>>297292

One thing I have to wonder now, is how the fuck does the timeline work now?

Starswirl raised and taught Luna and Celestia how to rule and use magic after the exodus that led to the founding of equestria

Discord takes over and rules for an unknown amount of time before Luna and Celestia rainbow laser him using the elements of harmony and become rulers of equestria

Starswirl sacrifices himself and the other ancient heroes and creates the seed that becomes the tree of harmony

So he sacrificed himself before the rule of discord, but after the founding of equestria, except the princesses where never mentioned in any of the old tales, nor in the Shadow Pony stuff, it must have been back when discord and Tirek knew eachother, but starswirl didn't seem to recognise their names and he made a spell specifically to manipulate the elements that didn't exist in his own life time, though he is somewhat excused by not having finished it.

Logic would suggest the ancient heroes where from before the founding of equestria, except at least one of them wasn't actually that old, they still had her wooden mask around, kept in her old house by her decendants, and that place didn't look 1000+ years old. Hell, her journal was written in modern enough a language that fluttershy could read it, so not old ponish.

Except several of those ancient heroes where defitnetly not from equestria. The sorceress was fucking around with some empress, and when did Equestria have an empress? And the pegasus with the shield was serving some king if my memory serves, so again, not equestria. And there was that pharao too. So where the ancient heroes pre equestria? But then how the fuck was starswirl around AFTER the founding of equestria to guide the sisters, when he sacrificed himself along with the ancient heroes to stop Sombrero 2.0?

When the fuck was this to suppoed to take place?

Also, why did noone ask Discord if he knew anything about Sombrero 2.0 or if he had safe access to the plane of Mambo. He has regular access to other dimensions after all and he's old enough that he was probably around at the time and powerful enough that Sombrero 2.0 would have gotten him involved.

>>297292

>What does it take to make someone fall in love with a brand? What makes a series of stories you heard in your childhood memorable for you entire life, so much so that you want to share them with your children once you become an adult? Think of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter. These brands settle into the hearts and memories of their audience and remain there. Why? These brands are worlds. The possibilities within these worlds are vast, yet there is a defned logic and structure to these alternate realities, making them highly believable. Moving more inwardly, these worlds have limitless lands where limitless types of beings and characters can live in them.

Faust gets it. Now, some of her episode ideas may be crazy (Applejack giving herself concussions, gangsta dogs, Rainbow Dash letting Scootaloo shoot herself out of a canon she so would), but that tolkien-esque universe is what made the old show so engrossing. Well, that and plenty of bright colors to stimulate the malfunctioning cortices of autists everywhere.

Was the SB made before she knew it would get a TV-Y and stuff?

>>297261 (OP) Jesus, did the movie really piss off DHX employees that much? I think there is/was some delicious drama behind the scenes.

oh, thanks Anon!

>>297318

Exactly. Other letters used in the series, like the foal free press stuff, where its gibberish or regular letters and spelling so fucked up it might as well be gibberish. This was classic elder futhark.

>>297322

fdoes it has something to see with the fact these damned breezies speak some form of old gaelic?

oh er, can someone reupload the bible pdf somewhere? watchitfortheplot.romesilvanus.io seems down here…

>breezies speak some form of old gaelic

But they're Swedes.

>>297338

Thank you very much.

>>297324

Its here - >>297295

>>297337

Their language is a mix of the most unintelligible languages of Europe.

>>297353

I don't know, they didn't sound remotely like Finns or like they where from Wales.

To a scandinavian ear, I'd have to say they didn't sound remotely scandinavian either.

Not sure why you'd make your little fairy fuckers norse instead of say, Irish either.

>>297364

Have you ever seen "The Muppet Show" from back when Jim Hensen was alive? It had this bit called "The Sweedish Chef" which was kind of a play on Julia Childs' cooking show. The breezies sound like pitched-up versions of the Sweedish Chef.

>>297366

Yes, I know that. The joke is though, that he doesn't speak anything that sounds remotely like actual Swedish. Its the difference between "Durka durka durka" and someone speaking arabic.

>>297369

That's pretty much just a purplish Trixie. It rather lends credence to the idea that Trixie is a bizarro Twilight like Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, and Moon Dancer.

>>297367

Yeah, and Zecora does not sound like any kind of African. Whatever. They are not going for realistic dialects. Breezies sound like the parody of swedes.

>>297371

They intended to get someone to write Zecora's lines in Swahili, but the deadline was too close.

>>297383

Yeah I heard that story at Nightmare Nights last year. The Swahili translator didn't show up in time to record so they just had her rhyme instead.

>>297384

Weren't there like one or two lines said by Zecora in some african language when she first appeared?

>>297385

I think they said they made up gibberish.

>>297366

what he's saying is more like English with a Swedish tone garbled through it. if you pay attention, you can make out what he's saying:

"If we can't egg the chef, we're going to chicky, chicky the chef" (at 1:25)

>>297261 (OP)

>Hasbro throws DHX out the window

>hires that guy from that other thread

>>297406

If I remember correctly, there was one bit on The Muppet Show where Sam the Eagle called him on the fact that he was not actually speaking Swedish and demanded to know where he was actually from, to which the Swedish Chef responded in Japanese.

>>297406

>hires that guy from that other thread

let that go already anon, if they want him (which I doubt they will) they'll go to him and he clearly said he doesn't want autistic anon faggots going around like idiots. Its funny tho how he said the same thing Faust said. >>297299

does this mean we need to worry about season 8?

>>297440

Season 8 was already confirmed and is probably well into production. You'll never escape this wild ride.

