Will you ever become accustomed to Twilight's castle?

[Makazi 317]

I'm saying it does not matter because it's not real. I say it doesn't matter because even the characters don't seem to care anymore, So why I should I care?

 

Since they aren't real, we don't know what's going on in their heads. Chances are they could still be upset about the loss, but they don't show or mention it. However, I'm not one of the characters in the show, I'm a real individual watching the show, and I have my own opinions and emotions. Just because the characters act and feel a certain way doesn't mean I have to; that would be fallacious if I did. I don't laugh when I hear an unfunny joke on a sitcom simply because they put a laugh track over it--no, I have my own responses.

Whatever. You want to go through the energy and time to whine and debate about it, go ahead. Just let me focus my time and energy on the stuff I want to spend it on.

I made the thread because I was stating an opinion and was looking for a discussion on the subject, not because I wanted to start a debate. I'm not saying you have to agree with my opinion, and I'm perfectly fine if people disagree, but to sling epithets around such as 'new low', 'hissy fit', and most recently 'whining' when I was merely supplementing my opinion and the reasons for it, I think that's somewhat unnecessarily hostile. I'm sorry if my thread offended you; it was not my intent.

I'm already accustomed to it really. It's easy for me to get used to new things in shows. I'm less used to losing things in shows, especially when it came to Twilight's Library.

Then why even bother responding to this thread in the first place? If you don't want to waste your time on something then don't put time into it to begin with.

So according to the wiki the castle's official name is: Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle.

 

Sweet Celestia,   it sounds as tacky as it looks. 

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I don't think so. Thus far it pales in comparison to the old library. The staff seem to get this and as a result have minimized its usage in season 5. The concept isn't necessarily bad, but the design of the castle is just awful. It seems like an afterthought, which is strange for such an important setting.

[Celli 4,338]

It will never replace Twilight's library in my opinion, because that hat a really homey look to it, sad to see it gone still, but I'm not going to stop watching the show just because there's a huge gaudy crystal castle in the middle of ponyville. 

Basically, I'm neutral.

[silvadel 1,393]

She upgraded her living arrangement... and toys.

I think that's why they never actually give it a name *In show* XD

 

That being said, I have a feeling the staff would argue night and day to be allowed to give it a different name in show if they were forced to call it something.

[TailsIsNotAlone 3,695]

For the record, I'd rather own a toy set of the old library than that crystal monstrosity. 

 

I'm sure I'll get accustomed to Twilight's castle, yes. But I don't think I'll ever like it much. It looks more like a status symbol than a comfortable place to live.

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

Not sure, but I do know I won't be ever get so used to Twi's castle if we hardly see any of it 

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Twilight’s so called “castle” is like a girl archer with a D-cup. They were both made specifically to appeal to a certain public while disregarding all functionality. Castle is a fort made to defend against intruders, and archer cannot shoot well with two big ones bouncing on her thorax. But I guess you’re right: making a crystal dream treepalace bears no such gender related statements and truly homes in the narrative that young girls want action toys (I’m looking at you Black Widow). At least our archer can cut the right one off like an Amazon, but this giant salt lamp is shit forever. But don’t take this too hard. If you really wanna buy it, I won’t judge. It’s a crystal dream treepalace after all. Who doesn’t want one?

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,354]

I already am, if that counts. See, ever since she became a princess and I became obsessed with that, I have always wanted her to have her own awesome castle and when she did, I felt like a dream came true on that. So not only am I accustomed to the idea, I love it. :3

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

As much as I loved the library, I'm pretty used to the castle now.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I've already been acustomed to it since a little after Twilight's Kingdom.

[Lunar Echo 10,335]

Yes, I liked it the moment I saw her Castle.

[UnknownFry 169]

The castle looks nice, and is appropriate for the character of where she is now in terms of development. So yes.

[Tapfire 92]

Hey, if they find alchemy and turn twilight's castle into an actual tree rather than the current "Princess Castle | Made in Crystal Empire" then I'll be fine with it. But that won't happen until Spike is treated fairly and Half Life 3 comes out, so no, I won't.

 

However, I'll probably wake up tomorrow and not care. So the paragraph above is pointless.

I'm completely fine with it and am used to it already. It's as was stated previously, that FiM is proving itself more and more to be not just a slice of life series, but one with real progress, continuity, and change. I liked Twilight's library home OK and all, but showing her have to grow accustomed to a new home is a relatable subject for anyone, and shows just how far her character has come since she was a student of Celestia's. I actually think the map is a slightly forced, but overall cool twist that opens up lots of potential for new adventure episodes as well as some individual one-on-one character bonding between the friends. And hey, it shows that Ponyville itself is moving up in the world. A simple and quaint town where everypony knows everypony now has its own princess and castle. How cool is that?

[MLPFanatic34 3,234]

I love the castle and really hope more of it is shown for the rest of season 5 and season 6.

[SolyWack 482]

I won't say I wholeheartedly enjoy it, but i'm sure it will grow on me. One of the big reasons i'm okay with it is actually a reason you stated.

 

Twilight's house blew up, and it stayed blown up. In many cartoons, the universe could implode, but next episode, everythings A Ok. Not in MLP. As you said, it is much more advanced, and as long as the writers keep that continuity, I can live with the change in scenery.

[user1342342 143]

I don't know, it sort of looks... out of place. 

 

Doesn't really matter I guess.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I see it the same way, as with the series One Piece, when the straw hats loses their first ship, the flying lamb.

 

It was a very sad episode and i almost cried but after that i was okay again and was happy that they got an even bigger ship.

 

The same with the library, of course its sad that its gone now but sometimes something like this has to happen to give the series more emotions.

Now she has a big castle. Im fine with that 

[TFarrgon 57]

I was like "yeah losing the library was a hard moment" but I think it actually makes the show more dynamic. If EVERYTHING was the same all the time it probably wouldn't be interesting. A big thing for me is for the characters to change and learn and you see that all the time here. This is probably one of the first shows like this that dynamically changes, this is why I stopped watching Spongebob, because he never changes at least 100 episodes in and he is still an idiot. Twilight and the others change all the time as did Twilight's house emphasizing good character and story development.

 

So I for one think this is a good thing, as said in the show, the memories of it will live on and we will miss it, but we will also make new memories with the castle.
