Line 60:
** [[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
** In light of the common practice of [[Suddenly Voiced]] characters in foreign dubs, [[Hilarious in Hindsight|Lyra Heartstrings, Derpy]] and the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well gets voiced by [[Aya Hirano]],<ref>Switching to her mature-woman voice for MDW, while Twilight gets her Haruhi voice</ref>, [[Rica Matsumoto]] as Featherweight, [[Norio Wakamoto]] as [[The Big Lebowski|Horsus Quintana]] and {{spoiler|grown-form Spike}} from "Secret of My Excess".
** Pet names are used in-show thanks to the lengthy results of turning everything into ''hiragana'' (an inversion of [[Fan Nickname|Fan Nicknames]]s), including Supaaku-chan (Twilight Sparkle), Supaii-kun (Spike), and Furafura (Fluttershy). Pinkie Pie winds up going by Pinkii-chan since {{spoiler|[[Unfortunate Names|Pie can be construed as coming from 'oppai', meaning breasts]].}}
*** 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.
Line 86:
*** 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."
** Alternately she could stay similar to the original [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Rainbow ]][[Hot-Blooded|Dash]], being a showoff and showing she can do her work faster than anyone, her work being [[Ax Crazy|brutally eliminating any opposition]] to Applejack's Regime, however she still being competitive, so she gives their victims/objetives a few time to escape before [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game|she starts her game]], and if they decide to stay and fight...well...[[Blood Knight|she happily accepts the challenge]].
* 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.
Line 95:
 
== Counterpart to the above--we've seen the start of a team of [[Psycho Rangers]] ponies and non-ponies. ==
So far, The Great and Powerful Trixie and Gilda are basically evil versions of Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash--TrixieDash—Trixie having Twilight's talent but lack of humility and willingness/eagerness to study, Gilda having Rainbow Dash's athleticism and skill with none of her loyalty. As more episodes roll along, evil/jackass counterparts of the mane six will show up, first as [[Long-Lost Uncle Aesop]] or [[Monster of the Aesop]] characters, and later acting in concert for whatever obscure reason.
* 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.
Line 235:
* 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.
* Also possible the show's not been around long enough to gauge what its biggest effect on humanity really is. In five years will it be remembered for the [[Aesop|Aesops]]s it [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle|taught us about friendship]], or for spawning NSFW fan art and [[Cupcakes]]? The road to hell is paved with good intentions...
 
== Yet Another Alternately, Lauren Faust made a [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|CONTRACT with Kyubey]] of all beings. ==
Line 271:
* 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.
* This episode will ultimately be this series' [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode]]. And if not, some of the actual stories will wind up being [[BLAMNon Sequitur Episode|BLAM SUB-Episodes]], most likely Pinkie Pie's.
* 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.
Line 281:
== [[Peter Cullen]] and [[Frank Welker]] will voice on the show at some point. ==
Possibly even as enemy ponies.
* [[Peter Cullen]] voiced the Crabnasty Captain in ''[[My Little Pony]] n' Friends'' who was red & blue like his most famous role, helped save the day and got a [[Smooch of Victory]] from Posey, Fluttershy's predecessor,<ref>...I smell crossover shipping!</ref>, and [[Frank Welker]] voiced some minor characters in the 80's movie. It is certainly in the realm of possibility!
* Frank Welker eventually appearing in ''any'' animated production is close to certainty in itself.
 
Line 420:
 
== The characters' moments of temporary insanity have a covert educational purpose. ==
It's intended to make it easier for preteens to talk about mental illness. Because of the nature of the show, a full-scale [[Very Special Episode]] of "what to do if a friend or family member goes crazy" would be [[Narm|Narmful]]ful at best, and the writers are probably more interested in making the characters interesting than in clinical accuracy in any case. However, the cast's various moments of [[Sanity Slippage]], while not accurate portrayals of any specific disorder, do show that mental health issues aren't restricted to [[Talkative Loon|Talkative Loons]]s and cartoon supervillains.
 
== The alleged [[SpongeBob SquarePants]] [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] were intentional. ==
Line 502:
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 Princesses are [[Time Lord|Time Lords]]s. ==
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.
 
Line 512:
This had the unintended effect of turning Rory into a brony much to Amy's confusion.
 
== Equestrian 'Time Ponies' are the [[Alternate Universe|Ponyverse's counterpart species]] to the [[Time Lord|Time Lords]]s we are familiar with, but not otherwise biologically or historically related to them. ==
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.
 
Line 563:
* 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
** b) actually perfectly respectable people with good taste, albeit very embarrassed about what they're fans of and trying to hide it, because ''Pooping Pink Ponies'' or whatever the show they will be watching is called is actually mysteriously awesome -- ifawesome—if the creators of ''South Park'' do happen to watch this show first.
** 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!''
Line 683:
* 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.}})
* Rarity is what Sansa Stark should be. Both make dresses, and both are treated badly by their respective [[Lust Object|Lust Objects]]s. Of course, Rarity is a strong character and perfectly able to deal with it while Sansa...not so much.
* 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.
Line 734:
* 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
** Rebellion and usurpation of the throne are hardly unknown among the servants of Chaos. Celestia and Luna overthrew Discord and turned his daemon world into a place where they and their kin could live more comfortably, and by this act, they earned their own apotheosis. This is why the two are princesses, not queens: they're ''daemon'' princesses, ranked in a hierarchy that extends beyond their world. Note that both Celestia and Luna are significantly larger than their subjects, and that Celestia's cutie mark is a sun with eight flares coming off it -- orit—or, in other words, an ''eight-pointed star''.
 
== Discord is a member of the Q Continuum who was assigned the task of testing ponykind. ==
Line 881:
** What if they already wrote a fanfic?
 
== "Krastos the Glue Maker" is (post your ideas): ==
* Pony version of [[Chzo Mythos|Tall Man]]
* Pony version of [[Silence of the Lambs|Hannibal Lecter]]
