Tilt

But time travel done right like back to the future as referenced in this thread, won't leave you with such questions.

I believe in cause and effect, not this time loop here exists because it does.

But in order for that loop to have started in the first place, Twilight would have had to have been seriously hurt for the first twilight to ever go back in time to warn the past Twilight of something. The loop became that of worrying yes, but a loop has a starting point. 1st Twilight (Would have nothing to worry about but somehow gets injured so goes back into the past to warn 2nd Twilight) - 2nd Twilight causes the pain to herself over worrying and tells 3rd Twilight not to worry - This starts the loop of complete paranoia and now loops into her getting the injuries to begin with. Now the only thing that happens that could happen to 1st Twilight is maybe her injuries were sustained by Cerberus cause she wouldn't be worried and thus the dog would catch them by surprise.

I hate time travel episodes because everyone misses the obvious question that needs to be asked. Twilight is the one that causes Twilight to panic and do all that stuff to herself, but here's my question. what causes the first ever Twilight of that time loop to panic and get to that state? Time loops are annoying things and sometimes writing about them can shoot yourself in the foot or hoof in this case quite badly. By all accounts the time loop shouldn't of really happened.

Just here to show my appreciation for marshmellow pone. I adore her character and also love Tabitha St Germaine as a voice actor.

But how Gilda is portray is actually partially the ponies fault as well. For instance if Pinkie kept her distance Gilda and Dash hadn't pranked Gilda 4 times in a row then chances are Gilda wouldn't have done the outburst. Unfortunately that and a few other scenes is all we have for reference is the few scenes she shares with Pinkie, We actually never see Dash and Gilda hanging out un-disturbed. It's difficult to judge Gilda's character at her core when we only know that Dash and her used to be friends and that's it. I hope she will appear in season 5, I doubt she will but she is a character that needs fleshing out.

Celestia was mean to Luna for banishing her, therefore she must die.

Well various writers have joked about it on Twitter, also one said it could be Twilight, you know what happens when writers say that their killing off a character right? Character disappears for a couple episodes and then is back via plot contrivance. Perhaps it could be Twilight gets encased in a prison statue or something or other and the mane 5 have to find a way to bring her back. That's how I'd see it done.

All I have to say to that is this, you get pranked 5 times in a row and not lose your cool or at the very least get upset. I'm honest enough with myself that if I got pranked 5 times in a row I'd absolutely flip my lid. Yes, she does says she's down with a good prank....prank, one.
