DiscordAnarchy 770 February 2, 2013 Share February 2, 2013 Has Anyone Else reading between the lines of this season. I am beginning to suspect something serious will be going down in season 4.Episode One: Celestia tells Luna that Twilight has learned about Self Sacrifice. Episode 10: Celestia tells Twilight that she needs Discord's Magic for good and has a Equestrain summit to attend. This means Celestia probably knows that something horrible may be coming, something that her magic alone cannot defeat hence the reason she needs Discord's help. Finale: Celestia apparently helps Twilight gain more power and prepares her leadership.The whole season has been about joining 2 kingdoms together (crystal and Canterlot) and getting them both prepared for something*is seeking more information as he rewatches the seasons*I think all of this is because of the return of I seriously think the writers have a darker plot set up for season 4.... 2 Just what is a Nega Brony?

SilverStarApple 850 February 2, 2013 Share February 2, 2013 (edited) If it's one of the villains from the first few serieses, I'll "Release" a pile of high-quality stone bricks onto my bedroom floor. Lol, just kidding! Maybe there'll be a badass evil villain who'll actually try to kill the Mane 6 instead of toying with them? (I call dibs on this, because it's going in my MLP/TBBT fanfic.) Edited February 2, 2013 by Asquerade I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was akin to a slow death.

What do you think may be in store for s4? I am not sure. I've heard the things going on with Hasbro, but to be honest, I have faith in the writers. Hasbro may be in it for making toys, but they do allow great writing nevertheless as we've seen in the past with their other shows (albeit those were in the 90s and late 80s but I digress). I am thinking that Season 4 will focus more on twilight being trained for greatness while a new villain may slowly be introduced. No matter what, I believe that what Celestia said about Self Sacrifice in episode one of this season is something no pony should ignore. 1 Just what is a Nega Brony? Click the Sig to find out!

No matter what, I believe that what Celestia said about Self Sacrifice in episode one of this season is something no pony should ignore. I agree with what you say about Celestia's words. It seems like she is preparing Twilight for something big and (for the love of luna let me be wrong) perhaps the end of the leading sisters themselves. Like the rule of greek titans before the gods, maybe something requires Celestia and Luna to sacrifice themselves. Thus leaving the elements of harmony as the mane 6 powers of good (or harmony if you will). Interesting... Celestia is day right? Obviously Luna is night! And the happy median here is---You got It!Twilight!!!

DiscordAnarchy 770 February 2, 2013 Author Share February 2, 2013 Besides Discord running loose now, I wonder if her giving them the Elements for safe keeping has something to do with a concept that she may vanish soon... 1 Just what is a Nega Brony?

himanuts 165 February 2, 2013 Share February 2, 2013 Tambelon is coming back. I personally really hope they do follow upon the need of Discord's powers and what advantages Twilight's accension might add. There's a rumor going around about a possible 66 minute special being made. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokota 28 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 (how does one 'hear' the tears of a changeling?) While I have no knowledge of villains that may or may not be coming back, I will say that if Season 4 does slowly introduce a big bad for the season, I will be simultaneously pleased and abhorred. Pleased because I eat up that sort of story arcery with a spoon, and abhorred because - this still being primarily aimed towards 8-12 year olds - how do you think they'll handle such a villain?

Harmonic Revelations 8,836 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 Yes, you heard it here first. Voldemort is coming back in season 4. I tried to keep it hidden, I mean, Hasbro trusted me with such knowledge. But the OP has already figured it out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 I still want a villain voiced by Peter Wingfield(if it was a villain that made a heel face turn into a anti-hero in the end, it would be even better) He's the one giving the villain speech in this scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lasBd-Sad4w "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betez 1,734 February 3, 2013 Share February 3, 2013 Eh, I don't know. I don't really think they're going for a darker side of the show. The show's aimed at kids, and I don't think they'd watch it if it was too dark. At the same time, you could be right.

