Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

@Background Pony #2AC9  
I might just wind up waiting for the official airings.

I’m waiting too, on account of being a season behind.

If someone was to tell you in 2012 that Discord would cause the destruction of the EoH and got treated like a hero for it how would you react?

@Broken Adam  
Like I’m not being told what he does between 2012 and the finale.

I’m curious now, what did Discord whisper to Celestia and Luna in Ep25? Or was it just inaudible cartoon whispers? Also wondering what happened to the statue.

@Broken Adam  
Better, what happens when one tells you that there is a comic that portrays Discord as a good guy all this time, and all evil was made by his ax-crazy exgf?

@Wiimeiser  
It was just whispers. But I assume it was something along the lines of “Lets turn them into a statute so they have to spend forever together.” or something along those lines
 
@Broken Adam  
He wasn’t treated like a hero at all for that. In fact the Mane Six and the Princesses were angry at him the whole time. I don’t get where you think he was treated like a hero for it.
 
Edit: I really wonder when they plan on showing those Clip shows, there are six of them and each are 22 minutes long. Maybe they plan on having a marathon for the end of the series? Like have DF show all 3 final episodes plus the six clip shows all at once. That would be a lot to show. Honestly, anyway they show the clip shows its going to be a lot to sit though. Showing them once a week like normal episodes makes no sense.
 
It could be that they might actually be extras for a Blu ray DVD set release and aren’t intended to be shown on TV.

@IceKitsune  
I am actually looking forward to those clip shows! I hope they are releasing them on the same day as the finale, as well!

Going through episode 22 and I feel the audio guys deliberately made the CMC’s foal voices a lot higher pitched here. Like Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom have a much higher pitch than they did in The Last Crusade

@Background Pony #2AC9
 
Wait.

They litterally kill them. Man they are harsh now. I do not like it one bit. The epilogue as well. Sad pone.
 

I’m curious to know what episode changed the most from its original script, and which one changed the least. My guesses are Fame and Misfortune and Spike at Your Service respectively.

I’d love to see the scripts, and I can’t wait to see these clip shows. Just, anything to drag pony out a little longer ^^
 
Again, I haven’t seen the scripts, but I imagine that each clip show will focus on the chosen ponies episodes that paired them up with twilight.
 
For example, Pinkie’s would be things like Feeling Pinkie Keen, Mmmystery On The Friendship Express, A Trivial Matter etc.
 
Am I in the right ball park? ^^

@Background Pony #6991  
If Chrysalis had’t said that then Cozy and Tirek probably would have been reformed.

@silbasa  
well tirek is immortal, so that rules him out

@Background Pony #57E4
 
Them accepting being friends to each other would in no way guarantee they would reform. Discord didn’t even attempt to get them to stop hating ponies,etc. At best it’d be a circlejerk kind of friendship where they probably would still be evil

@Background Pony #A264  
So like most regular groups of friends, then?

@EotD  
Kinda wish they started doing that four seasons ago.

@Shimmering Spectacle
 
Do you think you literally can’t kill Tirek, even in his decrepit form? Is that what you mean by “rules him out”?

is there a way to turn off spoiler filter?

I keep hearing things about the final that make me want to chicken out of watching it. At least until I know where the franchise is heading lol

@Applelight Limited  
nah this site just goes more ape shit about finals

@NeoEnvy  
Bronies in general pitch a hissy fit for every finale since Season 2. And since this is a SERIES finale, it’s gonna be 100 times worse than before.

@NeoEnvy  
It’s the emotional rollercoaster ride I’m worried about lol

@Penguin Lagann  
aaaaaaaand thats why im avoiding it XD
