Talk:Magical Mystery Cure/@comment-108.69.48.246-20130320044549

Greetings, fillies and gentlecolts. I have been stalking this comments section in particular for quite some time, and while I usually tend to keep to myself, there is one particular detail that won't stop irking me. Before I begin, I would like to introduce myself. You do not know me, but there are some who call me... Tim. Pleasure to meet you all. Now then, onward to my critique.

It has been repeated a few times within this comments section that Twilight Sparkle is confirmed to stay in Ponyville. While none of these posts provided any links to back the claim up, I'm going to assume that you're referring to Tara Strong's tweet on the matter. If I'm mistaken and you're referring to an alternate source, feel free to link me to it.

At any rate, I take up issue with this so-called "confirmation" for three reasons:

1. Remember this tweet from The Hub? http://derpicdn.net/media/W1siZiIsIjIwMTIvMTEvMDkvMjFfMzFfNTRfNzUzXzE0Njk0Nl9fVU5PUFRfXyJdXQ/146946__safe_twilight-sparkle_text_alicorn_princess-twilight_spoiler-s03_twitter_tara-strong_hilarious-in-hindsight_50f88f31a4c72df50b000135.png

Well, as we all know, The Hub turned out to be wrong, as Twilicorn was, in fact, confirmed. Therefore, I would like to stress that tweets are an unreliable source, regardless of who they come from.

2. Tara never specifically said that Twilight would stay in Ponyville; just that she would "not leave her friends". For all we know, she and her friends could all wind up living together in Canterlot from this point on. Also, Tara is a troll. Can we really believe her? This further reduces the claim's credibility.

3. Tara is not on the writing staff; she's just a voice actress. Does that give her more inside information than us? Yes. Does that mean she's heavily involved in the storyboard writing that goes into every episode? Absolutely not.

Conclusion: Wait for an official announcement from DHX that does NOT come from Twitter before you get too comfortable. As far as I'm concerned, it's still up in the air as to whether or not Twilight will truly stay in Ponyville.
