Main comic, 5/10. Totally not worth being the 50th issue.
Bonus, probably a 7/10 simply because Fosgitt gave slightly more of a fuck, and Whitley made a slightly interesting concept.

That's why I'm saying I'm unsure. Comixology and Amazon have it as the 15th, IDW's storefront has it as March, and iTunes doesn't even have it listed yet.
It would be absurd to have it pushed back, but last week they seemingly flip flopped this and Friends Forever #36 at the last second. I'm gonna at minimum keep an eye out on the 15th for it though.

>>29384512
Main comic was okay. Nothing extra, but still enjoyable. The whole talk about harmony was good. I liked that they tied in the other comics and episodes even if the execution was a bit wonky. Light 7/10.
That only made the disappointment bigger when the bonus I was curious about turned out to be Fosgitt. And while the story idea was okay, I don't feel this was very inline with Celestia's character. Bucking apples, buying a dress and eating sweets? That's the best you can come up with? Fanfics done it better.
The art is shit and plenty has been said about Fosgitt already. 3/10 did not like it.
>>29384516

>>29384681
I don't really take into consideration that it's #50, honestly.
And I thought the ending was fine. They, meaning Glimmer and Celestia, basically deduced on their own how Accord is working and what's his goal. It's been foreshadowed on the train ride, they've tried to do the elements thing and then Starlight actually reasoned with him and convinced him. There weren't even any half-truths or bullshitting, but actually solid thought out arguments. Glimmer going through a similar situation of mindraping other ponies made it feel more real as well, instead of her just spouting random friendship drivel.
Is there anything specific that bothered you, or something you would change?

Well I sure do someone picked up that phone.
BECAUSE I FUCKING CALLED IT
>Pic related
I should have known Anderson would have zero creativity/twists in store. But oh, I was surprised by one thing of this comic: by just HOW MUCH they would go balls to the walls with making Starlight fix everything by herself.
We've all went over the presentation of Celestia here from the preview last week. Let's ignore her willingness to surrender to Accord's philosophy the moment things get tough, and Starlight having to be the only one with any sense giving HER the pep-talk because we can't be made to forget she is a former bad pony for even a millisecond.
Let's even ignore the blatant disregard for continuity within the context of the comic itself (HOW the heck are the elements there, exactly? Did they not see the S4 opener at all when they wrote this? Canon vs noncanon fags are going to have a field day with this one way or the other). Though speaking of continuity, boy, how about all those times you fought evil yous? It does seem like you re-use this gimmick a LOT in the comic's, isn't it?
Celestia's focus of feeling the pains of failing her ponies/city/loved ones? Amounted to nothing. The Mane 6, including Fluttershy who in a story about Discord should be given some primary role to play? Did all of nothing. The entire previous issue with Twilight and Luna delving into Discord's mind for answers? Pointless, the knowledge they sought to obtain was never needed. And Anderson brought the Elements back from the ether just to have them no-sell against Accord to make him seem all the greater threat when this was already established, without the elements being available
(1/2)

>>29384715
(and yet are for reasons that are as contrived as the comic itself: the Elements have no ruleset so interpretation is up for grabs but Nightmare Moon was 'orderly' by the same extent Accord is so this just seems ham-fisted. And come on, we could have had seen Celestia or Luna reusing the elements? That is way too cool an idea to waste on this job-fest).
NO protagonist had any real agency within this story's conclusion except for Starlight Glimmer. You could have cut this into two issues by having Accord immediately mind-trip everyone at the dinner except for her, and nothing would change. Starlight is a pony who desperately needs to work WITH the other mane cast members to gain some dynamics but is instead once again given the ability to save the entire day by herself with logic you could call 3 months in advance with no help/guidance/assitance from any of the rest of the cast. She fixed everything on her own by talking to Accord. For a comic celebrating the 50th issue made by the mainline it's almost criminal how insignificant every non-Starlight character was in saving Discord. For a story that insists upon the different notes/songs of other ponies working together to make a greater whole, it seems hypocritical for her to be made to resolve the entire issue entirely alone.
So Accord passes on without so much as an apology and everything is resolved in moment with the Mane cast celebrating a victory that was almost entirely not their's. The comic spread is a nice end note but honestly with half the mainline being as poor as it was, I can't be brought to care. Fuck it.
The back-up story was much, MUCH better by comparison, though Fosgitt remains my least favorite artist and I think Jeremy must have forgotten that time in Luna's Micro Celestia DID think she deserved a day off, but nonetheless it was cute. Would have preferred a full blown Friends Forever though.
>>
>>29384706
I expected something more than a few pages of Glimmer rattling off how friendship is so great I guess. It wasn't even that profound.
The fourth wall break at the end kind of upset me too, I hate when writers do that shit. Write a better story if you're so upset about it, but don't have the characters complain that they're in a bad one.
>>
>>29384448
how did Twilight get a pic of Sunset as a pony and why does it look like it was taken before her reformation?
>>
>>29384723
I'm guessing it belonged to Celestia who took the pic before she ran away.
>>
>>29384715
Celestia went to get the Elements from the tree, which I'm pretty sure will start some shit in Equestria.
I guess the whole "fighting an evil you sure happens a lot, huh" discussion in the story is just Anderson being meta again, like how he had Discord complain that the story was bad.
>>29384717
Man, realizing all this makes me sad, and I actually like Starlight. Anderson is a hack.
>>
>>29384722
Yeah, those are all fair points. You're alright.

