6:24 Applejack always had super strength. Remember, she bucks trees every day for a living. Hell, we even saw her buck down a giant tree before in season 4. Plus Maud can punch boulders into pebbles. Earth ponies that do physical labour usually have super strength. =/
Maud lives in another far away tiny rock farm, did you think Maud has any idea about the Everfree forest sense it seems that she isn't even in Ponyville in the first place?
sins aside, I think would be worth-praising how they actualy hand-drawn animated the pony of Shadows when he appeared the first time. Considering the reputation of flash animation, that looked like something the animators tried to have fun with. also: Sin 23: the map, the castle, everything came from the pillars, it was said in the episode itself, come on! Explanation doesn't need to come IMEDIATLY a doubt arise, things can have a build up. Sin 28: the idea of gathering magical items is old, but the RESULT was different in this episode. They weren't trying to "save the day", just though they could rescue the pillars. Sin 40: Eternal Darkness =/= Eternal Night. Sin 48: ah yes, all these reformed villains that STARSWIRL NEVER HEARD OF. I'm pretty sure he would reconsider his philosophy if he was here to see it. Sin 51: Uuuh, Luna wasn't being controlled by any force, she became Nightmare Moon on her own, just like Celestia fears becoming Daybreaker, which begs the question... do Alicorns have a natural tendency to grow insane? Like, this much power in a single body can mess up your mind with time? Would be interesting to have that as season 8 finale, like, showing that even Cadence and Twilight can grow insane if their emotions take the best out of them. Sin 52: Petrification =/= Banishment? Plus, I still think opening a portal to a realm where time doesnt exist is much stronger than a timetravel spell or petrification, which can be done naturaly by basilisks, for crying out loud.
That alicorn mental thing is a pretty interesting consept. Hey what if cadence is (in my eyes) often emotionally detached from others dispite her talent because she connects *too* well? Like the emotions of everyone around her make it hard to show her own? Or that's why she never seems to do much, she's constantly struggling mentally with her power? I mean we know she was an artificial alicorn, and if she was a pegasis then not only would she have to have unicorn magic, but alicorn magic. Not sure. Could also be why the princesses don't do as much, they're worried about how far they might go?
Actually, the pony of shadows was mentioned before in an episode when pinkie pie was being spooky and they thought it was the pony of shadows. It was in an episode where they visit an old castle
Well Twilight was trying to get back on the old man's good side by doing whatever he said and didn't want to do what she likely felt was right because she didn't want to piss him off further. The rest of them were just fangirling it up when it came to the other pillars. Seeing the direction last season's finale went, I was kinda hoping we'd get new main characters, but it doesn't look like the Mane 6 are going anywhere anytime soon :-/.
Sin 18: Probably a handful. Why is this a sin? Sin 25: To an extent it does make sense. Just because magical entities are common in this world, doesn't mean normal ponies who suddenly gain super strength are. Modern technology in real life can be used to flatten cities in seconds, but I would be right to be skeptical if you told me someone had that kind of power in their bare hands. Sin 26 Her whole family is known for having that level of strength. It's part of their jobs. Sin 29: Why would you expect him to die? He often demonstrates that level of invulnerability. Sin 48: He was in limbo for that.
I honestly thought The pony of Shadows was a disappointment....like he looked cool, but he didnt seem that powerful and as you pointed out he wasn't any different from Sombra or Nightmare Moon in the regards of he was just being corrupted and controled by the dark magic he was using....even though Luna was never actually said to have been using Dark Magic as Nightmare Moon, i understand the fandom had just come to that conclusion.....and Star Swirl is just an ass hole and I think it would of been better if he had become Discord
Don't even ask me why I'm an commenting 4 years late because I don't fucking care what you have to say! How is Star Swirl an asshole for being mad at something that easily could have been avoided if Twilight wasn't so eager to bring them back? Star Swirl has the right to be mad at Twilight for not just bringing them back, but for bringing the Pony Of Shadows back, which was a very powerful villain, which was not just a huge struggle for the pillars, it took years, decades, even centuries to bring him down. And now he has to be taken down again. Twilight is the idiot here, not Star Swirl. The pillars just did centuries of hard work, all for nothing thanks to how much of a naive fool Twilight is.
