[Flikaline]

great vid

[SCaitan]

having a full moon over the rooftops outside my window makes this... I have no words for it, except "thanks for this"

[NewWindwolf14]

im currently working on a Nightmare Moon cosplay

[DarkAmulius]

According to Celestia's voice actor Nicole Oliver, we'll be getting more history episodes soon/eventually!

[TheJboy88]

The character of Luna/Nightmare Moon has fascinated me since her first appearance in the show.

I think we need an episode showing her turn to evil. Was it a conscious choice on her part? Was she possessed by some evil force? I mean given how quickly the character went from "I will stop you all" to "I'm so sorry" it seems like it would be the latter option.

If that's the case, was the evil destroyed? Where did it come from in the first place?

So many questions.

[CodenameX96]

@TheJboy88 I dont even care for the show that much, but i love luna, and i think that it was just a force built of a corrupted version of her collective deepest desires, and i think it was locked away not destroyed. The only episode i ever watche was the nightmare night episode, and she kept referring to herself as 'we' and 'us'. for example, when everyone ran away and twilight talked to her, she said, "we could not be happier, is this not clear!?"

Some dark shit going on there...

[pollutedmizuno]

@CodenameX96 The 'we' is just royal speech. Luna herself explains this.

[Mindlessboredom]

@TheJboy88 People believe it was a force of hate or personality that formed in her causing her to obtain powerful magic becoming Nightmare Moon. Some fics or based on the Nightmare Moon spirit, that when she was defeated she left Luna's body and transferred to Twilight's. In that fic Nightmare moon is like Twilight's conscious later forcing itself into her words insulting her friends. If you want a link I may be able to find one.

[despisebieber]

@TheJboy88 No we do not need an episode showing us how nightmare moon came to exist, We need a Fucking movie.

[silverpixie101]

@TheJboy88 i belive it explains it at the begining iod episode 1 season 1

[TwilightAzurek]

@TheJboy88 Fiction in progress.

[ScourageStar99]

@TheJboy88 Discord, Maybe?

[TdafanficReal]

@TheJboy88 She was upset that nopony was ever awake to appreciate her night so she decided not to bring down the moon, her anger is what turned her into nightmare moon so it's a little bit of both

[Danthehed2031]

Princess luna is nightmare moon?

[KK426LH]

@Danthehed2031 Yes

[Danthehed2031]

@KK426LH so what is the episode that transforms into nightmare moon?

[KK426LH]

@Danthehed2031 Luna is nightmare moon, in episode 2 she is transformed back

[Nicki56782]

@Danthehed2031 ya.

[PadraigG8]

@Rilan11 Well there is the little matter of Nightmare Moon nearly ending all life on Equestria. Eternal night = No Sunlight = No Crops = Pony Cannibalism.

[LordofShadowsII]

@Rilan11 But...Celestia is such a benevolent and merciful ruler. She did what she had to. And she welcomed Luna back with open arms. She needs to maybe surrender some power, mayhap. But an insurgency? I think that is extreme.

[annjolianne07]

This touches my heart to watch it over and over and over and over and over again :"D

[legomaster00156]

@Rilan11: However, imprisoning her because she attempted to bring about eternal night (Lauren Faust herself confirmed that plants still can't grow without the sun), and then ignoring attempted diplomacy, is definitely worth a time-out.

[SpiderRiderKya]

@legomaster00156 Not to mention without the sun everything would freeze over and Equestria would become a frozen wasteland(hell, that would happen here if the sun vanished).

[ScourageStar99]

@SpiderRiderKya Instant death, very little life, planets would possibly scatter.

[FuckingDracula]

DISREGARD THAT THE COMMENTS BELOW ME AND EAT A CUPCAKE

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@Rilan11 But Nightmare Moon wanted to make the night last *forever*. You have to have both day and night for ponies to be able to survive at all. Plants need sunshine and nighttime. Celestia only banished Luna/NM because she honestly had no choice. For a semi-divine creature, don't you think that 1000 years wouldn't seem as long as it would to us? Celestia is not a tyrant, troll or molester. I'm so tired of people thinking that. She's a benevolent monarch who is honestly wise and kind.

