Why does everone keep going on about the eye-patch?
There are many reasons to wear an eye-patch that are far less severe than losing an eye, and given her unusual outfit the whole getup might well just be a costume. Same thing with the 'scar'. Future Twilight specifically says she's only from next Tuesday, so it's probably just a fresh cut, that she got from whatever it is she went through that tore up her clothes and frazzled her mane.
IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. NEXT TUESDAY MORNING ACTUALLY. ON A TIRED MEDIUM. PONIES HAVE BECOME AWESOME.

MLP... has changed.
It's no longer girly, cheap or stupid. It's an endless series of discussions, debated on fansites and message boards. MLP, and it's consumption of time, has become a well-made show.
MLP has changed. FIM fans carry FIM merchandise, wear FIM clothes. Celestia letters inside the episodes explain and indicate the subtext. Self-improvement reports, humorous reports, tolerance reports, Friendship reports. Everything is self-aware, and resumed in the reports.
MLP has changed! The age of indifference has become the age of creativity. All in the name of averting more lame shows from greedy, lazy network executives. And they who control production... control the show's quality.
MLP... has changed. When the franchise is under competent hands... PONIES BECOME AWESOME.
@itsosimple That implies that the rest of the sentence was: "Whatever you do, don't forget to rehearse your lines for the play: you'll end up humiliating yourself!"
@Shinuto Yes. Yes they will. It will disappoint because people hold high expectations, and this is one of those episodes that promises something that the show would not dare to do. Getting away with a MGS reference was probably far enough.
Twilight you are most certainly your own worst enemy. Metal Gear, Terminator,..I wonder how many other references they'll squeeze into this episode before it ends. For that matter will we see the whole week up till next Tues. or just random days as Twilight freaks out and attempts to fix things. Studio B and the rest of the staff are certainly setting up to knock this one out of the park.
I think it's swell that the fanon has picked up on Twilight's typical reaction to anything extreme is to over think and over question, and seeing it here is pretty cool.
@62835fdc-3fb1-11e1-9fc6-000bcdcb2996 Lol, well it needs to be bigger. Hell, this guy invented time travel, that's Celestia-level stuff. The whole library should be named after him.
I believe you mean Tyr, the nordic god of war, just like Thursday gets it's name from Thor and Wednesday gets it's name from Woden/Odin and Friday from Freya.
This is going to be hilariously epicly awesome. I love how adorkable Present Twilight is about learning about time travel. She is going to run herself ragged trying to figure what she is not supposed to do. I can't wait for the comic hijinks to ensue.
Oh Twilight....like so many other travelers of time that i have encountered,as well as myself, we have learned how dangerous tampering with time is, and how it can lead to an unwanted future what if. Now I'm not sure if that will be the case here, or if it will be a self fulfilling prophecy, but one thing i can say, time is a fickle thing. You really shouldn't mess with it, lest you create a new path of reality.....
...other than my musings on this, THIS IS EPISODE IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST ONE YET!!!!!!!!!!!
And now we have TWO badass & canon alternative versions of Twilight Sparkle. Awesome.
Twilight envisioning an epic pony war feels like yet another shout out to fan-culture. The sparks, eyepatch, and sneak suit really bring out MGS vibes as well... if it isn't outright on purpose. (*in deep voice* "Friendship has changed...")
Seriously, though. She needs to show some (self) respect for what she has to say. I know if myself from the future were to visit me with important news, I'd listen and obey myself in unquestioning fashion as others would a god.
Wasn't the season finale to have a lead-up earlier in the season? (If that wasn't "Hearts and Hooves Day")
My guess: Twilight gets mail about the upcoming engagement of her brother Shining Armor, and for some reason they're not speaking to each other anymore. When Twilight realizes the engagement was to Princess Cadence, she assumes the worst (use of potion, since she can't imagine her brother to be charming), but then it's too late to prevent anything. Cue Twilight breaking into the forbidden section of the Star Swirl wing to get a time travel spell, while the regular guards try to stop her. She makes it into the past, only to be unable to deliver the warning... and her past self wonders what was going on, comes across a mail from her brother and dismisses it as unimportant right now...

lol there were 404 comments when i posted ^^
ReplyDeletebut i really like the preview~ hope the actual episode is just as awesome!
Slightly disappointed because Dr. Whooves has got nothing to do with the time travelling part :(
ReplyDeleteMy body is so ready.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe that they gave "Future Twi" an eye patch. A character in a kids show had one of their eyes gouged out.
ReplyDelete@JitteryJoe
ReplyDeleteI think so too :). Although Snake Plissken's patch was on the opposite side.

Does anyone else notice the Terminator-esque time travel style?
ReplyDeletei guaruntee that the ending of that sentance is "whatever you do DONT USE TIME TRAVEL" or something ironic like that.

ReplyDeleteDO WANT!!!!!
I'm afraid of 1:11 remakes.
ReplyDeleteWe going to get trolled. She's part of a play p:
ReplyDeleteOh...my...god....terminator ponies.
ReplyDelete@itsosimple
ReplyDeletelol yeah: I'll bet her future self came back into the past for something much more mundane than it seems.
@itsosimple
ReplyDeleteThat implies that the rest of the sentence was:
"Whatever you do, don't forget to rehearse your lines for the play: you'll end up humiliating yourself!"
XD
Watching the clip, future Twilight starts to explain, she disappears - my phone dies. ARRRGH! Love it!
ReplyDeleteFuture Twilight is fucking badass. I sense many fanfics incoming.
ReplyDelete@Shinuto
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes they will.
It will disappoint because people hold high expectations, and this is one of those episodes that promises something that the show would not dare to do.

Well that was great, this episode looks like it'll be hilarious and the animation just seems to get better with every episode
ReplyDeleteI think it's swell that the fanon has picked up on Twilight's typical reaction to anything extreme is to over think and over question, and seeing it here is pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteHo-hum, so we have a mix of Metal Gear and Terminator here. Buuut, since I don't see any Terminator referances.
ReplyDeleteTwilight: I'm looking for Sarah Connor
You are not scientifically possible!
ReplyDeleteIt's official. Big Boss is best pony.
ReplyDelete@Laurence Brown
ReplyDeleteOn the other hoof, Pinkie Pie's Party Cannon IS Canon, and she does mention the cherrychimichonga deserts.. in the desert.
Okay, time displacement rundown:
ReplyDeleteBall of light - check
Lightning arcs - check
Percussion afterwards - un-check
WHY STUDIO B WHYYYY. How the hell could you miss important element like that, wtf.
Also time spells are already invented?! Double fuck, there goes my terminator crossover idea.
@Stolidus Snake
ReplyDeleteI read this out loud in Old Snake's voice. I've been waiting for somepony to parody that opening. :D
@Giniko
ReplyDeleteAre you that Giniko? What are you working on? PLEASE tell me you're doing something MLP related?
The warning is "Don't break your Pinkie promise."
ReplyDeleteThat pink pony has gotten a lot more serious about enforcing them, and the cupcake to the eye is brutal now.
Dear Hasbro/Lauren Faust/ Studio B,
ReplyDeleteI FREAKING LOVE YOU
love,
random person who will never stop loving you.
Present Twi: What? Is there some Great Pony War in the future of something?
ReplyDeleteFuture Twi: Actually I'm from next Tuesday morning.
Starswirl has a whole wing in the library? he only had a shelf named after him in 'Luna Eclisped'. His badass legend grows...
ReplyDelete@Redsoul
ReplyDeleteIt's a big shelf :-)
@62835fdc-3fb1-11e1-9fc6-000bcdcb2996 Lol, well it needs to be bigger. Hell, this guy invented time travel, that's Celestia-level stuff. The whole library should be named after him.
ReplyDeleteWhy Isnt THE DOCTOR HERE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to yell so loud right now!!!
ReplyDelete@FMP
ReplyDeleteI believe you mean Tyr, the nordic god of war, just like Thursday gets it's name from Thor and Wednesday gets it's name from Woden/Odin and Friday from Freya.
So anyway, where's her phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range?
ReplyDeleteDon't they have... ray guns in the next Tuesday?
@The_Owl
ReplyDeleteBuckin' teenagers...
Learn to nostalgia and go check out the movie Escape from New York.
Must... watch... now.
ReplyDeleteO M G
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be hilariously epicly awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love how adorkable Present Twilight is about learning about time travel. She is going to run herself ragged trying to figure what she is not supposed to do. I can't wait for the comic hijinks to ensue.
IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA!!!! YESSS!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're all missing the point. This can be summed up in two words:
ReplyDeletePINK.
BLOOD.
Whatever you do, don't reset the timer!
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does future Twilight look like Solid Snake.
ReplyDeleteOH, I almost forgot... Holy shit!
Oh I forgot to add that someone working on the show is a fan of Metal Gear.
ReplyDeleteOh Twilight....like so many other travelers of time that i have encountered,as well as myself, we have learned how dangerous tampering with time is, and how it can lead to an unwanted future what if.

why did i watch this? now it's going to be even harder to wait
ReplyDeleteMaybe Twilight built an invention that somehow drew the Reapers to Equestria.
ReplyDelete@Arcane Scroll
ReplyDeleteI know how we can explain this... "Megaspells"
What aliens? heck no I read fallout Equestria I know my shit!
And now we have TWO badass & canon alternative versions of Twilight Sparkle. Awesome.
