Talk:Earth ponies/@comment-75.82.51.1-20130210053250

Same guy as before, (the amon guy,) but I honestly have to say, I seriously feel for the earth ponies, they get the short end of the stick and it bugs me. Nobody has made an argument convincing me that there isn't a horrible, horrible inequality in the pony world.

So I'm going to have to resort to headcannon, god help me.

What if......

What if Earth ponies could train their "special" physical prowess and connection to the earth to the point where they have kung fu movie Xaolin monk powers.

Let's say.... drawing from a few sources. Ki-infused horse kicks? (like the palm of buddha from kung fu hustle, would be neat) maybe that's too much. Uh... Instead let's throw in super speed and jumping (provided they train hard enough, kung fu movie logic. Think like, Rock Lee-type abilities.)

For example, one of those old master monks of the earth pony school of fighting could jump from ponivilled to cloudsdale, hang out in cloudsdale a bit, then jump back? (I think a pony naturally in tune with the earth could perhaps train themselves to stand on clouds.)

Uh.. what else could they train up to... Controlling plants seems like an obvious one... but Unicorns and Pegasi already get all the cool, fancy powers related to altering/controlling nature.

Perhaps a natural resistence to magic, and with enough training, the ability to completely ignore the effects of magic? Think about that, that would be cool, a trained earth pony could render themselves completely uneffected by any unicorns' magic, and perhaps could act as a walking bullet shield in a magical battle.

I actually like that last one.

Pony sense (Pinkie sense, Pinkie just has an extremely developed one) seems like a good candidate as well... Lets see.

Flashier, funnerer Earth pony power candidates are:

1.Able to train themselved to be stronger and faster on land than any of the other races, near superhuman (superpony, I guess.) strength in that regard, (Hey, Big Mac could drag a house behind him.)

2.Spidey sense, (pinkie sense)

3. and an ability to resist or even completely resist magic (with enough training, I like to think magic of the natural earth could counterract that non-earth based magic.)

There we go, my stupid fannon rant made me feel better about the invisible pony racism bouncing around in my head.

Yay.
