Confound these ponies, why won't they just make up their mind? A few days ago an article in the Wallstreet Journal seemed to imply that Cadance and Shining Armor were scheduled for a fall release. It looks like they are actually coming out in the Spring according to the MLP Facebook page. I guess this means these two actually are our season finale? I guess only time will tell!

Confound these ponies, they drive me to utter annoyance!
ReplyDeleteI called you out on it Seth lol :P
ReplyDelete"Save the Date" Really makes me hope the book from H&H was foreshadowing to this season finale.
ReplyDeleteCant wait for this either way!
ReplyDeleteSo which one is it? Season finale would make plenty of sense. Then again, I'm not the one in charge of the show.
ReplyDeleteFIRST
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to see them in action
ReplyDeleteConfound those alicorns.
ReplyDeleteOh, and inbe4alicornhating.
kNKHFkjhefkjahefhK!
ReplyDeleteCAN'T EFFIN WAIT.
So they're just going to magically start being important in the show?
ReplyDeleteLove the new Alicorn!
ReplyDeleteIt makes much more sense that she's in the finale. Look up the music theory definition of "cadence."
ReplyDeleteWell, from the European toy show article, we know that the Cadence set is due out in August (which is probably about the time that the new DJ Pon-3, Zecora, Lyra, etc. toys will come out as well). I suspect that the press release was referring specifically to the toys, while the season finale that introduce those two will be in its usual May slot.
ReplyDelete[Zooms in on cutie marks]
ReplyDeleteA shield and an ornate heart? Dull.
Is it bad if I don't care much for these characters? Call me close-minded, but I'm fine with the amount of alicorns we have already.
ReplyDeleteDarn Hasbro shipping their OC's!
ReplyDeletelol, jk.
Dear god Shining Armor's cutie mark is kinda like Firewall's in Through the Eyes of Another Pony!
ReplyDeletekNKHFkjhefkjahefhK!
ReplyDeleteCAN'T EFFIN WAIT.
Other alicorns besides the Princesses are already canon, methinks. They were shown as an illustration in Twilight's book in the H&H episode; the princess in the book's historical tale was an alicorn.
ReplyDeleteI think what they meant is that they're getting married in the fall. As in, in the show it'll be fall when they're getting married.
ReplyDeleteThat or the playset is coming out in the fall but we're getting the Season Finale much earlier.
@Mike
ReplyDeleteBut who knows; maybe the parallel drawn here will blow someone's mind.
My favorite Facebook comment:
ReplyDelete"What the fudge? Why would they add a new alicorn?! Alicorns are special, mystical. They are the rulers of the world. You can't just introduce a new alicorn and be like 'oh yeah, we forgot to tell you about this one. She's pink.'"
I couldn't agree more.
Maybe are the toys already out? cause i would imagine hasbro would want them not to be seen on the show tell the toys are out seeing as it's geared for kids to buy.
ReplyDeleteSo... the Alicorn of... love? Happiness? Peace?
ReplyDelete'Save the Date' implies many things, my guess is that Cadance/Cadence will need rescuing, and Shining Armor will either take the spotlight, or be a case of 'Only one able to save her, but too cowardly/weak to do so' that will need encouragement from the Mane 6.
Must remain optimist... I have faith the writers will come up with something decent, no matter where the idea came from (likely not from them).
Oh she's got balljoint wings that is something I've not seen before.
ReplyDeleteLet's see here, we had a possible reference to them in H&H and now talk of time travel in an upcoming episode. Hmmm the stage is being set for epic history altering Mane 6 adventures. I hope so anyways. At least something along those lines.
ReplyDeleteI don't care when they come out really.
ReplyDeleteI'll just watch the show when new episodes are available, that's enough for me.
I always cry at weddings. They're like a slightly less depressing funeral, and the catering tends to be better. Plus dancing with granny isn't frowned upon at a wedding, unlike - um, I think I have a book to read.
ReplyDeleteHer cutie mark is a heart
ReplyDeleteMy theory that she's like the goddess of love is becoming slightly less farfetched
All I wanted.to know was what Cadance's cutie mark was. Curiosity satisfied.
