My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/WMG/Confirmed: Difference between revisions

These guesses turned out to be true. If you have a guess about something else, then

 

 

----

 

* For that matter, given that natural processes such as weather (or ''the sun rising'') simply do not occur without the ponies' intervention, one has to question whether a unicorn would even be capable of getting plants to grow at all.

** Presumably a unicorn or pegasus could grow flowerbeds and small gardens if they live in the vicinity of earth ponies.

** The sub-theory that unicorns and pegasi can't grow anything is pretty much confirmed in ''Hearth's Warming Eve''. Pre-Equestrian Unicorns and Pegasi disliked Earth Ponies, but were dependent on them for food. This must mean that only Earth Ponies are capable of growing food at all. Without them, there would be no crops, and Equestria would starve. This is further hinted at by the fact that many Earth ponies have food-based names (the Cake family, the Apple family, Pinkie ''Pie'', Golden Harvest, etc.)

** The sub-theory wasn't confirmed. The other tribes didn't care for earth ponies, but their attitudes made it clear that they would rather somepony else grow their food than do it themselves<ref>Given that the pegasi seemed to only live in clouds, they didn't really even have the option of trying.</ref>. Their poor opinion of the earth ponies seem to revolve more around their lack of impressive flashy abilities, and the unicorns and pegasi also hated each other, so they were hardly being singled out. The episode actually kind of implied the opposite, because the territory that became Equestria had plants and weather without earth ponies or pegasi. Unless pegasi and unicorns have some magic attribute that prevents plant growth around them, which seems unlikely, they should be able to grow plants as well as anyone without [[Green Thumb|magical cultivation powers]].

* Confirmed, effectively. All the trouble in the episode was about the girls trying to force their high expectations of the Gala onto the rather dull reality, with predictable (and amusing) results. And sure enough, there's a lot of fans complaining the episode didn't meet ''their'' expectations.

 

Discord's unleashing chaos on Equestria will do what happened to the Mane Cast to ''everyone'', leaving Twilight, possibly out of [[Cruel Mercy]], all alone with everyone she knows and cares about a twisted inversion of their true selves, even Spike. This would likely be one of the biggest [[Tear Jerker|Tear Jerkers]] imaginable but also lead to an epic [[Back From the Brink]] moment.

* This did happen sadly.

== In the season 2 premier the elements of harmony will be striped from the six ==

Causing them to find the secondary elements they represent

* Rarity: Magic- As the only other unicorn she has to be

** Doubtful on ALL of these, for the following reasons:

*** Twilight's special talent, what earned her a cutie mark, what's she destined to do her ENTIRE LIFE, is magic. She knows more about it than anypony and is one of the few ponies that can do all types of magic. Rarity's magic skills are nowhere near Twlight's. There's no element, not even honesty, that fits her better.

** I can totally see this happening now. For various reasons, the mane cast and the CMC all decide to take part in a stage show on Halloween. The plot of the play either closely resembles, or is, the plot of The Story of the Blanks. That way, they could make it as creepy as the game without upsetting the censors. I would totally write a fanfic on this if I was any good at writing fanfictions. In fact, I may do so anyway.

** "And then, Applejack was a zombie."

"But I wanted to be a Zombie next year!"

== Before the end of Season 2, Princess Luna will do a [[Triumphant Reprise|Triumphant]] [[Call Back]] of Nightmare Moon's surprise appearance ==

* '''Confirmed! NOW THE FUN HAS BEEN DOUBLED!!!'''

 

Most likely a monster and/or villain.

* Spike's could count.

* Star Swirl the Bearded got referenced in a later episode, though that might've been more of a [[Call Back]].

* A little filly mentioned wanting to be a zombie next year. [[Story of the Blanks|You don't think...]]?

 

== There will be episodes where Twilight is not present. ==

* I was correct, she didn't appear in ''Sisterhooves Social''.

 

* Does Discord's [[Break the Cutie|cutie-breaking]] and [[Mind Rape|mind-raping]] count as at least partially confirmed for this one?

* I'd say it does.

* Of course, if you consider that "Return to Harmony" was originally scheduled as Season 1 episodes, and that "Lesson Zero" is the true first episode of Season 2... well, this is still pretty much spot on.

 

Zecora is the one they go to when they need to deal with an unusual disease or some other weird phenomena. It seems appropriate that she could offer help with Apple Bloom's cutie pox.

* Confirmed. A trip to Zecora's was what started the mess, and Zecora's help is what ended it.

* The images are from the first episode, and for whatever reason Twilight is reading up on the Elements of Harmony again (Jossed).

** They're most likely from the sixth episode, since their filenames start with "MLP206" (Confirmed).

 

== "The Cutie Pox" will end with all the marks disappearing... ==

* Partially confirmed, but unfortunately, none remained.

