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!

I was speaking hypothetically.

You do realise he can't see that?

It's Rainbow Dash surrounded by electricity and with glowing eyes, playing a guitar slamming into the ground with a sonic rainboom-like shockwave. Also, she has wings, similar to the half pony forms from the end of the first movie.

Guys? Is this relationship status permanent or is it just for Valentine's?

Presumably it will be going away after Valentine's. I highly doubt it will stay.

So, I gather that the ending of EQG made the human world magical? It'd be kind of interesting if they leverged that into sort of a magical girl setup, with Twilight as the out-of-universe mentor figure. Their Zordon, if you will.

Unless there's a timeskip, Twilight "Prime" won't be returning to Canterlot High anytime soon. Then again, I have a feeling the writers don't have a strong grasp of the passage of time...

Given that the first three seasons supposedly took place over a year, I don't think they give a crap.

Oh, they could figure something out. If not a physical appearence, then through a scrying spell so she could talk to them.

The first movie did mention an EG-verse Twilight existed in some capacity. So it's possible we're dealing with her, here?

Which would be... difficult to reconcile, admittedly. How do you have a familiar face act like a newcomer and not have it feel unnatural?

Well a human twi's in the promo right? I'm honestly more interested in how sunset Shimmer's getting into the plot here. Reformed, part of the rival band, or reluctantly siding with our heroines.

Hey, they need someone to be the Opposing Sports Team Band who gets soundly crushed when the competition occurs and the main characters all pull together.

Where the heck did that come from? What little evidence we have strongly incidates that multiple years have passed.

@Dark; There are no ponies in the trailer. We only see Twilight during the singing portions in her stage outfit, not that opening scene with the Humane 5 in their regular outfits practicing. She's shown with wings, like Twilight Prime in the previous movie's climax. So...human Twilight ascends to "alicorn"-hood much quicker than Unicorn Twilight? :P

Sunset Shimmer (or Flash & Spike for that matter) don't appear at all, though its a pretty short teaser and I bet Hasbro has some kind of mandate that the Mane Six be up front and center for promotional stuff. And Vinyl Scratch, for some reason.

@story. The big thing is noting it's the first time Luna's participated in the Summer Sun Celebration. I mean you could say she was too shy and awkward to participate in a few others the last few years, but that seems unlikely.

I think what would be neat is if each of the EQG bands represented a generation of MLP.

Like a G1 band could be 80s rock, a G2 band could be a 90s indie band, and a G3 band is a 2000s pop band.

@Story: It's never stated outright, but the first episode of S4 implies that this is the first Summer Sun Celebration Celestia's attended after Luna was freed. Celestia Basically says that she's glad she can finally enjoy the thing, since before it always reminded her of Luna. It's not definite, but it's odd that she'd mention it like that if more than one have happened.

Either that or pony years are just longer than human years.

[up]The problem with that is that the G4 team would have to what's popular today. Unless they make them a Daft Punk group, but that's unlikely given the target audience.

@ JT: I also got the impression from PTS that only a year had passed since the pilot. It's a definite "Huh? Wha?" situation for me.

Yeah, I had assumed a sort of rough 1 season = 1 year approach. Though it does explain why the CMC don't have their cutie marks yet.
