Let's not forget that at the start of episode 1, Twilight was reading the story behind Luna's banishment from a history book. (Or was it a book on old pony legends? I forget.) Who knows how accuratetly it depicted what really happened? And I'm not talking about Celestia being a tyrant and purposefully supressing the truth or anything like that, but simply pointing out that the whole story might not have been recorded in history books.

That's true. 1000 years is a long time. There's no way to relate an Equestrian year to an Earth year or know the lifespan of a pony but in any case it was long enough that nopony else had even heard the story before.

They really should get Patrick Stewart in one of the episodes...

This would be the greatest thing ever.

I really wished they would've shown AJ's and Pinkie's reaction to their friends freaking out about being regular old earth ponies.

That's more or less how Twilight saw it, as she never pieced together that the story was about Celestia or that NMM was her sister.

I think it's far to take the story at face value, unless the show says otherwise.

No one knowing who NMM was kind of a plothole in ep 1 for me, as even if it's an "old mares tale" it seems the type of story everyone might have heard, but not believed (which also doesn't make much sense, as why would a story about a magical royal pony that can raise the Sun and the Moon not instantly be equated to Celestia?).

I like how Discord teased Applejack about the fair play/no wings thing

jeez, Twilight. Did you see a bug run across the floor or something?

 

[Jintor]

Finally got around to watching the 1080 on Youtube. Amazing stuff! It feels like they stepped up the animation and the camera angles and stuff this time around, even though they were pretty flash hot already.

 

[Jintor]

I found it funny that Rarity mentions that she doesn't want to get wet, yet she gives Twilight her umbrella. Granted, she was wearing full rain repellent gear but still.

Generosity, remember?

It was a pity only a few of the dischord elements were already present though, Dischord basically had to generate Fluttershy's out of magic.

Dash is Loyalty and Fear, Pinkie is Laughter and Wrath, Rarity gets Generosity and Aravice, Applejack is Honesty and... uh... white lies I guess? Fluttershy gets Kindness but had meanness forced upon her.

Twilight doesn't get a dischord element just yet!

Upper poster keeps pulling Dash's tail.

cant unsee when applejacks hair switches sides in that gif.

 

[BY2K]

Someone add a "Emotional Crit" above Twilight when Flutterbitch slaps her.

 

[DrForester]

Hope they solve the problem fast next episode. Mean Fluttershy is sad to see ]

Every time I come into this thread listening to music this gif is synced up perfectly with it.

I like how Discord teased Applejack about the fair play/no wings thing

Something I saw pointed out on another site is that in the stain glass part where Discord says he doesn't turn ponies into stone, he knocks on the picture of Fluttershy who was almost turned to stone by the cockatrice.
I wonder if these are just continuity nods or whether Discord has been keeping an eye on things in season 1.

Idea by Cad.

Tail Whip is a status move it cannot be super effective.

 

[Master Milk]

Hmm, so could Discord make them all Unicorn/Pegasus hybrids like Luna and Celestia? >_>

 

[Confused101]

He knows all about them and the element they represent so I'm inclined to believe that he's been keeping an eye on things all along.

That's what I thought as I was watching it. If there were ever an MLP movie this is how it would look.

One thing that got me curious about the future episode, or any future episode for that matter... (I'll spoiler for those that care about)

Spoiler

I believe this image was released with other images from season 2. It shows Rainbow Dash without wings, but gets em' back at the end of episode. Also shows Fluttershy with wings... I guess it could be an error in the long run, but it does get me curious.

 

[BDGAME]

I love this first episode. When Celestia talk about the past, I remember this:

It was a chaos before the gods!

And that's a really good villain!

That still looks like just something promotional given how offmodel everyone is.

 

[Slamtastic]

I'm pretty sure that picture was around before the series started.

I remember it being posted in the very first thread, maybe along with Pegasus Pie and other really early promotional pieces from before S1.

I'm not completely sure, as it seems kind of hard trying to pin point where exactly the picture was brought up, but I'm pretty sure this was one of the supposed first images of season 2, released shortly after the announced season 2 or something.

I recall because people were worried about it as such, because how the ponies are posed and such, which might lead to mediocre animation or what have you.

I definitely got a Greek mythology vibe from the backstory we got here. Like Zeus overthrowing Kronos and the titans. And I had forgotten before watching that that Zeus only imprisoned the Titans, not killed them.

This is where I first saw it

Still think it's a prerelease season 1 image.
It perfectly mirrors the ending scene in episode 2.

Spike, so disrespectful. Guess dragons don't bow to their pony overlords.

hahahaha

I must admit, it adds a lot of fuel to the caste fancanon drama

 

[Regulus Tera]

1. Status attacks are never super effective, and even if they were...
2. Normal type is not super effective against anything.

Plus you forgot an apostrophe.

Awwww ahoyhoy that gif is my favorite from season 2 so far.

You rock!

Same here. That's pretty much me at the end of the episode. So anxious for EP2 just for that reason.

what does that even mean?

 

[DrForester]

Trek Actors in TNG and on were warned about the fandom. de Lancie was not given the warning about ponies.

[Choppasmith]

HAHA! Awesome! I wonder if he's seen the flood of ST/MLP mashup videos and fanart that have already popped up.

Inb4 Jenga trolling remark.

oh, thought he meant the lines he was given
yeah....

Haha, I kinda expected Discord to take AJ and PP's limbs. =(

Got me with that one, Jintor

 

[Acerac]

I smirked... then I noticed which final destination/fox it was. There is no need to bring such sad subjects in to this thread.

One day I'll get over Brawl. Won't be any time soon, but it'll happen eventually...

I hope.

[Tizoc]

Just watched Ep. 1, I loled at how easy Discord delt with Fluttershy, if anything she would be the easiest for him to deal with.
Can't wait for Ep. 2 ;.;

 

[Boss Doggie]

I think the reason Twilight wasn't trolled by Discord was due to her element being neutral (i.e. Magic)

 

[Confused101]

I wanted the show to do this! It's perfect.
