Post by: AvestheForumFox on March 07, 2011, 08:16:15 PM
So before you go "But Fox, why My Little Pony? its so giiiirly!" please watch these two music videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o3TTuGrYuQ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o3TTuGrYuQ)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJhWrqI6Qvk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJhWrqI6Qvk)

Now that your minds have been blown, let me explain...
For those who have been living under a rock (much like myself up until a few nights ago) this brand new cartoon primiered months ago and due to its brilliant style in art and storytelling it has spawned a massive fanbase of all ages and genders.

Even the likes of 4chan celebrates this show as something spectacular (just use googleimage and look up the show for a huge gallery of memes and funny pictures created for teh lulz and of course 'pony love')

When I first heard about it, I thought the forum thread that I was reading was some kind of sick troll thread, but alas, I was wrong! And thusly I was gradually converted into what is called a broney (bro+pony=brony)

The first video above was my first introduction to the cartoon and after I had seen it I felt the need to see more of it.. I was.. hooked... Of all things, I never expected to become a fan of such a thing as My Little Pony (dont worry, Istill prefer to keep my dignity and not buy the toys :p )... but alas, I fell for the trap, and now I feel obligated to spread the word.

Almost every forum I visit on a normal basis has a thread about it (except this one) so indeed, enjoy what you see here!

Wow...who could've guessed My Little Pony could actually be...epic? Dare I say it? That first video was actually pretty cool! I think I'll watch the second video later(I keep getting an error message).

...wow.

My one word for that is...epic. Who would've thought that My Little Pony could be so...enjoyable. After I saw this I wanted to see what the episodes were like and I've watched the first one and so far it's great.

I'm familiar with this show. The show's creator, Lauren Faust, is responsible for The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. I've seen some episodes and I do like this show. Lauren Faust created a MLP that is still intended for girls, but it isn't watered down like some girl shows tend to be (such as the CGI MLP released years back). Instead, she offers a girls' show that still has conflict, adventure, peril, etc.

One of my favorite characters is Rarity. She is obsessed with fashion and is a designer herself. But she isn't an airhead or self-centered. She is actually quite generous and does care about her friends. In the second episode, she cuts off her own tail and puts it on a sea serpent (whose mustache was hacked off) so he would feel better.

I watched the first episode on Youtube and I have to say I actually like what I've seen. The art is cute, the ponies are a lot of fun, the humor's witty and funny and it's got a BABY DRAGON!  My favorite character is Twilight Sparkle.

Here's my little dilemma, I am one of the biggest haters of the past My Little Pony.  To give a new version that goes in a new direction with something I normally hate a chance is something difficult for me.  My little pet peeve of the past show is going to be yelling at me while I watch this.  What did I hate so much about the old show? *sighs* Where do I start?

*goes to watch episode one*

I have given the opening two-parter a watch and I have only one thing to say...

What have they done with this show?  Seriously, this is the kind of show I enjoy!  The creator of The Powerpuff Girls found a way to make one of the biggest haters around of the old show actually LIKE the new one?

Hang on! *checks on something* No, the world's not ending.  That's the only time I expected this to happen.

So yeah, one of the biggest haters of the old My Little Pony actually likes the new one.  Shocker! :blink:

I can't quite put my finger on it, but I recognize Twilight's voice from somewhere.  I just can't figure it out.  Who plays her?  Seriously, I know the voice.

I thought I recognized her.  I knew the creator would stick in at least one of the voices from The Powerpuff Girls in this thing.  However, it did sound more like Ingird Third from Filmore than Bubbles, which might have been what threw me off in the first place.

I haven't done all of the episodes yet, but even though I do enjoy the show, I must sadly nitpick a little here.

To be honest, even though all of the episodes have been good and well made, the opening two-parter was the most enjoyable for me.  I sadly haven't found any episode to be as good or well made.  It's like they grabbed us in with the beginning of the story and then got lazy on the rest of it.

Still, it's just me nit-picking.  It's a good show, but they could do better.

Post by: DarkHououmon on March 11, 2011, 01:35:02 PM
From what I understand, this is because the rest of the eps have a different director than the first 2. I was disappointed in this as well, but it's not enough to kill the show for me.

Post by: Amaranthine on March 11, 2011, 07:37:28 PM
I just saw a few episodes of this. It's pretty cute! :D

My favorite one of the main cast is definitely Fluttershy, I feel that I can relate to her the most with her love towards animals and all around social awkwardness. ^^

However...who I REALLY like is the little Cutie Crusader girls. Especially Sweetie Belle, she reminds me a lot of myself as far as writing and lyrics go. :)

I have yet to see the full fledged pilot episodes, but I bes looking them up right now.

So the creator of a Land Before Time fan forum wont even give this other little cartoon a chance because of its scary girlish history and the uber kawaii Powerpuff Girl design?  :blink:

Come on Adam! You must at least give one episode a try!

You must do it for great justice!

Post by: DarkHououmon on March 13, 2011, 10:13:45 AM
Just because a cartoon has a really cutesy design (like in Powerpuff Girls) doesn't mean it's a bad show. In fact, behind that design can lie a good story, well developed characters, etc. Trust me, don't let the cutesy design fool you.

Give the first two episodes a watch. It's not going to kill you. If you don't like the show after the first two eps, then don't watch it anymore. But don't knock the show before giving it a watch.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: LBTDiclonius on March 13, 2011, 05:23:23 PM
I agree, even though it does have designs that aren't exactly the best, it has great characters, plots, and pretty nice morals.

And the first two episodes are just awesome, they have to be my favorites, like Darkhoumon said, it won't kill you to watch them, and if you don't like it after, just don't watch the rest of it then.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 14, 2011, 02:57:17 PM
You know that pet peeve of mine for the old show?  Yep, it's still yelling at me whenever I watch one of these new episodes.  It makes it difficult for me to enjoy something I know I like.

So, I decided that while I'm busy struggling, I should put up in order which of the main ponies I like most.

1: Rainbow Dash

2: Applejack

3: Twilight Sparkle

4: Fluttershy

5: Pinkie Pie

6: Rarity


To be honest though, this might change a little.  Fluttershy is really surprising me.  When I think I finally got her down, she does something that ends up making me like her more.  At this point, she's very close to beating Twilight for me.

However, she'll NEVER beat Rainbow Dash and Applejack.  I just love them too much. :D

Now, to get back to the episode that's mainly focusing on Rarity. *looks at list again* Hmm!  Maybe that explains why I'm having trouble with this episode.  Oh well! :)

If you like Fluttershy now, I know you'll love her when you see the episode where she babysits The Cutie Mark Crusaders.  Seriously, the plot alone called for nothing but disaster.

Okay... I'm just gonna say this... It all started with me finding out my subscriptions on YouTube making YTPs out of the show. Then curiosity got the better of me and I started watching the pilot episode and a few more episodes after that.

...it was then I realized that this show has made me more manly than before. Addiction initiated.

That is all.

Watched a few episodes to give it a try...still a no-go.  Definitely is more epic as you guys put it and less conservative than the older show in regards to mannerisms.  Still isn't something I'm going to watch regularly.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 20, 2011, 08:21:12 PM
Pinkie Pie, you are REALLY pushing it to hit the bottom of my list.

Seriously, practically stalking someone for nearly the whole episode, I do not approve of.  Which is sadly what she did to Twilight in the latest episode.

Oh, and the new saying I apparently didn't like, even though I get it.

Pinkie Pie: "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

:slap

It's all that needs to be said.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on March 20, 2011, 08:44:48 PM
I've seen some clips of Pinkie Pie stalking Rainbow Dash and personally I found it hilarious. No I don't think stalking in real life is hilarious. The reason I found it funny was because of how she would trot after Rainbow Dash slowly even though the pegasus is going at mach speed, and how she would appear with Rainbow Dash no matter how hard Rainbow Dash tries to get away from her.

Pinkie Pie's one of my favorite characters. I think she's just adorable and I like her bubbly personality. She probably does know that she annoys some of the other ponies, I'm sure. As for her stalking, until I see more episodes that prove otherwise, I think this is partly due to her being extremely (on an abnormal level I'd say) social. I mean the girl had thrown a party in Twilight's home, inviting everyone, without her permission after meeting her only once, for instance.

The kind you are pointing out is more of the funny kind, while the one I pointed out was more of the scary kind.

I guess I should have been more specific. :)

Stalking seems to be a common thing with Pinkie Pie. It may be just because she's extremely social on an abnormal level, causing her to want to socialize with anyone even if they don't want it, or it may be combined with, or due entirely to, a personality/social disorder. Either way, from what I've seen, she means no malice and she hasn't been kicked out of Ponyville because of her stalking yet.

Okay...despite my initial misgivings about this, I came back and had a look at the show.  It was okay.  I think the first episode was well thought out and had some okay characters with a good moral.  So, it's not that bad....

Thank you so much! I can never thank you enough! You have just shown me the most epic rendition of My Little Pony EVER! The plot, the characters, the animation, the humor, its all perfect! And that is coming from a man! Guess I am not the only male who likes this  :lol

You know, 4chan is the reason that this show itself became an official internet meme. XD

There are already a lot of YTPs, YTPMV remixes, cross-overs, 8-bit mixes, etc. for this show. My personal favorite would be the TF2 "Meet The" crossovers, which I think Rainbow Dash and Applejack fit perfectly as the Scout and the Engineer respectively. :lol

I have yet to find the ultimate YTP-er for this show. (kinda like JitteryDragon with his LBT poops) And when I do, I'll be laughing my a** off all day! :lol

Well, think about it.  Technically, I am right.

Once it exists, someone on Rule 34 will give it the porn treatment. :x

Personally I'm not bothered by Rule 34. If you don't like it, just don't look at it. That's all there is to it. Even if there's porn of MLP, well who cares? As it's been stated before, if it's not your cup of tea, don't go looking for it. Simple as that.

Back to MLP, I might post a fanart I did of it a few days ago. I made my own fancharacter, a bitter male who paints over his cutie mark because he's ashamed of it. I haven't figured out a name for him, though I am thinking of calling him Trojan. I specifically chose male because there's so few male characters in MLP:FIM and a ton of female characters.

Really now? I have not much drawing or scanning int he past, but I will try to give a go at it.

I will name my character General Gunter, one of the great grandfathers of Rainbow Dash  :lol: He will have a color scheme of gray with a few brown speckles on the face. I may even add a monocle and a slightly heavy British Accent. Too bad my drawing is VERY bad  :smile

I also agree. Not enough male characters on the show...

As for your character's name, I am suggesting Robertson. Why? Just because its the first name that comes to mind for me.

I was really wondering why some people over at dA started to draw MLP art. :huh:
Then I see a topic here discussing about MLP too and got curious.

Alright then, so I've watched the first episode and I have to say... it was actually great!  :)
Honestly, I thought it was just some childish, girly, kiddie stuff for 4 year olds, but the show changed my mind. It was weird at first to watch, but I'm glad I did. :^.^: Looking at some comments at youtube, people who are older than 18 AND male are enjoying this show too. Guess I wasn't the only one.  :p

Hmm... I only watched the first four episodes and I hope to see more male characters and a deeper story coming along too and not only 'moral of story' episodes. :angel
I'm not sure if I spelled her name correct, but I think Fluttershy is the cutest pony. :3

Well, I have some sad news.  Now, I want you all to take a look at this account.

http://www.youtube.com/user/MASTERLINKX (http://www.youtube.com/user/MASTERLINKX)

Now, you may not know it, but this user was the one posting the full-length episodes, and Faust was okay with it.  In fact, Faust is just happy that everyone can enjoy her work.  So what happened to them?

From what I've gathered, apparently, some troll who hates the show filed multiple copyright claims.  As such, YouTube took it down.

You see, this is a problem.  The creator says it's okay to post it on YouTube, but now with these claims, it's temporarily gone.  I hate when trolls exploit the system like this.

I hope this gets resolved soon, because what the troll did was wrong.  Like I said, the creator was okay with it, so there was no reason to take it down in the first place.

Oh, and if anyone asks about the videos saying "Copyright Claimed by Hasbro, Inc." that is the troll there.  First off, Hasbro only has the rights to the toys and not the show.  Second, if it was Hasbro, it would not have the ", Inc." at the end.  So yeah, the claim's a fake.

So yeah, we have a fake copyright claim on the show here.  Hopefully it gets resolved soon.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on March 27, 2011, 09:41:46 AM
Speaking of Hasbro, I heard that they were also fine with the episodes being up on YT because of MLP being limited to Canada and USA. To them, the eps on YT were more exposure. The only eps they may have an issue with are the HD ones.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 27, 2011, 10:13:04 AM
^^Well, like I said, Hasbro has no rights to the show, so even if they did have problems with it, there's nothing they could do about it.  Sure, they could file a claim and all, but it would get them nowhere.  As long time standing toy makers, they would know better in the end.

Okay, there is someone else who is providing the episodes and is still allowed to put them out.  However, you won't get Widescreen HD or Full-Length.  Yeah, you're stuck with Fullscreen 480p and 2-parters for a bit.  Still, until the fake copyright claim gets resolved, this will have to do.

Well, it's official!  I now like Rarity more than Pinkie Pie!  The latest episode brought her to the bottom of the list for me.  Yep, I like Pinkie Pie the LEAST now.  Mind you that I don't hate her, I just don't like her that much.

Oh, and when you hit the bottom of my list, it'll take something big to help you recover.

However, I must say that the outfit she wore in this episode does work quite nicely for her.  Yeah, that's one of the few pluses of the episode, but it has too many negatives for me to like it.

So yeah, bad episode for the latest one.  Pinkie Pie's sing-and-dance routine really ruins it.  It's just a simple thing of doing the wrong thing and the wrong time.

Lol, I thought it was funny when Pinkie Pie randomly performed an encore just after the buffalo chief was about to back down. :lol

I also find the filler conversation on the train (about Fluttershy being a tree) to be extremely hilarious. Just proves that you should NEVER use sarcasm on Pinkie Pie. :lol

And after that, Rarity goes all:
"Would you all be QUIET, NOOOOWWW!!!" *insert scary mudmasked pony face here*

Priceless, I tell ya. :lol :lol

One thing I've actually noticed is that there has been a HUGE increase in My Little Pony OCs since the show had began airing.

To be honest, I've actually had my main My Little Pony OC Rose before the show even started.

Also, just to get to more questions out there; did anyone find it humorous in one of the episodes when Twilight Sparkle looked EXTREMELY similar to the Pokemon, Rapidash?

Also, just out of curiosity, what is everyone's opinion on the character, Trixie? The way she talks in third-person just gives me a headache...

Trixie? Trixie!? You mean the Great and powerful TRIXIE!!!

In my opinion, even though she just had one episode of screen time, she is one of my favorite characters that is not one of the main 6. In fact, I personally love Trixie x Twilight Sparkle Shipping stories on Equestria Daily.  :lol:

Simply a put, a brony is an avid MLP fan, like me and a few others. Some may go as far as to speak like the ponies in the show, e.g. saying "everypony/anypony" instead of "everybody/anybody". Some may even go further as to pair up the characters in a 'romantic' relationship, referred by the community as "shipping" (avoid these if you dislike this kind of stuff), while others would just become 20% cooler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Mu38Gcyoi8) by making usual (but awesome) stuff like fanfics, fanarts, and even to stuff like Flash games, Minecraft builds, TF2 mods, 2D MMO's, etc.

Seriously, I think the brony community is just awesome; lots of really talented people from around the world coming together as a result of friendship, you could say. :lol

Post by: pokeplayer984 on April 22, 2011, 11:23:13 AM
You know what really upsets me?  It's that I can't watch this on my own TV just because I don't have the channel!  I may have Dish Network, but because we had to cut back to the cheapest package, we lost a lot of channels.  One of which was HUB.

I'm kind of sad on that due to the fact that I got the chance to research the channel at my cousin's house and found that it actually has quite a few "good" TV Shows on it.  It's like one of the few channels that's actually TRYING to give kids quality TV rather than just rip them off with crap they don't know is bad.

I mean, really, if you guys get the chance, you should check out the FULL line-up of HUB.  You'd be impressed. :)

Spike: Can it get any worse? *insert expected lightning and rain*

Me: :slap Why doesn't anyone ever learn to NEVER say that?

Anyways, this was a good episode and had some nice character development.  Plus, I will also point out the tiny bit where we see Rarity give a jewel covered bow tie to Spike as a gift for all his hard work.  It's definitely showing how close the two have become since the beginning.  I know what you guys are thinking of me with me pointing it out, but we'll see if anything else develops before I call it.

Next episode should be interesting, as it is said that Pinkie Pie's usual tactics of making others happy, doesn't work.  I wonder how she'll react to that.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on May 01, 2011, 09:57:31 AM
Oh Pinkie Pie, what would we do without you?  Well, throw our own parties, but they wouldn't be the same, would they?

For me, 25 was an okay episode.  I shall await the next episode, which is the season finale.  Let's hope for a second season.  This show is just too good. :)

Also, let's hope the Hasbro Inc. Troll can be found and blocked from these shows.  He had no right re-claiming all the episodes and banning my favorite MLP:FiM supporter yet again.

Plus, I can't help but feel that the troll not only hates the show, but also doesn't want it on said YouTube User's Channel, but here's the thing...

Whoever owns the channel can do whatever the heck they want to do with it!  If they are abiding by the rules, they don't deserve those claims.  MLP:FiM is allowed on YouTube, bottom line!

This troll is the one that needs to be banned and not the one supporting the show.

Also, I hope that the true people who run it will help resolve this and set up the videos and so that they have ad-revenue flowing out of them.  At least that way we can help support it when it's not airing new episodes.  After all, a good chunk of us just don't have the channel it's on.  So, why not set up a way for us to support it?  It'll only help them in the end.

Seriously guys, this issue really needs to get resolved. -_-

I believe it will air this fall.

Some stuff has been revealed about the second season so far. Expect a return of Luna (I think she might turn evil again according to another source) and Derpy is now an official character.

Oh and a bit of sad news, Lauren Fauste is no longer the executive producer of the show.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on May 08, 2011, 05:25:53 PM
Okay, here's a couple suggestions I've got for season 2.

1. Fluttershy turns evil due to an item of sorts. (I doubt that's too far-fetched for the writers. (Plus, the fans are just crazy about that one scene right now.))

2. One of the girls actually loses a friend or family member. (I'm talking an actual death here.  The episode with the phoenix doesn't count.) Yes, let's see how they handle a REAL death.

I'll see if I can come up with more.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on May 09, 2011, 12:05:10 AM
Well, I'll put it to you this way. There were once shows called Land of the Lost, Gargoyles, and Watership Down. They ranged from decent to great. Well, on the third season of each, their original creators were nudged out and the studios took complete control and third seasons of each could be considered cruel and unusual punishment to sit through.
That could be happening to FiM right now.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on May 09, 2011, 12:08:01 AM
One must keep in mind that FiM was not created by one person, but several people. Losing one person does not mean that FiM will go downhill.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on May 09, 2011, 02:29:46 AM
Yeah, but Faust was the ring leader. Gargoyles fell apart with the loss of Greg Weisman, and he was just one guy. He was also the head of production as Faust was for MLP.

Post by: Kor on May 09, 2011, 03:59:17 AM
With many shows it may be like I read on a web page by one of the folks who worked on the Beast Wars tv show.  He said that once the higher ups know they have a commodity they can't resist interfering, coming in and dictating what they want, think is better, ect.  

As I recall what he also said was that often the first season is the most true of the creator's vision for a series.  He used as an example the first season of Beast Wars, starting in season 2 the higher ups started to dictate stuff and they had less freedom.  Even less so with season 3.

I was slightly dissapointed at the ending, since the beginning was so epic I was hoping it would have some closure.  Instead, it just proved to be another 'lesson learned' episode that didn't really answer some of the main questions of the series such as what happened to Luna or where Spike came from.

Okay, this idea is just overused, but it'll still be good to see how they handle it.

They have to defeat Villianous Douplegangers of themselves.  These enemies will even have their own powers to take on "The Elements of Harmony".  This would truely be an epic multi-part battle. :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Sky on May 16, 2011, 03:19:36 PM
Well, I had this idea that 5 episodes are spread between other episodes, where one pony each, except Twilight, has to activate their respective element to defeat evil, solve problems or something similar. The second last episode will have a battle against the "powerful" Trixie but the gang lose to her since Twilight is somehow unable to activate her element. And in the final episode, they try to recover her element to stop Trixie from her evil deeds...

Ah well, it won't happen anyway. :p As long as the next season will be as great as the first one, I'm happy :^.^:

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Caustizer on May 16, 2011, 11:31:56 PM
Interesting ideas Sky.  Maybe you should be a writer too!

I had an idea a few days ago I was kicking around for the last episode, but I never got around to typing it up.

Essentially Part 1 proceeds as normal until the ponies are all dressed up and they reach the gates of Canterlot.  They line up behind some other ponies who are waiting to get in where a guard at the gate calls off names and checks them off as they get in (all of them minor characters from previous episodes).  

Once it's the Ponies' turn Luna interrupts the Guard when she shows up in her grown (and well dressed) form to 'greet the guests, in accordance with a request from her sister'.  All the ponies are shocked, and as they watch she takes their names and checks for them on the list without any recognition.

Luna: "Let's see... Twilight Sparkle and friends... hmm... it does not look like you are on the list I am afraid... what a pity."

A confrontation ensues, and the guards escort the ponies away.  Infuriated that Luna has come back to ruin their big day, each of the ponies in turn suggest and try different ways to get into the castle to speak to the princess but they all fail (Pinkie Pie tries a disguise but it falls off, Rainbow Dash tries to bolt in a window but they are magiked shut, and Twilight tries a spell to make the guards ignore them but it instead turns them into chickens).  The whole time Spike has an idea, but he gets ignored until everyone has tried and failed.

Finally at the end Spike says 'Why not just send her a letter?'.  They do it, and the Princess lets them in right away.  Going up to Celestria's Throne (with Luna right there beside her) they storm on about how Luna took them off the list so they would miss their big day.

It turns out that Celestria actually forgot to put them on because she had been so busy.  She apologizes to the ponies and suggests they do the same to Luna.  Twilight does, but Luna sticks up her nose and prances away.

Celestria: "Don't worry, I'm sure she'll come around eventually.  In the meantime you are all missing the gala..."

The episode ends as Part 1 of the 'Best Night Ever', with Part 2 being almost identical to the one they aired last week.

I have to admit, at first I did not watch this show when the episodes first aired do to the animation. It just looked so...lame at first. My first though was "Ugh! They'll try to make anything look like an anime these days!" And to be honest, the animation really isn't anything too special other then it's not CGI, so it's "different"...somewhat...

But the plot lines were well written. :) Had a moral without being too preachy, (with the exception of a few episodes). And the characters were likable for the most part.

My Ranking of the Six:

1. Fluttershy
2. AppleJack
3. Rarity
4. Pinkie Pie
5. Twilight Sparkle
6. Rainbow Dash

Dont worry, Dash is on the bottom on my list as well. You'd think one such as myself would since she sports a rainbow mane and tail.

I did'nt see the animation comming across as "fanime" to me. I was kinda hesitent at first because its not the original 80's I grew up with.
Then seeing the other gens come out (minus my little pony tales) made me loose fiath in the pony franchise all together.
Thou something did spark a like with me for this series.
I agree that each ep is amazing. I also love the songs they come up with. Each one I fully enjoy...especially the commercial song Equestria Girls.

My Top Ponies!

Now, I know I gave a list earlier, but THAT one was just for the main cast.  This one gives every pony from the show a chance to be on the list.  Even if they only appeared in one episode, if they impressed me enough, they have a chance.

Oh, and screw explanations, I'm just going to get this done.

Anyways, here's my list.

Honorable Mention - Rarity

10. Pinkie Pie

9. Sweetie Belle

8. Applebloom

7. Scootaloo

6. Princess Celestia

5. Twilight Sparkle

4. Nightmare Moon

3. Fluttershy

2. Applejack

1. Rainbow Dash

Ones I want to see the creators get more out of - Princess Luna, The Wonderbolts, ANY of the background ponies.

Oh, and finally, screw Trixie!  She's an arrogant little ***** that can die for all I care! :D *Readies flame shield for the Trixie FAN* (Yes, I dislike her THAT much.  That I would dare to say she has only 1 fan.)

:huh: !? First I see a bunch of fanart all over Deviantart and now I see a 7 pg thread about My Little Pony? Why are they so popular? I looked them up and they received some positive reviews of the show and a lot of people (including you all) really like the show!

I've never really liked My Little Pony. The first time I've ever watched it was the 1980's movie that my sister gave to me since she didn't want it anymore. I watched it at the age of eight...and hated it because I thought it was stupid. I have never seen the earlier tv shows but I can imagine that they could be just as bad as Care Bears and Rainbow Bright.

I'm going to find this My Little Pony on Youtube and find out why so many people including guys like Seth Greene enjoys this show. Oh boy... :unsure:

You know, this show really ain't half-bad. I prefer the PowerPuff Girls. I'll give my thoughts on the first four episodes I saw today.

The first two episodes of the series starts out nicely for itself. The animation looks really good for a tv show. The story is rather interesting but I can't help but feel that the story is somewaht similar to the Winx Club. A thousand years is a bit over used in a lot of video games and cartoons in my opinion. I feel that the plot itself was just rushed in the first two episodes. I felt disappointed at this sense it could have lasted for at least another three episodes. It was like reading a 22pg comic book of good versus evil and in the last 3 pages evil was defeated in the most convenient and uneventful way. Not to mention that the villain was a bit weak and short-lived, anyways. And I thought the second episode was a bit cheesy but other than that its just okay.

Ticket Master: This episode clearly tells me that the rest of the series is just going to have random episodes of comedy. Not much else I can say about this. There is one question I have and that is...where did Spike come from?

AppleBuck Season: I find this episode to be humorous. Never knew Applejack had a brother. Speaking of brothers, how many males are there in this world? And why can the cows talk but the dog can't? By the way, I eat AppleJacks for breakfast! :lol: If I ever get a pony, I'm naming it Rice Krispies.



Overall, There is a good sense of character development and personality in every character. I find the characters to be far more appealing and witty compared to the movie and the older reboots. Still, this is not a show that I recommend to most adults. The show is intended for a younger audience and I've only smiled and mildly chuckled at some of the jokes here. If I had to give this show a letter rating, I'd give it a B.

Well, I think that Spike is the baby dragon that Twilight Sparkle hatched in the episode where Rainbow Dash made her first sonic rainboom. The baby in that episode and Spike look a lot alike, and being the one to hatch him would explain why he takes to her so well and does everything she asks of him.

I must say, the My Little Pony craze is sweeping through the internet like a plague.  I can't go anywhere without someone screaming "ooh, My Little Pony!  My Little Pony!"  So despite my better judgement, I decided to download the series.  I must say, It's not what I expected it to be.  The stories are actually....not that bad.  The animation makes me sick to my stomach and I can barely watch it, but I'm beginning to kind of appreciate the characters in a strange, twisted sort of way.  

My Little Pony is compelling in the same way you can't help but look when an old naked guy starts running down the street.  You don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.  There are times when I can get past the animation, but only for an instant.  Then I'm snapped back into reality and get that kind of sick feeling.  My Little Pony is like being really REALLY hungry and eating a shitload of cake.  You're starving so you can't help but eat, but unfortunately the stomach pains after eating are almost as bad as starving.  

So will I ever like My Little Pony?  Doubtful.  But will I watch it?  Yes.  I just can't help myself - especially when the entire series is just sitting there on my hard drive taunting me and I just wasted 34GB of bandwidth downloading it (this includes seeding).  I'm not against little kid shows.  Hell, I even like Dragon Tales.  But My Little Pony is just......sickening and compelling at the same time.  It's very strange.

Post by: Bongo on July 17, 2011, 01:25:21 AM
I would like to say, landbeforetimelover, that it's really the characters that make the show shine. They are not just characters placed there to just be there, but are actually pretty well developed.

Take Rarity for example. Instead of just being a fashion diva that is obsessed with what's new and hip, she actually runs a high end boutique, so it is her job to do so. Take Pinkie Pie as another example. Although she seems like the hyper girl that likes to throw parties on the outside, as shown in Episode 25, she actually has a much...MUCH...deeper side than that.

Also, you should not just give the show a try, but also give some of the awesome (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/story-fallout-equestria.html) fan (http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/19424?search=alfalfa_monster) content (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhOlAU4t9Hs&feature=view_all&list=PL70E13E5A5619BF06&index=111) a try! The fandom has really put its heart into creating all sorts of media, from pictures to FanFics, and even PMV's. It's amazing what they can pump out with just 1 season of Pony.

I've liked My little Pony: friendship is magic as well as the current scooby doo series.  I liked southpark at first, but I've not seen anything since around season 6.

As strange as I feel saying this, I completely love this show.  It took me a long time to come around, but now I'm totally pony obsessed.  I just finished the last episode a few hours ago and I still can't stop thinking about it.  I had a gander around the internet and holy hell this thing is popular!  I mean I knew it was popular with everyone screaming "My Little Pony!  My Little Pony!" everywhere I went, but seriously I had no idea.  

I've never laughed so much with a show in all my life.  The expressions and situations were just priceless.  The songs were.....just short of terrible.  Let's just say I'll be skipping them the next time around.  Thankfully there weren't many of them.  Unlike LBT, they didn't feel the need to cram 3 songs into a 20 minute episode.  In fact, I think there was a total of 3 or 4 songs in the whole 26 episodes, which is a good thing for me.

I still can't believe how good this show really is.  I haven't been this obsessed with a show...well...since LBT honestly.  I'm really impressed with every aspect of the show.  And the fact that it was created entirely in Flash 8 is even more amazing.  My favorite characters are as follows:

1.  Twilight Sparkle
2.  Rainbow Dash
3.  Apple Jack
4.  Rarity
5.  Fluttershy
6.  Pinkie Pie

Though I do admit it's almost a toss up between Twilight and Rainbow Dash.  Rainbow Dash is really cool.  But Twilight has a cuteness that I just can't get past.  All the characters are incredibly cute though.  And I love how Pinkie Pie is on rainbow-colored crack all the time.  She sniffed waaaaaaaaay too much of that stuff in episode 25 though.  

The thing that I like most about this show is how freaking funny it is.  I loved how Rarity shoved her head in the garbage.  Being Rarity, that just made it so incredibly funny!  I seriously remember literally laughing out loud many times during the show and my mother coming in and asking me what was so funny.  Sorry but I'm not even telling her about my obsession with My Little Pony, so it was difficult to come up with an excuse each time.  And as hard as I tried, I just couldn't help but bust a gut at some of these scenes.

I must say, this is one obsession I'm keeping to myself when it comes to people in the outside world.  LBT is one thing, but I don't think people could accept a nearly 20 year old guy liking a show like My Little Pony.  I can hardly believe it myself.  And it took me quite a while to actually like the show.  But I must admit now that this is one of my favorite shows.

Though I do admit it's almost a toss up between Twilight and Rainbow Dash.  Rainbow Dash is really cool.  But Twilight has a cuteness that I just can't get past.  All the characters are incredibly cute though.  And I love how Pinkie Pie is on rainbow-colored crack all the time.  She sniffed waaaaaaaaay too much of that stuff in episode 25 though.  

The thing that I like most about this show is how freaking funny it is.  I loved how Rarity shoved her head in the garbage.  Being Rarity, that just made it so incredibly funny!  I seriously remember literally laughing out loud many times during the show and my mother coming in and asking me what was so funny.  Sorry but I'm not even telling her about my obsession with My Little Pony, so it was difficult to come up with an excuse each time.  And as hard as I tried, I just couldn't help but bust a gut at some of these scenes.

I must say, this is one obsession I'm keeping to myself when it comes to people in the outside world.  LBT is one thing, but I don't think people could accept a nearly 20 year old guy liking a show like My Little Pony.  I can hardly believe it myself.  And it took me quite a while to actually like the show.  But I must admit now that this is one of my favorite shows.
Well, there's only one way I can respond to that.

Seriously though, If you had told me a week ago that I'd have a My Little Pony avatar, I never would have believed you.  I told myself I'd never watch this or get drawn in by this insanity, but it appears resistance really is futile. :lol You'd have better chances with the Borg any day.

Same here. I've seen previews to this on TV, I can tell I'm not interested in it just by the previews. This is one franchise I'll never get into; zombies will be real before I even consider the show; I prefer darker franchises (hence my interest in AOFW, Watership Down, and Brave Little Toaster (for example).

Just by the previews? As in you never actually watched an episode?

I think you should give it more of a chance. Don't judge it by the looks.

I admit I didn't like the show at first simply because of the looks. It seemed to cute and I didn't think the show would be that interesting. I turned out to be wrong when I started watching some episodes.

It's never a good idea to shun a show simply because of looks.  :p  This show definitely isn't another "run of the mill" "girly show".

We keep on discussing a lot of stuff about the show itself, the backbone, but what about the rest of the body? MLP:FiM wouldn't be MLP:FiM without the Fandom. I just know that without the fandom, this thread wouldn't be here and we would all be oblivious to this treasured show. Why don't we discuss some of the content that the Fandom has spewed out, from FanFiction to FanArt, and even FanMerch. Plus, with us in a hiatus between Season 1 and Season 2, there is not very much that can be discussed besides seeing a person here be converted to Bronies or not. I guess I will start it here with one of my all time favorite FanFics out there (Second being Past Sins).

[align=center]Fallout: Equestria (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/story-fallout-equestria.html)
[Grimdark][Crossover][Adventure]

(http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n506/Brickstarrunner/FalloutEquestria.png)[/align]

Fallout: Equestria is a FanFic...no...it's more than a FanFic...it's an EPIC, like Homer's Odyssey. No, seriously! Currently, it has 986 5-Star Ratings, 1909 Comments, and 32 Chapters to boot, and it is still going strong. Please note that I did NOT include the (abundant) FanArt and Side Stories created by the fans, along with the animated comic and YouTube Live readings. Yes, this, in my opinion, literally has EPIC written all over it. I really, REALLY suggest you give it a read when you have the time.

Are you deterred from reading? Is it because it's a crossover? Is it because of the Grimdark tag and the extreme blood, gore, and violence? Is is it because you don't like reading FanFictions based on video games? Is it because the length is a bit daunting? Is it because you don't like FanFictions in general, or even ponies?

Well, just imagine this: This is like watching MLP:FiM for the first time. You are very hesitant and want to back away, but you press forward. And pretty soon, you are emerged in pure awesomeness.

I can understand that it may not be your cup of tea, but I really do suggest that you at least make up up to Chapter 5. I don't want to spoil much, but I will guarantee you that a new, and very interesting character, will come along if you are patient enough to read all the way through Chapter 5.

If you are too hesitant to read, let me at least give you the introduction. From there on end, I will let you decide.

Quote
Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

…there came an era when the ideals of friendship gave way to greed, selfishness, paranoia and a jealous reaping of dwindling space and natural resources. Lands took up arms against their neighbors. The end of the world occurred much as we had predicted -- the world was plunged into an abyss of balefire and dark magic. The details are trivial and pointless. The reasons, as always, purely our own. The world was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing; a magical spark struck by pony hooves quickly raged out of control. Megaspells rained from the skies. Entire lands were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Ponykind was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the ambient radiation that blanketed the lands. A quiet darkness fell across the world...

…But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue for another bloody chapter in pony history. In the early days, thousands were spared the horrors of the holocaust by taking refuge in enormous underground shelters known as Stables. But when they emerged, they had only the hell of the wastes to greet them. All except those in Stable Two. For on that fateful day when spellfire rained from the sky, the giant steel door of Stable Two swung closed, and never re-opened.

Fallout: Equestria




If you DO choose to read the FanFiction, I will be here, ready to have an in depth conversation with you, right here! Hope to talk with you soon, whoever you may be!  :wave

If you guys want to play an awesome My Little Pony game, check this out:

I also zipped it up in an archive and made it easy for you to download to your computer so you don't have to rely on having it available online.  It's a modified version of Robot Unicorn Attack.  I didn't make it and I don't know who did, but it's absolutely kickass.  The music sucks (ironically just like the original game), but I've found that I play better with it in.

Fine I will watch one full episode of this show and give you my honest review on it.
If you want my opinion, you really need to see at least 8 episodes before making a judgement.  The first two weren't really good in my opinion, but you need them in order to understand the rest of the series.  I didn't even start to like the series until I got about halfway through it.  I just kept watching it because my friends urged me to continue and I was desperate for something to watch.  Remember, it's not so much the stories that are likeable, but rather the characters themselves.  If you can appreciate character dynamics then you'll like this show if you give it a fair chance.  But if you're one of those people that only cares about the story and the action, then this isn't going to be something for you.  

The thing with LBT is it had good stories which kept you interested while also having some very likable characters.  My Little Pony doesn't have that.  You have to have an appreciation for character complexity and care more about the characters than the show itself.  That's how myself and other older My Little Pony fans are.  In fact, that's one of the reasons I couldn't watch Start Trek DS9.  The stories themselves were okay, but I didn't really like any of the characters.  On the other hand, some people can't stand a show if it has a not so great story.....even if it has really likable characters.  It just depends on what type of person you are.

EDIT:  I quoted the wrong person by mistake.

What did I do? I gave the song a chance and I kinda liked it. It had a classic 80's background beat witch made the song pretty good.

@Land Before Time Lover. I can probably sum up the show by only a couple of episodes. I don't need to watch eight. There are two episodes on at 8 and 8:30 A.M. So I will watch them fully and rate them. And give you my honest opinion of them. It could be good or it could be bad who knows. But I will watch them tho.

What the hell did these ponies do to everyone!? Out of curiosity today I looked up these ponies on Wikipedia and sooo many people are actually into this! I already knew that these ponies are spreading to practically every fan forum, deviantart, and multiple memes but I didn't think they would be THIS popular! These darn ponies are spreading like a plague!

The only cartoons that I know that were uber popular in their own time was The Smurfs, Dexters Lab, PowerPuff Girls, Looney Tunes, Rugrats, Scooby Doo, DragonBall Z, and notoriously Spongbob Squarepants. But I don't think I've seen a cartoon that becomes this popular so quickly throughout the multi-medium. Seth Green is a brony, Lady Gaga is a pony fan, Katy Perry is a pony fan, Clinton is a brony, Lead game designer of Naughty Dog is a brony, and now Colbert is a brony.

It's only a matter of time before these ponies take over the world. :yes
By the way, I'm still not a brony. :nyah  I'm going back to watch my movie Rango.

@ oogaboo: You know, wouldn't be a bad thing if this show did.  I mean, it has a REALLY great, positive message behind it, so what's the worst that could happen?

--------------------------

Anyways, I'm here to talk about a MLP fanfiction that I ran into.  A fanfiction I ask NO ONE here reads, just so they can be spared the torture I was put through.  In fact, I question it BEING a fanfiction over a hatefiction.  Sure, it was made by a fan and all, but is, in fact, quite sadistic and twisted in nature to the point of showing signs of a hater making it, but holds so many good little references that only a fan of the show would know.  So yeah, kind of a mixed debate there.

The name of the fanfiction I ask you all to avoid is... Cupcakes!

In the story, Pinkie Pie is turned into a sadistic psychopath who has Rainbow Dash at her mercy (Rainbow Dash is tied down, so she's not going anywhere.) of a "surgical experiment" that she is doing.  Basically, she's seeing how long her friend lasts before giving in.  I won't go into details of what she does to the Pegasus, but just know that it's really sickening in the end.

The worst part is that the author designs it as if Pinkie Pie was ALWAYS like this, which I will only comment as "No she wasn't!".

I'm not going to go into details of how messed up the author made Pinkie Pie, but it's obvious that they don't quite know everything about the character at hand.

Heck, the fanfiction even tries to justify itself with putting in the fact that Episode 25, where she went a little crazy because her friends tried to hide a surprise party that was for her birthday from her, was the cause of it all.  Now, while I will admit she did go a little crazy in Episode 25, I will also note she was cured of her problem when her friends told her the truth of what was going on.  So basically, the fanfiction tries to pull a complete 180 on the whole thing.

I am appalled by this, and if this guy is the fan he claims to be, than I am appalled by that as well.

The worst part is that it gets great praise from quite a few fans, and I am appalled by that also.  A fan is meant to honor what they love, not mock it.  This fanfiction is clearly doing that.  It is not meant to be praised.

I ask you all stay away from this one.  You might end up saving your sanity in the end, because mine is on the brink of being crushed.

Now, if you all don't mind, I need to find a cure for all this before I lose it.

See ya later!

@ pokeplayer984

Too late, I already read it BEFORE you gave out the warning, and let me give my honest opinion: Is isn't as bad as everyone says. The writing is horrible, the characters are WAY out of line, there is no need for such excessive violence, yet it wasn't that bad. Why? I actually LAUGHED a bit at how out of place the story was. People made the hype surrounding the fanfic almost unholy, as if it was a spawn of Satan. I thought I would be diving into a, how do I put it, hellhole, and would come out scarred for life. But instead, I came out knowing that the hype is a bit overdone and that I actually got a few laughs out of it.

There is no denying, however, that Cupcakes truly is one of the most recognizable things of this fandom. Plus, do what Pinkie Pie says...


SOOOOOOOO~
Giggle at the ghostly!
Guffaw at the grossly!
Crack up at the creepy!
Whoop it up with the weepy!
Chortle at the kooky!
Snortle at the spooky!


PS: If you want to get rid of the after taste of Cupcakes, I suggest that you read Rocket to Insanity (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/story-rocket-to-insanity.html), but if you do, you will have to read the Alternative Ending, or else you will be left with the same after taste of Cupcakes. If you do read Rocket to Insanity, you have to read the alternative ending

Trust me, I think everyone's heard of Cupcakes.  Thankfully I never read it because I was duly warned by others online.  I would never go looking for a sickening fanfic like that.  Gore and MLP....the two just don't mix.  Though I don't think anything mixes with gore.

I've heard of that fanfiction and what the plot is on one of the MLP podcasts I listen to.  It sounds like a pretty nasty fanfiction from what they talked about it.

There's only one time that Gore has worked with a My Little Pony story.  
Fallout: Equestria.  Makes sense, I suppose, given the game the story is based on.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on August 02, 2011, 07:58:43 PM
Agreed. Fallout: Equestria's gore is appropriate due to the subject matter. Plus, it describes the gore in great detail, making the world seam much more real. And it is written really well, so the gore isn't "Cupcakes" gore, but more of an "Epicly Written" type of gore.

On the subject of Cupcakes, has anyone read that sad FanFic Bittersweet on Equestria Daily? I only shed a tear reading it, but my stomach felt like lead. It's a greatly written sad story. A bit cliche, but awesome since ponies are thrown in. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you give it a try.

Having read Cupcakes, I can say that it is not that horrible. To me the gore is so over the top that it is funny. Or maybe that I am completely desensitized due to writing two war stories (PokË Wars and Twilight Valley. Speaking of which, I have toyed with the idea of writing a non-crossover MLP:FiM war story...

On a more pleasant note, I like the animation and the characters but I can't get past the theme song.

I've read two MLP:FIM fanfics so far, both of them on Equestria Daily.  One had such horrible grammar I could barely finish it.  The other was actually really good until...well...Apple Jack kissed Rainbow Dash.  I didn't keep reading out of fear that something even more inappropriate would happen.  I thought Equestria Daily didn't allow that sort of thing, but I guess I was wrong.  I'll make sure to read the descriptions more carefully the next time I decide to read a fanfic there.  Though I sorta lost my taste for them after that.

What are you DOING man! You are ignoring the GOOD stories! I'll help link them to you! They are all 6-Star stories (Stories which earned MANY 5-Star ratings) and I can guarantee that you will find one that that you will like, because they pretty much cover every subject! And don't let the descriptions fool you. Just because a description is short DOESN'T mean the actual content is bland! Give them ALL a try!

PS: Stories marked with Yellow Stars (*) are personal favorites of mine and stories marked with TWO Red Stars (**) are not only personal favorites of mine, but also of the community and are HIGHLY reccomended.

Yeah, it happened to me. Feels bad  :cry , because I seriously don't know what to do at this point...I tried fixing it myself. That didn't turn out too well. I asked for help. No help came. I am at a standpoint here, and let me tell you, I am not good at this FanFiction stuff. I got the ideas down, but I can never turn an idea into a story  :(

Well, let's just say that I am not really proud of one of the FanFic I shipped out to Equestria Daily. It's a mess, and now I wish I never rushed the production of it, because now it in need of HEAVY repair, which I do not have time for.

Okay, I probably have nothing else better to do, and since I like you guys, I have been working on something in secret.

I recently listened to the song 'The Girl from Ipanema', and don't ask how or why, but I felt that I could make those lyrics sound like it's from MLP: FiM.

Right now, it is still a work in progress. Can you guys help me out here? Please give suggestions, comments, and what not. Thanks! If you don't know the tune or forgot about it, go to YouTube and search up 'Girl from Ipanema' and get that tune stuck in your head. Then search up 'Girl from Ipanema Instrumental(Or karaoke)' and then sing along if you wish.

I also TRUST you guys, alright. I want these words to stay HERE until I put it out there. Do you know how much it would hurt if YOUR work was put somewhere else NOT by you OR with your permission. I believe we are mature enough to handle this, so please respect my wishes.

The Mare From Canterlot



Smart on her part and cool and collective
the mare from Canterlot is oh so passive
and when she passes
Big Mac she passes
goes Aaah!

When she’s out with her friends
they laugh and giggle to the very end
but when she passes
Big Mac she passes
goes Aaah!

Oh - but he watches so sadly
How - can he tell her he loves her
He - would just give his heart gladly

But each day when she walks into town
He is completely ignored; heart goes down

Smart on her part and cool and collective
the mare from Canterlot is oh so passive
and when she passes
he smiles
but she doesn't see
no she doesn't see
she just doesn't see...

Like I said...a work in progress.  ;)

I'm just wondering, if you were to think of a male character that will ship well with Twilight (And is NOT Big Mac), what character would he be?

I need it for an up coming FanFic, and I not sure if I should use Soarin' or somepony else.

You may have to use an OC of sorts.  To be honest, I don't think the creators have made a good love interest for Twilight Sparkle yet.  I'm confident they will in the future, but until then, you'll have to make something up.

My advice in this situation is to NOT under ANY circumstances make a "clone" of her for the interest.  That is too easy and too boring.  Your character should have SOME similarities to her in terms of personality, but should also have some differences, even ones that would drive her crazy and make her second guess her choice sometimes.  One interesting thing about love, is that the best relationships out there, that have lasted for years on end, center around a couple who have worked through their differences and still care about one another enough to not let such a thing tear them apart.

A love interest should also be willing to make their partner a better person in general.  You wouldn't believe how many couples work through the bad habits the other has.  A simple bad habit can easily break up a relationship, but the best work through the difference, likely finding a compromise of sorts, and become stronger in the end.

So yeah, make a character that's the same, but also different.  Think about her likes and dislikes and use that to make their relationship shine.

Just one little thing, don't make the character a bookworm like Twilight is.  That would just be too easy in the end.  Believe me, this is one you'll have to work through to really make it something grand in the end.  I'm not sure what more I can give you, but I'm sure you'll come up with something in the end.

Nintendo you can watch the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic on The Hub. Or what I heard was all twenty six episodes are on YouTube. You can find them there. And I think you will like it. I really enjoy it. I've seen six episodes and they're great. It's better than the old 80's version. It's a perfect remake of the 80's show.

Dima, where did you get that picture?  I don't know whether to be amazed or offended by it.
I first saw it on an image board I frequent. Every week, they choose a random picture to use on their home page. It just made my day. But now, they've changed the picture on the home page, so I just googled "My Little Ponies The Last Supper" and found it.

It's a pretty funny and cool picture, no? It's not an innuendo or anything. I just thought that it was a pretty cool pic.

(Does anyone know the character on the right? I don't remember seeing her anywhere.)

Post by: pokeplayer984 on August 08, 2011, 03:02:40 PM
Dang it!  This thing has inspired new fanfiction material within my head and I MUST get the ideas out!  So, here we go!

Who Murdered Fluttershy?

Summary: Fluttershy has been murdered, and it begins a mystery to find out who killed her.  However, a friend of her's gets framed for it, and it is a race against time before they are sentenced to death.  Who could have killed the sweetest of them all?

Further info: Okay, first thing I want to clear up, I don't hate Fluttershy in any way, shape or form.  She is one of my most favorite characters in the show, easily making top 5.  I just figured this might make a good story.  Also, just so you know, I got the idea WAY before I read, or even heard of, "Cupcakes".  So that story really had zero influence on it.

My Little Pony: Ninja Warrior

Summary: Rainbow Dash takes on what has been deemed "The Toughest Obstacle Course in the World".  Can she conquer it?

Further info: Got this today while watching American Ninja Warrior.  I'm a fan of Ninja Warrior and it amazes me I even came up with this idea. (Curse you ponies, how dare you take over one of my most favorite shows.) I have also studied the show immensely, and know the physics behind taking it on. (Though I do hold the knowledge, I in no way, shape or form have the physical means to take it on.  I'd lose in the first few obstacles.) I will even point out how the competition feels rigged sometimes. (Come on, the times a veteran goes down early, you know that feels even a little rigged.) I've been wanting to make a fanfiction for a while out of it, and I think I finally have one that will stick.  Wish me luck here!

So yeah, those are my ideas, and let's just see what I can do with them.

Oh, and if ANYONE steals these ideas, I will hunt them down. :D

See ya later! :)

The only thing that still makes me sick to my stomach is the opening song.  It's just so....cheesy and....AWFUL! :x Though I've grown to like most of the other songs.  If you haven't looked it up yet, go to Youtube and type in "My Little Pony 8 Bit" (no quotes).  The songs themselves with no vocals in gameboy music are actually very appealing.

Just how much of a brony are you? http://iambrony.com/test/start (http://iambrony.com/test/start)

according to the quiz

You got 352 of 500 possible points.Your score: 70 %
Fully approved brony

It's obvious that you are a true fan of MLP:FiM. You know a lot of things about the series and you are a caring and loving person for the bronies around you. That’s great! But because this test has space for real Mega-Bronies, it is hard to reach full points. So there are still some small holes in your knowledge but you can survive that without any problems.

Well Campion1, Petrie, and I haven't gotten into the show. I've know about this series (not this specific show, the series in general) for years, never even considered watching it. So its not entirely "futile" to resist the series or not become a fan. The same is true with anyone at Fiver's Honeycomb, no one there (or at the Farthing Wood forum either) have ever mentioned this series. In fact, this is the only forum I've ever seen any one mention the series.

After watching a few episodes, I've personally felt that the show is not bad, but I'm just not getting into it.

I mean, I think the voice actors do a good job and the songs aren't bad, but in my personal opinion, the humor, which would be one of the major reasons for me watching this, can be hit and miss.

Now, the only aspect of the show I flat-out dislike, and this viewpoint is probably not shared amongst a lot of the "bronies" here, is....Pinkie Pie. I'm gonna be honest, I can't stand her. I mean, at first her "cute randomness/eccentric personality" was amusing at first, but it wasn't long before she just got on my nerves. That one episode with the "Pinkie sense" or whatever really ticked me off. I mean, I think the reason why I feel a char like Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons or Izzy from TDI works is because their roles aren't so major.

So, I'm not exactly going to be joining the herd anytime soon, but hey, if you like the show, I'm not complaining. More power to you.

Whenever I get that question in my head, I just think, "Well, even 'The Devil' has fans, so who am I to argue?"

So yeah, if even the worst among us can have fans, why not a 81t(h like Diamond Tiara?

If you haven't I suggest giving Episode 25 a watch (Or a rewatch)

Oh Pinkie Pie, you are so random  :rolleyes:

Oh, and probably, the reason why the humor is Hit-and-Miss for you is because it is very reminiscent of old cartoon physics (Like the Loony Toons). Today, many cartoons go for a realistic approach to physics, but in the Ponyverse, they revert back to the classic cartoon physics, which some people can and can't stand.

Anyways, here's a little fanfiction I found on DeviantART that centers around Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.

Scooting Along (http://press-x-to-dash.deviantart.com/gallery/28964391#/d3etiei)

It also has a great lesson in it that would work great for the show.  Not to mention a little tidbit that is quite amusing. :D

Actually I was pleasantly surprised how it wasn't as girly/cheesy as I expected it to be.  In fact, it was pretty cool!  And it just got cooler and cooler as time went on.  It just took a long time for me to appreciate the animation style.  But after I learned it was created in Flash, I liked it even more.  Imagine making a whole cartoon in such a primitive program (at least in professional studio standards).

I felt that the opening was cheesy too. I couldn't even watch "Winter Wrap up" because their was just too much...fluff in that episode. I don't mind any singing if it is visually stunning and has a good amount of comedy in it but if its just filled with fluff and nothing else I just can't listen to it. So I skip it.

Does My Little Pony need any singing?

Well ever thought of giving the songs a chance Oogaboo? Or you just don't plain like them? Just asking a question here. Not trying to be mean at all. When I first heard the songs I almost skipped them but than I gave each song a chance and I loved all of them so far. Maybe it takes some people time to get use to the songs they play in each episode. They're still great songs. I suggest you give them a chance before you say you don't like them.

No.  No TV episode or movie does.  But after you watch through the whole songs a few times, you get numb to them.  Though "Giggle at the Ghosties" made me absolutely sick the first time around and still does.  If I had it my way, there would be no songs.  At least it's not as bad as LBT though, cramming 3 songs into a 20 minute episode.  There were only 3 or 4 songs in all 26 episodes of My Little Pony (not counting the crazy 15 second songs Pinkie Pie randomly sings).  Though I must admit, I found "Art of the Dress" very catchy.  I liked all the rhymes and just the whole song in general.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on August 17, 2011, 07:04:28 PM
Okay, I've got to get this off my chest.

The one thing I'm sick of with this whole thing, is the Fanmade Yuri Pairings Concepts. (Female&Female Love Relationships for those not in the know.) They are out of control and I'm sick of it.  I know it's because of my religious standards that I don't go for this sort of thing, but this is getting WAY out of hand.  It's getting to the point where I'm BEGGING for some male characters that show interest in the main females in the second season so all of this can just slowly fade away. (It won't make it disappear, but it'll at least put quite a dent in it.)

However, what really bugs me is the fact that some actually believe that these yuri pairings will happen, which I can only respond with the following.

NO, THEY WON'T!

Nope!  They'll never happen!  And you know why?  It's because of one isty bitsy teeny weeny tiny detail about the show.

It's a Kid's Show, (A girl's Kid's Show, but a Kid's Show, nonetheless.) made in America, that airs on a Family-oriented Channel, that airs in America and run by Family-oriented Executives.

Just a few of the rules for such a thing are as follows.

-No bloody violence (There can be a little bit of violence, but it can't be bloody.)
-No swearing (Any swearing whatsoever would be bleeped out and there would be a lesson behind it.)
-No sex (There can be love and moments of kissing, but actual sex would be off panel.)
-No race-related slurs (Unless, again, there's a lesson behind it.)
-No private parts showing (Kind of a standard for most non-adult only cartoons these days.)
-No same-gender pairing (Deep friendship is as far as it's allowed to get.)

Trust me, with America-oriented Kid's Shows, Same-Gender Pairing is just not going to happen, and you know why?

Soccer Moms!

Yep, those same hypocritical Moms whose soul purpose is to remove all "bad influence" content from all media that's aimed at kids.  If anything like same-gender pairing happened, they would send angry letters, start their little mob, go on news protests and all sorts of things that would no doubt get Hasbro Studios in big trouble. (They would even go as far as actually forcing their kids to not watch it.)

You tell me, if you made a kids show to be aired in America, would you take a risk like that when there's a driving force like this that would no doubt force you to change your standards, unless you stated certain things otherwise?

Yeah, I thought not.

So, that's the whole reason.  Soccer Moms setting the standards.  America is just too full of them.

Whew!  That's a nice weight taken off. :)

On the topic of My Little Pony yuri (geeze, it took me 3 tries to type that right.  It's not exactly something I type often), I don't think there's anything wrong with it at all.  The characters are all adults (at least the main 6).  Now if it involves Scootaloo or any of the youngsters then yeah I've got a problem with it, but yuri in general isn't accepted in any of the "reputable" MLP:FiM sites.  Equestria Daily might have one or two on there by accident, but they're removed very quickly.  If you're not into it, don't go looking for it and chances are you'll never have to see or read it.  

Now I will admit I've read a few MLP:FiM shipping stories.  Now understand there's a HUGE difference between regular shipping and sex fics (called clop fics in the MLP:FiM world).  Regular shipping involves NO sex of any kind, but rather focuses on the feelings and emotions of the characters involved.  These were previously called fluff fics because they didn't involve anything serious.  Regular shipping stories might involve a kiss or two, but sometimes don't even go that far.  But as for the people that want to read the stories that include sex, whatever.  It's just not my thing, but that doesn't mean someone else can't enjoy it.  Also the writers of regular shipping stories are typically MUCH better authors that those that write sex fics.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on August 18, 2011, 12:55:53 AM
Well, my big problem is that My Little Pony Stuff from DeviantART is FILLED with yuri now, and I love DeviantART because of certain stories that appear ONLY there.  On top of that, my curiosity let's me run into new material all the time.  I even run into stuff I sometimes unexpectedly like. (I actually ran into a Rarity & Applejack Story that played off of the 1st act of the rather controversial Brokeback Mountain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokeback_Mountain) that was done SO surprisingly well, that I didn't really mind the yuri material in it.) I really don't want to leave DeviantART because of these things, just because of stuff I like there.

I guess there was something on there that made me snap, and I had to let it all out.  I am feeling better now, but understand that I am very much against this MLP Yuri stuff.

EDIT: Oh, and I'm glad to see that the parents of some members here like this show.  It's giving me courage to show it to my parents, despite the fact that I'm down-right scared of doing so.

We all tend to snap sometimes, and it's good to let it all out.

Yes, it's sad to say, but as long as there is the internet, there will be shipping. It may not be your thing, but it may be someone else's thing. It's something we are all going to have to deal with.

PS: If you can't stand DeviantArt, then Ponibooru must be the Ground Zero of a nuclear bomb explosion for you. At all costs, avoid Ponibooru unless you got the stuff filtered out and have the 'Questionable' and 'Explicit' tags up.

PSS: If you DO happen to go onto Ponibooru, be sure to have some Brain Bleach on stand-by.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: brekclub85 on August 18, 2011, 04:35:17 PM
there's a simple reason for that: MLP, like any other show on youtube, if it's not uploaded by the creators of the company that made it themselves, is pretty much copyrite infringement.

And please people, don't use the "It'ss too good to take down!" arguement...

You know, people are capable of finding out about the show through other means, right?

And the show has proven to have a fairly large fanbase who will be able to see the show through other means, this isn't going to hurt ratings like that.

Youtube has had issues with troll/spam copyright claims. I have heard that MLP: FiM episodes and music videos being removed has something to do with this.

Also:

Sonic Rainboom background music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciPVor5f0OU). I happen to really like this awesome industrial rock/orchestral hybrid.

And this:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic meets military vehicles!

It should be obvious which pony is which vehicle, hopefully.

It was a trolls, guys, not Hasbro. They just legally can't outright say iit wasn't them. The copyright claim was issued by a guy calling himself "Hasboro". Hasbro made a statement saying that they embraced the online culture of the show, and that included the fan videos. Well, some of said fan vids were targeted as a part of the wipe.

I want to ask a legitimate question here, and I want to stress beforehand that I'm not criticizing the show or making fun of the fanbase with this post:

Are you ever slightly concerned that this internet overload of bronie/pony things in general may end up being off-putting to potential future fans? I mean, with nearly every forum and several internet reviewers using MLP: FiM stuff in their work/posts, it's highly possible that some non-viewers might get rather annoyed as opposed to intrigued.

In fact, a recently read that a few of TGWTG video producers have claimed that the fans themselves were what made them not want to watch the show, with them basically shoving pony stuff down their throats.....

This reminds me of the game Portal. You remember how after the first game, everyone was quoting "The cake is a lie!" And then when Portal 2 came around, there was no cake reference whatsoever? (Except for one subtle one). That's because the developers of the game themselves said they were getting sick of everyone quoting the "Cake" line.

^^There is a way to get around that problem.  There is a section on the forum where you can request a piece of art to be made for you.  There are people on DeviantART who are more than willing to take requests and do the work for those who can't do what they want.  In fact, some people on DeviantART are SO dedicated to taking requests that they have made an account just for that purpose.

Also, don't be shy about asking for a request at one of the many MLP Groups that are around.  There's plenty of people willing to take requests within those groups.

Just post your request and see what happens. :)

I'm gonna be honest.....like I said before, I don't hate the show, I just don't personally find it to be anything that special.

The concept I mentioned in an earlier post, about someone being put-off  by the overdose of ponies on the internet....I'm one of them ok?

Honestly, because it seemed to me that so many fans were treating the show like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread kinda of irked me. It got me more annoyed than intrigued, and after I watched a couple episodes, I still really can't get why it's an internet phenomenon.

And don't post any pictures saying "You will be in the herd soon enough" with an image of any of the ponies. I'm sorry, but I just find that to be getting obnoxious.

And let me repeat, I have nothing against the show or it fans, I just wanted to express my honest opinion.

I already have, just by saying that the show "doesn't catch my interest." Those die-hard bronies jumped at the first chance calling me a few not so nice names, that I was just being a troll, which I never do :blink: I gave my honest review.

Well you have to remember that no matter how good a show actually is, there are going to be TONS of people that don't like it for one reason or another.  I just found it amazing that MLP:FiM has grown in popularity so quickly.  It's definitely more popular than LBT, and LBT has been around for 20+ years while MLP:FiM is less than a year old!  I wouldn't be surprised if this show has gained in popularity more quickly than Star Wars.  I understand the fanbase isn't nearly as big, but it's become extremely popular in less time than it took for Star Wars to become popular like that.  It makes you wonder how we'll regard this show in 20 years and how many fans it will retain.

Yeah, lucky for you, most people on this site tend to be very understanding and tolerant of different views.

Just as long as you don't flat out hate the show for no reason, it's totally justified to say that you don't really care for the show.

I think the reason that the show took off on the net was all thanks to the channers and /b/tards. My guess is a few /b/tards saw the show, told /b/ all about it, and the whole thing snowballed from there. If something goes on /b/, you can be pretty certain it'll evolve into a meme or movement eventually. That's exactly how  Rick-rolling came about.

But I have to agree, the whole ponymania that's gripping the net is a bit overwhelming. I mean, I can't deny, I love the show; I think it's worthy of qualifying for one of the best cartoons of the 21st century. But the fanbase and the memetic mutations are getting a bit ridiculous.

Taking a pot shot at the fans, eh? I won't deny that some of us can get a little over-protective and touchy, but cosidering some of the shit we have to put up with (the trolls getting everything deleted everything off of YouTube yesterday and two times before for starters. Let us not forget several websites that outright banned users from saying or posting everything related pony-related before the situation was settled, and then rouge mods will go nuts in deleting all their work from time to time) I can hardly the blame the ones who do. As for the whole "you will be assimilated into the herd soon enough" thing. It's a freaking joke.
And you want to know what irks me. Someone who lets how other people react to something color their own perception of it, such as you getting turned off the show by it. I would sooner die than allow my opinions to be altered by outside stimulus like that.
So we bronies are obnoxious, eh? Well, I can say the same of the number of Land Before Time fans. And Trekkies. And Potter fans. And Star Wars fans. And Ringers.
Look, the reason this became an internet phenomenon is because it struck a chord with people. It's alright that it didn't strike a chord with you, but don't knock the fans!

I did not say every Bronie is like that, WR. I just get annoyed by any members of any possible fandom who take it way too seriously, I even have problems like this in fandoms I'm big into to.

And yes, I know the "assimilated" thing is just a joke, but I just think there is such a thing as running a joke into the ground.

ok, ok, we're not going to have a flame war here. so lets keep things civil here. brek doesn't have to like MLP, nor should the spamming and other arguments that often occurs on Youtube videos influence this discussion of the series. Nrek was merely pointing out how overprotective the fans of the show can be, but again thats true of any  tv show or video game seeries. Prime example would be the Spyro franchise, in particular the divide between the fans of the insomniac games and Legend of Spyro series. Lets keep this from getting personal, or I will lock this thread.

Alright, but this fandom has put up with more than most fandoms have to. That's the core reason alot  of us very protective and in-your-face in the case of FiM. Having every pony-related item wiped off the face of a site whether it be YouTube or ponybuuro and whatnot just because some jerk doesn't like it can do things to people.
It's like how Avatar: The Last AirBender fans are very touchy about that show. Well, after it was put in infinite hiatus in favor of freaking Spongebob, of all things, I can't blame them.

I'm not telling you to leave the thread, just choose what you say carefully, Alright. You have no problem going after Sony for thier console and games,for whatever reasons. So why the overprotectivebess for MLP, and the disdain for Sony? I understand people like what they like, and dislike what they dislike, but there is a disconnect here..

No I'm not saying that. you have an opinion, thats fine. I'm not saying that disqualifies you from expressing your opinion., quite the contrary. Your opinions are welcome WR. I'm merely pointing things out. i'm not calling you a hypocrite, if thats what you are thinking.. Hypocrisy is a serious charge, not to be levied lightly. and I'm not saying that.

I would SO TOTALLY do this if I had a Lamborghini IRL. :DD
Thanks for the inspiration...

IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946. Now 20% cooler.

The problem that I have with the "assimilation" joke is that it tends to drag on outside of MLP sources. When I go to some furry site or whatever and I see it, it tends to get annoying seeing everyone take it as some kind of looming threat or virus. Personally, I don't find it cute because I watched the show and I didn't like it. I don't hate the show or anyone who likes it. I hate the joke, just like how others could hate the cake joke from portal or the whole "The game" thing like when it was being mentioned at a birthday party I went to

Just my two cents since it was brought up

I'm with you on that one Weird Raptor. I hope to see this out as a box set also. And I'd also be very pleased if each DVD episode was in the awesome quality that it had on The Hub and You Tube That will be on my wish list of something to get. Hope it comes out soon.

Actually, when you think about it, it's not too surprising.

First off, they have to code it properly and so that it's in VOB format, which is made for the soul purpose of copyright protection.  On top of that, they have to put in a code and so that pirates have a harder time... well... pirating it.

Then they have to do that once again X Million times.

As you can see, that really adds up.

It takes a long time to make enough copies for the estimated amount of people that like it.  Just be patient. :)

Pattycakes made me bust a nut laughing at how utterly bizarre the whole thing was.

One line had me in stitches at the sheer WTFery unleashed:

Quote
When Rainbow Dash saw a photo of various members of The Wonderbolts in diapers, she jumped up and made a run for the door.

If you ask me, Cupcakes was worse because it didn't make me laugh; it made me feel wrong.

--------

Also, I just realized that the Wonderbolts do not have blue fur. That blue is actually a flight suit!

Of course, I have to ask, are they a "civilian" aerobatics team or are they associated with Celestia's Pegasi guards?

I don't really know, it's not clerified in the series, but...

You can ask Lauren Faust, yourself. This is her deviantART account: http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/ (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/)

Personally, I found Pattycakes more disturbing, because destroys Dash mentally, instead of physically.

To all the MLP fans here, I just wanted to clarify one thing:

I did not intend to attack or insult you with my remarks, I just wanted to comment on how I've noticed how some (not all) fans can take it to the extreme, a trait that I know isn't isolated to this one fandom alone.

No harmful intent well, intended.

Okay, I need a little bit of help.

I have a dark MLP fan fic (war story or gritty urban thriller) in my mind.

I need some in picking out the name of the first setting - a dirty, gritty industrial city.

So far here is what I have for names:

Bethlehem --> Bridlehem
Paterson --> Pasternson
Gary --> ???
Elizabeth --> ???
Neward --> ???

Any suggestions are welcome.

A lot of ponies, both official, fan made, or just plain original characters, 90% of the time have a name reflecting their special talent/cutie mark. So I suggest that you keep in mind their special talents and/or cutie marks to help you determine their names.

You're welcome. Hey, I have an inquiry to make.
In "Bird on a Hoof", do you think Celestia knew that Fluttershy was going to birdnap Philomena and then sat back and watched the chaos unfold for the fun of it? DO you think she's cruel enough to pull something like that?
She is an immortal.  She may see that as a small thing & a way to pass the time and have some fun.   Being immortal she may not see things in the same way that non immortals do.

Alright, cut the crap. Does anyone here really think Celestia is a cruel being?
She only manipulations in the entire series were at the beginning in bringing the Elements of Harmony together, but in doing so, she freed her sister from her own madness, got her student out of the library and amongst real friends for the first time in her life, and ended an ongoing threat to the ponies of Equestria all in a single night and made the lives of all involved better. These are not the actions of a wicked being.
Seriously, this is along the same lines of something Gandalf would pull, yet Tolkien fans don't go around pushing the idea that h'e s some kind of cruel entity.

Sorry if I came on too strong, it's just that I like Celestia, yet I can't go anywhere in the fandom without the idea that she's some kind of sadist or Tyrant creeping into the discussion. I'm seriously just growing very tired of it, so if everyone was just kidding, I'm sorry.

I never said she was I just think that sometimes she pulls a prank to show that even though she's ruler of Equestria she is still like everypony in equestria.

I'm not 100% sure what her intentions were with that episode.  However, I give that little thought due to one thing that gets under my skin far more.

Come on!  If you want to make a good episode that involves death, don't cheapen it out like that. :)

Yeah, I'm more upset at the writers there than anything else.  You don't mess with death, bottom line. :)

Er, it had nothing to do with the writers dodging the issue of death. Phoenixes actually are reborn from their own ashes in the original myths. They were just keeping true to the tale of a mythical creature is all. Now if they had something from mythology that just did not resurrect once killed do the same, there would be an issue, but in the case of a phoenix, they did not cheapen death.

Either way, it was not a writing fumble, and death was not the theme of the episode. The moral of the episode was that you should not jump to conclusions. Fluttershy thougth the bird was sick and dying, but it turned out just to be a Poenix (a beast of myth that DID rise from the ashes at the end of their cycles) and needed no such extra attention. She should have inquired about Philomena further instead of birdnapping her.
Besides which, the creators of the show have stuck true to the myths and legends surrounding the various fantastic beasts that show up, why should their treatment of a Phoenix have been any different?

It WAS a good episode, as are all 26 of FiM's season one episodes. Not a single bad one yet.

That wasn't aimed at you. I'm trying to stress to pokerplayer that the point of the episode was not death and that fidelity to the mythology around these creatures featured has been par for the course from the beginning.

EDIT: I have a quote from another fan of the series from when a similar discussion cropped up, and with his permission, this is his take on the matter:
"There wouldn't have been much a lesson with "Philomena stays dead". I think the only thing you could possibly glean from a bird turning to ash and falling upon your hooves is "death is going to happen to everyone. Get used to it." which is decidedly very cynical and very much tonally dissonant from the rest of the show's attitude

Whoever this fan is, I don't think he realized that "rule of drama" is not always a good rule. There's a time and place for it. And there will never be a good enough time or place to justify completely ruining Fluttershy's psyche for most of her life. Besides, Philomena turning into a phoenix was awesome."

Watching a bit of the pilot episode, I can safely say that I am actually starting to like this.

Of course, it took like 10 tries to get past the theme song. But the music in the show is quite good...other than the theme song.

The sad/scary art is my college life is eerily reminescent of Twilight's life. I haven't spoken to my high school friends in over two years. I literally spend hours in my college library. Granted, it's a 50-50 mix of actually studying and doing work and recreational library use. Granted my social life/skills aren't as bad as hers but from what people tell me, they're pretty bad. Add that to randomness and miscillaneous weirdness that Pinkie Pie has... NOT a good combination.

I know the legend and I get what the message was.  I know that a phoenix burns to ashes and is then reborn from those ashes.  I also know that Fluttershy was meant to learn the lesson you pointed out.  However, you must understand the one part of me that won't shut up whenever death is introduced, and it's the part of me that is just fed up at this point with how the element of death is treated with kid's shows in the US these days.

I just can't stand it anymore.  I want the element of death in a Kid's Show to be real, okay?  I want there to be pain, suffering, sadness, the acceptance of moving on without that special someone and the changes that would come forth of that someone not being around anymore.  When was the last time a Kid's Show in the US had the balls to rub such an element in front of the arrogant Soccer Mom's faces like that?  All to teach them a very powerful lesson?

I want someone to do this yet again with a Kid's Show.  I'm fed up and I've had enough.

I await the day the Element of Death is done justice.  Some have come rather close, but not close enough to satisfy me.

Does FiM have the balls to do it?  We shall await and see. :)

Try the new Thundercats show. They stabbed and killed someone in the very first episode and it had plenty of impact. Enough so that it kicked off the entire plot.

I get your argument, but what you wish would have needlessly destroyed Fluttershy and clashes with the tone the show set. Philomena dying would have contributed nothing other than manufacturing drama and ruining Fluttershy, emotionally. Drama for the sake of drama is a story-telling no-no, no matter how you look at it. If a show has to kill someone, then it should be to set off some sort of chain of events that either furthers the plot and/or gives the character the desired development, like The Land Before Time got the ball rolling for both with the death of Littlefoot's mother.
I can understand your frustration, but MLP: FiM is not the right show for the Element of Death.

I'm so glad we've got a confirmed date for the release of the first episode.  Still, I don't have TV so I won't be watching it when it airs.  In fact, I'm not going to watch ANY of season 2 until it's finished.  Then I can download all the episodes at once and sit down and have a nice 8-hour marathon. :D

Aside from the main 6, who do you think Season 2 will put the main focus on?

I know we have confirmation of Luna being focused on more, so that's good.  However, what about others?  Who do you think it should focus on?

Ah so what I'm gathering is in season two of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic is there will be new characters in season 2. Sometimes that kinda kills the season. But all time but sometimes it does. But I herd season 2 starts September 17th 2011. Witch I will watch when it comes ob The Hub. Or on You Tube.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

I will have to watch on youtube or download because I don't have a TV in my dorm and even when I return home, I don't get the The Hub.

I'm kind of hoping it focuses more on the Wonderbolts.

And I also hope that some episodes have the darker and grittier feel of the season one pilot.

Yeah, I just skip the title sequence, and turn it off as quickly as I can before the end credits music starts.

It's kind of a shame, because the theme-tune itself is pretty good. it's just the lyrics that push me off.

And yes, that song aside, much of the music in this show kicks its own moderate share of ass. What makes it especially admirable to me is that from what I can tell, it is almost entirely done with keyboards and computer programs. The fact they managed to pull off a huge broadway-esque song like "At The Gala" (which nearly puts Disney showtunes to shame) with that kind of limitation is quite frankly astounding.

Like I said, I don't hate the tune, the lyrics just embarrass the hell out of me.

But the background music is quite good. I mean, the episode Sonic Rainboom had a kickass industrial rock/orchestral hybrid that was like something out of the Matrix.

Yes, I think I can call myself a brony now.

-------------------

About fan fics, how do you deal with swearing it it? Do you use "world based swears" or conventional swears?

I just finished reading A Dark Sky and I must say that there was a lot of cursing. While it is justified (two of the main characters are a dishonorably discharged ex-Pegasus Guard and the other is an illegal racer with significant underworld ties).

Personally, I feel that standard curses work better in dark fics as hearing something like "Manure!" or "Horse apples!" instead of "s---!" tends to make me burst into laughter if it is a serious scene which defeats the purpose. Using substitute swears is okay if it isn't a dark fic.

-------------------

On a sidenote for my gritty MLP fan fic,

I have settled on the name of the industrial city: Bridlehem (Bethlehem)!

Bittsburgh (Pittsburgh) will appear as another dirty industrial city.

Basically, it is about a the Mane Six stumbling into a smuggling operation and they have to stop it. Yes, it's a dark fic and it features two things I love in my stories: high octane thrills and gunplay.

BUT don't get your hopes up on it appearing anytime soon as I need to do some research on the characters and try to keep them in character.

You know what I did to cure my sickness for the opening? I listen to this music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJ7zONEJrQ) until I get the tune stuck in my head. After you get the tune stuck in your head, start singing along in your head. Then sing along out loud, and in no time, you will start to like the opening.

OR you can take the extremist way by watching the G1 Intro over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, but that is really suggested for those who want to really rid that sick stomach over the theme song. Trust me, the more you hear it, the more it grows on you. Happened for me that is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grimdark fics like Fallout: Equestria; I tend to let the words go due to the subject matter, but for lesser stories than that (Normal, Shipping, Comedy, etc) I believe that those substitution curses should be used. True, I can stand a few moderated "ass" or "damn" words, but anything beyond those two don't really fit.

Well, I've seen some new reports about season 2:

From what I read, it looks like the season's gonna start with another Elements of Harmony 2-parter. This time they face off against a villain called "Discord", who has apparently broken free from his prison.

Note, I said "His". It'll be pretty interesting to see a male villain this time.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on August 24, 2011, 09:17:32 AM
A lot of people are speculating Discord is actually a dragon based on a 2-3 second clip aired in a promotional video on the HUB (The network where MLP is aired, unless you live in Canada, where it is Treehouse TV I believe)

(http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/aecc885fcd7f561e730d539259f65fb5/48897%20-%20Discord%20Dragon%20celestia%20comparison%20illustration%20luna%20moon%20season_2%20sun.jpg)

You can see in the (sort of bad quality) image taken from that promo, Celestia and Luna are surrounding a white figure that looks a lot like a dragon. It's not set in stone, but just some speculation that everypony is making.

I have to wonder will this season be like the previous and do slice of life or do a new formula of high octane episodes?

I'm hope for a mix, since both formulas have their fans, and with 26 episodes, they ought to be able to appease both if they're smart about it, which the writers have consistantly proven they are.

Honestly I thought Pinkie Pie was super annoying at first too.  In fact, I'd go so far as to say I hated her.  But over time I guess she kind of grew on me.  She's still not even close to being my favorite pony, but she's all right.  And if you still can't get over how annoying she is, imagine what she'd do if you told her you hated her and thought she was annoying.  I certainly wouldn't want to make Pinkie Pie cry. :lol She looked sooooooo sad and pathetic in episode 25 when she thought her friends didn't like her anymore.  Then she turned into a psychopath, but you'll learn more about that later.  :lol:

Someone had defictionalized the baked bads:

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 large bag potato chips (crushed)
1 small bag gummy worms
1 cup lemon juice
20 oz. Cola
1 tsp baking soda
~2 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 275
Beat the eggs and sugar together in large mixing bowl
slowly add crushed chips, mix well
add lemon juice and soda, if using electric mixer, be careful. the Cola fizzes quite a bit.
add baking soda and about 2 cups flour, adjust more or less for desired thickness
mix gummy worms in just before distributing into muffin pans
The batter should be thick enough to stay in a spoon but no thicker.
When placing into cups, make sure there are no more than 1 full gummy worm per muffin. Anymore and it becomes a sticky nightmare.
Bake at 275 degrees until a toothpick comes out of the muffin clean and enjoy :)

I don't like sweet things.

And the recipe sounds utterly horrifying.

On the brighter side, remember the jewelry that the Mane Six wore during the end of the two-part opening arc? Well, I found some Swarovski Crystal necklaces that looked almost exactly like the jewelry worn by the Mane Six. I was prompted to search for look-alikes because my mom's Swarovski necklace looks exactly like the necklace that Applejack wears in that scene.

Fluttershy:

Why do I think Lauren Faust got the idea for Fluttershy's Elements of Harmony necklace from this Swarovski necklace?

(http://www.swarovski.com/is-bin/intershop.static/WFS/SCO-Media-Site/-/-/publicimages/CG/B2C/PROD/240/658907W240.jpg)

Hypothetically, if someone with sufficient glassworking skills were to get their hands on lead crystal, they could make replicas of said jewelry. Of course, they'd probably be really expensive and kind of a one-off collector's item thing.

So any guesses on what Discord is?

My guess was that Discord is an evil Alicorn but he himself doesn't fight; instead he summons corrupted/dark versions of the Mane Six to do the fighting for him.

This is hilarious: Luna Dances To Nightwish (Moondance) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttnPs_3jDhI)

And there's tons of fan made music on Youtube.

My favorite: I Will Rise - Trixie's Return Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bb_P_qQGEeU&feature=related). It starts out slow and mournful, then switches to a very ominous military-style march (very much like Gustave Holst's Mars theme). It builds up to a haunting but fast paced tune with electric guitars and vowel tones sung by either a choir or soprano. It then ends with a vowel tone sung by a soprano. Note that there are supposed to be lyrics (in German)

Here they are (translated):

Low and Defeated
Humiliation,
tears in my eyes and anger in
my empty heart!
(I dream of glory and power,
Now I have nothing but hate!
Dreams of fame have made way for
Anger and Despise!) x2
I will come back stronger
and show you all who is the best!
Long gone are days of loss and,
I will embrace victory!
(No Longer!) (No Longer!)
Will I hide my face
(No Longer) (No Longer ashamed!)
No longer ashamed
(Cry: No longer! No Longer!)
I am proud and mighty
(No Longer) (No Longer ashamed!)
I am Powerful!
(Cry:)
(All victory! All Victory!)
Flow through me
(Greatest Triumph! Greatest Triumph)
greatest triumph
(Total victory shall be mine!)
I Will rise above you

Probably Adobe Premier.  That's the program I personally use, and it's capable of doing all those things.  Though I must admit, it must have taken at least 3 hours to cut out all those characters in the first 30 seconds of the music video.  Perhaps even longer depending on how meticulous they were being when cutting them out.

Well of course.  I don't think you can even cut them out properly in Premier without isolating the backgrounds, which would be impossible without putting them into Photoshop first.  But if you bothered to do that, it would be MUCH easier to just cut them all out in Photoshop before throwing them into Premier.  Cutting things out from their backgrounds is usually very difficult and time consuming.  The simple animation of MLP:FiM makes it easier, but no automatic program is going to be able to it.

That was so freaking amazing!  If the Matrix was really like that, I would have liked the show even more than I had (if that's even possible).

A Finnish brony changed his name to Rainbow Aleksi Dash. Take this with a grain of salt as there is no photographic evidence.

Btw, I'm starting a series of ponies/TF2 sentence-mixing parodies where the TF2 classes would sing the songs in FiM. The ones I've already made have gotten quite popular lately.

I can't say because I haven't reached that particular point yet, (I'm still reading 19, where Nyx is recovering from her wounds, both physical and emotional.) but even when I reach that point, I'm not going to spoil it.  I'm going to encourage you to read it without that knowledge.

I will say though that ALL of my predictions say they will be free.  How exactly that will happen, is the main difference. :)

As for your other question, I do want that element of death still.  Oh, and just so you know, I do change my mind about that bird discussion earlier.  I do agree what happened was the best thing, even if I don't like it to some degree.

Okay on both accounts.

I have one question: you don't want to show turn into some kind of blood bath, though, right? If so, maybe you should just quit watching.

Television IS getting less afraid to kill characters more recently, I will tell you that much. For one, Thundercats started out by killing Claudus, king of the Thundercats and Lion-O's father.

Well, technically, there HAVE been deaths in the MLP: FiM series.

When Nightmare Moon was defeated, she was killed, but her host; Luna, was kept alive.

Twilight is turned to stone by the Cockatrice, which can also count as death (Even though she revived later in the story)

Philomena died, but she was a Phoenix, so it was expected.

True, they haven't been out right never coming back from the grave deaths, but still...
Maybe I should stop looking deep into a little girls' show about magical ponies and pegasi that teach us lessons...

However, for a light-hearted show like My Little Pony that makes Blazing Saddles and fourth wall okes. No. It ain't happening.

I think it's good go have shows here you know no one is likely to die, and some video games and such.   There are some where folks do end up dieing, and that is good also.  I think it is best to have both, so folks that way who prefer one or the other have some stuff they can watch & enjoy, and some who like both have that also, instead of having just one type for everything.

I don't think killing off main characters is a requirement of a good show.  Quite the opposite in fact.  You're supposed to identify with the protagonists of the story, and if you do then killing them off isn't exactly a good idea.

Considering those who are behind this show, I'd say they'll bring in the element of death if they feel it to be best.  They'll avoid it for most of the episodes, and if they do use it, they'll have as little blood as possible, and be straight forward on the lesson.

They aren't afraid to use it, they just won't use it very much, and I'm okay with that.  They'll simply do it when they feel it's best. :)

Well, the person obviously needs another check on what Pinkie Pie is like!  Seriously, I may not like Pinkie Pie as much as others do, but even I know she wouldn't act like that at all, even if she did lose it.  She was totally out of character in that story, and I still stand by it being a hatefic.

Trust me when I say that there's NO way a fan would make that.  If they think they are one, they are obviously delusional.  In my eyes, that person is no fan because that story totally disrespects the show, and a true fan would NEVER do something like that.

Well if it was a hatefic, I don't think it would have ended up on Equestria Daily (and yes it is on there), a site where fans of the show gather and show artwork and such. It might look like a hatefic, but you have to realize that there's all kinds of different types of fans in MLP (as any fandom) and there are people who would write something like that while still being a fan of the show.

It is unfair of you to say that if the writer of the fanfic thinks they are a fan then they are delusional. As I said, there's all kinds of fans of the show, with varying degrees of interests and such.

While obviously an out-of-character fanfic, Cupcakes is one of the most well known fanfics, and there's at least one I know, maybe two, in which there is a Cupcakes reference. So the fanfic does have popularity even among MLP fans.

Note: I am not a fan of Cupcakes either. But I don't hold the author in contempt for writing it.

Post by: Nick22 on August 31, 2011, 08:49:30 PM
just keep things civil folks. I have not read the fanfic in question, so I can't make any comment on whether it merits being called a hatefic. but in general, having the characters act out of character does not necessarily make it a hatefic. having the characters behave in adult manners, (language, for example) or going on killing rampages, that I could see as being classed as a hatefic.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on August 31, 2011, 08:59:00 PM
I don't completely agree. While killing rampages could qualify as hatefics, I don't think this is the case every single time. Same goes for adult material. I feel the line between hatefic and darkfic/adultfic are blurred and at times it's hard to tell what's a true hatefic and what isn't.

To me, a hatefic spends more time bashing the show, but even then this can be hard to pick out at times. There was a hatefic I read once about Digimon, and the author there did show it was a hatefic, definitely.

But I cannot say the same about Cupcakes. While it does involve Pinkie Pie killing ponies and being out of character, that alone doesn't make it a true hatefic in my eyes. All it is to me is a very grimdark fanfic. The author may have been interested in writing such a story simply because they wanted to, not because they hated the show or Pinkie Pie.

But that's just my view. I'm not saying I like Cupcakes. I already stated I don't. All I am saying is that I don't regard it as a hatefic simply for being very violent and OOC. I don't recommend reading the fanfic to anyone, but if you are curious, you can find it on Equestria Daily, where it currently garners around 900+ four stars out of five rating. Oh and that's another reason I don't think it's a hatefic, as I don't think a hatefic would have such a high rating on a MLP fan site.

Anyway, onto another topic, MLP related. I'm looking forward to season two. If anyone follows Equestria Daily, you might have seen the supposed script of the first season two ep. I'm not sure if it's real or not, but if it is, it'll be an interesting episode. Someone already made an interpretation for Discord. I wonder what he'll really be like.

I didn't go anywhere. They've been leaving me notes like crazy ever since one of them discovered my profile! I have been trying to ignore them. However, I think any people talented in making art needed to be given a heads up about these guys.

*takes a second look at it all*  On second thought... *throws gun away*

I have better things to do than waste my breath on these trolls who have too much free time on their hands.

Now, if these are the same people who are putting the fake claims on the show, I'd have more of a reason to attack them. (In a more legal manner, I might add.)

Best to just ignore those people, WR. I know it's hard to do, but reaction feeds trolls like those people. They want you to get angry and yell back, or get upset and stop liking what they hate so much. So continue to ignore them and continue faving pony art and such, and I bet you that they will eventually grow tired of harassing you, seeing that their words have no effect.

If they continue being a problem, try reporting that group. Not sure what good that'll do, depending on if DA will respond or not. But it's worth a shot, I think.

In the mean time, shall we 'Over-Analyze' the series a bit, shall we?

Zecora. Zecora is a zebra, and can still talk. Ponies can talk. Griffons can talk. Even Dragons, as shown, can talk. Does that mean there are OTHER species of animals out there that can communicate? Sea Ponies? Camels? Other animals with equine movements or roots tracing all the way back to mythology? Are there other vast empires and civilizations located beyond Equestria's borders populated by these unknown races? Could they possibly be pony but broke free of Equestria's system of law and order? If so, does that mean Equestria has ever gone to war with them?

- - -

As Applejack stated in Episode 4 "Applebuck Season", she yells out," KELP!? Why ah don' even like seaweed... ", which clearly shows that this world has oceans (Of course), and up to this point, we have seen a few aquatic species; Sea Serpents (Which is somehow in a river), fish, and squid (Which is strangely located in Ponyville's small pond found in Episode 18). Could there possibly be an episode that introduces a new type of aquatic creature? A lot of people are debating whether or not Sea Ponies from the Generation 1 My Little Ponies will make a return.

- - -

I know it's just a children's show for gods sake, but I can't help but try and find out how their world works. I just find this stuff fascinating.

And if anyone's interested, someone tried to link the episodes in Chronological Order...it made my head spin.

Wow!  That is quite the feat that person pulled off there, Bongo.  I, myself, noticed that the episodes were out of order in terms of chronology, but there were so many things, I couldn't wrap my head around it all.

I would make an argument or two on the order I think some of those might be in, but I really can't be sure myself.  I wonder if they'll actually do things in order for Season 2, but we'll have to see.

Anyways, time to get my next post ready.  It's my review of the story, Past Sins. :)

What? This group isn't just about hating MLP. It's also about hating its fans. How dare you.
Oh, so you think that Nick, pokerplayer, Dark, Petrie85, and several others, including myself, are deserving of ridicule, do you, because that's what the group is about. What a way to turn your back on us all just because we like something you don't. As long as you are a member of that group, you are no friend of mine.
These people demonize all bronies and put us all on the exact same level! They don't even try to be fair. They have all bronies lumped together into one convenient category. They didn't treat me as an inidividual, they treated me like they do all bronies, with ridicule and vicious insults. And you still threw in your lot with these people?! Nice. I can see what we mean to you now, especially since it seems like it was a tough decision for you.

I mentioned this group to warn anyone amongst us with decent art skills about them. And knowing full well how vicious these bastards are, you still became one of them? Well, at least I can see your true colors now.

So before anything here escalates let me remind everyone of the consequences and ask everyone not to behave like babies!
Nobody is obliged to like a franchise just because somebody else does and nobody proves himself to be very grown up by declaring hatred or contempt of anyone for liking something that the person does not.
Stop acting like religious zealots about this everybody and accept that not everyone likes or dislikes the same things as you do. There is no need for either pestering anyone into anything nor to provoke or hate anyone for his or her fondness of a franchise.
I hate wielding the sanction club here, but let me just say that there is very little tolerance on the part of the admins for either way baby attitude! :anger
Everyone is entitled to like or dislike a show and express the own opinion. Nobody is entitled however to consider the own view on something like this so high above that of others as to presume the right to ridicule, attack, pester, or molest those others. We will closely monitor such attitudes. If you feel any need to get to your throats about something so ridiculous as your personal movie preferences (and I wished for everyone to be sensible enough not to feel the need for any personal quarrels) then do so not on the GOF lest you force us into imposing sanctions that none of the admins enjoys to impose! :bang

Post by: WeirdRaptor on September 02, 2011, 09:09:02 AM
I agree entirely. Hate groups are just wrong, especially when forme over a TV show and its fanbase. I accept that there are people on GoF that don't like MLP: FiM, just don't hate anyone who does like it, alright? Just imagine in someone started an Anti-Land Before Time group that not only hated the franchise, but also us.

Why would you want to join a hate club? I don't care if you don't like MLP. But I never saw the purpose of joining clubs whose entire purpose is to bash and hate on something simply because they do not like it. It's stupid, wasteful, and immature in my opinion.

Understand that I am not dashing these people for not liking MLP. I just don't see the purpose of needing an entire club for such a thing.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Campion1 on September 02, 2011, 09:25:44 AM
For disclosure, I didn't join the group to join the hate. Just joined the group because I didn't like the show. Simple.  :rolleyes:

No major defection, no plans to attack members, no declaration of hatred for something you like. Just a dude who joined the group to see funny art of something that slightly annoys him. With so much MLP being seen on places I normally go to, it tends to get on my nerves.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on September 02, 2011, 09:30:04 AM
The nutjobs who formed that club have major victim complexes, and claim that we've wronged them in some way (yes, because they can't just ignore a couple of persistant bronies spamming "you will be assimilated").
You must be pretty thin-skinned if MLP annoys you.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on September 02, 2011, 09:31:02 AM
That still isn't a reason to join, in my opinion. Far as I'm concerned, there's no reason whatsoever to create or join hate clubs. They waste so much energy on hating one simple thing, instead of focusing on something else.

Instead of joining that hateclub, why not instead join a club you do like, maybe a show or movie that you enjoy? That would be better than a hateclub.

You know, WR, if what you're saying about the group is true, than wouldn't it be wise to let the mods of DA deal with them?  I'm pretty sure that level of abuse is not allowed on DA.

Just remember to give them some evidence of the manners presented. (Don't forget to include names.) They're not going to waste their time on false claims and accusations.  If they find it bad enough, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to take the group down. :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

Already done that. The group should be down before long.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on September 02, 2011, 09:38:46 AM
In my opinion, a club should only be about positive things, things that people enjoy. I've seen them for different versions of Spyro, I've seen them for Land Before Time, I've seen them for different characters, for different pairings, etc.

Such clubs create positive feelings that feel better than the hate created by hateclubs. Hateclubs create a hateful atmosphere, bashing something they don't like for no good reason. I regard people who create such clubs to be immature and having too much time on their hands. If they don't like something, then they should avoid it and focus on something they do like. By creating a hateclub, they're giving attention (even though it is negative) to something that they hate, which is wasteful.

I'll move away from this subject and talk about something else.

One character I hope gets fleshed out more next season is Big Mac.  We don't know much about him other than the fact he's Applejack's brother.  There's just so much we don't know about the guy and I would like to find out more.

Not to mention the whole thing of who he "likes" needs to get resolved.  As fun as it's been, we need some proof on the manner already.

(yes thats right, I have returned! thought about my actions back when I was on here, desided to clean up and well, here I am hungry again)

I have not seen the show I read the plots out of curiosity and plan to get the season 1 DVD set when it is released (got a friend who is informing me on when it will be released he said sometime soon we both agree it probley comes out when season 2 is shown)

what i love about the show itself, not only by the characters (I have seen clips mind you) the show also has a sence of charm to it. I even made my own MLP character named High-Teck and made a couple of drawings of him. like most of my insterests I will probley go crazy on this for quite a while.

My favorite characters would have to be Princess Luna (Just love her shes so cute!), Nightmare Moon (yeah shes a villian hard not to love her), Rainbow Dash (just love her tomboy additude), Pinky Pie (lol shes so random!), and oddly enough the Royal guards. just because I love the way they look in the show. I have some others but I wanna watch the series some more. hard to do that when you got antennie and slow dialup. but anyways.yeah I'm a Brony.

again I only have a couple available at this time. aside from the Avatar, but thats not my artwork but it is my character (gotta thank good ol, DarkHouhoumon for that she did an awsome job)

here is the first picture of my Pony-Sona with Princess Luna singing Don't Stop Believin' by Journey I plan to fix the lyrics Ponify them and probley swich whos singing what. anyways heres the pic...

(http://th00.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/241/5/c/teck_and_luna__s_duet_by_titanosaur-d487xlo.jpg)

this next pic is the first MLP related pic I ever did. I admit the style is more G1/2 then it is G4 but you gotta understand how diffcult such a style is for somebody like me to draw. anyways this is my Ponysona fully decked out with his tech (thus his name High-Teck) at that time I had not desided his Cutie Mark was to be a Wrench so I had the tech saddle cover his haunch.

(http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/236/6/f/mlpfim_sona_high_teck_by_titanosaur-d47nldl.jpg)

OH! wait I did do one more thing. although its not exactly a drawing.

I Pulled up SPORE one night and created Nightmare Moon in the creature creator and then suited her up in Space Outfit Creator. due to the size of the image I can only post the link

http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/239...aur-d47z3at.jpg (http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/239/3/3/nightmare_moon_spore_edition_by_titanosaur-d47z3at.jpg)

oh thank you very much, yes I am working on a story that tells you more about High-Teck's life, basicly he was and still is a mechanic and technological scientist who was much more advanced then the other ponies, he moved into ponyville and basicly just keeps to himself, but hes still very friendly hes stubbern but also quite loyal to his friends. he is also a fairly good singer. he often sings whenever hes listening to music and hes loves ballads, rock, and country.

ah yes as for the Nightmare Moon creation that was difficult but I had fun with it. she came out quite well dispite the obvious inaccuratecy.

Dispite his looks and how you can see in the first pic, hes realy not that mean infact he is very kind. and often times has the worst of luck with his gadgets and is often the victom when one of them blows up quite litteraly in his muzzle.

heh well I won't lie. High-Teck is probley one of Luna's biggest fans. infact he has an attraction to her. although I originaly intended on it being a one sided interest I may change that. just because it would be fun.

as for that pic, the sutiation was a happy accident for Hight-Teck. she heard him singing and desided to join in. I gotta say it got alot of  attention on DA lol

as for your question, I think defenantly Pinkie Pie shes uber hyper. obviously eating them cupcakes must get her hyped up. and she eats them things every day of her little life. the CMC have nothin on her.the CMC are only the way they are because they are on a mission to get their Cutie Marks.

Looks like I have another recap to writer up like before. Read at your risk, even more so than Cupcakes.
Don't worry I will examine it as I have a stomach hardened by working as an EMT. Nothing will phase me!

I was unphased by Cupcakes and even Pattycakes but Pattycakes 2 made me feel really uneasy. It had the high tension feel of a psychological horror film (the creepiest kind) throughout. I mean, Scootaloo, had to face traps (non lethal) straight out of the Saw saga. I mean, Fluttershy even behaved and talked like Jigsaw; more disturbingly, she did so while maintaining her bubbly personality.

Word of advice, if you like psychological horror, it might be worth a read.

as for high-Teck hes not a Cyborg, all that stuff comes off ofcourse (please look at my Avatar, that is how he looks without all the techno stuff) he will ofcourse take all his tech/armor off for certain reasons. like bathing, parties (though he will have his front leg computer on) and whenever a friend is trying to get him to relax she usualy removes it for him.

All right, here's my MST of Pattycakes 2. This is my first MST.

Quote
“Okay, let’s see if I can get this right this time.”

The yellow pegasus had grinded the selected herb with the mortar and pestle until it became a fine powder. Mixing the contents of the ceramic bowl with some liquid, she poured the results into the chamber of the alembic. Lighting the burner she began the distillation process, while the rest of the tubes and containers awaited the flow of gasses and liquids as they separated and mixed together again in a symphony of chemistry. After some time the process was completed and the yellow pegasus took the resulting beaker and examined the contents.
Looks like Fluttershy passed chemistry and pharmacology with flying colors

Quote
“Hmmm … the color is a bit off.”

She took a sniff of the liquid in the glass.
Except for the lab safety procedures. Damn, didn’t they tell you to never sniff anything in a chemistry lab? And you’re making a damn regression potion! Put on some PPE or you’ll end up needing “protection” of another sort (read: diapers).

Quote
“Potent. Almost … too potent. Shoot! It’s too powerful to use normally but … hmmm. Maybe for a special occasion. I’ll have to thank Twilight some time for the alchemy set and Zecora for the recipes. Oh wait! I already have.”
“Special occasion”, you mean like Rainbow Dash finally breaks free of your mind control?

And why the hell does Zecora even have a recipe for an age regression potion? Is she into this too!?

Quote
Fluttershy thought about another two memories from her scrap book. Just then she heard the sound of crinkling behind her.

“Mommy, what are you doing?”

Fluttershy turned around to see the mentally broken Rainbow Dash behind her. She was wearing a diaper as she always did nowadays. She had little choice. It seemed like she also constantly bore a simple-minded smiling expression on her face. Fluttershy smiled and walked up to her “filly”.

“Mommy’s working on some more special formula, sweetie,” she said.

“Does this mean I’ll have a new brudder or sister?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Hmmm … perhaps. But mommy’s got to get the mixture just right. Why don’t you go and play with your blocks some more?”

“Okay, mommy.”

Fluttershy stuck Rainbow Dash’s pacifier back into her mouth. The blue pegasus took very well to the act of suckling. Satisfied, the blue pegasus went off to play with her toys. The past week had been the happiest for Fluttershy yet and she intended to keep it like that for as long as possible.
… I… I can’t say anything.

Quote
“Oh, and stay out of the basement. Mommy has to go clean it up later,” called Fluttershy.
If you tell a toddler that something is forbidden, they’ll do it. Not the best way to keep a secret.

Quote
It was raining. That much was certain. But for the little orange pegasus known as Scootaloo, that was the last thing on her mind. The little filly’s wings were too small to allow her to fly, but they served well enough as a means of propulsion when riding her scooter. Even as the weather was bad, she sped through the rain on her scooter making her way to Sweet Apple Acres. Raindrops bounced off her helmet creating a sort of natural percussion. Eventually she reached her destination, a secluded part of the farm where the Cutie Mark Crusaders clubhouse built in one of the trees stood. The windows were lit which meant that her other two friends were home. Parking her scooter under the tree, she took off her helmet, set it on the scooter, climbed the ramp, shook herself off, and entered.

“Hello, fellow crusaders!” said Scootaloo.

“Heya!” said Apple Bloom who was wrapping up some small cardboard boxes.

“Hi, Scootaloo,” said Sweetie Belle who was writing on some sheets.

“So what do we have planned for today to get our cutie marks?” asked Scootaloo.
 
“Cutie Mark Crusader tri-athletes? Cutie Mark Crusader treasure hunters? Cutie Mark Crusader dungeon crawlers?”

“There are dungeons in Ponyville?” asked Sweetie.

“Well maybe there’s treasure buried in the dungeons,” suggested Scootaloo. “Then we could be Cutie Mark Crusader treasure hunting dungeon crawlers.”

“Girls, ahm pretty sure there ain’t no dungeons in Ponyville,” said Apple Bloom.
“Besides, we have a more important task ahead of us.”

“Awesome!” said Scootaloo. “So what’s the plan?”

“Fund raisin’,” replied Apple Bloom.

“Cutie Mark Crusader fund … wait what?!” said Scootaloo.

“Making money,” replied Sweetie Belle. “Some of these attempts to find our cutie marks require having bits to spend, so we’re organizing a fund raiser so we can continue to work on getting our cutie marks.”
And we switch over from the “adult foal” Rainbow Dash to real foals, the CMCs… This is not going to end well.

Quote
“We got some cookies we can sell door to door. We figure about two bits a box would be fair to ask for each,” said Apple Bloom.

“That sounds good,” said Scootaloo thoughtfully. “Wait, who made these cookies? Was it Pinkie Pie?”

“Heavens no!” said Apple Bloom. “Mah sister had extra so she allowed us to sell some. And before you ask, she was very much awake when she baked them and they are very good.”

“Sweet!” said Scootaloo.

The orange pegasus looked outside the window and saw that it was still raining. She let out a sigh.

“It’s a shame that the weather’s not so good for being outside,” lamented Scootaloo. “If only Rainbow Dash had cleared the sky today. Speaking of which, has anypony seen her lately? There hasn’t been a clear day for about week or so.”
The dissonance from the nightmarish situation of Rainbow Dash to the genuine innocence of the CMCs is creepy as hell.

Quote
“I’m surprised you’d want to see her,” said Sweetie Belle. “Hasn’t it been a week since …?”

“Yes, it has. Let’s not get into that,” said Scootaloo.

“Sorry. Anyway jus’ cause the weather is bad don’t mean Rainbow Dash hasn’t been doing her job,” said Apple Bloom. “After all, we need rain jus’ as much as the sunshine. Otherwise none of these here apple trees would grow.”

“Yeah … I suppose that’s true. So cookies, huh?”

“Yep, cookies. Here, try one!” said Apple Bloom handing Scootaloo a spiced apple cookie.

“Mmmm. These are good,” said Scootaloo as she munched on one. “These will raise a lot of bits for sure!”

And so for the rest of the afternoon the crusaders boxed up cookies and planned out their routes for making as much money as possible.
Nothing to say.

Quote
“Hiya, Scootaloo!” said Pinkie Pie.

“Hello, Pinkie Pie,” said Scootaloo. “Look, I know this may seem a little strange considering that you live in a sweet shop, but I was wondering if you’d like to buy some cookies? The Cutie Mark Crusaders are trying to raise funds.”

“Cookies? I love cookies! What kind do you have?”

“Spiced apple! Only two bits a box.”

“I’ll take one!” said Pinkie Pie as she ran off to get some bits and came back shortly after and exchanged two coins for the box.

“Thanks a ton, Pinkie Pie!” said Scootaloo taking the bits and putting them in a satchel. “By the way, have you seen Rainbow Dash by any chance?”

“Rainbow Dash? No. Why? Is it my turn to bring the milk?”
 

Pinkie, you live in a bakery, why would you buy sweets?

Quote
“Huh? Milk? What are you talking about?”

Pinkie Pie blinked for a moment and realized that she said something she shouldn’t have said.

“Sorry,” said the pink pony. “Just having a Pinkie moment. You know me. Sometimes I say and do things that even I can’t understand!”

Scootaloo smiled and nodded, not wanting to argue and knowing full well that Pinkie Pie did say things that often confused her.
“Yeah, like the time I tried making Rainbow Dash cupcakes.”

Quote
“Well if you see her, tell her I’m looking for her.”

“Oki doki loki!” said Pinkie.

And with that Scootaloo trotted back to the scooter and went back on her way. She went from door to door with her little scooter and wagon full of cookie boxes and many ponies whose door she knocked on bought at least one box of cookies. With every stop she made she also asked if any pony had seen Rainbow Dash, but no pony could offer an answer.
Something’s not quite right, now is it Scootaloo?

Quote
Eventually she reached the moss-covered home of Fluttershy and knocked on the door. After about a minute or so, the pink-haired, yellow pegasus answered and smiled upon seeing Scootaloo.

“Oh! Hello, Scootaloo. What can I do for you?”

“I’m selling cookies to raise funds for the Crusaders. Only two bits a box. Would you like to buy one?”

“Certainly! You wait right there. I’ll be right back.”

And with that Fluttershy disappeared from view to get some bits. Scootaloo waited impatiently at the open door, looking inside the house on occasion. She noticed a stove with a pot on the fire that had a baby bottle on it. Soon enough Fluttershy returned and handed the filly two bits. Scootaloo smiled and handed Fluttershy a box of spiced apple cookies in exchange.

“Thanks a ton, Fluttershy,” said Scootaloo. “Listen, I know you’re good friends with Rainbow Dash. Do you know where she’s been?”

“Rainbow Dash? No, I’m sorry. I haven’t seen her in awhile,” said Fluttershy obverting her eyes. “But the weather is nice, so I’m sure she must be out working.”
Yeah, Fluttershy’s hiding something.

Quote
“Yeah … I suppose. By the way, what’s with the baby bottle on the stove?”

“Oh that? I’m foal sitting. Anyway, thank you so much for the cookies. Good luck with your fund raising!”
Well, she’s technically not lying. If you count her adult foal, Rainbow Dash. But still, why have a baby bottle in plain view? If somepony sees that and wants to see the foal, her jig is up.

Quote
“Thanks, Fluttershy. See you later!”

And with that, Scootaloo got back on her scooter and went off on her way to sell more cookies. Later on that day she met up back with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle at the clubhouse. Between the lot of them, they had raised a lot of funds which made them very excited, but deep down inside Scootaloo was worried. Still, that day had brought a lot of nice weather, so she figured Rainbow Dash must have been working, even if she didn’t see her that day.
You’d think that a Pegasus flying at high speeds dragging clouds would be impossible to miss.

Quote
The next day Scootaloo got up bright and early. Once again the sun was shining and the weather was nice, so she decided to go out on her scooter just for the fun of it. No cookie selling for her today. Instead she sped through the dirt and trees, leaping over branches, dodging pedestrian ponies as she zoomed by in the town and generally did everything a holy terror would do. She could see that the weather was clear, so she figured Rainbow Dash had cleared the sky that day. Then she saw a pegasus clearing the sky. Thinking it might has been Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo sped after her until she could see the pegasus more. The pegasus in question was not blue, but rather white with a pink and green mane and tail and a pink flower for a cutie mark.

“Hey you!” Scootaloo called.

The white pony who seemed most surprised flew down from handling the weather and landed in front of Scootaloo.

“Can I help you, little filly?” asked the white pegasus.

“Uh … yeah. Who exactly are you?”

“Oh, I’m Blossomforth. And who might you be?”
Blossomforth’s cutie mark seems rather unsuited for his job. You’d think with a flower cutie mark, he’d be better as a gardener.

Part 2 of my Pattycakes 2 MST:

Quote
“The name’s Scootaloo. Not to be rude or anything, but what exactly are you doing here?”

“Oh,” said Blossomforth, “I’m just clearing the weather so it’s all nice and bright. Is there a problem?”

“No … er, yes … er, I mean … I thought Rainbow Dash usually handles the weather here in Ponyville.”

“Yes, that’s my understanding as well,” said the white pony. “I’m just filling in for her until she gets better.”

“ ëGets better?’ What? Is she sick?” asked Scootaloo.

“I’m sorry,” said Blossomforth. “I don’t know the details. I was just told that Rainbow Dash was in no condition to do her usual Weather Team duties here in Ponyville and that I should take over for them until further notice.”
“No condition to do her usual Weather Team duties”, understatement of the century.

Quote
“And who told you that she was in no condition to do her duties?” said Scootaloo whose suspicion was all the more peaked.

“I believe it was Fluttershy,” said Blossomforth thoughtfully.
Why the hell would Fluttershy know that Rainbow Dash is in no condition to work? Oh wait, she kidnapped, drugged and forcibly regressed her!

Quote
Scootaloo blinked for a moment looking dumbfounded.

“Something wrong?” asked Blossomforth.

“No … nothing. Sorry to have bothered you,” said Scootaloo who sped off on her scooter.

Scootaloo didn’t even give the white pegasus time to say goodbye. She rode straight over towards Fluttershy’s house. She didn’t stop by to see the other crusaders or even tell anyone else where she was going, which in hindsight may have been a bad idea. Suspecting something but never imagining the magnitude of the situation, she rode as fast as the wind could take her.
Real smart move, heading towards a potential problem area without the authorities or backup.

Quote
When she finally got to her destination she was surprised to find that the front door was open but Fluttershy was nowhere to be seen. Scootaloo parked her scooter, set down her helmet and crept inside the house. She looked around for any sign of the yellow pegasus but found none.
 
What idiot leaves a door open when there is a baby in the house? Doubly so when said “baby” is a mentally regressed adult, whom you kidnapped? I’m surprised Fluttershy hasn’t been caught yet!

Quote
“Fluttershy? Are you home?” Scootaloo called out.

She received no answer but heard the sound of giggling and what sounded like plastic objects banging against eachother.
Damn it! Don’t let her know you’re in her house or she’ll regress you too!

Quote
“Well Fluttershy did say she was foal sitting. Maybe she’s with the foal,” thought Scootaloo.

Scootaloo followed the source of the sounds until it led her to a closed door. She knocked on the door but got no response. Opening the door she definitely heard a foal playing and giggling, but did not see the foal just yet. As she came very slowly around the corner she could see the back of an unidentified blue pegasus. Her mane was wrapped in pink bonnet and her tail was obstructed by a bean bag chair.

“Ummm … excuse me, little filly” said Scootaloo. “Have you seen Fluttershy?”

The blue pegasus turned around and giggled looking straight at Scootaloo. Scootaloo’s eyes grew the size of pie plates and she backed away. She almost screamed at what she saw. It was obvious who the little filly was. It was Rainbow Dash, no mistake about it.
Um, run?

Quote
“Mommy’s waterwing da posies. Do you wanna play wif me?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash? What the …? And you’re … Cut the baby act! It’s seriously freaking me out!”

“Whacha talkin’ bout? I’m justa baby.”

“No you’re not! What’s happened to you?! I used to look up to you!”

Rainbow Dash giggled.

“Looks like someone needs a huggie!” she said as she got up and walked towards Scootaloo, her diapered rear crinkling behind her.

“Stay away from me!” yelled Scootaloo.
Run damn it! Run!