>>29384723
Celestia probably took it before she ran away obviously.
>>
>>29384743
>Celestia went to get the Elements from the tree, which I'm pretty sure will start some shit in Equestria.
Fair enough: where did she get the necklaces or the chest then?
Besides that, this choice by the writer is taken so brandishly it questions where the gravitas of letting them go in the S4 premiere went. I mean, if you were going to have the Elements fail anyhow, why even bring them into the story? No one has USED them in the show for years because the assumption was that they couldn't. Did he think Accord wasn't threatening enough without them? We KNOW how bad evil Discord is. Falling back on the Elements only calls into question why they wouldn't bother taking them out of the tree when Tirek/Discord teamed up.
>>
>>29384448
HOLY FUCK
THEY MENTIONED SHIMMY
>>
>>29384772
She kept the chest and I guess plothole for the necklaces.
I see your point about the gravitas. The Elements fail so quickly too, it doesn't really even have the "holy shit this is getting real" vibe. Also, since when were the elements ever about "restoring order?"
>>
>>29384516
Rarity's FFs are usually pretty good so hopefully this one will be too.
Even the weakest one (the gilda one) is more from the art than the story.

Boring ending to an interesting premise. Dunno why Discord switched back from order at the end when he could just toned it down like Discord did chaos. First part was 7/10, this one was 4/10. Mini-comic was cute and only slightly ruined by the hideous Fogsitt monstrosities, 8/10

Bonus story - 8/10. Don't care about Fosgitt style, story is likable. Hope we seen Celestia Episode in the show with this kind of atmosphere.
>>
>>29385154
They only tie in because the comics have used the evil counterpart trope for a full 1/5 of their mainline. And the solution is just a longer version of her speech against Chrysalis.
>If you constantly see only bad things and can't enjoy good, then you should take a break. At lest for a while.
That'd be easier to say if there were more 'good' to this, I'm happy you can shovel down whatever shit's put in front of you and find those kernels of good that make it all seemingly worth it but giving this arc higher than 5/10 is generous.

Well imho this arc as a whole and this issue particularly have much more good then bad and I don't really see these ooc and flanderization moments.
For me (raises "opinion-shield") characters were belivable, reactions natural and actions logical.
As for Starlight - she is was important part of the solution because of her history and view on this. The Twilight was okay with "reforming spell" for god's sake!
And, to be clear, I'm not a Glimmer-fan(more neutral to her). But because I say something good about her, I'm probably am in eyes of Glim-haters.
> but giving this arc higher than 5/10 is generous.

>For me (raises "opinion-shield") characters were belivable, reactions natural and actions logical.
You're wrong but, I doubt anything I have to say will convince if you still hold that opinion by this point.
I have no qualms about Starlight being an important part of the solution (though I question why we HAVE to dive into 'remember what I did was bad' territory for the millionth time), I take issue with her being the ONLY solution. She figured out the problem by herself and implemented a solution by herself, what kind of 'friendship is magic' approach is this?

Well if Celestia hadn't shielded her at the dinner then they would have all lost right then.
And though Luna and Twilight were defeated it's not like they weren't trying.
And Starlight's angle for convincing Accord came from her conversation with Celestia on the train ride.
Really the victory is the results of Celestia protecting Glimmer and giving her the ideas she needed. Think back to Return of Harmony: even though the Mane 6 delt the final blow to Discord, they never would have made it had Celestia not sent the letters an given Twilight the idea to use memories to un-Discord her friends.
Sunfags should be pleased, I know I am.

