Anyway, Since I shared a Top 10 of Season 1 and Season 2 before. Though I'd give my somewhat personal Top 5 (Because Top 10 out of 13 is a bit much)

1. Magical Mystery Cure
2. Magic Duel
3. Sleepless in Ponyville
4. Wonderbolt Academy
5. Mix between Keep Calm and Flutter On, Crystal Empire, and Too Many Pinkie Pies

Also I'll be doing my episodic comparisons again later. I don't know if any of you are in favor of me posting new ones here again (It'd be in a somewhat different format since I can't do it exactly the same way I did before since Season 3 has only 13 episodes). Though I'll certainly be doing it on Equestria Forums.

I posted this as it's own thread on Equestria forums but I thought I'd paste it word for word here. As a commenter on EqD managed to get a hold of the Crystal Heart book. And apparently it answers quite a bit of questions that have popped up after Magical Mystery Cure and even as far back as Canterlot Wedding



In the 3rd page of the Trixie Tuesday page, a commentor named Richfiles showed that he managed to get a copy of the Crystal Heart book. While we probably expected the book to just be one of those short books with only a few pages and absolutely revealing nothing. It turns out it doesn't. It actually brings up and maybe even answers a few questions we've discussed about Alicorns and also Princess Cadence. For the comment itself go here (If the link doesn't work just jump to the 3rd page and find Richfiles who has a Luna shrug avatar)

First of all though I'd like to mention there's two things that should be disregarded about this book. As there's two things that kinda seem like a mistake but nonetheless shouldn't automatically mean the major information it gives is discredited.

As in the Book Trixie comes back and is still an antagonist. Gilda does as well. And Trixie also treats Twilight like Magic Duel never happened. But it's only a minor part of the book. And also I think Games Ponies Play is also apparently not mentioned because somewhere in the book it said the last time Twilight was here they were there to defeat King Sombra. Most people are saying the author probably wasn't informed of Magic Duel or Games Ponies Play but got extensive information about Magical Mystery Cure and everything. So besides those blunders, the rest of what it reveals is very, very interesting

First I'll put in a spoiler what it said about Alicorns according to this guy's comment.

Alicorns are considered a special breed. Able to harness the power of the magical unicorns, the flight of Pegasi, and the strength of a good, true heart of an Earth pony. Meaning it's confirmed that Alicorns are a mix of the three pony species.

Ponies don't have to be a Unicorn to become an Alicorn.
I repeat
Ponies do not have to be a Unicorn to become an Alicorn

Alicorns treat eachother as a family. Celestia adopted Cadence as a niece after her ascension. But they're not actually blood related. Cadence also calls Twilight her sister in this book. Though they already were sisters-in-law ever since Cadence married Shining Armor of course. So I'm not sure if it's really as significant as Celestia making Cadence her niece.

Now for some actual backstory on Cadence (How long have we wanted to know some of this?!)

CADENCE WAS AN ORPHANED PEGASUS

That's right, we already have an example of a Pony who wasn't a Unicorn before being an Alicorn. If it wasn't stated before, this makes it obvious. And it certainly is intriguing.

Additionally she was found in a forest and adopted by an Earth pony village of some kind.
Cadence used her special talents of love and compassion to reform a brand new villain from the past.
Sometime later Cadence was taken to a "strange place" where she met Celestia and remembers being surrounded by magical energy. Sound familiar?

Lastly, have a few things on Alicorn Twilight

Twilight does have a place in Canterlot specifically for her, but Twilight chooses to remain in Ponyville with her friends. Officially killing the whole "Twilight's going to leave her friends" thoughts.

What Twilight learns at the end of this book? "Now I know that a princess is not defined by the things she chooses for her kingdom. All that matters is how she treats other ponies, especially her friends. Princess or not - we are all equal ponies!" Also shooting down alot of the "She's above her friends now" argument

Now time will tell if anything in Season 4 ends up contradictig this book. But if most if not all of the facts revealed in the book are talked about in Season 4 and it's pretty much exactly the same. I'd be satisfied. I also didn't reveal everything the guy in the comment section said. Just the major ones that answer some big questions that have cropped up since Magical Mystery Cure and even as far back as Canterlot Wedding. But wow, it's certainly interesting what kind of info they put into an official book like this. I am very content with this information. Especially if it's referred to exactly how it is in the book for any references to it in Season 4.
 
That's not really different from before though. The second season started a year and a month after the first premier and the third a year and a half from the second opening.
 
I think later this Spring. Which is soon.

I think that's actually going to be one thing we could both make fun of together Shoey. We could possibly have a joke fest about it from both a Brony and Non-Brony perspective xP
 
tbh the cynic in side of me loves that idea because from where I stand it sounds fucking hilarious to watch something which I assume will be absolutely god awful (and I say that because I can think of no ways where that will be good
the non brony inside of me also find it hilarious because i'm sure the only way it will be entertaining to a non brony is to make fun of it
but the critic inside of me (whose also the realist inside of me) fucking hates this idea with a passion because it represents the terrible shit companies will do to make money
but yes i'm sure we will both take glee from this
 
Trust me, I have no thoughts that this will be any good. It doesn't even sound like it's being done by the same staff other then the animators. That only promises that the animation will probably be decent but everything else. I don't see it being that good.

Leaps of logic like the Main 6 not being teenagers in Friendship is Magic (It's quite obvious they're young adults in FiM), the rumor that Spike is going to be a dog in this, and just the rather odd design of the Humanoid ponies are just not good signs.

From what I see so far, I think this will be the FiM fandom's version of The Last Airbender Live Action movie was for the Avatar fandom.
 
did they ever have a spin off where the characters became humans and a cgi/live action movie?

No, the programming for 3.5 for example was essentially made for little babies. And it showed. Barely anything redeemable about it.

(Quite frankly I haven't actually seen it, but I haven't exactly seen people go like "3.5 Newborn Cuties wasn't THAT bad!")

i'm pretty sure the two things i've listed are worse and only the most devout pony defenders would defend them
 
Well first of all I'm pretty sure a CGI/Live Action movie isn't happening for MLP. At least not anytime soon for that matter. But I don't think this is like Transformers where you can try to fit them into an earth Environment and such.

And Equestria Girls has the potential to be so bad it's good. Like it's definitely bad, but the fallacies of it might be worth watching to see how unintentionally funny it could possibly be. Alot of G3 you can't say the same. Like it's so bland, and insipid you can hardly make fun of it. It speaks for itself.
 
In an FiM, I just want it to be where it goes through different groups of characters. Let's say the main cast are on an adventure, and the CMCs are on their own little Cutie Mark quest.
 
Oh yeah I forgot to mention one thing I have a big beef with the Equestria Girls thing. It's going to be a movie that's 66 minutes long. About as long as if the show had a three-parter. You'd think the first thing they'd give something in the FiM name some sort of epic Adventure. But NOPE they have to have some lame attempt at trying to cash in on Monster High's popularity instead. It's a waste of potential. You have the entire wide world of Equestria for basically endless possibilities to take this, but we get a silly spin-off where the Ponies are semi-anthro human teenagers instead of something that could be truly epic.
