Bunni 1,075 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) When watching the first part of "Royal Wedding" I noticed that in Twilight's flashback, Cadence's horn was glowing blue whenever she performed magic. But that is was glowing green whenever Queen Chrysalis performed magic while being disguised as Cadence. That slightly gave it away that she was an imposter. Not that I have anything against it. Anyone else noticed that? Edited April 22, 2012 by TheBrokenToast 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Whooves™ 331 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hey, cartoons always do this kinda stuff, and I must admit, this was a pretty subtle give away and once again must compliment the mlp staff for making this show a whole lot more intresting. I mean, better than the classic glowing red eyes, right? 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, better than the classic glowing red eyes, right? I agree. Cartoons and video games always put these things in as a little 'easter egg' to show that she is an imposter.

MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm just glad that the creators actually took time to make little 'details' like this. But alas!- I didn't notice this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunni 1,075 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) I love the little giveaways as well. Yet Queen Chrysalis caught me by surprise! Simply loved the twists in the episodes~ Edited April 22, 2012 by TheBrokenToast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomokoKuroki 1,707 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 She caught me by surprise too. I didn't see the transformation coming out like that haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Whooves™ 331 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I hate it when they make it too easy, but the creators of mlp never cease to amaze me. They always let you try find it for yourself, but never make it easy. That's one of the reasons I have higher regard of this show rather than others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshade 1,425 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes there are little clues such as this throughout the series, one other example that comes to mind is where in Sisterhooves Social the "Applejack" in the races has blue eyes, which is a very very subtle giveaway (I noticed in a rewatch). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadefire 2,796 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I noticed that too. When I saw it in the synchtube chat, I joked that the fake Cadence was actually one of the Flim Flam Brothers in disguise. It seems acid-green magic is a sign that somepony is evil Or at least is a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges

Pencil J. Doodle 242 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I actually think that green suits her. That blue just seems a bit... meh... for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald Flame 380 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I didn't notice her horn glowing during the flashback, but when I saw the green glow I thought it was a good indicator that she was an imposter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came in to say this by Whiteshade beat me to it I think (real) Cadence's glow should have been pink or lavender to go with her color scheme.

SonicMagicBoom 1 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Up until Part 2 I just thought Cadence became a jerk. However, I was expecting some sort of transformation when Cadence told Twilight in the cave that fake Cadence was an impostor. Stuff like a cutie mark couldn't have have been faked so easily.

Champion RD92 8,643 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I just figured she was a b****, I didn't actually think she was an imposter lol. i didn't notice her horn glowed a different color, that's actually really clever of the animators.

Akemi Homura 7,679 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Impostors aside, was there any indication in the show that a unicorn's/alicorn's horn glows different colors as he/she gets older OR develops their magic? That being said, I didn't notice young Cadence's horn glowing blue instead of the green we saw in the Impostor. Then again I don't usually catch these as I'm more focused on the plot itself rather than small details (although, I end up taking the small details and try to come up with theories based on them ).

Ezynell 2,034 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nice catch! I didn't notice that! Also, I'm surprised nopony has brohoofed you for that yet *brohoofs* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony Joe 582 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nice find! I actually did find it rather odd that her magic didn't match her color scheme, but didn't really make anything of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice find! I actually did find it rather odd that her magic didn't match her color scheme, but didn't really make anything of it. Her blue glow matches her cutie mark... that blue heart gem. I thought it went well with her color scheme, considering blue is really pretty with all those shades of purple/pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kreen 2 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I noticed that, too! I just finished watching the episodes about an hour ago and was coming here to post about that, but it looks like I'm not the only one who noticed. best part is, I noticed BEFORE finishing the episode and I was all "wait a second, wasn't her magic blue? I smell something fishy..." I love it when they pay attention to details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
