Real talk though, why does no one learn how wrong it was how Ponyville was treating Luna? All it talks about is the lesson Luna learned, but she wasn't the only one who needed to learn something! All of Ponyville was being so insensitive!

They were afraid of her since she was Nightmare Moon.

@ClariceTheFox Maybe to some extent, but they seemed pretty quick to not be scared once.they admitted they were just acting scared for fun.

@Rekushi_ Well, it's hard to tell when they do that since they seemed genuinely scared when it came to Luna when she tries to fit in with the society.

1000 years of fear does that. And twilight said they learned some people may originally be scary, but they can be totally different

Real talk though why does no one else learned how wrong it was how ponyville was treating Luna, all it talks about is a lesson Luna learned, but she wasn't the only 1 who needed to learn something, all of the ponies in ponyville were being so insensitive to Luna's feelings.

They basically want her to relive her past and her worst-side of herself. It's kind of a mean episode. I mean think about it when Celestia visit no one dare treats her like that I know Celestia hasn't gone dark before but still regardless they all have so much worship over her, and they'd never treat her like they do to Luna. It's kind of not hard to see why Luna change in the first place. She was always seen like this even before she became nightmare moon. They were very insensitive to Luna. But Luna has been gone for 1000 years she doesn't know what this celebration was about either, no one explain that they are supposed to be scared, but in Luna's eyes they have always been scared of her, so she felt they were disrespecting her. They should have learned to show some love towards her too.

Maybe because Luna came in with the huge booming voice and scared the crap out of everypony?  That coupled with Pinkie Pie constantly egging everyone on.  Also as we'll see in another episode that centers around Fluttershy, the ponies in Ponyville can actually be pretty mean.


You among countless others (me included)


Luna: Surprise!!!! i changed my design. Do you like it??

Luna: Surprise!!! I just now got all my powers back from before I was Nighmare Moon! Tia told me to get out of the castle and mingle, so here I am. Please like me, I do try!


Ugh, Princess Luna. I love her so much and she still remains my favorite character since this show aired. So beautiful. So tragic.


Well, Luna was a thousand years old myth at that point...

season 1 luna evolved into season 2-present luna and her evil mega evolution is nightmare moon


Pinkie twisting Lunas words made me mad at her. Poor Lulu


Not gonna lie if I was in Lunas situation I'd embrace it and play the part just for the fun.

Goin around like RD and scaring people 😂. They would probably team up and go together tbh!


I wanted so badly to give that pretty lady a hug.


This is a good episode. It's great to see Luna in an episode. The concept of Nightmare Night is great. That scene with Fluttershy is great.


paper bag Derpy is one of the best costumes of the show

i like how people use paper bags to make art but other than that its the best costume of the show


Luna sitting alone below the statue of her evil, former self seems to create an allusion to how other ponies see her as:

A pony who cannot thrive on her own and simply sees herself forever in the shadow of Nightmare Moon.


Poor Pip. And he's one of the nicer foals, too. He's not as mean as Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon, and not as dumb as Snips and Snails.

Yeah, poor li'l Twist got a lot of hate too and I never understood it.

@ScreamingScallop Yeah Twist gets a ton of hate from a lot of fans. I think its mostly because of her appearance. Which is sad.

@Oo-De-Lally <br>Really? I always figured it was because she kind of ditched Applebloom because Twist got her cutie mark while Applebloom was a blank flank, and that seems a lot more likely than assuming a large number of people dislike a character because of their appearance. I mean, I think we can all attest to there being far less aesthetically appealing characters in the show than Twist.

If only Twist got a better time to shine in the series after that one appearance!

Aariz Ali damn you’re speaking in intelligent!

@Oo-De-Lally I wish yeah twist gets a ton of likes more than hates

@Sin Alder applebloom and pip are so cute

@twist58 twist will learn to love than hate


We had that happen in front of our house on 4th of july once. My dad had PTSD from the military and nearly went out with a gun to shoot the kids. He didn't, thank goodness. But it was a hard night for us all. I was 8 and I still have issues with loud noises because of that night.

Edit: We lived out in the country, with the closest other house still about half a mile away. These kids came from a nearby town and went down the road doing this shit.


