S09:E26 - The Last Problem

[The Nth Doctor 662]

Rarity ending up old, sad, and alone is perfect for her character who only cares about trends and status

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if she had a husband, only to drop him once it was no longer trendy

I was a little bit disapointed that Appledash was canon because other ships had way more potential and chemistry.

Personally, I didn't see them as a couple. I just saw it as their usual bickering.

It was a bad move to introduce couples in the very last episodes, in a show that didn't aim to do romance things

But that's been a part of the show since season two. Regardless, Lauren Faust had a strict "no romance" rule when it came to the show. Yet another thing Hasbro went and completely ignored.

Last episode of season 2 introduced standard Disney princess wedding stuff, and Lauren Faust was already fired at that point. At least she managed to get some cool fighting action stuff into the wedding episode

Not quite correct. AFAIK she left on her own, and maybe never planned to stay for that long. Let's be honest, nopony thouht FiM would be 9 seasons.

She didn't look that happy when she announced she left all by her own. I have a suspicion she told that so that Hasbro wouldn't kill her family.

The only reason she left was because Hasbro kept screwing around with the show. Had they not done that, she would've stayed and the show probably would've remained consistently good. But after she left, the show went downhill and never recovered. But speaking personally, I thought the first few seasons of this show were utter crap.

Tabitha St. Germain  voice of Rarity maybe in her heart she couldn't stop crying for the final season 9 of Friendship is magic of MLP  because as an Actress for so many years she didn't   want to  let her talent for the show to end for her Character and wanted to make the audience smile one last time  with her Spiky Wiky !

Garbage finale, garbage season. Needs to be redone. How anyone could like it is beyond me.

I couldn’t agree more with that. Should have just shown a better ending without the coronation and about Twilight and all the characters saying goodbye to one character who was leaving Equestria and that should have been Luster Dawn, and the lesson of the episode would be to say goodbye. And also no in the future and no flashbacks but a whole episode revolving around farewell.

Here’s a link to a YouTube video I also made about how the Last Problem was fake too: https://youtu.be/hWbDWCieaZA

My thoughts exactly! This episode was so bad that ruined the series for me!

[Jeric 46,851]

Post hidden due unneeded antagonistic posturing. I’ll shall instead replace that post with the appropriate way of applying it here. 
 

The show is done, and the final episode is how the show runners and Hasbro wanted it to end. Any requests to change it that cannot be R calculated will not be met with anything other than silence. Contracts have closed and new ones signed. Hasbro is fairly predictable. Enjoy what you had.

Alright, I am hella late to the party but here we go.

I just wanted to give a little comedic/logic smoothie to anyone who is saddened by the now apparently canon concept of flowy mane alicorn Twilight outliving the other EoH. Even if this does occur, Twilight will be very, very far from being alone. There is actually a sizable list of characters on her friend roster who do not give a single buck about aging, age very slowly, or have the capacity to do either or.

1: Celestia and Luna are also (apparently) immortal. L'Oréal makes those manes flow and your age go. Twilight and Celestia have a very special bond, just in themselves. Huge win for Camp Happy Immortality. Don't believe me? Just listen to this absolute bop. 

2: Discord is absolutely immortal. In Discordant Harmony, we found that Discord is quite literally a spirit or entity of chaos, and that he fades away if he isn't chaotic. As long as chaos exists, it is fair to assume that Discord will. I can definitely see Twilight and Discord having a serious heart to heart over Fluttershy's passing and growing closer from it. 

3: Spike is going to be alive for probably thousands of years. Dragon lifespans are hilariously long. Torch, Ember's father, was still alive (and looked the exact same) during the original time period the Pillars were alive.  

4: Starlight is a goddamn hack wizard, and will probably invent an immortality spell just to keep Twilight company. 

[Tom Gallagher 33,588]

@~C. Discord~ Great way to look at it.  With all that though, my theory is that Twilight should and will eventually make the others immortal.  It wouldn't be fair on the others if Twilight just sits there and outlives them all.  The immortality spell probably made them all young again too! 

But I'm just imagining... 

[JMTV99 1,353]

Man, after watching the final episode, it gives me the feels SO HARD! The song was beautiful and it does gives me teary eyed. I do love it's message and the way the song was presented was amazing. Plus, it has some amazing Easter eggs and cameos (my favorite one is the Lyra and Bon Bon one)

However, I wasn't a big fan of the design of the future Mane 6 because they looked too old and Twilight's final coronation was pretty embarrassing compared to Magical Mystery Cure. Plus, I don't want to see Twilight outlived her friends. It rubs me the wrong way.

Finally, despite me wanted the show should've ended in Season 5, I'm glad this show finally got a conclusion when it did and it was very satisfying.

As someone who has been a huge fan of MLP FIM for almost 10 years, it's one heck of a fun ride. I want to thank Lauren Faust, Hasbro, and DHX so much for truly bring this show out to world and spread the message that friendship is magic.

I enjoyed this Episode and i am sad that it ended. I will miss many of the student six characters since we couldnt spend much time with them...also looking back at the enitre show and realizing that it ended, it made me cry.

The song was also great. Great Epilog.

The show was a fun ride and i am excited to see what comes next!

Well, I don’t think I have anything to write that I haven’t written before. Time to say goodbye to our ponies 

Also, I took this picture shortly after I saw the leaked finale. Pretty fitting and timely 

Since the video was taken down, I’ll provide another link to the beautiful music

I know how you feel on this one... I cried a lot when l see the book is about to close... Seeing my beloved Fashionista going away... 

[phantompone1148 126]

To be honest, this was a phenomenal way to end it. Probably one of the best endings to a cartoon I’ve ever seen!

10/10!

I still adore the way this series ended! I just rewatched it a couple days ago, and I tear up every time The Magic of Friendship Grows begins to play. This episode was just such a lovely sendoff and testament to the love that was put into the show by both the creators and the fans <3

[flutterly 1]

i loved it! i can’t get used to them grown up and everything, im so happy cheese sandwich and pinkie pie got together!! spike is a bit of a jumpscare (no offense.) i did cry a few times while watching it but i love it!! my little pony: friendship is magic will always be my favorite! 💖

i do wonder why twilight looks wayyy younger than the rest of the main 6

Except it wasn’t positively canon. The show runners said it was up to fans to interpret the scene the way they wanted.

Glad for that, since I’m a hard Soarinjack fan 

 

anyway, I may have not posted this when G5 premiered, but I want to take my two cents here: Many are still upset G5 is a distant sequel to FIM. Reasons are many, but I’m sure a frequent one is keeping FIM as a sacred artifact to remain untouched. I on the other hand am happy G5 is a sequel. I was afraid what was shown in ANG was merely bait, an in-universe fictional story, but I got happy the writers put that to rest in MYM chapter 2’s final trailer, getting the point across it was undoubtedly a sequel. This is the end for many, but for me, in either scenario that it’s the end of FIM period, or make a direct continuation (preferably this latter), is this:
