Unlikeable Pony

Recommended Posts

Alright, so lets have a speculation thread about the end of the opener. At the end of the episode there appeared to be a changeling flying towards the empire.

Your thoughts? Important foreshadowing for the season? Random background event the animator snuck in? Bill to accept changeling refugees going too far?
What?

I thought I was just seeing things! At first I thought it was one of the Shadowbolts but that's impossible. Ooooh I'm so excited for the next episode! :pinkie: Hopefully they'll clear that up!!

Honestly, it would make sense if they did a plotline of chrysalis trying to kidnap flurry heart, since that's changelings Superstition M.O: Kidnap a child and leave one of your own kids in its place.

It would also probably act as a nice transition from the "Her being an alicorn must be SUPER important because it makes no sense!" bit from Celestia in this episode, as they might be able to address what Flurry heart's purpose as an alicorn is if they have a two parter be about her being kidnapped.

what makes you think its a changeling?  I mean, it appears to have armor, but I'm unconvinced that it is a changeling wearing it.  

the body is way too blue.

isn't it more likely to be a pegasus?

Okay so maybe a shape-shiftier infiltration story arc like with the Changeling (no relation) plot from StarTrek: Deep Space 9 or any other shape-shifting speices that slowly replaces the population and then strikes when they are fully integrated?

...

Yeah I doubt that, at least as a story arc.

 

Them playing it up like in A Canterlot Wedding again, where they shove what could have been an arc like this into the 44 minute plot, is far more likely.  Oh and since it's Chrysalis's true second return (alternative time lines don't count) I guess it's  time to reform her as well, unless she isn't repentant for the stuff she did and then the Mane 6 can just kill, imprison, banish, and other form of justice for the crimes she committed defeat her, because as we all know it's not your actions that you should be judged by but how you feel after saying what you did was bad. 

 

Honestly at best I feel like this is a loose connection to the finale that's not going to come up at all in the following episode, pretty much like Starswirl's book just showed up at the end of The Cyrstal Empire, then we got 10 other episodes that did nothing with it, and then it shows up at the end to cause all of the finale's problems, because at the end of the day this is not a serialized show, it's episodic with callbacks and sequels but each story is meant to stand on it's own, that's why we got so much exposition in the season 6 premier.

Prove me wrong about this episode airing after I post this comment! 


Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

translucent bug wings? Blue midsection? Horn? Definitely a Changeling, bro.

I want this to happen. And it explains the last minute nerfing of the baby powers, since a Changeling wouldn't be able to do all that crazy baby magic.

It would be dark, if Flurry Heart was kidnapped for months and the ponies just notice in the finale. Would not like that.

 

Also, another two parter in the Crystal Empire? Sheesh, why don't they just declare it as the new capitol of Equestria and promote SA and Cadance as the real rulers of the country? :P

Oh I really hope Queen Chrysalis returns. She one of my favorite characters and villians. I'm not sure what exactly they'd do, but as long as it's good, I won't complain!

I hope this is actually leading up to something like Starlight's cameos in season 5 did.

Seeing the return of Queen Chrysalis and the changelings is something that I would like to see happen this season.

It could make for a pretty cool finale.

Well, with how things in FiM tend to go, it could be a LOT, or it could mean absolutely nothing. While Starswirl's book is a great example how it can lead to big things, I remember a few thinks from season four like Fluttershy's bat fangs and the Pony of Shadows at the end of their respective episodes that lead to nothing.

 

Not saying one thing or another, but it's better to keep these things in perspective and not get too excited about them.

I'd definitely want to see a return of Chrysalis,

 

I'd love for her to team up with Sombra to attack the crystal empire.

 

(I'm aware that the comics did something similar.)

I shall put on my tinfoil tricorne and analyze this like it was made by Alex Hirsch himself!

 

I compared this one with Chrysalis being expunged by love at the end of Canterlot Wedding. This smudge is a bit bulky around the thorax, the color scheme is off (green hair and tail aren’t showing while there is green where belly and head should be), and the shape of the head seems to be quite long, facing downwards, and it is situated on a comparatively short neck. Also, the whole body seems to be huge: look at the thing and compare it to the windows in the crystal citadel (those windows tend to be at least four ponies high). The two traits that speak for the changeling theory are the hind legs and two semi-transparent back protrusions that look like wings.

 

The most logical answer is that this is indeed a changeling of sorts. We’ve already seen them, they are connected to Cadence and the whole love thing, and the fandom is positively inclined towards the return of Queen Chrysalis. Plus Chryssy has those fancy wheels now: wroom, wroom, buy our toys!

 

Me, I have an unsubstantiated hunch that this beastie is connected to the arctic weather phenomenon. I still know nothing though.

 

Anyway, we all need to channel our inner Jace and get all the clues! Jacetice League assemble!

 

First clue: the same scene is featured in the third MLP commercial for no apparent reason. Coincidence, or Hay Life 3?

I think it's a possibility that it's foreshadowing the return of the changelings.

You know, I could see them doing a crappy Sunburst/Starlight plot to give starlight something she excels at for an EOH; Have chrysalis try and tempt sunburst to help her kidnap Flurry heart by promising him some way to actually be able to do magic (artifact like the alicorn amulet, Magical changeling thing, whatever), get sunburst to give in to his insecurities, help her with the baby, ect.

Then have starlight end up forgiving Sunburst near the climax to hammer home something like forgiveness for her, bam, two parter that makes Starlight an EOH, basically a redux of them giving sunset an Element of empathy at the end of FG.

Definitely could be a subtle hint at the return of the Changelings, most likely in the season 6 finale. I wasn't even aware of this at all in the premiere, so it has opened up tons of possibilities. 

 

 

Chrysalis is gonna kidnap Flurry Heart as revenge against Cadence

 

It's the perfect setup for such a premise

This is the one that makes the most sense to me. Chrysalis most likely hates most of the ponies, but I have a feeling that she has a special sort of hatred for Cadence, especially with her now ruling the Crystal Empire. This would be a very, VERY devious plan to get revenge.

Luxray used Fly!

Lol. But nah. It's bacl legs are black, too, unlike Luxray's. Only eyes and midsection are blue

 

Definitely a Changeling

I wouldn't hold my breath, because i can already hear the people scream in dissapointment by the end of the season.

 

It can be that, sure. But knowing how the writers and animators tick sometimes, it could just be one of them saying: "Hey look guys, we did a thing you like. Isn't that cool?"

 

i would be cautious guys. Do it like me and just expect nothing. ;)

Please, don't be afraid to talk to me. I am not as unapproachable, as you might think.

Huh, I thought it was a meteorite or some doom cloud at first. I do like the idea of changelings returning though! Then again, it could just be a small easter egg. We'll have to wait and see. :derp:
