"The magic begins in 2017?" Well blimey, what the heck has all this friendship nonsense been for the past few years? "You call this magic?! Ain't magic enough, muthabucka!"

And we finally get to see the movie and it turns into End of Evangelion and everypony dies in bizarre fashion and it's like "IS THIS MAGICAL ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"

I like to imagine an older Spike finally managing to win over Rarity.

This all the way.

Spikebelle is an awful ship, it's basically Spike taking Sweetie Belle as a consolation prize because he can't get the real thing.

And this. It'd be one thing if they've had any interaction other than that one photo from the wedding. I've seen some people characterize it as Sweetie Belle having a crush on Spike, who's too busy crushing on Rarity to notice, that's kind of cute. Good for you if you legitimately think it's a good ship, But an unfortunate amount of dudes are like, "Heh, if he can't get the girl, settle for the sister, am I right?!"

Well, that settles that. Now we need to have an episode with Luna visiting Spike's dreams.

"These dreams are actually quite normal for a boy your age, Spike. You really should read that pamphlet Twilight gave you."

Spike is sooo much smarter than all the 10 year olds I know. Maybe i'm surrounded by unintelligent children..?

I've accepted a long time ago that many of the children I know in real life will never be as competent, tolerable, or radical as children on television shows. Sad but true.

Anyway, in response to topic, Spike is probably closer to 12-14 at this point, and kids that age crush on older people all the time.

Did you even read the OP or...?

Or I'm genuinely distressed by the incomplete spectrum in Rainbow's hair.

It's my opinion, respect it. Or take it to the 137 other "Am I the only one who doesn't like Rainbow Dash?" threads, the existence of which should by themselves be an awnser to that question.

Why is everybody getting shipping vibes? They're just having a perfectly normal jam session in which they rock so hard that they make each other's accessories fly off, somehow making them even more naked.

Fluttershy. Look at her, strutting around with her fancy pink hair and such. God, could you not?

I'm a fan of Sparity, when both of them are older. Dragon x unicorn romance is adorable as shizz.

I've also liked DoctorDerpy for a while, and I'm growing fond of FlutterBulk. Not sure why, it just seems weirdly fitting.

If you are asking if the next villain of the show should be the Monopoly guy, then yes.

Copy-pasting my response from somewhere else, because this does not dignify new, original thought.

I don't think he never truly cared about the show. One does not make that many videos for that long for something they never genuinely cared about. If he doesn't think the show is good anymore and wants to move on to stuff that actually interest him, more power to him.

But the whole thing feels like an attempt to make it more dramatic and meaningful then it actually is. He isn't just drifting away from the show, he's "leaving the fandom," and it's other people who makes him feel like he needs to censor his output despite the fact that most actual critics just put up with it and say what they want, and he's being oppressed by a negative atmosphere that stifles creativity and doesn't match his lofty expectations for a community of people who analyze My Little Pony.

Give me a break. Whatever harsh point you were trying to deliver to the My Little Pony Analysis Community is slightly undercut by your constant sipping of Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

It's best Vinyl doesn't have a voice in the show, me thinks. No one wants a Vinyl that doesn't sound like Nowacking, and I suspect Hasbro would work out a way to legally keep her from doing anymore fan stuff if she did contribute a few official lines.

I don't think so. I always thought it was the writers thinking it'd be funny if Pinkie went over the top and started ranting about the worst possible scenario; it's a gag that get's done a lot. Evidently, it would have served the writers to remember what was already established about Pinkie's understanding of Fluttershy's hang-ups.

Besides, I don't really think Pinkie is the revenge type. Unless it's over a Pinkie Promise.

I'd say he's started somewhere around 10 or 11, and has aged enough within the show that he's hit the dragon equivalent of puberty, so calling him a baby wouldn't be appropriate from us. However, dragons live for a thousand years or something, and dragon maturity is a murky subject, so maybe he's still technically a "baby," at least according to the lore.

Oh look, another "Rainbow Dash iz teh wurztest pone" thread! What a joyous bi-daily past time. Truly brings us all together as a community.

Okay, how about this: there's no violet in her rainbow mane. Geez, get with the program, DHX, emmiright?! Season 1 is the best, #BringBackFaust!

Maybe she just wanted to move out on her own as soon as she could, and the weather management position was open in Ponyville. She does seem like the kind to want to speed along to adulthood as soon as possible. She did mentioned she was the first in her class to get her cutie mark.

I really love the rapid pace of the episode. They made an effort to introduce as many jokes and visual gags as they could possibly fit in, and almost all of them were funny.

Loved it, 10/10, the universe is now complete.

Because it gave Rarity the chance she needed.

Let's just say that wasn't all she did to his boat...

