ManaMinori 4,145 December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 (edited) Been wondering for some time now, but back in the Pinkie sense episode, we were shown through Twilight's extreme case of explosive energies and frustration the example of spontaneous pony combustion. Twilight's purple coat became a white/ cream color, and her hair turned to literal flames. This is again seen in IDW's FiM comic #20, where Sunbutt becomes so enraged that she too has her mane flare up and ignite. So what's the dealio? Is Spontaneous combustion a normal occurrence when a pony's maximum rage or frustration is unleashed? Does this only occur in Sunbutt's stronger students, due to their ties to her and, or the element of magic? Since this has only been seen in the case of Sunbutt and Twilight, could we assume that it's something to signify familial rite or relationship? Or something like a naturally occurring super sayain pony form, without the element/ tree of harmony's involvement?

Gestum 2,493 December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 I would say that it's just a visual joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frith is Magick 1,471 December 10, 2015 Share December 10, 2015 (edited) Both Ponies shown are powerful magic users, and as we've seen, magic is only mostly under a Pony's conscious control. While this is just a cartoon thing, a Pony universe explanation may be that the extreme emotion (rage) leads to a build up of magical energy, and without an outlet it causes a brief outburst of intense flames.

sweetolebob18 728 December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 The old Warner Brothers cartoon characters (Bugs Bunny etc) used to do that occassionally. Pinkie is by far the most Loony Tune of the MLP characters but the others have their moments & that was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty 249 December 13, 2015 Share December 13, 2015 but FiM is the land of going AGAINST the status quo Unfortunately, i'm not so sure about this anymore. BigMac pulls a house, Bulk Biceps himself and some other things. Also, don't forget the little filly, who lifted a hut with one single hoof. Come on, that's just silly lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