Quote
She ran out of the nursery and to the front door. Interestingly enough, this time the door was closed and locked. Scootaloo began to look for anything that could unlock the door, but it appeared to only open with a key. As she franticly looked for any way to open the door she heard a voice behind her.

“Um … is there something I can help you with?”

Scootaloo turned around to see a familiar yellow pony.

“Fluttershy!” said Scootaloo in desperation, “What the hay is going on? What happened to Rainbow Dash? She’s gone all freaky and … babyish!”

“Oh yeah … I … guess she has.”

“This makes no sense! How did she get this way?”

“Well … um, I guess you could say I had a hoof in it.”
This is not going to end well. At all.

Quote
“What?!” said Scootaloo hardly believing all of this. “You mean to tell me … that this is your doing?!!”

“Yes, I supposed you could say that.”

“But …but why?”

“Well … I wanted a filly of my own, and it seemed the obvious choice to turn my friend into one. We have never been happier. I also have other reasons for doing it that I’m not at liberty to say at the moment.”
Take the easy way out and adopt a foal or get pregnant! There, no psychological torture or drugs are needed.  And what’s with “I’m not at liberty to say”? You’re not working at a top secret military research lab!  

Quote
“That … is … sick!” said Scootaloo who turned around to find another way out of the door, looking to see if a key was hidden nearby.
“Sick” doesn’t quite cover the sheer WTFery and horror that  is adult foal Rainbow Dash.

Quote
“And where might you be going, my little pony?”
Title drop, heh.

Quote
“I’m going to find help for Rainbow Dash! And you too!”

Without making a sound, Fluttershy picked up a nearby vase while Scootaloo’s attention was still focused on the door.

“I’m afraid it’s not quite time for you to go just yet,” said Fluttershy.

Scootaloo started to turn her head around, but she didn’t see the vase coming. It hit the back of her head knocking her out and shattering the vase into a hundred fragments. Scootaloo fell to the floor alive but unconscious, the floor littered with many bits of broken clay. Fluttershy approached and examined Scootaloo.

“Oh my!” said Fluttershy. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, Scootaloo.”
WHAT? You smacked someone in the head with a f---ing vase while their back was turned! How is that not meaning to hurt someone!?

Quote
She picked up the unconscious filly and carried her down into the basement.
“I’m sorry, Scootaloo. I really am. It’s just that you have an appointment to keep and I intend to see that you make it. I don’t envy the headache you will have when you wake up, but I really hope that by the time we’re through, you will be much more understanding. That being said, I wish you luck.”
Oh hell no. This can’t get even worse.

Quote
Scootaloo did eventually wake up with a major headache. When she came to, she was in darkness and it smelled like pine all around her. Feeling around she realized that she was inside a wooden box or crate of some kind. There were some holes that let light and air, but otherwise she was trapped. She couldn’t help but wonder what had gone wrong with Fluttershy. She never knew the yellow pony to have ever done anything like this to anyone before … to her knowledge. Gaining her strength, she tried to push at the sides and top to see if she could open to box, but it was sealed. She tried kicking at the top but it did no good, although it did seem to move the box slightly. So she kicked to the side and box moved more.

Scootaloo kept up this kicking and the box did eventually begin to move more and more. What she could not realize was that the box she was in was on a high shelf and that every kick she delivered on the box pushed her wooden prison more and more over the edge. Eventually, the box finally tipped too much over the edge and down tumbled Scootaloo wooden box and all. The wood of the box was not very thick or strong, so it shattered upon impact and the little orange pegasus was freed. It took awhile, but Scootaloo did get up. She let out a long “ow” as she got her bearings straight.
So Scootaloo was nailed inside a wooden crate? Well, it’s less clichÈ than “strapped to an operating table.”  I guess Fluttershy wouldn’t have cared if Scootaloo was killed or injured when she freed herself.

She looked around. She realized that she was in some sort of basement or storage area. The ground was pure stone and large boxes formed a sort of barrier that prevented her from exploring. Lights were few and far between. There was no natural light at all, only a few dim spotlights that dangled from the ceiling. One such light fell upon a lone antique phonograph with a piece of paper attached to it that said “play me”. Desperate for any answers even if they weren’t ones she would like, she cranked up the phonograph and set the needle on the cylinder.

The phonograph made some scratching noises before it finally spoke.

“Hello, Scootaloo. First of all let me apologize for knocking you out like that. Believe me when I say that none of this is without good reason. That being said, I want to play a game. The rules are simple. All you have to do is follow the path and complete the tests ahead of you. You will learn more about me and what I do and in the process I will learn what sort of pony you are. If you succeed, I can guarantee your freedom. Follow the markings and complete your tests in order. By the way, while you were unconscious I took the liberty of diapering you. Do not remove the diaper just yet as you will need it. Let the game begin.”
How long was Scootaloo out? I must have taken her some time to record all these messages. But still this is like something out of Saw.

Quote
And with that the phonograph turned to static. In her disorientation she didn’t notice that in fact she was in fact wearing a diaper.

“Screw this,” she said.

And with that she ripped off the diaper that was on her flank and tossed it to one side. Looking around she noticed painted arrows on the floor illuminated by spot lights that indicated where she should go. Turning down a hallway she saw more painted arrows and dim lights and followed accordingly. There was occasional debris, but nothing dangerous. She couldn’t help but feel that this might have been like some sort of haunted house and that a skeleton or ghost might pop out at any moment to scare her. At least the atmosphere was fitting. She walked until she felt something wet going down her leg. Startled she looked between her legs.

“Gah! What the hay? I didn’t even feel it!”

The little filly was urinating and uncontrollably at that. Understandably agitated, she shook herself off when the urine stopped. Walking a bit further down the hallway she saw a little table with a box and a note on it. The note said, “In case you don’t follow the first instruction.” Scootaloo opened the box and looked inside.

“Figures.”

Scootaloo reached into the box and pulled out a fresh diaper. Realizing that Fluttershy wanted her to play by the rules and that she had no way of knowing whether or not she was incontinent, she decided to put it on despite how strange and immature it made her feel. Once she was done she continued on her way and soon encountered a red painted arrow pointing to a door. The door had red painted words on it that said “Feel as I feel” on it. Pushing the door open she stepped inside.
At least Fluttershy’s kind enough to ensure her “victim” doesn’t get diaper rash. Or suffer a loss of dign- wait, Scootaloo’s been nailed inside a crate, forcibly diapered and now has to play some sort of twisted game. How could this get worse!?

Quote
The act of opening the door pulled on a string that activated a mechanism that caused a series of lights to go on in the room. The first light illuminated a nearby wall full of photos. In each photograph was an image of a different pony, each in diapers and in a playful pose. Each photograph had a name and date on it. Looking through the photographs Scootaloo was surprised to see many faces and names she recognized like Pinkie Pie, Big Macintosh, Soarin’ and Twilight Sparkle along with others she didn’t recognize like Derpy Hooves, Cupcake, Flying Sparks and Bon Bon. Next to all the pictures was a list with names and dates along with a number assigned to each one. Then a light illuminated on a phonograph which began to play automatically from the same mechanism that turned on the lights.
What? The whole town’s in on this? What did she do? Use her legendary stare on them?
And the image of Big Macintosh  and Soarin’ in diapers… hand me the bucket!

Quote
“Hello, Scootaloo. What you see before you is a wall of my precious memories. Every photo is a record of one of my cherished times with one of my past babies. Long ago I discovered that I had an interest in infantilism and age play. It brought me so much joy. I wanted to share this joy with as many ponies as possible, so I devised the number system. When a pony’s number comes up, I approach them and explain what it is I want to do with them for one night. Most of think the idea is a bit weird at first, but I eventually convince the vast majority of them to try it. Even then, act of age play can be difficult for first timers. So I took up alchemy and in time devised a special chemical that in small doses temporarily removes inhibitions and induces an infantile state. A foal formula. I call it ëfoalmula’. It is odorless, tasteless and dissolves in most liquids. In my passion I made two rules. The first rule was never to abuse foalmula to force my interest on another. The second rule was never to practice age play with actual foals.  But recently I broke both rules, the first with Rainbow Dash, and the second with you. The reasons why will eventually become clear. Now for your first test …”
Did you make those rules just to break them? Yeah, Screw the Rules, I have Foalmula!

Quote
The rest of the lights went on and the door behind Scootaloo slammed shut and locked. Scootaloo was startled by the slamming door, but her attention was quickly drawn to a mechanical plate on a pedestal near the far wall with a mirror on it. The plate was a connected to lock mechanism on a nearby door. Next to it was a box full of colorful pacifiers. On the wall behind it was a sixty second clock that was also connected to the mechanism.

“I imagine you’re feeling stressed right now. One thing I have found calming in times of stress is the simple act of suckling on a pacifier. So I have provided you with a whole box full of them. The device with the metal plate will unlock the door next to it, but it needs a special kind of key. The key is found in one of the pacifiers in the box and it can only be used when it is suckled on. In order to exit the room, you’ll have to find the right pacifier, bring it to the plate and suckle over it. I also provided you with a mirror so you can see how cute you look as you try each pacifier. Don’t take too much time to admire yourself, though. Take a good look at the canisters in the corners of the ceiling …”
She really put a lot of thought into this. She has no children, how did someone not notice that she was buying hundreds of pacifiers?
And the mirror, that’s just cruel.
But hey, at least she’s got the decency to try her own pacifiers.

Quote
Scootaloo looked up in corners of the ceiling. In each one was a canister with the words “foalmula” painted on it. They were hooked up by wires to the device. Scootaloo gulped when she saw them.

“If you fail to open the door within the allotted time, the doors will remain locked and a special gaseous form of foalmula will be released into the room. I don’t think I need to tell you what will happen to you if you breathe it. You have sixty seconds to exit the room. Live or die … oh, wait … no, I shouldn’t say that. That’s just mean. Um … oh, I know! Live or try! Make your choice!”
Yeah, Fluttershy’s channeling Jigsaw.

Quote
Soon afterwards, the cylinder of the phonograph stopped and clock began to count down. Sixty seconds. Realizing that this was serious, she ran to the box, picked up the first pacifier, ran to the plate, popped the pacifier in her mouth, put her snout over the plate and suckled on the pacifier. She couldn’t help but see herself as she did it in the mirror. The sight of it was humiliating but the door did not open. Spitting out the pacifier she looked at the clock. Fifty seconds. She had to work faster. She grabbed two, ran to the plate and tried one after another. No go, she tried another two and another two. Nothing happened.

Forty seconds. She worked as fast as she could, suckling pacifier after pacifier. The action became almost autonomous and despite all the pressure that was on her, the act of suckling the pacifier was soothing to her which aided in her quest to find the oral key. Thirty seconds. Scootaloo was really beginning to panic as every pacifier was a different color and she couldn’t tell if there was supposed to be a correct one she was looking for. She just tried one after another. Twenty seconds. The box was half empty and pacifiers littered the floor, but the door was not opened. Scootaloo began to cry but kept at her task. Ten seconds. Scootaloo pulled out a pacifier that was at the bottom of the box, popped it in her mouth, brought it to the plate and suckled. The door opened. Without spitting out the pacifier she ran out of the door and it closed behind her and locked. Scootaloo sat on the floor, still suckling the pacifier that brought her freedom, resting for awhile.
So Fluttershy’s graduated to making the victims break themselves?

Quote
When she had finally calmed down she took out the pacifier and examined it. It was orange with a purple shield and a butterfly on the front. It was her colors. She looked back at the door she came through. There was a piece of string tied in a circle and taped to the door. She pulled down the string, tied the pacifier handle with a cow hitch in the string and hung the pacifier around her neck. She had already discarded her diaper before and it met with disaster. Considering the unpredictable nature of the game, she didn’t want take any chances even if she couldn’t foresee needing the pacifier. Getting her bearings straight, she looked around her. She was in a hallway with another set of arrows and at once set to follow them, not knowing where they would lead.
Fluttershy really thinks of everything.

Quote
As Scootaloo walked further down the hallway, she noticed a bunch of photos that were hung from strings that were attached from wall to wall like clotheslines. Looking at some of the photos she saw ones of Fluttershy and other ponies together and dressed up in foal outfits. The participants in photo looked so happy, but they still made the little filly feel really weird. As she walked down the path she wondered if she was still in Fluttershy’s house. Granted she had never been in the yellow pegasus’ basement before, so it was impossible to tell, but it still seemed really strange for someone like Fluttershy to have all this in her house.
How did people not notice this basement of horrors? You’d think one of the worker ponies would blab about it. Wait, maybe she regressed them too.

Quote
Eventually she came upon yet another door that had “Do as I do” painted in red letters on the door. Considering the words of the previous door, she was not looking forward to whatever was on the other side of the door. Still Scootaloo got her courage up, opened the door and stepped inside. It wasn’t dark inside but Scootaloo had a hard time figuring out what the room was. As before, the door closed behind her and she saw what appeared to be a changing table, a wardrobe, a diaper pail and a crib. Coming from the crib were a series of wires connected to a monitor of some kind that was letting out a constant beep and had a bright red light.

Horror filled Scootaloo’s heart when she realized that the crib had an occupant, a sleeping occupant who was waking up. The pony in the crib let out a yawn and stretched. Coming closer Scootaloo could make out the features of the pony. She was a unicorn with a white coat and a purple mane. She as dressed in a rather infantile yet frilly pink dress that completely trimmed with white lace. Then Scootaloo gasped when she realized who the unicorn was. Rarity opened her eyes but she didn’t look happy. She looked rather cranky. She turned to Scootaloo, looking at her in a way that Scootaloo had never seen.
ARGH!

Quote
“Mommy? Is that you? I need a grownup!” said Rarity.

Rarity began to cry and the monitor began to beep faster and faster.

“Rarity? Not you too! And what the hay is that machine?”

Suddenly a phonograph in the corner of the room turned on and once again Scootaloo heard Fluttershy’s voice emanating from it.

“Hello, Scootaloo. If you’re hearing this recording it means you passed the first test. Congratulations! Now for your second test. The pony in the crib is a very good friend of mine. You might know her normally as ëRarity’ but here she is known as ëPrincess Prettypants.’ Isn’t her dress cute? Custom made adult foal wear by her. She and I often have had a lot of fun together and she has agreed to help me in this test. She has been given a small amount of foalmula which has temporarily reduced her to an infantile state of mind. Even as a foal, she never liked getting dirty and it just so happens that she has messed her diaper which is making her very cranky. You can see it in the monitor she is hooked up to which measures her heart rate and stress levels. This monitor also controls the door lock mechanism. Simply stated, to open the door, you will need to bring her stress levels back to normal and do that you will need to change her diaper. Don’t even think about disconnecting the monitor from her either as a flatline will cause you to fail the test. Everything you need is there at the changing table. Live or try. Make your choice.”

Yeah, Rarity agrees to aid in unlawful imprisonment. And wouldn’t someone notice the adult foal wear she’s making? On top of that she’s willing to soil herself. WHY WOULD RARITY DO THIS?!
And here’s more Jigsawshy

Quote
The phonograph stopped but Rarity looked far from stopping. She was crying and clearly agitated. All this was very weird for Scootaloo and the thought of changing an adult pony’s diaper was not pleasing to her. But she knew that somehow she had to past this test. Realizing that the door would only open with lowered heart rate and stress, she wondered if she could possibly calm Rarity down without having to change her diaper.

“Uh, Rarity? I … really don’t want to do this. Can we discuss this like … er … grown ponies?”

“Mommy? My diaper’s all icky! Could you pwease tange me?”

Scootaloo put her hoof to her face. This was not going to be easy.

“Okay listen, Rarity …” said Scootaloo.

“Pwincess,” said Rarity.

“Come again?”

“Pwincess. I’m Pwincess Pwettypants.”

“Okay fine. Fine. Princess Prettypants. Can you get out of the crib and up on the changing table so I can change you and get this test over with?”

Rarity huffed and shook her head from side to side.

“Dun wanna,” Rarity pouted.

“You don’t want me to change your diaper?”

“No. Wan mommy to tange me. Dun wanna weave my cwib.”
Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it does.

Quote
Scootaloo sighed. Realizing that she didn’t have the strength to pick the pony up and put her on the changing table, she decided to do things Rarity’s way. From the looks of the monitor, she was not calming down anytime soon. Scootaloo approached the crib, looked around and noticed that the crib was of the drop-side variety. Realizing this she pulled the side down, resting it on the floor. Now she had complete access to Rarity and saw the detail of her adult foal dress as well as the collection of stuffed animals with her. Rarity looked at Scootaloo smiled at her but was still quite fussy.

“Okay. Sit tight for a moment,” said Scootaloo.

Scootaloo ran over to the changing table and grabbed as many supplies as she could, bringing them over to vicinity of the crib. She brought baby wipes, talcum powder, a new diaper and she moved the pail closer. Then Scootaloo climbed into the crib. Rarity was still as fussy as ever.

“Rar … I mean … Princess Prettypants, I’m going to need you to lay still for me while I change you. Can you do that?”

Rarity stopped fussing for a moment and looked to Scootaloo.

“I can twy,” said the big baby unicorn.

Scootaloo nodded and lifted up the unicorn’s dress. One look at her diaper and it was obvious that she needed a change both from sight and smell. Scootaloo really did not want to do this, but she had little choice.

“Okay, here we go,” said the little orange filly.

Scootaloo opened the diaper.

“Ewww … how do real mommies deal with this?”

It took awhile, but Scootaloo took a deep breath, removed the diaper, wrapped it in a ball, and tossed it into the diaper pail. Then she took a baby wipe and cleaned the adult foal unicorn as much as she could. Rarity appeared to be enjoying this highly. Once Scootaloo was done, she applied some powder and took out the new diaper. Unfolding it, she placed it under Rarity’s croup. This was no easy task considering that Rarity weighed much more than she was used to lifting. Still, she managed to get the new diaper on Rarity and secured the tapes in place.
Let’s hope Rarity doesn’t remember this when she returns to her normal state.

Quote
“There! All better!” said Scootaloo.

Scootaloo put Rarity’s dress back down, put the baby wipes and talcum powder away and slid the door of the crib back up. The monitor was still beeping rapidly, but not as much as before. Scootaloo let out a sigh.

“I changed your diaper!” said Scootaloo. “What more do you want from me?”

“Sing for me, mommy?” asked Princess Prettypants.

“Ugh! Okay, fine. Uh … what was it that Fluttershy sang?

Scootaloo thought for a moment, cleared her throat and began to sing albeit not nearly as well as Fluttershy or Sweetie Belle did.

“Hush now, quiet now,
It's time to lay your sleepy head,
Hush now, quiet now,
It's time to go to bed…”

“Uh … that’s all I remember,” said Scootaloo

It seemed to be working, however. Soon enough Rarity was beginning to get herself comfortable and seemed to be drifting off into a nap. The monitor began to slow it’s beeping until eventually the light on the monitor turned from red to green. The door mechanism unlocked. Sighing in relief, Scootaloo walked toward the door, stopping only to look at the resting Rarity.

“Have to admit she’s kinda cute like this,” she thought.
Cute? An adult pegasus regressed into the mind of an infant and dressed in infantile clothing isn’t something I’d call cute. I’d prefer “unsettling”.

Quote
Scootaloo opened the door and stepped outside. She still was wearing the diaper and pacifier and wondered in the back of her mind if she should have given them to Rarity. Putting it out of her mind, she continued on, wondering what her next test would be.
“After all this, I hope it’s something simple like say, kill one of my friends.”

Part 3 of my MST:

Quote
Scootaloo walked down the path and down another hallway. This time it was not nearly as long as the others and it didn’t take long before she reached her next destination. Same as before, there was a door with red letters on it. This time they read “See as I see.” She pushed open the door and stepped inside and once again the door closed and locked behind her. This room was really simple. The room was effectively halved by a glass wall. There was a door to the right on each side of the glass wall, which she guessed was a possible exit for each side. In front of her was a large console with a large lever and a stool in front of it. This console dominated the view of the room, so she didn’t see around it at first.

Walking around to take a good look at the room she realized that the room beyond that glass wall was some sort of cell and there was a prisoner inside! Resting on a single twin size mattress was a certain diapered pegasus with a blue coat and a rainbow colored mane and tail. She appeared to be resting but when she saw Scootaloo enter, she got up and looked at her as if she was the last person she expected to see.

“Pipsqueak? Is that you?” said Rainbow Dash.

“Yes, it’s me!” said Scootaloo pressing her hooves against the glass. “Are you okay, Rainbow Dash? Are you … all there?”
Rainbow Dash recovered! Yay!

Quote
“Yeah … I think so,” said Rainbow Dash walking to the glass. “Last thing I remember was … going to Fluttershy’s house. Kind of a blur after that. Then I woke up in this place. Now could you hurry up and get me out of here?”

“Sure! Hold on!” said Scootaloo and she looked around.

Scootaloo turned her attention to the lever on the console, but had no clue what it did. Looking around some more she found yet another phonograph, once again with a sign that said “play me”. Deciding it was better to know the rules, Scootaloo turned the crank of the phonograph and set it to play.

“Hello, Scootaloo and welcome to your third test. In previous tests I had you feel as I feel and do as I do. Now you shall see as I see. There’s a funny thing about foalmula. Its effects eventually wear off if it is not administered periodically. I’ve been trying to develop one that has a more permanent effect. The pony on the other side of the glass has recently recovered from the effects of foalmula. You know her very well. You’ve looked up to her as long as you can remember. You think of her as a big sister, a hero, a role model, and at times a loved one. I invite you to see her as I see her, a simple, ordinary pony capable of faults like everypony else. You place her on the pedestal, but do you honestly believe she thinks of you nearly as much as you think of her? Back during the meteor shower you were quick to take out her garbage. Would she ever be so quick to return the favor? Look to the walls behind you.”
And still more Jigsawshy

Quote
Scootaloo looked at the wall behind her. Attached to the wall was a series of pages that looked like they were taken from a journal of some kind. Upon closer inspection it was clear that they were part a particular pony’s journal. Rainbow Dash’s Journal. Scootaloo began to skim over the pages. Many referred to Scootaloo by name with nothing positive to report. Others made reference to “the pipsqueak”, “that annoying thing” or “that filly who follows me around a lot”. A couple flat out expressed the wish that Scootaloo would just leave her alone. One or two questioned where her family was and why they weren’t giving her attention. And yet others just flat out insulted Scootaloo.

“Look well, Scootaloo. These journals serve as an insight as to what Rainbow Dash thinks of you, but you yourself know the most telling evidence of all.”
Rainbow Dash doesn’t seem like the pony to keep a journal. Forgeries by Jigsawshy, perhaps?

Quote

When Rainbow Dash heard this, she began to shake her head.

“Think back to the events of a week ago.”

Scootaloo had put it out of her mind, but the memory came flooding back. She was standing the middle of field. It was sometime in the afternoon and it was raining. Over that past day, Scootaloo had been doing everything in her power to assist Rainbow Dash who had agreed to take her under her wing that day. It started out smoothly, but over the course of the day, things got worse. Scootaloo’s performance in the tasks assigned to her worsened over the length of the day. And the more Scooraloo tried, the worse she performed and Rainbow Dash became more and more annoyed. By the day’s end, Scootaloo had been involved in an unfortunate accident in the middle of one of Rainbow Dash’s assignments that had resulted in the loss of some of her feathers. Rainbow Dash was clutching her wing close to her and wincing in pain.

“Gah! My wing! I could have lost my ability to fly for weeks because of your recklessness, pipsqueak!”

“I’m sorry, Rainbow Dash! I really am! I just did what you told me to! Please let me try again! I’ll do better next time!”

“There won’t be a next time! Go home! We’re done here!”

“But please! I want to be a good assistant!”

“I don’t need a goddamn assistant!”

And without thinking, Rainbow Dash delivered a mighty slap to Scootaloo’s head that was so powerful that it knocked her clear into the dirt, which had turned to mud in the rain. Scootaloo eventually got up after some time, a mark on her face where Rainbow Dash had hit her. She looked up at Rainbow Dash who stared back at her in horror.

“Scootaloo … I …” said Rainbow Dash.

But Scootaloo didn’t give Rainbow Dash time to finish. She ran as far away as possible, tears running down the sides of her face. That is where the memory ended. When Scootaloo opened her eyes she was back in the room with the glass wall separating her and Rainbow Dash. She had tears in her eyes and she looked straight at Rainbow Dash.

“I’m … so sorry!” said Rainbow Dash.

Scootaloo only held her hoof in front of her.
Rainbow Dash can be a jerk sometimes but I don’t think she’d ever hit Scootaloo.

Quote
“Now you have a choice to make. In front of you is a console with a lever that will determine the fate of you both. Using it will free one pony while exposing the other to a potent gaseous form of foalmula. If you pull the lever towards you, you can free the pegasus that you put on a pedestal so much, forever freeing her of her captivity. But in doing so, you will surrender yourself to the foalmula and become my baby. Or you can push the lever towards her, save yourself and in the process regress the pegasus that has treated you so poorly all this time to the point of infancy. You can get back at her and make sure she doesn’t hurt you anymore. And maybe you can be to her what she failed to be to you. So what will it be, Scootaloo? Put her needs before your own like you have done time and time again or take destiny into your own hooves and be the older and wiser pony for once? Live or try. Make your choice.”
Scootaloo stared at the console and approached it. She stepped up onto the stool and put her hoof on the lever. She looked straight into Rainbow Dash’s eyes. They were full of fear and panic.

“Scootaloo … can you ever forgive me?” said Rainbow Dash.Scootaloo took a deep breath and let it out, looking intently at the older pony.

“I just wanted you to love me,” said Scootaloo choking up.

“But, pip … er, Scoot … I do love …”

“No you don’t! You’ve always been so cool and fearless, everything I’ve ever wanted to be, but you never once … told me you cared about me!”

Rainbow Dash was at a loss for words.

“But I forgive you …” said Scootaloo.

Rainbow Dash let out a sigh of relief.

“… which is why I’m going to give you a second chance … at being a foal.”
Ouch, that was cold, Scootaloo, really cold. Congratulations, you just permanently regressed someone against their will, how do you feel?

Quote
Scootaloo pushed the lever all the way forward. Rainbow Dash’s eyes grew to the size of pie plates as terror gripped her heart. She began to bang on the glass wall, hoping to break it, not realizing it was acrylic glass and therefore could not be broken by her. And the faster she banged on the glass, the faster she breathed in the foalmula gas. She began to cough at first and then felt weak at the knees. She fell back on her padded rear and began to cry. She cried like an infant pony, flailing her hooves in the air. The door to Scootaloo’s side opened and stepped out, leaving the wailing blue pegasus behind her.
Again, I have to congratulate Fluttershy for all the thought and preparation she put into this. But still, how did nopony know about this basement of horrors?

Quote
Scootaloo had expected the test with Rainbow Dash to be the last, which is why she was surprised that it appeared as though she was not quite done yet. There was no hallway this time. Instead the door she came out of led into another room and once again, the door closed behind her. She looked around and saw a door on the other side of the room that was glowing purple. In the center of the room was a simple table with two objects: a glass of water and a baby bottle full of milk. Scootaloo looked around for a phonograph of some kind and sure enough there was one, once again labeled with a familiar note that read “play me”. Scootaloo approached it, turned the crank and set the machine to play once more.

“You’re almost done, Scootaloo. You’ve made it past three tests. By now you’ve learned all about what I do and hopefully gained an understanding of my passions and methods. And by the looks of your previous test, you’re ready to take destiny into your own hooves. The question is: what destiny will it be? I present to you your final test. This one is very simple. Look at the table and you will see two drinks. One is a glass of ordinary drinking water and the other is a baby bottle filled with ordinary cow milk. The door has been magically enchanted by one of my unicorn foals to only open if a certain condition is met. The condition is that you drink one of these liquids. Once that happens the door will open and the game will be over. You may be guessing that one of them has foalmula added to it. That would be a logical guess. The question is: if one of them does contain foalmula, which one is it? You can’t tell beforehand because foalmula is colorless, tasteless and dissolves in liquids. While this may seem like a guessing game, it is not. All you have to do is think about what you’ve learned today and whether or not you’re ready to accept it. Now it is time for you to make a choice.”
Just like Jigsawshy to pull a fast one.

Ending A
Quote
Scootaloo examined the table with the two drinks. After careful consideration she picked up the glass of water, brought it to her lips and drank it all in one gulp. The glow of door ahead of her subsided and opened. There was a brightness that emanated from the other side of the door that she was not used to after having spent so much time in dim light. It almost blinded her. Still she walked into the light. After her eyes finally adjusted to the natural light, she looked and saw that she was indeed inside Flutterhy’s house and Fluttershy herself was looking at her and smiling.

“You made it!” said Fluttershy as if Scootaloo has won a board game.

“Yes, I’m out. I played your game,” said Scootaloo proudly.
And Scootaloo’s nightmare is over. But still Fluttershy’s reaction to this is…disturbing.
 
Quote
“Very well, I might add. By the way, which drink did you choose in the end?”

“I chose the glass of water.”

“May I ask you why you did?”

“Yes,” said Scootaloo. “As you said before, my destiny is in my own hooves. It felt good to get back at Rainbow Dash. I see now why you did it. It was to punish her for the deeds she did against me and to bring me here to see if I had what it took to do something equally as humiliating to her. I’m grateful for that. But I know very well that I am not a foal. I feel like a grown mare now that I’ve seen older ponies crawl around like newborn fillies. I’m ready to put all this behind me. That’s why I chose the glass of water. I don’t want to associate with anything baby related anymore.”
Sound reasoning but knowing Jigsawshy, there’s probably a twist somewhere. And not a pleasant one.

Quote
“So you think that’s why I brought you here? Revenge?”

“It seems a good of reason as any. Now if there isn’t any more business left between us, I’m going to take off these …”
Wow, Scootaloo sounds like a real jerk at this point.

Quote
But Scootaloo didn’t get to finish her sentence. She messed her diapers without even realizing it. She stood in horror and looked behind her at her soiled rear and back to Fluttershy.
“I’m sorry, Scootaloo,” said Fluttershy. “It looks to me like you chose the drink with the foalmula.”
“But … but … I …”
“And it’s a very powerful version of it too.”
“I … all messy … hard to think … I …”
“Don’t worry, Scootaloo. I don’t blame you for making the wrong choice.”
“I’m … big pony … I … I …”
Oh, that’s not good. Kiss your growing up goodbye.

Quote
“Unfortunately you failed the grasp the lesson of the game. You see in this world foals are expected to act like foals and grown ponies expected to act like grown ponies. But in this life it’s real tragedy that some foals grow up too soon. Youth is wasted on the young. I argue that age should be irrelevant to how one acts. Foals and grown ponies should be expected to act old and young. When Rainbow Dash mistreated you, I regressed her to help her. When I presented her to you, you quickly acted like a grown pony her, but you refused to act like a foal for me in your final test. And that is why you failed.”
That’s why Fluttershy did this horrific psychological torture!? She wanted to prove a point about social expectations and behavior of aging? It takes a really f---ed up head to come up with ideas like that.

Quote
Scootaloo tried to say something but the words could not be formed. She struggled to talk and even more to stand up. She looked up at Fluttershy as if silently pleading with her to make it stop. But it didn’t stop. Eventually the look of fear disappeared from eyes. It was replaced with a different look. The look of a small foal who didn’t know anything about the world and was scared of it. She fell down and began to cry. Fluttershy ran down to Scootaloo and picked her up.

“Awww … there, there,” said Flutteshy nuzzling the crying broken filly, “Don’t be sad, my little filly. Mommy’s here. From the looks of things you won’t be taking anytime soon. If ever! But at least Dashy now has a little sister. Mommy will always be here for you now.”

Fluttershy kissed Scootaloo on the forehead which seemed to calm down the now infantile orange filly. Never again would she be obsessed with earning her cutie mark, pleasing Rainbow Dash or doing death-defying feats on her scooter. She had been given the strongest version of foalmula that Fluttershy had ever concocted so her regression was made essentially permanent. Flutteshy took the pacifier around Scootaloo’s neck and placed it in the filly’s mouth and in that moment her cutie mark appeared. A purple pacifier.
So Scootaloo’s “job”/destiny in life is being Fluttershy’s baby, forever? Urgh, I’d rather see Scootaloo turned into cupcakes than suffer this fate.

Quote
“Game over,” said Fluttershy.
That is one of the most sadistic and disturbing uses of that term I have ever heard.

Ending B
Quote
Scootaloo examined the table with the two drinks. After careful consideration she picked up the baby bottle, brought the nipple to her lips and began to suckle. It was weird and time consuming, but eventually she finished the milk off. The glow of door ahead of her subsided and opened. There was a brightness that emanated from the other side of the door that she was not used to after having spent so much time in dim light. It almost blinded her. Still she walked into the light. After her eyes finally adjusted to the natural light, she looked and saw that she was indeed inside Flutterhy’s house and Fluttershy herself was looking at her and smiling.

“You made it!” said Fluttershy as if Scootaloo has won a board game.

“Yes, I’m out. I played your game,” said Scootaloo proudly.

“Very well, I might add. By the way, which drink did you choose in the end?”

“I chose the bottle of milk.”

“May I ask you why you did?”
This can’t be good.

Quote
“Yes,” said Scootaloo. “I was thinking long and hard about it. Then I realized I had no way of knowing which one would be correct. Then I thought about these tests and what they all pointed to. I thought about the first two tests in which I got to see things from your perspective. I then got to thinking that maybe there’s a deeper reason that you do all this. Then I thought about the test with Rainbow Dash. I was happy I was able to get back at Rainbow Dash, but as I saw her wriggling on the floor like a newborn, I realized that the same thing could have easily have happened to me. Then I remembered about you saying to take my destiny into my own hooves. That’s why I decided that if I were to be regressed, I should do so of my own accord. That’s why I chose the milk.”
Scootaloo, you sound like a real jerk. I mean, permanently turning Rainbow Dash into a foal for smacking you is just plain disproportionate retribution.

Quote
“I see,” said Fluttershy. “What would you say if were to tell you that you chose the drink without the foalmula?”

Scootaloo’s widened as a smile came over her face.

“You … you mean it? I survived the game?”

“That’s right,” said Fluttershy. “Your will is still your own. You know most ponies are so ungrateful to have free will. But not you. Not anymore.”

“So what happens now?”

“Don’t ask me! You’re the one with free will! You can do whatever you want! For example … you can go back home.”

“Yeah! Go back home!” said Scootaloo starting for the door, “That’s what I can do. I can take off this diaper and … yeah … do stuff … at home.”

Scootaloo stopped and lightly brushed the floor with her hooves. Fluttershy seemed to notice this and approached.

“You know, Scootaloo. This is just a suggestion. Um … not saying you have to. Just for consideration …”

“What is it?”
So  Fluttershy did this horrific psychological torture to prove a point about free will? It takes a really f---ed up head to come up with ideas like that. Make up your mind, is this hellish experiment about social expectations of aging or free will?

Quote
“Well … there’s always numbers in the list that come up. I could always use an assistant, an apprentice, someone to share my good work with and Rainbow Dash could use an older sister. Plus I have an extra room if you ever wanted to … crash … sleep over … move in … I understand if you don’t want to.”

“Don’t want to? I love to!”

Scootaloo threw herself into Fluttershy’s arms. The two ponies embraced for what seemed like an eternity.

“You don’t have to be alone anymore, my number one assistant.”

“Thank you, Fluttershy. So what happens now?”

“Hey! Didn’t we already go through this?”

“Yes, but I wanted to know what I should do now that I’m your number one assistant.”
But why would you help someone who knocked you unconscious and ran you through a psychological torture chamber?

Quote
“Oh! Well first we should retrieve Rarity and Rainbow Dash. They will need our attention. After we get them taken care of and put to bed … I’m thinking some treats might be nice. I wonder if we contact Pinkie Pie at this hour and have her bring us some cupcakes. Oh and Scootaloo? One more thing.”

“What is it?” asked Scootaloo.

“Game over,” said Fluttershy.

Well it's playtime again
It's always such a pleasure
Remember when I changed you after
You messed twice?

Oh how we laughed and laughed
Except you were crying
Don't worry, my little Dashy
I've been nothing but nice

You'll make a cute young filly
That's what I'm counting on

You used to be so mean
But soon your mind will be gone

She was a lot like you
(Maybe not quite as fussy)
Now little Scootaloo is my protÈgÈ

One day I drugged you up
So I could have you both forever
It's just a shame that your will
Had to be taken away

I know this seems quite sickening
That's what I'm counting on
But it's not like you'll mind it
Now that your mind is gone

Hello my baby girl
Well, of course I mean you!
That would be funny
If it weren't so sad

You will not be replaced
Despite my other babies
When I make it permanent
You'll stop feeling so bad

You'll have the mind of a baby
That's what I'm counting on
You're never hurt anyone else
Now that your mind is gone
Now you are at age one
Now our little game is done
….That poem is genuinely creepy as hell.

-------------
Well, I did it, I MST’d the whole story and both endings and came out relatively unharmed.

This is the reason people believe her to be a troll because she doesn't act the way you would expect from royalty.  The truth is, they just don't fully understand her.

Oh com on! Only about a week left and we are already running out of things to say...um...gotta think of a conversation catalyst...gotta think of a conversation catalyst...

Have you guys heard of these 'Ask Pony' blogs on Tumblr? It's where you ask a pony a question, and if you are lucky to be picked, they draw a picture answering that question. Let me put up some examples (Some may be a little too violent for some, so you might wanna look away)

I fished out some random ones for you to see, and maybe even ask.

Fluttershy drugs and forcibly turns Rainbow Dash into her baby. The sequel features the same to Scootaloo but it is done in the style of Saw.

-------------------------------

Has anyone heard of the "New Lunar Republic"? It's a meme sort of based of the idea of Celestia as a tyrant.

Any how, I found this For the New Lunar Republic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf0tYs5U5RI&feature=related). And to me, it sounds like something from Command and Conquer

And this: Mashup of Soviet March from Red Alert 3 and the "Obey" art (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsljpUfpQek&feature=related)

Solar Empire Anthem (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4rMsUUQMTk&feature=related). It's got an AWESOME choir... even if you can't make out the words that well.

Luna's Army Assembles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Uf4UPvDPrk&feature=related). Not militaristic enough for my taste but it'll do.

Luna's Charge (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZBxbXGck3o&feature=related). Very akin to a military march. There are lyrics (spoken) by the two "generals" and a choir.

And to make up for my Pony militaria, here's some Soarin' with Pie:

(http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/5df4a0d0033c2c05fd9149ed00eb495b/54179%20-%20Soarin%27%20artist%3Ajohn_joseco%20duplicate%20pie.jpg)

---------------------------

On a side note:

What if there was an episode that showed the "dark/mirror" (for lack of a better term) versions of the Mane Six and depicted Ponyville not as a beautiful small town but a dirty, gritty megacity right out of Blade Runner? And the music was replaced with an industrial rock soundtrack in the style (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuJ_aWFH1QQ&feature=related) Batman Beyond (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bK0nDs0wnvM&feature=related) or Iron Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9PhfUsFvj0)?

This idea came from TV Trope's WMG page. Would anyone watch that episode?

I sure as f--- would! MLP plus Industrial Rock plus dark and gritty settings, what's not to like?

I found this fan fic Equestria (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7287020/1/Equestria). It's good but it is one of the most depressing fan fics I have ever read.

Spoiler:
Equestria is the elaborate fantasy world of a woman who had been emotionally abused by her mother. One day the abuse gets so bad that she "wakes up" in Equestria as Twilight Sparkle with "new memories". She gets committed to a mental institution which in her state becomes part of Equestria. She is eventually freed of her delusions but when she leaves the mental institution, she is hit by a car and rendered either comatose or severely brain damaged and is "locked" in Equestria.

I finally got around to sharing my opinion of this show. I enjoy it, that’s for sure. I’ve seen every episode at least twice, and I can’t really complain about this popular series that appeals to me and so many more. I enjoyed the character depth, as well as the various layers created by different combinations, such as Applajack and Rainbow Dash arguing a lot, and the others being especially gentle with matter regarding Flutteryshy. If I hadn’t seen its predecessors, however I would like this a lot more. Honestly, (and ironically) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was not nearly as “magical” to me as My Little Pony and My Little Pony Tales. I am going to look at this show not on its own but in contrast to those that came before it.

I grew up with those two. They were some of my favorite shows back in the day. They had this realistic feel to them that let me really connect with the characters more. The characters had personalities relatable to real people. FiM created some goofy characters that while may be relatable to some people and were certainly entertaining, didn’t really grip me. Take Lancer from MLPT for example. He is a quiet boy who works hard on his life even though he has a lot given to him by his rich family, gives in to peer pressure often, pursues romance, and generally is known for doing the right thing, as, during The Great Lemonade War (or something like that) when he’s talked into helping Ace and Teddy rival the girls’ stand, the girls say to him something along the lines of, “We would have expected something like that from them, but you?” Then we have someone like Pinky Pie. “Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!” /Slam “I was just going to tell you to watch out for that tree!” “I don’t think you should hit the books. I think you should read them.” “Ooh, my tail is twitching, so something is going to fall!” Those things make her a very interesting and likable character, and she brings a lot to her friends’ lives and show as a whole, but I get much more deeply involved in a show where characters are more like Lancer- down to earth but still unique.

The other shows had lessons to learn too, but they were more subtle and “in story,” not thrown at us at the end. That just made those more magical to me, more relatable to. I liked, “Wow, I can’t believe I thought my friends were making fun of me. I’m so sorry you guys for running off like that. Next time, I’ll ask before assuming things,” better than, “Princess Celestia, the lesson I learned this time was that stealing is wrong and we must work for what we want.” Again, FiM was awesome, entertaining, educational, and well-written, but it just didn’t have the dazzle in my heart as the earlier, simpler shows of the franchise. In fact, FiM even alluded to MLPT. Any old-time MLP fans see that? There was an episode of MLPT where Lucky won two tickets to a concert, but her friends found out and wanted to come. So she agreed to take each one (while only with one friend at the time) and when they all came to go and she didn’t have enough for them all, there was trouble, arguing all around. She eventually just let the tickets be won again, though only in her circle of friends to decide which two could go. In the end, she won again, but when the two of them got there, they realized that they couldn’t just leave their friends out so sold the tickets and bought pizza for them all. FiM had TS not agree to ANY of them, think that no one should go, then she got tickets for them all. It was a sort of backwards allusion, but the premise purely existed in both. So even the new show itself felt a sort of admiration for the older days and borrowed from it.

The older shows worked out the emotions more smoothly. They gradually built up to fear, sadness, anger, happiness, and so forth. FiM is very sporadic, like feeling a peaceful satisfaction when they escape the monster at the marsh, then bursting into laughter when TS gets enraged at that not being the doozie, then feeling happy when it meant she accepted it, then laughing when TS wore that umbrella hat, then being in awe when PP’s prediction was about the princess herself. It just sort of jerks us around whereas the other two sort of gradually weaved us into the new situations.

MLPT had males that really helped bring out the story through things like dating which made it even more confusing why FiM ignored male roles for anything important. It worked before, so why leave it behind? When I saw the FiM version of Spike, honestly, I was like, “Oh no, Spike, what have they done to you?” The original Spike, I feel, captured a more gripping personality. They were both baby dragons so had this sort of immaturity, but Spike’s was more realistic and he really seemed to make better use of himself. Spike from FiM cleaned and was an overall assistant while Spike from MLPT just seemed to have more of a grasp on the world as a whole, really defining him in a broader sense. When that child ran off during the movie, he knew he couldn’t stop her so left a note and followed her. He showed this sort of childish tag-along nature, portraying his youth, while being genuinely concerned about her safety and making sure she didn’t get into much trouble while she left to find herself, showing his ability to be very logical and sympathetic. The FiM version, while kind of like that too, just seemed more spoiled, oblivious, and self-centered, while showing favoritism that negatively affected his actions. While Spike from MLPT did a lot of helping out, it just seemed like the FiM version was more needy and did things that would have bothered others more often were not for his youth. I understand the whole “being very young means you’re more out of touch with life,” but I think the original Spike had more of a balance that made him shine.

I feel that the newest show has more realistic expressions, but the older ones have the actual feelings behind them more down pat. When a character from MLPT felt rejected, she ran off crying. When a character in the new one felt that, she made come cool faces, but started acting like she was suffering from vastly increased dopamine levels. It’s like the new show is trying very hard to be entertaining. That’s great! I love entertainment with a passion. Who doesn’t? However, the older two didn’t put so much emphasis on a “putting on a show,” so as a result, they were naturally more entertaining. The first two seemed to me like a man sitting on a sidewalk quietly playing a guitar while the new was like a magic-act guy shouting, “Hey, everyone, look at me!” I really enjoyed FiM. It did a great job holding my interest and had good stories. I just wish it had gripped me without having to try so hard. For those who didn’t grow up with MLP, let me show you the contrast between the first two and the new one. I see them as more gentle while the other is almost pleading for attention:

Examples of the first series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_rIAkb_v8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_rIAkb_v8)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqpV_JP4UVo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqpV_JP4UVo)
(Notice the old Spike in the second video?)

The second series, My Little Pony Tales: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOZLoWu4BHM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOZLoWu4BHM)

The newest, Friendship is Magic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xtle0njT8M (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xtle0njT8M)

I think all three are great shows, all worthy of much praise. It’s just that to me, the latest falls short in terms of being heartwarming and flowing gracefully. Maybe the third was attempting to be less of those, but even if so, I just couldn’t relax as much with or get as enthralled with FiM as the first two. I think if the latest had took a less hyper approach and really tried to show people examples of themselves in a realistic manner, it would have left more memories outside of humor. Some people do prefer a simpler approach, and FiM just had so many twists all over that I feel that it went overkill. A picture with two colors can be prettier than a picture with five. It’s like they crammed every bit of entertainment they could think of into making this show likable, and they certainly did make it enjoyable at that. I only wish they had looked more closely at how well the simpler ones did it and not tried to quadruple the new elements to make it better. It’s almost like taking a boyfriend/girlfriend on a walk through a park, loving it, then suggesting the very day, “Hey, let’s scale the largest mountain in town!” I just feel that, ironically, they would have done more if they’d tried a little less.

Anyhow, after my long drabble, I thought I’d end this with some fun. There is a MLP making program I found online that lets you make your own pony, cutie mark and all. For those who can’t draw (like me) but would like to try your hand at creating a character, here is where you can. Please note, however, that the options are somewhat limited. To show you some examples and my tastes in creating characters, I made three to show you:

AJ, when bowing, you're supposed to take your hat off! :P:

Probably not gonna happen, since Nightmare Moon was defeated and reverted back to Princess Luna.

What if the big twist is that Discord is Celestia's evil brother?

Again, I doubt it. It would be a bit too same- to give Celestia yet another evil sibling.

My bet is that Discord is some sort of dragon-like creature. Mainly because in that big picture, with the stained glass windows in the back, there are alot of pictures of one particular dragon, who apears to have, among other things, a hoofed leg, antlers and a pegasus wing. And there is that one window on the far left and the back right with what appears to be Celestia and Luna flying around the same dragon, only white.

Also, did anyone else notice the window on the far right that actually shows the Mane Six fighting Nightmare Moon? Maybe this is some sort of Hall of Prophecy or something?

And I cannot wait to see how they explain the 2 Twilights thing.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on September 07, 2011, 12:08:10 PM
Yeah it would be a bit boring if it was yet another sibling.

One idea I had about Discord is that he's a more ancient being, perhaps created the original universe (maybe it was chaotic and destructive), and Luna and Celestia defeated him by sealing him up. Now he wants to reclaim the universe from the two princesses.

He might not be a pony; perhaps he could be something else. Or maybe he doesn't even have a true physical form.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

A combination of Twilight, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy

Twilight for my book-smarts and urge to learn more
Pinkie Pie due to my constant cracking of jokes when ever possible
Fluttershy for being very secluded and...well...shy around people NOT on the internet

Twilight for my interest in history and reading

and Fluttershy since I'm kind of a quiet person and some what shy in RL.

A mix of Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy.
Twilight Sparkle: book smarts
Pinkie Pie: all that energy (when I'm not in a personal shell)
Fluttershy: quiet, shy, and...her anger. I'm usually easygoing and not loud at all but when I get mad, it's another story.

Twilight's asocial nature and love of knowledge, Rainbow Dash's laziness, Fluttershy's shyness and Pinkie Pie's random nature (seriously, I say some weird s--- sometimes, especially at night).

^Sorry but that picture just looks wrong.  Having them all drawn in old style MLP I mean.  I didn't like the style then and I certainly don't like it now.  

Now as for my favorite character, it's a really hard choice.  All of the main six have such distinct personalities.  But I must admit, I'm starting to like Applejack more and more.  She's tough, hard working, and extremely cute (please don't read too much into that) despite being so......disheveled most of the time and not caring about her looks.

Actually, now that I think about it more, I realize she's not just cute.  She's beautiful.  Not in the way she dresses right now and how she doesn't care about her looks, but the kind of beauty that's underneath all of that.  All prettied up, she could really pull off an expensive dress and live in high society.  It's even hinted at that in one of the episodes.  But what makes her so alluring to me is the fact that despite her potential in that matter, she's more than happy to have a good days work on the farm and cares more about things like her relationships with her friends than looks and other BS that doesn't matter nearly as much.  

THIS is why I like MLP:FiM.  The characters actually have depth and have a lot of thought put into them.  Applejack isn't just some stereotypical hic workhorse like she appears to be on the outside.  None of the characters are anywhere near as shallow as they appear to be at first glance.  It's both surprising and refreshing to have this quality of characters ANYWHERE nowadays, especially in a show aimed at little kids.  That's why I think MLP:FiM is so popular among older audiences.

The artist probably didn't think he/she could draw FiM style well, so they stuck with a style they felt they could pull off.

Not sure if that's really supposed to be old school MLP style or if it's just the artist's style.

I have a question for everypony here. Which pony are you most like?
Ooh, now that is a tough choice. Honestly, I like them all pretty equally:

Rainbow Dash- I was really glad when I saw that they provided a tomboy character for the show, which definitely helped its appeal (Seriously, did the franchise EVER have a tomboy character before?). Her attitude just appeals to me. She's got the whole semi-punk thing going too, I like that. Plus, maybe it's her shorter mane or something, but I just find her better looking than the others.
Not to mention, she brought the Sonic Rainboom, which is probably one of the most visually spectacular things I've seen in a cartoon for a long time.

Applejack- Not quite as tomboyish as Dash, but she still has the whole gender neutrality thing going on, I like that. She's another relatively uncommon female-character, the country-gal, which is good to see.

Pinkie Pie- Her sheer bizarreness is what appeals to me. Every little thing she does is funny and entertaining to watch. Plus, she kind of has that whole free spirit thing going on, like how she'll just sing to herself as she walks along, or entertaining herself by rolling around in the playground. It's just so cute.

Rarity- Originally, I didn't really like her that much. At first, she seemed like she was just the classic vain fashionista girl-stereotype character. But as I watched her more and more, I realised that she was honestly more of a parody of such characters, and that made her more appealing.

Fluttershy- What do I have to say? You just look at her and your heart melts. Her colour scheme, her blinding-bangs hair, her big eyes, her gentle little voice. Her personality is pretty cute too, with her timid nature, her love of animals... and of course, her occasional lapse in gentleness, which are hilarious to watch.

Twilight Sparkle- Well, she's the main protagonist, and she does it pretty well. It's good that, even though she's amazing at magic, she still has flaws. Her personality is pleasant, she has her cute moments, and her magic is pretty impressive.


One thing I do wonder about is the ages of the mane cast. All I know is that Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie, but nothing else.

I don't think that's how G1 characters are drawn... it's more like the artist tried to draw the ponies as what real ponies look like in real life. :p

Hmm...
Which pony am I most like?
That's tough to say.  
I'd have to say that I'm most like a combination of Twilight and Rainbow Dash, with a small touch of Rarity and Applejack thrown in.

I've got Twilight's bookishness, asocial tendencies, and weird desire to understand everything that happens to me, with Rainbow Dash's impulsive nature, love for going fast, and tendency to slack off and take naps.  I'm like Rarity in my slightly prissy love for personal grooming, and like Applejack in my tendency to be extremely stubborn and hard-working.

So, yeah.

Oddly enough, I have a little of Applejack as well.

My house is a "pseudo-farm" (sizable garden, ~20 or so fruit trees) and in the summer and fall, I usually end up assisting in the harvest.

Speaking of harvest, I have to head back in two weeks (and in mid to late October) to help out.

On a side note:

 CartoonLion [DeviantArt] (http://cartoonlion.deviantart.com/) and she is, and I'm quoting...

Quote
Hello! I'm Cartoonlion but you can call me Cartoony for short I'm the creator of the Second Generation comic series. As you can probably tell my favorite things are dogs, drawing, and pretty girls. In that order. ALSO I LIKE FREAKING LOVE PONIES RIGHT NOW. So my gallery will be spammed with pony stuff for a while so hopefully you can bear with it for the time being!

The reason why her art style is like that is because she created and worked on the Generation 2 My Little Pony Series, which employed a realistic pony approach.

Did I also forget to mention that she, Megasweet, and MadMax are some of my favorite pony artists?

The more you know  :lol

Some other people already did Twilight and Pinkie Pie.

I considered doing a series of these with the other four. The first might be Applejack.

So what do y'all think about this idea?

Not necessarily true.  Season 1 may have done WAY beyond our expectations.  It might've done SO well, that they actually made enough to work for several seasons.  If this is the case then, even if the second season flops, the third will happen, bottom line.

This isn't the first time in the world of entertainment that something like this has happened.  The original "Back to the Future" movie did SO well, it alone made two movies happen.  The second movie actually had a preview trailer for the third movie when it came out in theaters.

Even our own LBT series had this occurrence.  When they brought out the second movie, it boosted sales SO high, both 3 and 4 were guaranteed to happen.

So yeah, this very well could be the case for MLP:FiM.  The first did so well, the third is guaranteed. :D

Actually, season 2 was produced during Season 1. Since Season 2 is now finished, they will begin work on Season 3, and yes, it takes that long to produce about 10-11 hours of Pony.

Oh, and thanks for the heads up! I keep on forgetting to check EqD!

From what I understand it's a Canadian newspaper article about Bronies.  The author seems to be biased and not really understand much about the fandom, but it's still nice to get a newspaper article on MLP.  It just goes to show how popular it really is.

This show has become so popular in a short time. Even Comic Con has a My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Panel in . I'm just to embarrassed to tell anyone that I like the show.

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but I was looking for something else and found a video that seems to have all the season 1 songs and in order.  Thought 1 or 2 folks may be interested.  It's slightly over 26 minutes.

Not meant for kids? I don't really agree with that. There was nothing in the movie that was really inappropriate (from what I've see in that video). Not saying I liked the movie; I haven't even watched it. But based on my impressions with that commentary, this movie is pretty safe for kids.

I haven't seen anything of the sort. And even if there were, it could just be the way you are looking at it. I know of people who overreact to something they see and don't stop to think that maybe it's just the way it looks to them.

For instance, let's look at the scene from LBT 2 where Spike licks Ducky. Taken out of context, this could be seen by someone as something inappropriate, when it is really harmless. Spike was simply happy to see her, and the licking was just his way of showing happiness, and nothing more. Yet it can still be interpretation as something else.

So ultimately, don't let your imagination run wild when watching animated shows. What might look inappropriate may just be a misinterpretation on your part.

I admit, I do find it annoying how there are people who scour an animation for kids for anything even remotely inappropriate, and then flag it "not for kids" when they "find" something, when all they really did was misinterpret what was originally just an innocent scene.

Not necessarily.  I don't mind as long as you don't bash me for hating the book and movie.  Those are the type of fans I hate.

Now now, there's nothing wrong with liking something so long as it doesn't hurt anyone.  And hating someone just because they like something is very childish.  Personally?  I hate Twilight (books and movie) and everything to do with them.  But that doesn't mean others can't like it.  And I don't have anything against anyone that likes Twilight.  Just don't bash me because I don't like the series.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Ah okay.

I don't like Twilight (the book/movie) myself. My youngest sister does, but she isn't a rabid fangirl and does enjoy making fun of it. There's some books released that's essentially a parody of Twilight and she says they're hilarious.

I look at what Discord looks like, and I have to say, he is THE most messed up character I have ever seen, and I've seen some pretty messed up characters.

Oh, and on the account of the mane six's relation stats, I have a feeling that the writers will put in some love interests this Season and end most of the arguments. :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on September 13, 2011, 09:52:23 AM
I don't know why, but I felt a little...dissapointed...when I looked at Discord, that is IF he IS Discord...

I mean, we hyped him all up to the point of Nightmare Moon status, and what do we get? A mix between a Jabberwocky, a Manticore, and TROOOOOGDOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! It's almost laughable even. Ah well, the first 2 episodes of the first MLP Season were really not the best, so I guess the same thing will happen here...

Post by: Allicloud on September 13, 2011, 12:04:50 PM
I dunno, he doesn't look that bad. I knew he would look kinda draconian, but I do like the twist they took on him, making him into a chimera dragon. His voice is pretty good too, tough I do still think it's a shame they didn't get Tim Curry (HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT!)
I will admit, he does seem like a bit of a step down from Nightmare Moon, but let's face it: How could you honestly top her?! We have to remember, regardless of the fanbase, this is still a kids' show.

Also, we must remember that this is only a 1 minute clip, from an hour long 2-parter. Remember what Zecora said "Maybe next time you'll take a closer look/ and not judge the cover of the book".

a hoy-hoy everypony, sorry I haven't been on much, haven't been feeling the best for a while. RL stuff and other Bucked up stuff.

anyways. I haven't drawn anything Pony related plan to just can't get the feel I need to pick up the pencil.

I saw the Discord design, I gotta say hes a bit..... well I won't lie I kinda expected the desig to show him as a pony, but I guess Hasbro wanted him to be diffrent. the guy looks like hes a maniacle maniac with Melicious monsterous intent.... wow did that realy come out that way? uh... anyways. Lately I been reading fanfics looking at fanart. listening Fanmusic (love the New Lunar Republic theme!) I gotta say, I think Fraust has created something that has got a life of its own now. I hope the boys er, and girls at Hasbro don't do anything to drop the ball. but hey, if they can do well with Transformers You would think they can do the same with MLP. season one, although I haven't been graced enough to get the channels to watch it, I hear is awsome. hopefully season 2 awsome as well. hopefully better.

Just watch all of the episodes on YouTube or Dailymotion.  Saves you a lot of trouble.  To be honest, it's how most of us got to see it.

Yes, I know there's the issue of them being deleted left and right by trolls, but the brony community is fighting back hard on the matter. :D

I would, but I got slow-haunch Dialup internet. I keep trying to get highspeed but everytime I think I found a solution and when I try to get it something comes up that drains our funds.

But thank god for the random clips. hehehe. oh and that god for the MLP wiki for putting episode summeries and full plot up. thats how I mostly associate with the show. hopefully Hasbro Does release MLP FiM to DVD, hopefully in either a full box set for each season like they did with Beast Wars and G1 Transformers.

^It looks like your only option is to either download an existing full quality torrent, which would take about 9 months on dialup or request a very low quality version that won't take you 25 years to download.  Guys, they'd be stupid to release the series on DVD in this economy.  Especially with everything so easily accessible through torrents and YouTube.  I'd personally buy them to support the series, but I doubt many others would do the same.  This is by far the best show to come out on TV or through a movie in a LONG, LONG time.  Not counting anime, the last decent TV show to actually come out came out like 10 years ago.  They just don't make TV shows (or movies) like they used to unfortunately.  99% of the stuff that's released nowadays is just shit.  We've got to hold on to good shows like this like our lives depend on it and support them as much as possible.

I would buy the DVD and encourage as many as possible to do the same.  I know the economy is bad right now, but I think many fans would go into debt just to own a DVD box set of the show.  I know I would, but I also know I don't need to.

I do know they are busy making it.  They are just trying to make enough copies to meet demands.  This show is quite popular after all. :)

a new, well okay I did it some time ago, but... heres a pic of Nightmare Moon I drew.

(http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/247/3/d/fallen_goddess__nightmare_moon_by_titanosaur-d48tvr2.jpg)

I got inspired by alot of stuff, but what REALY inspired be was a poster for Godzilla vs Destroyah http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/6/5768/heisei_1995.jpg (http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/6/5768/heisei_1995.jpg) (Destroyah at the bottem crouching). I wanted to give NMM the look of pure evil, giving her chared black coat and giving her wings a skeletal look.

mind you, I'm not trying to turn the show into some demented version of what it is I'm not wanting to do that at all I just drew this out of pure fun and also to give my own personal touches to something so awsome and so popular while keeping it recognisable. I may do a fanfic but Idk I'm not the best with stories and my ideas are just plain stupid, so I doubt anybody will even read the blasted thing.

Not really. The Friendly Sharptooth clearly stated he believes the older MLP was better (and gave reasons why). I also have a friend of mine who also prefers the older MLP. And I won't be surprised if there's a lot of people who do. While I prefer Friendship Is Magic and am not fond of most older MLP stuff, I don't really believe it sucked. Yeah I think some of it was bad, but that doesn't translate to "this sucks"; it just means I didn't like it.

Yes, my friend has watched MLP:FiM Is Magic, and yes she likes it. But she likes the older MLP more, stating it was awesome and had a lot of variety when it came to villains (new one every week).

After watching that video of bronies commenting on that old 2003 MLP movie, I am tempted to rewatch the older MLP, including an old favorite of mine, My Little Pony Tales. I don't have plans to watch some of the more recent MLP though (minus FiM of course). There's one version just before FiM which had pretty darn creepy designs, with huge heads, huge legs, and tiny bodies.  :blink:
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: landbeforetimelover on September 14, 2011, 08:13:17 AM
If you ask me, villains aren't what make a good story.  There are plenty of other ways to induce conflict other than throwing some evil character in there that's just "evil" for no reason.  That's one of the reasons I like FiM.  Sure it was nice to have Nightmare Moon, but if that had been all the series was about, I would have lost interest about 20 episodes ago.  Sometimes it's nice to have a story that just unfolds and throws up small challenges that one would face in everyday life.  Just like you don't need a superhero in every show, you don't need a super villain either.  

*Though if there was a superhero in FiM, it would be Rainbow Dash for sure.  

*Whispers*  Rainbow Dash is the best pony.  *Whispers*

EDIT:  Confusing word choice/grammar corrected.

Post by: DarkHououmon on September 14, 2011, 08:15:41 AM
There were actually more reasons why my friend prefers the older MLP. The villains thing was just one of them, and was the only one I could remember at this time.

With villains, I do agree that villains aren't necessary, but they can make a story more interesting and add more drama. FiM doesn't have villains (unless you count Nightmare Moon as one, and maybe Discord), but it does have antagonists (such as Gilda, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon) which help create a conflict and interesting story. And some of the episodes didn't have obvious antagonists, like the episode with Zecora. In that episode, the antagonist(s) were, in my opinion, Twilight's friends, as they were the ones who kept pressuring Twilight into believing Zecora was a witch until she finally gave in.

Antagonists don't need to be evil or destructive. They just need to create conflict in some shape or form, and they can be one of the good guys, one of the opposition, themselves, nature, etc.

It wasn't good it was horrible I watched it back in the day like I said out of be curious and I was like what crap is this just no this new series is a lot better than that crap Any one that likes that has  real issue's Kidding if anyone likes it than that is there choice. Those older ones destroyed everything about that series. Friendship Is Magic is one hundred times better. There is no idiot kids in this witch killed the older series and I don't feel ashamed of watching this. The others I was very ashamed of watching this crap. The My Little Pony Tales god no just no I liked the theme song some some reason back than. Now it sucks to me. But now I know after all this bashing without The old pieces of crap that there wouldn't be what we have today. I know that. Okay I'm done bashing now.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: DarkHououmon on September 14, 2011, 08:25:59 AM
Some people just prefer the older MLP. There's nothing really wrong with that. I prefer FiM. My friend prefers older MLP (not sure which series). But we get along just fine on the topic of MLP. Just because someone hates the older MLP doesn't mean no one else is allowed to like it, and the same can be said about hating FiM (that it doesn't mean no one can like it).

Yeah there are people who think the older MLP sucked, but there are also people who think it was good. It's impossible to really say which opinion has the most people supporting it, but I don't really see a reason why anyone would want to find that out. It's just a matter of opinion and we all aren't going to agree.

Actually, rips from the HUB come onto YouTube in a time slot of 24-48 Hours. True, the quality is that of 360p or 480p, but you still get to see it. Then probably a week or 2 in, a 720p and 1080p rip will go onto YouTube.

One thing I noticeed is that Earth Ponies are f---ing strong!

I mean it takes only four to haul a six car train at substantial speed.

The train I ride from VA to NJ is a six car train. It takes a 4,000 horsepower V-16 turbodiesel to get it moving to ~60+ miles per hour or an 8,000 horsepower electric locomotive to get it even higher.

I mean, is that their innate magic, great strength?

We are currently less than 24 hours away from the Season 2 Premiere. (It will air 9 am - Eastern.) In Celebration of this, there's a little Pony project I plan to do that involves the premiere.  I won't say what, just know that, if things work out, it'll be up on the net Sunday Evening/Monday Morning.

In the meantime, I need to seriously free up some space in my computer.  Doing Let's Plays can take up a lot more space than you think. :)

Sometimes there is a stream going on. I suggest that you wake up as soon as possible in the morning and keep on refreshing Equestria Daily every 30-45 minutes, because they sometimes do streams on the new episode.

I am very confident that it'll be on YouTube only hours after it airs on Hub. (There are some VERY dedicated bronies out there.) I'll be betting on quite a bit here to pull off my project getting done on time.

Also, I'm saving my Season 1 marathon for AFTER both parts of the Premiere.  It'll be much better for me that way. :)

Well, I just finished watching the episode, and the repeat straight after. (POTENTIAL SPOILER WARNING)

Needless to say, it looks like Lauren's step down from power isn't gonna damage the show at all. Everypony was in character, the scenarios were pretty cool, and Discord was indeed awesome. The voice actor really put his all into it.

My only real complaint was that the first few scenes just seemed a little rushed. It just seemed like they were trying to get the exposition out of the way as quickly as possible. But once Discord himself showed up for the first time, it seemed to sort itself out.

And now, my list of moments and scenes that will no doubt mutate into memes:

Pinkie and Chocolate rain (So obviously a reference to the original Chocolate Rain meme)
Slenderbunnies
Discord X Pinkie shipping/rule34
Scary-ass party balloons
You handsome hunk of a diamond!
ALL of the ponies' evil forms (Nasty Pinkie, Bad Liar Applejack, Flutterbitch, etc)

Post by: pokeplayer984 on September 17, 2011, 01:30:35 PM
In celebration of the Season 2 Premiere, Lauren Faust has put up some original sketches on her DeviantART.  I'll comment on a few.

First off, Apple Bloom was originally named Appleseed.

http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/art/Apples...%2F8431740&qo=3 (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/art/Appleseed-255843764?q=gallery%3Afyre-flye%2F8431740&qo=3)

Her name was changed due to copyright issues.

Second, when it was thought to put a Manticore in the two-part pilot, there was worry that such a creature would be too scary for kids.  So Lauren decided to tone it down a bit.

http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/art/Dopey-...%2F8431740&qo=1 (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/art/Dopey-Manticore-255846340?q=gallery%3Afyre-flye%2F8431740&qo=1)

After presenting it, she was told it wasn't scary enough. (Make up your minds, ya hypocrites.)

Finally, originally, Fluttershy wasn't a Pegasus.

http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0#/d48bj3v (http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=0#/d48bj3v)

Not sure why they changed it, but with all they've done with Fluttershy, I'd say it was for the better.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on September 17, 2011, 02:36:10 PM
Fluttershy was originally an Earth Pony while Pinkie Pie was originally a pegasus. They switched it around due to the contrast it made; Pegasus Pony who is more down to earth while an Earth Pony has just about as much energy, maybe even more than, a regular Pegasus Pony.

Plus, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were originally going to be Posey and Surprise from the G1 Series, but due to copyright issues, they had to change it around.

Oh, and does anyone else think this plot should've been saved for a possible movie?  It's just too good for TV!

Thought a minor thing, there is 1 shot I just saw that shows, in the background between Applebloom and whatever the cutie mark crusader unicorn's name is, shows applebloom's friend (wears glasses) from the first episode she and applebloom appeared in.  It shows, whatever her name is's side with no cutie mark.  She's standing sideways.  I guess stuff like that happens.  

I know on some animated shows they do happen, like on superfriends, with gloves vanishing and other stuff, On thundar he's not suposed to have his sun sword but it's clearly visible on his bracelet like normal, and other stuff on other shows.

Someone said on YouTube that it seemed like they wanted to put more into the episode but it wouldn't fit into the time slot. I agree. It does seem as if the episode was a bit fast paced. Maybe they should have made either one or both parts an hour long.

Hey guys, did you know that Season 2 Episodes 1 & 2 were originally 1 episode all together? Hasbro, however, demanded that it be 2 episodes, so then the original idea was scrapped quickly. A sketch was found while going through a waste bin at Studio B. That person took it home, scanned it, and started coloring the sketch.

I just happen to have found that original sketched colored by a man who goes by the name of 'The_Weaver'

Bow to the power of Fluttershy!  Even the mighty Discord falls before it!

In all seriousness, glad they dropped that.  The end product works MUCH better for the plot.

Oh come on!  When word of that comic gets out, you know it'll happen. (Though I don't agree with the idea myself.)

In the meantime, the new pony-related video I've fallen for while waiting for the next episode.

I know, right?

I mean, I watched one of the livestreams of the season 2 premiere last saturday, and within about 3 hours, there were several high quality download links.


And that comic is an absolute tearjerker. It's kind of stunning how many seriously tearjerking FiM an comics there are out there that are genuinely saddening, and not just emo-ish. Makes me all the more glad that there are equally many heartwarming fancomics out there too to help ease the sadness.

Hopefully you fellas know about Trotsworth (http://trotsworth.deviantart.com/), who does a Rule 63 universe called "Wrong Spell".
He's even done his own little readings (I just love his version of "At the Gala"!)

However...I've beaten him to the punch (http://bat-snake.deviantart.com/#/d4a5xf5) with Discord...which I've called Eris for the 63-verse (hopefully, you mythology geeks will understand). Especially the part with the golden apple. If 'ya don't, the reason's in the description.

Heh...boy is this going to be fun to work on. I've done other doodles, such as Eris bragging to Discord that she started a whole war that changed the course of history with only one apple. She demonstrates it with the Mane Six, only for Twilight Sparkle to split it between the six of them.

I have a shipping confession to make.

*GASP*





I have no decided to ship Celestia and Discord. Or, as I should call it Disclestica...that sounds like Dyslexia...
And for my reasons.

1. Discopie (That name  :lol !) and Discoshy creep the heck out of me. Like the kind that you want to bleach your mind. Sure, he and Pinkie have a few things in common, but I really don't see a connection between them like I do with Celestia.
2. "Did you miss me, Celestia? I missed you. It's quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn't know. I don't turn ponies to stone"
3. THIS! (http://bat-snake.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d4a9p63) I wasn't quite sure about the ship until I saw it. My decision is now final
4. Discord's trollzieness rubbed of on Celestia a little?

Another thing I notice that some of the...non-Dislestics (pfft XD) say "they HATE each other". Now, I wouldn't totally say "HATE", but there's most definitely some serious tension. Ala Davy Jones when talked to about Calypso.

I'm trying to come up with some kind of fanfiction or something about it.
And maybe even put it on the bittersweet/creepy-ish side.

I now also think that Philomena was a gift from Discord at some point. I don't know what drove me to think that, but I think it.

Now that that's off my chest...another piece of win (http://saphin.deviantart.com/art/Discording-in-the-rain-259037840)

Surprisingly, I could imagine her saying things like that. It wasn't that OOC for her to do that.

It was hilarious too.

-------------------------

On a side note, I have so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so much pony fic ideas running rampant in my head. I need some help choosing.

1.) A "delusion fic compilation" that explores how Equestria and all its inhabitants exist only in one of the Mane Six's mind and said Mane Six is a severely mentally ill Human in the real world. I might even go a bit meta with this

2.) A high octane "Humans-In-Equestria"/"Mane-Six-On-Earth" story that starts off kind of fluffy and then transitions into an interdimensional battle with Nightmare Moon and Discord (and possibly some evil scientists) as the villains... There will be gunplay and magic and it will be in both Equestria and Earth.

3.) A gritty pure MLP urban thriller about the Mane Six stumbling upon a smuggling operation in Bridlehem (pun on Bethlehem) and they have to stop it.

4.) A science fiction story based on this comment from Youtube:

Quote
Anyone agrees that ep.1 ends with Luna surprise attack on the capital and ep.2 is about a deep strike led by Twilight Sparkle deep into the enemy territory in order to activate the hidden nuclear silo and fire the nuclear warheads called "The Elements of Harmony" into the Luna's main command battleship, The Nightmare Moon?

 
Though I may replace the Elements of Harmony as a nuke with the space based laser system H.A.R.M.O.N.Y.

2. "Did you miss me, Celestia? I missed you. It's quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn't know. I don't turn ponies to stone"
3. THIS! (http://bat-snake.deviantart.com/favourites/#/d4a9p63) I wasn't quite sure about the ship until I saw it. My decision is now final
4. Discord's trollzieness rubbed of on Celestia a little?

Another thing I notice that some of the...non-Dislestics (pfft XD) say "they HATE each other". Now, I wouldn't totally say "HATE", but there's most definitely some serious tension. Ala Davy Jones when talked to about Calypso.

I'm trying to come up with some kind of fanfiction or something about it.
And maybe even put it on the bittersweet/creepy-ish side.

I now also think that Philomena was a gift from Discord at some point. I don't know what drove me to think that, but I think it.

Now that that's off my chest...another piece of win (http://saphin.deviantart.com/art/Discording-in-the-rain-259037840)

Pon-Ed-Fied? An Episode where Ed becomes a Brony and it soon spreads throughout the Cul-de-Sac, with all the kids having their own reasons for liking it. The only one who doesn't turn is Eddy, who tries desperately to convert his friends back to no avail.

Now THAT would be an awesome episode-FanFic thing...

Just so you know, it doesn't see it as the best show, but they still find it to be a good one.
The intro song for Skrewattack is pretty good, but in my experience trusting critics with determining how much you will like a movie/show is like trusting a skunk to tell you if your cologne is fine for a night on the town.

The best opinion out there is your own, and in my own opinion MLP is pretty interesting and in the new season the first episode seems to not be too scared to cater to the older fans.  In time, younger kids will see it, grow older, and appreciate MLP for what is really is.

Hopefully that is.

Jeeze, have you seen what's happening already? 4 Days into Season 2 and on YouTube, EqD, Ponychan, 4chan, Ponibooru, and so forth, people are RIPPING EPISODE 1 APART!

I mean, we already got tons of FanArt, Image Macros, Vectors, on Ponibooru, lengthy discussions on speculations and how things work in Equestria on 4chan and Ponychan, EqD pumping out more Discord Fics, and on YouTube, we already have BGM Rips, YTPMV's, animation errors, and so on and so forth. And it's still only the 1st episode!

I can't want to see the Fandom's reaction to a MLP: FiM Movie (If it ever comes out). The internet will literally catch fire

I'm not even sure what you're referring to. If you're talking about if a movie or not is being made, I'm not sure of that myself. I am aware that a cinematic recut of the first two episodes was made available on Youtube. If you're talking about what "drama" is going on, that might be due to the fact that after the two-part season 2 premiere, there'll be a delay in two episodes.

If one of these were what you were referring to, you could have found the answers yourself by reading what people have said or going to the link(s) provided. If neither of these were what you were referring to, please elaborate on what you were trying to refer to.

Okay, I didn't know where else to turn to for this. Anyways, I have decided to do a PowerPoint on MLP: FiM and I can include videos. Only problem...I don't know what videos I want! Can you guys help me out?

I want at least 1 Pony Mash-Up (Ex. Pony Mashed Up with Trailers, etc), 1 Fan-Content, and if possible, 1 clip from the show. Now they all must equate to 6-8 minutes in total, but there are so many choices it's hard to chose.

Please post some video links you think will help show the fandom in it's golden glory and not come off as cheap and stupid.

I tried PonyChan, but the site is down. I am considering Ponibooru and FiMChan, but I am not sure. This is the only place I can turn to. Please help me out, because I can't decide...

(Sorry for the rushed pace, but it's getting late and the clock is ticking. I have 9 days left to finish the project and I am already halfway through finishing my PowerPoint)

Okay, I decided to include both the Equestria Girls and There's a Pony for That advertisements. That leaves about 4 Minutes left. That could mean 2 Pony trailers or 1 Pony video of something...

PS: For the clips, I decided to shorten those to a few second introductions (Ex. When I introduce Fluttershy, I play the 2 second clip of her cheering, etc.)

For those not in the know, Death Battle is basically a series of pixelated simulation videos where two characters from different universes are pitted against one another in a fight to the death. (And yes, it is to the death.  Blood is likely involved.) However, unlike most simulations, it does not rely on favoritism.  Rather, it takes the capabilities, powers, strengths and weaknesses into the whole perspective.  There has been many a debate in all this, but the bottom line is that all of these battles are very carefully calculated and fanboyism of the author is hardly taken into account.  The bottom line is, "If this really happened, this is likely how it would go down".  There's no lucky blows involved either. (Unless "luck" is one of the character's known traits.) Also, as expected, there are heated debates after the battles.

Anyways, I'm cheering for our beloved Rainbow Dash!  Show him what you got, Dashie! :)

I'll do my best to link you all to it the moment it's up.

See ya later! :)

I assure you that if Rainbow Dash loses, there will be much...debate... among the Brony community debating whether or not the statistics have been calculated correctly.

Looks to be Episode 6. I find it strange that they save their pictures in PNG format for some reason. Don't ask why.

On MY TV, it says it will do a double airing at 8:00 AM

Then on October 1, they will not air a new episode, but will rather air both Part 1 and Part 2 back to back. Then on October 8, we will go back to the old format of a new 'Every-Day-Lives' episodes every Saturday/

Aww-ness

Man, I really hope there's some kind of Dislestia tease in the next episode.
Seriously, in my head, Discord and Celestia work together better than Discord with one of the mane six.
Mostly because that because of how stinkin' OLD they are, I kinda think that there is a chance that they could have had some sort of special relationship.

I NEED to get to writing fanfiction for that XD.

Well this bucking sucks...

Last Saturday, the episode aired at 8:00 AM, so I just assumed that it would air at 8:00 this Saturday. I was too busy doing some work to set a recording, so I just decided to set my alarm to ring at 6:50 so that I have time to prepare...

BUT GUESS WHAT!

Episode aired at 6:00 AM. And I want to watch it in 1080p. Ah well, at least tomorrow they have it reairing so I set up a recording, but wow, I forgot how early kids wake up on Saturdays...

Oh great, now I will see PLENTY of spoilers on Ponibooru, 4Chan, Ponychan, and Equestria Daily. Shoot, that means I will have to take a day off from those websites >_<

PS: On a lighter note...have some new Computer Wallpaper Images!

*sighs* Again, this plot should've been saved for a movie.  It was definitely too fast-paced for the plot at hand as an episode.  Still, Part 2 was pretty good.

Part 2 highly focuses on comedy.  During Act 1, you really can't go far without laughing.  It's just that good.

Discord actually proves he's a threat here.  With all the chaos he causes, it's no wonder that he had to be stopped.  On top of that, he pretty much knows what he's up against here.  He knows the main six's strengths and weaknesses AND he knew how to drive them apart.

Act 2 comes into play with some help from good old Princess Celestia.  Let's just say that she helps them find a way to beat Discord's spell.  Also, don't think it's easy.  All of them put up a good fight against the cure at hand.  Especially Rainbow Dash!  Boy, does she ever prove she deserved that win against Starscream yesterday. :)

With Act 3, they pretty much wrap everything up.  It's over before you know it, but Discord still puts up a fight.  Let's just say that he could've split them up easily then and there if his arrogance didn't get the best of him.

So yeah, pretty much too fast-paced for a two-parter, but still proved to be pretty good in the end.

I can tell that Discord's voice actor really had a lot of fun with this.  I'm sure he'll be glad to take up more villains in future episodes.

So yeah, it's really good, you should definitely give the Season 2 opener a watch, even if you aren't into MLP.  You'll definitely enjoy the 45 minutes you'll waste with it.

Oh, and HERE'S THE YOUTUBE STREAM!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omhSnagjOL0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omhSnagjOL0)

Now, if you don't mind, this brony is going to enjoy a pony marathon until Episode 3 comes out, which won't be for several weeks. *disapproved sigh* Curse you, Halloween!

See ya next time! :)

EDIT: Oh, and the ending of the episode is just BEGGING to be parodied with the ending of Star Wars: A New Hope.  Seriously, I guarantee there will be a video of that before the day's end.  Just you watch. :)

Well, I just finished watching the episode, so here is my general review of the entire "Return of Harmony" saga (WARNING: SEROUS SPOILERS ABOUND!!)

Needless to say, after the first part ended, I have very little idea of where they would go with it next. But they went with it pretty well.

Seeing the opposite personalities of the ponies was pretty entertaining to say the least, especially Cruel Fluttershy and Greedy Rarity. Seeing the interaction, with their constant negativity eventually breaking Twilight, causing her to lose her faith in her friends, thus losing her colour herself, was cool.

The biggest surprise for me was probably the interesting move on Celestia's part, of making Twilight understand by ending her back all her friendship reports. A very interesting little touch, and pretty well done.

The various chaotic things going on in the back were heaps of fun to watch. When I heard that Discord as essentially a god of chaos, I was kind of expecting a more malicious sort of chaos, rather than simple surrealsm. But hey, it's still a kid's show, so I guess it's kinda justified.

Once again Discord himself was fun to watch, seeing him revel in his own madness, and not ven flinching when they tried to use the Elemens against him. But at the end, he kind of stopped being so creepy and insane, and became a little too silly. And when they use another attack from the Elements, epic and visually stunning as it was, he just sort of stood there and took it, like he knew he was screwed. Bit of a shame, but no big deal. And at least they did go with imprisoning him again, rather than turning him good or something (I've seen that done before several times, and it ever works)

But was the episode perfect? Sadly no. Once again, the pacing issues from the previous episode snuck in. Near the beginning it was fine, but the climax just seemed a bit rushed. I have to agree with what some other bronies are saying, that they could have made this story an hour-and-a-half film instead of a 40-minute 2-parter, so they could do more without the time constraints. But I guess being a bit rushed is better that dragging out alot.

And personally, I think the final scene in the palace made up for it by giving us what we last expected: A freaking Star Wars reference! I'm not kidding. You got the hall of the palace filled with ponies, the mane cast walking down the aisle to Celestia, who congratulates and thanks them, commemorating another window to them, with Spike standing on the side, to victorious orchestral music, before curtain-wiping to the credits, where the usual ending theme was replaced with another orchestral piece! It's clever, and certainly a unique sort of reference, and... well, unexpected!

All in all, the pacing was a bit jarring at times, but overall a great start to the new series. I would say that the rest of the series is gonna be great or epic, but I honestly have no idea what to expect with the rest of the season. But I'm living in hope, and eagerly awaiting the next new episode!

Rainbow Dash's Gala Dress - Defictionalized!

At this rate, I will bet that there will be defictionaliazations of the other gala dresses and maybe the Elements of Harmony necklaces.

In all honesty, I would pay for Rainbow Dash's Element of Harmony necklace. It's fairly masculine.

And male (downpitched) version of at the Gala: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8gV3kTnxoY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8gV3kTnxoY). Enjoy the epic choir.

One word of advice DO NOT read Somewhere Only We Know more than once. It is very well written but is is basically a brown note that will make you feel sadness and nothing else.

One person said that he read it once and he couldn't watch an episode of FiM for three weeks.

I made the mistake of reading it three times and the third time, Sabaton's Purple Heart was playing. I broke down into tears.

In lighter news, I am working on an Insane Cafe/Pony fic.

An interesting story, though I can't say it drew a tear from me.  It certainly is sad that reality is a dark mirror of the actual show (sometimes) but its nothing that gets me down.  The only thing that gets me sad is death... most of the time.

I watched part two.
My only complaint is that Celestia should have gone to Discord face-to-face.
Maybe even distract him from bothering Twilight so she could get her friends back.  
Heck, he should have been in Canterlot using Celestia as a "pet", and she went through with it to distract him (continuing to imply a past "history")
And then we have the same roll of not taking the Mane Six seriously until it's too late.

Dang! That was depressing; it really was. But I kinda like the ending. I love how the fanfic is so happy, innocent, and bright one moment and so dystopian, grim, and sad the next. Bravo to the writer! Bravo!

I'm actually also working on a fanfic. It's actually a parody--more or less. I'm even planning on submitting it to Equestria Daily. I even have the artwork ready. I'm not sure if it'll get accepted, but I'm crossing my fingers. I'll keep the content a surprise--for now.

But I really feel depressed now. I really do. I'll think that I'll go play some jazz on my

I say...I say ah what now...
I mean, right now the Intro is 33 seconds long. Once Episode 3 comes around, it will be 1 minute long, and in Season 3, it will be extended into 2 minutes? How much more can we extend it? Soon enough, it may outshine the length of Pee Wee Herman's Playhouse intro (2 Minutes 30 Seconds). I mean, just when you start to tire of the normal 30 Second intro, they extended by 30 seconds. Once your ears are done gouging themselves out at the end of Season 2, Season 3 rolls around, and you must wait 2 minutes before the actual program starts, and a normal episode is 2 minutes long, that that's 20 minutes left of ponies. That may seem long, but remember what happened in Season 2 Episodes 1 and 2? They were so rushed due to time constraints, so now add more constraints onto that!

Oh, what shall we do now?

I know right this isn't good. They need to keep it short and sweet. Not extend it my god there is only so much of the song I can take. That means with commercials and the opening theme in season 3 the show will be 32 to 33 minutes. The pain we will all embrace once season3 hits.

2 minutes isn't that long of a song. I've listened to songs longer than that, the longest being 14-15 minutes in length. And I don't see how the opening theme will become 32-33 minutes because of that (unless I missed something). Besides, it seems a bit unfair to say "this song isn't good" simply based on the length.

I think what he's saying that the length will get tedious after a while. I mean, I'm fine with a 30-60 second intro, but when you have to watch 2 minutes of the same thing over and over before watching a 20 minute episode, it can get tiring.

Allow me to quote James Rolfe from his 'You Know What's Bullshit' series...

Quote
Or how 'bout, even better! Let's put TV screens on elevators! Before the elevator can move, you gotta watch some ads (Or Intro Song in this case)

2 minutes can get tedious after a short while.

2 minutes still doesn't seem that bad to me. Anime intros are typically about a minute and a half to two minutes, from what I recall. So if the intro would become 2 minutes long, it wouldn't simply be repeating the same lyrics; chances are they'd put in new lyrics and new verses.

If it gets to annoying you can always either press mute and go get a sandwich or a drink, or leave the room for the time it plays and come back, or get the episode off of youtube and jump past the intro.  On dvd you can jump past or fast forward or something I"m sure.

I can see it being annoying to some folks if they do a marathon type of thing and watch a number of episodes back to back.  Once a week for 26 episodes doesn't bug me any.  Though I like the opening so that may be part of the reason.

Not true!  There is a regulated time restraint as to which shows can run.  If need be, they can shorten the commercials.  However, they will most likely encourage the creators to keep the shows themselves up to around 23 minutes at most, this includes any beginning and ending themes said shows will feature.  It is a basic rule that has been put into regulation as not to go past the 30 minute time restraint they have to work with.

Bottom line, IT'S A RULE!!

It is a rule TV stations follow VERY tightly.  If need be, they will cut footage. :)

Post by: DarkHououmon on September 26, 2011, 03:11:17 PM
I just did a comparison. A full episode of MLP:FiM averages about 22:15 minutes, sometimes some seconds longer. A japanese digimon episode, with both ending and opening accounted for, averages about 22:41. The opening is about 30 seconds longer than FiM.

Given this information, commercials for MLP would be, in a 30 minute time frame, would be 7:45 minutes total. For the japanese digimon, 7:19 in length. So there's only about 26 seconds difference. I know that intros can vary in length; I just used digimon because I'm familiar with it and that most japanese OPs I've seen are roughly the same length.

So if FiM's opening bump up to 2 minutes, that would take away about a minute of commercial. So instead of 7:45, it would be down to 6:45. If it were only bumped up by about 30 seconds, then the commercials would lessen by 30 seconds. 7:15 instead of 7:45.

Okay, just to be clear, I'm still not a brony. However, my wandering mind has, in the last few days, come up with a few ideas for MLP fanfics, and I just don't think it would be fair to withhold them from a community that might appreciate them. I'm not interested in writing these myself (and besides, I don't even have the time anyway), so I suggest that if anyone here is interested in writing some MLP fanfics, please let me know and I'll give you further details by PM. (I currently have three story ideas to choose from.)

Speaking of potentily upcomin pony fics, I had the most amazing brainblast today! Warning: shameless self-promotion ahead)

Thinking about my first pony fic, which was essentially a crossover between FiM and The Statement of Randolph Carter, I started wondering: what other Lovecraft stories could I ponify?

Short answer: A lot.

So, I've decided that alongside my Ever Watching fic, I'll be making a sort of anthology series of pony/Lovecraft fics. Kind of along the lines of the Creepshow movies, or the Simpsons Treehouse or Horror episodes. With that, I can announce that my next short story shall be simply entitled "The Strange Music of Octavia".

There is an English DVD of two of the episodes currently available on-line.  I got mine on eBay for $25 plus shipping.  It's called "Celebration in Canterlot".

Yeah, I know.  A ripoff, but I wanted to get it SO badly.

I'm sorry to interrupt "The Pony Polka", but I found a little something from EqD that everypony might find interesting.

Season 2, Episode 4 is said to be a Luna-centric episode! :D

Quote
This is from the guy who works at a TV listing company that dropped the information on Discord's episode, along with season two's start date.  We will keep it rumor tagged until it officially pops up in TV Guides, but have something to munch on for now! Keep an eye on this post for future developments.

All episode information can be found after the break! I don't think Synopsis are really spoilers, but you have been warned I suppose.

Season Two Episode 4: Luna Eclipsed
Air Date: October 22, 2011
Synopsis: It's Nightmare Night and the macabre celebrations are in full swing when Luna herself shows up in Ponyville, determined to change her frightening public image.

So our first encounter with Luna is a Halloween episode!

This also sort of confirms the leaked images from yesterday.

It's been too long of a wait! :^.^:

From what I could gather in Season 1 Episode 2 is that the Ponies are very happy to have Luna back. They throw a big party and celebrate and all that mushy mushy stuff, and now all of a sudden they are afraid? What a strange turn of emotion...

@Bongo -

There is a fan-theory that says that the ponies did that for Luna to please Princess Celestia.  After all, you don't want to displease royalty only to be thrown into a dungeon for your incompetence, right? ;)

Though I, for one, don't believe the theory.  I'm sure it's nothing more than a continuity error on the writer's part.  Still, will be nice to see how they all feel about her.

Now, to find something to occupy myself for the next two weeks while I await for the newest episode.  Where Twilight has NOTHING to send to Celestia on "The Magic of Friendship".  Gee, I'm sure that will turn out well. :)

Here's my idea on how that episode will end.


"Dear Princess Celestia,

I learned that sometimes I just have nothing to report to you regarding friendships.


Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"


CR from That Guy With The Glasses did a retrospective on MLP. One thing I like is how he doesn't really bash the older MLP despite not liking them that much and being a big fan of Friendship Is Magic.

MLP Retrospective part 1 (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/cr/ff/32418-episode-57-my-little-pony-retrospective-part-1)
MLP Retrospective part 2 (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/cr/ff/32594-episode-58-my-little-pony-retrospective-g4)

I enjoyed both videos and he pointed out some stuff I had forgotten about. Watching clips from the old MLP did bring back memories. When I was a little kid, I was a big My Little Pony Tales fan and tried to watch it everyday. I would say it's my favorite old school MLP TV series, with my favorite MLP animated movie being that one involving the red and blue centaur demon (I always forget the name).

Eh as much as I love to bash that older shows and and I do. I thought they where god awful but I did watch a few episode's here and there back in the 90's since nothing else was on during the time slots. My Little Pony Tales was made to be like a a average teenager goes through everyday between school drama and relationships.  it was okay but still sucked.

It's a shame it's not on TV anymore. Oh well I can still watch episodes online. I may decide to do that. I do kinda miss the show. It's not very logical (how did they build that stuff with hooves?) but sometimes you just have to throw logic out the window. I mean look at Spongebob. Cooking patties underwater with a stove? Logic disappeared when that happened in the pilot episode.

While weird at times, I can't say My Little Pony Tales sucked, as it really wasn't that bad of a show. Anyone who says the old MLP was horrible and sucked but adore and praise Friendship Is Magic should realize and accept that, without the older MLP, FiM never would have existed.

The G1 cartoon series provided the setting of sentient, talking ponies in a magical land, while My Little Pony Tales gave the idea of ponies living in a town they built themselves, with a world dominated and populated by them. Friendship is Magic, to me, is a hybridization of the two concepts, combining a pony society with the magical elements of the older G1 show.

All The Pretty Little Ponies

In Your Bed
Mamma Said
Babies Riding Off To Dream Land
One By One
They've Begun
Dance And Prance For Little Baby

Blacks And Bays
Dapples And Grays
Running In The Night
When You Wake
You Shall Have
All The Pretty Little Ponies

Can't You See The Little Ponies
Dance Before Your Eyes
All The Pretty Little Ponies
Will Be There When Your Arise

(Music Plays)

Can't You See The Little Ponies
Dance Before Your Eyes
All The Pretty Little Ponies
Will Be There When Your Arise

Hush-a-Bye
Don't You Cry
Go To Sleep My Little Baby
When You Wake
You Shall Have

Concerning the Luna episode, my theory is that, while ponies do recognise that she is back to being plain old Princess Luna, they are still a bit apprehensive about welcoming her so soon. After all, she did try to plunge their world into eternal darkness. I doubt that they'd really be quick to forgive it.

Also, havig finally met some other bronies in person, I met one who's currently working on a comic about the origins of Celestia, Luna, and Equestria as a whole. From what he's told me about it it's gonna be pretty awesome. It's chock full of verywell thought out in-universe theories on such things as why she is called Princess Celestia when she is clearly a queen, and why so many things in Equestria seem designed for human use rather than pony use. I don't want to give away anymore to publicly, but if youwant to hear more in detail, give me a PM.

Also, in other news, I now have ordered a Derpy Hooves shirt. My conversion to brony is complete.

One thing puzzles me, how the hell did Fallout: Equestria get so popular?

Not even Latias' Journey, PokÈ Wars, The Thessalonica Legacy or for that matter any other fan fic reached this level of popularity.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on October 05, 2011, 08:50:44 PM
1.) The Fallout Gaming Series is very popular in many catagories.

2.) The characters are well played with the OC Characters that seem believable and canon

3.) The story and plot is well made because it has the length to help fleshen out characters and story (Most chapters take 1-2 hours to read. Some chapters can even reach 100 pages long, and with about 40 chapters, and more coming along the way, just do some basic math there. Also, there are many side stories written by fans [Much like the Conversion Bureau Scenario (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/04/conversion-bureau-compilation.html)], and Kkat, the original author, actually approved of another side story which has just reached 22 Chapters and is, in my opinion as well as others, on par with the original)

4.) The author likes to make many throwbacks to the show, like when LittlePip explores the ruins of Ponyville. He also gives small shout outs to the show, and some even play a major role in the plot like Spike

5.) The story is actually a lot DARKER than the video games. I know, hard to believe, but compared to the Fallout Series, this single FanFic is actually darker because A.) The programers wouldn't be able to code some things into the game that are epicly awesome in the FanFiction B.) The FanFic is a lot more gruesome than the Video Game because the ESRB would most likely demand to remove some portions of the game if they were included C.) Words can sometimes describe more than a bunch of polygons

What surprises me even more is how fast this dude can write. Does he have anything else to do?

Holy s---, I don't think I've seen anyone else write fanfic as fast as he does.

Either way, it ain't my genre... mainly because I never really got into the Fallout-verse.

And I hated the Conversion Bureau-verse. Mainly because the pony's Humans Are Bastards view started to grate on me after the first few times they mentioned it.

Two Words: COPYRIGHT TROLLS.

I swear man, YouTube episodes are being plucked out of the internet like carrots on harvesting day because YouTube is too ignorant to know that the episodes are perfectly fine online, and it takes a while to download the 1080p Rips. Plus, I am not sure whether or not some of those download pages can give me a virus. iTunes (At the moment) is the most practical, easy, and fail safe way to get episodes, because I am not touching a download page with a 10 foot cyber pole

Huh.  I don't see why quoting biblical passages is really any different than quoting anything else unless you're doing it to prove you're righteous or something.  Nevertheless I didn't notice it anyway.

By the way, that M rated story sounds pretty funny.  Does it contain sex?  If NOT, can you post a link to it here?  I don't want to run into any sex stuff while looking for it and I certainly don't want to read it if it includes any sex.

I wouldn't recommend ThePirateBay unless you have a VERY good anti-malware program and really know what you're doing.  Such a large percentage of the torrents on that site are infected.  It's best to go with a torrent site that has private membership like Demonoid.  I know Demonoid technically isn't a private tracker, but what matters is you have to be a member to post up a torrent there.  And the community there doesn't take too kindly to uploading infected torrents.  But the best thing about Demonoid is that everyone always comments on the torrents to let you know if they're good or shit and people SEED even years down the road.  Torrents typically take a very long time to die on Demonoid.  I have a torrent I uploaded there nearly three years ago and it still works.  I'm not seeding it anymore as I've formatted my main machine like 5 times since I uploaded it, but it's still alive.  That says a lot for the community there.

By the way, that M rated story sounds pretty funny.  Does it contain sex?  If NOT, can you post a link to it here?  I don't want to run into any sex stuff while looking for it and I certainly don't want to read it if it includes any sex.
Yes,  it does contain sex. It is hilarious though.

Oh yeah, look here for the Mane Six converted into Smash Brothers characters: http://mymbunker.wordpress.com/movesets-2/mym-x-movesets/ (http://mymbunker.wordpress.com/movesets-2/mym-x-movesets/)

Ah okay I didn't know that the site I posted was really that bad I've download a few stuff from pirate's bay and I was fine. But I will look onto the other site you posted on here and see what I think of it. And you sure the stuff there is free of virus;s and mal-ware and all the other bad stuff Land? Does it have all the Land Before Time Movies 1-13? And thanks for the information about this site It sounds really cool and good so I will use it when ever I have the need for it. And I like the fact that the site allows user comments to warn other members if the file is safe or not.  That is a good thing to have on that website. I will check it out. Ah I also like that it is safe and sorta scans and makes sure the torrents are free from virus and so on. I will use it. Thanks again for the site.



And If I found a My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic Calender I'd so buy it and hang it up on my wall. I'm sure you can find one some place at stores or online.

Huh, the name doesn't sound all that familiar.  But ah well, she still sounded awesome with that voice XD

Still, none tops Rainbow Dash in my opinion.  To me, she's my numer one favourite above the others.  After her, not sure, perhaps Pinkie Pie with her complete randomness.

Something interesting I found in the internet. It's a basic chart showing the MLP Character on the left and what other voices that voice actor/actress did for other shows. I already knew most of them, but for those who don't, the simple chart should help.

(http://www.weebly.com/uploads/5/1/1/7/51171/spikeequals.jpg)



For me, I am most impressed by Tabitha St. Germain (Rarity). I don't know. Maybe it's because she voices a lot of characters from the show (I know there are the people who do most of the background ponies and should take up this spot, but we are talking about the Mane Cast here), maybe it's because she voices Naz from EEnE, maybe it's just because she's best pony, I don't really know. But for whatever reason it is, I like her. A lot.

THEY'RE SELLING MLP TOYS!
They got uhhh...
-Twilight Sparkle
-Rainbow Dash
-Pinkie Pie
-and two others that I didn't get to see the names.


I was kinda shocked though like "What the fudge?!"

By the way, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack weren't there.

I'm having a little trouble figuring out my favorite pony.
I'm starting to think it's Rarity. She just cracks me up sometimes ("But I thought you waaanted whiiiining!"), and just appeals to me more.
I love the whole of the mane six, but Rarity ended up being the most interesting.

Discord is my overall favorite character, though. Followed by Princess Celestia, probably.

I'm probably in the same boat. All the mane cast are just so appealing and likeable, it's nigh-on impossible for me to pick one as an absolute favourite.

Though for otherwise characters, it would be a tie between:

Discord- Q in chimera form, with his sinister nature and hammy acting turned up to 11. Need I say anything more?

Celestia- Say what you will about the so-called troll/molester/tyrant. I like her!

Snails- He's obviously Canadian. I'm Canadian. End of.

Derpy- Her fanon is just so sweet and funny, and the voices given to her by fans round her off perfectly.

Dr Whooves- Dr Who as a pony. Nothing more needs to be said.

Lyra- Her actions and behaviours in the series are just hilarious. Just look at the look on her face when a parasprite eats her pie!

And then I see the episodes with Pinkie Pie in them when she is being, well, Pinkie Pie and that's what makes her awesome as well, breaking into random song at times with everyone else being "Wtf?"

It's difficult to choose, but I'd have to say that my favorite character would also have to be Applejack. I see a lot of myself reflected in her--diligent work, can-do spirit, and a tendency to bite off more than we can chew.

I'm still working on that one fanfic. It has encouraged me to use new tools like Photoshop. It has been difficult, but I'm getting there.

^^It is only legal to make a book out of a fanfiction for yourself.  You can't go selling it.  Only then would you have problems.  I am assuming they got Hasbro's permission.  Otherwise, those on Lulu could get in serious trouble.

As for the picture.  I have now been hit by ultimate inspiration. :)

Speaking of fanfics, and the above Kratos pony that I showed you lot before, I was reading this....interesting fanfic last night called "Bridled Fury" and yes, it's to do with Kratos in Ponyville....and he has to learn about the Elements of Harmony.

Part 8 had to be the funniest thing I have ever read "HIT X! HIT X!" "ROTATE THE ANAOLOUGE STICK! COUNTER CLOCKWISE! GO! GO! GO!" and yes, that was Pinkie Pie calling that stuff out to Kratos a la, God of War button prompt style XD

And yes, she even talks about the uh...."minigames" to him as well....and even mentions Nintendo for some odd reason.  But what's also funny, Pinkie Pie tries to swing a song to him and he just shuts her up with a hoof to her mouth :smile

it's young Luna and Celestia in the back seat with Discord riding shotgun and Lauren Faust's OC driving.

My favorite MLP:FiM Pairings.

FlutterMac - (Fluttershy & Big Macintosh) Though highly fanon, I think it could work.  I seem to be rather fascinated by the idea of The Shy One pairing up with The Strong, Silent Type.  They say "Silence is Golden" and this could be one of the best pairings because of that.

SoaringDash - (Soaring of The Wonderbolts & Rainbow Dash) To some, it may seem kind of obvious to pair Rainbow Dash up with someone from The Wonderbolts because of how much she loves them, but when you check out all the pairings, you realize most people see Rainbow Dash as a lesbian and the so called "evidence" of it all is just laughable to me.  This is what makes the obvious choice so perfect to me.  It's the kind of thing Rainbow Dash would do just to rub it in everyone's face and disprove them all.  Plus, I could actually see it happening in the show.  I seriously could.

As for the other 4 mares, there's just not enough love interests around to make a decision.  For now, it's OCs for the rest.

My favorite ships (shipping only - NO SEX!) would probably be Applejack/Rarity (opposites really do attract) and Twilight/Celestia (I dunno why, but it just fits).  As for shipping with sex, I can't think of any I like the idea of.

I'm not one who's into "Same Gender Pairings", (In fact, I avoid stories of them like the plague usually.) but some of the fans of this show make stories that are SO good, that I can look past that and really not mind all that much.

Out of Same Gender, I've grown to like Pinkie Pie & Rainbow Dash the most.  Let's just say that a certain bunch of notes that disproved a certain story pretty much made the idea a possibility.  Mind you I only like it, but not love it the way I do my other RD pairing.

Annow...my favorites.

#1. Dislestia! That would be DiscordxCelestia.
I think that they definitely had some sort of history in the past, apart from "Luna and I rose up against his tyranny and turned him to stone". Heck, I wrote a ten-part story revolving around my idea of what happened. (http://bat-snake.deviantart.com/art/Celestial-Pt-One-262372627)
This is my great big 'pet pair'.

#2. Mr. and Mrs. Cake
The only canon couple...and they are adorable.

#3. Lyra and Bon Bon
Okay, so it's total fannon, but it's nice that the production team was aware of it enough to place them together on the convention poster.
And...as far as I know, they're the only same-sex couple that I can really buy.

#4. SoarinDash
Yet another total fannon, but it seems like so much fun.
And what do we have to thank but Applejack's pie.

#5 RarityxHoity Toity
I was cracking up when they interacted at the end of Art of the Dress and thought that they would be such a fun pair.


I'm testing Fluttermac waters, but I think I might end up going into that apple wagon eventually.

Okay, so the new Twilight-centric Episode airs tomorrow!

Also, the change in schedule doesn't happen until the 17th, so you STILL have to get up early if you want to see it right when it airs.

Still, let's see how well she can handle having NOTHING to send Celestia.

This should be enjoyable. :)

Seriously, I'd pay to play a game like that. The juxtaposition of pastel colored ponies and gritty war story is just to weird for me not to like.

Yeah, I really liked Fluttershy's "Rage Barrage" and Octavia's "Symphony of Pain". That Octavia photo used to be my avatar.

On  a related note...

Alright, without giving away any details of my story, here's the cover of my story. Why, yes, I did make it myself. Yes, it was my first time using Photoshop. I've actually got some more images, but I've chosen this one for the cover:

Ponygeist is a reference to the horror movie Poltergeist.

Also, are you writing an MLP war story?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Dima02 on October 14, 2011, 05:32:05 PM
Thanks for the info.

And well, the story is set during a war, but I wouldn't call it a war story. It should be ready soon. It's actually a parody of a short story by an English author. I guess the story is more about society than war.

But the pony, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only,
Those two words, as if her soul in those few words she did outpour.
Nothing further then she uttered - not a hoof did she flutter -
Till I scarcely more than muttered `Other friends have done it before -
On the morrow she will leave me, as my hopes have flown before.
Quoth thy Pie, 'Party More!'

Crap!  I was watching it through means of livestream and the episode got SO many viewers that it froze! (And this was with the aid of 25mbps.) I was only minutes away from the ending. :(

From what I saw though, Twilight, you need to seriously take a chill pill and stop worrying over nothing.

Oh, and BTW, they lied about the new intro thing.  All they did was put up a change in the visual at the start.  It's pretty much the same song and dance as the first season. (The entire chat room went crazy about it.) So yeah, just so you know.

*sighs*I'll have to wait for the YouTube Stream to find out how it ends.  I'll give full review then.

See ya later! :)

EDIT: Luckily for me, the recorder decided to do BOTH airings of it.  THAT is how dedicated the bronies are.  They won't let a freeze stop them from showing it LIVE! :)

Okay, after that little unfortunate event and seeing the whole thing, one thing STILL surprises me.  In fact, I may as well put this in...

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Note: Highlight if you want to be spoiled.

Fluttershy is SO tough, she can wrestle a freaking bear!  I'm serious!  She actually did that, and it was just so she could get the poor animal into position for a massage!  Really, she actually did that!

Anyways, even though I didn't like the episode all that much, it did show a hidden secret within our favorite rainbow-maned pony.  Wait until you see what she can do. ;)

I'll post link for full YouTube Episode soon. :)

Thanks for the link.  I downloaded it and I"ll watch it later on today.  I watched enough to see the theme song.  It is a bit different, but not to much.

Though the way the upstairs person plays loud music sporatically through the day I am glad I have my in ear earphones so if I have to crank up the sound near max to drown out his music.  at least the show has background music so I won't have to keep pausing to play the mp3 I have of super sentai openings to drown out the upstairs neighbor.

Okay, I've just watched the first several episodes and all I have to say is...

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL SEVERAL DAYS AGO?!?!

Seriously, it's been quite a while since I've ever watched a cartoon that had humor I could laugh at. I think what I really like though is that the creators made it enjoyable even to those who have never liked the MLP series.

This is coming from a guy who loves to play Mature rated shooters like "Dead Space" or "Call of Duty" and watch R rated horror and action films. I can honestly say that I feel absolutely no shame at all about watching a series that is originally intended for a very young girl audience.

Short version, I think I have become a "Brony".

I'll keep watching so I can determine who my favorite characters are.

He said that the ponies have clouded his mind over "things guys think about that they shouldn't be thinking about", and that he could never be happier for it. My day was made.

I guess my main problem with the episode is that the ending sort of feels like a cop out.  Especially with the fact that Celestia didn't punish Twilight for what she did to practically all of the residents of Ponyville.  If you ask me, she was being rather soft there.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on October 16, 2011, 02:21:39 AM
I guess that may be proof she does play favorites.

Though in season 1 Twilight let Snips & Snails off pretty light for what they did.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on October 16, 2011, 03:24:34 AM
Yeah Twilght Sparkle is The teachers pet. So she felt bad and didn't punish her. And I thought the episode was okay not great. I had some issue's with it. Like I think she should have been punished. The way she freaked out over nothing was childish. And I didn't like how her friends didn't help her. So this episode was a 5
4/10 from me.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on October 16, 2011, 04:47:46 AM
Although the ending is pretty much a cop out, I do feel like it opens up new opportunities due to the fact that her friends can now also do friendship reports. In Season 1, we all got it from Twilight's Perspective (1 Pony), but now, we have the whole Mane Cast, and possible the CMC's? (6+ ponies). That's an even wider range of possibilities for the future. Seeing them from another pony's perspective other than Twilight's.

Also, do you know what you get when you watch Ed Edd n Eddy right after Season 2 Episode 3 and staying up until 1:47 AM in the morning gives you? THIS...

Doesn't mean they couldn't have that happen too.  I do like the idea myself, but really, Celestia's just being too soft here.

I think Twilight should've had her horn taken away for a week.  THAT would've been a good punishment. :P:

1. Rainbow Dash

2. Fluttershy

3. Twilight Sparkle

4. Pinkie Pie

5. Applejack

6. Rarity

I just don't believe it . The last time I was here I had no interest and I mean no Interest in this show whatsoever. I don't get the Hub so I never really got a chance to watch it. Anyway close to two months ago I saw this video of Pinkie Pie doing her Telegram song from "Party Of One" Anyway I listened to that song at least 20 times. And ever since then I have watched every single episode of Friendship Is Magic on You Tube etc.  It is an awesome show and back in August I thought this was kinda girlie. You know Ponies, I wasn't expecting to love this show at all.

And BTW that last episode was Awesome. I love creepy Twilight. She's kinda awesome. Here is my list of favorite characters.

1. Rainbow Dash

2. Pinkie Pie

3. Rarity

4. Fluttershy

5. Twilight Sparkle

6. Apple Jack


I gotta add in some back ground characters. I also love Scootaloo. Scootaloo is really awesome.

Well, I'm preparing myself for the internet explosion this Saturday.

In other news, I have trapped myself in a crack!ship. Rarity and Steven Magnet (http://bat-snake.deviantart.com/art/Crack-pairings-are-fabulous-263745330). Oh, the explanation is long and weird, but all I can say is this: Fabulous.
I've turned Mr. Magnet into a pony with ZEE MAGICS in my headcannon at some point.

They'd be good friends for sure, but I'm sure Rarity's heart would explode of love if there were a stallion like Magnet.

FiM was mentioned in the latest issue of Game Informer. It's actually a letter from a brony to the magazine in the Letters section. And it reads...

Who Are You Calling Frilly?
"As a 20-year-old guy, I was deeply disturbed when you referred to My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as "frilly" in issue 220's Timeline. I think I missed that part of the season. Was that in between when the cast overthrew an evil goddess bent on shrouding the world in eternal night and when Rainbow Dash not only broke the sound barrier, but pulled a turn that would leave any modern fighter jet in a smoldering pile of debris? Maybe it was around the time when they were fighting the dragon. Or perhaps the manticore. I mean, these girls are so bad-ass that Fluttershy single-handedly brought down a cockatrice. How did she defeat a half-dragon creature that turns anything it looks at to stone? Naturally, she just stared it down until it submitted to her will.

