Or snooty Flutterpony queen.

Celaeno was a Greek harpy, but Captain Celaeno just looks like a straight-up bird person to me.

Also, quite the chest. :fluttershock:

Feather boobs aside, I kinda agree. Harpies are usually notable for having wings aren't they? And human-like faces, I thought. I'm not seeing much of that with the Captain.

Hard to find forum-appropriate pictures of harpies for illustration.

*wakes up from eternal slumber*
:notthisshitagain:

What? New movie information released!?
:starity:

I guess if you wanted to know what a harpy looks like you could always go to the Warcraft version of one. I mean they have a pretty low age restriction, I think that should be appropriate for the site. Most other pictures of harpies appear to either be nakie or in bikinis. I guess with out arms getting dressed would be rather hard.

She starts out nice, but then turns out to be an ax crazy blood knight :gotcha:

But yeah, I actually like these new character designs. These are a lot of new characters being introduced, though.

You know Capper is a cool cat that is hip with the kids because he wears a red leather jacket with it's collar popped.
:allears:

He is also voiced by a black guy which is guaranteed to increase his coolness by at least 20%

Things I know Taye Diggs from:
- A great one-season show called Daybreak, which is kind of like Groundhog Day with cops.
- The so-bad-it's-good Equilibrium, where he's supposed to be part of the emotion-purged elite, but he just can't stop grinning.

Kristin Chenoweth was on Glee and BoJack Horseman, and she's been in a bunch of recent remakes of older movies. Also Broadway.

Taye Diggs is known for Broadway acting and various TV roles.

Zoe Saldana was Neytiri in Avatar, the green alien girl in Guardians of the Galaxy, and Uhura in the new Star Trek movies.

Liev Schreiber was Sabertooth in X-Men Origins and was in Spotlight last year.

Uzo Aduba was in Orange Is the New Black, and she's been on Broadway also. And she's Bismuth in Steven Universe.

Emily Blunt was in The Devil Wears Prada and various recent action movies.

It's especially surprising given that the two you know are probably the less famous of the group! Emily Blunt and Zoe Saldana in particular are pretty big deals in recent years.

That's a comic-relief minion if ever I saw one.

As for Sia, I guess she was actually the first character we saw.

I'm 50/50 on whether the character revealed when Sia was announced is actually her character since that character was just Sia herself as a pony.

Of course they just made Weird Al's character Weird Al.... but a pony so that could still be the end product.

Michael Peña was in The Martian and a lot of cop drama TV shows. He is also starring in the new MLP movie "Horse Soldiers" and the LEGO NINJAGO movie.

Odd sports bra. Logos are kind of out of place for this universe, so maybe it's a magical sigil?

I've predicted a couple of times that G5's ponies would be at least somewhat more anthro so that Hasbro could make both toys and dolls of them without having to split the brand like they've done between FiM and EqG. If Disney truly has brought about a new era of animated animal-people with Zootopia, then following that trend would be just gravy for Hasbro.

As of right now this should be taken with the biggest grain of salt.

But if this more or less comes to pass I have a better name for the movie.

Twilight's Kingdom: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Yeah...this is going to have Celestia and Luna worfed again isn't it? :seethe:

All is forgiven if they go the comics route and give them some awesome off screen moment to explain their absence. Like the reason they can't participate is if they get sucked into an alternate dimension and movie ends with Optimus Prime opening a portal to let them back into Equestria after saving Cybertron.

But the synopsis says absolutely nothing about Celestia and Luna. Hell, if it is as DerFurShur predicts, then that at least means they'll have a bigger presence than they did in To Where and Back Again.

Lol you really think there's any room for any more characters in this movie. Between Spike, the Mane 6, and the 7 celebrity guest characters (Sia's pop star character will probably only be showing up at the end to sing a pop victory song), do we really have time to dedicate to two more characters.

This is a standalone movie, so it honestly needs to be divorced from the show as much as possible. It's why I'm okay with the villain being some random asshole that lives somewhere else that the Mane 6 have to go to instead of the supposed Celestia and Luna's secret evil brother angle everybody else apparently wants. Having half the cast be a bunch of one shot randos doing stuff outside of Equestria is better for the show and movie in the long run. So it doesn't need a bunch of show characters trying to cram in either.

Honestly I'd rather Celestia and Luna not be in it at all but Nicole Oliver has already tweeted she's in the movie, so hopefully it's just a scene and that's it.

But I definitely don't expect them to play any sort of important role.

What I'm saying is that, while I don't expect them to have a big role, I also think that they'll have more of a presence than just getting offhandedly mentioned as having been taken down by the villain.

Oh I expect to see them get beaten. Which yeah is a step above To Where and Back Again. They'll probably even put up a fight, so that's A Canterlot Wedding levels of buried.

Well. It is Megan writing it. So yeah, Celestia and Luna are going to get their magic zapped by Tirek 2.0. Heck, I expect the other five, bedsides Twilight, to have a minimal role in the movie.

:-I OK girls. I'm going to go on the important mission. You five stay. Here and plan a party with the Captain.

And I agree with DerFurShur. The would rather they just weren't in it at all. I don't want to see another story where their function is just to be props to build cheap tension.

In all seriousness I suspect Celestia and Luna get to play mission giver here...which makes a degree of sense. Magic mysteriously is drained from Equestria or something, Twilight and her friends pretty much are the assigned and tested Defenders of the Realm at this point, have them go on the Epic Quest while the other Princesses try to maintain order at home.

That'd be nice, but that's not how it usually works. Celestia and Luna don't play world leaders sending out Delta Force while maintaining peace on the homefront.

They're the kidnapped presidents that need to be saved by some bad dudes.

I will say this, though: This sounds like an iteration on the old spoilers from the Sony leak, and I like the general vibe of the conflict more than the earlier idea.

This is what I'm expecting. Celestia and Luna are too important to leave out of the movie completely, but they're not FiM's stars either.

You can go back in the thread but to save on time

This was the character that was revealed when Sia was announced to be in the movie. Now it's pretty much just Sia as a pony so this could be what her character looks lIke.
