Ganondox 899 March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 I’m pretty sure Celestia retiring is actually Chrysalis, the facial expression she made when she announced it was odd, and the episode synopsis seems to mention a villain team up. That doesn’t explain why Luna is also down with it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunset Rose 254 March 12, 2019 Share March 12, 2019 There's a good number of directions they could take this in, I feel. It's interesting that they started the season off with a trailer that basically gives the viewer the series' endgame, but I think that's what most people imagined would end the series- with the passing of the torch to Twilight. We thought that would originally be the end when she became an alicorn. But maybe they'll surprise us. Nine seasons is a long time for a cartoon, but so far it's been pretty good. I have no reason to believe season nine will disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, the fandom's gonna be hellishly pissed. They're going to be anyway. Sometimes I stumble on songs that were written when Twilight became an Alicorn. All of it, VERY dark. This free-spirited Mare suddenly tied down to a throne. From what I can tell, the fandom was in a total panic, fearing for what this would do to her. And if that's not enough, it also reinforces the fear that she's more or less immortal, and is going to have to see her friends die. Hasbro what have you done?!

bwrosas 252 March 13, 2019 Share March 13, 2019 Depending on how they do it, one thing is most certain: Spoiler Twilight will not be ruling over Equestria anytime soon. The hint given about #200 gave that away. As well as you have "Rainbow Roadtrip" Upcoming in the summer. if they go that route teased, it won't be till the 2nd half of this final season. Thoughts anypony? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a story on FimFiction around that same premise that I read except that Celestia had died and transferred her powers to Twilight. Talk about a depressing story. It kept jumping 20 or so years in the future and her friends kept dying of old age while she stayed young. Something tells me that the sisters retiring will lead to Sombra’s invasion cause he would think Equestria would be weakened without them. The scene of Applejack and Applebloom running made me think that their parents aren’t coming back. It seems like they’re running towards them.

I bet Queen Chrysalis is behind of all this. 2 ♪ "I practice every day to find some clever lines to say, to make the meaning come through"♪ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misty Shadow 7,909 March 23, 2019 Share March 23, 2019 The facial expression Celestia made was likely just done for a joke, guys. Occam's Razor, not to mention that Grogar's confirmed inclusion in the Season 9 premiere makes Chrysalis being crammed in here too to be unlikely, as too many villain plots would surely hinder the premiere's pacing. For my own conspiracy theory, I had a somewhat chilling realization recently that made me believe more that the show is going to have their own reformation of Sombra. I think that both he and Luna were possessed by the same kind of dark force. I think that the destruction of the elements in the Season 9 premiere is an intentional homage to the destruction of the elements in the show's pilot with Nightmare Moon. It would explain why Luna was so adamant about wanting to go to the Crystal Empire with Twilight in the Season 3 premiere, even to the point where she was still disappointed after Twilight succeeded. If both of the villains we thought she and Stygian were turned out to just be good-hearted ponies who were corrupted by an evil shadow, then... https://www.deviantart.com/frank3dz/art/A-day-to-remember-1140892930 (seriously guys, read this comic, it's hilarious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can watch the live-stream of the final season premiere. Not going to make a habit of requesting Saturday, despite watching horse live streams for years, but life comes first.

Steve Piranha 29,428 June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 (edited) Well, we seem to be in a pretty decent mood for having only half a season left, a contrast to when the news hit FIM is ending. The sad reprise of the main song heard in the trailer added to the heartbreak Which begs the question? When we will hear it in-show? The show hasn’t shown any signs of an appropriate moment to play this, even suggesting the rest of the Mane 6 will rule alongside Twi for a long time as well. Hell, the soon to air Rainbow Roadtrip doesn’t appear to have any of that either PD: I’ve just teared up when listening this again Edited June 25, 2019 by Steve Piranha 1 Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Luna 31,407 June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 (edited) I think we will hear it at the very end of the last episode like in a montage of the entire show and then have it play into the credits. I can’t listen to it without getting chocked up. Edited June 25, 2019 by Twilight Luna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuteycindyhoney 13,307 June 25, 2019 Share June 25, 2019 I think one thing shatters the mood. I can't stand Spike's smug and condescending "Who, us?"
