Anything goes! (Some rules apply, see below)
This thread is for anyone to drop in and post whatever's on your mind right now,
Just about anything goes, so feel free to share your thoughts on an episode (or a tiny detail in one) or a character; share, review and discuss pieces of fan content you've seen, declare who the best pony is, describe what you've dreamt last night, and ask whatever you've been wondering about. Try to keep it pony related.
All sorts of ideas, thoughts and questions are welcome, from the brief to the in-depth, especially ones that don't really fit elsewhere at the moment but also don't warrant their own thread either.
Talk to each other! You'll find that sometimes asking further questions and bouncing ideas off one another can let a small thought blossom into something greater.
However, please respect the following: Refrain from posting about drama (IRL and online), political shit, baiting and starting/participating in shitflinging/ angry shouting matches. Also try and keep it low on moral or legal arguments, they never go anywhere.

Because alicorn Twilight in her base unicorn form grew up in Canterlot with Nightmare Moon being in moon jail and Princess Celestia as her teacher. Meanwhile Sci-Twi literally comes from the bad guy team the Shadowbolts at Crystal Prep High. Basically Sci-Twi has a fucking demon inside her while horse Twilight is well normal.

I love Glim's backstory. It's the most perfect light-hearted FiM-esque tragedy there is: losing a friend. And as someone who suffered hardships similar to her, Starlight's trauma is portrayed quite realistically. Starlight is a more down to earth Luna so to speak. Sunset's motivation is kind of a wet fart compared to the two, I at least felt bad for Starlight and Luna.
I love Starlight and Luna's guilt-focused redemptions much more too. Sunset's forgiveness redemption felt empty when the m6 forgave her, like who cares if the random ass npc students no one cares about hate you if the m6 forgave you instantly. Sunset failed to make me feel anything for her while Starlight and Luna are actually endearing.

You're retarded. Starlight didn't control Luna's actions, Luna's action was her own. Luna decided to kill billions on her own, not Starlight, Starlight just wanted equality for her town and that's it.
>>
>>
>>43171308
Starlight didn't tell Luna, Tirek, Discord, etc to kill billions. Starlight surrendered to Twilight specifically because Luna and etc wanted to kill billions, Starlight didn't want Luna killing billions of ponies.

>>43171327
NTA but having just watched it for the first time, she explicitly doesn't know that ruining Twilight's friendships would doom the world and she doesn't really believe it even after being shown one of the potential outcomes. That anon's wrong about Starlight surrendering specifically because of the potential outcomes of her actions, her surrender is entirely to do with Twilight convincing her that she'll be helped and cared for.

Starlight Glimmer is solely interested in getting revenge on Twilight and has no idea of the consequences nor does she care about them. That is not a defense of her, that's just accurately describing the episode.

She does care about the consequences since she surrenders precisely because of the the consequences. Starlight never intended to hurt the world, she only wanted to hurt Twilight in revenge for Twilight hurting her.

She doesn't reconsider things because of the consequences though, she reconsiders things because Twilight does all that Princess of Friendship talk.

>Starlight Glimmer: Ugh! What's so special about your friends?! How can a group of ponies that are so different be so important?!
>Twilight Sparkle: The differences between me and my friends are the very things that make our friendship strong!
>Starlight Glimmer: I thought Sunburst and I were the same. But we turned out different, and it tore our friendship apart!
>Twilight Sparkle: So try again! Make new friends! And if something that you can't control happens that changes things, work through it together! That's what friendship is! And it's not just my friendships that are important to Equestria! Everypony's are! When yours ended, it led us here. But just imagine all the others that are out there waiting for you if you just give them a chance!
>Starlight Glimmer: How do I know they won't all end the same way?
>Twilight Sparkle: I guess it's up to you to make sure they don't.
I get that you like Starlight and want her to be a good pony but the script is very clear about what motivates her to give up.
>>
>>43171354
It's not just biological but social too. Equestria isn't a consumerist nation like the US, they don't have 24/7 convenience stores and shit like that. There are only so many ponies working the graveyard shift. Luna chimping out is honestly stupid af.