@@gherboggbsdb4326 I know I was, and I realize that I was not being sensible, but you seriously did not have to comment here just to remind me after all of this time. Thanks but no thanks.
Sin 55: Old Ponish (Egyptian, etc) ponies trapped in a time knowing 1000 year old language barely anyone can speak comes out speaking modern tongue and having no trouble communicating... seriously, there wasn't even a second of hesitation followed by a translation spell... they just know modern pony.
There was a full episode explaining the new legendary ponies not to long called campfire tales where Apple jack, rarity, and rainbow dash all went on a trip with their younger sisters and told the legendary the flower maiden, sheld Pegasus, And the strong earth pony. Then in the episode Daring done is where we meet the Pegasus with the blind fold, And for the weird mask was one called health of information. Not to mention there was an episode for the pony of shadows way back but that episode name I can not remember.
Moliminous but compared to the others like king sombra who just came up for the season finale and never heard of again at least we have some consistency of who they are And how they got their magic items
Hey dude, you can get rid of the "as if we've heard the story before" because in the episode with the castle (can't remember the name) AppleJack told RainbowDash the story of The Pony Of Shadows. Of course, it was different, but there are loads of different ways of telling legends (there are many different stories that tell the same events in Greek Myths, like the stories of Prometheus and the reasons why he was chained to the mountain)
2:20 Actually, applejack mentioned it in a scary story in the castle of the 2 sisters, if I remember correctly, it was s4, and rainbow was creeped the fk out
When I got around to part 2, I thought Starswirl and his team would have to seal the Pony of Shadows back in Limbo, forcing them to be trapped again. And it would end with Starswirl telling Twilight that he's proud of her and to keep learning or something before he vanishes. This would leave the mane 6 sad, but at the same time, thank them for saving the world.
Sega Stars Agreed, it would have made for a more interesting story. And not left the writers in a predicament now that they have all these all powerful new characters that are now part of the cast.
Exactly, plus having Starswirl taken away so soon, would leave the mystery behind any other spells he may have had. Now that he's back and something about his magic comes up, they can just go find him, taking away the mystery behind his work. Like that incomplete spell that Twilight had to complete.
yes but remember the reason twighlight became princess of friendship.....she understanded something straswirl didn t friendship.....and him admiting that to twighlight.....she being aproved by her hero...is a good exchange for me....
2:18 The pony of shadows has been mentioned. Applejack even specifically mentioned The Pony of Shadows to Rainbow in season 4 when the visited the old castle. In the same episode Spike plays of the pony of shadows as more of a hoax or fake story, right before we see a dark figure with yellow eyes. Episode name is Castle Mane-ia.
ENJOY! we are free from waking up early on saturdays for just a bit longer! heres to another season! (For those a little slow, I'm not saying the legends aren't mentioned, but that they are only mentioned like 3 episodes ago all at once, for the pony of shadows that's completely isolated. Had they known about them the pillars battle with him would have been known too)
Moliminous I watch 2 episodes in one day for FANILLY of my little pony you can Check that episode on this Channel ( Dmitriev MLP Channel ) hi the wone make that 2 Episodes so go see that
Moliminous Here's my MLP idea episodes They should make another background ponies episode like In slice of life, but this time it takes place at Canterlot, like moon dancer and her friends try to get tickets for a concert, but every pony in Canterlot are on the rush to get to the concert, upper crust, jet set, Fancypants and Fleur dis Lee in this episode as well I wish they make an episode where Ember and her dragons and Thorax and his Reformed Changlings are invited to a Galloping Gala at Canterlot, but the ponies of Canterlot starting to be prejudice towards the dragons and changlings, Princess Twilight and her friends try to convince the Canterlot ponies that their not evil they're friendly, would that be a good idea for an episode? they should make an episode where Trixe, Starlight, ember, thorax, spike and the mane 6 perform a magic show in Canterlot, or Las Pegasus, but Trixe is having a hard time to be ready for the big night of her show, so starlight, ember, thorax, spike and the mane 6 tries to help her, would that be a great idea for an episode They should make an episode where Trxie's family come to ponyville to see her best friend Starlight and the mane 6, would that be a good episode? I wish they make an Fleur Dis Lee episode They should make a episode where spike and mane 7 go to Fillydelphia and visit Fillydelphia's Dragon Town, like Manehattan, Fillydelphia is a mostly modernized citu with cement roads and skyscrapers. It has an all-unicorn police force, and it is also home to a thriving population of dragons who live in a separate part of the city called Dragon Town, and the mane 7 and spike are send to Fillydelphia to solve a friendship problem from a pony or dragon, would that be a good idea for a episode They should make an episode of Diamond Tiara throwing a big birthday party, but she ask the help of the CMC to make this the best party in ponyville They should make a princess episode where Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Ember and Princess Skystar get together in Twilight's castle or maybe in Celestia's castle
Starswirl had been mentioned throughout the whole series, the healing pony(MeadowBrook I think?) had been mentioned in the season five premiere(but as a unicorn?), and the Pony of Shadows was hinted at in season 4 episode 3.
Hey Moliminous so for sin #9 the pony of shadows was mentioned by Applejack in season 4 episode 3. You need to brush up on your horse lore bro, then again I think it's better if you didn't know that because that means your not "obsessed" with the show and that's a good thing in it's own right; unlike me :(
Indeed, a good handful of his sins on any given video DO in fact have explanations, still entertaining, but he does make mistakes and miss things from time to time.
This has got to be your weakest video. You get continuity wrong involving the Pony of Shadows and the Legend ponies, and most of your text is completely different than what you're saying. Also, waaay too bitter
Ikr! He sounded really angry and I couldn't take him seriously. Also most of his points are tiny problems that are so stupid they either don't need to be explained (Why do you need to explain how magic works? It's flipping magic! Are you gonna be angry they don't explain how wands work in Harry Potter?) or are just plain wrong (as you said in your comment.)
Yup, I was gonna add that we did hear mention of "the pony of Shadow" in that episode where they revisit the old Castle NMM was holed up in waaaay back in Season 1. We still don't know who that pony was at the end of that episode though (unless it was just Pinkie Pie).
The fact that this pony of shadow was so dangerous that the starswirl needed to sacrifice himself. Then where was discord in all these times??? Because let's admit it that whatever it is the strongest motherfucker in all of Equestria. Timeline is skewed in mlp.
The shadow pony WAS mentioned before. Remember the episode where the main six went into the sisters’ old castle and got scared shitless by what they thought was the shadow pony for 22 minutes. Then at the end they found out it was just each other, then there was a shadow pony that broke the fourth wall and glared with yellow eyes after the main six. There were theories that it was starswirl and everything! REMEMBER?! Sorry, got carried away 😅
"Like this is a story we heard about" Hey remember castle mania where they all though pinkie was the PONY OF SHADOWS and aj remembers granny Smith talking about the PONY OF SHADOWS And that's freaking season 4 one of the most known seasons
I remember reading one of the comics once. I believe it was one of the friendship is magic issues, anyways at one point it showed in a book on one page of the comic a picture of the pony of shadows.
In shadow play part 2, before Starlight asked the pillars about the Pony of Shadows, when RD shined flash Magnus's shield, for a split second when she handed it to him, her back wing is a different color
I loved this episode....it may be the second or third best season finale for me.....we got lore....we got 3 good morals.....we had a lot of continuity....it complitelly surprised me with the forshadowing.....there were all in character.....twighlight showed to be better than his idol.....i was entertained.....and there were but little plotholes in it. I love you moliminous, i know you are tired but i you were too harsh men. For the rest if you want to stop.....i will continue watching your videos.....
5:52 we’ll they were kind of mentioned in the Season 6 premiere “The Crystalling” part 2 by Sunburst and in Campfire Tales and in Daring Done earlier this season
You forgot that an ancient old helmet was somehow hidden for over a thousand years in a simple pile of loose dirt out in the open on a solid rock ground.
