[up][up][up][up][up] The point I'm trying to make is that Luna's body is powerful, but Luna herself may not know what kind of power she wields. So, no, she's not powerful.

[up][up][up][up] I know, right? I was disappointed at the lack of songs.

@Red It still bugs me though, when People try to completely disasscociate Luna from the Nightmare Moon event. People are always saying that it wasn't her fault.

When it clearly was. (she did have a sympathetic motive though)

[up][up] I think Luna's about as Powerful as Celestia, she just doesn't have as much experience as her sister

[up] She does avoid a lot of blame. If she hadn't been jealous, whatever controlled her wouldn't have caused much trouble. Although I shudder to think what it could've done when posessing an Ursa Major.

[up][up] Problem is: We still don't have all the details regarding what corrupted her, particularly: how it worked. It could've just given her a little push towards evil for all we know

Word of Faust. Someone will dig up the exact quote soon enough, I'm sure.

My silly fanon is that it's a gaseous, manipulative soul tainting entity that feeds on negative emotions, captured on the outskirts of Equestria by Celestia.

She purposefully released it and sent it to Luna as a test of her character. If she accepted it into her, then she's evil (and is therefore ok to seal away), if she rejected it, then she's good

I know it was a bad thing but I don't really care about Luna's part in the Nightmare Moon thing. "Luna Eclipsed" should be good. the writers will handle it well, I'm certain.

and does anyone else think that Luna's decision to repair her image on Equestria's equivalent of Halloween is bad timing? I'm expecting sompony to Lampshade it. maybe even have a Running Gag about Lampshading it.

and with the other moments of Ascended Fandom in the show, I wouldn't be suprised if "Luna Eclipsed" had a very tam Shout Out to Cupcakes or one of the Grim Dark Fan Fics.

[up][up][up] What? Do you mean you like Nightmare Moon but not Luna, or do you just not like the whole idea?

Now this is just a rumor, so take it with a grain of salt, but...

Should be an interesting episode.

That doesn't necessarily mean that she was corrupted at all. Faust was going on about her appearance. What Luna LOOKS LIKE as Nightmare Moon.

For all we know, it was HER evil magic that created her Nightmare Moon form

[up][up][up] Exactly!

I dislike the idea that magic can be evil. I prefer to think of magic as being neutral and it is the usage of it that determines it's morality.

[up][up] Faust said "Evil Magic"

plus, Luna would've been using her magic with evil intent. to create a dark, imposing body for herself

Well, until this has been debunked I am ALL FOR blaming Luna for everything she did as Nightmare Moon

[up][up] Same. And IMO all the magic she displayed was her own.

So, new episode who wants to bet that Scootaloo will try to get Rainbow Dash to take part in the celebration with her.
