Don’t get the crystal empire hate. People would be complaining even more if they never went anywhere but Ponyville or Canterlot. This is a cute silly promo not something worth getting angry over.

Ugh… I hate her wings

Is it odd to say that those buildings look more “Town of Bedrock” than “Crystal Empire” to me?

“ Twilight confirmed for worst flier. “
 
Hey, I bet RD had similar experiences the FIRST TIME she ever tried her wings out! XD

What’s with all the hate? I freakin love this!
 
Whether it’s season 4 footage or not, it’s still something. Honestly, I start to believe that she actually did crash into a mountain or at least crash landed. Besides she was more or less gliding, so RD probably still needs to help her out with the flapping part :)

I’m just noticing now how her wings are a tad larger than a regular pegasus.  
Special wings for alicorns, maybe?

More Crystal Empire is always good.

These comments……  
People are STIIIIIIIIIIIILL not over Princess Twilight!?  
For those who can’t accept it, you guys might wanna find a new show to watch religiously.
 
……and then 98% of all bronies left and that feeling of crushing loneliness returns.

Strange…She was flying almost perfectly at the end of Magical Mystery Cure. Oh well, nice to see progress already!
 
I wonder if the writers intend to pull a Kid Icarus here (i.e. Pit’s limited Power of Flight).

but I saw you fly good, why did you lie to me?

And then I notice it’s a Hot Topic thing.
 
Still, I’ve got a sinking feeling about the season 4 premiere.

Oh joy. More crystal bullshit land. Are we going to get more Pretty Pink Princess shoved down our throats while we’re at it? Who am I kidding, of course we are. Little girls don’t like royalty being authority figures, like Celestia and Luna. Authority figures are boring.

@Twinhead-B  
No worries.
 
This could easily be test animation (it’s all of 5 seconds long) to make sure her wing model worked done by HMX directly. I’m not seeing it being like a massive order particularly to meet its advertising contract with Hot Topic and to tease the brony fandom.

@Masem
 
Wasn’t claiming you did, mate. I just it weird that Hot Topic’s promo has a HUB watermark. Lends me to believe they may have animated themselves over a Crystal Empire background, because I find that more believable than the notion they have Season 4 AT LEAST eight months prior to it even airing on the network that owns the rights to it.
 
I find it even less believable that production for Season 4 would be that far along at this moment in time.

that’s not how wings work

Season 4 first scene:  
The last MMC scene, Twilight fies over castle. “Everything’s gonna be just fine”. Then Crashes into the mountain. “Yeah, I forgot I can’t actually fly”
 
Calling it.

Still a better flier than Fluttershy.

@gg666  
It’s too late to save Klonoa.

@Siduckovich (quack)  
I always write …I’m ok with this… all the time on pictures, but this is the greatest thing I have seen in a long time. The tombstone not the spawn of satan with wings.

@Klonoahedgehog
 
…………….

There is reasonable space between the night she alicorned and the coronation to have a few episodes. It is highly doubtful that Celestia had everything ready the next day to do the ceremony. Plenty of room for the “learning to fly” episode, as long as they make it clear that’s it’s pre-coronation.

Sorry but it does irk me if she suddenly can’t fly after showing her perfectly fly right into the camera at the end of SE3.
 
It’s fine I guess but it’s definitely going to be one of those little “thing” that sticks in the back of your mind like a splinter.

eh, still don’t like the wings

Hey look there trying to make her less like a Mary sue. Too late Hot topic.

Also fuck crystal empire shots that ruin indexed color animations.
