Her special talent is NEVER FUCKING LEAVE THE FARM, and that's all she wants.

>>29596836
Applejacks issue as a character is that she has NO goals or dreams in life; this gives the writers nothing to do with her since they can't make episodes about her working towards a goal like with dash or Rarity.

she literally just wants to sit in her house going "Ahm happy because appuls" all her life. Even FAUST gave her something to work for, even if it was just "I want to make money because we're poor".

Applejack's family and their farm is what matters the most to her, and both offer plenty of opportunities for conflicts to build a story on. Rainbow Dash is worse off. She's a Wonderbolt, but they have to slide that under the rug for convenience because if she was expected to take it as seriously as the other Wonderbolts, then she wouldn't be around in Ponyville anymore.
Also, Wonderbolt episodes are boring as fuck.

Celestia and Luna weren't born as alicorns

>>29597115
but they were. they said there hasnt been an alicorn birth in equestria, and there hasnt. equestria was founded without them by the 3 pony tribes and they came in later with star swirl.

>>29597115
"That equestria has seen"
Alicorns both predate equestria's founding and come from other locations. No alicorn has been born since Equestria was Founded.

Granted, this is partially because Celestia and Luna seem to have an aversion to fucking it seems.

>>29596912
>Reforming discord
Oh, you mean the bastard who backstabbed fluttershy like it was nothing?
TWILIGHT reformed discord, Fluttershy's actions mean shit. And Dash just flew fast, that means nothing. Its now canon that tons of ponies, like the wonderbolts, can fly that fast, Dash is utterly unimpressive, she's nothing special. I mean, good god, Lightning dust was better than she was.

NONE of the other 5 deserve shit. none of them. Not a single one of them is impressive nor do they deserve any reward of any kind. They're lucky they get to go on missions with twilight, that's how pointless they are.

>Oh, you mean the bastard who backstabbed fluttershy like it was nothing?
>TWILIGHT reformed discord, Fluttershy's actions mean shit.
alright you fuck, its time for show discussion.

fluttershy was the first creature, presumably in all the universe, who decided discord could be a friend. this entire concept was new to him, as is shown by his shitty attitude and cheeky approach to "friendship."

fast forward to tirek since thats what youre talking about. everyone was already waiting for discord to betray them, except fluttershy. discord figured that none of them actually thought of him as a friend despite what they said because of this. he even challenged fluttershys friendship with him by saying "surely you saw this coming."

now this is important anon. it all happened in like 5 seconds and it wasnt directly pointed out by the show. discord expected fluttershy to join along with the others and talk about what a piece of shit he is and how she never should have trusted him. but she didnt. she was genuinely hurt because she genuinely trusted him. this is when he has his "i fucked up" moment because this is the moment he realized she really was his friend and he just betrayed her. he turns away when tirek drains her because hes ashamed of his actions. you cant feel shame without feeling regret.

by now it was too late for him to do anything about it though. tirek was already too strong and so he attempted to play it off, but was betrayed shortly after. he spend the rest of the episode feeling like a piece of shit and even apologizes to fluttershy without any cheek or sarcasm. it was heartfelt and sincere, and he has shown nothing but a overly protective attitude for her ever since.

also dash set all the wonderbolt records which implies shes still the fastest.

>>29597251
>also dash set all the wonderbolt records which implies shes still the fastest.
She still gets beat by Spitfire, who's... not that impressive.
>>29597251
Then why was discord's Apology and thanks directed to TWILIGHT and not fluttershy?

Twilight is the truly important one in relationship to discord, not fluttershy; its why we've had a shit ton of twilight-discord episodes and virtually none for fluttershy-discord apart from the smooze one.

of course glimmer deserves to be an alicorn. This was apparent from the start She understands friendship better than twilight and her destiny is to rule others. She's wiser than celestia in the comics, more competent than Twilight in the season six finale, and the best unicorn mage that has existed, even more than starswirl.

I'm glad its been shown she's going to be in the movie. I was worried for a bit.

Also, what the fuck is Pinkie Pie accomplishing, aside from shoving her autism in the audience's face?

there will always be someone who needs encouragement to smile, a laugh to make them feel better
>>29597411
as he says, misery is eternal, so she pushes everyday to make others happy

what about the episode where literally all of pony broke down into anger, pettiness and fights because there wasn't someone there to give them all a smile?
when a simple song and yelling for them to smile fixed the days of everyone present?
the laughter and brightness she brings to others' lives is the most wonderful life goal, and also the hardest in my eyes.
she bears the sorrow of all she meets, from the very first day that she greets them with a smile

To be honest, I think Twilight being the only princess is perfectly acceptable. And we have a good equilibrium built. Twilight is the leader and Starlight is her overpowered student in Equestria, just as Sunset is the leader and Scilight is her overpowered student on Earth.
But if Starlight thinks she's ascending before Sunset then we got problems.

