| I'll just assume this is discord for the time being, cause it's badass. |
The first episode has been confirmed! Information on it is below:
Episode 1: The Return of Harmony
Air Date: (Possibly) September 17th
Spoilered Synopsis: Discord escapes from his stone prison and Twilight and her friends act quickly to find the Elements of Harmony to stop him.
So what do you guys think this one will be about? It is now CONFIRMED as a two-parter.
*Update* Apparently a few months ago the entire episode storyline was leaked on /co/ (Text form, not the actual video). Here is the screencap, but do not bring it up in comments for the sake of major spoilers.

SO AWESOME
ReplyDeleteDO WANT
ReplyDeleteMY BODY IS SO FUCKING READY
ReplyDeleteYup. Only the air date is up in the air now. But you know how it is...
ReplyDeleteBut still, this should help stimulate the anticipation of the Brony community even more. :)
Who the fudge is Discord?
ReplyDeleteHow was it confirmed?
ReplyDeleteThe whole "find the Elements of Harmony" bit makes me wonder. Perhaps some comedy of them tearing their homes apart trying to find the necklaces and tiara from the pilot that weren't seen all year long? Either way I cannot wait to see what kind of personality they gave Discord. I can't imagine he'll just be a Nightmare Moon clone... And he'll have all season to be awesome. Eeeeeee~
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE NOT ALLOWED FREAK US OUT WITH AWESOME IMAGES LIKE THIS, SETH!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds awesome, but I hope it won't be like a copy of season 1's pilot episodes.
ReplyDeleteWho the heck is discord?
ReplyDeleteThis calls for a celebration! free classy cola for all!
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI sence paralells to season 1's two-part pilot. Needless to say: so close yet so far.
ReplyDeleteDiscord breaks into Canterlot and steals the elements, leading to an angry Celestia.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta~
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so awesome!
ReplyDelete:)
Who is Discord and why do I have the wingest boner right now?
ReplyDeleteI feel like they lost the Elements because they all assumed somepony else would keep track of them. (The same thing we thought)
ReplyDeleteI can read your spoiler without highlighting it.
ReplyDeleteNot that I mind but just thought I would let you know since someone else might.
As for the question: My guess is that "discord" could be the force Lauren Faust implied was the cause of Luna's corruption.
@CupcakesNom
ReplyDeletePersonally, I'm guessing that this Discord fellow, or one of his lackeys, will have stolen or hidden the Elements of Harmony beforehand, prompting the need for the mane 6 to search for them before they can put a stop to this new threat.
I don't have any idea how season 2 will play out, except that I will be ecstatic about everything.
ReplyDeleteit's a line for line remake of last years, redrawn by the same animators with a year's more experience under their belt. Rest of the season follows suit?
ReplyDeleteSeth idk, i demand sources! lol!
ReplyDeleteI just came. = |
ReplyDeleteMy guess for why they need to find the Elements of Harmony again: They lost them. During the party, with Luna back from the moon and eternal night banished, they got put somewhere, and quickly forgotten during the festivities. Cue some poor pony, stuck on clean up duty of possible the biggest party in Ponyville EVER just trying to get the mess cleaned up. He's been up for a LONG time now, what with the party the night before at the library, then the Summer Sun Celebration stuff, and then the Welcome Back Luna party... yeah, he's barely awake, and just scoops up those fancy pieces of jewelry with all the rest of the trash, and takes it to the Everfree Forest Landfill. We'll get to watch as Twilight Sparkle and the Elements of Harmony search through a massive dump in the hopes they can find Equestria's salvation!
ReplyDelete@U.H. And thats why they need to re-track them down. makes perfect sense to me. You have already figured it out! have a classy cola.
ReplyDeleteBRING OUT THE COLA AND THE CHIPS!
ReplyDeleteITS ALMOST PONY DAY AGAIN!
This is awesome, although that brief description did remind me a little too much of the season 1 pilot. But then, it is just a brief description. Hard to make anything of it.
