Origins of the Tree of Harmony (Shadow Play Spoilers) · 6:13pm Oct 12th, 2017
Well, we found out the origins of the Tree of Harmony- it grew from a seed created by Starswirl and the rest of the Pillars of Old Equestria sacrificing themselves, sealing themselves away with the Pony of Shadows.
And that officially puts the show and comics in conflict again as Starswirl found the tree in the comics.
That aside....am I the only a bit disappointed? The Tree has been built up by us fans into a mysterious, grand, and ancient thing as a counter balance for Discord, but now it was just made at the dawning of Equestria? Yes, epic, heroic sacrifice and all that, but still. It jus feels underwhelming.
Not to mention Discord being Star Swirl is officially off the table and must now be for AUs. -.- I'm going to be doing a lot of ignoring for this season finale.
Though, one upside, I can't wait for the Pillars to find out about Discord. (grins) I can only imagine what kind of havoc he put those seven through in the past, and now he's on their side.
Honestly, I recommend doing a bit of picking and choosing with MLP canon. The fan theories are MUCH cooler
Are you kidding me?
That's not a good origin. In my opinión.
