Nope, imagefag fella.

Redemption is bad because it removes a good source of conflict from the show, which could have been used to drive good stories and plotlines.

This is basically 1970's Tom and Jerry or that Simpsons episode where Itchy and Scratchy show became "Kid friendly" and became unwatchable shit.

>>30904857
It's Jim, what did you expected from him?
Compromise?

>>30904615

No, it wouldn't. The fandom overall is a lot less fond of Starlight than they were Twilight as well as being half the size or smaller than it was at that point.

>>30904554
Seems like she goes into this one solo, no hive replenishment.

>>30904880
We need a good staff.

>>30904896
They'd still be upset cause Starlight did a lot less in a lot less of time to "earn" princesshood. Beside, what would she be the princess of? "Just throw magic at it"?

>>30904900
It's a well known fact that the pony fandom is stupidly rich and ready to throw money at anything.
We should crowdfund something to buy the rights to the show and give it back to Lauren.

Can't be that expensive given how it's on the decline.

>>30904554
Keep her as a permanent villain, like Skeletor.

But seriously, it would make sense and be awesome. I want to see Chrsalis raise up a new hive that contends against Thorax who is the new leader of the old hive in a changeling 'civil' war of sorts. Then as Chrysalis gets defeated, she is deemed as dangerous a villain as Tirek is and gets banished to Tartarus. Simply redeeming her is a massive fucking cop-out and I can see no future creativity coming from that.

Did Twilight open a school?

>>30904773
Foreshadowing to her new form?

>>30905055
Yes it does right now. Because the board's gone to irredeemable shit this past year, everyone's so far up their own ass they can't even see their own autism anymore, so normal discussion is impossible, if you try to talk about anything you'll get showered with shitty memes and now even the show is turning to absolute bumfuck g3 shit.

>>30905063
>What if the weird changeling in the bottom left is reformed Chrysalis?
I would laugh my ass off cause that's the shittiest possible design they could pick. That's a downgrade so far it's not even offensive anymore, but hilarious.

>>30905108
>if you try to talk about anything you'll get showered with shitty memes
True. Because of this sometimes people are failing to see that Starlight is a decent character and Jim and Vogel did nothing wrong.

>>30905125
It wouldn't make too much sense to reform her into a "Good Queen Chrysalis" since we already have Thorax. Either she gets reduced to a sickly form like that changeling, she becomes another species altogether, or she dies.

>>30905143
>or she dies.

It would just befucking weird to have Chrysalis become a reformed queen when Thorax is already king.

I think it's good.

>>30905252
The new castle will be Twilight's new home.

>>30905283
Not to mention that kings and queens in cartoons are typically married. Obviously Chrysalis and Thorax wouldn't be married, so unless Chrysalis rules a different group of changelings, she won't be a queen.

>>30905286
If it doesn't belong to Starlight, Chrysalis, or a new character, it'll probably some sort of "friendship retreat"

>>30905285

>>30905355
Now that I think about it, she's never been explicitly called the mother of Thorax and the rest of the hive. Maybe it is just my headcanon after all. The wedding was only part of the plan to take over Canterlot. It works for me both ways.

Considering he's now part of the "ancient Mane 6" that comprises all the ancient heroes that have been introduced in the past few episodes, it's very likely he'll finally show up in the finale.

Especially since the villain will likely be Cosmos, recycled from the original movie plot.

>>30904990
I'm glad they don't. The characters tend to do so much better when paired with others. Parental Glidance would have been shit if it was a pure RD episode, same with perfect pear and AJ. Fluttershy leans in was a solo fluttershy episode and it was shit, so was honest apples.

Rarity is one of the few characters who can effortlessly carry an episode on her own because she bounces wonderfully off everyone else. I wanted to see Tabitha go full ham for 20 minutes. I don't care for Pinkie and Cake Twins bullshit in a Rarity episode. Either give full attention to one plot or don't at all. Doing this kind of half-half bullshit will only result in a rushed mess that satisfies nobody. Fuck's sake.

>>30905665
I'm not sure how I feel about this. This feels pretty similar to the CMCs marks, but with them, they have spent the entirety of the show going for this same goal. I am not sure how to feel about the mane 6 getting it with something as vague as friendship.

.....I don't get it.

Bugmom did recon on every one of the mane 6 and didn't give a shit about Glimmer. That makes no sense at all.
She'd already succeeded in subverting Ponyville last time and replaced those six.... it was GlimGlam who came in and wrecked all of her plans because she DIDN'T know enough about her or plan for her.

She promised to make Glimmer's life a living hell. She has an established bent against her. And she does Zero Recon? Glim is addressed 0% in her new plans?

What the fuck even?

>>30905698
Who could easily be one and the same.
Male alicorn villain? Ancient evil that required Star Swirl and co. to stop? Old movie script was entirely reworked to no longer have to do with the lost city of the alicorns and Celestia & Luna's brother?

>>30905719
She's not trying to defeat Glimmer. If it were that simple she could just vodoo Glimmer into killing herself.

Thorax proved that the way for Changelings to sustain themselves is to spread love, not feed off it.

Chrysalis lied to everyone to keep them subservient. Thorax broke them free of it.

Who's she got to lie to now? The only thing for her would be to live in denial or accept redemption and stop starving herself to perpetuate the now-dead lie.

>>30905719
I think that the episode will be exactly like EqD predicted, "it is up to Starlight Glimmer to once again save the Mane6 from Chrysalis' revenge." But the truth is, Chrysalis ignoring Starlight sounds way too stupid even for Haber.

Does anyone think that maybe they didn't fuck up for once, and all the setup leads to something that would gave a more important role to the mane 6 in the premiere? Knowing the current writers, I literally can't imagine any possible scenario where they were more important than Starlight, but maybe there is something I didn't think about. Any ideas that could save the premiere from being utter shit?

>>30905728
Starlight is Jim's OC, what did you expect? Of course he ll force it everywhere

I'm legitimately confused, how is anyone getting Chrysalis will be redeemed from this? is there no chance of getting a repeat of S6 finale, she does villain stuff, gets beaten, escapes?

>>30905762
>>30905814
Doesn't Thorax mention a group of renegade changelings unwilling to transform in Triple Threat?

>>30905810
and she's probably the one who's poses the biggest threat as she could literally replace half the population of the whole country with the right amount of planning and patience, it's actually really fucking easy to imagine her being able to consistently escape capture

>>30905844
That's about Cutie Marks and their purpose, not about Twilight's friendship lessons.

>>30905814
Catch me up, are there other Changelings out there?

Introducing a second brood is just circling the drain. It would just draw things out to no useful end to Chrysalis's characterization.

I mean they already have characters in the teacher role and unlike the mane 6, the CMC were built up to that role for quite some time. I would hate to see twilight making the mane 6 teachers of their elements despite those elements not being that relevant for several seasons.

>>30905851
Of course, anon, but we all know that Starlight Glimmer is going to save the day in the end just like in the Season 6 finale. Can't stop the GlimGlam!

>>30905845
By "To Change a Changeling", he mentioned that they had all reformed except for Pharynx.

So, yes, but they addressed that in the show too.

>>30905799
Season 01 and 02 managed to be funnier and more imaginative, even if they had a lower age rating, were way less ambitious and used clunky flash assets.

>>30905863

>document the friendship work your TEACHERS do
Twilight is starting her own school for friendship. Those new characters are probably staff.

>>30906075
It worked for the CMC characters who the writers actually spent time building up their understanding of cutie marks and showing us that they a great disposition for teaching others. I just don't see how ANY of the mane 5 are supposed to be good teachers bar maybe fluttershy, rainbow dash hates anything to do with school, AJ is too reliant on "muh tradition," rarara is completely oblivious to the obvious, pinkie pie is too randumb to teach (and I am not sure how teaching the element of laughter would even work). I feel like this is either going to turn the mane 6 into mary sues, ignoring all of their weaknesses, or it will be a cringefest bringing out the worst of each of the mane 5s episodes into one big mess.

>>30904917
>meanwhile adventure time will end in 2017

>>30906087
That would make sense. That would also mean that the school of friendship will be introduced in the S7 finale. I'm generally optimistic for the future of MLP but a school of friendship sounds just retarded. For whom is that school made? Foals? They already attend regular school. Adults? That's just stupid. My guess is that it's just a glorified therapy institute.

>>30906106
Yeah, and them doing it about 5 seasons too late is fucking stupid.

>>30906125
>glorified therapy insitute
They did that a lot better with the CMC. It's going to either be for foals or adults.

>>30906113
by all means, make assumptions based on the latest load you pulled out of your ass.

>>30906138
How do you see a school of friendship working besides the options I mentioned? Retreading what CMC episodes did better?

>>30906130
>the princess of friendship finds more ways to spread her message

how dumb

>>30906137
Not to mention that, if all we say here is actually going to happen the way we think it is, the problems will be extremely mundane. In seasons 5-6-7 they travelled the entire world for interesting conflicts.

glimmercorn is going to be the series finale, prove me wrong.

>>30906170
Nope, Twilicorn will end in the series finale because S8 is the final season.

>>30906113
>>30906155
Spike teaching a lot of the classes, or Twilight.

>>30906168
The school decision really baffles me. The CMC were limited to ponyville because they were kids and that is part of the reason why having them teach people how to get cutie marks was such a good idea.

I don't get why they would do that with the mane 6, characters who can go on adventures any where.

>>30906181
The spoilers already revealed that there were more than one teachers besides twilight.

>>30904554
She is just pissed that her ways were wrong and bitched out because of that. As soon as she accept that this is how she should have done she will become redeemed. I like this.

>>30904917
>this show has more episodes than FOP

where does the funding for the school come from? Are the teachers just like scruffy, doing it for free?

>>30906155
any other way.

the above just focuses on the worst possible way because people on this board love being pessimistic.

i dont see how AJ's traditions should get in the way. There's nothing that says RD won't be a good practical teacher, she just doesn't like Tilight's style of teaching. Pinkie and Rarity can teach by just doing the same stuff they do daily; make your friends smile by doing random shit and make them happy by giving something you made for them. Also, where does Rarity "misses the obvious" so much that its a character trait? Flutters can also teach practically rather than standing infront of a class.

There's plenty of ways to portray it if you use your imagination and not being the kind of pessimistic asshole that just shits on everything.

>>30906243
Twilight wants to build a school and have Rarity pay for it.

source? legitimately interested here, if they made it after the movie aired I wouldn't be surprised but since it's before it makes me think they're gearing up to completely revamp the series with a new artstyle and probably a different approach to the episodes, and all of next season will just be a build up to it

I mean, there's always little moments between their usual day to day activities where they'll have free time, but to try to establish a curriculum with already very busy ponies does sound problematic.

That's before any map/world saving calls are ushered, too.

it's like you don't think everything she does hasn't been methodically been planned out

>>30906279
dude, its a cartoon. lighten up.

>>30906296
>it's like you don't think everything she does hasn't been methodically been planned out
yeah, methodically, just like the first two times she invaded equestria, amirite.

Once again /mlp/ is missing the point. Who is going to run Twilight's School for Gifted? Glimmer. Where is this building located? Nowhere.

If it was any other cartoon that comes and goes for 2 seasons, your meme might hold some water.

>>30906296
the first 3 points make sense and i can see being what they are doing but the last 3 are definitely too much for the show, they aren't gonna make an arc out of it, as cool as that sounds.

>>30906311
I can see Glimmer heading it, while twilight still does her "royal duties"

>>30905009
>that bingo chart
you're supposed to fill out a row not black the whole sheet

>>30906255
I like the later seasons more than the earlier ones, I'd say I am usually pretty optimistic about the show, but I just don't see how this concept works in a way that hasn't been done by the CMC already.

Honest Apple made it pretty clear that AJ's traditions blind her to any situation that doesn't directly involve them. She would be way too rigid to be a good teacher and there really hasn't been any sign that she is interested in helping others learn unless it involves her family.

The problem with RD is that there really isn't a practical way to teach friendship without invoking the methods twilight uses. You can't just coach someone on how to be friends as it is happening, as that would ruin the entire thing.

>Also, where does Rarity "misses the obvious" so much that its a character trait?
>That time when Sweetie Belle asks Rarara to only slightly fix up the dresses and she remakes them entirely instead
>That time after rarara learned SB hates being overshadowed by her that instead of listening to her when she wants to make a traditional cart, rarara makes the best creative cart she could ignoring SB entirely
>That time when SB makes it abundantly clear she is no longer interested in the activity rarara claims she is interested in, rarara still insists that SB is and doesn't even understand this after SB explicitly snaps at her

And these are only considering the times that sweetie belle was involved. It turns out its nearly every single time.

Pinkie pie would be too randumb to teach people how to make stable friendships.

Fluttershy could work, but one out of five isn't a good sign.

These also don't consider the other possibility of the writers completely ignoring the mane 5s flaws and making them perfect teachers.

>faggot's

>>30906311
Who gives a shit if Glimmer runs it. as long as she isn't an alicorn, student becomes teacher, full circle.

her being a teacher in the school makes more sense and also is a better path than becoming an alicorn.

>>30906325
But, Twilight will no longer do to her duties because she rather be with her friends than doing her royal duties with the three princesses in S8.

>>30906337
True, but I personally would have wanted Glimglam to be shipped off to Canterlot to do crazy magic things with Sunburst. Oh well. You can't always get what you want.

>>30906067
You will loose your legs and stop posting by S8.

>>30906001
Is mom going to be doing G5?
No?

Then there won't be anything really new.
Fuck her political views, she makes some damn good cartoons.

>>30906348
Glimmer is a part of the show now, that has to be accepted. her taking duties in the school sounds like a great path for her. what matters is that she isn't gonna become an alicorn like everyones been doomposting about the last 2 years

>>30906346
she still has duties. if you watched the show, you might have noticed.

>>30906311
why would Starlight run Twilight's school? Twilight doesn't run Celestia's school
>the movie and S8 will be the end of MLP:FiM
>Twilight will become like Celestia only rather than being in politics and making peace with other nations she runs small things like the friendships in Equestria
>Glimmer will be left to do whatever
>a year or two from now a new MLP series will start, being more adventure focused with overall more mature themes
>Vogel and Haber will be left behind as a new team is made for the new show

Shut up! Hasbro will lose more money after the movie and will go the hell!

>>30906305

Yes. She was very methodical and would have won.

>>30906357
>Glimmer is a part of the show now, that has to be accepted
Not entirely sure what you mean here, but in the same capacity, the Princesses are also part of the show and not necessarily with any lesser roles, despite less screen time. I feel the same should be done to glim. Away from the Mane 6 but still fulfilling a major and important role within the show at large.

AHAHAHA. They restricted recording at the movie panel. No new footage for us. Nobody had the balls to record it. It's like Hasbro is afraid of people seeing more from the movie or something?

>>30906361
She doesn't act like royalty because it's NOT her destiny, it's ruins her life!

>>30906366
Twilight will NOT act like Princess Celestia, she wants to be like Starswirl the Bearded NOT being a princess!

Can't wait until a new stupid OC is introduced for no fucking reason and starts stealing Starlight's spotlight, like Starlight did with the mane 6. It's gonna be great.

>>30906399
can such autism exist?
>She doesn't act like royalty because it's NOT her destiny, it's ruins her life!
care to cite some evidence?

>she wants to be like Starswirl the Bearded
she looks up to starswirl's legacy and what he has accomplished, at best.

>>30906399
Oh, you wish. But we're 3 seasons too late

>>30906368
Go back to playing with your toy trains you dumb manchild.

>>30906311
This actually sounds like a plausible idea. Starlight needs to leave Twilight's castle at some point as they mentioned in Celestial Advice. Her taking up residence at the school and becoming a teacher would make sense for her character progression.

>>30906399
>She wants to be like Starswirl the Bearded NOT being a princess
Hasbro killed that Twilight. The fake in her place wants to be a perfect pretty Princess.

>>30906399
Why mentally ill people are allowed to use computer?

>>30906416
One, she's just her mother, Twilight Velvet from G1.

And two, she's like Harry Potter and Starswirl is Albus Dumbledore.

>school
>read "castle"
All this means is that when Glim becomes an alicorn it won't happen until the end of S8.
After Flurry Heart the introduction of another alicorn wouldn't even be a big deal. She could just go on teaching at friendship school or whatever. It's not like Twilight really does anything more significant.