Only someone who hates Starlight would misinterpret the show in such a fashion. I get that you hate that many people think Starlight has the best character development in the show but her fans believe that for objective reasons. Glimmy reasonably didn't believe what Twilight was showing her, was Celestia really that incompetent it seems so, the point of it was to disprove Starlight's ideology and that being special is actually important not just for ponies but for the timelines itself.
>>
>>43171406
Haha you're getting fucked by Braeburn. Really though I don't hate her, it's fine for her to not believe Twilight about the consequences given she says as much just before the quoted section of the script but that's exactly why you arguing that she was convinced to stand down because of the consequences doesn't make any sense to me. Her standing down isn't because she's convinced that the world will end if Twilight's friendships are destroyed, it's because she's convinced that friendship is still possible for her despite what she's gone through. Again, this is a very straightforward script.
>>
>>
>>
So do glimmerfags just universally ignore the part where she ran a cult where she dictated what everyone was allowed to do with their life even against their wishes, and held ponies hostage against their will and didn't allow them to leave? She's literally one step away from being straight up Charles Manson, and still mind controls people even after her redemption and no one cares about it.

Eh, I think some people genuinely do. She's a female villain who ends up becoming a good guy and is very sad about the bad things she did but also still acts kinda bad sometimes, tumblr people eat the reformed villain archetype up. It makes sense that she became a popular character.

I believe that she's questioning her resolve in that moment. However, after that moment she threatens to permanently change the timeline and is talked down by the above conversation which, again, is centered on the fact that she isn't doomed to never have true friendships, because that's the thing she cares most about in that moment. If Twilight hadn't said the right things she would've torn the spell up and the permanent consequences would've taken place, she had not set a moral line at the moment in your gif.
>>
>>43171477
>>43171478
If it wasn't a moral line then she wouldn't have surrendered to Twilight at all, she was never going to rip the spell so matter what platitudes Twilight spouted. That scene represented her moral dilemma and she chose friendship over revenge.

I already had a feeling Starlight was an altruistic pony just from the premiere by itself because of her ideology, but this moment solidified my feelings. This was when her entire world view was shattered, the truth completely upended everything she believed in. She genuinely wanted a better world for ponies and I think that's why Twilight wanted to make Starlight her student, she had the right mindset to make Equestria a better place as a potential princess should, but also because Starlight reminds Twilight a little bit about herself and how much friendship means to others like Twilight learned from Moondancer.

Ultimately I don't hate Glimmyfags because you're no more prone to imagining a better character than any other form of waifufag. Dashfags insist that Rainbow Dash is always loyal if you look at her character the right way, Rarityfags insist that Rarity's always generous if you look at her character the right way, you're all allowed to insist that Starlight Glimmer has always had a strong moral core and was just led astray by her grief even if I personally disagree with your view of the character. It's just the nature of this kind of show, the writing's sloppy so people fill the holes and inconsistencies with what they want to see.

Everyone does it! If you wanna like a character in a show this sloppy you have to sand off the edges in your head, it's just how it works. That's part of why background mares have become such a big thing, there's no edges to round off so it's just pure comfy goodness with no friction coming from the show depicting the character in a negative light (intentionally or otherwise).

It's not for a logical reason. Most likely she was just brutally fed up of playing second fiddle to Celestia, having the lesser court during the night and having virtually no one appreciate her nights due to everypony being asleep. This and as some fanon the idea of Celestia being less mature early on into her reign and rubbing it in she was the older sister and big important princess or something.

I genuinely despise that 80% of this board is nothing but image-dumping with no text. It's gotten to the point where I will see greentexts "drowned out" by a wall of screencaps or edited lewd artwork in certain generals. All that an image-dumper has to do is give a (You) to the creatives and a simple "nice!" and that would make the board a little more lively beyond obvious shitposting. Yet, that minor effort seems to be beyond the ken of the person(s) who have nothing better to do than make a textless repost of a repost of a repost! I hate it!

I wonder how it would have been if we got a Season with a Sonic Prime situation where, rather than being erased the alternative timelines started interacting with each other, causing chaos and struggle for power. Have actual, physical, lasting consequences for Starlight recklessly messing with time itself, have other characters confront their own selves, have characters interact with their alternative selves and face facts about themselves that make them uncomfortable and so on. Also, you know, cool clone fights.

