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

Guesses about the show's production and crossover mass guesses. If you have a guess about something else, then

 

 

{{quote|and you can still go back to the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/WMG|Main WMG Page, here]]}}

** [[Kamen Rider Den-O|Kenjiro Ishimaru and Rina Akiyama]] as Mr and Mrs Cake

** Twilight and Princess Celestia use Keigo speech patterns, Rainbow Dash is the [[Bokukko]], Applejack (and by extension all her relatives) and Snails gets the Kansai dialect

*** And [[Norio Wakamoto]] as Flutterguy.

**** Flutterguy's a [[Large Ham|non-hammy]] singing role so [[Isao Sasaki]] or Ichirou Mizuki would work better - Norio Wakamoto would get a string of one-shots for maximum airtime, like Hoity Toity, the Dragonshy dragon, 'Steven Magnet', '''DISCORD''', Fancy Pants, ''the Windigos'', Ahuizotl, "Barking Mad", Gustav le Grand.

*** Don't. Seriously, just don't.

* Evil Rainbow Dash will be the Fanatic, an emotionless, stoic, violent enforcer of Applejack's dictatorship prone to [[The Berserker|bouts of uncontrollable]] yet [[Tranquil Fury|emotionally blank fits of rage]] over the slightest insult against any of her "friends."

* Evil Fluttershy will be [[Evil Matriarch|the Matriarch]], a seemingly gentle being who regularly abuses all the animals and foals in her care on an emotional and psychological manner, often times using tactics that will drain out any freewill and individual thought to the point where the victims become incurably dependent upon her. She is the one who make the citizens and animals of Ponyville unwaveringly loyal to Applejack's corporation.

* Evil Twilight Sparkle will be [[The Evil Genius|the Schemer]], the one who is the main brains behind Applejack's monopoly and the one of runs all the logistics and details, both legitimate and criminal, running the year's quarterly reports while simultaneously ordering different contract hits without missing a beat. In her freetime she is diligently plotting the downfall of Princess Celestia herself and stealing her powers, making Applejack's company the sole power in Equestria and essentially dominate the planet. Also instead of taking care of her Spike, she uses him merely as a weapon of mass destruction.

 

== Counterpart to the above--we've seen the start of a team of [[Psycho Rangers]] ponies and non-ponies. ==

* Diamond dogs for Rarity

By this reasoning, the other Psycho Ranger ponies/non-ponies will have each pony's talents and abilities, perhaps even greater than their corresponding pony, but not their virtues and good qualities. Counter-Rarity would be fashion-obsessed and highly judgmental/classist, counter-Pinkie exhaustingly or disruptively party-oriented or with a very mean sense of humor, counter-Applejack strong and durable but Andrew-Ryan-level disinterested in charity or helping others without ample compensation, and counter-Fluttershy extremely good with animals but utterly misanthropic.

It's been semi-confirmed that Lauren Faust has been to the /co/ board of 4chan. It's common knowledge that she does read (and often reply to) the comments left by the series' fans (and her fans) on her [[Deviant ART]] page. And yes, I know she has stepped down from her previous position as Executive Producer (I think she's Consulting Producer now...) It will be interesting to see how many references to the fandom, its memes and its [[Fanon]] will be in the second season...

 

There were four stars that moved closer to the moon, then they slid behind it and the Nightmare Moon design disappeared.

* Although there are lots of jokes by fans and [[Robot Chicken|other sources]], my guess is that, given the show's original [[Magical Girl|magical girl show]] premise, they really are a part of the program's story.

Possibly multiple someones, posting under multiple aliases. Take a look at these examples...

 

* Cupcakes - Someone working on the show knew about ''Party of One'', and wrote an over the top gruesome fanfic involving Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash as part of a grand [[Batman Gambit]] to make that party scene all the more uncomfortable for fans to watch.

* The Party Hasn't Ended - A Pinkie/Dash shipping fanfic that was finished and uploaded before "Cutie Mark Chronicles" whose climax involves {{spoiler|[[It Makes Sense in Context|Rainbow Dash using a Sonic Rainboom to clear away a bunch of dark clouds]]}}. Not only does this happen in "Chronicles", its what started the party in Pinkie Pie!

* I don't know. Remember the backlash Harry Potter got for the magical elements? Or Teletubbies, for the "Tinky Winky is gay" bullshit? The world of MLP is full of magic, it's ruled over by a matriarchal Goddess figure, and one of the mane cast is a tomboy with a rainbow mane. I can easily see Fundamentalists decrying the show as the work of the devil, meant to indoctrinate children in New Age ideology and the militant homosexual agenda. Or whatever.

** Though you could also see the show as perpetually exalting the girls' [[Religion of Evil|submission to the will of the all-knowing Celestia]], and preferring [[Belief Makes You Stupid|miracles and magic over science]]. I bet with a little work and [[Insane Troll Logic|thought]] one could 'prove' the show endorses Bible-banging fundamentalism or any other philosophy you personally happen to dislike.

