  1. Yeah, I kind of figured as much, I can understand, why, but I still wish she could have gotten some role bigger than the small cameos, she got. I mean, given the build up we have been getting with her character, it is obvious the writers wants her to be the 7th member of the team, so that should make her a main character now. Also I kind of expected Discord to not appear, and had already excepted it before going into the movie, I was just surprised that Starlight barley made it. Discord's powers would have made it complicated because, say the Storm King won, got the power and froze Twilight and her friends and Tempest. Discord would just appear, snap his fingers, the Storm King would no longer have control over the sun, moon or weather, as Discord would have that control now and then ultimately Discord would have mostly given the power back to save Fluttershy. And I am doubtful the Storm King would have been able to stop him. It seems, like the chances of us seeing Discord is higher if the villain is somehow more powerful than even Discord, or has some item that can negate his magic.
  2. This comic kind of implies, something. Where is human Sunset's Skirt and undergarmets? Given her skeleton is still intake and that if fish had taken them then the would have taken the jacket and shirt to so.... This kind of tells me she was not wearing them.
  3. I am not really skeptical about it in the show, she gets a lot of attention in the show, I was just surprised she did nothing in the movie as I feel she could have been a good help at seeing the stress that Twilight was going through, and maybe even stopped her from taking the Hypogriphs magic orb.
  4. I know, I was hoping that animation can be used, or atleast something similar to it, in future projects of MLP.
  5. That is actually a good point, I did not think of that. I assumed it started a little after season 5 started, or atleast by when it ended but if its been in development longer than that, then yes I can see why. Actually now that you bring that up, the way the Mane 6 acted felt very pre-season 4 final, as Twilight felt to insecure about her responsibilities then she does now, she did not feel like a Twilight that could be a teacher, so i guess, that's a good enough reason. Still though I wish she could have atleast did something, even if it was just a brief shot of her trying to fight the guards in Twilight and friends absence. Yeah I did not think of that, though given certain information we can't really talk about, I am not certain that she will have a chance to appear a big movie before the series ends. And that is kind of saddening.
  6. Tirek, all the way. I am sorry but the Storm King felt to goofy to really be threatening, I mean, Discord was goofy, but he did not let that goofieness, distract him from his goal, and can prove to be truly threatening when angered. I mean the fact I feel more intimidated by someone who makes clouds rain chocolate and turns grass into soap then the bad guy that turned people into chrystal statues is saying something.
  7. For many of you may already know, Starlight's involment in the movie was left to cameo's( though she still got more screen time then Discord. I talk about that later) She appeared briefly in the opening and in the ending credits. Now after seeing the movies, I am confused as to what reason they have for not including her in the adventure with Twilight and her friends as I feel she could have added a sense of calm in keeping the Mane 6 under control instead of their seemingly panicked state they were in for most of the film, heck she may have even directly confronted Tempest head on to save Twilight. That leads into my point however, is this implying that Starlight is more power than even Twilight herself. I suspected she is equal to Twilight, even as an alicorn, but to be even more powerful. I mean, in most situations, in the series that had a big bad, Starlight had some involvement, yet here she was just forgotten about just like Discord. Now Discord I somewhat understand, why they did not bring him in, as if they did, they would have no excuse as to why he could not stop the Storm King, and they did not want a "Snap fingers and make everything better scenario" I understand that for Discord, but why was Starlight not included, she was clearly shown in the movie, yet was not a part of the conflict. Was their not enough budget to include her? Was their no un-neeed background pony she could have replaced, to have a bigger role? Or was she(like Discord) to powerful to justify her not stopping the Storm King, and if that is the case then they really need to do something about that. The movie was not bad, I just don't get why, sense they basically forced Starlight on us as the 7th member of the Mane 6, you would think she would atleast play some role in the first theatrical movie of the series. Quick Edit: It appears Discord did make a cameo in the movie. After rewatching the end credits, he is seen dancing as Vinyl starts the music. Sneaky, DHX, very sneaky.
  8. It was mine as well, and I see what your saying, but at the same time, their were plenty of scenes they could have used that did not require the CMC to get their point across. I don't recall the Rainbow Dash analysis being to spoiler-y so if anyone was a fan of Deathbattle they may refer to that episode believing that the analysis will be solely Pinkie Pie.
