Think big macintosh might wish he were a unicorn?


Unlikeable Pony

Recommended Posts

Anyways, looking at the episode, Dungeons and discord, Big macintosh's character is a unicorn; in addition to this, during his dream he pictured himself being a unicorn (at first before becoming an alicorn).

 

 

Do you think its possible that big macintosh has some slight desires to be a unicorn?

He seems pretty satisfied about being an earth pony but I don't really know what he's thinking with that calm happy look in his eyes. But if I asked him if he ever had any desires, he'd probably say "eeyup."

Hi, I slightly edited the topic title by moving the (spoiler discussion inside) part to the end. It just makes it easier to see what the actual topic is, especially on the main page which only shows some of the topic title.

Actually, yeah, I think he would want to be a unicorn. Unicorns are the only race that can earn an Alicorn title. (Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?) (Seriously, have you ever seen a pegasus or earth pony become an alicorn?) 

well I READ a pegasi becoming one with cadence...

Apparently Cadence was a pegasus before becoming an Alicorn according to her book.

 

Also, I think Mac's dreams of being a unicorn stem more from the fact that magic makes doing manual labour alot easier XD

Really? Which book? I actually haven't read any of them (with the exception of Elements of Harmony).

The crystal heart spell.

 

Pretty terrible explanation for her alicornhood honestly, to the point its sometimes joked that she got her alicornhood for hugging someone really hard.

Probably yes. In episode about dream walking we can see that he sees dream that he's unicorn.

 

Even if it isn't his biggest dream he defenitely think about it from time to time.

 

Aslo notable that when he knew that he can do what he wants in that dream he became alicorn.

WHAT? I was expecting a book like "Journal of the Two Sisters" or something. That threw me off; I guess I'll have to go check the book stores now.

I say the whole "Wishes to be a Unicorn" aspect may be just a part of an even greater picture for Big Macintosh's desires. I'd say that his main goal is to become a hero like Applejack as he himself stated at the end of Brotherhooves Social. Becoming a unicorn and using magic would be a tool to use in the fight against evil. Although he's forgetting that his massive frame and superior strength alone would plow right through enemies like a bowling ball through pins. 

 

What I'm saying is that Big Macintosh's wish to be a unicorn and use magic could be only a portion of his desires to have a moment of heroism that his sister usually gets.

I have actually thought about this for a long time actually. I think he would really like to be a unicorn and role playing games, just like how they are, is a way for him or anyone to be something they are not. 

 

I also think he wants to be a female so he could become a Alicorn Princess. His past cross dressing stuff in the past has made me think this.

im not sure if anyone else thinks this far into things...

but i think Big Mac is sorta another aligory for the shy, showing that even though they dont speak much, they do however have dreams and asperations that we dont know about... and as for him wanting to be a unicorn, or alicorn, that could be a nod to the broniedom, sorta...

 Its a joke :P

Its a meme of someone asking where kids come from in a poorly written, mispelled way.

 

Until Cadence had a child, there was no such thing as an Alicorn baby. She is an oddity that shouldn't exist. Alicorns come from Unicorns who possess some special natural power chosen by destiny etc.

This makes me question the limit to Discord's power. If he can turn Big Mac into an unicorn with all the magic associated with it, couldn't he just leave Big Mac as an unicorn forever? Then... Discord could do that to other ponies that want to be something else or get something and that's why I always thought the character of Discord was too overpowered.
