  1. I'll just say that fellow Bronies who are more interested in geography than me should have a field day with this episode: In the song, the CMC say that Babs was from the East. Babs is also from Manehattan. Therefore, Manehattan is east of Ponyville.
  2. Troll Last Episode: The Mane Six are going about their day until a GIANT FIST APPEARS. The Giant Fist murders several helpless Homo Sapiens until the Mane Six get the Elements of Harmony from Bob's Grandma's house. But then, as a twist, the Giant Fist turns into THIS GUY: Then they have an epic dance off before the world is saved because of butt. The End. Real Last Episode
  3. Over analysis Time! What if the Pinkie Pie that was left was not the original Pinkie Pie but rather the FIRST COPY? The First Copy is far more developed than the other copies and it could have been that when it was between the two Pinkie Pies, Rainbow Dash accidentally broke the original Pinkie Pie's concentration. The Dear Princess Celestia part could have also been done by the First Copy easily given that one conversation with a random pony can inform the First Copy of Princess Celestia and they would be none the wiser since it's Pinkie Pie. Or what about murdering the Pinkie Pies? Twilight Sparkle basically strips the fake Pinkie Pie into their "soul" and banishes them back to the pond. So are they stuck there forever? Since Tom sealed the exit, those Pinkie Pies will either continue replicating or be stuck inside the Mirror Pond FOREVER.
  4. 1. Twilight Sparkle: I just relate to her the best. The constant studying and organization. Not to mention the stress from studying. She's just an interesting character because I know her character because I AM her character. Also, I'm not very street smart. I'm stuck in the '20s-'70s. Twilight Sparkle in Season 1 was stuck in the Canterlot/sheltered mindset. 2. Fluttershy: Just the nice girl character of the series. I generally like the Fluttershy character unless they're over the top. Fluttershy is the embodiment of those shy, reserved characters. I liked Hinata in Naruto so I naturally like Fluttershy. 3. Rainbow Dash: The reason she's in the midpoint is that she's a bit of a jerk and she's overrated. But nonetheless, Rainbow Dash is a great character and one that has the jock/aspiring personality. She's annoying but you can also sympathize with her. 4. Pinkie Pie: I do like Pinkie Pie, I really do. She's actually tied for the #3 position. But the reason she's lower on the list is because I prefer the studious character to the party one. Just a personal preference. But she's a great character nonetheless. 5. Applejack: Just a one things: No song (I know, not a fault of the character). But seriously, I can see why people would like AJ but I much prefer other ponies just because of the fact that Applejack is too rustic. Boring, no. Rustic and down to earth, yes. While some might see that as positive, AJ seems too down to earth for me. 6. Rarity: I don't think Rarity is a bad character. I don't think any of the Mane 6 are bad. But Rarity being last is simply because of that male-female thing. I don't like fashion. Never have, never will. Rarity does have her funny moments and she is a likeable character if you have a different mindset of me but to me, she relates nearly none at all to me or anyone I know and LIKE.
  5. She was busy eating Jaffa Cakes on the surface of the Sun while Nightmare Moon began to get ready for her reign in Equestria. You know, like every monarch, dictator, or President in the real world does. Runs to a place where they're welcome.
  6. The same way a warrior would be able to stand it when he's next to a stealthy rogue and powerful wizard. Earth Ponies fill in a very important social class: Agriculture. So what if a Unicorn can use spells? Given what we've seen so far, only special ponies like Twilight Sparkle can cast a variety of different spells. Earth Ponies are needed for agriculture and I've yet to see an agricultural Unicorn. So what if Pegasi can control the weather and fly? They'll be too busy eating their own wings to do any of that without Earth Ponies.
  7. So far, to my knowledge, there are only two military organizations in Equestria. The Royal Guard, who proved to be inefficient during the Canterlot Wedding, and the Wonderbolts, who can barely be qualified as a military organization. The former though, they do have spears and magic so I guess they could repel lesser invaders. But none of that matters because the rulers of Equestria control the sun and moon. If the invaders attack Equestria, Celestia and Luna can just rig the night and day cycles to benefit them and screw the enemy. You'd need a force like China to invade Equestria successfully. Even then, they have the Elements of Harmony, that can solve EVERYTHING.
  8. Applejack. Because she's a FARMER. Farmers always wake up before everyone else. At least from my experience.
  9. Well, according to the word of Cereal Velocity, 1000 bits is $1,499,499.99. Using simple math, it's easy to calculate that one bit is $1,499.50. Rounded up. Whether this is proof of hyperinflation considering that a single apple would cost about $3000 or proof that technicolor ponies can run the economy better than humans is your opinion.
  10. I don't hate Celestia. I merely kind of dislike some of her actions. Nightmare Moon being banished? Yeah, I get that. There's no way around it. I remember hearing that even the Word of Faust saying that if it was Nighttime Eternal, then Equestria would freeze over for good. With nighttime eternal, Equestria would begin to look like Pluto. What I don't like: Celestia did nothing to help the Mane 6 with Discord. I understand if she couldn't take out Discord but at least hold down the fort properly and offer some kind of support during the maze part. Or Chrysalis for that matter!
  11. "Capitalism is an economic system that is based on private ownership of the means of production and the creation of goods or services for profit. Competitive markets, wage labor, capital accumulation, voluntary exchange, and personal finance are also considered capitalistic." Private Ownership - Every shop in Ponyville Production - Sweet Apple Acres, Sugarcube Corner, Carousel Boutique, etc. Profit - Bits Competitive Markets - Flim Flam Brothers Wage Labor - Doesn't Pinkie Pie work for the Cakes and get paid? Capital Accumulation - Filthy Rich Voluntary Exchange - Fluttershy & the Cherry Salesman Personal Finance - ??? Have we ever seen a bank in the MLP Universe? Having a few government subsidized industries does not make a nation socialist or not capitalist. There are nations with universal healthcare and such that are very capitalist. In the real world, capitalist nations like South Korea or Japan have government healthcare and they are government regulated. Certain base needs are covered by most governments, just not the U.S. Equestria is no exception. If we're speaking of the base needs of food, clothing, and shelter, then two of the three are already covered. Applejack sells her apples and Rarity sells her dresses. If you're talking about laissez-faire capitalism, a very far right wing capitalism, then your point is valid. But I'm not saying Equestria follows that form of capitalism.
  12. Well that is capitalism. It's a very social type of capitalism but just because Equestria has Universal Healthcare doesn't mean that they aren't capitalist. Many capitalist nations like Japan and Korea have universal healthcare. But you can see a very capitalist market as seen in the assertive Fluttershy episode's beginning. For example, the cherry salesman who charges ridiculous amounts for a single cherry because Fluttershy offered up a demand for the last remaining cherry. In your examples of Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight, it's simple. Fluttershy probably sells chicken eggs and I assume she may grow her own food. Rainbow Dash, in the first episode, was part of the weather team, right? That's probably where she gets her money. And Twilight Sparkle is a librarian AND Princess Celestia's apprentice. The latter probably covers for all of her living costs.
  13. Alright, Celestia is a benevolent monarch with absolute power (I don't see a parliament...). Considering her rule is marked with little poverty (at least in the cities we've seen) and no ponies suffering because of Celestia, she basically destroys the two problems with an absolute monarchy: The child taking over and being a total dick (Nero) and restriction of civil rights (Hitler). However, I don't get why you put communist because it's pretty obvious that Equestria is a capitalist nation. For example, Applejack having a business mindset or Filthy Rich in general.
  14. Change the eyes and we're good. Seriously, the eyes are scary after I read creepypasta or play a nice, calming game of Slender.
