there's a dedicated flag to S1 Luna

I think it's fair to point out that Luna Eclipsed has basically no connection to the pilot of the show other than reusing the same design. An obscure myth becomes a beloved holiday, a scared little filly who speaks like anypony else becomes a big mare (for you) who's overdramatic and can't figure out modern Equestria. If you watched the two back to back you'd be baffled. I still enjoy the episode but once I had it pointed out to me I felt a little silly for not noticing it myself.

>>43127008
It's interesting that all instances of NMM after pilot have her speaking in normal language (see, for example, Cutie Re-mark)
as a guy who likes her being ye olde autist this saddens me

>>43127012 (cont.)
like, it doesn't really make sense that Luna is behind on modern English while Nightmare Moon has no problems in that regard

>>43127016
She banished Celestia and stayed around. Surely she had all the time in the world to catch up.

>>43127171
why would Nightmare catch up when she can force others to speak her tongue?

>>43127012
It’s been said that the ye olde English may be her way of coping or finding some familiarity in a new Equestria. Similar to the Luna x Abacus fanon

S1 Luna was way cuter and her voice was cuter too, but I can accept if they had to make her look more like Celestia's younger sister. I prefer S1 Luna and Celestia with a pink mane instead of green rainbow swishy slop.

Princess Celestia looks more like the other ponies without a floating cloud that waves like a flag in the wind for a mane. She still looks like a regal princess that all the other ponies bow to.

S1 luna will always and forever be in my heart as the best pony and design they had. When i first saw her i already knew she was the one.
Then they changed her... and while I accept it, i will never forget her.

Twilight's original design looks just like the twilight sky, and they made her a purple pink creature for little girl toys.

My source on this is some half-remembered hearsay, so stop me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the case that Luna was never really meant to be re-appear? As in, defeating Nightmare Moon was originally supposed to have her be gone for good? Luna being completely undeveloped in S1, and the total redesign in S2, both make more sense if so.

>after fall of NMM it's second half in preparation for Discord
Luna not being present after NMM's defeat does make sense when you don't want to waste any time on an already passed story arc

Lol, the creepypasta Luna games were one of my first exposures to ponies

pretty sure I remember S1 Luna's design was (according to Faust, which even she says is if she was still involved) was due to the fact she was drained of all her magic after being possessed by Nightmare Moon for so long.

still, I love S1 Luna's design.

I'm pretty sure that's just her clever way to explain the retcon'd design

perhaps. either makes better sense than Hasbro or one writer getting lazy and deciding Luna should look darker and semi spookier.

Not really? We don't know how long it was since the NMM's return and the events of Cutie Re-mark, but considering there were two Hearthswarming episodes between them, they most likely take place a bit over 2 years apart. That's definitely not enough time for her to completely leave behind the marenisms, especially considering she'd spend a lot of that time busy ruling over Equestria. At the very least, she should not be better at it than Luna, who had the same amount of time, while only being responsible with taking care of dreams.

>>43126992
No, it really was an overreaction. Sure the whole "ye olde english thing" was a bit cringe and it would have been interesting to see Luna getting her full power back onscreen, rather than suddenly getting a new design, but it wasn't that big of a deal and, personally, I prefer the updated design.

have a soft spot for loony luna. dude behind it however only updates sporadically and even then he had rebooted the damn blog like maybe two-three times. first time was the normal posting, then he rebooted it to make it a wannabe Homestuck blog, and then made it some real world/equestria-like storyline that only updates when it can.

kinda feels like Luna should have been more of a friendship problem for Twilight Sparkle

I still can't think of a good reason for Luna to chimp out and nearly destroy the world because she wanted the moon to be out 24/7, go to gay baby jail for 1000 fucking years, return and try to do it again and get pwned by an autistic girl who just discovered what friendship is and then everyone suddenly forgives Luna and loves her. The best I can do is believe that Luna was truly a villain but realized she can't fight worth shit so once she was defeated she just pretended she was possessed by evil Nightmare Moon magic and that she's totally chill now.

I don't dislike her S2 design, but I would've preferred if they kept S1 Luna up until S3 at least, and then by S4 change it to what we see now. Since that season is a soft reboot, it would've made more sense to change it then.
