Radiance64 7,053 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, I was just reading the latest issue of TV Guide(March 12-18) and saw this blurb about an episode of MLP: FiM airing 4/21 on page 21: "Not everything is rainbows and gumdrops in this two-part special that finds unicorn Twilight Sparkle digging up a wedding shocker as her brother Shining Armor prepares to get hitched." I'm not sure if this is old or first reported there, or if the information is even accurate, but I thought that I should share it here- what do you guys think of this? Could Shining Armor really be Twilight`s brother? Edited March 7, 2012 by Swoop Gotta spoiler those potential spoilers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrFrog 927 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) Twilight has a brother? I wasn't really expecting that...I don't. It's like some kinf of odd novella twist.

RagingTwilight 101 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) A part of me is really hoping this is fake; from our perspective, it would make no sense at all and would kill not only fanon, but even some canon elements as well. But...who knows? I'll reserve judgement until the episodes air. As for Princess Celestia's thoughts on the matter... Sorry. Had to do it. It was just too good an opportunity to miss.

Take it with a grain of salt bro, I've never seen TV Guide even mention the show before this issue, hell the Hub isn't even in their listings, so who knows how accurate the blurb could be.

SailorCardKnight 85 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Its one of those "wait and see" deals, but if Shining Armor IS her brother, it will be quite a twist on things. Want to start a webcomic, looking for an artist, details here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 This could be interesting. If Shining Armor is Twilight's brother, there must have been something in their past that makes her feel shock over his impending marriage. But if it is true, you can imagine that Twilight's parents' are so proud of their kids. One is the personal student of the Princess, and by the sound of it, the other one is a knight in the service of the Princess. It's party time, ponies!

I can't, sorry, wish I could in fact, but I swear I'm telling the truth here, I wouldn't post about it if I wasn't. Not sure if TV Guide has their facts straight though...

Slendermane 477 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Just saw this on Ponibooru. Now it's everywhere. I was not expecting this. I read a comment that Shining Armor's cutie mark was a shield with Twilight's Cutie Mark on it. I just looked up a picture (I had never seen his Cutie Mark), and it turns out, they are similar. This could have some truth to it. How long do you think it has been since Twilight has seen her brother?

Captain Marvelous 544 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) So after the rumor "the image of the tv guide synopsis" popping up of the first half of season finale, I've noticed some interesting reactions from the fandom... My only reaction is this I mean seriously, in fact the cake twins not only don't look like their parents, they aren't even earth ponies. I get the feeling that family resemblance isn't necessarily common. I mean, look at rarity and her parents. Besides the white coat that she shares with her father, they don't really look a like To the best of my knowledge, it was never outright stated that Twilight was an only child. We never knew that Rarity and Sweetie Belle's parents were still around until they showed them, and it was never truly established that they were still around until the moment they appeared on the show. Some want to even say that Twilight has never even spoken of her brother... well in honestly, I would never speak to anyone about my siblings... perhaps he is a jerk to her (in a playful brother way) which seeing this is a girl's show, this might go this way. Now I'm just waiting for all the incest art of Twilight and Shining...LOL Edited March 7, 2012 by Captain Marvelous 5 okay ponies, give me all your treasure.

This could have some truth to it. How long do you think it has been since Twilight has seen her brother? Yeah, and the multi-color pattern in his hai-I mean mane! resembles Twilight's too, except he only has one variation of color. But it's in a strikingly similar place. It could be true. I'm still not sure I like the idea, but like I said earlier I'll just wait until the actual episode.

Colon Leftbracket 971 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Thank Celestia for Spoiler Tags! For the first time I'm getting to see the premier of a Pony Finale and I actually won't look at the synopsis of the episode... ...though tumblr may have ruined it for me already Guess we'll see...

Espionage 113 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 Yeah, I can't wait for this finale. It'll be cosmic. But they'll find a way to make the brother-sister thing work. Considering that Angel BITCHSLAPS Fluttershy in the newest episode, the whole "Show for Little Girls" thing just got thrown out of the window. Alea Jacta Est May I Steal Your Soul?

Slendermane 477 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) Twilight was always quiet and focused on her studies, so it really doesn't surprise me that she could have a brother. She never speaks about her parents, except when telling about her Cutie Mark story. I'm sure he lives far away, and they don't see each other often. I didn't notice the similar manes. Thanks for pointing that out. Edited March 7, 2012 by Slendermane Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Pony Joe 583 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 (edited) This actually wouldn't make a bad episode. I will, however, remain skeptical until further notice. Since when do people have TV guides that give detailed synopses 1.5 months in advance? Why would we have information of this episode, but not the one preceding it? Why would Twilight have a brother who has never been even hinted at in the slightest? Oh, and "revealment" isn't a word. Edited March 7, 2012 by Pony Joe 3 That's really all there is to say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekira G. Drake 50 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 There's this small part of me saying that the pony to the right is related to Celestia... I don't know why... Also known as Wolfahya, White Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBaby 660 March 7, 2012 Share March 7, 2012 I do admit, I am a bit skeptical too. But it probably won't be too long before we're able to confirm whether it's true or not. A Winner Is You!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
