Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: S4 E1Is it just me, or did the magic Twilight use to blast the potion look disturbingly like Sombra's dark magic?If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: S4E1 thoughts as I goHer wings do look kinda big and awkward for her. Maybe it's intentional, dunno.
And ... slightly updated opening. Finally has Luna! Yay, best change ^^
Ah, how I missed watching ads every two minutes[/sarcasm]
Why aren't her five friends in the window? They were kinda important parts of her transformation.
Yay, Luna raising the moon.
Well, that was sudden. Oh my, here comes the tentacle fics
Dun dun dun duuuun!
Yup! ^^
Huh ... that was a strange way to stop magic
Where .... Where did that seat belt come from? o.O
And ... over dramatic magic
To summon Discord ... Rite of Ashk'Ente?
Hehe, Rainbow Dash is the new Shutterfly
Dark magic? Huh
Dramatic NMM. Nice.

Spoiler: Not sure if spoiler-worthy, but just in caseHonestly, I think the animation for the entire episode has been higher-end the previously.
Edit:
Spoiler: S4 E1Welp, there goes my headcannon that Discord was in the middle of a song number when he was first imprisoned. Pity, he'd have had a great villain song.Last edited by Alabenson; 2013-11-23 at 10:41 AM.

Spoiler: S4E1Let's see, Celestia and Luna backstory, Discord trolling, Sombra magic, the origins of the Elements of Harmony, is there anything not awesome about this? :D

S4 Ep2
SpoilerWooo!! Flying laser battle! Well this topped a whole bunch of fanfics! I don't remember lasers in the ones I read. I made a DBZ reference when I saw Celestia shoot off the elements on her sister too. Overall this is a really fun history lesson!
S4 Ep2
SpoilerWe still got 15 minutes.
S4 Edit:
SpoilerIdiot balls for everypony!!
Seriously, that was stupid to sent Twi back. Elements need everyone present to work. I know they're all worried about losing Twilight and then Equestria being without a princess, but Cadance isn't that far in the background.Last edited by DigoDragon; 2013-11-23 at 10:51 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: Season 4 episode 2Hmm, I think Discord was probably right. And that was an awkward bit of group dynamics all around. I like this conflict though. The opinion of everyone other than Twilight wasn't really wrong. Being a leader does come with responsibility not to always throw yourself headfirst into danger because you need to, y'know, lead.
But on the other hand, I think it should have been obvious that something related to the elements of harmony would require all of them.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: Season 4 episode 2Well, that was pretty good. Reasonable story, somewhat thoughtful relationship drama, though the lesson to draw isn't all that clear. Discord steals every scene he's in, and Pinkie Pie was in pretty good form.
And, was that front and center continuity, just thrown in our faces?
*Gasp*

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: S4E2 thoughts as I go
And ... we're back!
Hmm, kinda vague as far as backgrounds go, I guess.
How are you guys posting so much during these ads? They feel much shorter than last season. I can hardly keep up *wipes sweat off brow*
Poor rockodile!
Uh ... okay. Her friends sure are quick to let her go and forget all their lessons and everything they just talked about two minutes earlier about doing it together.
And Twilight's after them again. That felt kinda pointless. I guess they needed a quick excuse for splitting the party and wasting a few minutes on something vaguely conflicty
Oh, and they sent her and Spike back through the forest alone. Way to protect her, girls.
Also, Twilight is apparently now helpless and needs constant saving because, of course she has no magic and must rely on escaping using her wings only.
Okay, she got her magic prowess back ... after getting saved.
Why are they just standing there while she's getting strangled?
New crown, huh
Okay ... Twilight Star Boom?
Proper thoughts to come