Well, they already shoved in Candyass and Hate Fuck, so it's not like they cannot create more princesses. Just make sure they are deserving of their position instead of showing up out of nowhere

>>29597592
You do realize that, regardless of Shimmerfags views, Sunset's not that popular, right? The kids don't care about her that much, hence her demotion and the lack of toys for her.

>>29597595
RD is too petty, mean spirited and full of herself to be worthy of ascension. She's barely better than Glimmer.
Likewise, Applejack is too small-minded, and Pinkie, no, just no. She cannot be trusted with magic. But Rarity has potential, and Fluttershy should have been made a princess already, as she reformed the motherfucking god of chaos. That's a pretty big deal, it's a lot more than what Cadance did to get her position.

I feel like one of these days they're gonna have to explain the nature of Celestia and Luna. You know why they're immortal, or at least long lived, and why other Alicorns keep being created or born in the case of the Pony Muad'dib later renamed Flurry Hearts.

>>29597616
And just because season 6 went heavy on the Starlight push doesn't necessarily mean she's popular. Comprende, amigo?

>>29597568
they tried having spike as a princess, it failed because being raised by an autist stunted his ability to judge things from a rational perspective, ask for help when it is clearly needed, or bite the bullet and admit that the weight he is trying to bear is crushing him.

He cracked under pressure because all of the responsibilities that were shoe-horned onto his plate weren't delegated properly to even out the weight of his responsibilities.
the number one skill of a leader is learning how to delegate responsibilities without being careless or failing to manage those who are taking on the weight.
twilight attempts to use lists to make it seem like she can bear all of the weight of her obscene self-appointed responsibilities, thus he learned that organization is always be a replacement for dividing a work load, despite the fact that her various breakdowns when she inevitably is crushed by the responsibilities she is unwilling to mete out to others.

A perfect counter to this is celestia.
she may be the head of the country, but I'm certain she has figured out a near-perfect trickle-down system of government where despite her making the final calls and running the country, she puts much of the weight on the system she has built, so she can focus on diplomatic and judicial responsibilities.
A fair example is her asking twilight to host the Yaks. She could have done it herself, but it is clearly a stressful job, requiring much micro-management and research into their culture, and she knew that it would be a better choice to allow twilight and her friends to bear the weight of that event, freeing her up to perform her duties more efficiently.
the reason spike, and even twilight aren't suited to rule, is because they try to bear all of the weight. twilight is doing better with this, since she is learning to ask her friends for help, but spike hasn't had these same experiences and adventures, meaning he hasn't really learned to count on others to help him

You can't use that as proof of destiny not existing when it ended up prevailing in the end.

She stopped it a gajillion times, and created alternate timelines. The one where she didn't stop is just one timeline.

>>29598236
But she could have.
She made a choice to stop screwing time over and allowing events to play itself over after seeing the world unravel into a wasteland.

Its nowhere near the same as Twilight's ascension or Flurry's birth where either have a choice in deciding things. She could have just as easily kept this cycle going until either they can't go any further or something else happens.

But she DIDN'T. The point of destiny is that you COULD technically screw it, but in the end you DON'T because your free will itself is subservient to destiny.

>>29597896
That's a 53.26% approval rate, which means that a majority of the fandom wants more of her.

This destiny talk makes me want an episode where one of the mane six has to take on a responsibility but feels its against their destiny in life with their cutie mark, and getting a "That's more of a suggestion" moral in the end.


Maybe applejack or fluttershy since they have nothing to go on for the show writers.

but she didnt.

But that would imply that everything was already predetermined, which it wasn't and isn't.

The only time that was the case was when Twilight sent herself back in time to inform her past instance of events to come, only for events to repeat themselves

Twilight admitted herself that her battle against Starlight would ultimately shape the future.

Starlight didn't keep this struggle going because she -chose- not to after so many resets and her own considerations of what was at stake. To accept that destiny is absolute and cannot be defied or circumvented (which it temporarily was during this conflict) from all the alterations created is straight up false.

She chose to allow things to play its course as it "ought to", but her choice was from the efforts of another - not destiny itself.

>which it wasn't and isn't.
Making alot of assumptions there. Nothing changed despite everything that happened, which kind of implies that pre-destination exists.

>>29598351
not to mention the table stayed in each new timeline despite twilight obviously not being around with her friends to create it in the first place.

>>29598351
I think it's YOU that's making the assumptions here, m8.

>>29598351
Nothing changed because the effects of their battle only existed and were contained within one timeline, as another anon mentioned.

Even Zecora noted that things were that shouldn't have been. Once the anomaly (willingly) stopped occurring (Starlight interfering with the race) of course things would fall back into place.

>>29598374
The timeline remained unchanged, everything was guided back to normal, and you're saying that Destiny doesn't exist despite things immutably returning to normal?

The evidence is in favor of destiny, not against it.

>>29598386
ONE timeline remained unchanged, and that's because Starlight willingly chose not to fuck with it. The whole point of the episode was to show how the changing of one tiny little thing can change everything, nothing is set on stone, and things don't spontaneously get their shit together afterwards.

>>29598386
>The timeline remained unchanged
Yeah, because they were only messing with events that "already happened". Whenever they were altered, the timeline changed drastically.

If destiny was all-powerful, things would have fallen into place towards a certain result no matter what happened to any certain event.

Of course, once previous events were allowed to occur as they originally did in the past of that singular timeline, they ended up with the series of events they were familiar with once again.

Its not destiny at play there - its their time's sequence of events being altered (causing distortions) and then being allowed to occur as they did once before.

>>29598430
One timeline is all that exists.

>>29598430
>ONE timeline remained unchanged
are you even listening? why did the table exist in every timeline if it was its own timeline?

it don't matter
none of this matters

>>29598432
You're thinking small minded.

Destiny exists in a meta, unchangeable manner. The timeline was changed temporarily because in a meta way it was STILL falling back into place.

You're looking at the timeline asking why things didn't go back to normal, but you're looking at it from the view of someone INSIDE the timeline-- Outside of time, it DID go back to normal. THAT is destiny.
That reality will eventually alter time ITSELF so things fall back into place, not just in single time, but in meta-time as well.

Meghan once confirmed it as Empathy, but to Hasbro is seems to be officially Redemption

>>29598476
Its probably going to go to redemption and they'll ignore the redemption thing. That's probably something the advertising department thought up without asking the team, like the "Chivilary" thing for Flash.

>If destiny was all-powerful, things would have fallen into place towards a certain result no matter what happened to any certain event.

Yes, the concept of destiny is something inevitable and inescapable. No matter how one tries to change things they will always have the same outcome, "choice" being irrelevant. In fact attempting to avoid destiny would create the very conditions to fulfill it. The S5 finale has clearly shown that outcomes CAN be changed, choice does matter, therefore destiny is not into play.

>>29598442
Are you retarded? The table kept existing for the same reason Twilight, Starlight and Spike from the main timeline kept existing. It was stuck in the time loop. After all, it WAS the thing used to cast the time travel spell in the first place. The table survived, but the rest of the castle ceased to exist because there wasn't a princess to harness the element of magic. If destiny existed the castle would be there no matter what.

Twilight stated the table existed because the tree of harmony WILLED IT, not because of any other reasons. Which implies the Tree exists outside time itself in some manner.

>>29598510
destiny has always been a central theme to this show, and that's why it mostly sucks

>>29598572
The tree already existed from way before the point Starlight started fucking with time, of course it would still exist. What's even your point?

>>29598586
The episode where the CMC get their cutie marks is all about how destiny doesn't define your life.

>destiny doesn't exist
>at the end of the day everything worked out like it was supposed to
>"IT DOESN'T EXIST THO"
is this anon dense? Like >>29598466 says, you're thinking too small. Yes in that individual sequence of events someone succeeded in altering the course of events inside their little 'loop'. But what happened? That eventually stopped. Things returned to how they were supposed to be, THAT'S destiny, it works on a scale wholey above everything else, and like other fiction with overriding destiny, Starlight stopping was what was supposed to have happened, she didn't "decide" shit, the course of things was to have her eventually stop, and stop she did. Destiny takes precedence over free will, even if the characters effected by it don't realise this.

>>29598681
You are overthinking this. This ain't some mindfuck anime. None of your claims are even remotely verifiable.

>>29598737
Everything went back to normal. Nothing Starlight did changed anything.
THAT is 100% verified.

>>29598681
>Everything works out as its supposed to
See, you're going way too far. That's beyond the scope of the show's events and time itself and falls in the domain of the serie's direction and its handling to the writers.

Of course "everything works out" in the end. There's no way they will leave a finale on a massive cliffnhanger that leaves the viewers wondering which direction things will go from here. There's no way they'll have a remotely bad end.

Everything works out is not "destiny". Its the way the show itself is handled.

>>29596882
You're a fucking idiot and have been watching too much Broadway.

>>29598751
Things went back to normal because she CHOSE to allow that. How are you going to prove that she didn't choose out of her free will, but because destiny somehow imposed the outcome? Why things didn't magically fall into place in the timelines that she DID interfere?
