But the ones in canterlot who salute don't. All of the ones saluting have either been earth ponies or unicorns, they've never had wings in those scenes.

I don't know if I'm gonna get hate for this or not cos I haven't read the other comments, but I just watched the episode and loved it. I cried at the halfway point. You go, Twilight. <3

Starswirl's spell was, i believe, meant to switch the destinies of whom it was cast upon. Hence, the whole conflict was to reverse Starswirl's spell that Twilight had accidentally cast.
"From one to another, another to one, a mark of one's destiny singled out, alone fulfilled"
Judging by the wording of the spell, I think the intention was to use the destinies of other ponies to accelerate the fulfillment of the caster's.
"From all of us together, Together we're friends, with the marks of our destinies made one, there is magic without end."
With Twilight's version, the intention is the same, but instead of trying to force it by stealing power from others, it's given freely.

Ahh, well thanks for clearing that up for me... I wonder if Starswirl wanted to switch his destiny with Celestia's and got found out... that would make a great fanfic! I still think the episode was mediocre at best, though.

She's already proficient at flying, apparently, since she did a loop in mid-air at the end.

It's just that Alicorn OCs are generally frowned upon because they usually 1: have horrible designs 2: Have no good explanation as to why they're an alicorn and 3: Are OP when RPing. I think the only good alicorn OC I've ever seen is one RunningWolf made, and he doesn't even use it.

Well, racism applies that one race is better than the others.
So, back to episode: I'm not thrilled that she turned into an Alicorn. They already have three, so why have any more? Are even numbers canon?

i dont agree completely because princess cadence and shining armor are married and twilight is shining armors sister and all the princesses are alicorns and princess cadence is now twilights sister so that makes twilight a princess therefor she is going to be an alicorn
also princes arent alicorns

So... Since Twilight is Shining Armor's sis, and all princesses are alicorns, and Princess Cadence is now Twilight's sister (which isn't true), Twilight is a princess, so she will be alicorn, but princessess AREN'T alicorns?
what.

Back to the topic of the episode, it's amazing that the happiness of Ponyville seems to depend entirely on Pinkie.
#446
Posted 19 February 2013 - 07:40 AM
Pinkie is Ponyville's largest producer of happiness. She has a monopoly.
I like the way the cutie marks were switched up. I don't think there's a better pattern:
- Rainbow Dash has the most low-maintenance pet (and only got it recently), and gets put in charge of the animals.
- Fluttershy, the shyest pony, is forced to be the center of attention.
- Rarity, who has described her creative process as organized chaos*, gets a job where the process matters as much as the end result.
- Applejack, the most fashion-adverse, has to make dresses.
- Pinkie Pie, who grew up on a rock farm, is completely stumped by a farm with crops and animals.
*So awesome that when the townsponies don't like the checkerboard sky, Rarity responds "too last season?" (Return of Harmony)
We're calling that place that Twilight ascended to the Celestial Plane, right? That's what I'm calling it. Also, it seems that Celestia left the Elements in Ponyville with the intention of causing the events of this episode. How long has she been planning this?
And then, for one of Derpy's final appearances in the series, she winks at the camera. But it's not a goodbye, it's more of a "my time here is done but I'll see you in the fan content."
Everything is going to be just fine.

It seems to me that was more of an anomaly than a canon character as of this point.

Yeah, it was out before S3 was premiered IIRC, if they were going to put it in the show they would have done it by now.

well this is on the wiki
"Princess Cadance is listed as possessing a seventh Element of Harmony, Love, in the 2012 My Little Pony trading cards. The element is also attributed to Shining Armor; the initial release additionally lists it as his pet."

Put Cadence and Shining Armor on a leash, and give the leash to him.
I'd like to see artwork of that ![]()
#469
Posted 23 February 2013 - 08:47 PM
So if love is Cadence's element, and it's also Shining's pet, does that mean he keeps her on a leash?
I'm going to try and draw this. Try.

Skip to the last part (around 2:53). Probably proof that Lauren Faust actually wanted Twilight to become an alicorn from the start?

I went to Fairycon today, and met a guy sometimes referred to as "The goth of Seattle" due to his constant appearances around here.
But here's the interesting thing: He spawned a theory: What if the blast from the Elements killed Twilight, and in the final moments of her mind she creates a series of events that would turn out best for her: Becoming an alicorn. In the afterlife she sulks in them, constantly creating more to defeat the fact that she is dead.
He was one amazing dude.