Ginger Kays I suppose they are seen as they get away from *any* bad situation they're in. It's like Nagito Komaeda times however many ponies there are because honestly, I've lost count by now!
The only sin I see here is believing two universal concepts are tied only to an obscure anime and thus anything else that introduces those concepts is ripping off from said anime.
You forgot to mention that the story portrays the pillars as being entirely wrong for viewing Stygian as a bad person but he stole their artifacts without asking and placed them in a position that clearly resembled a mystic ritual and after getting caught he didn’t try to explain himself and he came back as a shadow monster so they had every reason to think badly of him and absolutely no reason to think otherwise
Apple jack had the super strenght from that one episode when the main 6 dressed up as that super hero to teach Rainbow Dash about bragging too much, when she stopped something from falling of the cliff.
13:28 actually if you pay attention in the the show you can hear each one of their names in different episodes of what spells and what do they do in all type of stuff about them
We heard the Pony Of Shadows story back in castle mania. Rainbow Dash is refering to that. Over time the story was drastically changed over generations of being passed down, though I still cannot understand that shadow we saw in the end of that Castle Maneia Episode and why it looked more like star swirl. Or perhaps there were two Pony of Shadows and Dash mistakes this one for the other one.
You keep talking about how we dont know anything about these legends.... but actually we do. they each were spoken about in an episode that went pretty into detail about how they became so important. in fact, those episodes tell exactly why all those things are important as well; strength, healing etc. .
Moliminous, the pony of shadows WAS mentioned (and somehow seen at the end) on the episode where Pinkie is playing on the organ in the Castle of the two sisters.
"The darkness" could be both things, maybe its first now (or maybe abit lster) that they ubderstand how emotions can msnifest and consume one self in equestria?
But apparently there is a ghost story of the pony of shadows? Or did that episode in season 4 where RD and AJ see who can stay in the castle of the two sisters longer disappear from public memory?
7:50 Starswirl! I’m not ready! 9:10 No light + slight amnesia = if you need a spell to fix your head, find Discord. He’s more lit than anything by then. Discord + Book + Diary = No wait. You’re boned.
I think this season finally would have been better as a season starter if they did this like what they did with the locked box tree of harmony and have them trying translate the book and find the relics scattered across equestria.
HERES A SIN! Starlight was given no credit for saving Equestia and actually being correct. Twilight, even though being the reason for everything happening, is given more celebration for DOOMING EQUESTRIA and starlights just standing there not getting ANYTHING!
yall...I just noticed this...In "The Crystal Empire Part 2" episode at the end Celestia was holding Starswirls journal...So that means..Celestia gave the journal to the shop?And then Sunburst found it?If you don't believe me,watch The Crystal Empire Part 2 and Shadow Play.
"Oh we`ve never heard of these legends before!" suuure all those episodes where they built upon each legend just didn't exist I presume? Tf? do u even watch the show anymore or did u just forget?
hold we did know about the pony of shadows before. member that hold thing where twi went to castle of the two sisters, and all her friends where scaring each other and we saw, the pony of shadows in the end cut scene.
They actually DO KNOW the story of the pony of shadows. If you would pay attention in season 4 the episode " Castle Mania " the ponies talk about the pony of shadows and even thought that it was there, even though it turned out to be Pinkie Pie playing the organ.
Um anyone else wondering why he said the comment about never hearing about the pony of shadows before when we find out about the old mares tale in the episode Castle Mania?
I don't get how none of the mane six saw any similarities between the Pony of Shadows and Nightmare Moon. They were both good once, until they realized they were being casted out by their loved ones, so they became consumed by jealousy and were granted a huge evil power, which they attempted to use to cast Equestria into eternal darkness, forcing their loved ones to step up and make a sacrifice in order to banish them. It's a pretty solid pattern, and you would think someone noticed it.