ReplyDeleteI bet Discord is Blueblood's father. I have no idea why I think that, my brain is obviously fried. I should be sleeping, but now I can't!
YESSSSSS
ReplyDeleteI put my hand on the computer, and it does feel better now!
Woo, Elements of Harmony, love those things.
ReplyDeleteCELESTIA AND LUNA'S LONG LOST BROTHER HAS APPEARED!
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS GONNA BE,
ReplyDeleteSO. AWESOME.
/)^3^(\
If this episode involves Luna in any way, shape, or form, I'll be squeeing up a storm.
ReplyDeleteJIIIIZZZZ IN MY PAAAANTS
ReplyDeleteit's confirmed
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ponychan.net/chan/pony/thumb/131397952064s.png
@RGamer2009 *pulls in pallet of classy cola* Let the celebrations begin!
ReplyDeleteWhat's it about? Sounds like something fucking awesome to me.
ReplyDeleteOh YES! FINALLY! The end of the drought is in sight!
ReplyDeleteI'm too excited to think about anything
ReplyDeleteMy chest is starting to hurt. HNNNNGHHH!!
ReplyDelete*Shang Tsung voice*
ReplyDeleteIT HAS........BEGUN.
/in.
ReplyDelete(Marshmelon)
I definitely think it is a two-parter.
ReplyDeleteI am hoping Discord will be everything Nightmare Moon should have been - badass recurring villain!
ReplyDeleteI assume discord is the being that possessed luna and turned her into NMM and somehow obtained another physical body (maybe somehow relevant to the unnamed pony in twilights balloon on the comic con poster) and they have to stop him from using this new physical form to take out the elements of harmony so he cant bring the ponypocalypse upon us.......roughly speaking.
ReplyDelete@.@
ReplyDeleteNext month!? I HOPE MY BODY CAN TAKE IT. Don't want to BURST of EXCITEMENT and all.
That Discord is one bad mamma jamma.
ReplyDeleteMY BODY IS READY.
ReplyDeleteDiscord BETTER not be a Nightmare clone...
Anyway, I hope there will be "Buffy" and "Firefly" references! And a few "Castle" ones as well.
...Is Discord's Voice Actor confirmed yet? *prays that it's Nathan Fillion, because that would be AWESOME*
Well this news brightened my day. WITH THE INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
ReplyDeleteMY BODY IS READY
ReplyDeleteSHIT JUST GOT SURREAL.
ReplyDeleteI believe that Discord is just their (the crew's) interpretation of Nyx (Nix? I'm never quite sure) name changed so as to make things interesting. Then, directly after breaking out, he has ransacked the royal Vault (where the elements are no doubt held) and spread them to the ends of Equestria, the first (my vote is for a two-parter) half would be leading to the quest to find them, and then finding one or two.
ReplyDeleteThe Mane 6 then find all but the Element of Magic, which Discord has kept for himself. Epic batlle ensues, Twilight gets her Tiara/Element and uses the magic to subdue. Celestia pops out of nowhere and says "Good Job, now go back to ponyville"
I love how the first few comments were ALLCAPS YELLING.
ReplyDeleteAnyways... Fantastic news, Seth!
Positive Mindset: Woohoo! Moar Pony!
Negative Mindset: Oh, great... another all-powerful being for people to ship with...
But hay, that's only 4 weeks away (maybe)! Not very long now. The Hub's Ratings are going to f*cking skyrocket on the first airing of the episode.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteMaybe after the whole nightmare moon thing the elements, now unneeded, went back into hibernation somewhere, to be called upon again by the worthy when the time is right?
ReplyDeletealso, FUCK YEAR
@Brother_Fenir
ReplyDeleteAs TOTALLY FIKKIN COOL as that would be, I doubt it's likely.
Oh dear Celestia above, this is beyond awesome, this is downright EPIC.
ReplyDeleteRebel one! ACTION!
