Season 8 Spoiler Station

Post by Wayoshi (?) » Mon Nov 06, 2017 8:31 pm

So going off my memory, but...

-Chrysalis returns (probably S8 premiere)
-movie characters/species such as hippogriffs will be around
-Tirek returns (S8 finale)

Will be another 26 episodes. It seems like this train is not stopping anytime in the near future. But a leak, or two, or a million, are a certainty at some point. :P

Here's a Season 8 animatic that was shown at Hascon last summer.

Chrissy returning alone has me stoked for Season 8. :allears:

All we know in this regard is that Mark Acheson is reprising his role as Tirek. We don't necessarily know what Tirek is going to do. Will he just be in a flashback? Will Chrysalis be defeated and sent to burn in hell alongside him? Will he return to the world and attempt to steal the magic of all Equestrians again? :pinkieshrug:

Thinking about this in light of the season finale. I initially thought she was going to use the hairs and photos to make a fake Mane 6 to go after Glim-Glam, but now I wonder if they're trying to tie it into Stygian's attempt to clone the Elements of Shovelry and have her create the pony equivalent of Captain Pollution.

The Russian hacker that leaked the movie and most of season 7 claims they'll leak season 8, and that season 9 is already in the works.

So I'm looking forward to seeing how that goes

Given the show's theme is the power of friendship, I'd actually be surprised if Chrysalis isn't reformed. Having Thorax and Pharynx convince her would add some emotional punch to the story. Image

A binge of 13 or 26 episodes of pony would be ... quite a thing. I feel like it's a bluff as the source of the leak was pretty clear from the leaked PDFs, but who am I to say?

I really want Chrysalis to not be reformed. Don't mess that up.

I seriously doubt she will. A lesson like "though they are incredibly few, some people in the world absolutely will not be swayed by reason or morals and thus must be shunned" is perhaps too weighty for this show, but there's a more convenient reason: convincing villains to not be evil is getting a bit old by this point. Though trying hard to find the good side of anyone is absolutely a good lesson, it'll be a bit boring to hear it too many more times.

I want Chrysalis to be redeemed.

Of all the villains left, she has the most obvious path to redemption either by learning to share love, or rediscovering the love she had for her changelings. Or at least I hope so, I don't think Chrissy so flat of character that she is only evil for the sake of power and beyond redemption.

I would love to see that the pressure of caring for her subjects is what ended up corrupting her love, and eventually herself and drove her to commit the acts she has. With the redemption of the rest of changelings that pressure is no longer there, and all that keeps her going is the desire for revenge. Hopefully the changelings can come together using Chrissy's lost love for them, and right her path before she destroys herself.

That's why I'd like to see Thorax and Pharnyx involved. Chrissy might listen to them as she might not to Starlight.

I don't think Chrysalis is beyond redemption either. Remember, she came so close to accepting Starlight's offer of friendship in the S6 finale.

Yes, literally a million.

A list of S8 airdates is out.

https://premieredate.news/tv-series/275 ... magic.html
I would not take that too seriously. According to that there isn't going to be a hiatus (has that ever happened?) and the 2 part episode opening and finale will not air back to back, but on different weekends (I think the S2 opening is the only 2 parter that hasn't aired back-to-back).

Season 4 aired almost uninterrupted (there was a two-week break between "Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3" and "Trade Ya", but that's it), but otherwise yeah, I can't find anything that indicates the dates are accurate, since there's no announcement from Hasbro about the dates yet.

The "Mare on the Moon" two-parter did not air back-to-back as well, but rather 12-days apart.

That site also says:
As of today, no official announcement has been made regarding the actual premiere date of the upcoming installment of the series. So, stay tuned and we will update with any news for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the start date for season 8, as well as any updates for My Little Pony: The Movie.
Yet, they claim to know the dates that every episode will air. The fuck?

There's also the fact that literally every single season since the Hub became Discovery Family has had its premiere air the day before Easter. Under that schedule, S8's premiere will be on March 31, but this site says we'll be on the fifth episode by then. I don't see DF wising up and airing the premiere on an actually sensible date.

And there we have the big set piece for the two-parter premiere and the finale.

Honestly I think that looks better a castle than Twilight's giant crystal eyesore, honestly.

I didn't watch the video, but that's clearly a hippogriff in the preview frame. I suppose S8 really does take place after the movie.

They've been airing some animatic clips on Discover Family, and one of them revealed something cool.