Hey PonyBro.
   I know, you probably know everything I am about to say, but some don't. So here goes.
   Luna was away for a thousand years. Before that, she was the 'mailed hoof' behind Celestia's diplomacy. She was 'Tia's General. And Equestria would not be what it is without Luna's contributions 'behind the scenes' in those early days.
   Because of all of this, Luna was all about planning battles and waging wars to defeat Equestria's foes. And due to that, she had little or no time for 'fun'.
   As we see in Luna's arrival at Ponyville, she has her traditional 'bat ponies', aka: Thestral Ponies, as her Royal Guards. Given the 'backstory' on them from both Hasbro and Fans, the Thestrals originally were fruit eaters, but over time, some evolved to be blood drinkers. To channel the aggression of the blood drinking types, Luna put them to work as her Guards and Nocturnal Army.
   As the series progresses, we see Luna grow and change... although not totally from her pre-banishment self, as seen in later episodes. Specifically Season 7, Episode 10. And even later in Season 9, Episode 13.
   Now, on to something we all know... the opening of most episodes in the first few seasons...
   At first, a wagon is seen being pulled by a random pony, but very quickly this changed to Big Mac pulling the wagon with Granny Smith near him. Originally it was an orange stallion with three blue horse shoes as a Cutie Mark.
   On the train: I will skip the first car behind the Engine for now... it's a double decked car. The next four cars, excepting the final car's 'porch' at the rear, have random ponies looking out the windows. In that porch area at the back of the final car are the CMCs.
   Now, back to the double decked car behind the engine... in the lower section we see three ponies from the Ponyville retirement village, and in the cupola (top part) we see Derpy, aka: Muffins, aka: Ditzy Doo peeking out of it's window.
   I only got into the MLP fandom due to near constant suggestions by a roomie that was staying with me at the time. About halfway through season 5, I finally broke down and watched every episode up to that point because I had plans for a vacation fall through and suddenly had several days of time on my hands.
   By the time I had finished season 3, I was hooked. And I've seen every episode since, many times.
   One thing though... While I was 'binging' MLP, my roomie came home from work later than usual to find me watching the series. He was a bit 'smug' about it all, until I mentioned something even he missed. You see, although he had seen all those episodes, and opening theme song animations many times over, he had never seen Derpy in the cupola.
   So, in a way, I 'got him back' for hooking me on a kid's show.
   Speaking-Frank-ly, Rhymer, the Thestral.

also if you go back to season 1 episode 1 part 1, youll find out about luna's story


This is why I relate to Luna it’s really hard to really socialize


"The fun has been doubled!"

Dude, I'm reliving the memes!


„[...] We go around and we just light fireworks in front of people’s houses at like midnight.“<br>Isn’t that what you do normally, though? I mean, maybe not. I just assumed the 4th of July is basically like the German New Year’s Eve... 😅

4th of July is a separate holiday from New Years but they do both have fireworks....

Baby youre a firework cmon let your colors burst

@Ocean Solstice including championship fireworks and concerts too


Mario and Luigi are Shining Armor and Cadance children too, but Flurry Heart is the youngest.


18:13 when did pinkie acquire spike’s unborn sibling’s egg lol?


Every time I see this episode I replace the words with the script from the FiW parody series Episode 6 Lunar Slander.

20:44 Also Scary butt fun I'll let myself out


When Pinkie Pie eats Candy
Ponybro: Ha 😄
When Spike eats Candy
Ponybro: Fat Ass 😒

*When Pinkie Pie eats Candy*
Ponybro: Ha 😄
*When Spike eats Candy*
Ponybro: Fat Ass 😒


I'm kind of glad they only did the Knuckles thing with Luna's personality in this one episode.  It was a fun standalone episode, but it would've been weird if she stayed like this, especially with some of the later songs.


21:59 What goes around comes around, Rainbow XD.


You seem to have a significantly larger leeway when it comes to female characters than you do male characters.

Star Glitter Glow Hmm I guess that’s true. Although looking back, I don’t know why I hated pip this much XD. But yeah, considering all my spike abuse I guess you’re right. The female ones are just too cute to get mad at I guess lol (usually)

@PonyBro I Guess thx for the mlp reactions PB


Spike must have an identity issue because he must think he is a pony at times, I mean he is a dragon and yet he dressed up as a dragon how does that make sense?


10:10 "It is tradition to use capslock!" lmao


2:30
Well, it would be more like dressing up as a character from a movie/show/game that's human


Yeah if you think about the events in this show even a little they get pretty messed up


Is it just me or at 15:25 some banner thing that falls behind Luna looks at out place here.😗?


@Bøxy you just love luna that's why and she's our twinkle little star


Oh yeah I forgot u used to we're all those glasses XD


Luna is the best pony every other pony just lives in her world


The funny part is last night I fell asleep at 6:20 because family problems and anxiety weird??


0:00 with those glasses, You are 80% cooler


1:14 - Starswirl the Bearded...  Eh, I'm sure he's not that important...


trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat


Pony bro I guess: why you dress up like your self 5:06 savage


1:36 im 12 and im still awake and it's 4:26 in the morning for me
...oh wait... i forgot i have a disorder that makes sleeping absolute toucher... i really need some sleep... 😓

staying up all night on halloween is fun

@Alex Naanep true but I think I meant like<br>Regularly

@Alex Naanep true but I think I meant like
Regularly

@Rainbow Drop like some people stay up past their bed time on Halloween


12:14 It took me forever to realize the CMC are among the trick-or-treaters (Nightmare Nighters?), but their costumes are brilliant. In honor of the occasion, and since Halloween is actually coming up, check out this swag little fanart from 2012, showing the Mane 6 dressed up as modern American horror movie icons: https://www.deviantart.com/shepherd0821/art/My-horror-pony-324708257
