  1. While at first glance it seemed like twilight being made a princess was pretty pointless except from a toy making point of view, Twilight actually HAS gotten a pretty distinct role in the country compared to celestia and luna over the past season: Diplomacy. Looking at what celestia has done over the past 1000 years, it looks like she's pretty much ignored every single non-pony civilization anywhere near equestria and has concentrated solely on dealing with the pony kingdoms; all well and good, but ever since Twilight took over as a princess, there's been a much larger outreach (by her) to other non-pony civilizations. Griffons, then dragons, changelings and yaks have all shown up following twilight becoming a princess and getting a castle. While twilight might not actually do a whole lot of Governing for the Equestrian kingdom itself, she has started to outreach to and build ties with OTHER kingdoms, something which absolutely none of the other princesses seemed to have been bothered with doing prior to twilight.
  2. I'd kind of like a future GOH comic where amore was knight templar insane after years of being shattered ala Sentinel prime in transformers wanting to purge undesirables from cybertron.
  3. the map is currently sitting in the "no point" corner of the room. There's no purpose or endgame for it, it just exists so the staff don't have to think up reasons for a plot to occur currently, just "Map is flashing"
  4. The most that ever happens to anyone in this show/series is them getting turned to stone, since they (for some reason) seem to treat being turned to stone as "not dying" even if you're shattered, on the basis of it being still possible to put your shards back together. Even sombra got retconned as surviving. for example, in a "get rid of them in a Non-lethal way" (Movie spoilers)
  5. True, but the shorts look to still be stuck in summer mode, given how the next thing seems to be revolving around the beach.
  6. Good episode really. Found it pretty good, and while I think it IS a weaker Daring do episode (Stranger than fan fiction is so much better... but stranger than fanfiction is also one of the best in the show IMO), still very serviceable. Really enjoy them trying to showcase Pinkie's element as representing hope a bit more, since that's pretty vauge in the show apart from one line from celestia. Cabelleron is much better than azuihotl honestly; Azuhiotl is a pretty crappy villain who comes off as just a raging (literal) retard most of the time, while cabelleron actually seems to plot things out and works better as a foil/villain to daring do. (especially in the novels where azuihotl almost defeats himself multiple times and only gets by due to having someone else to think for him) The mane six being useless or easily capturable when the plot calls for it is a bit of a running issue in the show currently really; I mean, even going past the mane six, Starlight was pretty incompetent in yesterday's episode too when push came to shove. (Its like ponies are leprechauns, capture them in a bag and they're indebted to not use their magic to escape without your wishes) I would honestly have liked a scene where dash chews them out for worrying about the physical object and not the INTENT of the object-- Somnambula would have prioritized helping others over any physical object no matter how precious after all, so being upset about the statue being destroyed without looking at WHY is missing the point of having it IMO.
  7. This is probably going to be the somnambula episode since she'll be pinkie's analogue in the legends of of magic, and there's not really any other opportunities for somnambula's legend to pop up. Probably will have something where daring do shares a story about somnambula to dash and compares pinkie to her.
  8. Eh, going to disagree about sunset. Sunset was the only one with a near *perfect* original design, so them changing it for a new one just seems like a bad move. Really think the new design is a huge step down from her previous look. Applejack's look is good, but her look is also incredibly similiar to her old look honestly XD I kind of wish they would have tweaked these a bit honestly; Pinkie's would have been great if it was just one frill instead of 3, and I kind of wish dash had black shorts instead of black pants (love black on RD honestly, but the long pants still look a little too much)
  9. What?! Whatever made you think THAT?! they just got turned to stone, which seems to be the go to method (in both the comics and movie) for getting rid of them in a "Permanent if they're not rescued" way. No one ever dies in MLP; the worst that happens is they get turned to stone and shattered. (Even sombra ended up being retconned to have survived)
  10. So here's some better images of their new looks; not their dolls here, but if you look at the side of each package they have the new designs for the mane six on each. There's no dash or rarity toy out of this line for some reason, sadly.
  11. Given all the retcons going around, its not impossible to think that the 8 items aren't specifically referring to ones OWNED by meadowbrook, but ones she dealt with. So 6 of the items might have been owned by her and the other legends, while 1 or 2 of them could have been used by a villain, dropping the number down some. (Like one of the magical items could have been referring to one used by the pony of shadows)
  12. Strong as they need to be. Which means when the writers want a situation to be tense they'll act like the ponies are incredibly weak (See the movie and how easily they're over run), and when they need them to be strong they'll be super stronk (things like maud pie, ect)
  13. I have an insane theory that the pony of shadows from the finale for this season will turn out to be a corrupted starswirl the bearded. Nothing to go on but personal theorizing though At the very least, I think that the pony of shadows will be involved in whatever it is that caused starswirl to dissapear, given how his legends comic had him do a long speech about how he wouldn't always be there, and the legends of magic comic will feature him heavily as one of the legends (And will tie into the finale)
  14. So, in the last episode we had tree legends of the past show up, and we're going to be having meadowbrook (For some reason an earth pony and not an "eastern unicorn"...) show up as well later on this season. Think that the Items possessed by the three ponies in campfire tales were some of the 8 magical items? (Rockhoof's shovel, flash's Shield, and that flower that Mistmane used)
  15. are you implying the movie will be non-canon? because movies are generally where you WANT to pull out all the stops due to higher production values and less rating constraints.
  16. Apparently they wanted to cut alot of the pony continuity stuff out for the intro to the movie to make it as non-confusing as possible to newbies.