>>29385356
>Really the victory is the results of Celestia protecting Glimmer and giving her the ideas she needed.
>Really the victory is the results of every non-Starlight character acting as a stepping stool to prod her up
Really not making a strong case for her here.
Yeah, look, I'm glad Celestia was given a panel to do something that had effects lasting longer into the next comic, but let's not jizz ourselves over a simple barrier spell we've seen Twilight/Starlight cast numerous times. It was nothing unique to her. And their entire conversation was pushed along by Starlight with Celestia more or less just nodding along with whatever she said. She was used as idea-bouncing fodder, Starlight was driving the whole train of thought and arrived at the conclusion on her own. Celestia provided nothing of real sustenance throughout the arc, that you are 'pleased' with her utilization from this arc is disturbing that standards have fallen so low.
And Luna/Twilight's defeat hurts the story more because it was in total vain: none of their actions taken benefited the rest of the team, and book 2 of this arc could have been scrapped entirely to the exact same end result as what we got.

Well, I'm not against a good talk about opinions and I think what high amount of criticism about how some characters were portrayed in this arc and some "controversy" arcs from before is misinterpretation or just missing a point.
Unfortunately sometimes headcanon and unconfirmed assumptions could spoil joy.
>>29385374
>And Luna/Twilight's defeat hurts the story more because it was in total vain: none of their actions taken benefited the rest of the team, and book 2 of this arc could have been scrapped entirely to the exact same end result as what we got.
That's just simply not true. In second part we have explanation to why Accord appears, which was hint to a solution, good character moment between Twilight, Luna and remnants of Discord's personality, and slow destruction of Celestia's hope. Without these parts, the story would be incomplete.

You're free to fuck off with this assumption. Many such criticisms are made when compared against the characters presented by the show itself, and even if something comes up that you can't necessary prove is not incharacter it doesn't change the criticism that it is a 'poor' choice to develop their character. Beyond that I don't think the biggest criticism this arc receives is character portrayal but rather setting up everyone else but Starlight to fail so she is given the sole starring role in the comic's last act

>In second part we have explanation to why Accord appears, which was hint to a solution, good character moment between Twilight, Luna and remnants of Discord's personality
The whole of which happens over 1-2 pages that could have just as easily worked in to the ending if the pointless Elements scene were scrapped. A hint for the readers is is kind of pointless when people could guess Accord was going to be beat via talk no jutsu ahead of time, and does the heroes of the book no good because they figure it out on their own anyhow. Luna/Twilight didn't even share that information at the end after all was said and done, yet Applejack still somehow knew what it was that bugged Discord and apologized. It's a bad use of the characters and hack writing to have half an issue essentially dedicated to a plot thread that goes nowhere.
>slow destruction of Celestia's hope
Also amounted to nothing. After pages of bitter contemplation of whether she's failed her ponies and even a crisis of faith, Celestia proceeds to only fail to protect anyone straight after and do nothing to regain her own confidence as she does nothing helpful by the end of the comic. It's awful.

You know what the worst part is? Despite getting to one of my personal triggers, the comic was so poorly done I couldn't even get triggered. It was just that bad, like they actually worked for it to be terrible.

As awful as Bulls is, I will read it again over Siege or Chaos Theory. The characterization is downright damaging but at least there is humor to be found in just how bad it is. Siege and CT are just frustrating with how bad they are.
>Forgiving Sombra immediately despite having enslaved thousands of ponies, stole 1000 years from them, and proceeded to do the same thing over again because he changed his mind at the 11th hour
>Same with Hope, receives no punishment despite selfishly endangering countless ponies for Sombra's sake
Celestia / Cadance not being angrier with them or making them face the Crystal Ponies themselves for forgiveness was dumb. That arc also suffers from many of the same problems that CT suffers from, in how it removes all importance from any pony except Hope or Sombra, but I prefer CT to it because at least Starlight isn't the sole cause of everyone's suffering in this arc.

At this point you probably stop reading, because I dare to like it, so I can freely say what loud hatred towards Hope is one of the ridiculous things I heard.

And Hope's hatred is well deserved. She is, perhaps excluding Aspen, the single most unlikable person the comics have ever spawned.

The problem is the reverse here: there are only a few nuggets of interesting/worthwhile development for characters (the AJ/Mayor FF, Celestia's Micro, Rarity's Micro) and the forest itself is a woods of mediocrity at best.

