"It is weird but oddly enough makes since though that they had luna and celestia as being born as alicorns but then the show says this is the first time it’s happened." Now you got something wrong here - Its the wording you should focus on: - Princess Celestia: "The birth of an alicorn is something ->EQUESTRIA<- has never seen!" That means they dont know why it happened in Equestria, because they have never see this occuring in Equestria itself which was founded more than 1000 years before (as far as the "hearths warming"-origin story goes). This does not say that they never have seen this in their former home country or that its impossible. And considering alicorns are told to be "immortal", Celestia and Luna could have very well lived much longer than Equestria existed.

The same thinking as when I thought starlight was going to influence the CMCs 😅. " - Interesting... - maybe Sunburst got his cutie mark, was then replaced by a changeling to infiltrate Celestias school of magic and thats why he "ditched" Starlight which led to her "fall-out". 🤔 - would have made one hell of a plot...

2024-08-28 17:33:35 +0000 UTCThe lore Bomb. I do hope they mentioned more of it as it goes on but I can only wait and see. Think in my comment to the other comment I had my head canon of how FH became an alicorn as it matches what you said at the end. I’m always so skeptical when it comes to comics since it’s not in the series but if they say it’s canon it’s canon. It is weird but oddly enough makes since though that they had luna and celestia as being born as alicorns but then the show says this is the first time it’s happened. Maybe it was in later comic but this is either continuity issue or simply a origin they like but don’t go into. But I do like the analysis you did since comic and panels do give more insight, I just prefer and put the series over that since it can feel like rushed or underdeveloped ideas. But maybe I’m harsh 😂 Thank you for the insight master DeV 🤝

2024-08-28 06:51:10 +0000 UTCSorry for the late response. I know this one was a big one so I at least wanted to give it a response. Villain free. Very very interesting 🤔 Twilight think highly of herself 😂 Yes I see her now and the awkward smile is so endearing. Loved shining armor here 😂😂. He’s struggling. Though I do think it’s important for a child and father to be in contact, especially a child with THIS amount of power. It’s like Jack Jack 😭 Hahaha 😂😂. The villain was infront of us this whole time. Yeah you’re right. I forget that since i still feel awful about the Equestria games. The faces of twilight are two sides of the same coin 😭 I meant that I thought this was going to be a crazy heel/villain turn. He gains the trust and steals the baby. The same thinking as when I thought starlight was going to influence the CMCs 😅. Sunburst for the win! Getting noticed by a princess means he got the goods! Man talk about reopening wounds. First lesson in ponyville is to conquer the very thing that plagued her. Wow. And very true about spike! He was a rock for her. Is this a sign that this season will have him a good role? 😉 Yes I can see how people would feel this is a gut to the alicorn image. I could see how there are polarizing view of FH but I also feel if this is a first of it’s time events, seems the fans are in the same confusion as the ponies. Is it possible that the cadence who’s an alicorn now has that in her genetics passed it onto her? Maybe it’s too simple of a solution but that’s my headcanon. I get the frustration if they don’t elaborate on this because it does seem like a pivotal and interesting element to the bigger picture and species. Yes the crystalline is an awesome event! Similar to the sombra outcome where the empire seems to be sensitive with its power source. Putting on the right path is correct. Just simply needs to do that and allow her to grow and make the proper steps with her reformation. It’s hard but she did it! And yes twilight is still a student but she’s a teacher as well which requires no bias and fairness. Yeah it can be seen as weaker BUT if this is weak, then the show is doing great. Many amazing things as you said with starlight, Crystal empire, FH, and twilight being a teacher. All good. I get behind as well. The videos are always there for you so you can always comment or hold off. But if it’s a bit too late then a heart with suffice 😂 Oh wow. Neat Easter egg. Never would have noticed 😂

