I've got an assignment for my English class for analyzing a character from a popular media franchise, and I chose to pick Luna since she probably has one of the most prominent arcs in MLP, if somebody would be willing to compile a list of all the Luna centered (or at least where she's a main character) episodes, it would be greatly appreciated.
Okay so I was watching Luna Eclipsed right after watching the the first two episodes of season one(I'm on a bit of a Luna kick right now.), and I noticed that there are two completely different Lunas in My Little Pony: Freindship is Magic. Why? O.o I kindof have a basic idea of the reasoning, but I am still utterly lost and confused after we see cute little pastel blue Luna and then all of a sudden shes almost black agaun and has the NightMare Moon mane and tail again. What the hay is going on here?
There are two Luna's because, when she was imprisoned inside the moon for millions of years she returned as Nightmare Moon. Then when she was defeated by the Elements of Harmony which freed her from her corrupt evil self. She became the same size as Celestia episodes later.
Y'all need to stop drop and look at the pictures I posted. The only difference aside from mane amd tail length and her colors is that shes slightly skinnier. Wavy mane has nothing to do with being a princess. Just look at Cadance. And it really is only a few months. Think about it. Every couple episodes is the end or beggining of a week based off of the ponies' dialogue. That would put it at around twenty weeks a season and that BARELY over three months. There is NO WAY aging is involved.
Well actually judging from the way she looks in the episode Luna is actually shorter then she normally is aswell, why her mane suddenly changes and her skin color even changes are a little more strange, but regardless I'm pretty bent on the fact she aged.
And between S1 and S2 they also had basically atleast a full year cycle or so of stuff due to the fact that the seasons shown in the episodes basically cycle around atleast once. Even if the episodes all seem to take place near the begging or end of the week, who knows exactly when. It could have been next week or 3 weeks from the last episode or maybe even months, heck the episodes could not be in chronological order at all really. And considering the fact the episodes are all mostly written by different writers that entirely possible to.
I think that the pastel Luna you saw in the season 1 episodes were her teenage stage as an alicorn princess since her banishment has prevented her from ageing. Now the Luna in Luna Eclipsed, I think she's become a young adult and NASA more translucent mane and tail that ripples and sparkles just like Celestia's. don't worry, Faust said that when Luna is grown up, she WILL NOT look like Nightmare Moon.
Eva Luna is a 2010 telenovela produced by Venevisión International in collaboration with Univision Studios, starring Blanca Soto and Guy Ecker as the main protagonists, and Julian Gil and Susana Dosamantes as the main antagonists. It is a remake of Telemundo's 1997 telenovela Aguamarina. Univision aired Eva Luna weeknights at 8pm/7pm central from November 1, 2010 to April 11, 2011, and a TV-14 rating was applied for all episodes. Mexico's Canal de las Estrellas aired Eva Luna from September 19, 2011 to January 6, 2012.[2][3][4]
In some native american folklore the luna moth is associated with rebirth and spiritual guidance. Similarly in celtic mythology the luna moth is associated with the fae, and is seen as a symbol of rebirth and magic. It really does seem that throughout the world and history these moths have held a special place in the eye of those who see it.
Princess Luna is introduced in the prologue of the first episode, depicted in a series of medieval-style drawings with a narration that says, "Two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land," and that "the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night."
Following the prologue, Twilight Sparkle reads of a prophecy about the Mare in the Moon that states that "on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape, and she will bring about nighttime eternal." Indeed, this prophecy comes to pass, and Nightmare Moon appears before the ponies of Ponyville during the Summer Sun Celebration. At the end of the second episode, Twilight and her new friends confront Nightmare Moon and transform her back into Princess Luna with the Elements of Harmony, and she remorsefully accepts Princess Celestia's offer to rule by her side again.
In the season two episode Luna Eclipsed, Princess Luna appears during Ponyville's annual celebration of Nightmare Night, where ponies dress up in costumes and go door-to-door collecting candy. Luna wishes to join in the festivities, but her extravagant entrance, booming voice, and archaic way of speaking give the wrong impression, scaring nearly everyone she meets. Twilight Sparkle attempts to help, but her methods only alienate Luna from her subjects further and make them more afraid of her.
