I approve this as a joke. I disapprove this as a legitimate idea. |

A 'normal' earth pony like Pinkie Pie, is Trixie behind Pinkies power? |
| AdrianBrony #532275 9 months ago |
>implying earth ponies don't have magic that is less controllable and more subtle. |
| StreakTheFox #532281 9 months ago |

I understand the joke, but I do not understand the comments |

pretty much telling the magical pony to believe in god
SUBTLE yeah. . . this was the only weird episode in my opinion oh well, at least it had a Pokemon reference~ |

So... that's her secret?! |

I accept this as a better ending, and explaination, then the one the episode gave. |

I would have found this episode less irritating if the Pinkie Sense hadn't vanished forever upon conclusion of the episode. It was a dumb plot device. |

Ahaha. I like it. Took me a moment to get it though. |
| Trombe #533549 9 months ago |
This is better than the actual episode's ending. :T |

Yeah, they kinda botched the moral of the story. It's not that you should buy into New Age bullshit, it's that you should accept science despite its limits. No one knows why Pinkie Sense works, but they've shown that it works and how it works, and that's reason enough to duck and cover when her tail starts a-twitchin'. |

I took the moral to be that Bigfoot, Mothman, and aliens are real and if you don't believe in them they gonna come drop stuff on you and slam doors in your face. |
| Glord #533674 9 months ago |
I just had an idea.
Have an episode where they meet alien ponies. And Pinkie "borrows" one of their ships. |

#650 indeed, i can see both points, but the former is so much more present in the actions and the language they use so you really have to dig deeper if you want to know what they actually meant - unlike, like, all of the other episodes. Lawl. |

... wow, that message got corrupted somewhere along the way.
I think the intended message was "consider what others believe in, even if you don't personally believe it." Where the ateism VS dogma came from... huh? |
| Draconaes #534316 9 months ago |
I think the atheism vs theism thing came from lines like "sometimes you just gotta believe, even when you can't figure it out." Lines like that are often heard from theists in discussions about the topic. It's a kind of red flag for a lot of atheists (I know it is for me), even though it isn't inherently about religion.
Honestly, the episode seems to be less about belief and more about the fact that there are counter-intuitive truths that you might not be able to understand easily. It was criticizing closed mindedness and if anything was promoting empiricism, although I think it could have been presented better (Twilight's letter seems a bit convoluted to me.) |

Yep, works a lot better than, "it just happened for no reason believe in it." |

TRIXIE THIS WAS AN AWFUL PLAN
HOW WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO MAKE TWILIGHT LOVE YOU |
| Necroceine #537146 9 months ago |
It happened because Trixie is NEVER a better reason that it happened because Pinkie Pie.
How often do you hear Trixie used as an explanation compared to Pinkie Pie? |