  9. SPOILER WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE NEW DEATHBATTLE, GO WATCH THAT BEFORE READING. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. As everyone one my know, the recent Deathbattle had a matchup between Deadpool and everyone favorite party pony Pinkie Pie. Before we get into to this let me explain what a Deathbattle is for those that may be unfamiliar, Deathbattle is a series that take two media icons and clashes them together into a epic fight to the death. The 2 announcers (Wis and Boomstick) gives a analysis of the characters backstory as well as their powers, weapons and weaknesses. They then give a animation were the 2 character us said abilities to see witch of them would come out on top, then by the end the winner is declared and Wis and Boomstick gives some final thoughts as to why they won. Now with that out of the way, on with the main topic. The issue I have noticed is that, in the analysis of Pinkie Pie, Boomstick makes a remark about CutieMarks, where Wis goes on to explain what they are, but as he was explaining, they show the clip from Crusaders of the lost mark" where the CMC get their cutiemarks for the first time. Now yes, I know it has been some time, sense then but I would hate to think that there maybe some bronies out there that may have lagged a bit when it comes to the seasons and may not have reached that season as of yet, and maybe trying to stay spoiler free until they catch up, only to have such a big reveal, be spoiled without warning. Now I don't fault ScrewAttack as I don't think spoiling was their intention, I still see this as a big spoiler, and I would urge if any of you might have a friend or know someone that likes both MLP and Deathbattle, that have not gotten to Season 5 yet of MLP to warn them to atleast finish season 5 before tackling this new deathbattle.
  10. I feel like MLP keeps adding in way too many characters, and are starting to overcrowd the show. What I mean is, before Seasons 5 and 6, how long had it been since we saw Trixie or Gilda? How long has it been since we had an episode focused around the Cake Twins? How long has it been since we have seen Zecora? How long since we have gotten to see the Cakes themselves outside of background appearances. It seem that the more main characters and background characters they add, the longer it takes before we see other characters. It just feel like there are too many characters to have to worry about to fit in episodes. I mean I don't mind new characters, but they have got to add a better balance, because, now that Gilda is reformed, how long will it be before we see her again? Will we ever see the Sea Serpent from the first episode of season 1 that reappeared in the 100th episode special again? I don't know how many more seasons, we have but we already have so many characters that have not been seen for seasons, and that is due to so many characters constantly being added.
  11. I am really hoping they are listing it as 3 specials because it will be a 3 part movie, and all the specials will connect together into one big movie. I have seen what they consider specials, and those are usually those 2 minute animated shorts that advertise a upcoming movie. I don't want these to just be a series of short animations that tries to rap up the plot they showed at the end of Legends of the Everfree and then thats it.
  12. A lot of things could be seen as formulaic, but with how brash and stubborn Rainbow can be I feel a lesson like that is something she needs to learn more then Rarity did. Again, being a sibling does not mean, that Scootaloo can't admire Rainbow Dash or that her being a sibling makes it less memorable. Its just, is it really that far of a stretch that 3 ponies fillies just so happened to meet each other and are siblings of the main cast of characters? Considering the fact they all live in Ponyville, go to the same school and know 3 of the main characters, even when said main characters became linked though a event one of them performed in childhood.
  13. I can understand that, but that could have also been a lesson that Rainbow Dash had to work toward. She would learn she needs to take up that mantle and even as a role model she still does a good job at watching over Scootaloo, I just feel that her role of being a role model would not be jeopardized by her being a older sister to Scoots. If anything it would make her more determined to make Rainbow proud of her. It's just that, if feels weird that 2/3's of the CMC are sisters to the Mane 7, it makes Scootaloo feel like the odd one out despite the archetype they have clearly made for Scootaloo, just like Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belles shares traits with their sister, Scoots shares traits with Rainbow, which is why I feel had Rainbow had a younger sister Scoots would fit the role perfectly.
  14. While I will agree it would be a stretch to make a human Sunset Shimmer and make her a recurring character, I feel we should atleast get some form of information about her, even if she is nothing more then a 2 second camo seen off screen, something to atleast show she exist and is alive so we stop getting comics that show Pony Sunset, killing and replacing Human Sunset. Also I would like atleast one movie, have Sunset come back and make amends, I just don't see Sunset being able to fully move on, with out making amends to everyone she hurt, she can make amends all she wants to Canterlot High, but there is still one pony in Equestria, who just wants to see her even if its only one more time, so complete phasing out Pony Twilight would make that impossible. I feel they need to do that, so that Sunset can really say shes changed for the better and finally put that fiasco behind her.
