Topic for people who like MLP:FiM

[Trance]

I don't get why they have to do these premiere episodes where there's a massive nationwide crisis with a villain that was never previously mentioned who gets defeated in a single episode and never appears again. I imagine at some point, all these one-off villains are going to band together into the MLP Legion of Doom, complete with their own secret base where they gather and argue endlessly about how best to do evil.

Yeah seriously. This one was defeated in record time. Barely even had any lines. All I could make out was "*evil laugh*" "*evil laugh*crystalheart*evil groan*" "*evil laugh*NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo*evil death noises*"
Obviously the party was overlevelled from grinding too many Changelings at the end of Disc 2. They'll be set for the rest of the game, or at least until they get to the bonus boss.

I wanted to see more of Luna. I get the feeling they're just going to give her token appearances at the beginning and end of each season, like "Here's your 10 seconds of screentime, now GET BACK IN THE BOX!" :<
(the box is a crate of bananas)

Anyway, what interested me most was the previews for upcoming S3 episodes. A plague of Pinkie Pies? BEST. APOCALYPSE. EVER.

I watched the premiere and I am getting a feeling that the entire series is getting extremely formulaic.

Seasonal rot is a good thing.

Although I agree the beginning episodes are getting repepative. The 2 episodes were not acualy that bad. But hey,opinions are opinions.

iOS game of the same name (obviously) came out.
Top of the list.Gameloft made it.
Now I wonder how this got popular?

[insightguy]

just tried it............it's like farm vile for ponies. the minigames and the voice acting were not bad though.

EDIT: holey crud.......i just checked. They have every single freakin possible pony that you could find. Hell. Even jeff letroski was there.......only one was left out. Care to guess which pony that is?

If I were to answer that question:
I live in the UK and don't own the full-blown Sky package.

I have to agree the season openings are getting repetitive. And that the Crystal Empire suddenly reappeared after some 1000 years (but still well inside the presumably limited lifespan of the main cast) also didn't feel very convincing. Well, at least they haven't repeated the "Elements of Harmony will save the day" gimmick again. Plus, I was glad there was Cadance in it, because she is one of the most beautifully drawn* characters in the show. But that's not why I write this. There are a few things I don't entirely understand about the Crystal Empire episode:

---

-Why Trollestia Celestia sends other ponies do the bad-guy-ass-whipping while she sips tea in her castle... AGAIN?!? I would expect she would at least send some guards with Armor - he is supposed to be their captain after all. And why she stops Luna from going?

-Is there some special connection between Cadance and the Crystal Empire (her cutie mark looks like that crystal heart)? Or was she sent there simply because she was the only one who could shield the Empire by her love spell? If so, how the hell Celestia could know Cadance's ability is needed? Is Empire's love spell the same as Cadance's love spell, which could explain the cutie mark similarity?

-When Cadance sees the crystal heart, there is this odd sparkle in her eyes. Similar sparkling could be seen when she navigated through the dark caves in Canterlot Wedding episode. Is it supposed to be something like "the love navigates her"?

-What is that book with stars on black cover which Luna conjures up near the very end?

*Well, I really didn't want to call her "hot" again and trigger a nasty flame like it happened a few thread pages back...

1) Basic gist is, like the Angels from Diablo lore, Celestia/Luna/etc., although dieties, are lazy dickwads. That's my reason and I'm sticking to it.

1) She's testing Twilight. To see if she's "ready". Ready for what, exactly, remains to be seen. Also she's lazy and useless. As for Luna, she stops her from going because Luna is not allowed more than 30 seconds of screentime per episode, and is not allowed to actually DO anything.
2) It is entirely possible that she and Shining Armor will take over control of the Crystal Empire to prevent King Sombra from ever returning again. Other than that, could be coincidence. Or fate.
3) I think it was just light reflecting off the crystals. Or alicorn eye-beams.
4) Probably something that will be important later in the season. We'll likely find out the next time Luna becomes relevant. In other words never.