Honestly that's a fair point. However one of my main problems with the shows interpretation of dragons is that they try to make them seem dangerous, but they come off (to me anyway) as a weak joke with very little bite. I love it when the culture of a species is shown as vague and mysterious; like the zebra and griffins from the show, or the deer from the comics. The dragons though have always lacked that for me. I appreciated what they tried to do with Dragonquest, but it always felt like a missed opportunity for me. With the comic interpretation at least we're given something that I can grab onto and believe without scratching my head.

I just don't like the idea of them flat-out living with ponies, let alone the idea that they have a town and a comic book industry and all that goofiness. It's like the writer really wanted to do something about racism and dragons, but all they could think up was having them literally live in an intercity neighborhood. And in an attempt to not write a story that wouldn't interfere with future episodes, they wrote a story that doesn't fit in with what little has been established at all.

Fairly Odd Parents's Francis

Freaking Francis at least made me laugh sometimes. "It's the second letter in 'death,' and the third letter in 'die!'"

Eh; I never saw much mystique with dragons in the show. Honestly; they never felt properly implemented in the lore outside of the Journal of the Two Sister. I actually preferred the comic interpretation as we actually get some character from them that isn't immediately repulsive.

I like that we don't know too much about dragon culture, or whether they have much of a culture at all; the idea that they're too dangerous too be around and that's why ponies don't know too much about them.

I'm cool with having dragons that aren't repulsive, but the idea of them living in what looks like Bedrock from The Flintstones right down the street from ponies is ridiculous. Besides clashing with that danger the show has been pushing up to this point, it makes Spike less unique. He was once the child of two separate cultures, trying to live up to the virtues and society he was brought up with while struggling to find out where he came from and how to cope with instincts that might not necessarily be safe for his friends and family.

Now he's just some adopted kid going through puberty. It's like, "Why didn't we just go down the street and ask a dragon why our dragon turned into a giant monster?"

She is very well written, it's the behaviour you would expect from a child without present parents. Without love.

How do we know her parents aren't present? That's just the same back story everyone concocts for her. If anything, we know her father cares enough to have her participate in her classmate's activities in "Family Appreciation Day."

Anyway, no, she's not a well-written character. No, it's not because she's a bully character, because there's been plenty of bully characters who have been very entertaining, interesting, and worthwhile, such as Angelica as mentioned above, or Biff from Back to the Future, or the Plastics from Mean Girls and the Heathers from Heathers, or Nelson from The Simpsons. She's unfunny, obnoxious, and has had absolutely no character development in the show's five years of existence. I guess if that's what they were going for, than mission accomplished, but some writing above the level of "HUR-DURR, BLANK FLANKZ" would be nice.

This show has featured dictators, heartless monsters, and soul-stealing psychopaths, and the fact that I welcome and enjoy their presence more than the bratty bully character seems off to me.

But she developed from a spoiled brat to pure evil when she made fun of Scootaloo's inability to fly.

That's not development, that's just more of the same

Well, if you count the comics as canon there are dragons living in Fillydelphia.

No, there isn't any dragons living with ponies. It was obviously all a bad dream devised by Luna to teach Spike a lesson about dignity or something and is no way something that should be considered a piece of canon that would just so happen to ruin a lot of the mystique surrounding the dragons presented in the show and completely clashes with Spike's character development up to this point.

It never happened.

Anyway, what @@~Chaotic Discord~ said. I think dragons just don't care about anyone else. They're big and scary and live where they want, when they want, and everyone else has to deal with it. It's more a lack of respect than outright racism, or whatever the proper term for this would be.

I used to think it was around three or so years, with Season 3 & 4 roughly happening in the span of one. I think the Summer Sun Celebration happens in the first half of the season, so Season 4 could conceivably happen between then and the following fall

And then "first winter together" comes along and suggests that even more crap happened in that same year, up to and including the royal wedding. And if one includes the comics in that continuity, then one will go mad.

I still say around three years or so, but that last one was one eventful year.

Probably for the same reason anyone of considerable position goes to any event that annoys them: it comes with the job. Twilight definitely has to go now, and her friends are probably along for the ride.

Maybe they think it won't be so bad this time if they stick together like they should have last time.

that doesnt explain why Discord would be going, he shouldnt even be allowed after what messes he made in the past, and yes i know that Fluttershy refromed him but that doesnt allow him to go to the biggest party in all of equestria...

Synopsis sez:

"After finding out that Fluttershy is taking a new friend to the Grand Galloping Gala instead of him, Discord goes to extreme lengths to show that it doesn't bother him."

Discord is just doing because Discord.

We're only mainstream in the fact that most have probably heard of us weirdos in passing at some point. Otherwise, nope. Maybe that changes a bit with the movie in 2017, but who knows.
