Images from "Princess Twilight" Revealed

According to Equestria Daily's countdown clock, there are 8 days left until the Season 4 premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Equestria Daily posted some images today that purport to be from the premiere. (Equestria Daily cautions that some of them may be fake.) You can see them right here. But as is my habit, I will also be posting them here to rampantly speculate on them.

This appears to be Twilight and her friends standing in front of the stained glass window depicting Twilight's alicorn ascension seen previously in one of the promos for Season 4. Just looks like Twilight's concerned about something and the others are sympathetic. I wonder about what.

Here we have confirmation that the clip of Nightmare Moon from the animatic shown at the San Diego Comic Con last summer will be in the premiere. Many suspect that it is supposed to be Twilight experiencing Celestia's memories in a manner reminiscent of the pensieve from Harry Potter. However, given what we know will happen in the premiere so far, I'm not certain when Twilight will get a chance to accidentally fall into one of Celestia's memories. Perhaps Celestia and Luna having gone missing try to send Twilight a message through her dreams consisting of Celestia's memory. That message being that the entity behind Nightmare Moon is back. This practically confirms for me that the entity behind Nightmare Moon is back, and is probably the villain of the story. Unless, it is a new villain alongside most of the previous villains putting together Equestria's answer to the Legion of Doom. And it remains possible the Nightmare Entity could have been the force behind King Sombra as well. Everything remains pretty full circle will all the premieres thus far.

Further confirmation that Discord will be in the premiere! Here we have a distraught Twilight and Spike sitting before the overgrown Everfree Forrest with Discord floating above also looking sad. Given that he looks sad, it seems Discord will not be serving in a villainous capacity. It seems like he's either unable to help them with whatever is going on or is feeling guilty over potentially refusing to help. Then again, if this premiere does feature a villainous team-up, perhaps Discord is feeling guilty over betraying the ponies. That's why he's looking sad while Twilight can't see him. Well, at least I will hope for that.

Of course, the biggest argument against the villainous team up is the lack of any evidence that Chrysalis will be returning. A lot can still happen with a little more than a week to go.

This one is the most shocking. Twilight is crying over the prone body of Celestia in the ruins of the castle in the Everfree it appears! Now, we've all seen Celestia go down for the count in "A Canterlot Wedding". This seems really serious though. I find that prospect quite exciting! I mentioned in a previous blog that I'd like to see MLP become more mature and grow up with its audience. Certainly having Celestia almost die as it looks like here would be a sign of that. I doubt that she will actually die though. I don't think they're willing to go that far at this point. I imagine this is most likely part of the premiere's climax.

Those are my thoughts on these tantalizing images. What do you all think about them?

Can you not wait for the premiere of Season 4? I certainly can't!

God bless you all. God bless America. And God bless Equestria.

These images definitely have me thinking and they only add to my anticipation for November 23 (along with everything having to do with The Day of the Doctor as well )!