 

Where Rarity chooses her friends, but still manages to forward her business in some fashion.

* Combined with the above theory, perhaps she puts Diamond Tiara in her place, and the relative is actually impressed with how she handles her.

 

== There will be an episode featuring the Friendship Express Train. ==

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN4sZcUMuss Possibly confirmed].

* And now "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" is a whole episode taking place on the train.

 

* Confirmed as of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P985oULdfWs preview clip] provided. The play itself serves as the vehicle for the flashback, however.

 

* Not unlike the story of the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth's Rock (but with horse-related puns)

* Not unlike the story of King Arthur, and his founding of England

* Similar to the story of one of the G1 movies (most likely, ''[[The Movie]]'')

* Something completely different

** Appears to be true, judging by the [http://press.discovery.com/us/hub/press-releases/2011/jingle-all-way-christmas-hub-tv-networks-spec-1638/ new synopsis].

** Now almost certainly true, judging by a [http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/12/my-little-pony-holiday-episode/ preview clip].

** Appears to be true, judging by the [http://press.discovery.com/us/hub/press-releases/2011/jingle-all-way-christmas-hub-tv-networks-spec-1638/ new synopsis].

 

* Literally true, in the sense that the magic of friendship that defeats the Wendigos and thaws the land is represented by a heart-shaped fire, literally "heart warming". In the larger sense of the show, being able to maintain that heartwarming appears to be necessary to keep the Windigos at bay.

 

"Whatever you do, don't...

* eat at the new Mexican restaurant opening on Tuesday! A chili pepper landed in my eye and gah it just went downhill from there!"

* eat the apple pie. It won't end well.

* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy|travel through time!"]]

* Tornado actually, but since it was used to suck up water, it could be a hurricane anyway...

 

* And maybe there might be a reference to the Cereal's, Seth's and Phoe's OC ponies.

** The expanded synopsis has confirmed that the gossip column is in a newspaper (specifically, a school newspaper) but no word on what the newspaper is called.

*** And now a [[The Hub|Hub]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwstZ0OIj_I commercial] has come out, clearly showing the paper's title as three short words (with the first word appearing to be "Foal"). Not 100% [[Jossed]] yet, but just about.

*** A new [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCWLeMNlV6E clip] from the aforementioned game confirms that the paper is called the ''Foal Free Press'', so that half of the guess is now [[Jossed]].

 

[[Foreshadowing|The newspaper's picture of Celestia with cake is an ad for the contest in the next episode.]]

 

* ..... [[Kamen Rider Decade|It's Decade's Fault!]]

* ..... Celestia! (And possibly a deliberate foreshadowing based on her candid photo in "Ponyville Confidential" of wolfing down cake)

* ..... [[Scooby Doo|Joe]] [[Johnny Bravo|Barbera]]!

* ..... Princess Cadence!

* ..... Winona!

* ..... [[Superman|Lex]] [[And That's Terrible|Luthor]]!

* ..... [[Your Mum]]!

* ..... The moose! It's always the one you'd least suspect.

* ..... [[I Am Spartacus|Me! I ate the cake!]]

* ..... Pinkie Pie!

** Not in newspapers, but the third person on the cast list of the show's own credits ''is'' Fluttershy (and Pinkie Pie)'s voice [[Andrea Libman]].

 

Pony Joe, who appears in [http://www.hasbro.com/common/assets/Flash/Puzzle/dad2af6e1c4311ddbd0b0800200c9a66/8c641b185056900b109f50d776462357/images/bg_mlp_puzzle_bg_28.jpg a screenshot almost certainly from this episode], has something to do with the donut cake.

 

== Celestia's nephew is real. ==

Although most fans have dismissed Rarity's dream stallion hunk as a fantasy brought on by reading too many tabloids, there is strong evidence he does indeed exist. His cutie mark (in Rarity's fantasy) is an eight-pointed star. The astronomical model of Equestria's planetary system in the courtyard at Canterlot shows the planet in the center, with sun, moon, and a few other objects around it, including a spiky thing with a ball and some curvy lines. It looks like a comet with a star attached to it for some reason; the star is seven-pointed, but has an almost identical shape to the nephew's cutie mark.

 

== Discord is... ==

* Celestia's first "most faithful student"(Not confirmed or jossed, needs to be moved to a third page)

* [[Big Bad]] minion

** We have a winner! First look at [http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/09/my-little-pony-season-two-clip/ Discord].

** And the official name of his species is "[http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2203256913 Draconequus]."

* An [[Eldritch Abomination]] (Not confirmed or jossed PER SE, needs to be moved to a third page)

* A literal [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of Discord. He's refered to as "the spirit of Disharmony".

