    Hello to everyone who’s found me through this video! This was actually my first time making a video talking about MLP, and I wasn’t really sure how it would be received, so thank you very much for all your kind comments! 💖

    It’s kind of sad how you have to read the IDW comics nopony talks about the G. M. Berrow novels you can only find in the middle of juvenile fiction at the library to fully grasp Cadance’s character. She is far from my favorite character, but she is a great one nonetheless and pretty underrated. I wish we saw more of her and her backstory in the show.

    I don’t know if there is a Canon answer for why Prince Blueblood is Celestia and Luna’s nephew, but my personal theory is that he is like one of the last descendants of the original unicorn monarchy from a hearths warming tale. He’s the last descendant of Princess Platinum

    • @chobusmin8202

    I think the inconsistency regarding Twilight not recognizing Cadance at first might be because either Twilight only ever knew Cadance by the latter name and not her full name, or Twilight got so used to calling Cadance by the latter name that she forgot what Cadance's full name was. Both are equally possible. Not to mention, Twilight did say herself that she was having trouble staying in touch with her brother in the Canterlot Wedding episode. Not directly, but it was somewhere along those lines. It's actually the same thing with Applejack and Coloratura. Applejack didn't recognize Coloratura's name until Pinkie showed her Coloratura's cutie mark. Long names are easily forgettable, but nicknames are easier to remember.

    I’m really upset we didn’t get more screentime and interactions from Princess Cadance. She had a great introduction, and definitely proved herself worthy of her Princess title. I loveee her backstory in the chapter books, and I love how sweet, and caring she is. The saltiest I’ve ever been is when she made an appearence in the finale, but didn’t join them for the final fight. I wanted to see her and Chrysalis banter in a fight, and would’ve loved to see her lead her subjects to wage against the terrible trio, especially since their whole thing is that they’re filled with love.

    IDC what anyone else says, Cadence is best princess. Who else of the royal alicorns can 1. Run a kingdom as an actual Queen rather than a princess, (even though she still keeps the title of Princess), 2. Has a significant other ruling alongside them and assisting them consistently, and 3. Be a caring, attentive mother to a baby alicorn, and a damn good one at that?

    I feel that Discord is also a mysterious characters. We know pretty much nothing of his backstory…
    Where is he from? How did he get his powers? Is he the only one of his species? How does he exist? Was he born as the lord of Chaos? Does he have some relation to the devil? Was he created in a freak accident? Where did he get his powers from? Is he god? Is he satan? How old is he? Did he know Celestia as a child? Can he move between realities and universes? Was he around when Equestria/Earth was made?

      in the comics we don't really get a glimpse of his backstory but we know the title of "Lord of Chaos" is because he manipulated everyone's memories in the past to believe the deeds of the Lord of Malice, Cosmos, were his because Cosmos was so wicked and so dangerous, even Discord thought it was better for her to be forgotten. At first Discord just liked playing harmless pranks but since he did that, everyone thought he was some sort of evil deity that would try to harm them, which forced him to self isolate and made him bitter toward the rest of the world.

    Fun fact: There is an alternative version of cadence that is evil in the MLP IDW reflection comics. In the alternative universe she's the princess of hate and her cutie mark is a broken crystal heart. It's also stated that in this alternative universe, she's the most evil and most powerful among evil Celestia and Luna. It's also hinted that she may have a transformation similar to Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker but sadly it's never mentioned again and we never get to see it.

  • @fiveythefox3318
    @fiveythefox3318 14 дней назад +27

    Calling her a cash grab is beyond unreasonable in my opinion; She does give off marketable toys energy but her design and personality in both the IDW and show can easily put her in top tier with the other princesses for being a nod to the original color pallet of mlp toys and the fact she did parkour in a mind shaft to find her true love while being badly hurt physically and mentally. She is also a wonderful mother let us not forget whom she is raising?!?

    From the theories I read, the long-flowing mane (that the other princesses have ) is directly dependent on how much magic the pony in question has, this is why Mistmane (who isn't an alicorn) had the same flowing hair as Celestia, Luna, and (later on) Twilight.