I normally watch these parodies for a laugh because that's all they are but that one point has been on my mind since I watched the finale How the heck could they have been gone for 1,000 years when Luna was banished for the same time AFTER they were gone...obviously after since they know nothing about the tree and the sisters used the elements before Luna was banished and she returned FIRST and by a few years at that
2:43 you can forget any language if you don't practice it for long enough, I have a friend who spoke Russian with her mother who doesn't speak a word Dutch despite living in a Dutch speaking country (she married someone here) and she didn't speak a word Dutch untill she started school, then she slowly spoke with her mother less and less and now she barely remembers a few words Russian, if it's been over a thousand years for Celestia I can see how she is a bit rusty, also if Luna wasn't aware of time passing and to her it feels like just one second passed while she was on the moon I can imagine she wouldn't be so rusty as Celestia depending on how long ago they switched to the language currently used. Also they are the rulers of Equestria, who has time to read and translate an old book if they have to rule?
This is entire finale had me like "UM ACCUSE! INCORRECT!" So they saved Luna was banished and discord was turned to stone with the elements right? Ao if celestia and Luna worked together to banish discord with the eliments of harmony.... YOU SEE HOW THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!! Yeah thats the whole fucking season!!
@@Doomsday-yo7lh yeahhh....no I don't think it is because we use 1000 time measurements. Mlp timeline is kinda fucked. Also Discord according to him is eaons old. I really don't think he would just stand by.
If Raritys horn can clean a garden so easily, then I guess when Applejack and Rarity went to Manehattan to fix the park for the play for Coco, having Applejack fix the park instead of Rarity was a mistake?

Ethena Heart Castle mane-ia or something like that?
Amy Love Random yep, That one
The point is these legends were only a few episodes ago. The castle mania episode is also not related, completely different group
Moliminous but compared to the others like king sombra who just came up for the season finale and never heard of again at least we have some consistency of who they are And how they got their magic items
Moliminous weren't Applejack and Rainbow talking about him?
does he not realize that we have heard of all of these legendary characters before in this season?

They should make another background ponies episode like In slice of life, but this time it takes place at Canterlot, like moon dancer and her friends try to get tickets for a concert, but every pony in Canterlot are on the rush to get to the concert, upper crust, jet set, Fancypants and Fleur dis Lee in this episode as well
I wish they make an episode where Ember and her dragons and Thorax and his Reformed Changlings are invited to a Galloping Gala at Canterlot, but the ponies of Canterlot starting to be prejudice towards the dragons and changlings, Princess Twilight and her friends try to convince the Canterlot ponies that their not evil they're friendly, would that be a good idea for an episode?
they should make an episode where Trixe, Starlight, ember, thorax, spike and the mane 6 perform a magic show in Canterlot, or Las Pegasus, but Trixe is having a hard time to be ready for the big night of her show, so starlight, ember, thorax, spike and the mane 6 tries to help her, would that be a great idea for an episode
They should make an episode where Trxie's family come to ponyville to see her best friend Starlight and the mane 6, would that be a good episode?
I wish they make an Fleur Dis Lee episode
They should make a episode where spike and mane 7 go to Fillydelphia and visit Fillydelphia's Dragon Town, like Manehattan, Fillydelphia is a mostly modernized citu with cement roads and skyscrapers. It has an all-unicorn police force, and it is also home to a thriving population of dragons who live in a separate part of the city called Dragon Town, and the mane 7 and spike are send to Fillydelphia to solve a friendship problem from a pony or dragon, would that be a good idea for a episode
They should make an episode of Diamond Tiara throwing a big birthday party, but she ask the help of the CMC to make this the best party in ponyville
They should make a princess episode where Princess Twilight Sparkle, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadance, Princess Ember and Princess Skystar get together in Twilight's castle or maybe in Celestia's castle
Starswirl had been mentioned throughout the whole series, the healing pony(MeadowBrook I think?) had been mentioned in the season five premiere(but as a unicorn?), and the Pony of Shadows was hinted at in season 4 episode 3.
Oh, and the sirens were in this episode too.
That thumbnail. I called it! XD
Hey Moliminous so for sin #9 the pony of shadows was mentioned by Applejack in season 4 episode 3. You need to brush up on your horse lore bro, then again I think it's better if you didn't know that because that means your not "obsessed" with the show and that's a good thing in it's own right; unlike me :(
Anthony Severino your right
Indeed, a good handful of his sins on any given video DO in fact have explanations, still entertaining, but he does make mistakes and miss things from time to time.