[sirAthrus]

@PrincessofDestiny114 "Celestia is not a tyrant, troll or molester. I'm so tired of people thinking that. She's a benevolent monarch who is honestly wise and kind".

Yes, a benevolent monarch that imprisoned her little sister alone in the moon for a thousand years, when all she really needed to do was give her a slap around the back of her head and tell her to knock the shit off.

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@sirAthrus Did you not watch the beginning of the first episode? "She tried to reason with her sister"

And think about it logically. I'm a sister. And older sister. My younger sister HATES it when I try to boss her around. Imagine that times about 1000. The youngest sister is angry as F*** because her older sister gets all the attention. She rebels, turning herself evil. Yes, I said evil. Get over guys, Celestia isn't evil. She honestly regretted her decision to send Luna to the moon.

[sirAthrus]

@PrincessofDestiny114 Nope, I didn't watch that episode....cause I'm an adult.

And in my time on this planet, I feel I've gained enough wisdom to know that even if you are an immortal demigod of all things good...locking away my little sister for a thousand years inside the moon for getting pissed off with people ignoring her, is something of a little over the fucking top.

Whats more, If that saint really did regret the decision she had a thousand years to put it right.

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@sirAthrus I don't think she's a saint, I think she's "human" (pony?) enough to make mistakes. Nor do I think she was ABLE to bring Luna back. She couldn't use the elements of harmony anymore. Nor do I think Luna just "got pissed off with people for ignoring her" It started that way, perhaps, but because this is a kid's show there was likely more to it. She REFUSED to lower the moon.

Why are you even arguing about this if you haven't watched the show?

[sirAthrus]

@PrincessofDestiny114 Because this is the internet?

If I don't argue with you about this then there is a chance that the internet will break and frankly I don't want that to happen, do you?

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@sirAthrus Oh, of course. That makes sense. Wouldn't want that to happen, since we all know pointless arguments hold the internet up. :P

[sirAthrus]

@PrincessofDestiny114 Well now that you know, you too can save lives.

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@sirAthrus I thank you for your kind advice, sir.

[nicolft]

@PrincessofDestiny114 ._. Your argument took up the whole comments section..

[PrincessofDestiny114]

@nicolft >.< Didn't mean it too. Dumb internet.

[Pruefan26]

great vid and the song really fits

[SonicTheRainboom]

I WANT TO SEE MOAR OF LUNA DAMNIT. SHE'S ONLY IN 3 EPISODES. D<

[Raidmasterprod]

Ok, NOW I have to watch a full episode!

[subninja12]

i nearly jizzed...

[offspring5522]

Help! It's Nightmare MOOOOOOONN~

[MareInTheMoon]

@offspring5522 Problem?

[offspring5522]

@MareInTheMoon Not at all, I was referring to a video game person called Herbert Moon. You should watch a vid of him and you'll see what I mean... ;)

[MareInTheMoon]

@offspring5522 No, it's Nightmare Moon.

There can only be one...

[offspring5522]

@MareInTheMoon No please! Spare me, I did not mean to be an infidel, m'lady!

[MareInTheMoon]

@offspring5522 'course.

[Earlybird2468]

You know... I always thought her hair was on fire...

PURPLE fire...

Hmmmmmm

[maniste100]

???

[coolgirl1205]

NICE WITH THE GRAPHICS!

MY BRO SAY THIS VIDEO IS CRAP!

[superbros15]

@coolgirl1205 HEY, YOU BROKE THE CAPS KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD TOO I SEE???

[coolgirl1205]

NICE WITH THE GRAPHICS!

[cflotronsong]

the show is awsome and all but i think a few episodes of luna would make it EPIC

[embarandshadowlegend]

Nightmare moon and luna go well with the song Lies by Evanescence.

[RequiemPwnagePSN]

Is it odd I was brought here by Black Ops and Zombies? O.e

[Mlploveyou]

that video ... and even more beautiful ... the episode that I love most of my little pony friendship is magic!

[ThaMonkeykrew]

love it!



[kawaiifreak860]

Evenesance? Lame

[Beingsgirl19]

@kawaiifreak860 Why is Evanescence lame?

[TheRikardc]

so bad she turnd evil

[vash9252]

I wish there was an anime more adult version of this, with celesta and Knight mare moon being more important to the story.