I really didn't like the main story.
The story itself was shit, Starlight solving all issues by herself felt really, really underwhelming for issue 50. All the references to earlier comics would be fine if they were any good, but I'd prefer if these were never acknowledged again, they were that shit.
Also, the elements. What the fuck, why? And they did nothing with them?Also, isn't Luna the element of magic, on account of her being the greatest pony mage we've seen onscreen?
The bonus comic started quite promising, even almost on-model from time to time, and with ponies being mostly quadruped for the first few pages at least and an issue that feels very much in character for Celestia.
Then it all went downhill, who the hell is that griffon? and Discord the banana-pone is atrocious. Celestia isn't much better.
And the bit after they get to Ponyville? Bleh.
By some weird strike of chance, today at work I literally, *literally* happened to listen to an audiobook version of an almost 5 year old fanfic that does the same premise much, MUCH better, with every character involved acting more in line with their character than the ones in this comic. How is that even possible?

And again with asumptions. What is good should be praised and what is bad should be called out. But the problem is - criticism so easily became just blind hate or blind praise and both of them is wrong. When coming to some "controversy" arcs, such as Reflections, Siege and this one, the majority of loud hatred is plain unreasonable. Instead of trying asking why characters whould act or talk that way, it's just taking blame for "poor writing" and "all aboard the hate train".
Problems always exist. But this arcs imho not even close deserve that amount of loud hate.
>I'm not going to stop reading just because they're shit because at least in reading through them I have the right to say they're shit.

I have always given the comics praise when deserved. IDW Sombra was perfect if it was restrained to his FIENDship and Siege didn't happen. Many FF issues are good enough I'd actually put them in the show if given the choice. Even in this arc, I give credit to the use of continuity to its advantage, and while I think Celestia is portrayed as too easily defeatist and it focusing around Starlight's past misdeeds yet again, I like the effort in giving Starlight anyone other than Twilight to talk to. I'll also praise the idea of a being of pure order being an enemy, though I think making it Discord was unnecessary.
But any 'loud' hate I give it has also been well deserved. A comic can have shit moments and still be good if the balance tips that way, but whenever it isn't outright bad it's just 'inoffensive' in other parts, which do nothing to help my opinion of it. There's just as much harm to be had in giving it too much credit when the justification for it are buzzword-worthy like 'fun' or 'enjoyable' with no real answer to the flaws others point out.

I agree. Undeserve praise makes as much harm as undeserve hate.
But what should be answered, when someone said "This episode/issue/arc is bad/horribly bad, because Starlight do something/save the day"? Because this is the real problem. Just because it Glimmer, this cannot be justified by any means.
Forget what using Element was the most effective solution for them in that moment. Even if they have to replace Twilight - it was or do Elements, or calmly let Accord brainwash them. Forget what it was Starlight who should talking to Accord on that point because of her history and point of view. Her and not Fluttershy, because she's not fully understand this problem because she never was part of something like that. Forget what Celestia's break was reasonable because she step by step lost everything most dear to her.
Instead, let's hate this arc because it was Starlight to save the day and take characters and everything out of context.
And, for a big shame, most of the "loud hate" became this ridiculous. But it's internet, so I guess nothing really suprising.
>>
>>29386742
>Where do you think we are?
Fair point.
>>
>>29386755
>Instead, let's hate this arc because it was Starlight to save the day
But that's the problem, Anon. This comic went out of it's way to either ignore or fuck up anyone who could have stopped Accord so Starlight could have been the one and only heroine, even if the cartoon already made very clear that she lacks empathy and the one and only pony that Discord really cares about is Fluttershy.
It was a railroaded story with a designated heroine shoved down the reader's throats. Like it or not, it will receive hate for being like that.
>>
>>29384410
"And Applejack wanted to make Equestria great again."

>>29386755
Even the elements failing to work makes no sense.

>"Starlight" comes before "Celestia"

>>29384431

>>
>>29386755
I can take Celestia's confidence being shaken. What I find retarded is outright stating Accord's way might be better. I would assume, given Twilight has been through the ringer worse in Siege and Cutie Re-Mark, and still held onto her values, that Celestia should be capable of doing the same being her senior/teacher.
What was worse about that was doing nothing with it in the end. We see panel after panel of Celestia lamenting her failures and questioning herself, and in the end her last acts aren't her restoring her own faith and being given the opportunity to save her loved ones herself. She, almost immediately fails at protecting her subjects again and is left helpless for someone else to solve the issue. It is Celestia's longest, most tired trope, done over a dozen time in the show and comic alike.
>>
>>29386824
Also, bringing up the Mirror World only means that this arc's events caused a similar fuckup there, like their heroic Discord becoming a tyrant or something.

The same thing that is said when Twilight is made to save the day all on her own with no assistance from any other mane character: that it's a crappy resolution. The issue isn't that Starlight is doing something, it's that Starlight is doing everything. At least, everything that matters: ultimately none of the other casts' efforts actually result in anything helpful to stopping Accord, the end result is Starlight figuring out something all on her own. And that is the same problem most people have when Twilight does it, it's that there should be a group effort in this given the themes of teamwork the comic claims to uphold. Especially when decent focus is given to characters like Celestia/Twilight in their segments but ultimately underutilized those moments.