  15. What if the General Secretary of the U.N was a brony? Wouldn't that mean we successfully took over the world?
  16. Applejack went on to become the #1 seller of apples in all of Equestria. Her monopoly over the apple trade had made the Apple family the richest family in Equestria. However, Applejack died due to cyanide poisoning from her beloved apples. Her death caused an economic meltdown in Equestria and surrounding regions. Rainbow Dash went on to become a member of the Wonderbolts! Her name was in big letters all throughout Equestria! However, Rainbow Dash died when she accidentally Sonic Rainboomed a Griffon embassy. It was seen as a strike on the Griffon Kingdom and they retaliated, plunging Equestria in a brutal war. Fluttershy continued her veterinary care of animals and got better and better at it. She was known all across Equestria proper as somepony who could save even the most grievously injured animal. However, Fluttershy, along with 30% of all life on the planet, died when she saved the life of a Black Plague infected mouse by giving it CPR. Rarity fulfilled her dream of being the Canterlot upper class. She was the #1 fashion designer in all of Canterlot and lived the high life. That is, until her along with all of the wealthy upper class were blamed for the financial meltdown. Occupy Canterlot occurred and she fled. Some say she went to Haywaii. Some say she simply moved underground. Some say that these speculations are stupid. Pinkie Pie went on to plan for the Grand Galloping Gala. Her entire future was set as the Royal Princesses entrusted her to make the Gala the most fun event ever. Pinkie had succeeded. But the Gala the night before the Griffon-Pony war was trashed and bombed. Nobody ever found Pinkie's body. Some say she went insane. Others say that she left for another dimension. I say: She's right behind you. Twilight Sparkle went on to become the greatest scientist and researcher in all of Equestria. She also served as the Prime Minister of Equestria for a time before she became sick of the politics and left. But as her friends brought the downfall of Equestria, Twilight became increasingly more and more distraught. So, as Equestria crumbles, Twilight used an advanced time travel spell to travel back in time before Nightmare Moon's return to relive the happiest days of her life. Over...and over...and over again.

There MUST be winners and losers like in real life - Pro-Choice - PC is the best gaming console
  18. Twilight Sparkle: Unified Korea. Studious, very open minded, and has that thing about her that makes her seem unified. Maybe it's just the Element of Magic. Rainbow Dash: America. Arrogant, cocky, brash. Thinks she's good at everything. But she has her limits so I'm making it 1970s America where we got our flanks kicked by Vietnam so we know our limits. Applejack: Russia. Why? Because she's Rainbow Dash's rival and really focused on winning, even to a fault (Soviet Russia's fail in creating an SDI, Applejack's shame in not being #1 in the Rodeo). Fluttershy: Switzerland. She doesn't like conflict. But she can still hold her own if push comes to shove. Rarity: Everypony knows that Rarity would be France or Great Britain. Fancy, has a concept of the Royal Class, etc. Pinkie Pie: ...
  19. This is a very comprehensive guide to the astronomy of Equestria. AND WHAT?! 2088? Or 2880?! So are you telling me that we're so backwards that we can't even detect a planet that can detect us?
  20. War is one of the songs that I like a bit less than average to be honest. The one I linked, Passion Colors Everything, is one of my favorites.
  21. I listen to Poets of the Fall. This is probably the greatest band on the planet that actually has substance rather than Justin freakin' Beiber or LMFAO.
  22. Fluttershy should have an older brother that's a bit like this: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WellIntentionedExtremist Somepony who's very strong willed, means well, but is a bit of a jerk. A good contrast to Fluttershy while keeping the same principle of Fluttershy. A caring pony who does whatever it takes to help the down trodden, even if it means using unorthodox means.
  23. I doubt it Pinkie Pie will go into permanent psychosis. She's young right now and reflects that youthful exuberance and the inability to control emotions. Unless Discord goomba stomps one of the Mane Six five seconds from now, we won't see Pinkie Pie becoming crazy but rather, depressed, regressing into her state before the Sonic Rainboom.
  24. I want Applejack breakdown! Applejack is on the lower half of my Mane Six list not because I have anything against her but because she hasn't had the time to develop very much. She's only had three episodes and the last one (the one with Derpy) was overshadowed by...Derpy. The Super Cider Squeezy one also wasn't very Applejack centric. It was more of a whole Apple Family episode. Only one: Applebuck Season, really had Applejack as the star. I know the one with Derpy was an Applejack centric episode...but personally, I see it as a repeat of Applebuck Season's character development with some meat. A mental breakdown reveals the darker side of characters and it's great! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or...CMC mental breakdown?
  25. If Twilight Sparkle kissed me? Firstly, I'd faint. When I wake up, I'd probably start questioning whether or not spending all night watching pony videos was a good idea or not. Then, at one point, I'd say, "But you're a technicolor pony and you can speak. It's not scientifically possible, YOU ARE NOT SCIENTIFICALLY POSSIBLE." At which point I'd wear a troll face mask and start a severe make out session.