"Settle down, brony. The fact that your terrifying equine friends have racked up an epic list of conquests doesn't make them any less frilly. Similarly, the fact that the cartoon sounds genuinely entertaining doesn't make it any less embarassing for you to be defending the honor of a My Little Pony cartoon in a national magazine."

Thoughts/Comments anyone?

Well...when I first became a pony fan, I had a dream that was probably influenced by watching the Steven Magnet scene.

It involved a purple serpent, who, for some reason, was pi$$ed beyond belief.

And...that's about it.

Last Thursday, the Bionicle forum, Bzpower, came back online for the first time in months, due to maintenance. That meant this would be the first time I could see just how widespread this "brony craze" would be among Bionicle fans. Apparently, it's just as widespread as it is here. After only four days, the MLP discussion topic over there already had 15 pages. (I decided to stop reading by the end of the second page.)

I'm still not a "brony", but I figured you might be interested in what I found.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on October 18, 2011, 12:43:45 AM
Okay, here are my honest thoughts and notes about the episode:

Opening + Remixed Introduction:

 - The opening shot with the sun rising over Ponyville looks fantastic. I can tell the animators really put their best hoof forward for this episode right from the very start.
 - The checklist in a checklist for Twilight to check her previous checklist to make sure she didn't forget anything on her checklist's checklist. Dawg...
 - I could really tell the intro has been remixed, and it sounds refreshing to hear something new. The vocals, the instrumentals, all that sounds great. I can't wait for the Brony community to get out those remixes and what not. I am especially awaiting for a possible new EuroPony Beat.

And then there is...that train... (WARNING! BRONY NERD ALERT!
 - The balloon lands in the same spot as the old intro, and Twilight's and Spike's animations are pretty much unchanged, so I could tell that they recycled some of their animation.
 - Cheerliee and Carrot Top are also in their recycled animation spots.
 - In the old intro, the one hauling the cart was Big Macintosh in Caramel's colors. In the new Season 2 intro, they seemed to have fixed that and he is now back to his original colors, along with Granny Smith walking beside him.
 - Apparently, there is a railroad line connected straight through Ponyville.
 - The train is somehow NOT pulled by a team of muscular Earth Ponies, but is instead being operated by Steam (I can tell by the smoke coming out of the smoke stack), yet there is no tender behind the engine. Fuel -> Fire + Water -> Steam = Power to the Engine. I dunno, maybe it's done by magic. That's how a lot of people explain the unexplained in this show. IT'S MAGIC.
 - The engine has an engineer pony hanging out of the window.
 - The cab's frontal window is in the shape of a heart
 - The Engine is a 4-4-0
 - Somehow the train is able to control the two main wheels even though there are no visible pistons controlling it, which is how a train moves
 - The train is consisted of 6 cars (4 Passenger Cars, 1 Caboose, and the last car is a gondola, which is strange because the caboose is actually supposed to come in last, not another car. [This was because at the back end of a caboose was a red lamp telling trains behind them that there is one up ahead. If the inspectors find this out, they may be put out of business for a railroading violation])
 - The first car behind the engine is shaped like a muffin. It even includes Derpy Hooves in a (I think) Derped eyes position. Great nod to the fans from the animators for those who spot it.
 - The gondola is carrying the 3 CMC's. I find that irresistibly cute for some reason.

 - When the letter is sent to Princess Celestia, it now has a magical glow around it and has a slight reflection in the picture. What a nice little animation touch they put there.
 - We now know that when Celestia does magic, her horn glows green and a green magical fog envelops what she is...er...magicking. (Is that even a word?) I thind this strange, because I thought that the magical fog would match the color of their pony. Example? Twilight has a purple coat, a dark purple mane, and a pink streak running through it. Thus, her magical fog glow is purple. Rarity is white with a purple mane. Her magical fog glow is blue, which fits somewhere in between those two colors. Celestia is white with a rainbow mane and her magic is...green. I don't know about you, but when I think green magic, I think evil (A.K.A. Disney's Malificent) I thought her magic would range from a bright yellow or orange to a pure white, because, well...she controls the sun, and those colors seem fitting.

Act I: (I separate acts by commercial breaks)
 - Cheerilee's chalkboard has been returned. I don't know why, but I put this in because I really do like Cheerilee
 - This also marks the first time on-screen they have named her Cheerilee. Before that, she could of been named somepony else. Pretty interesting if you ask me.
 - CUPCAKES!
 - I wonder where Mr. Cake and Pinkie Pie are if Mrs. Cake is working in the shop. Maybe they're out back kneading some dough...and they're NOT doing what I know you're doing.
 - Right off the bat, I noticed Twilight's magic changed color. From Season 1 and the Discord episodes, her magic was just a more opaque version of her coat. Now, it's like a lavenderish dark purpleish type of color.
 - Neat and orderly Twilight is cutest Twilight ever.
 - When Spike's tongue comes out to clean his body of icing, notice how the end of his tongue has a notch, like most other lizards. But back in other episodes (A Dog and Pony Show for example) He has a normal tongue. Maybe he got a piercing and didn't like it so removed it but also slit his tongue as well...
 - Another nice nod to the old Looney Toons Cartoons. First Pinkie Pie hops and acts like Pepe Le Pew in Griffon the Brush Off, and now Spike does the classic Tasmanian Devil Spin, sound effects and all.
 - Claw cramps look a lot like arthritis, and I suspect the pain to be on the same level as well.
 - Suddenly, Spike has bandages surrounding his cramp. And it's not like he does it off screen. His scentence actually continues after the close up shot, so that means Spike got out some medical wrappings and wrapped it around his entire claw in less than 0.0000000001 seconds. You can't explain that!
 - The cast thingy just flies off a few seconds later. Nice little animation, but entirely pointless. That makes these animators a whole lot cooler.
 - We just learn that Twilight sends a Friendship Report every week. There were 24 Episodes in Season 1 (Not counting the first 2 pilots because she doesn't start sending letters on a daily basis), that's 26 weeks. Then in the Discord Episodes, we see Twilight receive, estimated, 100-200 Friendship reports. Can you imagine 200 instances where you learned about friendship within a 1 year period (According to timelines by fans by putting stuff in order, Season 1 roughly spans the time of 1 to 1 1/2 years. Now that's a LOT of friendship reports.
 - When Twilight looks out of her window to check the time via sun, according to Episode 3 and the Dragonshy Episode, there SHOULD be a balcony there. Now, it is gone.
 - I laughed out loud when I saw the sun and windmill move. I don't know why, but that still cracks me up.
 - Spike's 4th Wall break was just INGENIOUS. Pure GENIUS. Add one more reason as to why 'MLP: FiM' is awesome to the book.
 - Twilight rolling around on the bed while nagging about not sending letters is just the cutest thing ever!...again...
 - Apparently, for Unicorns, at a young age, they go to Magic Kindergarten, where they obviously warm up their magical skills for later uses...
 - But now wait a minute, I thought she was Celestia's SPECIAL student!? She doesn't get her own special training to help control all that magic, but is instead sent to public schooling!?
 - During that scene, to the left, Dinky Hooves, Pinchy, Sunnydays, and that one in the farthest seat (I forgot her name, but I've seen her before) are there. They can time travel, I guess.
 - 2nd time Spike breaks the 4th wall. GENIUS!
 - The pony in the farthest seat to your left of that scene, there is an ALICORN!
 - Twilight has to solve a problem before sundown...DAWN OF THE FINAL DAY. 24 HOURS REMAIN

Act II:
 - 20 HOURS REMAIN
 - That zoom in shot into the street and camera following Twilight down the street is actually very well animated and looks fantastic.
 - I especially like how the street curves near the edges, as if the FOV (Field of View) has been increased, as well as the buildings gradually shrinking and fading away on the horizon.
 - Twilight kicking open a door = KICK ASS AWESOME
 - After a closer inspection, when she kicks the doors, they actually open in two's (Notice the notch when the door stops) Nice little animation tibit they added.
 - Special kudos to Rarity's voice actor. When she cries, it just comes out in pure, unleaded awesomeness. That basically describes the entire scene. Rarity really steals the spotlight for that one moment.
 - The couch gag...classic
 - The street scene again. Once again, wonderfully animated.
 - Rainbow Dash's and Applejack's scene are also wonderfully animated
 - Psychiatric Twilight is also adorably cute. Also...GLASSES!
 - I love how Applejack doesn't stop Twilight from lecturing and questioning Rainbow Dash until she's called. She's liking the view she has.
 - The way Rainbow Dash tears down the shack is impractical but AWESOME. I mean, she gives it a flying kick, bites off pieces of wood and...
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/a35a3b6a4a5684f6679ddea6ecb2e7e3/71766%20-%20Hubble%20Nuclear_Rainboom%20animated%20atomic_rainboom%20episode_20%20mushroom_cloud%20rainbow_dash%20sonic_rainboom.gif)
 - Yeah, the pretty much sums it up for that scene also.
 - Fluttershy was just...um...
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/bcb9e32746ea19991054a34037827615/71742%20-%20Fightershy%20Hubble%20animated%20bear%20fatality%20fluttershy%20neck_snap.gif)
 - Pretty much sums it all up too.
 - Both scenes are wonderfully animated, once again.
 - Twilight's descent into madness if both hilarious, creepy, and downright AWESOME once again. More kudos to her voice actor for providing such rich detail in her voice.
 - The conversation with the muddle is an example of that.
 - When Twilight has a nightmarish vision of those three fillies playing jump rope...eh...Story of the Blanks much???
 - Spike breaks the 4th wall again...
 - (http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg303/angel_kurikura/Comedy/nostalgiacritic_genius.gif) (Yes, I am finally able to use this gif!)
 - During the picnic scene, Rainbow Dash is 20% cooler with those shades and sunblock.
 - Couch gag again. Seriously, I hope that becomes a running gag of the show.
 - Twilight's moment of crazy just begins here, and let me tell you, hilarity will be all that happens from here on end.
 - For friends, they aren't really concerned about her. I mean...sure, they learn their lesson later on, but she's going derranged! Eyes, mane, temper, everything!
 - Is it just me, or when Twilight teleports out of the sceen, it looks like she just went back to the future, minus the trail of fire?

Act III:
 - The "Clock is ticking Twilight...Clock...is...TICKING" scene is fantastic due to the fantastic facial reactions and voice acting.
 - I mean, seriously, just TRY to watch the scene without cracking a smile or chuckling a bit.
 - Bush Twilight is creepiest thing to have been seen by Pony eyes
 - Also, during that scene, I think her horn pierced the bird and killed it...I mean, where else could the horn of gone?
 - The CMC's at their cutest form. Not being obnoxious or anything, but just laughing, giggling, and being downright cute until...
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/025e843da8ccbce5704499ee31f9dca3/71479%20-%20Cutie_Mark_Crusaders%20Hubble%20Sweetie_Belle%20animated%20apple_bloom%20cmc%20hi_girls%20insane%20scootaloo%20twilight_sparkle.gif)
 - You might of noticed I am using more pictures near the middle half/end portion. This is mainly due to the fact that words cannot describe the scene, but pictures really do.
 - Twilight's little talk with the CMC's is the one of MANY highlights of the final quarter of the episode. It shows off her crazy derranged self in such a way that it ACTUALLY MAKES SCOOTALOO CRINGE IN FEAR AND HAS HER FLANK GROW MINIATURE WINGS
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/17983abe081a00e8b3aa2f90e5074724/72420%20-%20adorable%20cute%20scared%20scootaloo%20vector.png)
 - And Smarty Pants, oh Smarty Pants, I hope you make a return in future episodes.
 - Words and even pictures cannot describe the pure surge of hilarious emotions that erupted from the cavity of my mouth when the whole enchantment scene and onward happened.
 - Nope.bmc
 - The Mayor just HAPPENED to be taking a break and was sunbathing in a deserted field... politics are strange in Equestria.
 - Also, a bunch of Ponyvillians just HAPPENED to be walking to the exact same spot
 - I SWEAR I've heard Bonbon's voice actor before, but where? Some help here please?
 - The sun during the end of the fight scene has just retained Minecraft Physics. It is now speeding towards the horizon. I mean seriously, it's as if Celestia is just Trolling Twilight and is making the day shorter on purpose.
 - Celestia is now a police helicopter.
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/40a476dc3c2b2f74a35710707229ef99/71704%20-%20Ditzy_Doo%20Hubble%20Scrunchy_Face%20derpy_hooves%20episode_29%20mayor%20mayor_mare%20mayor_of_ponyville%20mayor_pony%20screencap%20scrunchy.PNG)
 - DERPED SCRUNCHY FACED DERPY! <3
 - The scene with Big Mac walking away with Smarty Pants is also adorable.
 - The first time I've ever heard Celestia angry towards a character 9Discord doesn't count since he is an enemy), and truthfully, I was a little frightened when I heard her in that voice. Compare that voice with the Season 1 opener where she basically tells the tale of Nightmare Moon. Sweet ---> Angry.
 - Pinkie Pie outta nowhere
 - Rarity comic relief is best kind of comic relief
 - The scene where Spike is hiding behind the bookshelf and the camera slowly pans to Twilight and Celestia is another awesome animation tibit. I mean, the camera movement + the fuzziness that shows the focus is just so awesome. You hardly see that much love put into a little girl's cartoon nowadays.
 - (http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/feb91141004bccaacbe78b23b4e6d170/71623%20-%20animated%20cute%20episode_29%20nuzzle%20nuzzling%20pinkie_pie%20rainbow_dash%20twilight_sparkle.gif)
 - Hey look, for once Spike wrote a letter without being told to. Cool.
 - And Celestia explodes into the moon...
 - Spike is now best poni
 - TVTropes: Everyone Laughs Ending

Final Thoughts:
 - It was a fun episode. Although it doesn't really expand character development (We already knew beforehand in Season 1 that Twilight can get a bit carried away with her duties), many epicly awesome laughs, macros, gifs, and what not have come out of this one single episode (I mean seriously, a ATOMIC RAINBOOM and FLUTTERSHY SNAPPING A NECK on a GIRL'S SHOW...Thank you Lauren Faust and company for providing this for us! [Yes, I know she left the team in Season 2, but she is still consultant, so she still works with them])
 - The animation has DEFIANTLY improved since Season 1 and the Discord episodes. I mean, seriously, watch a couple of Season 1 Episodes and compare it with this episode. The camera angles are now in better places to catch the sceen, the camera has stopped moving in a very boring way and is actually starting to revolve around the scene. And the scenery also tends to wrap around the camera, creating a cool FOV shot (Ex. The street scenes with Twilight walking down them)
 - Although the ending DOES feel like a cop-out and that Twilight should get punished for pretty much causing a riot among the townsfolk, it DOES provide a much broader range of friendship reports to come in. In season 1, all friendship reports were told by Twilight Sparkle; just one perspective of the situation, but now in Season 2, we can now get friendship reports from the other Mane Cast. Provides some much needed mixing up to keep us entertained
 - I was expecting an okay episode, but what I got was a fantastic end result. Although it has it's flaws, I would rate this an 8.9/10. The animation has improves, the gags are still funny, the voice acting is still top notch, I mean what else could you ask for? This is really a great episode to start off the true Season 2 with! (No, the Discord episodes don't count since they were originally supposed to air in Season 1)

- - - - -

Phew! After 2 1/2 days of rewatching and work, I finally got it done! I need to get some sleep now...  :bang

Some cute pictures, and funny ones too.

As for where Pinkie and Mr. Cake were, like mentioned before I guessed they were in the back baking since I assume they have a list of orders and someone does have to be at the front desk, while at least 1 other has to be in the back baking.  Maybe Mr. Cake is the better baker then Mrs Cake, and or he likes baking.  & we've seen in at least some season 1 episodes Pinkie knows how to make certain things which shows she must work in the back with the baker at least sometimes.

I was thinking, someone earlier mentioned the train running on steam but there is no coal car or something.  Maybe either the engineer is a unicorn, or there may be one next to him we can't see using their magic to provide the fuel or heat.  Or the train engine may be enchanted.  We've seen at least 1 type of magic item on the show, and there may be others.

I found this good fan fic on FF.net. Be warned, it is rated M but so far, it's just violence.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7472369/1/My_Average_Sized_Human (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7472369/1/My_Average_Sized_Human)

It kind of deconstructs MLP: FiM and puts it back together with pretty kickass battle scenes.

Lauren Faust actually came up with a little theory of her own towards Luna and her new look.  Basically, when the evil of Nightmare Moon left Luna, her magic was also gone.  It left her as weak as a normal earth pony.  Since then, she has been regaining her magic and on this particular day, she finally has it all back.  The new look basically represents her return to power.

It is only a theory though, but it does help fill a few plot holes. :)

Still, they'll hopefully explain everything when it airs tomorrow.  Don't forget though, you get to sleep in an extra hour.

Until then, see ya! :)

Post by: Kor on October 21, 2011, 11:52:15 AM
It could be those and maybe several reasons.  She may have had a bit of a growth spurt.  As for the mane and tail difference, it may be what you said indeed, or maybe since she had not yet resumed her duties.  I wonder if the flowing mane & tail are normal for immortals or another reason.

I wonder if they'll explain or leave it unexplained.

GAH! I won't be able to watch it on TV tommorrow because I'll be out with my friends shooting guns. Our targets are pumpkins; that's one way to celebrate Halloween...

Getting back on topic, I'll just have to watch it on Youtube then.

I strongly suppose that the main reason I never really picked up on FiM is because I was too wound up in the Scott Pilgrim series; reading the graphic novels and getting excited for the film. But now that I've decided to let my curiosity get the better of me, I'm glad I did just that.

Been stoked for this episode since I heard about it. I'm not exactly a huge fan of Luna (at least not the fanon Luna), but it will be awesome to inally see her return.

And seeing those preview clips makes it all the more unbearable to wait!

OK, we got Granny Smith finally having a coherent line, an adorable British-accented male foal named Pipsqueak, and Pinkie Pie dressed as a chicken. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS1twEPzQxo&feature=player_embedded)

And we have Luna making the coolest entrance EVER! With thunder and lightning, descending from the moon in a dark cloak in a gothic chariot pulled by bat-winged pegasi. Not to mention, the triumphant return of Zecora as well! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdZAOfblwaU&feature=player_embedded).

My theory on why she is making such a dark and spooky entrance is...well, it is NIGHTMARE Night. Maybe she's just in-character.

WARNING!!  THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!!

So basically, Luna is now a pony who is stuck in old traditions and is trying to fit in with a society that is a thousand years out of her league.  Hmm, not too sure how I feel about that.

She is also more of the traditional type of princess than her sister is.  So much so in fact, that they are complete opposites of one another.  In fact, one big thing was that Celestia understands fun while Luna does not.  The citizens of Ponyville had to practically teach Luna what "fun" is.

Also, you have to understand that the ponies being scared is nothing more than an act.  In fact, it's one that goes too far sadly.  Luna got so upset about everyone fearing her that she cancelled the holiday.  Not understanding that being scared of her was all part of the holiday fun.

However, it is sadly what makes me greatly dislike her new character.

You see, I've always hated the customs that royalty has.  I can understand WHY they have them, but it's also for those very reasons that the customs can die for all I care.  They're just so stupid and unnecessary in the end.

Celestia was such a nice change of pace.  She is a far more likeable character for me because of the fact that she steps away from many of the traditions of royalty.  It's the whole reason I put her in my top ten to begin with.

I'm sorry, but I just can't like cannon Luna in the end.  She's too attached to royal customs, and I hate those things with a passion.  However, if she were to let them go, I might like her in the end.  Sadly, until then, there's no way she's making my top ten.

Sorry, but to me, she was better as a villain. :)

However, I did like the new pony, Pip.  Yes, they actually named the new pony Pip after the main character in the novel "Great Expectations".  I'm sure some brony will make a side story out of that.  Just watch, it's expected now.

Anyways, next episode, a sisterly squabble with Rarity and Sweetie Belle.  Hmm, I wonder if this will bring up anything about the reason their parents...  aren't around.  I'm calling in Death Lesson!  Come on, writers, take the chance!

All I could think was "Luna is a socially awkward penguin". Though, I'm kinda surprised that she hasn't caught on from Celestia that the "royal dialect" has changed.

Pipsqueak was named after Pip?! Silly Ptyra, how did you not catch on to that?

I think you should cut Luna some slack.  A thousand years of history is long time, and the way she is is just how things were back then.  It makes perfect sense for her to act the way she does, given the context.

Consider that it will probably take some time for her to 'mellow out' and become a bit looser as a pricecess like her sister.

Heck, by the end of the episode she is already learning.

This was by far the most enjoyable episode of MLP I've ever watched, and I hope she makes more appearences in the series.

Canon Luna is best Luna!  :p
I didn't have any expectations of her personality since I don't read any fanfictions of her. But I did saw pictures of her being lonely and sad most of the time. I was afraid she'd become a Fluttershy-like character but I'm glad the crew gave her a socially awkward and more imperious personality.  :yes

The way she speaks is also a nice touch. I mean, she was banished for a thousand years and wasn't aware of the more modern speech (why didn't you tell her Celestia? Troll much? :p).

Also, she can go to "Nightmare Moon-Mode" now! Awesome! :DD And I really like her new mane!  :D

Other highlights: Pipsqueak and Chicken Pie!  :lol:

Ha! About time Rainbow get's her own pet. :D
Let's see: Twilight has Owlicious, Applejack has Winona, Fluttershy has Angel, Rarity has Opal and Pinkie has Gummy. Now if RD ever get's one, I really hope to see a pet centered episode in the future. :yes

I liked watching the episode, though it did have weak spots.  You'd have thought it being a year she would have learned not to use that voice, unless she spent the year hiding from her older sister refusing to be around her at all.  I guess that use to be her favorite night, but not a good idea to use that night to try to make friends, I'd think.  Though I did like certain scenes.  It could have been a lot worst.

Apparently, the script was going to be longer, included Rarity, and explained how Princess Luna got her Nightmare Moon Costume.

As well, Rarity's voice actor also voices Luna's, so no loss, right? I mean, when she speaks sometimes, you can hear a hint of Rarity in there. Close enough I guess  :lol

2. Twilight Sparkle (Thanks to her CRAZY-ness, you're #2 on my list now)
3. Rarity (Thanks to her line "Of all the worse things that could happen, this is the WORST POSSIBLE THING" now you're #3 on my list)

I'd love to see that too. If they ever do go for that, I'm sure the emotional payoff will be worth it; because let's face it: whether your young or old, EVERYONE has lost someone close to them.

But at the same time I'm not going to totally give my hopes up for something like that to happen. I'm sure it'll be a good episode either way it goes.

Fffff, there's my new ship D: !

I'm looking forward to the next episode too. It seems to me that there's a sister-tastic celebration in it, so we might see some Celestia-Luna interaction at some point. It would be awesome if they ended up talking to Rarity and Sweety Belle in the end.

Met my first brony today (technically a female so...pegasister?) and got my first brohoof.

Yeah.
It's just so satisfying to meet bronies in real life, isn't it? I've had the fortune to meet a few, as well as havng one of my best friends aparently finally come to grips with liking the show (he was in the denial stage previously)

To bad we have to wait till early November for the next episode.  

Not sure if it's true, but I read rumors that the show's been renewed for a 3rd season.  Nice if it is true.

Okay, I give up.  I've tried my best to avoid the show, but ever since I saw the Equestria Girls trailer, I've been a bit interested.  Once I saw the two Discord episodes, I've been hooked.  I find the show to be very funny (especially the Discord episodes), and it is nice to have a cartoon that adults can actually enjoy.

I guess I'm a brony now.

Want to play a fun game that will waste countless hours?

Rarity's voice actor (Tabitha St. Germain) also voices Luna. During the Lunar Eclipse episode, spot how many times you hear Luna reach, or at least come close to, Rarity's voice. I've spotted a few instances of my own, but how many will YOU spot?  :lol

You were rather harsh in your post, Starfall. I agree with Pokelayer. The way you handled the post was immature. If you don't like MLP, then you could have just said so, rather than attacking both the show and the people who like it. Or you didn't even have to say anything at all. Don't like it? Don't watch it.

I happen to like My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. And there are a lot of people who do like it. If you don't like it, then fine, you don't have to like it. But you don't need to go telling people who happen to like it that they're stupid. How would you like it if someone criticized you so harshly just because of something you like?

Post by: DarkHououmon on October 24, 2011, 03:17:05 PM
Let me make this clear: you not liking the show isn't what bothers me, Starfall. It's the way you handled in saying it. You could have opted to say something like "No offense, but I hate this show. I just can't get into it." Somewhere along those lines. That kind of response would have been more mature and get across your statement of not liking it better.

But instead, you decide to attack the show and the fans who happen to like it. There was no reason for you to do that. That was a childish act (no offense, but that's how I feel about it) and only makes you come across as more of a troll than someone who just doesn't like the show, in my opinion.

I would recommend that, next time you want to voice your negative opinion on MLP, you show some more restraint. Don't attack the people who happen to like the show.

Looks like the next 2 may have them.  The next one looks like, looking at what wikipedia says about it, may center around Rarity and her little sister, Sweetie Belle.  I would assume the rest of the CMC will likely appear.  and the next one seems to be centered around the CMC.

And when I first heard of the show I thought man I never liked the others so I may not like this one. And a few members here told me to give it a try and I watched four episodes and I was hooked right away. It's a awesome show and the song's are great. And I'm proud to be a Brony.

I apologize if any of my recent posts have been too harsh/offensive. I guess my temper was starting to get the better of me.

Anyway, back on topic, a friend of mine is working on a roleplay/fanfic idea that follows the same basic plot of season 1, episode 1 and 2, but involving new elements and new characters. Not sure yet which it'll end up being (roleplay or fanfic).

Post by: landbeforetimelover on October 25, 2011, 11:01:32 AM
I didn't like the Halloween one very much.  It just didn't have that good old pony feel to it.  In fact, I haven't really liked ANY of the season 2 episodes so far. :( I guess maybe it has lost it's appeal to me now that Faust isn't working on it anymore.  I'll still watch them because I think ponies are awesome, but the stories just don't do it for me anymore.  I didn't like Luna at all.  Discord was a total disappointment (well, other than his voice).  

The thing I liked about the season 1 episodes was they weren't too focused on telling a story, but rather opening up the characters and showing us who they really were.  That's what they USED to do with good shows.  Now they just focus on making a quick show and a quick buck that only focuses on keeping you glued to the screen for the 20 minutes.  The season 1 episodes gave me hours of things to think about after the episode ended.  Now it's just like watching a cheap 20 minute cartoon.  Once it's over, you really don't think about it.

Maybe they decided to drop the songs for season 2.  That could be 1 reason.

I'm pretty sure that there will be some songs in the upcoming episodes. It wouldn't make sense to get rid of something they had plenty of in the first season.

What I'm curious about though is whether or not "the Great and Powerful" Trixie will make a return appearance...

In either case, all I have to say about the future episodes is this:

*Takes in long deep breath*...yay.

Quotes from the MLP Wikia:

Quote
Jayson Thiessen, one of the show's directors, hinted that Trixie may return in the second season.

And although I can't find it at the moment, Daniel Ingram (The Show's Musical Composer) posted on Facebook that the songs will be bigger and better in Season 2, but he didn't specify WHEN. I swear, if we don't get a song, even a 15 Second one from Pinkie Pie in the next episode, I may just scream  :lol

I wonder why Luna doesn't have any bodyguards? There are a couple of possibilities for this:

1. She didn't tell her sister she was going to Ponyville so Celestia didn't bother to arrange any (likely reason)

or

2. Luna doesn't need any.  I would be willing to bet that even with her dark powers gone she could probably pulp anyone that gets in her way.  I would love to see a pony like Trixie challenge her to a duel to see what she is truely capable of now.

If you really want my honest opinion, you're going to have to wait for my review to come out  :lol . Stuff is getting in the way of completion, however.

Also, a LONG time. The Internet took a liking for it, and everyone knows once the internet latches on, it will take a LONG time to wear off.

Art of the Industry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-IjuIKSUlo&feature=related)

Proposed Lyrics:

Gear by gear, screwing them together~

Twilight's machine, melding the metal hit by hit,

Making sure the screwholes match nicely,

It's the perfect size, this metal strip,

Making sure the barrel's correctly facing,

I'm building, Twilight's machine~!

----------------

Yep, a steampunk/pseudo-industrial remix of Art of the Dress.

It reminds me of this piece from PokÈmon Colosseum: The Under Theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-911UPw6u7k&feature=related) but with more of a classical vibe.

----------------

So we've got steampunk ponies. Anyone willing to guess that that cyberpunk ponies are next?

Have some cyborg ponies:

You know, I just realized something, Fallout Equestria is so f---ing huge that it could split off from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and become its own franchise!

I dream that Hasbro will one day make a My Little Pony "After Midnight" branch for the older fans. You know, the ones who like the grittiness of Fallout Equestria and similar dark works.

Hell, I'd be happy with them doing a My Little Pony "After Sunset" branch that has the grittiness of say Batman Beyond. Maybe aim it towards boys and girls who like the darker stuff. Of course, I can see adults getting into this too.

Maybe with a mix of male and female main cast.  It could be set in a different city or maybe still based in Ponyville.  Could be a reason some ponies we don't see often like Big Macintosh isn't around a lot, he's busy elsewhere with another group.

If that were to happen, some other studio or a fan with an UBER amount of money would have to buy the franchise in order to create this 'After Midnight' version, because most likely, Hasbro wouldn't want to put their money into something that they could not inject a steady toy line off of (The main reason why the show keeps on airing is because of the toy sales).

Plus, think of the controversy. A gritty show for girls is nearly unimaginable in today's society. Sure, we are trying to teach them that girl's shows can be dark and gritty, but people would tear that show APART if it ever aired. Plus, if controversy IS a side effect, Hasbro wouldn't want that image associated with them. They would receive TONS of hate and sales would plummet.

A little more than 8 hours left before a new episode, and with every new episode comes the wave of conversation.

Speaking of which...shooooooooooot...I forgot to post my review  :bang

Ah well, I didn't really have much to say about the episode. It was "Meh." Wasn't too great but not too terrible either. Just..."Meh."

Derpy Doll, what do you think?

Has anyone read Guardians and its sequel Ceasefire by Warhorse72?

They are both gritty and brutal war stories. Best way to describe it: Tom Clancy, David Drake and Keith Laumer do a MLP:FiM movie with their own twist.

The only thing I hated were the puns. They grated on me after a while.

Gah, this makes me want to write an MLP war story! But I need to finish my LBT war story and assistance in Cornova's PokËmon war story...

So, Rarity's parents just like to go on vacation CONSTANTLY? -_- Seriously, don't writers realize that sometimes they're better off with using death to explain disappearances?  Or is that so taboo in Kid's Shows these days that it's forbidden?

You know what?  Too upset at that, not even going to finish until I calm down.

Now, I need to get that LBT marathon of mine at my site started.

Post by: Allicloud on November 05, 2011, 11:20:35 AM
Well, I just finished the episode, and qute rankly, I thought it was really good.

Being a Rarity-central episode more than made up for the last of Rarity last episode. The idea of having an episode dedicaed to the many sibling relationships in the series was a good idea, methinks. For me, this story seemed pretty strong, with some good drama and nice sequences. And that moment of Rarity's realisation about Sweetie Belle...Probably the most heartwarming thing I've seen this season.
As for the humour, this was probably one of the funniest episodes so far. Rarity's parents were brilliant (I wouldn't exactly call them Appleoosan, just excessivly American tourist-y) the ending of the sequence with the sheep definitely got a grin out of me, and Granny Smith had me rolling on the floor.

As usual, the animation was lovely, the voice acting was top notch, and the music was great (I especially liked the music playing during the race. It just worked)

As for the background ponies, I am glad that, even though we now know that Dinky and Seafoam are apparently sisters, and Berry Punch and Carrot Top both have little sisters, they've still managed to not mess with determined fanon relationships.

IMO, perhaps the best non-Discord episode this season so far.

Ugh!  Unless no one comes, then I have no point in doing it since it was meant for the FANS! *sighs* Okay, maybe I should explain why it's a bad idea for Rarity's parents to be alive.

You see, the problem here is that the whole "parents dead" explanation the fans gave easily fulfilled the plot hole of Rarity starting her own business.  Basically, to take care of Sweetie Belle.  Now with the parents being alive it's pretty much gone and creates a plot hole we don't need.

In this case, they were better off leaving well enough alone.  They wanted to avoid hate mail so they decided to keep them alive for that reason?  Well, they'll sadly STILL get it, just from the fans instead.  Which, as we all know, is much worse than getting mail bombs from Soccer Moms.

Trust me, the fans will NEVER get over this little mistake.

That's the fandom burning in the fires of Non-Canon.

Rarity now has parents.
Dinky's sister is Sparkler (Which means Derpy is BOTH their mother)
Berry Punch's daughter is no longer Pinchy, or Ruby, or what ever you call her, which means ALL those AskPony blogs, FanArt, and FanFiction are now non-canon

It's amazing what a single episode can do to bring down an entire section of Fan Made ideas that we have soon become so used to.

Erm, how exactly does this episode make Ruby Pinch no longer Berry Punch's daughter? As far as I could tell it just gave Berry Punch a little sister as well. In fact, Ruby didn't show up this episode at all...

And Pokeplayer, I reall think yo're lowing he whole "Rarity's parents not dead" thing out of proportion a bit. How does having them alive create a plothole? Why would it make Rarity having her own business a plothole? From what I see, it simply means that Rarity is old enough to live onher own and run her own business, and Sweetie Belle simply lives in Ponyville and visits her often. And I seriously doubt that any other fans will be particularly enraged by the fact that another mane character has determined parents.

If I had a screenshot of that, you'll notice that the shake....it was basically deep fried :p

Then there was the whole "My sandwhich is a fried boot!" cue customer holding up a fried boot.

So by that, at least Sweetie Belle was trying to impress someone, while Squidward.....well, he was being Squidward :lol

Fillies and Gentlecolts, I am proud to present, what may be a leaked upcoming song from season 2!

Smile Smile Smile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdvVWa4XYSs&feature=channel_video_title)

I've listened to it several times now, and I'm convinced it's authentic.

1. The singer sounds exactly like Pinkie Pie's singing voice. It's far too close to be faked. Or if it is, then give his person an award for best impersonation ever.

2. The backing music sounds just like David Ingram's style. The snare drum, the ukelele, the synths, the backing choir at the end. It all fits.

3. The name at the end, Veronica Dela Cruz, is indeed the name of one of the animators on the show.

EDIT: 4. It has already been taken down from Equestria Daily, which means somebody's asked them to, which probably means that it is real, and leaked without permission.

So, if this is the quality of the songs for this season, we're in for one awesome season!

It says something when I used Twi and Me (1st person story by same author. Features a Human having sex with Twilight Sparkle) to clean my mind. Yes, those two earlier stories were that bad. Hell, the MLP: Laboratories fics (best described as MLP:FiM on a really bad acid trip is better.

Well to be honest, I wouldn't say writing such a fanfic means they are less of a fan. I think that's a pretty unfair judgment right there. You can say they are a "disturbing fan", but not "less of a fan".

So long as they aren't hurting anybody, I see no problems with such a fanfic. It's not my taste, so I won't read it. But I won't judge the author harshly because of it. They have every right to write that kind of fanfic. Nobody is getting hurt.

Post by: landbeforetimelover on November 07, 2011, 12:30:38 AM
Who would even agree to host such a fic?  No.  Don't tell me.  I don't want to know.  If people want to write fantasies of themselves or humans engaging in sex with pony characters, whatever.  But when they're underage, that's just completely and totally sick and wrong.  Makes me thankful I only frequent places like Equestria Daily that disallow adult sexual material.  Though I did find a place called "Clopfic Directory."  I didn't read anything there, but out of curiosity I scrolled down the page to see how many fics were actually posted there and found there was a heck of a lot of material.  If you're looking for pony related stuff, you're bound to come across some very sick things.  Thankfully I've only run into a few inappropriate images on ponybooru (or something like that), but it was enough to make me stop clicking on links from there unless I know for certain what they are.

EDIT:  I'm surprised how many bad MLP thing's I've stumbled upon accidentally.  Typing in even the most innocent things can bring up some very inappropriate stuff.  I certainly hope the creators don't get sued or something from their kids looking at stuff like this.  It would be very sad if the show was cancelled due to the depraved acts of a few individuals.  

I mean seriously.  Put safe search on moderate (the default setting) and just try typing in two ponies name's.  For example, "pinkie pie rainbow dash" (no quotes) brings up a few images I wouldn't want to be explaining to my kids.  Take the safe search off and I'm sure it would be even worse (I haven't tried it though so I can't be sure).  As for the moderate results, nothing sexual is shown, but there are several images with two ponies on top of each other looking seductively at one another and one of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash kissing.  The VERY FIRST RESULT is a comic about Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash making out.  And this is with safe search on MODERATE people!

In the interest of fanfiction, I do have a few Christmas ones in mind, though I am not sure they will get past the area of my head.  Just know, they are adaptations of classic stories, which are as follows.

A Christmas Carol
The Gift of the Magi

I'm hoping these make it past my mind.  I hate them not making it on paper.  Maybe I should give up my LP projects so I can go back to fanfiction for a while. :)

In the interest of fanfiction, I do have a few Christmas ones in mind, though I am not sure they will get past the area of my head.

I would like to examine the forum as well.

Not to mention, I dug up this weird idea for an MLP:FiM fan fic:


On that note, Darwin's Soldiers and MLP:FiM - a three part story:

Arc 1:
An experiment with the Einstein-Rosen bridge brings the Mane Six into Pelvanida. Just before they can return them, terrorists besiege the base. Can our heroes rely on the Mane Six to help repel the terrorists?

Arc 2:
The Mane Six prepare to go home after the terrorist assault is thwarted but when one of their own goes missing - courtesy of a shady research project known as Dragonstorm, our heroes are left with no choice but to find them. Can they protect the Mane Six from Dragonstorm's clutches and find a way to return the Mane Six to Equestria?

Arc 3:
The Einstein-Rosen bridge sucessfully and safely returns the Mane Six to Equestria.

Months later, all is well and the Einstein-Rosen bridge is slated for decomissioning. But suddenly, something comes through the portal and that something is Discord! After he taunts them, he hurls Pelvanida into Equestria. Unfortunately, he "accidentally" forgets the fusion reactor and the connections to the utilities. Our heroes then find that Equestria had been plunged into infinite night by Nightmare Moon and her loyal followers now live in this land of darkess. They then have to find the Mane Six to help them return home and stop Discord. Can they do it?

I fear what Season 3 will bring.

Okay, why you ask?  Well, a recent rumor popped up that some writers of the series moved on to other works after Season 2 was completed.  As such, this will bring forth a different quality of work when Season 3 finally rolls round.  Whether or not it will be better or worse is anyone's guess, and with the changes I've seen with Lauren Faust not leading the helm, I can only imagine what can happen for Season 3 with this information floating around, and the result is not pretty.

I fear that Season 3 could be the "Uncanny Valley" of the series.  Let's hope I am wrong. -_-
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on November 09, 2011, 12:04:01 PM
It may change.  I guess it depends on how many of the folks will be around for season  3, as well as if they picked new folks who can write, draw, ect, in the same style as the first 2 seasons, and or if Hasbro wants changes done to the show, or if they want things to remain frozen in time so to speak, like Marvel and DC do.  So certain things can't be done or happen.

I don't know if they will release a full season DVD release. Hasbro makes most of their money from the toy lines.
However, with the popularity of the show, they might release a full season DVD. It would be a great financial benefit to Hasbro.

They focus more on the dark art. Most of them need a mature membership to see them and they usually are very gory and fairly disturbing. But they are actually fairly well drawn.

Oh yeah, this guy (who apparently is a former Marine and a brony), wrote Stormriders: Luna's Own (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1385/1).

Best way to describe it: Tom Clancy is a brony! Yep, military fiction meets MLP. So much good, dark, MLP to read!

Mark your clocks people.

Tomorrow, 7 AM on the HUB, a new MLP Episode.

Looks like they reverted back to the old way of releasing a new episode every Saturday instead of the previous one every next Saturday.

So, today's episode was about what happens when you cheat to get your cutie mark.  Yes, apparently you can cheat in getting it, but there are consequences in doing so.  In this episode, Applebloom finds out about a plant that makes you talented, and from there, it's insanity. :)

Applebloom, just start building something and you'll get that cutie mark.  We all know THAT is where your talent is. ;)

The only thing bothering me about this episode?  The change in Scootaloo's voice.  Seriously, why change her voice actor?  Could the original one not do it anymore for some reason?  I liked the old one better. -_-

In all, good episode for what it was.  I shall await the next one, which is Rainbow Dash-centric. :D

Huh...I honestly didn't notice the change in voice actor for Scoot.

For me, it was a good episode, certainly hilarious, but not the best. It's another one of those episodes that you kinda like the first time, and it then grows on you the more you watch it.
Though I do find the lack of Fluttershy disturbing.

And speaking of fluttershy, prepare for the sweetest little fanfic dub you have ever heard: From "On a Cross and Arrow", the moment when Fluttershy accidentally meets, and gains a crush on, her genderswapped version, Butterscotch. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsEAabIhETQ&feature=related) For those of you who don't know, this particular fic's story is that a botched teleportation spell ends up sending the Mane 6 into an alternate, genderswapped, universe. Quick FYI, not all the encounters between the male and female counterparts end in romance.

Wait, since when did they change voice actors? I'd have to rewatch the credits to confirm that.

Great Episode. Made me laugh out loud and is another great addition to Season 2.

I enjoyed it overall.  Interesting to see some of the main characters as more minor sort of roles.  I guess one could take the CMC episodes & treat those as a spin off sort of series.   Interesting that Rainbow Dash had a cameo and was asleep through it.  Wonder if she noticed the cloud she was sleeping on was smaller when she awoke.

I wouldn't be suprised if by the end of Friendship is Magic, that Ponyville ends up getting all sorts of buildings show up, like a mall, as you said, a cinema complex, a race track, an indoor roller rink, an arcade....you name it XD

Well, Scootaloo definitely sounded different in this episode.  Maybe the actor is going through a change in voice or something?

Anyways, I too was surprised to find they have a bowling alley in Ponyville.  Seriously, what else do they have in town?  Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I must say, I enjoyed this episode.  My favorite part was when Applebloom made Twilight's hair just like Rarity's with that hoop thing of hers and Spike like fell in love.  LOL.  I would have NEVER thought of something like that.  That's one of the things I like about this show.  It's so random without being stupid, unlike most of the other shows out there nowadays.

I know a guy from the UK that custom makes them.  They're not cheap though.  This one cost me $25.  I know.  It's an insane price to pay for a keyring.  But it's custom made and when you think about it, $25 doesn't buy crap nowadays.  I just went to Taco Bell with my friend and it was $23.  After that I didn't feel so bad about buying this.  Next time he suggests going and eating out, I'll just pass.  I'd much rather have this keyring and eat something at home instead. :p

Okay, if there is one thing the fandom of this show is known for, it's shipping the most popular ponies of the show together.  The old chart at hand had only the mane six, Spike and Big Mac.  This newly updated one has a few additions.  The thickness of the lines represents the number of stories recorded to have the shipping at hand.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6H63EmJ8Snw/TsGX...fvI/s1600/1.jpg (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6H63EmJ8Snw/TsGXGLUdL3I/AAAAAAAAUO8/xjDUwhaNfvI/s1600/1.jpg)

Wow!  They STILL haven't let up on the whole "lesbians" theory, have they?  Especially with Rainbow Dash.  The fandom is seriously set on making her a "chick magnet", aren't they?  At this point, my argument won't make a dent in the thing, will it?  Oh well! :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: landbeforetimelover on November 15, 2011, 04:21:22 AM
I find that chart a bit disturbing.  Spike going to Princess Celestia?  Princess Celestia going to Twilight?  And holy buckets there's a lot of lesbian action going on with Rainbow Dash.  She's never been shipped with Spike or Big Mac?  Perhaps the most disturbing of all are all the lines between Applejack and Big Mac.  Though I don't know.  Spike and Celestia.....Blagh!

Actually, if you take a good look at the chart, you will notice a single red line connecting Rainbow Dash and Big Mac.  So yeah, there's only ONE story for that shipping in the end.

Oh, and BTW, I checked the comments of EqD on this.  Thanks to this little thing, Rainbow Dash is only going to get paired up even more now.  Yep, someone is planning CelestiaDash.  Let me just say that I like the idea of Celestia being Rainbow Dash's mother A LOT more.  It just makes a lot of sense to me. :)

The way I see the Mane Six in general, they represent the different types of people we meet everyday, as well as how we lived our lives.

For example:
For my life up to after high-school, I was a bit like Fluttershy; friendly, a bit shy, quiet. But I suppose after I got my own place in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and got a job, I became a bit more like Applejack; hard working, more sociable.

But at the same time I'm not too worried about this bill, because bills like these usually get shut down or fail to pass Congress.

Is the second season two-part episodes as good or better than the first in your opinions?
I feel that the two-part opening of Season 2 is somewhat better.  Discord is a fantastic villain and was by all means quite the threat to the mane six.  He is not that of a physical threat, but rather this guy uses cunning to defeat his opponents.  He had the power to destroy the strong bond of friendship the group had developed.  In fact, he had almost won.  If it wasn't for the fact that Princess Celestia helped Twilight remember the friendship that had been developed, they would've never gotten over the spells that had been cast upon them.

However, I will agree with others on one main aspect.  It was too fast paced.  The premier definitely needed one or two more episodes to feel fully fleshed out.  I would understand if the writers didn't come up with enough material to make that happen, but I doubt that's the case.

Still, it is definitely worth checking out, even if you are not a fan of the show.  Trust me when I say that you will enjoy it, regardless.

Oh, and all of the dislike for Discord after the first episode, completely uncalled for.  He is a wonderful villain and he did not deserve that.  To all of the fans that did that, please, do not set expectations like that... EVER!  You only set yourself up for disappointment this day and age.  Bottom line!

That's all I have to say and I'll see ya later!

Unless there's a last minute animal that will come into play, my money is on the bat.
EDIT: I'm sure Batman is rooting for the bat too, for obvious reasons...

It's a good thing RD is getting a pet. Because I was right about to write a fanfiction where she became a "Mama Falcon" for a little while...and then the grown-up falcon she raised caused trouble (including killing one of Fluttershy's animals), forcing RD to let the fella go.

Just at the first commercial, and good news, THERE'S A SONG!!!

I'll finish this after the episode is over. :)

EDIT: Last minute entry, tortoise.  Hope it doesn't win.  SO overdone in kids shows!

EDIT 2: THIS IS THE REVIEW!

Okay, pretty good episode, to be honest.  I loved all of the things the animals did to impress Rainbow Dash.  The competition was very enjoyable.

Not to mention, we FINALLY got our first song of the season, which by all means was pretty good.

Won't say who won.  Not going to spoil it. (Though I'm sure someone else will in this thread.)

We should expect the song on YouTube later today.

See ya later! :)

Rarity and Fluttershy are tied for second
Then Rainbow Dash
And Pinkie Pie has nothing on me XD

You're often found diving into a book or spending hours working on that project of yours. It's important that you put in as much of an effort learning as possible so your knowledge will someday come in handy. Because of this, you may sometimes be skeptical of things that you don't have any proof of.

While you tend to be booksmart as opposed to streetsmart, you also tend to be a tad socially awkward, not always sure how well you fit in with your friends or maybe not even having a lot of them in the first place, but you're still a solid friend when it comes down to it and would be there to help any of them with their problems.

Even though you may be talented, you're the total opposite of a showoff, shying away from bragging or even talking about your talents. You don't want the world to think you're a braggart, after all. You're quite humble and modest, but you're also looking for acceptance and praise for your talents.

I'll take your folk's word that Derpy is in the episode, besides in the opening.  I've never seen her in that scene at Fluttershy's place, reguardless of how often I watch that part of the episode.  The only place I can see her is in the opening on the train.

Plus twilight could recast that walk on clouds spell she cast on herself and her friends offscreen in that season 1 episode and put it on Him.  maybe make it permanent, or Rainbow dash could have Spike send a letter to the princess to ask her to do that.  Or Spike may do it himself.

Okay, final guesses every pony!  Who do you think is behind "stealing Rainbow Dash's thunder"?

My final guess...

It's Princess Luna who is in disguise, but Pinkie Pie is the mastermind behind it all.

Hey, why not? :P:

Well, apparently she actually has a guy voice acting her in the Brazilian Dub, and by my research, it is rather obvious.  The guy makes no attempt to hide it whatsoever.  They still call her a she in that version, it's just painfully obvious a guy is playing her.

Watching episode now.  Turns out, Rainbow Dash has a fan club and Scootaloo is the head of it.

Yep, it's a Rainbow Dash as a hero episode.  Let's see if we can figure it out from here.

REVIEW TIME!

Well, there's not much to say about this episode.  Goes just about as well as expected with the plot and all.  I can't say too much without spoiling the episode for those who are waiting until the YouTube Stream to see it.

There's really nothing bad I can say about it.  It's not a perfect episode by any means.  There are some nitpicks here and there, (Especially a point of bad animation in there somewhere.) but overall, it is a good episode.

Now, if you all don't mind, I need to check out a few PMVs that I obviously missed out on.

See ya later! :)

I did. This show tends to be predictable at times, and often, at least for me, it can be a little easy to tell what will happen (though I've been wrong a few times). For this episode, I was completely write in my guessing. The show just left too many hints. It was just too easy for me to realize what was going to happen in the end.

Oh, and would you look at that!  Fans are already claiming that AppleDash is cannon, all due to the scene where Applejack and Rainbow Dash had their picture taken getting paused at the right time.

Excuse me while I spend the day making a video about my opinion on that statement.

Post by: LBTDiclonius on November 26, 2011, 05:15:26 PM
(This contains mild spoilers!!!)

Hm...latest episode was...interesting, in my opinion.

I'm glad that Rainbow learned her lesson about being a braggart. Although, I'm still thinking that she'll act like that a few more times in the future. And Mare Do Well, was REALLY not expecting that. I thought it was going to be Luna, since she could both fly, and do magic. But when the others started talking about her and Twilight got that suspicious grin on her face, I started to change my opinion on things.

In my closing I say it was a decent episode, not my favorite, but Rainbow Dash still remains as my number one character. Also, they need to do something about that road that leads of a cliff.

I hate to say it, but it sure looks like they kissed.  Especially since Applejack stuck her tongue out and looked so disgusted afterwards.  And she also almost barfed.  Though that could have been the way Rainbow Dash was squeezing her neck.  I don't think that was supposed to be in there, but an animator decided to do it just to see if he could get away with it.  But this was WAY too transparent of a trick.

Well, here’s a latecomer to this thread. :rolleyes I actually checked out MLP:FiM the night this thread was first posted. I’ll admit, I had a deeply ingrained aversion to doing so (I consider myselfóand strive to beóan open-minded person, but I had ancient memories of the original series filed away next to Barney in the “stuff I saw in my youth that I’d rather forget” section of my brain :p), and in fact I’m not sure I would have bothered looking further into this show if I hadn’t seen this post by DarkHououmon:
Quote from: DarkHououmon,Mar 7 2011 on  08:33 PM
One of my favorite characters is Rarity. She is obsessed with fashion and is a designer herself. But she isn't an airhead or self-centered. She is actually quite generous and does care about her friends. In the second episode, she cuts off her own tail and puts it on a sea serpent (whose mustache was hacked off) so he would feel better.
There was something about the prospect of seeing a unicorn giving a sea serpent a prosthetic mustache that I couldn’t resist. :lol My interest was further piqued by the various mythological creatures in the videos AvestheForumFox posted. Subsequently I tried to find out more about the episodes (namely, which ones those creatures appeared in), and sometime shortly after midnight on March 8, 2011, I watched the pilot on YouTube, followed by a few other episodes.

I can’t really remember my initial thoughts of the first episodes I saw; I think I considered it a well-made show, but, much like the first time I watched The Land Before Time after years of ambivalence to the series, it took time for my fandom of MLP to develop. As with LBT, I don’t know when I realized that I was obsessed with the show. It might have been around the time I discovered Equestria Daily, and started collecting and viewing MLP fanart and fanfiction in earnest. One of the earliest fanart pieces I saw (which to this day remains one of my favorites) is this comic featuring a ponies and MythBusters crossover (http://theartrix.deviantart.com/art/Today-on-Mythbusters-ponies-200939257). :lol

I don’t have a favorite pony (or a favorite character, for that matter). I find that I identify with all of the mane six, and like the LBT gang, I honestly can’t choose one over the others. I suppose I do have an especially pronounced fondness for Pinkie Pie, and whenever she’s onscreen, you can count on me being happy. :smile (Still, I refuse to pick favorites! -_-) The humor of this show is one of the things I enjoy most about it; really, any of the characters can crack me up, but Pinkie is especially good at it. :lol And don’t get me started on Discord. He pretty much instantly became one of my all-time favorite antagonists.

Also, the show made me very happy last week with its portrayal of a bat in "May the Best Pet Win". :smile Not only was the bat treated as cute, non-scary to the characters, and desirable as a pet (even though batsóand, actually, most of the other animals in that episodeóare not recommended as real-life pets), but it actually made it to the final round of the competition (the only flyer that wasn’t a bird of prey), and had the adjective “awesome” directly applied to it more than once. :wow Someone on the MLP team respects bats! :DD

In closing, thank you, Aves and DarkHououmon, for introducing this show to me! :D

Halters (the item of horse tack) can be seen on the dress forms in Rarity's shop. Nopony is seen wearing them.

The "There's a Pony for That" ad shows that Rarity makes bridles.

Several ponies are seen wearing saddles.  

So in a world of sapient equines, why would tack even exist?

My only guess was that saddles served some utilitarian purposes (or as fetish wear) while bridles, halters, etc. served as fetish wear.

Season 2, Episode 9
12/3 10:00am EST
Sweet and Elite
Rarity must choose between her friends and important social connections in Canterlot.

So basically, to help her business, Rarity would have to move and set up shop in Canterlot.  Hmm, I wonder how they will handle this one.  We shall see. :)

On another note, I now have another two friends converted: one has already worked her way through season 1 since last Wenesday, and the other, who is newer to it, is now actively seeking out the episodes I haven't shown him yet.

Ancient Blunders (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/11/story-ancient-blunders.html)

Basically, it is an homage of Past Sins.  This time though, Discord (Or at least a reincarnation of him named Dyx.) takes the place of Nyx and Pinkie Pie is the one who takes care of him.  Let's see if this author can live up to the same expectations of one of, if not the, best pony fics ever made. :)

If you don't like the show, fine. But going onto a thread about the show and directly attacking the people there is not appropriate.

Speaking of GySgt Hartman and his actor, my friend once joked that if R. Lee Ermey were a pony, his cutie mark would be a a bunch of asterisks.

My opinion of a ponified R. Lee Ermey's cutie mark:

I just thought of something interesting. :lol  Due to the massive popularity of this new MLP show, and based on the large amount of fanwork that I've stumbled across so far, I think there should be a new internet rule: "If it exists, it will be ponyfied or crossed-over with My Little Pony." I can't give it a number, since I don't know how many of these internet rules there are, but hey, at least it's better than rule 34. (Then again, anything is better than that. :x )

Have any of y'all heard about the "Ponies in Vehicles" meme?

Basically, it's exactly what it sounds like, ponies in vehicles.

My favorite has to be the Flash animation called "Rarity Won the Lottery". There, she drives an Aston Martin and Spike in a badass leather jacket and sunglasses appears riding on an awesome racing motorcycle alongside her. All while a smooth but energetic electronica piece plays.

Another awesome Flash has Twilight driving down the road in what appears to be a Lamborghini. All set to a sizzling techno piece called Yellow Line.

----------

And I want to get in on the craze using my preferred media: words!

So what shall I pick?

1.) Cyberpunk inspired one-shot about Scootaloo doing underground racing in a Kinetica style suit.

2.) Ponies doing F-Zero style racing.

3.) Cyberpunk inspired "combat racing" using landspeeders or Kinetica inspired suits.

-------------

On a side note since bullets and tanks are mentioned in the show and Equestria is actually fairly modern, does that mean mechanized warfare exists there? If so, who would they be fighting against?

I don't see why Danial Ingram can't do this; I mean he's a professional composer with way more resources at his disposal.

And have a listen to Psychgoth/Bagpipe Brony's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/psychgoth (http://www.youtube.com/user/psychgoth).

His best works are the military-esque marches and high test hybrid orchestral rock pieces that are inspired by Preliator by Globus.

I know I'm not supposed to post here, but I have question that can't be answered anywhere else:

I've heard that the season2 episodes have not been accepted by most of the fanbase and that Season 2 has been considered a shark jumper. And that the criticisms have reached the creators' ears and the relationship between audience and creator is becoming strained because of it. Is this true?

In other news, The Hub's "Naughty or Nice" Tournament is now into it's second round, and both Pinkie Pie and Discord have advanced to remain in the running in their respective fields. Gotta say, I was pretty surprised that Discord pulled it off against the Joker (the one voiced by Mark Hamill).

I personally think the show has gone downhill a lot since season 1.  It just doesn't have that same feeling to it.  Thankfully it doesn't bother me that much because I think what makes a show good is the characters rather than the stories.  I'll likely continue to watch the show.  I'm very glad there haven't been too many songs this season.

I'm not being a jerk here. I just find the statement "I'm glad there hasn't been much singing in MLP S2" odd coming from a Land Before Time fan.

Ditto. To me, the songs are really what makes the show. One would honestly be very hard pressed to find a show on nowadays that has musical numbersof this scope and quality...In fact, this side of 2000, the only show I can think of with songs as catchy and good as these, is Phineas and Ferb. The songs in FiM just add so much more to it. Granted, some of Pinkie's little 1-minute wonders can be a tad annoying, but when you look at the big songs, they are spectacular!

Winter Wrap-Up- showstopper with impressive dual-harmony vocals and a very intriguing opening. Not to mention a melody that is impossible to get out of your head.

Art of the Dress- Like something straight out of a movie musical. Also, reprises make anything awesome.

At The Gala- 20 person choir. Into The Woods parody. That is all.

Find A Pet- IMO, the most impressive song so far. Not only does it take such a mundane task as choosing a pet and made it into a full-blown orchestral song, but the song itself, rather than being a showstopper that makes the story pause while it goes on, actually progresses the story itself. In that sense, it's almost like a bit out of a theatrical musical or even an opera!

Also, the songs serve as a very good way to see the difference from e other previous shows and movis, wherein the songs usualy ranged from annoying but catchy, to uninspiring and forgettable, to bland and trite, to just plain stupid.


And yes, I have to agree that neither season 1 or 2 is better to me, at least storywise. However, animation wise, S2 is an improvement: The studios had all of season 1 to experiment with the animation style, but were still a little tight about it all. S2's animation is much more loose and free, and much more cartoony. That makes it, to me at least, much better.

The problem, WR, is that many of the fans have been setting their expectations WAY too high.  It's a good show still, it's just that fans have been setting the bar too high.  On top of that, some fans just outright curse the show whenever it doesn't go how they want it to go.  Do you know how many bashed the last episode just because Mare Do Well wasn't who they thought she was?  The comments on EqD were just downright ridiculous. (In fact, the creator of EqD had to step in and talk them down just to stop the madness.) If this is the community that has been built, then it's giving me second thoughts about interacting with the fans outside of this thread.  It really doesn't paint a pretty picture for me.

The problem is not the show.  The problem is that the majority of brony fans need to, as The GameOverthinker would put it, GROW THE F*** UP!!  Seriously, if you look at the comments, you'd see that they are acting worse than babies and not the so called "adults" they claim to be.

In the end, it just baffles me how this is meant to be a show about friendship and it has brought out the worst in some people.  It makes me more embarrassed than ever to be a fan of this show. -_-

Well, here's my thoughts on the new episode (Spoilers ahead!): Not necessarily a review, just thoughts:

Nice to see Canterlot as a city being fleshed out, rather than just being a hugeass castle.

The accents and dialects of those Canterlot ponies were just ridiculous. I struggled to not laugh every time one of them spoke.

Another song! Extremely short, but very cool, to be honest. A nice change from the usual musical fare, wherein it is usually ridiculously epic and grand, or kinda humble and quirky. A pleasant inbetween.

Did anyone notice that it seemed like Luna was the commentator for the Derby?

FancyPants = Ponified Good-Guy Greg, definitely soon to become a fan favourite. His voice actor sounds soooo familiar...also, I'm a bit intrigued by his his arm (foreleg?) candy in his intro scene. Yet another unique character design, almost like pink-haired Celestia with no wings.

Some of the new gadgets! Steampunk airships are now canon it appears, and I freaking want that Party Cannon.

All in all, another solid episode. Thus far, this season has failed to dissapoint, with a few minor exceptions (For me, Cutie Pox just seemed like a bit of a weak episode)

I enjoyed a lot of the episode.  

It seem some folks forget it's just a show.  They should remember that line from a show called Mystery Science Theater 3000.  

It does seem there is some steam tech, or magical steam tech or a mix of the 2.

Can we all just do one little thing and STOP giving that troll attention?  After all, it's all they want, we have no reason to give it to them. :)

In pony related material, what do you all think of a Sweetie Belle and Pip Shipping story? :) (I'm thinking of making one.)

I can sorta see that happening, to be honest. Just be sure to be careful about foalshipping. I've seen it done well before (Snails and Twist was the pairing in question. The adorkability meter exploded), but also really REALLY badly.

Well, for one thing, Winter Wrap Up was more of an end-of-winter song. It'll be awesome to hear some winter-themed music. I was actually just thinking a while back that the show was in dire need for xmas/winter music.


Actually, come to think of it, is there anything that says with absolution that this song is in the Hearth's Warming Eve episode?

pokeplayer984: I'm in full agreement!

To start things off, this scene from "May the Best Pet Win!" is pretty symbolic to a Brony trying to get someone who either hasn't seen FiM or isn't a fan of MLP into watching the show itself. Oh, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are my top two favs.

They actually put it on their site!

Yep, the guy's made a hard copy of Past Sins for ~ $50. And he appears to be either selling them or telling people how to print their own copy.

Like I previously said, I don't know how long Hasbro's going to look the other way so if you want it, you should probably hurry.

On a side note, the cover and print are absolutely gorgeous. It evokes the binding of my Edgar Allen Poe anthology. It's much nicer looking than the first hard copy I saw.

I gotta say, I've caught up with all of the season 2 episodes and so far, my absolute favorite is secret of excess! But at the same time I can't give away my overall opinion of the season until I've seen them all. The two-parter in this season is far more entertaining than the first two-part episodes as I found it to be a bit cheesy and fluffy.

I got another Rarity episode as wished.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 10, 2011, 09:55:06 PM
To be honest, I find the main gimmick of Season 2, Episode 10 hard to accept.  Basically, the more greedy Spike got the bigger and more ferocious he got.  Seriously, it just doesn't make much sense to me, even with it being a different world and all that.

Anyways, it was a good episode.  Definitely an enjoyable one to watch.  I am also actually buying the whole Spike and Rarity thing now.  At first, it seemed that they really didn't want to do anything with it and just establish that Spike has a crush on Rarity, but with this episode, they definitely made it mature a little.  Rarity is actually showing affection for Spike now.  He is actually receiving her love and it could really develop into something.

Yeah, yeah!  The whole "they're different species" argument and all that, but really, I don't care.  There's something here and I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Oh, and to the writers of this show, thank you for bringing back the kissing.  It's been missing from kid's shows that originated in America for FAR too long.  It's great to see you're willing to take chances like that.  Thank you so much!

Anyways, yeah!  Enjoyed it and I'll see ya later! :)

Just send an email with a link to your work to the following address and hope for the best.

Submit@equestriadaily.com

Remember to include information about what the video at hand is.  On top of that, remember that they will review your work and see if it's good enough.  I really can't give any guidelines except to hope for the best.

I, in particular, had to rework the original of mine before it could be accepted by them.  I was lucky to get the 5,000+ views that I did and to get as much praise that I did.

Not to mention, if you do get accepted, you will likely have competition in getting your work noticed.  You'll be lucky to get the views that you do get.  Not to mention that you MUST be willing to accept criticism for your work.  Not everyone is going to like it and some will make suggestions to help you improve your work.  A number of them can take things rather seriously.  Just a heads up on that one.

Anyways, best of luck to you at whatever it is you decide to send them. :)

I do wonder what this new pony's relationship will be with Celstia and Luna, a sister, or something else, and why she wasn't mentioned before now.

***SPOILER POST***

So, here I am to give you the latest updates on the episode as they come!

The entire episode takes place in Canterlot, and it does seem to be reminiscent of Christmas in terms of decorations, but according to what I'm seeing with the play so far, as predicted, it has nothing to do with it.

Oh, and Rainbow Dash is Commander Hurricane!!  Sounds like a great superhero name if you ask me. :)

EDIT: Pinkie is breaking the 4th wall again! (Yeah, big surprise, huh?) Also, it's official, Equestria is a part of Earth.  Possibly future earth?

More to come!

EDIT 2: We have an official Equestrian Anthem now!  It was near the end of the episode.  So yes, there was a song. :)

I shall post that MUCH later today on Dailymotion.  For now, review time!
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 17, 2011, 11:53:26 AM
***REVIEW POST***

So, what does the play tell us that ended up founding Equestria?  Friendship!  Though with a show that pretty much revolved around that, what did you expect? :P: In fact, if it wasn't for their power of friendship, the entire earth would've suffered another Ice Age due to their hatred fueling some winter spirits.  So yeah, we have a bunch of ponies to thank for saving the earth!  Wow!

Yeah, being a guy and all, not too sure how to feel about that one.

There's not much to say about it all.  Even when she's acting, Pinkie Pie is still Pinkie Pie.  Rarity let the whole royalty thing go to her head during the play. (Then again, it was probably just the character she was playing as.  Yeah, I'll go with that instead.) Fluttershy got stage fright, as expected.  And Commander Hurricane, could you be even more egotistic?

Not a great episode, but a good one for what it's worth.  Best to go in not expecting much.  You'll enjoy it more that way. :)

My next post shall be the YouTube Episode post.

See ya later! :)

Who spotted Derpy in the episode?
Gotta say her appearance this episode was easier to spot than others. And speaking of which, according to The Hub's facebook page, Derpy is now officially her canon name!

As for my thoughts on this episode, it was nice to see some backstory, even though it was honestly rather predictable. Pinkie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash were totally overplayed and a little flanderised in this episode, but the way I see it, this is because they were playing other characters who were just similar to themselves.
And while the whole story of the play was kinda cheesy, as well as much of the dialogue, once again I feel we can hoof-wave this because it was all a pageant play.
I also thought that the designs and ideas behind the Windigos was pretty cool. Not to mention they are one of the few monsters on the show that have been given a completely non-goofy appearance. Think about it, the cockatrice, the hydra, the ursa, the red dragon, Discord, they all were evil, but kinda goofy at the same time. The only truly monstrous monster in the show prior to this episode was the green dragon (Reginald, I think his name is). Those Windigos looked awesome, had a terrifying sound, and were generally a clever idea.
I also did like how they were defeated by the so-called Fire of Friendship. I was glad that there was more love-influenced magic in the show apart from just the Elements of Harmony.
 
My only real complaint about this episode was the song, for 2 reasons:

1. It was far too short. It was barely 30 seconds! Pinkie Pie can get away with such spontaneity, but a hugeass crowd song like this should at least have 2 verses and a chorus!

2. The singing voices: Apart from their lips moving, there was no indication that the mane 6 were actually singing. Among the choir of voices, there was no sign of their singing voices.

But for such a short song, it was really charming and a nice way to round off the episode. All in all, while the story and dialogue maynot have always been perfect, the humour made up for it, and I finished it with a warm feeling inside me. I always love holiday specials.

It also helped that I watched it with about a dozen other bronies and pegasistas.

If anyone missed her in this episode, they either...

a) completely missed that part of the episode.

b) had their eyes closed during it.

c) are completely blind.

Seriously, this one was impossible to miss if you watched it all. :)

While this wasn't my favorite episode of Season 2 (That currently goes to "Secret of my Excess" and "May the Best Pet Win"), it was still funny; Pinkie Pie was my favorite in this one. She had a lot of good lines.

So, the moral in this episode is that the second everyone argues and is not friendly with each other... we enter the second Ice Age. Interesting. XD

True to the classic "Eldritch Abomination": They cannot be defeated outright. They can only be pushed back once more.

Although the way I look at it, it's not that they weren't completely defeated. From what I saw, at least 2 of the Windigos were destroyed by the Fire of Friendship, sine you clearly see 2 of them writhing and screaming as they are immolated (You know, for kids!). But what about the third one? Well, ther was that screech at the end. My guess is that somewhere in Equestria, the last of the Windigos is still prowling about, waiting to strike and bring about a new ice age.

But what I like about them, like I said earlier, is that unlike almost all the other monsters and villains in the show, they were pure monsters. No goofy part to them, no personality change (No personality at all, if you ask me, just pure monster), no redemption. They are the closest this series has come to a Complete Monster.

Okay, so let's see...  What do we have so far with those mainly focused on this season?

1 - Each of the mane six got a fair amount of spotlight time.

2 - Mostly Twilight, but the rest of the mane six got a good amount of spotlight time.

3 - Twilight

4 - Luna

5 - Sweetie Belle

6 - Applebloom

7 - Rainbow Dash

8 - Rainbow Dash

9 - Rarity

10 - Spike

11 - All of the mane got a fair amount of spotlight.  Not one is the central character.

12 - Rumored to be Granny Smith, but we'll see.  Will air Jan 7.

So, who do you think is next on the list?

As for myself, I'm predicting Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy, but I'd be fine if Applejack got the next one.

Or we could get a Scootaloo Episode finally.  I wonder how much backlash that would get once EVERYONE's predictions are dead.

Meh!  We'll see.

That's my prediction thus far.

See ya later! :)

And...by golly, he's right!

We should have acted.

He's already here.

The Windigoes told of his return.

Their defeat was merely a delay,

'Til the time after the land was settled,

When the ponies of Equestria would spill their own blood.

But nopony wanted to believe,

Believe he even existed.

And when the truth finally dawned,

It dawns in chaos!

But, there are two he fears,

In their eyes, they are the gods:

ALICORNS!

How do you even know if Applejack will rarely be in it? The description says that she disappears, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she'll be almost non-existent.

Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 27, 2011, 05:40:07 PM
In order for a character to disappear, they have to disappear. At best, we'll get stock footage of her from old episodes, but probably not anything new. Heaven knows she's not important enough to be the emotional focus anymore.

Congrats, people who said that AJ is 'just kinda there'. You won.

You want to know what is even more EPIC

How about an hour long presentation giving the history of MLP from Gen 1 to Gen 4 and including the necessary facts needed to understand the show and community, as well as interesting side facts that you may or may not know. All topped off with a colorful choice of background music. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UE7I_IDX98g)

It's a PERFECT introduction to anyone who wants to be part of the fanbase. I really suggest you give it a watch. I know I did, and I shall never regret it.

At least we can still enjoy the episodes at HUB World.  All of which are put up legally by the creators themselves.

However, looks like the days of watching it on YouTube are coming to an end. -_-

I bet you that people will STILL upload the latest episode onto YouTube, despite this.  After all, setting up the block for the latest episode of any show takes time.

It just won't stay up for long. (A few weeks if we're lucky.) That is all.

EDIT: Besides that, there's more than YouTube that has the episodes.  I hear there's also episodes of it on Dailymotion.

Okay, so tomorrow is the return of new episodes.  Now, despite the fact that Hasbro has all but confirmed that they are the ones behind the takedowns of the Episodes, I am STILL going to do things the way I always do them.  Which is as follows...

SPOILER POST
QUICK REVIEW POST
ONLINE EPISODE POST

Whether or not EqD will continue putting up the YouTube link is anyone's guess.  I'm not sure if they will be intimidated enough by Hasbro to all but stop with putting up a link to watch it on YouTube.

However, I can guarantee that someone will put it online somewhere.  These days, you pretty much can't stop anything from being put online.  It's better to embrace such inevitability, but many companies have yet to learn that.

So yeah, things will still go the same in general, but whether or not it will continue being YouTube with the "ONLINE EPISODE POST" is anyone's guess.

Fallout: Equestria  Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCsfgkAzG4M): The opening monologue narrated by a monotone female Russian voice with slow, slightly creepy ambient music playing in the background makes it awesome. Russian seems to be perfect for post-apocalyptic narration.


Fallout: Equestria trailer (English) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptA1Mcp9FL8): Same as above but with a slow monotone male voice narrating it. Still has that same, slow, creepy ambient music.

Okay, I have an announcement before we begin.  Here's some upcoming episode info straight from EqD.

Quote
Season 2 Episode 16: Read It and Weep
Summary: Rainbow Dash secretly discovers the joys of reading when she's laid up in the hospital.
Air Date: February 4, 2012

Rainbow Dash in the hospital.  How many fanfics have I seen that in?  Most likely pure coincidence here.  Should be a good one.

Anyways, on to waiting for the new episode to air!

See ya later! :)

EDIT: Oh, and it appears they are doing a Valentine's Day Episode on Feb 11th.  However, all I have outside the air date is the title, which is "Hearts and Hooves".

I'll keep an eye out for the summary!

See ya later! :)

SPOILER POST

Granny Smith is embarrassing Applebloom.

Official name for Diamond Tiara's father: Filthy Rich

edits from here!

EDIT: New Fruit addition: Zap Apples!  Rainbow colored apples that come from Zap Apple Trees that are magical.

Oh, and the CMCs do all they can to prevent Granny Smith from showing up in class for Family Appreciation Day.  All tasks fail!

EDIT: Granny Smith tells the legend of the Zap Apples.  Turns out, they helped found Ponyville!  Yes, Granny Smith is a part of the family that founded Ponyville.

Oh, and be ready at the end for some Diamond Tiara embarrassment. :D

On to the review!!

REVIEW POST

Not much can be said about how I feel for this episode.  It is enjoyable, but you feel sorry for Applebloom for about half the episode and how embarrassed she gets.  Sad part of it all is that it wouldn't have happened if Diamond Tiara didn't encourage such embarrassment.  So yeah, the embarrassment isn't all that natural.

Best part is the story in the third act.  How Ponyville came to be is just epic!

Now, to await the online link! :)

Post by: Spartanguy88 on January 08, 2012, 01:23:37 AM
I gotta say, this episode was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. And for several good reasons:

1. Major historical development. (Ponyville and the Apple Family)

2. Seeing the Cutie Mark Crusaders make numerous attempts at something that did not involve getting a Cutie Mark for a change. (Using Granny Smith as a puppet was my favorite; it oddly reminded me of "Weekend at Bernies" XD)

3. Telegram Scootaloo is best pony. (See? She CAN be more than a chicken. XP)

4. I wish Zap Apples were real.

5. Further fueled my raging hatred for Diamand Tiarra. (Though Silver Spoon may have a small chance at redemption for being the first to clap after Granny Smith's story)

All in all, great episode.

As for the Episode 12 - Family Appreciation Day...
It didn't quite get my interest, after all, it was just centered onto Granny Smith and Applebloom, the others didn't show up so it didn't reach my peak of interest. But still it was a good episode.

By the way, did Derpy show up in that episode? Someone tell me where did she show up. :smile

Post by: Allicloud on January 08, 2012, 08:20:45 AM
My concensus on the episode?

I thought it was pretty good. Though the Apple family aren't exactly my favourite characters, it was nice to see some more development their way. Not to mention, giving us one of the coolest shots of Big macintosh ever:

(http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-quite-shocking-news.jpg)

Though I have to admit, I think they did Granny Smith's embarassing behaviour a little too well. Watching her throughout the first half was downright cringeworthy. Still, it made up for it in the last third, with the awesome story about Ponyville's founding. Was there anybody else who just loved the music at the very end of te story? Real epic stuff. I hope somebody isolates that music for us to enjoy sometime.

So in conclusion, awkward fist half, but a great payoff at the end. And yes, Granny Smith was hilarious.

After carefully analyzing the episode, I have found that no, she did not appear in the episode.  Also, anyone claiming that she did appear, I have concluded to either be in the intro song, (Which doesn't count!) or for it to be a simple misidentification.

Also, a couple of other tidbits that popped up.

1. Apparently, Bonbon can time travel. (She was in the sepia tone flashback.)

2. Lyra isn't the only pony that sits awkwardly for her species.  Apparently, Sweetie Belle knows how to sit like that too.

And finally...

An e-mail from Hasbro to EqD on matters regarding episode releasing.

Quote
Dear [REDACTED],



Thanks for your email and your interest in My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. We understand your frustration but the reason Hasbro can’t make the new episodes available outside of the US on YouTube/iTunes/DVDs etc. is that it would infringe on the deals made with TV networks outside of the US. A TV network would be very upset and could in some cases have a suit against Hasbro if an episode were viewed in their market for free or even via a DVD before it aired on their network. And some TV network deals also include a certain "holdback" time period on when an episode airs on their network vs. how long it would be OK for it to be aired/available elsewhere.



Unfortunately this also means, that for the time being you need to be patient. At the moment we don’t have any deals in place with Finnish broadcasters but we are working on it. But fingers crossed that we at some point will be able to offer episodes both localized and original on iTunes in Europe as well, since we would love to be able to provide this opportunity to all of our fans.



I do hope you will continue to support My Little Pony.

(Insert MLP:Fim picture here)

Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,

[REDACTED] | Nordic Senior Brand Manager - Games & My Little Pony

Which explains why the episodes on the HUB are Region Locked.  It has to do with the TV Stations.  They have yet to air the episodes there, and things could get ugly if they are given out too soon.

Yet, thanks to the internet, the old ways just don't work anymore and things need to change.  It's just for the better.

I really enjoyed this episode. It had plenty of laughs and cute moments, not to mention that we do indeed now know what a new-born pony looks like. I'm also glad that they didn't make it "Stare Master" and replace Fluttershy with Pinkie Pie; this babysitting episode had a very different vibe to it than the first one, and I liked that a lot.

Now for the funny pic I found:

Is it just me or do those two babies have abilities that are terrifying to a normal parent?  Having a baby that can go through walls and pick things up and move them via magic opens doors to so many catastrophies beyond what a normal baby might be like.

Oh and being born an Earth Pony must really suck!  You totally get ripped off by birth.  Or worse, being the only Earth Pony out of a bunch of Unicorn and Pegasus Siblings... ugh.

It wasn't my favorite episode, but certainly not a bad one.  But I REALLY disliked Pinkie crying.  I mean, come on!  The mane 6 are supposed to be adults.  PLEASE don't mark this as where the series starts going downhill.

Pinkie MAY be an adult, but she still has a very child-like demeanor to her. She over reacts to everything. Also, how could a crying pony mark the downfall of MLP?

Funny and good episode, and I can't believe some things... using magic can let yourself fly, using magic can let you pass through walls, and those were just done by a baby unicorn!

Twilight Sparkle...
Y U NO LEARN THOSE?

I thought you were a pony with special abilities... :p

Oh and that part where Pinkie Pie was like.... OINK OINK OINK  :lol  :lol  :lol really made me laugh and I was like "Oh no.... this will turn into a remix soon" :lol


EDIT: NVM... there IS already a remix of it :lol  :lol  :lol

Well it wasn't a bad episode but I don't plan to watch it again anytime soon. It did have some pretty good moments though, like:

Pinkie dumping flour all over her. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thought of Surprise when she did that.

The rubber chicken Pumpkin Cake was sucking on. Dragonshy anyone
 :lol:    ?

Diapered Pinkie Pie. Glad Fluttershy wasn't there.

Pony genetics sound pretty interesting although they don't make much sense.

The horror movie bit near the end was really funny and quite clever.

One thing I really didn't like was the design for the twins. Now I don't think they looked as bad as the baby in Mare Do Well but they still weren't too appealing to look at.

Going back to the pony genetics, like I said, it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. While I suppose I can (somewhat) see how Mr. Cake could produce a unicorn which I guess could be a dormant gene if we assume that his parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and so on leading up to the unicorn great (insert number of greats here) grandfather were earth ponies, I don't see how Mrs. Cake could have a pegasus. How does her having a great aunt second cousin twice removed (Wut) make it possible for her to give birth to a unicorn? Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

I imagine unicorns and pegasi as genetics. One gene is dominant and the other recessive, but in this case, there are three genes.

As someone who is SERIOUSLY into biology, I can say that they did their research.

One issue, the correct term would be "races", "breeds" or "strains" as I assume that all three of the ponies can naturally mate with each other and produce fertile offspring.

To be honest, I was expecting a "Secret Admirer" Episode of sorts for that one.  Those are always fun for Valentine's Day Episodes. :)

However, I see it working out just about as well as matchmaking did for the Powerpuff Girls.  So I'd say those fans can find their shipping still being safe in the end.

I'll keep an eye on this one.  See ya later! :)

Big Mac and Cheerilee?! That's gonna put a damper on the Fluttermac fans...and I kinda felt in sliding in that direction myself...

Oh, but the Doctor Whooves and Derpy...that is one of the reasons why I don't like Twilight being his companion. That and Twilight already has her story and she has Equestria to keep up with (so long as there are no Daleks, Cyberponies, etc. etc. etc). And Derpy is just a "different direction" in the range of companions, somewhere around the Donna angle (Donnaaaaa <3)

Well I've never been one for FlutterMac and the FlutterMac fans can be a little annoying at times.  I think it's a good move on the part of the creators.  I don't think it would be a great idea to pair up any of the mane 6 as that would require significant screen time for their "partner" (which wouldn't be a big deal if it was another one of the mane 6 and might get interesting, but I doubt Hasbro is ready to include a lesbian couple).  Still, I suppose one of the mane 6 could get into a relationship and they can play it as a long-distance sort of thing so the character doesn't have to be in every single subsequent episode.  But nah.  Now that I think about it, Big Mac and Cheerile is about the only reasonable couple I can think of other than Big Mac and random background pony.  At least when it comes to involving on screen characters.

Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on January 20, 2012, 02:37:36 AM
My opinion is that to be a complete fan of something, you have to understand its history. How many people here think the characters in Friendship is Magic are original? A lot of the characters from that were either inspired or copied from previous generations. Check this out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_rIAkb_v8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP_rIAkb_v8) Can anyone guess which character inspired Rainbow Dash from FiM? Anyone see a couple of “FiM” characters in that? I grew up watching the first generations, and they were very different from what we have now, but if not for them, we wouldn’t have FiM, so I feel a lot of appreciation is due to where various parts of it began. Now then, aside from the inspiration for Rainbow Dash’s personality, did you know she appeared literally in G3? Or that Scootaloo, Sweetie Bell, and more as well did? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo13WMTQJ84 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo13WMTQJ84) G2 didn’t have anything taken for FiM that I know of, or maybe for a stretch, Mrs. Faust took the lessons learned from it and made the education more literal.  G2 was all about lessons too, and they often ended the episodes with what they learned, though it wasn’t quite as “thrown.” It had things like, “I know now I shouldn’t assume things about my friends,” or, “I know gossiping is always wrong now.” Whereas in FiM, “The lesson I learned today is…” My favorite is G2, because it reflects real life, using only earth ponies thrust in situations humans often were in, like breaking something and having to pay for it and dating. Loving FiM is wonderful, but I wish more people would look to the root, or shall I say, heart of the show. I know I’m just older so had the older generations when I grew up whereas a lot of you didn’t, but still, access to the history of MLP is fairly common to find. I’ve been a MLP fan for many years before FiM came out, and I just wanted to share a little history.

To Friendly Sharptooth: Actually, the "Tales" series with only Earth ponies is part of Generation 1. Generation 2 never had an animated series, only a video game.

I have mixed feelings towards Tales, because I can see ordinary earth ponies anywhere that has ponies in real life. Unicorns and Pegasi are creatures of classic mythology, a subject I am all tooo fascinated with.
I know FiM took alot from previous generations, but that does not change my mind about it being the best of them all. Previous gens certainly have elements about them that I like, but overall, I find FiM to be the best, by far.

Here we go!  Starting with Applejack training for an upcoming rodeo competition.

And she does it all WITHOUT A HAT!!

Edits from here!

EDIT 1: OMG!!  Derpy talks in this episode!!  Also, she's apparently accident prone.  Don't ask her to help, she'll only ruin everything!

Also, it turns out after Applejack left, she chose to not come back.  WHY!!!??? We must find out!!

EDIT 2: Still don't know why she left, but I'm sure they'll say when the time comes.

Also, one of the best I Love Lucy Parodies EVER!!

EDIT 3: Advice to everyone, NEVER break a Pinkie Promise.  Or Pinkie will hunt you down!

Finally, it was all because she didn't win the prize money and couldn't face Ponyville because she promised to win it.  She worked at a cherry orchard to try to earn money.

Anyways, on to the review.

REVIEW POST!!

Okay, must admit, a really good episode.  Not as good as some of the best, but definitely up there.

To be honest, I think there were a number of things put in that the writers had just a lot of fun with.  Derpy's Accident Prone Antics are just the tip of the iceberg of the craziness that ensues in this episode.

I'm sure there will be quite a few videos from this just because of all the writers came up with.  So many scenes just deserve their own separate video on YouTube.

In all, a good episode and well worth watching.  Expect the YouTube link soon. :)

About frikkin time. Seriously, each character should have had an episode immediatley following the Discord arc. Ep. 3-8 should have focused on a different pony.

That would have been a good idea.   With 26 episodes they can do that twice and have enough left over for other stuff.

I think breaking a Pinkie Promise will result in Pinkie raging on par, if not more, than Fluttershy when she's mad.

Episode Title: A Friend in Deed
Air Date: February 18, 2012
Summary: Pinkie Pie tries to turn Cranky Doodle Donkey, the only creature to refuse her friendship.

Not an episode I am waiting most for.


Quote
Okay, must admit, a really good episode. Not as good as some of the best, but definitely up there.

To be honest, I think there were a number of things put in that the writers had just a lot of fun with. Derpy's Accident Prone Antics are just the tip of the iceberg of the craziness that ensues in this episode.

I think it was the best FiM episode ever.

But I did not care about Derpy.

Apparently, following yesterday's episode, several fans aspired to bring Pinkie Pie's latest culinary vision to life. Within 18 hours of the episode airing, enough people had made their own cherrychangas (or chimicherries, or chimicherrychangas :p) and posted them online that
Equestria Daily made a compilation post (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/chimicherrychonga-compilation.html) of chimicherry/cherrychanga/chimicherrychanga photos/recipes. :blink:

Pinkie would be proud.

I hope the creator of the chimicherrychanga in that photo shares the recipe sometime; it looks delicious. :wow I think I might take a crack at making one of these things myself… :p

Well, Italy did it again.  They got a cooler intro for season two.  It sounds like they brought back Cristina D'avena (the same singer who did the LBT italian intro), and they are using clips that I don't recognize.  This may contain possible spoilers, but here's the video, including a download link:

It looks like I was wrong.  After further research, the singer for this season is Susanna Balbarani

And here is the original italian and the translated lyrics:


Italian:

In un mondo splendido,
colorato e magico,
little ponies vivono
in pace e sempre in armonia!

Timidi e simpatici,
burberi e romantici,
sono i caratteri
degli amici che troverai!

Ed ogni giorno crescerai,
quanti problemi risoverai,
insieme agli altri pony, lo sai,
ti divertirai!

Vola e vai, my little pony!
Se nuovi amici vorrai incontrare,
prendi il volo, ascolta il cuore,
e d'ogni avventura potrai affrontare!
Vola e vai, my little pony!
Realizza i tuoi sogni e non ti fermare!

Non ti fermare!
Non ti fermare!
Non ti fermare!

[30'' ca. strumentale/corale] (non ti fermare, non ti fermare, non ti fermare...)

Vola e vai, my little pony!
Se nuovi amici vorrai incontrare,
prendi il volo, ascolta il cuore,
e d'ogni avventura potrai affrontare!
Vola e vai, my little pony!
Realizza i tuoi sogni e non ti fermare!

Non ti fermare!
Non ti fermare!
Non ti fermare!


English (made idiomatically correct to the best of my ability):


In a beautiful, colorful and magical world,
little ponies live in peace and harmony!

Shy and cute, gruff and romantic,
are the characteristics of friends who find it!

And every day you grow up, resolving many problems,
together with the other ponies you know, you'll have fun!

Go and fly, my little pony!
If you want to meet new friends, take flight, listen to your heart, and every adventure will take you up!
Go and fly, my little pony!
Realize your dreams and don't stop!

Don't stop!
Don't stop!
Don't stop!

[Approximately 30 second instrumental / chorus of don't stop, don't stop, don't stop]

Go and fly, my little pony!

Go and fly, my little pony!

News flash.

According to Equestria Daily (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/01/bronycon-turned-upside-down-starts.html#more), Lauren Faust is not the only special guest to come to the next Bronycon.  The newly announced guest is:

DISCORD HIMSELF!

Actually, it's his actor, John De Lancie.  He has been confirmed to attend.


The conference has also been moved.  It is now at the Meadowlands Exhibition Center in Secaucus, New Jersey, due to the amount of pre-registrations.  The originally planned venue couldn't hold that many Bronies.


Is anyone planning to go?

Here we go!

SPOILER POST!

Starts with Rainbow Dash trying to beat Pinkie Pie in line for Cider Season, but she fails due to Pinkie camping out.  Not to mention Pinkie told a few dozen others of the idea.

Well, good luck getting some, RD! :)

Edits to come!

EDIT 1: They run out before RD can get any.  Big squabble later, the FlimFlam Brothers show up with a machine that can make cider MUCH faster than the Apple Family can make it.

The FlimFlam Brothers sing one of the longest advertising songs ever.

From here, it's the Apple Family vs. the FlimFlam Brothers.  With Sweet Apple Acres at stake.

EDIT 2: The Challenge, make the most cider in one hour.  Winner gets the rights to making cider for Ponyville.

The FlimFlam Brothers' machine can make 6 barrels of cider in the same amount of time the Apple Family can make one.  Things are not going well.

EDIT 3: BEST CONTEST EVER!

First, the FlimFlam Brothers are winning.  Then the Apple Family calls in extra help and then they start catching up.  Then, the FlimFlam Brothers remove quality control to catch up.

In the end, the FlimFlam Brothers win due to the amount they made, but no pony wants it because it's filled with crap.  So, in the end, the Apple Family's quality controlled cider wins.

Oh, and keep an eye out near the end for Bonbon's voice.

On to the review!!

I got there first, mate!

Another pretty awesome episode! Looks like it was less of an Applejack episode and more of an Apple Family in general, episode. And I like that, the Apple Family are a great group of characters.
So, the antagonists in this case are the Flim Flam brothers, who are pretty much a parody of every snake-oil salesman ever. Their voices and mannerisms are spot on, and their accompanying song was probably the longest song in the series so far, and definitely a good one!
It's also good to finally see Big Mac getting a line other than eyyup or nnnope, even if t was just "No deal!".
It was heartwarming to see all the mane six working together to try to save the farm, bringing to mind so many classic underdog stories of familes and friends banding together to save part of the community.
As always, animation was great, voices were great (even more background characters get new voices, including BonBon! Seriously, how many voices does that girl have?!), and the moral was nice, though it was an interesting twist that Applejack didn't learn it, as much as she already knew it and simpy relayed it to Celestia.

All in all, a solid episode with a kickass song.

REVIEW POST

Okay, my thoughts?  It was actually quite enjoyable and entertaining.  To be honest, there's not much to say about this episode.  It's just an episode of "machine vs. hard work" plot.  There's not much else to it.

It's the old lesson of, "Sure, you can make a machine to make more than hard work can, but if it's not good quality, nobody wants your crap!"

It's just one of those episodes that show how much hard work can pay off in the end.

Nothing else to say, really.

Now, to await the YouTube link. :)

Does it realy matter who posted a link before who?  Guess I'm not a competitive person since that never makes any sense to me, and I never like competitive stuff. though I know everyone else does.  Like everyone but me preferes cold weather while I prefer it warm.  & everyone but me prefers to play loud music as often as possible.

I look forward to seeing the episode.  Thanks for the links.

Saw the episode and I was pleased with what I saw. I loved that running gag of Rainbow Dash not getting any cider. And good lord, what a long (but admittedly catchy) song.

And I also have to say, Applejack may have delivered the best friendship report yet. Basically she said, "Celestia I just wanted to say... I DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING TODAY! I ALREADY KNEW THAT I COULD COUNT ON MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SUPPORT ME! IN YOUR FACE!" What a pro, trolling Celestia.

PS: So, Doctor Whooves job in Ponyville aside from traveling across the universe is to work with a giant hourglass? Whatever, I just love his tie. XD

Interesting that they didn't limit folks to purchasing only 1 mug each.   When there's not enough for everyone to get one.  

I've read online where some say there are a number of dr whooves around, and they've numbered them.  Like the 3rd, 5th, ect.

Another pretty awesome episode! Looks like it was less of an Applejack episode and more of an Apple Family in general, episode.

I hope for a Applejack episode where she gets a long song.

^Yeah, I kinda had a strong feeling that there would be some who would make incredibly suggestive remarks to certain scenes from that episode. XP

But last night, I met a fellow Brony for the first time! I was at a restaurant with my mother and her friend and I was wearing my Rainbow Dash T-Shirt-

The Shirt I Was Wearing:
(http://www.tshirtvortex.net/wp-content/uploads/brony-shirt-220x225.jpg)

-and the next thing I knew there was some guy with a beard and a leather jacket walking by pointing at my shirt and saying to me, "Dash is the best!" I couldn't hold back the laughs and self cheers. It was purely awesome.

BIG UPDATE!!!
New videos I made during the days when the internet was down.

I made a Resident Evil: Retribution MLP trailer (got a request from one person):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SCYI60kTpY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SCYI60kTpY)

then a MLP fan-made ending... titled "Hikari" (光) in English it means "Light"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjkyMRMTA-I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjkyMRMTA-I)

same video, but no credits... just lyrics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMNjUJnPSXo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMNjUJnPSXo)

the song is Hikari by BREAKERZ.

comparison in the ending? well some scenes are similar so...yeah. here's the original ending (it's from Detective Conan :smile )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-Fc9qrzgjA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-Fc9qrzgjA)

Oh man... I missed out the 15th Episode... I'll go watch it as soon as I finish this darn project.

Yet another reason why I prefer Derpy for the Doctor's companion over any of the Main Six...mostly because they're needed most in Equestria =P .

It's always the least important folks who go on trips with the Doctor.

My guess is that during the last few seconds of this scene (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te8vdwz-sjU&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL) was when Rainbow Dash remembered a certain infamous story involving her and Pinkie Pie. My point is, I LOVED the change in facial expressions.

Blame Yamino for this clustef---. Most of the bronies like the name "Derpy".

----------------

Do people have to get offended about everything!?

Jeez, I didn't think "derp" was meant as an ableist slur. I thought it was a polite way to say "you f---ed up".

Nevertheless, I will still refer to her as Derpy, much like I still refer to my Wii as the "Revolution".

Granted, I don't like her voice that much but only because the voice is too masculine. Still, it works.

I haven’t watched the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episode yet. I don’t really want to. From what everyone is saying, it’s just going to do nothing but trigger rage from me. And I’m already pissed off at what I’ve been told.

So the grey pegasus with lopsided eyes is now offically called “derpy” and has a slurred speech. This is so fucking ablest, I can’t even believe that this is actually on a children’s program. Do you know what this is going to do? It’s going to encourage able bodied children that it’s ok to be ablest and that it’s ok to laugh at other children with disabilities. Don’t we get enough of this shit with bullies endlessly hurting and making fun of children who are queer? This needs to stop. It’s not funny, it’s hurtful. Also, fuck you fandom for encouraging the creators to do this shit.

I’m done with this show. I’m done. Until Lauren Faust and the rest of the creators get rid of this episode, change the pegasus’ name to Ditzy Doo and make a legitimate apology, I’m no longer watching any more of the new episodes. As someone who has Asperger’s Syndrome and has been called “retarded” before, this fucking hurts me.

It’s obvious that the creators don’t care about people with disabilities. They don’t care that children with disabilities have watched this episode and are crushed that one of their favorite shows is now mocking and laughing at them. I really want to make a petition or send letters to the creators but I highly doubt they’ll listen or they’ll just say we’re being too sensitive or some shit.

Actually the fandom wasn't the main pivotal point in this. True, they're the ones that got Derpy up on the screen, but parents who were being 'politically correct' thought that Derpy's voice and demeanor was mocking the mentally disabled. And those who complained were part of the minority as a whole.

Way too much. It's almost bordering on the "Pokemon encourages children to keep demonic animal familiars" or "Harry Potter encourags children to dabble in the occult" overanalysis.

In fact I saw a video a while back that actually predicted that it was only a matter of time before the PC-extremists got their claws on this show (Though his prediction involved peopls accusing cutie marks encouraging children to get buttock-tattoos)

I encourage y'all to go ahed and sign this here petition. It might not help, but it's worth a try. (http://www.change.org/petitions/hasbro-studiosthe-hub-do-not-change-derpys-name#)

I find the whole Derpy debate absolutely ridiculous. To me, the people against Derpy's name rank up there with those women who believe that Santa Claus' catchphrase "Ho Ho Ho" is offensive to them. Puh-lease!

I'm positive that enough people will sign that petition, I however didn't sign it because I'm wary about stuff that requires posting personal information. That's just me.

Quote
From what everyone is saying, it’s just going to do nothing but trigger rage from me. And I’m already pissed off at what I’ve been told

So one small scene is enough to keep you from watching the rest of the episode? One scene that wasn't even really that important to the rest of the story is going to keep you from seeing this episode? Did you ever consider, oh, I dunno, SKIPPING OVER IT?!


Quote
So the grey pegasus with lopsided eyes is now offically called “derpy” and has a slurred speech.

Since her discovery by the fans, she's always been Derpy. Even Lauren Faust has referred to her as Derpy.

Quote
This is so fucking ablest, I can’t even believe that this is actually on a children’s program

Oh my goodness! You mean to tell me that a cartoon meant for kids had a cross eyed character that talked slow?! HOW HORRIBLE! Surely this atrocity has never been witnessed in any kids cartoon ever!

Oh wait http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgbLp9Z3eA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lgbLp9Z3eA)


Quote
Do you know what this is going to do? It’s going to encourage able bodied children that it’s ok to be ablest and that it’s ok to laugh at other children with disabilities

Okay, I'm a little confused here. You say that this is going to encourage ABLE BODIED children to laugh at those with disabilities. Are you talking about children in, say wheelchairs or mentally challenged kids? If it's the latter then you're not using that term correctly.

Quote
Don’t we get enough of this shit with bullies endlessly hurting and making fun of children who are queer?

What does that have to do with anything?



Quote
This needs to stop. It’s not funny, it’s hurtful.

Where were you when Snips and Snails were introduced? You say that the protrayal of Derpy is hurtful but what about Snips and Snails? Don't they have slurred speeches? Aren't they slow?

Quote
Also, fuck you fandom for encouraging the creators to do this shit.

You're absolutely right. Bronies are absolute monsters! How dare we encourage the creators to give us a shoutout! Clearly these grown adults can't think for themselves and do whatever we want them to do. Oh, the humanity!!


Quote
I’m done with this show. I’m done.

Good. No one's gonna miss ya.


Quote
I’m done. Until Lauren Faust and the rest of the creators get rid of this episode, change the pegasus’ name to Ditzy Doo and make a legitimate apology, I’m no longer watching any more of the new episodes.

Lauren Faust and the MLP team don't have to do anything to appease you, you self entitled prick. And again, no one cares if you stop watching the show. Lauren Faust and Hasbro won't be losing any sleep over it.


Quote
As someone who has Asperger’s Syndrome and has been called “retarded” before, this fucking hurts me.

Oh, do not even go there. I have Asperger's too and I've also been called retarded and I love Derpy. I think she's a really cute character and I hope team MLP still keep her around.

Quote
It’s obvious that the creators don’t care about people with disabilities.

Please. That's a lie and you know it. How much you wanna bet that at least one person on team MLP has a disability?


Quote
They don’t care that children with disabilities have watched this episode and are crushed that one of their favorite shows is now mocking and laughing at them.

Or maybe they realize that these disabled children will watch the show, think nothing of what Derpy "represents" or whatever, find Derpy's antics humorous, and just go about their day? Really, I'm starting to think that children nowadays have more sense than people my age or older.


Quote
I really want to make a petition or send letters to the creators but I highly doubt they’ll listen or they’ll just say we’re being too sensitive or some shit.

Take it from somebody who has Asperger's just like you: You ARE being too sensitive. You're throwing a hissy fit and cussing over something that's not even a big deal. This episode wasn't even about Derpy. She was only in like what, maybe three or five scenes?

Now if this episode was about making fun of Derpy and her "disability" or if it had Dash call Derpy a "retard" or something like that, then I might see where you're coming from.

Sorry if what I said offends anyone on here. But I just don't pull my punches with BS like this.

Trolls are supected for the EBay takedowns. But EBay users have also been suspected. Their motive, revenge; because they were not able to sell similar fan items (PokËmon, Final Fantasy, etc.) would getting screwed by the company owning said property, they decided to lash out at the most obvious choice.

A tiny subset believes that some bronies are responsible.

Either way, I think Hasbro might "look the other way" for now just like they did with the hardcover copies of Past Sins, Fallout Equestria and the two pieces of pony fanfic on Lulu.com.

At times, I feel the world needs to just SHUT UP and take a look at it's own stupidity.  The things they are saying about Derpy is quickly becoming one of those moments.  I don't think I need to explain why this is so stupid as many have done it before me.

Anyways, new episode info!  Fluttershy finally gets her moment to shine!

SPOILERS POST!!

Ha!  I was right!  Flying stunt gone wrong!  Yep, that's why RD is in the hospital.  I shall await the angry reactions of the bronies over this.

More to come!

EDIT 1: At least the bronies were right with the whole "Twilight convincing RD that books were cool" deal.  It was also her boredom that got her going.  I suspect several GIFs soon.

Also, the new pony is named Daring Doo!  Hmm, reference to another pony we know? :)

Let's just see how good the story is.

EDIT 2: This is quickly turning into the greatest Indiana Jones reference ever!!

You know what, I'm not even going to spoil the story!  It's too good for it!

However, RD gets out of the hospital too soon and can't finish the story!  What will she do now?

EDIT 3: She tries to steal the book, fails miserably and now has to admit to her friends that she loves reading.  She now borrows the books from Twilight.  Simple as that!

I expect Daring Doo fanfics soon enough!

On to the review!

REVIEW POST

If you say you hate this one, then you obviously have a pet peeve with a certain multi-colored mane pegasus.  One you certainly need to get over to see the awesomeness of it!

Seriously, this is truly one of the best episodes of the series, period!  It is too enjoyable for words.  You seriously have to see this one.

Rainbow Dash was enjoyable in this episode and Daring Doo's story is just awesome!  A simple plot that makes for an excellent episode.

I'm sure the episode will appear on YouTube soon enough.

See ya then!

I LOVED the new episode. I loved the whole story within a story plot theme they had going there. Daring Doo was awesome as well, I too sense many fan fics and fan art based on her very soon. Pinkie Pie referencing Spiderman was hilarious. Overall, one of the best episodes of Season 2.

As for the Derpy thing, those trolls are saying that they're making fun of mentally disabled people. Have they even SEEN Ed, Edd, n' Eddy, Family Guy... or SOUTH PARK?!?!

I hate political correctness. I will forever love Derpy with her original name; just as I will always say "Merry Christmas" and not "Happy Holidays."
-------------------
Equestria Daily recently had a Mock Wars thing going on (as I'm sure most of you may have known). While I can't draw for beans, I am more proficient on writing so here's what my Mock War OC is:

NAME: Red Sky
PONY TYPE: Pegasus
GENDER: Stallion (Male)
COAT COLOR: Maroon
MANE COLOR: Dark Brown
CUTIE MARK: A Band-Aid with Wings

Serving with the 127th Airborne Division, also known as the "Dive Bombers", Red Sky acts as the Combat Medic for his squad. He was chosen for two reasons, his flight speed and his knowledge on medicine. This is also what earned him the nick-name "Hot Potato" by his fellow Pegasai.

FUN FACT: Red Sky serving in the 127th and that he's a Combat Medic together serve as a tribute to my brother; whom is serving in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic and is scheduled (Not sure when excatly) to be deployed to Afghanistan.
---------------------

I'm also currently drafting my first FiM fan fic, a Humor/Romance story with Applejack and Soarin' as the main characters.

I'm also considering writing a crossover story between FiM and the Scott Pilgrim series. Which Ramona takes Scott, Kim, and Stephen to Equestria via Subspace. XD

Well this was a great episode.  My favorite part was at the end when Rainbow Dash laid in bed and said "Awesome!" with her hooves up in the air (there's a GIF of it in a post above this one).  Though when she was bouncing the ball against the wall I literally said "that's so Rainbow Dash." :lol I dunno.  There were quite a few great Rainbow Dash moments in this episode.  It surpassed my expectations.

Even though there is no proof, it is believed that it was dropped due to legal reasons.  After all, when making a show, you want to do everything possible to avoid getting sued. :P:

Yeah it was based off of a Reading Rainbow original title. And it was also a Indiana Jones based episode as well. Two great things combined in one episode. But hey they don't wanna get a lawsuit charge put on them so they had to change the title. But it was still a kick butt episode none the less.

Yes, and I found out what happened here.  Apparently, it's because Apple goofed with the release date.  The release date they put up?  Feb 11, 2011.  Yes, you read that right.  2011.

Before they knew it, someone downloaded it and put it up on YouTube.

Spoil yourself if you like with the link or wait and see it when you are meant to this Saturday.  Your choice.

Thanks for the link. I'll download it so I have it, but I won't watch it till Saturday morning.  Both since that is when it was meant to be aired I assume, and then it'll be that much less time for the next episode.  I can wait a few days longer to watch the episode.

I'm just going to say this.  Since we already know they try to get Big Mac and Cheerilee together with a love potion, the things they say under the spell, make me feel rather uncomfortable.

Oh, and the end is a perfect troll moment.

Good idea and all, but I didn't like certain parts of it.  The episode could use some work.  That's all I'll say.

See ya later!

Yes, and you can expect a ton of gifs to be up by Sunday (or maybe even tommarow).

Personally I thought that the CMCs were pushing a little bit too hard for something they understand so little about.  What would have happened if Big Mac started doing Cherilee right then and there?  :oops

A few months later she's pregnant and the CMCs suddenly realize just how badly they screwed up. :lol

Well, anyway, I loved it. Seriously, though, I think anyone who didn't like this is being too picky. Every time there's a new episode, there's been some complaint about how much it sucks. I frankly don't see how or why you guys are so displeased with the season two episodes.

I can't explain it very well, but the season 2 episodes just don't have the same feeling as the older episodes.  The season 2 episodes feel a lot more rushed and more based on style than substance.  Let me put it this way.  If season 1 had been like season 2 is, I probably wouldn't have gotten into MLP.  I wouldn't have hated the show or anything, but my attitude would have been more like "meh, take it or leave it" rather than "holy freaking shit this is a good show!"

I think what I'm missing most of all is the character development.  We just don't see much of that anymore.  The season 1 episodes seemed to place more importance on the characters and how they felt during different situations, whereas season 2 seems to put more effort into the events that take place rather than the emotions of the characters that are experiencing the events.  

I'm one of those people that really need likable and dynamic characters even more than a good story.  That's what got myself (and a lot of other people) into MLP in the first place.  I mean, let's face it.  The stories aren't exactly great.  They're pretty simple.  What made them more for adults was the fact that they weren't nearly as two dimensional as they seemed at first (just like the characters).  But come on!  Drinking a love potion and trying to keep two crazed ponies apart for an hour has literally ZERO character development.  It's more like an episode of South Park than a serious show.

Okay, I changed my mind and spoiled myself. Couldn't resist myself. XP

Overall an okay episode. Extremely sappy dialogue. Did like Berry Punch having her house become a mobile home.

I give it a 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on February 10, 2012, 01:44:14 AM
Well, I think the show still has dynamic and character development. I'm rewatching an episode right now and I'm not seeing the "rushed" thing, either, but that could just be me. I won't deny Season 2 is different than Season 1 but I don't think the change has really made it any worse.
One thing I will say is that The Land Before Time isn't exactly a great place to look for character development, either, so from that angle I'm still a little confused about your complaint.
As for this being a serious show and not South Park. Since when is FIM a serious show? I mean, it's always been a good show, but this is not a serious show. I don't know where you got the idea it was.

I probably sound like a jerk with a bad case of opinion myopia, but I am just genuinely perplexed.

Well LBT is different.  It's a part of my childhood that I cherish.  If I hadn't liked LBT as a kid I doubt I would have picked it up now.  As for MLP being a serious show, that probably wasn't the best word to describe it.  What I mean was it isn't some shallow show just trying to keep you interested for 20 minutes to make a quick buck like South Park is.  Shows like that are fine, but I prefer shows that actually put some effort into the storyline and characters.  What I think made me fall in love with the show (and I've heard this from a lot of other people as well) is that at first it seemed like some horrible girly cartoon with shallow predictable two-dimensional characters and it turned out to be a show that's deceptively simple, very gender neutral, and has characters that aren't nearly as boring as they appeared to be on the outside.  And it didn't take 25 episodes to realize this either.  In fact, I realized this after about 2 minutes of watching the first episode (at least with Twilight).  I just knew the show was going to be more than it seemed.  And that was a pleasant surprise.  But it seems the very nature of the show is changing.  Things are a lot more rushed and the characters are seeming a lot more cookie-cutter like.  This just isn't the show I fell in love with.  I'll still watch it because ponies are awesome, but it just isn't the same to me anymore.

On another note, the episodes I really liked were the Mysterious Mare Do Well, Secret of My Excess, the Sisterhooves Social, and to a lesser extent Read it and Weep.  All of these shows put at least some emphasis in character development.  My favorite was probably Secret of My Excess.  Was the storyline to die for?  Not even close.  It was simple and predictable.  But at least it emphasized the importance Rarity places on the friendships she has with her friends.  And I loved the end twist of Sisterhooves Social.  I totally didn't expect it to be Rarity in the end.  The two Rainbow Dash centric episodes I mentioned weren't as good with character development, but at least they had something.  None of the other episodes really had anything in the way of character development other than perhaps the Last Rodeo.  But after seeing Derpy talk I pretty much zoned out the rest of the episode and drooled on my keyboard.  I need to watch that one again.

Post by: WeirdRaptor on February 10, 2012, 02:22:33 AM
Okay, I see. Well, I think this show does have effort put into it and it's not just out to make a quick buck. I think the creators are trying new things with it. Oh well, you can't please everyone. But please don't compare FIM to South Park anymore. Even if the character develop has actually grown lax, there's still a far cry of difference between the aims of the two shows.

However, try to remember that you are a lot older tha the intended demographic. It is an above average children's show, but don't forget the "children's show" part of the description.

Post by: Pangaea on February 10, 2012, 08:17:08 AM
Is it too late for the GOF's slowest poster to do share his thoughts about "Read It and Weep"?

I noticed a couple of interesting things early on in the episode. For one, it seemed to me that Rainbow Dash was a lot more upset about being stuck in bed for a few days than she was about not being able to fly for a few weeks. I thought that was a nice surprise; at the risk of overanalyzing, I thought it made Dash seem more down-to-earth as a character (in a literal sense): although flying is obviously very important to her, it's not so fundamental to her being that she's incapable of temporarily living without it. (I dunno if I'm making any sense; I just thought it was interesting.)

Second, it would appear from Dash's x-ray that pegasi have finger-like bones supporting their feathers. :blink: I guess it would explain why Rainbow Dash needed to bandage her wing in "May the Best Pet Win!" when just one of her feathers was pinned underneath a boulder from the avalanche. It makes you think about the anatomy of pegasus wings, though; maybe they're not as similar to bird wings as we assumed…

I'm surprised no one's commented yet on Daring-Do's nemesis, Ahuizotl.* Even though I had been expecting some kind of monster to show up in the story-within-the-episode, I literally went "whoa!" when he appeared onscreen (and then cracked up when he opened his mouth to speak :lol). I would have assumed that he was a completely original creature designed for the episode, but his distinctively Mesoamerican-sounding name threw me for a loop; if he was made-up, then the MLP team must have done some very specific research into creating his name. As it turns out, there's an actual creature in Aztec mythology called the ahuizotlóa doglike animal with the paws of a monkey and a hand on its tailóon which this character is based: :wow
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9py6IgNlFak/TF1PPgvsY5I/AAAAAAAAAjM/GBFas8NBOBg/s1600/Ahuizotl.jpg)(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120205081748/mlp/images/c/c3/Ahuitzotl_over_sun_S2E16.png)
The original ahuizotl differed from the MLP version in being small and aquatic (its name translates to "water dog"), with a penchant for drowning humans and eating their teeth, nails, and eyeballs. :x (The creature's appearance may have been inspired by otters or the yapok, a semiaquatic opossum whose prehensile tail could have been the basis for the tail-hand.) At any rate, this is the first time I've ever heard of this creature appearing in popular culture, and it's surely the most obscure mythological beast to have been used in MLP so far. (In case I haven't mentioned this before, that's one of my favorite things about this show: the fact that it uses such unique and seldom-seen monsters and fantasy critters. :smile)

* I will not be looking at the leaked episode or any of its spoilers until Saturday, so my apologies if someone else has in fact already talked about Ahuizotl; I would have overlooked your post in my efforts to avoid spoilers.

Well, the original poster of the "Hearts and Hooves" episode has removed it.  However, there's still a few that have yet to remove the episode.  So, for those that still wish to be spoiled, here's another link.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDFlb8Uk4wU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDFlb8Uk4wU)

EDIT: Oh, and I just got some more info.  Apparently, the one who put it up on iTunes was brand new to the job and goofed because of the misprint of the date.  So it wasn't entirely their fault.  They were just given the wrong info in terms of release dates.

A small mistake that caused quite a few problems.  It's going to take quite a bit for Apple to clean this up. :)

First the Pinkie Contract and now this.  I think I'd be safer not breaking one.

Oh, and you might've guessed that with the episode leaked like this, I won't be doing my normal routine tomorrow.  Which is good.  Gives me time to work on something I've been meaning to get to in a while.

Ugh, this makes me wish my connection wasn't so darn slow, already missed the last like, 3 episodes as it is because of it and now, this episode sounds really interesting.

I do wonder if in that one, Twilight will go insane again....but worse off than in the episode "Lesson Zero".  I mean, you never know.....

But on another note, in regards to background characters talking, the one background character I want to see return is Vinyl Scratch....at least see her with more than her 3 second appearance on the show....perhaps even getting a voice as well.  Unlikely, but still.....

Filipino Bronies are confirmed... then I found out they have a facebook group, so I rushed there and searched for it... and omg... 400+ MEMBERS. That means there are 400+ Filipino Bronies out here?! Then I managed to join the group, and voila... I'm in their group.

They also have another group........... well.... that is..... filled with NSFW stuff :p but they're also Filipinos. Same members from the main group.

Dang, my life is complete now.........until......i found this in the group in deviantart... (http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2012/034/2/d/ph_ponycon_2012_official_poster_by_pcs4ddt-d4jy67w.jpg)

Recently I just found out in deviantArt a group.... which is.... PH BRONIES!!! OMG IS THIS FOR REAL?! yeah that's my exact reaction when I bumped into that group.... Filipino Bronies are confirmed... then I found out they have a facebook group, so I rushed there and searched for it... and omg... 400+ MEMBERS. That means there are 400+ Filipino Bronies out here?! Then I managed to join the group, and voila... I'm in their group.

They also have another group........... well.... that is..... filled with NSFW stuff :p but they're also Filipinos. Same members from the main group.

Dang, my life is complete now.........until......i found this in the group in deviantart... (http://th06.deviantart.net/fs70/300W/i/2012/034/2/d/ph_ponycon_2012_official_poster_by_pcs4ddt-d4jy67w.jpg)

IS THIS SERIOUS? yeah. No doubt it's real... I wanted to go there but...... problem? I can't just waltz in to my parents and say "Hey! I'm going into a PonyCon in Malate, Manila" the results will be.... unimaginable....  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:

So i'm here... sitting duck...
Looks like i'm not the only Filipino Brony here  :lol

Watch This First (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MDuR3EHa5s)

Then Watch This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdOink3-mBI)

Am I right?

Another new episode has been announced

Straight from EQD:

Episode: Dragon Quest
Air Date:  March 17, 2012)
Synopsis: Spike joins the Great Dragon Migration to discover his true identity, but it might not be what he really needs.

It'll be interesting to find out more about the dragons of equestria (maybe we'll find out why his egg was the entrance exam?).
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 18, 2012, 11:03:18 AM
Here we go!!!

SPOILERS POST!!

We start with Pinkie Pie doing a comedy style work out in front of the Baby Cake Twins.  It fails to make them laugh.  However, the crazyness that happens after sitting on some jacks does the trick.

Edits to come from here.

EDIT 1: We get an extended version of the "Smile" song that was leaked weeks ago.  We get greeted to Cranky Doodle Donkey at the end of the song and Pinkie's "Instant Friend" act fails.  Now, she tries to make Cranky her new friend.

Oh, and on a side note, it's Cheerliee's Birthday! :)

EDIT 2: Apparently, wigs are cannon!  Yep, Cranky has a wig, which Pinkie ruins accidentally.  Also, we get introduced to Pinkie's welcome song and another song I can't quite put my finger on.

She even makes it up to him by getting him a new wig.  During him unpacking though, Pinkie ruins a special book and he declares the NEVER be her friend.

More to come!

EDIT 3: Pinkie goes crazy trying to make Cranky accept her apology.  However, he doesn't want it.  Eventually, she gives up, and makes him reunite with an old friend of his.

Turns out, he was looking for his old friend the whole time and she just happened to be in Ponyville.  The reuniting of a lost love is what it took to finally make him smile.

From there, Cranky accepts Pinkie as his friend and wishes to be left alone with his love.  Pinkie accepts and we get the lesson and a final song.

Review to come!

The song was awesome!  :DD It was that leaked song right? I knew it was a good idea not to listen to it until it comes in one of the episodes.   :D

And also continuity! Baby Cakes and Rainbow Dash reading Daring Do books!  :)

The episode was great! 4th wall breaking at it's finest :lol Definitely one of my favourites.  :lol:

REVIEW POST!!

To be honest, up to this point, I really haven't truly enjoyed the "Pinkie Centric" episodes.  However, this is one I have to make an exception to.

The "Smile Extended Version" song was really enjoyable.  I actually found myself practically orchestrating the entire cast singing it.  I'll welcome all the hype it'll likely get as this one really deserves it.

Not to mention all of the Pinkie Antics, despite being sorry for Cranky, I found rather funny.  Thanks Pinkie, you finally hit the formula that can make me enjoy having you around.

However, I can't seem to pinpoint just who it was that voiced Cranky.  I swear I know that voice from somewhere.  I'll see if I can figure it out.

This is one episode I'll likely watch again, if only for the "Smile" song.

Episode and Song links to come!

Okay everybody, I just found out something I need to discuss.  Turns out that I won't be able to do my expected routine after next week.  Why?  Because on March 3rd, My Little Pony is moving to a new time.  Here's the new time, straight from EqD.

1:00PM (Eastern Standard Time)

So yeah, starting March 3rd, that's when it'll be on.  Unless my work schedules me late enough, chances are I won't be able to do it.

Sorry guys, but next week will be my last week on this. -_-

Derpy had a fan song so I have one for Applejack.

Applejack based upon the song Destiny or Moltiva by Marija.

It's been a long way
I try hard not to fall apart
Every night I pray
And your voice is singing in my heart

I have been waiting
A long time for you to take my hoof
Loving and hating
A desire that I don’t understand

I can't breathe, I can't sleep
Why can't I get through to you?
I can't think, I can't speak
What am I to do?

Applejack
I’ve been looking for something to guide me
Applejack
Even though I’ve tried I can't deny you
If I let you go, I’d betray my soul
I know that this is something more
Even though nothing’s spoken for,
a way that you will feel the same ëbout me
Applejack

(Instrumental)

Read the stars and see my scars
I feel so low when you’re away
So reach out, it’s not far
Listen to me pray

Applejack
I've been looking for something to guide me
Applejack
Even though I tried I can't deny you
If I let you go (let you go)
I betray my soul (my soul)
I know that this is something more
Even though (even though), nothing's spoken for (spoken for)
A way that you will feel the same
'bout mee.. ooohhh

If I let you go (let you go)
I betray my soul (my soul)
I know this is something more
Even though, (even though) nothing spoken for (spoken for)
I pray that you will feel the same 'bout me
Applejack

Faith is within of me
Applejack

I can see why.  From what I've heard, not sure if it's always done like this, but from the few voice actors I've heard or read talk about it, at least sometimes you record the session usually alone and you have only your lines.  So he may not have known the whole story, or not cared thinking it's just some little job.

^Jeeze, this isn't the AM section here.  Maybe it's just our newest youngest member that just signed up, but I find that image kind of inappropriate for this section of the board.  Maybe we should make a new topic in the AM section for more...questionable FiM images (not R34 mind you as that's too much for ANY section of this particular forum in my opinion).

There are a lot of funny FiM images that aren't exactly kid friendly (and I'm not just talking about sexual themed images, but images with adult themes, bad language, and other things that aren't very appropriate for kids).  Maybe we should put those in a separate topic.

Over-reaction from parents complaining.  Happens with every studio that does a show for kids.  I have yet to see one stand up to them and tell them just how crazy and ridiculous they are.

At least it is said to stay unmodified with the DVD version.

I will still see her as the misaligned eyes Derpy I know and love.

Anyways, tomorrow is my last day with Spoiler Posting.  I'll still give Episode Links along with Reviews.  Not much else will change for me. :)

Good job Hasbro. No seriously. Good. Freakin' Job.

This reminds me so much of the whole South Park thing back in 2010. Why do a bunch of whiny morons have to ruin such a good thing? There's always gotta be that ONE person who has to kill everyone's fun.

Y'know, is this really what we as a race are coming to? Being offended by cartoon ponies? What's next? Are we going to become offended by...I don't know milk or something? Are we no longer going to be able to call our pets cats or dogs but "Vertically Challenged Quadrupeds"? Are we going to be able to sue other people for giving their own opinions on something?

OK, those examples are a bit extreme but you get my point. Political correctness is completely ridiculous. When you open your mouth, you run the risk of offending someone. It doesn't matter what you say. With all the horrible things that are out there, all the horrible things you can say to someone, is a cute, innocent cartoon pony really that bad?

I could understand if the characters made fun of Derpy or if Dash called her an idiot or a retard but they didn't. And Derpy's none of those things. I don't necessarily think Derpy's an idiot or anything like that. More of a klutz. That doesn't exactly make her dumb or offensive to those with disabilities. As for her eyes? What's so bad about her being cross eyed? Originally it was an animation error but the creators rolled with it when they saw how much love Derpy was getting. Derpy's crossed eyes are what make her Derpy. They're what make her stand out from all the other background ponies. Without them, she's just another generic background pony.

tl;dr, Political Correctness can go die in a hole and Hasbro are a bunch of cowards.

I keep hearing this excuse that it's a copyright issue that had her removed. I don't buy it. Not for a single second. For one thing, using Derpy doesn't cost a cent since no one owns her.
That little scene was such a great gift to us bronies. To alter it like this is a slap in the face to us. I can't beleve they did this.

1. The Derpy Changing:
While I am upset that Hasbro decided to go down the politically correct path and have our favorite cross-eyed pony changed, I'm not going to throw a huge hissy-fit over it. Yes, I am disappointed but I'm also more mature than that.

2. The New Fluttershy Episode:
Woo! Another Fluttershy episode! But my big question is this: WHEN WILL THERE EVER BE A SCOOTALOO CENTERED EPISODE?!?!

3. Picture!

Ugh, this is EXACTLY what I was talking about. Yes, the Derpy changing is disappointing, but there are perfectly legitimate other topic to go into tirades over. Such as: Politics, Economy, Natural Disasters, etc...

The people making death threats should just chill for a second and realize that ther are far worse things happening in the world right now.

So, with the whole Derpy thing going on, does that mean I should totally give up on FiM? ABSOLUTELY NOT. The show is still fantastic as it is; and I will always refer to Derpy by her name and the state of her eyesight.

Okay, I am in a bit of a dilemma here.

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y0MGtuQESsc/T0ijTiyAwQI/AAAAAAAADYs/digJ9K5c6jo/s320/panel.png)

There is a Brony Convention finally coming near my home town and I really want to go.  Unfortunately I have to work that day and it is too late to ask for the day off. (You have to arrange it at least a month in advance.) So now I have a choice to make.  Either go to work and miss out on a one in a lifetime event, or call in sick and go to this thing.

What would you guys do in this situation?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: landbeforetimelover on February 26, 2012, 01:15:21 PM
^Personally?  I'd call in sick.  But I'm a really good liar.  If you're not then I don't suggest you try pulling it off.

^Personally?  I'd call in sick.  But I'm a really good liar.  If you're not then I don't suggest you try pulling it off.
The system of calling in sick is actually pretty much automated.  You just call a number, push certain buttons for why you are calling in sick and then you are given a number of sorts that you'll likely never give directly to your supervisor.  After that, you are redirected to where the calls are mainly taken and give the reason you are calling in and the number you were given.

After that, you just spend the off day you now have and only worry about putting in sick hours on another day you actually work so you get paid for the sick day.

There's only one main rule to follow: 3 sick days within a 6 month period.  Leave of Absence Conditions do not apply.

Since I only have 1 sick day so far within 6 months and I only call in if I actually am sick, I think they'll let me slide.  I'll just have to come up with a good excuse for calling in.

I think a "bad fever" will do.  I've had one before.  Really sucks! :(

Post by: Animeboye on February 26, 2012, 03:37:43 PM
I think I may know of a way that Hasbro could appease both the Brony community and the soccer moms after this whole Derpy controversy: Have an episode focusing on Derpy and one(or all) of the Mane Six.

Now here's what I was thinking for an episode idea: Rainbow Dash would end up having to work with Derpy. Dash takes Derpy under her wing(no pun intended) and they do things like changing  the weather and such but as they continue working together, Dash finds that Derpy keeps messing things up. After awhile, Dash's patience has grown thin and she yells at Derpy about how she's had enough with her constantly screwing things up. Of course this makes Derpy really upset and she flies off. Realizing just how badly she hurt Derpy, Dash tries to find her and apologize. She eventually finds Derpy, sitting by herself, crying and talking about how she can't do anything right. Dash realizes that despite how things look, Derpy really has been trying her best. She approaches Derpy and apologizes, explaining that what she said was out of line and that she'd be honored to receive Derpy's help. The two of them make up and the episode ends with Dash helping Derpy to clear the clouds. The letter to Celestia would be about how some ponies need a little more help than others and that you need to take your time with them. And even though that pony may mess up sometimes, that doesn't mean that she's not giving it her all. The End.

So what do you guys think? Comments, suggestions, etc. are welcome.

Hmm... Recently I made my first ever flash animation. It's because we have a project in computer to make at least 1 minute frame-by-frame animation. So then, I meddled with Flash and made an animation. Turned out great (I guess)

So, hey, I want your opinion on this, or at least tips or any advice.  :smile

AND YES, that project has ponies. I have the strength to submit it.  :lol  :p
It's funny.  You should post it elsewhere.  maybe that Eqd place Pokeplayer mentioned.

Meh, I don't care for AppleDash very much.  Or any lesbian pairing for that matter.  Though ironically I can see it as a possibility of at least two of the mane 6 getting paired with one another.  But in all honesty I've always thought that opposites attract so I think a more likely pairing would be Applejack/Rarity.

EDIT:
Putting Your Hoof Down Clip! (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/03/putting-your-hoof-down-episode-clip.html#more)


I myself don't have a personal preference for any same-gender pairing in the series. I just figured that it's a funny picture regardless. But if I had to choose one right this second it would have to be Pinkie Pie/Rainbow Dash.

My favorite hetero-pairing on the other hand is Soarin' X Applejack. In my opinion, this has some good starting ground: Soarin' was Applejack's only customer during the Grand Galloping Gala.

Official reason as to why Derpy's name was removed:

derpy = embarrassing, awkward, retarded

Also, turns out originally that they wanted to name her Ditzy. They could at least do that in the future.

If they do rename Derpy to her "other name", then I'll accept that. But once again, I'm not the kind of Brony who is going to throw a big temper tantrum about a fictional character.

Also... HAPPY DERPY DAY!!!!

As for me with pairing up the Mane Six, I have to go with this:

Rarity & Spike
Fluttershy & Big Mac
Twilight & Caramel (Still holding in vain that Caramel will break up with his GF!)
Pinkie Pie & Rainbow Dash
Applejack & ???

Yeah, I sadly don't have one for Applejack.  I really haven't found one that works for me. -_-

Oh, and here's a Trixie vs. Derpy comic. :)

EDIT: I'M BACK AS THE PAGE TOPPER!!!


I enjoyed the new episode. We once again saw Flutterb**** in all her glory. It was also so satisfying to see Angel Bunny be put in his place after being such a spoiled tool to Fluttershy. As a matter of fact, there were a lot of characters in that episode that were jerks to her. Are they really forgetting that she had helped save Equestria TWICE?

Overall, great episode, and next week we see the return of INSANE TWILIGHT!

And for you Derpy fans, here's a little something that should help pacify those that are raging over the big "change" that was very recent.

Just finished watching the new episode. Man I loved it! I loved how Iron Will's voice actor was the same guy who voiced Mr. Satan in DBZ. As soon as I heard his voice, I thought "Wow! Iron Will sure sounds a lot like Mr. Satan".

Seeing Angel get put in his place was one of my favorite parts. Hate that little son of a bitch. The part where Fluttershy insults Pinkie and Rarity was a bit hard to watch though.

All in all, this was one of my favorite episodes of the season. It was well paced, fun, and very enjoyable. I just wonder if we'll continue to see more assertive Fluttershy.

Doctor Whooves: So unassertive, he goes to Iron Will twice!

I'll say I was a bit disappointed...I was expecting a chipper pony with something like an anvil or a hammer for a cutie mark to be helping Fluttershy around in a BIG VOICE to get her to be more assertive.

I had a lot of fun at the convention I went to today.  I'll upload pictures into a special Mediafire Folder soon.  Until then...

I will tell you that we were lucky to get today's episode at the convention.  If we didn't, we would've ended up watching "Luna Eclipsed".  Now, as for my thoughts on today's episode...

I really enjoyed it.  I also loved seeing Angel get put in his place.  It's what spoiled brats like him deserve.

I also found Iron Will to be rather entertaining for the amount of time he was on camera.

However, my absolute favorite part was the old arguing cliche.  Or in other words...

4:05 at this link. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLOajzYMk00)

Seriously, I love that!  It's been too long since I last saw that.

To be honest, it was just a really enjoyable episode.  Not my favorite, but definitely one I'll watch again sometime.

Oh and Spartanguy88, enjoy the page-topper while you can!  You know it won't last. :D

I could say why bit it would be revealing some spoilers maybe.  It's not a bad episode, but not one of my favorites.  Not every episode can be.  

I didn't notice Bonbon had Lyra's bag.  Though I tend to not notice stuff like that.  Maybe her bag was on a line drying, needed to be washes, or she couldn't find it.  I would not be surprised if they did live together, for any number of reasons.  One easy reason is a lot of the living expenses would be cut in half for each of them.

I didn't notice Bonbon had Lyra's bag.  Though I tend to not notice stuff like that.  Maybe her bag was on a line drying, needed to be washes, or she couldn't find it.  I would not be surprised if they did live together, for any number of reasons.  One easy reason is a lot of the living expenses would be cut in half for each of them.
Actually did that so I could use that crying gif  :lol

...uh...

...awkward...

With the guy who voiced Mr. Satan from DBZ voicing Iron Will; I couldn't help but notice that FiM seems to be on a roll with DBZ VAs in the show as well.

*Guy who voiced Piccolo also voiced Flim/Flam. (Couldn't remember which one)
*Guy who voiced Captain Ginyu also voiced Cranky Doodle Donkey.
*And Ian James Corlett (the voice of the Ocean Productions dub of Goku) is the father of Claire Corlett (who is as we know, the voice of Sweetie Belle)

This is such an accurate depiction of my life today.

Makes sense, since the ponies have to do stuff since nature doesn't do it on it's own, that they'd have to do that to get water to make rain clouds or add that water to clouds to make them into rain clouds.  I guess when it's raining it means the peguses are jumping on the clouds, just we can't see them doing that.

I liked this new episode. The Cerberus in Ponyville surprised me. I expect many FiM/Mass Effect parodies of this.

When Spike mentioned that he knew someone who could help Twilight, I immediately hoped for Doctor Whooves... in fact it was rather ironic that he'd be one of the ponies initially laughing at the idea of a future Twilight. *sigh*

I just watched the latest Atop the 4th Wall Episode (http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/at4w/34558-at4w-the-invincible-four-of-kung-fu-and-ninja-1), and the comic being reviewed had a weird dragon hybrid of sorts on the cover.  The comments below revealed this to me...

Dragon + Unicorn = Kirin

So yeah, anyone trying to prove the Spike + Rarity relationship not happening just because you believe they wouldn't be able to have kids, consider yourselves beaten by Chinese Mythology.  This is a mythical land of creatures after all, or did the multiple episodes that have mythical creatures not prove that already?

However, it was already beaten by the fact that you don't need to be able to have kids to have a long-lasting and loving relationship with your partner.  At least this beats the thought all together and not seem like an idea the writers pulled out of nowhere in the first episode.  It now seems like a legitimate possibility to me more than ever before.

Just something I thought you guys might like to know.  That's all.

Actually, from what I heard, the kirin isn't half dragon/half unicorn. It's simply the chinese version of the unicorn or something.

Well, Season 3 is still confirmed to only have 13 episodes. It looks like that will be the end from where I'm standing.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on March 15, 2012, 07:07:20 PM
I'm not too worried yet about season 3 being the end. The show is still going very strong and the love it's been getting doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Also, if I may link to an old article from Equestria Daily http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/seas...919692634079810 (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/season-three-confirmed-for-more-than.html?showComment=1329783392685#c766919692634079810)

Now Jayson says they're still working on season 3. That most likely means they're still working on the later half of the season. As for why they're being so secret about all this, my guess is there's probably going to be a big surprise in season 3. I don't know, that's just my theory.

The 13 episodes may mean that's all they've finished.  From what I've heard of folks who have worked in animation they normally work on more then 1 episode at a time.  One may be in the script writing, another in voice recording, story boarding, ect.

So has anyone seen today's episode? What did you all think of it?

I thought it was pretty good. It was great seeing Spike get another episode. However I was really disappointed that we didn't learn how Spike's egg came into the possession of Princess Celestia. I had been looking forward all week to this episode, hoping that it would reveal a bit more about our favorite purple dragon. In the end, it didn't really feel like this episode accomplished anything. What did Spike even really learn? That Twilight and the others are his family? I thought he always saw them as family.

Still, despite my complaints, I did enjoy the episode. I just hope that in one episode, we do finally learn where Spike came from.

Spike's always probably wondered what it would be like to be with his own kind in the back in his mind like adopted children always have the question of what it would have been like with their birth parents. I think this was more about giving Spike closure on that issue than anything else.

Okay, there's a lot I want to talk about with this episode, especially some screenshots I can't stop myself from wanting to share.  However, I just finished the episode and am now busy downloading it.

Just know, for those who have yet to see it, when I finally do talk about it...

SPOILER ALERT!!

Oh, and speaking of spoilers, a commercial from The HUB gave info of next week's episode.

That looks like it could be an interesting episode.  As for Spike I wonder why no one in the show thought to just ask Princess Celestia about Spike's egg & what the message she sent fully said.

Rule #1 of EVERY show: No one does something that will COMPLETELY ruin the plot from happening.  Even if it is a simple alternative.

Anyways, on to my SPOILERIFIC version of my thoughts on the episode.  For your convenience, I have put in links to the pictures I will be using.

First off, writers and animators, do not show me this many dragons if you are trying to pass them off as rare.  It will NOT convince me in the end.

Anyways, first surprise of the episode is that Fluttershy keeps her assertiveness from an earlier episode.  I mean, she beats up Rainbow Dash just to show she means "NO!" for crying out loud!

Meh, the episode was okay I guess.  It sort of left me with an open ended feeling.  We never found out anything new at all.  And the fact that they didn't reveal what Princess Celestia said in that latter annoyed me.  Though maybe they'll mention it in the next episode.  I dunno though.  This show isn't known for it's good continuity.

Twilight's brother getting married and there's a dark secret about who he's marrying?  What could it be? :)

SPOILER POST!!

Okay, here we go one last time!

So, we start out with Rainbow Dash sending out flyers to all of Ponyville, telling the pegasi ponies to meet her at the library.  However, it's obvious how avoiding Fluttershy is being about it.

She even tries to hid herself as a tree, but that doesn't work.

Edits to come!

EDIT 1: First off, film is cannon!  Anyways, the film on how it all works is rather old-school, but it does explain a lot.  Also, it's not just about getting enough power to make a tornado big enough to bring up water to Cloudsdale.  It's about beating the record.

Also, Fluttershy acts sick, but Dash sees right through it.  Turns out her hesitation is due to past events.  More to come!

EDIT 2: Technobabble is also cannon!

Anyways, the teasing from others makes Fluttershy into a very sad mood.  She didn't want to help out, period.  However, her animal friends help get her confidence back enough for her to try, but it's not enough to make her join them.

EDIT 3: Apparently, some of the pegasi get sick.  Enough to sadly make them unable to beat the record and be under the necessary power to create a powerful enough tornado.

Fluttershy shows up for morale support.  However, it becomes obvious that they don't have enough power and Twilight convinces Fluttershy to join them.  They almost don't make it.  However, confidence boost in Fluttershy gets them to make just enough so they can send the water to Cloudsdale.

In fact, Fluttershy gets so confident that Rainbow Dash has to stop her manually via a cloud.  It then ends with the moral of the episode.

Review post to come! :)

REVIEW POST!

Okay, despite it all, there's something to talk about with this one.  It's that I really have to point out is just how natural the crying from Fluttershy looked.  What I mean by this is that in most cartoons, when a character cries, the animators tend to use a light blue color so they can easily move the tears.  Making them a different color helps them flow more naturally.  However, here they made them the REAL color tears are, clear.  To work with the real color is one thing, of course, but they also made them act like real tears.  None of that cartoon-like waterfall of tears.  These were VERY natural.  It's obvious how great the animators are at this.  It was almost like I could see true sadness with Fluttershy.  What I saw, dang, that hurt!

Anyways, a very good episode I will admit.  I understand what it is like to be teased and I sympathize for Fluttershy in this one.  I'd beat every last one of those ponies that teased her if I could.

The plot and storyline is simple and enjoyable enough to keep your attention, but as I stated earlier, it's the animation that shines through here.  Definitely one worth watching.

I'll give you all the episode post soon enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed the new episode.

First off, I gotta be honest, this episode had a lot of potential to wind up with Rainbow Dash being severely focused on breaking the Wing Power record. Which is why I'm glad she not only recognized that they wouldn't be able to break that record and have to settle for the more important thing, getting water to Cloudsdale; but that she was also more in tune with the Element of Loyalty than some earlier episodes where instead of pressuring Fluttershy, Dash instead encouraged her. And I really liked that.

I also liked Twilight's line, "Do I look like I speak squirrel." Nice reference to her PPG character, Bubbles, and her ability to speak squirrel.

And big time thumbs up for a return appearance of Spitfire the Wonderbolt. Though come to think of it, there is one thing that got me thinking...

All in all, probably going to be in my top 5 episodes of Season 2. (Will come out with full official list of Season 2 stuff when the finale hits.)

PS: Be honest, you just had to watch or at least remember this classic anime moment (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik) when they started mentioning Wing Power.

This one tends to re-enact trailers of certain movies with certain characters.

This one for Star Wars re-enacted with ponies was done pretty well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYk1DgaeZC8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYk1DgaeZC8)

Rainbow Dash as Luke?  Applejack as Han Solo?  Pinkie as Darth Vader?  That's nothing compared to who plays Darth Sidious. :)

I hate to break it to you, but The Hub and Hasbro are pulling out all the stops on the marketing for this episode.

I do however find it absolutely hilarious that Pinkie Pie would be wearing "THE Hat."

This is going to go down as one of my favorite CMC-based episodes yet.

*I wonder how many had fainted when The Great and Powerful Trixie was mentioned.

*Or that two second shot of Princess Celestia gorging herself out to cake.

*And how Big Macintosh had more to say than his two catchphrases and that they weren't sappy at all.

*This episode even further fueled my raging hatred for Diamond Tiara.

Would anyone mind if I did some rather horrible stuff to her?  I promise it won't be anything life-threatening. :D

Anyways, definitely a good episode.  I was definitely surprised how they made Applejack and Big Mac switch roles there.  I was waiting for a full sentence to come out of his mouth, and it was worth the wait.

As for the rest, the fact that they knew what they were doing was wrong but were forced to do it was hurtful.  Yet, I love how they were able to beat that bully at her own game.

So yeah, a good episode and I look forward to the next one.

Speaking of which, did anyone watch the teaser for it? :)

Looks like it'll be a Pinkie centric episode, could be interesting.  

I liked the episode, glad the CMC's had another episode focusing on them.  Neat how Big Mac got to speak so much this time.  Interesting how they switched the speaking roles for him and Applejack.

Episode was enjoyable, but it was just a little bland with the plot and storyline.  At least it was better than most of the Scooby-Doo episodes. (Which I seriously hate with a passion.) In the end, it was decent, if anything.

Next up is the 2-parter we've been waiting for since it was announced.  What is Princess Candance's secret?  Also, how are those clones involved?  I have my own suspicion, but we'll see what happens.

Quote
From my Storm Princess fanfiction's alternate universe.

These three Canterlot debutantes were the black sheep of high society, so they decided to band together and become partners in business.

Rescued from an ignominious fate as a corporate slave, Mena provides technical knowledge on crystal harvesting as well as her renowned crystal-singing abilities. Don't let her demure, straight-laced demeanor fool you; she's a performer on par with DJ who lives life just as much, if not more.
Crippled at a young age, Rarity became a self-taught artificer and engineer that builds everything from crystal computers to cybernetic limbs. Her dresses hide her legs so she can fit in among normal ponies.
DJ aimlessly partied all day and night; now, to support her friends, she uses her wealth and charisma to build connections and put on shows. She even has fiber-optic strands in her tail to project ad space.

In my Storm Princess story, the spa pony Lotus is reimagined as Healing Waters, the young and enterprising leader of Daedalus Industries. Charismatic and cunning, she enjoys disrupting the schemes of older, established corporations. She has a bit of a mischievous streak and even meddles in the personal affairs of her rivals, such as the venerable Knight Shade (himself the leader of the Erebus Collective, and an homage to an older MLP cartoon character).

I don't have much to say, except that I was first aware of the new MLP show when I saw a few images on Photobucket. I think after doing some research out of curiosity, I found out about the show, and that it was a new MLP.
I didn't choose to watch any of it until later, when I realized more and more what a big fandom it was - so then I got curious and decided to watch a few episodes to see what all the fuss was about.
I can see how it would get addicting, but I actually don't watch it. XD
The biggest appeal, in my opinion, is the 'artwork' - the charming new look of the ponies in comparison to the original.

I hope the rumors are true that we're getting a Derpy Episode in season 3.

I hope a piece of electronic music, industrial rock or choral music makes it into the next season.

I mean, Batman Beyond worked perfect with industrial rock and electronic music. So those two genres in children's cartoons work fine.

And I'm holding out for a time we see a dirty, gritty Equestrian megacity. Even if it's only for one episode or just a show within a show.

Finally, did y'all know that Batman Beyond airs on The Hub too? Can anyone say, crossover ad?

For songs I wish there will be country, opera and ballad or an off screen pop song.

Yeah for the most part the songs have been sorta Pop like I thought. Very calm but good music.

Season 1 - Very cutesy with a child-like demeanor to it. Signs of the Brony Fandom come late in the series and are very minimal. Season 1 is the most innocent season so far.

Season 2 - Integration of Pop Culture and Brony Fandom are on the rise. The innocence is still there but is mixing in with the references (Not to say that there weren't any in Season 1 though). While still retaining innocence, it is starting to be less like a child and more like a man.

Season 3 - Full integration of Brony Fandom comes around full swing. Fan Favorites such as Luna return with bigger plots explaining their past; Derpy Hooves comes back from the fires of Consecutive Meddling to have an entire episode dedicated to her; Trixie and Gilda come back to ask for forgiveness and explore their history; and the show goes deeper into love having an episode centered around Lyra Heartstrings and Bonbon. Series is also taking a darker turn. While still remaining cutesy and fluffy, they tackle bigger issues that sometimes even a Friendship Report can't solve.

The Movie - An epic story with an epic quest. Equestria is put on the bridge of death (again) and its up to the Mane 6 to repair what was damaged before things become permanently dead. Other side notes to be included are the spirits of Nighmare Moon, Discord, and the Windigoes team up together for a showdown with the ponies; all Alicorns in Equestria are taken away and locked up for safe keeping; the Diamond Dog's return and reason why they require many gems (Long story short, it's epic); Big Macintosh and Cheerilee finally proposing to each other; an all out war breaks out in Equestria; the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally find their Cutie Marks, and the Mane 6's friendship along the trip soon evolves into a six way 'Friendship with Additional Love and benefits'. Due to the surge of the Brony Fandom at this point, Hasbro's slick marketing to make it even appeal to even the deepest of haters, raving high-scoring reviews by the critics, and high DVD sales afterwards soon puts My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as one of the most influential animated series of all time. It is tied up there with the Simpsons at this point.

Spin-Offs - Due to Hasbro's great influx of money and wealth from the Friendship is Magic series, they decide to exploit (In a good way) the rise to stardom. They even go for the darkest and edgiest approach possible to draw in more crowds To help combat TV's hour long critically acclaimed series, such as House, Breaking Bad, and The Walking Dead, Hasbro funds to make the widely praised and well know fanfiction, Fallout Equestria, into an hour long program that will run on AMC, directly competing with the other big shots. It is well praised for its fantastic animation, gritty and taboo subject matters of something so childish handled like an adult done extremely well, and being very faithful to the story while being an amazing TV series adaptation. Past Sins also receives this treatment in the form of a two-parter movie. The ponies also get themselves an RPG video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and even an FPS done by Valve. Both were critically acclaimed and sold well, and with the latter being Valve, a HUGE surge of Source Engine ponies coming about.



The History of Friendship is Magic is amazing, isn't it?

The Moral Guardians will flip 650 kinds of s--- when the see the Fallout Equestria program (remember, Fallout Equestria is rated R). After the Derpy incident, I think Hasbro wants to avoid controversial things.

Darker and Edgier MLP:FiM would probably be set in high-tech, cyberpunk dystopic cityscapes ala Batman Beyond and leaning towards a higher octane level. Though a cyberpunk slice-of-life would be nice too. And I can imagine this being a spin-off decades after the original show and the music? Why techno, trance and industrial rock/metal.

Heroes and Allies (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1401/Heroes-and-Allies) by Lynolius would make an utterly kickass movie.

So, tomorrow is the Season Finale!  What are your plans for it?

As for me?  Well, I'll be buying a DVR so I can record it while I'm at work tomorrow.  I miss watching stuff on a DVR.  Plus, I need to start making sure my current cable connection gets it's money's worth or it'll feel like a complete waste.

So yeah, it'll be one of the first things I record on my new DVR.

So, what are your plans for it?

Sure looks like it! BTW, I didn't draw it, I just had to share it.

As for that new clip for the wedding episode, there is a TON of speculation over what Cadance's dark secret it. It ranges from coup attempt to Discord to Trixie getting revenge on Twilight and her family. My theory is that other Mane 6 are all the clones and Twilight doesn't know it yet! ...It could happen.

As for my plans on watching it... I have work.  :bang Which means I'll miss out on watching this and the new Legend of Korra episode. But at least I can catch back up for FiM on Youtube and watch a rerun of LoK on Nick.

How excited I am for the finale?

Just watched the finale. Dear God in Heaven, it was far better than I ever expected it to be.

*Was NOT expecting an entirely new villain to show up. While Chrysalis not as awesome as Discord in my opinion, she was still pretty unexpected. And the clones from the ads are finally explained.

*As ridiculously sappy as this is going to sound (I'm going to have to play A LOT of M Rated Shooters to get my manliness meter back up), I liked that for once it wasn't the Elements of Harmony that defeated the villain; but instead the power of love. It would have been too predictable if defeating the villain was a repeat of dealing with Nightmare Moon and Discord.

*Luna appearing in the episode was... interesting. On one hand, it's a relief to see her at a gathering once more. On the other, I can imagine that there will be comics ripping on her absence from the fight against the changelings.

*What a day for me though, I watch TV and see two new awesome villains!

SEASON RECAP:
*Twilight goes insane.
*Applejack didn't learn anything.
*Canon Luna, Future Twilight, and Discord are awesome.
*Rainbow Dash's Third Rainboom.
*Derpy speaks.

While the wait for Season Three will be hard, I've got Legend of Korra and Red vs. Blue to keep me satisfied. Oh and I finally got an Xbox Live account.

So, just got done watching it.  My thoughts?  BEST WEDDING EPISODE FOR ANY SHOW EVER!!  Seriously, I was not expecting ANYTHING like this!  This will definitely be one of my Top 10 MLP:FiM Episodes for quite some time. (Return of Harmony and Mare in the Moon still beat it though.) I doubt even any episodes from Season 3 will be able to take it off the list.  Seriously, it's that good! :)

Queen Chrysalis was just downright evil.  As a villain, I absolutely loved her.  She was so manipulative to pretty much everyone in the show. (Save for Twilight who saw through her right from the start.) Not to mention cunning and powerful.

The Changlings were great minions.  Not to mention the fight the mane six had against that army.  However, that scene has GOT to be referenced to some movie.  I just know it!  It practically screams it!

Not to mention all of the cameos brought in.  I wonder just how crazy some of the bronies went just for the "Lyra Speaks" part.

Seriously, great episode Hasbro!  You did an awesome job!  You bet that I'm buying this episode when it comes out on DVD!

Now, I impatiently await Season 3.

Until then, see ya! :)

I just watched the 2 parter.  I really enjoyed the episode.  Good idea to have the elements of harmony not be the thing that solved the problem defeated the villain.  Odd how Luna wasn't at the wedding of her relative, or around more.   I guess Cadence being a unicorn Pegasus means somewhere there are those living, and they may live apart from the others, or are very rare and all live in 1 city or something.

According to the Episode Followup on Equestria Daily, I was right.  The fight scene was from a movie.  One of my favorites actually. :)

Quote
I thought this would be an interesting tidbit of info to share. The fight scene against the changlings had a shot that plays out very similarly to one in The Powerpuff Girls Movie.

Powerpuff Girls beating up the monkeys (9:14):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaveyGZ7yuk&t=9m14s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaveyGZ7yuk&t=9m14s)

Mane 6 beating up the changlings (12:41):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3xqKvOwoyk&t=12m41s (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3xqKvOwoyk&t=12m41s)

It could be an homage to the cartoon Faust is most famous for working on, Powerpuff Girls.

-Syggie

Powerpuff Girls Movie homage?  Who'd of thunk?  Lauren Faust, there's a reason you rock! :D

Now comes the task of me working up the courage to tell my family how much I like this before the next season shows up.  Despite how good I've been at it, I doubt I can hide it much longer.

Well, see ya later! :)

As much as I like the new villain song, I have disagree with much of the brony community that is overpraising it.  While I agree it is on par with Disney Villain Songs, it STILL doesn't hold a candle to the following.

I wonder if Princess Cadence is immortal, or extremely long lived like Princesses Celestia and Luna are.  I'd assume she is.

If that is so, she may outlive Shining Armor

And seeing what both went through to get back together, Shining Armor's death will not be a pretty sight.

I she is then it well may.  Unless there is some way to fix it so he doesn't age or something.  

I guess the unicorn pegusas ponies.  I guess the reason her main is not flowing like Luna and Celstia's is is maybe since she's not a ruling princess, or some other reason.

Hey, has anyone here checked out the "My Little Dashie" series going on at FiMFiction?  It's currently on it's 4th official installment.  For those that don't know about it, here's the official links and summaries for each one.

My Little Dashie by ROBCakeran53 (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1888/1/My-Little-Dashie/My-Little-Dashie) - When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

My Little Dashie: A sequel by ty500600 (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5284/My-Little-Dashie%3A-A-sequel) - After being touched by the great story My Little Dashie written by ROBCakeran53, I wanted to give the story an ending, something that would bring closure to all.  Rainbow has finally returned back to the lands of Equestria, but things did not go as well as the ponies were hoping.  Meanwhile, Dad is having a brash confrontation with magic and other-worldly situations.

My Little Dashie : A Threequel by EpicBG (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5991/My-Little-Dashie-%3A-A-Threequel) - My Little Dashie by ROBCakeran53 left many wondering 'What happened next?', ty500600 took the initiative to give the story an ending, to grant closure to all those saddened hearts. The ending gave closure, as intended, but still left the readers with many questions, myself included. I have taken the liberty to answer some of those questions in this epilogue/story.

Note : In this story, ty500600's Epilogue is only true to a degree, yes it happened but it happened differently.

Dad has been in Equestria for five years now, but what has happened during his time there? What will happen in the future?

This story was initially going to be just an epilogue but I've put some thought into it and I wish to continue the tales of Dad and Dashie.

My Little Dashie: Fourth Times the Charm by PonyManne215 (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22169/My-Little-Dashie%3A-Fourth-Times-the-Charm) - I write as much as I can in the same style of the other ones by ROB, ty500600, and EpicBG. I continue EpicBG's story from his last chapter. Anyone who reads and likes this please, if you haven't already, press the like button. I want more people to find out about this story so they can enjoy it as well.

As a favor to me, if you dislike the story, please do not press the dislike button as you should not have read it in the first place. Don't dislike the story just because it is another sequel either. If you have the absolute need to press it, at least tell me the reason so I can see if I can maybe make it better or learn new things. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

Brian is now getting into his middle ages and eventually to his old age. He knows that he won't have much time and does what he can to love his life even more and live it with Dashie and her friends.

---------------

Seriously, check this out!  It's a great series.  One you should definitely read.  It'll be well worth your time. :)

See ya later!

Hey everyone, I have a favor to ask.  If anyone is reading and enjoying the "My Little Dashie" installments that I posted, once you reach the fourth, please hit that "like" button.  The reason I ask this is because it is suffering "dislike" abuse just because it's another installment of "My Little Dashie" and they simply don't want it.  That is a bullying method that cannot be tolerated.

To me, a good story is a good story and it does not deserve to be treated as such.

Please do me this favor and give it the likes it deserves.

Thank you for your time and I'll see ya later!

It's after the Royal Wedding where Twilight finds her brother.

Have any of y'all read the rather infamous fic The Conversion Bureau and its numerous spin-offs?

Granted, I am not a fan of the 'verse, save for three spin offs. What puzzles me is how the hell it got on EQD? The original story by Blaze was quite frankly, a piece of s---.

And the most famous author of the 'verse, Chatoyance is a complete nutcase; she creeps me out in the way that no dark fic can.

Look at some of the quotes she says on Fimfiction.

Quote
On the importance of a self-consistent, mythic world: the entire basis of all fantasy and science fiction - not to mention religion or any story - the very engine that powers it is suspension of disbelief. A fool says 'it's only a cartoon' or 'it's only a movie' or 'it's only a book'. No, it is more than that, if, and only if, it manages to create a stable, self-sustaining artifice in the mind of the audience, if it manages to get them to suspend their disbelief. This is only possible if the world is consistent, if the tone is appropriate, if the details support the artifice, if everything comes together to generate emotional and intellectual immersion within the fictional world. It all falls apart, and becomes 'only a cartoon' when those making it no longer make that effort, stop believing in their world, and use it cheaply and without the effort to make it believable.

I actually do like that story. I am always a big sucker for 'Human in Equestria' stories. I especially LOVED the spin-off called 'Last Man Standing'. Don't want to spoil anything to anyone who hasn't read it, but it really did stab me in the heart as a tear jerker,



Oh, and darker and edgier? Um...

I like HiE fics but I prefer the ones where there is no transformation.

I hate the CB-verse for its "superior species"/"Humans are bastards" posturing. But I especially hate it for its rather blatant message of advocating genocide.

I myself am not a huge fan of HiE based stories. I'm sure there's plenty of good ones out there; I just find them extremely over-done.

I am however considering and brainstorming a Friendship is Magic X Mass Effect crossover story. Set after the end of ME3, (Female) Shepard wakes up as a pony in Equestria and has to find out how she got there and how to get back, if that's even possible.

I know that Soarin' is a corrupted version of the Danish given name S¯ren (Soren) but the name of this guy gave me a laugh: S¯ren Overgaard (http://dk.linkedin.com/pub/s%C3%B8ren-overgaard/2a/811/881). Yes, this man is a pilot.

With seven billion people in the world, there's probably a brony pilot who happens to be named S¯ren.

By the way, a girl in one of my classes is named Celestia.

Fic recommendations:

Feats Beyond Imagination (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/23775/1/Starworks/Prologue%3A-%27Feats-Beyond-Imagination%27) (Starworks)- An alternate universe tale that stars Trixie as a street performer in the sprawling high-tech city that is Canterlot. Equestria appears to be a bustling high-tech cyberpunk world.

Heroes and Allies (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/1401/Heroes-and-Allies) (Lynolius) - A war story that tells the tale of Equestria battling a large alliance of opposing species. Thanks to some experiments on Earth, Humanity is requested to assist Equestria.

----------------

And my defunct RP My Little Pony: Cyberpunk is Magic (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=10520) is now going to be turned into a full universe! In fact, I am willing to let other people play in it and write stories.

I've pre-ordered mine!  Get yours ASAP!!
Well, there are two DVDs coming out here in New Zealand at the end of June.  First one is called "Friendship Changes Everything", whjile the second one is called "TYhat's What Friends Are For".  But so far, doesn't say which episodes are on them, but I do know that Trixie's episode is on the second one....as it mentions about Trixie.

http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/DVD/My-...ume-1/19760064/ (http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/DVD/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-Friendship-Changes-Everything-Volume-1/19760064/)

http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/DVD/My-...ume-2/19760066/ (http://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/DVD/My-Little-Pony-Friendship-is-Magic-Thats-What-Friends-Are-For-Volume-2/19760066/)

They're up for preorder on the website where I usually buy my DVDs from....a New Zealand website of course, but where a few things can still be shipped outside of New Zealand.

But yeah, they are official DVDs....since MightApe only sells actual DVDs, not bootlegged(sp?) ones or anything like that.  But when June comes around, I'll be preordering them for sure.

Posting pictures does NOT equate to spamming.  I'm sorry your computer can't handle it Champion, but that is YOUR problem, not ours.  The whole internet isn't going to adapt to your slow connection.  Get an image blocker if it pisses you off so much.

I actually like My Little Pony Tales.

Gen 3 was like eating a packet of Splenda, so sweet it tastes bad.

-------------------

On a side note, few people seem to address the fact that the The Conversion Bureau (original and a good deal of the spin-offs) either openly or subtly advocate genocide; indeed, a detractor called it "genocide porn". Not to mention the ponies and Celestia are portrayed as heroes and saviors despite actually being complete and utter f---wads.

Those reasons above sum up why I absolutely hate that 'verse. And I have a very low opinion of Chatoyance, one of the most famous TCB spinoff fic writers. And I am puzzling how the original got on EQD, because frankly, the writing sucked. For starters, the Mane Six got derailes into hardcore xenophobes.

^You really don't know what you're talking about.  Invision limits the filesize and total files that are able to be uploaded to the board itself.  LOL.  None of the pictures posted here were "uploaded" to Invision so those rules don't apply.  They're just trying to prevent overload of their server on THEIR end.  And besides, most of these pictures are tiny in filesize.  Even if they were uploaded to Invison, it wouldn't surpass any limits.

Oh, and those TOU don't mention posting images and spamming for a very good reason.  The limit is set to keep Invison's server costs down.  Image posting does NOT equate to spamming.  Spamming would be posting images relating to buying crap or Viagra or affiliate links.  Or posting HUGE images in the hopes of crashing people's browsers.  That may be what's happening to you, but these images are tiny and very manageable.  They might crash 1/10,000 browsers and it wouldn't be because they're too large.  You've got a problem with your computer Champion.  Either fix it or stop complaining about it.

This is a tiny image:

(http://chzbronies.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-brony-and-candy-too.png)

I didn't post it to piss you off.  It should already be in your browser's cache so it shouldn't slow down your loading of the page at all.  But the image is less than 110kb.  Even on dial-up that image would load in 2-3 seconds.  I'm going through a splitter right now so my speeds are TERRIBLE at only 1Mbps and I can load this whole page in under 5 seconds.  On my regular computer I can load the page in only 1-2 seconds.  You've got a problem with your computer and it's your job to fix it.  Everyone else isn't going to adapt to your problems.

Now, onto the other matter I have.  Some time ago I had a little talk with DH.  She knows of my problem with wanting to tell my parents about me liking the show.  So, anyone have any tips as to how to tell them and help them understand?

This is rather difficult for me. -_-

I had to check this topic out as there are apparently threats being made.

I'll say a couple of things:

Landbeforetimelover is right, it applies to pictures uploaded to invisionfree.

Yes, that is a tiny image lbtlover, but the person posting right after you does exactly show what campion is talking about. Excessive nonsense.

I won't say that I know much about my little pony, but there is no need to hate each other for liking or disliking different generations. We do not hate people who only like the first lbt movie, right?

Now if any hatred or threatening (john I'm refering to you here) continues, I will close this topic down despite the love it gets. We cannot monitor this topic, so please keep yourself to the rules or I (or another admin) will be taking action.

Thank you.

Not sure if it would help, but, way way way back in the 90's, when even dial up was slower then dial up nowadays, to speed up web surfing I had my browser, I think in the options area, not automatically load images.  It would just load text only.  A bit annoying having to right click on the image placeholder to have it load an image I wanted to see but I could see the text very quickly and decide if I wanted it to load an image or not.

Other options are to agree to only post images up to a certain size and either provide a link where the image is with a description of the image, or, not sure if it's possible here, some web sites have an thumbnail that you can click on to see the full size image or it can take you to the site where the full image is, and you can load that as a tab.

Well that image is rather large.  But like I've pointed out before, most people don't know how to check an image's size.  We could make it a rule to just post a link when it's a bigger image, but I doubt it would do any good.  You've got my support, but I would have linked to the image with a warning anyways, regardless if Champion was complaining or not.  But I'm a computer guy.  You can't expect the same conduct from regular people.  That's why limits are put up by software to give you a warning when you're trying to upload something excessively large.  Unfortunately there's no way to implement this on GOF.

General consensus is that the original sucks. Opinion is divided on the spinoffs. I personally find most of them as bad as the original.

Campion1, this is your only warning from me.  You don't stop, you will be reported to the mods to be properly dealt with.  Understand?
And what exactly did Campion1 do to warrant a warning? From what I read in his last couple posts in this thread, his main concern was the excessive use of large pictures in this thread that causes slowdowns with anyone who doesn't have or can't afford a fast connection. This is a more legitimate concern and I don't see why him stating that something should be done about it makes him deserve a warning.

Yes, he could compromise and get an image blocker. I linked him to one myself, for Firefox.

But then, the people in this thread can also compromise.

It's just as painless to post links rather than pictures as it is for Campion1 to install an image blocker.

I haven't been in this topic as much because it seems the vast majority of it is less character/episode/show discussion and more posting up many random pictures and fanart. I don't mind if it's done once in a while, but it seems like it's become the bulk of the topic (at least from what I've seen; I could be mistaken).

So anyway, yeah. Both sides can compromise. People with slow connections can get image blockers if it's too much trouble for them, or even avoid the topic if they aren't a fan of it anyway. And the people in the topic who are posting so many pictures can post links instead. Both require so little effort.

My question is this:

Campion1, why can't you get an image blocker if large pictures cause your browser to freeze? And the people active in this topic, why can't you all post links instead of pictures? Are these two tasks (image blocker and link posting) really that difficult to perform?

I hope I didn't offend anyone. This is just my two cents on the issue.

Campion1 is intentionally stirring up trouble because he can. That's why. Remember when he trolled us by joining those hate groups on devART? Exactly. He hates this show, and he would like nothing more than to spoil our fun.

I ask everybody here to take a step back and not allow for any tempers to boil high to the point where it would make any staff intervention necessary. Matters are currently discussed in the staff room.

As for one member "threatening" another, I do not see the mention of the option to report actions to the staff as an intollerable kind of "threat", the much the more as many people have reported actions in the past without previously announcing this possibility.
Indeed the posting of links rather than images from a certain size upwards is an option that ought to be taken into account.
The question to you Campion, why you are bothering so much about this when you so often declared your dislike of the franchise however is quite legitimate.
Views on this franchise are very split apparently, but from personal experience I know that it is very easy for anyone who is not interested to just stay out of this thread.
I appeal to everyone to live and let live and not try to start a fuss where there is no cause.

This isn't a news thread, nor is this forum http://www.chicagotribune.com (http://www.chicagotribune.com).  This topic is meant for fun and talking about the series.  Images are essential because text is oftentimes very boring.  And making EVERYONE ELSE click on every single link to see each picture is unreasonable just because one person that HATES THE SERIES ANYWAYS has to wait a longer time to view the thread.

You're welcome. :)

I admit I don't know what result will come out of this. Perhaps the Rock Circle thread should be revived for further discussion.

Both solutions I mentioned, the image blocker and posting links, are both equally viable solutions. But if I had to make a suggestion based on what I saw as the "good of the forum", one that may help newcomers feel more comfortable, is to post links. I have a fast internet and I admit there are times, when in this thread, I would get sick and tired of all the large (not as in download size) pictures loading up.

I have to say this. I am officially jealous of kids young enough to be kids when the first episode premiered. I mean, I love this show, but man if I don't wish I could have been twenty years younger when it came into my life. I would have been absolutely mesmerized by it.

Man, loving this show with the added bonus that it would someday be nostalgic would be awesome. That's the funny thing about nostalgia. Sometimes the things you loved as a child turn out to be crap when looking at them from an adult perspective, but you still love them because of how happy they made you once upon time. It's a special thing to find an old movie or TV show that stands the test of time. This is going to be something that kids now will watch with their kids later.

A couple of My Little Disney PMVs for you all to enjoy!  These are my favorites so far from the latest series the author of the videos is doing, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Kidnap the Sandy Claws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9o3ZWFLOxk)

Jack's Obsession (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ophni1jWAqY)

What's This? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQTGn3qgypc&feature=relmfu)

Thou I like what they have shown, I will patiently wait for "Poor Jack".  It's my favorite song of the movie and I hope the author of these videos does it justice. :)

I haven't seen G.I. Joe (and honestly have no desire to), but I know that it didn't have any aliens in it. But as long as it's not directed by Michael Bay, then I'll have no problem with it. XP

I did hear that the new G.I. Joe movie has been delayed to NINE. FREAKING. MONTHS. To convert it to 3D. I'm sure there's a lot of G.I. Joe fans saying this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Azz-6oT08c):

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Serris on May 26, 2012, 03:44:52 AM
I came up with an unusual take on the polarizing fic The Conversion Bureau.

-------------

Basically it's an action/adventure/thriller that is my own spin on the 'verse. Earth will be near future Earth (current year plus two to six years). Equestria will be depicted as it is in the show but with more modern technology (magitech analogues) some parts will be blatently "crystalpunk" (high tech society analogous to cyberpunk but magic crystals are the key instead of computers).

It starts off with a prologue in the year 2014 with Celestia and Luna discussing their plans for their kingdom. It then soon goes bad when Celestia suggests subjugating and colonizing a newly discovered world ó Earth ó for resources and land. Luna is, understandably horrified and urges her sister to go the diplomatic route. Celestia brushes her off, saying that since that Earth is "an unnatural, wild land" and its inhabitants are "non-magical monkeys", "nopony will miss them". She then adds that since the Equestrians have magic, this gives them the right to subjugate any non-magical beings.

Luna, finding this an affront to her morals, tells Celestia that she will have no part in this. Celestia then has her imprisoned in the castle dungeons. As the guards drag her off, a unicorn scientist comes in with a flask of purple liquid.

The first actual chapter (set in 2017), starts off as a normal TCB fic starring a guy who's quite literally the only Human in a town of 15,000 people. Feeling totally alienated and after receiving news that his two grown children chose ponification and now reside in Equestria, he eventually decides to ponify. However, he considers it equivalent to suicide. But he backs out at the last moment, returns home and decides to blog about it. The next day, he finds a package on his front doorstep addressed to him. Upon carrying the package to his bedroom and opening it, he finds a rolled up parchement with a distinct crescent moon wax seal. When he opens the wax seal, Princess Luna teleports in. He immediately tells her to get lost but, she assures him that she's just here to talk. Princess Luna then reveals that the conversion, lethal magic radiation and expanding barrier was all part of Celestia's plan to conquer Earth.

So he then joins the LRA (Lunar Resistance Army)  in their mission to stop the expansion of Equestria, overthrow Celestia and hopefully open peaceful relations between Equestria and Earth. This man will be one of many in the LRA. He will meet Changlings, Zebras, Griffons, Diamond Dogs, Humans, Newfoals and Ponies (natural-born). They are united by one cause: the overthrow of Celestia and the destruction of the infrastruction responsible for Celestia's plot. They will face many dangers, ranging from hostile civilians to dangerous wildlife to the terrorist group Ponification For Earth's Rebirth (PER). But their most dangerous foe is the Solar Princess herself along with her legions of fanatically devoted troops and her elite cadre ó The Elements of Harmony.

Can this group succeed or will Earth and Humanity be trampled under the iron-shod hooves of Celestia's military?

Titles I came up with:

1.) The Conversion Bureau: Enemy Within
2.) The Conversion Bureau: A Dark In the Light
3.) The Conversion Bureau: The Lunar Resistance Army
4.) The Conversion Bureau: Stand Up For Whatt is Right!

http://www.fimfiction.net/story/27033/Of-C...nges-and-Kisses (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/27033/Of-Challenges-and-Kisses)

And it all starts with a challenge to "snog" her. (Which basically means kissing on the lips.) With him being such a nervous wreck near her in the story, it's going to be quite the challenge.

In all seriousness, you should check it out.  The author has a good story going so far.

Okay, read that faster than I expected.  So, my thoughts?

I very much liked this article.  It was done rather well and had little to no hate being spouted out at the brony community.  I really liked how she handled all of the notions surrounding the community at hand.  All of them were squashed properly and the article left me the feeling that anyone who takes the time to read this, who at one time or another had a rather unthoughtful opinion on the community, will have a completely different and more whole-hearted opinion when they are done reading it.

Also, because of how well done it is, I feel that, with this in hand, I'll be able to properly confess my love for the show to my parents.  I put it off for more than a year because I didn't know how to properly defend my love for it.  Now that I have this to help me, I feel that I am ready for it. (But then again, what do I know what my parents' opinion will be?  My dad is a heterosexual male whose favorite color is pink.)

I'll be properly preparing myself over the next couple of days.  I am going to be spending time with them, along with my grandparents, on Wednesday and I am going to confess everything.

Wish me luck. :)

So yeah, disappointment right there.  Still, looks like I now have until Sunday to prepare myself when I'll be spending the day with my parents by visiting them.  So, either way, it won't be too long until I tell them.

I couldn't answer it properly, so I just shrugged the question off XD

But it was an amusing question regardless :lol

Post by: Serris on June 12, 2012, 02:19:33 AM
I have actually come up with two ideas that take apart possibly one of the most hated MLP fanfics there is: The Conversion Bureau.

Quote
On a side note, how about the story of a Human scientist who helped develop the ponification serum but after learns the real reason behind the ponification and expanding barrier (possibly by getting a "the reason you suck speech", coupled with a veiled death threat from the HLF); he goes rogue, trying to find a way to render Humans immune to the lethal magic barrier. At the same time, he has to help get the truth of the matter out.

The trouble is that the scientist is wanted by the PER. They gets wind of what he's doing and tries to forcibly ponify or kill him as they see him as a traitor. The HLF is leery of him because of his previous background.

On a side note, I'm making the HLF a multi-species resistance group (Ponies, Humans and other sapient species). And they're fairly well equipped (think light armored vehicles, explosives, automatic weapons, squad based weapons etc).

The PER is just as deadly but they rely on things like potion bombs, spraying potion in public places, etc. Less brute force than the HLF. They rely on ponification mostly but they can and will use lethal force when they are trying to acquire potion.

The Conversion Bureau: A Light in the Dark
Quote
An action/adventure/thriller that is my own spin on the 'verse. Earth will be near future Earth (current year plus two to six years). Equestria will be depicted as it is in the show but with more modern technology (magitech analogues) some parts will be blatently "crystalpunk" (high tech society analogous to cyberpunk but magic crystals are the key instead of computers).

It starts off with a prologue in the year 2014 with Celestia and Luna discussing their plans for their kingdom and how its collision course with Earth will affect them. Talks then go bad when Celestia, having seen the worst of Humanity suggests forcibly turning Humanity into ponies - at the same time, destroying their minds - in order to keep her subjects safe. Luna who has seen a more balanced view of Humans, is utterly disgusted and reams out her sister. Eventually, Celestia snaps back with the "I'm the older sister; I know what's best!" Luna then storms out of the throne room as unicorn scientist comes in with a flask of purple liquid.

The first actual chapter (set in 2019), starts off as a normal TCB fic starring a guy who's quite literally the only Human in a town of 15,000 people. Feeling totally alienated and after receiving news that his two grown children chose ponification and now reside in Equestria, he eventually decides to ponify. However, he considers it equivalent to suicide. But he backs out at the last moment, returns home and decides to blog about it. The next day, he finds a package on his front doorstep addressed to him. Upon carrying the package to his bedroom and opening it, he finds a rolled up parchement with a distinct crescent moon wax seal. When he opens the wax seal, Princess Luna teleports in. He immediately tells her to get lost but, she assures him that she's just here to talk. Princess Luna then reveals that the conversion, lethal magic radiation and expanding barrier was all part of Celestia's plan to wipe out Humanity and force them into ponifying.

So he then joins the LRA (Lunar Resistance Army) in their mission to stop the expansion of Equestria, overthrow Celestia and hopefully open peaceful relations between Equestria and Earth. This man will be one of many in the LRA. He will meet Discord, the Elements of Harmony, Changlings, Zebras, Griffons, Diamond Dogs, Humans, Newfoals and Ponies (natural-born). They are united by one cause: the overthrow of Celestia and the destruction of the infrastructure responsible for Celestia's plot. They will face many dangers, ranging from hostile civilians to dangerous wildlife to the terrorist group Ponification For Earth's Rebirth (PER). But their most dangerous foe is the Solar Princess herself along with her legions of fanatically devoted troops.

Can this group succeed or will Earth and Humanity be trampled under the iron-shod hooves of Celestia's military?

A darker version of this had Celestia as an outright xenocidal speciesist and conqueror. And the EOH served as her elite cadre.

My idea for a season premiere starts with AJ's Birthday party where she plays up to dance with her fiddle.

The party is held like Pinkie Pie's Birthday in the barn.

AJ tells a story about what she does beside work, how she met with Fluttershy as a filly where she got Winona and a flashback of her first rodeos in a two part.

I can't believe this! Shout Factory! refused to release a season box set of My Little Pony: FIM, but they have one for the first half of G.I. Joe Renegades which got cancelled after ONE SEASON! The hell?! So they don't think we'll "pony" up the cash for a hugely successful series but will pay for one that apparently no one watched. I need to lie down for a while.

I can't let go! Ponibooru has done so much for me!

Using Ponibooru, I actually backtracked to some not so well known but still talented artists on DeviantArt that I follow to this very day.

Uncolored sketches that were posted on Ponibooru helped me realize what I could do. That art now rests proudly in my DeviantArt as well.

Still on the topic of DeviantArt

The people there made me laugh. PynkyPy, Roboshi, Anchors, YellowTDash, Whirly Willow, Gittonsxv, Jackarunda, etc.

My room has been turned into an 'Inspiration Room' of sorts that helps inspire my writing and art, and cheers me up when I feel down. My room is literally covered with art that was all from Ponibooru.

(This will probably be the first time you guys see my room)

Ponibooru was like the second coming impact of my Pony life, the first being introduced to My Little Pony via this thread.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on June 17, 2012, 01:23:14 PM
Plus, how can I put it, Ponibooru was adventurous. What I mean by that is this. Other Boorus I've been to always enact some set of rules to keep the law and order. Not Ponibooru, nooo. Ponibooru was like the Wild West. There was hardly any law and people went free reign. The only two laws that were enforced were; Pony Images or Meta Pony Images Only and No Humanized Child Porn. Other than that, the rest was a wide open plane. You had different ranges of pictures from the cute and cuddly to the hardcore and explicit. It could all go to purgatory on the turn of a dime.

The comments were also worth it all. Sometimes there was spam, sometimes there fights, but the best types were the ones late at night. I don't think I told anyone about the Nigel Thornberry one where everyone posted nothing but Nigel Thornberry. Or better yet, the Dance Party comments, were everyone would just post gif's of dancing and stuff like that. And the first image of Ponibooru is awesome as well. It's where everyone would try to test their BBC Coding. I even tried my hand at that.

Good times about to turn into nothing. Heck, I used Ponibooru so much that just typing the letter 'P' into my URL automatically brings up the Ponibooru URL as the first choice.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 17, 2012, 02:14:09 PM
^^Unfortunately, you have no choice in the matter.  The following message about the situation comes from EqD.

Quote
As many of you may have noticed this morning, the image repository Ponibooru has shut down all uploading capability. According to the site owner, this was "not due to any sort of external pressure, nor is it due to financial problems. The reasons are personal: I (Eco/Archive/&c) have simply reached the point where I can see no way to run the site that I can live with, nor do I have any person whom I trust to run the site in a way I can endorse."

Select highly-rated images have been offloaded to a sister site Derpibooru, which will continue Ponibooru's functionality. On Ponibooru you can also find torrents for every image uploaded to the site since its launch, as well as only highly-rated ones.

Ponibooru will go dark in two months, on August 17th, 2012.

Sorry, but you'll either have to let go or be forced to in two months time.  The owner of the site has made their choice.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on June 17, 2012, 02:34:46 PM
I am already prepared to move on. I signed up for Derpybooru and Bronibooru, as well as downloaded the torrents that contain all the pictures of Ponibooru as well as looking for archived web pages so that I can still read the comments and such, but it's like losing a pet. You don't want it to go but you know you have to see it go. It's just a really sad day. It would be like MLP:FiM's final season announcement. They already made their choice but that doesn't stop the emotions of sadness from coming.

Was watching the MLP: FiM DVDs of mine last night, that contain the first 10 episodes among two DVDs.  Anyway, whilst watching them, I did notice Derpy in a few of the episodes, still easy to spot.....but want to point this out....her eyes are normal now :p

But that didn't bother me, she was still easy to spot regardless....and I'm just pleased that I have the DVDs in the first place.  Granted, still hope that they release more volumes soon enough.

Did you know that there are some wonderful stories out there that, for one reason or another, were NEVER accepted by EqD?  I'm not kidding here.  The story I have to share with you is a really good one that, by all rules and regulations, should be on EqD, but was never accepted by them for a reason I can't seem to figure out.

Anyways, hope you enjoy this.

The F-Bomb (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/6372/The-F-Bomb)

Basically, the story is that the CMCs learn a swear word.  You can guess how well that will go. :)

Enjoy and I'll see ya later! :D

Now, here's the real outrage for me.  Best one out of those that were good but never accepted and, worst of all, the member was banned from submitting to EqD.

Absent (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/9213/Absent)

It's an unofficial sequel to the awesome Past Sins. :) (Seriously speaking, I'll never understand those who hate the original.  EVER!)

So let's see... So far Johnny Bravo was launched out of the boutique by Rarity, put into a crate by Fluttershy, launched out of a cannon by Pinkie Pie, tricked falling through a cloud by Rainbow Dash and bucked through the air by Applejack.  With only Twilight left how will he fair?  Well...

Don't worry though.  It's not over yet!  The author has more in store for poor Johnny. :)

Post by: WeirdRaptor on July 02, 2012, 04:49:25 PM
You know, I just can't get excited about Season 3. After the whole Derpygate thing, I just don't trust the creators to have any integrity anymore. They pussed out and unnecessarily changed the scene, and things for me and this show just haven't been the same since. God, it just becomes more and more apparent that Faust leaving was a huge mistake with every passing day.

I don't really have high hopes for season 3. I really don't.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Spartanguy88 on July 03, 2012, 08:11:08 PM
@pokeplayer984 Agreed! I have a really good feeling about the episode. Especially if it's going to involve using a certain popular Internet Meme...

If the fandom has now gotten to the point where you got someone making an ENTIRE episode...

From EqD, the lyrics of the full version of the song Smile. :)

Smile Song by Amy Keating Rogers

PINKIE
My name is Pinkie Pie!--Hello!--And
I am here to say--How ya doin’?--
I’m gonna make you smile and I will
brighten up your day!--Bonjour!
It doesn’t matter now--What’s up?--
if you are sad or blue.--Howdy
pard’ner! Cause cheering up my
friends is just what Pinkie’s here
to do!

(chorus)
ëCause I love to make you smile,
smile, smile. Fills my heart up
with sunshine-shine-shine. All I
really need’s a smile, smile,
smile. From these happy friends of
mine!

(verse)
I like to see ya grin--Awesome!--
and I would love to see you beam.--
Rock on!--Seein’ the corners of
your mouth turned up is always
Pinkie’s dream.--Hoof bump!
But if you’re kinda worried--Oh no!-
-and your face has made a frown--
Hold on!--I’ll work real hard and
do my best to turn that frown
upside down!

(chorus)
ëCause I love to make you grin-grin-grin.
Bust it out from ear to eaea-
ear. Just give me a joyful
grin, grin, grin. And you fill me
with good cheer!

(bridge)
It’s true, some days are dark and
gloomy. And maybe you feel sad.
But Pinkie will be there to show
you it really isn’t bad.
There’s one big thing that makes me
happy and makes my life worthwhile.
And that’s when I talk to my
friends and I get them to smi-iile!

TALK-SING “PATTER” SECTION

PINKIE
Did you finally get that nasty
cough cleared up there, Derpy Doo?

DERPY DOO
Yes! I followed your advice and
drank Zecora’s no-cough brew!

PINKIE
Your new haircut’s really cool
there, Hairy! Lookin’ super-fly!

HAIRY
Wow I can’t believe you noticed!
You’re the best friend, Pinkie Pie!

PINKIE
Hey there, Shimmy-Shake! How did
Twist do on her last spelling test?

SHIMMY SHAKE
Thanks for asking, Pinkie Pie!
This time she really did her best!

PINKIE
Hey there Rarity, I really like
your super sense of style.

RARITY
Thank you, Pinkie Pie. You sure do
know just how to make me smile!

PINKIE
Twilight, here’s that book you
wanted. It’s about this great
white whale!
Hello, Spike, so nice to see you!
Wow! I love your shiny scales!
Fluttershy, I found a lost friend.

FLUTTERSHY
Bunny, I’ll take care of you!

PINKIE
Applejack, tell Granny Smith I
loved that tasty Apple Stew!
Polo Ponies, best of luck! I know
your game will go just great!

POLO PONIES
When we win, we want you here so
you can help us celebrate!

PINKIE
Hey there rooster, that sure was a
super cock-a-doodle doo!
And, hey cows, I gotta thank you
all for bustin’ out a moo.

COWS
Moo!

PINKIE
You chickens lay great eggs. And
pigs, you really are fine swine.
And seeing you all smile is making
me feel really fiiine!

BACK TO SINGING

PINKIE
(verse)
I really am so happy!--Woo hoo!--
Your smiles fill me up with glee.--
Whoopee!--I give a smile and I get
a smile, and that’s so special to
me. Thank you all for being
friendly--Tee hee!--And for making
my day bright--Uh hunh!--Spreading
joy out to all my friends makes me
feel out of sight!

(chorus)
Cause I love to see you beam, beam,
beam. Tell me what more can I sayay-
ay? Makes me happy when you beaea-
eam. Yes, it always makes my
day!

PINKIE AND FRIENDS
(chorus)
Yes, I love to make you grin-grin-grin.
Bust it out from ear to ea-ea-

grin, grin, grin. And you fill me
with good cheer!

Come on everypony smile, smile,

PINKIE
(solo)
Yes, the perfect gift for me-ee-ee.

make me happy has can be-ee-ee.
All you have to do is smile!

EDIT: This person has been banned. The length and amount of pictures in this thread make the moving of this post rather complex (Browsers crash every time we try). Also it would the following messages dangle in midair without clarity of the reference which is why I hope it is okay if we let it stand like that. Duckia will not return to bother anyone anymore.

Turns out the writers of Season 3 had plans to put a dinosaur into the show but it was cancelled.

I know I don't post here often but because of Duckia I will. I sadly cannot remove her post, since when I try that the entire topic has to be loaded (so that I can select multiple posts, if necessary). As you might understand that takes a while, and firefox is crashing on my end once everything has been loaded. Hopefully another one of the admins can fix this.

She/He's already suspended, we're still looking at what to do with him/her.

I suggest you just whack him/her with the banhammer and be done with it.  He/she is obviously just a troll with nothing intelligent or legitimate to contribute to the group.

My top two characters I'd love to see make a come back in Season 3 are Braeburn and The Great and Powerful Trixie.

http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_F...ic#Season_three (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic#Season_three)

So far, the HUB has placed an order for 13 episodes. Whether ot not that means Season 3 will only have 13 episodes or not, we will find out soon enough.

But if we do end up with 13 episodes, they better add 13 more or make each episode 1 hour long, because Seasons 1 and 2 both have 26 each (Unless you count Season 2's 2 parter opening with Discord, as it was meant for Season 1 and a lot of things point towards it originally being Season 1 as well, so technically Season 1 should have 28 episodes and Season 2 24 episodes)

I had an arguement with Cleverbot last night, it was amussing.  I told it that Pinkie Pie was best pony, but it told me Rainbow Dash was, and we kept on picking different ponies.  Then I told it Spike was best pony....it reminded me that he is not a pony.  I asked it why....it's answer...."Because he is German" O.o

Then I did it again later on, it mentioned Rarity, I mentioned Spike....then it asked me if I ship it XD

Still, also reminds me of when I randomly asked it if Rainbow Dash was a lesbian, it's response? "You know it!".  Sounded a little too chereful there I think.....

So yes, Cleverbot knows a bit about ponies too.  It even knows the teme song to the show too XD

I actually think the whole dinosaur character being cut thing was just a joke; the voice actor they chose to voice him was featured in one of the Jurassic Park movies.

I feel rather stupid, though... Because I fell for it at first.  <_<

On a side note, I too hope they have more than 13 episodes for Season 3.  That's definitely too few for a season in my eyes. :)

I can't wait to see everybody scamper around like headless chickens over who it is...I'd like to say Soarin' too, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up

That does finalize her sexuality, though...until the fanfictions come out saying that he's just her "beard".

Just because she's not in charge anymore, doesn't mean she doesn't get information about it.

Look, I know it's been fun and all, but I pretty much saw this coming.  After all, this is a kid's show made in America, and when it comes to sexuality, there are certain rules on that.

Yes, I know, we've all had fun with the "rainbow mane means she's lesbian" theory, but it's run it's course and has been squashed, as I predicted it would. :)

But now that I think about it...they did say they were going to introduce some more boy ponies, so it might be a new stallion.

My prediction is that Rainbow Dash would be too embarrassed to admit to her friends that she has a boyfriend, since she thinks that it would make her look prissy. Or something like that. Basically the same as when she was being scared of looking like an "egghead", but with a guy instead of a book.

I really hate HiE fanfics.  It's just not right to have a human in the pony world.  But I think the same about every show that doesn't have humans.  Just like throwing a human into LBT would be weird.  Don't get me wrong.  I've never "thumbed down" or bashed a HiE fic because it was HiE.  I just don't like them and avoid them as much as possible.  

But I think my least favorite is humanized ponies.  They're ponies.  Why on earth would you humanize them?  It's not really them then.  Just some weirdo alternate reality cross-breed creature that's sort of like a human and a pony combined.  No thanks. :rolleyes

I don't like humanized ponies.

I especially like the HiE fics that have a science fiction edge.

On a side note, I hate The Conversion Bureau (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/FanFic/TheConversionBureau) and most of its spinoffs with a passion. The only TCB fics I like are the ones where Humanity shows the ponies the error of their ways (either by opening up a giant can of whoopass or by less violent means) or ones that completely deconstruct the whole premise.

As for why I hate these fics:

1.) Designated Hero and Designated Villain seem to be the two most commonly used tropes.
2.) A lot of authors use it to espouse their "Humans are Bastards" view.
3.) Some of the authors are f---ing crazy.
4.) The ponies are turned into a race of xenophobic Mary Sues.
5.) The stories can get really heavy-handed with their moralizing.

Well, after watching a certain Pixar movie, I've finally come up with an idea for my first story... a Crossover//Alternate Universe with Toy Story!
(http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/24226270.jpg)
(http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/029/c/8/ponies_everywhere_by_imfreakazoid-d4o15fs.jpg)

We all know the story behind Toy Story: A Cowboy doll and a Space Ranger action figure go on a hilarious adventure together. But what if it wasn't a Space Ranger that was the Cowboy's companion? What if it was a Pony toy from a popular franchise?

For a while I debated over which character I should use, Twilight Sparkle or Rainbow Dash. They both fit in perfectly with certain scenes from the movie. But to make the flying/falling with style scenes make more sense, I'm leaning towards Rainbow Dash.

Thoughts?

I was looking at that villains poster and I just noticed that the manitcore and Iron Will are on it. Why? The manticore wasn't a villain. It had a thorn(Nightmare Moon) stuck in its paw that was hurting it. And Iron Will was just a self help guru. He was just a guy(minotaur) doing his job. Fluttershy was the real villain of the episode. She was the one who twisted his lessons into something they weren't meant to be. How was that Iron Will's fault?

Well, I guess it's a villains/antagonists group. Sort of like when I put Pterano in my favorite villains meme on deviantART saying that he was an antagonist, and Bushroot being sort of antagonistic himself...he's a tricky one.

They are the negative force to challenge the protagonists, but not necessarily "bad guys"
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on August 07, 2012, 12:30:00 AM
I still don't really see Iron Will or the manticore as villains or antagonists. Iron Will was just doing his job(Assertiveness training) and the manticore just had a thorn stuck in its paw. I wouldn't  say either of them were really antagonist material.

Speaking of Iron Will, it kind of irritates me how Putting Your Hoof Down tried to make it seem like he was the bad guy and that it was his fault that Fluttershy was being so mean to everyone. Again, Flutts took his lessons the wrong way. Instead of becoming assertive, she became aggressive and lashed out at everyone, including Rarity and Pinkie. None of that was Iron Will's fault. He didn't make Fluttershy lash out at her friends, she did that on her own.

If the episode was trying to paint Iron Will as a villain or antagonist, then...well it kinda failed I'm sorry to say. I actually felt a little sorry for him at the end.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on August 07, 2012, 03:42:23 AM
Me, too. It was entirely Fluttershy's issues from start to finish. Iron Will may be in-your-face, but he's no villain. Hell, he's quite reasonable when you come down to it, and even gets an idea from Fluttershy at the end:

"No means no! I'll have to remember that for my next gig!"
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on August 07, 2012, 10:11:13 AM
Maybe the ones in the villains poster are ones that were MEANT to be seen as antagonists when they first appeared?  Then again, that doesn't work in some cases.

Yeah, Fluttershy deserves to be on there more than Iron Will does. :)

Not really. I mean, how would you confine that to just one episode and then have the series go back to normal afterwards. I'm all for a little more adventure and legit villainy, but let's not go crazy in that aspect.

Just got back from Barns and Nobles, and you'll never guess what I found... MLP: FIM: A Canterlot Wedding, both parts on DVD, along with three other episodes!

I also struck more gold upon finding a double feature pack of both Cats Don't Dance AND Quest For Camelot, two films of animation that Lauren Faust had helped work on.

She actually admitted to not liking to work on Quest For Camelot, as Faust doesn't exactly like working on films trying to rip-off Disney... She also thought it didn't turn out too well, but I thought the animation of it was just lovely! ^^

Have it as an in-universe show/story. That worked for Daring Do.

Okay, tell me right now, how did this thread go 3 days without a post? :blink:

Anyways, I got the new Royal Wedding DVD in the mail today.  It has the following.

A Canterlot Wedding Part 1 & 2
Hearts and Hooves Day
Sweet & Elite
The Best Night Ever

Love is in Bloom Sing-Along (Full Version)
Hearts and Hooves Day Song Sing-Along
Coloring Pages

To be fully honest, there is one big gripe I have with the sing-along songs.  They decided to cut off a bit of the bottom of the scenes and put the text there rather than just put on the text itself, which is far more professional.

If I get the chance, I'll show you what I mean.

Well, that's all for now.

See ya later! :)

So I was reading Equestria Daily and apparently a Bollywood movie called Jatt and Juliet had a movie poster with ponies in the background http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/08/boll...l#idc-container (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/08/bollywood-film-jatt-and-juliet-invaded.html#idc-container)


Here's the same picture in higher resolution http://www.developersyouth.com/wp-content/...allpapers-2.jpg (http://www.developersyouth.com/wp-content/uploads/Jatt-and-Juliet-Movie-Frist-look-Posters-Wallpapers-2.jpg)

I just watched the trailer and it had no sign of ponies in it. Makes me wonder why they decided to add pony drawings(if they did) into the poster. If the poster is anything to go by, I guess that one of the characters might be an artist and might also be a fan of MLP.

And they're asking the Internet to vote on what the name should be... and seeing that someone was generous enough to nominate a certain main character's name... finally, seeing that said name is currently in second place...

(http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/160/c/b/land_before_time_ponies_by_rosethethief-d3ihvbg.png)

Yeah, this was actually done a loonnngggg time ago... Also, I really only use the Pony Creator whenever I get bored.

Actually, I have seen one of Pterano, Rinkus, and Sierra ponified, which I thought was pretty good; http://nightlight12.deviantart.com/art/Tri...onies-253423355 (http://nightlight12.deviantart.com/art/Trio-of-Flying-Ponies-253423355)

I've also ponified them, as well as Ozzy and Strut, but I'm not posting them here just cause it's crappy old artwork that I'm not very proud of. :cry

HURR DURR.

I met lots of fellow bronies, bought lots of stuff, and had fun. :DD

There will be a youtube video of the whole event, well, almost, they said it'll be 1 hour and 40 minutes i think. HURR it's like a movie, eh? well yeah.

Here, pictures:

Bored Pony holding a Singapore flag. I asked someone to draw that to me. Then I bought it there. It was worth it though. If you're wondering what's the cutie mark of Bored Pony, it's a " :| " yes. that emoticon. :lol

^^Last I heard, they are trying for before the end of the year to start it, but there is no guaranteed date as of yet.

In all honesty, it's torture waiting for an official date to be announced. :(

On a side note, a recent episode of another show actually referenced MLP:FiM for practically the whole episode.

One day, on our COE class...

It's our group's turn for the presentation...
when we were done with it, we gave the class some activity.

One classmate of mine told me to project my laptop into the screen, because of pony background and desktop ponies.

Later, while doing the activity, he plugged in my laptop and then... it appeared.

Suddenly the class went like, uhh cheering something like that, like, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Believe it or not, not a single negativity.
It was projected until the end of class.

Then before we left the classroom, they were like....
"PONY! PONY! PONY! PONY!"

and this. is how I roll with my section. :v

Yeah, it's rather frustrating in terms of waiting for more information regarding season 3; at one point, I heard it was supposed to air in August, but now just recently this month. :DD

Of course, I could be wrong on this, with all that false information floating around on the web these days...

Hasbro is having the fans help with the next pony toy line.  They plan to ponify a famous movie, but can't seem to choose which one.  So, we get to help.

Awesome.

You know, I've noticed that one of the problems Hasbro (the company, itself, not the production company of the show) has is COMMUNICATION with their fanbase. First they didn't tell us squat about why "The Last Roundup" was taken down and off the air and what they were doing about UNTIL AFTER THEY DID IT, and now they can't even be bothered to tell us when Season 3 will be.

What the hell, Hasbro?

A fan recently came up with a theory of how Princess Candace's "love power" actually works.  According to the theory, her power actually only works on ponies who are already in love.  It helps them work out compromises in difficult situations where the couple at hand would usually argue over it to a point where their relationship would be tarnished and difficult to repair.  Simply, it reminds them of the love they already share and that they can work out the problem together.

To be honest, I like the theory quite a bit.  It makes her power seem more likable than the writers made it out to be.  I hope it becomes cannon.  It would clear up quite a bit in the end. :)

What do you guys think?  Does the theory work for you?

That does seem like a very logical idea and theory to me.   As well as more pleasant then thinking she can force ponies to fall in love with each other.

I think it could work.
I think, from the hormonal stance of love, it adds an extra boost to all those love juices...noooot those kinds, the ones in the brain, such as oxytocin, serotonin, and all that good stuff.

Oh, and check this hilarious fic out. It's about Twilight trying to figure out just where Scootaloo came from. So far she's asked The Cakes, Spike, Pinkie Pie, Iron Will, Doctor Whooves, and Derpy Hooves; and all she's got are a bunch of random and impossible stories that's driving her crazy!

Eh, they'll get to it when they get to it.

Quote
In Adventures in the Crystal Empire, a magical empire has suddenly appeared in the arctic north of Equestria, and PRINCESS CELESTIA needs TWILIGHT SPARKLE and her friends to find a way to protect it. While her friends try to keep the Crystal Ponies occupied at the Crystal Faire, TWILIGHT SPARKLE searches for the hidden Crystal Heart that is the key to keeping their empire safe from harm!

You know, this might make some people angry and I'm sorry but I'm so sick of hearing about My Little Dashie. It is one of the most overrated stories ever written. I admit that I liked it the first time I read it but looking back, it really had a lot of problems: Little to no characterization, lack of conflict, a setting that isn't believable in the slightest and a main character who is pretty much Bella from Twilight in a male's body.

Speaking of the main character...geez! Even Eeyore would be telling this guy to cheer up. We get it. Your life sucks. Stop beating us over the head with your little woe-is-me sobfests.  I also really love this one part

Now I'll just pass the trash by, letting it blow away in the breeze or sit there and decompose. I let what's left of the "people" do their own things, since most of them don't care about anyone other than themselves. Why should I be any different?

Ironic that he thinks he's better than those people when he's doing the very same thing he condemns them of. Flawless.

We all know the story of FiM.

But what if there was an alternate universe where Twilight Sparkle didn't exist... at least, not as a mare? And what if this stallion student of Princess Celestia whom was sent to Ponyville to prepare for the return of Nightmare Moon, suddenly finds himself faced with an even bigger problem?

That problem is... the other five mares of the Mane 6 all developing a massive crush on him, and are willing to fight tooth and hoof over who will become his marefriend?

Why settle for a regular ol' katana when you can have a beam katana?

Hasbro has just teased us with a facebook post stating that they are less than 30 days away from announcing the season 3 premiere date and time.  I don't think we'll have new episodes until November, but hopefully it'll be sooner than that.

AWESOME! Love that band! I like how they base their songs on actual historic events, but it's 20% cooler with ponies. My favorite is Ghost Division; hope they make a PMV of that soon.

Tim Stuby, (one of?) this episode's layout supervisor(s?), called the episode his new favorite and said that "[he] mostly love 303 because [he] got to be [him]self on it...which is...stupid. Top Draw is also doing some amazing to plus it up" and that the "finale of last season was crazy. This one just made [him] laugh a lot and has a couple neato shots." On July 9, 2012, he said that he loved Andrea Libman's work in this episode and that "Working on it was fun fun fun." On July 15, 2012, William Anderson mentioned being "deep into" this episode. On August 18, 2012, Tim Stuby said that Jayson Thiessen would appreciate that he was drinking Scotch and watching this episode and that "Revs are killer good.Wish I could see it w/ full mix. #sosogood" and has responded to EquestriaGuy's reacting and responding by saying that "You have to have same taste as me. It's making me grin a lot tho & every now and then @AndreaLibman has a killer line/walla." "i.e. ... anyone who doesn't like it can't watch cartoons with me. Also some funny expressions" and that "Again... you must have the same sense of 'awesome' as me."

I found a very interesting legend about Lauren Faust's inspiration for MLP:FiM on another forum I visit.

Edit: it's a creepypasta.

Quote
You all have probably know about the new generation of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. It has, for one reason or another, become an overnight sensation. Whether or not you like the show yourself, you have to admit that its success is impressive.

However, it raises a question. Lauren Faust has worked on other popular shows, and has been working on her own line of toys, The Galaxy Girls. How did she wind up creating the re-make of some 80’s toy commercial instead of working on her own show ideas? It could be that she’s just nostalgic about her childhood MLP toys or something, but even then, what artist wouldn’t rather work on their own ideas?

I read this news story a few years ago. It was about 6 girls who all went to the same school, and died on the same day, November 7th, 2004. A friend of mine from N.C. sent me the article from a small local newspaper. I forgot about it until I was watching a few episodes of MLP and realized the main characters are surprisingly similar to the girls who died. I decided to look for that article again. The paper had either gotten shut down or I had misremembered the name, so I tried tracking down my old World of Warcraft buddy and asked him for the article. Turned out he happened to have the file saved to his computer, and I was right! There’s a definite connection here!

The first girl, named Samantha Gales, was obviously the inspiration for Fluttershy. A shy, introverted girl, what her classmates didn’t know was that she was constantly abused at home by her mother and stepfather. Her mother conceived her at age 15, and she blamed poor Samantha for ruining her life. This made Samantha self-conscious. When her stepfather moved in, this made the neglect worsen. Her stepfather never liked having to take care of Samantha when her mother was away, so he would lock her in the basement and leave her, sometimes for a whole day. Her mother tolerated this, and, as she grew, would hit Samantha for talking out of turn. When her half-sister was born, the abuse became considerably worse. She would be starved, forced to sleep outside, and sometimes beaten outright. Because she dressed in shabby clothes and had low self-esteem, she was often picked on by other kids at school. Her only friends were animals she would rescue, which her family would make her get rid of. She committed suicide by overdosing on valium.

The second, named Janice Walters, was always one of the popular girls. She was rich, smart, beautiful, and seemed to live the charmed life. However, her parents argued constantly and were really only together for appearances. She was held up to a high standard, which made her a perfectionist. She wanted to be a designer and live in Paris, but her parents wanted her to remain in Carolina and marry a proper man, one of good breeding and high income. For the most part, her parents ignored her. Her parents’ only concern was appearing rich and of high social standing, but in reality, her mother married her father because of money, and since he had accumulated so much debt, they had been losing money, fast. This is what got her interested in fashion initially, since she started making her own fashionable clothes to maintain the appearance of wealth. She died in a car crash, when her mother and father got into another argument over money while he was driving. Her neck was snapped on impact and she died instantly. She was clearly the inspiration for Rarity.

Then there was Alexandra Matthews. Alex was a competitive girl. She always sought to be the best at the best, especially at sports, track in particular. Her father always wanted a boy, and since her mother was declared incapable of having another child, he decided to raise her as if she was his son. In the end though, she loved her mother and father, and was more than happy to play sports with her father. She excelled at them, even. This made her popular, and by the time she was in high school, was being sought out by athletic scouts from Colleges all over the country. This made her try even harder. She had always wanted to compete in the Olympics. However, when she was 15, her mother, who had been told she could never have another child, had a son. After that, her parents didn’t pay very much attention to her, which made her more determined to succeed. She ended up pushing herself so hard at track, she neglected her friends, her grades, and even her personal health. At one point, she became so desperate, she started taking steroids. What her and her family didn’t know was that she had a minor heart condition that the steroids worsened. Since she was pushing herself so hard physically as well, she ended up collapsing during a match due to a heart complication. She died in the hospital, a few days later. In the show, Rainbow Dash seems the most similar.

The girl most similar to Applejack, Jamie Sanders, was a farm girl, just like the character based off of her. What the show didn’t include was that her farm was run down, and her family always struggling with money. She often times worked odd jobs under the table to try and help to support her family. She had many brothers and sisters, and she was the second, which meant it was up to her and her brother to take care of the “youngins”. This meant she didn’t have enough time to hang out with friends or take any extracurricular activities, or even do her homework on most nights. She had an aunt, whom her family from Manhattan was based off, who kept offering to send money to support her mother and father, but they were proud and always refused. That is until her father died from a heart attack in 2001. Her mother followed shortly after, having killed herself when she couldn’t handle the pressure of taking care of all the children. They were taken in by their then senile grandma, who was incapable of truly take care of them. Jamie herself often times helped out with other family’s yard work to keep her family afloat. She died when she fell into a wood chipper.

Pinkie Pie’s inspiration probably has the saddest story. Katherine Jackson was a foster child and moved from home to home. Her birth father killed her mother and himself in a fit of rage when she was 5, and she could never quite settle into a good home. Some of the foster families who would take her in were merely interested in the financial support adopting a child would bring, and would refuse to feed or cloth her. Even when she was in a nice home with a good family, the old memories still haunted her, breaking her fragile sanity into a million pieces. She would have nightmares of her mother’s screaming and bleeding and her father screaming for her, claiming to be after her next. By the time she was in high school, she completely snapped. She started to hallucinate and act out in class. Many of the other kids and even teachers assumed she was merely hyperactive and was trying to be funny. She would often times paint and draw and write about fantastical things, and dressed in over the top clothing. All the while her condition was getting worse and worse, the voices and images becoming more realistic and more demanding. She died when she jumped off a building, one of the voices having told her she could fly. What makes that last fact even more chilling is that Lauren originally designed Pinkie Pie to be a pegasus, as seen in her early development sketches.

The last, Twilight Sparkle’s inspiration, was an A student by the name of Cynthia Little. She was held up to a high standard from a young age. Her older brother was always getting awards for academic and athletic achievement, and she was held up to the same high standard. She ended up neglecting other facets of her life in order to make sure she got the best grades. For a while, this worked. Her parents were proud of her accomplishments and bragged to their friends about having not just one genius child, but two. That is until a local private academy for the gifted started to become interested in her, among several other advanced students. She knew that this would be the best opportunity she could have to prove herself as the perfect child. But the pressure was high. She knew that there were limited spots for new students, and she knew that there would be a test and an essay required to get in. So she became a little desperate. She studied to the point where she would hardly eat, and never sleep. As the test closed in, she panicked, and she opted to find an essay online to copy, and during the test resorted to cheating. When she was caught, her parents were horrified. She sank into a deep depression, and eventually hung herself to save herself the shame of being an imperfect daughter.

You might be wondering now why Lauren Faust would be inspired to make a sweet children’s show inspired by such depressing events. Perhaps she felt some odd need to give the girls closure, or perhaps to tell their stories in any way she could. Think about it. In the show, Fluttershy is able to take care of the animals she adores, Rarity is a successful designer with loving parents, Rainbow Dash is in fact a great athlete, Applejack has a successful farm, Pinkie Pie is happy with not a care in the world, and Twilight Sparkle was accepted into an exclusive school. Maybe, just maybe, she wanted to give the spirits of these girls what the always wanted.

And I think they’re happy.

Greetings!

A little bird told me that this was THE place to go to talk about anything My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.

I guess you can say I'm just another "closet brony" who happens to like the show and almost everything about it. *offers a brohoof to all those interested*

I was also told that this would be a nice place to put up anything fanfic related for MLP:FIM. Well, I wrote a few short fanfics a few months ago after I thought to revamp my main OC to become a citizen of Equestria(so to speak).

Anyway, here are the stories I've done so far:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559153/1/Study-Break (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559153/1/Study-Break)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559235/1/A-Lesson-on-Cosmos (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559235/1/A-Lesson-on-Cosmos)

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559186/1/Lesson-Of-The-Mind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8559186/1/Lesson-Of-The-Mind)

The first two are interactions between my OC and two of the Mane 6 characters. The last one features my OC interacting with Princess Celestia.  :smile

I have another longer fanfic in the works that would be up within the next few months, and another longish fanfic based on G1, and features some OCs I imagined as a kid(Lord know when THAT one's gonna be done  :p )

In the meantime, and in between time, enjoy what I have so far!

Ciao!  :DD

^I don't know why, but pictures like that have always bugged me.  I'm all for having a creative license and all, but that doesn't even look remotely like Princess Luna.  I know people like to throw their own style into things and not everyone can draw like they do in the show, but pictures like that always seem like a cop-out to me.  I don't know why.

Here's a quote I'm expecting from Pinkie in at least one episode.

Quote
Pinkie: Dashie and <insert new boyfriend here> sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First comes love, then comes marriage, -
Rainbow Dash: You are so dead! *Dash charges towards Pinkie*
Pinkie: *Runs away from an enraged Rainbow Dash* Then comes Dashie with a baby carriage! *Takes off at top speed.*

Seriously, I'm betting she'll say it when she finds out. ;)

We shall see. :)

By the way, here's my take on TCB:

The Conversion Bureau: A Dark In the Light (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/46958/The-Conversion-Bureau%3A-A-Dark-In-the-Light)

Yeah, it's a war story and it gets pretty violent.

On a sidenote, I noticed that TCB fics tend to be hugely stigmatized. To be fair, a lot of the early TCB fics (including the original) were just plain bad wish fulfillment self-inserts with unsubtle misanthropy. And the most prolific and famous TCB author, Chatoyance, is an absolute misanthrope with an enormous ego and obnoxious attitude.

Heh, it looks like Rainbow Dash may have some competition when it comes to sheer speed.

Great, now I have a hilarious fic idea (Equestria's an isolated country on Earth) where Felix's supersonic dive goes way off course and lands him in Equestria. There, shenanigans ensue because he's a supersonic alien who just fell from the skies at mach 1.24. And at the end, the ponies get introduced to Human aviation.

---------------

Of course, if  space diving (http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2007/06/from-the-never/) becomes a reality, Dash will be facing some real competition. According to some calculations I found, space divers reach a top speed of ~Mach 3 (2,500 mph).

I have to admit, that fanmade episode was well put together. The animation was solid, although the voiceover could use just a bit of work. But overall extremely entertaining for a fan based story.

They are actually the new types of Furby.  Basically, a remake to get them popular again.  To be honest, I don't like the new kinds.

As for the new episode, all I have to say is that November 10th can't come soon enough. :)

Also, sorry for my lack of activity on here, guys.

I've just been busy preparing for my classes and stuff.

As for the new Littlest Pet Shop T.V. series, I learned about that through Facebook, cause I follow the Hub channel on there.

But, all that aside, who isn't psyched for season 3? Only downside is that it's going to be much shorter than the first two.

I am looking forward to season 3.  To bad about the reduced episode count.  I wonder if there is a reason behind it like a movie they are working on, or if this will be the normal count from now on since they did 26 a season to get to the minimum number for syndication.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on October 21, 2012, 10:59:40 PM
I can only make a hunch as to why Season 3 is a bit shorter and came a bit later than usual.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlest_Pet_...2012_TV_series) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Littlest_Pet_Shop_(2012_TV_series))

Ashleigh Ball, Tabitha St. Germain, Nicole Oliver, Peter New, M. A. Larson, Daniel Ingram and Steffan Andrews were working on the newest reboot of Littlest pet Shop, and they play some very important roles in MLP.

Like I said, only a hunch.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

But if I remember this correctly, one of the guys behind the show Tweeted that one could compare the seasons of the show to seasons of the weather. Some are short, but they are often followed by more and LONGER seasons... *Wink*

Okay, so now that I have my schedule for work that day, here is my plan for November 10th.

Up to 24 hours before the two parter airs - There will be no exact time frame as to when I'll do this, but up to 24 hours before the premiere, I will post links to where you can go to catch EqD Live Streams of the episodes when they air.  Prior to the episodes, the streams will have a number of things pony related being shown at the time.  I'll make sure to list them so you can pick your favorite time waster. :)

During the episodes - During the 2 parter, I will be putting up SPOILER NOTES.  This will be a post that will be constantly edited throughout the episode.  So if you want to be spoiled, keep an eye on it.

Right after the episodes - Once the episodes are over, I will give my first impression review on them.

1 to 3 hours after the episodes - At this point, the YouTube versions of them should be up, so I'll make sure to post the links for them.

So, that's my whole plan before I have to head for work.  Hope you all can enjoy it.

See ya later! :D

I've been thinking about this a bit but does anyone else think Spike kind of gets treated like crap by the Mane Six? Twilight treats him like a servant, Rarity sometimes treats him like a slave(Making him dig for gems or sticking pins in his back) or even like how in Return of Harmony when Celestia sends Twilight all her friendship reports at once which puts Spike in a great deal of pain. Maybe it's just me but I always thought Spike deserved more respect than he got.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Ptyra on November 02, 2012, 02:13:03 AM
Well, I don't really think they treat him as a slave, but the makers of the abridged series "Friendship is Witchcraft" have a running joke that none of them really care about Spike...a lot.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on November 02, 2012, 02:34:34 AM
Yeah, I've seen Friendship is Witchcraft. Some of the jokes geared towards Spike can be pretty funny(The Spike-a-pult or Spike's "emasculating" bowtie for instance) but some of them can get incredibly mean spirited such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJoYq0wKc4I...ture=plpp_video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJoYq0wKc4I&list=PLC33B53C13174C0EC&index=6&feature=plpp_video)

It'll be interesting to see how they abridge Secret of My Excess. Maybe instead of Spike's greed causing him to grow, it'll be because of all the abuse he's suffered.

Anyway, back to the point, they might not all treat him like a slave but I do think there are times where they completely disregard his feelings(not intentionally mind you). Dragon Quest really showed this in the beginning with Rainbow Dash making fun of him and Rarity treating him more like a prized pet than a friend. I think that's one reason I didn't like that episode. The other reason being that we really don't learn anything about Spike, even though the episode synopsis made it sound like we would.

So Apple Bloom asks her cousin to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders and instead she decides to bully them instead? I really hope there's more to it than that because that just sounds like a generic bully episode.

You know what I want to see? A series or a movie that has a bully character but it explores why they're bullies. Bullies aren't as one dimensional as the media likes to make them out to be. Granted there are bullies who do what they do just because they like to be pricks but there are those that have other reasons for what they do: Maybe their lives at home aren't too good or they themselves are bully victims. Perhaps other kids treated them horribly and they bully others as a way of protecting themselves. I should know, I was bullied relentlessly through middle school(and part of high school) and I was even a bit of a bully in middle school. But seriously, bullying isn't as black and white as people think it is.

F--- this!

Gah, I am tired of dealing with Conversion Bureau authors and fans.

I've seen some real s---heads in the Smash Bros, PokÈmon and MLP:FiM fandom.

But Conversion Bureau beats them all by at least an order of magnitude.

I've been in the TCB fandom (writing anti-TCB stories that show Humanity battling Equestria - either alone or with allies) since May 2012 and I've encountered more bastards in that time than I have in my 20+ years combined PokÈmon and Smash Bros fandom experience.

I swear this subfandom attracts the absolute scum of MLP:FiM fans.

Post by: The Chronicler on November 09, 2012, 05:30:16 PM
Last month, I decided to resume my activity on BZPower (the largest Bionicle fan forum). I quickly noticed they had their own MLP topic, so I decided to read through the whole thing, just to see if anything was mentioned there that wasn't said here. (Despite a late start due to forum reconstruction, it's already more than twice as long as this MLP topic. :o  Yeah, I must have spent two weeks reading through that whole topic.)

The most significant find to me was that the guy who voiced Jaller in the movie "Bionicle: Mask of Light" has also voiced Shining Armor. Some people in that MLP topic were saying how Shining Armor sounded just like Jaller. I can't confirm this for myself since I still have not yet watched a single episode of this show. (For those of you who have seen the episode he appears in, perhaps you could watch that Bionicle movie and tell me what you think.)

Anyway, after reading through this MLP topic and the one on BZPower, and after reading some MLP fanfiction (including some crossovers with Bionicle), I've been thinking that maybe it might be worth a try to finally see first-hand what this enormous fandom is all about. Yes, I've been thinking about possibly watching some episodes of MLP, but not at this time. I'm not exactly certain how much free time I may have soon, so I'll wait until after New Year's before I commit to actually taking a look for myself. (In any case, I'm not even sure where to look. Can I reliably find every single episode in one place, such as YouTube?)

The reason I'd like to wait for two months is because I want to have time to think this through and be absolutely sure that this is something I should do. I'll let you know my final decision when the time comes. :unsure:

Woah! Jaller did Shining Armor  :o !? (WOW, how many years has it been since I've typed that name!? Eight?!).

I don't think it would be a bad idea to watch it. One more fandom won't hurt...well, it might hurt your brain trying to work out a three-way crossover like I'm trying to do with Doctor Who, LBT, and Dinotopia XD

SPOILER POST!!

To start, something "unknown" has returned and it has spooked Princess Celestia.  She has called in Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle for help.

EDIT 1: Turns out, the Crystal Empire was taken over by an evil king who enslaved it's citizens.  Though Celestia and Luna were able to banish the king, he had placed a curse on it that caused the place to vanish.  However, now it has returned and Celestia fears that the evil king has returned as a result.

It also turns out that this is a test for Twilight.  A test for something bigger!

Oh, and there is a song that Twilight sings. :)

EDIT 2: Shining Armor's magic is blocked by an evil force on the way to the Crystal Kingdom.  Cadance is using her magic to protect it, but she has had no sleep.  As such, her protection could easily fade.

On top of that, the citizens have amnesia.

EDIT 3: The mane six set up a fair to help the citizens remember.  However, Cadance soon falls from lack of sleep and as a result, the protection is gone and the evil king starts his takeover of the kingdom he was banished from.

Oh, and there's a song the mane six sing as they set up the fair.

EDIT 4: Okay, plenty here.

Due to how vital it is that the citizens keep their spirit up, Twilight's friends keep the fair going while Twilight looks for the Crystal Heart.

After a long search, she finds it's hiding place, but when she opens the door, she finds herself back in Canterlot and Princess Celestia tells her she has failed.

EDIT 5: Turns out, it was a trap set up by the evil king that is designed to reveal your worst fear.  Twilight counters it and reveals a stairway that goes on forever.

Meanwhile, the evil king's power continues to take over the kingdom and the citizens find out that the crystal heart they had was a fake.

Twilight makes it to the Crystal Heart but there was a trap designed by the evil king, as a result, Twilight is unable to return the Crystal Heart to Cadance.

Twilight relies on Spike to get the Crystal Heart back to Cadance.  He would've failed, if not for a daring move by Shining Armor that enabled Cadance to get it first.

Together, the citizens used their good spirit to return the kingdom back to normal and defeat the evil king for good.

Twilight passes her test and the mane six sing a remix of the first song in celebration of her passing it.

Whew!  Okay, review to come! :)

REVIEW POST!

Before I begin, I will point out that during the episode, there was a teaser showing off upcoming episodes.  Also, yes, they did reveal what is likely Rainbow Dash's new boyfriend.  However, I did not get a good look at him.

Still, I am expecting the fans to upload it to YouTube later today.

Now, as for the episode...

I was not prepared for this.  I doubt any fan was. (Hidden in-joke here.)

It's a great episode.  However, it barely even slowed down.  I'm guessing there was too much to show off in too little time, much like last season's premiere was.  Still, they were able to work well within the time restraints given.

Although I did enjoy the episode, with it all turning out to be a test for Twilight, it shows there's more going on then expected.  Something bigger.  It will keep me interested to see what season 3 has to bring.

So yeah, in short, great episode, but too fast paced.  However, the main purpose of the episode keeps you interested in what is to come.

Will give YouTube links later today.

See ya! :)

Just watched the premier on YT. Overall, it was a pretty good opening for the new season.

PROS:
*The songs
*Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie
*Rarity going ga ga for anything Crystal
*Gak
*Spike being a hero for once getting his place on a window!

CONS:
*Sombra didn't really get a whole lot of lines or history other than "HEY, I'M EVIL! HA HA HA!!!!" (And yes, I'm exaggerating).

Overall an impressive start to the season. Can't wait to see what Celestia and Luna have in store for Twilight's next stage in her studies.

8 out of 10

With weekly episodes of FiM and (For all you Halo 4 players out there) Spartan Ops coming at us for the next few months, I am a happy Brony.

Just finished watching both episodes. It's good to see the pones again.

I really liked these episodes. The songs were very fun and catchy and it was great getting to see Shining Armor and Cadence again. My favorite part was Spike finally getting his chance to be the hero. For a Spike fan like myself, it was just so satisfying after he didn't get a chance to help during the Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Chrysalis attacks.

One thing I am disappointed about though is King Sombra himself. He just really didn't feel like that much of a threat. He gets like one or two lines(which I could barely even understand, don't know if anyone else had this problem), laughs evilly, and is defeated. I would've liked more backstory for Sombra as he did have potential to be a pretty good villain. Ah well, maybe he'll return in a later season.

Another thing is that I really didn't feel too attached to the crystal ponies. Maybe if the writers had a crystal pony befriend the mane six then maybe I could have cared a bit more about them, but sadly, I just didn't.

All in all, not bad for the start of season three but it could have been a bit better.

I liked the episodes overall well.   Liked that Spike got to get a stained glass window himself & seeing more of Cadence, Shining Armor & Luna, though she didn't speak much it was still nice to have her around and looking like she is taking a part in things.  I wonder if we'll see more of the crystal ponies.  To bad we only got a brief time with the bad guy.  

I guess they have already, or will bring out crystal pony toys, including crystal pony versions of the main 6, Cadence, Shining Armor, and maybe Spike included with Twilight Sparkle.

It also looked like Spike is a good dancer, though I'm no expert on dancing.

I honestly don't understand what it is with the Brony fandom and fanfiction in general. I have never seen any other fandom place such a huge emphasis on fanfics as Bronies do. Sure, I've seen some fandoms mention fanfics but not become actual fans of said fanfic or drawing fanart/making movies/writing sequels and/or prequels to said fic.

Now aside from My Little Dashie, the only pony fics I've read have been grimdarks. I've read Cupcakes, Sweet Apple Massacre, and Pattycakes 1 and 2. I really don't see how anyone can consider these stories scary. Unsettling, perhaps, but not scary. Cupcakes was an interesting premise that fell flat when it didn't try to incorporate a story into it in any way, Sweet Apple Massacre was just too unbelievable to possibly take seriously, Pattycakes 1 was the closest to being scary since we see, in graphic detail just how much damage Fluttershy is doing to Dash's mind, and Pattycakes 2 was just stupid. It was nothing more than an over-the-top Saw parody.

I've never read The Conversion Bureau but if these fans are as crazy as you say they are, then maybe I should steer away from it.

Anti-TCB stories (Humans battle the ponies or if the conversion is depicted as a genocide with the instigators being in the wrong) tend to have much more sane fans.

It's things like what you mention in TCB that is so OOC with the ponies and the storyline (Out of plot?---noooo, sit down, puns! Down!) that make me want to be really super careful with my two 'big' Doctor Who fan fictions :/ . It's kind of unsettling that way.

And it makes me want sane reviews who can tell me what needs to be tweaked.

◦The use of a magic mirror pond to create clones is similar to the idea of the G1 comics' baby ponies being "born" from adult ponies who would look into a magic mirror.
◦Also, a face shown by Pinkie Pie may bring some memories of the series before this one. Cue reactions of horror from Fluttershy and Rarity.

Post by: Animeboye on November 14, 2012, 09:16:09 AM
I'm getting really sick of the constant Rainbow Dash bashing that goes on in this fandom. Why is it that every time Rainbow Dash does something "negative" she gets crucified for it while when a character such as Fluttershy does something mean, no one cares? I've heard Bronies refer to Dash as a "jerk", "bitch", "asshole", etc. over things like enjoying the attention she gets or in the latest episode, having a jousting match with Fluttershy.

Now I'm not saying that Rainbow Dash is a perfect character. None of the rest of the Mane Six are either and that's why we love them. And if Dash is such a jerk as Bronies like to say she is, why did she:

.Save Rarity from falling to her death in Sonic Rainboom
.Check up on Pinkie in Party of One
.Stand up for her friends when Gilda was being mean to them in Griffon the Brush Off
.Suggest that she and the rest of the Six go find Applejack and bring her back to Ponyville in The Last Roundup
.Help Fluttershy try to overcome her insecurities when they are the rest of the Pegasai were practicing in Hurricane Fluttershy
.Give credit to Fluttershy in the very same episode
.Help defend Equestria not once, not twice, not three times but FOUR times

That's not to say there weren't moments where I thought Dash was going too far. The way she treated Tank in May the Best Pet win was horrible but that didn't make me hate her. I think people really need to cut her some slack. She's not as bad as everyone likes to say she is.

^^It's what I like to call the "Tomboy Curse".  This is from the understanding that tomboys tend to have more "boyish" traits in their personality than most girls.  Because of this, those who are unfamiliar with the tomboy concept see them as "jerks" when these boyish traits in their attitude or personality show up, regardless of how much good they do.

