Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]
Background Pony #2B0B
Just to be clear, even thought episode 21 disappointed me (continuity wise, because as a standalone episode was actually pretty good) I’m not gonna give up on the finale. The episodes of the season related to the story arc are still the best of the season, so I’m still remaining positive for the finale.

in all honestly, it’s best that no known fandom ships become canon, ever

It won’t. I’m 99.9999% sure.
Heck, you’d be hard-pressed to say StarBurst would be confirmed before the end, at this rate.
@PrincessEmber2019
Probably in the finale. I hope she gets her ass kicked.

I’m a little angry and sad about the (apparent) postponement of episode 22. I’m going to get moldy from having to wait so long!

Can a villain win for once? I would love to see Chrysalis win for the finale. But would be not likely because Twilight Sparkle and co.

Maybe if enough fans complain to YouKu, can we have episode 22 earlier? Or (I’m not talking seriously in the part that’s coming next, it’s just a bad joke) will we have to resort to hacking?

If Chrysalis wins, I think that means Spike dies. That’s what I think Rarity was portrayed as doing in the trailer, stopping her from an unambiguous murder attempt, judging from him being downed.
So no, she can’t win. This isn’t that kind of show.

I mean, considering her and the villains are the key to the heroes winning over all, she could win for a little bit.

My opinion on tomorrow episode in US said in Hades’ style: “WHAT ELEGANCE! WHAT CRAZYNESS! WHAT A SPECTACLE OF PURE MADNESS!”

Part of me is annoyed that the episodes are delayed, while another part of me is glad that series finale spoilers floating around is getting put off.

Honestly, at this point, having just a synopsis for episode 23 and the finale would be enough for me. Since China won’t give other episodes anytime soon, we still have Australia that can help us. I would just need a stream, maybe the one given by Orangebirds the last year could be fine.

I just wanna know whether or not Spike is gonna get his well-deserved ending! So far so good - but that’s what I said about season 6 until he was pushed aside in the finale.

Fluttershy, reading while flying is dangerous.
Ooh, is Fluttershy a bigger fan than Rainbow Dash?
Groom Q.Q. Martingale? Did he write Celestial Game of Thrones too? Wait a sec… Fluttershy, didn’t the fact that the author wasn’t A.K. Yearling tip you off that this wasn’t really a Daring Do novel?
I guess most ponies outside South Equestria didn’t know that Dr. Cabaleron exists.
Does Groom know about Dr. Cabaleron being a thief as well? Obviously.
Did RD just call her Buttershy?
Dash, didn’t you learn already that Daring’s escapades have caused damage and grief for civilians, and that the fact that it being for a good cause doesn’t mitigate any pony’s anger?
Kicks puppies? If you mean that literally, dial it the fuck back, Martingale. Sounds like you’re lying.
Daring Do sounds like a memoir.
Ok, so you dress up in Daring Do costumes to complain to her? That’s so pathetically petty.
Ok, Martingale likes hitting below the belt. Dick.
Hey, no cutsies!
“Daring Do’s arch nemesis created a fake authorself so he can write books that make him sound like a hero! Who does that?”
“Uh, A.K. Yearling?”
“This is totally different.”
The fact that he refers to Cabaleron as a different pony is what this site calls “sock puppetry.”
Was it an artistic choice to leave out Caball kidnapping of RD?
Hey, it’s November Rain.
The fang-thorn flowers are blue instead of red? Like I said, memoir, ignoring it just being an editor’s error.
If you’re selling artifacts to the highest bidder, does that mean you’re putting them in the gift shop? If you sell it, you can’t really study it by keeping it in your museum.
Turning on the waterworks with such an affectedly forlorn voice.
“She does destroy a lot of ancient sites.” Is Fluttershy channeling Pinkie’s 4th wall powers to see the flashback?
This sounds like a job that Applejack would be useful for.
What?! Come on, Daring Do, I just stood up for you, and now you tell me you did once kicked a puppy?
Puppy-kicker. Strips in front of foals. Damn, that’s a pretty fucked rap sheet. Also, is A.K. a literal costume on top of her adventurer persona? She took off the cape, wearing nothing under it, and boom! Her adventurer garb…ok, I’ll stop taking that so seriously.
Daring Do does not have a machete.
“Have you ever tried just talking to [the animals stampeding toward you]?” Uh, does his cutie mark look like yours?
“I can’t watch!” [closes eyes, opens one]
A few kind words from Fluttershy really brightens one’s day, huh?
That’s an overplayed little gag there.
This little “hope is lost!” ploy is so narmy. Fluttershy, are you taking him seriously? It’s so obvious he’s lying.
What’s wrong with leaving it there? It’s doing fine.
Why couldn’t you goons have made that bridge before?
It’s kinda hilarious how easy Fluttershy is to manipulate.
I remember someone saying that a villain in this show should pretend to be noble for sympathy points. Well, here you go.
Because of course you stole it.
Heh, he’s filing his nails.
The Deluxe Spa Package.
You’ll make a good tenor opera pony.
Bad guys can have multiple dimensions, too, ya know.
So, was causing a heat wave a way to dissuade ponies from happening upon any of the artifacts that Ahuizotl was in charge of?
No shit, RD.
Uh, Yearling, you stripped into your Daring Do persona in front of a foal. Some pony’s gonna find out even if Cabaleron keeps his mouth shut.
Ok, some pony has got to be a less skilled writer. And those glasses are totally fake.

The first time we saw Caballeron onscreen in Daring Done, before he said that, Rainbow Dash was standing right next to her… so did he not actually recognize her in disguise, paper-thin disguise working both ways?
@Vivace
I’d half-jokingly wonder if Caballeron was under the impression “they” were in a relationship, and lived together.

When the confrontation happened in Daring Done (after Rainbow Dash got kidnapped), Daring Do wasn’t in disguise, and in Daring Don’t, she threw off the disguise in front of his henchponies… but not in front of Caballeron himself.
So I guess he had a strong suspicion that Daring Do was in the crowd in Daring Done?
I guess it adds a possibly funny dimension to Stranger Than Fan Fiction, in that he might not have recognized Daring Do in that episode if he saw her at the convention, but his henchponies might have.