* Makes sense. Given that it seems normal ponies age, she probably [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|can't sustain true friendship]] with [[Mayfly-December Romance|people she knows she will have to watch grow old and die]]. Even if she can, it's likely the emotional trauma of having to banish and imprison her own sister, or the mystic symbolism of the act itself - let's face it: regardless of how good your reasons are, banishing and imprisoning your own sister is one of the harshest, coldest things you could do - has robbed her of either the required magical ability, personal fortitude or both.

* Really, I think it was because she used them for the wrong purpose. The Elements of Harmony are meant to help two ponies understand each other and get feelings of friendship through. When that didn't work, Celestia drained their energy to give her the power to seal Nightmare Moon into the moon. However, since they were used incorrectly, they became powerless until the [[Secret Test of Character]] at the Everfree forest brought forth ponies who represented the elements to properly recharge them. Now used for their proper purpose, they have regained their potency.

** Alternatively, Celestia ''couldn't'' use the Elements of Harmony to restore Luna, because Luna turned into Nightmare Moon because she was rejected by her subjects, not by her sister. As such, only her subjects, in the person (pony?) of Twilight and her friends, could bring her back.

* Confirmed in the Return of Harmony. The same is true for Luna.

* Discord will suffer a [[Villainous Breakdown]] and go [[One-Winged Angel]] before being defeated.

 

Let's see, the Elements Of Harmony have already been used to homage the Rainbow Of Light ''once'' and Discord is a [[Complete Monster]] like old Tirek and wields the polar opposite of the thing needed to defeat him. Why not go all out and make a full homage? Perhaps with Discord doing something simular to Tirek's Rainbow Of Darkness and it clashing with the Elements Of Harmony. This will surely invoke a [[Squee]] reaction from older fans if it happens. Doesn't have to ''kill'' him, but it'd still be awesome.

* Not sure if this counted or not, but he did taste a rainbow.

 

== Discord didn't corrupt Twilight as revenge on Celestia ==

== Discord chose not to [[Mind Rape]] Twilight on purpose ==

Although the game has ended, he wants to see Twilight break on her own now that they have lost and her friends are no longer who they once were. Remember that the subtitle of the series is ''Friendship is '''Magic'''''.

** He didn't need to do anything but corrupt the other 5, but he ended up breaking her spirit anyway.

 

Right now, my guess is that it's Derpy. I do remember hearing that Derpy would have scripted scenes and that she would be considered a "Where's Waldo"-type challenge. Maybe all the characters, even the minor background and one-shot characters, will show up at one point during the episode and but we'll never see Derpy till the end when she's revealed.

* Derpy can't be the Mysterious Mare. Derpy has googly eyes. The Mysterious Mare wears a mask. How could she see with googly eyes under a mask? There is no way mild-mannered mailmare Derpy Hooves could be the Mysterious Mare.

** {{spoiler|Jossed---}}

* Alternatively, its Spitfire or another Wonderbolt secretly testing Rainbow Dash for whatever reason.

* [[Just for Pun|Mayor mare!]]

** {{spoiler|Jossed---}}

** {{spoiler|Jossed---}}

* Rainbow Dash as part of the most elaborate prank ever.

* Two or more mares in identical disguises, seemingly performing [[Offscreen Teleportation]].

** Also {{spoiler|Confirmed}}!

** So, {{spoiler|2 out of 11}}? Not bad, I guess.

 

* Ah, no. After what happened at the Gala, she'd rather choose a bowl of prunes than Blueblood.

** He might, at least, make an appearance. Maybe a swift gag or something.

*** Confirmed. He makes a couple cameos during Rarity's song.

 

'Cause, you know, it's about her making an important decision related to her friends.

* Confirmed, though she ends up telling it directly to Celestia rather than writing it.

* More or less happened with "Secret of My Excess".

 

Why? Um... Discord?

* Might be regular growing pains and/or a part of dragon puberty.

== Equestria is a lot older than Celestia's reign. ==

Celestia and Luna used the Elements of Harmony to make themselves into [[Physical God|Physical Godesses]] and were both granted the title of princess. Along the way, there was a disagreement; Luna tried to put herself above Celestia. There was a bitter war over who would rule. In the end, Celestia won and Luna was banished to the moon, where she began forming herself into Nightmare Moon.

** Maybe not though. Under Discord's reign, there may have been so much chaos that the whole notion of the coherent passage of time may have been out the window. We saw Applejack uneat an apple, and the sun and moon rise and set in very rapid succession, you may recall. Perhaps as Discord's hold on reality progressed, time would have become more and more random, flowing at different rates and directions for different ponies. Discord's reign may have been a state of primeval chaos in which time was not a meaningful concept. In that case, it is impossible to say that anything is older than Celestia's reign, as that may have been the beginning of time.