You're free to feel that way, the question then is why she decided to get closer to destroying it by ripping it further after she had this paradigm shift you described in a previous post. I see only two options but I'd rather hear your genuine perspective rather than force you into an even more defensive position.
>>
>>43173505
Ripping the scroll doesn't kill the spell, Nonny.
>>43173520
You're not being very subtle. You aren't looking for my perspective, you just resorted to pedantry like some kind of gotcha in absence of any substance. Anons already explained in the thread anyway.
>>
>>43173590
>Ripping the scroll doesn't kill the spell, Nonny.
If the spell completely tears it will, I'm not sure if it's explicitly said or not but that's certainly the tension device the episode is using.
>You aren't looking for my perspective, you just resorted to pedantry like some kind of gotcha in absence of any substance.
I was annoyed with you because it felt like you were being an obnoxious pedant yourself. If you want to have a genuine discussion then I'd love to have that, but it requires both of us to take a step back and get back to taking eachother's perspective seriously. So, seriously: from your perspective, why does Starlight Glimmer rip the spell further in that moment?
>>
>>
>>
>>43173590
The scroll is very clearly important. If it wasn't, there wouldn't be so much focus on it's destruction being a bad thing. Either the scroll itself is magical in some way, or the words on it are needed to cast the spell. No matter how the scroll functions, Twilight, and by extension Equestria would be fucked if Glimmer destroyed the scroll. Without the time travel spell, Twilight functionally has no way to undo Glimmer's meddling.

Yeah, that was one of the two options I'd considered, her ripping it further to try and maximize leverage is definitely a possibility. She does rip it further still once she's crying though, during the line
>Starlight Glimmer: I thought Sunburst and I were the same. But we turned out different, and it tore our friendship apart!
which makes me think she's not really doing it intentionally, it's more of an outburst of emotion. It's understandable, of course, this is the moment where her beliefs are completely falling apart and she's having a breakdown over it, but it does make me feel that if things had gone a little differently she would've torn the spell in two, likely by accident.

It has its utility. The benefit of using ponies is that much is already understood about them, but the setting is also open-ended enough to explore. They can help you empathize with characters, they can help explain away things like magic, they can offer justification to ignore things like cars and irl politics. Like anything else, they are a tool, and tools can be used competently or incompetently.
>>
>>43173969
I feel like ponies are inherently a little alien. It leaves you with three options: make a story that matches their strangeness, tell a story about pony-shaped humans and blur the mismatch by tripling the dose of horse puns, or drive your readers insane on purpose by doubling down on making them act like humans (make sure to name your protag Stan).

Yea it's quite unambiguous that she was in a distressed state of denial upon seeing something so unbelievable and she had no reason to trust her enemy, the episode was very clear about that. That's an expression of a pony in deep hurt and contemplation. Starlight was a very compelling villain with a depth others lacked, I greatly appreciate emotionally charged scenes like this and I wish Luna had a fraction of the love that went into Starlight because I love Luna too and I think they have a lot of similarities.
The s5 finale had a lot of memorable scenes like that, coupled with the excellent writing that ties it all together, I can feel all the heart and soul that went into episode. The moment where Glim accepts Twi's hoof is my personal favorite, it's truly where the magic of friendship shined the brightest in the show. A mare that used to not care about friendship grows into a fine princess with the empathy to understand others to help give hope to a poor broken-hearted mare desperate for friendship.

Season 5 finale is the best two parter by far in my opinion, followed by S6 finale and S2 premiere. I don't know what exactly prompted the sudden change but the writing instantly got better after S4 then it drops like a cliff again in S8.

McCarthy unfortunately focused on fanservice, that's why her seasons feel soulless. You immediately see it in ACW when she completely forgets she wrote Lesson Zero, she just wanted to impress bronies with an evil edgy race threatening Equestria, look at the m6 go they can fight off bugs trained since birth to be warriors! She literally only reformed Discord in one of the stupidest ways just because fans liked Q. What I hated most is how she pandered to the stupid animefags treating Twilight and Trixie as magical rivals turning Trixie OOC.