ReplyDeleteNot even gonna speculate about these two. I'll just watch the show and trust the animation team to deliver da magics like they do every week. I'm not gonna form any opinion before hand.
ReplyDeleteThe season finale will be about Cadance's wedding, which will air in the spring.
ReplyDeleteThe toys will debut in the fall.
The debut of the toys does not have to be in sync with the debut of the characters on the show. The ep is going to air nonstop in repeats anyway.
His cutie mark isn't just a shield... It's Twilight's "element of magic" star on a shield. Might just be a coincidence... Might not.
ReplyDeleteNo idea what to make of her Royal Crest/heart cutie mark.
@autobotgodzilla Totally agree. There's no use arguing about something we haven't seen. Just watch the show and form your opinion, POLITELY, after the episode.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be nice if Shining Armor's mane and (especially) tail could look a little less like a small child tried to style it and ended up pulling half of it out.
ReplyDeleteFinally we get to see her cutie mark ! Yay !
ReplyDeleteIt's cute and mysterious at the same time... What her special talent might be ? An heart can mean so much things...
My guess? the two meet and fall in love at the end of season 2, (episode 26) which is technically a stand alone story. Then, the season 3 two part premeire in the fall focuses on them getting married.
ReplyDeleteBut, maybe they are made in such way that you could look at it as a three parter if you wanted to. In that case, their may be some waffling at hasbro as to whether episodes are spread out OR if they want to air all three as one big "event."
A far fetched guess I know, but it sort of make sense with all the different, mildly contradictory stuff we've heard.
DEATH TO THE FALSE GODDESS, BLESSINGS AND PRAISE BE UPON CELESTIA
ReplyDeleteHopefully we'll find out where Alicorns come from, if they are special, unique ones that only show up rarely, or if they are a race of immortal pony elves (ala Lord of the Rings).
ReplyDeleteThe crew has shown they can make obligatory Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's day episodes awesome so I'm sure they'll find a way to make this awesome.
In all the rage about a new alicorn, did anyone ever consider that the team might make her an interesting character?
ReplyDeleteI mean, look at what our expectations were for what Discord & Luna would be like. Completely shattered.
@Christian
ReplyDelete....How?
@Railgun
ReplyDeleteThat's what I've been trying to say. People are doomsaying and whining that the episode(s) are/is going to be horrible because the characters are "forced"/"shoehorned"/"Hasbro OC's" or whatever.
Really, these are the SAME PEOPLE that brought us the rest of the show. Why would they suddenly do something shitty because of two more characters being added?
Seriously, it's like these people are just looking for something to whine about.
Is this the two derps who were in the story from Hearts and Hooves?
ReplyDeleteWe'll just have to trust that the writing team does an amazing job with these two. They haven't failed us so far... maybe it'll be something epic!
ReplyDeleteIDEA
ReplyDeleteGoing off of my earlier statement I want Cadence to be the love goddess who is unlucky in love herself hence why the wedding will be a huge deal for her
HAHAH! I AM NOW FAMOUS! I SUBMITTED THIS!!!
ReplyDelete*faints from confusion*
For people complaining about her because she's a corporate insert, here's something REALLY important to remember:
ReplyDeleteSO WAS CHEERILEE.
Hasbro wanted the team to include this pony in the show, so LF made her a teacher. A season later, she gets an awesome episode like 'Hearts and Hooves Day'.
So just because Hasbro wants to add a character, it doesn't mean the character will be bad.
If this marriage is the season finale, then consider me extremely excited!
ReplyDeleteWhether they make their appearance season two or season three and are put into the show itself, I highly doubt they will become an important continual part of the show. Likely, they will have a short story arc revolving around their wedding or such, then we'll never see them again. Think along the same lines of Luna. Poor Luna. lol
ReplyDeleteI am wary as [buy some apples], but on the other hoof, maybe we'll find out some interesting lore about alicorns with this Cadence.
ReplyDeleteBut it still doesn't give free reign to people to make alicorn OCs. Nope. Only Studio B gets to.
Todays episode mentioned a story of a kingdom falling apart due to a Love Poison between a prince and princess and the raise of chaos.