 

== Yet Another Alternately, Lauren Faust made a [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|CONTRACT with Kyubey]] of all beings. ==

* Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom DID cause something extraordinary to happen, but it was not in any way related to the other fillies' cutie marks, nor would it have done anything different if she hadn't done it.

* The whole episode was a hallucination Pinkie Pie had after overdosing on sweets. She'd wake up the next morning with a sugar hangover (Don't ask how that's possible, either) and nothing more about it.

* The Stories are completely true, only distorted by the fact that they don't have photographic memories.

** Or [[The Big Bang Theory|eidetic memories]], for that matter.

== [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]] will voice on the show at some point. ==

Possibly even as enemy ponies.

* Frank Welker eventually appearing in ''any'' animated production is close to certainty in itself.

 

 

== The popularity of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' will motivate Hasbro to renew the copyrights on the G1 ponies... ==

 

== Discord is the cause of animation errors in the show ==

* Discord is [[A Wizard Did It|the wizard that did it]].

 

* Originally, there was never supposed to be a Season 2. Hasbro was going to collect the series onto a DVD, and "The Return of Harmony" was going to be the bonus material.

* [[Lauren Faust]], like everyone else, was surprised by the popularity of the program, and had already made plans to move on to other projects before the bronies appeared on the radar. She didn't leave the show at a whim; she had already signed contracts and now has other obligations she's required to fulfill.

== This series will spawn a movie. ==

It will probably be direct-to-DVD, but there will at some point be a full-length movie that will be made for this series. Perhaps several.

 

== Later seasons will have more Sondheim Shout Out songs. ==

* They could possibly be making a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the old UK story tape that included the famous "Who's a Silly Pony" song.

* [http://www.facebook.com/dannyimusic/posts/257320954315484 Daniel Ingram has implied that the song will be in an episode], but it may still be included on a soundtrack album, if one is ever released.

 

== One of the upcoming [[Shout Factory]] DVDs will include a full-length Equestria Girls music video. ==

 

== The characters' moments of temporary insanity have a covert educational purpose. ==

 

== The alleged [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] were intentional. ==

== [[Futurama|Equestria is a real place, and Lauren Faust goes there to plagiarize events and ponies' lives into episode scripts.]] ==

 

Twilight's [[Sanity Slippage]] would have been so severe that she'd be too far gone by the end of the episode and put in an insane asylum. Her friends, in her honor, vow to carry on her friendship research. The season finale would have a case of [[The Bus Came Back]], in that Twilight would somehow escape and her friends would've had to battle her. Eventually, she'll discover her friends' friendship reports, finally come to her senses, and have a tragic [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment. She gives a heartfelt apology to everypony and promises to try to work on her neuroses.

 

 

== Rarity is a Time Lord. ==

 

== Everybody is a Timelord in Purgatory. ==

Well, to be more specific... Discord is the Master to Doctor Whooves'... Doctor. Ties in nicely with the Doctor theory above that he battled Discord in the past. How? Discord is the Master, who picked up a few tips from Q and some others, and those tips he took are what changed him into the [[Mix and Match Critter]] that he is, voice included. He accepted this as the perfect guise to hide from the Doctor under, since he would not expect it.

 

The combined Elements of Harmony are the TARDIS. Both are well over one thousand years old, and Celestia looks quite different compared to her original apppearance from the story Twilight first reads in the pilot. The reason for this is by using the Elements all by herself, Celestia had taken on more power than her body could handle, forcing a Regeneration. Her influence on the timeline is much more indirect once Twilight and company come along, preferring to direct them through her various letters. Until then, she began all the legends of Nightmare Moon, purposely including the story that she would return in 1000 years. After that, all she had to do was wait.

 

This had the unintended effect of turning Rory into a brony much to Amy's confusion.

 

They're obviously native to the planet Gallopfrey, located right in the same universe as Equestria and possibly even orbiting a star visible in the latter's night sky. There is even a specific Time Pony whose (mis)adventures bear a more than passing resemblance to those familiar to us from assorted BBC documentaries...but he's not the same ''individual'' as the humanoid Doctor we know, and the two could conceivably run into each other without having to invoke [[Time Travel]] to do so.

 

== Someone will make a [[Dissidia Final Fantasy]] crossover with this show. ==

If only due to connecting the Elements of Harmony with Cosmos. That, and the show's and games this show is combined with tend to have a rather actiony feel to them.

* {{spoiler|This is halfway to canon, what with Season 2's opening villain being Discord (aka Chaos).}}

 

At some point, Pinkie Pie will appear and sing a song for Charlie, before exploding for no apparent reason. (What if she explodes... and then explodes again?!)

* Can you do that? Can you explode twice?

* If the producers manage to get the original voices for the three, that would be ''beyond'' awesome! Even if it's just a cameo, it still would be pretty awesome.

* The three unicorns don't necessarily "live" within the setting. You see, Charlie thinks he died long ago, and those two are his eternal punishment. Perhaps he was a supporter of Nightmare Moon during her rebellion?

