Surprised no one's freaking out about the Finale title

[JayStorm 40]

yeah me too, but remember, we're most likely getting another Sh**storm, so be prepared

[TheSupremeLeaderOfChaos 1,214]

That's an understatement

Yes. Yes it is.

 

Sometimes I think that they name the episodes things like "Princess Twilight Sparkle" and ""Twilight's Kingdom" just to mess with us.

 

 

The title's were probably supposed to be epic, like "The Attack of the Vines" or "Destroyers from the Past" or something. Then they saw us flip at Princess Twilight and thought, "Hey, we can take advantage of this. "

I'm not sure what to think of this. I'm excited for Twi if the title is true, but I don't really know what i personally think of it. 
 

I still don't understand XD

A LOT of bronies freaked out about Twilight becoming a Princess and several either claimed they were leaving the fandom, or actually did. It's likely that the finale's title is going to get a similar reaction, if not an even worse reaction.

SPOILERS: Spike gets married to the Tree of Harmony, then grows wings and a horn, making him the first Wyvercorn. Meanwhile, Bloomberg and Rarity decide that the Tree of Harmony isn't the proper bride for him, and devise a plan to end their romance.

 

Side note: My brain does weird shit sometimes.

I think it's this is where the S@itstorm is coming from....

I'm pretty sure that was confirmed fake.

I don't think that's real.

Its Meghan McCarthy and more importantly Hasbro. These things are hardly surprising anymore.

 

Its about as predictable as Batman prevailing in a fight.

[Discordian 6,018]

Prepared for what? For worthless opinions of people who don't matter and won't actually change how I view the show?

[Dattebayo 2,850]

Is the title "EVERYONE DIES"?

[crazitaco 596]

The title itself didn't make me freak shit, but the episode description for the second part did.

Its one thing to turn one character into a princess...

its an entirely different thing to take the other princesses' powers and give it ALL to Twilight.

I'm hoping that doesn't end up a permanent change, or else they are screwing the other princesses in the worst imaginable way.

And i think people aren't freaking out yet because its still pretty early. It could also be that people have already decided to accept it, are avoiding spoilers, don't look further into the implications of things, or simply don't care.

Personally, my views towards Princess Twily never really improved after her coronation. She's already forever ruined in my eyes, so why should I care if it gets any worse? I've already moved on and given up caring about anything to do with her. The writers have made it quite clear that Twily will basically become pony Jesus, and everyone will praise and love her. She will eventually be more powerful than celestia, and rule over equestria.

The title basically explains everything but I wanna know what it really is about.

[Kel_Grym 1,917]

Personally, I think this could go either way, but I expect that it's going to be the same ol:

 

Brony A: I thought it was a cool episode!

Brony B: WTF! This is the worst thing that could ever happen, I'll never watch the show again!

Brony C: I'll take middle ground.

 

and the show just keeps going on...

[Ianpiersonjdavis 514]

I was honestly expecting them to do this at the beginning of Season 4, since 'Magical Mystery Cure' was her coronation episode and every other princess has a castle.

 

Besides, people will probably chill out once they realize that the finale is her key episode(s).

[Wardaddy 470]

Why would someone freak out over the title? I don't know if I'm missing a reference here or.... what.

The fandom freaked out over Twilicorn because many believed that making Twilight an alicorn/princess would result in drastic changes to both herself and the show as a whole. Many feared (myself included) that Twilight's physical appearance would change, that her daily life would become overrun with royal duties, that she'd have to live in Canterlot with the other princesses and nobility (away from her friends), that she'd become aloof from her friends in all her royal grace, and that already she had been set apart from the Mane 5 in terms of equality. 

 

As for the alicorn part, her becoming an alicorn shattered hundreds upon hundreds of headcanon, including mine. People became anxious and angry because this sudden change had not only broken many of their homemade boundaries, but it had jumped the shark at the same time. We (referencing the aggrieved half of the fandom) believed that Twilight had become a princess way too soon. It would've been better if, like many TV shows, that she didn't become an alicorn princess until the penultimate end of the show. We feared that becoming a princess early might result in Twilight replacing Celestia sooner than originally thought. 

