>comic book talks about a ton of magical objects stored beneath the empire
The GOH comics are going to try and fix the power discrepancy between Starlight/twilight and the other characters by giving each of the other 5 a magical artifact object like how they gave the mane six magical powers in legend of everfree. (Like AJ's lasso from the GOH toy will turn out to be a magical lasso or something in the comic like her Madame marevelous Self's rope)
Not bad.
I think only the first wave of GoH stuff is covered here sadly.
>>29555823
It could easily be setting the stage for future comics though-- hasbro has plans for ongoing Guardians of harmony stuff after all, and they seem to be pushing a focus on more action themed comics with the legends of magic series.
So its highly plausible they could intend to continue the Guardians of harmony series after the first 6 comics.
>>29555835
Sadly GoH was just an annual. I really hope that it becomes its own thing though. I'd rather hear about these stories instead of weird made up lore.
>>29555753
so the comics are going to be getting the power-ups we heard about before S6?
>>29556349
If you mean that animatic, that was fake and the person who made the video admitted it was fake.
>>29555872
It depends on how the toys sell. I heard they did well at christmas, but who knows? The equestria girls dolls sold well at first before they started bombing after RR.
>>29556573
GoH is a bit of a weird thing because its both a brand and like its own story. Who knows where it will go? Plus, people actually have received it well and Hasbro doesn't make too much.
>>29556603
well bronies will eat it up; outside of /mlp, where anything remotely actionish tends to be labeled "OW THE EDGE", alot of bronies crave more action/fighting in mlp. I mean, the only part of the S5 finale that seemed to have been 100% well recieved was dash's war timeline.
>>29556665
Would make a good Fan Series figure.
>>29555753
Didn't they casually mention some collection of magic relics when they were talking about Starlight's staff in the S5 premier?

"The Great Mage Meddlebrook's 8 Enchanted Items"
Glimmer claimed that the "Staff of Sameness" was the 9th Enchanted Item, but Twilight later remembered that there were only 8 Enchanted Items crafted by Meddlebrook (or at least, only 8 memorable enough to be recorded in history). It was later revealed that Glimmer's staff was a fake.
Tell you what, it would be some serious DEEPEST LORE bullshit if they actually ended up bringing that shit back in a way that wasn't as generic Deus-ex Machina shit like the Elements of Harmony were (seriously, I know the elements were there since the beginning and a lot of people like them but they were never used as anything other than auto-win plot devices and I'm honestly kind of glad they're gone now).
>>29557007
Man. Can't wait until Tuesday night now.

Oh yeah and she's still dead and in million of pieces.
>>29555753
That sounds dumb.
>>29557173
Well, sombra's crystal chunks were able to SLOWLY roll themselves to a set of stairs and down them.
Maybe after 1000 years Amore was able to get a shard of herself down to the tunnels beneath the empire to exist there?
Though, I'm calling this as being like a pre-recorded hologram she left behind, not "her", kind of like dr. light's capsules in megaman X.
>>29557064
I'm talking about other pony sites. /mlp is about the only one that goes crazy screaming about things being "Edgy" (like with tempest shadow)
>>29557064
>deliberately frequenting shit content
why ?
>>29555753
I'd be all for it so long as the artifacts they get were cool and matched who they are. Like, I don't want rainbow dash to get that shitty "sword" as her artifact, give her a better looking weapon. a sword's fine, just the sword with her toy looks like crap.
Maybe this means the badges?
time for ponies to pony-up!
>>29559026
Doubt it, those things are just ways to repackage cutie marks in a "Cool" way for boys.
>>29559267
They'll never be able to sell the term "cutie mark" to boys so long as they keep the name "cutie mark". Its like how making the MLP logo purple instead of pink will never work to make boys like it so long as there's hearts in the logo.
>>29559429
Put weapons in the CMs and its fine.
>>29559808
the word "Cutie" is a turn off. You'd need to change it into "Something else mark" for a name for it to work.
>>29559866
How about making it a backronym or something? "Courageous Unity Time in Equestria"
>>29559885
That just makes it sound stupid.
Its too late to change now, as its very clearly stated in show that both sexes marks are cutie marks, but should have just had girls marks be called cutie marks and guys marks be called something like bravery marks or something.
Fuck, this is an old S1 oldfag debate actually, people back then used to debate constantly how Guys should have different named marks XD (That even got a shout out in the comics with the girls talking in one comic about how guys should have a different name for their marks)
>>29559944
It comes from "beauty mark," which both sexes have. Whatever.
>>29557007
Not sure about becoming the new "power ups," but I hope Meadowbrook's items return in some way. Turning throwaway flavour lines into lore is what gave us stuff like Star Swirl the Bearded.
Come to think of it, both of those were by Larson. Those kinds of throwaway lore lines seem comparatively rare these days.
>>29557014
What did he mean by this?
>>29560230
That's when it finally comes out.
>>29560230
I'd rather get more lore about the alicorn amulet myself.
>>29555753
the mane six will all become alicorns
>>29559885
I like it.
>>29560857
>glim glam gets left out again
>>29560489
What if the Alicorn Amulet was one of Meadowbrook's enchanted items?
>>29562417
I like it.
>>29562417
Only if meadowbrook was evil, since that amulet was pretty fucking Non-kosher.
>It turns out Meadowbrook's items were all objects that tried to turn normal ponies into alicorns via dark magic
>the Inspiration manifestation book was the second of her items
>Every single one of them drives its user batshit fucking insane with power
>>29555753
>Magical creatures on the caverns
WTF? Are the umbrums slaves of amore?
>>29562714
Hope turns out to have been right after all, and amore was the truly evil one
>>29562751
I hope they clear king somba bad reputation
>>29562417
>Alicorn Amulet was created by amore
>The crystal heart is a lie
I LIKE THIS!
>>29563190
Meadowbrook's enchanted items are unrelated to the Crystal Heart. And Meadowbrook was specifically an "eastern unicorn."Not important, but interesting: Her name was originally Jasmine Flower in the script, as a more "eastern" name.
I wonder if it will be one of these dangerous magic to turn back Princess Luna into Nightmare Moon, and Spike in Spikezilla.
>>29555753
>GOH book.
When?
>>29565493
Release date ?
>>29565493
>>29567852
Tuesday. Unless I find it when I go to the shops today.
>>29567872
Thanks anon.
>No stores with MLP in my country
:(
>>29567892
You may not get the whole thing, might even just get spoilers and some scans that I find interesting.
>>29564509
Luna is 99% probably just going to be chrysalis in disguise to morally hurt celestia, just like the shadowbolts were changelings
As for spike, yeah, I'd wager there's probably some Temporary age potion or something down there.
>>29567938
>>29567892
>>29567872
No luck. Seems like the two shops I go go ordered every possible variant save for the Fosgitt GoH cover.
>>29568703
More like a growth spell, this isn't his adult form apparently. But its drawn by Fosgitt any way so there's a 90% chance of it looking underwhelming regardless.
