LOL I’m just glad Spike made it into the picture!

@SemiJuggao  
Lucky, my sister isn’t into ponies (I did make her and my brother-in-law watch the first two episodes, which they did like though but don’t have time or even Netflix to watch)

<Mane 6 officially consider Discord their friend>  
<Doesn’t show up for the picture>

@SemiJuggao  
The part of that I personally enjoy the most possibility wise is that it takes the single beam o’ banishment and splits it into six individuals who can manually apply that power wherever its needed, across a drastically larger area (all of equestria)
 
It appeals to the part of my brain thats into things like super sentai and magical girl anime. (Though the designs not as much. Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Twilight I dig, but Ponka poe, rarara and Fluttershy are all kind of suffocating under their body-obscuring manes.

@Keith Mowz  
Yeah, my sister and I actually speculated that whatever was in the box would be some new form of the Elements of Harmony. We weren’t wrong, apparently. The Rainbow Power basically infuses the Mane Six with the power of the Elements, themselves.

@SemiJuggao  
Considering it was called “rainbow power” from day one, I could pretty much guarantee it was just the replacement version for the elemental rainbow.

@HighRollerHydra  
I had a feeling it would be implemented as some sort of super transformation.

Huh, so it turns out the “Rainbow Power” thing wasn’t permanent after all. Well, at least the fans won’t worry about tattoos being splattered on their bodies.

@Keith Mowz  
Speaking of repetition, they’re really going to have to explore new story possibilities, in order to keep the show fresh. Honestly, season five will be the perfect opportunity to have the Mane Six travel to lands beyond Equestria.

And it could quite easily be an awesome new direction that helps avoid too much repetition of previous episode themes.

@Hugobertington.Esq  
I know what you mean, and there is definitely a difference between pleasing the fans and making quality entertainment. However, I’m just worried about the overall direction the show is taking with Twilight’s new Ponyville castle and the freaking round table council room…
 
Needless to say, that is a MUCH BIGGER CHANGE than giving Twilight wings.

@SemiJuggao  
There is a difference I feel, between “keeping the fans happy” and making a well written show.  
I fear the writers are failing the latter and trying to make up that failure by performing the former

@Hugobertington.Esq  
Don’t get me wrong, I’m also worried about the series future. Still, despite all the drama that has occurred in this fandom, the staff really has tried to do what they can to keep us fans happy, as well as keep the show going strong. I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic about what lies ahead…

@SemiJuggao  
And I am afraid….

I meant “This IS the moment…”

Forget the coronation, THIS the moment which marked a new beginning for Twilight and her friends! Seriously, if they wanted, the staff at Hasbro Studios could take FiM in an all-new direction from here on out!

Would have been better if it was in the library.

Nice shot to end the season.

That background makes me think of a subterranean alien lair.