The problem is what in this story character's actions, fails and weakneses make sence. It is you who chose to interpreter them as writer forces Starlight to shine. And after that you started calling them as the story's flaw and poor writing, while it be just how you chose to look at things.
>and the one and only pony that Discord really cares about is Fluttershy.
But Accord is not Discord. As how Dark Water Mane 6 weren't the Usual Mane 6.
>>29386824
Mirrorlestia wants to conquer and rule for herself. Accord's action create order in the puriest sence. Horrible order but order nonetheless.
>>29386869
I see her belivable because the chances to stop Accord was very slim. They have to hopes: or Twilight and Luna find Discord in Accord's mind and change him back, or Elemnts will stop him. And after two other princesses fall, the elements was the only remain option, which were high chance what they don't work without Twilight. I see here "maybe Accord have a point" as a attempt to say "maybe my sister, my pupil and my subjects will not be suffering if we fail". Yes, position of defeated but in this moment I can stand by it.

dislestia rears its ugly head again, though I guess it's pretty silly to assume discord would remain loyal to just one waifu
>>
>>29386994
But the odds have always been this slim in these scenarios. Wavering belief that they could pull through, sure, but admitting that 'maybe everyone under mind-control wouldn't be so bad' seems pretty out there. Like, when Celestia banished her sister, I'm sure she wondered if there was another way to save Luna then, but I doubt she ever admitted that letting the world be caught in eternal night was an acceptable compromise.
I still don't agree with the use of the Elements either. I'm of the opinion that, even if the canon allowed for them to be used (which I'm dubious of, between Twilight's absence and the weight of their loss in S4's premiere), the writer shouldn't have given them this grand return only to fail utterly, rather than having the cast think more out of the box, which would have been far more entertaining.

>Like, when Celestia banished her sister, I'm sure she wondered if there was another way to save Luna then, but I doubt she ever admitted that letting the world be caught in eternal night was an acceptable compromise.
The big difference between this two situations is what Accord among other antagonists brings actual order even in a wrong way. This is Celestia's darkest moment in both comics and show. As every person, in that moment she's vulnerable and the two closest ponies, who can help her still stand, falls to practicly unstoppable power, which have the same goal as she have.
I think everyone, no matter how wise and powerful, have this moment of weakness and doubt. It makes them more realistic.
As for elements - I don't make such a big deal from that. Never was stated what they irremovable(on the contrary, Celestia take them to defeat Discord), only what Tree will die if EoH wouldn't charge it. And after removing them first time, Tree lives over 1000 years. So I don't see the problem them be "last resort".
>the writer shouldn't have given them this grand return only to fail utterly, rather than having the cast think more out of the box, which would have been far more entertaining.
EoH already proved what they can stop powerful creature like Discord, so it's logical to use them. And sudden apperance of another magical item with equal power will be looks kinda "Deus Ex Machina"

What surprises me is the tiny number of comments posted at Equestria Daily's comic and review articles.
I can understand that EqD lost considerable people after disabling anonymous posting, but I still was under the impression they had more people willing to discuss things or simply to echochamber a discussion to kingdom come.
I'm also surprised to not seeing The Illustrious Q doing his habitual damage control and opinion supression rounds.

WELL i understand why Illustruous Q would defend this since his career pretty much depend on people reading the comics he would shill every piece of shit out there.
What i don't understand is why HnSnork or TexaxUberAlles would dedicate their life to defend literally every issue if they don't get anything from it.
And i don't mention actual kids or autists like MarioFan or Hawk or such since its natural that they would have no actual taste whatsoever. They probably watch Equestria Girls on daily basis.

>WELL i understand why Illustruous Q would defend this since his career
He doesn't have a career.
He never had a career to begin.
He's just an obese, balding NEET on his late twenties who has been playing pretend for almost 4 years. That's not a career, that's just plain sad.
And for the record, the rest of Equestria Daily's staff dislike him.

Celestia has never been about order. She's about harmony. The antithesis to Discord and Accord.
Remember the grand galloping gala? The painfully stilted, organized and scheduled one in S1, that Celestia intentionally wrecked by introducing chaos in the form of mane6? Or her visit to Ponyville in the Phoenix episode, where she was playing pranks when everyone was acting so uptight and orderly?
That's Celestia. Balance. Harmony.

