Phoenix Wright 55 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 They're about the same size, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom The Diamond 1,830 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Nightmare Moon is about the same size as Celestia, and Luna is smaller then Celestia, though bigger then normal ponies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Shadrahk 159 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Nightmare moon is bigger. Look at when Luna turns back to normal. She's noticeably smaller. Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love? Did you ever think, stop thinking You're the only one that I'm thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnalone 21 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 It's certain that Luna in 1x02 is definitely smaller than Nightmare Moon, and I'm inclined to say that the older Princess Luna from Luna Eclipsed is also smaller than Celestia, though larger than the earlier design for Luna. She hardly towers over Twilight like Celestia usually does! I have no screencaps and fancy analysis to give, however, so this is just another subjective opinion to be tossed into the ring.

SrFrog 927 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Well just going by leg and neck length here, I would say that Nightmare Moon appears to be slightly larger.

Envoy-in-exile 101 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 (edited) Nightmare moon is bigger. Look at when Luna turns back to normal. She's noticeably smaller. Yes, see last part of S1e2 Edited February 25, 2012 by Envoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slendermane 477 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 It's hard to say. I think that Luna (restored Luna from Luna Eclipsed) is a little bit smaller than Nightmare Moon, but it is hard to say.

DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Nightmare Moon was slightly taller because of her skinnier legs and bigger wingspan. In Luna Eclipsed, Luna had a longer neck, but her legs and wings were smaller. It's party time, ponies!

Comet Tail 808 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 (edited) I think Luna was a lot smaller when she'd just been freed from Nightmare Moon by the elements of harmony, but after an entire season, she had time to recover and maybe regain some size; after all, her growth had probably been stunted by 1,000 years of posession inside Nightmare Moon, and had weakened her to where she's much smaller than her sister, which used to be her equal. I mean, she was about the same size as the other ponies; a little bigger, but not much. The video is even more revealing; Celestia is a lot shorter here because she's sitting (Still the best picture I could find). EDIT: Remember, before Luna was consumed by her jealousy and became Nightmare Moon, her and Celestia were the exact same size. But she didn't shrink when she became Nightmare Moon, she probably even got a little larger. So that means NM is equal to or larger than Celestia, but here we see Luna is smaller than Celestia. Therefore, NM is larger than Luna... At this point. But Luna has grown since this episode. My guess is, having just had most of herself, the jealous, Nightmare Moon part of herself destroyed, she's weak in this episode, and small. But over the course of the first season, she's regained some stature, having recovered from this, so she's larger in "Luna Eclipsed" than she is in S1E2. /EDIT But now compare that to Nightmare Moon, the being powerful enough to make Celestia disapear and bring eternal night, appeared to be about the same size as Celestia: Don't let the poses or the fact that half of Nightmare Moon is off-camera confuse you; Fluttershy is "standing up" with wings fully outstretched, while NM is in natural horse standing pose, compare the actual body area of each, NM is huge. Compare their wings, too.

Luurilka 325 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Just look at the episode if u want to know. I looked and it seems like Luna is smaller.

Comet Tail 808 February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 (edited) Me and my wife are in an argument over whether nightmaremoon is larger than princess luna.... Anyone wanna help out By the way; here's some great advice I've heard. I haven't actually tested it myself, but it really rings true to me, it comes from someone who's had a great successful marriage and has survived a lot of problems, you might want to listen: When a woman starts picking at you for something, you take it. Like, say, she's upset you didn't take out the trash; don't defend yourself, just say, "yeah, okay, I should've taken out the trash". The goal is to let her rant. Because whatever is upsetting her, is not the trash, or in this case, the size of two forms of the same character in My Little Pony. What's upsetting her is something else. So you let her rant, or "vent", I guess they call it sometimes. And let them jump from one thing to another. Their frustration is like a big garbage can, and whatever is upsetting them is at the bottom of it, so before they get to the real issue, they'll be pulling out garbage and throwing it at you the whole time. You've just gotta take it like a man, and understand that the small things are not really the issue, she's just spouting out her feelings of frustration, trying to get everything out, and eventually, she'll jump to something that's totally unrelated, something you didn't even know was a problem, and that's the problem. You'll know. But in the meantime, you just gotta be a man and take all the junk, let her vent, understand her feelings, only say what will keep her going, like, "yeah, you're right" and "okay", and eventually she'll arrive at the real problem, then you can address it. The best way to learn isn't from experience, it's from other people's experience, so hopefully this other person's experience can help. Now hopefully the pegasisters here won't kill me for saying this Edited February 25, 2012 by EASA - Dr. Braun 2 I'm a student Royal Astrophysicist that loves kindness, rationality, curiosity, open-mindedness and deep intellectual discussions!
