 No. The tree of harmony doesn't really have anything with Yggdrasil (both are trees, but that's about it). 

 

My theory is that the tree was created by what ever deity that exists in that world.

 

my theory is that the tree is almost EXACTLY like yggdrasil. my theory is that the tree is connected to all life in equestria and is simultaneously in every alternate universe in the mlp multiverse. the tree of harmony is not inherently good but instead reflects the balance of power in the multiverse, this means that since there is peace and harmony right now the tree is full of good magic and helps the mane 6, but if the balance was shifted and evil and chaos outweighed goodness and friendship, the tree would turn into a tree of disharmony or more simply put chaos. nif this theory is true then the tree of harmony is connected to all alternate realities, just like yggdrasil is connected to the nine realms.

ten! the colors are nice.

 NOW LOOK UPON MY SIGNATURE IN ITS GLORIOUS MAJESTY!

the mane 6 going into tartarus to fight an ancient evil would be awesome. also I wanna see some new magic, not just lasers and force fields.and I really hope starlight is not a main character.

twilight is the element of magic! she is supposed to have more magical potential than anypony ever! I agree that she isn't as powerful as celestia yet, but that doesn't mean some unicorn should be able to fight her to a draw.

I think the reason starlight was so strong was either (A) magical steroids learned from some of starswirls other spells, or ( starlights special talent is equalization, as such she can dampen the magic of those she is fighting to a certain degree. this would mean that twilight is stronger in the ways of magic, but starlight was able to dampen her magic enough to make them equal.

my theory is that the tree of harmony is influenced by all life, and if the balance of good and evil was shifted the tree could be destroyed or turn into a tree of disharmony. i also have another theory that the alternate timelines in the cutie remark are now alternate universes. if both these theories are true, that would mean that the tree is in trouble, because the tree of harmony exists simultaneously in every universe as seen in the cutie remark, and is thus effected by all new universes created in the finale! since there were only 2 universes before the season 5 finale, and each one was peaceful, the tree was safe and all was well, but now there are more chaotic universes than there are harmonic universes in the mlp multiverse which leads me to the conclusion that the balance of harmony has been broken and all of tartarus is about to break loose! it may take awhile, but eventually the tree will be destroyed or become the tree of disharmony! if the mane 6 cannot save the day, the mlp multiverse is doomed!

 according to my theory.

the tree of harmony is like Yggdrasil the world tree.

i cant wait for season 6! here are some things i hope happen

1 starswirl makes appearance

2 new eastern equestria magic

3 truly evil villain

things i don't want to happen

1 don't show starlight being as powerful as twilight.

2 don't shove starlight down our throats every episode

hello fellow Christian! these forums are great and I hope you make lots of friends. theres even a big Christian thread to check out. now look upon this gif/meme in awe and wonderment!

as many of us know there are only 2 more infinity stones left to be seen in the mcu. this thread is for people to debate where the last 2 are.

here are theories of where the gems are.

1: the soul gem is with heimdall

2: the soul gem will be the eye of agamotto

3: mjolnir is powered by the soul stone

4: the time stone will be in dr strange

5: the time stone will be used by the celestials to start ragnarok

have fun debating!

would you wanna see twilight sparkle go bad, just for a little bit. it could be something like thishttp://www.comicvine.com/the-reigning/4045-57105/

there are other links there. please post thoughts

yes but he cares more for his friends then himself while a narcissist cares about himself above all else.  

you know rainbow das is a girl right?

I wouldn't say an unborn baby could beat her. a unborn baby couldn't lift the sun. celestia should get more screen time in my oppinion

this is what I hope happens in season 6. there is no inside knowledge on what will happen as I have no connections in Hasbro or anything. its just my idea.