ReplyDeleteWe have a certain character already known to be a spirit of chaos that was probably the cause.
In 4 weeks we shall see an episode where Twilight warns her past self of an event. Showing that time travel is possible.
I'm just saying... some of these strange events might actually be tied together...
Also, don't forget, Cadance being pink was probably one of the major contributing factors for getting our White Celestia toy.
ReplyDeleteBoth the Mane Six and the CMC are, so to speak, powers of three.
ReplyDeleteCadence might be seen as an attempt to create a similar "alicorn trio" with dedicated episodes.
In other words, Cadence = more Luna, hopefully.
@Killsteal_Wolf I like this. However, I think the prince in the book was an earth pony. Shining Armor is an unicorn.
ReplyDeleteThis totally fucks up my Fanfiction. Oh well. Discord killed all the alicorns in it. Guess he has some work to do. XD
ReplyDeleteGah, are they having scheduling drama already? Fricking celebrity weddings.
ReplyDeletePeople need to realize that Hasbro has been influencing the show from the very start. How can they not? They own it!
ReplyDeletePeople also like to claim that Faust only wanted two winged unicorns. As if Faust is unable to change her mind in order to make the show grow.
(If she really was against the idea of more than two winged unicorns in the first place.)
Also, for a group of people that likes to take pride in enjoying a show for girls, some really freak out over the color pink.
Anyways, Cadance is adorable and i can't wait to both buy her toys and see her appear in the show.
Let me put it this way: one of my favorite episodes is about a pony making dresses for her friends.
ReplyDeleteFrom the description, you might assume this episode is dull. And you would be wrong.
I'll reserve judgement until I actually see them.
Oy vey this is confusing...
ReplyDeleteprobably will be the last episode of the season.
ReplyDeleteShining Armor looks pretty great now that we've seen him up close, can't wait for the inevitable Big Macintosh tweak.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing when WSJ said "autumn wedding", they meant in-universe autumn. Or they were just wrong.
ReplyDeleteSo many news and rumors about these two lately. I'm too tired to speculate... Let the creators of the show do whatever they want, I don't even care at this point...
ReplyDeleteAs for the Autumn Wedding, it's entirely possible that we could be facing the first cliff-hanger season finale of the show. Cadence's wedding could be the focus of both this spring and fall.
ReplyDelete@Harwick Shining Armor: We're getting married!
ReplyDelete*ponies* Yay!
Princess Cadence: And then we're TAKING OVER EQUESTRIA!!! MUWAH HA HA HA HA!!! >:D
*ponies* D:
Season finale, or Season Three pilot? Time will definitely tell.
ReplyDeleteAh yea another royal wedding in April, cannot wait for Cadence's appearance and the I think there 'might' be some connection to the wedding and the Hearts and Hooves Day's origin story
ReplyDeleteThis is probably just me picking random things to support my preferred theory, but here goes:
ReplyDeleteWe know from Hearts and Hooves Day that there was an "alicorn" princess in the past, who fell in love.
We know from It's About Time that some form of time travel is possible in Equestria.
Please oh please oh please be a time travel episode, Season Finale!

ReplyDeleteI've been speculating the same thing.
Then my friend told me to stop speculating because I'm usually wrong and it makes canon seem jarring when it's revealed.
Time will tell!
@Nostalgia Schmaltz
ReplyDeleteMaybe all they need is some cheese to go with their whine.
Anyway, I've always liked how Princess Cadence and Shining Armor have looked, and I look forward to them being solid characters.
or.. it could mean the 3rd season starts in spring?
ReplyDeletewhile a lot of the fan fiction has declared the princess as gods, the show has not gone so far. they even said that their power to raise the sun and moon is not unique to them. (hearths warming says normal unicorns can do it) the only unique powers they have shown so far is extra strength unicorn magic (lesson zero) and very long lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat if it's a *gasp* **queue drama music**
ReplyDelete"To be continued in season 3"
??
!!
I reckon the Hearts & Hooves book that twilight had is foreshadowing these episode.
ReplyDeleteTHe two in the picture looked similar to these two.