>>29387671
If Celestia is about harmony, she can't be antithesis to Accord, because Accord is embodiment of order. And their basic goals are the same or at least very close ones.
>>
>>29387909
If you like something and you go into a "hate-thread" expecting to find praises or change the local mindset to suit your own you are a goddamn idiot.
Also, harmony and order are two different concepts, dumbass. Harmony is a tasty food dish with all ingredients and flavors flowing and enhanching each other, while order is a glass of pure water.

>>
>>29387909
>If Celestia is about harmony, she can't be antithesis to Accord, because Accord is embodiment of order.
Order is not the same as harmony.
Order is stagnation. In Starlight's and Accord's vision, a place where everyone is the same, thinks the same, and has no dreams or passion. Cold, ordered robots going through motions.
Chaos is change. In Discord's vision, it's an ever-changing kaleidoscope, where nothing stays the same, a place that nopony can comprehend and nothing can thrive.
Harmony is what you get when the order and chaos mix and complement each other. In Celestia's world, wild nature is tamed and ordered into beautiful gardens and plentiful fields, cold, stilted social events are broken up with good-hearted pranks. Ponies are free to dream freely and wildly, and the structure exists to support those dreams, whether it's flying or dressmaking.

Wow what a crappy final issue. I didn't think I could find a issue worser than Siege but the moral of this story is completely bullshit and falls apart. Why didn't the elements work on Accord? They pull off this bullshit about restoring order but that's not how the elements work. They restore Harmony which Accord doesn't abide by so why the fuck is he getting stronger from it?
Fuck why are the elements even need to be used? Just have Fluttershy hesitate or something.

Hey now, sounds like Fluttercord shippers, with the completely nonsensical delusion that two characters who are clearly just friends are somehow in a relationship or whatever those sillies are claiming these days.
Maybe Fluttercord and Dislestia shippers DO have something in common, aka a crippling mental impairment that makes them incapable of viewing any male/female character interaction as anything other than "muh shipping"
Really makes you think, huh? Need one of those "muh soggy knee" memes for shippers.Of course, the comics aren't canon, and as far as shippers go, the particularly delusional ones are just a small vocal minority, I won't unfairly generalize

Whew, did I strike a nerve? You sound triggered, friendo. Not a Flutterfag mind you, just someone who's tired of certain shippers in general being retards on the board and elsewhere.
Anyway, I thought the comparison was pretty apt, it really activated my almonds, if you know what I mean.
Seriously though, considering the amount of shitposting by shippers on /mlp/ lately, I'd dare to say I'm being pretty generously friendly here.
I know most shippers are reasonable people, so I refuse to generalize, but I do want to speak up against the ones on /mlp/ and elsewhere who seem to want to harass anyone and everyone who doesn't share their ship, at any expense. It's obnoxious and only makes you look like a retard, to be blunt.
You're so predictable that I literally had most of this pretyped before you even responded, mind you. Think about that for a moment, shill.And why bring up Shining Armor? I wasn't promoting Dislestia, just saying that neither it or Fluttercord are even remotely canon

>>29389243
Every reaction video and normalfags see them as romantic, it's not just bunch of shitposters claiming it although 4chan shitposters are the one who likes to make threads about it. The fact is, the ship is very popular and everyone at Hasbro is aware of it while their relationship is an ongoing theme in similar fashion as Sparity. It will take a lot like maybe entire S7 without any teasing for people to calm down about this ship and at least one more year for shitposting to stop. See FlashLight posting that stoppes after Flash was cucked in the movies and removed from FiM.
>>

If I were like you, I'd say that book is going to eternally BTFO you once it makes it clear it's a brother-sister relationship, but that book is not even slightly canon either, so whatever, it won't matter. :^)
Anyway, we'll see. Season 7 will make or break you, after all. There's no actual evidence of Fluttercord whatsoever, but your determination to believe that "IDS HABBEDIN S7 :DDDD" anyway is almost inspiring.

By all means, keep your shitposting spectacle going, it's morbidly fascinating in a way. Just don't expect anyone to see you as anything other than delusional. Like every other ship, there's not a shred of evidence of Fluttershy or Discord are anything more than friends.
Also, lol at comparing it to Sparity. Sparity had actual proof of romance, unlike Fluttercord, and so much more shipping fuel it isn't even funny, even though it isn't really canon either.
Frankly though, shipping fuel is pretty subjective, and a biased shipper could probably interpret almost any 'positive' interaction between any two characters as shipping fuel.
>>
>>29389304
I don't have any, but other people should have, as his autism tends to be screencapped a lot.
Among other things, he had a complete meltdown when Curnow and Miller confirmed that the comic's original stories were not part of the cartoon and shrieked that he still was going to consider them canon so the comic events would appear on the cartoon because he said so.
Look at him now, following the current trend to not feel out of place.