ReplyDeletei just jumped out of my seat and broke the ceiling (its a small room)...
ReplyDelete@David
ReplyDeleteGuy can dream, right?
Oh I wish that Pony pictured above is in the show lol.
ReplyDeletehttp://sibsy.deviantart.com/ Confirmed as a two-parter.
ReplyDeleteOhmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh and buck yeah :D :D xD
ReplyDelete@Fast and Free
ReplyDeleteDoubtful, at least for this season. The storyboard artist who confirmed Dischord's existence over in the other article said that she was under the impression that they were making the last episode of the season, but instead the Hub is going to show it first, start things off with a bang.
So, at the end of the episode he'll probably be defeated pretty definitively, though he may show up again if the show gets a third season.
I think I'll just step into my handy-dandy cryochamber for a few weeks...
ReplyDeleteA bunch of grown men incredibly excited for the new installment of a little girls show.
ReplyDeleteiamokaywiththis.flac
And then Elements of Discord are canon.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that Discord could be the thing that turn Luna into NMM and he now has an embodied form somehow. So learning from what happened last time he splits up the mane 6.
ReplyDeleteThats just my guess though
Seth, for some reason I get the feeling you've known about this for a little while, but wanted to speed up getting to 30 mil.
ReplyDeleteWhich is fine by me, as it gives me something to look forward to besides my first day of college tomorrow.
O.o; ...That pony....looks way over the top.
ReplyDeleteThis may be a bit too much for me. ._.;
@Kjh242
ReplyDeleteDat BlazBlue
If Discord does not have a golden apple for a cutie mark I'm going to be very disappointed.
ReplyDelete-explodes of eximent-...-explodes agian-
ReplyDeleteMy Hurbles just Kerburbled.
ReplyDelete@Introbulus
ReplyDeleteThat's not the real Discord.
http://ex626akakeon.deviantart.com/art/Neo-Black-Stallion-245053278
My guess: Al Capony is Discord.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteClearly the ep will end with Twilight & Discord having a Samurai duel on a windswept field of tall grass.
ReplyDeleteDelayed diagonal cut ending, of course.
Perhaps discord and the search for the elements will function as this season "grand galloping gala." Meaning it will work as the overarching plot of the season, with a few episodes spent finding the elements, and others spent like the first season (slice of life).
ReplyDelete>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Azz-6oT08c
ReplyDeleteCountdown timer!
ReplyDeleteWe NEEEEEEEED a countdown timer! Now!
I'm with Brother Fenrir, we need to figure out who voices Discord. I figure if we all work on checking every single wiki, facebook page or tweet about a male (or manly female) voice actor, we could have it figured out in about an hour.
ReplyDeleteGO GO GO GO GOOOOO!!!!
haha the spoiler isn't covered at all.. Well I knew that already from the previous post
ReplyDeleteI really hope this isn't a reboot or something. Because "finding" the Elements implies that they've been lost. And that contradicts what happened in the first two episodes. The ponies BECAME the Elements.
ReplyDeleteExpecting the worst (rehash of Season 1).
Hoping for the best.
I cant wait!! Now I have something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteDamnit Seth! I just got calmed down from the double K.O. from Fillystata and the rumor!
ReplyDeleteMy chest is killing me damnit!
RELEASE THE EPISODES ALREADY
ReplyDelete/)^3^(\
ReplyDeleteMY BODY IS READY
Oh god we over-sold it. Now when the first episode comes it'll blow. Best Night Ever all over again!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very adventure oriented start, like the last season had, I just hope it then goes back to mostly low-key slice of life episodes like most of season 1.
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings if this becomes "Sailor Moon With Ponies"...
why can't i,
ReplyDeletehold all these rumors
So they're aware that they hold the elements, assuming the writers are smart enough to NOT retcon it. Twilight and her friends are already, well, FRIENDS who are connected by their cohesion, so now it's a matter of utilizing what they already have and what they know rather than discovering it for the first time (as they did in the pilot for the first season).
