She's the 'goddess' of love, and the crystal kindom is powered by the stuff, so it makes sense to me.<br /><br />Also, I think it would behoove them to make the alicorn twilight thing temporary and/or only a part time thing. Having twilight always walking around the show as an alicorn would be like the hugest elephant in the room ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992548050560514484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-77831598344805786132012-03-27T16:12:31.554-06:002012-03-27T16:12:31.554-06:00Cadence is Nightmare Moon working with Discord (be...Cadence is Nightmare Moon working with Discord (because de Lancie is back) to get revenge on the Mane 6ArceusThePonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784900699523900547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-82356947875554895722012-03-27T16:10:08.416-06:002012-03-27T16:10:08.416-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.ArceusThePonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784900699523900547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-30585758636875918442012-02-18T18:41:48.560-07:002012-02-18T18:41:48.560-07:00@HaysforPonies

I didn't think that question would even get answered, much less cause a shitstorm...<br /><br />I will say a couple things though, though I only scanned through the comments so far. Alicorns ARE immortal, which doesn't necessarily mean 'invincible'. That just means they live forever ... unless they're killed. Their need for guards implies that they're not invincible. Add that to the amount of power they have and the purposes they serve, and they pretty much qualify as demi-gods...<br /><br />Yes, I'm over-analyzing a cartoon about technicolor ponies meant for little girls ... but being able to immerse yourself in the FiM universe is part of what makes this show so fun.

I...@<a href="#c264784073975166600" rel="nofollow">Ki</a><br />Oh come on, you can do better than that :D<br /><br /> I should have made my thoughts more clear. I was not talking about the whole idea of pony, obviously. But about the things directly connected to FiM. After all, she is the creator and most of the ideas come from her, from her childhood when she was actually playing with those ponies.<br /><br /> I know she needed a team to gave us all those awesome episodes and I still verily enjoy the current ones.<br /> Still, the two regal sisters and Discord were HER ideas. The formers coming form bible pony, if I remember correctly, and the latter she clearly stated she wanted a villain like Q in Star Trek. So, as long as it is mythology and/or the sisters/Discord related, I heartily accept Faust's vision as canon. Once again, until it is clearly stated otherwise in the show; even if my heart would bleed for that.<br /><br /> Peoples drink her words because she was team leader for a time and she is, like it or not, the creator of the FiM universe. <br /><br />P.S And once again, I don't belittle the participation of the other scenarist. They still do an amazing job ! :DKlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16962480990694538016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-74219362424442371582012-02-13T17:33:32.441-07:002012-02-13T17:33:32.441-07:00My fanfiction is safe.....

I doubt that the original script for the wedding has been changed, only Cadence's character model. She will probably simply show up with wings and horn with no in-universe significane to them (i.e. never specifically addressed).<br />Hasbro probably figured that all princesses should be alicorns to fit the toy marketing. Plus this allows them to make Celestia's toy white, so people would stop complaining about it, and still have a pink alicorn Princess doll to sell.<br />I am still excited for the episode.SomeGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772509946546047743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-82972325457239633322012-02-13T14:01:40.199-07:002012-02-13T14:01:40.199-07:00@Masquerade

I don't recall the writers of MLP entering an agreement with the fandom in which we approve all plot elements and characters.<br /><br />It also seems unfair to make claims about Cadence before we have even seen the episode.

If you can't prove that they're deities why would you complain to a staff member about why a regular pony would marry what YOU believe is a deity? Or even ask a question like that? You really can't go around asking questions about stuff that's only part of your personal beliefs on the show :\<br /><br />(And for the record, long lives+high power does not = deity.