Furthermore, all tomboys suffer from it.

It happened with Cera in LBT.
It happened with Misty in Pokemon.
It happened with Buttercup from Powerpuff Girls
It happened with the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers: Mystic Force (Seriously, with that one they let you know right off the bat she's a tomboy with her stating "I hate pink." in the first episode before she gets her powers.  How ironic it is that she becomes the pink ranger that season.)

It is just simple misunderstanding.  For most of them, they'll stop the whole calling her a jerk thing once they understand what makes a tomboy unique and fascinating.

Until then, you have to sadly put up with it.

That was an awesome analysis.
And yeah, people probably did under estimate Sombra. What makes him different from the other villains is that he doesn't waste time.
In a way, he's a bit like Sauron. He doesn't NEED to have a lot of screen time to know he's scary. Just knowing that his power is looming is scary enough.

What do I want to talk about? Anything but The Conservation Bureau. Like Animeboye, I have no interest in the fic, and I'm perfectly content to just ignore it's existance.

To be honest, WeirdRaptor, I just don't have much of an interest in fanfics period. It's just hard for me to take fanfics seriously when most of them either A) are Yaoi/yuri fics. B) Have the original cast not even act like themselves C) Disregard canon or D) Don't even attempt to tell a story.  The only fanfics I've gotten some enjoyment out of have been troll fics like Half Life: Full Life Consequences or Doom: Repercussions of Evil. And that's only because they're so bad they're hilarious.

Now I'm not saying all fanfics are bad. I'm sure there are some quality fics out there but the ones I've read really haven't impressed me.

Um...the fact that thinking King Sombra is a pitiful villain might be a little bit on the overlooking side? That there's more to his appearance that we thought?
While I thought he was a little bad, I wasn't in "analysis mode" at the time. And then I saw someone's critical analysis on him and started thinking "Wow, he's good at what he does!"

Sombra served his purpose to the plot. Not every villain needs to have a deep backstory or rich personality to be a threat. The writers needed a threatening PRESENCE to get the story going and that's all Sombra really needed to be. Sure, Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Crystalis all had more personality and development, but they're all different characters and they were designed in such a way that development of their characters was necessary. Sombra just needed to be big and menacing.

He basically was a personification (ponification?) of the failure that Twilight was afraid of

Yep yep yep! Couldn't agree more.

One thing people who were wishing for a deeper villain need to realize is that this episode was Twilight being put to the ultimate test, not some quirky villain. With 22 minutes per episode to tell this two parter, they had to keep a strict focus on something. The writers made the right call keeping it on the good ponies. Besides, we already have Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Crystalis.

SPOILER POST!!

We start off with Pinkie Pie trying everything with her friends.  With us knowing her, surprisingly, she gets exhausted as a result.

EDIT 1: After Fluttershy helps Pinkie recover, Applejack and Rainbow Dash both invite Pinkie to do something and they're both at the same time.  As such, Pinkie tries to get herself faster, but Twilight tells her that the only way she could pull off her problem would be to be at two places at once.  From that, Pinkie remembers an old story.

Out of all the places, the magical pond is located in The Everfree Forest.  On top of that, the clones only retain a certain personality and not a full memory.

Afterward, Fluttershy invites the new clone to a tea party.  The clone, who was supposed to join Applejack, freaks out and meets up with the real one, who is hanging with Rainbow Dash.

The two return to the pond and clone themselves.  The new clones get carried away and clone over and over.

The clones cause massive chaos everywhere and the citizens go to Twilight to get help.  She finds the book about the legend with a spell to bring the clones back.  The catch though is that if you can't tell the real one apart, you might get rid of that one as a result.

Twilight comes up with a test to tell which one is the real one.  The test, watching paint dry. (Yes, the least fun thing in the world.) The fakes easily get distracted and are set back while the real one keeps her eyes on the paint just to pass.

We end with Pinkie giving the lesson she learned and Twilight blocking the entrance to the magical pond for good.  Pinkie's friends want to celebrate having the real one back, all with different ideas.  Pinkie though decides to celebrate with a well deserved nap!

WHEW!  Done!

On to the review.

REVIEW POST!

Fun episode is fun!  It's a perfect one for Pinkie.  It's just really an enjoyable filler.  The real icing on the cake for the rapid bronies is the many cameos in this.  I can't name them all, but I will tell you to keep an eye out for a certain pony from Canterlot.

So yeah, if you have time to waste and just want something fun to watch, give this one a look.

Someone else take care of the YouTube post please.  I won't have time for it.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on November 21, 2012, 01:29:30 PM
So far I've guessed that:

1. Babs Seed would have a bad girl look to her

2. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon would be involved/Babs would befriend them

This is how I bet the episode's going to end: Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara are going to do something terrible to the CMC(make them cry for instance) and it's going to make Babs realize just how terrible she's been to Apple Bloom and her friends. She's going to stand up to Diamond Tiara and she and Apple Bloom will either become friends or they'll be on better terms with one another.

Also I bet Babs will have a valley girl accent.

Over the last few days, I've been thoroughly searching fimfiction.net for all of the MLP/Bionicle crossovers there are (I've found less than a dozen so far). While I was in the middle of that search earlier this week, I got sidetracked by a recent fanfic (unrelated to my search) that was featured and I found it to be quite interesting.

Hello, Sedna (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/62921/Hello%2C-Sedna)

I won't spoil anything, but I will say that, the way I see it, it kinda reminds me of an Arther C. Clarke short story.
(What can I say? I love science fiction, especially when it's in space.)

The problem I have with Bab's voice is that it just sounds kind of weird. She doesn't really sound like a kid to me.

Also, I'm a little torn about tomorrow's episode. On the one hand, Babs does seem like a pretty interesting character but on the other hand it feels like this might end up being the My Little Pony After School Special. I've seen plenty of bully episodes in the past and none of them have ever really felt different from one another. Who knows? Maybe this will be the rare, non-generic bully episode. I sure hope so.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Ptyra on November 23, 2012, 02:32:29 PM
From the preview, it seemed to me that Babs was being pressured by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon into bullying them. So it looks to me like there's going to be a peer pressure center to this episode as well
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on November 23, 2012, 03:24:18 PM
I wouldn't say she was really pressured. More like she decided to join the "cool kids". I wonder if Babs might have been bullied while she was in Manehattan.

Maybe this episode won't be that bad. If the clip was anything to go by, maybe this'll be the first bully episode to actually give bullies more depth than just being douchebags.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on November 23, 2012, 06:44:58 PM
I never really had a problem with Gilda. She was a good character in the sense that she wasn't supposed to be likable. Babs...well I can't say too much about her right now since her episode hasn't aired yet. Maybe she'll be a good character, maybe she won't. Besides I never said I disliked Babs. I think her character design's pretty cute. I just don't like her voice.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Ptyra on November 23, 2012, 06:52:28 PM
Also in regards to Babs, this seems like a much bigger bully episode than Gilda was. While Gilda was a bully, the focus was more on the value of relationships between old friends and new friends, and expectations of them meeting. As Rainbow Dash pretty much said "If you can't treat my new friends nicely, it's over between us"

This one is really, truly about bullying and you could see what Babs was doing to harass the CMC in the song. Gilda was just mean spirited in general and, except for the antic with Granny Smith, you could say it was probably in her nature to steal the apple or yell at Fluttershy for bumping into her (yes, I had to bring that up, but it was a good example), or being a jerk to Pinkie, probably out of jealousy that Rainbow has other friends. Babs is deliberately being nasty...maybe out of pressure from the other two girls, but we'll have to see.

It was more the hypocrisy towards the whole matter that annoyed me. Awhile back I had posted about how I thought it was hypocritical that Fluttershy fans wanted to kill Gilda for making her cry yet Fluttershy made Rarity and Pinkie cry and no one had a problem with it. The way I see it, what Gilda did was mean but what Fluttershy did was cruel. I mean, attacking her friends' passions, the very things that make them who they are is, in my opinion a lot worse than getting roared at.

Also, what's the deal with people hating on Rainbow Dash for the jousting match with Fluttershy? So what, if Rainbow Dash does even the slightest "negative" thing, then she's a terrible pony but if Fluttershy does the same thing then she's...not? I don't get it.

I'm sure this entire post has just been me reiterating the same things I've said before but the hypocrisy of Fluttershy fans just irks me a little(I still like her though).
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 24, 2012, 04:27:44 AM
Oh, I see. Though, to be fair, Gilda was utterly unrelentant of her actions. At least Fluttershy was devestated when she realized she went too far.

Yes, the Dash-bashing was ridiculous, on the other hand.

SPOILER POST!

We start with Applebloom freaking out about what to wear as she wanted to make a good first impression with her cousin.  Applejack tries to calm her down and tells her that their cousin doesn't have a cutie mark.  After hearing this, Applebloom freaks out, telling Applejack to get a move on, leaving her with a messy room.

Edits to come! :)

EDIT 1: Applebloom invites Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to meet Babs.  They invite her to join the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but she seems rather hesitant to do so.  The CMCs show her the new float they made for an upcoming parade, but that's when Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon show up.  After the bullies tease them a bit, Babs joins the bullies of her own free will.  On top of that, she ruins the float.

EDIT 2: We now get a music montage of how much of a bully Babs has become.  They then find that Babs and the bullies have taken over the club house and so the CMCs decide to get her back by humiliating her at the parade.

They build a float that's bobby-trapped.  The three of them then trick Babs into getting into the bobby-trapped float.  Applejack then finds the three and tells them of how bad Babs is bullied in Manehatten for not having her cutie mark and how she came to Ponyville to get away from it all.  The CMCs then feel sorry for her and realize how much of a bully they've become.

EDIT 3: The three race to catch up with the float and hitch a ride with Pinkie's float to catch up.  After crashing Pinkie's float, they finally catch up just as the booby-trapped float goes over the edge of a cliff.  They jump in and save Babs, going over the edge and landing in a mud hole themselves.

After that, they confess to Babs and apologize while getting cleaned up by Applejack, who tells them they could've avoided all this if they came to her in the first place.

The CMCs have Babs join their club (after a long speech by Sweetie Belle that was written by Scootaloo) and make her the leader of their Manehatten branch.

Upon her leave, the bullies show up and start making fun of the CMCs.  Babs then defends the CMCs and trick the bullies into a mud-hole.  The episode ends with Applejack not get the kids dialect these days as the CMCs call her a "Bad Seed", but in a good way.

Okay, review to come!

REVIEW POST!!

Whew!  Do you know how hard it is to do spoiler posts within a time limit?  I may have to consider giving up on them.

Anyways, this was a good episode.  One worth watching.  I did enjoy the rock-styled song in the episode.  Plus the storyline kept me interested.

It is an interesting concept that shows that some bullies are born from being bullied themselves and just want it to stop.  However, I fear that some may find it to be a bit shallow, but I believe it does give a very good lesson in the end.

So yeah, a well done episode with a good lesson, but one that might be a bit shallow to some.

YouTube post for song and episode later today.

Looks like I was worried about this episode for nothing. I just finished watching it and I have to say that this so far my favorite episode of season 3. It was nice getting to see a bully episode that actually gave the bully a reason for being one.

I actually felt kind of bad for Babs. Like her I used to get bullied and to make myself feel better, I would also bully other kids. Also I never told anyone about my being bullied.

@Pokeplayer, I'm not sure why someone would find the lesson "shallow". I think it's a great lesson and one that's never really been touched upon. Not all bullies are scumbags that like to hurt others. Many bullies are victims too and bully others to protect themselves. I think it's a lesson everyone, not just kids need to learn.

So other childrens' misery made you feel better, Animeboye? Those are exactly the kinds of kids that used to bully me. I'm seriously having to make an effort to remain civil here after reading what you posted. I'm sorry, but that's the case. Bullying at school is one of my big berserk buttons. Please, oh please, tell me you regret your actions.

I find it hard to sympathize with ANY bullies no matter what their reason was, since the ones I had to put up with went well above and beyond the call of duty to make my life miserable (I ended having to pay for a library book they shredded because it was "a nerd book"). I eventually developed rather...violent methods of dealing with them once it was made clear the adults weren't going to do anything about it.

Dude, relax. This was all in middle school that this happened. Of course I feel bad about it. I've done a lot of things in my life that I regret.

I don't know what things were like for you when you were a kid but for me, I did have a lot of people who bullied me. Some of the people who picked on me, I would actually go on to become friends with(or at least acquaintances) others just left me alone after awhile. I don't hold anything against the people who bullied me anymore because I'll never see them again. I don't know what they're doing and I really don't care either.

Nowadays I don't try to start shit with people unless they start shit with me. For instance, I have a friend(who right now I see as more of an acquaintance) who has talked crap about me and my older half-brother. He's made fun of me for making simple mistakes, made fun of my niece who, at the time, was only a month old, laughs at my brother for being a Harry Potter fan(which is ironic because my "friend" is a Capcom fanboy), and earlier this year, claimed that it would be funny if my cat got run over(I named my cat Kenny; I'm sure you know where this is going).  I'm not even kidding about the cat thing. He really did say that.

I really don't have a problem with anyone personally. If you're cool with me, then I'm cool with you. If you want to start something with me, then we'll have a go.

Yeah. When I was younger, I was a much different person than I am now. I was a huge problem child growing up. So much so that my parents even threatened to send me to boot camp in eighth grade. I also used to have a very bad temper. Now, I still have a bit of a temper but I'm a lot calmer than I was.

Nowadays I can't stand seeing people get hurt/mistreated. I have an animation teacher, really nice guy, and yet he might end up losing his job because of what some kids have been saying about him. I'm going to be talking to the dean about it next week so I hope I'll be able to do something.

Anyway, why am I talking about this? Let's get back to discussing the episode.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 24, 2012, 09:52:28 PM
Well, the episode is related to bullying, so a few ancedotes from people who watched it were bound to come to the surface.

I hope you can save that guy's job.

Oh, man December 8th?! I'm going to be watching the LotR Marathon then! Guess I'll have to watch Sleepless in Ponyville on the 9th. :(

Either that or on the 8th right after you get home from your LOTR marathon, though I"m sure you'll be exhausted and will go to bed.


It may be good to tell a parent, teacher, older sibling, ect about being bullied, teased, ect, but sometimes it does not good.  That is half the reason I quit high school when I did way back in the 80's.  Though I got a ged years later.

Post by: Animeboye on November 24, 2012, 10:24:36 PM
Well, Weirdraptor, it would be great if I could save his job but unfortunately, I'm not sure I'll be able to do that. He's already made up his mind about leaving and quite honestly, after seeing how most of my class treats him, I don't blame him.

My teacher used to work at Disney. He's worked on movies like The Little Mermaid(he was the one who drew Ariel) and he's done some Winnie the Pooh shorts. He's also worked with Don Bluth on movies like Secret of NIMH and I think he's worked on American Tail too. He's helped me come along so much on my art in the eight, almost nine weeks I've been in his class and seeing him and his work get disrespected like this really pisses me off.

Maybe I can't save his job and I'm not going to force him to stay if he doesn't want to but at the very least I want to try to clear his name.

Enjoy your Lord of the Rings marathon. And if/when you see The Hobbit, let me know how it is because I might go see it(it comes out on my birthday).

I will. I will also be seeing The Hobbit, Film 1.

There's only one thing I'm concerned with and I'm hoping it doesn't show up.

Well, we best be ready for next week.  Trixie returns to get her revenge on Twilight.  Yep, the blue coated unicorn I hate with a passion returns. (Seriously, I don't get EqD's obsession with her.)

Just be warned, it'll be difficult for me to avoid bashing her during any of my posts that day.  Here's hoping I can hold back.

Post by: LBTDiclonius on November 25, 2012, 02:59:52 AM
I'm actually REALLY excited for the one where Trixie shows up. Yeah, she was a BIG witch, but she's an interesting character. I'm really wondering how she'll beat Twilight in a magic duel though.

When the Apple Family Reunion comes on, I'm hoping for Braeburn, I have no idea why, but I'm hoping for it. And Babs too. I hated her, I wanted to strangle her, but, in the end, I liked her. Hey, we might even see Applejack's parents. If that comes along, a whole lot of fanon stories will be destroyed.

Magic duel time! If Trixie wins without cheating, I'll be really surprised. After all, who knew that underneath that illusionist was a powerful mage. But Trixie's probably more likely to fight dirty - not that that's wrong or anything. After all, fighting dirty a staple of fight scenes.

I wonder what the aseop is. Don't be a sore loser? A competition isn't a license to discard your manners? You can compete with someone and still remain friends?

As for EQD's Trixie obessesion, it's author appeal. Sethisto's a huge Trixie fan.

-------------

On a darker note, the fandom honestly depresses me sometimes. I have two stories on FimFiction and it's a bit disheartening to see so many misanthropic stories and people. Wow, way to pervert the show's message.

Sorry fr double posting, but what are your thoughts on this post I saw on another message board:

Quote
I actually would have let the CMC have their personal pound of flesh only to choke on it. Frankly, there were no angels in this episode. Everyone was wrong. Babs Seed was wrong for venting her frustration on the CMC and trying out do Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon in bullying them. The CMC were wrong for retaliating. Applejack was wrong for not telling the CMC Babs Seed was bullied at home. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were for being the little assholes they are.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on November 25, 2012, 10:20:48 PM
I assume Applejack didn't think it important to mention Babs being bullied back at home.  Though I'm not sure why she didn't mention maybe she'd like to join their group if they would let her, or something like that.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on November 25, 2012, 11:46:27 PM
I think it's like you said. Applejack probably just didn't see a need to tell the CMC about Babs' past. In fact does she even know about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's bullying of Apple Bloom and her friends? If not, maybe that's another reason she didn't bother to tell them: she probably didn't think that the CMC were going through the same thing Babs was.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 25, 2012, 11:52:28 PM
I don't think there's any way Applejack could have known what would happen even if she does know about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

Well if Twilight gets banished for losing, then I doubt she's going to leave because Trixie beat her and she's upset about it. Unless you were referring to Trixie and meant to type sore winner?

I think the lesson will probably be something like "Just because somepony beats you at your own game doesn't mean you're not good at what you do". Assuming that Trixie doesn't cheat during her duel with Twilight.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on November 26, 2012, 03:41:29 AM
She will. Twilight is a ridiculously powerful and talented unicorn. Way out of Trixie's league. She has as much chance of beating Twilight fairly as an Uwe Boll film has of winning an oscar.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 26, 2012, 03:04:44 PM
Seeing as how it's pretty much been confirmed that movie theaters are cannon, I guess it won't be so far-fetched for me to make a "Night at the Movies" sort of fanfiction deal, where I give out the reaction of certain characters while they watch certain movies.

So with that in mind, what movie genres do you think the cast likes the most?  There's bound to be some great variety here obviously, but I need some information of what they could like and dislike.

So, what do you all think?

Pinkie is obviously for comedy.
I could definitely see Rarity go for romance.
Dashie would definitely enjoy the Action and Adventure genre.  Maybe even enjoy Kung-fu movies.

The rest for me are tough to place them with.  Any ideas?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on November 26, 2012, 04:49:44 PM
Twilight may like something historical.  

Spike maybe anything with dragons in it, who are not bad guys I'd guess.  

Fluttershy may find most movies scary or way to loud if the music is done like currently, but maybe comedies or something scary like that, and only certain kinds of comedy.

Without looking at the spoiler clip, my guess is that Trixie's new necklace has certain magical powers, and that is her cheating method to beat Twilight.

Then again, what do I know?  Perhaps she's just practiced since.  However, I'm doubting that. :)

I think Rarity might be partial to Gone with the Wind, personally. Mostly for the romance and conflict.

My Little Pony G1 Cartoons All-Encompassing Review:

Hello, ladies and gentlecolts, WeirdRaptor here. This is my new text review series for the My Little Pony G1 Cartoons. Al inspired me with his reviews, so I am. Now, this is not going to be a rip-off of his work. It will be my own. So let’s get started. This first review is going to critique what I thought of the entire 80s G1 continuity (such as the continuity was) as a whole, and then I’m going to dive into reviewing individual episodes.

This is the very first animated incarnation of My Little Pony. It was set in a fantasy world called, Ponyland, or Dream Valley (no two writers could decide whether the former was a part of the latter, or if the latter was a part of the former). Anyway, wherever the heck it is, all the stories are placed within it…somewhere. The basic framing composition of the series was always the same, but it worked.

It went something like this: Magical sapient ponies live idyllic lives in their home, first Dream Castle and later Paradise Estate, and frequently go on adventures to save the latest victimized one shot character from the latest villain. The nature of these adventures (oddly) usually involved the villain having ambitions to either destroy Ponyland/Dream Valley, or change it so fundamentally as to render it desolate for everyone else. They were often helped by a mushroom-themed gnome named the Moochic and his beleaguered assistant, Habit. A handful of episodes focus not on averting the latest Apocalypse, but on more mundane matters, such as using your imagination for fun, scavenger hunts, taking care of stray animals in need, dealing with bullies, and mending political ties following the catastrophic Ice Cream War II (Hey, don’t look at me that way! A friend of mine lost both his legs in that war!).

There were 65 episodes in all. 16 were multipart serials, most of which were either 2-4 parts long with one Ten Episode Pilot. There were only 9 standalone episodes.

Some technical aspects of the series: its continuity tended to be “less than strict”-to-non-existent. Also, the animation was cheap, animation errors were in abundance, the characters’ faces would sometimes just look weird because of this, but it was good enough to get its job done. There were some inspired moments in design that led to creative settings, backgrounds, and character designs.

The writing was as uneven as hell, ranging from decent to serviceable to “Oh my God, somebody actually wrote that and they actually got an actor to say it”.

The voice acting was on par with the rest of the show. Some of the voice actors really knew what to do with their characters, while others just sounded awful. The Baby Ponies in particular were a big offender on having annoying voices, what with adult actresses trying way to hard to sound cutesy and young. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic does young pony voices right, by casting actual kids. Oddly, the human children featured in the series were voiced by actual kids, but the Baby Ponies weren’t. Figure out that logic behind that one.

In all, when the show was at its best, it was a solid, fun watch. And when it was bad, you had Miss Piggy wannabes and their Dog-Bird…things from Jersey, attempting villainy, by GASP! cutting ponies’ hair! Yeah…this show could get out there sometimes. Did I mention Miss Piggy Wannabe’s powers were to turn things to glass, and her Achilles Heel was the destruction of her cape?
In all, it was a decent show and a fun one. If you like My Little Pony and you’re not too turned off by the overly sugary look of the show, I’d recommend it.

Parental Warning: The overt strangeness and sometimes, frightening, nature of the villains and the effect they have on the ponies and their environment has been known to be a rife source of nightmare fuel for some of the wee ones. If you’re hoping for something along the lines of G3, this is not for you.

Objective Vote: 6/10. Subjective Vote: 7.5/10.

NOTE: Skipping the spoiler post due to too much going on in one episode.

Note 2: This review contains spoilers.

REVIEW POST!

Wow!  Just wow!

Yeah, I will say that I still hate Trixie after all this.  Not as much, but still do.  I think she's learned her lesson for now.

Just so you all know, Pinkie has hardly any lines in this episode due to her mouth literally being taken away.  Yep, she had her mouth taken away, which is sad, really.  She's just not the same without her mouth.

Also, I was right that Trixie was using that necklace of her's to cheat with.  However, it was also corrupting her, apparently.  It seemed she was somewhat different after it was removed and the effects wore off.  Plus the way Twilight won was pretty good.  Pretty much using the secrets real life magicians use.  I was quite fooled during that time.  Though why there was always a puff of smoke did make a part of my mind think something was up.

I did like the call backs to the Parasprite Episode.  Though seriously, those things are dangerous.  No one should be able to summon them on a whim.  Not even Twilight.

Still, in all, it was a good episode and one worth watching.  I think from here Trixie will be reduced to cameos, if anything, which I can accept.  Also, hopefully the ridiculous Trixie obsession will die down now.

YouTube links to come!

See ya later! :)

Okay, so for the next one we finally... finally... FINALLY get a Scootaloo-centered episode.

According to the synopsis, the CMCs go on a trip with Rainbow Dash and the ghost stories they tell give Scootaloo nightmares.

So, from this information alone, what do you think it's going to be like?

Give your thoughts. :)

I've got other thing to take care of, so I'll answer later.

Hey guys, turns out that Magic Duel was originally slated for Season 2.

For anyone that's interested, this is where I've been getting my full quality 1080p MLP episodes.  It's an unlisted video and hasn't been taken down in over a year.  

http://youtu.be/naLRtgvyXeA (http://youtu.be/naLRtgvyXeA)

I've been using this since the one website that hosted the episodes got taken down by Hasbro.  Which if you remember was before season 2 even started.  It should be safe for a long time to come.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 08, 2012, 12:11:13 PM
Note: SPOILERS in this REVIEW!

First off, Checkers is Cannon and matches don't exist in MLP:FiM.  On top of that, Luna actually has the power to enter dreams.  Yes, Luna appears in this episode.  You can stop going crazy.  Oh, and Rarity still packs too much.  Even for a camping trip.

Boy, Scootaloo sure idolizes Rainbow Dash to the point where she wants to be as fearless as she believes RD to be.

The problem about this episode is, despite it being centered around Scootaloo, we don't get to know anything new about her.  We already knew that Scootaloo idolizes Rainbow to the point of obsession.  So it's nothing new that Scootaloo would want to be fearless in front of her.

It was nothing more than pointless filler.  So, that's pretty disappointing.  It was a chance to get to know this filly after so long, but it looks like those dark Scootaloo stories from bronies will continue.

So, good episode, but it's just pointless filler.

Will post the YouTube links later today.

See ya later! :)

Although I did enjoy this episode and am glad my favorite Cutie Mark Crusader finally got her own episode, I do have some issues with it.

For one thing, and I agree with Pokeplayer on it, we don't learn anything new about Scoots. We still don't know why she has such an unhealthy obsession with Rainbow Dash or why she can't fly. Is she really crippled or is she a late bloomer?

Also, Luna can enter dreams now? Uh...what? So she's Freddy Krueger? When could she do that? If Luna can enter pony's dreams at night, does that mean Celestia can enter their dreams if they're sleeping during the day? It was nice that Luna finally got something to do but her appearance felt really shoehorned in. It didn't  feel necessary.

I liked the episode. It did have some good moments(I really wanted to see what the inside of Rarity's tent looked like).

It was nice that Scootaloo got her own episode focused on her, though I'd have liked to learn more about her as well.   Didn't know that Luna could enter dreams.  Unusual it's not been mentioned or shown before, but at least she got something to do this episode, though it wasn't a big part.

Recap: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic S3 E7: Wonderbolt Academy  
AT&T U-verse's synopsis from FYI Television: Rainbow Dash can't believe her luck when she gets an exclusive invitation to enroll at Wonderbolt Academy, but soon she is wondering whether she is really cut out for the school and whether someone else would be a better fit.

M.A. Larson has joked or trolled that Patrick R "will only think its [sic] 'meh'" and has responded to Patrick's subsequent confusion by saying that "people wanted spoilers, so I let them know how you are going to feel about ep7. Not your favorite, but not bad either. :)" Tim Stuby did not work on this episode.

So has anyone read the first IDW MLP comic? I got the Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle covers.

The artwork in the comic is pretty good and the story has been nicely set up although I do think a bit more story would have been good. Also, Pinkie Pie acting as a zombie=Best. Thing. Ever!

Looking forward to the next one which is supposed to be out December 19th.

So Wonderbolt Academy has been leaked early. To watch or not to watch...that is the question. Hmm...

EDIT: So I watched the episode. Pretty good. Merriweather Williams seems to be getting better at writing(She still has a long way to go though).

I hate to say this since she's my second favorite pony after Rainbow Dash but I thought Pinkie was really freakin' annoying in this episode. None of the scenes she was in were funny and they just made me want to strangle her and yell at her to shut up. In fact, I haven't really enjoyed much of Pinkie at all this season. She used to be a pony who, despite being silly, was still resourceful and intelligent in her own way. She was still capable of seeing problems and finding ways to resolve them(Gilda, the Parasprite infestation) Now, she's just an idiot who babbles on and on and on and tries way too hard to be funny.

I hope Pinkie's character improves in later episodes because so far, this has been her at her absolute worst.

Okay, I promised screenshots, but apparently Mediafire is having problems uploading files.  So, this post will be edited with all the screenshots I had planned later.

Anyways...

REVIEW WITH SPOILERS POST!!

So, in this episode Rainbow Dash gets accepted into the Wonderbolts Academy.  You can think of it as the Army for Pegasi.  Yes, the episode is reminiscent of the army cartoons I saw as a child.  Right down to "the general who won't take any crap" and said general giving out ridiculous exercise regimens.

Previous cameos include Spitfire, who is the general that won't take any crap and gives out those ridiculous exercise regimens, and the muscle bound pegasus stallion with tiny wings from Hurricane Fluttershy.  Yeah, he's actually a Wonderbolts fan.  Go figure. :)

The plot seems to mainly revolve around Rainbow Dash being teamed up with a mint-colored pegasus named Lightning Dust.  Think of this newcomer as a more cocky and jerky Rainbow Dash.  The two are very similar in terms of personality and flight abilities. (Even matching Rainbow Dash in a 200-lap race.) It's just that Lightning Dust likes to push herself more.  Which will become important later.

Anyways, I like the Wonderbolt Trainee uniforms, though I'm surprised they had one that fit the muscle bound pegasus stallion.

My favorite device they used was the Dizzatron, which is meant to simulate spin-outs in flight.  Rainbow Dash and Lightning Dust's scores in this are very close in this one. (Rainbow Dash's score being slightly better.) It's just that Lightning Dust asks for it to be set to maximum.  So, it's no wonder she didn't do as good as Rainbow Dash.

I kind of liked the idea that Rainbow Dash had to earn the leader role.  It helped flesh her out more and showed that she deserves to be a Wonderbolt.  Also, Lightning Dust is given the leader role between the two because she likes to push herself more.

The episode also brought out a very important lesson that, while it is important for you to be the best at what you can do, it should not be done at the expense of others.  This is Lightning Dust's major flaw.  Though she wants to be the best, she doesn't care about others or how her actions might harm them, as demonstrated when she uses a tornado to get rid of the clouds.  One that almost killed Rainbow Dash's friends.

Which lead to one of the most epic "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!" scenes ever (Will be up on YouTube in no time.  Trust me.) and Rainbow Dash demonstrating how you can save non-pegasus ponies with clouds.

Rainbow Dash is so upset about how the Wonderbolts can allow someone like Lightning Dust to get away with something like that that she quits right in front of Spitfire, and do you know how she responds to that just before Rainbow Dash leaves?

Spitfire: How dare you storm out of my office without giving me a chance to respond!  The Wonderbolts are looking for the best flyers in Equestria.  But you were right, being the best shouldn't come at the expense of our fellow ponies.  It's not just about pushing ourselves.  It's about pushing ourselves in the right direction.  You've shown your capable of doing just that.

She then takes away Lightning Dust's leader badge and banishes Lightning from the Wonderbolts Academy. (In just two swift motions I might add.) Spitfire then gives said leader badge to Rainbow Dash.

So yeah, Rainbow Dash is now permanently in the Wonderbolts Academy and we'll see if anything develops from that.

The one major flaw of this episode was Pinkie Pie.  I understand it's important to be close to your friends and all, but this was seriously too much, though I wouldn't be surprised if RainbowPie/PinkieDash fans saw it differently.

If it weren't for her, I'd consider the episode one of my favorites.

Wow!  Never thought I'd put in so much!

See ya later! :)

Recap: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic S3 E10: Spike at Your Service
AT&T U-verse's synopsis from FYI Television: Just as Spike is about to be gobbled up by hungry Timberwolves, he is saved by Applejack; Spike feels the need to repay Applejack and is soon offering a little too much assistance on the farm in order to fulfill the "Noble Dragon Code."

I just looked at the latest comments from EqD about the episode and, as I expected, the tomboy haters are attacking Spitfire.

See?  First Rainbow Dash, then Babs Seed and now Spitfire.  Yep!  The Tomboy Curse strikes again! -_-

EDIT: Just ignore them.  Do as Spitfire commands below and you'll have a less stressful life.

I dunno.  I didn't have any problems with Pinkie Pie in this episode.  She wasn't too annoying and at the same time was pretty funny in a few places.  

As for the episode, MLP just keeps getting more and more awesome.  The characters keep getting fleshed out more and more and we learn more about Rainbow Dash and the others.  I can't wait for the next episode! :D

Well, even though we just had Episode 7, next up is Episode 9.  Yep!  We get another year of an episode airing out of order.  Are they doing this on purpose?

Anyways, the next episode is Apple Family Reunion.

Let's hope to God that the writers are smart enough to do the right thing with the question of the whereabouts of Applejack's parents. (That is IF they are brought up at all.) Otherwise, there's going to be serious backlash from the brony community.

Anyways, due to my schedule, I won't be able to give a review next week. (Unless there's an unexpected leak again.)

See ya later! :)

From what I've read on the MLP Wiki, Apple Family Reunion is now apparently episode eight.

Also, I wouldn't hold my breath on us discovering what happened to Applejack's parents. After all, Dragon Quest was going to be about Spike learning about his past but it instead ended up being the My Little Pony After School Special.

I hope Babs shows up in this episode.

To be honest, I'm not holding my breath either.  I think the writers will just avoid it all together.

REVIEW POST!

Okay, I'm just going to say one thing, if ANY Applejack Episode is going to give her the spotlight among the brony community, it's this one.  If it doesn't happen, then I can only conclude that the majority actually hates Applejack.  The reason I say this is because there's only ONE potential pony to steal the spotlight, and with how the brony community feels about her... yeah!

Anyways, I will say that it was a good episode.  It shows the importance of what it means to spend time with family.  You don't need to make it all big and crazy to have a good time.  Just having a good time with one another is enough.

A good chunk of the episode centered around Applejack trying to make the reunion the best one, while everyone else just wanted to spend time together.  Applebloom and Babs Seed in particular just wanted to have a good time.  Yep, she appears.  So, the community will either focus on Applejack or 8!t(h about Babs Seed having too much time given to her.

In the end, her actions make it a terrible reunion.  Even destroying a particular well known family item in the process.  Song does appear at that point, by the way.

One thing I will point out.  When Applebloom was reading off all who would appear, not once did the words "Mom and Dad" come up.  It was the perfect point to bring it up, but it never came.  So I can only conclude that they are not around anymore.  Now that we have confirmed it, the community will want to know what happened.  Hope there's an episode about that.

Anyways, good episode that, if it doesn't give Applejack the spotlight among the fandom, NOTHING will.  End of story.

Well, won't be able to put up the episode link today.  Have to head to work now.

See ya later! :)

Heh!  According to the fans at EqD, this episode actually got leaked only hours before it aired.  However, it was so close, that I doubt it was all that noticeable.

Anyways, here's the links.

Song - Raise This Barn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRW9PnBDaJY)

That sounds like it could be an interesting episode.  I liked this one as well.  Though an Applejack centered episode it had other characters in it including seeing Babs again, though she and Applebloom didn't get much time to talk, not till the barn raising and after I would guess.

The episode name appeared on the Wii U's TV service, and was later confirmed by Meghan McCarthy. The Wii U service claims this is episode 10 of the season, but it is already known that "Spike at Your Service" holds this production number. (This may be reference to its position in the broadcast order.)

McCarthy confirmed with the Wii U listing that the episode will air January 19, 2013 on the Hub.

Oh, and everyone, people have pointed out that during the song of the latest episode, Carrot Top (Golden Harvest) was present.  Since only Apple Family members are supposed to be in this scene, I'm guessing that confirms her to be Applejack's local cousin. :o

Seriously speaking, I don't think any of us saw that coming.  Good job, writers. :)

So am I the only one who's not looking forward to the Fluttershy/Discord episode? What's the point of trying to reform Discord? He's the spirit of disharmony! Trying to change Discord would be like trying to change the Joker. They're chaos incarnate.

This whole thing sounds like a bad fanfic. At the very least, I'm hoping that there's more to it, like maybe Discord is pretending to want to change so he can escape his imprisonment and spread more chaos across Equestria.

I'll still watch the episode, but I don't have my hopes up right now. We'll just have to wait and see.

REVIEW POST!!

RD is making a novel that she will never finish?  Sign me up for a copy! :D

Anyways, let's discuss the latest episode, shall we? :)

Boy talk about being OOC!  I've seen writers botch characters before, but whoever was assigned to this episode SERIOUSLY messed up with Spike!  There is not one moment he is in character, if at all.

Another thing, Spike is not accident prone, but he may as well be the Goofy of the episode here with all that happens.  He's just a plot device for the episode.

A big disappointment.  I'm telling you now, skip it!  You'll thank me later!

If anything good about this episode came, just know, Rainbow Dash is best Timberwolf.

That is all.

See ya later! :)

Post by: Kor on December 29, 2012, 01:02:29 PM
I've not seen the episode yet, but I'll watch at least part of it to see what I think of it.  I do find it annoying when the characters or a character is done wrong by writer, comparing that character to the way they are portrayed in other episodes.  Also giving a character a power or powers they don't have but only once or a few times a season.  

There are some episodes of season 1 I won't watch again.  I've not gone over to see if there are any season 2 episodes.   So I'm not one of those who blindly loves every episode of a series I like to watch.

I'll wait till after I've seen it to see what I think.

Post by: Kor on December 29, 2012, 01:46:27 PM
Overall I did like the episode.  Though Spike is not that clumsy.  That could have been either done away with with a script rewrite of those scenes or explained as a side effect of one of Twilight's spells she was studding and had not quite got the hang of yet, that for a few hours or so Spike would be more clumsy, but it would wear off.  No spell could do away with it only time could.

I especially liked how Applejack got Twilight's attention when she was reading, funny.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on December 29, 2012, 11:11:52 PM
As much as I enjoy the ponies, this has not been a very good season. Other than Too Many Pinkie Pies, Bad Seed, Magic Duel and the last episode, none of these episodes have been very memorable.

I got the season one set myself and after watching most of the episodes, I've noticed how different season one was from two and three. Season one really felt more adventurous and had better writing. The episodes didn't always take place in Ponyville. They've gone to Appleloosa, the Everfree forest, Canterlot, the Grand Galloping Gala, and now they've been, for the most part, contained in Ponyville. The writers have such a huge world with so much potential and they're not doing anything with it.  Enough with Ponyville, have the mane six go somewhere else.

I'm worried about next week's episode now more than ever. I really hope this "villain reformation" gimmick doesn't actually become a recurring thing in the show. I can understand redeeming Luna and even Trixie but why Discord? Are Chrysalis and Sombra going to be reformed next?

On a lighter note, RD's novel sounds like it'd be an interesting idea for an episode. I hope this actually happens.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on December 29, 2012, 11:43:54 PM
Maybe they could do the novel like they did that one in that one episode where Rainbow Dash was in the hospital.  But she is telling the story to some others.  That could be interesting to see.

Actually Animeboye, the next episode won't air for a few weeks.  It airs on the 19th of January.  To be honest, I'm expecting Discord to be pulling a trick of some kind.  Him actually being reformed just doesn't feel right.

We'll see though.  We'll see. :)

Post by: Animeboye on December 31, 2012, 02:57:37 AM
Hmm...Seems a little late in the season to go on a hiatus, especially since there's only four episodes left.

I really hope that's what happens. Having Discord become good just sounds like a really bad idea.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 31, 2012, 03:57:56 AM
You don't REALLY think that Discord will turn good, do you? Come on, the writers are smarter than that.

I also disagree entirly about this being a weak, unmemorably season.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 31, 2012, 04:42:41 PM
Okay, from the synopsis of the next episode from various sites, I think I can conclude that it's not Discord who wants to turn good, but it's that Princess Celestia wants to make him good.

I wonder why though. :unsure:

On December 15, 2012, Jocelan Thiessen called this episode her favorite of the season "for sure."

Sabrina Alberghetti helped with some clean up on this episode and threw in one of her favorite background ponies; she's specified that it's not hers, but that "it'll stand out" and that "you'll know who it is when you see it."

If I already asked this question before I'm sorry but if the Gang were ponies, what do you think their cutie marks would be? I'm asking because I'm thinking of drawing them as ponies and I really don't have any ideas. The only one I can think of is Littlefoot's. I'd imagine something to do with adventure so maybe an adventurer's hat/backpack.

Okay, it's one thing when the episodes themselves are taken down, but parodies and commentaries? Okay, why are you attacking fair use, Hasbro? Are you trying to look worse than a certain company I'm not obligated to name? I hope it's just a mistake on their part. If not and they are doing it on purpose, this could be a problem. :(

Well, I'll keep an eye on this and see what develops. Until then, see ya later! -_-

Italian lyrics English translation

 

In a splendid, colorful and magical world
Little ponies always live in peace and harmony
Shy and lovely, grumpy and romantic
Are the traits of the friends you're going to meet
And day by day you will grow up, how many problems you will solve
With the other ponies, you know you will have fun

Go and fly, My Little Pony
If you want to meet new friends
Take flight, listen to your heart
And you can face every adventure
Go and fly, My Little Pony
Make your dreams come true and do not stop

Do not stop, do not stop, do not stop...

Go and fly, My Little Pony
If you want to meet new friends
Take flight, listen to your heart
And you can face every adventure
Go and fly, My Little Pony
Make your dreams come true and do not stop

Do not stop, do not stop, do not stop!

So if I can go back to my question

Quote
If I already asked this question before I'm sorry but if the Gang were ponies, what do you think their cutie marks would be? I'm asking because I'm thinking of drawing them as ponies and I really don't have any ideas. The only one I can think of is Littlefoot's. I'd imagine something to do with adventure so maybe an adventurer's hat/backpack.

That is a good question.  

Cera may be a rock, since she's smashed rocks & some may she's as stubborn as a rock.

Spike's may be leaves or berries since he likes eating.  Though he is very strong compared to the others so it may be some strength based symbol also.

Not sure of the others.  Ducky & Petrie are hard to say.  If you add in the tv series gang, I'm not sure about like Ruby.  I guess Chomper could be a baby dragon, like Spike is in the original and current versions.

Ducky's would probably be a heart or something because of her kindness.

Petrie's cutie mark would be a wing with speed lines? After all, he's the only flyer in the group and he's not that bad.

You know something I realized?

We've never really seen Applejack or Fluttershy interact with each other. I think there was a scene in Swarm of the Century where AJ called Fluttershy's name but that was it. We've seen the rest of the Mane Six interact with each other outside of their group(Twilight with Rarity, Rainbow Dash with AJ, Fluttershy with Pinkie, etc.) but never those two.

I hope we get an Applejack/Fluttershy episode in season four. Be interesting to see how their characters work together.

Quote from: landbeforetimelover,Jul 16 2011 on  04:41 PM
I must say, the My Little Pony craze is sweeping through the internet like a plague.  I can't go anywhere without someone screaming "ooh, My Little Pony!  My Little Pony!"  So despite my better judgement, I decided to download the series.  I must say, It's not what I expected it to be.  The stories are actually....not that bad.  The animation makes me sick to my stomach and I can barely watch it, but I'm beginning to kind of appreciate the characters in a strange, twisted sort of way.  

My Little Pony is compelling in the same way you can't help but look when an old naked guy starts running down the street.  You don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.  There are times when I can get past the animation, but only for an instant.  Then I'm snapped back into reality and get that kind of sick feeling.  My Little Pony is like being really REALLY hungry and eating a shitload of cake.  You're starving so you can't help but eat, but unfortunately the stomach pains after eating are almost as bad as starving.  

So will I ever like My Little Pony?  Doubtful.  But will I watch it?  Yes.  I just can't help myself - especially when the entire series is just sitting there on my hard drive taunting me and I just wasted 34GB of bandwidth downloading it (this includes seeding).  I'm not against little kid shows.  Hell, I even like Dragon Tales.  But My Little Pony is just......sickening and compelling at the same time.  It's very strange.
I don't normally quote myself, but I had a look back at my first posts about the show and boy have I changed.  It really did take a lot for me to like this show.  And now I absolutely ADORE it!  I think my resistance to it was so strong because I'm such a "manly" guy.  There is literally NOTHING about me that's feminine in any way shape or form.  Not to say I don't respect and like the fairer sex.  I'm just saying it's not me.  And it took a lot for me to like this show.  But I'm glad that I was "man" enough to like it.  Your masculinity isn't defined by what you watch, but how you live your life.

I don't know any specific clip, but I'm sure if you go to YouTube and search "Bionicle Mask of Light" (the only Bionicle movie he has a significant speaking role), you'll likely find something to help you answer that question.

As for that image, I'll just link to that topic on BZPower (http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=268&page=173) where I found the link to that image.

REVIEW POST WITH SPOILERS!

I predicted from the start that this episode would be the biggest risk on Hasbro's side and the most controversial on the fan side.  So far, I've been right with the former, and I won't be surprised if I'm right with the latter.

The truth of the matter is that none of the audience is willing to give a God of Chaos a chance.  However, neither were Fluttershy's friends, and giving what they went through in Return of Harmony, I don't blame them.  I wasn't willing to give him a chance either. ;)

Oh, and we do get to see "The Stare" again.  However, it doesn't work on Discord.  He just pretended to be effected by it and then laughed at her feeble attempt.  Yeah, typical Discord for ya there! :lol: (Yeah, you are given no doubts that he's the real Discord at the beginning of the episode.)

Through the episode however, Fluttershy opens up to Discord and allows him a chance to be her friend, which apparently was something Discord needed all along.  Yeah, this is something we can come to expect from a show that puts so much emphasis on friendship. :rolleyes:

I must also point out that at the beginning of the episode, he did alter the minds of a bunch of beavers secretly.  It becomes important later in the episode.  Oh, and beavers tend to swear on a regular basis.  At least it's in a language only Fluttershy can understand so the writers can get away with it. :D

The writers in the end make Discord's reformation seem like an act to the audience, but that is far from the truth.  The fact is, he is actually touched by the idea of someone willing to be his friend.  However, when his earlier act causes problems he plays with it, thus making things worse, and it nearly costs him his friendship with Fluttershy.  Seeing the importance of it, (and that he's been "troll-bested") he fixes everything and swears to use his powers for good from now on.

However, don't think he gets off scoot-free.  Celestia doesn't fully trust him and has the mane six keep The Elements of Harmony, just in case. ;)

So in the end, this is a like it or hate it episode.  In truth, I liked it.  It was an enjoyable episode.  It really does keep to Discord's character and also opens up more about him.  On top of that, it's just a lot of fun to watch Discord play with everyone's minds up to the end.

This will be a controversial episode, no question asked.  I won't be surprised if there will be fans spewing out their hate for it for months to come.  At least they find something else to fuel their complaints.  Trust me, that's coming. ;)

Still, give this a chance, keep an open mind and know what to expect from the series, and you might actually find yourself enjoying this one.  Then again, that's just what I did.  Might not work for you, but you can try it. ;)

Anyways, that's all from me!  Next up, the episode post!

See ya later! :wave

I feel a little disappointed with it...mostly because it dashed many a shipper's idea that Discord and Celestia had some kind of mutual relationship in the past...though Celestia seemed pretty darn confident while delivering Discord, rather than some amount of "this be serious!" than I expected.

Well I've had time to gather my thoughts after having watched the episode.

It started out pretty funny. In my opinion one of the funniest episodes of the entire series. I really loved seeing Discord give Angel what he deserved from the very beginning. Also, remember when I said Applejack and Fluttershy should interact with each other more? Looks like someone on the show read my post :DD

...The ending however...killed it. I'm sorry it really did. Not only was the ending rushed but I didn't believe it in the slightest. Discord is reformed by  Fluttershy telling him she's not going to be his friend? Seriously? And why would Discord even care that she didn't want to be friends with him? He's the spirit of chaos, for Celestia's sake!

I liked this episode better than I thought I would but the ending really wasn't great. I was also really hoping that Discord would have turned Fluttershy into a dragon since there were rumors circulating before season three that it would happen.

Post by: Kor on January 20, 2013, 01:20:45 AM
Overall I liked the episode.  Though the ending did seem a bit rushed.  Like maybe the writer thought the episode would be a 2 parter or got caught by surprise when they realized they only had a few minutes at most left.  I would not think that discord would care if he had friends or not. Since he can change a pony's mind he can make someone a friend of his likely.

Okay, I was going to explain the ending of the latest episode to those who thinks it was rushed/doesn't work for Discord, but someone on EqD did it for me, so I'll just quote them.

Quote
Okay, it seems the dominant opinion is that Discord's change was too abrupt, making this a bad episode.
So I'm here to defend the other side of the story, where many people can see it.

Discord's change wasn't abrupt because he didn't really change at all. (calm down, let me explain.)
He changed his attitudes, but not his personality. He has always done what he wanted, and he's still doing it. Though, before he wanted chaos, and now he doesn't want to lose his only friend.

Come to think of it, the only possible way of "reforming" Discord was to make him want to act reformed. And that's exactly what happened:
Remember when he looked at Fluttershy and said: "Well played."? Yeeeah. (btw, that made me cry rivers)
Welp, Celestia said so: "[...] get him to use his magic obediently at his own free will."

"I like it better my way, but I guess when you're friends you can't always have things exactly your way all the time."
He's still doing what he wants: he wanted to keep his friend, so he went there and BAM, made everything normal again. Otherwise he'd lose his friend, and he definitely didn't want that to happen.

Besides, he had never experienced friendship before, hence why he'd never acted in such a way, or similar. Once he experienced it the first time, he acted that way.
It's not like he was evil, as I said, he simply did what he wanted. Acting frindly wasn't against his principles or anything like that. So he didn't change.

And I know, Celestia said: "I definitely sense a big change in Discord.", but she was talking about his attitudes, which indeed changed a lot. I'm talking about his personality, which didn't change at all!
He is Discord, things work this way for him. Simple as that. Fast as that. The way he wants to.

Ahem. Well, I have the feeling this isn't even close to what it would take to convince you people, but well.. I did my job here. Maybe someone else can explain better.

As for better proof that it wasn't rushed.

Quote
I don't see it as rushed, actually. It seems a lot of the perception of the abrupt heel-face turn centers on the only time Discord acknowledges he cares about Fluttershy's friendship is at the end of the episode, when he delivers the "Well-played, Fluttershy," and the like.

However, he already acknowledged prior that he was warming up to the idea of being friends at the little dinner party. The very thought gave him pause, so largely what remains at that point is whether you believe he was being sincere with that particular statement. I believe that he was, because I've never believed Discord was "evil," per se. He's mischievous, a trickster. He's more interested in being able to do what he wants, not being a jerk. Naturally, this attitude still makes it hard to make friends (especially when your power is relatively boundless compared to the average individual), but he would appreciate a good friend just like anyone else. He just didn't realize it yet.

So yeah, it wasn't rushed, but in actuality a new experience for Discord.

Sometimes, you just need to look at things in a different way to really understand what is actually going on.  This was the case here.

Hope that helps some of you on this.

Now, I await the upcoming Discord&Fluttershy Fanfics. (You know they're coming!  It's inevitable! ;) )

See ya later! :wave

This is the first full episode I've watched of this show, on the recommendation of a friend. I have to say, looking at it in context, and given the fact one can only do so much in a 22 minute time slot, I think they pulled off a pretty good reformation episode. That's something that not a lot of kids' shows will attempt, and given the fact that it was by pure accident this show picked up a much older fan base than it was originally conceived for, I would certainly expect this episode to be a rather discordant one (pardon the pun) for some fans.

Still, I think Pokeplayer984 has posted some good points about it, and looking at it once again from the standpoint of they only have 22 minutes with which to do so much, I wasn't expecting anything stellar, but it certainly didn't disappoint me at all either.

For a while now, Amazon has had a DVD listed as "My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: April".  The information on it is your typical generic pony summary without an episode list.

Someone going by the name of Sebastian tossed the UPC into Google, and found a bunch of other locations carrying the disc.   While the information is still generic, they all drop a specific "Twilight Sparkle Princess" title. How ominous!

I guess only time will tell what exactly is on it

Cracked does an article about the darker side of the Brony fanbase. http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/4-insan...t-by-grown-men/ (http://www.cracked.com/quick-fixes/4-insane-pieces-my-little-pony-fan-art-by-grown-men/)




*Rant below*













After reading some of the comments left by butthurt Bronies, I've got to say that this a major reason why the Bronies get so much flak on the Internet. Why is it that the slightest bit of negative reception is enough to get under so many Bronys' skin?

I have to ask: What makes the Brony community so much different than any other fanbase out there? What makes us different from Trekkies, Whovians, Furries, Anime fans, etc.? Every fandom has been made fun of at one point or another. How many people have made fun of furries for "having sex in fursuits" or "wanting to be an animal"? How many people have stereotyped Trekkies as being overweight, wearing Star Trek clothing and speaking perfect Klingon? Bronies are just another  group that people like to poke fun at. Nobody's discriminating Bronies for liking a little girls show or anything like that. Bronies are not the first fandom to be ridiculed and they won't be the last.

So in closing, please, can this community please learn to just laugh at itself? It's not worth getting upset over something like this.

REVIEW POST!!

Okay, here's the challenge with this episode, don't laugh at all.  If you pass, you prove to have no sense of humor.

Yeah, that's all it is, just one big laughfest as Spike tries to take care of the Mane-Six's pets.  All in the name of jewels!

As for SPOILERS, the CMCs, Zecora and Granny Smith join in on the fun.  Plus, we get to see the Crystal Empire. (For about 2 minutes.) Oh, and the most problematic pet, Angel! (If the trailer alone for Rise of the Guardians tells us anything, it's to not mess with a bunny.)

It's an enjoyable episode full of comedy moments that will have you laughing until the end.  Definitely worth watching.

Now to wait for it to appear on YouTube.

See ya later! :)

Every fandom has its dark side.  Or more accurately, every society has messed up people to deal with.  I don't let the activities of a few wacko's define me.  I've heard of most of those things, but thankfully haven't seen or experienced them.  I try to stick around sites with very strict rules so I don't see or experience anything too violent or sexual.  Of course the random Google search for pony images does bring up a sexual image or two, but honestly it doesn't bother me.  Seeing as it's (normally) filly on filly action and the images are so small, all I ever really see is a head in a not-so-appropriate place.

I've heard of most of the horrors of the fandom, not the least of which being the infamous fanfic "Cupcakes" (which I'm happy to say I've never read).  It sorta makes me wonder if this fandom is filled with mostly weirdos.  But I really don't care.  I love ponies and I won't let the actions of a few sickos change that.

You know the one thing that people are complaining the most about with the latest episode?  It's that the Element of Generosity gave Spike the smallest gem.

Now, while it's true that a smaller one could bring a lower value, the color of said gem could make quite a vast difference.  In this case, a tiny ruby was able to buy...

A GIANT INDUSTRIAL SIZED HAIR DRYER!!

No, you see my issue isn't that fandoms have their dark sides(I've been in plenty to understand that). My issue is Bronies always making mountains out of molehills. The Howard Stern thing? Not a big deal. This Cracked article? Not a big deal. The Fox News thing? Not a big deal.

The smallest bit of negative reception and Bronies get so butthurt about it. Any time a negative news tidbit about Bronies pops up,  Equestria Daily and any other Brony site will be whining about it.  What I want to know is: What is the point of getting so upset about negative press? All fandoms have faced it, not just Bronies. I remember when anime was the weird thing yet I don't remember anime fans bawwing about how they were being discriminated against. I don't remember anime fans sharing their "Coming out" experiences on forums.

As for Cupcakes, I've read it before, seen the images and I don't understand why it freaks so many Bronies out. Yeah, the images of Pinkie and Apple Bloom looking crazy is kind of creepy at first but that wears off quickly. Besides, I can name five horror movies that are far, far more disturbing than Cupcakes.

I agree. This fandom really has too many weirdos. Many of whom I think don't consider the younger audience that watches this show. My niece watches MLP and the last thing I'd want is for her to be on the Internet and find a picture of Rainbow Dash eating Pinkie Pie's...pie. Yeah, let's leave it at that.

Exactly! That's exactly the point I was trying to get at here. Bronies do need to lighten up. Every fandom will have its haters, that's just how it is. Not everyone is going to think Bronies are cool.

Now I don't know if anime fans ever did whine about "discrimination". All the anime forums I frequented in the past, never once did I find a topic about being discriminated against. Who knows? Maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

Anyway, this'll probably be my last post on the subject. Bronies do need to take a chill pill. This fandom, despite what a lot of Bronies might want to believe, is not comprised of special little snowflakes. This fandom is not immune to criticism or even ridicule. It's a fandom like any other. We're no different than anime fans, furries, Whovians, Trekkies, or any other group.

Basically, Bronies are butthurt of the idea of Twilight becoming an alicorn.

My only question on it is, what is so wrong with it?  In all seriousness, I don't mind and it's not my decision on the direction of the show, so why are people making such a big deal about it?

Seriously, if this constant whining keeps up, a change in "Fanbase Levels of MLP" may not be such a bad idea.  You know, make fans EARN a certain title by the way they act.  Let's see how far that gets and how fun it'll be. :)

Well, EqD answered my question.  Apparently, it was overreacting on things we had ASSUMED about our favorite world of pony.

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/01/edit...ed-writers.html (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/01/editorial-twilight-redacted-writers.html)

So yeah, hatred stemming from going against what we assumed.  Much like the hatred for Metroid: Other M was. (Even if the fans don't like to admit it.)

See these adult men are acting like children over stupid things like this. It's makes me kinda embarrassed to be in this community. I also see no issue with this at all. If they want to change there own characters it's there choice. Sending Death Threats to a company over this is taking it way to far. And people need to accept it and move on. Nothing to get so upset over. These bronies need to act like adults instead of children over these changes. It makes me feel like I'm not part of the group if I disagree with them. But I'll just ignore them and live my life as I'm doing now and not care.

The funny thing is I bet the little girls that watch this show won't care nearly as much about Twilight becoming an alicorn as these "grown" men do. They'll probably be like "Ooh! Twilight Sparkle looks pretty with wings!"

Really, it's kinda funny yet kinda sad how seriously some people take this show. I enjoy MLP but it's hardly a major part of my life. Yes, I do have merchandise and I've done some fanart but for me, this is just a fun show that I watch on the weekends. The even funnier thing is that these little girls who are probably between three and nine years old act more maturely about this show than these Bronies who are in their late teens, twenties, thirties, whatever.

Grow up guys. Seriously. It's a good show but not worth revolving your entire life around.

Post by: Petrie85 on January 30, 2013, 06:18:28 PM
To some people this show has changed there life's for the good. I also buy the merchandise if I have cash. But I think Twilight Sparkle is gonna look awesome with wings if they pull it off just right. I don't get into wars or fights with other bronies it's so not worth it. I also like the show and the meaning behind it. But I'm not a crazed fan like others are sending threatening letters in.

I understand that. This show's helped me in some ways too(it's made me a happier person). But I still don't think that calls for worshiping this show or bawwing over every little thing.

I also think that alicorn Twilight could be pretty good if done right. I just wonder what they'll do with her afterward.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on January 31, 2013, 12:10:22 PM
It seems one major gripe people are making on it is that by making Twilight an Alicorn, it'll end the show.  However, this is completely untrue.  In fact, there have already been reports of Season 4 currently in the works.  So, even though our beloved Twilight Sparkle will become a princess, it only means that she will have greater responsibilities now and will NEED the support of her friends to get through this life altering experience.

So, while it certainly won't end the show by any means, it will add new elements.  However, new things added to a show is something that happens when it comes to shows that run more than one season these days.  We have to respect the decision and stop making such a big deal about it.  It's the writer's choice, and there is NOTHING we can do about that.

Anyways, on to the real reason I came on here, mainly to shift the subject onto something different.

Season 3 is coming to Netflix!

Post by: landbeforetimelover on February 01, 2013, 12:12:25 AM
I absolutely HATE the idea of Twilight becoming an alicorn.  The show has been going downhill since Lauren left.  I can't believe they'd just change the entire nature of one of the main characters like that.  I'm not going to make any firm decisions before I actually see the episode (and a few episodes following it), but depending on how they handle this I might just have to stop watching ponies.  It was fun while it lasted but I can't stand it when some bastard corporation ruins a good thing in the name of profit.  Maybe they toys aren't selling well because they absolutely SUCK (they're not even realistic!) and the economy is absolute CRAP!  And of course the fact that all the main characters aren't even in a single set.  Most kids don't give a crap about Zecora or Granny Smith.  They form a connection with one of the main characters that gets the most screen time.  Besides, in this modern age there are a LOT better things for little girls to be doing other than playing with toys (like actually WATCHING ponies or doing pony things on the internet).  

I hated how they just made Twilight's brother appear out of thin air like that.  I think they handled it rather well, but it was a blatant attempt to make some sort of "wedding" toy set.  Total BS.  And to get another princess.  And now that's not enough for them.  Rather than pull a new princess out of their ass, they'll just make Twilight into a princess and totally fuck the storyline.  I can only hope the writers can somehow make this realistic and not bomb out.  Or better yet, I hope this is temporary.

You know one thing I've realized about this whole Twilicorn thing?  That people say it comes completely out of left field.  WRONG!!

There have been several hints since Season 1 that this would happen.  The biggest being her element and her life goal.

Anyone want to take a guess at how those two things relate to it all?

I'll give you all a few days before I reveal how it works.

Just think about it and I'm sure you'll get it. ;)

We just had our pony convention, February 2, 2013.

called... "PH PonyCon '13" it is actually the second pony convention here in the Philippines. The first one was last year, which I haven' been to. But this one, I managed to save up some good money for it.

album here:
http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.5...88010766&type=1 (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.536650589700773.124218.253550688010766&type=1)

We had so much fun that day, and since it was set from 12NN up to 12AM, heck it was a total blast. Merchandise booth, great merchs, t-shirts, mugs, plushies, hats, clip-on ears, canvass drawings, art commissions booths, keychains, necklaces, stickers, bookmarks, damn a lot more, but this one booth, sells official MLP toys, though it is kinda expensive for me so yeah. lol. I only saved 1,900 pesos for that.

So what merchandise did I buy? well I got this pony plushy pre-ordered and just gonna pick it up for that day, it was a Derpy plushy.

(http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/14882_485325634838466_1785199354_n.jpg)

some other stuff I got is a t-shirt, also pre-ordered. A "bored pony" shirt, that's my OC pony by the way. Also named "Dozy Slumbers". Also I got other stuff, like pony hat which is a twilight sparkle themed one, a fluttershy mug, a pinkie pie t-shirt, and some pony prints, which is from my best friend "Kyroking" perhaps some of you might know him.  :DD

(http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/18611_485329224838107_61386458_n.jpg)

Pony Cube Plushies

Some other info, we had a little skit there together with Kyroking and some other guys, it's called "Assassination Skit" since they're quite obsessed with assassins creed, so they did it. One little problem. I had no props as weapon. but then... COMPUTER PROGRAMMING BOOK. so yeah I used a book instead.

Also, during the after-party.... I went dancing berser--- let's rather not talk about that.  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol  :lol

Footage of the whole event will be released soon though, on youtube that is.

Also gonna be featured in Equestria Daily soon. Keep track of it!  :DD

Well season four has been confirmed to be 26 episodes. 66x1, I'm not sure what he's asking. Derpy...I don't know. It'd be cool if she returned but it doesn't really matter to me anymore. She never contributed anything to the show. She was just a Where's Waldo kind of character. And Meghan McCarthy's damn good at this because experience.

So which ones will she answer? The first and last are my guess. Even though the first has already been confirmed.

And so the Bronies are complaining yet again. To what this time? A statement Meghan McCarthy made about how "every little girl wants to be a princess".

http://family-room.ew.com/2013/01/29/my-li...light-princess/ (http://family-room.ew.com/2013/01/29/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-exclusive-twilight-princess/)


Quote
EW can exclusively reveal that the third season finale of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will see everyone’s favorite unicorn being named a princess ó and gaining a new pair of regal wings in the process. “She was set up from the very beginning to be on an important journey,” explains MLP head writer Meghan McCarthy. “It’s really about her earning this new status by combining all the things that we’ve seen her learn over the course of the series.”

But don’t worry, Pony fans ó though Twilight will undergo a physical transformation, her personality will remain the same. “What we didn’t want to do was change who she is as a character, because she’s certainly someone that everyone’s proud to know and love,” McCarthy says. “I don’t think becoming a princess really changes her; I think it’s going to introduce some new challenges for her.”

Those challenges will include living up to that  lofty new title. In MLPës Equestria, “princess” is a designation that’s earned, not freely given ó and though princesses have specific leadership roles in pony society, being one really means “being a good pony who shares the gifts that they have been given with others,” according to McCarthy. “We’re building a very unique mythology around being a princess,” she continues. “Every little girl wants to be a princess, and not everybody can get to be a princess ó but you can live up to the ideals that should come along with being a princess.”




I don't understand what is so bad about her statement. When she said "every" little girl, I don't think she literally meant "every". And so what if there are little girls who want to be princesses? News flash Bronies: Little girls LIKE princesses! Maybe if some of you stepped out of your parents' basements for a few seconds you'd realize this. How old are these little girls that wish they were princesses? Like between the ages of three and nine maybe? They're kids! It's not like they'll retain this desire into teen and adulthood.

What if McCarthy said "every little boy wants to be a superhero"? Would anyone be outraged by that statement? More than likely not. So what's the problem with saying every little girl wants to be a princess? I think she realizes that not all girls like princesses or want to be one. She was speaking figuratively. Kind of like if I said "All boys like baseball". I know not all of them do, I'm just speaking figuratively.

There's no reason to pick her statement apart or bash her. She didn't say anything wrong or harmful. And if a girl wants to pretend she's a princess, if she wants to pretend she's Ariel or Jasmine or Celestia, what's the harm in that? It's no different than a little boy pretending to be Iron Man, Spider Man or Batman.

Oh, criminey, McCarthy words sound like something that belongs in the G3 DVDs. Again, I do not approve of Twilight becoming an alicorn. It serves absolutely no purpose other than to force her into a niche.

You know what?  I'm not even going to bother with my article.  I'm only going to take the satisfaction of knowing I was right when I stated that it was planned since season one for Twilight to become an alicorn.

If these people are going to keep acting like babies over this and not get professional help that they need, it's just not worth it.

Hopefully, I can find a pony forum that shoots down people like this.  It would be SO worth spending my time there.

Oh ignore raptor he is just a complainer anyhow. And I agree and believe you Poke Player. I knew this was gonna happen. So I'm glad she is finally becoming one. Next week we will see the finale. And I also hope season 4 is better as well. And the 26 episodes are gonna be very good. And glad to see this show not ending after season 4.

It's not just Weirdraptor though. Tons of Bronies are acting ridiculous about this whole thing. It's one thing not to like the fact that Twilight's going to be an alicorn. It's another to persistently whine about it like a little kid.

I stand by what I said: I think the actual little kids who watch this show are more mature about it than the Bronies. At least these kids aren't whining about every little negative thing and making themselves and their fandom look bad.  

And again, if I may ask, what was so bad about what McCarthy said? I didn't find anything in her statement that was even slightly offensive.

Post by: Ptyra on February 08, 2013, 02:50:44 PM
So long as it was planned from the start that this was going to happen, and that the next season is going to be so much longer, I'm happy.

And don't you think there will be learning-to-fly antics? I sure do!

My only question regarding S3 is, wasn't there supposed to be one about RD having a boyfriend? I do have a feeling that "having a romantic relationship doesn't make you a totally sap; it's not the end of your social life with your friends" moral...kind of like one of the episodes of Fish Hooks.
But a pony episode with that theme wouldn't have THE GLORIOUS ICE PICK!

People in this community need to calm down about every little thing. There is nothing wrong with what she said. All little girls want to be come a princess that a young age. So nothing to bash her about. Man this community is so embarrassing and they fight about every stupid thing. And they need to stop and grow up. Every brony needs to grow up about everything.

No, some bronies need to grow up about something. It's not all of us that are bashing her. I haven't attacked her in any way, so don't you dare throw me in with the crazies, animeboye, got that?

Oh, and Petrie, don't you dare ever say "ignore raptor" again. Don't you EVER call me "just a complainer" ever again, either. Got that? I am not willing to put up with any crap from someone like you. You think you know me?  :spit  Get real.

Hmm... Interesting...

What do you think it will be?

A "magical girl" type show like Faust intended? A timeshift forward into a different and slightly darker Equestria? My Little Pony Tales slice of life? Humanized? Cyberpunk Equestria like Batman Beyond. Introduction of Humans?

I'm leaning towards timeshift forward and/or humanization.

I won't be too bothered...unless it was humanization. Then I'll probably stop watching.

-----------------

Also, I think Alicorn Forme Twilight could be a set up to a great lesson: just because you've made it big (or are now famous and powerful), it doesn't mean you have to forget your old friends.

SMALL SPOILERS POST

Okay, I don't have much time, but I'll give out two things about it.

One, this Episode corresponds with Just For Sidekicks (Where Spike took care of the Mane Six's Pets) as the episodes happen on the exact same day in the Show's Timeline.

Two, Old Cliche of "Mistaking the Wrong Individual for Someone Else" is present in this episode.

That is all.  I won't be able to post the YouTube Link until later today after I get off work.

Until then, see ya! :wave

Oh, I'm real scared!

Seriously dude, why is it that whenever someone challenges your viewpoint or has a different opinion than you, you act as if they're out to get you? Where in my post did I lump you in with "the crazies"? I didn't. I wasn't defending you but I wasn't attacking you either.

And yeah, sorry but this fandom does have some serious growing up to do. And I'm not talking about me or Petrie. I'm talking about the Bronies that have temper tantrums over every little thing that happens within the fandom. I'll listen to the Bronies that present their opinions on such matters in a calm and collective way. I will not listen to the Bronies who just go all "WAAH! WAAH! ALICORN TWILIGHT! ME NO WANT!!!!"

Personally, I don't feel strongly about this either way. I've got more important things in my life to worry about than whether or not a cartoon character becomes a princess. Twilight becoming an alicorn could be a good change, it could ruin the show completely. We don't know yet.

Do you remember a few pages back you were telling me how much you hated bullies? Well, you're acting like a bully right now, yelling at me and Petrie, threatening us, dishing out the "Got that's". You sound like a schoolyard bully who's threatening to beat us up after school. Calm down. You need to stop acting like the whole world is out to get you.  You have a right to an opinion just like everyone else here but there are better ways to express that opinion than just flying off the handle and attacking and insulting people.

For everyone who was looking forward to Fighting is Magic, I have some bad news: the devs just got a cease and desist (http://www.derpyhoovesnews.com/fighting-is-magic-devteam-served-with-cease-and-desist-notice) from Hasbro.

One thing puzzles me, this game was in development for two years and was pretty well known even then. Why would Hasbro wait until now, when it's near finished to serve the devs that letter?

Anyways, I see a lot of people making unauthorized merchandise and selling it for lots of money (remember the guy who advertised Fallout Equestria hardcover books on Facebook?).

Get off it! This isn't about you challenging my viewpoint! I couldn't give a damn what you two think of the whole issue. This is about you two insulting me by telling everyone to ignore me and that I'm nothing but a complainer. Don't you dare act like the innocent victim here.

No, you and Petrie are the ones acting like bullies. Ganging up on me like you did. Don't lecture me. I'm not willing to take any of that crap from someone like you. You two were the ones who made something out of this. Remember that.

And don't tell me how to express my opinion. I have been expressing it very civilly for a long while now. This has nothing to do with opinons. You has everything to do with you and Petrie deciding to get my case over nothing!
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on February 09, 2013, 02:27:57 PM
Nobody ganged up on you. I didn't even agree with the guy.

I also didn't tell anyone to ignore you. Don't put words in my mouth. I'm playing the innocent victim? Oh, like what you're doing right now? Pot, meet kettle.

Take crap from someone like me? Who, someone that's well liked by the people in his life? Someone who was trying to get you to calm down? What are you even getting on my case for anyway? I never said anything against you. And yeah, you are being a bully: You're yelling your head off at people who said...really nothing to you, you're threatening people, but hey, I put your name in a post that wasn't even aimed at you and I'm the bad guy. Not the guy who's having a tantrum like a five year old, no, the guy who didn't do anything to you is at fault.

But you know what? Why should I even care? You'll just yell at me again anyway.

Post by: Pangaea on February 09, 2013, 02:44:49 PM
I have a feeling that this is a bad idea, but…

Weirdraptor, Animeboye, can you two PLEASE give it a rest?

Petrie85, with all due respect, you really shouldn't make comments like that one you made about Weirdraptor; whatever your reasons for making such a statement, that did come off as pretty insensitive. I do believe you owe him an apology one everything calms down.

Animeboye, I for one can't tell whether your response to Petrie's statement was a deliberate affirmation of what he was saying about Weirdraptor, but even if it wasn't, I can see how he would perceive it as another insensitive remark. There is no call for your subsequent responses to him, however; you are only escalating things into a flame war.

Weirdraptor, I'm sorry you were offended, and I do not believe that anyone should talk to you the way Animeboye is or talk about you the way Petrie85 did, but you are not helping things. I know you've said in the past that you have problems with your temper, so I strongly think that you should take a break from this thread/this forum/the Internet/the computer (take your pick) and allow yourself to cool down.

I don't know if any of you have seen yet, but Malte posted a warning in the "Things you hate" thread not to prove him wrong on his belief that the MLP thread should not be closed down. If you upset the admins to the point that they do close down this thread, there will be a lot more unhappy members (some of whom may be angry at you). In any event, this flaming is not helping ANYTHING, so PLEASE stop.

EDIT: Looks like I write way too slow. Oh well.

If I might make a suggestion?

I think the thread should be locked. At least until this alicorn Twilight episode is over. I get the feeling that the next week is just going to be filled with more bitching, more flaming, and just more of what went on just a short moment ago.

I don't think MLP should be banned from GoF and I don't think anyone else should get banned because of it. This alicorn thing is getting both parties, those for it, those against it, and those who don't care too much riled up. So, in the words of Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, let's lock the thread, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over.

Well considering this last week or two has been mostly everyone complaining at each other, I do think at least a temporary lock should be considered.

At least until the alicorn drama has passed. By then, everything should be okay and everyone'll be back to sharing comics and fanart and talking about pony news. Hopefully.

I have to say I'm with Weirdraptor on this one. Personally I think that the manner in which a controversial subject is discussed is more key to avoiding a nasty argument than the subject matter itself. Up until today's regrettable incident, the drama in this thread hadn't gone beyond a few vehemently stated opinions, as far as I could tell. Besides, what's the point of having a MLP thread if we don't discuss things on it? :p And who's to say we have to talk about this whole silly "alicorn Twilight" drama anyway?

Case in point, have a happy bat: :D

There is no call for your subsequent responses to him, however; you are only escalating things into a flame war.

 
Now that I've had time to calm down I guess I should clear some things up.

What I said wasn't necessarily intended to be a jab at WeirdRaptor. It was a result of poor choice of words on my part. I probably could have put it a better way but...well...too late now.

My issue isn't with him or anyone else. In fact, the Bronies/non Bronies on this site are actually some of the more mature ones I've seen on forums. I'm annoyed with Bronies who just won't stop with the drama in this community. I'm annoyed with Bronies who think that everyone who doesn't love My Little Pony is a hater, I'm annoyed with Bronies who think that confessing you like MLP is the same as a gay person coming out of the closet(and there are people like that), and, I'm annoyed with the Bronies who think this fandom is the most creative one out there because of all the fan content(what fandom doesn't have the stuff we do? I hate to say it but this fandom really isn't that unique in that department).

I didn't mean to offend anyone and I didn't want this to escalate into...this. I'm sorry I offended anyone. This'll be my last post on this. I just wanted to try and clear things up.

On the whole toothbrush thing: I tell you, there have been some weird quirks in brony fan art. Ever since that background pon Colgate hit the scene, the whole "brushy brushy" thing has really taken off. It's amusing, so I don't mean that in a bad way.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on February 09, 2013, 08:39:52 PM
Funny picture.  When I looked at it I was thinking also that it's cute and funny that they made Spike dress so he looks like a leprechaun.  

As for ponies being drunk, they'd have to drink hard cider.  Way back in the 70's I heard the difference is hard cider is alchoholic but apple cider isn't.  I've heard recently that much of the world doesn't make the distinction between apple cider and hard cider.  Maybe the distinction isn't as clear in the USA nowadays either, I'm not sure.

If the apple cider is colored green it would fit in with St. Patrick's day very well.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on February 09, 2013, 10:11:00 PM
Hmm...I dunno, I thought apple cider was alcoholic. Also, I remember one pony from the Appleloosa episode who I think was hinted at being drunk. As Braeburn was giving the Mane Six a tour of Appleloosa, they come across a saloon and the bartender kicks a pony out who sounded/acted a little drunk.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on February 09, 2013, 10:13:44 PM
And yeah it looks like she is brushing her teeth. And Apple Cider is a alcohol if you leave it for a period of time.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on February 09, 2013, 10:49:29 PM
They may have changed things since I was a kid.  I heard hard cider is alcoholic and apple cider isn't.  

That beside the point I"m sure there would be alcoholic drinks since from what they've shown pony world is very similar to what is on the earth or use to be on the earth in the case of some technology.  So it stands to reason some pony discovered or invented alcoholic drinks or the first drink.  Maybe an earth pony since they grow the food.  Or maybe a unicorn who was a chemist or alchemist or some herbalist or some other means.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 11, 2013, 02:10:45 AM
I was surprised the latest episode was Dash-centric.  With the Synopsis, I was half expecting Twilight to take center stage here.  Nope!  Falls on such a personal level for Rainbow that she has to be the main focus.  Who would've thought?

Anyways, for me, the episode was quite enjoyable but nothing special.  It was really good, but falls short in certain areas that would've made it a more enjoyable episode.  I do admit that I got a laugh out of the "Dash-proof" ceiling incident.

It was good, just not as good as it could've been.

For the sake of this thread, I'll just think about the OTHER important thing of the episode everyone is shadowing over with the unneeded drama.

I wonder who will get the destiny of Pinkie in the next episode?

I'll have to wait and see.

See ya later! :wave

Post by: Animeboye on February 11, 2013, 03:03:47 AM
I don't know. I didn't think the episode was that great. It wasn't as bad as some of season three's episodes have been but still could have been better.

I can't believe the Mane Six didn't catch on sooner that they had the wrong pony. I mean, really? They didn't think she was acting even slightly strange for a pony who's supposedly the chairman/mare of the Equestria games(I think that's what she was)?

Also, is it just me or is that "Sunshine, sunshine" thing that Twilight and Cadence do whenever they're together getting kind of annoying? I thought it was pretty cute for awhile but after seeing it like five times it starts to get old. I know it's their thing but I don't think they need to do it every time they see each other.

Anyway, for the positive things. I thought it was interesting how this episode intertwined with last week's. Still too bad that Spike always gets the short end of the stick. He really should have gotten to go with them especially considering that he was the one who saved the Crystal Empire. And Rainbow Dash and her dad(Rainbow Dad is what I'm calling him) are adorable together! Seeing that Dash's mom isn't with them, I'm guessing Dashie was raised in a single parent household? Now we just need to see Fluttershy's family.

Not a bad episode. Oh, and I forgot to add that I really wish we could have seen the Equestria games. Maybe we will and it's just going to be like the Grand Galloping Gala: we'll just see them in a later episode.

Twilight does look pretty cute with wings. Now that she's a princess I wonder what that means for Celestia and Luna. Also, does this mean that Twilight's going to be immortal like they are or possibly like Cadence(assuming Cadence is mortal)?

In the other picture, is it just me or does it look like Apple Bloom's head was cut off? I just think it looks like pretty odd position.

^^I do not believe for alicorns to be immortal, as there is no real evidence.  Remember, 1,000+ years =/= immortality.  They may very well have a limit we do not know about.

As for Twilight's role, who knows?  We'll have to wait and see.

It may also be that their tails and manes have to look more like Celestia and Luna the like a normal mane and tail like most other ponies and Cadence has.  Though we've not heard if Cadence is immortal or not.

Well, given that her name is Twilight Sparkle, the six stars on her flank (which have 42 points by the way...hmmm), and her colors, it must have something to do with the evening.

My theory is that Luna, though she has power over the moon, can only bring out so few stars, and Twilight is meant to bring out a lot more. Buuuuut that's probably not true, it's just a guess.

^^I do not believe for alicorns to be immortal, as there is no real evidence.  Remember, 1,000+ years =/= immortality.  They may very well have a limit we do not know about.

As for Twilight's role, who knows?  We'll have to wait and see.
Yeah, that is true. I guess there is the possibility that Celestia and Luna aren't immortal but could have eternal youth seeing as how in Granny Smith's flashback in Family Appreciation Day, Celestia looked the exact same as she does now.

In a slightly unrelated note, I hope in season four, we get some clarification on Celestia and Luna's family because their family tree makes no sense at all.

I'm glad Gilda never returned she was the worst character ever. I hate those characters so much. And I think some Brony Meetup Groups should do a Friendship Is Magic Bingo Game. And I wonder that myself. I wonder if Twilight now is gonna be immortal since she is now a princess.

On the subject of Gilda, I always find it interesting how many Bronies consider her to be such a bad character. The fact that she wasn't intended to be likable and that her character does a good job of being unlikable(seeing as how most of the fans can't stand her) actually means that she's a good character.  Now personality wise, yes she is by far the worst on the show but if what we're going by is what the creators intended to do with her, for her to be like, etc., then I do think her character worked in that scenario.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing outstanding ending to season 3. I loved all the song's and the story and a amazing finish to a semi okay season. This to me made up for all the bad episodes in season 3. I for one loved this episode. Each song was heart felt and very good. A mixture of drama and comedy was perfect. I give this episode a 9.5/10. Outstanding well made and thought out episode. I can't wait for season 4. And I'm proud to be a brony in this community. Through the good and bad times this is a good community to be in. So Glad I got into this show. This show is amazing and always will be amazing. A Amazing finale. I liked all the season finales a lot. I hope you guy's enjoyed this episode as much as I did.

Okay, I am just done watching it, but the streaming channels have been difficult to work with.  As such, I missed the first 5 minutes of the episode.

ARGH!! -_-

So, I won't be able to give my full thoughts until late tonight when I'm done watching the YouTube Version.

Though trust me, there's a big shock half way through.  You seriously won't believe what happens.

Just one thing to say with all I did see...

FAR FROM AS TERRIBLE AS THE PRE-EPISODE HATERS HAVE BEEN MAKING IT OUT TO BE!!!

I will not believe any opinion that is solely based on hatred for Twilicorn.  That is hatred that must be set aside to understand how good it is.

One last thing I will say...

It is OVERLOADED with songs.  Seriously, more than half the episode is singing, which I don't think is a bad thing, so long as the songs are good, which they were.

That is all, and I shall await everyone's opinions on this.

Just finished watching it and I've got to say that this is my favorite episode of the season (Sorry Babs, your episode's still a solid 2). I was amazed by how many songs this episode had(I thought they were gonna for an all out musical). This season may have started with a bit of a whimper but it ended with a BANG!

Man, Twilight sure has come a long way. From being a reclusive unicorn who only cared for studies and saw friend making as a waste of time to a unicorn/alicorn who values her friends above all else(Possibly even studying). I can't wait to see where her story goes from here.

I know just how Shining Armor felt at the end. I too had liquid pride.

Well, I didn't think that Twilight becoming a unipeg or pegacorn was a good idea, but the writers made it work despite this being a cash grab by Hasbro. I'm looking forward to Season 4.

Post by: Petrie85 on February 16, 2013, 07:53:26 PM
Yeah I also got teary eyed at the end of the episode. And there where seven songs in a 22 minutes episode witch was amazing and very good. I liked all the song's they played in this episode. Hope season 4 will be good. I liked how it turned out.

Post by: LBTDiclonius on February 16, 2013, 11:17:50 PM
I had a feeling the writers would make me fall head over heels for Twilicorn.

Anyway, I CANNOT HOLD ALL THESE FEELS OF LIQUID PRIDE. The finale was just so amazing, I cannot begin to describe it. However, the only problem I found with it was that the first few minutes were really rushed. It was like, not even five minutes in and we already had two songs, and we were already in the whole, "oh no! I crushed my friend's destinies, poor me'" thing. The creators spent more time on the whole coronation than did on the events leading up to it. While I did like the coronation, I just wished we could have had a bit more depth added to the beginning of the episode, and little less songs, not that they weren't bad.

Also, is it just me, or did the very beginning song scream out, "DISNEY!"?

Looking forward to season 4!
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 16, 2013, 11:34:23 PM
Okay, I just got caught up.  The only thing I did miss was the starting song and Twilight finding out everything that had gone wrong.

I will admit, it does feel rushed.  However, as I think back through this season, a good chunk of episodes were rushed as well.  The third season in of itself felt like it was originally planned to be longer.  One with multi-part episodes, much like the original 1980s MLP was.  Unfortunately, the writers had to make shortcuts for whatever reason here.

I wouldn't be surprised if the last episode was meant to be a multi-parter as well.  The songs helped in making sure that they got it done in the time limit they were given.

I am one who has a hard time crying, but I did feel like doing so with the Princess Twilight's speech near the end.  I'm not one who is ashamed to admit tears, unlike Shining. (Liquid Pride... right! :rolleyes: )

Oh, and the fans pointed out that Derpy reappears at long last near the end.  Yet, they tried REALLY hard to keep her hidden.  It was as if they were hiding her from the hypocritical parents that were against her.  So yeah, I think the writers might be trying to pull a "screw you" on them.  We'll have to see though.

Overall, it's good for what it is.  The songs are good and they did very well with the whole plot of the episode.  Definitely a satisfying one to end on.

Well, time to start waiting for the next season again.  Last one felt like FOREVER to come.  A part of me thinks that the delayed wait was due to the writers being forced to do 13 episodes, but who knows? :P:

Anyways, that's all for now and I'll see ya later! :wave
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on February 17, 2013, 02:22:12 AM
Just finished watching it.  Didn't see Derpy.  It does feel rushed, like a story meant to be 2 parts and made in to a 1 parter instead.  Overall I did like it, though it did have way more songs then I think any episode before it had.  

The main 5 with wrong cutie marks could well be toys for Hasbro to come out with.  That would not surprise me.

One of Derpy's appearances has her winking. Probably to the Bronies. "It's okay, I was just helping the Doctor fix his cutie mark"

Post by: landbeforetimelover on February 19, 2013, 02:24:30 PM
Well that last episode kinda sucked.  Had a few good songs in it, but honestly I haven't liked ANY of the songs after season 1.  We didn't really get to see anything but Twilight's transformation.  Have no idea how bucked up this is gonna turn out.  Hopefully in the next few episodes of the next season they smooth this over somehow.  I can't imagine "Princess Twilight Sparkle." continuing to be the studious little unicorn that lives in the Ponyville library after this.  I just don't see how the series is going to continue the way it was before after this.  "Yeah, let's head on over to Twilight's" is not something I can see the other members of the mane 6 saying now.  Twilight was one of my favorite characters before.  But now I don't know.  "Princess Twilight Sparkle" just doesn't do it for me.

Having listened and watched the scene where Celestia sang; I didn't like that part.

Mainly because it was a basically an "astral powerpoint". I had expected something more.

Anyways, the reveal that Celestia had set Twilight up to be princess from the start gave me very bad feelings.

What's done is done I can't believe you guys are still bickering and whining. I for one liked all the song's in the season 3 finale. They where good and I get them stuck in my head all the time. It didn't bug me since I knew from day one that is what was gonna happen anyhow. And I'm also curious about what season 4 is gonna bring to the table.

Man, talk about being bias to the extreme! "WHAT!!111??? FAV NO C3NT3R!!!11?? D1S S3AS0N SUCKORZ!!11" So your favorite character didn't get to be the center of attention for an episode this season.  Big Deal!!

The way I look at it, only 13 episodes?  Someone was bound to get the shaft.  Shame it had to be Rarity, but I like to think they made up for it by giving her so much extra screentime to the point where she was practically the second centralized character in some episodes.  Yet, that doesn't seem to matter to these Rarity worshipers who are crying for blood.

Can't even reason with some people I guess. -_-

Introducing the very first, fully-completed, fanmade episode of My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic.

Click the picture for the trailer.

Note that this story is meant to take place in Season 2, as that is when the project started.

So, what do you think?

Could be interesting.  I wonder if hasbro will shut it down or not.

The guy got Hasbro's official permission to make it for his senior project, so that's very unlikely.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted anything here for a while; but whatever.

Be honest with me here, when you saw this scene...
(http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130217121623/mlp/images/thumb/0/02/Rainbow_Dash_and_cannibalistic_animals_S03E13.png/640px-Rainbow_Dash_and_cannibalistic_animals_S03E13.png)

...was this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyophYBP_w4) the first thing you thought of?

Seriously though, I thought the finale was great and I can't wait to see what new challenges lie ahead of Twilight Sparkle with her new place in Equestria.

Actually when I first saw that scene I thought 2 things at the same time.  1 of them was very similar as I heard someone on the brony show say when they streamed the episode as part of their show, "why are herbivores wanting to cook and eat a pony?"  I can see omnivores doing that.  

The other thing was you'd think she'd realize she is bad with animals and maybe go ask some of her friends for help before it got anywhere this bad.

The Crystal Heart Spell is a pony book with an expected launch of April, but people that visit Scholastic bookfairs can pick it up a bit early (usually an elementary school thing).  The big thing here is the actual content.  While I can't check it here in front of me, the submitter (Sergio) is saying that it is a direct followup to the season finale, though the cover doesn't really hint at that.  The expanded synopsis on the back gives a bit of added information:

    A royal event has turned Twilight Sparkle's life upside down. To learn how to handle her new status, Twilight goes to Princess Cadance for some guidance. The princess shares her own story about how she came to rule the Crystal Empire and a magic spell that helped her follow her heart. Inspired by Princess Cadance, Twilight Sparkle sets off on a quest for the Crystal Heart Spell!

TwilAUGH (EDIT for people getting here by following links from elsewhere: I'm not the source; everything in the quoteblocks is straight from comments here by richfiles, who got the book from Sergio/BLAMEY0URFATE.)

Tons of SPOILERS posted by a guy who got next month's Expanded Universe Tie-In Novel Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell from the guy who notified Equestria Daily last month that TSatCHS is already available through Scholastic Book Fairs:

Holy horse manure!!!
A "Purple Rain", "The Princess Bride", and "The Twilight Zone" references, Cadance spelled Cadance, And Twilight confirmed to having opulent quarters in Canterlot, but choosing to remain in Ponyville with her friends, all in the FIRST SIX PAGES!!!

Alicorn is defined in the book as "a special breed" that is "able to harness the magical powers of the Unicorns, the flight abilities of the Pegasi, and the strength of a good, true heart of an Earth Pony." Nice confirmation on the way the nature of alicorns reflects all three pony breeds.

Derpy gets an early cameo... Sadly, the Cakes are out of muffins... THE HORROR!!! ◵◠◷

Twilight refers to Cadance as her "Pegasister-in-law" when deciding to head north and visit her.

San Fransiscolt. That is all! XD

You don't have to be a Unicorn to become an Alicorn.
I repeat... You DO NOT need to be a Unicorn to ascend to Alicornhood!
Cadance was an orphaned pegasus, found in the forest and taken in by an Earth Pony village.
The book's writer was obviously privy to official canon information...
Cadance used her special talents for love and compassion to reform a new villain. The villains necklace amplified both their powers. The book specifically refers to Cadance being surrounded by magical energy and taken to a "Strange Place" where she met Celestia and became a princess. Celestia "adopts" her as her niece, and brings her to Canterlot.
Remember, this was written before Magical Mystery Cure was released!

Cadance defines her own destiny to "lead other ponies with my strengths of True Love and Tolerance." Yes, it's capitalized.

Cadance also refers to Twilight: "Of course, my dear new sister", seemingly carrying the idea of alicorns adopting each other as family.

LOLOLOL! Pinkie's Party Time watch is referenced on multiple occasions! What time is it? It's time to PARTY!!!

Gilda AND Trixie leading on and influencing a necklace corrupted Twilight! errmergherd, wat!

Dear God!!! There's book fort reference!!! XD

Interestingly, The writer is privy to the "Strange Place" where Cadance meets Celestia and becomes and Alicorn, but states that the last time all the Mane 6 visited the Crystal Empire was when they held the Crystal Faire and searched for the Crystal Heart to resist King Sombra. This lends credence to the author being specifically made privy to the Alicorn ascension story, and that this was known before the Equestria Games were revealed. It has been said Magical Mystery Cure was written in November of 2011.

The big special moral at the end of the story... "Now I know that a princess is not defined by the things she chooses for her kingdom. All that matters is how she treats other ponies, especially her friends. Princess or not - we are all equal ponies!"

Let that shoot down the "Twilight is above her friends" arguments. This book's writer was clearly given access to inside knowledge to write this book. the fact that it both opens with Twilight choosing her friends in Ponyville over the opulent castle, and her declaring herself an equal to her friends at the end, pretty much shoots those arguments right out of the party canon. :p

Don't take the Trixie parts too seriously, while she would be loathe to admit it, her part is rather minor (GASP).

This book is clearly written before knowledge of Magic Duel or Games Ponies Play, but given the accuracy of Cadance's ascension, the author was specifically given prior knowledge of The ascension process from Magical Mystery Cure. In general, the book is a one off, but the author was clearly fed knowledge about alicorns that's too specific to be a coincidence. That, and it's appearance just after the season finale, suggests that this was intentionally released as a compliment to the finale.

As for Trixie... She does team up with Gilda to put on a show in the Crystal Empire. She's still telling her "stories" again... Meaning she's being a show mare. Go figure, Twi's friends break it up. Gilda basically tells Twilight that "If she were a princess, she'd do what she wants, and not listen to anyone else". Due to certain elements in the story, this messes Twi up. Gilda mostly acts as the antagonist. Trixie is more in there to be Trixie.

It's obvious that this book was written before Magic Duel or Games Ponies Play, as it misses details pertaining to both of those episodes (namely Trixie's reformation, and the second visit to the Crystal Empire by the Mane 6). Given the uncanny similarity of Cadance's ascension to Twilight's ascension in Magical Mystery Cure though, the author had to have been given prior knowledge of the ascension process from Hasbro. The knowledge this author has about alicorns is far too specific and detailed to be a coincidence. That, and it's appearance just after the season finale, suggests that this was intentionally released as a compliment to the finale, and that Hasbro gave the author detailed advance knowledge of alicorns and their ascension process, to allow this book to be planted as a compliment to the finale.

Actually, there is even the possibility that the author had limited knowledge of Magic Duel. There IS a necklace that is involved in Cadance becoming an Alicorn, but it does not fit the description of the Alicorn Amulet. If there was limited knowledge there, it's entirely possible that the author wrote around "a necklace that can amplify the wearer's power" but filled in some planks themselves. This detail is not known.

Man sounds like a cool book I may need to pick it up someday. And that is true Kor even tho the other generations where horrible but if you like them that's cool. And I respect your choice I personally hated all of them but I watched every single generation and suffered through them. I really hated every single generation. 1-3.5.

Sounds like an interesting book.

I've seen some stuff of generations 1 and 2.  I greatly prefer the current one.  I think MLP:FIM is generation 4.   Of the ones left I think I preferred 1 over 2.  I've never seen 3 or 3.5 but clips and the openings.

For some reason, spelling "Cadance" as "Cadence" is much more natural to me.

Anyways, the book does sound interesting but I personally prefer the darker, grittier fanfictions.

Personally, I don't get why people are angry with Twilight becoming an alicorn, I think it is becuse it off balances the two of each type pony ratio. but I highly doubt they'd kill the series by messing with her personality. people on youtube are condeming a season that has yet to air.

Sometimes these guys seem to forget the show is aimed at little girls.


The whole Alicorn was rushed tho would of been better as a two-part if you ask me.

A Canterlot Wedding remains my fav episode so far.

Best songs in the series.


I am a Pegasister yes,but I don't go crazy over it.

I agree, the season 3 finale did seem rushed, as I think I said earlier.  I guess Hasbro wanted that change to sell new toys or something.  Maybe like I read one of the writers on beast wars said was the reason they introduced transmetals and had Optimus Primal change as often as he did, dictates from the higher ups at Hasbro.

Well, considering they only had 13 episodes, I'd say they did a good job with the finale. Yes, people need to remember that this is merely an above average children's show. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Post by: Kor on March 09, 2013, 12:45:40 AM
It sorta feels to me like they maybe wrote out the first draft, then realized it would have to be only 1 episode then had to rewrite it into 1 episode.  Not that I think it was badly written, it just seems rushed.

My Little Pony is aimed at girls.

I personally hated season 3 except a few episodes where not bad. I loved the season finale a lot. All the song's where amazing and very good.  And the community always find something to wine about since they can't man up and just accept the fact she is a Alicorn and just live with it.

God, I hate over-sensitive people! Someone was talking about their experiences with disabilities and how they felt that Derpy was a offensive stereotype. I politely engaged in a discussion with them about, calmly stating my opinion that Derpy isn't offensive, when suddenly I get a BUNCH of people jumping down my throat for supposely "pushing my world viewpoints on a poor, helpless disabled person". wut.

Let's see, I got called "s**t head", among other things, for daring to suggest to a disabled person that Derpy isn't offensive, and I wasn't even mean about it. The kicker is that the person I was speaking with agreed that Hasbro handled everything wrong, and we weren't even arguing! So I acted in kind to these morons and I get treated like the bad guy!

This is why people who loved Derpy's scene get so defensive! We get treated like crap by people who did hate her!

I for one didn't find Derpy offensive at all. I think she is a inspiration to the fan base. A lot of people look up to that character and saying it's okay to be different. It's okay to be who you're. I for one love Derpy she is my favorite side character along with DJ-Pon-3. She has helped change a lot of bronies in the fandom. I loved that about Derpy. It's sad that parents freaked out over her when she was only sending a positive message not a negative message to people. I for one look up to derpy and say she has changed my view on myself witch is something that no other characte has done. Hope she is back in season 4.

Post by: The Chronicler on March 19, 2013, 08:30:14 PM
Okay, here's where I now stand with MLP:FiM...

Over the last few months, I've been finding lots of fanfics on FimFiction.net that I was interested in reading, but simply haven't found the time to actually read them. With no easy way to go back to them once I did find time, my only option was to simply open each one in a new tab and leave it open until I had finally read it. (I never shut down my laptop all the way, just closing it to sleep mode or hibernate mode, so all windows and tabs remain open all the time.) Unfortunately, by about a month ago, that number of unread fanfics grew to over a hundred, and leaving that many tabs open all the time really slowed down my laptop. I finally decided to become a member there, just so I can have a "read later" list. Now I don't need to keep so many tabs open, I can just pick from a list of my own choices whenever I have time to read MLP fanfics. (I certainly made the right decision, because now that list has nearly doubled to two hundred. :o )

In addition, although I'm interested in actually watching this show, I'm not sure if there's a site where I can reliably find every episode (these takedowns on YouTube I keep hearing about aren't encouraging). (I take things with an all-or-nothing approach; either I watch all of the episodes or none at all, I don't like doing things partway and incomplete.) Instead, I decided last month to do the next best thing: read the summaries on the MLP Wikia. I read the summary page, transcript page, and gallery page for each of all 65 episodes, giving me a very good idea of what the show is actually like, rather than relying on fan material. (All I'm missing now is what their voices sound like.)

Like I said previously, I won't consider myself a true "brony" until I actually watch an episode of this show, so I'd say I'm now just one step away from that. :)

Anyway, since I talked about fanfics, I'd like to give some recommendations.
 - I've found a total of 16 crossover fanfics with Bionicle, but many of them aren't that great. If I had to chose just one, I'll point you to this one: BIONICLE: Toa of Harmony (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/55241/BIONICLE%3A-Toa-of-Harmony) It's basically the first year of Bionicle, but the Toa are replaced by the Mane 6, and Takua's adventures are done by the CMC instead. It's still in progress, but has received relatively recent updates. I just hope it doesn't get abandoned like many others I've found.
 - I've also read three short fanfics that are basically about one of the Voyager space probes arriving in Equestria and the ponies find the gold record onboard and play it. Unfortunately, none of them really stand out above the others, so I'll just link to all three of them and let you decide: The Golden Record (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/39007/the-golden-record), The Interstellar Record (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/83685/the-interstellar-record), The Golden Record (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/86244/the-golden-record) (Yes, the first and third have the same title, but they are in fact different stories by different authors.)

I've been looking at this thread since yesterday and I just decided to make time to watch all the episodes so I could give my two cents on the series.

At this point so far, my favorite mane pony is AppleJack, my favorite cuite mark crusader is Sweetie Belle, with a leaning towards Scootaloo, my favorite minor character is Babs Seed, my favorite princess is Luna, and my favorite antagonist is Discord with a leaning towards Chrysalis.

It was a lot of fun, but someone's going to have to make a list of all the shoutouts

I just saw Double Rainboom and really enjoyed it.  Neat to see the characters who were in the video.  I won't say who or much else to avoid spoilers.  It's about 29 minutes long, for those who may wonder on the length.

REVIEW WITH SPOILERS POST!

Okay, first off, before I begin, I must point out exactly what it means to make a fan-made episode of pretty much anything.

For starters, you would not have on par voice acting.  Heck, the only way of really being able to match them would be to either be very talented or to take the voice clips from the episodes.  Since they had neither on hand, it's not surprising that the voice actors at least did their best to act out the voices as best they could.  Not exact, mind you, but they did come close, so good on that.

Next up, fans can have the tendency to be off with a character's personality, despite their best efforts.  Sure, all of us try hard to figure out how they would react in certain situations, but more often than not, we can be wrong about such a thing. (A few controversial things come to mind.) So the fact that the personality of Twilight and Rainbow Dash was off, is no surprise.  However, it's FAR from the point of being so off that it's unlikable.  To be honest, for the plot and story, it works and is close enough in my eyes.

Next, visual effects and such can be different from what you normally get.  A fan is likely to not have the same expensive and high-tech tools that the creators would.  Not to mention that they would likely not have the same experience in animation as the creators would.  So long as the quality and animation is good enough to tell what is going on, I don't mind much really.  The fact that the fans in question of this creation were able to make it as eye pleasing and fluent as the real thing is just mind boggling!  Complete A+ here!

And now the big one.  The Story.

Let me tell you something about being a fan.  It means you can go absolutely crazy with the plot.  You can go into areas where the writers of the show wouldn't even be allowed to go without paying royalties or get sued.  As expected, fans making crossovers can happen on a regular basis.  Yes, this was a crossover, but I really didn't mind it.

It's a crossover with another show that's geared towards girls that I absolutely love...

THE POWERPUFF GIRLS!!

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/95/Powerpuff_girls_characters.jpg)

And yes, the picture was absolutely necessary! :P:

The story is that Twilight makes a potion that enhances ones natural abilities.  Wanting to go faster than she ever could, Rainbow Dash drinks it.  As such, she goes so fast that she breaks through the fabric of space and time and ends up in the world of The Powerpuff Girls.

After saving The Powerpuff Girls from a monster, (and the girls killing it off.) Rainbow Dash gets chased by the girls.  As expected by a fan like me, Rainbow can barely keep the girls off of her.  However, the potion soon wears off, making her unable to fly due to sudden "wing cramps".

At this point, Rainbow Dash braces herself for her fate of becoming an eternal plaything for the girls when Pinkie Pie suddenly breaks through the fabric of space and time and saves her. (Courtesy of Twilight making another dose of the potion and giving it to Pinkie Pie.)

Oh, and did I mention that Rainbow's stunt nearly decimated Ponyville?

Episode ends with Rainbow Dash writing a letter to Celestia about the importance of asking before you take something that isn't yours.

So how's the story?  Pretty much something I would expect from a fan of both shows.  Can't resist the chance of a crossover when you love them too much, right? ;)

Overall, I did enjoy it.  Definitely not something you would get from the show, but that's to be expected with something fan-made.  After all, we fans have the freedom to go crazy if we wish. :D

So yeah, I liked it, but I don't think I'll be watching it again anytime soon.

That's it for me.  Until next time, see ya! :wave

I didn't pay much attention to if the characters were exactly on or not.  In my opinion on the show some of the show writers don't write certain characters as well as others and some characters are off when handled in certain episodes.  Overall I did enjoy it, especially knowing it was a fan made project.    I think they did well, all things considered.

I enjoyed new pony material.  But honestly I didn't like the episode very much.  By far if I were to compare it to all the official episodes, this one was my least favorite.  It was far too simple and dragged on forever.  Add to that the crossover and it just sorta killed it for me.  Sorry.  I'm sure it was a lot of work.  But it was worse than most the fanfictions I've read.  And that's saying something.   <_<

I don't understand why people are so excited that MLP is airing in Japan. I mean, unless you live in the country, you shouldn't be THAT excited about it. Where was all this enthusiasm when it was coming to Italy or Germany or whatever other country it aired in?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to hate on Japan or anything. I just think that the only reason people care this much is because Japan is where anime came from.

The battle of the century: an American cartoon meant for little girls vs. Japanese cartoons meant for little girls. Who will win?

Really, I don't think it's that important if Japanese people like this show. If they do, great. Means the show will have more fans and hopefully be around a bit longer. But this is no different than when MLP began in other countries so why all this extra attention for Japan? Oh right, because anime.

I'm not really worried if it does well in Japan. In all honesty I don't even really care that much. Like I said, if the Japanese like it(which seems to be the case) then that's great. Hopefully it means the show will be around for a bit longer.

I guess part of the reason I don't care that much is because I just don't like what anime has become. Despite my username I'm not that big into anime anymore(I still like the old stuff like DBZ or Detective Conan). I'm sick of all the moe/harem garbage that makes up a good percentage of anime nowadays. They're all pretty much the same thing. Even the rare non moe/harem anime that have been coming out as of late don't sound that interesting. The only "new" anime that sound interesting to me are Steins Gate and Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. Who knows? Maybe there are some good anime out there I haven't learned of yet and like everything else nowadays, I just have to dig to find the good stuff.

The story's hilarious but I wish he'd stop shoving his Catholicism into the reader's faces.

Not to mention, he more often than not comes off as a pretentious jerkass.

Anyways, rumor has it the first episode of S4 will be Alicorn Twilight learning to fly.

Makes sense she'd have to learn how to fly, instead of knowing how to fly right off.  

Reminds me of the silver age reprints I read of some superman stories where very kryptonian were just as good at using their powers as superman is even if they got their powers a second previously.  & his telling supergirl she has to learn to use her powers.

Yep, subtitles and everything!  However, I do notice that the script is changed only slightly, and far from being so bad that it would cause a big fuss. (Save for those that are "Original Script Only Nazis". :P: )

See what they have to offer. :)

I read elsewhere that they have a long opening so they cut some of the episode, small bits here and there.  I have read that some Japanese fans who have seen the American version are upset by the cuts.

I found a video that has the American and Japanese version.  Japanese only voice, no subtitles.  The lower right, I think, is the Japanese version with the upper left being the American version.  I've watched the first 5 or so minutes and so far they've cut out small scenes, a few seconds here and there, removing brief scenes, stuff like that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6u37ev9ktI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6u37ev9ktI)

The other one I found had the Japanese & English voices playing at the same time, to annoying to watch.

Post by: Animeboye on May 05, 2013, 01:05:42 AM
Man, the more I hear about Equestria Girls, the worse it sounds. I saw a picture of what the characters are going to look like and I had to wonder if this was going to be a My Little Pony movie or a Bratz movie. Seriously! They look like those awful Bratz dolls. And why are they going for an anthro look? Why not just make them fully human seeing as how Twilight is supposedly going to our world. Seeing Twilight learn how to be a human would be pretty interesting.

Also, seeing as how this is going to be set in high school(you know that won't end well), I have to ask a slightly off-topic question: Why does the media make high school out to be some great, magical experience? High school sucks. Maybe not as much as middle school but high school still sucks regardless. And not just high school but prom. I went to prom and it was one of the worst moments of my life. Awful music, no good food and on top of that, my prom was at the freakin' ZOO! What school holds a prom at a zoo? Oh, I hope there's not a prom subplot in this "movie".

For Friendship is Magic's first movie, I want to believe this could be good but everything that's been revealed has been pointing to that not being the case. Maybe I'll watch it sometime but my expectations are pretty much non-existent.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on May 05, 2013, 05:13:05 PM
Here's the strangest thing for the movie.  It's not the plot or the storyline.  Nor is it the fact they are going for an anthro look.  It's that the movie is only over a month away and there's no trailer for it.

Under all circumstances, wouldn't we have one by now?  Are they just expecting the hype of the show to make it popular or something?

Not to mention, it's only appearing in certain theaters on certain days.

For the first theatrical movie of the series, I was expecting bigger.  Something's up and I just know it, but what?

Any guesses?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on May 05, 2013, 05:52:11 PM
It could be several reasons.  They may not want to put much money into promoting it to see how well it does, or expecting it to do well since it's a spinoff of a very popular franchise of theirs.

It could also be that they are treating it like other shows that get a small theatrical release.  In fact, there was a whole series in the mid-west called Kid-toon Films that put shows like Dinosaur Train on the big screen on weekend mornings as a family friendly choice (How many G films are in theaters nowadays, compared to fare for older people).  Maybe Hasbro is going this same route?

Here's the Equestria Girls trailer:

I am definitely seeing this film.

A few things based on the trailer...

Firstly, they're really going to make Spike a dog? For real? As much as I love dogs, I think that's pretty demeaning to his character. It basically says that Spike is nothing more than Twilight's pet. I mean, they couldn't have just made him human/anthro Twilight's little brother?

Secondly, it looks like my fears were right: this is going to be yet another generic high school movie. Twilight goes to high school, meets a hot guy, they go to prom(or whatever high school event it is). Oh, and the Crystal Empire crown just so happens to be part of the prom.  Also, who is that guy supposed to be anyway? Is that Soarin'?

Lastly, I just can't get over these character designs. They are awful! Every single fanart I've seen of the Mane Six as humans looks better than these Bratz knockoffs.

I'm sorry for the negativity but this really looks bad. I'm going to have to think long and hard on whether I should go see this in theaters or not.

I have a theory as to why Hasbro went with the designs they did.  It's going to sound stupid, but it is reality, sadly.

Would you believe me if I told you that some fans consider their fanart Legal Copyright Works rather than the Non-Profit Fair Use Works they are?  Because of this, those particular fans will sue ANY studio that makes anything similar to their work, regardless of the fact that it just sounds stupid, simply because it can work.

Since the beginning, fans of MLP:FiM have made human versions of their favorite ponies.  Many of which have made it to the eyes of the original creators of the show.  As such, with the possibility of a lawsuit hanging over their heads, they had to go with a design that was different from the fan works to avoid getting sued.

Yeah, makes me want to post a facehoof too.

(http://images.wikia.com/callofduty/images/3/31/Facehoof.jpg)

However, stuff like this is factual reality and it's something we have to deal with now. -_-

Stupid theory?  Yes, but one that has the best probability of being the truth.

Spike is a dog.  That is pretty demeaning.  It would make more sense, in my opinion if he were a little kid.  Maybe an odd one since maybe he'd be realistically drawn instead of the odd way the others look.  If I want to see pony characters in a high school setting I"ll go watch an episode of My Little Pony Tales.

You know, people who are saying that Spike being a dog demeans his character, I think I can prove you wrong.

If there is one thing I noted in the trailer, it's that Twilight does not understand how a human functions. (Come on, the way she ate an apple as a human, I'm sure that's saying something to you.) What's more, she has used magic most of her life and probably doesn't know how to function without it.  In a sense, she is disabled.

So what does this have to do with Spike being a dog?  Well, answer this...

What animal is the #1 companion for those that are disabled?  Yep, a dog.

You cannot deny how much dogs have helped those who are disabled, and you know this goes FAR beyond those that are blind.

Him being a dog is to NOT look at him as a pet, but as the other thing a dog is to humans.  A loyal and helpful companion.  So, if they play Spike like that, it'll show that they are matching his character in this way.

He has ALWAYS been a loyal and helpful companion to Twilight, and him being a dog is what matches him in this case. :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on May 14, 2013, 12:35:42 AM
Not knowing how to be a human doesn't really make Twilight disabled though. If anything, it's more like she's learning another culture. Say for instance, I have dinner with an Asian family. Now let's say this family prefers to eat with chopsticks(not trying to be racist or stereotypical here). As someone who has never used chopsticks in his life, you'd expect me to have some difficulty adjusting to this new method of eating. Would my not being familiar with chopsticks mean I'm disabled? Not really, it just means I'm learning something I'm not familiar with.