[HollowDeathAngel]

Thumbs up for Evanescence! No, don't thumb up this comment, I'm just saying, Evanescence is light years beyond epic.

[KelsyandKasey]

Why is she so much bigger when she is night mare moon? Does she grow when she's evil or something???

[Furnicelover511]

@KelsyandKasey it is not known officially, considering they never explained this is the two episode pilot. (they may is season 2 though...) lauren faust did however state that luna was apparently posssesed by some "outside force", as she put it, so this "outside force" may have caused her to be that size. but since the two were supposed to be the same size in the book at the beginning, it's possible that luna's true body didn't age whist in nightmare form.

this is so confusing! XD

[otakukitsu]

@KelsyandKasey my guess it some kind of magic that make her more powerfull same thing gos for why her sister is so much bigger and why her hair whent from pink to rainbow

[Kuwari92]

@Rilan11 Careful. Trollestia is listening

[ChupiTheTerrible]

@Rilan11 Wasn't she imprisoned specifically because Luna tried to take over the whole thing first?

[Felpshine]

Great video, but you shouldn't repeat the clips that much.

[pony5122]

my little pony is ace my friends call me baby thumbs up if it happend to you

but the DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PARTY!!!

[zeldafreak000]

@pony5122 my friend called me gay...but i did not feel offended....because he used a stupid voice when he said it :D!

[KuroToraWolf]

I LOvE nightmare moon!she is awesome!

[RoboWatchgirl]

Not half bad. I do love that song.

Twilight and them were all So Brave.

[mrjoker3000]

AMEN!

[icyofthealps]

Thank you Nightmare Moon for being so evil, its a refreshing change from goody two shoe ponies XD

[SnowdriftUSMC]

I know the people who work on this show see all these videos. Bring Nightmare back!

[GoldenTwinProd]

i know this song is from a woman i heard songs from

[itachiXforeverXlove]

"This video is most popular with:

Female 13-17

Male 35-44

Male 45-54 "

...Girls and pedobears..perfect. 

[souliscool101]

@itachiXforeverXlove Hey I'm only fourteen, and straight.

[waffleusage]

@itachiXforeverXlove i beg to differ i'm 16 and this is awesome

[MrMonkeymanablert]

@itachiXforeverXlove Nope, Just girls and Bronies :)

[itachiXforeverXlove]

@MrMonkeymanablert If a boy who watches this is a brony, what's a girl that watches it?

[MrMonkeymanablert]

@itachiXforeverXlove Well I've always just thought Fillies or Hoenies (Hence Bro's before Hoe's to be Bronies before Hoenies?) but anyones guess is as good as mine.

[itachiXforeverXlove]

@MrMonkeymanablert *scratches head* A Fillie is by definition a young female fan, so technically I should be a Hoenie, since I'm 18, but honestly I find the term a bit rude XD

So until I'll find a good word, I'll be a female bronie.

(I just noticed my typo from the previous post, sorry)

[Doomy23]

@itachiXforeverXlove Not Pedobears just older Bronies

[MrFavorite01]

@itachiXforeverXlove Same here as the other. 16 and straight dude. And I'm here. But then again, that says "most popular with". So, too bad I guess? XD

[SirArchieTheThird]

@itachiXforeverXlove

Well saying if most of the male population are Bronies

Inyer age chart.

[JDudex1]

@itachiXforeverXlove I am a 13 year old male..... the correction is now

Male 13-17

Male 35-44

Male 45-54

[iiPandasaur]

@itachiXforeverXlove Ikr?

[MareInTheMoon]

@itachiXforeverXlove Eeeeeeee...

[dagga70]

@itachiXforeverXlove how do you find that stuff out?

[itachiXforeverXlove]

@dagga70 Right next to the view count there is a chart icon. :) The audience statistic is the last, next to the map.

[FunkypinkFerret2]

@itachiXforeverXlove Its bad if girls like mlp? So..the show is only awesome enough for one gender?

[itachiXforeverXlove]

@FunkypinkFerret2 Nope nope, not at all. I was just pointing out the major gap between the ages of girls who watch this and boys who watch this.

[toaaxxon123]

@itachiXforeverXlove i'm 17... something's wrong ._.
