A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

@CDRW I can't imagine a naive everymare like Coco pulling a magical gambit like that. I do like the idea that those things are keys only because of what they mean to each mane 6 member.

Unless both Coco and Spitfire are members of the secret order of the Elements tree.

Which would be awesome. Pony Illuminati!

@Purple Could this mean Derpy is the leader personally assisting with the operation?

[up] wild mass guessIt would clearly be Celestia's doing, but Derpy would be the one who puts her plans into action.wild mass guess

Out of all the keys, I'm most curious about how Twilight will get hers. But we'll probably have to wait until the finale for that.

I'm more curious on how does she get to prove the right to that key with her vague element of magic.

@ Luminosity: Yeah, neither can I, which is why I think this idea makes so much more sense.

If Spitfire were a member of the Pony Illuminati, it might go a little way to redeeming her in my eyes. Probably not though. I'd much more likely start combing through all the episodes for evidence of how she singlehandely devolved the Illuminati into a pale imitation of what they should have been. tongue

So we're 10 episodes in and there's going to be what, probably 4 more key episodes and then a two parter finale related to the box plot. Seems like they're going to have to pick up the pace.

I love the idea of the Pony Illuminati thinking their super secret and then in the season finale Celestia's just like, "Oh, it's you guys. How are you?"

Oh, and Pinkie could nonchalantly mention she's a member with no explanation or buildup and then it's never mentioned again.

@Syd: Yeah, it makes more sense than coincidence or that Spitfire and Coco are pony Illuminati.

Also, regarding socks, I would be up for following that "only one at a time rule". The problem isn't so much that they're there so much as that as soon as one shows up like a bunch more immediately follow and it utterly derails everything. It's especially bad when it's a bunch of OC's, because that just detatches it from the actual show. If it's say, Twilight or Pinkie or whoever, at least then we could go the route of "talking" to them about the events of the episodes. But yeah, when it's stuff like two minor characters talking entirely about stuff that happens outside the context of the show it's kind of a pain to keep track of it all and I usually end up skipping it.

@Story: The key episodes generally aren't any different than regular episodes, so I doubt that that's a problem. It just means adding a gift into the end.

wild mass guessI believe that, when all of the "keys" are gathered, they will change into actual keys when they're brought together, or when they're brought to the box.wild mass guess

I think there's still some time... -whistles innocently as he readies a plushie of a pony- ...time for the key episodes to make it, presuming a 26-episode season.

Inside the box there's an IOU note from Discord.

Why does it look crappy? Why hatin' on Rainbow Power?

Hello? Non-show accurate models? Plus, I still think the episode that will market the Rainbow power will just be more commercialism.

I dunno, I feel like Dicsord would be more inventive than just leaving a note. I think he'd put in fake versions of the original elements or something.

Or he'd fill the box with bats so Twilight freaks out and runs away when she opens it.

Seriously though, I do think Discord has something to do with the box. He knows what's it it, at least. But he's not telling, naturally.
