When Luna was freed from Nightmare moon in the second episode of season one, she was weak making her hair normal like other ponies and her coat color light blue. To the ponies she seemed more applicable in that episode because of her light colors. But now that she has regained her strength her hair is wavey like her sister and a dark blue, her coat is also a darker shade of blue. She now looks a lot more like Nightmare moon than before when they first saw her. I think that's why they were afraid of her in this episode.
The reason Celestia probably doesn't use the Royal Canterlot Voice anymore was because it was doing just that, scaring her subjects, and she wanted to appear helpful, neutral and on their side. So we can probably assume she ceased that behavior fairly quickly before the 1,000 years of Nightmare Moon's banishment finished. ;P
In the 2nd episode Luna didn’t have a flowy mane, and now that she does, nopony recognizes her, and they only see her as Nightmare Moon since NMM also had a flowy mane
Season 2 certainly got off to an amazing start, didn't it? First Discord turns the world upside down, then Twilight goes bats#!^ crazy, and now Princess Luna returns!
1. 0:27 You chose a good episode for a late night recording, mate! :) 2. 2:00 Twilight: "I'm Starswirl the Bearded! Father of the amniomorphic spell...?" BBA: "I know exactly what that means." Then you must know how it makes Starswirl into a thinly veiled reference to Harry Potter (amniomorph = pot shaping) 3. 3:03 "Why, Pinkie? Why are you wearing a chicken outfit?" What, not random enough for you? 4. 3:36 "Hey, it's Big Mac! He's wearing a top hat, which looks rather cool." And he's hauling three mares around with him, which is the manliest display we've seen in this entire show. 5. 4:39 "Poor Spike. He is so screwed." Now that you mention it, he _did_ kind of look like he'd just been through a long night at Rarity's. ;) 6. 4:52 "What is _she_ wearing?!" You've never seen a scarecrow? 7. 5:43 Zecora: "Follow me and very soon, you'll hear the tale of Nightmare Moon." BBA: "That didn't rhyme. She didn't rhyme for a change." ...How tired were you when you recorded this? 8. 8:10 "Dose wings, dough." Luna was _really_ excited to be back in the show! ;) 9. 9:00 "Why is she talking in the third person? Or the second person?" Manners of speaking can change a lot in a thousand years. I wonder what _we_ would have sounded like in the 11th century. 10. 11:33 I heard the sounds of a goat, a sheep and at least one stallion coming from within Fluttershy's cottage. What kind of freaky stuff was she up to in there??? 11. 14:10 "I like (how) she doesn't even know what fun is." I think she understands the concept, but just doesn't know the word. In our English-speaking world, the word "fun" has only existed for about 350 years. 12. 17:54 Usually, when someone tackles you in a dark alley, covers your mouth and tells you not to scream, very bad things are about to happen. Pinkie Pie is lucky she's in a kids' show. 13. 19:03 Pinkie: "Sometimes, it's just really fun to be scared!" To some people, terror is another way to get an adrenaline rush. 14. 22:28 She who laughs last laughs best.
Every time when I tap on an episode I always forget a split second later what it it is. I guess that's what makes watching something or watching it again exciting for me. Especially when I'm watching it with someone else (specifically the reactor) which makes me feel better knowing that there is at least someone I actually feel comfortable around (by that I mean I'm twilight from the start of season 1).
When you say watch with the reactor, do you mean as in it feels like you are watching the episode with the reactor? or do you mean you like to watch reactors reactions with them?
I still feel like the way people react to Twilight's costume and her frustration at the lack of recognition are inspired by real life reactions to Doctor Who Halloween costumes previous to the show's 2005 relaunch.
Wait, did I hear that right? Star Swirl the Bearded created the anthropomorphic spell? That would mean he's the reason they talk and think the way they do
This is the episode that officially made me a Brony. Not for the story in the episode itself mind you, but because it made me think about the world of Equestria in a certain way. Since I´m kind of into the worldbuilder aspect of things in specific settings, this episode really set my mind on overdrive. A few ideas that popped up during my first view was; #1: How much Luna must have been affected from being away for a thousand years, not understanding the current customs of today. #2: How she probably made her entranced like it was expected from that long ago, including the royal canterlot voice. (sort of a repeat of #1 but whatever). #3: How did nighttime and the things that go bump in the night feel for the ponies a thousand years ago, did they feel like the darker things we now associate with terror and fright just feel natural for them since the Princess of the night protected them and kept them under control. These were just a few of the thoughts I had after this very episode (mostly directed at Princess Luna herself but I´m biased), so it did kind of make me obsessed about the show in question and voilà!, I became a Brony.
BronyBurningAxe You said in your reaction that shevdidn't rhyme there. I was just pointing out that she did. There's only ine or two t imes she doesn't and that's not one of them.
Just a friendly reminder that Luna is best Princess. But seriously though, as the series has gone on, Luna's been my favourite as is. While Celestia is now the 5th best Princess. Yes, I do know there are only 5 Princesses in Equestria :P
While this episode is pretty entertaining and the concept is interesting, there's so many continuity issues that makes it hard to enjoy as part of the overall story and characterisation. It feels like they invented this new Luna purely for this episode.
I know what you mean, they changed her design and everything, plus her voice, she didn't speak in the "Royal We" in Season 1. But none the less it is a brilliant episode and I like Lunas new design, and her current character in the show is awesome :D
BronyBurningAxe Agreed. It's just such a strange transition in this episode. I do prefer how she's presented here (older looking) compared to the brief S01E02 appearance, especially the voice. Considering that I don't think the executives really had any plans for her I can see why her character was in flux during this period. I feel like she was given greater prominence and a fresh appearance due to fan popularity. I actually remember how people were begging for more Luna back in 2011.
I partially agree, however I feel for Celestia, she had to banish her sister to the moon for 1,000 years, she had no choice, and then she had to rule Equestria by herself for 1,000 years, and not to mention lowering and raising the sun and moon, she would have lost a lot of sleep, and also being reminded of her the banishment she gave her sister every night she raised the moon. She is one strong pony, I couldn't do it.
My problem with Celestia is she's just not that interesting and even though she is being better represented in season 7 she'll probably always be 3rd best Princess to me.
"Starswirl The Bearded, father of the amniomorphic spell." I laughed throughout half of the episode the first time I heard that. It's the best joke in the history of humanity. After I calmed down a bit, I had to skip back to the beginning. Strange that so few people get the joke. "How does she come back if she was trapped in the moon for a thousand years?" Ghost stories. That's why. Nobody said that this story is true (and it actually isn't, just made up to scare). When the Royal Canterlot Wee was used back in the days, I wonder what Celestia sounded like. "Your Princess enjoys this... fun." And thus gamer Princess Luna was born. "The fun has been doubled." And now I wrote out an old meme. Hate me. "Why does she have to peck everything?" Convincing costumes require convincing acting. "Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm." Could have been a line from me. "Scary, but fun." I could say it, but you all probably already know. -Coppergears
Well To Each Their Own. If Cadence Is Your Best That's Cool. I'm Not Gonna Try And Change Your Opinion. Just Don't Try And Change Other Peoples Opinions Thanks^^
Even tho you most likely know now but dude you took the nightmare night legend too seriously lol. It's a LEGEND, ever since Nightmare Moon first formed 1,000 years ago they made nightmare night n that was the legend they told ponies to get them in the spooky mood. Just like how we have halloween legends n stories. They ponyville ponies thought she was nightmare Moon because she looks more like nightmare Moon then the first time they all saw her reformed and the way she was talking n acting. When she was defeated her power was weakened, when she gained her full strength her hair n stuff went like this (that or she just got older). Also also Celestia doesn't use the Royal Canterlotte voice because she wasn't the one who got sent to the moon for 1,000 YEARS and brought back into a whole different generation from when she was last on Earth.
I think they were scared of Luna because her apperance changed,and her mane kinda reminds them of Nightmare Moon.... Ps: You got a new subscriber from Austria ;D
Lol maybe haha. Thanks! :D btw these are all re-uploads in case you are confused at one point. The current episode I am on is Season 5 Episode 3. But I had to remove all my videos for copyright issues. So I am now re-uploading the videos :)
This episode treats Pinkie as if she was right, no she wasnt lmao. They were being rude and disrespectful to Luna not only as a ruler but as a pony in general. Ya gotta explain it to Luna first
Yes Luna needs more episodes, but Celestia needs some too. Well, I'd like to see an episode with both of them, where we get to know them better in a casual themed environment or something like that.
***** I agree on Celestia as well, I wanna see an episode where it's just those two in their day to day lives ruling Equestria from their point of view :D
To bad this episode was like 1 to 3 years late of recent solar eclipse. I’m guessing the title puns on. But at night not in the morning. Correct me is I’m wrong on what the title Is.