2024-08-28 06:41:16 +0000 UTCThis is the additional lore and theory i was talking about, going deeper into the question about Flurry Heart being a born alicorn and Celestias and Luna's denial of ever having seen one in Equestria before: And just so you know, its NOT a spoiler, because the show itself didn't go in any of this direction - just view it as some additional lore-dump mentioned outside the show itself 😅 We all know how Twilight became an Alicorn - by performing the great and worthy deed of completing one of Starswirl the Bearded's unfinished spells. But this raises the question: how did the other Alicorns (Celestia, Luna, and Cadence) achieve their status? Well, the show never explicitly states whether Celestia and Luna were born as Alicorns or became them later. However, the "Journal of the Two Sisters", the book that came up in Season 4, provides some intriguing insights. This book was officially released and is available to everyone to read. Said book just implied that Celestia and Luna were born as Alicorns, which makes sense considering they were alive over a millennium ago, long before Equestria was founded. Despite this, the show and other media related to My Little Pony offer no additional information on this topic. However, there is some clarification from one of the show's writers, Amy Keating Rogers. During a convention panel, she mentioned that she had discussed this very topic with Lauren Faust herself, the show's creator, and confirmed that both Celestia and Luna were indeed born as Alicorns. I recommend to listen her panel discussion - if you're interested in hearing this for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUiD9aWZQtU&t=3625s She had even more lore to tell that never saw the light of day in the show or any other medium itself and is still considered to be canon. With that background covered, let's now discuss Cadence's ascension, as explained in another of the official chapter books that were released: Once, there was a very young pegasus orphan who was raised by a loving pair of Earth ponies in a village. This pegasus was named "Mi Amore Cadenza", though she was more commonly known as "Cadence". She lived near a forest where a reclusive sorceress named "Prismia" resided. Prismia, consumed by jealousy, used a powerful necklace that amplified her negative emotions to drain the villagers of their love, leaving them distraught. Cadence, determined to help, confronted Prismia and managed to reverse the love-stealing spell, causing Prismia to change her ways. Impressed by Cadence's actions, Princess Celestia recognized her as a true princess. After coming into contact with the reversed necklace, Cadence was transported to a mystical dimension, much like Twilight's experience, where Celestia transformed her into an Alicorn. Subsequently, Celestia adopted Cadence as her niece. The reasons for this adoption are complex and not fully explained, but several references and theories offer some insight as follows: First, an Alicorn is seen as a figure of immense power, and Celestia likely recognized that Cadence's inexperience made her vulnerable to exploitation and she took her in. Another possible reason could be Cadence's cutie mark, which closely resembled a certain Crystal Heart associated with the Crystal Empire: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/6/6f/Princess_Cadance_ID_S4E11.png Let's delve deeper into the theory: There's a story in one of the official comics about the downfall of the Crystal Empire, which was once ruled by a pony named "Princess Amore"... Now, doesn't that name sound oddly familiar? That's right, Cadence's full name is "Mi Amore Cadenza"! - Interestingly, Cadence even bears a resemblance to Princess Amore: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/6/60/FIENDship_is_Magic_issue_1_Princess_Amore.png That's why she's described as "a very distant relative" of Princess Amore. ...But wait a minute... doesn't something seem off in this picture? Yes, that's right... Princess Amore is depicted as a Unicorn, not an Alicorn as it was shown on the crystal vase before: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/23/Vase_illustration_of_a_Crystalling_ceremony_S6E1.png Turns out she isn’t a pegasus either, so how does that fit into the narrative? Perhaps the vase is much older and one of Princess Amore's ancestors was also an Alicorn? This could explain Flurry Heart's situation, especially considering genealogy does play a role here, this may have been an utterly recessive trait that was somehow able to carry on and resurface. - The same idea applies to Cadence, who was once a pegasus. - Just to clarify: the comics are considered canon unless contradicted by the show or other official sources. As far as I know, there’s no information that challenges this. However, despite Flurry Heart's existence being still a complete mystery - we all know as to why she truly exists... - For Hasbro to sell new toys ofc. - duh! 😅 So what do you think?