Oh, and of course Zecora would have elixirs of legend lore just lying around.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
[SPOILER]
Spoiler: Coherent Thoughts on Two-Parter
Pretty good all-around, with things only getting stupid near the end (You could give me a week and I wouldn't be able to finish explaining why sending Twilight back was a bad idea.) Stellar animation and comedy for sure.
* Messing with the main characters in order to teach them a lesson? That's the Q I know and love! He took any scene he was in and ran off laughing with it.
* Not that much fanon trashed, except maybe Pink-Hair Celestia and any possibility of there being other old wielders besides Celly/Luna being trashed (Not that it was ever likely to begin with), I guess. Didn't have enough context on those flashbacks for fanon destruction to really happen.
*I'm sure ditching your direct weapons against the forces of darkness won't cause a sudden spike in episodes where you need to find a way to deal with them, no sirree!
**Hopefully this might mean a more varied set of villains, because they won't need to be ludicrously powerful physical gods/epic-level spellcasters in order to counter the EoH.
*I give it a day or two before the dirty jokes about Pinkie dreaming about frosting start coming in.Last edited by Gamerlord; 2013-11-23 at 11:20 AM.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: Prediction.Well, it's not that hard to guess.
If it's the first one, well, of course the tree can give them new elements if it's where the old ones came from.
if it's the second one, well, in the movie they used them with just Magic, so using them with none of the Physical Gems isn't to much of a stratch
I'm picturing the box opening, and inside it's just a pice of paper
"The Elements magic only let you focus the magic of Frindship, the real power was in you all along"
Or some crap like that.
or maybe copies of the gems.
now, I'm off to copy my theory onto TVtropesI also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Happy Birthday. Have some Cake!
Also, thoughs on the newest episodes.
Spoiler: Season 4 episode 1-2 (Princess Twilight Sparkle) SpoilersWhy does nobody in Equestria have a saw?
I did like Discord here, especially seeing as how he tied it all together. And how he turned out to be the voice of reason, despite being the cause of it all. Heh, friendship lesson indeed.
It was nice to see Applejack getting a few more lines than other episodes. It feels like they're trying to give her some more screentime, with all the exposition. I hope that isn't the only thing they plan to have AJ do, though.
As a little aside, I note that there is a think called the Morning Star, visible at times in the sky as the sun rises. (It's Venus, if you're curious.) I do wonder if the ending was an intentional reference to that or not.SpoilerThank you to zimmerwald1915 for the Gustave avatar.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Happy birthday, Deadly!
Spoiler: Season 4 first lessonThe timing was lackluster there, probably the worst part of the episode. What I find interesting is that the lesson isn't all that clear. They were together, Twilight almost got hurt, and what made them change was the realization that if all the princesses dropped, Equestria would kind of fall apart (or Cadance would come back and the Crystal Empire would fall apart, minor details). It's a reasonable idea that I hope they explore more: being a leader means being responsible for other people, and that sometimes means not doing the things you want to do because you need to be leading instead.
There's a good lesson in sending Twilight back. In another context where it wasn't so painfully obvious what needed to be done, sending Twilight back, or perhaps leaving her back from the start could easily have been the right choice. I'd love to see a story where the lesson is that when you're in charge, you can't run off and do your own thing, but need to be responsible for the people you're in charge of.
A day or two? I gave it 5 seconds and was not disappointed by the stream chat.

S4 Zecora
SpoilerI'm glad I wasn't the only pony here thinking in D&D mode.
Zecora did say that she dare not try using it herself because it only responds to Alicorn magic. I wonder what happens is non-alicorns do use it? Roll on the random potion effect table? 'Cause I loved those tables.
52! *burps fire*
I suppose some ponies failed their system shock check and were still stunned.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Gee
Spoiler: Actual Crazy TheorySo here's a thought. Zecora mentions that thepotionelixir can be whitened only by "alicorn magic". But this is not the magic of friendship, as Magical Mystery Cure implied. No, no! It is a kind of magic we've seen only three, maybe four ponies use: Princess Celestia, Princess Twilight and King Sombra, with Sunset Shimmer as an edge case based solely on similar, though not identical, visual effects. Perhaps what we know as "dark magic" is, in fact, a kind of "alicorn magic," one only that breed can use without going all demon-y or "crystals, slaves, blargh" on us. Note that Luna's transformation was not accompanied by "dark magic", and that she did not use it after her transformation.

Re: My Little Pony LXXIII: Luna's Sordid Dreams? I'm Not Googling That...
Spoiler: S4e1-2The quality I was watching was too poor to really tell, but I think that Twilight in the beginning of the opening did not have her wings. It's kind of supposed to represent Twilight when she first showed up in Ponyville?
Spoiler: S4e1-2It most definitely was dark magic. Which, of course, brings up the question as to why a zebra would create a potion that requires the dark magic of an alicorn to have any effect. And just conveniently has it prepared as she was fleeing the forest for her life.
Spoiler: Season 4 theoryThis sounds right to me. Six keys, six former elements? Looks like we have our plot-driver this season.Last edited by erikun; 2013-11-23 at 11:31 AM.
