Why there is so little coments about war existence confirmed in MLPFIM ?

Because it had already been portrayed in Over A Barrel?

EDITED IN: Granted, a fairly lighthearted portrayal of war, but still, the reference to it in the latest episode is even milder.

My

is that the Pegasi were an expansionary force or at least initially were. General Hurricane is familiar with conquering while Private Pansy was not. Generals will have been in the military longer than a private so logically Hurricane would be more familiar with earlier procedure.

It's possible that the king is dead and Platinum was unmarried, right? Or is the king explicitly mentioned as being alive.

Did he E Ps and Unicorns have warriors too?

We didn't see any but I'm sure they had them.

It is not explicitly stated but from the general tone of the show I think it's safe to assume that he is.

General Hurricane

It's actually Commander Hurricane.

I don't like the name Derpy (I don't think it's offensive, I just don't think it's a very good name)

I always much preferred Ditzy Doo

I'll agree with you on that one Ginger, Ditzy Doo just sounds much more like a pony name then Derpy.

I felt really bad for Ditzy. She looked so dejected

Wait, so Hurricane was part of the Navy? And Pansy was in the army?

Agreed.

From a spanish speaker persective Derpy doesn't sound as an insult at all. But I like ditzy doo too

I'm good with either. I can't help but think that the way she waved at the audience is a Fandom Nod, especially given the Hub's facebook message to look for her in the episode.

I fully realize that it sucks to be the only person who holds a particular opinion (I've been in that situation a lot of times), but it happens.

I'm definitely in the minority in that I think this episode was just so-so. I'm okay with this, though.

As for Derpy, I'd be surprised if she's ever actually addressed by name on the show. I'm surprised that "Ditzy Doo" made it past the censors. I guess it's confirmed that Ditzy is a separate character?

Hmmm, and her being pulled back is representative of what?...

(I'm overthinking this too much)

Or there's more than one Ditzy Doo in the world (I apparently directed Shrek 3)

I prefer Ditzy Doo, it feels like a name from that world.

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

When All Else Fails, worry, that's the 14 way.

@Seraphem In my head canon Equestria still have army, and it have solders from every race. But most time it not used because Celestia is to powerfull and cunning to let war reach Equestria.

@Hidden Faced Matt That was small confict, amd fighting edned fast. But in this ep we have warior pegasi , with leader whated to fight and had plans for conquest.

And I like it.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

@Syd: Why wouldn't "Ditzy Doo" make it past the censors? If it's an insult, it's about as light and non-offensive as you can get.

Who makes the best soldiers?

I say Pegasi, with the extra mobility and all.

Eps can handle the logistics and artillery and stuff.

Well yeah there are the Royal Gaurds still, But i'm thinking they handle the small stuff, things that bringing out the Princesses for would be overkill

I like to think that she took a curtain call right after the iris-out. We still love ya, whatever your name is.

Was she a part of the play? Or a stagehand? Or was it implied that she snuck in from outside?