It could range from anything to rediscovering the physical properties of the elements that had since been lost due to their dormancy...
Or, if the elements are only a once-in-a-millennium deal (when the time would be most dire), then the last bearers of the elements must use their willpower and exercise their abilities and trust in each other to the fullest in order to regenerate them. Someone elsewhere theorized that Discord has the power to disrupt (or corrupt) the elements and their bearers, as well, so that's a consideration.
Even if nothing is definite, speculation is fun.
I cannot even form sentences at this point. I'm just the Scootaloo well is then the of best time pony 2 happy for yay wait season love happy happy.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to do... I live in Japan so I can't see them premiere on air... hopefully some kind soul will either torrent them or upload them to youtube so I can watch them.
ReplyDeleteLe gasp!
ReplyDeleteThat's why Celestia looked so intense, maybe opening some kind of Elements of Harmony vault.......
ReplyDeleteIf you'll excuse me I have to go to my room now, lock the door and start jumping up and down while laughing insanely.
HAHAHAHAHA @ Discord being fleshed out in canon as the malevolent entity that corrupted Luna.
ReplyDeleteI mean that would pretty much shred the premise of what, 20% of the fanfics?
I don't really know what to say but I have to comment and say I can't wait to see it. If it's better than season one it will be mind blowing.
ReplyDelete1. I'm guessing that it's gonna be some sort of tainted pony ala 'past sins'.
ReplyDelete2. How the hell did they lose the Elements? I know that they've not been mentioned since the first two parter, but even if Celestia took them, they ARE the Elements, at least in part.
3. This feels like it could end up being really bad or really badass. If it ends up just being a rehash of the first two episodes, I'm not gonna be happy, but if it twists the story so that they just can't find the elements or that Celestia and Luna are also fighting alongside them, I'm gonna look forward to it.
4. PONIES! FUCK YEAH!
Discord may be the possible returning villain that's been rumored. By returning I mean kinda like how NMM was unheard of till now. Then again NMM might come back again herself... OR Discord may be NMM's physical self?
ReplyDelete>BRAIN OVERLOAD.
Why would the mane6 need to find their elements again though cause we already learned that there doesn't need to be a physical element since they're "inside" their being.
Hope this might be a 2-3 episode arch with kick-flank adventure stuff unlike the pilot was.
So, how long until I get some NMM x Discord pictures?
ReplyDeleteYou know what I'm hoping for? Aku in pony form.
ReplyDeleteYou know it would be epic.
YES YES YES YES YES! I'm so happy I could... well... Do somthing really exciting!
ReplyDelete34k more page views till 30m with this out now i'd give it about 30 min.
ReplyDeleteYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
ReplyDeleteMY BODY IS READY¡¡¡¡¡
Best birthday present ever!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they're bringing back the elements of harmony. It sucked that they were only present in the pilot and then just totally vanished for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteI knew it! I knew sis was opening 'The Door That Shall Never Be Opened'!
ReplyDeleteI knew all of Equestria was in peril!
I knew those cookies would turn out bad!
@Bpendragon
ReplyDeleteIf I was a betting man, I'd place my money on your synopsis! While this plot form has been used, and used, and used again in other stories/shows, I'm hoping that the creators have managed to infuse their magical saccharine animation and storytelling to create an awesome 20% cooler FIM-esq retelling.
In the words of Rainbow Dash: OMGOMGOMG!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the general consensus that it looks like a two-parter. This could be neat, as we'd get an adventure story without having to take time to introduce the cast, I just hope they make it different enough from "Mare in the Moon" that it feels original. As for the elements, I seriously questioned this at first, "Don't they already have them?", but then again, magic probably isn't as user friendly as human weapons (it's not like they got a manual last time), so there's the potential for a lot of buildup before we see another pony get crushed by a rainbow tornado of harmony.