2024-08-18 20:57:12 +0000 UTCjust so you know... i am sorry in advance for dropping these two heavy walls of texts at you... - Some notes/thoughts/facts: - The Crystalling... is the first Premiere without any clear villain... maybe aside from Flurry Heart who inadvertently destroyed the Crystal Heart. The only premiere which came close to that was the season 4 premiere, Discord did place the plants deliberately a long time before, but was no villainous villain anymore... so if you truly seek one, you could label these plants (or even the Everfree Forrest) as a villain itself in this case... 🤔 Starlight's mane-do had a neat designchange - before: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/18/Starlight_and_main_cast_sings_%22Everywhere_you_go%22_S5E26.png now: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/19/Starlight_apologizing_to_Spike_S6E1.png which do you like better? - I found it rather nice. It mustn't be easy to have an overprepared Twilight as your teacher 👀😅 Twilight Sparkle: "Well, I'm not one to dwell on the past, and neither should you." - Ah really..? 👀 The intro was changed, not just the cutie marks of the CMC are to be seen, no Starlight was right there with the mane 6 - I guess u didn't notice right away, because she had another mane-style. You are forgiven for this 😋 This is one big-ass castle that Starlight always asks for directions... or maybe she just has a bad memory with layouts..? I know how that's like... Spike: "Like how I'm a big hero there, for example!" Well... something tells me that Spike has been hanging around Rainbow Dash way too long... and considering that Rainbow was the only one here approving of his statement it may be true 😅 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/4/4f/Rainbow%2C_Starlight%2C_and_AJ_looking_at_Spike_S6E1.png - anyway I felt your statement here Ed... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/d/d6/Spike_picks_up_a_Crystal_Empire_vase_S6E1.png - That is one strange vase... how big is it to have 6 different sides and depicions shown? https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2016/3/26/1117301__safe_twilight+sparkle_rainbow+dash_pinkie+pie_fluttershy_rarity_applejack_screencap_princess+twilight_princess+cadance.jpg - And this was just one of them... cartoon logic I guess. Now take a closer look on these picture of the crystal vase: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/8/85/Vase_illustration_of_an_Empire_foal_reveal_S6E1.png - Dont you think these strangely resemble the Mane 6 in a way? Even the cutie marc's are a hint... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/23/Vase_illustration_of_a_Crystalling_ceremony_S6E1.png - Also there are two alicorns shown, one of them is the Crystaller and the other is the former Princess/Queen of the Crystal Empire right? - well... we will come back to that later... Twilight narrowed down Starlights first task, which is to meet with Sunburst to reconcile... But the way Starlight reacted to that shows us that she is by far not over it, she even has a PTSD-Moment here showing how traumatic of an event it must have been. To confront it is her biggest nightmare - but in the end she has to face it... Its nice to see Spike here as Starlights "student-counselor" and true friend, encouraging and push her to go further. Starlight Glimmer: "Not really stuff I'm super eager to tell Sunburst about. I mean, he's probably some big important wizard now, and... I can't even find my way around Twilight's castle." - Starlight is not proud about what she had done, she knew the severity of her past actions and her ego was badly hit by it. Ed... sometimes your predictions are scarily accurate... And finally Twilight is an aunt! Starlight Glimmer: "Right... Me neither... [beat] Actually, Twilight, I am a little worried about meeting Sunburst." Twilight Sparkle: "Oh, trust me. I know what it's like to see old friends." - Nice reference there! Wow Shining is totally out of it... "Dad-Vibes" is a good way to put it Ed 🤣 - but I wonder... shouldn't they have people for that? Shining Armor: "[tired] Never better! Being a father is amazing! And wonderful, and amazing, and confusing, and amazing, but surprising too, you know? I mean, not that you'd know. You wouldn't know, I know... You know? [beat]" - Must have been a blast to say that 🤣 https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/3/36/Shining_Armor%27s_manic_grin_S6E1.png vs. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/f/f4/Twilight_goes_insane_bed-head_not_groomed_face_S2E3.png i see no difference... 