  • @art-eroflore
    @art-eroflore 15 дней назад +20

    Although I would love to have concrete Cadance backstory, I do think kids shows are stronger when they leave the world a little mysterious. That way, kids playing with the toys can come up with their own backstories for the characters and play those out. Also kids who haven't seen every episode just need a grasp on Cadance's personality to start playing with her toys.
    (I do think she was designed to sell toys, but so was the whole franchise, and I'm a fan of the 80s cartoons and toys too so I've made my peace with that- she doesn't have to be a bad character just because she was made to sell toys!)
    I preferred earlier on in the show when they didn't flesh out as many non-pony species, kingdoms, ancient ponies- I love worldbuilding lore, but it began to feel a bit tangled even for me.

    I'm just a bit confused about the whole "why is flurry heart an alicorn" question, because, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it obvious that it's due to Cadance being the only one out of the four known alicorns in the whole series to actually give birth? Perhaps if the other alicorns did too, they'd also give birth to alicorn babies.

    I saw on one YT short about a theory that cadence could have originated from a previous princess. The video is titled "Is princess Cadence a reincarnation" and it goes over a comic backstory for Sombra and the princess at the time Princess Amore. And how she died but it was possible she could be put back together. Then comes our cadence or princess Mi Amore Cadenza. With similar names and similar cutie marks. Idk it's an interesting thought.

    @NobodyUndefined 14 дней назад +20

    I love Cadence so much, she was my favorite character growing up. I think it's such a shame that her lore in the story is so scarce and what we do have is unreliable and not exactly canon. Like those comics don't make sense, supposedly Twilight got babysat by Candence BECAUSE Shining wanted to date her and Twilight knew Cadence loved her brother. And then they get together and become a couple, which Twilight probably knew about as they get together after Cadence babysits her ONCE and it's pretty much confirmed that she babysat her a lot so Twilight would've known. So then in Canterlot wedding, why did Twilight flip out about her brother marrying a princess? Like his high school sweetheart was a princess, it's insulting to imply that Twilight wouldn't put 2 and 2 together. And on top of that Canterlot wedding doesn't make sense in of itself because Twilight isn't stupid, she's close to Celestia and should be aware that there are only 3 Princesses and that Cadence is one of them.

      She understands eventually. She was just confused at first because they referred to her as "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza". Then, Shining Armor says...Twilight, that's Cadence. And she understands. It makes sense she wouldn't know her full name, as she was just a foal and it's easier for a kid to say and remember one name instead of a long one. She doesnt seem shocked after she knows it's Cadence, just excited. So it would still make sense regarding her helping them get together. She could have been thinking he was marrying someone else and didnt tell her he broke up with Cadence, or maybe they did break up or lose touch for a bit, and they didnt tell her they recently got back together.

    the unfortunate situation with the comics is that the more I look into it, the more Im finding reason to believe that secondary education is not really a thing in Equestria. (all the more reason to put Cadence with the anxious Twilight as a foalsitter)
    I mean, the most damning thing is how both Spike and Twilight are clueless about highschool in Equestria Girls. (Maybe Twilight would be oblivious from specialty education, but Spike knows his shit)
    but literally the ONLY direct highschool reference in the show itself that I can find?
    Fluttershy's drawing of pony Revolutionary Girl Utena, and how real is pony anime???
    Even the friendship school doesn't teach additional fundamental curriculum, its all just friendship.
    So that's Neigh Anything, one of the curest pieces of pony comics, basically invalidated.
    This is why I honestly wish the comics had just been their own take on g4 from the start. There's some fundamentally different ideas from the show that's a ton of fun on their own, but break when put under the pressure of the insane volume of G4 lore.

