Maybe the two alicorns aren't Celestia and Luna, but ancestors before them. |
| AdrianBrony #431600 10 months ago |
then again, outside of the storybook, celestia has never been noted to have pink hair exclusive;y. she has 4 colors, one of which is pink, and another of which is that color. they are both just as close to the real celestia in show, so it could still be celestia. |

^That. Lots of sense. |

I was hoping young celestia had a pink mane but also a more pink-colored coat :( (not as pink as her toys but y'know..) |
| feather #431638 10 months ago |
But the other Alicorn in the stained glass is WAY off color to be luna. I don't think one can assume the colors on the stained glass represent anything close to what the sisters looked like 1000+ years ago. The story book opening to season 1, though, had both Luna and NMM fairly spot on, but gave Celestia pink hair. So you have to change your mythbuster thingie to "Inconclusive" at best. |

No, the black alicorn resembles Luna MORE than the white one Celestia.
More than that, Lauren said she never developed idea of parents and Amy confirmed there is no parents in s02. |

I demand screen caps comparing this, season 1's opening story and when she "takes on full responsibility" |

You don't have to be related to rule before somepony. |
| feather #431688 10 months ago |
um, what? that response makes no sense . . . the black alicorn doesn't resemble luna at all. The colors here aren't real-life in any way. The Mare in the Moon openning, meanwhile, her colors are pretty much exactly right, as are NMMs. (I've been working with these color pallettes for weeks). The window has no bearing on the Sister's pallette . . . |

Stained glass is always different from reality it's like surrealism. |

I can see colors, thanks. If you may notice, the illustrations in s01 didn't resemble Celestia at all (pink hair). Also, if you take a look @ NMM on leaked screenshot you will see her mane is a different colors as well. It differs from the stylized illustrations and from the in-show model. I'm not studying "color pallets" but even I can see that. |
| feather #431764 10 months ago |
right but the illustrations for NMM and Luna resemble the in-show models very well. the implication being that before banishing Luna, Celestia had pink hair, and sometime after it became rainbowy, in the same way NMM's went Nebulous compared to Luna. |
| Kein #431774 10 months ago |
And the implication busted by this stained glass, because it represents the times LONG before Luna's possession, times when there was a Discord.
Read: times long before history described in s01. And Celestia has here GREEN hair. |
| Ping_chan #431780 10 months ago |
Wow everypony, have it ever occurred to you that Celestia and Luna could, if they wanted to, change their colors to suit their desires? Why would Celestia and Luna want to remain the exact same color for over a thousand years? Also the story book ponies and stained glass ponies may not accurately resemble the real things, for the purpose of telling a story, they just have to resemble them.
I don't know how many Alicorns, or what ever their accurate name for being a really really powerful unicorned pegasus god-like pony is, have existed in their history, but if there were only two, Celestia and Luna, you could probably color them vaguely, or vary a little in their coloration, and most ponies would still recognize which one is which... it would be just like taking artistic liberty in drawing a exaggerated Abraham Lincoln, and most people now would recognize who he is... Some ponies just read too much into simple stain glass... lets all just wait patiently for Season 2 to air... |
| feather #431793 10 months ago |
I'm reading you perfectly, kein, but you're not listening to me. the colors there are no where NEAR right for Luna. In the storybook they're almost dead on. Conclusion: the stained glass is nowhere near accurate colorwise. |
| Lockstep #431797 10 months ago |
The white pony has the sun above it, and it can be assumed that the moon is below the dark pony. |
| Lockstep #431803 10 months ago |
Though, considering the waves, the alicorns could control "wind" and "water." Meh, I won't make assumptions--it's best just to wait for an answer. |
| Kein #431807 10 months ago |
@feather
Yet as I said, the dark alicorn's color scheme resembles Luna's colors more accurately while white one differs way to much. From <pink to green> - this is a very big offset, compare to <dark blue-> violet>. Which implies it is a different color, not just messed up colors. Also, illustration colors in s01 never were close to on-models colors. Yet we all know those are Sisters. This illustration represents them as well. |
| Kein #431821 10 months ago |
Anyway, only 12 days left. We can just wait and see :P
I wonder which portion of all those speculations would be correct. it was fun tho. |
| feather #431831 10 months ago |
I'm not saying this isn't them, I'm saying the colors aren't accurate. |
| feather #431839 10 months ago |
^^ lol in all honesty, I doubt we'll EVER know canonically if her hair changed or not :P the images we have are made by artists, possibly hundreds of years after the fact. |

Luna was the one sent to the moon. They are not ancestors. |

I'm pretty sure the colours are off because of the blue glow in this scene. |