FIRST TWO EPISODES.

starlight and twily go to the place where starlight found starswirls time spell and a bunch of other spells. upon arriving they see a huge portal ripping apart time and space. twilight and starlight close the portal but not before starswirl leaps out and teleports away.

the mane six and starlight glimmer try to reason with starswirl, but he is completely insane and cant be reasoned with, he then starts laying waste to ponyville. the mane 6 decide to use the rainbow power to defeat him, but for the first time ever it fails! starswirl uses a shield of powerful dark magic to block the blast then starts slowly disintegrating the mane 5 and starlight. in anger twilight suddenly powers up and channels a huge surge of magic through her, knocking out starswirl and saving the mane 6. before twilight disintegrates starswirl, princess celestia steps in and stops her from killing him. celestia then takes starswirl to canterlot to mend his fractured mind.

twilight then goes back to the cave and finds a hidden library full of old forbidden magic. she seals it and leaves.

SHOWS UP TO MID SEASON

we see that twilight has become more powerful after her fight with starswirl and we see some more slice of life episodes, friendship problems being solved and the like.twilight teaches starlight the magic of friendship, and they both work together on figuring out what happened with the rainbow power.

 twilight consults with starswirl who has been healed somewhat by celestia though he still cant remember where he was before he appeared in ponyville ,on what he thinks about the rainbow power. starswirl says he knows not what to do about the rainbow power, but that perhaps twilight should study other magic. starswirl tells twilight that she defeated him when she was enraged and perhaps she should study this more. twilight, who has been thinking the same thing, returns to starswirls cave and enters the secret library.

SECOND HALF OF SEASON SHOWS

more slice of life episodes and starlight glimmer and starswirl the bearded become friends. the mane 5 start to notice that twily isn't herself lately, though its mostly little things, like being overly organized and studying more than usual. one day twilight is late for her training with starlight.starlight over reacts and tracks her down finding twilight in the library doing a dark magical ritual. starlight teleports them both out and tells her to stay away from such books. twilight agrees but continues to go anyways.

SHOW RIGHT BEFORE THE FINALE

twilight tells princess celestia that the only way to fix the tree of harmony and the rainbow power is to make all disharmony, and evil creatures disappear with a spell she learned. celestia tells twilight that she will not allow it, that it is evil to take away peoples free will and that it is not true friendship.

twilight sets out to use the spell but celestia, cadence, luna and discord stand against her. celestia tells twilight there is no way she can win and that she is outnumbered, but twilight just laughs and shows them her true power. while in the library twilight had been harnessing untold amounts of dark magic and infusing it into herself. with this new power, twilight defeats the princesses and discord in a battle that shakes the very roots of equestrian, she then binds them in tartarus and wipes the memory of the battle from everyones minds except for starlight, starswirl and the mane 5 who were protected by starlight.

SHOW FINALE

equestria is now ruled by twilight, and all unhappy, angry or sad thoughts are gone, the only person whos free will twilight didn't try to take was spike, who rules as prince of equestria.

one day while spike is riding around equestria overseeing his kindom, he is kidnapped by starlight glimmer and the mane 5. spike is scared, believing, like everyone else, that starlight glimmer and the mane 5 are traitors to equestria. but after hearing there story of how twilight forcefully conquered equestria and that everyones memories and free will was taken, spike isn't sure what to believe. starlight gives spike memories of how twilight was before she ruled and then spike is released.

spike watches twilight and comes to the conclusion that starlight and the mane 5 are right because friendship no longer matters to twilight. spike sneaks starlight and the mane 5 into queen twilights castle then the battle begins. twilight easily defeats there feeble attemptys to harm her and imprisons the six of them in tartarus. spike pleads with twilight to free them but twilight whirls on him in a rage. twilight screams at spike, saying she trusted him, then she takes his free will. realizing what she did twilight weeps and cries, finally seeing the error of her ways.

twilight unbinds the evil magic from her which turns out to be alive. though it cannot speak it attacks her, but without a host twilight defeats it. realizing the solution to the rainbow problem, with the last of her power twilight travels back in time and seperates twilight from the dark magic before she can defeat the princesses and discord. queen twilight instructs twilight never to use dark magic again and then leaves.

twilight later realizes that the source of the problems cannot be fixed as the problem comes from the alternate universes created in her battle with starlight. the map stretches acrossed time and space, even other universes, and since more universe were full of disharmony than harmony the trees power had faded. twilight calls everyone that there is no way to stop it now, they must simply wait to see what happens next!

plz post thoughts. thank you

i like to think that starlight used some of starswirls other spells to make her stronger. if thats the case then im totally fne with it, but if they continue to be portrayed as equals I will not be happy!