Absolute schizopost ahead:
I wish that the Mane Six failed to defeat Nightmare Moon back in S1. They gathered the Elements, proved that they were worthy to use them, but their friendship wasn't strong enough to utilize them to their fullest extent. I would have liked them to fire the rainbow laser, only for NMM's Zettai Ryouiki to withstand the assault. Have all six of the mares legitimately panic because what was supposed to work, didn't. Then, when NMM is about to obliviate them, Celestia arrives on the scene and does to NMM what she did to the mane six, which is effortlessly stop her attack, and then use -her own power- to defeat NMM and bring back Woona. This time, instead of Woona apologizing, have Celestia be the one profusely apologizing and begging for forgiveness for what she did in the past leading up to NMM, and then for the banishment itself. After getting it, and the mares question why they're even needed when Celestia could solve the problem by herself, Celestia could answer that she's recognized Twilight's growth is stagnating without actually going out, making friends, and learning to work with others. This was the first time Twilight ever failed, and Twilight could speak up and admit she finally realizes just how much more she needs to learn. With Celestia's assurance that she'll always be there whenever Twilight needs her, but encouraging Twilight to start to rely on her friends instead of her teacher, we'd establish the conceit of the show.
The reason that I want this is three-fold:
1) Set up the potential for what the Mane Six COULD be if they strengthened their friendship. They all learn in the opening they have the potential to become something greater, and they learn they can achieve it by working together. The interpony conflicts they have going forward are tied in to the establishing thesis that friendship is magic, but friendship can be difficult, and it requires real effort. The Mane Six don't magically become friends right from the start. They also have an established dynamic: AJ's and Rarity's indifference to the point of frustration, Fluttershy and Rainbow being childhood friends despite opposite personalities, Pinkie being an optimistic outsider, and Twilight being a skeptical one. Together this makes it so that when they actually manage to defeat Discord in S2, it's not a foregone conclusion because they so easily bodied NMM. There's more tension.
2) I'm one of many who doesn't appreciate how weak Celestia is. She has no feats. Showcasing how powerful she's become after 1,000+ years to the point where she can easily beat and banish just NMM without also losing Luna without needing the Elements establishes just how "beyond" she is. Then, having her ask for forgiveness shows that she's only as wise as she is because of the numerous mistakes she's made throughout her long life. She's not perfect.
3) It absolved Luna of her "sins". Celestia's (in)actions pushed Luna to NMM. That's a statement of fact.
>>
>>43175631
I agree that, if they were writing the whole show out ahead of time, it would've been a slam dunk to have the Mane Six unable to defeat their first villain. I get why it happened the way it did but I would've really liked them to fall short.
>>
>>43175524
I don't have too much problem with the fact that they were the easy way out for the changelings, though I understand why people wouldn't like it, it most certainly would have been much more interested if they found ways to balance and control their hunger for love, rather than this quick fix.
My big problem is how... "ponyfied" they are. Not just in their designs, but also in their society. The only way to be better, apparently, is to be more pony-like. Much like the School of Friendship it has this white-saviour-like feeling and (ironically, despite introducing more complex character designs in both quantity and quality) very uncreative.
Also, in a way I guess this is kind of fitting considering the changelings are basically g-rated succubi and succs are usually written as either cartoonishly evil and irredeemable murderwhores or super saccharine mary sues. The changelings essentially transitioned from the first, with Chrysalis being as generic a villain as they come and rest of the changelings being a nameless horde of literal drones, to the latter, completely losing their weaknesses and becoming complete pacifist, except when the plot demands it, in which case they go back to being one of them most dangerous species on not just Equestria, but the whole Earth.

What the fuck are kirin even supposed to be and why do they look like ponies? Are they another tribe of ponies? A subrace of unicorns? Dragon/pony hybrids? A completely seperate species that just happens to look like ponies? At least we're told that draconquui are supposed to have a pony's head and the changelings have an origin story that ties them to ponies in the very questionably canon IDW comics.

The way you write I'm not sure you know this, but kirin are a real-world mythological animal from chinese folklore; they're supposed to be dragon-deer and are a positive omen akin to unicorns. Their manes and scale pattern definitely come from chinese dragons. I think the writers imagine them to be a distant pony relative since they're minimally deerlike, but there were already budgeting problems with the kirin design process so maybe they had bigger plans that never saw the light of day.
>>
>>43175874
I know they come from mythology and that they're often depicted very horse-like, but you'd think that would be notable in a show about ponies, especially considering that when discussing the pony tribes they are NEVER mentioned.
>>
>>43175524
+ "Changelings can change" is both poetic and entomologically accurate.
- The new design is not as bad as some might say, but it is still tackier than it had to be, and the old deisgn sets the bar very high. The only bug who wasn't going to get any less tidy under the transformation is Chrysalis because she always looked overdesigned.
- They should be more aware of, and much more scared of, their capacity for change. What do you mean they didn't know the whole hive can go skittle in a chain reaction? This is retarded, of course they knew. Everything about them is unreliable and they hate it.
- It's hard to put my finger on it, but there's something cruel about the way their hippy bullshit was depicted.

