Well, she demonfied Snips and Snails and I don’t doubt the same could be done with the others. And now that I think of it, the princesses would be susceptible to her brainwashing.

Maybe the word “Cathedral” has a different etymology in Equestria? That tends to be my standard handwave whenever a word that belongs to something specifically from Earth cultures crops up in a fantasy setting that lacks that culture.
Also, given the amount of times the EoH were mentioned, let alone used seems to confer their status as minor Chekov’s guns, because if the greater narrative doesn’t particularly care about them, then why should I?
I think the best solution would be to put the elements on a huge underground railway network. Then when they’re needed, Rainbow Dash could draw a watch on her fetlock, and speak into it, “Elements of Harmony….It’s Showtime!” And the elements would rise out of the ground in a huge could of dust, landing on the six ponies as they rise, their gems displaying their startup sequence, “Cast in the Name of Celestia, Ye Harmonious.” Then the ponies would kick plot all over Equestria.
The Elements were never anything more than plot devices to begin with, so I really don’t give a shit how they’re handled as long as they get the job done.
@Background Pony I think the best possible movie would be Twilight taking on the president and Liberty Prime, who believe friendship is a gateway drug to communism
@Background Pony
Well I mean obviously not as clearly cynical as I stated it, but I think they could’ve easily gotten away with a sad little solo musical number about how humiliating it is.

Dude, that’s genius. And the reason why Sunset Shimmer is a stupid bitch who torments people and random and has a plan with more holes in it then swiss cheese? Her long term exposure to the world has driven her completely insane!
@ClownDicks
Then why did her friends transform with her, and before you say that they weren’t her friends, they were alternate reality versions of them who knew her longer than their counterparts did the first time they used the Elements. Presumably alternate Twilight is an element bearer too.
A vault you say

Ah, sorry. ^_ ^
I know; I was being facetious with the “Cathedral” thing :P

This. Also, how does a “Cathedral” exist in a setting without Catholicism…?
He’s saying Twilight is the only one that matters without giving any good reason.
Hasbro, hire this man.

That’s completely silly and utterly impractical.
I approve.
No, but they were identical enough that they might as well have been them.

“Taking on [..] Liberty prime”
Well, that movie is going to be extremely short.

But they weren’t them. She had no history with them, not even the common thread of the Rainboom.