😅 Well as annoying this whole Spike is a hero thing is... he deserves it, he did indeed a good job both times in that regard. Also, he doesn't even brag about it that much and it was mostly brought up by others. So why is it that you think so negatively about it? Just because it was the "Equestria Games" episode? Shining Armor: "Before we go in, I should probably tell you. Seeing the baby might be a bit of a shock." - and what a shock it was... Flurry Heart is a newborn alicorn... Princess Celestia: "The birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!" Princess Luna: "It is beyond even our understanding." - Well this is interesting... but I also will go into detail about this later... And she seems to have very powerful magic fluctuations... firing these death-lasers around like nothing, which nearly killed a pony... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/e/e2/Crystal_Pony_mare_in_the_destroyed_ceiling_S6E1.png Only Rarity is able to distinguish the crystal of purity from each other... Twilights lists are sometimes really ridiculously meticulous... After hearing that Starlight is Twilights pupil, Sunburst's feeling of inferiority grew a lot bigger... and is pretending to be some big-shot wizard doing wizard stuff that wizards do and wizards are supposed to be... 👀 - and now we have two completely inferiority anguished ponies who aren't truthful to each other... ... what a great combination 😅 And now the real problem begins... Flurry Heart shattered the Crystal Heart... - Oh no, she was the villain all along. 😱 What a cute little devil - her face says it all: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/8/8d/Flurry_Heart_smiling_innocently_S6E1.png Prepare yourself! "Winter is coming!" ... again. Princess Luna: "This far north, the weather has a will of its own, and now it will only grow stronger, enveloping everything in its path." - Its not as controllable as in Ponyville it seems Mistmane's Material Amity, Rockhoof's Rapport, Flash Prance's Fellowship 👀 Spike: "Got it! [reading] "And if all else fails, ask them to share an embarrassing moment from their past, maybe even something they regret!"" - right into the core problem of both parties involved, but they dismiss it and go their ways Princess Celestia: "We will do what we can, but you must hurry." - Woooo! The princesses are finally doing something! they try to stall for time. And the little devil begins to teleport around the castle... talking about getting worse... how ignorant about the weather you wanna be? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/1b/Starlight_%22you%27re_right%21%22_S6E2.png and this: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/5/5f/Stubborn_Crystal_Pony_%22I_camped_out_all_night_for_this_spot%21%22_S6E2.png - "Tough Nut" even has a mule-head on her flank... - stubborn as a mule, who would want that destiny? "Mustafa Combe": "No Crystalling, huh? Then why are they starting the fireworks show?" i feel you Rainbow... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/9/91/Rainbow_puts_her_hooves_on_her_face%3B_Fluttershy_pats_her_on_her_mane_S6E2.png - this much obliviousness is nauseating 😅 The whole scene at the library was hilarious 🤣 Princess Cadance: "[reading] "Spell of Relic Reconstitution"! I can't believe we found it!" Twilight Sparkle: "It's a good thing, too! Without this, I don't know what we'd do!" - oh Twilight... shouldn't you by now to never say that? - this was absolutely temping fate... A former happy Twilight: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/21/Twilight_%22what_we%27d_do%21%22_S6E2.png A latter unhappy Twilight: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/4/41/Twilight_shocked_by_the_hole_formed_on_the_tome_S6E2.png 🤣 Princess Cadance: "Sunburst? I don't recognize the name, but if he's an important wizard, you should bring him here. Maybe he'll know what to do if the spell fails." - You were right before again Ed, they were asking him to help. But what did you mean here (34:20) "I am scared that that will turn evil"? 🤔 But Sunburst is absolutely not amused by this proposal and feigns to have no time, because he is doing "wizardy stuff"... amidst a snowstorm and impending doom... very smooth... Rainbow Dash: "Come on, it's freezing out here!" "Tough Nut": "Uh, this is the Crystal Empire. We've seen snow before." - Yes you did, but not like this... 