I'm personally pretty confident with the ship. Their interactions in S5 and S6 is depicted in the same way as I would depict it if i was writing their episodes. I even predicted in S4 that I would love to see the episode where Discord is jealous of Fluttershy going with someone (though I imagined it would be a guy but neverthless Discord probably don't see a diffrence between a mare stealing his waifu and stallion doing it) and at least one episode where Discord would risk his life to save her and doing the "knight in shining armor" gag like Spike did in "Dog and Ponies Show" episode (I didn't expected to be a pig but it make sense since horses are sapient in this universe)
So in the end, I'm very happy with current state of FlutterCord in the series, which make sense as it was presented by fluttercord shippers.
I can already predict next FlutterCord episode which will involce Discord meeting Zephyr and Fluttershy's parents. That will be just another step toward bonding them together. I can see them officially dating somehwere at the beggining or ending of Season 8.

Which i do. I'm not the one who posts cuck memes. I realised they becoming a focused pairing around S4.
First, the KcAfo episode referenced Beauty and the Beast but still as their first episode it did not hinted at them even interacting in later episodes let laone being ship teased. Only after they gave them actual emotional focus in Twilight Kingdom I realised that they actually building it up from the very foundations. It's prefect. Not rushed as other romances depicted on MLP and most cartoons but instead developed from states of:
enemy(S2) ->friend (S3-S4) -> best and closest friend (S5-S6)
I can barely wait to see what Season 7 has in store for me.

I only re-got into the fandom recently so I hadn't seen much of his antics before but none of this really surprises me. To be fair I don't think it's him just trying to go along with the popular thing is and more that he's unreasonably passionate about his opinions and really wants to make sure everyone else has the same one as him. Like I respect his opinions most of the time (Even though I almost always disagree with them) but he fucking plasters his shit everywhere and he seems to think really highly of himself and that his opinion is objective fact. I feel like he makes decent points sometimes but it's usually drowned out by hyperbole and self-fellatio and every other time he's doing drive-by shitposting about how people don't write Celestia right or how Glimmer is shit and Shimmer is 100x better even though Shimmer suffers far worse from the problems that make him not like Glimmer.

S1 pilot as Nightmare Moon. This isn't *really* Luna, but NMM's illusion and transformation spells are far above and beyond the runner up, Twilight.
Her colossal repertoire and the ease with which she can conjure an entire storm without moving a muscle, transform a cape into living bats, or give life to a basket full of toy spiders among others in Luna Eclipsed, often simultaneously.
Her capability to sustain (not just cast, sustain) a spell reaching out to every pony in Ponyville, while simultaneously entering their dreams with another spell and interacting with the dream using a third in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep.
She's created living, sentient entities from pure magic, capable of threatening all of Equestria. Twice. Nightmare Moon and Tantibus.
Also, in the flashback they're meant to wield the elements together. (Fuck, considering Nightmare Moon it doesn't even make sense for Luna to embody Loyalty and Celestia to be Generosity. Not back then at least.)

>One fateful day, the younger unicorn refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the young one's heart had transformed her into a wicked mare of darkness: Nightmare Moon.
The narration in the pilot puts it right there, transformation.

She transformed herself yes
oh well at least you are not one of those faggots who thinks she was corrupted by outside forces those are the fucking worst.

Well, whatever it was, it was definitely internal. There's just too many similarities between Nightmare Moon and Tantibus for me to pass up on the theory that NMM is a separate Luna-made entity.

LOL at glimmer haters, how can you deny she's a mane seventh after this comic? She fucking saved the day while everyone else was useless!
She showed a better understanding of Friendship than twilight for god's sake!

>Magic stuffs
Certainly that's impressive, but I'm not sure it qualifies her as "greatest". We've never seen her teleport, for instance; she seems to prefer going Ethereal instead. She's also never borne both stellar bodies, which Celestia did. Twilight also proved capable of actually *blending* living life (Bat-shy, Breezies), and her Za Warudo has not been used by any other character. And lastly, of course, Nightmare explicitly said she did not know time magic.
"Greatest" is hard to qualify. Luna's certainly at the top, but I'm not convinced she's greatest.
>Also, in the flashback they're meant to wield the elements together.
But they don't. They quite clearly don't. Collectively they use them together, but each carries and connects with three of them.
(Arguably, Luna is actually the lesser in that respect: Celestia is the only character to use all six elements, even if imperfectly. Nightmare doesn't even try, despite their power if she could.)
>(Fuck, considering Nightmare Moon it doesn't even make sense for Luna to embody Loyalty and Celestia to be Generosity. Not back then at least.)
I think the point is that Luna/Nightmare's jealousy overcame and corrupted her elements. Generosity wouldn't have been fitting because if that had been one of her core elements, "giving up" her nights for ponies to rest wouldn't have been such a big deal.
>>
>>29393647
I don't buy it.
They carry three elements each in their saddlebags, sure, but they make a special note of sharing them.
Compare Celestia and Luna

