:rainbert: Sunset Shimmer got screwed...


I actually kind of prefer the deleted scenes. Dougworld Sparks is helping to make Crystal Prep better while Shimmer is both homesick but is finding roots in the human realm. Plus with so many characters and T.Strong doing a lot of work all over the place it would make scheduling a bit easier.

Having Twilight transfer to Canterlot High was kind of a terrible idea. Isn't Sunset's entire character that she is a gifted parallel to pony Twilight who searches for magic, is driven to evil and then repents from it? Way to make your main character almost completely superfluous. :v:

Unless she's about to go back to Equestria.

Frankly, given they've brought in SciTwi, the only remaining question about intradimensional duplicates is where the hell Sunset's human counterpart has been this whole time.

Maybe she doesn't exist in Dougworld? Perhaps Shimmer is what has brought magic to the world. She came there and magic with her, unlocking potential in a world that didn't have it before.

And thus she can be the Magic Princess of Dougworld! :awesomedash:

That's what I've been wondering since the end of EQG2. But the Sirens have been there since basically forever, which also shows the world has been around a long time before Sunset got to it. Besides, a lot of the students don't seem to have pony-world duplicates. Maybe it's a parallel universe type thing like in that one arc in the comics where what happens in one world can directly affect the other, which is why there's so much overlap in people/personalities.

Or maybe Granny Smith was right, magic is as magic does, and it's not reallly supposed to make sense. :pinkieshrug: If it did, it wouldn't be magic.

I'm just imagining an endless cycle of princess apprenticeships, Celestia teaches Twilight, who teaches Sunset, who teaches Dougworld Twilight, who teaches DougCadence, and eventually everyone is a princess.

Actually, how about this: the eqg world has no magic, so characters whose only notable gift is magic never rise to any notoriety. The princesses are still able leaders, Twilight is still super smart, but Chrysalis and Sombra, for example, never get enough power to actually do anything, and so nobody ever hears about them. Which would mean there's some Sunset Shimmer oblivious to magic and friendship out there somewhere, and without Princess guidance, she's never achieved anything of note. Which brings into question of why Pony Celestia took Shimmer as an apprentice in the first place, and what her natural talents actually are. Maybe magic was all she was good at in the first place.

What bugs me the most is the question of age. How old exactly are all these characters? I guess the Sirens are immortal or something, but Shimmer has to be at least a few years older than Twilight, since presumably she left for the portal before Twilight was even an apprentice to Celestia. I suppose there's no reason she couldn't have had two apprentices, but it doesn't quite add up. Also, the CMC are apparently in high school as well, though that's not too crazy if they're freshmen and pretty much everyone else of note is a senior.


Aaaaand that's my quota of over-analysis for the week, see you guys later.

In horsie world I think the mains are in their mid 20s or so on average. Because MLP FIM is basically Designing Women Meets Ultima 4: Quest of the Avatar.

It seems like Dougworld is variable. Since some characters are still adults like Cherillee who is the same age or just a touch older than the mains while the immortal god princesses are like late 20-mid 30s.
(And watch the Rainbow Rocks shorts. Cherillee is at the amusement park walking with Big Mac who is a student! Shame on you teacher! SHAAAME! :-/ )

Yet age same Shining Armor is now post high school but not same age as Cadence because I dunno wibbly wobbly timey wimey? (ERMAGERD BREAKING COMIC CANON NO LONGER AN RPG NERD EITHER.)

By and large much like the realism of Dougworld its better not to think about it because its clear the writers sure as hell didn't and neither did the animators. :pinkieshrug:

that one makes no sense because you can't be a pony and a human in the same place. sci-twi and princess twilight are both humans when they are in the same dimension :twonk:
