Namo™ Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 [quote name='Shradow' timestamp='1354820416' post='6086895'] You mean an older, male pony has more stamina than the younger, female Twilight? You don't say. I'm not trying to be sexist by that comment, but her stamina is not related to her magical skill. [/quote] Of course it is. If you don't have the stamina to preform a powerful spell then you're not the most powerful unicorn. That's like saying I'm the best football player yet I lack strength to get passed other players to make a touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 You don't necessarily have to make touchdowns to be the best football player. To put things simply, unicorns are sort of a "master of one" that pertains to their skill. While Twilight's magic is a "jack of all trades, master of all".

Shradow Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Of course, as Issun said, she's only the most powerful we've actually seen so far. But she's still only so far into her studies, I'm wondering what the "next level" Celestia mentioned might be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ahem! Since we are on this debate, I'd like to bring up a point TVTropes has brought to my attention. Twilight knows many spells. Twilight has not MASTERED all those spells. Twilight only uses spells when she KNOWS she can do them perfectly, no matter how good that spell would be in any given situation. She knows tons of spells, but doesn't use them because she's a perfectionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well it's nice to see that I'm not the only one who realises that Twilight is kind of a perfectionist when it comes to spells Though in a desperate situation then she'd probably use some spell that she doesn't know well, or at least she'll try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee. Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 To be fair, Twilight is only a perfectionist with magic is because she is pressured by Celestia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grunt Issun Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 [Spoiler=Opinions]I know how Rarity feels. I despise camping and nature too. Though Rainbow CAN be a bit pompous at times, I have to admit that that campfire stunt was pretty sweet. I've noticed the show keeps referencing past episodes more often. It's good that way. Proves that there's a canon. Sweetie Belle's singing voice is... Ah... It's... It's there. Overall, it was an alright episode, I suppose.

Namo™ Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 [Spoiler=Opinions] Rarity approves of glamping, otherwise known as glamorous camping. Return of Luna was AWESOME, and she can now also enter anypony's dream(s), so awesome. Sweetie Belle's song was quite...nice? My whole thought throughout the episode was "Poor Sweetie, having to drag around Rarity's baggage." [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 YES!!! It's my fanboy dream coming to life A Scootaloo episode Rainbow Dash takes Scootaloo under her wing [s]All it needed was a lesbian make-out scene[/s] This is now my new favorite episode Overall rating: 9/10 Okay, maybe it wasn't the greatest and I'm probably over-reacting about it But I loved that episode, words can not describe how I feel after seeing an episode about Scootaloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 3:53 into the episode, Scoot crashes, and makes a [i]chicken[/i] noise. SCOOT IS A CHICKEN. ITS NOW (officially) CANON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 It was a good episode. Rainbow Dash saved Spitfire once and accompanied her at the Gala, how odd that she is not remembered. Kinda like the relationship of Mr Burns with Homer Simpson.

Shalltear Bloodfallen Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I must say judging by the episode (Wonderbolt Academy) ending, I am actually rather curious on how this will develop as Hasbro has to me seemed rather die-hard at keeping a sense of "status quo" for the show. A good ep, and I am way more exited then I should be for Hasbro giving Spitfire and the Wonderbolts some love <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I know I shouldn't be expecting it, but I'm almost disappointed they didn't actually use the phrase "you almost killed my friends". Granted "taken out" and "smashed to pieces" is, for all intents and purposes, the same thing, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