* "Hearth Warming Eve" pretty much confirms that the three pony tribes discovered and settled Equestria before the two sisters took the reins (no pun intended).

 

There's really only two ways this can work out, either she turns out to have a ''very'' awesome past that Applebloom will be shocked about or...

* Confirmed in that Granny, on her own, discovered the means of harvesting Zap Apples and making Zap Apple Jam just right, and...

 

The aesop, of course being that even if someone doesn't have some impressive or awesome background, they can still be important in ways you don't expect.

* Confirmed as well, given that Granny's family at the time was the reason why Ponyville was founded.

 

* Confirmed, though a bit farther back than that.

 

** Not stated to be their first words, though.

 

If you pay attention to the dialogue in the clip, they discuss about {{spoiler|Applejack leaving the farm}}.

* Pretty much confirmed

* However, the original WMG is confirmed, (though YMMV), they definitely crossed the line by rubbing their victory, and the loss of the Apple Family's livelihood, in the Apple Family's faces. If AJ hadn't held her back, Rainbow would've kicked their flanks for it.

 

Bonus points if Mr. Ermey actually does the voice. He's worked on kids' shows before.

* Well, he's certainly a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]].

Either [[Book Ends|at the end of the episode]], or in a later one.

 

Just throwing it out there.

* Both dragons did appear to appear in the episode.

 

 

== One of the hurtful stories involves Fluttershy ==

* Yes. The story is that she has [[What Do Yo Mean Its Not Heinous|''Tail extensions'']].

 

 

== Season 2 will have an episode in which: ==

* They actually did an episode very similar to this in the 80's series.

* Alternatively, maybe his dragon parents aren't that bad at all, but even then, Spike still misses Twilight.

== There will be a [[Christmas Episode]]. ==

And the Equestrian equivalent of Santa Claus will be a reindeer.

* ''Hearth's Warming Eve''

 

== As an addendum to the above, someone will make a clone of [[Robot Unicorn Attack]]. ==

It'll star Rainbow Dash, with the plot being that Rainbow Dash, wanting to be a more versatile athelete, trains herself to be the best runner in Equestria. Crashing will not end in Rainbow Dash dying, but hospitalized, and it will actually be beatable (but [[Nintendo Hard]]).

 

* Pretty much confirmed.

 

== We're all insane ==

* The ponyless summer drought will do that....

** What must you think now that the nine folders of WMGs have become several separate ''pages'' in their own right...

*** That this guess is confirmed, that's what! Its OK though, I still love all our crazy Brony Tropers.

* Don't forget the bronies harrassing [[Sister Claire|Yamino]] for not liking Derpy's voice and her [[Fan Nickname]] made canon.

** The line between Genius and Madness is only separated by degrees of success. Perhaps we're all geniuses?

 

** Invert that, and you technically have what part of the plot is about.

* Cadance is Discord.

* She isn't actually Celestia's niece, and comes from a far-off land.

* Cadance was the one who allowed Discord to take over Equestria in ancient times, however, that's only ''half'' the story, the other half is she's the princess from the Hearts And Hooves Day story and only gave it over to him due to being under the influence of the Love Poison, being too in love with her prince to realize what she was doing. Celestia hid this fact from the public to protect her niece, but Cadance [[My Greatest Failure|is wracked with guilt about it.]]

In the trailer, we can see Celestia and Shining clearly waiting for the bride. Somepony of equal importance has to walk Cadance to the altar.

* {{spoiler|Jossed. Cadance walks down the aisle alone}}.

 

== Princess Cadance will have been kidnapped en route to the wedding and been replaced with an impostor. ==

 

== Twilight dislikes Cadance. ==

* She did, since it wasn't the real Cadance!

 

== Twilight's solo song will be in this episode. ==

And it will be about her relationship with her brother. [[Brother-Sister Incest|(No, not like THAT!)]]

** Confirmed!

 

== And the catcher of the bouquet is... ==

Cheerilee, who smiles nervously at Big Mac {{spoiler|Before Rarity yanks it out of her hooves.}}

 

== If anypony objects to this union, [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace]]... ==

Look, this is a two-parter season finale about a huge wedding that goes off the rails. It's not a question of whether the line will appear. It's a question of how.

** One or all of the Mane 6.

*** Seems like it was Twilight herself, and also...

** Princess Luna.

** Derpy.

** A new villain.

** Trixie.

** Either one of the wedding duo

** a [[Canon Immigrant]]

** someone none saw coming.

*** The ''Real'' Cadance!

* Half? Try most. Many guesses end up being far darker then what is shown eventually.

 

* Said extended version has now been released as a music video [http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_US/media/browse.cfm?type=videos on Hasbro's website], but it could still be used for a sing-along.

** And now Hasbro has taken it down from their site. Perhaps it will be included on a DVD and they want it to be exclusive to that.