GiaTan Nguyen you’re
Is he not essentially just a fusion of Nightmare Moon/Luna and Sombra?
X Ruby X pretty much so I though of the same thing when I seen his look and what he say.
This has got to be your weakest video. You get continuity wrong involving the Pony of Shadows and the Legend ponies, and most of your text is completely different than what you're saying. Also, waaay too bitter
Ikr! He sounded really angry and I couldn't take him seriously. Also most of his points are tiny problems that are so stupid they either don't need to be explained (Why do you need to explain how magic works? It's flipping magic! Are you gonna be angry they don't explain how wands work in Harry Potter?) or are just plain wrong (as you said in your comment.)
Yup, I was gonna add that we did hear mention of "the pony of Shadow" in that episode where they revisit the old Castle NMM was holed up in waaaay back in Season 1. We still don't know who that pony was at the end of that episode though (unless it was just Pinkie Pie).
Or Zecora. You know, since she already looked like that in other episodes...
The fact that this pony of shadow was so dangerous that the starswirl needed to sacrifice himself. Then where was discord in all these times??? Because let's admit it that whatever it is the strongest motherfucker in all of Equestria. Timeline is skewed in mlp.
I bet starlight is going to be the princess of compassion
The shadow pony WAS mentioned before. Remember the episode where the main six went into the sisters’ old castle and got scared shitless by what they thought was the shadow pony for 22 minutes. Then at the end they found out it was just each other, then there was a shadow pony that broke the fourth wall and glared with yellow eyes after the main six. There were theories that it was starswirl and everything! REMEMBER?!
Sorry, got carried away 😅
For the elements being drained thing, I simply presumed the gems had run low on power when reviving the Tree of Harmony, and were now recharging.
"Like this is a story we heard about" Hey remember castle mania where they all though pinkie was the PONY OF SHADOWS and aj remembers granny Smith talking about the PONY OF SHADOWS And that's freaking season 4 one of the most known seasons
I remember reading one of the comics once. I believe it was one of the friendship is magic issues, anyways at one point it showed in a book on one page of the comic a picture of the pony of shadows.
Now that Star Swirl is canon and still alive after the finale, they can't use any of his spells to save the day anymore. So; now what, writers?
In shadow play part 2, before Starlight asked the pillars about the Pony of Shadows, when RD shined flash Magnus's shield, for a split second when she handed it to him, her back wing is a different color
The pony of shadows was mentioned on one of the episodes of season 1 or season 2
2:20 because it is a story we've heard before. The Pony of Shadows was mentioned to be a horror story in the haunted castle episode.
I loved this episode....it may be the second or third best season finale for me.....we got lore....we got 3 good morals.....we had a lot of continuity....it complitelly surprised me with the forshadowing.....there were all in character.....twighlight showed to be better than his idol.....i was entertained.....and there were but little plotholes in it. I love you moliminous, i know you are tired but i you were too harsh men. For the rest if you want to stop.....i will continue watching your videos.....
Technically, we have seen the pony of shadow before. I think it was in season 4?
4:01 they secure, they contain, they protect *DING*
We HAVE heard of the Pony of Shadows before. Castle Mane-ia.
5:52 we’ll they were kind of mentioned in the Season 6 premiere “The Crystalling” part 2 by Sunburst and in Campfire Tales and in Daring Done earlier this season
You forgot that an ancient old helmet was somehow hidden for over a thousand years in a simple pile of loose dirt out in the open on a solid rock ground.
You live in a world with discord but you don't believe someone who saves a village with a shovel of lava
I have another sin-thing: Talking about despair and hope = ripping off Danganronpa/obscure anime that no one here will probably know about.
Twilight and friends are the ultimate lucky ponies
Ginger Kays I suppose they are seen as they get away from *any* bad situation they're in. It's like Nagito Komaeda times however many ponies there are because honestly, I've lost count by now!