I WANT GILDA/DISCORD SHIPPING FIC NAO
ReplyDelete@Gummy
ReplyDeleteThe easy answer = the one I can come up with.
Seems like the easy plot line. Especially if it goes to a "find the macguffin" style, but I think if it's a two-parter it'll be something more concise.
@CupcakesNom Find the Elements of Harmony?
ReplyDelete*transforms into an alligator* FIND THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY-*shot*
Big lipped alligator moment!
/Sonic/NostalgiaCriticjokeover
Also, this effectively nips the fanfic I just started writing in the bud.
ReplyDeleteKnew I shouldn't have bothered starting till after the second season.
Hah...Apparently Alicorns have a thing for being complete Badasses in their Super Saiyan form.
ReplyDeleteAllcaps could not express myexcitement, so here's epic RPG music instead:
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/n_989m5hwbc
Awesome... just AWESOME
ReplyDeleteFor the 'Who is Discord', I'm guessing they're going Sailor Moon on this.
ReplyDeleteBodiless evil goes around, possessing ponies full of hate *cough luna cough* and tries to create as much chaos as possible in the universe. It's up to our heroes to save the world with the powers of love and friendship.
yay
"It is now CONFIRMED as a two-parter, but that is still unconfirmed."
ReplyDeleteMake up your mind seth
I just blew up......twice
ReplyDeleteOn inmensely less important news, the traffic outburst caused by this will make the site reach 30 mill. within the next 3 hours.
ReplyDeleteThe comic artist will have to hurry
I don't know about you, but I think My Little Pony just became more brony appealing, I mean dayum that is beast!
ReplyDelete1. what YouTube Chanel will this be on first?
ReplyDelete2. how soon after air date will it be up?
3. will it be streamed live on air date?
Discord, Datcord, who knows! Is going to be awesome. I wonder if Scootaloo will get her tricks mark and Sweety her singing mark this season! Stone prison, how strange. I hope to be watching this on youtube on a computer near YOU, if you know what I mean. I AM EXITED.
ReplyDeleteHey, Seth, you should link this comment instead for context: http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1453017/2158058831
ReplyDeleteGODDAMMIT MY F5 KEY IS STARTING TO CRACK.
ReplyDeleteDiscord looks badass and dangerous. I SENSE AN EPIC BATTLE COMING FORTH, WITH VIOLENCE INSTEAD OF RAINBOWS.
ReplyDeleteThis show needs more violence. And maybe more subtle adult humor. Maybe up the rating to TVPG-V, to satiate the deep-down desire we ALL have to see ponies beating the snot out of eachother. Anyone who wants to see Rainbow Dash falcon punch Discord, say aye.
My first initial reaction was to not get worked up. But that was probably 15 minutes ago - I seriously cannot wipe the grin off my face and I cannot stop speculating about how AWESOME this show could possibly be.
ReplyDeleteI'm at least satisfied this will be a 2-parter. They can write a lot more plot and action in 44 minutes than they can 22. I'm hoping for 2 things - 1) That if they're going to make this over-arching, they give Discord a lot of characterization and and an interesting personality, or 2) That if they're going to have slice-of-life episodes, they keep them as fresh and interesting as they were in Season 1.
I cannot stop nodding my head and smiling at a lot of these speculations. I love the idea of Discord being the ultimate evil that had corrupted Princess Luna and made her into Nightmare Moon. The sheer concept of "Multiple Elements of Harmony" versus the "Sole Element of Discord" just makes me SQUEE thinking about. It's such an awesome concept, and I really hope these writers pulled off the character well. I assume they have, because they're great like that.
All I'm gonna say now is that we better see some kick-flank action, and I will be one of the many bronies flocking to the synchtubes watching the episodes with others. Just the idea of all this had made my night, and I will go to my first day or school tomorrow with a wicked grin on my face.
@NoOne
ReplyDeleteAsked the same question on Ponychan, and some fellow gave me this:
You could rewatch the episode immediately on JustinTv (assuming someone streamed. Episodes were streamed very consistently during season 1)
Low-quality rip to YouTube within the hour.