  15. If you look a the CMC you can see similar traits to 3 of the Mane 7, Rainbow, Rarity, and Apple Jack, however only 2 of the CMC are actually siblings to these 3 ponies, Rainbow Dash is just more of a role model for Scoots rather then a actual sister. And it always made me curious as to why she wasn't made Rainbows sister, I mean, every other Mane 7 character (with the exception of Starlight Glimmer) has some form of brother or sister. Apple Jack has a older brother and litter sister, Rarity has a younger sister, Fluttershy has a younger brother, Twilight has a older brother and sister in law and Pinkie has 3 sisters, yet Rainbow Dash does not have a brother or sister of any kind, yet Scootaloo seems to be the perfect archetype to be her sister, just like Applebloom matches AJ and Sweetie Belle matches Rarity. It makes me wonder if at one point she was going to be Rainbows sister, but was cut for some reason.
  16. Stopping and thinking about the 4 movies, their had been a trend, in the first movie, it was about reforming Sunset Shimmer and then the second movie was about teaching her confidence and passing the torch so to speak. The third one dealt with reforming the human Twilight, will the fourth on went on to teaching her confidence and possibly passing the torch again. Do you think in the fifth movie we will see Starlight Glimmer appear, and it will be human Twilights job to reform her and then the sixth movie will be about integrating her into the group. Thus making them the Humane 8, I mean it wouldn't be that far fetched, they were the Humane 7 before the Mane 6 became the Mane 7, so maybe they will become the Humane 8 and then season 7 will be about Starlight ascending and taking on her own student and that student becomes the 8th member of the Mane 7.
  17. So does that mean we will never see pony Twi return? I mean, it would be kind of dumb to stop including her now, after having her have 3 appearances already, I could understand if they made a spin off series to the movies that they would likely use human Twi, so they can keep the 2 series separated, but seeing as pony Twi is already their friend, she will have to return sometime. And I don't mean she has to be a new addition, maybe we can learn that her human counterpart is bad and no matter what they can't reform her so she is left in the same state as the Dazzlings, where she is defeated, but not reformed. Also I feel as it would fit as a perfect foil, giving Sunset a glimpse of what she use to be like and what her life could have been if she continued down that road, it could be a very big reminder for her and a way to help her move on from that event.
  18. With the release of "The legends of Everfree" just around the corner, this will mark the 4th Equestria Girls movie to release. Now out of all the movies one lingering question has still went unanswered, where is the human counterpart to Sunset Shimmer. We have seen there are human equivalents to all of the Mane 6 even Twilight, but there does not seem to be a human Sunset. This makes me curious, is it possible that Sunset did not exist in that would before she came there from Equestria? Or is it just chance that they have not met each other. Now since it is unlikely the human counterpart will appear in "Legends of Everfree", it is still possible that she could appear in future movies, and would we want her to. I mean, I find it difficult how she would be explained, there can't be 2 Sunset, so either they would have to seen the Sunset away, or they would have to make her a possible recurring villain, one that is likely upset with her goody to shoes counterpart and don't like the fact that her reputation is being spoiled by what she may deem a imposter.
  19. Might I ask whats so problematic that the baby has a lot of power? First off, we don't even know if the baby will struggle with her powers through out the season, and even if she does, what the problem with the infant learning to control her power? If this has to do with her potentially being more powerful then the upcoming villains and will be used as some means to defeat, the villain, it is very doubtful that would happen. Twilight and her friends are not going to turn to a infant to fix their problems, hell they have to Lord of Chaos as a friend and he has yet to become a plot-device and as of yet(with the exception of maybe Tirek) we have not seen a character that could match his power, without the help of special artifacts or others magic.
  20. After readying some of the comments here, it seems to be a general consensuses that Bill is better than Discord, based off the fact that he is more sinister than Discord. While this is true, I feel that isn't a fair means to say Bill is better on the grounds that he would actually kill while Discord would not. Seeing how both shows cater to a different audience, Discord is unfortunately tied to a audience that would be to young to handle the kind of violence that Bill could muster, with that said I feel the deciding factor should be left up to there powers and powers alone. Which of the two is more powerful in terms of raw power? Now many here would probably still chose Bill, but you have to take in numerous factors first, though powerful there are a lot of limitations Bills powers possess that Discords does not. First of which is his manipulation of the mind, before Bill can enter someones mind, he has to make a deal with them to do so, while Discord has shown no such limitation do to the fact he flat out brainwashed Fluttershy in "The Return of Harmony". Secondly Bill seems to not be able to fully cross dimensions, though his spirit form can, it would appear his physical form requires someone from that dimension to open a portal to allow his physical form through, where as Discord can just flat out tear open portals to other dimensions at will, heck he lives in another dimension anyway. Lastly Bill seems to have a limit to how far his weirdness can spread without his influence as well as how far he has to be from someone to effect them with his powers. He seems to need to either be in close proximity of the victim or requires something he made to spread his weirdness, my reason for believing this is because through out the Weirdmageddon trilogy he either had to use his minions to capture, trap and or kill his victims as well as various other items to spread his weirdness. Heck the initial wave that effected the entire town was caused form Bills dimension leaking into Gravity Falls, not Bill directly, also he had to physically chase down Dipper and Mable to capture them instead of just snapping his finger and bringing them to him as well as leave his castle to fight the Mystery Shack Robot rather that effect it from a distance. Discord has shown that if he wanted to he could spread his chaos globally while he remains comfortable in his thrown in the center of Ponyville, he can even manipulate celestial bodies without having to leave the planet, which if I am not mistaken about Bill, would require him to atleast be in space before he could manipulate them. Also their weakness while both somewhat difficult to pull off, Bills weakness is a lot more flexible than Discords, and here is why. The Zodiac that suppose to be Bills ultimate weakness, though the people who represents those symbols were destined to be there, the symbols themselves are vague enough to where anyone who meet the symbols meaning could be used to activate the Zodiac where as Discords weakness (which is the Elements of Harmony) are entirely linked to destiny, meaning only ponies fated to bare those elements can use them. Meaning that if Twilight and her friends were to pass on, their connection to the Elements would be broken and they would likely be turned to stone until the next bearers were to be born. So as my final verdict, I say in all fairness they are even, even with Bills limitations, they are both reality benders and could likely cancel out anything the other does, its just that when it comes to Discord, he would have little to no limitations while Bill would still have restrictions. Also I would like to point out that a spell made from a unicorns tears and hair was strong enough to stop Bills weirdness, meaning that it would be almost impossible for Bill to spread his Weirdmageddon through out Equestia do to the plentiful supply of unicorns, where as a great amount of magic is required to stop Discord. It took Tirek draining all the magic in Equestria as well as the magic from 5 of the 6 Element Bearer, before he was able to steal Discords magic.
  21. I'm not saying it was DHX's fault, I am saying that all the work they put into keeping the CMC getting their marks a secret would have been wasted if it had been any other episode after "CoTLM".
  22. She did have her mark, in every episode after "Crusaders of the Lost Mark that featured the CMC, they had their marks. So had the episode "What about Discord" or "The Mane Event" aired early, the surprise would have been ruined.
  23. I know its been a while since the release of "The Scare Master" but I thought I would finally bring up a topic that has been on my mind for a while now. As many of you must know, the episode "The Scare Master" was leaked a few weeks prier to its actual release date and as a result was uploaded to Youtube. I admittedly was one of the few( admit it I know a few of you out their could not resist)that watched the leaks as they appeared on Youtube. Now I know what you all must be thinking, "so what if the episode released early, alot of episodes get leaked" while this is true, the episode itself was not the issue but the ponies that had appeared in it. The original leak released prior to "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" which was a big and special episodes to alot of us because it marks the end of the CMCs ark, as they finally got their marks, but the problem with "The Scare Master" that despite leaking before "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" the episode itself takes place after "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" and just so happens to feature the 3 little fillies in question. Now the reason I am asking do you think that DHX dodged a bullet is because in the very episode the CMC had costumes on that covered their plots and their Cutie-Marks. Seeing how "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" was intended to be a special episode, marking the 5 year anniversary of the shows original air date and the fact that DHX had been very vague in what they showed about the episode and the description. Had it had been any other episodes that had leaked out by mistake, then the reveal of the CMCs cutiemarks would have been leaked out long before it was meant to be revealed thus ruining the overall surprise, because lets face it, the second those marks were saw they would have been plastered all over the internet, you would literally stay of the internet until the episode released, otherwise you would likely have been spoiled. So yeah considering the episode that leaked, do any of you feel they were lucky or do some believe this was intentional in some way.
  24. There had been concept art that appeared before we even knew what characters we would get, also that picture does not look like the figure of a pony. This character could also be it.
