^ Season finale synopsis revealed! At first I didn't really understand how this tied to anything about a Princess coronation, but here's my possible theory:

 

Some character (I have no idea who) will be being coronated, when twilight somehow uses that spell, which makes her destiny become that of the princess being coronated.

 

We'll have to watch and see what exactly happens, but I'm definitely excited for an episode for the first time in a while.

 

EDIT: I just found the perfect comment that describes exactly what I meant by my theory on reddit:

 

Everyone can breathe a huge sigh of relief after reading this synopsis.

If Twilight is changing cutie marks and destinies, then it falls well within the realms of possibility that she swaps horns and wings as well. If, somehow, she winds up with Celestia, Luna, or Cadance's destiny, then she ought to temporarily acquire their wings for the episode.

Magical mystery cure = Magical mystery tour?

Anyway, let's just hope that Twilight will not be a princess and a Alicorn, but it seems very interesting.

Yes, this is totally a Beatles reference.

My theory is that Twilight changes destinies not with a new princess, but with Celestia. Meaning that the princess coronation refers to Twilight herself accidentally becoming princess.

I was extremely worried when I heard about alicorn Twilight, but now that I've read this synopsis I'm much more ok with this, and I'm actually looking forward to this episode. :)

And this seems like something the writers would do, not something Hasbro would force them do it against their will to sell toys.

So it is like a body swap episode?

Not body swap, just powers, cutie marks, and wings swap.

 

But know that I think about it, Jasplosion's theory seems to make much sense if you remember back to the first and second episodes:

"She will succeed, and when she does, we'll know she's that much closer to being ready" and the book at the end.

That may mean she's ready to learn the spell to transform a pony into a princess. Things go wrong, and she becomes the princess herself. Because I don't think they would teach her to transform ponies into a princess just because.

Because characters based on toys are terrible. Look at Cadence and Shining Douche. Cadence has no notable character flaws, plus her design isn't particularly imaginative. Shining Douche; again no character flaws and has the voice of a stereotypical surfer and has a background that reeks Gary Stu (Captain of the Royal guard, sibling of the main character, married to a princess, etc).

Obviously Twilight will become an alicorn.  None of us will like this but it's how the show will end.  I'm guessing no new seasons after this one too.

Did read anything? the synopsis of the episodes is she finding a CURE to NOT be a princess. Are you saying she fails and the show ends on that bad note?

Apparently you are not aware that Season 4 has already been confirmed.

If she's getting her destiny swapped, it's likely that it's with a princess, and that's how she becomes a temporary alicorn.

Think of it this way: Twilight tries some sort of spell but messes up and ends up casting a spell that covers the whole of Equestria switching everyponys destiny and there cutie mark I.E: Derpy becomes a Unicorn or Earth Pony and gets a different job. Say...one of those snobby Canterlot high class ponies? And Twilight has to (temporarily) live as the princess trying to come up with a cure that sets everything to be normal again.

 

Make sense?

I know they already added a third alicorn, but that was just kind of stepping on the idea of only two. Adding a fourth one is just pushing it down the drain with a mop. Oh and I don't understand how you can't trust  a website solely dedicated to TV listings.

Chrys isn't a pony, she's a Changeling. So not an alicorn, because if you put it that way every changeling is an alicorn since they all have wings and a horn.

im thinking, after reading you amasing theories,

 

twillight switches with celestia, and has no idea how to use her powers, they are too strong and she keeps stuffing up, the princesses might both become foals/fillies with no cutie marks and the cmc get their cutie marks :3 (truth, the ad shows it's gonna happen with them being in it.)

 

best ideas here:

 

fandom with split in two...

 

and oh, yes, there will be skyla, maybe she switches with her?

but here is another thing too,

season 4 is sea ponies. XD

Skyla to me, is the child of Cadence... I dunno. That's what I think. It fits a random alicorn. Either that or it's a completely separate toy just for sales purposes. I don't think the CMC will be in the episode. Somehow they don't seem related as they don't even have cutiemarks yet. How could they switch them if you don't have one? I'm just going off the info we have as of now.

 

I'm stoked to see how BA Twilight really is.

Not really. You fail to remember that her OCD'ness and her studiessness is, at times, her downfall. Such as, ignoring Spike when he went to live with AJ.

 

I would say she is relatively close, but not enough to call her a Mary Sue.

twillight replaces celestia o-o

 

they KNOW.

 

ok, my other theory is:

 

twillight is in canterlot one day, she finds luna's dark magic book lying around, and she decides to go and read it.

she goes through it and sees a legend of a cutie mark changing spell, she reads it alloud and she doesn't realise until it's too late, that she is using her magic to altar everypony's cutie marks/and bodies.

she looks out a window and sees ponies with blank plots everywhere.

she runs outside in fright, looks back at her cutie mark and it has not changed since she is the person who conjured the spell.

she is mortified and quickly runs to celestia, celestia is not at her throne, she is in hospital.

luna walks out, coming from the moon back from a special trip of hers, and realises everyone's cutie marks have changed.

luna looks at twillight and realises that she has not changed at all.

"what did you do?" luna asks

"i....i looked through.... your book... of dark magic..."

(this is turning into a story!!!!!)

luna sighs and concludes that they need to go to celestia.

 

they go to celestia, a foal with no cutie mark and they ask her what to do,

luckily celestia's mind has not changed and she still has all her knowledge and says, 

"twillight has to become an alicorn to solve this issue, i cant do anything, you can't either luna, only the mane 6 can do it. but she needs a huge power sourse to fuel the whole of equestria. I have no more of my power. i have no cutie mark. do it luna, change her" celestia says.

