The creative team also incorporated each of the characters' personalities into various things, such as Twilight's purple color signifying her royalty and mystical awareness. The ponies travel on adventures and help others around Equestria while working out problems that arise in their own friendships.įaust originally envisioned the characters to be relatable and unique with different personalities and flaws, unlike many other girls' shows. Each of the ponies represent a different facet of friendship, and Twilight discovers herself to be a key part of the magical artifacts known as the "Elements of Harmony". Twilight and her dragon assistant Spike become close friends with five other ponies: Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. Her mentor and royal patron, Princess Celestia, guides her to learn about friendship in the town of Ponyville. She is voiced by Tara Strong while her singing voice is provided by Rebecca Shoichet.īased on the first generation or "G1" unicorn toy Twilight and created by Lauren Faust, in Friendship Is Magic, she is depicted as a studious, bookish anthropomorphic unicorn (later an alicorn). Not to imply that he could have ever been construed as a short-term thinker, but literally sowing seeds that would entrap your enemies in the future, all without their suspicions because they thought you entrapped? Discord might be the smartest villain this show has seen.Princess Twilight Sparkle, commonly known as Twilight Sparkle, is a fictional character who appears in the fourth incarnation (also referred to as the fourth generation or "G4") of Hasbro's My Little Pony toyline and media franchise, beginning with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (2010–2019). Like I mentioned above, even if Discord didn't intend for this situation to actually be a lesson for Twilight, the fact that we now know how long of a game he was playing back then is quite the revelation. "You realize this is information we could have used hours ago?!" Never say you didn't learn something from these followups. The staff at Studio B were computer scientists all along and they never told us. Just to tie the tree and keys joke together, here's an explanation of associative arrays, which can use trees to store the keys to map to arbitrary values. "Six locks, six keys." Six ponies? Sounds like another song reference is in order. I'm sure that whatever's in the locked box at the end of this scene will have something to do with the mane six's continuing evil-fighting abilities, but for now we'll have to see how they deal with not having their rainbow friendship laser. I was only half joking above- we've had the Elements of Harmony in play for an entire three seasons, and now it looks like for the immediate future they're no longer a factor.
It does raise the interesting "what now?" question, though. It's followup time, and it feels so good to be able to say that again. Welcome one, welcome all: show staff (they do read these), community members (the reason we do these at all), and everyone else (how did you get here?). So, once more- looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, but is actually a tiny horse.
They spawned from the original threads on 4chan when the community was nothing but a blip on the internet radar, and are by and large meant to be light-hearted clip shows of things that the writer (in this case, me) thinks are worth pointing out, with occasional heaps of more serious words if we think it's important. They are not meant to be in-depth teardowns and dutiful analysis of the episode, though I'll slip into that if I think the situation warrants it. For now, though, it's time to start the followup.įor those new to an Episode Followup, I'll be clear: these are not reviews. Story arcs aren't something we've seen a lot of in this show, and I'm eager to see how the team handles it. As our reward, we've been gifted by the amazing team at Studio B both an excellent opener for season four, and the conclusion of Twilight Sparkle's ascent into princesshood. Nine months' worth of a hiatus would scatter a lesser community, but I think we've proved a long time ago that we're made of sterner stuff.
