Here's my little ponies in the morning with their hair all neat in their barrettes.

And now the barrettes are off.

And now their hair is brushed

And now Rarity's wearing Luna's orange crown.

Can I go on record with saying that Luna (save for her butt mark) looks like Twilacorn?  When I first saw one at Walgreens, I thought it looked way too much like Twilight in the coat color, lol.

Well, okay.  The mane's not accurate in the slightest for Twilight. :P

I did notice that, didn't think anything of it, but that's an interesting theory. It raises a lot of questions: What will she be like? Will there be a new element of harmony? How many brony heads will explode if/when it's confirmed?

I'm starting a wish list for next season. I want to see:

• Twilight's misasventures learning to fly

• Twilight's new position and responsibilities create a rift between her and her friends (which is eventually healed, of course)

• Celestia and Luna dealing with their strained relationship (It's been hinted at)

• A Rarity episode or two

• Some more adventure episodes!

ETA • More Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo

So I watched the finale again and watching Twilight's friends just bow to her, it irritates me. I can't give a detailed rebuttal or anything like that, but just seeing it, annoys me.

Is this behind the idea of why it annoys you?

I mean, I assume it annoys you that it implies that she's now unequal to her friends or something?  You don't have to go into detail, but am I in the ballpark?

Yeah, I'd say that's within the ballpark. In fact I think that picture perfectly articulates what I'm feeling. They just shouldn't be bowing. I can get bowing to Celestia and Luna, because they are as close to deities as anything, being alive for 1000's of years, the otherworldly manes, controlling the sun and the moon. But as soon as she gets wings, they just bow?

I was a little bugged by it for the same reason, but it was made better by the fact that Celestia bowed too, so it wasn't necessarily about submission to a superior. More like a sign of great respect for her accomplishment.

Plus, I'm sure the issue will be explored in greater detail next season, which I'm looking forward to.

This is pretty much my take on the situation.

It was Celestia doing the "My friend, you bow to no one" event, with Twilight being the hobbit bowed to.

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I don't get any of the fascination with the .mov videos.  At all.

They just seem... "HEY LOOK GROSS GRAPHICS AND RUDE DIALOGUE AND CHARACTERS OUT OF CHARACTER, TOTALLY FUNNIEZ"

Okay, I admit I got a laugh out of that Faust "quote" in the video.

EDIT: totally more leaked footage from new spinoff

Yeah, that's more or less my opinion of them also. They come off as trying too hard to me.

EDIT: totally more leaked footage from new spinoff

I'll admit I did laugh at this.