Am I the only one who remembers what kid's shows were like back in the day? Really? Grogar was in the original series and he enslaved an entire race and wanted to slaughter the unicorns to take their powers. In the Care Bears movie, the villain was basically Satan who took a girl's soul in exchange at her getting better at sports. Secret of Nimh, all dogs go to heaven, american tale, gargoyals, tail spin, sonic the hedgehog...they all had very dark villains, twisted episodes or storylines, etc. People need to stop handling children with kid's gloves 3 Just what is a Nega Brony?

Secret of Nimh, all dogs go to heaven, american tale, gargoyals, tail spin, sonic the hedgehog...they all had very dark villains, twisted episodes or storylines, etc. People need to stop handling children with kid's gloves We've already had half of our Grogar with Sombra, and the other half is a little too dark for the established tone of the show. I can see them doing a Deal With The Devil plot for one episode, but not for an extended period of time. As for the other examples, Don Bluth will always be Don Bluth, Gargoyles and Sonic the Hedgehog were very much a part of the 90's wave of Kid-Friendly Badasses... I haven't seen enough of Tale Spin to be familiar with it, but presumably the same only Disney. But you forgot one major offender in the list of dark and twistedness: the Disney Rennaisance. Ursula, who used a Deal With The Devil plot as part of a grander scheme to rule the entirety of the ocean, killed by being skewered by a ship. Gaston, the original definition of Testosterone Poisoning who was going to force Belle into marrying him by any means possible, killed by falling off of a roof. Jafar, who pretty much became a devil to get what he wanted, killed by being melted in magma. Scar, who orchestrated regicide, banished the heir without any true authority to do so and then refused to do anything else to secure his place as king (guess which Disney Villain I despise the most), killed by his former allies when he tried to throw them under the bus. Frollo, who basically went power mad and attempted genocide, killed by falling off of Notre Dame. I'm not worried so much about what the villain does, so much as how our heroines will dispatch him. As I stated before, the show has an established tone, and the writers won't stray too far from that no matter how badly the new villain needs to be dismembered as retribution for his or her crimes against Equinity. Nightmare Moon was purified; Discord was re-petrified, de-petrified, and ultimately taught the importance of true friendship; Chrysalis was banished very forcefully; Sombra was effectively disintegrated. ...okay, so the show has gotten progressively more lethal in its methodology, but we've basically done everything feasible to a villain outside of permanently re-sealing them (Discord doesn't count for this even if we discount Keep Calm and Flutter On, as it was implied by Celestia that once the Elements of Harmony find new bearers, Discord would have broken free again). And don't say "Back in the day" when you're referring to the end decades of the 20th century - the original versions of many of our beloved "Children's Stories" were even darker because we knew Children could handle them... or at least, we didn't think that it would damage them. 2 Why not check out my blog while you're at it?

Koori 156 February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 Celestia's and Luna's conversation in Season 3 episode 1 did raise some questions in my mind. In fact both episode 1 & 2 left a big mystery IMO. If there will be season 4 and season 3 finale doesn't elaborate on the whole thing, I'm very much interested to know what they meant with with the whole thing then. Get through the unknown like your life depended on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatrixChicken 879 February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 We need a villain voiced by Mark Hamill, obviously. Seriously, he voices so many villains. It would be awesome, especially because my sisters would then see that there was some talent involved in the show (not that the other VAs aren't talented, but since one of their favorite peeps acted in it, they might give it a chance. xD). 1 Deviantart: MatrixChicken | Youtube: ThunderFilmStudios | Twitter: @JohnAlBerge Twitch.tv: ThunderFilms | Soundcloud: ScootriX Scootaloo vector by robzombiefan2121 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metemponychosis 1,262 February 5, 2013 Share February 5, 2013 Two possibilities: we're reading too much into the "between lines" and the producers never even thought of that. (but hay... that's what a forum is for.) Or, they are going to take a darker tone in the show. "Lion King Style". I can't see Hasbro allowing that. They'd shoot down the idea of taking major (or even somewhat important) characters out of the show. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out. And I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
