Akemi Homura 7,680 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Y'know how in the wedding episodes, TrollCelestia told the mane 6 to go get the Elements to defeat Queen Chrysalis? Well...remember back in the beginning of Season 2 when she said that the chamber leading to the elements can be opened by a spell that she can only use? Well, what was the point sending them to get the elements, if they couldn't even open the door to them? And what happens if Celestia can't be there to unlock the elements? She wouldn't be dumb enough to not allow Twilight to open the chamber in a time of great need for the elements. I think after the ordeal with Discord, the Mane 6 beating not only one but two powerful adversaries, the Mane 6 would have gotten special permission from the ruler herself to wield the elements at will should bad times arrive.

I think after the ordeal with Discord, the Mane 6 beating not only one but two powerful adversaries, the Mane 6 would have gotten special permission from the ruler herself to wield the elements at will should bad times arrive. Well, that's just it, though, this “permission” would be the aforementioned spell, and there's only so much we know about it. So far, we only know that at least a Celestia is the only one that has it, so that possibly rules out any lower beings being able to break it, of which there are none. We have no idea what the crew was doing when they made Celestia told the mane 6 to retrieve the elements from what we've been told about the door that leads to them, but if they're suggesting that Celestia supposedly “passed on” the ability to break said spell, yeah, that would make sense. The only thing that I don't understand is how that ability could be passed on to another. My journey in the fandom started on April 5, 2012. I joined here on April 24, 2012. Where that journey is headed now, who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point, but it was never explicitly mentioned in any episode like NASCARFAN basically just said lol :3 I refuse to let go until you're impressed.

Eenohay 318 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 In S1 E15 Twilight barely escapes getting killed by a Hydra after jumping of a cliff and landing on a bubble. What if she had just teleported across the gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that the Elements of Harmony themselves would have access to their own gadgets and sources of power without big boss having to call the shots all the time, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenohay 318 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 No, that was foreshadowing. The mane 6 could've used the Elements of Harmony to stop the parasprites in Swarm of the Century, as well as several other enemies, but didn't. Not really, because that would have implied telling Celestia they were in trouble, wich is the thing they were trying to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame them. Those parasprites probably would have got them banished to their own separate moons :3 I refuse to let go until you're impressed. I refuse to let go until I'm depressed.

One 498 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Logic in this show? THERE IS NONE!!! Like what about the CMC in episode 1, I find that a little weird. Plus Princess Celestia never flies anywere. Plus what about in that one episode when Twilight was breaking into that one building to stop the 'bad thing' from happening ( cant remember episode name) when she could of just teleported in. Or why they dont just study spike some if other dragons are to scary to talk to.hmm thats all i can think of... (and someof theese where most likely already said) This is a signature.

I used to be a stranger 7,993 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Cartoon Logic is equal to or greater than magic. It explains both Pinkie Pie, and how Rainbow Dash named her pet after a mechanical war machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~WhiteHawk~ 186 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 There is no logic in this cartoon. Like how Spike's head spikes are hard enough to get stuck in a tree but when he gets wet or hit in the head it goes down like it's soft. Oh, let's also not forget how the CMC formed a secret society then told everyone via dance and song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherry Blossom 864 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Wasn't there like a whole Royal Guard platoon in Canterlot during that wedding? I mean it only showed 2 Royal guards captured. It's so weird that a well equipped military was taken down by a StarCraft reference.

Xievie 498 July 23, 2012 Share July 23, 2012 Guys, guys.. You're all looking at this conversation way too hard. The answer to this all: don't question the fact that logic is just an old foalstale. "Real life is just a crappy game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfEdge 75 July 24, 2012 Share July 24, 2012 Chrysalis got the power to defeat Celestia from Shining Armor's love but when Cadence tells him her love will give him strength Chrysalis calls it a useless sentiment. Chrysalis derped. But seriously, if Changling's feed on love, I'd reckon she SHOULD have been able to know a threat when she saw one. So... you know.

Midnight Rose 0 July 24, 2013 Share July 24, 2013 Pinkie's glasses: how do they know what noses look like? There are no humans! Names/cutie marks: how do they know to name them after their cutiemarks if they don't know what they are yet? Personality: why is it still personality? They change everything else, shouldn't it be ponyality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen 1,354 July 24, 2013 Share July 24, 2013 (edited) Spitfire seems super impressed when Ponyville meets the bare minimum required wing strength to lift water into Cloudsdale. To add to this, why the hell didn't she help them? I'd have thought it's in her best interest as well as everyone else's when they weren't meeting the quota, which would've caused there to be no rainwater, but instead forces them to rely on Fluttershy who held no guarantee she'd be able to help reaching the minimum quota. Not sure if this was mentioned, but I still can't get over how Spike was terrible with house chores at the apple farm while he does magnificantly around Twilight.

RrVPfX9cPtw59FpC 1,304 July 31, 2013 Share July 31, 2013 I love these responses! Everypony seems to see some flaw in the logic of Equestria! I suppose discord arrebaderching Fluttershy didn't fit in with his character, but that's not really a flaw.