🤣 And finally Sunburst breaks under the oncoming responsibility and tells how he by far is no amazing wizard who did achieve any greatness... he was unable to put his knowledge at use and dropped out of Celestias school... on that base Starlight was also able to open up about her past and paved a way to get together again. - It was a great reconciliation. But Sunburst knows alot of spells and is able to find the right ones to fix the heart (An unnamed Spell + The Crystalling), the weather (Somnambula's Weather Abjuration) and even Flurrys magic fluctuations (Fledgling's Forbearance)... Very dramatic... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/4/40/Sunburst_leaps_for_the_Crystal_Heart_S6E2.png ...I just wonder if that dramatic jump was truly needed... 😅 We see the crystal pony versions again! Aren't they adorable? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/0/02/Flurry_Heart%27s_Crystalling_is_complete_S6E2.png https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/7d/Shining_Armor_and_Cadance_with_their_baby_S6E2.png https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/c/c4/Starlight_Glimmer_and_Sunburst_happy_S6E2.png https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/9/94/Twilight_and_Celestia_crystallized_S6E2.png Princess Celestia: Indeed. "I'm glad to see you've found a way to share your unique gift, Sunburst. You may be more of a wizard than you think." - If even Celestia is praising you that says a lot! Twilights parent were last seen in the crowd of "Equestria Games" (S4E23) and "Magical Mystery Cure" (S3E13) during the crowning ceremony https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/29/Twilight%27s_parents_S03E13.png and "A Canterlot Wedding" (S2E26) on the left side at the front https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/5/5f/Aerial_view_of_flowers_S02E26.png And finally Flurry Heart is no menace anymore who is destroying everything due to Sunbursts spell. Sunburst took on the role as crystaller instead of Twilight. - Now he IS an important wizard 😅 And he made up with Starlight and they promised to see each other again and stay in touch! GREAT! --- Starlight's redemption arc - following her past as a villain - continues to be a central theme, with Twilight taking her under her wing as a student to learn about friendship. Symbolizing her commitment to change, Starlight even altered her mane, reflecting her desire to leave her old ways behind. The premiere emphasized her reunion with her childhood friend, Sunburst, which serves as a pivotal moment in her journey. Their relationship poignantly explores the theme of how people can grow apart and evolve over time. Starlight's initial steps towards redemption are compelling. Though she excels in magic, even surpassing Twilight in some respects, she is confronted with the very issue that started her downward spiral: Her emotional struggle because of her strained history with Sunburst, which was vividly portrayed through her PTSD-like reaction when Twilight mentioned reconciling with Sunburst as her the next lesson. this also led her to try everything to avoid this very topic. That's where Spike comes in to support her. I found Spike was particularly clever and mature in this episode - together with Starlight, he shared a strong, natural chemistry that enriched their interactions throughout the episode. Spike's role is more than just a friend: he acts as a supportive guide for Starlight, offering her someone to confide in when she feels hesitant about approaching Twilight and encourages Starlight to face her challenges, providing help in any way he can. Starlight's former friend Sunburst, once a promising unicorn, now also wrestles with the weight of his unrealized potential, having dropped out of Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns despite his extensive knowledge of magic. The theme of expectations versus reality is maturely handled through Sunburst's story, making his character highly relatable. Both, he and Starlight, face the challenge of confronting their pasts, leading to some awkward at first, yet ultimately healing, moments between them. Their reconciliation is not just personal but crucial to the plot, as it enables them to reassemble the Crystal Heart and save the day. The development of Starlight and Sunburst's relationship is thoughtfully executed and integral to the resolution of the episode. The reason behind this incident of the shattered Crystal Heart is "Flurry Heart", the newborn daughter of Princess Cadence and Shining Armor. Twilight Sparkle, now an aunt, faces the new challenge of parenting alongside her brother and sister-in-law. The premiere did an excellent job of portraying