The only sin I see here is believing two universal concepts are tied only to an obscure anime and thus anything else that introduces those concepts is ripping off from said anime.
Why isn't their blood red?
GhostGirl666 I believe it was to make it a TV-14 rating or something instead of TV-MA
Molimuonus: why are you saying that like we’ve heard that story before?
Me: because we did.
We did hear about the pony of shadows before. In that episode where they went through the two sister's castle (and there were trapdoors everywhere).
You forgot to mention that the story portrays the pillars as being entirely wrong for viewing Stygian as a bad person but he stole their artifacts without asking and placed them in a position that clearly resembled a mystic ritual and after getting caught he didn’t try to explain himself and he came back as a shadow monster so they had every reason to think badly of him and absolutely no reason to think otherwise
2:20 That episode where Applejack tells Rainbow about the pony of shadows when they were doing dares in Celestias and Lunas old castle
Getting into the realm of cohesive plots is a good thing.
Apple jack had the super strenght from that one episode when the main 6 dressed up as that super hero to teach Rainbow Dash about bragging too much, when she stopped something from falling of the cliff.
6:26 Equestria Girls 4... Another sign it's cannon to the show? (Sin 26)
13:28 actually if you pay attention in the the show you can hear each one of their names in different episodes of what spells and what do they do in all type of stuff about them
2:20 The Castle-Mania episode
But not much
We heard the Pony Of Shadows story back in castle mania. Rainbow Dash is refering to that. Over time the story was drastically changed over generations of being passed down, though I still cannot understand that shadow we saw in the end of that Castle Maneia Episode and why it looked more like star swirl. Or perhaps there were two Pony of Shadows and Dash mistakes this one for the other one.
12:45 also, they did still use them for banishing. They banished the shadow to limbo
You keep talking about how we dont know anything about these legends.... but actually we do. they each were spoken about in an episode that went pretty into detail about how they became so important. in fact, those episodes tell exactly why all those things are important as well; strength, healing etc. .
Moliminous, the pony of shadows WAS mentioned (and somehow seen at the end) on the episode where Pinkie is playing on the organ in the Castle of the two sisters.
"The darkness" could be both things, maybe its first now (or maybe abit lster) that they ubderstand how emotions can msnifest and consume one self in equestria?
But apparently there is a ghost story of the pony of shadows? Or did that episode in season 4 where RD and AJ see who can stay in the castle of the two sisters longer disappear from public memory?
7:50
Starswirl! I’m not ready!
9:10
No light + slight amnesia = if you need a spell to fix your head, find Discord. He’s more lit than anything by then.
Discord + Book + Diary = No wait. You’re boned.
I think this season finally would have been better as a season starter if they did this like what they did with the locked box tree of harmony and have them trying translate the book and find the relics scattered across equestria.
maybe the thing where they were being controlled by (the shadows/darkness) is a continuous thing, and they'll address it in season 8
3:10
great... now we have 2 Book Horses.😒
Because it’s a spell that makes you travel trough DIMENSIONS
HERES A SIN! Starlight was given no credit for saving Equestia and actually being correct. Twilight, even though being the reason for everything happening, is given more celebration for DOOMING EQUESTRIA and starlights just standing there not getting ANYTHING!
yall...I just noticed this...In "The Crystal Empire Part 2" episode at the end Celestia was holding Starswirls journal...So that means..Celestia gave the journal to the shop?And then Sunburst found it?If you don't believe me,watch The Crystal Empire Part 2 and Shadow Play.
That pony who talks about legends like they are propesterous looks a lot like professor cinch from the friendship games!
You are so Triggered by this episode and it’s Hilarious! XD! I love this so much, lol!
"Oh we`ve never heard of these legends before!" suuure all those episodes where they built upon each legend just didn't exist I presume? Tf? do u even watch the show anymore or did u just forget?
EXACTLY !!
This kind of feels like the writers are Jumping the Shark with adding all these random new threats
hold we did know about the pony of shadows before. member that hold thing where twi went to castle of the two sisters, and all her friends where scaring each other and we saw, the pony of shadows in the end cut scene.