As for Spike being a dog, everything you said can also be applied to a younger sibling, which I personally think they should have gone with, Spike being Twilight's little brother(which he pretty much is in the show). A younger sibling can be just as loyal and helpful as a dog. Besides, what sounds better/cuter? A little boy with a crush on an older woman, or a dog with a crush on someone of another species?

Here's a little interesting tidbit.  EqD had gone to the length of extracting the trailer piece by piece, thus uncovering who would be in the movie.  From the pictures, I have only one question to ask.

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pqzKUuCOBkg/UZCqzzJtHHI/AAAAAAABZ_k/V48ka8xpfuU/s640/1.jpg)

I'm sure you all know who these three are.  What are they doing in high school?

I'm sure the age difference between the main six and these three was bigger than what this could be showing.

For me, things have gotten more interesting.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on May 14, 2013, 12:36:56 PM
The only idea I have is the main 6 may be seniors or juniors at the least and these 3 may be freshman.   Or maybe the junour high school is having a party at the same place & time as the high school is, a combined party sort of thing, or celebration.  Or they simply went to the same club after school or on weekends.  Like how adults and high school folks, and some kids, would all hang out in the mmpr era juice bar place.

I'd like to quote what a brony on BZPower said regarding his thoughts on Equestria Girls:
Quote
I'm not hugely optimistic about Equestria Girls... it's not like Twilight becoming a princess where it was the conclusion to a substantial amount of buildup, and to be honest it could be either good or bad. With that said, as with Twilight becoming a princess, I think a lot of people are jumping to conclusions a little bit too early. We've heard hardly anything about Equestria Girls that gives us reason to worry. It seems silly in some ways, perhaps, but not bad.

Now, it's abundantly clear to me that this is meant to launch a product line. The character designs have all the right ingredients for a line of fantasy fashion dolls similar to Monster High. And personally, I think this is a very bold and innovative move on Hasbro's part. Human or anthro versions of the characters are already popular with fanartists in the community, and have the potential to be just as popular with the preteen and teenage audience Hasbro is likely targeting. The characters' personalities are certainly diverse enough to launch this kind of product line around them, and indeed I think the costume designs we've seen really show how well Hasbro can take advantage of that (Ranging from Applejack's jean skirt and boots to Twilight's blouse and argyle socks to Rainbow's jean jacket and ridiculous high-top sneakers).

The main issue I have with the character designs is that unlike many anthro designs I've seen from fan artists, the characters all share a single heavily-stylized body type. But this, too, is a sure sign of product design considerations. Using the same body type means being able to have the clothes and accessories fully interchangeable between the characters, just as with the brushable pony toys. And additionally this allows girls to identify with the characters based on personality rather than based on physical traits. Similarly, the ponies have kept their skin/coat colors, which neatly avoids the race issue that can often be so controversial within the fandom while giving them another level of fantasy appeal.

I'm gonna watch the Equestria Girls special because I'm excited to see what happens with this, good or bad. It's definitely something very new for the My Little Pony brand and Hasbro has every incentive to make it work out. I'm not expecting it to have anywhere near the same mass appeal as the core Friendship is Magic TV show and brand, but as a spin-off it has the chance to make a positive impression, and I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt unless it turns out to be really and truly awful.

Normally I try not to post links to stuff from Equestria Daily but take a look at this http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/05/an-a...m-and-trot.html (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/05/an-appeal-to-fandom-keep-calm-and-trot.html)

My God. It seems like every time I start to believe I can think positively about this fandom, some numbnuts do something stupid to lower my opinion of it.

This is terrible. I'm not very optimistic about Equestria Girls either but come on Bronies! Death threats over a movie that isn't even due out for another month? The Brony fandom REALLY needs to learn to calm down. I mean, first the Derpy incident, then Alicorn Twilight and now this? I'm not surprised that some people are leaving. Hell, I bet if the fans continue to act like this, the creators might just ax the show altogether.

I swear the synopsis could have come from a multitude of (usually bad) fan fiction. Honestly, I'm not liking the designs of the characters - the skin tone looks too off for me. And Spike as a dog? Really? He'd be better as Twilight's younger brother.

Still, if I wanted high school drama in the MLP-verse, I'd watch My Little Pony Tales.

As for death threats against the show staff, not surprised. People will send death threats over the most inane things. I once got one because I posted a picture of an Atlantic Sharpnose Shark I had caught.

As far as I see, it's time some tough love was implemented.  Some mods need to toughen up and start banning those who are spewing out this hate.  Also, I wouldn't mind Hasbro taking those threats seriously and getting the authorities involved.  Some may think death threats to a company are cool, but it can lead to jail time in the end.

We do that and it just might send the message to these grown men who act worse than babies.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on May 15, 2013, 01:13:31 PM
Hasbro could get the authorities involved. Problem is they won't. They'll just look at it as fans blowing off steam.

I know I've said this quite a few times but I have to say it again: it really astounds me that the little girls that like Friendship is Magic seem more mature about it than the older fans.  At least these kids aren't making a show out to be a freakin' religion and spreading "Love and Tolerance" (God I hate when Bronies use those words)wherever they go.

Disclaimer: I think love and tolerance is a good thing, but Bronies really have no idea what those two words actually mean. Not to mention that's not what the show's about.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on May 16, 2013, 10:51:05 AM
You know, there is one last reason Hasbro is going the direction they are.  It's a fact backed up by history. (So do the research if you don't believe me.) It's the fact that whenever something controversial comes up, there's a guaranteed increase in sales.

I mean, just look over the numbers of the episode of Twilight becoming an Alicorn.  That was the most viewed episode, period.

Just check out anything controversial, and you'll see how well it sells.

With how controversial Equestria Girls is, it'll definitely sell.  Possibly even beat all movies playing at the time in sales.

If this does sell as well as I'm expecting, you just can't deny the power of controversy. :D

Please do not swear and yell things at the screen, there will be children and their families in attendance as well.

I sincerely hope no Brony does that. Even if the movie doesn't end up being very good, little girls might still get something out of it and after all, who was MLP geared towards?

I want to believe that the fandom will give the movie a try and be on their best behavior while seeing it. However, if the death threats that the creators of EQG received is anything to go by, I'm sure there are those who will make it their mission to go see the movie and ruin the experience for everyone.

Please Bronies, don't do that. Show the haters and the media that this fandom can be nice and respectful, that we can be loving and tolerant.

Post by: Animeboye on May 31, 2013, 04:52:57 PM
So the fourth comic in the MLP Micro Series released two days ago. This time, Fluttershy takes center stage.

REVIEW

So basically, the comic is about Fluttershy finding a flyer for an art competition hosted by Princess Celestia. This freaks Flutts out and we learn that Fluttershy has a talent for knitting and one of her creations is a yarn statue she made that is supposed to symbolize her learning to be brave. Worried that other ponies will not like her art but coaxed by Angel to enter, Fluttershy enters into the contest under a disguise.

PROS: It's a cute, quick little story. The art in the comic is much better than some of the other micro series' art(especially the Twilight Sparkle comic). There's also a pretty creative nod to past comic covers at the art contest.

CONS: Even though the art is pretty good, at times it can be pretty bad. I really wish the micro series would stop trying to emulate the show's designs because it's just not working. There's a reason the Rarity comic's art was the best of the bunch so far: it's because it was its own thing. It wasn't trying to copy the show. Speaking of Rarity, there are two panels with her where in the first one, she has a face reminiscent to that of the Overly Attached Girlfriend, and in the second panel, it looks like they tried to put Pony. Mov, Rarity's head on FiM Rarity's body.

Another problem is how quickly the comic goes. It was too rushed. Once it really seems to get going it just...ends. There is little to nothing going in the way of conflict and the main villain was so uninteresting that I didn't even know at first that he was supposed to be the villain. I don't think we even find out his name. No wait. I just checked. He does have a name: Praiser Pan. Still though, his name is only mentioned once, making it pretty hard to remember it.

And just a small nitpick, one that's not really just aimed at the comics but also the show. I find it kind of annoying how easily these pony's opinions can be swayed. When Praiser Pan criticizes Fluttershy's yarn statue, all the other snob ponies join in in agreement but when Celestia shows up and says she likes it, all of a sudden they do too? We've even seen stuff like that in episodes such as Green isn't Your Color.

This comic really could have been better. I would have liked an explanation for why Fluttershy decided to take up knitting. Maybe Rarity was teaching her how to knit and she enjoyed it so much she wanted to keep doing it? It was nice to see Flutts finally get her own comic but did they really have to make the story so dull? They had no other ideas for her other than Fluttershy, AGAIN learning to be brave? Oh, well. I'd give it a 6.5/10.

Post by: Animeboye on June 02, 2013, 01:57:56 AM
I do plan to give the movie a chance. I just don't have high hopes for it right now. My two biggest concerns are:

1. The high school setting. High school stories are among the most played out concepts in the history of fiction. The reason I say this is because they're always the same  two stories each time: It's either a) prom, or b) a high school(insert sport here) team preparing for the big match against some other school. Besides, high school really isn't that good. College is much better.

2. Spike the Dog. I find Spike's being turned into a dog to be very insulting to his character. It makes it sound as though he's nothing more than Twilight's pet. I mean, come on! Spike's always been her close friend/little brother. I just don't understand why they couldn't make Spike her brother. And it would have made his crush on Rarity not creepy. A little boy having a crush on an older woman is much cuter than a dog having a crush on someone of a different species.

Maybe the movie will be good. Maybe it won't. I'll reserve my judgement until I see it for myself.

I don't know.  One of the things I like about the series is the main characters are ponies.  I don't want to watch some shallow show with twisted alternate-universe human-hybrid things that resemble the mane 6.  First Princess Twilight and now this.  I think they're running out of ideas here.  As sad as it makes me feel, I think the good days of ponies might be at an end.  The first season was amazing.  The second and third seasons were pretty good too.  But this show is quickly turning into a crap-fest.  I hope it doesn't end like this. :(

Post by: Serris on June 02, 2013, 10:42:19 AM
The odd part for me is that the first season was my least favorite. For some reason, I loathed the pilot episodes. It might have to do with the fact that I absolutely hate high fantasy.

Or maybe that was when misanthropes ruled the fandom and their stories were poorly disguised and hate-filled screeds against the Human race.

--------

As for Spike as a dog. I've seen some terrible ideas from the show staff but this is one of the worst. What could have possibly been accomplished by turning him into Twilight's pet that couldn't have been accomplishes by turning him into Twilight's younger brother?

A part of me is wondering something now with this new thing of "Spike becoming a dog" thing.  Maybe we are making the same mistake that we did when it came to alicorns?  In other words, believing any assumptions we made as fact when they actually weren't?

I have to ask how did we draw the conclusion that Twilight sees Spike as a brother?  Where did that way of thinking come from?  What proof is there and can it be contradicted?

Let's discuss this and see what we can figure out from it.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on June 02, 2013, 02:45:30 PM
Well there's been more evidence that Twilight sees Spike as a son or brother than as a pet. A couple examples I can think of are:

In Owls Well That Ends Well, when Twilight finds out that Spike's been trying to frame Owliscious(however you spell his name), she scolds him like a mother or sister would scold a son/daughter/younger sibling. She doesn't say "Bad Spike! Bad dragon! What is that?"

In Dragon Quest, Twilight, along with Rainbow Dash and Rarity follow Spike to the dragon migration. Twilight doesn't follow Spike because he's her "precious little pet" or anything, she follows him to look out for him and make sure he doesn't get hurt, like a big sister would. Now Rarity, I'll admit, did treat Spike like a pet in this episode but that was just Rarity plus bad writing.

Those are just two examples I can think of. I'll try to think of more later.

Spike is Twilight's best friend/assistant so when I saw the movie trailer and they turned spike into a dog I was like why that I can agree with is very poor writing and very insulting as well. I can agree with you guys on that. The whole high school thing is kinda lame I mean to me they dipped back into My Little Pony Tales where they where in high school. So it's sad to see them dip back in a 1992 horrible series to come out with there story line and plot for the movie. And LandBeforeTimeLover I can agree with you and say that yes they're running out of ideas and I think season three was rushed to a point to make us happy so they can get it out for us. All the episodes where not bad. The two many pinkie pie's was okay I understood there life lesson in that episode. And I didn't mean any harm in my previous post. I just don't like seeing and hearing about saying something is awful without seeing it. People told me Treasure Island from Disney was awful I watched it and I loved it. I loved the story the characters and everything. So I don't like it when people judge something without at least giving it a shot. That's all I'm saying.

A new Equestria Girls trailer http://family-room.ew.com/2013/06/07/my-li...-girls-trailer/ (http://family-room.ew.com/2013/06/07/my-little-pony-equestria-girls-trailer/)

Well the plot sounds...marginally better. At least the crown serves a purpose other than to make Twilight look pretty. And Dog Spike talks now. Possibly a nod to Talking Dog from the Powerpuff Girls? I guess I can take back a bit of what I said about Dog Spike being an insult to the character. Still not entirely on board with it though.

What I don't understand is why Hasbro seems to feel the need to directly compete with Mattel's Monster High. Firstly, MLP is the far superior product. It's obvious considering how huge the fanbase is. Secondly, they had a good thing going with the characters just being ponies. This seems to be the very thing Lauren Faust was trying to avoid.

I'm not trying to knock the movie. I do plan to give it a try(and post a review of it on my Deviantart journal) but I just can't help but make some of these observations.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on June 07, 2013, 09:43:24 PM
It's likely they see that they are successful with the target audience that MLP:FIM is targed at so they want to go for the next target audience a bit older then the first.  Then if that catches on they may move on to the next one and to for young adult women or something.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on June 07, 2013, 10:22:28 PM
Because Mattel and Hasbro are competitors so they're fighting to be the better company. But I will always love Hasbro more since they make far better products. And the movie trailer looks awesome I can't wait to see this movie soon.

So did anyone else pick up the My Little Pony guidebook? I got my copy at Barnes and Noble a couple days ago. It's got some pretty cool stuff like character bios, episode synopses, concept art by Lauren Faust, etc. Plus, I love how the book is designed to look like the book Twilight was reading in the first episode.

I don't have one but I have heard positive stuff about it.  Forgot if it was the Brony Show or the Bronyville podcast, but whichever one it was briefly did mention it and said good stuff about it as I recall, a while back.

I think part of it might be because Hasbro decided to try and compete directly with Mattel's Monster High franchise. What prompted this decision though I have no idea. My Little Pony has the better character designs, the bigger fanbase, and the better stories.

So far.  It'll have more then that since it's been confirmed there will be a season 4.  & they've said the movie won't make an impact on season 4, last I heard.  This movie is just a way to try to launch another franchise, one aimed at older girls then the MLP:FIM is aimed at.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on June 17, 2013, 02:00:12 PM
Well actually there's been 65 episodes so far but with season four, the total will be raised to 91.

Man, hard to believe this series has had so many episodes in just three short years.

I know and I loved every single minute of the episodes. 1,430 minutes of good times. and meaningful helpful advice. I had a talk to my aunt about the show last night and she asked me why adult males love the show and I told her that they love the show because of the great messages in each episode and the good morals and the music was awesome. She lives in North Carolina and I showed her there was a brony meetup group where she is. My family doesn't understand bronies at all but I'm trying to explain it to them. And I read a post from a member from a friendship is magic board and she gave the movie a 7.5 to a 8.3 rating. So she liked the movie. I heard it has some jokes that the bronies would like. I can't wait in 12 days I'll be seeing it in theaters with my brony meetup group.

Got dragged to Equestria Girls. Biggest waste of my time, ever. It's not so much that the movie was horrible, it's that it was completely unnecessary. You want to see Equestria Girls? Just go to YouTube and rewatch FiM's Pilot 2-Parter episode. That's all this movie is, just with humans. This movie should have just been Twilight and the other PONIES going off on adventures. Equestria Girls is never going to become a thing, so they shouldn't even have tried. This whole venture was a big waste of time, but at least it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and that's the best thing I can say about this "film". The animation and artwork they went with had no business being in a theatre released movie. The film spends way too much time pointing out each pony as a human and it interrupts the flow, which was rushed, even without that. The setup at the beginning is at breakneck speed and so is the end.

The way they handled the villain's character development was really clunky from start to finish. Here you have here doing all these nasty things and then she suddenly turns good just 'cause she got zapped with the Elements? No. Just no. That only worked on Nightmare Moon because she was out of her mind and overtaken by her own powers. The villain has no such excuse.

The fact that the first major theater released FiM-related event did not feature them as ponies was rubbish. That's all I have to say on the matter.

The link at hand is of one who was daring enough to bring a video camera into the theater and record the footage.

For those willing, it's somewhere on EqD!  That's all I'll hint to you. ;)

Sadly, I cannot reveal more and I shall not watch it myself.  I do not wish to spoil myself before seeing it, as I already went to the trouble of asking for the day off.

That is all and I'll see ya later!

If you can't stand negative opinions of the film, then get out of here, because I'm not going to leave and I will continue to speak my mind concerning EQ.

You're really coming across as a jerk with a superior attitude. No, I did NOT complain too much, and you had no right to tell me that I did. It's my right to not like EQ if I found it severely lacking and it is also within my right to express my opinion of it.

I saw Equestria Girls and it kicked butt I actually liked it in a way. The songs where amazing and very heart warming and made me feel like I should do more to be helpful. The song's left a good mark on me. I would totally see it again. And I may even wanna buy the DVD When it comes out. The story was okay your everyday high school drama and bullies. There was some good funny parts in the movie. I gave the movie 1-10 a 8.5/10 a Good movie with a good meaningful message. Best part was the end Derpy made a cameo Hasbro loves the fans I applauded when I saw her at the end . That made the movie right there seeing Derpy what a great cameo in the movie end credits. Fantastic and good.

I watched Equestria Girls yesterday on my computer and I thought it was pretty good. While it doesn't necessarily do anything new with the high school prom plot, it did manage to make it enjoyable. Also, Spike was actually pretty funny and cute as a dog. Him being Twilight's brother would still have been a bit better in my opinion but I've warmed up to dog Spike.

The only two issues I saw with it are how Sunset Shimmer is defeated and the fact that in our world, the characters still have pony names. It just sounds weird hearing a girl, a human(although weirdly colored) girl with a name like Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash. Maybe as nicknames but for their actual names it's just strange.

Still, for their first movie, it wasn't too bad.

EDIT: I plan to give a more detailed review of it either tomorrow or the next day on my Deviantart journal. I'll link to it for anyone who wants to read.

I Can agree with you on that Animeboye. The weird subplot I was not prepared for was when she turned into a flying devil and snip and snail where also devils I was like okay kind of a different and a bit dark for a movie like this. And where I saw it the AMC theater in Lowell the employee was shocked that Equestria Girls was sold out. But I'd give it another shot.

Well what I actually meant was what happened after, how Sunset Shimmer suddenly becomes good. I didn't want to say anything about that because I didn't want to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it. The change just seemed too sudden for me. One minute she's a succubus thing ready to use her brainwashed teenage army to attack Equestria, then a minute later she's lying in a crater, crying and begging for forgiveness.

Also, season four starts in six months?

@ Animeboye Ah yeah that part I was just thinking to myself if she wanted friends she didn't have to be a B word that the other Bronies thought of her. The ending where she was crying I was like come on now you deserved what you got and you don't deserve friends. But since it's suppose to be about forgive and forget and love and tolerate they had to put that as a ending. Kinda lame to me but over all it was a great movie.


@WeirdRaptor Yeah I agree I hope with this long time period that they have each episode I hope isn't rushed and the make them better and good. And I hope they take there time for each one. And I know for sure the song's are gonna be good since it's Daniel Ingram he is a amazing animation music composer. I loved his songs from other shows he has done songs for. Littlest Pet Shop Remake the show is terrible horrible but the songs where made by him And they're amazing and wonderful. So Let's hope season four is gonna be great. Rumor has it the evil Griffon is making a comeback after being away for 2 whole seasons. I hope not but let's see what happens.

I don't doubt that Season 4 will be great. The only reason Season 3 had the shortcomings it did was because of the reduced number of episodes. With 26 episodes again, I have the upmost faith S4 will be great.
I also look forward to seeing what they do with Twicorn.

(WARNING: SPOILERS FOR EQUESTRIA GIRLS AHEAD)

In my opinion, Equestria Girls was really cute, and very well-done. Spike as a dog was pretty cool and Twilight trying to be a human was hilarious. It also had some good moments when Twilight was being reintroduced to the girls again. Did anyone kind of notice that when she met Fluttershy, it was very similar to their first meeting?

But, the mane six getting back together was a bit...rushed (when Applejack and Rainbow Dash are talking, they look like they're angry, oh wait, nope, we're all good now). Personally I thought that it could have been played out for a bit longer. At the ending when Sunset Shimmer is 'sorry', I thought that they rushed right into that. It might have been a time thing, but I thought that it was really pathetic the way she gave up like that. I thought that it might have just been a ruse at the beginning, but apparently it wasn't.

Here's another thing. What the heck was the point of Brad Flash Sentry being in there anyway? The romance was really forced and barely even touched upon, and he didn't do anything to begin with. I've heard that he's not even going to be in season 4, so why bother with it? To create drama, perhaps? He was Sunset Shimmer's ex-boyfriend after all, and we all know how that goes. Whatever, I'm still shipping TwiDash.

Personally, I really liked it. I thought it was witty, cute, and there were some parts in there that just made me smile like an idiot. Especially when the girls all sing the song in the cafeteria. Best part right there! Now, if only MY high school can be like that...

In closing, "The great and powerful TRIXIE...needs some peanut butter crackers."

I do as well. I hope it isn't gonna be rushed tho. I hope the season finally when it happens is not rushed like it was in season 3. I thought parts of the movie where done well and some parts where rushed and not done as well as other parts. most of it was rushed since they didn't have much time to work with. I'd so see it again tho.

I wouldn't say Disney's all bad. I've heard great things about Tangled and Wreck it Ralph was the best animated movie last year in my opinion. And from what I've seen of Phineas and Ferb, that seems like a pretty good show too(I love Perry and Doof).

Someone on here mentioned that season four will apparently start in December. Other than that, I don't think there's been an official date given.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on July 07, 2013, 10:06:52 PM
So, I finally told my parents about my fandom for this show, and they were actually quite accepting of it.  In fact, they even thought that the name alone seems like a good reason to watch it. (I'm guessing it mainly has to do with the "Friendship is Magic" part.)

I even told them the reasons I hid this, mainly being of how some parents are not accepting of their thirty-something son liking such a show.  Of course when you look at the reasons for not being accepting of such a thing as being nothing more than just "old ways that NEED to be let go", said reasons are just silly in the end.

I even told them of my embarrassment about the fandom itself.  Mainly of how some tend to act worse than babies.

In all truth, it only came up because I had asked for this upcoming Saturday off and they would want to know why.

I have yet to go into greater detail of the show, but it'll at least be the start of them knowing about something I like and getting to know it as I get more comfortable talking about it.

It's a very touchy subject for me at this point, but for the time being, I'm just glad they accept the fact that I'm a fan of the show.  I shall reveal how they feel about it as I start sharing it with them as time goes.

For now, see ya later! :wave

Tangled was a good movie with a not so good ending. Where she sheds a tear to bring her dead loved one back to life. What a horrible thing to teach kids. That is basically saying if you cry your dead loved one will come back to life. Bite me that is a message a company life Disney shouldn't send to kids. What a load that was. And Poke my family is accepting of me liking the show as well. They pick on me but they don't care that I love this show and the meaning behind it.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on July 10, 2013, 03:58:08 AM
:rolleyes  I have to roll my eyes whenever I see someone criticize a fantasy film for bringing back the dead. The same thing happened in the original fairy tale, because...fairy tale. Don't blame the movie. Also, that isn't the message that got sent out and you know it. Give me a freaking break! I'd seen a dozen movies when I was little that had dead people come back and I never once thought it was possible. You give kids too little credit. If anyone is to blame for any kid who might think that they can bring someone back to life by crying on them, then it's THEIR PARENTS for not telling them that movies aren't real. This movie is not responsible for how strong a grip on reality its audience has. If you're going to get upset with this, then you might as well get upset with Aladdin for performing dangerous stunts constantly throughout his movie. After all, the kiddies might try to mimic him by your logic.

Besides, the movie goes out of its way to show that Rapunzel is a special case and not the norm at all, because of the magical energies in her body. I suppose you also hate The Lord of the Rings for bringing Gandalf back because his task wasn't finished and Narnia for bringing Aslan back because he took the punishment for someone else. I also find it hilarious that you actually seem to think that a Disney movie was really going to kill Flynn/Eugene.  :lol

Bite me you're just deliberately nitpicking so you can have something to hold against Disney whether it's fair to or not. You can take your Disney-hating attitude elsewhere, pal. At least when I criticized Equestria Girls, it was legit.
The fact of the matter is Tangled is a good movie, beginning, middle AND end.

The Beast in Beaty and the Beast ALSO came back to life because Belle said she loved him. I suppose that also sent out a bad message to children.  :rolleyes
And I suppose The Little Mermaid is bad for children, too. Like I said, you're just looking for reasons to hate on a Disney film.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on July 10, 2013, 06:51:29 AM
The Little Mermaid had a few parts in the movie that shouldn't have been there. In there kingdom you seen a male body part in one of the pillars the priest get's aroused when she turned into a human you can see her upper body area. Other than that it was a great movie with great songs and a good story line. The sequel sucked I hated it. Beauty And The Beast good movie with good music story and it had a lot of good drama. One of my personal favorites. Saw it in theaters back in 1991 and loved it. Princess And The Frog Loved the movie. I loved how parts where dark and the villain was good. James Cumming played the lighting bug and the music was good. So I love Disney but I also like pointing out all of Disney's Flaws they made.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on July 10, 2013, 02:58:45 PM
That was the Priest's knee. Yeah, I'm not buying your claim. It's so obvious you were just gunning for a recent Disney film.

Oh, by the way, I went onto the IMDb board for Tangled and asked what others thought of your claim that Tangled sucks because Eugene was revived by a tear. Here are their responses:

This is from a guy called FilmFreak94:

Quote
That's the sole reason it sucks? Really? Because her tear healing Eugene and bringing him back from the dead was unrealistic? And the hair wasn't? And what about the 'bad message to kids' bull. What, is crying bad? I guess I can see how you could interpret it into kids believing that if they cry hard enough their loved one will come back to life but that's just insulting to their intelligence. I don't know a single kid who actually believes or believed that by crying or doing any other magical notion that they could bring back a loved one or dead pet or something.
 
Give kids some credit at least. They can handle a little fiction without thinking it's reality. Yeah that guy is full of it.

This is from a guy called The-Reb:

Quote
The exact same thing happened in 'Snow White' (though with a kiss instead of a tear, of course). Ask buddy if he has a problem with that too, or with any of the other bajillion stories where a dead character is brought back to life via magic.

I will relay your responses back to IMDb.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Ptyra on July 10, 2013, 03:32:02 PM
The stuff with the Little Mermaid stuff actually aren't (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/mermaid.asp) true (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/minister.asp)

And you'd be hard pressed to find a show that DOESN'T teach kids "bad messages". It's not going to happen. Parents have to be responsible and explain that those things don't happen and that it's just a story.

Rapunzel's tear recovering Eugene was actually a shout-out to the original fairy tale. I'll fast forward to the ending.

So the witch found out that Rapunzel (who was named after a type of lettuce that her mother was craving) had a lover that was visiting her. So she cut her hair and took her away. She used the hair to lure her lover in. When he got to the top, he found the witch and she stabbed out his eyes (or she shoved him out the window and thorns destroyed his eyes.)
For years he wandered around blind until Rapunzel discovered him a few years later, with their twin children. She wept when she found him and her tears healed his vison.

The idea behind the tear healing him is that they were vestigial remnants of the healing powers of her hair.

I said it was a good movie except that one part. other than that it was great. And those points in the little mermaid are true and you need to look at the facts like I did and know those claims are true. Other people have seen that male body part in  the pillar in the kingdom trust me the guy got fired right afterward. http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Disney/Mermaid.html (http://www.anomalies-unlimited.com/Disney/Mermaid.html) God I'm tired of being right!!!!.

Post by: WeirdRaptor on July 10, 2013, 04:27:44 PM
Except you're not. Those are just rumors, and no, you're not right on any front. And actually, the part where Rapunzel heals Eugene is also just as good as the rest of the movie. Sorry, but you're just wrong. The part where Rapunzel healed Eugene is in the original fairy tale and has been for hundreds of years. The fact that you think little kids would actually think that they can cry their back to life shows that you have too little respect for their intellligence.

I just love how you didn't bother replying to that guy's point about Snow White. It's because you know you're wrong. You have no argument. You just want to be bitter towards New Century Disney works.

I love being right.

Your're getting off-topic and it's kind of pointless, if you two were to ask me. Tangled was a great movie, totally unrealistic, like Rapunzel's hair and the tear bringing back Eugene, but there's really no need to argue about it, I'm sorry to say.

@ Petrie: Thank you. Please, next time I have something harsh to say about something pony related, please do not take it as me just being hateful. My dislike of Equestria Girls has NOTHING to do with just being different, I assure you. I have accepted several new things the creators have done with the show with open arms. My problem with Equestria Girls is that the flaws were real deal-breakers for me. And, I really think that FIM's film debut should have had them as ponies.

I'm sorry, too. I tend to hold grudges long after sanity depicts I should.

@ FreckledOne: That would be the absolute last straw for me. It took a little getting used to in order to accept Twicorn, but now I'm ready to see how they develop that.

@ campion1: I can see you lurking around the topic. Don't even think about jumping in with one your disruptive comments about how we shouldn't be so into this show.

Post by: Kor on July 10, 2013, 08:24:23 PM
I can only think the delay in the next season may be due to the work on the movie.  I've no idea myself how long it took to do the movie.  

I heard on either the Bronyville Podcast or the Brony Show, not sure which one, that on of the writers or voice actors has said that the movie won't impact season 4.  Makes sense. Hasbro has no idea how well or bad the movie will do so the logical thing to keep MLP:FIM impacted is not to have it involve the movie at all.  I guess none of the movie characters will be mentioned, unless it's in a way unconnected to the movie.

@Weird Raptor You're Welcome I can see why you sorta didn't like it. When I first saw the movie I was like wow okay it's weird to see them as furry's but it was kinda cool and very different. And yeah I agree with that. I didn't get why they wanted to fall back on to a high school drama about bullies and so on. It was a okay concept. But the ending was like what the heck did they take? They went from humans into satin's minons. That part threw me way off. And the ending was to me lame and dumb. Sorry she wanted friends no she wanted to destroy everything. What a horrible way to show you wanted friends. Other than that kick butt song's and of course DHX Media Animation always good. What are your thoughts?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

Okay, so I've seen the movie for the first time today.  I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.  In fact, a part of me likes it to the point where I want to pick apart the reviews of every nay-sayer out there, but the effort is probably more than it's worth.

There wasn't much to hate on it and what I didn't like just felt like nit-picking in the end.

One thing I will say is that the movie does feel rushed in a few areas, but that seems to be what I've come to expect from Hasbro lately.  So it really didn't bother me too much.

Also, the songs are good but not memorable.  I've seen the whole thing and I can't even remember one song that left an impression on me.

It's not a great movie, but I do feel it to be better than what a lot of nay-sayers are putting out.  It is enjoyable and I had a good time watching it.

See ya later! :wave

Speaking of Equestria Girls, what were the times it was playing at everyone's theaters? Mine had it for two days and each showing was only at ten in the morning.

I think in the state I live in there was only 1 theater, and not one near where I live.  Though I have seen the movie.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on July 13, 2013, 11:06:14 PM
It only aired at 12:00 at the theater I went to.  There was quite a full house of pony fans there.  Even a whole group of girls who dressed up as members of the Mane Six.

There was another place it was airing, but that was at 10:30 AM, which I felt to be too early to make it on time, since I would be taking the bus.

Another reason I chose the 12:00 one?  It was at a location I knew VERY well, and had the easiest route connecting for me.  It's the main reason it won my choice of where to go today. :)

I wonder why the theaters were showing it so early? I mean, most people are at work by then and kids probably wouldn't wake up early to go see a movie. I think it would have been more reasonable to show it like, around three or something. At least then it's later in the day so more people will be off from work/school.

Except that it only aired on Saturday/Sunday.  Most people who work have those days off.  On top of that, all of the days it did show was when school was out due to Summer Vacation.

I wonder if the Brony show will do that.  They have shown some episodes as part of their feed, with their commenting on the episode at the same time.  One of times was when one of them did the rules for a drinking game and randomly picked 2 episodes.    Though one of the participants was underage and used Mountain Dew instead of an alcoholic drink.

Just further proof that we NEED to clean up our fandom.  I know mods of various areas are reluctant to do so because of what certain individuals have done to help the fandom before doing something wrong, but if they are guilty of breaking rules, they need to be punished like everyone else.  It doesn't matter who they are, no one deserves special treatment in a fandom.

Okay, no way I'm missing that episode.  It MUST be seen, if only to see what further punishment a certain tiara wearing filly will get at the end of it.

Can't wait for Season 4. :)

Post by: Animeboye on July 21, 2013, 06:27:22 PM
As much as I enjoy the show, it's crap like this that makes me want it to end just so I no longer have to hear all this ridiculous Brony drama.

What's the problem anyway? Season four looks pretty promising right now. Granted, some of it seems pretty strange(won't spoil anything for those who haven't seen it/don't wish to be spoiled) but it looks like it'll be a great season.

One thing that's really getting on my nerves with this fandom are the cries of "the show/fandom is dying!!!1111" every time a season ends. Season one ends-"The fandom's dying!!!". Season two ends- "The fandom's dying!!!". Season three ends-"The fandom's dying!!!". Is this going to happen every time a season ends? Because it's really become annoying.

What is there to really complain about? When this season ends, we'll have 91 episodes of pony goodness and maybe even more if we get a season five! If anything, people should be jumping for joy.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on July 21, 2013, 08:56:12 PM
Yeah but people in fandoms like to argue a ton and cause pointless drama that doesn't need to be caused. I don't get involved in the stupid drama these fans cause since I don't wanna hear it but I have no choice but to hear it. I just sit and or stand quietly and listen and not say much at all since I don't wanna hear more fans wine like two year old's that don't get what they want. I heard a few rumors as well. And every time a season ends for me I don't wine like a spoiled brat like 95% of the fan base does I just sit and wait quietly until the new season starts. If we don't get a season 5 than that's fine with me. We had 91 great episodes. And we had a great run if it ends after this. No need to cause pointless drama over nothing that's not a huge deal to complain about in the first place. That is why I quit a lot of the pony forums way to much E-Drama over little things about this show and fan base/community. All I want to be is the happy Brony that likes what the company Hasbro made for us. That is all I care about. I love looking at the items like plushies and cards and drawings and so on. Not gonna listen to all this bickering and drama at all.

Some folks get to worked up over a show.  They may need to sit down, take a deep breath and repeat to themselves, "it's a show, I should just relax."

As for season 4 being the end, maybe, but maybe it'll have 5, 7, or more seasons.  I'm enjoying it as long as it lasts, as long as the writing is at least as good as it has been so far.  Some episodes I may not like as much as others, but when you have as many as the show has so far, that makes sense.

Yeah, if the shows next season, it will have been a great run, but I hope for just one more after that, because it would be a dream come true for me if a My Little Pony series ended up with over a hundred episodes.

I hope they learned their lesson from MMDW for S4's superhero episode and don't derail the characters.

Anyways, I wonder if they'll throw in some references to Batman Beyond or maybe Spiderman or Superman.

Finally, will there be more worldbuilding? I want to see Saddle Arabia expanded on.

I was referring to the writers who did MMDW.

It was like they barely watched the show.

I mean Dash is kind of glory hound and she has her jerkass moments but in the end, she's a good person. In MMDW, she turned into a full-on egomaniac.

Not to mention, I really can't see the others doing something so mean to their friend.

Thankfully, it doesn't seem like they're going to rush this season like they did with S3.

And I have all eight issues of the IDW Friendship Is Magic Comic Books. The 9th one just came out I think and I need to buy it. I'm collecting all of them. And I need to read them tho. I just don't have the time. Kor do you have any of the IDW Friendship Is Magic Comics?

The Micro Series is hit and miss.

Twilight's story- Terrible artwork + bland story

Rainbow Dash's story- Better artwork and story than Twi's

Rarity's story- Perhaps the best of the micro series. The artwork is nice and looks just like the main comics and it has hippy ponies. You can't go wrong with hippy ponies.

Fluttershy's story- Decent artwork(except for two certain panels with Rarity) but uninteresting story. Finishes before it even really gets going.

Pinkie's story- Second best in my opinion. The artwork is very good and Ponyacci is a great character.

Applejack's story- Pretty decent end to the Mane Six's stories. Biggest problem is that it again relies on Applejack being too stubborn to accept help to add conflict.

The next in the Micro Series is the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I don't know about the rest but I read that Princess Celestia and possibly Spike will be getting Micro comics too. And yes, the micro series will be collected into a graphic novel.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on July 25, 2013, 11:12:50 PM
If it's hit & miss I may pass on the graphic novel collection of the micro series.  

& @ Petrie85: "I do.  I have volume 1 of the My Little Pony: Friendship is magic graphic novel.  It collects, I think, the first 4 issues which I think are the first story arc.  It also has 2 2 page stories, I guess from those issues, and an art gallery in the back, which I guess are the alternate covers.

Well the Micro Series has a rocky start but the later volumes are better. The only one I'd recommend skipping is Twilight's.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on July 26, 2013, 01:49:52 AM
When it comes to comics I prefer the graphic novel issue collections over individual issues.    So hard to skip individual issues.  I may just skip getting the micro series collections since the quality seems very mixed for the writing and artwork from what you said.  Similar to the Venom limited series of I think the 90's.  The artwork and writing would vary from very good to awful.

Y'all may have heard of this: a guy marries a plushie of Twilight Sparkle. He acts like Twilight's completely real. It's like one of those "delusion fics" I'm a fan of brought to life.

I want to laugh at him for being so obesessed with the show, but at the same time, the guy clearly has serious mental health issues. And I'd feel like shit for making fun of someone with a mental illness.

God this guy need some serious help right now. He needs to see a slue of high trained doctors to help him out.  I don't even wanna read it but I did and it's creepy and very strange. But even with all the doctors his strange condition can't be helped. And if he does have a mental disorder know that I'm not insulting him since I have my own issues to worry about but this guy is pretty high on the WTF Level. And hope he realizes she will never be real or nor Twilight Sparkle be real.

@ Kor I have 8 but need time to read them. You should also collect the other 7 of them. So you can catch up. They're 4.00 a comic I know but it's worth the money. I also need to collect some of the figurines as well since I only have a couple of them. I still need 21 more blind bags as well. Next Purchase will be a Friendship Is Magic Themed Bet Set. It comes with a Comforter and Bed Sheets with shipping 116.00. I'm, gonna start to save for that soon.

He needs to go into a psycho hospital. He needs help that is very freaky and very disturbing what he is doing. I'd get this freak some help right away. He is taking the show into a whole new world and it's not normal for this guy to be doing what he is doing. I don't wanna know what kind of dirty deeds he is doing to his Twilight Sparkle Plushie toy. No I sure don't wanna know that.

I've vaguely heard,years back not looked into it at all, that in Japan some guys are doing that with certain anime characters, on forums or something.   Maybe he's schizophrenic or something, I don't know.

@ Petrie85 : I'll wait for volume 2.  I think It is due to come out on September 24.  I don't mind waiting and anyway I prefer graphic novels.  I get a number of issues at once and if I don't mind waiting I get them cheaper then per issue usually and sometimes they may have alternate covers or other artwork in the back.  I'm glad they have both monthly titles & the collected editions since that caters to both since I know there are some who prefer the monthly titles over collected graphic novels.

I do agree with you, however. Hopefully he'll kind of, snap out of it, so to speak. But, if he wants to marry a Twilight Sparkle plushy, then I say go for it, although I'm not exactly sure how he got that idea in his head in the first place. Is anyone giving him any trouble for it, though?

Maybe he is a psycho path in real life or something. Or he is a very lonely soul since he can't get a real girl friend he chooses to go down that let's have some dirty fun with a Twilight Sparkle Plushie. But anyhow I prefer the number 1-8 comics since they're good and I love the captions in them. They do a good job on making the comic books.

I would imagine he is getting quite a bit of crap for it. I mean when you go around saying you're going to marry a toy meant for little girls, I can't imagine people around him just saying "Oh, that's cool."

I wonder what he does when he decides to say, eat at a restaurant or go to the movies. Does he ask for a table for two or two tickets? Does he try to feed the plushie? That's gotta look pretty strange to the other patrons.

Y'all may have heard of this: a guy marries a plushie of Twilight Sparkle. He acts like Twilight's completely real. It's like one of those "delusion fics" I'm a fan of brought to life.

I want to laugh at him for being so obesessed with the show, but at the same time, the guy clearly has serious mental health issues. And I'd feel like shit for making fun of someone with a mental illness.
He's not mentally ill.  He's just a pervert that thinks he should broadcast his perversions all over the world.  Though I do suspect narcissism to be a large part of this.  A perverted narcissist.  Well, sadly there are many people like him.  They just don't publicize it.

I mean, seriously.  Diaper fetishes?  That's a perversion that's shared by far too many people.  F*cking sick. :x Sometimes I have a real problem associating myself with this fandom.

Apparently, Cindy Morrow and M.A. Larson will not be writing episodes for Season 4. And now we have fans who are saying that they were the heart and soul of the series and that their confidence is officially dashed. That's funny. I distinctly remember Faust being the heart and soul when it first began, and yet it kept on chugging after she left.

Yeah but it hasn't been that good since Lauren Faust left the show for good. We now have been getting Mediocre material. But it's still coming along not on the awesome scale it once was but still going along and still making new stuff for us witch is good. Season three wasn't the best but enjoyed watching it still the same. The music was always good since Dan Ingram is a god sent for the show.

I have to agree with Weirdraptor here. Season one may feel different from seasons two and three(at least to me) but they've still been good. This is just yet another case of Bronies panicking about something that doesn't need to be panicked about.

What Bronies need to get through their heads is that these people who work on the show have lives. They have things to do other than writing about cartoon horsies. Writers for shows come and go all the time. It's not something that's unique only to this show. In the animation industry, you're lucky if you get to work on a project for this long. My business of animation teacher said that the longest he's gotten to work on a series was about two years.

So yeah, Bronies do not need to freak out over something that's going to be just fine. All the other times they freaked out, everything worked out in the end. This will too.

This is just a theory I've had but I think part of it is because, to Bronies, things like Twilacorn and Equestria Girls(just two examples off the top of my head) threaten their ideas of how the canon should be. They think they know better than the writers so when there's a change(any change, be it good or bad), they throw tantrums over it.

I think another part of it has to do with fanfiction. This fandom places WAYYYYYYYY too much importance on fanfics. To most fandoms, fanfics are just a fun way to pass the time. To the Bronies however, they're serious. F***ing. Business. Basically what I think is that some Bronies want the show to adopt ideas from fanfics because they think said fanfics present a good canon. Well that's wonderful but fics like My Little Dashie, Fallout Equestria and Past Sins will never and can never happen on the show.

tl;dr: Bronies have their ideas of how the canon should go, the show writers have their ideas and they need to let the writers do their job.

Personally speaking, I always kinda knew that Twicorn was coming. No, seriously, I foresaw it as far back as the Pilot two-parter. I did so by deducing the nature of the Celestia, Twilight, and Luna's names. Celestia, is based on "Celestial", which is applied to bright, majestic, and shining things like the sun. Luna has always been a word strongly related to the moon and nighttime. Well, Twilight is one of two midway points between the two: the dawn and twilight hours, of course.
In my mind, it always made perfect sense for Twilight to become an alicorn. Okay, sure, my originalprediction had Celestia or Luna stepping down and letting a new generation of princess handle the sun or moon, which didn't happen, but hey, go me for guessing that Twicorn would happen.

Yeah, bronies take fanfics WAY too serioously. It's like they forgot just what the term "fanfic" means after a while.

& as mentioned above many of them hate change.  They would likely prefer things to be exactly the same as season 1.  Though things to change over time.  I have liked seasons 1-3 about as much equally.  As for the specific writers not being on season 4. Maybe they have offers on some other series where they are the main writer there, or they may do an episode or 2 of late season 4, or maybe 5.  Maybe their offers make them to busy to do any writing on season 4.  Maybe they think they are out of ideas for MLP:Fim.

The guy believes Twilight Sparkle's soul is in his plush. He believes she's reporting her knowledge about Earth to Equestria.

That's not perversion, that's delusional.

Anyways, I actually hated Season One.

I'm expecting one of the new writers to screw up early on as they get their bearings on the show but then we'll see good things from them.

As for canon for your fanfics, take what you like and discard what you don't want.

Make your own canon if you want. Hell, if you develop far enough, you can actually call it a 'verse or canon.

That, and most of the fanfics are poorly written, pretentious, self indulgent crap. I remember from some of the pony forums I lurk on, some fans have actually suggested that you don't need to be a fan of the show to be a Brony. Just like the fan content/love and tolerate. No. Just. No. You're not a fan of something if you don't like the source material. That's like saying you're a fan of Dragon Ball Z yet your only exposure to it has been the video games.

And I've gotta say this: a lot of the fan content...really isn't that good. Some of the fanart is good (Johnjoesco  is the only Brony artist I can name whose work I enjoy), some of the fan music's alright(the remixes are getting old though) and I've already shared my views on the fanfiction. Maybe if Bronies didn't act like they were so much better than other fandoms when it comes to the fan content, I wouldn't have such a problem with it.

I agree. You're not a fan of something if you're not a fan of it. You actually have to be a fan of FiM to be a fan of FiM. If you're a fan of the fan content, then you JUST a fan of the fan content.

Yeah... They need to stop pretending that fanon is canon and they need to stop deluding themselves into thinking that their fan works are better than other fandom's fan works. I mean, the Sailor Moon fandom alone has decently well-done live-action fan movies in the making left and right these days.

I really enjoy reading the Friendship Is Magic Fan Fictions and look at the art toys and plushies. I love to read clopfics of characters that do make a really good couple and pairing. Like Appledash Octavia and DJ-Pon-3. Those are the clopfics that I love to read. And if I have the cash I love collecting the figurines and comic books. And I'm not complaining about the show I did like season three a lot not that much. I got all the life lessons if was teaching us and so fourth. All the songs where great and so on. So all and all I enjoyed it I give it a 7/10.

Oh, and on a topic of pony? Uh...I finally watched Equestria Girls yesterday. My verdict? It was a high okay. Nothing too bad about it, and I did like some parts, but the movie didn't particularly drag me in either.

PS: According to the website, the last page I read before I left was page 187. We are now up to 220. I have a lot of catching up to do...

I've noticed that it seems some episodes, in my opinion, had quick endings.  Maybe one or a few of the writers are bad at writing endings, or maybe the run time of the movie was cut down at some point during production.  Though that does seem to come from nowhere when it seemed like they were in a no magic world.

Post by: Bongo on July 31, 2013, 06:36:31 PM
I was a bit surprised when I saw the opening credits for Equestria Girls and recollected on the movie when it finished. Meghan McCarthy wrote three of my absolute favorite episodes in the show, in order from my favorite to most favorite: Party of One, Lesson Zero, and finally the Canterlot Wedding 2 parter. I absolutely loved the Canterlot Wedding episodes and still remains as my favorite, but it's interesting, or at least to me. The Canterlot Wedding had an approx. time span of 44 minutes, and Equestria Girls ran for 73. For me, the first 2 acts of Equestria Girls were the best, but the final act with anything after the Spike-Napping from the party became weak, stale, and a bit predictable for me.

I guess Meghan McCarthy is good at writing 2 parter episodes, but not 3 parter ones. That or maybe it just wasn't her A-game when writing the script. Which is really sad, because like I said before, the Canterlot Wedding episodes are still my number 1 favorite because of all the twists, surprises, and turns it could pull off. Some 2-parter episodes of the series I felt were lacking and needed a little more 'meat' to it so to speak (Friendship is Magic of Season 1). Some I felt needed more than 2 parts to fully develop the stores and characters (The Crystal Empire of Season 3). Some I felt needed to be a 2-parter in the first place (Magical Mystery Cure of Season 3). The Canterlot Wedding had perfect pacing and didn't have a rushed or slow feel to it. And the reveal of Queen Chrysalis was unexpected and made me love her every single minute she was onscreen. So my only guess is that Equestria Girls was a bit too long for its own good, as some elements felt as filler and unneeded, and those elements would have been cut for time in a 2 parter episode. That or make Equestria Girls longer to fully flesh out the development and story instead of padding it out with filler.

PS: Why is it always 3 days? 3 days until the big climax of any book, movie, TV show, or video game. 3! Why is it always 3!? Why must 3 always be the number of the counting, and shall be no less or no more than 3?

The story was to rushed and they must have ran out of ideas for the end so they slapped the demon and the whole Sunset Shimmer wanting friends witch is false and so not true. She wanted to destroy the world and ponyville not make friends. The ending was horrible but the couple Derpy cameos made it better. Glad Derpy got some brief screen time.

Did you like the songs Bongo?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Bongo on August 02, 2013, 07:39:55 AM
My opinions on the songs? I'll give a quick breakdown.

Opening Remixed Theme Song - Visuals were pretty, I can give it that. The song however, just didn't catch my attention. It sounded much like every other Brony remix I've heard. Maybe that was the point and was a shoutout to all the Brony Remixes out there, but it just sounds like any other average Brony Remix song to me. What I really want to see used is either a huge orchestrated version, or even at least the Extended version shown on one of the DVD's.

This Strange World - The music didn't really catch my eye. I don't mind the pop-style of music in MLP, but that genre doesn't draw me in all that much. In fact, the songs that I really love tend to take on different genres you never really expected to see and hear in an MLP show. For example, two of my all time favorite songs from MLP, "The Flim Flam Brothers" and "This Day Aria" use genres that are so different and strange from the typical pop songs you would think to expect in a show geared towards little girls. How was it that the show was able to pull that off, but not the movie even though both are targeted towards the little girl demographic? Also some lines in the song seemed a bit forced to me, which was also a huge problem for me when I listen to "The Ballad of the Crystal Empire".

Equestria Girls - IT WILL FOREVER REMAIN THE SEASON 1 KATY PERRY PARODY...AS IT SHOULD OF ALYWAYS BEEN AND STAYED THAT WAY!!! In all honesty, I like the song, but only for a few specific parts.
- The opening part where the Mane 6 are just using their hand, feet, and cafateria stuff lying around to get a beat going. Reminds me a lot of the theatrical show 'Stomp'. In 'Stomp' the entire show is just a bunch of actors banging around junk like wooden brooms, metal trash lids, railroad spikes, to make beats, rhythms, and eventually songs. In one of my Drama classes in High School, we did a project centered around such a thing where a group was assigned a set of everyday household materials and had to make a beat out of them to span about a minute. This went on for about a week or so and then we had to preform it. I have fond memories of that lesson, so I really took the opening to heart.
- At around the 1:27 mark of the song, where each member of the gang has a solo to sing is nice. I really did like the part where the line "Generous, honesty - laughter, kindness, loyalty" is sung. Something about how Rarity and Applejack's lines sort of melted together was nice.
- The selling point of the song has to be the part after Twilight enters the scene, and the music in the background becomes nothing more than clapping and the Mane 6 are just singing acapella. The music then slowly starts to fade in and then the finale just comes in blasting away. I don't know why, but the way everything nearly goes silent while keeping the beat and then suddenly blasts into the loud and boisterous finale makes it seem all the more awesome.
The rest of the song falls into the same categories as 'The Strange World'. Unlike the previous song, however, the song has a few selling points that I would love to see again and again. The beat is very catchy and the lyrics don't sound too forced like 'The Strange World'.
...and I won't forget to mention how cool the choreography was...
(http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/213/b/b/equestria_girls___get_up__get_down_by_fangz17-d6g5a7j.gif)

Time to Come Together - Apply my same views of 'This Strange World' onto this, except I liked this song better than the former. The lyrics felt natural and the visuals were better to look at. I could look at Fluttershy being hit by a broom for a long time. Not because I hate her or anything, but the individual characteristics each and every one of them had just fit them so well.
This is Our Big Night - Apple the same said for 'Time to Come Together'. The reprise has a lot of nice visuals in it to look at.

A Friend for Life - The credit song. Reminds me a lot of how in the late 80's, 90's, and early 00's, the end credits of an animated movie most of the time had a 'Hit song' usually sung in a popular style of the time (Usually a pop ballad). One that came to mind easily was 'Where the Dream Takes You' from the end credits of Disney's 'Atlantis: The Lost Empire'. Even the original Land Before Time did this with 'If We Hold On'! :lol . Unlike LBT, Equestria Girls didn't have interesting credits to see. That's a thing with a lot of modern animated films today; their credit scenes have something to look at, and they keep you in your seat because you want to see them all. The only thing EQD had was a dancing Derpy at the end and that was it. Something like a photo album-esque type of slideshow or pictures of what happened after the movie with the EQG version of the Mane 5 +1. But no, we just get a normal pop song, black background and white scrolling visuals.

TL;DR - Okay but expected something different; Low okay; Pretty good due to a few key scenes; Okay but pretty to look at; Same at the last; Okay but expected a little more.

The music of Equestria Girls is okay for me. Aside from one song I won't get out of my head, the rest is just okay. It all seemed pretty general to me with everything muddled together. Aside from that one song, there were very little distinctions between the songs. I mean, look at the music of MLP! 'You Got to Share, You Got to Care', 'The Flim Flam Brothers', 'This Day Aria', 'Babs Seed', 'Raise This Barn', etc. All were written by the same guy yet all sound distinctly different from each other, and the distinction made them more memorable for me. Here, they just seemed like clones of each other. Very similar...

And I know that I have raged on about the pop music, but something about these pop songs didn't drag me in. In the show, 'Becoming Popular', 'Babs Seed', 'Love is in Bloom', and many more would technically count as pop songs in my book, but they just seemed to handle the genre better than what I heard. Of course that's just my opinion.

Those are my views on the music of Equestria Girls. Background music, however, still remains top notch, and I enjoyed listening to the little flourishes here and there.











PS: They seem to REALLY hate Fluttershy in this...

Good luck with that.  The first may be small.  Hope it works out.   It could be at least a meet up.  Small cons do have a plus over large ones.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Petrie85 on August 05, 2013, 07:59:38 PM
Yes they do. I hate really large conventions but I go to them sometimes. Small conventions I've herd people have actually had a good length conversation with a voice actor. That is why I love small conventions. That and it's not that packed and less people. And thanks I also hope ma gets there pony con here as well. But I herd people are trying very hard to get one going.

Post by: Tails_155 on August 06, 2013, 08:07:22 PM
I like any convention. I'm not so concerned with spending a long time with the VAs (though I'd really like to meet Madeleine, <3 Scoots.) I think they, as regular folks, should get to enjoy their time, too. Heck, Sam Vincent at the one I went to, went around and signed all the works based on his character for the artists to sell. He got to have a good time, and he helped others out, too. I spent most of my time throwing my money at artists at the cons, and that can happen with any size con. I'd love to go to more, but I live where it's not so frequent.

One Idea I had was maybe a flashback.  Twilight may see things from Celestia's viewpoint, or may read about it or have Celestia tell her.  Based on what Nightmare moon said in the clip I saw that someone posted here before.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT ALL THE WAY BACK AT THE START OF SEASON TWO! YUSH! (You know, I think I'm the only one who'll be saying that. If Trixie can have a redemption episode, why not Gilda?

But, I did learn one lesson from that episode.

GRIFFONS ARE JERKS.

Also, Nightmare Moon. That is all.

Yes so far we had two bully episodes so far. And to be fair they where not that bad. And I guess maybe she could have some redemption. But I highly doubt she has changed in the three years. I bet she is still the same jerk as she was before.

If there's a lesson of bullying to be made, take the message from Friendship is Witchcraft: Episode 9 - "Seed No Evil" at around the 11:10 mark. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n442GmB_G0)

Quote
All my life I've been picked on by bullies, and used to believe that bullies were abusive because they were abused themselves. But now I realized that some ponies are just cruel and deserve to be punished. I don't want to just accept the bad life I've been handed. From now on if I want something, I'm going to take it. I don't want to go to clown school, or end us as some lonely middle age elementary school teacher, unfulfilled and wondering how I let my life get this way. I'm not some Christmas Special Martyr here to make you feel better about yourselves. So my project is symbolic of all my complex feelings...

Post by: Tails_155 on August 09, 2013, 10:16:06 AM
The only redemption I could give her is if her story were more complex that "a jerk."

Babs had a reason for her actions, and while her making the CMCs legit cry (especially Sweetie Belle) was frustrating to watch, I still was able to forgive her for her depth and willingness to change.

Gilda, to date, has had no complexity, and wasn't interesting to me, plus, she was a terrible individual.

YOU CANNOT REMORSELESSLY MAKE FLUTTERSHY CRY AND RECEIVE REDEMPTION.

The message in Babs seed was well thought out. And the music was great. The song was perfect and help fit the mood of being bullied. And it sucks to be bullied but you just gotta ignore it and walk away from the bully. Not interact with it.

False. Ignoring can sometimes perpetuate bullying. Addressing an authority: parents, teachers, bosses, etc. is a very good step to take.

As for being picked on or bullied you have to find what works best for you.  Many humans are jerks, or worst, and nothing will ever change that.

Speaking of Season 4, the intro sequence is going to have to change now that Twilight is an alicorn, as will the photograph they send to Celestia at the end of it (assuming the creators keep that part at this point). I wonder what other changes other than Twilight having wings will be made to it.

Look at the bottom right.

409 109 001

Season 4 Episode 9 Scene 109 Frame 001

Notice how the frame count goes up with each picture and resets when the next scene plays out. It is most definitely a song from MLP because it was shown at the MLP panel at Comic Con 2013.

And it was not in a jerkish manner, either.  Text alone cannot tell if something is a joke or serious, and text alone cannot tell if someone is being jerkish or not.

Let's just say I have the uncanny instinct to point out mistakes people make and feel like correcting them.  If I come off as a jerk for doing so, I apologize for that.

Sorry!

With Lauren Faust as my protector.
Make them bow to my will.
To the sky!
See Sparklius rise.

It's sad really that people got offended by Derpy. She didn't and or wasn't making fun if the disabled. She was there to say it's okay to make mistakes. Tons of fans look up to Derpy as a inspirational Character. I have a Lazy eye and I wasn't offended at all. She is our mascot and she is a character to look up to. She was also a fan made character none of the writers made her a fan did and they name her Derpy. Hope we get to see her more in season 4. I'd love that and thousands of bronies would as well.

Wasn't that only one time Jerry Springer made fun of Bronies?

But really, how can people get so worked up over this guy? He's a SHOCK DJ! He's been trolling before it was cool. I could understand being mad at him if he went to Bronycon and beat up some Bronies but to get mad because he laughs at a small fraction of the fandumb? Grow a spine people. Learn to laugh at yourselves.

Also, I'm surprised(not really) to read that there are Bronies drawing pictures/making flash videos of their pony characters beating Stern up. Wow guys. You want to beat up a man who's legally a senior citizen because he said some not-so-nice things about you? Dat love and tolerance.

Let's move on to something else, shall we? :)

I recently completed my collection of Pony Plush Toys for the Mane 6.  However, I also got another one.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Nct7hTR8L.jpg)

Now I understand she's not the greatest looking plush, but I get what I can afford.  I am now reselling this on Amazon.  I was originally going to put it up for auction on eBay, but there seems to be a bug of some sort preventing me from doing so.

Anyways, for those interested, here is a direct link of the one I am selling.

Remember, I only have one!  It's first come, first served!

Good luck getting it! :)

I know Animeboye that is so wrong that the bronies want to do that. This community has gone down hill recently. There is no love and tolerance anymore in the fandom bronies don't respect each other for liking other stuff From the fandom at all. If you love other Children's Animation shows most I'd them will ignore you. A lot of Bronies hate Furries for no reason what so ever. So this community has gone down the drain now. And it's sad really. I don't like getting into fan wars and fights. I ignore them all together. There is no room for wars and fights. We should get along and so fourth. But I doubt it will ever happen.

Quoted for truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

To any Bronies who might be lurking on this topic who take the show so seriously, read what I quoted. Read it over and over until it's engraved into your minds.

MLP is just a show. A good show but a show nonetheless. There is no need to take it so seriously. Look, I could understand if Stern attacked a Brony or something but these reactions are disgusting. Stern may not be the greatest human being on the planet but he's still a human regardless. He has the right to say what he wants, even if what he says offends people.

Just lighten up. Step back, laugh at yourself for a moment, then move on with your day. There's more to life than just ponies.

Agree with everything you said Petrie. This is currently one of my favorite shows but it's not my most favorite per se.  If I were to go by what my favorite current cartoons are, MLP would be number 2, right under Adventure Time. I wasn't too keen on Adventure Time at first due to the artwork but after watching all of seasons one and two, I have to say that I really enjoy it, perhaps even more than Friendship is Magic.

@AnimeBoye I also agree that this is my second or third favorite show.

And I do try and follow the lessons since this show has helpede change a lot. And it helped me be a lot better person than I was a few years ago.

That could be a funny episode.  At least some scenes.   I wonder if Spike would want extra sprinkles.  & Imagine the types of parties Pinkie could throw in such a place.  

Applejack could be the level headed one that helps the others to come back from going overboard.  Maybe with Spike's help, depending on how he acts during the episode.

Nice picture Bongo.  Not sure why but it reminds me of the picture I use to see often years back and as a kid of dogs playing poker.  


I could see a scene like that at the end or beginning of the episode.  If at the end the morale could be mentioned casually maybe.

So, just do a cleaned up version of it?

Gambling and the nightclubs may be acceptable in a kid's show but the strip shows, "escort" services, drinking, etc. will have to do.

Anyways, do you think there will be a "fail" episode? Meaning an episode that just got screwed because of bad writing or bad execution?

Personally, I'm hoping not, but I do keep in mind that even the best artist produces crap sometimes.

While there may be a fail episode there may be one that is maybe rushed or they don't fully execute a certain thing or things right.  There is bound to be episodes certain people don't like that others do like.   As well as weaker episodes, that are not as good as others in the majority opinion.  And perhaps what some would call filler episodes.

It's like any episode of the main show that you may not like.  You need never watch it again, that episode did happen and at least some of the folks involved learned something likely, but it still means you don't have to watch it, you can skip over it.  In Euistria Girls you can go from the last episode of season 3 right to the first episode of season 4, skipping over it as you can skip over any episode of the show you don't like.  I'm sure the movie has many fans, and some folks who don't like it.

I do wonder if they'll change the intro to season 4 and on since Twilight is now and alicorn.  I assume they will and look forward to finding out if they do and if so how much do they change it, and if the music is changed or not.

If Equestria Girls is canon

Does that make this official live action music video of the song of the same name from the movie (http://family-room.ew.com/2013/08/30/equestria-girls-music-video/) canon as well? (Jk about that second part, although the first remains utterly true)

Maybe Twilight used the magic of the element of magic for the group to travel to a live action universe so they could do the song one last time before she goes back home.  This was all done offscreen between scenes of the movie.   :lol

Amen to that!  I really like MLP.  I really do.  But my dislike for Hasbro intensifies with each passing moment.  First off making a token wedding for a new playset with Shining Armor (Twilight's "BBBFF" that we'd never seen or even HEARD about before), then making Twilight a princess to sell Princess Twilight toys, and now Equestria Girls, the WORST excuse for a good movie I've ever seen.  A total ripoff and obvious low blow by Hasbro to sell more worthless toys.  Hasbro, take it from me.  If you want to sell your MLP toys, make them look at least halfway REALISTIC.....you know....like the characters that are actually IN THE SHOW!  DUHHHHH!  McDonalds did a better job than you for crying out loud!  The higher ups at Hasbro are complete and total morons and they'll destroy this show if given the chance.  Thankfully the staff that works on MLP is the most professional and competent I've ever seen.  They've managed to "cover up" all of Hasbro's mistakes and blunders.  But how long can they keep this up?  I mean, next we're going to have all of the mane 6 as princesses having tea parties and getting married to the stallions of their dreams.  YUK.  No thanks.  That's not why I got into this show.

I'm not sure if they'd go that far.  I really hope not.  I can see the show lasting a long time if they don't mess anything up.  As for Equestria Girls I plan on ignoring it.  The same as some MLP episodes I don't like.  So I'll go from the least episode of season 3, right to the first of episode 4, in future viewings of the show.  Though I am annoyed by some stuff like Shining Armor appearing from nowhere, no mention of Twilight even having a brother before.

Honestly, I fail to see why people make such a big deal about changes to what they think should/should not be canon.  If you don't like what the writers of a show are doing, that's okay, but it's not really worth complaining about.  You didn't write the show, so it's not exactly like you can do anything about it.  

That said, I didn't see any problem with either Equestria Girls or the introduction of Shining Armor.  To the first one, it's not exactly like there's a hard and fast timeframe set up yet.  Creating a mid-off-season episode seems like a fantastic idea, actually.  If I were to ever actually have a TV show that I ran, I would think of doing things like that more often.  Keeps fan interest up.  And as to Shining Armor, it's not exactly like anypony ever asked Twilight about her family or anything.  And while she was in Ponyville, she was busily focused on her current task of Friendship Reports.  She probably filed away her dear BBBFF in one of those parts of her mind that she didn't dwell much on.  Plus, it's not like we had a camera on her 24/7.  She probably thought about home a lot, we just never saw it onscreen.  

Now, the toys...yeah, Hasbro needs to get their act together on that one.  Pinklestia, etc...not good.

So please, from now on, I would highly suggest that all animated images be linked to rather than posted directly.

That said, I didn't see any problem with either Equestria Girls or the introduction of Shining Armor.  To the first one, it's not exactly like there's a hard and fast timeframe set up yet.  Creating a mid-off-season episode seems like a fantastic idea, actually.  If I were to ever actually have a TV show that I ran, I would think of doing things like that more often.  Keeps fan interest up.  And as to Shining Armor, it's not exactly like anypony ever asked Twilight about her family or anything.  And while she was in Ponyville, she was busily focused on her current task of Friendship Reports.  She probably filed away her dear BBBFF in one of those parts of her mind that she didn't dwell much on.  Plus, it's not like we had a camera on her 24/7.  She probably thought about home a lot, we just never saw it onscreen.  

Now, the toys...yeah, Hasbro needs to get their act together on that one.  Pinklestia, etc...not good.
Definitely.

Just imagine that we're only seeing a little part of their life. And whatever's offscreen is yours to fill in.

As for the toys, try working a little harder.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous... It's taken more than 8 MINUTES for this page to load. And my laptop is relatively fast, even very big images take less than 10 seconds to load. So please, from now on, I would highly suggest that all animated images be linked to rather than posted directly. I know, you want to show us something funny, but it's impossible for me to find any humor in something that forces me to wait for minutes on end before I can finally even see it.
I'm sorry but your internet is just terrible.  I'd look into that if I were you.  Loading this page takes me longer than normal, but still takes less than 15 seconds.  And before you go saying it's because I pay for outrageous speeds, I don't.  Anything better than 2Mbps up and 2Mbps down will load this page in about 15 seconds.  That's the rate at which GOF's servers can serve the information so it really doesn't matter if your internet is faster than that.  But if it took 8 minutes then you must be getting like dialup speeds.  And 10 seconds to load a "big" image (big is a relative term on a little laptop screen with a tiny resolution) is far too long.  I load most images in about 1/4 of a second.  "big images" (3000x3000 or larger that are about 4MB) takes me about 6 seconds.  Seeing as you're on a laptop, a "big" image could be 1000x1000 and only about 1/2MB.  1/2MB is 512KB.  Dialup is 56KB/second so that would make sense.  You need to have your internet speed checked out.  It's not normal unless you're paying for the cheapest DSL out there (which is usually UP TO 1Mbps (but is usually anywhere between 60Kbps and 200Kbps)) or you have actual dialup (which I highly doubt on a newer laptop).  The problem is with your setup.  No one else is having issues.

The issue is certainly not with the internet connection. In fact, I bet that page (specifically, that animated image I was complaining about) would load up just fine on my desktop. (Besides, it seems 8 minutes is actually on the extreme end, because the last two times, it took only 5 minutes.) Based on what little I could actually understand from your post, I'm pretty sure the issue is with my laptop. It's now over three years old, and I think it's beginning to show its age. I can't even play any videos for more than an hour without the thing just shutting itself off. (It wasn't always like this, its only in the last few months that I've had this problem.) Since I already have a desktop that works perfectly fine, I just use that for gaming and long-duration videos. Everything else still seems fine to me, so I see no reason to let go of my laptop anytime soon.

Anyway, sorry for getting off-topic. Just had to vent a little frustration I've had with a few of the recent images in this topic.

Here's my current stance on MLP:FiM.

Since November last year, I've been reading fanfics on fimfiction.net. Necessity made me become a member in February (the day after the season 3 finale) so I could use the "read later" feature and avoid having so many tabs open at all times. The number of fanfics on my read later list is now at over 500 (blame Civ V for not giving me enough time). In July, I started checking Equestria Daily on a regular basis. Yet, despite all of this, I still do not yet consider myself a true brony for one simple reason: I have not yet watched a single episode of this show.

Tomorrow, that is finally going to change.

Starting yesterday, Equestria Daily is doing a countdown of all 65 episodes in order of oldest to newest. Each page includes a YouTube video of it's particular episode. This opportunity means that not only I now don't have to search YouTube for each episode, but it will allow me to watch this series in order from first to latest, exactly the way I wanted to.

Tomorrow, (after I watch Bionicle: Mask of Light) I will watch the first two episodes: Friendship is Magic, parts 1 & 2. After everything I had already read on the MLP wiki months ago, the only things I'm still missing out on is the music and what their voices sound like. After that, I will keep up with Equstria Daily and watch one episode per day on their countdown. By this time tomorrow, I will finally be able to truly call myself a brony.

At 4:30 this afternoon, I finally started watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I can definitely say that actually watching the show is quite different than just reading about it.

I knew the only parts I had still been missing out on was the audio (music and voices) and, as expected, there were surprises. After many many months of thinking about what the cast's voices are like, to finally hear what they are really like is... a little weird, I have to admit. Nothing bad at all, just... weird. :neutral  I think I'll watch these two episodes again tomorrow, along with the third episode, mostly to help establish within my mind what their voices are actually like, rather than what I once thought. On the plus side, at least most of them aren't as squeaky-high as I would have expected from a girl's show. :yes  The music was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting it to sound so... modern. (Among other things, I didn't think there would be an electric guitar in the orchestra, except maybe for some Rainbow Dash scenes. :lol: )

There's no need for me to talk about each episode. I've already known for months what happens in each and every one of them. I'm just watching the show to finally fill in the last remaining gaps I've missed out on before I can actually call myself a Brony.

One of the upcoming Season 4 episodes is getting a lot of hype lately, and I mean GOOD hype.  In an upcoming episode, Scootaloo will be teased by Diamond Tiara for her inability to fly.  There's been a lot of speculation as to what will happen during the episode.

For instance, here's one comic based on the way a fan thinks said episode will end.

(http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/266/9/1/when_a_pegasus_blooms_by_thunderhawk03-d6nlbgu.png)

To be honest, regardless of the outcome, I'm just looking forward to what kind of punishment Diamond Tiara will get next. :D

We shall see, though. :)

As of today, I have now watched the first 11 episodes (which means the one I watched today was Winter Wrap-Up). I'll repeat myself again, after months of imagining the audio of this show, to finally hear the real deal is a little weird at first, but I soon get used to it. It helps that I've made a habit of watching each episode three times. (I start by watching the next one first, then the previous one for what is by then the third time, then back to the next one for a second time.)

Of course, it's not all consistent; some voices are easier for me to memorize than others. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were close to what I had imagined, so I was quick to adjust. I was a bit off with Applejack and Rarity, but their distinctive accents are helpful enough that I can now memorize them too. I'm still working on getting Twilight Sparkle right, but I think I'm getting close by now. Rainbow Dash has been the hardest of all for me, mostly because, before actually seeing the show, I used to imagine her voice might have been like Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls; I need to work on breaking that initial view if I'm going to memorize her actual voice. Finally, although Trixie's voice is quite different from what I had imagined, I know I've heard it somewhere before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

And let's not forget the music. It's quite strange trying to imagine what a song is like when you've got nothing but the lyrics to go by. A good case in point is Winter Wrap-Up. The tune is quite different from what I had imagined, but I'm okay with that. In fact, that tune is going through my head as I type this, despite the fact that it's been seven hours since watching the episode, with four hours of playing Civ V within that time. Now there's a testament to this particular song's catchy-ness I've heard people talk about.

Tomorrow's episode I'll be watching is Call of the Cutie, the one that introduced us to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I'll soon find out how far off I was with their voices.

I wonder if they found out.  I doubt Discord would tell anyone how he got free, in case he is turned to stone again he'd want a secret way outl.  

Worst I'd say is Snip & Snails.  I just say worst since they admitted to a lot of folks what they did  so a good percent of Ponyville heard their confession.   They got off to lightly for what they did.  Don't want to say in case of spoilers.

& Silver spoon, or whatever her name is, while editor of a paper.  She got off very easy also for what she did in my opinion.  Maybe cause she's rich she got of easy.  Maybe Snip & Snail's parents are rich or very high up in the ponyville government and like in real life they get off very easy for what they do.

As of today, I have now seen all of season 1, plus the two-part season 2 premier, featuring Discord. My assumption of what his voice sounded like was way off. (Despite having seen many episodes of Star Trek: the Next Generation, I never saw any appearances of this Q guy, so the popular comparison apparently never worked for me.) Fortunately, his voice is similar enough to something else I've heard before (Metus from the Bionicle movie The Legend Reborn) that I can easily adjust my imagination. After 28 episodes, the actual voices of the main 6 and the CMC are now familiar to me, and it will only improve as I now move on to season 2 episodes.

I already have many ideas for MLP:FiM fanfiction, but I'll wait until I'm finally up to date with watching the actual show before starting anything.

You have till my birthday to get caught up.  November 23, last I heard is the premier date of season 4.  

I see why they got him to play Discord, he fits the character well.  I heard some folks who work on the show, forgot who, who said they asked him, not thinking he'd accept to do voice work on a cartoon show.

Hoo boy, I am already picturing the flame wars of that forthcoming night. Because you know both the Bronies and the Whovians are going to be online that night. ALL of the Bronies and the Whovians.

Still proceeding with watching each episode of the series, one per day, three times each. As of today, I have just finished season 2. I can now confirm for myself that Shining Armor's voice really does sound like Jaller from the first Bionicle movie (not exactly, but very close). All I have left to see is season 3 and the Equestria Girls movie. By the time I get there, season 4 should've just started, so that will leave me with two new episodes to watch right afterward. (Edit: assuming they don't get taken down from YouTube before I get a chance to watch them)

They have not so far, some maybe bit I see some episodes up now and then, and the Brony show is able to stream an episode every Monday so far, when they have an official show.  

I'm looking forward to the new season and the fact it'll have 26 episodes again.

Nice that folks have a list to pick from, but looks like The Brony Show is not listed.  I remember Monday night that Circuit Mane did say they were going to stream he'd do the regular Saturday morning cartoons thing they do.

As of this moment, I have now seen every single episode that has aired to date. That will obviously change tomorrow, but hopefully for only a few hours.

I still haven't seen that Equestria Girls movie, so hopefully I'll be able to find it on YouTube and see it. Hopefully, by the time I'm finished that, someone will have uploaded the season 4 premier episodes. I'll admit, it's going to feel rather strange to finally be able to watch an episode (let alone, two of them back-to-back) before reading any comments on them. I'll be able to form my own unbiased opinion on what I see, not that I ever make any strong opinions, anyway.

Yeah, looks like I'm going to be rather busy tomorrow. Good thing I've been preparing for this for a while.

Wait, according to the comments under the first of those articles DaddyTops linked, the bronies have somehow gotten it into their heads that Twilight's mom wrote the Daring Do books. What. How? ...When did this particular piece of fanon happen?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on November 22, 2013, 11:50:09 PM
I looked and there are several folks that have the My Little Pony Equestria Girls movie.

I read that about Twilight's mother, no idea where it started.  Maybe it's said that in a comic issue.  I know on another forum one person speculated that just because Twilight has all the books of the series.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 23, 2013, 09:35:14 AM
^^ :slap Come on!  Just because she has EVERY book, does NOT mean her mom is the author!  Twilight's more likely just a big fan of the Daring Doo Series of books.

I'm sure our answer will come in a future episode this season. (In fact, there is a future episode synopsis that says Rainbow Dash and Twilight will meet the author.)

Anyways, one last time, here is the official list for those that will stream the first episode of the new season.

That is silly thinking.  Just cause someone has all the books of a book series it doesn't mean their mother or father is the author.  

Tried all the streams on that list and not any of them worked.  I'm glad the Brony Show works.  

At worst I"ll have to download it from youtube later this afternoon like I have done before.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on November 23, 2013, 01:29:02 PM
Yes, I liked them overall.  I was not surprised at the very quick ending since that seems to be their style, similar to the silver age DC comics.  Having good length beginnings & middle, but a quick resolution endings.  Though the ending seemed better written then the sudden quick endings that at times involved deus ex machina, or however you spell that phrase.

I liked that there seems to be a quest this season.  Though I'd have had 7 instead of 6, one of them being for Spike.  Not going into any more detail to avoid spoilers.  

I liked the flashbacks we got.  We knew most of the events, but we got to see them in detail this time.

I liked that they added some stuff to the opening, like the surprise you see if you look at
the window of Fluttershy's house.

Post by: The Chronicler on November 23, 2013, 09:45:19 PM
The video I watched of the new episodes had the intro cut out, so I didn't get to see what changes were made. Other than that, I am now completely caught up with the entire series. Though I will admit it's going to be awkward to avoid giving spoilers this time rather than finding them.

Quite a great way to start the season. A few funny moments are always good, especially with Discord around. :lol  But what I really like is how the ending apparently signals the potential start of a quest that, to be honest, kinda reminds me of the Bionicle storyline. I am so glad I've decided to join in this fandom when I did. :)

Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 23, 2013, 10:14:22 PM
Just got done watching the latest episode.  This is one of those episodes where I feel that if you hate it, you are either nitpicking or you are just a hater of the series in general and nothing they do will make you like it.

Anyways, it was a good episode, to be honest.  I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I really enjoyed the humor that Discord brought.  Plus, they did bring up a strong point of life itself, which a lot of "fans" were missing when Twilight became a princess.  This is indeed a big change for our heroines, but they accept that change and the changes in life that will come, but it will not change their friendship.  Lots of "fans" thought this big responsibility would change everything, but it really hasn't changed much, if at all.  They are still friends and they shall remain that, regardless of what comes.

I did enjoy the flashbacks.  It definitely cleared up quite a bit of the past and how it all happened.  I don't mind that it "destroyed" plenty of fan speculation, as that's what a series like this usually does.  I've seen many destroyed by now, so I'm not surprised it has done so again.  So "fan" flaming on those?  Yeah, pretty much expect it from someone.

Really, it's quite the good episode.  I feel it was a good start, and I can't wait to see what else they bring for us.

Well, that's all from me.  See ya later! :wave

True.  I don't mind that she is a princess now.  I don't see the big deal.  

I was thinking, after watching the opening again to season 4, if the animators may do with Discord like they did with Derpy in season 2 I think it was, have him pop up somewhere in the episode and make it a sort of game, spot where Discord is in this episode.  I miss that.

Post by: landbeforetimelover on November 25, 2013, 04:23:55 PM
These new episodes were quite.....different.  I still don't like Alicorn Twilight, but despite how much Hasbro has totally screwed up the characters to make a quick buck, the writers were able to roll with it pretty well.  They've screwed the show twice.  First with Shining Armor appearing out of nowhere, and now with Alicorn Twilight.  But thankfully the writing staff is top-notch and they're able to handle it well.  

This was the first time there wasn't an evil villain.  But learning more of Equestria's history was well worth it.  I hope they continue to expand the world like they've done so far.

But the Elements are now gone?  What do they do now?  Now all the mane 6 are just regular ponies.  It's sad as the Elements are what really made them special.  They were connected to royalty and were hero's in a way.  I suppose maybe they can "temporarily" take them from the tree again when they're needed.  Maybe that's where the writers are going with this.  I don't know.

Overall it was a really good episode.  But it leaves me feeling conflicted.  In a way the stories have never been better.  But I don't know if I like the direction the show is going.  I miss the innocence of season 1.  It was a simpler show with few to no shoutouts to the Bronies, but I really liked it.  I'd say it's more of an adult show now, but it's lost its innocence and it's charm.....what made me fell in love with the show in the first place.  It really was a show for little girls, but the characters were so well done and the stories weren't cheesy so it made it a pretty good show for adults too.  Now it's like they're trying to write the show for Bronies while Hasbro keeps wanting to throw in princesses and weddings and such because they think they'll be able to sell more toys that way.  It's kinda sickening.  The show isn't going down the toilet or anything, but it has changed.  It's no longer the show I fell in love with.

Not that I dislike it now or anything.  I think it's a much better show now.  But I feel like the original show was just murdered and has morphed into this thing.  It's a conflicting feeling.

No, they're special because of who they are, not because of some magical macguffin they could use. I would have to say I disagree with you 110% in every regard to the show's progression. I do not believe that they screwed the show by including Shining Armor or turning Twilight into an alicorn whatsoever. There is nothing sickening going on, aside from a few hiccups along the way like the Derpy fiasco.

I know they're still special and it's not like I like Applejack any less because she doesn't wield a little device anymore.  But Applejack is the Element of Honesty.  It's part of her character that they've built up all these years.  And now that's just gone?  I know she can still be honest, but it's just not the same.  That essential aspect of her character and the show is now gone.  Like I said, I'm fine if they can go get the Element's when they need them and use them temporarily, but the ponies are no longer Elements.  That made them stand out from the regular run of the mill ponies.  It's not like they got the Elements later down the road or something.  They got them the very first episode!  And they all shared a special connection because of the Elements.  I'm sure they'll still be friends, and the Elements don't define their friendship.  But they're no longer connected by that.  They're just "friends."  Sorry but that kinda takes an essential aspect of the show away.  And it was for no reason that we can see (yet).

For those still thinking making Twilight Sparkle a princess was a bad idea, let me show you a comic that nicely explains why it was a good idea, especially for the situation that happened in the first two episodes of the new season.

Very funny comic.  We've not seen him since the party at the end of season 1.  He may live somewhere else then Canterlot.  Princess Celestia may have him overlooking some area away from Canterlot, just in case something like this can't happen.

I think you have it backwards.
Applejack wasn't honest because she was the Element of Honesty. She was chosen to become the Element of Honesty because it was a deeply rooted part of her character, and the same goes for the others. They're not "just friends" now and that special something isn't gone. That special something that set them apart from other ponies was always a part of them and that's why they were able to become to the Elements, not the other way around. And the grandness of their friendship was ALL them. Neither the elements of their friendship nor has any essential part of the show been removed.

Quote
And they all shared a special connection because of the Elements. I'm sure they'll still be friends, and the Elements don't define their friendship. But they're no longer connected by that. They're just "friends." Sorry but that kinda takes an essential aspect of the show away. And it was for no reason that we can see (yet).
No, they were connected before they found the Elements and became their wearers. The show has done much to reinforce that through the years. They formed this bond when they, together, stepped up to right the wrong that Nightmare Moon was doing. Return of Harmony showed us that without the strong bonds that keep these six share, the Elements are completely and utterly powerless and it is NOT the Elements that make their friendship special. Their special friendship is what empowers the Elements, not the other way around. If anything, the Elements are reliant on the integrity of their bearers.
If you feel that in order for these six poneis and their friendship to be special and set apart from others that they need a set of magical gems, then I think you've been at least partially missing the point.
And there was a reason for it to happen. Heroes have to make sacrifices for the greater good sometimes, and sometimes that means giving up what supposedly made you special to begin with.

A lot of fans want one.  If any of the various toy makers out there are smart, they'll make it real.

As for my opinion on it, it is nice looking, though I'm not sure if I want one of Twilight.  Give me one with Rainbow Dash, and I might make an exception. :)

Yeah, despite the fact that, for the first time, I watched an episode just hours after it first aired, I did not see that meme coming. I mean, let's be honest, it was intended to be nothing more than one of Discord's one-off gags, like singing Winter Wrap-Up in the shower, or being dressed as a maid, or even (my personal favorite) that sheet of paper with an animated picture of Twilight crying. :lol:

Anyway, I found out yesterday that both episodes could now be seen on the Hub's website, so I was able to take the opportunity to watch them again this afternoon, only this time I could see them in their entirety (including the intro), rather than that cut YouTube video. It seems I now have a routine I'll be following each week for every new episode. :)

Okay, here's my review on the newest episode.

To be honest, this episode feels like it's about a month late, especially with the creepy atmosphere it was giving off throughout the episode. (Seriously, scary creepy castle that spooks nearly every character easily screams Halloween Episode.) Other than that, it was enjoyable.  There's really nothing bad about this, just that they could've done more.  It was entertaining to see Applejack and Rainbow Dash being scared out of their wits throughout the episode. (Twilight wins Bravest Pony! :P: )

In the end, it just feels like an episode that's only average.  It's not bad, but it just feels like they could've done more with it.

That's at least my feeling on it.

That's all for now.

See ya later! :wave
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on December 01, 2013, 12:48:10 AM
I ignored the leak and waited until this afternoon to find a high-quality video of it on YouTube. (The Hub's website doesn't post the new episodes until Monday, so my initial options each week will be rather limited.)

What I liked most is not the content, but rather it's relation to previous and later episodes. We immediately see Twilight trying to figure out the secrets of that mystery box, right after the previous episode. And at the end, the Mane 6 agree to start a group diary, like Celestia and Luna did over a thousand years earlier. So it looks like there will no longer be any friendship reports, but instead entries to this group diary.

As I expected, the third episode would finish setting the stage for the rest of the season, and it is next week's episode that will return to the common slice-of-life episodes.

I did see it streaming this morning.  Glad I downloaded the leaked episode since I've not been able to find anything about 360, which is the resolution of the leaked episode also.  Though it was leaked and I downloaded it I didn't watch it till the streaming this morning.  

Overall I liked it, though  it does feel like a filler episode.  Which is ok.  I like that it had a tie to the previous season premiere, with what Twilight was doing.  I do wonder if the old castle will be fixed up at some point and become Twilight's castle.  Pretty humorous episode, and fun to watch.

I heard one commenter comparing it to Scooby Doo and it was.  Even with the Velma bit with Twilight carrying everyone like Velma has done in a few episodes, I always love seeing that, though it's not done to often as I recall.

I think you guys are being just a bit too picky about this episode. I watched it, and yeah, sure, it has nothing to do with the overarching plot, but when have most of the episodes ever been related to that?

I loved this episode! It was an awesome callback to Scooby Doo and general mystery shows of its sort! I was laughing from start to finish.

I wasn't being picky. I just didn't have enough time last night to say more about what I liked.

There were certainly some funny moments. Even though I knew almost from the start that Pinkie Pie was the "Pony of Shadows", it actually didn't have any negative effects on how I saw this episode because I knew there would be lots of humor at the reveal, and boy was I right.

My favorite moment was when Pinkie said, "Did you know I could play a pipe organ? Because I certainly didn't!" *plays the sports 'Charge!' theme*  :lol:  That was so out of left field (no pun intended).

I actually really liked this last episode, especially when AJ and RD were having their little competition, it reminded me a lot of that "Iron Pony" episode in season 1? (You must, know what I'm talking about. The name escapes me now, but it's that one episode where AJ and RD have a race and Twilight SParkle ended up coming in fifth place.)

Anyway, I think I may have even liked it better than the premiere in fact. I mean the premiere was good, but, it seems that they may have been trying to fit in too much in too little time. It was light years above the season 3 preimiere though, I'll give it that.

What, I can't wait for is I think the Daring Do episode. Now, On Wiki I read something about a episode called "Daring Don't" The synopsis is the Mane six have to help this writer come up with ideas on how to finish her book. It sounds like this could be a another Daring Do episode.

Post by: Kor on December 02, 2013, 12:21:33 PM
It could be, and if the author is not Twilight's mother some on the fandom will be upset likely since there are some in fandom that have made it fancanon that the author of the Daring Doo books is Twilight's mother.  No idea why.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 02, 2013, 04:28:43 PM
It's the brony fandom. Not only do they latch onto ridiculous fan created ideas, but boy, if you challenge those ideas, they rise up as one and slay you. That's why I'm so giddy each and every time the show spits in the face of their "fancanon"! It shows who really is in charge of the show, and it ISN'T the bronies!
I wait with baited breath for the episode that shows that Starswirl the Bearded and Discord ARE NOT one and the same because I know it's coming.

Yes, seeing the reaction to that will be interesting.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Campion1 on December 05, 2013, 03:58:21 PM
I went ahead and downloaded the episode to see if the show had improved in quality from the last I had seen of it and was left unimpressed. I would have to assume this is MLP at its worst with no conflict or plot threading to keep interest in the episode, and just barely qualifies as "character shenanigans." They literally just run around a castle for 20 minutes and spook each other with over exaggerated reactions that grow tiring a minute in. From my experience "villains" in MLP are not malicious or threatening in any way and are often revealed to be friendly, and I have no reason to believe otherwise after watching this episode. It's also strange how the rabbit creature immediately forgot about fluttershy when they separated, and the dragon things sarcastic response about something he spent the whole episode fearing. Pinkie pie remains to be my least favorite character, her charisma falls flat and her fourth wall breaking awareness of the situation breaks the little cohesion the "narrative" has. It's funny because shes playing a prank, right u guyz? haha she so funni lulz

Filler can still have substantial value and offer an opportunity to delve into the characters and their universe, so I'll hold any show up to those standards.

Bronies are always the first to recommend I watch the show further before I comment, so I will occasionally... Otherwise I'll stick to Martha Speaks or Wordgirl for charming childrens shows.

Oh, look, the troll is back to try to stir up more trouble. You just can't leave well enough alone, can you? Look, pal, you couldn't be more trasparent with what you're trying to do. You are trying to get our goads so that we'll react and the mods will have to close the thread once and for all. Also, nicely done with the under-handed insults directed at us. You're usually not so brave.

Everyone has a right to express their opinion WR. I still don't like the show either, but I know I'll be attacked if I even try to express my opinion. Instead of attacking him straight up, you should try to accept that people who do not like the show can ALSO post in this topic.

I agree that Campion should not have said "Little girls".

I'm not calling him a troll because he expressed an opinion! I DO accept that people who don't like the show can post on this topic. I have never had a problem with that. But what I do have a problem with are people coming onto this topic specifically to insult us. Read between the lines a little! That was blatantly an under-handed insult directed at us to try to get us to do something that would get this topic closed! It's what he's always wanted and everyone knows it! You're seriously going to tolerate this?

Yes, we are. The scheduling gets bounced around a little, so I'm not sure when new episodes are on. I've been getting them off of my satellite's automatic recording of episodes.

I don't think that's set in stone. It could this season for all I know. I guess it all depends on the ratings, but the feedback so far has been very positive.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on December 05, 2013, 07:49:06 PM
It airs on Saturday mornings.  Last morning the new episode started at 9:30am central. I only know since I watch it on a streaming show called The Brony Show that streams it from another streaming channel.  Not sure if this coming Saturday will have it at 9 or 9:30am.  

Nice since after that Circuit Mane streams some cartoons like the 80's TMNT and others after that.

As for how long it'll last.  That's up to Hasbro I guess.

Post by: Malte279 on December 05, 2013, 08:22:12 PM
Personally I continue to feel disgusted about the attitute by some people who don't like that franchise and based on that seem to consider it their mission to annoy those who do (often with "arguments" such as "bronies" acting like [insert term here] on other boards).
That franchise is absolutely not my cup of tea. I did watch an episode once and for me it felt like it raised my bloodsugar level.
However, I have absolutely no problem with the idea that other people may like it and I have never been urged by anyone to watch it or been otherwise harassed by the supporters of that franchise.
If people are critically interested in that franchise and would like to discuss specific negative points about it I am sure that such discussions are possible here (as has been the case in the past). If people however have a hearty dislike about the show then why on earth do you take it upon yourself to watch it and then go to people who like it to tell them how much you dislike it without any visible intention of starting a discussion or anything of any sorts? Is there nothing better to do with your time?
Land before time fans of all people should be a bit more open minded about people liking something that they themselves do not. Admittedly, the fandom of my little pony has become a bit of a mass movement rather than the single kid in a class who hides interest in LBT, but I still don't see why that is a reason to act like school children or worse.
I despise the kind of attitutes where members (from both sides of the argument) are deliberately trying to coax others into rule violations or the like.
Is live and let live really so much of a challenge?
My compliments to those of you who, whichever your personal view on the franchise may be are above such a low level of social competences.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 05, 2013, 08:49:37 PM
When has "live and let live" even been a part of campion1's character? He's always had this distinct "you better agree with me or else I won't hold your opinion in any kind of esteem" air about him. I'm guilty of it, too, but at least you won't see me going onto a Care Bears topic or whatever to throw pot shots at them.

Thank you Malte for showing once again that you can dislike something or at least not be interested in something and be civil about it.

While I do like MLP:FIM I don't mind if folks don't like it.  Not everyone can like everything.  There are some popular franchises I don't care for or like much but some do and that is fine.  They get to enjoy what they like and I do also.

Post by: LBTDiclonius on December 06, 2013, 12:29:55 AM
I don't mean to add anymore fuel to the fire, but I feel like he was just expressing his own opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that. He said that he gave it another chance and it still didn't appeal to him. Okay, that's fine with me. I like MLP, and don't really care if someone doesn't. Personally, I feel like he wasn't doing anything wrong and that it wasn't all that necessary to call him out on it. This definitely isn't something to to really get angry at someone over.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 06, 2013, 02:19:52 AM
Learn to read between the lines a little. That wasn't just expressing an opinion. That was him being needlessly snide about it and on top of that, he oh so "subtly" snuck in an insult directed at us. If I had any inclination that it was just him expressing his opinion, I wouldn't have said anything.

Keep in mind that campion1 has been dropping by with more negativity from day one of this thread. Every time he barges in here like he owns the place, he brings with him something else to bother us with.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

Maybe best to ignore his posts then if they bother you.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Mumbling on December 06, 2013, 03:02:36 AM
I agree with Kor here. The only reason the other people have stopped posting negative stuff in this topic is because they do not get a chance to. Campion could have stopped as well, but he chose not to. It could have been me saying I still didn't like the show, because I think all the characters are overrated. Anyway, this will remain a stupid discussion.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 06, 2013, 05:16:10 AM
And again, I don't care that you don't like the show as long as you're not going about it in ways you know will piss people off. That's why I called out campion. Not because he doesn't like it.

You guys all seem to think that my issue is that campion doesn't like the show. No. That's not it. My issue is the way he went about it.

This is not a MLP forum. This is a thread on a social forum welcoming open discussion about MLP. My post relates to critical discussion about MLP and merely cites bronies pleas as one reason for watching it. This is not a place for someone to piss on the thread and declare it their territory.

I will post my opinion when I want to. Please do not bend my post around and declare me a troll for doing that, Malte. LBTDiclonius, Kor and Mumbling get the right idea.

Thanks for the link.  As usual I'll be watching The Brony Show stream since afterwards Circtuit Mane will show an episode of the 80's TMNT and other cartoons.  Though I think he streams another stream.  Something called Otaku, not sure if I get that spelled right.  I just like that not just cause afterwards I get to see an episode of the 80's tmnt.  Making it feel sorta like cartoon Saturday mornings.  Though the Earthwork Jim is kinda ok once in a while.  Freakazoid is ok also, to me, as long as I don't see to much of it, maybe an episode very few months at most.

Based on the episode's title some fancanon may be rendered uncanon.  I wonder if it will be or not.  Just not saying the episode title in case some prefer not to know it.

Sounds like Rarity may have a song in that episode.  I think she's had 2 songs before.  Is the voice actress for Rarity the same as the one who sings her songs? I know some characters on the show have different people who sing then do the regular voice acting.

I am looking forward to tomorrow's episode and if it'll confirm or break the fan canon.  I also wonder if Rainbowdash will be one of the main characters or if it'll be more of a shared thing.  Avoiding any real detail, even mentioning the episode title since I'm sure some not only avoid spoilers but also what the episode titles are.  

I don't go after looking for spoilers, but if I hear or read one, that's ok.

Well, that's because...in a way, it was .

The guy who wrote the outline of it, Teddy Antonio, is a teenage brony whose parents apparently used to work with Hasbro.

Ugh!  I STILL can't wrap my head around how some of the "fans" came up with the idea of Twilight's mother being the author of the Daring Do books.  Yeah, pretty dumb if you ask me. :slap

Anyways, this was quite a good episode.  It was just too enjoyable.  I really like the idea of the actual author being Daring Do herself.  The adventure that happened was just awesome.  Really, the only ones I see hating this are the idiots I mentioned earlier.

It's really good and I would highly recommend it to any fan out there. :)

Well, time to see what theories there are of the next episode and how easily they'll be trounced.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on December 07, 2013, 10:45:31 PM
Nice episode this week. I was not expecting the author of Daring Do and the main character herself to be one and the same, and I especially didn't expect that reveal to happen so soon in the episode. It was also great to see the Mane 6, especially Rainbow Dash, get personally involved in the latest Daring Do adventure.

The one thing that particularly caught my attention was this quote: "I work alone." I've heard those three words used before in various shows and movies, and I like seeing it here as well. It shows that the hero has always done things a certain way, but their philosophy of flying solo is largely abandoned by the end of the adventure. Since this is a show about friendship, I find it to be an excellent concept to be featured.

The implications came from the Gameloft game and in the comics.

I'm of the "ala carte" method when it comes to canon and fanfiction. Take what's needed for the fic to work and discard what's not needed.

The other thing I'm finding odd is why so many people here are ridiculously spiteful towards headcanon and fanon.

Personally, I was just thinking, "Okay, either this is the shittiest self-insert ever, or a stroke of genius." I'm still not quite sure which one it is, and I still can't believe it's not fiction. Other than that, this episode is LITERALLY me about anything I'm excited about ever. *CoughcoughSEASONTHREEOFSHERLOCKJANUARY19THWAHHHHHcoughitycough* Not to mention that when Twilight and Rainbow are arguing is my and my friends over almost anything ever. Again. Although, it's always painful to watch your favorite character embarrass themselves.

And we got these gems.

Post by: Dash The Longneck on December 10, 2013, 07:56:24 PM
I loved this episode. Total plot twist, I was not expecting Do to be the Author. But, let me just say this did, Dash seem a bit too "Fan Girlish" almost to the point where she was way out of Character?  RD is my favorite of the Mane six, and it seemed like she was a bit too Fan Girlish , and annoying in some ways. But, I gotta admit, this made me go "Awwww"

 (https://mlpchan.net/oat/src/1386518831168.gif)

It was so obvious, that by the end of the episode a Hardened Daring was softened by Dash. Despite it being sort of out of character to admire Do this much, I really loved this episode. And it was really funny how Twilight and Dash were having that debate.

Post by: Kor on December 10, 2013, 10:42:27 PM

So, time for the Live Streams for tomorrow's new episode.  Before doing so, I have a few things to point out about the new one coming up.

First off, the new episode will focus on the Cutie Mark Crusaders, mainly focusing on Scootaloo.  Next, this episode has the rumor going on that she'll finally learn to fly.  However, remember that this is only a rumor based on nothing more than the synopsis.  Do not go flaming and bashing if it doesn't happen.  Finally, there is said to be a song in this one.  We shall see, though.

Anyways, with all that out of the way, here is the link to the ones that are Live Streaming the new episode.

I'm pretty much okay with anything they do with Scootaloo as long as it isn't completely out of left field and against her character. Have her turn out to be a disabled due to under-developed wings? Fine. Have her learn to fly? Fine. Have her get her Cutie Mark? Please, do.

I'm going to be honest, this week's episode was just okay to me. Not great, but I certainly don't hate it. (I love this series too much to hate any episode.) I guess the main reason for this is that the status-quo in maintained, so to speak. Scootaloo still can't fly, the CMC still don't have their cutie marks, and we still know nothing about Scootaloo's family.

At least we got a little scene in Scootaloo's bedroom (proving that she's not homeless, as some fans think). Those Wonderbolts posters seem to show that she's just as much a fan of them as Rainbow Dash is. Speaking of whom, I think it was nice of her to say that, regardless of whether or not Scootaloo is ever able to fly, she'll always think she's cool.

Despite having the first song of the season, this episode just didn't have much of an impact on me. :unsure:

You'd think Hasbro would be on the creative team's asses to get the CMC their Cutie Marks, considering how they've been pushing them to introduce new characters and places in Equestria in order to make new toys. Hell, Alicorn Twilight has worked out for them.

Here's what I think... they are gonna WAIT and give maybe the Cutie Marks a cutie Mark on the last episode of Season 4 and than have an extended wait. It would keep Bronies interested in a "What's gonna happen now" sort of way for a while. Kinda like how Twilight became an alicorn at the end of season 3.

I really liked this episode a lot. It has been a while since I saw a Scoot episode. All though it still raises questions whether Scoot has a family or is she just a filly at a Orphanage.

That sounds like a dumb idea for the show's creators. No one watches this show for the CMC. At this point, I think most bronie are done with the "CMC seek their Cutie Marks" plot line and just want it over with.

Okay, I will say this now about the song, it may not be all that great, but it sure is catchy!

Anyways, sorry I'm so late with this!  Spent the day with the family and two little devils just wouldn't shut up so I can concentrate on what I wanted to say! <_<

On topic, there's not much I can say about this episode and it's kind of forgetful for me.  It was good, but I only remember the main points about it.

I do see some fans hopeful that The Equestria Games will happen as the last episode of the season, but we'll see. :)

I liked the episode overall.  The 2 fillies were very annoying.  It did make sense they got away without punishment since none of the cms's, especially Scootaloo, ever said anything like, but Silverspoon said... (I don't recall what either of their names are).   It'll be interesting to see if the CMC's do their act in the Equistrian Games.  I hope it doesn't feel rushed if it is the last episode of this season, like the last episode of season 3 felt very rushed to me.  

I didn't like they way they made it seem like they went all the way to the Crystal Empire with Dash flying and Scootaloo pulling the other 2 on her scooter.  Makes more sense that Rainbow Dash went ahead and had the train wait at the next station, (or where the train would need to stop to take on water if it works like the steam trains of this world did in the 19th century) while the CMC's got to that area and got on the train.

“Bats!” ó When Applejack’s beautiful orchard falls under attack on Apple Bucking Day, it is clear that the dreaded Vampire Fruitbats have returned and Applejack is ready to take drastic measures to protect the orchard. However, the always compassionate Fluttershy argues for a more humane plan, which causes conflict between the two and could cost them their friendship, on “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic,” Saturday, December 28 at 10:30 a.m. ET/ 7:30 a.m. PT on the Hub Network.

Amazing enough, you just said one of their names when you said Silverspoon. They are named after their cutie marks so the one with the Silver Spoon cutie mark is literally called Silver Spoon , and the one with the Tiara cutie mark is called Diamond Tiara. I am looking forward to that "Bats" episode I wonder what they mean by more " humane." Are they really gonna have Applejack talk about trying to kill these Bats in a kids show?

Epic episode. :)  Superheroes are always awesome, and it was neat seeing the kind of powers they got here: Pinkie Pie is super speedy, Rainbow Dash can unleash weather forces, Rarity is like the Green Lantern, Fluttershy is like the Hulk, and... I'm not sure how to describe what Applejack and Twilight got, but they were just as impressive. Overall, I see a lot of fanfiction potential from this episode. The concept of an enchanted comic book like that is interesting.

Outside of the comic book, I wonder why Celestia and Luna suddenly want their old castle to be repaired? I'm sure we'll find out in a much later episode.

Post by: Kor on December 21, 2013, 06:51:28 PM
I had fun watching it.  It seemed to me at the time that it was a mix of The Avengers & Justice League.  Pinkie was the flash I'd guess.  Fluttershy the hulk.  Applejack was wonder woman.  Some versions of wonder woman do have mental control over their lasso.  Twilight may have been Dr Fate, though he's more of a Justice Society member and not a JLA member.  The closest mage type that I know of that was a JLA member is either Zatanna or Zatarra, never can remember which is the father and which is the daughter, but they have to say what they want to happen backwards.  

Spike could have been any kid sidekick, Bucky Barnes, Rick Jones (who did briefly wear the bucky outfit in the captain america comics), & did hang out with the avengers in their early days.  Snapper Car did with the JLA but he never put on a costume.  

As for the old castle being fixed up my guess is they'll give it to Twilight to use since she is a princess and it is close to Ponyville.  I sorta guessed that when they showed the sneak peak video of some bits from early season 4.  Their old castle may get fixed up and given to Twilight.

Man, that new episode was just AWESOME!  I loved that the Mane Six represented some of my favorite Super Heroes.  Pinkie Pie as Flash, Fluttershy as The Hulk, (Which ironically fits as Fluttershy is the one you really, really, REALLY don't want to get angry.) Applejack as Wonder Woman, Rarity as Green Lantern and Rainbow Dash as Storm from X-Men.  However, Twilight I can't figure out for the life of me.  From what Spike said, we know she can do more than just ice, despite that's all we got to see.

The origin of the villain is reminiscent of The Joker, but the powers completely elude me on whom she is meant to represent. (Though she could be Sedusa from Powerpuff Girls.) Still made for a good villain, though.

In fact, it's so good, I dare anyone to hate it.  Heck, I dare to say that even the haters of the show will like this one. (Though they'll NEVER admit it. ;) ) Definitely enjoyed it, and it's one I would watch again.

That's all from me!

I can only think of a few that Mane-iac could be.  One is Medusa (Her power is prehensile hair), she originally was a villain in the early early days of the Fantastic Four, though when the inhumans appeared she became good and stayed good ever after, as far as I know.  Even serving as a member of the FF for a time. Another possibility is the Spidey villian Doc Oct (Doctor Octavious, Doctor Octopus).

I absolutely loved this episode. It seems like every character had the costume that fit them perfectly. All though it's kinda funny how the cashier pony never really said anything to Spike, about the book being "Enchanted" literally, or why any book store would sell something like that, Is there a high demand for books that suck their readers into the books? You gotta be real selective for picking out those kinds of books. :lol: I feel bad for the pony that picked out the book on Aliens or dragons. LOL!!!

Post by: The Chronicler on December 22, 2013, 09:48:15 PM
After reading comments here and on other sites, here's what I think each of the Power Ponies are based on:
Pinkie Pie/Fili-Second: the Flash
Rainbow Dash/Zapp: Storm
Fluttershy/Saddle Rager: the Incredible Hulk
Rarity/Radiance: the Green Lantern
Applejack/Mistress Mare-velous: both Wonder Woman and Batman
Twilight Sparkle/Masked Matter-Horn: I'm still not sure, I'll take a wild guess and say Superman

As awesome as this episode was, keep in mind there are people who don't like superhero movies, so I think it will be those people who would not like this episode. Oh well, let them hate. I still think this week's episode was epic. I can't wait until Tuesday to see it again on the Hub website.

In addition, I have a feeling that "Flutterhulk" will become a popular meme this week.

A rather interesting episode this week. Apparently, the fruit bats seen last season are different from the vampiric kind shown in this episode, which suck on fruit instead of blood. And, of course, another one of Twilight's spells has an unfortunate side affect, this one turning Fluttershy partially into a vampire fruit bat. At least they were able to turn her back to normal (mostly).

I'm starting to see a pattern this season: many episodes seem to have a rather foreboding ending. Third episode, we saw that other "pony of shadows"; last week, that comic book suddenly vanished; and this week, Fluttershy is shown to not quite be back to normal. I can't help but think if maybe all of these things may end up essentially come crashing down by the time we get to the season finale. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on December 29, 2013, 08:12:43 PM
I hope they do something with that ending!  I will not forgive them otherwise! :p

All joking aside, this was a good episode.  It was definitely meant to be a Halloween one, but the delay made this one not air when it was supposed to.  To be honest, I did not expect this.  Fluttershy turning into a part pony, part vampire fruit bat creature?  The writers surprised me completely, and I absolutely loved them for doing it.  Just watch, there will be plenty of fanfictions about her turning back into what the fans have dubbed "Flutterbat", and only a handful of them will be good.

So yeah, loved it, but I think I'll save for watching it again when Halloween rolls round next year.

Well, time to wait for the next episode.  Which I'll probably have a criticism about just from the synopsis alone.  We'll see though. :)

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: landbeforetimelover on December 31, 2013, 09:35:56 PM
The bats episode was one of my least favorite.  Actually, most of season 4 so far has been pretty mediocre.  The Daring Do one was excellent.  The pilot episodes were okay if a bit weird.  I didn't like that they took away the Elements of Harmony.  But the bats episode was just......wrong.  It was dark and just didn't feel like ponies at all.  It felt almost evil.  Seeing the characters portrayed that way just didn't sit well with me.  

Here's the thing.  Some of the stories are becoming....well......pretty bad and predictable.  The show is losing substance...the thing that made me actually like it in the first place.  Sure the stories were simple, but they were complex at the same time.  They had a kind of undertone to them that spoke to older audiences and you could tell there was actually thought put into them.  Now the stories are more fan service and the complexity is gone.  The spirit of the show is gone.  

It's like the writers are thinking "oh yeah, that would be cool.  Let's do that."  and that's all they're thinking.  But before they had to try to make the show for little girls as the target audience and try to teach valuable lessons.  The "lessons" now seem forced and cheesy.  Like they came up with the story then tried to justify it with a lesson rather than focusing on the lesson and building a story around it.  Don't get me wrong.  You need some stories like that (the Daring Do one is a great example).  But it shouldn't be the entire show.

Post by: Kor on December 31, 2013, 10:01:17 PM
I've seen the episode more then once.  I still can say I liked it overall, but I'd classify it as one of the lesser episodes.  Not one of those I don't want to watch again, but one of those I'll watch, but not as often as one of the episodes I think of as greater episodes.  Given how many episodes there are each season (apart from season 3) I can see how there would be lesser episodes & some, here and there, that I don't want to watch again.

It was obvious that Fluttershy would have the right solution from the start.  

I do look forward to seeing Weird Al on the show.  Wonder what his character will be like.  I've heard what his character name will be, but not sure if it will be that name or not.

I'm sorry, but the show has changed a lot.  It is no longer focused on the original thing it was about.  The original creator of the show is gone and it really shows.  You can tell the fanbase has really affected the direction of the show, and not in a good way in my opinion.  Season 2 was worse than season 1, but it was still a great show.  Season 3 was a little worse than season 2, but not by a huge margin.  And it had a lot of good episodes and good things about it too so it made up for it.  But so far aside from one or two episodes, season 4 is really different.  If you like it or if anyone likes it, that's fine.  But it's really changed a lot and it's not the same show I fell in love with.  Will I still watch it?  Sure.  But it is vastly different from the original season when Faust was still there.  And my "opinion" is shared by many in the community.  Unfortunately a lot of them don't express this in a very mature way.  Thankfully I'm not like them otherwise you'd have a flaming fireball flame flying right at you right now WR.  You need to cool your jets.  Lots of people in this fandom (speaking of MLP, not LBT) are very hot-headed when it comes to the show, and I've never quite understood why.  It's just a show after all.  It's not like I'm insulting your dead mother by spitting on her grave or anything (and just in case your mother has actually passed on, please forgive me if she has.  I really don't know.  It's just a figure of speech.).

As for the "evil" thing, go back to the first season and watch all the episodes.  You won't find anything REMOTELY dark or evil in ANY of those episodes.  It just doesn't fit and it's not something that belongs in ponies.  It gave me a sick feeling watching that episode.  I plan to rewatch it soon just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure I'll still have the same opinion about it.

I'm sorry, but the show has changed a lot.  It is no longer focused on the original thing it was about.  The original creator of the show is gone and it really shows.  You can tell the fanbase has really affected the direction of the show, and not in a good way in my opinion.  Season 2 was worse than season 1, but it was still a great show.  Season 3 was a little worse than season 2, but not by a huge margin.  And it had a lot of good episodes and good things about it too so it made up for it.  But so far aside from one or two episodes, season 4 is really different.  If you like it or if anyone likes it, that's fine.  But it's really changed a lot and it's not the same show I fell in love with.  Will I still watch it?  Sure.  But it is vastly different from the original season when Faust was still there.  And my "opinion" is shared by many in the community.  Unfortunately a lot of them don't express this in a very mature way.  Thankfully I'm not like them otherwise you'd have a flaming fireball flame flying right at you right now WR.  You need to cool your jets.  Lots of people in this fandom (speaking of MLP, not LBT) are very hot-headed when it comes to the show, and I've never quite understood why.  It's just a show after all.  It's not like I'm insulting your dead mother by spitting on her grave or anything (and just in case your mother has actually passed on, please forgive me if she has.  I really don't know.  It's just a figure of speech.).

