I was so shocked when it became apparent that A K Yearling was actually just Daring Do. I'm not sure if even now I'm that fond of that reveal. I don't think it works that well. :okiedokielokie:

I noticed this too. I think she was probably practicing simple little spells while she was up in her room. Nothing major, just sparks or easy spells. I liked the show's little nod to it.

I was really excited about Sunset Shimmer's backstory and potential at the beginning of the film, but once you find out the writers aren't going to give us anything good with it, it was a little disappointing. She had so much potential but imo she's my least favourite.

Helping Twilight Win The Crown is a really wonderful song. But I looooove the remixed intro! It's so catchy.

Twice. That's not because I didn't like it though; on the contrary. I ended up wating forever to try it because I wasn't sure if I'd like it, and since that first time I just haven't really had the chance.

At first I was very against the whole thing. I didn't want them to change Twilight's personality. Then when I watched MMC I was a little more impressed (I loved the musical numbers; Celestia's song omg) but as it was so rushed I didn't have time to adjust. Once I watched the start of the fourth series though, I realised that everything was going to be fine. I think Twilight is great as an alicorn, she suits it now. She still has all the same little quirks that make her wonderful and it's been some good character development for her.

"Reformed" Discord is my favourite. He still keeps all his quirks, humour and mischief whilst pointing Twilight in the right direction. He doesn't give too much help which keeps with his character.

@@~Chaotic Discord~, Your posts in this thread make my brain so, so happy. I completely agree with you. That tree is clearly very ancient. I do wonder if Discord is as old as the tree, or if Discord's personification (dragonification) of Chaos is something which has been handed down to him, in a way. I always used to believe in my headcanon that Celestia and Discord were polar opposites. Celestia was the personification of Harmony and Discord the personification of Chaos. Celestia and Luna "rose up" to defeat him when he was already well-established, but (especially with the recent flashback proof) it is clear that Celestia and Luna were already alicorns and therefore already had strong magical prowess. They could (and I believe they are) as old as each other. If Celestia didn't create the Elements and apparently didn't have a hoof in creating them either, but merely borrowed them, it is a possibility that Discord is a result of some other, more ancient power, that he in turn "borrowed" or had bestowed upon him in some way. I know that it's a little far-reaching and I don't have anything to base this on other than my own personal head-canon, but I still love thinking of Celestia and Discord as being completely equal opposites and this enables me to continue doing so. Also, somepony else in this thread said that they thought Discord must know a lot about the Tree of Harmony. True, he planted Seeds of Doubt to try and destroy the tree, but I don't understand how he seemed oblivious to the Element's power before being turned to stone the first time.

I'd really love another Christmas episode. I bucking love Christmas. Or, if not Christmas, something wintery like Winter Wrap Up. I love occasions. <3

I never liked the first one, and the second was only slighty better, so this is my favourite so far. I thought the others were a little tacky, but this is sleek, beautiful and simple. It sums up our Twilight pretty well!
