Season 7 Episode Discussion [Speculation, Discussion, Spoilers] (SPOILER YOUR LEAKS)

@Wiimeiser  
It’s going to be #17.
 
Rainbow Dash’s favorite author announces her retirement. Dash convinces Pinkie Pie to find out if the book on Daring Do will be closed forever

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
Then why isn’t it on the wiki? Is Daring Done just a fan name for the episode? Because it’s not on Zap2it either…

There is a wiki page for it, though maybe you can only find it by Google atm?
 
The source is TV passport, which revealed quite a few titles/synopsis before Zap2it.

Oh it’s always upsetting when they kill a character, feels like the end of the show is getting near… wish Daring would stay, maybe she’s going through a crises and decided to stop her expeditions and writing but Rainbow convinces her otherwise?

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  
According to the source the full title is Daring Done? (with a question mark), I bet she won’t retire.

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
If she retires she must at least get into something else to justify it, since nobody can see Daring just retired at a beach doing nothing after her adventures life heheh feels off
 
There’s a few good episode ideas not yet explored, I particularly would really really love a Rainbow episode focused on the wonderbolts, maybe have them on an official assignment by Celestia herself and show further deep interaction between Rainbow, Spitfire, Soarin, Fleetfoot and whoever else to accomplish their task, all great characters to explorer that often don’t get enough light in the show.

I’ve always wondered about the Wonderbolts. Are they really military or are they just for show? They did try to fight Spike once but that was it. If its just defending Canterlot, then royal guards got that covered. Do they even go on missions?

@hironakamura  
They’re probably an elite flyers group for the military. Sometimes the military does air shows too.

@hironakamura
 
According to that Rainbow ~ Twilight episode that they teach the new recruits in the place of Spitfire, Twilight in her lecture stated that Princess Celestia officially created the Wonderbolts after being amazed by the flying skill of a specific group of pegasi of the Royal Guard, thereafter I think it is safe to say the Wonderbolts are a branch of the Royal Guard, the elite air force of the Royal Guard if you wish and yes every Wonderbolt officer is considered to be military personal including Rainbow herself.
 
When Tyrek attacked Cloudsdale it was the Wonderbolts who tried to engage him instead of the Royal Guard so it also is likely they are the “police enforcement” of Cloudsdale.
 
If you think about it Captain seems to be the highest military rank in Equestria’s military, officially we have Shining Armor as the Royal Guard captain and Spitfire as Wonderbolts captain, they’re likely to be in the same hierarchy patent, both answer directly to the Princesses as well.
 
So by theory Princess Twilight could order Spitfire to assemble a team for a mission which would be damn cool to see.

@hironakamura  
They’re all a bunch of jobbers.

Okay this has been scratching at the back of my brain for a while, but how did the Apple siblings not know anything about their mother’s family? I mean for such a family-centric group, you’d image one day they’d go “Hey who were on Mom’s side of the family?”. They even had an episode where they looked at a super extended family tree. Did they all just ignore Pear Butter’s family or did they just not include it and nobody questioned it?

@EotD  
Because then there wouldn’t be the episode we watch :P
 
In all honesty though, Big Mac seems fairly old enough to remember his parents by the time they past away so i do think it was a bit odd the complete lack of knowledge about their past… nonetheless still plausible in my opinion since no teenager expects to lose parents like that.

While not season 7, the movie trailer is now out. Thoughts? Opinions?

@SuperFlame  
Looks good. The animation looks like it came from the toy commercials. Regardless, it’s still impressive.

@SuperFlame  
There’s a specific thread about the movie that can be accessed through here: https://derpibooru.org/pony/the-my-little-pony-movie/post/3176038#post_3176038

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  
Thanks for the link. I probably should’ve expected that was a thread topic already.

ignore this post, wrong thread.

Can someone please tell the MLP movie’s gif making website to work properly and allow me to make my gifs?

@Princess Trixie vi Equestria  
Yes, but if Celestia or Luna aren’t avalaible. Twilight only has priority about friendship stuffs.

@hakirayleigh  
I think Twilight would have the authority to do that.

@Magma_ERuptiOn  
But with Celestia approval.

I know lots of people are worried, but I’m quite interested in a lot of the back half of season 7 episodes. We get a zecora ep, more Ember, Daring Done, possibly Twilight’s parents.

@hakirayleigh  
The way I see it Twilight does have the authority as in Spitfire will never refuse a direct order from her, however that doesn’t mean she might not have to explain herself to Celestia afterwards yes.

I like the idea of Spike being a Casanova Wannabe. Like, he thinks he’s a mares’ dragon, but he’s actually a total dork.

@Background Pony #44B9  
But he does think like that
