Season 4 episode discussion (Stream & episode links in first post)

@MrXemnas1992  
That’s certainly a hope inspiring connection.

@Bolan  
Rarity is a husbando stealer?  
hm?

@Bolan  
I’m hoping for the return of Blu Mankuma as Flutterguy.
 
 
We have a canon name for the mystery Pie sister, Maud Pie. Thinking the most obvious route would be for her to be a stick in the mud.

@DoomPony  
Glad we don’t have to bother with names for her anymore.

@PonyPon  
But doesn’t this contradict a book somewhere?
 
I’m not following the books, so any information I get about them is third-party.

@Etherchanter  
Nope.
 
She was only registered to exist. No name was given.

@PonyPon  
Ah. Good.

Definitely feeling very uneasy about this.

So, this is a thing.  

@PonyPon
 
One, Relax. The investors meeting is the hype machine for those wanting to put stock into the company  
Two, We still have 8 episodes that have zero titles/synopsis to them. IF something big is going to happen, hopefully the show staff will give two licks.  
Three, Hasbro still markets to kids first, fans second (as a TF fan, I’m used to this). They want Rainbow Kingdoms, they’ll do Rainbow Kingdoms. Unless we see a 180 in the characters (from fleshed out to interchangeable drivel) we should be okay.
 
Besides, have you seen the Hasbro POP figures. Oh my the OCs have nothing on them.

@Trickquestion  
Most likely that will be the length of the current generation, which is normal for MLP in general (compared to Transformers that has redesigns every 3 years not counting movie and man none of those excited me or GI Joe which…let’s not talk about the abuse the 50+ year franchise gets lately)

@Background Pony  
POP figures?

@PonyPon  
Put shit all over your ponies, self assembly.

These guys. Hasbro had a few slides showing new “designs” and wow do they take OCs to an entertaining level.

So, if the latest episode revealed is called Maud Pie, then…  
>>496744  
…yet another April Fools title becomes true.

@PonyPon  
@Trickquestion  
Not sure how to feel about those. On one hand, addressing Twilight’s princess title is good. On the other, giving her a kingdom to rule… how would she get to time for her friends, and her research?

This is an interesting slide:  

@ender1200  
Why?
 
We’ve seen that before.

No shit, really? Hahaha.
 
 
@Grieffon  
Cadance is bored by her rule, presumably it would just run itself.

@Grieffon  
And the Kingdom is implied to be Ponyville.
 
What do you even say to that?

@PonyPon  
“I’m moving.”
 
Seriously, I would not want to live under princess cocobananas. Her citizens will end up being an entire kingdom of Spikes.

@Itsthinking  
In Luna’s micro, she found Celestia’s job boring. Not because there’s nothing to do, it’s just everything is boring.
 
As much as I like them do something about the princess title, I guess deep down I still want things to stay the same.
 
@PonyPon  
I’m… fine with it, actually. I’m not thinking about how it works for the story, just how I feel. Is there a source for that?

Call me crazy, but I’m not going to jump to the conclusion that the “Rainbow Kingdom” is going to be Twilight’s kingdom specifically.

@Grieffon  
In a way, they kind of do.
 
With a fresh coat of paint and a new windshield, but more or less the same.
 
@Zennistrad  
But that’s the exact words used in the meeting.
 
“Twilight Sparkle will get her own Rainbow Kingdom.”

@PonyPon  
Wow, Mayor Mare is gonna be pissed. Unless Twilight decides just to be ceremonial in Ponyville proper.
