Conred

Best part of it was Angel revealing that Fluttershy talk about marrying Discord when nobody beside animals are around.

You discuss with person whose entire on line existance is hating on this ship. Even if they get married he will say his mantra on how people he knows disagree with this ship.

I dont think Hasbro allow mane6 to get any confirmed boyfriend or husband. They want to leave door open for possibly returning to G4 as well as they don't want IDW comic or manga publisher to limit their stories. It would be hard for them to keep all those boyfriends relevant in each comic just like the show need to always bring Mad Briar with Maud. I guess Discord would be an exception since he usually hang around Fluttershy anyway so he might as well become her boyfriend officially as there is already very little difference between them being a couple and them being "close" friends.

Impossible. I doubt any cartoon will be as popular. We live in times when theres now dozens of shows each year and dozen streaming services each year. The fandoms like Star Wars, Star Trek or Bronies will never appear. Especially now, when most shows try to appeal to a single group of political spectrum. Shows that are keeping it to the center or only focus on fun will also happen less often.

They will only need a single hug while blushing in the Finale and its pretty much canon. Haters gonna hate but it is enough to make it canon after what they already teased this season

Look like Fluttercord is kind of canon.

The comics aren't canon. They made it clear with S9 Premiere bringing back Sombra even though he was reformed by Radiant Hope

Frenemies and Beginning of the End were the best episodes so far. The rest were kind of Meh

This is the last season. It will belong to Mane6 and Tiwlight. Be happy is Spike even play any role

They just confirmed them as besties. While that alone doesn't mean they can't become a couple (Discord and Fluttershy for example are "Besties" but that can change too) I really doubt their status will change due to Spike's not growing up or aging. He is still a abby dragon who only grown wings, Rarity is still an adult and cant share the same feelings for him.

I feel like we're going to see the closure of Discord and Fluttershy relationship in S9. Some things that make me think that way - Many show staff writers like Mike Vogel and Meghan McCarthy shipping it throughout the years - Andrea Libman who never shipped Fluttercord suddenly tease that Fluttershy crush on Discord - Recent comics seems to lead to revelations about Discord real love interest while he tries to get out from an abusive relationship with Cosmos. And writers of the comics usually have access to future season scripts - Spike pointing out that ship openly to the audience in Break Up Breakdown sound like something that Discord just doesn't want to admit Its still a speculation but out of all shippings seem to be the most visible by the writers and animators

Literally everyone who didn't have anti-shipping googles was aware that this was a sign that Marble was attracted to Big Mac. What really changed is that Big Mac was only attracted to her and got over it after that episode. Marble didn't met any other stallions between that time as she lives shelltered life.

There is so few male characters in MLP that they have to ship 4-5 female characters with one male to not leave anyone single

Leaks mentioned that McCarthy was stressed of doing a lot of work like G4-S9, G5 and EQG in just one year, so i think Hasbro only moved G5 to 2021 so that she couls find time to finish G4 and all the specials and shorts for G4 and EQG. I really doubt she will find time for another S10

Yeah, people shoudn't bet on Spike considering how unpopular he was with the writing crew and McCarthy. And If he's going to appear, he probably not going to be a kid and especially not interested in Rarity.

Actually, there was not a single hint or mention of Spike in the leaks. No mentioning him in emails and no early designs of him. While with Discord, we at least got a new race of Longmas which are either the draconequus or Kirins of G5

If they canonise FlutterCord in G4 then its very likely he will appear again as he would be permanently tied to Fluttershy character in future gens. Also leaks so far shown that a race of Longmas (dragon horses) exists so its very likely Discord might be one of them.

If the VA was just joking then it would be pretty dumb joke. Its like saying in Lyra's voice that she has a crush on Bon Bon. The joke doesnt work if anyone already ship it. It would make more sense if she joked about Fluttershy crushing on Angel or anyone else.

Its suppose to be the last season so the high stakes make sense. THere is no time for just random slice of life comedy, because even those episodes will focus on closing up arcs for all characters.

Are we allowed to discuss spoilers and leaks? Because i can give an outline of an idea of what we about to see in S9

Thing i REALLY dont want to see in LAST season: - ANY focus on school and student 6 - there is no time to develop new characters anymore - Political messages especaily about racism because it doesnt apply to this universe. It work in our world because humans are similar and only different by skill color and culture. Creatures in Equestria are very different and you cant push bullcrap about Dragons who eat and burn ponies daily to be equal to other ponies. They are different species and you can't just force ants and ant eaters to live in peace. - mass shipping of Mane6 (i can accept some well developed ones like Rarijack, LyraBon or Fluttercord but lets just not go with "all mane6 get some random stallions" like Twilight did in Equestria Girls - story of Spikes real parents, its irrelevant and his last "dad" episode only made me sure that we dont really need that answer - just like with Student6, i really dont want any more new additions to develop. We need to focus on finishing all arcs of Mane6, Spike, Discord, Big Mac and Starlight. As well as Princesses, Tirek, Chrysalis, Starswirl, Pillars and CMC. NO TIME FOR NEW ARCS AND CHARACTERS - no special pandering episodes, unless its a 200th special then its ok - no OC's or any fandom references. They are just cringy.

School Raze, Matter of Principals, Non Compete Clause, Yakkity Sax and Father know Beast were the WORST ABOMINATIONS of entire series and not just this season

The only main characters that have a male close friend and possible romantic arc in S9 are Stralight with Sunburst and Fluttershy with Discord. Rest of the characters are either barely developed with any male character (Soarin, Cheese Sandwich, Capper, Zephyr, Quibble Pants) or they are too controversial for tv show (Spike/Rarity). Sure they can just create new love interests for them in S9 but it look like it will most likely end with Fluttershy being the only one getting shipped.

Everyone working on the show if supporting them as a romantic couple.