 

They breed explosively, eat everything in sight, and have no origin story. In addition, they are insectile, with four legs and a set of wings, maintaining the 'six legs each' theme of Tyranids. Clearly, Equestria has been seeded by the Tyranids, and the Parasprites are an adapted version of Rippers, meant to devour plant life to make the invasion swifter and to claim new biomass.

 

* Said demographic will be depicted either as

** a) Pathetic sexually repressed manchildren ([[Golden Mean Fallacy|who nevertheless have a point of some sort]]) -- if the creators haven't watched this show, or

** Or Randy will be a HUGE fan because he's Randy, and possibly Butters, (or, just to be completely insane, Cartman turns out to be a fan!), and everyone will look at him funny. I'm actually surprised SP hasn't made fun of the Brony Phenomenon already, honestly.

** And it will ''ne''ver ''air'' in Jap''an!''

 

== [[The Slender Man Mythos|Somewhere, somehow, the Slenderpony exists]] ==

 

== The small, but growing amount of [[The Slender Man Mythos|Slender Mane]] fanart out there can be at least partially attributed to the Slender Man references on this page. ==

* Pinkie Pie is Tyrion Lannister. Very pleasure-oriented, somewhat opportunistic, but always caring for her friends.

* Rainbow Dash is Viserys Targaryen. The type of person for which career ambition is a matter of life and death. ( {{spoiler|In case of Viserys, quite literally.}})

* Applejack is John Snow. Honest and hard-working, virtually married to their job.

* Fluttershy is Catelyn Tully-Stark. The type that deeply cares for the beings she loves and does everything to protect them.

Why this way around and not the other? Because Touhou characters tend to have a very vague origin which allows us fans to shape them as we please.

 

Specifically, Tzeentch. He's certainly enough of a [[Manipulative Bastard]].

* It's more likely that he's a Lord of Change, a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch. Of course, that leads to MANY implications. The episode said that Luna and Celestia freed Equestria from his rule using the Elements of Harmony, so Discord must have created Equestria. And all the Equestrians are horses/eagles/etc, [[Fridge Horror|mutated by the power of the Warp]]. Which brings us to another question: What are Luna and Celestia then, and why did they oppose this Greater Daemon, or even get the power to bring order to this planet overrun by Chaos?

** Lost Primarchs? Or perhaps Old Ones :P

 

== Discord is a member of the Q Continuum who was assigned the task of testing ponykind. ==

Now, the Dragonborn wouldn’t be nearly as useful in her role of helping to maintain the Pony/Dragon Peace Pact if she didn’t occasionally express her powers, so Celestia is keeping Fluttershy, and most ponies, in the dark about the whole arrangement for now.

 

 

== Obligatory ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' theory ==

 

== "The Elements of Harmony" is Equestria's equivalent of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|the Avatar Spirit.]] ==

 

== Discord is [[Team Fortress 2|The Pyro's]] true form. ==

 

== The series is [[All Just a Dream]] of an autistic Smarty Pants ==

 

== This page will eventually have a ridiculously dark interpretation of the show's premise. ==

There's some pointlessly depressing stuff here now, but I want to hear about how the show must actually be the [[Dying Dream]] of a terminally ill child rape victim. Get to it, people!

* Here's a go: The entire series is a [[Dying Dream]] by Nightmare Moon as the Elements of Harmony tear her apart. In her dream she is redeemed instead, and the ponies go on to have wonderful adventures building their friendship and thinking their way out of problems. In truth she is obliterated, and the ponies go on to be lovable, friendly [[Heroic Sociopath]] types instead.

** I'm pretty sure you mean the ''Luna'' Heresy.

*** No, it fits better for Celestia's brightest student to turn against her.

* [[Cthulhu Mythos|"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh N'ghtm're M'n Luna wgah'nagl fhtagn"]]

** Dude, clear your throat. Seriously.

* Celestia is a dictator, drugging everyone with hallucinogenics making them think they live in a dream world and they're ponies (because seriously, do you really think ponies can read and write?) and having happy adventures, while she oppresses everyone in their ignorance. "Nightmare Moon" was actually a leader of [[La Résistance]], but "Twilight Sparkle" was tricked into bringing her in to be drugged. Or she was actually executed, while Celestia told everyone she had been integrated into society. That's why we never see Luna again

* You want depressing? I'll give you depressing! Back in "A Dog and Pony Show", rather than put up with Rarity's annoyances, the Diamond Dogs just killed her. The reason she appears to still be alive in the rest of the series is because when Spike saw her body, he rejected the reality of her being dead and began having another fantasy sequence about Rarity being freed and living a normal life in Ponyville. Every episode since then has all been in his imagination while in reality he is in a catatonic state and none of the other ponies can wake him up.

** What if they already wrote a fanfic?

 

* Pony version of [[Chzo Mythos|Tall Man]]

* Pony version of [[Silence of the Lambs|Hannibal Lecter]]

== All the characters are inspired by the characters in [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]] ==
