MCM '25: Spot the Fake Screencap

 

 

"Winter Paradise" by @Sophie.

 

============================================================================================================

How sharp is your vision? Can you spot the fake?

Happy Holidays, MLP Forums! :rarityhat:
Are you ready to play a game?
The rules are simple.

  • Observe the pictures and try to identify which ones are the edited screencaps.
  • There are 3 fake screencaps in total to identify.
  • → Be sure to hide your answers behind the Spoiler tag!
  • You are free to use Google (or any image search), watch the episodes, or do whatever you need to identify the fakes.
  • If you're still struggling to find the fake, try telling me something funny. If it makes me laugh, you'll get bonus points!

There will be multiple rounds so there will be multiple chances to win!

There are too many of these screencaps... too much information to process...

I felt that way too but at least it increases the challenge! :pip-err:

I am going to go with H and I....

I have decided to compile the episode number and timestamp for all of these screencaps. The ones that are not listed with an episode number or timestamp are the ones that are most likely to be fake.

A: S7E4, 7:16

B: Season 8-9 theme song. Roughly 22 seconds in.

C: S8E8, 2:57

D: Those are Ocs.

E: S7E22, 13:17

F: S8E13, 10:28

G: "The Best Gift Ever", 15:31

H: S9E5, 8:47

I: S9E22, 13:10

J: S9e23, 0:43

K: S8E2, 17:41

L: ???

M: S6E12, 14:46

N: ???

O: "Rainbow Roadtrip", 3:18

Well done everyone! :pinkiecutehat:

So many of you got so close. But the winner of this round is: @Iridescent Edge!
The fakes were D, L, and N.
D contains fan characters, L contains an edit of Rarity's face, and N contains some added foliage.

Remember, if you want to increase your chances to win, try making me laugh with a funny comment or joke. :dash-sweg:
But for now, let's keep the game going!

A shame you didn't include anything from Equestria Girls, but I suppose there wasn't as much material to work with compared to the others. In any case, this is a fun little novelty that really tests one's memories of what they have seen provided they can actually remember.

Also, I suggest not having the answers in the thread because people are just too curious not to look. This latter part is just my two cents so pay me no mind.

:devious: No one said this game was over yet. Stay tuned, my friend.

:laugh: You should try clicking on the tag under "The answers" to see what you're actually missing.

And just because you made me laugh, the winner of round three is: @Ganondorf8
The fakes were E, F, and M.
E has an altered hat graphic, F fixes an animation error by giving Sweetie Belle her horn, and M removes Fluttershy's teeth.

1st. Image G
The flowers on the side have three in the original, but there are four.
2nd. Image K
In the original (S2E4), there were Pipp, Jazz Hooves, and Rocky Riff on the stage, but in the screencap, Rocky was missing.

I couldn't find where the third one is, though.

"... Rocky was missing." => "... Jazz was missing."
3rd. Image B
There were more accessories on Misty than the original, but I think she's a lot cuter with accessories. <3

Nevermind, I found it.

First of all, I want to give a big shout out to @rottenpawzies, @Petit Tonnerre Bleu, @liujiadong, @ExplosionMare, @Ice Princess Silky <3, @Iridescent Edge, @ThePinkestofPones, @Ganondorf8, and @PrincessPriscillaPT! :rarityhat: You all did an absolutely wonderful job!

However, the winner of the final round is: @Petit Tonnerre Bleu!
The fakes were C, H, and J.
C changes the scene composition, H contains an extra bowl, and J has Rarity in a completely different outfit.

I hope everyone had fun playing this game, and I hope we can all continue to play more fun games together next year.

Don't forget to consider donating to the charity linked above.
And thank you for participating!
