spoiler Possible season 8 leak? Real or Fake?

[Drunkfrank 1,125]

Remember when all the S7 titles and synopsis were being leaked, some were accurate but then there was Triple Threat: Chrysalis frees Tirek and Sombra

Didn't happen.

I don't buy this. It is the same person who said season 9 will be the last season.

[Varrack 1,080]

Trapped in Tartarus. Yeah that sounds pretty unoriginal. Almost as if it it was totally made up...

This season there has been a lot of leaks but, I highly doubt that the season 8 finale has even been written yet, leading me to believe that this synopsis for the season 8 finale to be false.   

Not only that, the School of Friendship isn't even MENTIONED in Shadow Play, part 2.

The School of Friendship has been speculated due to some toy sets

[Odd Ball 231]

I’m kinda hoping it’s real.

Truth is, no one knows for sure if it's real. Remember, things originally planned are always subject to change.

Not at this juncture. Season 8 has already had voice work done. A lot of season 8 is in the can. Not all because later episodes are almost certainly not boarded and and early episodes are likely still being animated ... but story and voice acting sure is. 

 

Anyway, the only confirmed element of this leak is that we know Tartarus will feature somewhat in the season. It was literally the first visual element they showed in a Coming Soon promo image. Add to that that Tirek was outed as appearing ... it's safe to say Tartarus will be featured.

Well, I hope the Crusaders won't be in THAT episode.

Other than what's already confirmed, it is highly unlikely it is true. The synospis you give seems quite made up too. Whatever the School of Friendship is hasn't been mentioned before, and I don't think the CMC are old enough to be able to do something like free an imprisoned princess. Besides, it sounds unoriginal. I don't tbinm they should have Princesses/main ponies captured again after doing it many times.

I'm guessing you meant this image https://derpibooru.org/1563476?q=cozy+glow&sd=desc&sf=created_at

Doesn't seem believable.

I don't think it's true, but I do think it has the possibility of having merit. Being set in Tartarus seems to be a non-contrived to have Tirek make a reappearance without it just resulting in more of the same.

While it's not directly mentioned, they do foreshadow it's eventual founding with the final few lines. We'll probably get a proper segue between the two idea in the opener.

Not only does this seem entirely fake, it also just sounds like a bad idea for a finale. We basically already had this done with season 6's finale. Mane 6 trapped, needs others to rescue them. Same dealio.

I didn't hear any foreshadowing, just Twilight saying it was a good thing Starlight reminded her what she forgotten she learned about friendship.

Not that part, the part with Star Swirl and the princesses.

Let's see Spike be the hero this season!

I hope he will mature sometime tho. 

[Ganondorf8 11,311]

I'd take this information with a huge grain of salt and not believe what this leak is saying.

[Megas 27,630]

In all honesty I wouldn't mind a season finale that starred the CMC

That synopsis sounds like bad fan fiction.

Yeah, mostly. Also the villain's name just sounds like a bad OC.

Considering that a "leaked" mid-season finale for season 7 was found out to be fake, I have a hard time buying this one.

That makes two of us.

[SugarCoatxMarblePie 701]

I just saw season 8 episode 1, can't find episode 2, but ALOT seems to have been leaked.

[Prospekt 11,018]

Well. Pretty sure that same theory from the OP has shown up in the new set of leaks.

Spoiler

What with Tirek and a School of Friendship...