High quality rip within a few days.
out of curiousity. If any fans of the older My Little Ponies series that have been out if Discord is a returning character or completely new character?
ReplyDelete@DPV111
ReplyDeleteI will see your RPG boss music and raise you Final Kefka:
http://youtu.be/2jVcn6I452I
OH SWEET JESUS YES
ReplyDeleteWhat I am REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping for is a villain song! Villain songs are the best!
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome, although part of me hopes this episode doesn't end up jossing the story I've been doing here for the past few months. That would drive my OCD crazy.
ReplyDeleteErm, don't you know the person who worked on the show and posted in the comments of the last post did confirm this was a 2 parter.
ReplyDeleteMy body is ready.
ReplyDeleteI am now angry.
ReplyDeleteI've been putting off working on my fanfic for over an hour now. I'm too excited to write. I need to get this thing done too, dang it! There are other stories I want to write also, and I want to get those done before season two comes around and opens up a ton of new stuff for us writers to work with.
Sigh. CURSE YOU, WONDERFULLY AWESOME NEWS!!!
I hope discord is only in the first two parter, and not in many episodes throughout the series. i like the slice of life style, not to say i wouldnt mind a few two partes throughout the season, just not with the same recuring villian. I'm a little nervous cause this discord guy seems like the kind of character you could easily mess up writing for and end up making an awful character.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious. What was a big part of me liking the first two episodes was being introduced to the ponies for the first time. If it's similar to the first episode without the introductions I can only hope that the extra 30 minutes from the unnecessary introductions can make the plot less "straight to DVD old school cheesy movie" and a little more awesome (*do not insert 20% cooler joke here*)
ReplyDeleteEven if they go that way though, I'm sure it'll be just as entertaining and the cheesiness will make it funnier.
Although I'm pretty sure at this point, ponies have become so insurmountably popular and proven to be awesome that to most of us, it'll be like call of duty. We could find out it's bad or they could tell us what complete garbage it is and we could all agree, but more than half of us would watch it anyway.
I am NOT saying the first episode will be bad, just saying that most of us would probably watch anyway even if it was.
So this explains why in the comercial Celestia had the game face when opening the door in the Castle of the Two Sisters with the 4 of 6 mane cast in the back ground! Does that mean the other 2 are with Luna. My heart rate and adrenilian just kicked into overdrive. I haven't been this exicited since the NHL playoffs!
ReplyDeleteMy body is ready! But I must make it readier, because the awesome just went about 5000 miles off THE MOTHERFUCKING SCALE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"It is now CONFIRMED as a two-parter, but that is still unconfirmed."
ReplyDeleteWell make up your mind will you?
Discord pony is best pony.
ReplyDeletecant wait.
ReplyDeleteplease ignore the grown man behind the curtain squeeing like a little girl.
Yes.
ReplyDeleteWas a second post necessary for this.
ReplyDeleteBTW perfect 5.0 out of 91 votes?
Is that a thing?
@drem
ReplyDeleteKind of how I play Fallout 3, then?

Its just confusing why are they relooking for the elements? Aren't THEY the elements? Maybe they need the stone thingies to have full element powers, and the elements just vanished after the second show of season one..... :/
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry if somepony already talke about that, I just saw 138 comments and was "yeaaaaaah, read what was posted and post comment...... ^^''''''''' "
I would say God is upon us but for religious differences I will say Celestia and Luna are upon us once again. Not that they ever left us.
ReplyDelete@Vinyl Scratch I second this statement...
ReplyDeleteINJECT IT DIRECTLY IN MY VEINS
ReplyDeleteThe question is, is Discord a "true" pony or a presence like NMM?
ReplyDeletei can't wait.
ReplyDeleteLuna better be a part of this some how!
Calling it now.
ReplyDeleteDiscord is the King.