Luna makes cameo appearances in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 1, Luna takes over the night shift from her sister after flying in silhouetted by the moon, and later tells Twilight to remain inside after spotting her running towards the castle. She appears again in the end of Part 2, when she flies in greeting everyone and asking if she missed anything. Luna dances with the other ponies after Pinkie Pie and DJ Pon-3 start the wedding party music which concludes the episode.
In the season three finale Magical Mystery Cure, Luna appears near the end of the episode alongside her sister and Princess Cadance, attending the coronation of Twilight Sparkle as a Princess. She can be seen wearing a dress and more ornate, elaborate versions of her crown, shoes, and collar. It is also revealed that the book Luna had produced at the end of The Crystal Empire was the journal of Star Swirl the Bearded, which contained an unfinished spell that Celestia believed Twilight to be capable of completing.
Luna makes appearances in Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1 and Part 2. In Part 1, while Princess Celestia speaks to Twilight about the Summer Sun Celebration, Luna is seen on a nearby castle balcony, happily raising the moon. During the episode, she is captured off-screen by black vines growing out of the Everfree Forest. When Twilight drinks a potion given to her by Zecora, she is transported into a castle, where she encounters Luna. Luna proclaims that she will be the only princess in Equestria, and she undergoes a transformation into Nightmare Moon, much to Twilight's horror.
In Sparkle's Seven, Celestia tasks Shining Armor with increasing security to Canterlot Castle, but Luna thinks she and Celestia should be able to protect the castle themselves. As revealed in a flashback at the end of the episode, she is approached by Spike, who notices her dissatisfaction with Shining Armor being brought in to increase security, and agrees to help him get the crown in exchange for his assistance in sabotaging the competition.
Princess Luna returned to the show exactly one year after the broadcast date of Friendship is Magic, part 2, in the episode Luna Eclipsed. The episode takes place in Ponyville during Nightmare Night. Despite wanting to win over the citizens of Ponyville, the townspeople are frightened of her booming voice and assertive manner. Twilight Sparkle tells Spike that Luna must be having trouble adjusting after being gone for a thousand years.
In the episode Sleepless in Ponyville, she displays kindness and offers wise advice to Scootaloo when she tells her to face her fears. At the end of the episode she gives Scootaloo a wink and a smile, as she knows that Scootaloo has faced her fears and she also knows that she has Rainbow Dash to help her overcome them.
In For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils, Luna once again appears in a nightmare; this time, in Sweetie Belle's nightmare. She gives advice to Sweetie Belle and tells her that she as well has a sister that often "shines more brightly" than her and that she struggles with it. She then takes Sweetie Belle into the past at her fifth birthday party and shows her that Rarity did not want to take over the party, just simply save it. Later, Luna tells Sweetie to go inside a door of what the future might hold if she does not fix her sabotage of the headpiece Rarity had designed for Sapphire Shores. Later in the episode, Luna appears again in Canterlot in order to help Sweetie Belle undo the damage she did to the headpiece.
In the episode Hearth's Warming Eve, Spike narrates that this magic is not exclusive to Luna and Celestia and that it could be performed by the unicorns of old collectively. In Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, Luna temporarily transfers her ability to control the moon, along with all of her magic, to Twilight Sparkle.
In Luna Eclipsed, Luna transforms into her Nightmare Moon form with a set of false fangs to playfully frighten some foals on Nightmare Night. In the same episode, she transforms toy spiders into living spiders.
Nightmare Moon uses lightning to repel the royal guards in Friendship is Magic, part 2 and thickens the mist over the fallen bridge later in the episode to prevent Rainbow Dash from hearing Twilight Sparkle calling out to her.
Princess Luna appears in the Friendship is Magic storybook adaptation of the episodes Friendship is Magic, part 1 and Friendship is Magic, part 2, which is included in the Friendship is Magic Gift Set and Pony Friends Forever Pony Scooter Friends Daisy Dreams & Rarity bundles. Here, she is called by her early names "Princess Selena" and "Night Mare," and she does not physically appear in the Castle of the Two Sisters.[17]
