    how the buck do names work!

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    Well, in my headcanon, unicorn surnames are the last part of their name, e.g Twilight "Clover" sparkle, shining "Armor" Sparkle, Sweetie "Melody" Belle , Rarity "Paige" Bell

    Finally, Fancy Pants name makes sense. Here we have a unicorn, that dose'nt wear pants, named Fancy Pants. His middle name is "Not Wearing Any".

    How did the mailpony get to Discord's house?

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    There is a mailbox on a little traveled road on the outskirts of Ponyville. There are no houses around, just a lone mailbox. On the side of the mailbox scrawled in crayon is the word "Discord". When the box is opened a swirling vortex of chaotic magic sucks whoever opened the box into the dimension where Discords neiborhood is.

    If there were an ep where one of the Mane Six got pregnant, who should it be?

    I'm going to have to go with Rarity here. First she's the only one we have seen show any interest in stallions on the show, so it just makes sense. Then there is how we've seen her with Sweetie Belle, and to a lesser extent, Opal. Then there would be her epic freak out, "of all the worst possible things that could happen, this is the worst possible thing!". Her concern about what it would do to her body. She might even try to use her generosity to give her foal away.

    OK,before two thousand ten they didn't exist. It is now two thousand fifteen. Let's see, got my calculator out ...carry the one, and the answer is five. They are five years old. Sorry if I went and muddied up the facts with my fancy mathematics.

    Boast Busters: Is it really so bad?

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    An fake magician is not that amusing in the world of magic. Though that isn't her career which is obvious, but if I was to play your game and say she was playing out a fake magician and letting everyone know it her career would of flopped before it even started no matter where she performed.

    She is not a "fake" magician. As Twilight says to Spike at the beginning of the episode "most unicorns only know a few spells" and Spike says "wow Twilight, you must know more spells than any unicorn in Equestria". Therefore, when Trixie is preforming her magic act, the ponies in the audience are impressed by the amount of spells she can preform. Except for AJ, Dash, and Rarity, who apparently have never seen a performance of any kind, and decided to be dicks and start heckling the performer in the middle of her act. To further the point that she was there to entertain the audience. The first magic trick she did, before being rudely interrupted, was to materialize a bouquet of flowers. That's almost a cliché as a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat. They are practically hitting you over the head with the fact that she is a stage performer.

    S05:E10 - Princess Spike

    in Season 5 Discussion

    I could really relate to this episode. Just like Princess Twilight, I had a hard time staying awake for most of this episode.

    Since the show is basically an advertisement to sell toys, my question is why do they keep making Spikecenteric episodes when Hasbro dose'nt even sell Spike toys?

    I think the biggest flaw with these Spike episodes (other than the redundancy) is that in most episodes he is shown to be competent, but when he is the focus of the episode he is anything but.

    the whole Sunny returning to Equestria  idea was on topic, though, and would be the best way to get into the whole long-distance relationship thing. I am interested in seeing what Sunny plans to do with the rest of her life, if she (Luna forbid) stays in the human world. Why even attend college, community or university, to just work on friendships, if she'd be learning more from friendship than she would from any field that college might offer? Sounds like the option you're gunning for is for her to decline college entirely and find a job working close to her friends, but I don't quite see how that'd be telling much of a story that hasn't already been shown in MLP:FIM, with the Mane 6 sticking together, rather than having to maintain their friendships apart from each other.

     

     

    Sorry. I went into fan fic mode there for a minute. ( I an foreshadowing Sunny's return to Equestria. [..."not even she could believe that she turned down a full scholarship from a university for community college. But there must have been a reason"] .. I have since written an outline for a fan fic story based on this.

    I like the idea of them graduating...or at least Sunny, who seems to have been there for 3 years of Fall formals, already, from what I took from the first movie. She should be a senior, if the most recent fall formal was her fourth, or if it took her a year to get established in the human world, and the third fall formal she won was her last, at that school. Time for Sunny to move on to bigger and better things, and  facing graduation could pave the way for that long distance relationship setup to work out. It'd be interesting if she looked into getting a job in the human world (please, something other than flipping burgers. She's quite the accomplished student, so it'd be a shame to waste those talents), or weighing the option of returning to the pony world to work as Luna's apprentice, as Twilight was to Celestia. I get the feeling her and Twi are meant to be ruling together, like Celestia and Luna, since they play the same roles.

    Yes, Sunny returning to Equestria, being Luna's apprentice, to eventually alicorn along side Twi is the best. Keeping on topic, I could see Sunset being accepted to a university, but she decides to enroll at a community college to stay close to her friends. No one thinks this is a wise decision for her, but she knows that she can learn more from friendships than she will ever learn in college. A story could revolve around having to work her way through school, and her friends trying to help her out, like AJ "we could always use an extra hand on the farm, or Fluttershy getting her a job at the animal shelter, or Dash saying the team needs someone like her as an equipment manager, etc. (Ain't no way Sunny is flipping burgers!)

    This stuff almost writes itself.

    Could these two be sisters?

    in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion

    Similar (,or in this case exact) hair styles is not a particularly good indication of being siblings in humans. In cartoon ponies, maybe. However, what we have seen of siblings in the show, I can't recall any of them having the same, or even similar manestyles.

    I think the important thing to keep in mind here is the target audience. While the upper age of FIM (for selling toys to) is eight or nine year olds, while Equestria Girls is meant to appeal to pre-teens (ten to twelve year olds). Highschool is an unknown mysterious, and intriguing place to those in that age group. Most highschool drama shows/ movies appeal to those that have yet to experience it. So that sort of limits how far they can go with world building.

    As far as the characters being copies of their pony counterparts. They can't stray too far from the personalities that they already established in order to keep the characters familiar. I tend to think about it like this; the ponies are adults, but in Equestria Girls it attempts to show how they would have been as teens AND in a world more similar to our own. So within those constraints, it almost can't help but feel like they are playing it safe. Not to mention that the movie format just dose'nt lend itself to the same level of story telling that a series does.

    With that said, I think you are right. At this point with the world and characters established (which the first movie did) we should look forward to an expansion of story telling (which Rainbow Rocks did. Which is why it is generally considered a better movie than the first). I like your idea, its just as long as they keep it in a highschool setting they are kind of limited. What I think would make for some good story telling opportunities (to me as an adult) would be for them to graduate highschool and follow how they maintain their friendships as their lives take different paths to adulthood when they no longer have the convince of all having to being the same building as each other every day. Like AJ would work on the farm, others would pursue a postsecondary education, Dash and Rarity would pursue fame. How would maintaining friendship fit in? Now that would lend itself to some good story telling, however it might not sell too many toys. Which is why we're not likely to see that from this franchise. Which is why they need to bring Sunset home to Equestria.
