In the back-to-back season premiere titled “The Beginning of the End,” Princess Celestia and Princess Luna decide to retire and hand off the ruling of Equestria to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, which sends Twilight into a tailspin of self-doubt.

Det er ikke i orden at stoppe en serie der er så god håber at I skifter mening eller gid man kunne klage over det og der blev gjort noget ved det det er ikke ii orden dumme fjolser

I’m pretty agree with you. The series of mlp have to continue not come to an and. Like also there has been shown pinkie pie’s child even though there was no such romantic connection with her cheesy sandwich early. And also in the episode ‘Rarity Investigates’ when rainbow dash and rarity was sitting on bleachers then rainbow says to rarity ‘ If you weren’t here, I don’t know who I’d be talking to right now and then Soarin come and say ‘You’d be talking to mee. As if rainbow and soarin are such good buddies like constantly hanging out .
Anyway, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premiered on Sunday, October 10, 2010 on the launch of the American television network The Hub from Discovery Kids at 2:30 pm when I was 14 years old in 8th grade at Riverside Middle School in Mr. Tim Heyer’s class. I didn’t know the show premiered before it did at first, but now I do. And while I was watching Blue’s Clues Youtube Poop, I saw one of the main characters from the show, and she’s called Twilight Sparkle (voiced by the Canadian-American actress Tara Strong (nee Charendoff). I started watching that show… Read more »
I’m sorry, I mean it’s called “The Magic of Friendship Grows”.
I was sad when My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic ended on Saturday, October 12, 2019 during 90-minute prime-time series, consisting the last three episodes, titled “The Ending of the End – Part 1 & 2” and “The Last Problem”. I cried in happy tears when the last episode ended with a song in the key of E major called “The Magic of Grows”.
I am not really sure why they would end an animated show like this that has a huge fan base… shows like simpsons and south park have been running and continue to run for DECADES. Are they saying they can’t think up anything else for the ponies to do? Seriously?
NOOOOOO BRING MLP SEASON 10!!!! MLP is the only cartoon that’s actually good!!! PLEASEEE
