SOHCAHTOA

I actually think 13 is a good number of episodes for a season. Think: with less episodes, the pause between this and the next season will be smaller, and we have to wait less time in between the two-parter at the beggining of the season and the season finale.

Yeah, they're all awesome. I'm not an expert at that (voice acting is one of the few things of which I have no knowledge. Most other things I have at least some small knowledge) So I can't put into words how or why they are as good as they are. But they are awesome, and that's what matters. Sadly, that's not the case in the brazilian dub. The voices are really bad. But at least I can watch the english episodes.

Well, the friendship is not caused by magic, friendship causes magic. Also, I'm not sure I understood what you said. Did you show an opinion? To me that seems more like a simple observation. You haven't stated anything that I don't find obvious. Maybe this is not as obvious as I think? Maybe I shouldn't hold others to my standards... no seriously, that seems too obvious. Did you say anything important there? Sorry if I'm sounding rude...

Unicorns didn't "invent" the magic. Many creatures are magical, and even Earth Ponies and Pegasus have certain innate magic. The difference is that Unicorns are capable of applying magic, but they weren't the first: Discord is said to have lived for Eons, and he is capable of using magic, despite not being an Unicorn, or even an Alicorn. And no one "invented" science. Maybe earth ponies were the first to study the world, but it's impossible to invent science for the same reason it is impossible to invent gravity. You can discover it, but not invent it. And about the winter part. Yeah, you're right about that. But you seem to be confused: Guillermo is talking about the winter lasting forever in the present day. If the ponies have already removed the Windigos, then it no longer lasts forever, so why would they need to remove the winter manually? My theory is: tradition and a fear of not being in control of everything (remember, they're scared by the fact the clouds move by themselves in the Everfree Forest).

No one here said anything to the effect of "science and magic are opposites". In fact, I said the opposite, that magic is one type of science. Or were you not talking to anyone in this thread, but rather unespecifically to other people who believe magic and science to be opposites?

Ok. First of all, every known Unicorn can do Telekinesis, and that's what Pumpkin Cake did. She just used the most generic of all spells on herself, something that'd be hard if she didn't weigh so little. And Trixie does not prove anything. She doesn't learn magic, she never did. Her special talent is showmanship, so obviously she utilizes tricks and sleigh of hand. If you pay attention to it, every magic she used before the Alicorn amulet just involved humiliating her hecklers. In fact, the way she's so boastful makes me think her show always involved using weak tricks until someone made themselves a target for her specialty. She only used other magic after obtaining the Alicorn amulet, but those spells came directly from the amulet, she didn't "learn" anything. And yes, we don't know anything about Starswirl the Bearded, for all we know he might have had the same Cutie Mark as Twilight. Who's to say he's not an Ancestral to her. One millenium passed, the guy should have a big family who doesn't know they're related to him. But anyway, before putting him in the conversation we should have some information about him. There is no place for assumptions here. Celestia and Luna are exceptional. Who knows, they might even be exceptions. And Twilight's "magic" cutie mark is represented by stars. Maybe Celestia and Luna's also represent magic in general, but they're specialized in light/dark magic. There is NO evidence that all unicorns can learn some semblance of magic regardless of their personal skills and Cutie Marks. On the other hand, it is stated that Twilight's ability to learn different spells and even copy other Unicorns' spells is something special and unique, in the episode A Dog and Pony Show. Now, I'll skip the books for a while. First, the hatching of a dragon egg. Who said that's a usual test? Ponies don't often find dragon eggs, or else there would be lots more of dragons living with ponies, not to mention Celestia was the one who raised Spike until he became Twilight's assistant. Imagine the amount of dragons she'd have to watch over if that was a regular test. I don't know why she made it a test (though I do have some theories, which are nothing but speculation), but I doubt that has ever happened before or since. And regardless of the Cutie Marks of the other fillies and colts in Magic Kindergarten, who says that place even teaches magic? Maybe it just helps ponies to learn what's their talent and helps them learn to better control it. Now to the books. That's where you hit jackpot. You're right. You're totally right. I don't think there would be so many books about magic if it was impossible for regular Unicorns to learn magic. You're most likely right. Unicorns can learn magic if they dedicate themselves to the cause, and it's most likely that most unicorns simply see no reason to learn more magic than what they can do naturally. Twilight can just learn magic more easily as she has a "Magic" Cutie Mark.

@@GuillermoGage, I think that's just natural OCD from the ponies. Take Everfree Forest. That's proof that nature happens by itself in this world, however, just the idea of clouds being moved by the winds, or rainwater evaporating into clouds seems ghostly to the ponies. Although I like your idea that it only gets colder through the seasons because the Windigos live on. They're cool. Too bad they're more forces of nature than villains, since they always act indirectly, thus, they'll never become proper antagonists. @@Discordian, by what has been established in the series, each unicorn has one type of special magic they can use, associated with their talents. They don't need to study to learn it, they need to discover their purpose in life (Cutie Mark). Not mention the innate magic pertaining to the Pegasi and Earth Ponies. Magic is very rarely studied in the word of My Little Pony, and it's not about everyone who can learn more of it by studying. Twilight can only learn new spells studying because her special talent, her Cutie Mark, is "Magic". Rarity couldn't learn more spells if she wanted to (at least that's what I think. I've been wrong before).

Well, for starters, science is not only about it's practical uses, but it also serves for understanding the universe. Mr. Cake explains his son and daughter not being Earth Ponies by talking about members from his or Mrs. Cake family who weren't Earth Ponies either, and even to a child that seens plausible. But isn't it much more believable if you have some understanding of genetics? Sure magic can do lots of things, but does it explain what stars are made of? Or what's inside the planet? Also, while the magic of some Unicorns and Alicorns (Rarity and Cadance come to mind) are focused solely on one special talent, one type of magic; Celestia, Twilight, and most likely Starswirl the Bearded too, are mages through and through, in that they have knowledge of very varied spells, and they need to study to learn more spells. I believe that magic itself is a form of science, but in the same way that you don't need to understand gravity to fall, ponies don't need to understand magic to be capable of using it.

This should not be. A fighting game about ponies? Based in a show that's not even remotely focused on fighting? This should not be, and yet... it is. And it is awesome. It is the best freaking thing ever. It is so damn ridiculous, I don't even... but still, I want to play that game so damn much. One of the best videogame genres ever combined with the best cartoon to have ever existed. This.... I don't know the words necessary to describe this game in all of it's glory. Also, I hope after they finish it, they might think about making other genres of games, like racing, and RPG. GODDAMN I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY THIS GAME!!!!
