Season 5 neverending Cutie Mark Crusaders.



I would not mind a CMC show spinoff.

Judging from some of the stuff that Tara has acted in with her Twilight voice, it could very well be a thing once.

So yeah. I don't always look at spoilers but this time I did and I'm still hyped. :hiiiii: Tirek was a pretty cool guy beforehand so this is good news.

If that is Kazumi singing for Luna then we have further proof that all the best ponies do their own singing.

Ponyless summer, fall, and winter. So I take it S5 is going to be enough episodes to bring it to 100 total then?

Tirac better say "behold the power of darkness" line at least once or I will be disapoint. :rainbert:

That would only be 10 more episodes. I really doubt that.

[e] No, wait, 9. Finale is E90 & E91. They wouldn't even bother with a new season that short.

[e2] Confirmed, 26 eps for S5.

I can't wait to list all the ways Tirek pales in compares to Chrysalis. I wonder if they will use G1 Tirek's design although I remember them having qualms about using centaurs in an interview before because of how human it looked...

Tirek looks like he will still be a centaur here. We saw his hands in that one clip and his cloak seemed to cover a generally pony-like body.

If only there were a giant purple unicorn mech out there.....

I know it probably won't happen, but I think instead of just Twy & The Mane six, if you had the entirety of Equestria stand up to Tirek in the final battle, that would be awesome.

Every Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Alicorn, Zebra, Changling, Griffon, Dragon, Serpent, etc all making a stand together. Twould be epic! :awesomedash:

But I know it's just a pipe dream. :v:

Well I'm sure Lyra will have something to say about it if so. :crack:

From what I've seen: It looks like he might have a bit of a monkey face to him. Hopefully he'll look closer to the G1 Tirek/Tirac (OK so which version of the name will be used from now on?)

So I made the mistake of visiting a forum I stopped reading awhile, found someone who read that spoiler filled review and said they were very pleased...but it was a person whose opinion I absolutely despised and I knew they would only be happy if it made certain characters look bad and now I'm letting fandom stuff influence me and I swore never to do that :v:

I ended up reading the review just to quiet some of my concerns and at this point I'll say I'm not going to let whether somebody thinks this or that effect me, and at the same time I'm going to try to put aside, "Oh no this makes this character look bad in a certain and enjoy the plot of the episode as well. So far the plot looks ambitious, love that they're bringing back Tirek, and perhaps the Rainbow of Light, in a new G4 fashion.

Overpowered Twilight is awesome/adorkable.

This is exactly what made original Thundercats outtakes best outtakes.

@Ransom

As a general rule, I'd recommend not taking the general fandom consensus on things. You'll be a lot happier that way. How else do you think I manage to remain such a massive King Sombra fan? :wink:

Watch the episode yourself. If you like it, you like it. If you don't, you don't. And that's all there is to it. :pinkieshrug:

This looks to be the second time Celestia will have been wrong about not using friends, with the first being Spike saving the Crystal Empire. Seems like she could stand to learn from her former student. :smirk:

She's definitely underestimating them. They may not be alicorn princesses, but I think they've been through enough in the past 4 seasons to prove they can handle the risk.

Celestia wasn't wrong there, though. The entire point of that test was to see if Twilight was willing to put the needs of others ahead of her own; when she realized that it was more important she save the Empire than pass her test, she passed her test.

Also : Not telling them is almost certainly related to 'If they know, they become targets', and not 'Don't tell them because you have to do this alone'

Celestia: Not as wise as she thinks. :gotcha:


But yeah we already know the rest of the mane-six will help Twy save the day. So You would think Tia would know better by now.

Maybe. Hopefully their help won't just boil down to "we're here to help open the chest".

Unfortunately, I think it's going to end up there, because of the pattern of the rest of the season premiers and finales after Return of Harmony. :rainbert:

Given that all six of them are getting rainbowified, I expect they'll all have a part here.

I think you guys are forgetting like a dozen hints that have been laid throughout the season. Though the Elements of Harmony are gone, their magic is still within the main six. Or did you think the rainbow flash in each key episode was added for dramatic effect?

The keys, the tree, the box--they all end with Twilight's kingdom, and with it, you have Twilight defining what being a princess means to her. :spoiler: It's her friends!

Double :spoiler: I have a feeling Celestia knows this, and that's why she trusts Twilight with so much magic.

Well, one thing I've learned from most shows is to essentially go against my gut. Because whenever I feel there's a good way something could be handled, it usually ends up not being the way that I expect. And that's how I feel about this. There are ways it'll work. But judging on the actions taken in the past, I don't think they'll bother to take that way.

I'm not really concerned at this point, because I feel I've lost all hype for this anyway. There's something else on Saturday that's become much more important to me. So the way I see it is if it's a great finale, that's awesome, and it makes me feel great for being far better than I expected. If I'm right, then I'm not even that disappointed because I figured it would happen to begin with.