Speaking of Draconequui, why are they called like that? I mean, I get the "equus" in draconequus most likely stands for equine, because they always have the head of a pony, but the rest of their parts are supposed to be random, yet "dracon" part implies they're draconic. I know the meta reason is that Discord was originally supposed to be a mix dragon and horse and they only added other animals parts later, but there's no in-lore reason, even in the IDW comics were we got to see more draconequui, because there's no guarantee they'll have ANY dragon parts.
>>
>>43176166
My fudged explanation is that ponies used to have two categories for creatures, equines (creatures that are pony-like, like zebras and donkeys) and dragons (creatures that are very un-pony-like) because of minimal exposure to all the different odd creatures out there. Then later the Draconequus name no longer made sense but they stuck with it, as is the story with a lot of taxonomy.

They didn't dismiss it though. They did actually listen to her, Twilight was just handling the situation really badly.

I think it would have been interesting if Luna was trying to lie to herself that Nightmare Moon was something possessing her or an alter ego, like Sci-Twi did with Midnight Sparkle and not just her crashing out.

That's why I think RoH is meh. The m6 are only acting retarded because of Discord's mind control, they're not naturally encountering and overcoming any kind of character flaw, none of them are learning more about friendship with each other.
NMM being a real part of Luna makes her so much more endearing and sympathetic, and adds legitimacy to her guilt. She feels bad because she was a bad pony and realized that's not who she wanted to be and worked to change that. Which is vastly better than feeling bad just because something controlled her out of her control and she was actually perfect the whole time.

I like to think that NMM's different look is like a defense mechanism to ward off opponents. Like a cat puffing up. Either way, I agree with reduced agency generally being dogshit.

It was both but him being able to force Fluttershy at least partially negates the idea that it's their character flaws. We don't know how much of their 'discordation' was character flaws or Discord himself.
I just rewatched RoH this morning and it was not as good as I remember it being. They made some strange decisions writing it. Still liked it though, mostly because of Discord himself.

Pinkie and AJ at least have the beginnings of their discordification being a result of underlying insecurities they have. Rarity's just doesn't make sense to me, RD's has her being short sighted and dumb to borderline retarded levels, and Fluttershy is just outright forced into it like you said. It's weird how the managed to do a decent job for Pinkie and AJ, but then every other M6 just falls flay on why they're corrupted. Like those were the first two they thought of and planned out the best, but then all the others were done in a half-assed rush.

Hey Joe, feeling sleepy?
Yeah, Pinkie and AJ's corruptions were the best done (outside of Twilight's, but she got a whole episode). Even then, I find the whole corruption thing kind of... lackluster? Like AJ sees her friends splitting apart, and immediately decides to lie about every little thing? Except for Rainbow Dash flying away for some reason. And Pinkie jumps right into arguing and confronting other ponies. I would have preferred a slower corruption that gets worse as the episodes progress.

I searched the catalog and didn't really find a relevant thread so I guess I'll ask here:
I'm trying to get back into mlp, last I watched was like 2011-13, up through season 2 and a little ways into season 3
I plan on binging all 9 seasons here soon, but I'm aware there's some humanized pony movies or something, and a CG series? the next gen mlp?
does any of the non mlpfim stuff tie into the actual lore? is it spinoff shit? can I ignore them? they honestly seem kinda shit but I don't really know anything about either
also is there anything else I'm missing? I did actually see that mlpfim movie too several years ago and it's got some pretty good songs
also I'm two new computers removed from my old mlp reaction folder so any good images are appreciated I no longer have any

You can ignore Equestria Girls if you're not interested, it's a spinoff and doesn't get directly referenced by Friendship is Magic. The next generation can also be ignored if you're not interested, some people like it but a lot of people don't.

fim has some small references to eqg, but nothing really important. you can safely ignore it. most of this board already does. g5, being a sequel, has no bearing on what came before it, and can also safely be ignored, which again, most of the board already does.
>also is there anything else I'm missing?
the two non-seasonal specials; the best gift ever and rainbow roadtrip. they aren't "important" in that you don't need to watch them to understand anything in fim, but they're a lot less removed from the show than most supplementary material.
there's also the comics of dubious canonicity, and the novels most of this board probably doesn't even know exists. once again, most of the board ignores these.