I hope we get a epic trilogy of MLP FIM movies. each one could have its own villain but they would be working for something else. then in the third movie they would have to take down the big villasin whose been manipulating everything, kinda like avengers and the infinity war movies.

More world-building. I wanna get more information about dragons and zebras.

indeed, i wanna have them dig deeper into the world and also the mythology. more info on dragons would be great

Ah that is a interesting history. The problem is people have a problem with Christmas being a pagan celebration. See here is the thing. Back then the clever ways to make pagans go over to Christianity... well in this case Christianize some pagan stuff like Christmas. Saying its to celebrate Jesus' birth. BOOM!!! Converts!

 

So its not like you worship Christmas or anything, its just a nice tradition. Same way with easter eggs and chicken.

 

I haven't read poetic edda but i've heard they are interesting. I have read about Norse mythology though ^^

i cant remember where it is in the bible, probably proverbs, but it actually talks about ornamenting the tree and how it was sinful of the Israelites to do so. also have you ever read Beowulf? it actually talks a lot about the bible in it.

Well i am boring myself with audiobooks on all deuteronomical books i can think of. I am done with catholic and regular Orthodox books. Currently on Orthodox Ethiopian tradition of deuteronomical books. Although i don't think it was needed to listen to "The Book of Jubilees", since its more or less a recap of the stuff in the old testament for some certain events. But i'll do it anyways. Its like 5 hours i think. After that its enoch. I don't know if there are audiobooks of enoch 2 and 3 (Although i've heard book of enoch has been somewhat controversial in Christianity. Which is why it was said to not be included in the bible. Although i am not sure what it is but i will read it. It probably is little i bet.) I basically only have these stuff left. And then i am done.

I just read the book of enoch and it was great. I hope you learn from it and enjoy it as much as I did. I don't celebrate Christmas as I believe its a pagan holiday, so ill probably read the poetic eddas.

VIOLENCE IS MAGIC!!! not really but I wouldn't mind more fight scenes.

start learning my magical abilities to become a superhero!

who hear wants to see a tree of disharmony? it could be in the underworld and have its own evil version of the mane 6. please post thoughts.

unicorns are usually the smart ones.

If what we saw in Cutie Remark was what war would look in Equestria(or in Over A Barrel), then I'd rather not see them try to make a war again

In FiM war looks really dumb, in both Over A Barrel and Cutie Remark it pretty much looked like this

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eD9G9VIy78k

rainbow dash lost a wing so im pretty sure its violent, the slapping was put in to be funny but the war was obviously a big deal considering all of equestria was pitching in to help.

I have tp disagree. I believe Twilight is potentially the most powerful Alicorn but she's yet to tap into her "raw power'. Celestial chose her because she could sense...and she took a sneak peak... at Twilight's potential power. I will think it's just locked away.. where she must depend on friendship magic and the "alicorn magic booster" whenever she is against danger.

 

*shrugs* just my theory

 

Also....I would not call her useless compared to the other alicorns. She solved and did just as much as they have if not more regardless if she had help or not.

this is exactly what I think and if I am correct the show specifically says this. also I think starlight augmented herself with some of starswirls other magic spells to become powerful enough to fight twilight. I don't know why there couldn't have been other spells lying around with that time spell.

It's hard to make that assumption since all of Equestria (from what I've seen) does not use technology.  As far as using magic, that could be up for discussion.  But then again, all of Pinkie's family that we've seen is made up of Earth ponies.  However that is also true for Applejack's family.  Maybe it's a correlation of working on a farm and being an Earth pony?  

 

I don't really know if Pinkies parents are Amish or not.  They might be, if Equestria has any kind of religion and different establishment of what makes Amish ponies Amish.

actually technology is used and is highly advanced as in one episode we see a earth pony called dr whooves create a time machine without magic. also tractors and cars are in use by certain ponies. id say that technology is probably used by rich earth ponies mostly which is why you don't see it in the shows much.