Or right after the banishment started to help calm down her subjects
To answer your question, the "rules" about Nightmare Night might've been made as a sort of legend
In the 2nd episode Luna didn’t have a flowy mane, and now that she does, nopony recognizes her, and they only see her as Nightmare Moon since NMM also had a flowy mane
I guess that could have been the reason

I think this will really date me but, the pony with the shark on his butt is a reference to the first Jaws movie.
Oh my stars, is Pipsqueak super adorable.
Yeah he is :D
"Bet she shrieks, how much you wanna bet"
5,000 bits
That's a lot of bits XD
I don't think Nightmare moon would scare me she is basically a tall adorably evil plushie scaring smaller adorable plushies. :P
"Fluttershy Shouting"
SHE'S FLUTTERSHOUT!!!!
Its amazing how this generation of mlp has changed many lives. And its about over. Damn.
Well I'm more than positive that next generation will do the same :)
One more season to go, so make it count!
Luna is my favorite princess :)
Twilight is my fave character in the whole show :3 Twifu is best Waifu! XD
Yes indeed , Twilight & Pinkie Pie are tied for my favorite of the mane 6 , with Fluttershy taking the number two spot.

It feels like I was watching it with the reactor. I was going to type that but it was going to sound weird
YES SHE DID SHE SAID SOON AND MOOOOOON
how in the hell, she spoke so different as nightmare moon and not so old timey, she even said "you kidding right?"
The writers just decided to change her character when they brought her back for Season 2, even how she looks is different.
I still feel like the way people react to Twilight's costume and her frustration at the lack of recognition are inspired by real life reactions to Doctor Who Halloween costumes previous to the show's 2005 relaunch.
Lol yeah XD
Wait, did I hear that right? Star Swirl the Bearded created the anthropomorphic spell? That would mean he's the reason they talk and think the way they do
It was not a plot hole - To them, Nightmare Moon was just a story to scare children
Yeah I know that now :)
Derpy's costume is the best.
u agn
Paper Bag
6:35 She was obviously being used like the Boogey Man as a legend to scare small children.
At least it wasn’t scootaloo who was in the chicken costume.
