Anadu Kune 668 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 So this had occurred to me a while ago, but I hadn't seen anyone else mention it. We have seen images of an abandoned/ baron ponyville. I think its the result of someone(possibly sombra or discord) taking control of the crystal empire. Celestia demonstrated that if darkness took hold it would spread across Equestria. So whadda think, what are your theories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Soul 2,611 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 I've been wondering about the barren ponyville as well. I think it may be the corruption of some pony that is powerful in dark magic, wether this be Discord or it be Celestia, or it be Twilight. I don't think Sombras going to play a part anytime soon, as he actually died in the first episode.

If you read comics and scifi as much as I do you come to find that death can be only a minor inconvenience some times in fiction. Sombra could easily return. Though I thinking its more likely Discord or a new character voiced by John De Lancie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Party Cannon 876 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 (edited) Where is this barren Ponyville image that you speak of? Cool theory. Absolutely plausible. It may not be Sombra personally but his magic and or his minions sure. It could be an episode where one of the Mane Six wishes they were never born, and through a dream or whatever some mystical being shows what would have happened if they didn't exist.

Thunder Cleaver 4 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 I've been hearing rumors of Discord being Starswirl, so maybe Starswirl/Discord will come back and make Twilight question weather the crystal empire should've been saved, and Discrod/Starswirl showing her a deserted Ponyville as a result? Far fetched, but maybe plausible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on eqd and showed that all the trees were devoid of foliage and dead looking, rarities boutique was abandond and boarded up. I am looking for them right now but I cant find the link, they were posted a while ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_But_Short_37 233 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 If someone could post the pictures or link you're talking about, that'd be great. Sounds interesting. Is it anything like the pictures at 44:51 in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Ay_1IZGxMaA#t=2691s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekutree64 713 December 18, 2012 Share December 18, 2012 Oh yeah, I do remember seeing those pictures. I was thinking they were just part of Magic Duel, but now that I think about it, it only ever got dark and windy, but no actual boarding up of houses. I... don't know if I like the idea of things getting that dark (emotionally, not just lighting like in Magic Duel ). But yeah, I'd say it's a pretty high probability that it's just a vision of what may happen in the future. Is anyone else getting the feeling that the finale will be 4 episodes, not just 2? My original prediction for this season being 13 episodes was that they were working on a movie as well, but maybe they only did 9 episodes plus a movie presented in the form of a 4-parter. I guess counting Crystal Empire, that's almost half the season being dramatic adventure episodes. People do always complain about how the 2-parters are a little rushed for the amount of story that happens in them, so it would make sense to devote more running time to the finale on this one. But a high price to pay if making it was time consuming enough to cut the season length in half I really don't have a prediction on the story for the finale, though. Could be Sombra's horn, could be Discord, could just be another new villain like they usually do, could all be in Twilight's head while reading that book Luna had at the end of Crystal Empire, Twilight may be an alicorn by the end of it... so many possibilities and not enough evidence for any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Echo 10 December 21, 2012 Share December 21, 2012 If you read comics and scifi as much as I do you come to find that death can be only a minor inconvenience some times in fiction. Sombra could easily return. Though I thinking its more likely Discord or a new character voiced by John De Lancie. ^This. As a Doctor Who fan, I can't agree enough. Just look at the Master (or the Doctor for that matter). Death doesn't really stick to either. In the Master's case it might seem like it, but since he first showed up he's never been gone longer than 3-4 years (not counting the cancellation). Personally, I find it pretty suspicious that Sombra got so little screentime, not to mention his horn... Also, whether John De Lancie does Discord again or not, it could very well be his character. I kinda want it to be Sombra, but something tells me it's not as likely as I think. As for the length, Idk. Wasn't one of the last episodes actually produced first?

Veylon 255 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 My theory is that all the ponies lost their special talents, which lost them their cutie marks. Rarity is no longer especially skilled at fashion, which is why you see the terrible patched-together clothes. Applejack is no longer good at farming, and so the abandoned crops. The same would be true of the rest of the ponies as they lost the ability and interest in what were once their defining characteristics. The pictures had a strong vibe that something terribly important yet subtle had faded or failed and the world was a lesser place for it's absence. But that's just what I think.

Night Shine 767 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 >I've been hearing rumors of Discord being Starswirl Seriously, wat? o.o Oh yeah, the topic. Seems like an intriguing theory. I also am curious where the barren Ponyville image is; I haven't seen that Still, it's always interesting to see what villains do once they beat the protagonists.

YesIAmTori 285 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 I found the pictures, you guys! http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/08/rumor-possible-season-3-images-time-for.html I think Discord came back, took away everypony's abilities and then everything fell to pieces?