Or maybe not, but it would be interesting wouldn't it?
Also, his prison is probably in the Everfree after he was banished and thrown in a dungeon in the place he was banished to. His chaotic power leaking out being the reason that the Everfree is so Ever "free".
@MrPoniator
ReplyDeleteYou kiddin? Not a EZTV user, huh?
90 minutes after airing. 2 hours at the most. Bit longer for the 720p version, but that's really not necessary for a show like this.
10k views in 10 min! were going to get 30 million in the hour! Break out the good stuff gentlemen! This will be a night to remember!
ReplyDelete"It is now CONFIRMED as a two-parter, but that is still unconfirmed."
ReplyDeleteumm?
All we need for Discord to be awesome is for him to have a COMPLETELY screwed-up mind. Murderous. Insane. Think the Joker from, uhh, The Dark Knight. As in, he is the very definition of evil. He'll do HORRIBLE things to the citizens if they don't meet his demands...such as locking them inside a cell and BURNING THEM ALIVE, SLOWLY, AND THEY CAN'T GET OUT. Or maybe he'll do something similar to the two cruiser ships with bombs, one full of citizens, the other full of prisoners, and they are each given the detonator for the OTHER boat. If they don't press it by uhh midnight, he blows them both up and kills them all.
ReplyDelete...Actually that's a little TOO scary. ._. Oh well, I'm sure the team will think of somethin'.
@RaptorJetpack I feel the same way I just don't see MLP having some sort of boss/villain character that they always have to fight or vanquish from a town
ReplyDeleteMaybe the ponies them selfs have changed and no longer represent the elements or ponies can only use them once, hence they have to find new ponies, (the CMC maybe?)
ReplyDeleteWHOOOOOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI do kind of wonder how they'll try to differentiate it from the first two episodes of the first season though.... either way, I can't wait!
OhmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmyGOSH!
ReplyDeleteI think I just legitimately squealed for joy. ...Ponies, what have you done to me?
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS AWESOME I WILL HAVE A BRITHDAY THAT IS 20% COOLER YA!
ReplyDeleteI hope this is just a two parter, as an over-arching action plot would severly undercut what this show is about (peace, love and friendship), and why we love it. I think the slice of life style lets us get to know a lot more about the characters.
ReplyDeleteTo everypony asking "Who is Discord?" pretty sure it is a reference to the 'evil' that overtook Luna in Season one.
ReplyDelete@mycutiemarkisagun
ReplyDeleteI didn't watch the show when season 1 was still airing, so I didn't know any better myself, and haven't really looked that much into how fast shows get ripped since I'm often watching new eps a week later.
Cannot wait for this any longer!
ReplyDeleteYES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!
ReplyDeleteI hyperventilated, causing my little brother is give me very strange looks and ask me what the problem was, he thought I was having a medical emergency.
ReplyDeleteI told him the first episode of the 2nd MLP: FiM season has been confirmed as a two parter for a possible release of September (I WAS BORN THEN!) And I assured him it was a true medical emergency, and I needed a pony IV stat...
Oh I hope they don't do this or do that or they changed it now it sucks BLAH BLAH BLAH COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY ANGST CONSIDERING THE MLP STAFF FREAKIN COSPLAYS AND ARE AS NUTS FOR THIS SHOW AS WE ARE.
ReplyDeleteFucking chill, people. THEY GOT THIS.
OhmigoshOhmigoshOmigoshOmigosh! This is gonna be badass! :D
ReplyDeleteARRRGG! I knew I shouldn't have checked ED, now I can't focus on anything except ponies!!

ReplyDelete@GaruuSpike That would be pretty FUCKING AWESOME... if this wasn't a kids show =<
ReplyDeleteHoly frack, this made my week.
ReplyDeletehi hi
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer not to have a repeat of the pilot. Still, whatever the story is, if its about friendship and magic, I'm sure it will be enjoyable.
holy poop

ReplyDeleteHey, Joker was plenty sociopathic in TAS and that was a kids' show.