9:52
Yes. What a wonderful kids show...
Well there was the camp fire tales episode, the one where Fluttershy saves Zecora etc and the legend of magic comics
When the first part she was studying starwirls not portal but now she is studying magical portal and we know there is lot thing about portals
I think the candles were the reason why the room was lit
Um Pony of Shadow, Castle Mania... Yeah Moliminous, we have heard about the Pony of Shadow before.
RIP MLPFIM. 2010-2017 You will be missed.
*2019
They actually DO KNOW the story of the pony of shadows. If you would pay attention in season 4 the episode " Castle Mania " the ponies talk about the pony of shadows and even thought that it was there, even though it turned out to be Pinkie Pie playing the organ.
Not to mention King Sombra is the True Villain of MLP, he was also cast out just like the pony of Shadows without giving a second chance!
We don't know his backstory.
basically in mlp unicorns are NOT, I REPEAT NOT, the only ponies that can do magic
I think Twilight's main intention was just to meet starswirl
4:57 that was time... WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FRIKIN UNIVERSES AND DIMENSIONS!!!!!!!!!
Um anyone else wondering why he said the comment about never hearing about the pony of shadows before when we find out about the old mares tale in the episode Castle Mania?
I don't get how none of the mane six saw any similarities between the Pony of Shadows and Nightmare Moon. They were both good once, until they realized they were being casted out by their loved ones, so they became consumed by jealousy and were granted a huge evil power, which they attempted to use to cast Equestria into eternal darkness, forcing their loved ones to step up and make a sacrifice in order to banish them. It's a pretty solid pattern, and you would think someone noticed it.
When you realise that in season 1 or one of the seasons there was a pony of shadows mentioned. But, this is quite confusing honestly.
Should start a we should've listened to Starlight counter.......
Yes, yes we should
I normally watch these parodies for a laugh because that's all they are but that one point has been on my mind since I watched the finale
How the heck could they have been gone for 1,000 years when Luna was banished for the same time AFTER they were gone...obviously after since they know nothing about the tree and the sisters used the elements before Luna was banished and she returned FIRST and by a few years at that
2:43 you can forget any language if you don't practice it for long enough, I have a friend who spoke Russian with her mother who doesn't speak a word Dutch despite living in a Dutch speaking country (she married someone here) and she didn't speak a word Dutch untill she started school, then she slowly spoke with her mother less and less and now she barely remembers a few words Russian, if it's been over a thousand years for Celestia I can see how she is a bit rusty, also if Luna wasn't aware of time passing and to her it feels like just one second passed while she was on the moon I can imagine she wouldn't be so rusty as Celestia depending on how long ago they switched to the language currently used. Also they are the rulers of Equestria, who has time to read and translate an old book if they have to rule?
This episode broke so much of what we thought was Canon
Well the pony of shadow as briefly mentioned in Castle Man-ia
Actually, I heard Season 8 is coming in Spring 2018. Just like how S7 premiered in Spring 2017.
i thought i'd have to wait another hour for this
This is entire finale had me like "UM ACCUSE! INCORRECT!" So they saved Luna was banished and discord was turned to stone with the elements right? Ao if celestia and Luna worked together to banish discord with the eliments of harmony.... YOU SEE HOW THIS MAKES NO SENSE!!! Yeah thats the whole fucking season!!
Simple. The seed was planted before Discord took over, which was before Luna became Nightmare Moon.
@@Doomsday-yo7lh yeahhh....no I don't think it is because we use 1000 time measurements. Mlp timeline is kinda fucked. Also Discord according to him is eaons old. I really don't think he would just stand by.
52: Actually, Discord was turned to stone, not banished. Big difference, big fact...
Mane 6 and Legend 6 meet
I sorry for Stygion
If Raritys horn can clean a garden so easily, then I guess when Applejack and Rarity went to Manehattan to fix the park for the play for Coco, having Applejack fix the park instead of Rarity was a mistake?
Surprised you didn't bring up the sirens in any way before moving on to the sin for Stygian being like Luna
The pillars have all been mentioned before along with the pony of shadows