As for the "evil" thing, go back to the first season and watch all the episodes.  You won't find anything REMOTELY dark or evil in ANY of those episodes.  It just doesn't fit and it's not something that belongs in ponies.  It gave me a sick feeling watching that episode.  I plan to rewatch it soon just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure I'll still have the same opinion about it.
I haven't seen much change, in the direction of season 4. Great episode, kick ass song that I can't get out of my head. I have no problem with you disagreeing. Not everyone is gonna like everything. But, the season is only in like episode 8 right? If I were you I would judge season 4, once season 4 is over. I think they might recover, but like I said we all have our own opinions. These cliff hangers are really good. We have like 4 or five now.( first it was that magic box with those keys thing, the pony of shadows, the Equestria games thing, the disappearing book and finally Fluttershy's tooth in the last one). So, yeah I have always been one to sorta wait till the end of a season to judge a season of a paticular show.

Um, no.

Quote
It is no longer focused on the original thing it was about. The original creator of the show is gone and it really shows.
And the show wasn't even the original creator's original vision for the show, anyway. She wanted a somewhat darker and more action packed series with longer plots to begin with. If anything, this is more in line with what Faust intended. So there.

Quote
You can tell the fanbase has really affected the direction of the show, and not in a good way in my opinion. Season 2 was worse than season 1, but it was still a great show. Season 3 was a little worse than season 2, but not by a huge margin. And it had a lot of good episodes and good things about it too so it made up for it.
All your opinion, not fact.

Quote
But so far aside from one or two episodes, season 4 is really different.
GASP! D-d-d-different! Oh, say it isn't so! How dare a series gradually expand and change over the course of its run! How dare the creators not allow status quo to be The Almighty Word of God that dictates how the show continues! I mean, keeping a show and it's focus and characters stagnant and exactly same from start to finish was ALWAYS worked out so well for shows that last longer than 1-3 seasons. Right, Smallville? I know I just loved how ridiculously staunch it's show-runners were about maintaining the status quo long, long after it was sane to do so (and then mercifully, they were replaced in the final stretch). I also "love" that Clark Kent was firmly grounded from flight even though HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON A JOURNEY TO BECOME SUPERMAN.[/sarcasm]

Quote
If you like it or if anyone likes it, that's fine. But it's really changed a lot and it's not the same show I fell in love with.
And if it didn't change, it wouldn't survive. It can't just be Twilight sending Princess Celestia friendship lessons into close a hundred episodes.

Quote
Will I still watch it? Sure. But it is vastly different from the original season when Faust was still there. And my "opinion" is shared by many in the community.
And my opinion is shared by far more in the community. If we're going to go this route of the argument, I'm afraid you'll find yourself vastly outnumbered. I also love how you put "opinion" is quotations, like you think that it's ridiculous to have your point of view called such. It's almost like you think that it's an absolute fact that the show sucks now and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. I hate to break to you, but I'm not wrong in saying that it's still a great series. And honestly, if you don't like the newer episodes, just stop watching.

Quote
Unfortunately a lot of them don't express this in a very mature way. Thankfully I'm not like them otherwise you'd have a flaming fireball flame flying right at you right now WR. You need to cool your jets. Lots of people in this fandom (speaking of MLP, not LBT) are very hot-headed when it comes to the show, and I've never quite understood why. It's just a show after all. It's not like I'm insulting your dead mother by spitting on her grave or anything (and just in case your mother has actually passed on, please forgive me if she has. I really don't know. It's just a figure of speech.).
I don't need to cool my jets. I just think that you're taking the fact that the series WILL and HAS TO change way too poorly. Yes, I get that you fell in love with Season 1, and maybe the show isn't exactly the same anymore, but it's hardly fair to judge the new episodes based just on that and not on their own merits.

Quote
As for the "evil" thing, go back to the first season and watch all the episodes. You won't find anything REMOTELY dark or evil in ANY of those episodes. It just doesn't fit and it's not something that belongs in ponies. It gave me a sick feeling watching that episode. I plan to rewatch it soon just to make sure, but I'm pretty sure I'll still have the same opinion about it.
Actually, the darker tone DOES fit and it DOES have a place in ponies, like it or not. Also, you're remembering the first season wrong. Nightmare Moon? She was evil. Granted, she was Luna having lost control of her powers and gone insane, but still evil. Think about the effects of casting an eternal night over Equestria for a good, long minute. It isn't pretty, is it? Yeah, it's actually a pretty dark premise when you think about it. Let's see, without the sun the plants die and there's no heat to keep everything from freezing over. So in all casting nocturnal eternal over Equestria turns it into an uninhabitable wasteland and all the ponies and every other creature that ever lived there either freezes or starves to death. So yeah, Twilight and friends were fighting for THEIR SURVIVAL AS FAR BACK AS EPISODE 1!
Also, the G1 Pony series was much, MUCH darker in many ways. In the original setting of Dream Valley, there was always some dark overlord or eldritch abomination wreaking havoc of apocalyptic proportions.

Here's a little something to keep in mind: bad things exist. Period. Dark, evil things exist. Children's fairy tales, movies, and TV shows exist for the purposes of helping parents prepare their children for the real life and some of the not-so-pleasant things they WILL face when they grow up. The fact that MLP: FIM has brought more villains into the mix is a good thing, if anything. Not everyone is your friend, and as a matter of fact, actively want to screw you over or harm you in some way. Tell me again how introducing a few villains is a bad thing.
Okay, sure, the bats were just hungry and not exactly villains, but they're also hardly the first thing to ever try to wreck the Apple family's farm and I never heard you complain about any of the other times they had problems. And Twilight's magic has ALWAYS had weird side-effects. What happened with Fluttershy is not out of the norm for the series.

Truth be told, I think you're just trying to find things to hate on.

The bats episode was one of my least favorite.  Actually, most of season 4 so far has been pretty mediocre.  The Daring Do one was excellent.  The pilot episodes were okay if a bit weird.  I didn't like that they took away the Elements of Harmony.  But the bats episode was just......wrong.  It was dark and just didn't feel like ponies at all.  It felt almost evil.  Seeing the characters portrayed that way just didn't sit well with me.  

Here's the thing.  Some of the stories are becoming....well......pretty bad and predictable.  The show is losing substance...the thing that made me actually like it in the first place.  Sure the stories were simple, but they were complex at the same time.  They had a kind of undertone to them that spoke to older audiences and you could tell there was actually thought put into them.  Now the stories are more fan service and the complexity is gone.  The spirit of the show is gone.  

It's like the writers are thinking "oh yeah, that would be cool.  Let's do that."  and that's all they're thinking.  But before they had to try to make the show for little girls as the target audience and try to teach valuable lessons.  The "lessons" now seem forced and cheesy.  Like they came up with the story then tried to justify it with a lesson rather than focusing on the lesson and building a story around it.  Don't get me wrong.  You need some stories like that (the Daring Do one is a great example).  But it shouldn't be the entire show.
Okay, out of curiosity, what would make a perfect MLP:FiM episode for you?

--------

I haven't had time to watch all the episodes but so far, this is shaping up to be an improvement over S3, which I believe might be due to the fact there are more episodes so things needn't be rushed.

It's time yet again to post the Live Streams for the new episode!

So, this is the episode that is rumored to talk about plagiarism.  All I know from the synopsis is that some pony is going to be ruining Rarity's chances to win the fashion contest in Manehatten.  We shall see where it goes with this one.

For now, here is the link for the streams.

Post by: The Chronicler on January 04, 2014, 08:50:17 PM
With this being the first Rarity-centered episode since early in season 2, I can see why certain fans would be excited about this week's episode. But what made me like it was the simple fact that it took place in a big city. We've already seen how ponies live in a small town like Ponyville, so to see what city life is like (and I mean a real city, not just Canterlot) is fascinating.

The downside is that it displays the stereotype that city people (or city ponies in this case) are rude and dishonest, as we can see by the designer who stole Rarity's designs. She wasn't just copying, she was willing to lie and use other dirty tricks in order to win.

Anyway, it was nice to see some brand new characters (first time ever in season 4 (aside from the Power Ponies and Mane-iac)), as well as a brief return of some characters previously seen only momentarily all the way back in season 1.

Overall, not bad, in my opinion.

In general I liked it, but it felt like the episode was maybe planned to be in season 3 since no mention is made of Twilight being a princess.  She could have just ordered a taxi driver to take Rarity.  None of the city ponies noticed a alicorn walking around?   She could have easily fixed some of the problems with her princess authority.   Though if one puts the episode into season 3, it fits better.  Same as Daring Don't, now that I think about it.  No other ponies noticing she's an alicorn, especially strangers.  Feels like this one, and maybe Daring Don't, were originally planned to be season 3 episodes but when Hasbro (if that is who it was) who said season 3 will have only 13 episodes, so you can spend the rest of the time working on a movie idea we have.  Maybe these, and some other episodes, that were planned as season 3 were held back for season 4, without any rewriting done to take into account the changes between seasons 3 and 4.

I said earlier that, depending on how the whole plagiarism deal was handled, I would criticize it.  However, I would've only done so if it wasn't handled right.  They did it perfectly, portraying nicely that, if Rarity showed up with the same thing, she, herself, would be seen as the one committing the crime, all because her opponent was someone who is high end.

I did question her using the hotel stuff as replacement for her entries at first, but when I saw just how good it looked on the models, I really didn't care at that point.  Rarity has definitely proven once again that she has talent in making pretty much anything work for clothing.

The song was enjoyable, if not irony inducing for a certain rainbow-maned pony who dared to question a certain aspect of the show.  Oh how I enjoyed it. :)

Also, I hope that Coco quitting was the beginning of karma attacking the cheater.  If so, then karma continues being the 81t(h I love for giving out revenge well deserved. :D

Overall, I enjoyed the episode.  Not great, but still a good solid entry into the fourth season.  Let's hope for more good ones.

So, what's next again?

Oh yes!  The episode that reveals whether or not Pinkie Pie is related to Applejack.  That should be good.

Well, that's all from me!

Another relatively good episode. No twist ending this time, but we still don't know for sure if Pinkie Pie really is related to the Apple family. I see this being pretty much like "Flight to the Finish", where something remains unconfirmed and thus maintains the status quo. In fact, I now realized there's been only one episode so far this season that did not have an open ending: #4, "Daring Don't".

Of course, with Pinkie Pie involved, there were plenty of funny moments. Plus, we got more than a few words out of Big Mac. "Eeyu- Hey!"

Next week's episode will focus on Rainbow Dash. Speaking of whom, I just noticed that this is the first episode since "Putting Your Hoof Down" (S2 E19) where Rainbow Dash didn't appear at all. That's 28 in a row, not quite breaking the record of 30 set by Twilight Sparkle (all of season 1 and the first four of season 2).

Overall I did like watching the episode.  More then some episodes this season like last certain parts of last weeks episode rarity takes manehattan and Bats.  I figured they would do something that maintains the status quo as it was before the episode, and no biggie with Pinkie being considered part of the family.  Applejack said that about the other main characters way back in season 2 episode with the Flim & Flam brothers I think, that she felt they were family or something like that.

Man, if there was any episode where I would've done the whole SPOILER GUIDE again, this one was it!  The ONLY reason I didn't do it was because of the fact that I had to get ready for work while watching the show simultaneously that day.  Seriously, I had a lot to say while watching it.  Oh well! :)

So, we STILL don't have an answer as to whether or not Pinkie and Applejack are related.  Despite that, I still believe they are related.  The reason I say this is because Goldie Delicious seems to also have the "Screw You Physics Gene" in her, much like Pinkie does.  You CAN NOT tell me that such power can't be passed down through the generations.  So yeah, if anything, the two might actually have a common ancestor after all. :)

As for the episode itself, it did keep me quite entertained and it was fun to watch.  I pretty much enjoyed every minute of it.  Definitely something I would watch if I was just feeling down for the day and needed something to perk me back up. :)

Next week, we see if Rainbow Dash will stick with the Ponyville Team or the Cloudsdale Team for the upcoming Equestria Games. :)

REVIEW POST!

WARNING!  CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Oh boy!  Fans are going to go crazy with the fact that Derpy got more than just a "Where's Derpy" cameo!  Seriously, she was the back-up for the Ponyville Team!

This was a good episode.  They even had a few guest characters get more screen time and did well with them.  Oh, and the muscle-bound pegasus has an official name now.  It's Bulk Biceps!  Makes sense, I guess.

Anyways, the main plot focuses around Rainbow Dash having to choose between flying with her friends or getting her chance to be with The Wonderbolts all because Soarin' got injured.  It was a difficult decision for her.  So much so, that she faked being injured herself just so she wouldn't have to choose.  In the end though, I feel she made the right choice by choosing to be with her friends.  Definitely the Element of Loyalty.  No question asked. :)

Definitely one of the best of the season, thus far.  It is worth it to watch it! :)

I'll be putting up the episode link later.  For now, see ya later! :wave

I'd have to watch it again to get a more thorough view on my thoughts, but overall I liked it except for one thing, that wasn't important to the overall plot.  Why did Bulk Biceps have problems flying when he didn't in the Wonderbolts Academy Episode.  I knew who Rainbowdash would choose at the end, based on her personality and what she has done in the past.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on January 18, 2014, 12:42:09 PM
I'm also going to point out something the fans are doing!  They claim "official shipping" moments have happened, but I'm not sure.  The fans have paired Fluttershy with Bulk Biceps.  I'm going to have to watch the episode again to see what they are talking about.

The fans are still trying to pair Rainbow Dash with Soarin'.  They are using the moment the two talked as a hint.  Pretty weak if you ask me.

Finally, in last week's episode, fans pointed out that Pinkie took a controversial picture of Big Mac.  Your call on that one.

So yeah, nothing official, and I feel the fans are going more crazy than they should.  As usual! :rolleyes:
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on January 18, 2014, 01:33:56 PM
For the shipping I agree with the person who was in the call of a past Brony Show episode, don't recall which episode it was or which who it was, but what they said was if they show any 2 ponies standing together or shown talking, fans will use that excuse to ship them.  Even if they are just standing close to each other in a crowd scene.   'Oh look, those 2 are standing together, they have to be a couple."  

"They showed x talking to y in the background of a scene of Twilight walking.  They have to be a couple."  

"look b is standing next to c in that crowd scene.  That means they are a couple."

One of the best S4 episodes.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on January 18, 2014, 10:24:31 PM
Another good episode.

One background character, now officially known as Bulk Biceps, appeared frequently in this episode and had many lines. Perhaps some other background characters might get this treatment in future episodes?

We also saw the return of Derpy (and the fans go nuts afterwards). Not only that, but it was for multiple scenes, even though she didn't say anything at all. Considering the controversy back in season 2, I think that was pretty much the most we could have realistically expected to see in an official episode.

I can now say a pattern has been confirmed for this season. Look at Rainbow Dash in this episode and Rarity in "Rarity Takes Manehattan" and you'll see some similarities. In Rarity's episode, she received a spool of thread from Coco Pommel; In this episode, Rainbow Dash received a Wonderbolts badge from Spitfire. Of the remaining four, I predict Pinkie Pie will be next, in two weeks. (Interestingly enough, that also happens to be the one that will feature Weird Al, so that makes two things to look forward to in that episode.)

I'm sure they'd call it an animation mistake.  But if one were to do their own canon, there are a few alicorns shown over the seasons so far, as background ponies.  Maybe ones who ascended like Twilight did, but Celestia & Luna didn't see them so don't know about them.  After all what if one ascended while Celestia was asleep, a few years back, before Nightmare Moon had returned from the moon, or while Luna was helping some pony with their nightmare.  or Celestia was busy doing something.  She was there for Twilight since she was expecting her to appear there.

"An elated Pinkie Pie is planning the biggest and best birthday party ever for Rainbow Dash, but when a strange new party planning pony named Cheese Sandwich rides into town, plans change. Soon, everyone is so excited about Cheese Sandwich's party that they forget about Pinkie Pie, causing her to question her own talents and abilities; however, Pinkie Pie's pride won't let her go down without an amazing, daring duel."
I can't wait for that episode. Just for the sole purpose of who is gonna be playing Cheese Sandwich. "Weird" Al Yankovic plays as him in that episode, and I am super excited to hear "weird" Al is gonna be in a episode.

Now, back to last Saturday's episode, as a rainbow dash fan I can honestly say I loved this episode and bringing back Derpy? I am super excited about that.

February 8 – “Simple Ways”: Rarity has a crush on travel writer, Trenderhoof, and plans to wow him with her ideas for the upcoming Ponyville Days Festival. But Trenderhoof soon has a crush of his own, and Rarity finds herself competing with Applejack for his attention.

February 15 – “Filli Vanilli”: When a member of the singing group, the Ponytones, has to drop out of an important performance, Fluttershy takes drastic measures to ensure that the show goes on.

February 22 – “Twilight Time”: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are thrilled when Twilight offers to help them with their studies. However, problems arise when the girls realize they can use their relationship with Twilight to increase their popularity.

Here we go again with the LIVE STREAMS for tomorrow's episode.

In this one, Discord gets sick and the mane six need to take care of him.  However, it's Twilight's patience that wears thin on this one.  I wonder if he's just trolling, like always. :)

I enjoyed the episode overall.  Though I'd have to watch it another time or 2 to get my full feelings.  I did enjoy the twist ending.

Definitely another great episode. You can always expect crazy humor with Discord around. :lol:  I honestly didn't know what kind of song to expect from him, but once I saw and heard it, I knew that it fit perfectly for his type of character. It was also nice to see Twilight and Cadance working together. I also liked that "health bubble" spell Cadance used to protect herself and Twilight. Especially when Discord got what he deserved for playing sick by ending up sick for real. But what I really liked the most from this episode was that cameo appearance of Flash Sentry. I actually like that Equestria Girls movie, so I thought it was nice to see him (pony version, of course) appear in the actual show, even as just a cameo. :)

Thank you latest episode for giving me the decisive evidence that EQG is cannon!  The haters have no more defense against such a claim now. :)

Anyways, this episode was just enjoyable.  Discord always brings in the comedy quite nicely every time he's around.  This time was definitely no exception. :D

I just knew he was faking it before the episode even aired.  I also had a feeling karma would come for him by the end of the episode, and I was right. :)

As for Discord's Song, I swear that I have heard the tune of it somewhere before, but I can't figure out where.  I agree that it does fit him quite well though. :)

All in all, a really good episode, and one of the best of the season so far.  I definitely enjoyed it.

Next up, Weird Al!  Can't wait!

After reading the transcript and watching the episode a second time on the Hub website, I noticed that two geographical references were made. The first was at the Starswirl museum, where Cadance pointed out a candle that was used in the caverns of Maretania (referring to the country of Mauritania in Africa). The other was in Discords song, where he asked for pastries from Abyssinia (actually the name of a real place, better known today as Ethiopia). As someone who likes geography, I found all of this to be quite interesting.

Okay, a few things I want to say about tomorrow's episode.

First off, the original source of the link I gave was not from a leak.  In reality, it was put onto Google Play early by Hasbro themselves.  Yep, they did that! :)

Second, there are several songs in the episode and the ones that Weird Al sang was pretty much what I expected out of him.  I pretty much can't hate his music even if I wanted to. :D

That's all I'll say for now, and I'll be back with the Live Stream link later tonight!

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on February 01, 2014, 10:30:16 PM
I've got one word for this episode, just one word: Epic.

There was definitely no shortage of funny moments here. My favorite moment was when Cheese Sandwich started singing "Smile, smile, smile" and Pinkie goes "Hey! That's my song!" (clearly a reference to the fact that Weird Al does song parodies)

Speaking of songs, I anticipated there would be a lot in this episode, so I had decided to keep count as I watched, and came up with a total of seven songs (surpassing even Magical Mystery Cure, the season 3 finale). I can't even remember half of them, but they certainly helped to move the episode along.

I also liked seeing that flashback that not only explained Cheese Sandwich's backstory, but also showed him, Pinkie Pie, and other background characters as foals. I would not be surprised to see fanart of this soon afterward.

As I had expected, Pinkie Pie had her "rainbow moment" in this episode, and received a gift from Cheese Sandwich. What was this gift? A rubber chicken. I had not anticipated that, but in hindsight, I probably should have.

A good episode indeed, and I can easily see this one becoming a fan favorite.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on February 01, 2014, 11:32:19 PM
Just realized thinking about it.  That the rubber chicken has come full circle.  Cheese Sandwich got it in Ponyville and he gives it to Pinkie while in Ponyville.  Also it looks like Cheese Sandwich ran away from home and traveled for the remainder of his childhood.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 02, 2014, 12:05:02 AM
You know the one "big-overreacting" complaint I saw with this episode?  It's that some say that Cheese Sandwich is a male version of Pinkie Pie.  Oh boy!  How I would love to go into a little rant that pretty much would shut them up and make them look like idiots in the end.

Anyways, really enjoyed the episode.  I just couldn't help but love it!

The songs were good, the storyline was WAY more than enjoyable and Weird Al was just a blast the whole way through.

There's really nothing I can hate with this one.  They did a great job with this one.

Let's see, what was the next one again?  Oh yes!  The Love Triangle Episode!  I'll definitely watch that one, just to see if Hasbro can be one of the companies that does something right with this kind of thing for a change.

That's all for now!

I don't have much to say about this week's new episode. For me, this was what I'd call a "so crazy I can't watch (outside the privacy of my bedroom)" type of episode (a type I've seen before in many other cartoons that I would never be a fan of, and am glad that so there are so few in MLP:FiM). Not that I'm calling it bad episode, but more like... the kind I'm less likely to watch than others.

What I mean by the crazy part is not that so-called love-triangle, but rather how Rarity progressively makes more and more of a fool of herself. I'm just glad Applejack was able to snap her out of it and get things back to normal. Most other "too crazy" shows I've seen don't even bother to resolve said craziness by the end, so I'm at least glad to see that this case finished with a return to normalcy.

First off, I want to apologize for not giving my review of Last Week's Episode.  I couldn't really convey all my thoughts on it.  So I had no idea what to really say about it.  I'm sorry!

(I'm making this post earlier than usual, since I'm going to see The LEGO Movie soon, and I'd like to get my thoughts on this week's new MLP episode written down before then.)

A rather nice episode. It was nice to hear the return of Flutterguy, from all the way back in season 1. I also found it funny how Big Mac's "explaining" was just Applejack making assumptions and Big Mac confirming each and every one of them. :lol:  I guess any time he speaks more words (or in this case, sing in the first performance) is the only time he's allowed to do so in the entire episode.

As for Fluttershy's "key episode", I have a feeling that will actually be in that Breezies episode in two weeks, based on what I've read. Anyway, I am looking forward to next week's episode, focusing on the CMC and Twilight. I'm interested to see how that will turn out.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 18, 2014, 01:17:02 AM
Thanks to Equestria Daily, I found that the title and plot for the latest episode is based on the group Milli Vanilli of the Late 80s and Early 90s.  The real life group were apparently a part of the lip-syncing scandal, which eventually was figured out and their fame died very quickly after being discovered.  It's a shame too as I never heard of the group and I chose to give their songs a listen out of curiosity and found them to be good for the most part.

As for the episode, I really enjoyed it, save for Pinkie Pie, which I'm sure a number of you can guess why I hated those parts.

I definitely was not expecting Flutterguy to be playing the role of the replacement.  I mean, at the start of the episode, they nicely showed that Fluttershy has a very nice singing voice that could land her a career if she wasn't so shy about, well, everything.  Still, it was a wonderful call back that I enjoyed.

I did like the songs of the episode and it did have a well written plot.  If it wasn't for Pinkie, I would've called it one of the "perfect" episodes where I can't hate ANYTHING about it.

So yeah, enjoyed it, but it would've been better without Pinkie Pie.

Well, that's all from me.

Interesting Episodes.   Sounds like the Swetie Belle one may have Luna appear in just 1 scene maybe.  Like in the one where Scootaloo has nightmares.  

The other sounds like Granny Smith may have a decent size part in that episode, and it'll be interesting to see them return.

Sorry that this is up so late.  EqD decided to do things differently this week.

Post by: The Chronicler on February 22, 2014, 10:30:23 PM
I often like the CMC, and I consider Twilight Sparkle to be my favorite of the Mane 6, so I knew I was going to like this episode.

Right from the start, we can see that the CMC's "Twilight Time" of studying various things under Twilight has apparently been going on for some time already. That changes when (who else?) Diamond Tiara hears word of this. With Twilight now a princess, this means all the foals see her as a celebrity, which means they now suddenly regard the CMC just as highly, due to their connection to her. Clearly, this ultimately doesn't end well. At least Twilight was able to stay clam through the whole thing, though I can't say the same for Spike.

I really liked all those funny moments in the scene at that fast food restaurant (I forget the exact name they called it). Plus, not only is it a new location for Ponyville, but also Pinkie Pie apparently has a second job there.

Maybe it's to help pay for all those parties that she throws.  Though I guess with as many parties as she throws she likely can get everything at a wholesale price.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 24, 2014, 02:16:07 AM
I did quite enjoy this one.  I really can't say anything bad about it.

One thing the fans seem to be going a little crazy about is the return of Pip from Luna Eclipsed, who since got a new voice actor because his original was laid with the curse of puberty.  I'll have to listen to both of them side by side to give my full opinion on the new one, though.

Fans were also shocked with Dinky being part of the crowd that was rioting.  I guess Derpy needs to discipline her better.

Diamond Tiara still shows reasons for me to hate her with a passion.  Good to see that karma got her near the end. (Come on!  You CAN'T tell me that her being one of the ponies that get covered the most with applesauce wasn't karma. (I especially find the piece of apple on top of her a nice touch. :D ))

Fans also pointed out Featherweight being among the ponies that took pictures of Twilight at The Hayburger.  Guess there will be a segment on Princess Twilight off-screen. (Or maybe it'll be something spotted by the fans in the background. (Seriously, how do they notice this stuff!?))

I'm surprised that she has yet to figure out that she can make a business out of her parties.  Seriously, I thought that would be her main job by now.  Guess not! -_-

The episodes are on youtube, just look for the episodes by names.  

My thoughts of the episode I will just copy most of what I said in a post on another forum, a MLP:fim based one.  

If tightened up, though shorter, it would have improved the episode to me.  The best parts were the ending and after that the beginning with the middle being boring.  & it looks like Fluttershy doesn't remember the past lessons she has learned, not surprising in a show aimed at kids so characters have to keep relearning the same lessons.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on March 01, 2014, 10:20:15 PM
It was a rather okay episode. I did like a few certain things, like how the breezies seemed to speak in their own language with an Irish accent (or at least, that's how it sounds to me). At one moment, it was even implied that one of them said something profane. :lol:  I especially liked seeing the brief Doctor Who reference, where that certain stallion was wearing 3D glasses (I think it's the first time ever in the entire show such a reference was undeniably made). And, of course, Fluttershy had her "rainbow moment" in this episode, so that leaves only Applejack and Twilight Sparkle left to go.

Post by: Kor on March 01, 2014, 10:33:25 PM
I heard one person in the stream I watched who was in the call saying he thought the Twilight' key may be gotten in the last episode and Applejack's may be the flim/flam brothers episode.   Not sure if they are coming back or not.  Maybe just a speculation on his part.

Someone said the dr who reference was due to one episode the doctor wore 3d glasses to see cybermen or daleks, forgot which he said.

I did like a few interesting details, such as Applejack and Applebloom have a lot of spare hats and bows, respectively, and Equestria apparently has a little Cajun region somewhere. For the focus of the episode, looks like Applebloom never really did anything wrong; it's just Applejack went a little nuts about protecting her little sister. Out of the ponies we've seen go crazy so far in this show, we saw Pinkie Pie (Party of One), Twilight Sparkle (Lesson Zero), and Rarity (Simple Ways), and I think this episode is by far the closest we've seen Applejack do the same.

That's what someone in the call of the streaming episode said that I watched this morning, that this seemed to be him Applejack's going nuts episode.  It may be.  I liked it a bit better then last week's episode.  Though the joke about all the extra hats & bows wasn't funny to me.  To me it would make more sense if that closet had a bunch of farming tools all crammed into it.  

Not surprised they had a cajun area since it seems they have a lot of earth or stereotypical earth stuff that pops up on the show.  Wonder what the area where Big Mac went to was like.

Yes, that's how I feel about it.  It was a better and more interesting episode then the previous one.   I think the previous one would be better if they cut out 5 or 10 minutes around the middle part.  I think it could have been a pretty good 15 minute episode.     Some stories don't do well in the 20 minutes.  Some do better as 10 or 15 minute episodes, some need 40 or more minutes.

REVIEWS POST!

Like I said, you guys are getting a triple dose today!

First off, It Ain't Easy Being Breezie

For this episode, it wasn't bad.  I did find it enjoyable enough to keep my attention, but that's it.  A couple of things I did note for the episode.  One, the original Breezies were actually MUCH more vulnerable then the new ones.  For instance, the originals can't have water, nor can they be in the sun.  At all!

Second, during the episode, the fanbase was having a hard time believing Seabreeze was male.  However, I could tell just from the voice.  True, it's one thing you should not use to identify someone's gender, but if you look at ALL the cartoon characters that have that accent, you'll know they're male.  It's been tradition since cartoons got that lovely accent! :)

I will admit that the Mane Six turning into Breezies near the end was a nice touch, and we got to see what Seabreeze's deal was.  Apparently, he wanted to make sure he could get home to see his new born child.  For that, he can be appreciated.

At least we got Fluttershy's Key for the episode.

So, overall, good episode, but not great.

Next up, Somepony to watch over me

I'll say this now, I know the pain of not getting the privilege to be home alone.  Heck, my little sister got that privilege before I did!  It sucks!  However, I do not know the pain of having it taken away from you, so this was something I was looking forward to, and ended up being disappointed.

Even for being overprotective, Applejack was out of character.  Most of the stuff that happened to Applebloom was Applejack's fault.  It was painful to watch Applejack's overreacting side that was completely hypocritical to her character.  It did at least give us a great battle between Applejack and that chimera monster.  Still, that seems to be all I can really like for the episode.

In the end, it's just not that good.  A real low point for Season 4 here. :(

One thing I did note, during the stream, fans fell in love with all three CMCs having hairbows.  Too bad that Applejack's overprotective side killed all hope of seeing more of that through fanart for the week.  Oh well!

Finally, Maud Pie

After the last two disappointments, we at least got something better, but not by much.

What blew fans away right at the start was that Maud has Raven's voice.  Seriously, I won't be surprised if we got some "Maud with Raven's Powers" Fanart this week!

I can understand the fact that the other's outside of Pinkie had a hard time trying to become friends with Maud.  Such a personality can be a real mood killer.  I mean, in the end, you feel that she's just bored with even life itself.

Still, we got to see a side of her we did not expect.  She completely creamed Rainbow at the rock throwing contest.  Plus, the way Maud saved Pinkie Pie, I, and the rest of the stream I was at, was in total shock!  Yeah, Maud with Super Strength Fan Art coming this week.  No question asked! :)

In all, better than the last two, but we're still at a low point for the season.  I hope we get out of this soon.

Let's see, what's next?

Oh, Sweetie Belle ruining a costume for one of Rarity's clients out of anger.  That should get us out of the slump! :)

I'll be back with the YouTube Post!

See ya! :wave

I found the episode better then It's Not Easy Being Breazies and slightly better then last week's episode.  I do like the even tone of voice she did.  Not sure if she did the Raven voice or not, since the host in the stream I watched said it wasn't the person who did the raven voice.  I don't know.  I looked it up and Maud Pie was done by someone named     Ingrid Nilson.  No idea if she did Raven or not.  I watched an episode of Titans are go, couldn't stand the artwork.  I've heard there was another Teen Titans series but I've not seen that one.  

If it is not the same one who did Raven I wonder if the idea to imitate the Raven voice as closely as she could was her idea, or the director, or someone else.

Interesting that Maud did have powers, though we didn't see them till near the end of the episode.  Though ponies having powers may be common.  You may be able to pick any background pony and they'll have a power of some sort, or maybe a few.

SPOILERS AHEAD , skip this post if you haven't seen it yet. ;)


Gee, Maud, could you please keep down your enthusiasm? And..doesn't it hurt to smile like that nonstop? :D

I like Maud, because she is like she is. If I would know someone like this, I don't think we would be friends, but we would get along.
Also, if Pinkie's sister is any indication, her family must've been always supportive, no matter how different Pinkie is from them.

The episode was good too. That rock candy thing was slightly overdone, even for a cartoon, but the writing for Pinkie was excellent and got me to smile now and then.
...I like how Pinkie's mane shows her feelings. :D
The new backgrounds we got to see at the end were also great, I love it when new places are shown.

If I had to find one thing I disliked, that would be..hm...that house full of candy in the beginning, and that is somehow still okay, because Pinkie. There was nothing where I would say: Now what the heck were they thinking.

Overall I really liked the episode. Also Pinkie almost gave me a heart attack. If you watched it, you know why. :D

Thinking about it, Maud reminded me a bit of Daria, a cartoon character.  She had her own show that spun off from Beavis & Butthead.

Post by: The Chronicler on March 15, 2014, 08:32:43 PM
I had expected Maud to be duller than Pinkie, but I wasn't expecting her to be emotionless dull, but that actually helped this episode exceed my expectations. I liked how she said everything as it was with very few words, as well as when she stated that she was happy despite not showing it. Those two sisters are about as far apart in personality as you can possibly imagine, and yet they still love each other. Oh, and according to what was said on the train, Maud is older than Pinkie, so at least we know where they are in that detail.

Okay, so this will be the last time I can watch a live stream before work changes my schedule to make me unable to.  After that, I'll only be able to catch it on YouTube, Dailymotion or some other place.  Oh well!  The streams were fun while they lasted.

Anyways, for today's episode, Sweetie Belle purposefully destroys one of Rarity's dresses that's for an elite client.  I expect plenty of sisterly arguing over it! :)

interesting episode.  It was Sweetie Bell focused.   Nice that Luna appeared in the episode.  I can see how Sweetie Bell felt like she did, considering her age.  Though what she did was very bad.

REVIEW POST!

I find myself quite pleased with the episode.  Sweetie Belle became understandably upset when Rarity's dresses took all the attention away from the play she worked so hard on.  Yet, to go as far as purposefully removing a vital piece that kept the headdress together, I find quite shocking.  Sweetie Belle must have some deep wounds to go that far.

It is nice to see that Luna went as far as she did to help Sweetie Belle correct her mistake.  However, I do hope that just her appearing is not the main reason the fans like the episode.  It has a good story, a good lesson and it's VERY well done.  It deserves praise for far more than just Luna appearing, and I hope the fans know it.

Let's see, what's next?

Oh, the return of the Flim-Flam Brothers!  Let's see how Applejack handles it! :)

I'll post the online post soon!

Quite a nice episode. I like how Luna relates to Sweetie Belle by mentioning her past jealousy as a younger sister (we already know how that ended) and that Sweetie should not go down the same path. Also interesting is how the dream sequence focuses on the past (Sweetie's 5th birthday party) present (Sweetie sabotaging the headdress) and future (a very dark take on how Rarity could fall from grace), kind of like the classic story, A Christmas Carol. I say that's yet another sign of how popular this show is to make a reference like that. :)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: RockingScorpion on March 24, 2014, 09:40:38 AM
I always liked stories involving dreams, and I really love what Luna is doing with her abilities.

I think the CMC are really progressing as characters lately. Sweetie Belle mastering her magic and things like that. I hope that in some episode they will get their cutie marks.

Also this (http://s7.directupload.net/images/140324/kmtr79ik.jpg). Seems I have something in common with Sapphire Shores. :D
I always wondered if dolphins would ever appear and how they would look like. My own interpretation (http://fav.me/d74dl0d) was more realistic, but I like them this way, too.

My guess would be opening the chest, some crisis they have to use the rainbow power thing.  The Brony Show has showed some sort of rainbow power figures.   Don't recall where they are, what country.   They also mentioned something about a rainbow country or empire being mentioned.

Wonder if  Flim & Flam will go to Ponyville again, or if word of what they did will spread.  I was also wondering while I was watching the episode why didn't Applejack take a bottle for Twilight or Zecora to analyze to figure out the ingredients.  I'm sure one of those 2 could have figured out the ingredients.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on March 29, 2014, 08:00:15 PM
As I had expected, Applejack got her "key item" in this episode, but what I had not expected was that she got it from a new character (whose name I can't remember). I guess Flim & Flam will never learn their lesson.

Somewhat predictably, the tonic really had no special ingredients at all (just apples and beat leaves), and it was actually just a placebo effect. It's only when Granny Smith clearly tries to push her luck way too far that Applejack finally decides to reveal the truth.

Put simply, the concept was predictable, but there were a few surprises here and there, so it was a rather modest episode.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 29, 2014, 10:25:12 PM
This is one where I really can't say much.  It was enjoyable, but I didn't like it nor did I hate it.  It's kind of that weird middle ground for me. -_-

Anyways, I like how they went with the placebo effect for the so called "cure-all tonic", because that's the ONLY way it would've worked.  I actually don't find it surprising that Applejack's Rainbow Item didn't come from Flim and Flam.  To be honest, I don't have ANY hope of them learning their lesson.

So, all that's left is Twilight's Rainbow Item.  Any takers as to when that will come?

It seems that the item comes when the episode is focused on them and their element comes into play.  Seeing as how the next 3 don't focus on Twilight, it's down to the last two episodes.  So, a last minute thing?  Don't know how to feel about that.

So, next time is...

Rainbow Dash doing yet another thing to get into the Wonderbolts.  She has to take a History test!

Oh boy!  Always hated history.  I wonder if Dash shares my feelings. :)

That's all from me!

Post by: The Chronicler on April 05, 2014, 08:30:15 PM
I can easily see this episode being a favorite among many fans. I liked how Rainbow Dash wasn't worried at all about the test, but then did a complete 180 after completely failing a pop quiz from Twilight. Even better is how everyone seemed to have their own different method of studying, but the only one that worked was the one that was actually best suited for someone like Dash: multitasking while flying. Considering this is a show meant for kids, the lesson of this episode could definitely be a good one.

By the way, has anyone here seen the two-minute Equestria Girls shorts that have been appearing lately? There's been two of them so far (yes, they are official), and from what I've seen, I am definitely looking forward to the next Equestria Girls movie later this year.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on April 05, 2014, 10:16:11 PM
Overall I liked the episode, though I didn't like how Rainbow Dash was able to learn so much in one short flight.   Could have been a bigger lesson if she had kept up thinking she'd ace the test and not study, fail.  Then have the person tel her she can try again next year, then have these different learning methods tried.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on April 06, 2014, 02:11:29 AM
One thing I won't forget for the latest episode is "Pinkie the Rapper"!  She keeps either finding a good way to surprise me or a bad one.  This is one of the good ones.

Anyways, I actually feel with Dash on this one.  I hate history to the point where I see it as being a useless subject.  As such, it is no surprise that I would do just as bad as she did at the pop quiz part.

I was quite surprised by how well she was able to remember everything just from flying around.  She was definitely born to be the best flyer ever!  There is no doubt about that! :)

So, the next episode won't be for two weeks.  So, we take a break for now.

Until next time, see ya! :wave

REVIEW POST!

Okay!  This episode... it's a good episode, but not a great one.  The crazy exchanging that Rainbow and Fluttershy went through just for one book was hilarious at times. (Loved the Discord reference involved.) Though I think the one who had the book was trolling them originally.

Rarity and Applejack's argument between what's vintage and what's not.  Yeah, they show just how polar opposite the two are and yet can still be friends.  It's kind of amazing, to be honest.

Then there was Pinkie who was trying to find fair trades for Twilight's books.  I really don't know what to say about that.  Pinkie's fault of opening her mouth when she shouldn't shines through here.  That's either going to be hit or miss for ya!  Trust me on that!

So yeah!  Good episode, but not great.  Still enjoyable though!

Next week, Rarity gets inspiration block and Spike tries to fix it with a spell.  This ends up making both good and bad things come from it.

Yeah... this could be good.

Anyways, I'll put up the YouTube link later today!

I'd say I liked it overall.  Though some parts I did not.  The Pinkie scenes i really didn't.  The quest line of what Rainbowdash needed to get reminded me of some quests in some games.  Annoying to have to go through them.  Surprised folks finally noticed Twilight is a princess, when so many never noticed, like in Rarity Takes Manhatten.  Though some of those episodes feel more like their scripts were written in season 3 before they know hasbro dictated they would have only 13 episodes so they held them over to season 4, and didn't fix that bit where Twilight is now a princess and folks would notice.

I found this episode to be like "Castle-Mania" (third episode of this season) in that it focuses on the entire main six in three separate groups. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had to go through a chain of trades, Applejack and Rarity can afford only one item and can't decide who should get it, and Pinkie Pie just makes Twilight feel even more uncomfortable than she already is. Speaking of which, I guess it seems that ponies praise or even acknowledge Twilight as a princess only when it is explicitly stated (referred to as princess Twilight in "Twilight Time", and in this episode as the princess assigned as this year's judge of the trader's exchange). Also, I'm pretty sure this episode had a lot of various things going on in the background, which is sometimes rather amusing.

Four episodes left to go, over the next three weeks.

Post by: Kor on April 20, 2014, 03:10:35 PM
One benefit of the group being split into 2 or 3 is the story arc for each one is short, and easier to write.  Same as on some tv shows like Star Trek: Next Gen where they have 2 stories in each episode.  Instead of 1 story arc they have to write for a 21 minute episode, with 3 story arcs.  That could make a script easier to write.  Also it gives each pair a decent amount of screen time rather then switching around among the 6 during a scene.

Okay, before I begin, I want to say that today and next week, due to early work schedules, I won't be able to watch the newest episodes live and will have to wait until after work to watch them.  I'll make sure to at least give my thoughts on the episodes. :)

Anyways, for today's episode, Rarity struggles to come up with a new idea for her dresses.  Spike decides to fix it with a spell that results in both good and bad ideas.  Gee, how bad could it get? :D

A rather interesting episode. Spike sure can be quite naive. Good thing he eventually realized the mistake he made and put a stop to it. Also nice to see that pet owl (I'm not even gonna bother trying to spell his name) having a somewhat significant role. Finally, we got another mention of dark magic (in this case, a spell that gradually takes over Rarity, making her completely insane). Makes me curious about what else could be out there.

Just three episodes left to go, over the next two weeks.

REVIEW POST!!

Take it from someone who has noticed it too well.  It is difficult to admit when you've done something wrong for the one you love, especially when it makes them happy.  As such, I don't find it surprising that Spike had difficulty telling Rarity the truth of how bad she was making things.  It's no surprise to me that it took a breaking point for him to do the one thing needed to break the spell.

Overall, I did enjoy it, but it's not one of the greats of this season.  Still, it was good for what we got.

Next up, it's the Equestria Games, and Spike gets to light the torch, but he's too nervous to do so!  He takes drastic action to prove he is as brave as he says he is.  I'm calling it, Twilight won't get her key here! (Sorry fans, but it's NOT happening until the last episode.)

I have one last thing to post, so give me just a second here!

It's the knee-jerk first reaction posts that you are seeing.  Basically just first impressions on the first thing you notice, and let's face it, it's the way the character looks that is the first thing you notice of them.  I don't consider those REAL reviews as they have yet to explore the main core of it.

I just simply ignore first impressions of such things these days. :)

Quite an interesting episode. Looks like Spike's role in saving the Crystal Empire back at the beginning of season 3 has had quite an impact on how the crystal ponies see him: practically as great and "brave" as any of the princesses. Being placed on such a high pedestal, it's no wonder he freaked out at the torch lighting. Despite some further humiliation, at least he was able to eventually get over his fears of being a disappointment.

Season finale next week. Can't wait to see it.

2 episodes with Spike as the main or one of the main characters, nice.

I hope the season finale is well written.  Any plans on what you'll do once it's over?  I plan on going back to season 1 where I left off and watch 1 episode a week till season 5 starts.  So I'll start with season 1 episode 4.

Yeah, it's nice to have some episodes for Spike every once in awhile, and I rather liked this one.

As for plans after the season is over, I plan on watching Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, which airs on CN on May 27th, 2014.

And I too am looking forward to the season final, as well.

REVIEW POST!

It's no surprise to me that Spike is seen as a hero at the Crystal Empire.  The stage fright he got does seem natural. (And that pony I shall not name next to him wasn't helping matters.) It was a good episode, but if I can make one complaint, the final game, Ice Archery, feels like a forced way to make Spike have his big moment needed to get over his fears.  Otherwise, I felt this was a good episode.

Next up, the two-parter season finale!  It's time for Twilight to get her great lesson that will lead to her key and finally opening that chest.  It includes a new villain, Discord and a desperate magic transferal from the Princesses to Twilight to save all of Equestria!

Too bad I'll miss it at air time due to work!  Oh well! -_-

Now that is an episode worthy of being called "epic".

I don't think I need to explain the kind of villain we got here. It was incredible that he managed to trick Discord into joining his side, and then back-stabbed him when it was too late to do anything about it.

I was a little surprised that Twilight didn't get her key item until virtually the last possible moment, and from Discord of all people. At least the lesson behind it seemed to make sense.

Also, looks like this season is another end with a big change, but this time it's not to someone, but rather to a place. Considering how things went with the end of season 3 and beginning of season 4, I'm going to assume we'll have to wait until the premier of season 5 to find out how the existence of that new castle will affect life in Ponyville. (Speaking of that castle, I'm quite pleased to see it has a place for all of the Main 6 and not just Princess Twilight.)

This season was the first one I had followed, week by week, and I enjoyed the experience. (On the other hand, I'm glad that I'll now have time on the weekends to do other things.)

REVIEW POST!

THAT! WAS! AWESOME!! :D

Tirek was an awesome villain.  Truly one of the best, not just from the show, but from ANY show, period.  He was quite the manipulator when he talked with Discord.  On top of that, he had a really good back story that really works for one who is obsessed with stealing magic. He was just dripping with evil.  I loved every minute he had the spotlight.

Also, not one bit surprised he betrayed Discord and stole his magic.  I would've been surprised if it didn't happen.

Discord being the one to give the final key, that was a bit unexpected.  Then again, he is the one who is learning the most about what friendship really means.  For Twilight to still see him as a friend and give up her magic for him, the one who betrayed them, it kind of makes sense it was him who would have the last key.  He benefited the most from this selfless act Twilight did.

The fight between Tirek and Powered-up-Twilight was full of Special Effect Awesomeness!  I was so pumped when I saw her dishing it out against him.

The Rainbow Forms the Mane Six got were pretty amazing.  Not to mention that I liked the fight at the end.

As for the plot itself... I can't hate it.  To be honest, any hatred towards it would be petty.  I would defend it to the end.

Seriously, one of the best of the series and a great way to end this Season.

That's it for this season.  Now we wait for the 5th one.

See ya later! :wave

It's been a while since I last commented on this topic. Well, I watch the season finale, and I have to say that I am VERY surprsed that Tirek came back to be the villain. There's a villain I never thought MLP canon was ever going to see again, and yet there he was. The plot, the characterization, and everything was near perfect. I loved it. This IS the show I fell in love with in 2010.

Post by: Malte279 on October 03, 2014, 07:50:00 AM
I did start watching the MLP series this August and I must say that I changed my opinion with regard to being totally not interested in the franchise which I stated several times before.
It was true then and my disinterest had then been based partly on me having watched two randomly picked episodes which torn out of context (and being rather Pinky Pie respectively cutie mark crusaders focused without the introduction of the characters I would have been given had I just started from the beginning) didn't come across as interesting to me.
However, having started watching the episodes in August (partly because there was just nothing else to do at the time) I must say I'm glad I have. I'm not a Brony nor am I likely to develope the same degree of enthusiasm for the franchise as many of you, but the plots and characters are a lot more interesting than I had (with a degree of bias) expected.
I'll take it as a lecture (letter to Celestia? :p) to give something a bit more of a benefit of doubt and to begin with the beginning rather than some randomly picked episode when making up my opinion about a franchise.
In one respect however I'm glad I didn't change my mind any earlier. I am really enjoying good stories and when I am getting familiar with a new franchise that I like I tend to make up own stories at least for a while after getting to know it and this making up of stories is something I enjoy very much (though it has been a long time since I ever put any of them down on paper). These days it comes as a very welcome distraction at times. For this I'm grateful.

Well then Malte279, even if you're not calling yourself a brony, I'll say it:

Welcome to the herd. :D

Actually, I'm not using the word brony for myself as well. I'm just a fan who doesn't need any fancy word for being one, that's all. I'm fan of a lot of stuff, MLP being just one of them.

Anyway...you have any favourite character so far?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Malte279 on October 04, 2014, 03:44:13 PM
Same as with characters from LBT (or most other things in the world for that matter) I have a very hard time to name one favorite thereby demoting all the others. I am not much of a fan of superlatives ;)
I guess from my own attitutes (devouring books and being utterly obsessed with history) I can best relate to Twilight. With regard to social interaction I guess it would depend very much on the situation and the people I'm talking to; if the context was ignored I daresay it would be the oddest imaginable mixture of attitutes of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash imaginable :lol
I also like Applejack's straightforward manner.
While I may not relate to as much to Pinkie Pie (my own brand of humor tends to be more macabre (and would probably come across as dislikable if there was a character with that kind of humor) while I don't have a very developed "sense of randomness") and Rarity (probably not quite oblivious to taste in fashion but not really giving it much thought) it is not like I disliked them. They do add a lot to the stories where they feature and are often good for a very good laugh.
Apart from the main characters there are also side characters who I would like to see elaborated a little more. Having been banned for 1000 years by her sister is quite something. I would like to see more about the whole background and reintegration of Luna.
I haven't yet seen all episodes however (and am kind of delaying there lest I run out of something new to watch too soon). I think I got to episode 74 so far.

Do you have favorite characters?

Okay Malte, I really want to know where you stand on one certain issue that I know the whole fandom is split on. (Even a number of the haters putting lies and misconceptions on it.) The issue is as follows...

Twilight becoming a princess.  Where do you stand on it?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Malte279 on October 04, 2014, 04:29:13 PM
Can't really claim an opinion on it.
I was mildly surprised when I saw the respective episode, but not much since I recalled having read something refering to it in this very thread at some point.
I was a bit worried that there might be some risk of things getting kitschy and "princessy" (in a world without kings or queens because princess is apparently supposed to sound kinder). However from what I have seen so far (and again I haven't seen all episodes so far) there hasn't been much of a change. Twilight comes with wings now, but I don't recall seeing her fly in any but the first two episodes after she got said wings. It is not like her character changed from it nor did the attitute of the others towards her. In most of the episodes I have seen so far there weren't any really visible changes or responsibility linked to her being a princess (of what exactly?).
With the concerns mentioned above I could imagine some plot lines in which this could be interesting if any actual "duties" linked to the rank of a princess might collide with the interests of friendship.
So basically I don't have an actual pro or con opinion based on what I have seen so far. Up to what I have seen so far the changes didn't really manifest into much and I can understand both, those who would want to see more actual consequences of that development and those who see the risk of such a change messing up the setting they / we are accustomed to.
So far the eppisodes seriously haven't given me much to get aggitated about, but same as LBT it remains but a franchise of enjoyable stories. While I may have strong opinions on some matters related to movies (cough... LBT 10 cough) I wouldn't mind the opinions of other differing from mine. I'm pretty sure that there would be some letters to Celestia that would discredit the attitutes of any fans of the franchise who were attacking either fans of different opinions, or people who didn't like the franchise altogether.

I saw the movie Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks today.  How was it?  Let me put it this way...

If the original Equestria Girls movie is the good version of all three High School Musical movies, Rainbow Rocks is an awesome version of a sequel to it.  So yes, I very much enjoyed it.

Oh, and if you're wondering how they did with Sunset Shimmer, just know that the entire school has yet to let go of what she did last time.  Yeah, pretty much no one has forgiven her at that school. (Save, of course, for the human counterparts of Twilight's friends.)

Oh, and yes, Twilight and the human version of Flash Sentry still have feelings for each other.  I really don't think it's going away anytime soon.

Anyways, go and see this.  You won't regret it.  Plus, stay for after the credits.  There's a little surprise for everyone. ;)

See ya later! :wave

What is your own view on the matter you asked about John?
One of the best joys I got from the haters was just how wrong their beliefs were.  The main thing is that they say that this revelation came from out of nowhere.  Except, it didn't.  There were hints on the show that it was planned that Twilight would eventually become a princess from the very first episode.

Let me ask you one question, do you expect ANY student of royalty to not get some kind of life changing reward in their life?  Heck, with the evidence that there is no known child of Celestia, I wouldn't have been surprised if Twilight was the planned heir to the throne.  Oh, and why did Twilight get a crown when her element appeared, while the rest of her friends got a necklace of sorts?  Yeah, not too subtle there, writers.

However, overtime, it has been shown that being a princess in Equestria is more of being proven that you deserve to rule.  That you have the traits needed to carry out such a responsibility, and if you ask me, Twilight Sparkle has definitely earned that.

There is no doubt in my mind that Twilight deserves that title more than anyone.  Even if it was planned, she earned it in the end.

So yeah, I wasn't surprised, because I saw it coming from the beginning, and I take joy in just how wrong the haters are in this.

Post by: Kor on October 05, 2014, 03:19:45 PM
I don't really have a single favorite character.  I do have some I like more then others like Spike, Twilight Sparkle, and a few based on how well they are written since I think some characters are not handled as well with some writers as they are with other writers.  Rainbow Dash & Applejack.  

Though I think Pinkie, Rarity, & Fluttershy are not handled with as well with some writers as they are with others.

I've not thought about plot lines, though endings do seem to be pretty abrupt, like the writers, or some writers, are not good at writing endings, or are not use to writing 22 minute episodes and overly rush through the ending.  

Some thing I'd like to see.  Like I agree the party that we only see the beginning to in season 1's 2nd episode may have been an interesting party to see onscreen.

I wasn't arguing anything. I am not so much into the franchise that I would take any interest at all into battles among the fans.
The content and opinions of (not declarations of war among) fans are what interests me. I am curious for everyone's views. I am not interested in whatever battles may be going on outside the GOF among fans (outside they shall remain).
But what is your opinion on the plot (rather than about the opinions of others on the plot) WR? :)

I wasn't referring to you. I was surprised to hear that some fans are still arguing about Twilight becoming a princess after all this time.

My opinion of is: it's fine with me. I always had an inkling that big things were in store for Twilight from the beginning. In fact, one of my earliest theories was that she'd become an alicorn as well. It was the name that tipped me off. Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Twilight. I caught the theme.

Yes, and some of the haters have gotten pretty bad. (Trust me, you don't want to know how bad it got at one forum.) I'd say that the only other thing that's just as hotly debated, if not more, is Twilight's love interest.

So far (last episode I watched is 75 (the one in which Rainbow Dash has to choose between the Wonderbolts and the flight team from Ponyville)) the transformation of Twilight doesn't seem to have caused much of a change however. She got wings now (which she hardly ever used since the first two episodes following the transformation) but the princess part doesn't seem to come with any change of obligation or scenery.
I'm not complaining about that (I'm quite okay with the way the episodes are while not opposed to every change they might decide to make), but given what I have seen so far the direct impact of the transformation has been a small one (I sure am glad though that Twilight insisted on her friends not calling her "princess"; everything else would have sounded kind of awkward to me :lol).
I want to avoid spoilers, but are there episodes to come in which the transformation of Twillight will play a really important role?

I'd say to not expect anything of Twilight's Role as Princess to come into play until at least the second half of Season 4.  Even then, don't expect anything too big.  At least, not until the very end. :)

I just have one question to ask you, WR, and I want you to be brutally honest with me.

Were you set to hate the first movie before you even saw it?  Was there something that made you believe you were going to hate it no matter how good it was?

I'll give my thoughts after you answer me this one question I want answered.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Malte279 on October 13, 2014, 01:26:10 AM
I don't think there was any talk about hatred there John. WR said that he would see of the other MLP movies (I didn't see any of them so far either) when they actually included the pony version of the main characters.
That is not hatred.
Even if someone wrote that he or she hated the movies, that would still be an opinion everyone is entitled to have (so long he or she doesn't keep ramming it down everybodies throats).
Let everybody watch the movie if he or she wants to and allow them not to watch them without being declared "haters" (or something along the lines) if they don't want to.
That's all the "brutal honesty" needed on this matter.

I agree Kor. The banishment of one sister for 1000 years is a rather important point that could be explored further (same as her reformation back). They (or the fans) do have a lot of material for future stories.

Oh, I do hate Equestria Girls, Malte. I'd hate the Equestria Girls movies even if they were as brilliant as Hamlet. I hate the philosophy behind their creation, I hate the artstyle, and I hate, hate that they don't give us a movie about the characters from the show in the show's setting. There are all kinds of awesome things they COULD be doing with Equestria for a full length feature, but no, they'd rather force us to sit through tired high school cliches that were out of style before the 90s began. It's almost like Hasbro doesn't have enough faith to seriously try to expand on their product (or they're too ashamed to). Equestria Girls can go to hell.

As unbelievably bad as the original 1986 My Little Pony movie for G1 was, at least it was about the ponies in the setting that was created for the series.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 13, 2014, 02:04:12 AM
WR, I get where you are coming from.  "A My Little Pony Movie that has hardly any pony in it?  Are you serious?" Yeah, and it can be difficult to get over that hurdle, especially when it's called "My Little Pony".  I get it.  Heck, I admit to being skeptical myself when I found out it would be centered in another dimension and none of the characters would be pony to begin with.  Plus, it was a high school setting and those haven't been looking good lately.

Still, was there ANYTHING that you liked about it?  Anything at all?  Just name it, no matter how much you hated the movie.

Also, how do you fell they could have done this kind of story better, if at all?  What improvements could they make on it as a whole?

I hate Equestria Girls as well.  I don't like what Hasbro has been doing with the series anyway.  It seems all they're concerned about is selling their toys.  They're not selling well.  Gee, I wonder why?  Have you people seen them?  They're almost as bad as the G1-G3 pony toys.  But instead of redesigning them, Hasbro keeps changing the show.  

Oh, it needs a wedding!  Girls LOVE weddings and pretending to get married!  Let's pull Twilight's brother out of NOWHERE and make him get married so we can make a wedding set!  Oops, that didn't work.  I know!  Another princess!  Let's make Twilight a princess!  Oops.  That didn't do too well.  I know!  Girls don't like the toys because they're not human!  Let's make the ponies humanized.  That will do it!  

Ironically I'm sure making the humanized ponies made them sell better because parents not in the know are more likely to buy a "doll" for their little girl than a pony.  Most parents nowadays don't even know what their kids are watching or what their kids like.  They're just too busy.  But a big purple doll?  For only $12?  That will work.  And honestly, they're made better than the pony toys.  Pathetic.

Many other companies have made some awesome pony toys and figurines.  Heck, even the McDonalds toys were better than what Hasbro came up with.  I just hope they're done f*cking with the series to try to make their HORRIBLE toys sell.  So far the writers have been EXCELLENT at covering up the blunders of the higher-ups, but eventually they will fail.  Now we have weird colored ponies because I'm sure Hasbro was thinking that the toys just didn't stand out enough.  So they took the already horrible toys and made them horrendously colored in the hopes that will make them sell better.  Honestly, the stupidity of large companies still amazes me.

@pokeplayer: It had the voice talents from the TV show. That was the only thing I appreciated about Equestria Girls.

@landbeforetimelower: Well, my opinion of the recent events of the show and the toys isn't quite that negative, but yeah, you make good points. Personally, I never understood why Shining Armor wasn't just a pegasus and Rainbow Dash's brother. We don't know ANYTHING about her family so Hasbro could have given her a previous unknown brother a lot more easily than they did with Twilight.

Post by: Malte279 on October 13, 2014, 05:21:50 PM
I suppose once I reach the end of the series (I'm not hurrying to reach the last episodes so far unwatched) I'm going to take a look at the spin-off and make up my mind.
You are correct in pointing out that we know nothing about Rainbow Dash's family WR. The same goes for the family of Fluttershy and (with the exception of Sweetie Bell) Rarity.
In that respect MLP partly stuck with the old cartoon rule that parents don't exist. Only siblings, aunts and uncles and if there are any parents after all at least one of them is bound to get killed ;)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Kor on October 13, 2014, 05:28:06 PM
Though Rarity's parents did appear in one scene of an episode.  And in a flashback of Rainbow Dash we do see her on the back of someone who could have been her dad.  but most of the main 6 we know nothing of their parents, maybe see glimpses of them, some or most never talk or have official names, as far as I know.    It's very much like all of them moved far away from their families and for the most part, except for one of Pinkie's sisters, their families never come to visit them.  Except that Sweetie Belle and their parents may live close enough to keep having Rarity babysit for Sweetie Belle at her house while I guess they go in trips for fun or business trips maybe.

I remember many in the fandom were not happy with Twilight's brother appearing from nowhere, not even being mentioned before, and a foal sitter who also wasn't in any of twlight's flashbacks, as her brother wasn't either.

Hey, I'm not saying I don't like the show.  I LOVE the show!  But these terrible decisions from the higher ups might end up ruining things.  I wouldn't be a happy camper if they ended up making the show a cheesy excuse to sell toys (which was basically what G1 - G3 was) with new characters popping out of nowhere and crazy stuff happening just so they can make a new toy out of it.  Frankly MLP was only as popular as it was back then because of the criminal lack of girls cartoons back in the 80's and early 90's.  If they released that smoking pile of crap today, it would most certainly fail.  No offense to any fans of the G1 - G3 shows (if there are any), but if you're a fan, you're definitely in the minority.  Not that there's anything wrong with that of course.  I'm just sayin'.

Don't know if I can convince you to give the second one a chance.  It is an improvement over the first.  Plus, there is a scene where they make fun of certain parts of the first movie.  Much to Sunset Shimmer's embarrassment.  I'll let you choose just based on that information.

I stance remains the same. I will go to one of these G4 Pony films when they take place in Equestria and feature the characters we know and love from the show, and not just some cheap humanized counterparts. I am not budging on this.

I agree, landbeforetimelover. I hope the show doesn't jump the shark anytime soon. It's been doing so well despite the high ups at Hasbro.

I watched Equestria Girls and even have it stored on my computer.  But I really disliked it.  It was your typical, cheesy, cliche show with high school concepts that haven't been a reality since the 70's.  And worse yet, they took the characters and bastardized them into these weird....things.  Applejack isn't really Applejack if you deform her into this weird human/hybrid thing.  She loses her spark, what makes her who she truly is.  Your body is...well....you.  If you change your body, especially into something TOTALLY different that kind of resembles the old body, it ends up being really weird and awkward.  No thanks.

LIVE STREAM POST!

Here we go!  It is time to start the (insane?) posting and updating of this first TV airing!  Before I begin, note that if you miss it today, you can still catch it tomorrow.

First up is, CinemaQuestria (http://www.cinemaquestria.com/) who will be doing a mini-marathon before and after the movie.  This marathon will also include the uncut version of the original Equestria Girls! (When it aired on TV, Hub cut out two songs due to time restraints and removed Derpy due to the "Derpy Fiasco" still going on at the time.) For those not interested in that, they've got Legend of Korra, Freakazoid and Pinky & the Brain before the movie airings and Pokemon: Origins! and Anime Night: Attack on Titan after the movie.

I'll update this if/as more come in. :)

See ya later! :wave

There is one thing about the world of MLP I'm kind of wondering about and am not sure if the topic has been discussed anywhere else.

While the concept of aging and mortality does exist in the world of equestria the princesses Celestia and Luna and Discord are apparently immortal (seeing that Luna had been banned for 1000 years and neither her nor Celestia nor the even previously petrified Discored have gotten any older since) and with near godlike powers (though neither omniscient nor omnipotent). Now I'm kind of wondering if the promotion to princesses of Cadence (we never really learn about how she became a princess or if she was born as one) and Twilight does include that kind of immortality.
If it did it would imply an extremely tragic future for Twilight if she was to live forever to see all her non royal friends age and die. Even if Twilight is spared immortality it would remain a very harsh burden on Celestia and Luna (who knows how many they have seen to whom they had established similar friendships as with Twilight just to see them age and pass on) :unsure:

Post by: Kor on October 17, 2014, 02:36:51 PM
I think some have asked the writing staff on the show, or the higher ups and I read that they said that Twilight will not outlive her friends.  I guess that an alicorn like Cadance or Twilight may have to evolve another stage.  We did see 1 scene where Cadance's mane flowed like Celestia & Luna's for a second or 2 then went back to normal, then later on Twlight's flowed for a second or so before her mane went back to normal.

Generally speaking, immortals would develop a different mentality than mortals. They would become more able to cope with the vagaries of life, including death, as time goes by. They would understand existence on a much deeper and more serious level. That doesn't preclude them from truly enjoying spending time with others, anymore than it precludes experienced adults from finding joy in the much less experienced children.

Well, since I had watched the Rainbow Rocks Movie in theaters, I did NOT watch the TV Version.  However, here's what I got from the comments of those that did watch it.  As expected with ANY movie, the end credits were shoved into an unreadable box and silenced in favor of advertisements.  It's something I've come to expect these days. <_<

On top of that, the scene AFTER the credits was removed as well.  It's quite an interesting reveal and could make for an interesting story if a third movie is made and it revolves around that idea.

There were other scenes cut out, especially one that I can't help but feel that it would only help people begin to actually like something about Flash Sentry.  Oh well! -_-

So yeah!  Looks like we'll have to wait for the DVD/Blu-ray version of the movie to see those cut scenes again.

Well that's all for now.  See ya later! :wave

Now, for those wondering why I didn't do a Video Link Post for the movie, here's why.

1) Hasbro is a little too vigilant this time around.  When the first link came up, they were quick to axe it.  It only took them less than an hour to remove it.  It's getting a bit too difficult to keep a YouTube link this time around.

2) It is not the uncut HD version that people are posting.  From what I have gathered, there are too many important scenes being removed in favor of a small time slot.  As such, I shall wait until the DVD/Blu-ray release before I post a link for it.

So yeah, those are my reasons.  Hope you all can wait. :)

Anyways, it has been announced that another movie for My Little Pony will come out in 2017.

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/my-l...ength-film.html (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/10/my-little-pony-feature-length-film.html)

There is no known plot yet, but it does have the writer behind Twilight's Kingdom for it, so I feel that is a plus. :)

We'll see how it goes.

That's all for now.  See ya later! :wave

Get ready for the comic form of...

The Sonata plush looks like it did turn out very well indeed.  I think the included taco looks cute.

There is an actual MLP movie that's supposed to come out in 2017.

I will say that an Equestria Girls 3 could be interesting if the actual human Twilight is introduced. As far the 100th episode goes, however, I'm a bit torn about it. On the one hand, it could provide some interesting characterization and possibly tons of butthurt(imagine how angry bronies might get when it turns out DJ Pon 3 isn't into dubstep or Lyra doesn't have a fetish for humans). On the other hand though, it could also be the ultimate in fan pandering. Do little kids even know or care who characters like Derpy or Bon Bon are? I do hope that it is a good episode nonetheless. I just don't want to see this show become The Brony Quarter Hour.

It could end up being like that one episode of The Simpsons that focused on the side characters and their everyday lives. So maybe we'll have one part that focuses on, say Derpy then another part that focuses on another background pony like Vinyl, Lyra, etc.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: WeirdRaptor on December 27, 2014, 12:10:24 AM
Still not interested. They're not why I watch this show. The creators can give A episode to the background ponies, but the 100th episode milestone had BETTER be dedicated to the six mares who made this series what it is.
Imagine if the 50 Year Anniversary of Doctor Who wasn't about The Doctor. What would be the point? The same goes for any other series milestone of any show. Milestones should be focused on the main characters.
It's the same for the 100th episode of FIM. What is even the point if it ignores Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy? They're the main characters. I repeat, milestones should be about them. The 100th episode can be so good that it causes world peace, and I still won't watch it if they're not the focus.

Yesterday, I was finally able to watch Rainbow Rocks. Although the transcripts and galleries on the MLP wiki provided substantial details, I was still missing out on the audio details, and considering that this movie is practically a musical, that's quite a big deal (there is a huge difference between listening to the songs and just reading the lyrics). Now that I've finally gotten the full experience, I can now see why this movie is so well liked (with some people even calling it better than the first Equestria Girls movie).

On that subject, I'd like to mention that I've now started writing the sequel to my fanfiction, LEGO Equestria Girls. (I'm still interested in hearing if anyone here has read it yet. There's a link in a topic I posted in the Written Word section a while ago.)

The odds of that happening are virtually impossible, I'm afraid. Keep in mind that Hasbro and Lego are rival toy companies. I think I mentioned this earlier in this topic, but there was once a fan idea on a Lego site for a My Little Pony theme, and although it received enough votes to be up for review, the approval ultimately failed due to the impossibility of the necessary licensing deal.

It is only with fan projects that we will ever see such a crossover. (I'm honestly still surprised that apparently no one before me had ever thought of writing a fanfiction for such a crossover, and considering how big both fandoms are, that's saying something.)

I'm guessing you're going to wait until you've completely finished writing it before you post it online. That's okay, I've seen a few people on fimfiction.net do that as well. Anyway, lbtlover is right that that site is a great place to upload any MLP fanfiction, so long as you don't mind getting lots of replies. Depending on what it'll be about, I might be interested in reading it, too. (Though I'm willing to wait until it's online for all to see, as I've already got plenty of fanfiction stuff to keep me busy for quite a while. Not only am I writing the sequel to my already-mentioned Lego crossover (over 100,000 words and modestly popular), but also the number of stories on the "Read it Later" list of my account is currently up to nearly 1200 (and at this point, I have doubts I'll even get around to reading much of that anytime soon).)

Hi Chronicler,

As for the comic cover, there is one comic featuring (among other) Rarity and Babs, but the cover sure doesn't look like it was refering to that story which doesn't feature skating while Trixie plays too important a role not to be included in that comic's cover.

It is not the wish to finish the story first that keeps me from posting it online. I don't have any idea how long it might become in the end. I am of course quite interested in responses and feedback and I am very grateful to Rocking Scorpion for giving me some (while at the same time I am extremely lazy when it comes to fanfiction reading).
The story plays not long after the first two episodes of the third season (so Twilight is an Alicorn in the story and still somewhat trying to get to terms with that). The story features one character who is studying "cutie marks". Given the extreme effects cutie marks seem to have on ponies (to the point of allowing to what degree free will can be surpressed by cutie marks), and the differences between cutie marks (e.g. some being extremely specific while some offer a huge range of possible interpretations and some resisting a clear interpretation altogether), the many open questions (adult blank flanks? Anypony feeling utterly unhappy with the own cutie mark? Anypony having no clue at all about the meaning of the own cutie mark? Cutie marks for illegal talents?) allow for quite a few interesting scenarios. I don't want to give many spoilers. In any case I think there are some laughs and surprises in it so far.
If anyone would like to read the story (yesterday I wrote a scene involving Discord) I'd be happy to send it to you via skype.

Equestria Daily is some sort of a digital journal for pony-related aspects. It was one of the first pony-related sites out there, but it has grown really strong and it's a reference source for the everyday brony (although a lot of people seem to hate it due to some of it's policies; "We accept everything" they said, but I have met people who have sent them material by the hundreds and none of them was ever published, nor a reply was never received).

Personally, I don't mind the site at all, and I think that it is a bit overrated.

For anyone who might be interested, a charity livestream by one of the most well known MLP fan artists, Jananimations, is about to start.

You might know him from videos like Button's Adventures and Picture Perfect Pony.

All needed information can be found here, including the stream link:
http://ask-thecrusaders.tumblr.com/ (http://ask-thecrusaders.tumblr.com/)

See you there :) I go by the name of DerpyRocks in that chat.

Also, my buddy finished another drawing:

And here's the source: http://fav.me/d8dwia3 (http://fav.me/d8dwia3)
Go and give him some (deserved) favourites :D

While not irrelevant Owlowiscious' role doesn't really get him anywhere near the significance of Spike. Not only for lack of speaking ability but also for much less frequent appearance. In spite of his unquestionable intelligence Owlowiscious seems to be set a bit more on the same level as Tank, Angel, Gummy, Opalescense and Winona. It may be a bit unfair (since we rarely see him in the role as Twilight's nighttime assistant), but Owlowiscious is considered more of a pet while calling Spike that would sound a bit like snide.

I don't know.  I just have no real connection to Spike.  He's almost like a background pony to me.  Sure he has a few lines, but it's mostly comedy relief and nothing really that important.  I'll admit he saved the Crystal Empire.  But it's rare that he does anything important or worthwhile for the plot.  It's really all about the mane 6.  But that's okay with me.  I don't dislike Spike, but it wouldn't really matter to me if he wasn't in the show anymore.

I don't dislike Spike, but it wouldn't really matter to me if he wasn't in the show anymore.
I would not consider him a main character on the same level as the mane 6, but pretty much the closest to a main character outside the mane 6. One may argue that the role of the closest to mane 6 in terms of "maincharacterdom" might go to Applebloom or Sweetie Bell, but personally I think Spike does take a more active role.
Apart from the aforementioned saving of the Christal empire (and the games there), we sometimes get him in his role of pulling the emergency break when Twilight is having her over the top moments (lesson zero), we have him with his own issues (Dragonquest, Secret of my Excess, Owls well that ends well, Just for Sidekicks, Power Pones and Spike at your Service) and we also get some character development, especially with regard to his attitude towards Rarity (comparing episodes like "A dog and pony show" to "Inspiration manifestation").
One may think of him what one will, but in my opinion his contributions are quite important and Twilight would have lacked something without her number one assistant.
Last but not least he occasionally gives some of the clishee "guys" comments in a show where there are but very, very few male characters none of which other than Spike play a very frequent role (Discord in six episodes total I think, and Shining Armor (much less active than Discord) als in six if I didn't count wrong).

Twilight Sparkle: Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned something amazing. Everypony everywhere has a special magical connection with her friends, maybe even before she's met them. If you're feeling lonely and you're still searching for your true friends, just look up in the sky. Who knows? Maybe you and your future best friends are all looking at the same rainbow.
Spike: Gross! When did you get so cheesy?
Twilight Sparkle: Just write it, Spike.
Given Spike's unawareness of context I found that one quite hilarious.

I'm not too sure how to feel about this one.  The artist that is being parodied here I hate with a passion.  However, they did a good job on it, but the lyrics make me feel uncomfortable.

So yeah!  I'm having conflicting emotions with this one. :blink:

People still make brony music? Geez, either I'm falling behind on the fandom or it's not as relevant these days.

I do like Eminem(before he retired then came back). Like Toy Soldiers is the only song I can think of that made me cry my eyes out. Either way, I'm not watching this video. Not because of the lyrics or anything but because from the title alone, it doesn't sound very good.

Although I am curious about the lyrics. Is there somewhere I might be able to read them?

About a month ago I started writing an MLP story which so far has reached page 66. Lacking a cover, the title still possibly to be changed (so far I am titling it "Lessons in quirks"), and having no native English speaker reading it I haven't so far posted any of it online. As of now Rocking Scorpion is the only one who read what has been written so far.
If anyone is interested in taking a look at it, I'd be happy to send it to you via skype or email :)
The story is likely to become the first in a series.

A radio play of the fanfiction of the same name.

Inspired by Beauty and the Beast. (The book, not the Disney movie.)

The Bride of Discord (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBlnLlXewwA)

Note that each part is between 20 and 40 minutes.  Make sure you give yourself time for it.

Oh, and just so you know, expect a bit of Applejack & Spike, but understand that's the side couple, not the main focus. :)

I've only finished part 6 of 10, but I'm really enjoying it. :D

Starlight Glimmer is the name of the new villain.  She has a "different" view of how friendship works.  On top of that, the season is mainly going to be cutie mark themed.  I wonder if that means a certain trio will finally get theirs?  God knows we've been teased too long with that. :)

Also, here's an interview trailer that gives us a more up close look of the villain.

If it does happen maybe the end of the season will be everyone giving up their cutie marks so everyone will be a blank flank, or non ponies will get them to, including dragons, giffins, mules, ect.

I hope the Equalists are a season-long villain.

And Starlight Glimmer seems to be a very interesting villain. Hell, I'd probably think of her as akin to Yuri from Red Alert: Yuri's Revenge ("There is no free will. Only my will").

I think it's more that they have other shows to focus on as well... and I'm hoping it's also due to Hasbro letting DHX take their time and not rush anything.

I'm a little disappointed since one of the early synopsis's made it sound like Applebloom was going to get her cutie mark.. but now it seems that's not the case.

This season seems to be about cutie marks though so if the CMC don't get theirs this time around, it's just going to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

As for those of you who will be going Live Stream, here's what we have so far.  Note that this is not the official Live Stream Post.  That will be done later tonight. (Tomorrow morning if EQD ends up being lazy.)

Man, it has been nearly a whole year since I last did this!  However, it is time to start it up again! :)

For the beginning of a new season, we have the Mane 6 traveling to a new, unknown area of Equestria where they discover a place where every pony has the same cutie mark and has a different take on friendship.  Can the Mane 6 show this town what cutie marks and friendship is really about?

Ah, yes, our righteous reward for our wait is finally here. Yeah, this shall be an interesting season. The map and the mane six' mission to spread friendship will undoubtedly be a great oportunity for world building. The whole equal storyline is a nice throwback to 1984, Animal Farm, and Harrison Bergeron, and those four ponies who help the Mane Six have nice designs and are rather badass. Starlight Glimmer herself was a rather fitting villain too. Personality wise, she's just like Amon,  with some Frieza thrown in. And hopefully she may return, her departure left many questions unanswered. Perhaps she'll come back as the season's final boss but who knows...

Once again, I'm glad I have the option of watching these new episodes online, since I don't get that channel at my house.

Looks like the new theme this season will be that magic map that sends the six friends on new missions, which I find to be rather interesting. In this two-part episode, we also got introduced to some new characters, not just Starlight Glimmer, but also some of the ponies in that town (I don't remember some of their names, but once they got their cutie marks back, they certainly had some nice talents). Also interesting to note is that those cutie marks were not necessarily given up, but rather were simply taken away by some magic spell that Starlight Glimmer knows how to use. Even though all of the cutie marks were returned, she still managed to get away, so I have a feeling we'll be seeing her again, later on. And of course, there were plenty of funny moments in this episode (as much as I'd love to list them all, I don't think I'd have enough time to do so).

Definitely looking forward to the rest of this season.

This was an excellent opening to what I'm sure will be an excellent season. The Cutie Map as it has officially been called seems like it'll make an interesting addition to the series and hopefully it will lead to the Mane Six having more adventures outside of Ponyville.

Starlight Glimmer was a really interesting villain(and is best communist). It surprised me that out of all the enemies the Mane Six have faced, Tirek, Discord, Nightmare Moon, Sombra, Chrysalis, she was the only one who wasn't truly defeated at the end. Sure, her plan was foiled but she still got away and will most likely return some time in the future(possibly the season finale)?

Also, is it just me or did the Cutie Mark Vault kind of look like an iPhone?

I wonder if she'll keep popping up.  A guess I have is she may pop up during the season.  also they may gather the 8 thingies, or maybe not.   it could be she'll get 4 and the main 6 will get 4.  Though if it is like usual there may be no tie except that they'll be sent to various places of Equestria.  Which means we'll get to see other towns, some that we heard about.  I do hope they visit some towns we have seen before.

REVIEW POST

I just got done watching it.  Apparently, yesterday was much busier for me than expected. (Not to mention it was the last day of two little nephews being at my mom's house and they were quite rowdy.)

Anyways, this was a good episode and worth quite the wait we had.  Starlight Glimmer is indeed a different take on a villain.  Yet, I'm not sure what it was that drove her to take everyone's cutie mark and brainwash them.  I guess if she appears again, we can find that out.

Also, I like the fact that the Mane Six weren't the ones who got back the cutie marks.  It was all of these complete strangers who found out that Starlight Glimmer had lied to them.  The four who chased Starlight Glimmer were awesome with they're talents and I really enjoyed the scene.

I look forward to this season and what it can bring us.

And the next episode looks like it'll be about Twilight getting over what happened to her old home. (CURSE YOU TIREK!!) I'm sure it'll be an emotional one. :) (Ready those tears!)

Well, see ya later! :wave

Well, time for my "what's new and hot" post.

No big surprise, Starlight Glimmer pretty much took over fandom artwork, comics and got a plushie in just two days. (I think, aside from being the villain, it was that face she made at Twilght during her "friendship speech".) Right behind her were the four who really saved the day. (Double Diamond, Night Glider, Party Favor and Sugar Belle.) All of them getting a vast amount of artwork, comics and even a few plushies.

In fact, my mind is already making up a quick one-shot for a Party Favor & Sugar Belle shipping story.  We'll see how it goes. :)

Anyways, here's some of the marathons going on before the next episode.

For today's episode, I suggest you get tissues ready.

Summary: Twilight is avoiding her new home because she's reminiscing over her old one.  Can her friends make the castle more like home and help her get over her loss?

Dang!  I SO hate Tirek for this!  You don't go and destroy a main character's home.  Not unless you have a serious death wish.  I REALLY hope he's suffering in Tartus right now for this.

Well, I'll hopefully be giving my opinion later tonight.

I kinda figured that Twilight's friends' first attempt at redecorating the castle wouldn't go so well. I do like what they ultimately settled on, which included digging up the remains of Twilight's old home and turning it into some kind of collection of memories. And of course, there were still plenty of funny moments too (most of them coming from Spike).

Just finished watching the episode. This was perhaps the most touching episode MLP's ever done. It's incredible just how much effort Twilight's friends put in to make her feel more welcome in her castle. Of course in their first attempt they were missing the point but at least their hearts were in the right place. The scene at the end where they dig up the remains of the library and turning it into a collection of memories brought tears to my eyes.

I actually thought it would be more depressing. Not saying that's a bad thing that it wasn't. I just remember the trailer for season five making this episode look really sad.

Great episode. Hopefully Twilight will be more comfortable in her new home.

REVIEW POST!

This was indeed one emotional episode.  I too am surprised by the amount of effort Twilight's friends put into making it her own home.  It also seems they added their own touch with a room or two.  I'm sure we'll get to see what they did with each of the rooms as time goes. (I mean, that dining room Rarity did was amazing!)

What really shocked me was the cameo of Bulk Biceps.  He actually works at the spa now.  He gives massages.  Ouch!  Poor Spike! :lol

Of course I won't leave out what they did with the remains of the Golden Oaks Library!  That was pretty awesome of them. :)

It was enjoyable and let's see what's next.

For the next episode, Apple Bloom is suffering from anxiety over getting her cutie mark, turning her life into a nightmare.

Okay, if she is suffering this much, just give it to her already writers!  Seriously!

See ya later! :wave

Post by: Kor on April 12, 2015, 01:38:55 AM
I found Bulk Bicep's cameo very funny.  

If they wanted to help Twilight feel more at home I'd have thought, why not go to the ruined castle and bring in some books.  Applejack has a cart and they all have saddle bags.  That surely would help Twilight feel more at home and where they are the book will be ruined eventually.

Events we didn't see happen?  That makes the most sense.   also maybe the animators didn't bother counting.  But I prefer my first reason.

My guess is that the animators didn't really think about how many gems they were going to put on the tree. They were probably more concerned about finishing the episode.

Now for this week's "What's New and Hot" Post!

This week, Starlight Glimmer is still holding her top spot, but Twilight Sparkle is quickly catching up due to her new look.  That thing got a plushie in no time and even inspired an idea for a new shampoo (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/04/would-you-buy-royal-princess-shampoo.html).  Likely won't happen for real, but we can dream. :)

Time for Applebloom to take the spot light.

Summary:  Applebloom is suffering from anxiety from not having her cutie mark.  It is turning her life into a living nightmare.

Okay, if it's this bad, just give it to her already, writers!  We've been teased long enough.

Just finished watching the episode. Seemed kind of "eh" to me. I'm pretty disappointed that Babs got her Cutie Mark offscreen(does this mean we won't see the Manehattan Cutie Mark Crusaders)? The constant "only a dream" portions got tiring pretty quickly although the part with Big Mac speaking more than Granny Smith and Applejack was kind of funny. I am glad that Princess Luna finally met with Apple Bloom in her dreams. Now the holy trinity is complete.

All in all, not a bad episode but nothing spectacular.

EDIT: There is one thing I forgot to say. I liked the part where Scootaloo is flying during the CMC's dream meeting. That was just so cute and awesome!

Loved the latest two episodes. "Castle sweet Castle" does a good job portraying Twilight's grief over the loss of her former home, and the attempts her friends make to decorate the place to cheer her up so she can feel more better. And it's great to see our beloved princess "MoonButt" entering AppleBloom's dream to help her, completing the CMC dream cycle.

BTW, I know it's been a long time since "Somepony to Watch Over Me" premiered, but wouldn't it be awesome if someone made a PMV of the chimera sisters singing Itchy and Dil's "Who Needs You?" from LBT IV?

REVIEW POST!

This one I get in early! :)

Anyways, this wasn't too bad of an episode, but the constant dreams did get tiring by the end.  At first, I was a bit confused with the first dream, (In the sense of whether or not it was a dream.) but then crazy things happened and it was easy to tell this was nothing more than one of those never ending dream scenarios.

It also seems like Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are also worried just as badly as Applebloom is with getting their cutie marks.  I hope it won't be too much longer before they get their cutie marks.  Otherwise, it's just going to get tiring in the end.

Finally, Princess Luna shows up in Applebloom's dream, completing the quest of visiting all three of them in their dreams.  I wonder if the connection will lead to anything big in the end.

Two things I will note is that we found out that Babs Seed got her cutie mark and that pancakes have now become a common thing in the pony universe. (Seriously, two episodes in a row with them?)

So overall, good episode, but could have been better.

Okay, so what's next?  Tank needs to hibernate for winter and Rainbow Dash tries to stop winter from coming.  Why do I already have a bad feeling about this episode?  Who knows, I could be wrong. :)

Well, I'll see ya all later! :wave

^I'm coming in later than I usually do. :oops

I pretty much knew right from the get-go that everything after that first wake-up was going to be just a dream, but I wasn't expecting an all-out inception sequence, though it was still entertaining. I also liked how Princess Luna literally has doors into other pony's dreams (I wonder how fans will make use of that concept). Overall, another good episode.

Post by: Malte279 on April 19, 2015, 05:42:01 AM
I really like the fourth episode a lot. Cutie marks are one central topic in my story so I am always a bit worried that perhaps the new cutie mark centered episodes might eliminate some premises for the stories I am working on, but luckily this was not the case.
While I see your point about the crusaders getting their cutie marks I think one should be very careful not to rush it... yes, I know after four complete seasons one could hardly think of any cutie marks appearing as "rushed". However, an episode in which they ultimately get their cutie marks could be both, really beautiful but it could also turn into quite a disappointment (no matter what there are bound to be many fans who will have different ideas from what they will get in the end). In any case the crusaders will have to be reinvented when they get their marks. Their lack of cutie marks is at the very least as defining to them as the cutie marks are to the characters who already got them.
I admit I was rather relieved when it was clear that the crusaders would not have their marks at the end of the episode. I wonder about the kind of talk Apple Bloom would have had to have with Fluttershy in case she had really turned out to be a "pestpony" (the term alone gave me quite some laughs) :p
During the episode I realized rather late that it was just a dream (only when the barn of Sweet Apple Acres was destroyed I was sure it was a dream (in spite of the fact that this barn is probably Ponyville's most frequently demolished building ;))). When during a later dream Pinkie Pie flew by suspended on balloons in a chicken costume I wondered for a moment if now, given the realism of this being very Pinky Pieish, the last waking up had perhaps been real :lol

I enjoyed the episode, though I guessed early on it was a dream.  Forgot when I first guessed it.  Nice to see Princess Luna appear also.   I think they should add a rule where if you get your cutie mark you can still be a CMC as long as you promise to help the others to get their cutie marks.    I do wonder if they'll get their cutie marks this season or not.   Or if they do if they'll be like their g3 versions.   I've not seen any g3 in a while, but at least some of the cmc's do have g3 versions, and their teacher too I think.

Wherever I look in half of cases I see either mentioning of MLP or pony fanart...  Such gets quite annoying with time, as it's something you don't want that's being simply pushed in your face. While bronies/cloppers give a bad name to the show, it's so overrated now that's it's like the best cartoon of all times which it's absolutely not!  All ponies look the same except for color scheme, manes & tattoos on their buttocks (it's like if you would watch The Smurfs where they all look the same too...  such a boring cartoon!), the flash animation is flat, lazy & unrealistic, the color palette of the show is too bright/colourful that it's acrid, yucky & harsh on the eyes unless you put on your sunglasses or lower the screen brightness/colorfulness.  Episodes are boring (I did watch & not one but like 5 to be sure in my opinion!) & they don't bring anything new since all has been seen in other cartoons. Really, the show is praised & being put above everything else for everything it's not.  If you want better & enjoyable cartoons, watch like Garfield & Friends, New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Ren & Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Gumball, etc.

Well, guess ponies is just not a cartoon you might watch, not everyone can like the same thing. ;)

However, calling the animation flat, lazy and unrealistic is something that is just not true.

All of those stills from just one episode.

And just look at this background:

Especially adding light effects and shadows on a character that is moving a lot and also applying these same effects to the background takes a huge of effort to make it look good.

Of course there are movies (or even shows) that feature better animation. But for a show that airs only on saturdays and at a time where I still would be asleep if I'd live in the USA as fas as I know (xD) this animation is rather advanced, and it's improving steadily since the beginning.

In 2017 we'll get a movie that probably will hit theatres. I bet the animation we'll see in that one will be quite amazing, actually.

Nice bg's but the 2nd pic just screams for the outlining to be there! Every object is colored monotonously which makes it look flat, simple, lazy, Simpsons- or FOP-like. And under "lazy animation" I meant character's movements.  Maybe "lazy" could be a wrong word but since this is in flash, all flash shows in movements look same flat & unrealistic... But aren't we, grownass men, with all seriousness discussing/debating over the show initially targeted for little girls?  xD

Correct, but for instance, LBT is something one won't be ashamed watching or talking about publicly.  Try telling at work or in the class that you're a brony / MLP / fan of colourful ponies & the whole audience would go like BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHA

Well, this week, the fanbase had their fun with torturing Applebloom with Dreams that Should Remain Unseen.  I'll leave it at that.  Applebloom also got a plushie with interchangeable cutie marks (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-HZlIugHBRSk/VTlQhYYZA3I/AAAAAAABRZs/lO2FFZvKOCo/s1600/AppleBloomandhercutiemarkPlush.png).

Well that was an interesting episode. I loved the references to Game of Thrones(Which I admit I've never seen, I just know that from the meme), Abbot and Costello's Who's on First, and the Grinch. The song was also pretty good too.

Even though Rainbow Dash is my favorite character, I think she was seriously being a bit ridiculous with this whole thing. Risking upsetting the balance of nature because you don't want your pet to sleep? Really? She acted as though Tank was going to die. He was only going to sleep for three or four months. It's not that bad. It was surprising to see Rainbow Dash break down into tears. It could have been a great scene but what killed it for me is that Rarity and Pinkie end up crying not for Rainbow Dash but because Fluttershy's crying! Rainbow's the one with the problem and they pretty much forget that she was even there. I guessed it was supposed to be a reference to the Bronies who only care about how Fluttershy's feeling and forget the other characters?

Before I end this, there's just one thing I noticed: at the beginning, RD tells Tank that this is going to be the first winter they've ever had together. She's had him for three seasons(show seasons) and this is their first winter? Time must move extremely slowly in Equestria.

I have to admit, there were quite a lot of funny moments in this episode (such as the confusion among a few pegasai due to each others' names, like Clear Sky and Open Sky). Also, according to a post I read on another site, this episode apparently showed Rainbow Dash going through all five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. When I watched it a second time, I have to say that I found that to be a surprisingly accurate observation.

REVIEW POST!

I will admit that this was an episode I was avoiding for most of the day.  I just had this bad feeling about it.  Like, I knew it was going to be one of the weaker episodes.  However, despite that being the case, I'm at least a little glad I took the time to sit down and watch it via YouTube.

As with her being my absolute favorite character in the show, I have a very high opinion of Rainbow Dash.  As such, I almost felt she was being a little too frantic for her character with her reaction to Tank hibernating.  However, at the same time, I can't help but understand her reason for the freaking out like she did.

I wouldn't be surprised if Rainbow actually became attached to Tank in the time she's had him.  People can become attached to their pets so much that they accept them as a sibling.  This might have been the case for Rainbow Dash.  She probably thinks of him as a brother.  It would help in making her reaction make sense.

That being said, I still feel that, even for her character, she overreacted.  It just really felt like the writers didn't take the correct path with her character.

I did like how we got to see how making winter works for their world.  Not to mention the whole "Open Sky and Clear Sky" joke felt like something out of the good days of Family Guy. :spit

However, what surprised me most was not just Fluttershy saying what needed to be said for Rainbow to get over it, but also saying it in the most harsh way possible.  Seriously Fluttershy, you surprise me yet again.  I had to pause the video to take in the fact of what she actually said there.  The scene of Rainbow Dash breaking down like that would've been heartbreakingly great, if it just wasn't ruined by Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

Overall, not a terrible episode, but not a good one either.  I can at least say it ended on a good note.

Maybe the next one will be better?  Let's see...  next week is the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to catch an outlaw in Appleloosa.  Gee, what could possibly go wrong with that? :D

Yeah, I'm not expecting much from that. :)

Well, see ya later! :wave

For anybody who's ever had a turtle(tortoise) I was wondering, instead of having Tank sleep underground for the winter, couldn't Rainbow Dash have just gotten a tank(no pun intended) with a big enough light to keep him warm through the winter? That way, Tank could still hibernate but RD wouldn't have to say goodbye to him for awhile. I've never had a reptile for a pet so I'm not really sure how it works.

Don't forget that she wanted to do some winter activities with Tank.  She wanted to have fun with him, not have him laze about in front of a fireplace drinking hot cocoa the whole winter.  While your idea would've kept him from "turning off" for the winter, it would've only made him stuck in one place the whole time, which was not what Rainbow wanted.

Well I do understand that but what I meant was after Dashie had accepted that Tank needed to hibernate. Perhaps Fluttershy could have given her something to keep Tank in so that Tank could still hibernate and RD wouldn't have to let him go for awhile.

Only now do I get the reference.  Then again, the whole reason why I didn't get it was because I never watch the show it is based off of.  Someone had to tell me, sadly. -_-

Well, this episode may very well be the closest thing the show deals with the demise of a loved one, even if Tank wasn't dying, RD acted quite a lot as if he were on his last toes, even passing through the 5 stages of grief. While this concept was carried decently, I agree with everyone that Rainbow's method of trying to stop winter was utterly reckless and destructive, not to mention she got away with it. But given the show's strong continuity and the fact it constantly references past episodes, there's some likelihood that in a future episode we may see a small nod to Rainbow's sabotage in the form of any major authority of the factory berating her for what she did, or something similar. But yeah, it's overall a heartwarming, if rather saddening, episode.
Also, epic Game of Thrones reference is epic :)

Overall I did enjoy it.  Except for her getting off scott free, though some other characters have gotten off scott free for what they did or a very minor thing happen to them, so it's nothing new.  

I do agree that this is likely the closest to a pet dieing.  but also was about some animals hibernate, including maybe some pets. Not sure if some pets do or not.

Sorry about not posting the "what's new and hot" post yesterday.  I was rather tired and had little energy.  After that, yesterday was just a bad day for me, all things considered. :(

That being said, let's begin today's post. :)

Episode 6 - Appleloosa's Most Wanted (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/05/appleloosas-most-wanted-discussion-and.html)

Summary:  Outlaw Troubleshoes Clyde is terrorizing the Appleloosa Rodeo and the Cutie Mark Crusaders plan to bring him to justice, hoping to get their cutie marks.

Time for some Old West fun!  Yeehah!  :D

I'll hopefully give my review of it later tonight.

See ya later! :wave

I enjoyed it. I'd have to watch it another time or 2 to get a full personal review.  It was obvious to me early on that what'shisname was meant to be a rodeo clown.  But I still enjoyed it.  It was nice to see Appleloosa again.

Another good episode. I was not surprised at all that the CMC decided to sneak out to find that outlaw. However, it was only when we actually saw the face of Troubleshoes about halfway through the episode that I realized he wasn't an outlaw but rather just an unlucky klutz. On that note, it seems the old superstition of an upside-down horseshoe being bad luck finally got referenced in this show (after more than four seasons of pony).

Troubleshoes vs Eeyore in the ultimate emo off! Place your bets!

This was a pretty entertaining episode. It was kind of obvious that Troubleshoes wasn't really an outlaw and I liked how even though he was pretty mopey, he was still sympathetic. I actually forgot the superstition about upside down horseshoes so at first the meaning behind Troubleshoes' Cutie Mark didn't make much sense to me.

Like others have said, it was nice to see Appleloosa again and it was cool that Braeburn finally got some lines after almost four seasons. I just wish we could have gotten to see some one on one time with him and Apple Bloom. It's sometimes hard to believe that their cousins since they've pretty much never interacted with each other.

REVIEW POST!

Now this was a good episode.  Troubleshoes was indeed quite the klutz and it explains why everyone thought he was some criminal who just messes up rodeos so badly that they need to be cancelled.  I liked how they used this whole thing of bad luck in such a creative way.  In the end, he was able to take his bad luck and make a career out of it.

Troubleshoes was also quite a good character.  He may have been a bit emo, but in an Eeyore sort of way.  He was also sympathetic, which gave him more of a personality I would come to expect from someone that feels they are suffering from bad luck.

Oh, and one other thing I'll point out is Sweetie Belle, who we see has improved with her magic.  We got sparks of magic when Babs Seed was around.  The episode "Twilight Time" had her having trouble levitating things.  Now we see her having little trouble with the simplest tasks.  She's definitely come a long way.  I can only see her getting better at this point.  Now all we have to do is see Scootaloo actually fly outside of a dream.

Now, final thing I'll point out...

Applebloom: How can it get any worse.

*Cliff breaks and they fall in mud.*

Me: *facepalm* When will anyone in cartoons learn not to say that!?

Still, overall, a good episode and I very much enjoyed it.

Now, I will note that we now get a bit of a break as there is no new episode next week.  Instead, they are showing some G1 and G3 stuff.

So, we are now back on track with a brand new episode today!  It features Fluttershy, The Grand Galloping Gala, Discord and THE SMOOZE!

Summary: After finding out that Fluttershy is taking a new friend to the Grand Galloping Gala instead of him, Discord goes to extreme lengths to show that it doesn't bother him.

Read the spoiler below if you want, but it's your decision.

Troll who got to see a leak revealed that the Mane 6 get to choose a pony to take to the gala with them and Fluttershy chose to take a "hippie pony" as he called it.  Plus The SMOOZE was invited by Discord.

We'll see how this goes.  Here's the link to the Live Streams below.

With Discord around, you can always expect to see a ton of funny moments and gags, and this episode was no exception. :lol  That aside, I like that the Smooze was introduced as not a villain but rather as a rather easy-going creature, once you get to know it. We also got to see the return of Maud Pie, who apparently enjoys comedy.

REVIEW POST!!

First off, let me start by saying that I can see why some of the G1 fans may not like this episode.  From my research, back then, THE SMOOZE was one of the most powerful villains of the franchise. (He literally shrugged off the equivalent of The Elements of Harmony back then.) Instead, for today's episode, he was made into an easy going character whom becomes bigger by eating jewels.  He is still a viable threat though. (He was able to block Celestia's magic after all.) However, he is not a bad guy.  He wanted to have a good time at the party and Discord wasn't offering that.  It's no wonder he caused trouble.

Anyways, I pretty much stayed away from the G1 episodes back then. (The art style alone still makes me do so these days.) So I really don't care that THE SMOOZE was downgraded.  He was still an enjoyable character and I really liked the episode in the end.

Discord was quite enjoyable.  His jealous fit over simply not being Fluttershy's date for the Gala was quite entertaining.  Then came all of the chaos he caused at the Gala without even trying. (THE SMOOZE did most of the work, after all.) Then came the bad puns with Maud saying one of the best lines in the episode.

Maud: You are the most basic of jokes.

My jaw dropped and I couldn't help but smile at that.  Then came a great chaotic seen, followed by Discord opening a dimension I wish I could unsee.  Fluttershy then has Discord learn the lesson of the episode and he sets everything right and apologizes to Fluttershy's friend.

It then ends with Pinkie Pie dancing with THE SMOOZE and fans questioning Celestia at the end.

Overall, an enjoyable episode and one I probably won't forget anytime soon.

Next episode, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie dispute on what problem they were sent to fix.  We'll see how that one goes.

See ya later! :wave

So, I have been digging information about the upcoming 100th episode.  Turns out, while the mane six are dealing with a monster, Ponyville is preparing for a wedding.

Here's a picture of the two that are getting married in the 100th episode.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nkBLpT12DdI/VVuEptKk-4I/AAAAAAACO8w/GmErhjNWgoo/s640/unnamed.png)

It's Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda.  Haven't seen those two in a while. :D

I wonder why Pinkie is dealing with a monster than being at this wedding?  You'd think that the friend whom got them together in the first place (Albeit unintentionally.) would be there over that.

Oh well, I'm sure she'll be forgiven.

It is also rumored that a number of well known side cameos will be making appearances.  Who do you guys think will appear if said rumor turns out to be true? :)

Finally got a chance to watch those two episodes. Appleloosa's most wanted is decent, it's got a lot of funny jokes and cute moments and Troubleshoes is a rather sweet character. He's got a neat design (Clydesdales FTW) and I can kinda relate to him, I can be quite a klutz for a good deal of time
As for Make New Friends But Keep Discord, it's got to be a really amusing chapter. Discord was totally spot-on and his references are epic too. Loved his failed comedy scene. Oh, and Tree Huger the hippie pony sure is hilarious, hope to see her come back, and we all loved Maud's return here too. Regarding this take on the Smooze, well, it kinda feels like a tiny-sized, cute and friendly Hedorah, as long as it doesn't get out of control.
Anyway. can't wait till Saturday to see what the Griffin Kingdom looks like!

Time for another "What's New and Hot" Post!

With Maud Pie returning, she was starting to climb the ranks, but Tree Hugger won out in the end.  Yep!  Hippie Jokes aplenty!

Discord was still holding strong, along with THE SMOOZE and we got a new pairing in the form of...

Fluttershy&Tree Hugger! <_< Nice!

Anyways...

Here are the marathons leading up to tomorrow's episode.

Why do they put Sonic Boom SO early?  It's like they WANTED it to fail. :(

About to head off to work, but I have just enough time to put this in!

We have another adventure happening due to the new map we got in the first episode!  Today, we get the kingdom of the Griffons.  It was also announced on Facebook that Gilda returns!

Summary: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie are called by the map to help at the ancient kingdom of Griffonstone!  However, the two have a conflict as to the reason they were sent there!

Been a while since I last saw Gilda!  I wonder if being away has made her a better individual.  We'll see! :)

After 94 episodes, Gilda finally makes her second appearance in the entire series. Not only that, but also we finally learn some backstory about the griffon homeland. I also couldn't help but notice that every griffon we now know of has a name that starts with G, so I wonder what that indicates about their culture.

The next episode (episode number 100!) won't air until three weeks from now (June 13). Sure, that seems like a long time to wait, but considering some things I've been up to lately, I'll gladly take advantage of this large break to get a few things done.

Alright so quick thoughts on last week's episode: good. Stoner pony was funny, reminded me of Saints Row 2 Shaundi and Discord was as awesome as always. Smooze was also a lot cuter than I thought he/she/it would be.

Now for this week's episode. Just finished watching it and I thought it was virtually flawless. I really can't think of anything I didn't enjoy about it. I like that the map played a role again and it seems to me like Lauren Faust's original goal to make the series more adventure oriented could still come true. I was pretty surprised to see Gilda back(I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised since the episode was about going to the griffon kingdom). I loved the flashback with Dashie and Gilda as fillies(I don't know what a baby griffon would be called) and little Gilda was SOOOO ADORABLE!!! It was nice seeing Gilda reformed and actually get along with Dash and Pinkie. I hope we'll get to see more interactions with them.

By the way, is Pinkie ever going to realize that Gummi has an attention span that makes a goldfish look attentive  :lol

Post by: Malte279 on May 24, 2015, 06:59:02 AM
Contrary to my usual habbits of waiting for quite a while until I watch a new episode (preemptive joy and all that ;)) I already did watch The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone today.
When I read that it featured Gilda again I was too curious to delay since both, a return of Gilda and the Griffin kingdom have been on my list of things I hope to see in future MLP episodes (posted about it in a German forum).
I found this episode to be really awesome. Rainbow Dash's immitation of Twilight was hilarious, we saw Pinkie Pie at her best, I loved how they messed around with the probable expectations of the audience with regard to the Griffin kingdom turning out to be a "...total dump".
Another thing I really love is how the show makes fun of itself. In spite of the good story and all I couldn't help thinking that they were pushing the "friendship is good moral button" in a somewhat clichee kind of manner when Rainbow Dash simply worded my thoughts: "Whoa, Pinkie. That was... really sappy." :lol
That was just awesome. Same as Pinkie Pie we saw RD very much in character and her ending up in kind of a wind channel where all her flying abilities by themselves couldn't solve the problem was rather awesome. Same as the preceeding episode about Discord this one ranks among my favorites of the current season so far :yes

On another note, I have by now reached page 228 of my MLP fanfiction "Lessons in quirks" (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/249600/lessons-in-quirks) part of which I have posted at fimfiction.net, if anyone is interested and has the time and leisure for it I am always happy about new readers and their feedback :)

REVIEW POST!

Okay, sorry I didn't get this up until now, but I just finished watching the episode.  The reason I didn't get to it yesterday is because I got sick last night.  I'll explain in the "How are you feeling" thread later.

Anyways, this was a good episode.  I have to admit, when I first saw the title, I was half expecting Griffonstone to be somewhat akin to Ancient Egypt.  Boy did they kill my expectations.  Rainbow Dash saying it was a "total dump" pretty much summed it up.

I'm actually glad that they didn't bring Twilight.  She would have been devastated if she saw what Griffonstone had become. (Not to mention the state of the library might've made her heart stop in a bad way.) Though I do admit I liked how Rainbow Dash made fun of Twilight.  Hair-do and all. :D

Gilda returns, and MAN was she still resentful!  Not to mention I think she got a voice actor change.  I really didn't like many of the griffons.  They were SO greedy that they didn't do anything unless you gave them money.  Heck, money was more important than saving someone's life to the tour guide.

Not to mention that Pinkie was just being her usual silly self.  The way she helped Gilda in making friends was kind of creative.  It's definitely something I wouldn't have thought of.

Finally, the point where Gilda chose her friends over some idol.  I will admit it felt a bit forced, but was done rather well despite that.

Oh, and I did enjoy the flashback of young Rainbow Dash and Gilda.

All in all, a good episode that I can't hate in the end.  They did a good job.

Next up is the 100th episode!  Let's hope certain fans at least give it a chance despite it not focusing on the Mane Six.

I'm planning to take the whole week off when it appears just due to E3.  Hopefully, I can talk to my manager about it.

Well, see ya later! :wave

Yet another good one, season 5 has yet to disappoint. Gotta love all those griffins and their designs, I'm specially fond of Grampa Gruff, he's like a turkey vulture. I loved how the griffins were given traits and elements of Southern European and Asian cultures, given their mythical origins. They're somewhat like the Toydarians from Star Wars lore as well. Gilda's return and redemption is well handled too, and it's great to see she and Dash are friends once again, not to mention she'll hopefully help Griffonstone go back to its former glory showing friendship to everygriffin.
Fun Fact: Arimaspi are a race of cyclops-like monsters from Greek mythology who were at war with griffins and constantly attempted to raid their gold. That's the creature seen in the flashbacks.
Also, Pinkie X King Grover statue is now my OTP

While that would be pretty cool I'd say it's pretty unlikely that they'll use Derpy's real name again. They might just end up calling her Ditzy or something else. The writers probably just see it as too big a risk now after what happened.

This is it!  Tomorrow is the 100th Episode!  Just in time for my one-week vacation from the job I hate with a passion!  I even deliberately took the time off just to see this when it airs and E3. (Not that I told my managers that, mind you. ;) )

Now, I know a number of fans already want to write this off as "WORST EPISODE EVAR!" just because it doesn't focus on the Mane Six.  However, I encourage all naysayers to give this a real chance.  Remember, this one is being different because of the fact it's the 100th episode.  I'd say it's time we gave the Mane Six a break and see what the other residents of Ponyville are like. (Or at least the way the writers imagine them.) If it's a good episode, it should be acknowledged and the little rant of the Mane Six not being focused on for the episode should be ignored.  Remember, give it a real chance.  You might actually like it.

Anyways, with that, here are the marathons leading up to the 100th episode.

REVIEW WITH SPOILERS POST!

Couldn't do the Spoiler Post alone!  Commercials were too short this time around.  So I'm combining it with the Review Post!

Anyways, so this was the episode where the background became the foreground in terms of characters and it was quite good.  It was amazing what occurred due to a simple error of the date.  Nice job there, Derpy! :)

Just for those whom have yet to see it, she got a good speaking role, but never once was her name mentioned.  So the writers avoided that little thing.

Anyways, she and Dr. Whooves do know one another, but their relationship is unknown at this point. (Though I'm sure the fans will scour the episode for "hints".)

Flameless fireworks were used for the flowers for the wedding.  Dr. Whooves tried his hoof at bowling just to get his suit done in time.  Steven Magnet was best man. (No joke!) Bonbon's real name is Sweetie Drops and she's a secret agent.  Octi and DJ-Pon live in the same house, but are divided, but know how to make some great music together.  There's even an awesome sequence of how they get everyone to the wedding on time.  All the while the Mane Six are fighting a panda bear/bee hybrid. (I wish I was making THAT up!)

We not only have all of Ponyville for the wedding, but also Celestia, Luna, Candence and Shining Armor!  Oh, and a changling was also invited, apparently.

It was a big fandom reference episode that worked out quite well and I'm glad I got to see it live! :)

For next time we have a Spike focused episode where he makes decisions in Twilight's name.  What could possibly go wrong? :D

I'll be posting the YouTube Link soon!

Man has season five been awesome so far! Episode 100 definitely did not disappoint. Derpy's new voice is a lot cuter than her season two voice(s). Lyra's voice sounded a lot younger than I thought it would be and with Bonbon's talk of her having a secret identity and working for an undercover organization, I was half expecting her to mention working for FOXHOUND (blame my playing MGS 1 lately). Also, man, who would have thought Gummi was so...so...deep?

I do wish that the other background ponies would have gotten some speaking lines and that Vinyl would have actually spoken (I wonder if she might be mute)?. I hoped Button Mash would have had a part and maybe some of the CMC's other classmates. And I'm sorry if this sounds a little childish but some of the lines during the wedding had me (unintentionally) cracking up like when Steven Magnet tells Cranky to "get over there and marry that donkey!" I know it just, it just didn't sound right to me I guess. Like I said, sorry if that sounds childish. One thing I thought was kind of weird was 1. Shining Armor and Cadence being there and 2. Shining Armor crying before Cranky and Matilda's wedding. He doesn't even know them so why would he be crying?

Great episode. One of my favorites of this season. On a closing note, I loved that Spike, for once got to be part of something that the Mane Six couldn't be there for. As great as the Mane Six are, I still think Spike deserves better treatment so it felt pretty good to see him get to be there for an event the MS couldn't be.

Who's to say whether or not Shining does know them?  After all, Cranky was traveling all over to find Matilda.  Maybe Cranky and Shining got to know each other back when Shining was working for Celestia.

Edit:  Also, Behold!  The voice cast for the episode!  Let's see if some of you guessed right for the background ponies. :)

Episode 100 Voice Cast (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/06/the-voices-behind-todays-episode-100.html)

Looking at the roles Tabitha St. Germain pulled off, I just have to say she is freaking amazing!  However, I'm most surprised that Ashleigh Ball pulled off Lyra so well!  What talent she has! :)

I...actually hadn't thought about that. If that's true, that's kinda clever in hindsight. It would make sense too since, if I remember correctly, Cranky did say he's been to Canterlot so he could have visited the castle when Shining was still there.

