A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

Wasn't there a similar character in G1 who also had some form of Mana Drain?
I'm kinda split on the openers. The original Discord episodes really set the bar high.

I know Twi saved her owl but I'd forgotten that Peewee had been Put on a Bus and spent a brief moment thinking she had left him for dead.
Even if he'd remained behind, Phoenixes have the whole coming back from the dead thing going for them.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiMLPs have been shown to have exceptional resilience to traumatization. See Shining and being Chrysalis' slave boytoy, Twi and essentially being stone dead for half of Staremaster or Cadance despite being beaten up and deposited underground for an undetermined length of time. Oh, or being constricted and locked down under changeling goo or even completely held in place within their pods. Not to mention just the fact that a the existence of a changeling army that can wear anyone's face and mind control any loved one of that particular person. Seriously, post-Canterlot Wedding alone proves that MLPs are made of some pretty stern stuff.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiEh, its a kids show. A little bit of Angst? What Angst? is expected.
Also, Discord giving Celestia flowers was cute.
At this point its probably ingrained in them that no matter how dire or horrible, any great pain or bad situation will soon be righted.
They have the Gospel of Harmony and a Quartet of Goddesses to insure it, who have done so time and time again; why WOULD they remain traumatized? Good is always restored in short order. It's probably no greater a trauma at this point then a particularly bad traffic jam on the way to work.
In other news, these episodes were AWESOME.A delicious finale.
I only wish that when Tirek got REALLY large it was accompanied by going One Winged Angel.

Check EQD; they have youtube links.
Also, random thing I noticed: when they go to the box for the last time, the tree isn't in the forest any longer. You think they cleared a path or something?

So were the other princesses PERMANENTLY depowered? If so that should go under Wham Episode too.
The Protomen enhanced my life.

G1!Tirek had baleful polymorph abilities instead of magic-draining. I'd say it was still just as horrifying to see the ponies forced to become monsters, though.