 

To be honest, I agree with JayStorm. That half of the fandom will get angry again, and thus they will argue that giving Twilight a kingdom/palace will result in her getting pretty much locked up in there forever, stuck with papers, royal banquets and the like, unable to go out with her friends on adventures ever again. Personally, I don't think so. Hasbro will find a way around it. I have faith. As for the inevitable shitstorm that will follow, we won't need a nuclear bunker. We'll need over 9000 nuclear bunkers meshed together to survive this.

 Alright I was okay with the title until I read this. I never even considered how much her being a princess could change the show. I never even considered Twilight not participating with her friends as much due to her royal responsibilities.

 

 I also think Hasbro won't allow that, it would really hamstring the show as I've always seen Twilight as the group leader. The one they go to for spells and random ways to save themselves, if she's always busy or not with them they wont have that, and I don't see them doing that to the show.

 

 I imagine princess Celestia will offer Twilight her own kingdom and she'll either turn it down or find some sort of compromise as a way to stay closer to her friends. Twilight is famous for finding compromises, much like the rest of the ponies. The "bats" episode was a good compromise with the bats instead of worrying about getting rid of them (even though it wasn't Twilight that came up with that compromise). 

[Zekromic 1,054]

Well, the shitstorm for the tittle is pretty minor compared with the Twilicorn and the first Equestria Girls, surprisingly 

[Scootalove 10,689]

Cue the ridiculous overreacting over the Twilight's Kingdom title.

[Khaoios 1,970]

I'm not to hyped about "Twilight's Kingdom".  Yet, once I saw it, first thing that came to mind was "Mario is Spike, and Peach is Twilight"

[Skycoaster 698]

The reason I'm freaking out is because in my head I'm putting 2+2 and getting 5

 

I have this fear that by the part 2 description and title that we may not have Luna or Celestia around any more.

[Wingnut 7,018]

Well, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Twilight would eventually get a kingdom once she became a princess. Or should we say a princessdom since most rulers in Equestria are princesses?

 

I don't expect as much outcry this time. Those who really hated it have quit and everybody who held on knew it would come. The only reason this surprises me is that they seem to be setting the ponies up for an endgame where they all go their own way. Twilight is getting ready to rule. Rarity is going to Manehattan with Coco and Rainbow will end up on the Wonderbolts. How can they do that if they want to continue MLP:FiM for several years to come?   

[Will Guide 21,371]

First of all, I'm avoiding spoilers as much as possible other than the title! :okiedokielokie:

 

Second of all, after learning the title, I thought of the scene from the beginning of Equestria Girls:

 

Twilight Sparkle: [sigh]

Spike: What's wrong, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know, Spike. I'm just... worried, I guess. Princess Cadance was given the Crystal Empire to rule over. What if, now that I'm a princess, Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?

Spike: That would be awesome!

Twilight Sparkle: No, it would not! Just because I have this crown and these wings, it doesn't mean I'll be a good leader!

 

That was sometime ago, and now look at her progress!

Yeah, I already can see some payoff coming up!  

 

And to think Equestria Girls was the first time I was a room full of young girls with their parents and men and women my age who were fans of this show! The fan base really was bigger than I initially thought when I'd joined.  

 

Well, less than 3 weeks to go! After this season ends, I'll focus on the fan-made stuff.

[Shanks 10,817]

I am way way more freaked out about the description of part 2 of the season finale than the title. 

 

 

Discord being sent after a villain sounds awesome, but everypony is giving their powers to Twilight are you freaking kidding me? How twilicorn was handled already puts her way too close to Mary Sue territory but if this goes as badly as I fear than I might end up considering "princess Twilight" and pre ascension Twilight different characters entirely.

 

 

I guess I have no other choice than to just wait and see what happens.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,334]

Last year saw Twilight become a princess. This year she becomes a GODDESS!

LOL

Actually, I think her magic will impose order on the Everfree Forest, and that will be her realm.

(No kings, so it's not a kingdom!)

It's conveniently close to Ponyville, so she'll still see all of her friends on a daily basis. I think the Tree of Harmony (That Shout Factory DVD cover art) will reward her by encompassing the library tree into itself and bringing it into the Everfree Forest, so Twilight will have a cute but small castle of her own. 

 

 

Note: It's not much bigger than the library tree. Twilight would be comfortable there, surrounded by her books.
