Anyone seen this yet? Skip to 2:25.

Guys, I made a discovery. MLP and Space Lion together in my brain with the pot create a strange but very nice dissonance...

^^I didn't make it into his panel, but he seems like a cool guy. And not just from that, but that definitely helps.

EDIT: Oh, and I found another picture of Tyrant Celestia. Corona Blaze◊.

Yay, I stopped picking on Twilight for once! Unfortunately for Apple Bloom, that means she is tonight's victim. >.> http://no-contest-creations.com/2011/07/12/mlpfim-cruel-joke/

xwhatever: Celestia has guards because STORY-WISE she is Royalty, not just Divinity. And royalty has guards. It's what a little girl might put in a castle, becuase guards are in castles.

Then, are they really said to be BOD Yguards and not just soldiers; "Celestia's Guard"? I mean, Celestia is not an omnipotent god like that of Judaism or Christianity, and polyteistic gods can very well have soldiers; both mythical and modern Marvel Odin has a hall full of warriors.

Wow, thanks for finding these again. Although some of them don't make me think "Celestia gone evil" so much as "Wow, the war must be going pretty badly if she's putting on battle armor."

There in lies the tricky thing with Celestia, she has a similar build to Nightmare Moon already, what can you really do to make her evil? Bling and change the hair.

All right I did it, I watched your damn pony show the entire way through. Are you happy, internet?! You talked and you talked forever about the friendship and the magic and I watched it.

Let me complete that post for you: "And, Internet...

Welcome to the herd, I think...

That's an appropriate name if I ever heard any... Welcome to the Broniehood, the Fillieship of the Hoof... nah, those aren't as catchy...

Erm, what's appropriate about my name?

No, "the herd" is appropriate collective name for the bronies, because it rhymes with "nerd".

Celestia just fascinates me. Do you think she'd be hurt if you hit her, or is she Nigh Invulnerable?

^I don't think she's invulnerable, but she's probably more resilient than your average pony by far. She is a goddess, after all.

Given that we've seen ponies survive having anvils dropped on them, I'd say that'd be pretty resilient.

Can someone show me where it says that Celestia is actually a goddess? Extremely powerful alicorn (I don't know the origin of that word, either) with enough magical power to control the motion of the heavens and have plenty left over, yes. But I've seen no indication that she's all-powerful, all-knowing, omnipresent, or any of the other qualities we usually associate with a deity. What am I missing?

I don't think the term specifically means being omnipresent, omnipotent, omnipresent and all that (the greek pantheon sure weren't)

one definiton: A being of supernatural powers or attributes, believed in and worshiped by a people,

You know, playing in Robot Unicorn Attack is like playing offspring of Rainbow Dash and Duke Blueblood.

I think she's too cool to get hit in the first place.

@Computer Sherpa, and Gingerninja after that: You raise a good point. The people of Equestria don't worship Celestia (in a religious sense; I bet hundreds of young fillies idolize her), and she's open and warm even by regular, non-magical royalty standards - it's hard to believe in a person as an ideal when you encounter them occasionally as, well, a person. She may not be a literal goddess, but she has goddess-level magical power and is functionally immortal, or at the least has a very long lifespan. So she may not be a goddess, exactly, but she's definitely a goddess among ponies.

And yes, being a god or goddess doesn't necessarily mean you're omni-anything. There are many more polytheistic pantheons than monotheistic... um, pantheons, after all, and most gods tend to oversee certain specific domains rather than the whole of time and space.

Play Rainbow Dash Attack. It's 20% cooler.

I can't, because that epsiode is in the future, where it will air, complete with Erasure soundtrack, as Dash, weaking full plate armor... dashes steadily faster through a landscape, carrying some message, or running to rescue someone. The episode's plot will be something vaguely related to the lyrics of the song: being oneself, shedding shame, being there for A Friend in Need, a pledge of eternal loyalty. I suggest Fluttershy as the Damsel In Distress, and flashbacks of crowning moments of heartwarming between the two, as well as close shots of Dash's extreme determination, intercalated between the moments of spectacularly fast running, dodging, and rainbooming.

You know what frustrated me this morning? I was talking to a girl about Avatar, complaining how it's a Mighty Whitey fantasy, and she says "I never saw it that way, for me it was just a silly love story". Seriously? Is it actually true that the reason romantic subplots are shoehorned into nearly every Hollywood movie is because girls just don't see the rest except insofar as it's related to the romance? Will MLP change this and teach little girls to care about plot?

My only problem with the Rainbow Dash mod of Robot Unicorn Attack was that submitting a score apparently got me banned from Adult Swim's games server or whatever. I understand why it would do that, but then why did they leave the original submission script in there?