    The other day I was scrolling through the wiki fandom pages for the show. I found Cadence's. I'm not sure if it is reliable or not but it goes into the comics as well as the show. According to this wiki page, Cadence is apparently distantly related to Princess Amore and Amore was the last ruler of the Crystal Empire before Sombra took over. I don't know if there is a time line for how long Sombra was in control or how much time had passed between when Amore ruled and when Cadence took over. If this is true, there's still a lot of unknown questions. How many generations were in between the two and how exactly are they related? Like if Amore had relatives, what happened to them? How were they able to continue the family tree? Could these ponies relation to Amore be a part of why Cadence was abandoned as a young pegasus? The shift of princesses is also pretty interesting. In present Equestria, to be a princess it has to be earned, but back then, it was through relations. In the early ages of Equestria, the two princesses we are aware of were both unicorns, these unicorns being Amore and Platinum. But as soon as Celestia and Luna became Alicorns was when the idea that only alicorns were princesses and suddenly Cadence also became an alicorn. If the idea of her being related to Amore is canon, maybe her becoming an alicorn was always meant to happen to fit with the modernized idea of what type of pony is a princess? Cadence's cutie mark does resemble the Crystal Heart. If Cadence is distantly related to Amore, maybe that is why her cutie mark is what it is and why her talent is tied to love as the Crystal Empire lore is tied to love as well and also why she was placed in charge of the Crystal Empire? I don't know if any type of media ever explained why Cadence was suddenly taking over the Crystal Empire, but it could be speculated that either the kingdom just needed somepony to lead them or maybe there could have been a deeper meaning.

    All I'll say is that out of all the Alicorn princesses, Cadence never got anywhere near as much love as Celestia and Luna. And I too can understand why she got so much hate because she was such an out of nowhere character just like Shining Armor both of whom people believed should've been mentioned at some point in either season 1 or early on in season 2.

    I don't think that flurry heart was the first naturally born aliucorn because i find it improbable that both Celestia and luna being sister were chosen.
    Point:
    1. Both celestia and luna lack the ability to communicate with ordinary ponys which celestia openingly admited to never doing.
    2. They are too old, if we go by their age then both twilight and furry heart should both be around by the time of new generation

    • @purplepartytigerd1598
      @purplepartytigerd1598 10 дней назад +3

      Been working on an MLP story for probably about seven years now. I started it with the goal of creating my own history for a lot of the grey areas in MLP canon.
      Current backstory for Celestia and Luna is they were born in a distant city of alicorns (now lost). Ponies there were born as unicorns or pegasi, and had to earn what they lacked themselves (instead of, for example, being given wings like Twilight.) And sometimes a full alicorn would be born.
      Celestia and Luna were taken away from this place at a very young age, so they don't recall much about it.
      I'm sure a lost city of alicorns is an idea that's already been used somewhere, but it's become too engrained in my story to change it now.

    20:10 that's a fun theory, but it doesn't make much sense to me. i've always assumed that the flowing manes were associated with their magic power. for example, mistmane has flowing hair as a pillar and she isn't an alicorn. when luna is transformed back from nightmare moon, and her power is drained, she loses the flowing mane. twilight didn't gain flowing hair until the finale too. i like the idea that pegasi get fun wings though! thats so cute

    Of all the pony characters in my little pony friendship is magic, Cadance is my favourite along with Twilight, sort of Fluttershy, and Starlgiht after she reformed, but my favourite character is Spike just because I find him cute a lot. Just not all the episodes though anyways. Twilight is also the pony that took care of him too (well sort of Princess Celestia too as mentioned in the comic story of when Twilight tells the other main five of how she got Spike), which I’m also thinking (this is mainly based off some fan fiction stories about Spike), that Twilight and Celestia were kind of adoptive mothers to him (even though it was confirmed in sparkle’s seven that they are adoptive siblings, I still think Twilight and Spike are adoptive mother and son along with Celestia too) which is why I consider Twilight my favourite as well. But anyways back to Cadance, after watching the season 4 episode, Equestria games (which is now mainly my favourites of the episodes), I feel like there should’ve been more episodes with Spike and Cadance together after the third time that they were together, which is times they are a changeling just because I agree the second one with them wasn’t that good due to Spike being whatever and also since Twilight and Cadance get along, they should’ve had a bit more for Spike with her too next to Twilight. Also (in some other fan fiction stories with Spike and Cadance together), it was likely that Candace also foal sitted Spike as well, some time after Twilight hatched him and was of course at the school for gifted unicorns.
