I've been trying really hard to not get spoiled about the finale and I don't like all the teasers that are being released ahead of time.
Still seeing the model for Candence this was my first thought

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
pony fun fact.
neither flank nor plot are actual terms for an equine's behind.
Flank is actually the sides of a pony, the unribbed area between the chest and the hind legs.
Plot are not horse related at all."Winning with friendship means winning at life!"

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
I would counter that the definition of "spoiler" seems to be expanding rather moronically to anything-even-remotely-about-the-episode-including-its-title. Mind you that's not a personal jab or anything or even confined to ponythread. However there seems to be absolutely no differentiation between entirely nessecary marketing to draw people in and build excitement... and letting everyone know that Darth Vader is Luke's father when the movie is still in theaters.
A spoiler should be confined to major plot twists or other information that only becomes significant to the climax or conclusion of a story. Something that tells you where the story is going is spoiler, not what it is. Character deaths, changes to the status quo, things that totally change what the story was about . A premise is not a spoiler, basic but vague info about a show is not a spoiler.
So that there's going to be a Royal Wedding in Canterlot between Shining Armor and Princess Cadence is not a spoiler, its simply the marketing. Heck without revealing that much demands you not even unveil things like the title in your programming guide. But let's go further, Shining Armor is Twilight's brother is not a spoiler because its answers a question immediately relating to the premise of the episode. Namely why the heck are the Mane Six involved. Certain other things known are not either like "Twilight's Parents" is not a spoiler because all we know is a fairly trivial factoid we'd expect in the first place given the premise. Same with that there's going to be a song or that Derpy has been sighted, these are things we expect and happen all the time. That it happens in one particular story is no biggie. If said song leaked on the other hand that would be a different story...
Now its not like we don't have something spoilerish for this episode known...
Spoiler...like the clones which is something we should not logically expect in an episode about a wedding. Is this potentially significant enough to merit this, possibly.
Of course if they turn out to be some kind of throwaway distraction gag by the antagonist that was a marketing red herring though here is something that at least potentially merits caution.
In contrast the premise that Cadence has some "dark secret" is not because we know exactly nothing about it. What that secret is if someone leaked it, yeah total spoiler territory.
Its not like all the really juicy stuff isn't concealed by pure hive mind action. Even in discussions about say Fight Club how often does someone openly explain Tyler Durden. I went years without knowing and actually ended up pretty disappointed and found I could have enjoyed it more if I knew what to look for in advance.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Me too.
@Deadly, ignoring my poorly made food comparison, what I was trying to get at is that I think you're worrying about the alicorn issue even though the creators and owners of the show have demonstrated through their treatment of the episode that they don't consider it important. The worry that the episode will disappoint in its story after all the hype is legitimate, but the issue of alicorn lore is just so unlikely to come up or even be important to the people in charge of the show, that rather than worry about it, I think it's fair to just decide on whatever fanon makes you most happy.
Of course, if it turns out that the alicorn thing becomes a major plot point (teehee) I expect this post to get quoted mercilessly to remind me how wrong I was.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
You may very well feel that way, and maybe I'll agree with you on most of it. Personally I don't worry about spoilers. Sometimes I wish Hasbro would release less of them or would at least wait until not too long before the episode airs, but once they're out they're out and I'm going to look at them because I care more about being left out of discussions than getting spoiled. In fact I've found that if I miss an episode as it airs, as I have experienced recently, I'd rather just go ahead and read the spoilers even though I have to wait for the episode to be on youtube to see it.
But that's me, and I know and accept that others feel differently about spoilers and have different definitions of what a spoiler is. To someone who wants to go in without knowing anything about the episode, the fact that some upcoming episode is about a wedding, or that it features a particular uncommon character such as say, Mayor Mare (to pick at random), that would be a spoiler to them. Not to me or you perhaps, but that doesn't matter.
Obviously it's a little annoying when people spoiler-tag things that are completely free of any spoilers of anything. I've probably been guilty of that simply because I forgot, it happens. And if your forget to tag a really minor spoiler it can probably be forgiven and likely no one will even mention it. But I think we should all at least try to be conscious that some of our fellow ponythreaders may want to go in clean, and respect that.
But not getting a canon explanation of something this big could easily be just as bad, or worse than any explanation they might give. I could come up with a million head canons and it still would drive me crazy knowing that it isn't canon and that I'll never know what they hay canon is.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Alright, problems are there to be solved....
DO YOU HATE SPOILER TAGS?
Well, Deadly's here to help you get rid of them... with a vengeance! Create a new bookmark in your browser and copy the following code as the link/url of said bookmark. Name it something helpful, like "Spoilers B GONE!" or whatever. Then whenever you view a thread here on GitP you just hit the bookmark and BAM! no more spoilers. It also makes sure that no image is wider than 600px, to avoid stretching pages. Neat, huh?
I threw it together quickly just now and I've only tested it in Firefox 11, so let me know if something isn't working perfectly for you.
Code:javascript:(function() {var a = document.getElementsByTagName('div') ; for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { if (a[i].className == 'spoiler') { a[i].style.display = 'block' ; }}a = document.getElementsByTagName('img') ; for (var i = 0 ; i < a.length ; i++) { a[i].style.maxWidth = '600px' ; }})() ;

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Is Tara Strong allowed to do that? I mean, so many questions answered in one sentence! Why Scootaloo can't fly, the fate of Applejack's parents, Discord's backstory, the origin of the Elements of Harmony, so many spoilers!
EDIT: Wait a minute...how old is that script? Are VAs allowed to keep copies of the scripts? Didn't they start recording five months ago? Seems a tad long for 13 episodes....Last edited by Gamerlord; 2012-03-28 at 06:17 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Exactly what I feel. This smells too much of Hasbro making the decisions. I know they occasionally do so with the show in general, asking for little things to be added or changed, but here it feels like they've taken much more charge and are directing more than usual. Could be wrong, hard to tell, but that's the feeling I get.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
Quick! Lets figure out a season long plot arc based just on this!
I think they would say the toys and the show were "jointly developed." Still, Hasbro showering the show with attention and marketing can only be good things as far as getting a third full season is concerned. I'm sure it'll happen considering the ratings and how much The Hub must be loving having a breakout hit of its own but I wish we could get confirmationProof-reading is totally unnecessary in the digital age now that we have spell cheque.

Re: My Little Pony XL: The Plot Thickens!
I'm much the same I think, I too recognize that truely the only way to avoid this sort of thing is to isolate oneself from discussion entirely. And likewise broadly not willing to do that I dive right in.
I think we'd even find agreement that Hasbro is perhaps overdoing it here.
Yet I think this is something of an artificial situation. Its normal for kids networks to pick things they want to promote and promote them ad nauseum. You couldn't watch CN for a month without getting hit with a Level Up commercial practically everybreak. Her I think its artificial because we broadly speaking do not watch the Hub and FiM has before been somewhat low-key. Ultimately though we cannot have the Hub/Hasbro continue the show without recognizing that they have something here and acting accordingly. And broadly speaking we've heard nothing but that this show is a success for them, not just with us but even with the target demographic.
So it only follows that we will start to get major advertising campaigns for the show now and things like premieres and finale's will be treated as network events. Which will nessecarily involve a lot more trailer/promo material be produced. Therefore "spoiler" material is only going to increase. I have to see this though as coming into line with the stuff I've always seen though, ultimately this isn't going to be our secret little show anymore. Certainly not on the Hub at anyrate.
And with ponythread is already on the unnecessarily high side I feel we increasingly are going to have to actually evaluate what is actually a spoiler. We should not have say just a trailer producing an almost entirely silver page of tags, "just to be sure" or the like. I for now tolerate it on Ponyday but that when an episode airs nothing but spoilers is disscussed and all behind tags... is perhaps the best evidence of their unnecessary nature.
Because when they're new pony material out there it almost instantly becomes the only game in town. If I want to hit something cold, I don't particupate. Where are the active ponythreaders that somehow expect to talk ponies without talking spoilers?
But not getting a canon explanation of something this big could easily be just as bad, or worse than any explanation they might give. I could come up with a million head canons and it still would drive me crazy knowing that it isn't canon and that I'll never know what they hay canon is.
And given that Cadence will be the fourth alicorn to appear... well the simplest way is that basically we we wrong in thinking them to be so very unique. Much like Woona was wrong or the assumption that the sisters had always ruled Equestria. Simply because we thought something does not open a gap that needs to be filled.
At this point we really only have problems if the show starts contradicting itself. Which since it hasn't ever said Celestia and Luna were unique god-ponies... well there you are.