To mane 6 VS Discord
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5gfb7VR1F8
Or VS NMM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdIxSdhsUgs
Especially the NMM scene is a good parallel, the shattered elements surround one pony and one pony only, while all the elements surround both princesses.
>(Arguably, Luna is actually the lesser in that respect: Celestia is the only character to use all six elements, even if imperfectly. Nightmare doesn't even try, despite their power if she could.)
NMM is a being of order, not harmony. She can't use the elements any more than Discord can.

>>
>>29393647
>Celestia is the only character to use all six elements, even if imperfectly. Nightmare doesn't even try, despite their power if she could
To be fair, asking why Luna didn't try and use the EOH is like asking why Superman doesn't try and use a Kryptonite mech suit.
Its very clearly one of her weaknesses due to her disharmony, its a bad idea to try and mess around with that (Like how they retconned Sombra to not wanting to use the crystal heart because it was dangerous to him, he just wanted to hide it away so it couldn't be used against him)
>>29394162
That's because it's shit. "Praise glimmer, ignore logic: the comic".
Shit, the EOH aren't "Order" or shit like that, they're explicitly FRIENDSHIP. Saying that Discord could be defeated by a friendship speech by Glimmer while ignoring that the EOH should have done the same damn thing is fucking grating as well since it only does that to shill Glimmer as the super special sue that must be praised.
>>
>>29393303
Bullshit, its not a meme. its true. This comic portrays her as being better at friendship than Twilight, a true successor or co-equal to the princess of friendship.
And the Most recent chapter book also did the same thing, portraying both twilight and glimmer as Co-equals in friendship, equally as wise. Not to mention the LAST comic which did the same thing showing Twilight and Glimmer being needed together (and equally wise) to beat that Plant monster).
how the fuck can anyone deny her coming place in the EOH? Most probably they'll give her the element of magic as her element and give twilight a new macguffin instead, like a new crown of friendship, or scepter of friendship, or something like that.

Without using actual magic, and by mindfucking Accord a near omnipotent being who took on 3 Alicorn princesses and the Elements of Harmony.
>>
>>29395372
>pushed back a week
Fucking why?
>>
>>29389238
Accord says the Elements won't work on him without Twilight. Just like in season 2 they still light up for a bit but ultimately they do nothing against him. So yes they did watch the show.
Then Accord uses the elements for non harmony purposes without all the bearers, which we know is possible thanks to Magical Mystery Cure.

>Then Accord uses the elements for non harmony purposes without all the bearers, which we know is possible thanks to Magical Mystery Cure.
The elements weren't being used to cast the spell, the spell was either A) cast on the elements or B) cast on her friends, and the elements changed in response. After RoH they were never used without all bearers present and only for harmonious purposes.

So what the heck is Guardians of Harmony, anyways?
>>
>>29412149
A marketing scheme.
At it's core is a line of toys that attempts to broaden the brand into more gender neutral territory with poseable action figures.
Similar to how Equestria Girls broadened the brand appeal into a slightly older audience interested in high school drama, but with a fraction of the budget put behind it.
If regular MLP:FiM toys is Zhu Zhu Hamsters, Guardians of Harmony wants to be the boy version, "Kung Zhu Ninja Hamsters" or whatever they're called.
Unless I'm missing something, it really shouldn't affect anything in the show, and the comic label is just that, a label, seeing as comic arcs and especially show finales/premieres already are way into the adventurous action-packed "boy territory".

Actually, what I do is pull the lettering from the rest of the comic, insuring it's as perfect a match as possible once I do a bit of reformatting and spacing. The result is text that looks natural, regardless of whether or not it actually is.

>>29412901
It wasn't done in the show or another comic and was written specifically for the toyline?
>>
>>29412909
They have an annual every year, and it's all made for one toyline or the other. Even the show itself is made to sell a toyline.
In what way is it written differently from other comics?
>>
>>29412946
It's not written differently from the comics. The point is that they gave it its own thing instead of just making stories in a regular comic with elements of GoH in it.