Also, HERE'S TO 30 MIL BEFORE BEDTIME!
ReplyDeleteNow I feel odd about creating a Harmony/Discord sister/brother ponies back in March...
ReplyDeleteAt least I still have you, Peanut Butter.

ReplyDeleteCould be a loaded ending to start off Season 2. So maybe he might be popping his head up once and again.
My first thought was that it's going to be a rehash of the pilot. But I don't think it will. I think they'll surprise us.
ReplyDeleteThis whole fandom exists because of the creators surprising us.
Since can nor begin to comprehend my level of excitement.
ReplyDeleteWatch them do like they did last year and air the first part, then make us wait two weeks for part two.
ReplyDeleteJust watch.

ReplyDeleteYea, it'd be nice to have an actual glimpse of evil actions instead of EVIL LAUGH BLACK OUTFIT FEAR ME. Maybe Discord can shove somepony on the ground and *not* apologize for it. Yikes! Grimdark!
also: MARK HAMILL VOICING
HUZZAH!
ReplyDelete*Balrog's theme suddenly starts*
I would actually love to see the whole Luna becoming NMM through Discord be part of a pretty cool and non-cheesy message about corruption and loss of one's identity.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if want...
ReplyDeleteSimply introducing a random villain? I hope this isn't all about it.
I also hope who- or whatever this Discord may be will not turn the plot of the show into the same "good vs. evil" bullsh!t that many other kids shows use.
The best episodes so far did not involve any bad guys.
Still, I'm prepared to be surprised, because MLP:FiM isn't about the plot, but about the characters, their interactions and the vast multitude of facial expressions.
My friend (Buck Shot) and I actually submitted this idea to Lauren over a chat we had!
ReplyDelete@U.H. what is "acceptable" in a kids show has really changed significantly over the last 20 years.
ReplyDelete*SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

ReplyDeleteIn canon, they are the BEST REPRESENTATION of the Elements at least, the show does not explicitly state that the Elements of Harmony (those orbs that were shattered into pieces, and then reformed into badass amulets), are embedded into each pony.
This can mean many things:
1. The Mane 6, while being the first choice by Celestia for saving Equestria via utilising the Elements of Harmony, are not the ONLY choice for saving the kingdom through the Elements. Another group of ponies who display the same friendship among each other, as well as the Elements, can too use the Elements. However, they may not represent the Elements as strongly as the Mane 6 in order to wield them at full power.
2. The Mane 6 were actually destined to only use the Elements ONCE, and they were all found together in one place to see to it that the entire group use them simultaneously. And after that, the amulets each disappeared from each pony. This time, they have to find the physical Elements in order to use them again, and they each could be anywhere in Equestria.
3. The amulets are the physical Elements, and were kept safe in Canterlot in Celestia's royal vault. Discord, or some equally dangerous villain, breached the defenses and stole the amulets, either to prevent the Mane 6 from ending the evil plans in a single blast of rainbow goodness, or to use the Elements for their own devious purposes (like a BIG FUCKING GUN to blow up the Moon with, destroying the tidal system and weather system, and to piss off Luna [those monsters, they wanna make Luna cry!]).
Discord escapes his stone prison... I'm blaming Snips and Snails on this one.
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note opening with a two-parts could lead to either the elements not being strong enough, Discord gathering them first, or hostage taking of one or both Princesses. If anything that they are starting off similar to season one is a good sign. Throw in some D&D creatures and one Pinkie Pie song and we will be good to go for another awesome season.
Discord messes the Elements of Harmony to forget who they are (Discord/Harmony Eh?). It doesn't really change Twilight's mental state because her power was magic, so she runs around Ponyville and finds the rest of the Mane Six behaving like the opposite of their elements. She and Spike convince them to... be themselves again, then everyone confronts Discord and they sit together politely and resolve their conflict through reasoned discussion.
ReplyDeleteSpeculation!