the struggles of being new parents, highlighting my respect for anyone who is raising a child. Flurry Heart's arrival, however, was met with shock, as she is not just any foal - she's a newborn alicorn, an event unprecedented in Equestrian history. Up until this point, the series had firmly established that there were only four known alicorns: Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle. The surprise over Flurry Heart’s existence was significant, especially considering that even ancient characters like Tirek, who is as old as the princesses, had no knowledge of other alicorns in Equestria. Neither Celestia nor Luna could fully explain Flurry Heart's birth and it was even beyond their understanding. This further deepened the mystery around Flurry Heart. But this unexpected development caused a rift in the fandom, similar to the reactions following Twilight's ascension to alicornhood. Fans had long believed that the four alicorns were unique in their status, and Flurry Heart’s introduction as a born alicorn, seemed to challenge that notion. Some viewers felt that this undermined the specialness of characters like Twilight Sparkle, and concerns about "power creep" arose due to Flurry Heart’s immense magical abilities. Thus the fan reception to the premiere was mixed. While some struggled to accept Flurry Heart as a newborn alicorn, feeling it clashed with the established lore and the original vision of Lauren Faust, others appreciated the focus on character development, even in the absence of a traditional antagonist. The premiere sparked debates about the direction of the series, particularly regarding the special status of alicorns and the implications of Flurry Heart’s powers. Anyway Sunburst becames Flurry Heart’s Crystaller and is now playing a crucial role in managing her powerful and unpredictable magic. His knowledge and capability allowed him to stabilize Flurry Heart’s magic fluctuations, which may be proving to be essential in the future... The character development was a significant focus in this premiere, especially for Starlight Glimmer. The premiere also expanded the lore of the Crystal Empire, using the Crystalling ceremony as a backdrop to further explore ancient Equestrian rituals and the magic of the Crystal Heart. The setting of the Crystal Empire continues to be visually stunning, and the addition of more lore around the Crystalling process was a welcome enrichment. It was fascinating to see how each newborn heir strengthens the Crystal Heart, which in turn helps the Empire maintain its protective barrier against the Frozen North. The episode managed to maintain an epic tone without the presence of a villain, offering plenty of excitement. Starlight’s interactions with Spike, the Mane 6, and Sunburst were particularly enjoyable, adding depth to her character arc. The tone of the premiere skillfully balanced lighthearted moments with more serious themes, especially the looming threat posed by Flurry Heart's uncontrollable powers that shattered the heart and stirred a a deadly storm. Looking ahead, the premiere set up intriguing storylines for Season 6, including Starlight Glimmer's redemption journey, aswell as the potential return of Sunburst and Flurry Heart. Twilight Sparkle has now taken on the role of mentoring Starlight, much like Celestia did with her. Though new to this role, she is doing her best to guide Starlight, providing her with tasks and advice to help her succeed. Twilight’s insecurity about being a teacher is understandable, but as Spike pointed out, she just needed to put Starlight on the right path while allowing her the space to make her own decisions, much like Celestia did for Twilight before. This also means Twilight must grow into her new role as a mentor to help with Starlight’s redemption arc and teach her friendship. Overall, i think the Season 6 premiere was truly remarkable in its own right. While it may be considered one of the "weaker" premieres, it still came close to previous ones. The episode successfully maintained suspense with the threat of an all-consuming ice storm following Flurry Heart’s botched Crystalling, despite the absence of a traditional villain. The B-plot, focusing on the reconciliation between Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst, was particularly well-executed, bringing closure to Starlight’s unresolved issues from Season 4. Their reconnection, though awkward at first, felt authentic, reflecting the difficulty of mending old wounds, especially with such a complicated past. Sunburst’s role in