 

Luna looks cross at celestia and starts to conjure up a huge amount of magic, shifting the universe under the amount of it.

she aims at twillight, and then twillight starts to turn into an alicorn.

"now go twilight, with the mane 6 and turn back all this"

twillight leaves.

"she doesn't know she wont find the right mane 6. they are scattered"

 

THE END. SHE HAS A WHOLE SEASON TO FIND THE NEW MANE 6.

What reassured me is this:

 

"What we didn’t want to do was change who she is as a character, because she’s certainly someone that everyone’s proud to know and love"

 

At least they aren't changing who she is. That's everyone's main issue.

I knew from the very first time I heard the rumours of alicorn Twilight many months ago that she'd basically remain Twilight.

 

But the main issue that everyone has is how will they handle these physical changes in future episodes?

 

Power of flight isn't too much of a big deal, but more so is what magical powers she gains, if any, out of this?

 

These could serve as a convenient deus ex machina for Twilight to use in future episodes, or maybe she'll never use her alicorn related powers outside of this episode.

I won't mind it that much, as long as her powers don't become show-breaking, I'm fine with it being permanent even.

Quoting this article, I read it and found a few things that are interesting:

 

1. They are keeping twilight who she is.  +1

2. Using it as a toy line.                           +-1 (depends on your point of view)

3. Writers are hard at work on story arching and tying it all together   +1

4. Staying true to the friendship aspect/lessons   +1

5. Robotic Twilight toy is about $50                        -1

6. She does not abandon her friends and "break the show"   +over 9000

 

It sounds like McCarthy and crew are going about this correctly.

Guys, don't freak out. Whatever is going to happen will happen. In all seriousness though, debate to your heart's content, it never ceases to amuse me. If only you all can see that things are somewhat inevitable and you cannot do a thing to prevent them from occurring. Not to say that all of you can't do this, but there are a lot of you who practically seem to want to break into The Hub Central Broadcasting Center and prevent the next episode from being aired. Sit back people, and relax. Because it is just a show after all. You might even enjoy yourself.

Tell that to the audience on EqD. They are the main ragers along with 4chan "bronies" if they're anyting at all. However, most of the people they asked on EqD said that they didn't care if Twi became alicorn. As long as there was more pony, they would be content.

Don't think that the above paragraph relates to any of you on Brohoof, but if it does, yell at me if you must. I will find it hilarity in your argument.

But I do agree with you Golfie, however I daren't set my hooves upon 4CHAN ground. It is a cursed place.

This may be the part in the timeline of the fandom where we weed out the 'purists' or the closed minded. Honestly, I have no clue what the correct terms would be. Everyone is running around like a chicken with their head cut off.

What I've been saying is that nobody should scream/panic/run around like a headless scootaloo because it achieves nothing. Frankly, the episode will air and not a single brony can prevent it from happening, so why get worried about it?

It does, however, sadden me that bronies have had such a prevalent impact on the actual show. It seems as though their idealisms have been imprinted into the way each episode gets made. I preferred the show when its demographic wasn't aiming at teens and older people. But I'm still going to ignore the differences and continue to enjoy the show.

I trust McCarthy and the writing squad implicitly with my favorite pony :3 I've loved Twilight from the start. From the article I quoted from before, she is making sure the same Twilight comes out and doesn't get all power hungry and whatever.

 

Personally, I think they'll do a great job. We'll just have to see if i'm correct.

 

People might get alicornitis and start hating Twilight though... :`c

Here's what I don't get about the ragers' claims.  How does turning into an alicorn/winged unicorn automatically grant you all these magical powers?  It's just a pair of wings; doesn't Twilight still have to learn these spells (or create them, which might be even harder)?

Actually, I took a look at EqD comments section (which is a mile long) There are actually relatively few hatred posts. People seem to be grasping the idea better than they used to at about episode 5 range. But there are still the people who think that their favorite pony should have gotten the alicorn status.

Alicorn confirmed as "status" and not actual race.

 

Pony political polls reel in light of this news, stock markets crash as friendship is proven to not be a form of magic as was previously theorized.

 

Celestia was quoted as saying "Get that goldfish out of your nose and watch the show"

 

Rumors abound that Rommney might be running for Princess in the next election.

 

Pony pundits scratch their heads and comment "I don't really know whats going on but it scares the rock I hide under"

 

The world ends not with a bang but with the sounds of business shoes shuffling out of the boardroom.

I really don't understand how anything could classify as "show breaker" since this show does keep to the "status quo" in favour of any long lasting character development.

 

So I think we are fine and can curl up with the knowledge that the writers will play it safe and no change will ever happen.

 

Welcome to purgatory.

I know a lot of people right now are pointing fingers at me. Yes, I was the main user crusading trying to prove the rumors wrong. And while I admit I was wrong to some extent, I still strongly believe in the main thing I was trying to get across in the other thread, that letter was a troll.

 

I just can't really see how Hasbro would make such a decision just so they can sell ONE toy. Time and time again we have been proven by Hasbro and DHX how much they support us, like Derpy in The Last Roundup for example. We are definitely WAY past "just a couple of grown watchers" and they know that.

 

Now that I see this synopsis, I am much more happy with how they are going to handle the alicorn Twilight thing. I am actually looking forward to this episode now.

Keep in mind that Tara is known for trolling her fans on Twitter; she admits to joking around.  When she does tweet serious stuff, it's usually about some of the more pressing issues at the moment, like Kiki and her love for kids with Asperger's Syndrome.

I'm waiting for the results of this episode and what fanfics will burn or not o3o

Maybe they hunt down in a large group in season 4 to find replacements?

Maybe twillight solves the issue with her new powers?

Question is, what will the new intro be like?!