>>297440

>>297441

that is unless the investors are so pissed some of them leave the ride.

the movie being leaked cost them a lot in terms of potential netflix, dvd and ticket sales revenue.

>>297261 (OP)

Non-spoiler question: When does the movie take place in relation to season 7? Is there any indication?

>>297265

>>297266

The only thing I got from all this is that despite the "success" of MLP, DHX is broke as a muther.

>>297542

Problem: Starswirl was Clover the Clever's mentor. He would have tutored Celestia and Luna before the unification.

>>297542

>Early Equestrian history

>>Cadance defeats Prismia and becomes an alicorn

Does Shining Armor know

>>297549

Studio B's service work would have little to do with it

>>297549

>>297510

DHX WILL GO DOWN IN FLAMES

>>297553

Studio B was acquired in 2007 becoming part of DHX.

MLP started in 2010 and despite it's "success" couldn't stop a potential sale and falling stock value. That says something considering they just did a movie with a season 8 coming along.

It's not like the MLP toys sold very well, that's why EQ happened after all. Even then, was the show ever really profitable or has it been made at a loss all these years?

>>297556

>It's not like the MLP toys sold very well, that's why EQ happened after all. Even then, was the show ever really profitable or has it been made at a loss all these years?

from an article:

>Practically every single big problem the toy industry right now faces stems from the same issue; everything had gone so well for the past decade(s), that it is impossible to conceive that the situation changed and that alterations have to be made. (Or, worse, things have to be let ago). The golden age has been so close that most toy industry insiders don't believe it has passed. But it has; children spend far less time behind a TV and more on the digital realm. (Some people think this means "normal" toys are used less and less, but that isn't true - TV is just used less) Animated TV shows are working relatively less and less. https://archive.fo/6iLjj Toy industry companies want to "adapt" to this by uploading short videos on YouTube and making small apps that one is done with in 10-15 minutes. That is what the Dutch call "a napkin against the bleeding" - it's too little. It has to be a complete interactive system, not gimmicks.

>>297551

I dont follow your logic there. I was mainly going off of the Journal of the Two Sisters that said that Starswirl only met the princesses after the founding of Equestria.

>>297571

The disconnect is in "Hearth's Warming Eve" where Clover named Starswirl as her mentor.

>>297572

In addition, the Equesrtian flag that they raised featured Celestia and Luna.

>>297556

I was saying it would be Hasbro's award, since they actually pay for and profit from MLP. Studio B/DHX Vancouver is only a production partner.

>>297573

>>297572

Yeah, I'm aware that Starswirl was a mentor to Clover, but that has nothing to do with him later acting as a tutor to the princesses. As for the flag, the one we see being raised in Hearth's Warming Eve is the modern flag of Equestria. The scene does not refer to the flag as being the original design used following the unification. The flag depicts the princesses along with the sun and the moon, which would have no meaning unless the design was created after the princesses took over the movement of the sun and moon, which didn't happen until after Equestria was founded and Celly and Luna had been made the princesses. The flag raising is most likely just the Mane 6 taking artistic liberties for the sake of the play.

>>297579

>Yeah, I'm aware that Starswirl was a mentor to Clover, but that has nothing to do with him later acting as a tutor to the princesses.

He would have had to have been younger than one would expect of a master when he began Clover's studies if that were the case. Otherwise, he would have been too old after the unification to raise two goddess children. I suppose that it is conceivable, but he would have been old as hell by the time that Celestia reached adulthood.

>>297587

Nope, just those pictures of "graduated Twilight". A lot of the info is early development stuff, like "Queen Celestia".

>>297585

There's no reason to assume that Starswirl had to be significantly older than Clover. Twilight and Starlight are about the same age but that doesnt stop them from having a teacher-student relationship. Also, it was implied that Starswirl wasn't that old when he first started looking after the princesses. Celestia and Luna were probably adults, at least in terms of age, by the time Starswirl disappeared.

>>297587

I believe Lauren said that Twilight was meant to be Celestia's successor, but she didnt say anything about making her an alicorn.

>>297590

Or princess

>>297592

I wonder if she would, seeing how she doesn't like putting current crew members under the bus

>>297593

She specifically said that she'd do it some time after the show ends. I believe it was a Brony panel where they gave her the Fausticorn picture.

>>297595

I’m still wondering if it would give people an excuse to attack

Either way I wouldn’t want to hear, knowing it likely won’t line up with the direction I

>>297600

wanted

>>297555

>>297444

DOUBLE TRIPS CONFIRM DEATH OF DHX

>>297600

I want to hear it no matter what it does to my headcanon. It would be well worth it just to have a final word on everything that we have been arguing about for years.

>>297645

For some reason I really hate the idea of Twilight becoming ruler if that truly what it means, it sounds only slightly less dumb and childish than Twilicorn

>>297648

I guess I'm just attached to the idea of Twilight getting a more humble and magic-related endgame

>>297653

That would be alright if it could give some greater purpose to the friendship lessons and adventures.

>>297295

>the full show bible

>80 pages

i was expecting more

>>297789

What surprised me was just how unpolished it was. Did it have to be finished quickly?

>>297790

It is basically a pitch

>>297789

I thought they would have been continuously updating it to keep it current on canon and make sure their lore was consistent. Even shitty sitcoms like Cheers and Seinfeld manage to do that. Do you think there's a longer version unreleased or are mlp writers just lazy? im leaning towards the latter

>>297804

Best to just follow whatever Hasbro says

>>297791

That's why it surprised me. I figured that something that was meant to sell a concept to potential investors would be at least proofread.

>>297830

It was dated 2009

>>297854

Right. So?