saving the Crystal Empire was somewhat predictable, but the way it was handled was far better than expected. Rather than a dramatic confession at the last moment, the story allowed both characters more room to breathe, making the resolution more understandable and relatable, though it did feel slightly rushed. Both the A-plot and B-plot were well-crafted and intertwined seamlessly, which was a highlight of the episode. At last, concerning the existence of born alicorns, there are some intriguing theories and official information, although not everyone accepted them as canon or was aware of them at the time. Since you seemed interested, I'll dive deeper into this topic in another comment, as it's too much lore to unpack all at once. The above mentioned unusual depictions on the crystal vase are also relevant there. - Its great that you are still watching and also liking it. - Season 5 was another great season and season 6 is... well I wont spoil anything for you 😉 - Lets say: you are in for another ride. And sorry that I am this much behind, but I was out for a while and had no time 😑 Still thank you for reacting, it was a bliss to watch it with you present and to get your insights about it. 💙 P.S.: Now since you have seen Episode 16, there is another interesting bit for you: It was an premiere without any obvious antagonist... was it though? Lo and behold: | It's a bird... | It's a plane... | It's screencapped beneath the break! | https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTtHyivrQNRFtQk42tLmqJE1_3ahEWgnPddWYAbTZzPDE4uVZ1bsf5TGJXh51kfPGApIzK2wugYIULlw-5s2SeypTLaV2VtgXOjYg2ON7U14fpc7scDPKnIozO-vWVviMYL9RHDwSfQ3yw/s1600/Season+6+premiere+mystery.png (I admit this joke was stolen 😅) At the end there is a changeling flying into the Crystal Empire? Maybe Thorax? Hm... pretty possible if you ask me...

2024-08-18 20:33:42 +0000 UTCLikewise! Maybe not as grand and epic but loved the baby inclusion and the freezing overtake. starlight had a great journey with sunburst which made for a great B plot. Yes yes. I hope they go into that more as the season goes on!
Ed
2024-08-04 11:20:01 +0000 UTCI actually like season6 opening pretty great episodes, I do like how starlight is getting more development and it’s nice to see a new character sunburst, a lot of people didn’t like this because we’ve already seen one similar with king sombra and the crystal empire but I think this was pretty good, and flurryheart is an alicorn baby which is very rare in equestria they didn’t say it doesn’t happen but it’s unheard of in equestria.

2024-08-03 01:54:58 +0000 UTCOkay well that’s good to reaffirm. If they look into how and why then I’ll be okay with this.
Ed
2024-08-02 21:53:20 +0000 UTCIt's actually been confirmed twice before this episode that the 4 Princesses are the only alicorns, funnily enough both times by characters who thought there were only three who were surprised to find out about Twilight: First Tirek, and later, the McColts.

2024-08-02 21:26:22 +0000 UTCAhhh alright. So it’s more some fans think it sort of shattered what the show had made official of alicorns. It’s more I find their entire existence there’s without an occasion like this a bit not as believable BUT also I’m okay with it being a first time moment so I’m not the most against it. These 4 princesses are the only alicorns on the show (as of right now) correct? So it also makes sense if it’s only them. If they tackle this later on (shh if they do) than I think I’ll be okay
Ed
2024-08-02 20:58:10 +0000 UTCAlicorns are supposed to be super rare. We've been told before this episode that Twilight, Cadance, Celestia and Luna are the only four alicorns in Equestria. We've also seen Twilight transform into an alicorn through performing a deed worthy of it. The point of the scene where they say the birth of an alicorn has never been seen before was to suggest that Cadance, Celestia, and Luna achieved their status the same way, and that being born an alicorn doesn't make any sense according to what is currently known in Equestria. Other fans definitely have difficulty accepting this, based on headcanons they had before this episode, or suggestions to the contrary in non-canon media. But I'm surprised that you would have an issue believing it, not having had any such prejudices.

2024-08-02 14:13:20 +0000 UTCYeaaah, the S6 opening is not the best. If I dare say so, pretty bad. But I can assure you that S6 also has several of my favorite episodes, absolute bangers, the treats aren't stopping. And there are a lot of them. So don't worry 😉