The first thing I have to say about this episode was that it had a ton of funny moments. :lol:  I'm pretty sure that I was either smiling or (quietly) laughing for much of this episode. Right from the moment when Derpy (officially named "Muffins" now, according to the end credits) showed up near the beginning, it was just one humorous moment after another. There was even a minor argument between Celestia and Luna over a forgotten gift, so this special episode certainly lived up to its name.

Of all the characters featured in this episode, my personal favorite would have to be "Doctor" for his love of science and inventing, along with all those numerous references to a certain science fiction show (he wore a bowtie for much of the episode, and at the wedding itself he wore that very long multi-colored scarf and even said "Allonsy").

Post by: Malte279 on June 15, 2015, 07:25:34 AM
Wow, this episode was... different. I enjoyed it a lot for what I think it was supposed to be by the makers. It looks to me like a deep bow of recognition to the fandom by the makers of the show and that is something really positive, especially given how little many other franchises seem to care for their audience :yes
I have read few, but rather heated views by some bronies who despise the episode. While I understand some of their points, I'm afraid that it was based on a very different kind of expectation they had for this episode.
One can legitimately argue that this episode could be seen as kind of jumbled, lacking a constant central theme and giving many snippets without a really solid plot.
However, this is an episode that should not be seen detached from "the context" and that context in my view is the fanwork of all the years. Somebody who doesn't know MLP or even someone who only ever watched the series but didn't check out all the fanart, fanfiction etc. would probably be understandably confused by this episode. This is in many ways an episodes for the bronies rather than for the original target audience ;)

SPOILER ALERT (just some random thoughts and impressions)

- I very much enjoyed seeing Derpy (I'll stick to that name) in a speaking role and I found her voice in this episode a lot more fitting than the one in the last roundup (I got to admit I had thought Derpy to be a colt because of the voice in the last roundup. :)
- I generally enjoyed the concept of dragging some of the background characters a bit more into the spotlight. I heard some fans complaining about the mane6 being pushed aside in this episode (and admittedly the door of the celebration being pretty much shut into their faces was a little rude) but I think after 99 episodes mostly focused on them (or the CMCs) it is not much of a loss to see an episode dedicated to the other poines. Some fans expressed fear that there may be intentions to produce more episodes focused on background ponies rather than the mane6. I like the mane6 a lot and would not want to see them discarded, but I don't think the prospect of episodes focused on other ponies as well to be that kind of abandoning of the mane6 which some fans seem to fear. I'm open minded about giving a little more spotlights to the many ponies often shown but in many cases never even named in the show.
- I enjoyed hearing more of Lyra and Bonbon, but Bonbon as a secret agent was one of the big WTF moments for me and admittedly one I found a bit over the top (being more specific than many of the things which were aluded to but were still kept vague enough so it wouldn't smash up too many headcanons) :huh:
- How did the love eating changeling get invited? That one will certainly spawn a lot of fanfiction etc. (and in turn I expect it was probably spawned by fanfictions already existing).
- It was kind of hilarious to see that apparently the ponies of Ponyville by now consider the mane6 battling evil monsters on the town square just a slice of daily live while "THE HORROR" is seen in a damaged flower or the like (I kind of wonder though whose home it was that was destroyed by the bearbeething).
- It's interesting to see that all four known princesses of Equestria (with the exception of the one that was busy battling monsters) attended the wedding of two donkeys at least one of whom is known to have shunned society for most of his life. This is a monarch really close to the people ;)


By now I have passed page 250 of my fanfiction "Lessons in quirks".

To answer your question about the changeling, Malte, I'd assume he might be a good changeling. We've seen that there are good ponies and bad ponies, good dragons and bad dragons, etc so it could stand to reason that there are some good changelings out there.

Also, I have to agree about the whole secret agent Bonbon thing. When Bonbon first mentioned that, I was expecting Lyra to ask if she was being serious only for Bonbon to crack up and reply "Of course not". The fact that she really is some kind of secret agent just seems really odd to me.

Kind of a Chomper equivalent given that they feed on love.
It is somewhat funny that actually it should be in the very own interest of Chrysalis and the changelings to spread and foster as much love as they can in order to have a better harvest :lol
Guess the locust (swarming leaf gobbler?) mentality works against that.

SWEET MONKEY JESUS! That episode sure was astonishing! It was insanely sweet to take a look at the crazy little adventures of all those pretty background equines. Bon Bon being a freaking Mare in Black (funnily enough, it's Lyra the most normal one in the relationship), The Doctor being, well, the Doctor, complete with his classic catchphrases and neat references, with some Doc Brown thrown in, Derpy gloriously speaking once again (with a voice similar to some fandom interpretations) and being Whooves' companion (with some Ship tease to boot), Octavia and DJ P0n3 being roomies and making awesome music, the Big Lebowski ponies behaving like their counterparts... the list is HUGE. It's safe to assume lots of bronies and pegasisters got happily satisfied with their headcanons. The Bugbear is one fine monster as well (with another hilarious pun behind it too), and the wedding between Cranky and Matilda was lovely, as well as the Mayor's speech. Twilight is indeed right about being lucky to live with her friends in Ponyville.

Also, hooray for random changeling. And Featherweight getting sprayed with ink.

Well they might do another episode like this when we reach episode 200. If that does end up being the case, I hope they focus on some of the other background ponies.

LIVE STREAM POST!

Just so you all know, Bon Bon/Sweetie Drops pretty much took over the spotlight.  Looks like the fandom loves the idea of her being a secret agent.  Can't say that I blame them, though.  Anyways, here we go for the latest episode.

Summary: Twilight wishes to be left alone for the day and Spike is put in charge of making sure nothing bothers her.  When the power goes to his head, he starts making decisions in her name.

Oh boy!  I can see where this is going.  It's going to be good! :D

Here is the link for the Live Streams.

Just finished watching Princess Spike.

It was an alright episode. I can see why Spike would let that power go to his head since the poor little guy is so often overlooked. Fancypants being back was pretty cool and even Moustaff(pretty sure I spelled his name wrong) gets a cameo.

One thing that bugs me not necessarily about this episode but the series as a whole is just how easily the citizens of Equestria can be swayed. "Princess Twilight" orders that repairs on a water main be ceased for a couple hours and the pony working on it just goes along with it? Doesn't find it even the slightest bit strange or goes to speak with her about this supposed decision? I'm reminded of near the end of Sweet and Elite when the Mane Six (minus Rarity) are being criticized by the Canterlot elite for not being as high class as them. Then Fancypants says he finds them delightful and all of a sudden the rest of them do too. Anyway, they should have known that something wasn't right with these decisions. Only Cadence had enough common sense to know something was amiss.  

Not a bad episode but not really that interesting in my opinion.

Post by: Kor on June 20, 2015, 06:12:14 PM
I agree.  I'd classify it as an ok episode, not bad but not good.  Though the one thing I did dislike was it was another Spike episode that seemed to show he can let things go to his head.  Of the Spike focused episodes so far I think I like Dragon Quest best.

Post by: Animeboye on June 20, 2015, 07:07:24 PM
As good as this show is, it does tend to repeat character flaws. Spike letting things go to his head, as you've mentioned Kor, Fluttershy overcoming her anxieties, Rainbow Dash learning not to be so boastful, Twilight learning not to stress about things too much, etc. Although, now that I think about it, in some cases, it may be intentional. After all, even when we learn something, that doesn't guarantee it will always stick with us. So in some instances, maybe the writers intend to have the characters learn something they already have.

I think my favorite Spike episode would have to be Equestria Games. I could completely relate to Spike in this episode. I know firsthand how it feels to feel as if you're a total mess up who can't do anything right. I can't even count the number of times I've felt that way. Seeing Spike learn that no one was mad at him except for himself made me realize that it was pretty much the same for me. More often than not, even if I messed up on something, chances were that the only person upset with me was me.

Sorry, I was rambling a bit.

I found this episode to be rather mediocre, though I suppose that'll happen occasionally each season. I pretty much figured almost immediately that some of the early requests Spike made, like over that damaged water pipe, would ultimately backfire spectacularly. However, I will note that during the montage of Spike answering questions outside Twilight's room that he wasn't being a total "yes man", and that he actually denied a few ponies. This, to me, shows that he was at least smart enough to make somewhat reasonable decisions (at least, up until the point where the power started going to his head).

For anyone who reads the comics, I noticed something interesting about the first graphic novel cover for the Micro Series http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71TqokZ2qwL.jpg (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71TqokZ2qwL.jpg)

In the background, we've got the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Spike. However, notice that there's a pegasus hanging upside down above them? I wonder if there was going to be another micro comic involving this character and if so, who it was. Judging by the look of the mane and the fact that it's a pegasus, my money's on Derpy. What do you guys think?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Dino-Mario on June 23, 2015, 09:50:48 PM
Huh, I kinda have mixed feelings about this one. For one side, I do enjoy the whole summit concept, it's a good plot device for world building, as well as the utter cuteness of sleepy Twi. On the other hand, while the Aesop of the episode is important, I don't think they delivered it the right way. You see, none of the decisions Spike made when he got drunk with power and began misusing it were catastrophic. Sure, they were selfish, but did not have any lasting impact on the summit. Those which did cause things to go downhill, were made way before power got to his head, and at that moment he was more worried about Twilight sleeping peacefully, not to mention he didn't had experience to make decent choices.
Anyway, we'll stay tuned for Weird Al's return.

Post by: Malte279 on June 24, 2015, 06:39:08 AM
I think it is a bit of a pity that there is a tendency to let Spike act somewhat idiotic in many of the episodes focused on him. It is perfectly fine to let him maintain some of his weaknesses (the greed of a dragon for example and a rather understandable longing for recognition), but I wouldn't see him as so stupid as to (for example) ignore the repeated warnings about the water pipe especially after he already experienced that a well meant decision (to let those two ponies hold their presentations together) can lead to negative results.
In my head canon Spike is an experienced secratary to Twilight, loyal to a fault, highly motivated, well meaning and deserving of more credit than the mildly patronizing "he is so cute" which seems to be all he gets (with the notable exception of the Crystal Empire).
Moreover I think he got kind of a straight forward "down to earth" mentality which sometimes manifests into sarcasm but which above all may sometimes help to bring Twilight or any of the others back when they are out of their mind like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxS2nlasEFA).
Being the comic relief is part of his role, but I think the poor guy deserves a little better than being treated like a pet with special abilities.

I guess the writers like doing that to Spike for some reason.  When you look at it he's really not much younger then Twilight.  When he hatched she was a filly.  So likely he's only a few years younger then Twilight herself.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 27, 2015, 01:00:30 AM
Okay, first off, I want to express that I haven't watched the episode "Princess Spike" yet.  The main reason being that I just had this feeling from the start it wouldn't be good, and from the reviews, it seems my feelings may very well be well-founded. (It not getting a single preview was pretty much a red flag from the start.) Heck, if Malte's post is any indication, it seems he was out of character.  Which would make it right up there with "Party of One" and "Somepony to Watch Over Me" in just how bad the episode was. (At least for me anyways.)

As you might have guessed, it didn't inspire much new creativity.  Episode 100, Slice of Life, is still giving out inspiration.

Anyways, here's the marathons leading up to tomorrow's episode.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on June 27, 2015, 09:40:22 PM
I found this to be a rather amusing episode. Those yaks sure were quite an interesting group. "If things not perfect for yaks, yaks get very angry," and when yaks get angry, yaks smash! Everypony's attempts to appease the yaks... don't go perfectly, leaving Pinkie Pie's party the last hope left. She thought she could find the answer at the yaks' homeland, but it wasn't until she (uncontrollably) came back to Ponyville that she finally figured out that to please the yaks was not to try to make things like the yaks' homeland but to show what the ponies' homeland is like. I also liked how Pinkie's friends discovered that she has a "party cave" with files on just about every pony she knows.


On a personal note, before season 5 had even started, I had thought of some possible ideas of what could work as actual episodes, and today's new episode turned out to be remarkably similar to one of them (foreigner comes to Ponyville, Twilight and friends try to replicate foreigner's native culture, foreigner not happy with results, Twilight and friends eventually decide to instead share Equestria culture with foreigner, foreigner finally pleased). Obviously, many of the details were different, but still, I find it quite remarkable that I was able to roughly predict one of these episodes.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on June 27, 2015, 09:43:21 PM
This was for sure a better episode than last week's.

I thought the yaks were pretty annoying at first what with even the slightest thing being a trigger for them. The ending redeemed them for me quite a bit and honestly even brought a tear to my eye.It was also surprising to see Cherry Jubilee again.

Episodes revolving around Pinkie always bring out the best in her character. Whenever she's not the focus of an episode, it almost feels like a whole different character altogether (Filli Vanilli being a very big example). For her to go all the way across Equestria just to make those she doesn't even know happy really goes to show just what a lovable and kindhearted pony she is and it's for that reason that she's my second favorite character after Rainbow Dash. I hoped we get to see more of this Pinkie instead of Pinkie the joke machine.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Dino-Mario on June 30, 2015, 11:07:27 PM
Hmmm... let's see... the yaks are a bunch of condescending perfectionists who want everything to be exactly the way it is at their home, and while the Mane Six do their best to keep them comfortable, every single time something fails to meet their expectations, even in the slightest way... YAKS SMASH!!! Why does that sound familiar?

Jokes aside, this was a very decent episode, with more insight on the world building of Equestria and the races inhabiting it (complete with a new monster for the bestiary!). Glad to see yaks appearing, and while their overreactions are hilarious, they do raise a few questions about their culture. A shame we never get to see Yakyakistan in all its glory, albeit the way Pinkie travels toward it and (accidentally) goes all the way back to Equestria sliding is both epic and amusing (Pony Beatles FTW!). There are lots of other funny moments too, like all those freaky faces the ponies keep making and Twilight's phobia of quesadillas. (Who'd believe Celestia's most powerful apprentice is deathly afraid of a harmless cheese-based food?)

I am aware this episode does have its divisive elements. Not only the yaks themselves, but Pinkie's secret basement too. It's a touching way to show how much she truly cares for her friends, but it can also come off as rather creepy and stalkeriffic too. But overall it's an episode you won't regret watching.

I love FiM! Honestly when I first heard about it I shrugged it off as a "girly kids show". Sure I watched MLP when I was five but now...? Then someone introduced me to the character Discord and that sparked my interest. I watched "Return of Harmony", got hooked and the rest is history. It's safe to say I'm a brony now. :p I've really enjoyed (most of) season five so far and the newest episode sounds interesting. It'll be fun to revisit those ponies from Twilight's past.

Another nice episode with some good old world building. Interesting to see that Twilight's old home in Canterlot was literally left exactly the way it was when she left for Ponyville at the beginning of the very first episode. (I guess it shows that, at the time, Twilight had thought the whole Summer Sun Celebration preparation would've been just a one-time thing and had expected to return to Canterlot soon after, but then made new friends and somehow completely forgot about it.) We got to see a few certain background characters get more focus (though Lyra was notably absent from this old group of friends, but that could maybe because she already got some focus a few weeks ago). As for Moondancer, I have to say that she seems like an interesting look at what Twilight could've ended up like had Celestia not sent her to Ponyville. And of course, there were also some funny moments, such as Twilight being literally within the pages of a book, and that trail of books to lure Moondancer over to the party.

First off, happy fourth of July to everyone. Secondly, this was such a sweet episode! I was really surprised that Twilight's old home was left exactly as it was (I thought someone would have moved in by then). This episode does a very good job of showing just how far Twilight's come since the old days and Moondancer being an exact parallel to Twilight was a pretty nice twist. The ending was really heartwarming as well (although I do wish the rest of the Mane Six had tagged along, not just Pinkie).

I do wish Lyra could have shown up but, as Twilight's old friends said, she was living in Ponyville now so perhaps they didn't have time to contact her or she might have been busy.

I hope we get to see more of Twilight's Canterlot friends. It would be interesting to see them interact with her friends from Ponyville. Also, on a little side note, I don't know if anyone noticed but watch the opening scene where they're all having dinner and look at the top left. That mane look familiar to anyone?
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Dino-Mario on July 07, 2015, 09:10:45 PM
Oh man, that's got to be one of the cutests and bestest episodes in the season. Shows how much Twilight has changed as a character, and gives some more deep to the Canterlot unicorns she avoided in the first episode. Three more beloved background ponies now become perhaps part of the supporting cast and they were very adorable in the episode. What I specially liked the most were all those nods and references to the first episode, after all, FIM is know for its strong continuity and this does not disappoint, specially since it ties loose ends connected to Twi's past.

The character of Moondancer is rather interesting too. I know many criticize her design for being mostly a palette swap of unicorn Twilight wearing a messy sweater and glasses, but that further drives the point of what Twilight might have become had she never encountered the other Mane five. Plus, she's kinda cute too. Her breakdown at the climatic party was very emotional, and showcases how truly good is Larson at writing this kind of scenes.There are other equally tear jerking moments too. The flashback to Moondancer's party, seeing how much has Twilight and Spike's original home fallen into disrepair after they left for Ponyville is very depressing too, and even Spike's gift to Moondancer, while cute in itself, also serves as a reminder how antisocial Twilight used to be.
 Good to see our princess successfully making amends. Too bad Lyra never showed up, but I'm sure she was at Ponyville at the moment and already forgave Twilight as easily as Minuette, Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine. And Twilight's spell that allows her to enter books is gonna be lots of Fanfic fuel for the herd.
Yup, totally enjoyed this chapter. Oh, and we got a ponified Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6. And a Starlight Glimmer cameo! Villains need to have lunch too.
Anyway, have some insanely cute Minuette a.k.a Colgate

I love FiM! Honestly when I first heard about it I shrugged it off as a "girly kids show". Sure I watched MLP when I was five but now...? Then someone introduced me to the character Discord and that sparked my interest. I watched "Return of Harmony", got hooked and the rest is history. It's safe to say I'm a brony now. :p I've really enjoyed (most of) season five so far and the newest episode sounds interesting. It'll be fun to revisit those ponies from Twilight's past.
Well, welcome to the herd pal! It's always great to see new faces in the fandom. Indeed, Discord is epic. And your All Dogs go to Heaven avatar is awesome too. Hope you enjoy being part of the bronydom. :)

It was a very fun episode to watch.  I'm sure it's easy to assume there either wasn't time to bring in Lyra, or she was to busy to go to Canterlot in the few days they were watching Moonshine.

I do hope they appear and don't just vanish back to being background ponies.  

Moonshine does give us a glimpse of a what if of Twilight.  

It also reminds me of something I use to wonder now and then.  What if the ponies that wanted Twilight to go to a party, became part of the main 6 with the show set in Canterlot instead of Ponyville.  An alternate main 6 Set in Canterlot.

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while but I wanted to give you all a bit of insight into episode 100 since it seems you all enjoyed it so much ^_^
This info was at a panel at MLP-MSP

1.  First off and foremost, yes Derpy's official name is now Muffins.  It's so official that even though her name is never said, Hasbro had Larson go back and rewrite every instance of her name

2.  Amy Keating Rogers was the original writer for the script, but there were scheduling conflicts and she ended up getting switched with Larson for this one.

3.  Larson didn't actually want to be the one to write this episode but he did amazing with it.  

4.  Apparently Vinyl doesn't talk on the show.  In early versions of the script, she had lines but they were removed because... she doesn't talk (we weren't given a reason for this)

5.  The episode was originally just a few brony shoutouts and then they just decided to go big with it.

6.  The info that really floored me was that HASBRO was the one pushing the episode and telling DHX to add more brony stuff (so if anyone out there is complaining about too much fan service, it's actually Hasbro's fault)

7.  Early scripts didn't center around the wedding and the Vinyl and Octavia story was about Vinyl crashing at Octavia's and wrecking her couch, and going to buy a new couch for her (riveting!)

8.  Bonbon being a secret agent is an allusion to her various voices and appearances.

9.  Many scenes were cut including (but not limited to because I don't remember them all)Here's the video btw.  It's all very interesting:

From what I heard (and I cannot guarantee if this is true or not) they tried to hire Nowacking who has done an amazing job as a voice for Vinyl in fan videos such as this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZvGGGHekU4), but Nowacking refused since the conditions of the contract would have prohibited future participation in fan projects.

It's not Vinyl if i's not Nowacking doing the voice. I prefer Vinyl remains a mute since they can't get Nowacking.

^"Amending Fences" is, I think, derived from the expression "Mending Fences" "Building Bridges", those kind of things. It basically means that twilight is going to "AMEND" her relationships with her friends from Canterlot. When someone says, "Let's mend the fence" or something, it means that they're going to mend the relationship or fix the problem.

I hope this helped. :)

Some noteworthy reveals

Quote
Fluttershy has a brother. We will see him soon!

Quote
Apple Family stuff on the way, with Hearthswarming Eve episode on the way for it.

Quote
New character coming: Orchard Blossom. Meghan thinks shes hilarious

Some Q & A stuff

Quote
Q: Why can't vinyl speak?
A: She speaks through her music. Maybe she chooses not to speak. They like her as the pony of no words, because it makes her cooler

Quote
Q: Are there going to be more comics in season 6?
A: As long as people keep buyin them!

Quote
Q: What season are the CMC Getting their cutie marks?
A: When they deserve them. They asked if they want them to get their marks, and all the kids said yes.

There's more stuff provided on the link, including the return of a certain villain. I'm glad to hear that the comics will continue and I hope that sooner or later, the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally do get their cutie marks. The part about Fluttershy having a brother sounds rather interesting. How much you want to bet he'll be the exact opposite of his sister?

For those who haven't heard the news yet, today's episode marks a "mid-season finale". The rest of season 5 won't air until later this year (most likely after the upcoming 3rd Equestria Girls movie in a few months).

I have to admit though, they picked a good episode to end this first half of season 5 with. Apparently, Princess Luna still feels very ashamed of what she did as Nightmare Moon. Since much of this episode takes place during dreams, there were sure to be a lot of crazy and funny things (such as Rainbow Dash's idea of a nightmare :lol: ). And then things started going insane with that mega dream, with what I'd consider a level of fan-service that's second only to Slice of Life. Overall, an epic episode worthy of its place as a finale of sorts.

I have an urgent request to all users who are posting information about future or still rather current episodes or seasons etc. In this thread there are many posts which contain severe spoilers which may kill some of the fun for other bronies who would like to view new episodes etc. without any previous clue on what they will have to expect. There are some people who don't mind reading spoilers beforehand (and that's fine :)) but there are others for whom it is a severa annoyance to be subjected to spoilers which they would have rather avoided before watching an episode or whatever for themselves.
For that reason I ask everyone who posts information that could include spoilers to give a proper alert beforefand. If you post spoilers, please do it in the following format of a spoiler warning followed by some blank lines so people don't read it accidentally. Please observe the same formating if you are quoting from preceeding messages with the quote including spoilers:

SPOILER ALERT
__________








[insert spoiler here]
_____________












In case your message is mixed of spoiler and non-spoiler information, please write the non-spoiler information before the spoiler as there is a high risk of it going unnoticed by people who want to avoid spoilers if it is put after the spoiler section. I know other forums have spoiler windows which open up only if klicked, but sadly the GOF doesn't have that fancy feature, so we must make do with the alternative described above.
In case you read information that includes spoilers on other sites, please do not copy paste that text here. Instead post a link to the page here with the note that the page the linke refers to includes spoilers.

Maybe different colored text so some can skip past it.

Overall I did like the episode.  It was fun to watch and had some humorous and funny scenes.  And I do understand about Spoilers.  With MLP:FIM I prefer, like happened to me with this episode.  I went into it not knowing anything about it, not even the episode title.  That is always the best, I think.

I do wonder how long we have to wait till the next episode.

Sorry for not minding the issue of spoilers. :(  I guess that with so many people watching a new episode right on the day it airs, I had simply gotten used to thinking that it was unnecessary. From now on, what I'll do is post spoilers in black text, since this site has a dark background. People who don't want to see them won't be able to, and those who do want to see then will just need to highlight the text. This sentence is a test of the method I just described. Would that be okay with everyone?

Edit: Well, that didn't work. I'm certain I've seen people do it here before, so could someone please tell me how to do it properly?

Edit 2: Thanks, Malte. Now it's working. :)

Note:  Will edit post as I go!

Season 5 Episode 10 - Princess Spike - Not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but still bad.

Season 5 Episode 11 - Party Pooped - Very enjoyable and quite funny!  One of Pinkie's Best Episodes!

Season 5 Episode 12 - Amending Fences - Very well done sad episode.  Has a happy ending, but ended up breaking my heart at some points. :(

Yes, it works.

My, that sure was amazing! Quite an improvement over Sonneborn's previous chapters. There are lots of good things to talk about this episode. It seems like a thousand years of imprisonment in the moon wasn't enough for Luna to bear, which led to the creation of the Tantabus, so she could punish herself for all the evil she committed as Nightmare Moon. This makes her one of the most complex characters in the show. And each time she felt down and guilty, we all wanted to reach throughout the screen and give her a great hug. No doubt about it.
The dream sequences are very brilliant too and some are quite hilarious, even if they become nightmares (like RD's, a truly funny take that against overly cute child's programming) But the best sequence is indeed the climatic dream battle against the Tantabus involving ALL of Ponyville. Lots of awesome stuff! (Princess Big Mac, Flutterbat, Giant Derpy...)
The Tantabus itself is a very threatening and effective villain, and has a cool design to booth. Specially when it becomes a giant monstrous, pony-shaped creature. It's like an alicorn version of the Forest Spirit of Princess Mononoke. Quite Lovecraftian, and a formidable mid season boss. Totally loved this episode.
It's quite a shame we have to go through another hiatus, but it'll hopefully be less tedious this time.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on July 16, 2015, 01:31:47 AM
I'm pretty late in sharing my thoughts on this episode. Ponyception. It's a pony within a pony.

First I have to ask why we're getting a mini hiatus in between the first and second halves of the season? They never did this with previous seasons of pone. I know season three had mini hiatuses in between episodes but that was usually just a week in between.

Anyway, this was a really fun episode. Some great character development for Princess Luna and it's neat getting to see the mane six's nightmares (Rainbow Dash's was by far the scariest. Brrr). I also liked how all of Ponyville had a hand in stopping the tantabus. Some of the dreams the other ponies have are quite hilarious and for some (Scootaloo for instance) pretty heartwarming.

The tantabus was a pretty cool and surprisingly threatening villain. I was surprised that a one shot villain managed to be so dangerous. Usually the one shot villains were either ridiculously incompetent (the diamond dogs) or acting sorely on instinct (the parasprites). Also, on a final note, Big Mac is best princess! Sorry Luna but that title's been given to another.

A leaked episode list (http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/04/rumor-questionable-season-5-episode.html) shows that an upcoming episode is called Scare-Master, which is a Halloween Episode, and they don't want to do things out of order.

Some predict that the TV-airing of the new Equestria Girls Movie, Friendship Games, will mark the end of the hiatus.  The movie is set to air on September 26th and will go straight to DVD and Blu-Ray on October 13th.  So around that is the predicted time it will end.

Remember, this is all speculation though.  We'll see. :)

Oh, we got a Halloween episode coming? I only skimmed through the list and didn't see that there was a Halloween episode in there. Thanks for clearing that up, Pokeplayer.

It's too bad the new Equestria Girls won't be theatrical. Then again, I didn't get to see the first one or Rainbow Rocks when they were in theaters so I guess it doesn't really matter to me anyway. Which reminds me, I need to watch Rainbow Rocks again. I still haven't done a review of it on my DA journal.

EDIT: I just noticed I got the 5,200th post on here! Nice!

Post by: pokeplayer984 on July 18, 2015, 12:38:35 AM
^^I do want to state again that this is all speculation on my part.  It is a wonder to me why they are doing a mid-season hiatus.  You'd think they would avoid something like this, especially since other companies like Nickelodeon have been giving such a practice a bad name.  They could've just easily made their Halloween and Christmas episodes specials and run the rest of the season as normal.  According to my calculations, if they didn't miss a week, they'd air the two-part season finale just before the new Equestria Girls Movie would air. (Then again, that is a tall order.)

Anyways, I finally got around to watching the latest episode.  I really enjoyed it and felt it ended on more than a satisfying note.  However, I will admit that Rainbow Dash's nightmare kind of creeped me out.

The episode did make Luna a more sympathetic character.  I mean, how bad of a thing did she do back then?  Yeah, she wanted the night to last forever, but what other crimes did she commit that made her believe she did not deserve forgiveness?  To the point where she created something to punish herself when no one would?  This Tantabus creature brings up a lot of questions.  Ones I don't know if I want the answer to.

Well, time to wait for the new episodes.

See ya later! :wave

My opinion on this episode (blackened to avoid spoilers):

I think this was a very solid episode. It didn't inspire me as much as some others from season five, but it also didn't have anything bad about it. After some minutes I had some expectations where it would be going and while some expectations turned true (I expected Sassy Sadles to end up in charge of the boutique in Canterlot and for Rarity to return to Ponyville), other expectations did not (I thought that the focus would be a choice between living your dream in Canterlot on the one and not moving away from your friends on the other end). I think that the problem they came up with was more original and better to solve. The mass production without creativity (one of Rarity's very likeable qualities) element is something I had not foreseen. There have been previous episodes (mostly about Rainbow Dash) in which the matter of moving away from friends to live ones life's dream might have been addressed, but I think that it may be a good thing they didn't focus on that. The risk with such a focus is that it might end up with either a "deus ex machina" solution (along the lines of bringing the previously not available means for the lifedream to ponyville) or else with a moral that would have a somewhat bitter "life's dreams OR friends, you can't have both!" kind of moral that would really not sit well with many I think.
On a sidenote, I found some of the other dresses from Raritie's collection much better looking than the one inspired by the stained glass window ;)

Post by: The Chronicler on September 12, 2015, 08:30:40 PM
(spoilers)
I'm pretty sure a lot of people had expected the moral of this episode to be following dreams vs staying with friends, so I'm glad to see that it was actually about mass production vs individuality. To me, the most significant moment was when Rarity refused to go along with the idea of an assembly line and Sassy Saddles feared being "part of another failed boutique". That latter statement made me quickly realize two key factors that led to the (almost) closing of Canterlot Boutique: 1, Sassy's business model is clearly a rather poor one, and 2, Rarity had immediately hired her simply because she had been "involved with every boutique in Canterlot" without looking into how well her record really was. Regardless, both Rarity and Sassy understood what went wrong, and were able to keep the boutique open after learning from their mistakes.

I actually thought the same thing Malte.

Before I share my thoughts on this episode, I don't know how to blacken the spoilers so if you don't want to know what happens, then don't go any further. Also, if someone could show me what they did to blacken the spoilers then I'll be sure to do so.























I thought this was a pretty good episode. Like Malte, I was expecting Sassy to end up taking over the boutique. I was also expecting her to end up becoming the antagonist of the episode after she tries to show up Rarity a couple times in the beginning of the episode. I thought she would end up becoming this season's Suri Polomare (Probably spelled her first name wrong) and try to claim the boutique as hers.

I completely understood where Rarity was coming from in how Rarity didn't want to create if it meant making your creations part of an assembly line. And while the princess dress was nicely designed, I did like the other ones better.

Also, was I the only one who noticed that Cadence didn't get a dress made in her honor? What, Twilight, Celestia, and Luna get dresses but not Cadence? The heck, Rarity?

REVIEW POST!  HIGHLIGHT TO READ THIS SPOILER VERSION!

First off I have to say this.  Despite the fact she redeemed herself, I STILL hate Sassy Saddles. (In fact, I hate her so much, a part of me is refusing to remember her name to the point where I had to copy & paste it from someone's post just to put it on here.  Don't be surprised if I don't say her name from here.) I'm sorry to the "fans" out there, but I really HATE individuals like this.

Okay, with that out of the way, it was a good episode.  It didn't go in the direction I was expecting from the summary and I liked it for that reason.  People would think "living your dreams vs. being with your friends" would end up being the lesson, but rather it was "assembly line business vs. individuality business".  Both have their strengths and weaknesses.  However, the idea of individuality has the advantage of always having something new and fresh.  It's one of the things that ensures customers keep coming back instead of going to the cheapest place when everyone has the same thing.  It's why the pony that worked with Rarity kept failing.  Because once someone else had it and put it up for a cheaper price, customers would go there instead. (Oh, what do you know?  I already forgot her name. :D ) However, it seems that this individual will be running the new boutique while Rarity continues showing off her newest creations.  We won't be seeing as much of her as we used to.

Okay, so what's the next one.  Rainbow Dash is framed for a crime and Rarity has to save her.

Just a note to everyone, the Halloween one was next in line, but it's been moved to October.

See ya all next week. :wave

Well, another righteous reward for surviving this lesser pony drought. That was a pretty decent episode. It's nice to see Rarity getting quite some episodes for herself after being negated the first whole half of the season. And it was great to see achieving her dream of a boutique, even if it was just for a while. But the dresses she made are gorgeous nonetheless (even if the business didn't turn out as she had hoped). Yeah, the twist in Sassy Saddles' character feels a bit forced, but was an alright addition. Kinda adds more perspective to her, but it was truly sweet from Rares to not fire Sassy despite having full reason to (And Sassy sure deserved getting sent back to Trottingham) She truly is the element of generosity after all. She may not have a boutique in Canterlot anymore, but she's got an employee, so that's just alright.
Fatty pony FTW

LIVE STREAM POST!

For today's episode, Rainbow Dash is in a lot of trouble.

Summary: Rarity must save Rainbow Dash from a crime she did not commit.

Yes, this is all I can find.  I guess they want to keep it a mystery of what Rainbow Dash is accused of until it airs.  I'm hoping for us to see more of the inner workings of how Ponyville's justice system works, but we'll see.

Here's the link to the Live Streams for today.

REVIEW POST!

Got done watching it, now for my review of Rarity Investigates.  Highlight to read.  Be warned, it contains SPOILERS!

I will admit that the summary I got kind of exaggerated things.  While sending someone away (Spitfire being told her mom was sick in this case.) just so you can be in the show isn't a crime per-say, it was something punishable enough to end Rainbow Dash's dreams of being with the Wonderbolts someday.  It is obvious how much they recognize her skills if she was chosen as top replacement.  Anyways, thing is, I find it disappointing that Rainbow Dash was accused all on the assumption of a senior member. (Who was obviously the culprit from the start.) If there was some sort of evidence at the start that pointed to her, I would have let the accusation made on her slide.  Even an eye witness account would have helped.  That sadly all came during the investigation.  Let's talk about that now, shall we?

There is an obvious old time reference here with how it was done, but I can't put my finger on it.  Anyways, it wasn't looking good for Rainbow Dash with the evidence they found.  I mean, seriously, who else that was there has a rainbow mane?  I'm surprised Rainbow Dash didn't realize part of her hair was snipped like that.  It also didn't help that the guards saw her go into the same wing as Spitfire.  However, I will give credit where credit is due.  Rarity putting on the charm to make the guards tell her about something that's obviously meant to be kept a secret, was pretty well done.  I don't blame them for spilling the beans like that.  It probably would've worked on most men, myself included. :oops

Anyways, leads them to the cake shop that is the only one in town with the type of cake the guards were given. (It did sound good to be honest.  Don't blame them for taking an unscheduled break to eat it.) However, the one who bought it was in disguise, (and obviously trying to hide their voice) but Rarity is given a big clue.  One that but all points to... the guy who was introduced for this episode.  His reason?  Rainbow Dash was close to breaking his record.

You know, if you wanted to ruin her chances there were other ways to do it.  Heck, even framing her for theft would've been better.  All I'm saying is to have a little creativity here.

Anyways, Rainbow Dash goes and finds Spitfire and the two make it back in time.  Having been told everything, Spitfire strips the senior member who framed Rainbow of his Wonderbolts status. (Her position does allow her to do that.) With that guy out of the show, Rainbow Dash gets to take his place and fly with the Wonderbolts.

Oh, and Rarity, do your best to not think out loud like that.

Anyways, good episode and all, but it could've been better.  I'm sure for a number of fans, Sexy Rarity helped. (Not me, though. :P: )

Anyways, next week we have the premire of Equestria Girls: Friendship Games!  Also, Twilight is their opponent! (It is obvious it's the human one from the preview I saw.)

Also, an episode of Rarity and Applejack solving a friendship problem that involves Coco Pommel.

See ya later for my Online Episode Post! :wave

Man, good thing Spike wasn't with Rarity or Rainbow Dash. I don't think he'd be able to take seeing Rarity seduce so many men  :lol

This was a really fun episode. I loved the noire angle and Rarity makes for a much better detective than Pinkie (no offense to ol' Pink). It was pretty obvious from the beginning who the culprit was but it was still an enjoyable mystery.

(spoilers)
I really liked how this episode started right in Canterlot Carousel with Rarity and Sassy Saddles, a form of mid-season immediate continuity that I don't think has been seen since Zecora was introduced back in Season 1. Also, as far as I'm aware, the two main characters featured in this episode (Rarity and Rainbow Dash) is one of the least seen interactions among all six of the main characters, so it's actually nice to finally see those two working together on something. For the investigation itself, I will say that I did catch some of the clues (such as the loose curtain) but not quite enough for me to figure it out as quickly as Rarity did. And as for Wind Rider being stripped of his Wonderbolt status after he was exposed as the culprit, that just goes to show that even in retirement, a famous athlete can still lose a lot of his credibility when he is discovered doing something terrible.
(end spoilers)

I definitely can't wait to see Friendship Games next weekend. But since I don't get that channel at my house and I'd rather not take chances with a live stream, I'll just wait until the day after to see if it's up on YouTube or some other video site. At least the fact that it's premiering on TV instead of in the movie theater means that I won't have to wait nearly as long to see it as I did with the previous Equestria Girls movies.

REVIEW POST!

So first off, Summary.

Summary: Fluttershy has to face her fears when she forgets to stock up for Nightmare Night.

Now, for the spoiler version.  Highlight to read. :)

There's both good and bad points to mention with this one.

So, Fluttershy is the type that would stock up for this holiday and just stay at home.  However, she forgets food for Angel and is forced to go out and get some.  Anyways, so she goes out and it becomes obvious just how much it scares her.  She even takes refuge under a cart full of hay that Big Mac and Granny Smith are at.  Let's just say that Granny Smith unwillingly scares the wits out of Fluttershy.

She then heads to the castle in the hopes of getting some food from Twilight.  However, Spike scares Fluttershy just from his shadow.  BTW, he's wearing a dinosaur costume and is failing at putting it on right. (It's an Apatosaurus if you must know.  Is my mind saying LBT inspiration here?  Maybe I'm stretching here.) As a result, he looks like a two-headed creature of sorts.  Anyways, the important thing here is that he convinces Fluttershy to join them for their Nightmare Night festivities.

Anyways, what the rest of them are doing is telling scary stories when Fluttershy accidentally scares them.  She then tells them that she's going to join them and even references Filli Vanilli where she had to face her fear of singing in front of an audience.  Of course her friends are quite happy about this.

We then go to Rarity's boutique where Rarity is helping Fluttershy pick out a costume.  BTW, Rarity is dressed up as a merpony.  Probably the closest we'll get to seeing one. (Seriously Hasbro, give us an episode with a real one!) *ahem* Anyways, to make Fluttershy comfortable, they all go with something that isn't scary.  Along with Spike as a dinosaur and Rarity as a merpony, we have Applejack as a lion, Twilight as a member of Celestia's Royal Guard, Rainbow as an astronaut and I don't know what the heck Pinkie is supposed to be.  Fluttershy decides to go as a marionette without the mask. (Though I think she would look good with the mask.)

They then head to Pinkie's to play some non-scary Nightmare Night games.  Like Pin-the-horn-on-Nightmare-Moon.  Or Bobbing for Apples.  Or a Favorite Candy Party.  However, Fluttershy gives sort of not that great of reasons to participate in any of them.  The rest of them want to get to the scary stuff, but Fluttershy isn't willing to participate.  Twilight then gives her the idea to be the one scaring others so she can face her fears.  Not a bad idea really.  She then tells them to meet her at her cottage.

Let's just say that it doesn't go well.  In fact, her attempt at scaring her friends is downright embarrassing and I had a hard time watching it.  It was meant to be a spooky tea party, but her attempts at scaring are just horrible.  Now, when you do something this bad, it's a good idea to redeem the character.  Which they do.

After her friends leave in disappointment, Angel convinces her to try again.  She asks if Angel has any scary ideas... and he does.

We then cut to the corn maze that the Apple Family planned.  The six (this is without Fluttershy and Spike included) then get scared with smiles on their faces for a bit.  We have someone scary at the entrance, Big Mac as a mummy, a place for them to walk on bones and eyeballs in a cave.  However, then something zooms behind them and scares them.  They then get chased by ghosts around the maze.  The six then run to a tree where they fall down a hole that gets sealed up.  Nice.

They try to keep a cool head, but Applejack admits that she knows nothing about what's going on.  They then see Granny Smith in the distance, but when they get close, they find it to be a skeleton pony whose head comes off and scares them.  They then meet a fish monster and run from that.  As they are being chased, they get caught in a web.  One that is practically like glue.  After a bit of tension of the fish monster getting closer, Twilight teleports them out of the web and the fish monster gets trapped in it.  They take this chance to escape.

They make it out of the cave, but find that it leads to a ledge that oversees the corn maze.  That is when Flutterbat returns!  She then starts swooping down and scaring them quite a bit.  However, she then notices just how terrified they are and reveals that it was just a costume she was wearing.  You know, it looked quite convincing in the dark.  I really thought she had reverted back to Flutterbat there.

She then reveals that the one who spooked them in the maze was Angel, the ghosts were just birds with sheets over them, the web was made by a spider and her bear friend was wearing the fish monster costume.  Her friends are quite amazed by it and tell her it was the best scare they ever had and feel she should do this every Nightmare Night.  However, Fluttershy realizes that scaring others is something she doesn't like to do and actually enjoys Nightmare Night with her animal friends in her home safe and sound.

She does admit she does have fun times with her pony friends, but admits that this is one thing they won't do together.  We end with Fluttershy in her hiding place under her bed, surrounded by her animal friends.

All-in-all, a great episode.  One I'm glad I got to see early.  In fact, I say the writers couldn't have done much better with this one.  When it comes out Halloween, it'll definitely be worth it.

That's all from me and I'll see ya later! :wave

First choose either 720p or 1080p, then go under the "downloads" or "torrents" heading to get the files.  They're all the same quality so you won't have a huge collection of higher and lower quality episodes.  Through the "downloads" links, you'll download the files from MegaUpload, which is the fastest way to get the files.

You bet there's going to be Live Streams of it along with uploads to various sites.  Now, I will not be able to see it when it premieres due to work.  I'll likely have to watch it Sunday and give my thoughts then.

So, without further ado, here's the link for the marathons leading up to the airing of tomorrow's episode and the new movie.

REVIEW POST!

Really, not a bad episode.  They knew what to do and how to do it right.  Plenty of surprises and references in this one.

That's the short version.  Time for the SPOILER VERSION below.  Highlight to read.

If anything, I feel sorry for Twilight.  She is bored of reading.  No joke on that.  However, she wants to do something.  She doesn't feel like reading.  That's the thing to understand.  Anyways, Applejack and Rarity get summoned to Manehatten by the map, leaving behind a bored Twilight.  You know, I hope she just decides to go out and do something.  Anything to get rid of boredom.

Applejack shows she is not used to the big city.  She even has trouble crossing the street.  Rarity tries to quickly find the problem and solve it, even doing a Peanuts reference.  However, the problem finds them, in the form of a flyer pointing to Coco Pommel wanting to do a revival of sorts.

Turns out, what Coco wants to do is put on an old play from her childhood that was quite dear to her.  She hasn't been able to get any volunteers to help set up the play.  Rarity and Applejack try to help, but become VERY unsuccessful.

Coco, however, was able to get a few ponies to play the parts, but the outdoor location chosen is a mess, and THAT is putting it lightly.  For starters, there's weeds EVERYWHERE!  Old trees that need to be removed, vines that cover the statues and let's just say the stage has seen better days.  Yeah, it's a disaster.

Applejack decides to get to work while Rarity helps Coco fix up the costumes.  It doesn't go well for Applejack.  She even accidentally destroys her signature hat.  Well, we all believe that meant something to her.

She's busy fixing up the stage when Rarity and Coco return.  Obviously, she's done all she can, but is a LONG way from being done.  At least the costumes are ready.  Just in time too, as the ponies who will be in the play arrive.  Telling you now, terrible accents.  However, the stage isn't ready yet, which is indicated by a pony getting onto the stage and Applejack having to save her as it gives way.

Obviously, the stage won't be ready in time and the whole thing will have to be canceled.  Coco is understandably upset about this.  Rarity and Applejack start discussing why the country pony was called here in the first place.  There's no way she could fix up the park in time for the play and they start thinking of anyway they can put on the show.  Applejack gets an idea.

The idea?  Keep it simple.

They set up a small wooden stage with a red curtain in front of the park and put on the play.  As they do the play, ponies of many different lives stop by and stay to watch it.  By the end, they have a whole crowd for it.  Oh, hi there, Dinky!  Is Derpy visiting too?  Please search the crowd for her.  There's even a senior pony who makes her way to the front.

The play ends and the cast take a bow.  They congratulate Coco, whom is then carried onto the stage and gives a small speech, thanking Rarity and Applejack for their help.

Ponies congratulate them and promise to do what they can to fix up the park.  Rarity and Applejack's cutie marks glow, indicating a job well done.

All in all, a good episode that was done right.

Next up, we have Big Mac taking Applejack's place for the Sisterhooves Social Games.  That should be good.

Have to head to work now.  See ya tomorrow when I give my review for the new movie.

See ya later! :wave

First of all, I will not be watching the episode that was leaked earlier this week. I prefer to wait until the day it is meant to be made available. (I guess you could call it an influence from BZPower.com's no-leak policy.) Thank goodness we now use black text for spoilers, because that is one spoiler I do not want at this time.

Now that that's out of the way, on to today's new episode.
(spoilers)
This episode had quite an interesting message in that even the smallest of efforts can make a significant difference in a neighborhood. It was nice to see the return of one of the minor characters introduced in the previous season, Coco Pommel (though it seems her last name is pronounced differently than I had remembered). I'd like to point out that when Applejack accidentally damaged her hat, it actually stayed damaged for the rest of the episode, until Rarity was generous enough to purchase a replacement, so that's another cartoon cliche neatly avoided. Also, I found that Charlie Brown reference very amusing, not just Rarity saying "good grief," but also that pony walking by who wore a Charlie Brown shirt (albeit green instead of yellow).
(end spoilers)

Since my house doesn't get the channel it'll be on, I won't be able to watch Friendship Games tonight. In addition, I'd rather not take any chances with streams, and since it will likely take a few hours to be uploaded on YouTube or some other video site, I won't have a chance to watch it until tomorrow. I suppose I can accept that, considering that I didn't get a chance to watch the previous Equestria Girls movies until at least a few months after they first premiered in the movie theater.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on September 26, 2015, 09:07:36 PM
I'm pretty sure Coco's name is still pronounced the same way. It didn't seem any different to me.

The Cutie Map returns! I love the episodes that have to do with the Cutie Map. It's a great plot device that I hope will get more use throughout the series. I like that we get to see Coco again but while Rarity and Applejack were in Manehattan, all I could think about was when are they going to visit Babs? Not necessarily in this episode but whenever they visit Manehattan? They've been there twice and not once has Babs been seen.

I found the message in this episode and the theme of a neighborhood coming together to help out really touching. I certainly wasn't expecting that to be the big message. I also liked that AJ's hat doesn't get magically fixed by the next scene. That actually surprised me a bit as I'm so used to a cartoon character's damaged clothing magically fix itself up within a scene or two. Nice attention to detail on the animators' part. Also, did anyone else notice that when the ponies are all watching the play, they're sitting in the road? Isn't that kind of...well dangerous, not to mention obstructing traffic? I know it's a cartoon but still  :lol

Another fun episode.

EDIT: YAY! I've finally figured out how to make my text black! Thanks to Pokeplayer for showing me!

The link was the 480 version on Equestria Daily's stream page, though that link unfortunately has since been removed in favor of a higher quality (but not the Canadian uncut) version. Luckily, the video appears to still be up today, so I decided to watch it a couple more times. I've been unable to find a higher quality version, but that's okay, because all I care about is being able to watch the whole thing.

That was a neat episode! Much needed interaction between Rarity and Rainbow Dash, and a rather positive one at that! The two ponies may be different but are great pals nonetheless. Rares proved herself to be an awesome detective. After all, those who work with fashion have a great eye for details. Oh, and Sassy's back real soon. Dat continuity. And she's doing a great job as a business partner.
I really liked how they handled the film noir elements, even going deliberately monochrome in certain scenes. Needless to say, Wind Rider totally got what he deserved. I'm specially fond of how Soarin' was like. Even if Spitfire's not around, he's a competent authority on his own. And more Wonderbolt members!
Mmm, Rarity is a fan of detective Shadow Spade's novels, huh? Could she be as popular as Daring Do?
Also, those ponified Sherlock, Wadson and Moriarty... sweet. And that jazz version of the end credits was amazing.


Made in Manehattan was adorable. Nice to see Coco returning, And when we thought she couldn't get any cuter, we get glimpses of her filly life! Hnnnghh...
So, Twilight is bored of her skull with reading huh? Don't worry Twi, pretty sure you'll get a mission soon. And it's great to see all the Manehattan ponies coming to see the Midsummer Festival an having a good time while getting along. The moral was handled decently. Oh, and that Peanuts reference sure was a neat touch. Rarity and AJ are always amusing when together and they certainly did not disappoint. I shall post my thoughts on the movie later on.

I decided to do a little searching on Dailymotion (because videos there tend to stay up longer), and it looks like someone just recently managed to upload the Canadian uncut version (though quality is still at 480). At this time, only the first half of the movie is up, so you might want to wait a bit for the second half to appear as well.

For those of you wondering what was cut out in the US TV version, there's a scene of Twilight and Principal Cinch just after Twilight meets Sunset and the others, and the credits have a song and pictures (some of them quite funny) supposedly taken throughout the events of the movie. I'm sure these scenes will be included in the DVD being released in two weeks, so until then, it looks like the best you'll get is the video I just found.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 01, 2015, 03:20:45 PM
^^One of the things I have found is that the uncut version doesn't skimp out on the credits and reveals a spoiler of the last episode of Season 5.

I have finally gotten around to finishing the movie. (Sorry, "Animal Crossing - Happy Home Designer" is quite addicting.) However, I don't have time right now to give my thoughts on it.  I will say the following though.

There's a certain principal you're going to be hating after this and she's meant to be hated.

For now, I have to head for work.

REVIEW POST!

Okay, this one was... intriguing.  Ugh!  This is one that makes me feel uneasy.  I really felt bad for Big Mac, but I feel he was going about it all the wrong way.  At least we get a good ending with this one.

To be honest, I can't see this as a great episode.  Decent, but not great.  It at least gave Big Mac the character development the big guy sorely needed.  Which I think is a good thing.

No spoiler version today.  I really don't want to go into detail with this one.

Okay, fine!  I'll give one spoiler!  Highlight to read it!

Crossdressing is done as a joke.  It doesn't feel like one here.

Okay, I'm really done now.  See ya all for the Online Post. :wave

To be completely honest, this was one of my least favorite episodes of all, and I'd rather not go into any details. To me, the only part that made this episode even worth watching was near the ending when Big Mac confesses his thoughts and feelings to Apple Bloom, such as how Applejack is the hero of the family while he's just down at the farm every day.
(end spoilers)

I'd like to mention that of the three Equestria Girls movies, Friendship Games has definitely become my favorite. I've actually watched it almost every day for the past week. Even though I think it makes a great way to end a trilogy, I certainly wouldn't mind if we see a new one next year.

REVIEW ON FRIENDSHIP GAMES POST!!

So, here is my review for Equestria Girls: Friendship Games.  This is a really, really good movie.  For me, despite the backlash it might get from some fans, (Mostly because it takes place in a high school setting.) the series of the Equestria Girls movies just keeps getting better and better, and keep in mind, I liked the first one.  Rainbow Rocks was better, and despite how good that was, Friendship Games somehow topped it.  I'll try not to spoil too much for this one, but I make no guarantees.

This one took things at a slightly different angle.  For one thing, there's not a single scene where Twilight from the pony world appears. (Well, except the ending after the conflict is resolved.) Instead, we have Twilight's human counterpart pretty much hogging most of the movie.  On top of that, the heroes don't go up against the real villain, but rather those that are corrupted by the villain and one that is forced by the villain.  Yeah, Twilight's human counterpart is not really the villain here.

The real villain here is Principal Cinch of Crystal Prep.  I seriously HATE this woman.  Even with understanding that she's the real villain, I hate her.  There were times in this movie that I wanted to go in there and kick her butt.  That's how much I hate her.  She pretty much corrupts her students into believing that winning is the only thing that matters, mainly because winning is the only way to keep up their reputation now.  As for with Twilight, Principal Cinch blackmails Twilight by telling her that if she doesn't compete in the Friendship Games, then her application to the school she wants to go to will be denied.

Finally, we have a Magic Containment Device that Twilight made and that she can't really control.  Mainly because it's doing what it was programmed to do.  As a result, this device causes tears between the two worlds to appear whenever it steals magic from the main cast.  They disappear when the device stops taking the magic, but it's obvious just how dangerous it is.

This is the main bulk of the story.  Twilight is forced to play in the Friendship Games and her device steals the magic of the main cast whenever they "pony up" as they call it.  Heck, there's even times that show that she really wants to have a good time with this whole thing, but her device just causes problems.  She's really not a bad person and you really feel sorry for what is happening to her.

All of this thing of stealing and containing the magic comes to a climatic fight ending when Principal Cinch and the students of Crystal Prep force Twilight to unleash the magic.  She becomes this being that has been dubbed "Midnight Sparkle", and she looks awesome!

In this climax, Sunset Shimmer becomes her own version to fight back,

Click Here to be Spoiled! (http://pre01.deviantart.net/497d/th/pre/f/2015/273/a/2/daydream_shimmer_by_zuko42-d9b51pm.png)

and the two duke it out in one of the most epic battles I've seen.

It ends with the two firing beams of light at one another and Sunset only wins because Twilight gets distracted and comes to her senses thanks to Spike.  In the end, Sunset offers her hand of friendship to Twilight and she takes it.  This ends their transformations and sets everything back the way it was before this all started.

However, there is one change now, the Twilight of the human world will be going to Canterlot High and is now friends with the main cast.

I think that's all I want to spoil.  I did enjoy it quite a bit and the songs were good and enjoyable.  Then again, nothing here beats "Shine Like Rainbows" from the last movie, which has become my favorite song of the pony series, period.

This was a good movie and I'll definitely buy it when it comes out on Blu-ray later this month.

That's all from me.

See ya later! :wave

Just finished watching Brotherhooves Social. I liked that Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo finally got some recognition as "sisters" and I thought it was pretty sweet that the Sisterhooves Social's idea of a sister is basically someone you're close to and see as family. That's how I've often looked at my closest friends. Not simply as friends, but more like siblings.

Big Mac in drag was quite a sight to behold if not a little gross (not saying crossdressing is gross mind you). The voice he used as Apple Bloom's cousin was pretty hysterical and I was pretty surprised that the other ponies didn't notice "Cousin Apple Orchard" was a stallion during the singing competition. Really? None of them noticed the deep voice or the very visible Adam's Apple?

The scene at the end was my favorite part of the whole episode. It was just so beautiful and touching and yes, I teared up during it. I loved that Apple Bloom assured Big Macintosh that even though she might not always show it, Big Mac will always be one of her heroes. I think that was one of the sweetest moments in the whole show.

A great, fun episode. One of my favorites from season five. I hope Big Mac gets some more episodes in the future.

Poor Big Mac... He just wants to be more special. Anyway, what I liked the most about this episode was the sweet interaction between Mac and AB, as well as the lengths he's willing to go to show her he can be a hero on his own... Even if it means cross dressing in a truly hilarious manner, heh heh heh... Anyway, the episode had a heartwarming ending, and added more depth for Big Mac's character.

On brotherhooves social:
As a matter of fact they DID notice, Animeboye. The way it is presented I don't think Big Mac's crossdressing actually fooled anypony (except perhaps for that elderly judge). The CMCs, and Rainbow Dash clearly say so to Big Mac before the games even start and the judge who disqualifies Apple Bloom and Big Mac also leaves no doubt about the fact that they had seen through this from the beginning:

Apple Bloom: I should've known you'd eventually get busted for bein' a stallion!
Judge:Oh, no, we've known all along. The Sisterhooves Social has always had a loose policy when it comes to what counts as a "sister". But we do have a strict policy when it comes to sportsponyship! In your "sister's" desperation to win, he used brute strength to physically take out the competitors. Uh, that kind of behavior is not just unbecoming of a lady, but quite frankly, of anypony! And for that, you two are hereby disqualified!

I think it is a nice sign for a very open minded and liberal Equestria that ponies didn't just call Big Mac out for this from the start but probably viewed it the way Sweetie Belle summed it up:

Sweetie Belle: It's sweet he wants to help you out like this. Weird, but sweet.

Many of the looks Big Mac got were quite priceless though :lol

I think the episode did quite a good job in combining sensitive matters (like how much it bothered Big Mac that he was not looked up to, even ignored by his little sister anymore) with some really hillarious scenes. Also I think it was a very good decision that they were discqualified (after Big Mac) went all bulldozer mode rather than declared winners. Not winning made Apple Bloom's rediscovered appreciation for her brother a lot more powerful.
 

On Friendhip Games
In general I don't really warm up to the Equestria Girls films. I'm not saying that they were poorly made, and it is clear that the makers put a lot of effort into letting everyone of the main characters have a scene to shine. But there was almost nothing surprising or unexpected in the film. Villains always seem to have evil tatooed all over their faces. This of course is something that MLP can be accused of too, but I would really enjoy a subtle villain for a change, one who comes across as friendly and likeable until in some utterly unexpected act of treason or the like he or she drops the mask.
Also I think that Sunset Shimmer is becoming a little too much of a Mary Sue. She acts almost perfect all the time rather than sporting any of the hilarious flaws or quirks which every one of the other main characters has. True, she does always try to ask for advise from Twilight, but that too comes across as modesty rather than the kind of insecurity that could be viewed as a flaw and true, she does loose her temper with that world's Twilight at one point (but only after she endangered everyone and Sunset Shimmer immediately regrets). Maybe one could bring up some other points against my view here (I pray you do), but I feel she has become the closest we got to a Mary Sue in this franchise.
Also I think when that world's Twilight was corrupted for a moment and tried to tear open the border between the worlds one could have made it all A LOT more powerful with just a little change in the motives of "evil Twilight". In the movie all she gives as a motive is greed for the powerful magic in equestria. How much more powerful would it have been if instead it had been her motive to try to get to Equestria, no matter what, because almost all she ever experienced in her world was being lonely and bullied? I think there are a number of bronies who could relate to such a "get to Equestria no matter what" kind of motive much more than to the blunt and overused "I want magic power!"

REVIEW POST!!

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!  YOU WILL REGRET IT!!

For what is essentially the 5th Year Anniversary, this was an amazing episode!  It's a "Musical Episode".  Much like Magical Mystery Cure, it has songs that revolve around the plot.

Pipsqueak asks the Cutie Mark Crusaders for help with becoming president and they agree to help him.  Diamond Tiara is the main opponent here.  What Pipsqueak wants to do is get them a new playground, which was apparently destroyed during the Season 4 Finale.

I knew you were evil, Tirek, but this!?  Wasn't it bad enough that you destroyed Twilight's old home?  As far as I'm concerned, you deserve to rot in Tartus!

Okay, sarcastic rant aside...

Diamond Tiara becomes quite selfish here.  To her, getting this is all about herself.  She even goes as far as silencing Silver Spoon's suggestions.  As a result, she loses, in the worst way possible.  She only got one vote; herself.  Yes, even Silver Spoon didn't vote for her.  That's what happens when you're a jerk to friends!

As a result, she goes to her mother and tells her the news.  Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.  She's president of the School Board.  Anyways, Diamond Tiara's Mother is obviously upset, but with the way she reacts and scolds Diamond Tiara, one thing is VERY obvious.  Diamond Tiara is who she is because of her mother.

There's always a reason a bully becomes, well, a bully.  It's all about finding what that reason is.  Once that is solved, we can fix the problem of bullying.  In this case, it's her mother's influence that's the problem.

She puts a lot of pressure onto Diamond Tiara to be successful.  Heck, she was the one who made Diamond Tiara believe that "blank flanks" were below them.  Diamond Tiara takes this pretty hard.  Having lost not just the election, but also her only friend, and what her mother says pretty much makes her lose sight of who she is.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders overhear all of this and decide to invite Diamond Tiara to their clubhouse.  They give her the invite and seeing how she has nothing better to do, she accepts.

They go to the clubhouse and Diamond Tiara is impressed with how hard they try to get their marks.  They go through a lot to find their calling and even with what they decide doesn't turn out to be what their destiny is, they don't give up, no matter how much it hurts them.

However, they then get interrupted by Pipsqueak showing up.  He tells them that they won't accept his proposal for a new playground due to a lack of funds.  The Cutie Mark Crusaders tell him to head back while they think of a way to get the money.

Diamond Tiara sees this as a way to get herself reinstated and get Pipsqueak kicked out.  She blabs this out and heads off for her plan.  The Cutie Mark Crusaders go after her.

During the chase, they try to convince Diamond Tiara there's a better way.  They believe she is nothing like this and that she could do more.

Diamond Tiara arrives as the school and the Cutie Mark Crusaders try one more time to convince her there's a better way.  However, at this point Diamond Tiara's mother shows up.  She pretty much tells her to go ahead with the plan and abandon those Blank Flanks.

At this moment, Diamond Tiara does the unthinkable.  She stands up to her own mother and calls the "blank flanks" her friends.  She then hands a note to her mother, telling her to give it to father.  The note in question?  For Filthy Rich to donate the money for the new playground.

A change has happened in Diamond Tiara.  She has found her true calling now.  It's to use her influence to help others and get things done.  She actually commands the students pretty well in helping get the place fixed up and get the new playground.  She has been redeemed.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders found this to feel pretty good.  They helped someone find what their cutie mark really meant.  As a result, they don't care anymore if they don't get their marks.  All they want to do is help others get theirs and understand what they mean.

The three make that pact, and in that moment...

OMFG!!  THEY GOT THEIR CUTIE MARKS!!

We end with a celebration song.

Cutie Mark Crusaders, you have been given a HUGE responsibility.  Hope you do well with it. :)

This was a REALLY good episode.  One that was definitely worthy of the 5th Anniversary of this franchise.  Way to go CMC!  You've done us proud.

See ya for the Online Post!

Post by: Animeboye on October 10, 2015, 06:16:38 PM
THIS is how you do an anniversary celebration. Normally I find MLP to be a little predictable (not necessarily a bad thing mind you) but with this episode, I NEVER, EVER expected to not only see Diamond Tiara, who was probably one of, if not the most detestable character on the show actually be redeemed but for the CMC to actually get their Cutie Marks! As weird as this may sound, I'm actually pretty proud of them. Yeah, I'm proud of three fictional horse kids. They've really come a long way since they first started looking for their talents and I think it's awesome that they'll still go on being the Cutie Mark Crusaders just crusading in a different way.

Diamond Tiara having a difficult home life was kind of expected yet at the same time it wasn't if that makes any sense. To think that the whole time she's been making fun of others just to mask her own insecurities. And yes, I know this is common for most bullies but I never thought it would be a defense mechanism for DT. Since the beginning of the show, I thought she was just being horrible just to be horrible.

The only real issue I had with this episode was that there were too many songs. It sort of reminded me of Magical Mystery Cure with how many songs it had. The songs weren't bad in any way (they were actually quite good) I just think there didn't need to be so many of them.

On a last note, seeing Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash congratulate Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle for getting their Marks was so touching. I teared up during the whole scene, especially at the part where AJ mentions their parents being proud of Apple Bloom if they were there. Since word of god says they're dead, it made that part all the more touching and sad at the same time. Rainbow Dash calling Scoots her little buddy was so adorable as was Rarity telling Sweetie Belle how much of an inspiration she is.

EDIT: I just realized. Now I have to paint Cutie Marks on my Funko CMC figures since they're outdated now. DAMMIT HASBRO!! /joke

Fantastic episode. One of, if not my most favorite episode not just of this season but of the whole series.

(spoilers)
Out of all the ways this episode could've gone, I never would've expected it to be for the Cutie Mark Crusaders what the episode Magical Mystery Cure was for Twilight Sparkle. Heck, I actually saw tons of parallels between the two episodes (a musical with six songs in total, some major characters receive a permanent and very obvious change for the better, and there's a big celebration at the end of it all). Kinda makes me wonder if there will also be the parallel of controversy surrounding such a major change for the characters...

Anyway, I certainly liked this episode. I think it's pretty nice that all three of them got cutie marks that are mostly the same (to signify the strength of their bond of friendship) but also slightly unique to suit their respective talents. And the best part is that this won't mean an end to the CMC as an organization, because instead of finding their own cutie marks, they will now be helping other colts and fillies find theirs.

Since this couldn't be part of a season premier or finale, having it air right on the 5th anniversary of the show was definitely the next best thing.

^^

From what I'm seeing so far, only a small minority of the fans seem to have a problem with Diamond Tiara's redemption than anything else.  Sighting it as being done too fast.  Um, any takers on that?  Because looking back, I kind of agree with them.

Didn't seem that way to me. I actually thought the plot line with Pip becoming class president was wrapped up a lot quicker as it kind of just came and went. DT's redemption I thought was pretty decently paced.

In all honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed by this episode. For one side, after many episodes of trying and failing a lot, the CMC finally get their cutie marks, and with good reason, helping other ponies understand their talents like they helped Troubleshoes. Their designs are decent, but could have been better. And while it's nice to see they decided to reform Diamond Tiara, it all felt rather rushed and quite cliche. We've all seen awful parents like that in media. I know Pacifica Northwest's redemption uses the same trope, but Gravity Falls handled it better and with more depth. Not to mention she got rather easily forgiven for being such a nasty bitch in the past seasons, but the show's had lots of Karma Houdinis in the past, so this hardly fazes me. Truth be told, the Crusaders getting their marks could have waited a bit more, but let's see if they manage to handle it decently. After all, the CMC are willing to aid more ponies get their own marks.
Overall, the whole thing kinda felt somewhat like a rehash of "Magical Mystery Cure", but with more improvements and better paced-songs and the long-awaited goal of our dear fillies, albeit it's got quite some weak spots.
Well, AJ's parents are officially in pony heaven... Or maybe something like Celestia's country?

Overall I did like the episode, but I do agree it was rushed, but if you look at past MLP episodes, there are more then a few that were rushed and, perhaps, should have been a 2 part episode. Also looking in the past Diamond Tiara has gotten off either scott free or suffering repercussions far less then the CMC's have, which in itself can send a bad message.

For tomorrow's episode, Pinkie Pie needs to keep a secret.  It involves Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.  The summary alone is already creating controversy.

Here are the marathons leading up to the episode.

Not much I'm interested in.

I'll still be able to do the usual stuff tomorrow.

See ya then! :wave

PS - Possible article on Sunday, depending on what the secret is.  I know the flames that will come if my prediction of what the secret is comes true.

How much you guys want to bet Cadence and Shining Armor are going to have a kid? That seems to be what most people believe is going to happen. Could this mean Princess Skyla will be canon? http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/im...=20130326024954 (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/a/a3/Princess_Skyla_Toy.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130326024954)

As ugly as the toy is, there is some pretty cute fanart of Skyla https://derpibooru.org/118802?scope=scped6f...fb1b94533528314 (https://derpibooru.org/118802?scope=scped6f31ed3a6bf427282c136ef6fb1b94533528314)

^^And THAT is exactly what the article will be about if it happens to be the secret going on.  There are those who see this as a bad thing and are ready to start debates that were as bad (or possibly worse) as what happened when Twilight got wings. (If you're wondering, some people are still not accepting it.)

I had prodded those who are against Shining and Cadence having a child with a simple question of "why it's a bad thing" and the answers I got are quite stupid and show that they don't really know what they are talking about.

I'm ready to help dowse out those flames that are inevitable if the secret turns out to be what's expected.

As for my thoughts...

The possible parents are side characters.  If it happens, they'll focus on the new child for one episode and be done with it.  It really won't change the show and it should not effect anyone in the end.

It's stuff like that which is a major reason I'm sick of the Brony fandom (no offense to any Bronies here. You guys have been cool). I know not everyone agrees with certain choices a series might make and I can understand why that might be. Yet, to throw a hissy fit every time a series changes its status quo is quite frankly childish and even pretty selfish. I liked and still like the idea of Twilight becoming an alicorn. I may have been somewhat uncertain about it but I digress. Twilight worked hard to get that far. Why shouldn't she have been recognized for her progress? I think any one of us here would want our efforts to be recognized in such a way.

I think Cadence and Shining Armor having a child would be pretty cool and c'mon, Auntie Twilight would be adorable!

I didn't mind Twilight becoming an alicorn and if you look at it you could see where she had the potential, being so powerful in her magic.  and some are upset about the CMC's having the same overall design on their cutie marks and getting them at the same time.   I'm fine with that too.  in fact on last monday's Bronh show one of the folks in the call who's a very good friend of the primary host went on for I'd guess 30 minutes in a ragefilled rant.  I muted the stream after a few minutes.  and like I said in the chat and back when folks got all mad about Twilight becoming an alicorn, some sort of thing they got from the MST3K Intro, "it's just a show, you should really just relax."   I think it's silly getting all mad over a tv show.  

As for Cadence and Shining Armor having a kid, well the Cakes are married and had kids in 1 episode, so it's entirely possible that Cadance & Shining Armor may as well and I do agree.  the kid or kids they have would be like the Cake's kids.  The Focal point for 1 episode then poof, not really seen again.  That is if alicorns are not infertile.

LIVE STREAM POST!!

Okay, let's get off of this for now.  I'll save my ranting for if it comes true.  So, here's the summary for the episode.

Summary: Cadence and Shining Armor tell Pinkie Pie a secret she must keep.  However, it turns out to be a secret even she has a hard time keeping.  Can she keep it a secret until Cadence and Shining Armor tell it themselves?

Like I said, I'll reserve judgement until AFTER the episode airs.

Here's a link to the Live Streams.

REVIEW POST!

I'm not going to give many spoilers for this one mainly because there's not much to talk about with this episode.  It was a good one despite that.

They got the secret over with VERY quickly.  Basically, Ms. Cake comes in, announcing that they need to make a special order cake.  Pinkie sees the special order scroll and burst out the fact that, as we expected, Cadence and Shining Armor are going to have a baby.  The only one there was Ms. Cake and she told Pinkie to keep it a secret.

She makes her way to Twilight's castle and she finds all of her friends there.  Twilight announces that Cadence and Shining Armor are coming over and will be staying for a bit.  She has her friends help in getting ready for their visit.

From there, the entire episode is about Pinkie Pie trying to keep the announcement of the baby a secret.  It doesn't help that all of those "coincidental hints" pop up that make it harder for her.  There's some pretty funny moments here too.  The fact that she has to do so much doesn't help, either.

Anyways, this eventually leads to Pinkie coming back to the castle with some snacks for Cadence and Shining Armor. (Mainly because Twilight asked her to.) However, Twilight then announces that Cadence and Shining got held up and may not appear for another day.  This makes Pinkie struggle to keep it in.

It's obvious to her friends that Pinkie is struggling to keep herself from telling them something.  The push her to tell and right when Pinkie is about to say it all, Cadence and Shining Armor show up.  What perfect timing.

As they are heading to the room that was prepared for the royal couple, Shining Armor pulled Pinkie aside and easily figures out that Pinkie knows their secret.  However, he tells her to keep it a secret a little longer.  As they want to surprise Twilight.  Shining Armor's reaction to the room they will be staying at is priceless.

Anyways, they have Twilight and her friends go to Town Square where they are to meet them.  However, they only find a scroll there.  Turns out, they set up a scavenger hunt.  It was a game Twilight and Shining played back then, and there was always a big surprise for her at the end.  So the hunt begins.

The first note leads to the school and the hint is inside their newspaper.  That one leads to town hall and the note for the next hint is on the back of Applejack's Birth Certificate.  Which then leads them to a store that was having a sale on cribs.  Pinkie Pie just rushes in there and finds the next hint.  It leads them to Sugar Cube Corner.

The six get there and Shining Armor and Cadence are there waiting for them.  Twilight starts looking for the surprise.  Shining Armor gives her a hint.  That all of the places they went to have something in common.  Twilight thinks it over and Pinkie Pie really struggles here to not tell the secret.

Twilight figures it out and the Royal Couple announces that they are going to have a baby.  Twilight is speechless and Pinkie Pie goes crazy.  It takes a moment for Twilight to give the proper reaction.  It's worth the wait.

Pinkie literally breaks down, relieved that she no longer has to keep it a secret.  After she puts herself back together, they enjoy the special order cake that had a baby stroller on top.

Really good episode here.  Now for me to make the article to help dowse the inevitable flames.

See ya later! :wave

Post by: Animeboye on October 17, 2015, 06:46:12 PM
 AWW YEAH!! CALLED IT!!! Shining Armor and Cadence are having a kid!! I wonder when the baby's going to be born. Will season six's opening episodes focus on Cadence giving birth to her child or will the birth happen before this season ends?

Last week and this week's episodes were fantastic. Having to keep a secret from your friends is never easy and I was actually expecting Pinkie to blow it near the end. That Pinkie was able to keep the secret despite how tempting it was to tell Twilight the news really shows what a great friend she is. Twilight's reaction to becoming an aunt was actually pretty similar to how I reacted when I discovered I was going to be an uncle. It's one of the coolest surprises you can ever receive and had my brother and sister-in-law been able to tell me the good news face to face, I probably would have reacted exactly the same way as Twilight.

Seeing Shining geek out over things from his childhood was just adorable as was Twilight eagerly looking forward to doing one of Shining's scavenger hunts. I thought that was a great way to tell Twilight about the new baby. I thought Cadence would have spoken with Twilight alone and then Twilight would have excitedly told her friends afterward.

Yet another season five episode I consider one of my faves. With only seven episodes left, I think season five is definitely going to go out with a bang. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

(spoilers)
I kinda figured it was only a matter of time before Cadance and Shining Armor decided to have a child. After all, they've been happily married since the end of Season 2. I have a feeling that this little side event will progress much like how the Equestria Games did through Seasons 3 and 4. Specifically, this episode marks the announcement, there will be the occasional mention at moments over some of the future episodes, with the big arrival coming probably sometime near the end of Season 6.

Anyway, with this being a Pinkie Pie episode, it was inevitable there would be a lot of funny moments (such as finally seeing the old pinball gag for the first time in the show). But one thing that really got my attention was when Pinkie Pie remarks, "I've been really liberal with Pinkie Promises lately." That, and Pinkie's actions throughout the episode, demonstrates a real hazard about making lots of promises: If you make too many promises, some of them could end up conflicting with each other, and trying to keep all those promises may lead to a really big mess.

Also, we saw that the Cutie Mark Crusaders have their cutie marks from last week's episode, so that makes this one another example of immediate mid-season continuity.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. I was pretty surprised that MLP would use such a complex word on their show. At first I thought Pinkie was saying that she was being too literal with her Pinkie Promises. I had to play that one more time just to make sure I heard her correctly

My article has been cancelled because the unthinkable has happened!

Literally NO ONE is complaining about them having a child.  They are more upset about the execution of when the surprise was announced. (Happened at the start, but most wanted it at the end.) They don't realize, however, that this was a different style of writing that apparently doesn't work for them.

However, I just haven't checked ponychan yet.  However, I've made a pact to STAY AWAY from there.  Mainly because it's 4chan for bronies and I've stayed away from 4chan for the longest time.  I'm not breaking that now.

So yeah!  There's our surprise.  NO ONE complained about the child itself.  Shocker! :blink:
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on October 18, 2015, 03:42:29 PM
I thought /MLP/ was the 4Chan for Bronies? Oh, well, I love /MLP/. Those guys are always hilarious  :lol I've never visited Ponychan much so I have no real idea what it's like. Also, somewhat OT but I don't really think 4Chan is that bad. I've been there a couple times and aside from some weird posts, it's hardly the most horrifying thing I've seen on the Internet. I've seen and read about things on the Internet that make 4Chan look tame by comparison.

Huh. Well I guess the child can't really be complained about since he/she doesn't even exist yet. As for when the reveal happened, well, it was different that's for sure. I think it would have been kind of cliched to have it happen near the end so having it happen at the beginning was kind of refreshing. Still, I guess I can see why it wouldn't work well with others.

I still can't wait to see when Cadence and Shining's kid is born. I wonder if it'll be Princess Skyla or a different character.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on October 18, 2015, 04:24:01 PM
Ponychan was created in response to 4chan deleting all MLP related posts.  /MLP/ was made after all of the hate 4chan got for doing that.  So, technically, ponychan is 4chan for bronies.

One of the stupider complaints it got was that Cadence didn't look pregnant and that was the whole reason some of them hated the episode.  She's most likely in the early stages where the baby isn't big enough yet to make "the belly" happen.  I guess these people didn't learn that, at the fetus stage, it's around the size of your thumb. "The belly" doesn't happen until at least near the end of the first trimester.  Midway through the second trimester at the latest.

Anyways, I wonder what the upcoming grandparents think. ;)
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: Animeboye on October 18, 2015, 10:03:34 PM
Didn't know Ponychan came first. I didn't even know it was still around. If Ponychan is the Brony fandom's 4Chan then what would /MLP/ be? /co/? /v/?

I don't know much about Ponychan but /MLP/ has always been good for a laugh (at least to me it has). I know a lot of people find the posters there pretty messed up but I always felt that at least most of them are just making those kinds of posts just for laughs. I'm sure there are people there who... do want to do that Rainbow Dash but I think a lot of them are just messin' around so to speak. I bet the majority of them make those posts just to mess with everybody.

I figured the same thing as you. That Cadence just wasn't that far along in the pregnancy yet. At most, she's probably just two or three months pregnant. When she does get further along, I wonder what it will be like for her? We've never seen one of the mares on the show carrying a baby in them before so this might also be the first time we see an actual birth on the show.

As for the grandparents-to-be, Twilight's mom will probably be thinking, "This old grey mare she ain't what she used to be".  :lol  Sorry, bad joke. In all seriousness, I bet they'll love their new grandchild. Twilight was excited by the news so I wouldn't be surprised if her parents are just as ecstatic.

I'd say go for it. That's really sick. I get that not everyone's on board with Shining and Cadence having a kid but that's not even close to being funny. Why can't this fandom ever just wait and see how things play out? Why does every new change in the show have to be met with such disdain?

Sad how the kids who watch this show seem to be more mature than the "adults".

I did like the episode and I can imagine there'll be a lot who really hate what happened near the end of the episode.  Like they did over the previous episode.  some folks just can't see that it's a show, they really should just relax, as is said in the opening of MST3K, a show I'm likely the only one old enough to have heard of.

You know, it's not even worth it to do the article.  The minority is so small, it's not even vocal and most of those crying for an abortion are actually joking.  Yeah, the joke is in poor taste, but most have realized that.

It's just not worth the effort in the end.  So yeah, it's going to be officially cancelled.

Besides, I have things I need to take care of.  Especially a problem I have with my new eBay business.  I really have to figure out how to work with it.

REVIEW POST!

Well, this was an enjoyable episode.  I'm not in the mood to do it the way I normally do it, but it'll still have spoilers.  Read at your own risk.

One thing that was a nice gag was both AJ and Pinkie saying the same thing.  I just couldn't help but giggle and the fandom couldn't help but see it as a shipping hint.

Anyways, fandom names have been officially destroyed.  We now have the official names of the Pie Family.  I can't remember them all at the moment, (I'm having trouble remembering the names of the mother and father.) but one thing I do remember is that we have officially been told that Pinkie and one of her sisters are twins.  Pinkie is only a few minutes older.

A part of me wonders if Pinkie was secretly pairing up Big Mac and Marble just in case they weren't related.  After all, it hasn't been confirmed, but I still say the "Screw You, Physics" Genes were passed down to Pinkie Pie and a certain someone in the Apple Family.  What do you all think?

I did like how some of them actually got along.  Maud and Applebloom are good friends now.  However, the highlight was Big Mac and Marble.  They don't need to say much, but they obviously get along pretty well.

Applejack had a hard time adjusting to this new tradition, mainly because she's so used to her own.  However, that's part of the holidays.  Exploring new traditions while still having your own in some way.

Oh, and one last thing if you are EVER at the Pie Family Rock Farm.  Don't touch the giant rock!  Limestone Pie is quite attached to it!  Trust me, she will remind you if you forget!

Well, that's all from me!  See ya for the online post!

That was a pretty good episode although it was a little weird in my opinion to have a Christmas themed episode near the end of October. The characters played off of each other pretty well and I was pretty surprised to hear Pinkie is a twin! I wasn't expecting that. I always figured she was the youngest of the Pie sisters.

Can't say I'm really surprised with how Pinkie's parents spoke. Seeing as how they have that Amish look to them, I thought it only made sense that they would end up speaking like a stereotypical Amish person. I loved the interactions between Big Mac and Marble. Watch out Cheerilee. I think someone's trying to make a move on your man  :lol

Even though this is the first time we've heard the official names of all of Pie family in the show itself, those names were actually first mentioned in one of the books that came out some time ago. I've never bothered getting any of those books, but I have heard from people who do have them about certain little bits of interesting information (such as Princess Cadance was born as a pegasus and later on ascended to an alicorn, kinda like Twilight).

Anyway, it was nice to finally have some canon characterization for the rest of the Pie family besides Maud (who we already know very well). The parents, Igneous Rock (father) and Cloudy Quartz (mother) speak in ye olde style. Limestone Pie (the purple sister) is the grouchy manager of the rock farm. And Marble Pie (the dark grey sister) is very shy and never says anything besides "Mmhmm." In fact, this is the very first time we've ever seen the latter two as they are in present day, so we now have not only their cutie marks but also their adult hairstyles.

For this episode, it was very interesting to have not just two characters but two entire families interacting with each other, showing the huge contrasting backgrounds that the two main characters, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, come from. Also, the intro showing how Twilight and Spike developed their own holiday tradition served as a nice little hint of what happens later on in the episode between the Apples and the Pies.

Well, next week's new episode is the one that was leaked a while ago, but I've done well to avoid watching it, and I will continue to avoid watching it until after it's intended airtime next Saturday.

I said I was going to wait until after this episode was intended to air to watch it, and that's exactly what I did.

(spoilers)
What I find most notable about this episode is how Fluttershy ultimately decides that Nightmare Night just isn't for her, and goes back to her usual tradition of hiding under her bed. Some could argue that this is just another case of holding the status quo, but that fact is that Fluttershy made this decision after she had made a few attempts to join her friends in their activities. This is a good demonstration of the old phrase "don't knock it until you try it", because the fact is that, in some cases, there will be things that people won't enjoy, even after giving it a try. Just because you're willing to try something new doesn't automatically mean that you'll like it. We already saw that side with Rainbow Dash and reading back in Season 2, so I think it's really nice that we got to see that the opposite result can be just as realistic.

By the way, considering that this episode was leaked over a month ago, I find it interesting that, although the Cutie Mark Cursaders appeared in this episode, they were all wearing costumes that completely covered their flanks. Out of all the post cutie mark episodes, I'm really glad it was this one, because I wouldn't want to imagine what people's reactions would've been like had those new cutie marks been part of that leak.

I did like this episode, and the previous one also. The previous one, I think it was, Applejack learned an important lesson.  This episode I'd classify as while not one of the greats, it was fun to watch and I'd watch it again.

Well, it seems that the block made back when this episode was released online is still up on YouTube.  So unfortunately, we can't get a full HD episode of it on YouTube.  Sorry, everyone! :(

In the meantime,  I feel like making amends for a certain episode.  I only gave a brief summary on it, but I want to give it the review it deserves.

See ya next time for that. :)

As some of you know, I made only a brief summary with some of the episodes of this season a while back.  However, I had never really felt satisfied with my short review of Season 5 Episode 12 - Amending Fences.  I decided to watch it again so I could get my full feelings on it.  I want to give it the full review it deserves, but that might take some time.

In the meantime, here's something EqD found.  A Pony Kind of Christmas.

Contrary to what the synopsis said, Twilight (and Spike) had actually spent three days straight reshelving the castle's entire library, and thus missed out what their friends did with Discord over the weekend. Interestingly, we never hear the full story about what they did, only that it involved a snake, oranges at the apple orchard, and Discord getting his feet stuck in a pair of peanut butter jars.

I'm sure we've all heard the occasional complaint that Twilight becoming a princess would somehow diminish her character, but this episode has clearly proven that's not the case. Despite Twilight insisting that, being the Princess of Friendship, she shouldn't express negative feelings like jealousy, it's very clear halfway through the episode that she's still just as prone to freaking out as she was prior to becoming a princess. At least she can always count on her friends to help her out.

I also liked that "Back to the Future" reference Pinkie Pie made while suggesting time travel. :lol:

I have to be honest, this episode didn't feel as good as some of the past season five episodes. The puns really got old right after the first one and Discord's motivation for not including Twilight made no sense. He wanted to prove she could become jealous by...making her jealous? No kidding. We also never find out just what was so hilarious that they couldn't just tell Twilight what had happened. And what was up with Discord having that evil look on his face in several scenes? It really made it seem as though he had some ulterior motive.

Pinkie as Marty from Back to the Future was pretty cool and Discord was great as always. I just think this episode could have been a bit better.

Also, a quick mention for Scare Master. Since the episode was leaked six weeks ago, I haven't been able to find a full version of it as it seems to have been removed from Youtube. From what I remember, it wasn't a bad episode. I liked that Fluttershy tried to give Nightmare Night a try but found it just wasn't her kind of thing. By having her remain not as big a fan of Nightmare Night as her friends, I think it actually gave her more depth than if she were to like it in the end. Two headed Spike was pretty clever as well and Applejack was adorable in her lion costume. My biggest issue with the episode would have to be Fluttershy's idea of something being scary. I know it fits with her character but really? Not being a good host is her biggest fear? So to her that's scarier than twenty foot tall dragons, a reality wrapping demigod (even if he is "good" now), a tyrannical king, a bug queen who can transform into other ponies and eat love, and a centaur who can absorb magic from not just unicorns but alicorns, peagasi and earth ponies? Flutters's has got some interesting standards for what's scary.

I did like what they did with some of the scary scenes though. A lot of them were pretty inventive.

I plan to give Friendship Games another watch and then review it on my Deviantart journal. I already reviewed Equestria Girls back in 2013 and Rainbow Rocks a week ago. If anyone wants, I'll link to all three reviews once the Friendship Games one is up.

I didn't see her even when I watched the episode again and was watching for her.  I guess it'll tie into Twilight mentioning why she took so long to show up at the Equistria Girls movie.  Just a wild guess on my part.

^^Looking at the episode in full, it seems to only be one of those "mistakes in a few frames" moments.  Pinkie Pie was replaced with Starlight.

I did laugh at a few of the jokes for the episode, but this seems to be the whole point of the episode.  Putting in as many jokes and references as possible while still trying to make a lesson.  Some of the jokes were just cringe-worthy. (Seriously Fluttershy, that was bad!) In the end, whatever happened over the weekend is never told to us and seems to be one of those "you had to be there, but we're unable to tell you" deals.  I really hate those in life.

This episode was decent if anything.

Next up, Twilight and Fluttershy are on a "Friendship Mission" at long last.  It happens to be a dispute that's been going on for years!

Can't wait for Twilight's reaction to finally getting to go on one of these missions.

See ya next week! :wave

That was supposed to be Pinkie? Makes sense that it'd be an error since Starlight's pretty close to them and yet they don't even notice her.

I wonder if for the season finale, Starlight will make reference to her stalking Twilight in previous episodes. Just made me think that Derpy's had some competition this season as MLP's Where's Waldo character.

Good morning, everyone!  Today, Twilight gets her Map Episode!  The princess has been patient for this.

However, I have to also announce that this episode was leaked early just hours ago.  I'll let you know when a link is available.  As for now, here's the summary.

Summary: Twilight and Fluttershy have been summoned by the map.  They are to resolve a dispute that's been going on for years between two families.

I took a look at a preview and... dispute is putting it lightly.  I'd more say it's a war from what I saw.  Yes, a war episode.  This should be good.

(spoilers)
I'm think we all knew Twilight would be very excited about being called by the map, but doing tons of research and assembling a friendship-solving portfolio within only five minutes really took it to a whole new level. At least Fluttershy was just happy to not go alone.

Somewhat predictably, there's a family feud in the Smokey Mountains between the Hooffields (red and brown earth ponies) and the McColts (blue and grey earth ponies), fighting each other for seemingly no reason at all (aside from simply hating each other). When it was revealed that the Hooffields are good farmers but poor builders, while the McColts are good builders but poor farmers, I pretty much figured out right away how they would ultimately benefit from friendship. What did surprise me was that the whole feud started because the first Hooffield and the first McColt wanted to use their respective talents to help the animals in the area, but couldn't agree on whether food or shelter was more important. I guess needing to hear it from the animals themselves was why Fluttershy was called by the map.

(Also, I found it rather amusing how Twilight kept tearing pages out of her friendship portfolio with increasing disappointment.)

REVIEW POST!!

To be honest, I felt that Fluttershy was the main one the map chose to send.  Twilight was just there to hold them back when things REALLY got out of hand.  Not to mention to learn another important lesson on not just friendship, but life itself.

As for my thoughts, I did enjoy this one.  The fact that they could not remember why it all started made me wonder just what the reason was behind it all.  It was all a dispute over if shelter or food was more important.  I will say that both are important in the grand scheme of things.  When it comes to survival, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

I will admit that I felt a bit heartbroken when I saw Twilight just sitting there and start to tear out all of her pages from her portfolio one by one.  I felt sorry for her.  She worked hard to come up with so many ways to stop all of this and what she had put together was completely useless.  The only thing she could do in the end was hold them back while Fluttershy explained everything that happened.

It was a very well done episode in the end, but I hope Twilight really gets a chance to shine as the Princess of Friendship she is meant to be.

Okay, so what's next?  Applejack has an old friend return.  We'll see how things go there.

See ya next week! :wave

Post by: Animeboye on November 15, 2015, 03:08:05 AM
I was pretty surprised at the reason they gave for why the two families were feuding. At first I was worried they were going to give them a silly reason like they didn't decorate a cake the right way or whatever. That it was about not deciding whether or not food or shelter was more important was definitely a pleasant and unexpected surprise. I like how, in the end, neither choice is shown to be more important than the other. They're both vital to survival and I don't really believe one is more important than the other. It was nice to see that, in the end, they were able to come together for the animals who had been the only ones truly suffering through their squabbles.

Fluttershy and Twilight both worked very well together. Their chemistry was great and seeing Twilight's excitement about finally getting to make use of her role as Princess of Friendship was adorable. In the end, I liked how it was ultimately Fluttershy who saved the day.

Good episode. And as always, looking forward to seeing more of the Cutie Map.

REVIEW POST!!

Just so you all know, it was Lena Hall (https://www.facebook.com/CelinaCarvajal) who played Rara, and I LOVE her singing voice that she did for this episode! (The real one.  Not the obvious auto-tune fake one that they also included.)

Anyways, I read from posters that the inspiration for this seems to be that of Lady Gaga.  Now, I don't know much about her since I don't listen to her music, but as I understand, she's all about being true to yourself and that's what this episode is about.

Rara's Manager was designed to be hated and I hated every minute of him.  So good job there, writers.  I especially felt it to be deserved karma for when he was exposed for what he truly was.

This episode was not a great one, but it's obvious that they weren't going for that.  The writer, Amy Keating Rogers, wanted to go out on a good note for her final episode and she accomplished that.  She will be missed and I hope that the show can survive without her.

Next time, we have Starlight Glimmer return for the Season Finale!  Can Twilight stop her Changing the Past plan?

See ya next week!

Post by: Animeboye on November 21, 2015, 07:54:25 PM
Well that was...alright. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really all that good either. Not much to really discuss for this episode. Rara was pretty likable and I didn't understand why Applejack thought that she had changed when it was obvious from the get go that it was her manager who was making all these poor choices for her. Rara's manager was pretty obnoxious and was obviously made to be disliked so I guess kudos to the writers for that. The songs were the best part of the episode and, in my opinion, better than any pop stuff found on the top 20 charts. I'm not kidding.

What's this about an hour long episode tomorrow? Is the season finale coming this soon? I thought it was next week.

^I'm pretty sure he meant to say "next week" but accidentally said "tomorrow" instead.

(spoilers)
I heard there was a lot of hype for this particular episode, but to be honest, I personally didn't understand any of it. In a way, I guess you could say I sympathized with Applejack in the opening scene: "Who are you talking about?"

I'm not much into anything musical, so this was just an average episode, as far as I'm concerned. I obviously don't need to explain what a terrible pony that manager was, but using Pinkie Pie in particular as his verbal punching bag was definitely not acceptable. Good thing Twilight was able to use a recording spell to expose his true colors. (And that's another official spell we can add to Twilight's magical arsenal.)

I've always been fascinated with time travel, so I definitely have high hopes for next week's season finale.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 22, 2015, 01:16:53 PM
^^This is Starlight Glimmer we're talking about here!  The one who tried to brainwash the Mane 6 by means of suggestion rather than any kind of spell.  The fandom DOES NOT want her to be reformed, and I'm along with them on this.  The fandom would rather have her be imprisoned than reformed.

There has already been a comic of this episode leaked.  In it, Twilight changes Starlight's past to make her good and Twilight's student.  The fandom was outraged at this and has demanded that the TV Show Version at least has a different outcome.  The writers have at least promised that it will be different from the comic, but some are worried that they are just saying that to keep it a surprise.  I for one want to believe what they say, so I'm hoping for that.

For once, I'm actually along with the fandom.  If they reform Starlight Glimmer, I'll consider it the worst season finale ever, and no amount of defense will save it from that opinion.

I remember hearing about Starlight being redeemed and becoming Twilight's student. I thought that actually was going to be the season finale.

I don't know, while it could be an interesting outcome, at the same time, Starlight I don't think would work as Twilight's pupil. I do think that somewhere down the line Twilight should get her own student but Starlight shouldn't be it.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on November 23, 2015, 12:17:04 AM
I have done some research and found the reason behind the hype of the latest episode.  There were two main factors.  The first being Lena Hall, who is a pretty good singer and actress for the modern day audience, was announced as one of the voice actors for the episode.  The second was the fact that some of the lyrics of The Magic Inside (which had the working title of "I am Just A Pony" at the time.) was released early.

This created a lot of hype, and I just hope that not too many hated it in the end.  It may not be a great episode, but if you keep an open mind, you find it to be decent if not good.

To be honest, I have already fallen in love with The Magic Inside.  I've listened to it so many times today and I still am not tired of it.  When you do something that good, you know it deserves to be seen as one of your favorites.  It's been worth it waiting for this one.

REVIEW POST!

I really can't call something I enjoyed bad, unless it was so bad it's good.  For me, it was an episode that I enjoyed up until the ending.  The ending wasn't all that great, especially for an episode that had so much riding on it.

(spoilers)

I mean, every time Starlight changed the past, even with the good intention of making Fluttershy friends with Rainbow's Bullies, it completely messed up the future.  We had a war with King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis ruling the world, Nightmare Moon banishing Celestia, Tirek not being stopped, Discord causing "evil chaos", Flim & Flam industrializing the world (in a bad way) and finally a wasteland where nothing existed anymore.  Geez!

It's amazing how one event in time can shape so much of the future.  The Sonic Rainboom that Rainbow Dash did was SO important.  It shaped everything.  Without it, you can only imagine what would happen.

So then, we get to see Starlight's origin.  You know, I've known villains for having some of the dumbest reasons for their motives, (even some of the best ones) but boy is she ever up there with the top.  Her only friend moves away after earning his cutie mark.  After that, she was too scared to make another friend because she didn't want to get hurt.  In the end, she blames it all on the cutie mark.  I don't think I need to explain how dumb of a reason that is.

Then comes the ending.  Unlike the comic, Twilight decides to convince her to give friendship another chance.  This stalls Starlight long enough for the Sonic Rainboom to happen.  They go back to the present and the scroll that controls the spell gets sent into the void of time itself.  Everything is back to normal and Twilight's friends arrive.  They have a lot to explain.

One thing has become clear.  It's just how powerful Starlight is.  She has powerful magic.  She gave Twilight a run for her money.  So, they don't say it, but it's obvious that Starlight may still become Twilight's student.  We end with a song, along with a montage of what happens with Starlight under Twilight's guidance.

(end spoilers)

It was a great episode, but it had a bad ending.  I wouldn't say it completely ruins it.  However, it's not something we wanted.  Season 6, which is sadly a year away, will have a lot to prove to make up for this mistake of an ending.  Best of luck to it!

See ya later when I post the online links. :wave

It's so hard to believe that the season finale has finally come. While I really enjoyed both episodes, I do have to agree with Pokeplayer that Starlight's whole reason for wanting to rid Equestria of Cutie marks was...well really stupid. She knew that her friend was in Canterlot so why didn't she try to reconnect with him when they were older? It wasn't like she was never going to get her mark so you know, as soon as the two of them are older, either visit him in Canterlot or move there so they can be closer. I like Starlight's character but that wasn't a very good backstory.

One thing I thought was strange was how Twilight still kept her Cutie Mark after Starlight first changed the past. Since her future was also shaped thanks to Dash's Rainboom then shouldn't her Cutie Mark either have been gone or changed (I'm assuming that's what happened to the other Mane Six's marks)?

I really liked the message that even the smallest thing can end up changing the future for everybody. It really puts into perspective just how important even the most minute thing we do can end up affecting our lives. The timeline variations were also pretty entertaining and I was personally hoping we'd get to see more of the wars between Sombra and Chrysalis.

The ending I have mixed feelings on. While I did think the ending was pretty sweet, I also think Starlight got off a bit too leniently. Other than Twilight teaching her how to better control her magic, she receives no repercussions for what she's done and really, Twilight taking Starlight under her wing(no pun intended) isn't a punishment. I'm not really against the idea of Twilight getting a student of her own and she and Starlight could have some pretty good chemistry together. We'll just have to see what happens in season six.

So now begins the year long wait for season six. Wonder what that will bring.

This has definitely become one of my favorite episodes of all. As I've said before, time travel has always fascinated me, and I really liked seeing all the alternate futures that were being created with each loop to the past. And at the end of it all, there is now ultimately almost no major changes to the show, aside from possibly a new character to the cast in the form of Starlight Glimmer. Not since season 1 or 2 has there been a finale that stuck so close to the status quo. (Season 3 had Twilight become an alicorn, and season 4 had the library destroyed and a new castle created, though considering that at the start of season 3 we had the sudden return of the Crystal Empire, I'm tempted to say that it was only between seasons 1 and 2 that things mostly stayed the same, so we'll see if that'll be the case once season 6 starts.)

Speaking of Starlight, I'm honestly quite surprised that there's so much hatred for her here. Even though I kind of expected her to ultimately end up reformed, I actually like this. I suppose every season finale lately seems to come with a big controversy: alicorn Twilight after season 3, the loss of Golden Oak Library after season 4, and now Starlight's reformation in season 5. I had accepted the big changes of the previous seasons, and I will still do the same for this one.

To be honest, I actually see a lot in common between Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer. Both of them once had evil intentions, but thanks to the actions of Princess Twilight, they have both been shown that there was a better way. (In fact, near the end of this episode when Starlight hesitantly accepted Twilight's hoof in friendship, I was immediately reminded of the ending of Friendship Games, when human Twilight hesitantly accepted Sunset's hand in friendship.) I recall that it wasn't until after Rainbow Rocks when people started to appreciate Sunset Shimmer as more than just a former bad guy, so I'm confident that, given enough time, fans will warm up to Starlight Glimmer as well.

Hasbro has just released a video of the upcoming episode that features Shining Armor and Cadence's new baby.  It only has the voice overs and has yet to have music and sound effects added, but here it is.

Be prepared for quite a shock.

Oh, and as for the name... Flurry Heart

I'll give my reaction after you have watched it and responded here.

It's already been said what the baby's name is: Flurry Heart. I do wish they had gone with Skyla though. Flurry Heart's okay but Skyla's a much better name to me.

Post by: Malte279 on January 29, 2016, 07:44:12 PM
Given the many alusions to Greek mythology in MLP it might have been a little ill boding to go with the name Skyla. It sounds rather similar to Scylla, a name that appears twice in Greek mythology. One of these Scyllas was a sea monster which (among other) killed several of Ullysses men while the other (in our context less amicable) Scylla was a princess who betrayed and caused the death of her own father :blink:

So with season six coming soon, what are some things you guys are hoping to see in it?

Two things I want from season six are a scene with Bulk Biceps speaking normally and it turns out he's got a British accent. I don't know why but I just picture him having a really sophisticated sounding voice when he isn't shouting.

I also hope we get an episode with Button Mash and the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to help him get his Cutie Mark. Since the CMC are supposedly going to be helping other ponies get their marks now, I think it'd be pretty cool to have them help some of the more minor foals like Button, Pipsqueak, Dinky, etc. get their Cutie Marks.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on February 25, 2016, 11:52:36 AM
^^I think they might try to avoid giving Button an actual role beyond being a background.  Especially since giving him an actual role would trigger a few fans because of the whole "Button Mash Adventures Shenanigans".  If you don't know about that, be glad you don't.

As for me, I would just want them to get rid of Starlight Glimmer at this point.  The show FAILED with trying to redeem her.  They made her change of heart be quite unrealistic.  At this point, they are better off just having her say goodbye to the six, walk off-screen and we all pretend she never existed.  End of discussion and I will NOT go further into this, so don't bother.

Beyond that, I do know what the planned theme for Season 6 is.  They want to give us more info on the world of Equestria.  Season 6 plans to have us visiting new places and seeing what the world is really like.  That being said, can we go to their equivalent of Las Vegas?  I do know that the real life counterpart is "Sin City", but cartoons have toned down that place before.

Post by: Animeboye on February 25, 2016, 05:39:25 PM
No offense but we're talking about the same fandom that gets "triggered" whenever something happens that contradicts their ideas of what should be canon. The same fandom that got "triggered" because Twilight Sparkle was given a one dimensional love interest in a film series that the creators have said isn't even canon (personally I have nothing against Flash Sentry. He hasn't really done anything to deserve being so despised).

If Hasbro did give Button more of a role in the show, I think it'd be cool to see their take on him. While I think his fanon personality is alright, I would like to see more to him than just being the kid who loves video games. I think it's cool that Button's portrayed as a major gamer by fans but the biggest problem is that that's usually all there is to him. This seems to happen with a lot of background ponies: they do something on the show (like Derpy saying muffins) and that one aspect becomes their entire (fanon) personality.

As for Starlight, my biggest issue with her is her backstory. It is so poorly written. I still can't believe that the reason she hated cutie marks was because her friend got his before she did and then went off to Canterlot to study at that unicorn school. Did Starlight even attempt to get back in contact with him? When she got her mark, did she even attempt to get into the same school as he did? Perhaps if Starlight's friend getting his cutie mark before she did resulted in him turning into a stuck up jerk to her, I could see where she was coming from. Maybe she could have been the last in her class to get a cutie mark and all the other foals made fun of her for it. Those would have been far better ideas than simply "My friend got his mark before me, went off to Canterlot to study at Celestia's Gifted Unicorn School, and then I never attempted to get back in contact with him so now I hate cutie marks for it".

I don't dislike Starlight's character but her backstory is so poorly written. It makes it sound as though she didn't attempt to make other friends or reunite with Sunburst (I think that was his name).

I'm very much looking forward to the season opening (it will be the first time for me that I will watch a new episode during a bronie meetup).
I am very skeptic about Starlight Glimmer as well, on the one hand because I would really like to see some villains remain villains for some more sequels (they fall to the good side too easily ;)) and because, as Animeboye pointed out, there was a lot to improve about her backstory. I kind of hope that if they keep her in the show she will be more of a "pen pal" to Twilight (putting Twilight in the role Celestia had for Twilight before) rather than turning the mane6 into mane6+1 (some argue that they probably want to end the state of Rarity as the single unicorn in the main cast).
However, I think after all they have done already the makers of the show really deserve the benefit of the doubt and I am confident that whatever path they will take, they will make that path a path worth walking on :)

Here we are today!  We begin another season of our favorite equines plus dragon.  Let's see what we have in store for us.

Summary: The Mane Six go to the Crystal Kingdom to see Twilight's niece, who is having her crystalling.  When they get there and see her for the first time, they are in for a shock.  Meanwhile, Starlight learns that her old friend is there.  She hopes to catch up with him.

Good chunk to fulfill in one hour.  Let's hope they do well.  Get the link to the streams below.  Not much this week, though.

Pinkie: You want the short version or the long version?

Starlight: Uh... short version.

Me: It was a pretty good episode.  Sure, we still haven't forgiven Starlight for what she did and her terrible backstory, but I guess that can be side-stepped for now.  Not the best opener for a season, but still a good one.

Probably for the best that I don't have time for the long version.  I'll talk more about the finer points tomorrow.

Despite a minor audio issue (dialogue would occasionally quiet down, sometimes to the point where I could barely hear it over the background music), I was able to watch these episodes on my new desktop computer just fine.

By the way, don't forget to black out text for spoilers.

(spoilers)
So it looks like Starlight Glimmer (and her new hairstyle) is going to be at least a secondary character. She even makes an appearance in the intro (in the group photo, she's a little to the right between Applejack and Big Mac).

I completely expected the baby alicorn to be very troublesome, but I was surprised that she was powerful enough to actually (albeit unintentionally of course) destroy the crystal heart. Also interesting to note that the absence of that object has immediate effects, forcing Celestia and Luna to take action to hold off the freezing weather.

As for Sunburst, based on his confession, it seems like he is very well studied in magic but rather poor in practice. He was able to quickly figure out exactly what spells were needed to repair the crystal heart (and keep the baby's magic surges in check).

And near the end of the episode, we even get (for the very first time) to hear both of Twilight's parents speak.
(end spoilers)

All in all, a great start to Season 6, and I'm certainly looking forward to all the upcoming episodes.

Pokeplayer, do you have to always post the episode summary together with the links (and also mention what the episode after that will be about sometimes?).

I'd like to contribute to this topic as well, but I also wanna watch the episodes without knowing anything about them before, so...can't really do that when there are summaries in here and things like

Quote
Okay, so what's next? Applejack has an old friend return. We'll see how things go there.

for example (and don't worry everone that one is related to the last season ;) )

This is just a request of course, I'm not here to tell you how you have to do it - if you wanna keep it the way up you did it so far, I won't complain, I just won't contribute in here, that's all.

And hey, since I already posted in here, here's my opinion of the episodes, with zero spoilers :D : the start of season 6 was okay to me. Not incredibly amazing or extremely bad, but okay. Had a few moments I liked and a nice story as well. And I'm definitely curious about the rest of the season.
Also, watching MLP on the big screen was awesome. :D

And I really need to catch some Zs now. Being part of the organisation for Brony Meetups is fun, but can also be quite exhausting, especially when you just didn't get enough sleep. :D

Post by: pokeplayer984 on March 27, 2016, 01:02:13 AM
^^Sorry buddy, but this is how I do things and you'll just have to get used to it.  I guess I could "spoiler" what's to come and all that.  I think that might be a good compromise.

Anyways, time for my thoughts with spoilers included.

Okay, so with me having time to digest all that happened, I must say that I am quite shocked that the baby is as powerful as she is.  I mean, yeah, she's an alicorn, so I did expect her level of magic to be quite high, but I did not expect it to be powerful enough to break the Crystal Heart.  That was quite a shock to see.

Also, a few things of the lore of My Little Pony was established in the episode.  Mainly that Flurry Heart is the first alicorn to be birthed.  Up to this point, all of the known Princesses earned their wings/horn.  Which means Celestia and Luna were not born as alicorns.  They earned it too.

Oh, and we also find out that the crystaling is basically making someone a full fledged citizen of The Crystal Empire.  It's so important that it can restore the Crystal Heart in case anything happens.

Plus, it looks like Starlight knows about hyperspace.  I mean, where else did that stool, popcorn and lounge chair come from?  Pinkie, please don't teach her about that.  She's powerful enough as is.

Finally, I was pretty much expecting that Sunburst did not live up to the image that Starlight created in her mind.  He knows a lot about magic, but can't do many spells himself.  It doesn't make him unimportant though.  After all, he did end up with an important role in the end.  He knows spells that can help the new parents, and that's going to be a big deal.

So yeah, love it or hate it, there's a lot in this episode that's bound to establish interesting fanfiction.

Anyways, what's next week? Pinkie and Rarity go to Manehatten to get a gift for Maud. We'll see what shenanigans come from that.

See ya later! :wave

The great and mighty Lauren Faust has revealed a fact about Scootaloo and Big Jim has confirmed it.

The fandom has long since believed Scootaloo to be an orphan.  She's not!

Well I'm a bit late on this but here are my thoughts towards the season opener.

For the most part, it was just okay. It wasn't bad but it wasn't really that good either. In the preview I found Flurry Heart to be pretty cute but in the actual episode I thought she was pretty annoying. She ultimately just had no purpose and didn't need to have the season opener be devoted to her. One episode would have worked just fine. Also, the reason for her name is really stupid. So you name your daughter after a (narrowly avoided) disaster that not only did she cause but which also could have ended up destroying the kingdom you're supposed to rule over? Yeah, then Shining and Cadence as well as the rest of the Crystal Empire can always remember the momentous day they nearly lost their homes.

The best parts of the episodes were the parts involving Sunburst and Starlight. It was interesting getting to see them reunite (although again, they could have easily stayed in contact) and their characters played off each other pretty well. The only thing that bugged me was Twilight's incessant OCD and pretty much demanding that Starlight follow every step she wrote to a T. At first Twilight's OCD was sort of cute now it's getting annoying. You can only use a part of a character's personality for comedic effect for so long before it just gets tired.

I do think that Starlight being Twilight's new pupil will make for some pretty interesting stories in future episodes. I just wonder if she'll ever accompany some of the Mane Six whenever they get summoned by the Cutie Map to solve a problem.

Good morning, everyone!  I had some fun yesterday with EQD.  We had Starlight turn evil and the fandom took sides.  I joined the side of "for equality" and help expose the rebels to our cause.  I really enjoyed my time there.  Anyways, on to the episode, which really feels filler.

Summary: Rarity is in Manehatten to oversee the opening of the newest branch of her boutique.  Meanwhile, Pinkie is finding the perfect gift for Maud.  She is having trouble and asks Rarity for help.

Manehatten is one we've been to before and with what we have already established there, I don't see how we can expand upon it.  I really don't see much happening in this episode, but let's see what they can do.

~REVIEW POST~

Short version: A very nice episode with plenty of laughs.

Long version with spoilers: So with this one, Rarity is going to Manehatten to pick a place to build her new branch of her boutique business.  For some reason, Pinkie Pie has come along.  Turns out, Maud is there in Manehatten and the two are doing their yearly gift exchange.

Pinkie Pie wants to beat her sister in gift giving because Maud always outdoes her.  Pinkie Pie has the perfect gift in mind, a rock pouch for Maud to carry Boulder in.  Rarity and Pinkie decide to make the shop selling it as part of their site-seeing route as not to draw suspicion.

Shenanigans ensue during the sight-seeing.  Maud even turns out to be good at ice skating.  I wonder who learned from who.

Anyways, they soon make it to the restaurant for lunch on the route and the shop that sells the rock pouch is only a block away.  Pinkie Pie excuses herself and heads over there.  However, the shop is closed due to the shop's owner being on vacation.  Oh, and it seems like being a cop is one of the jobs in Manehatten because one of those appear.

Pinkie Pie returns to the table empty-hoofed.  She secretly tells Rarity what happened, (With an immediately ordered mile-high sundae blocking Maud's view of the break-down Pinkie has.) and Rarity suggests they try to find a new gift for Maud.  They go to the outdoor stalls stores mall of the city. (Yes, that actually exists there.)

Pinkie Pie mentions to Rarity the exact pouch she was hoping to get Maud and it turns out someone who owns one is walking by.  While Rarity distracts Maud with gift suggestions, (Twicane returns during the suggestions.) Pinkie Pie goes to the pony with the pouch.  He agrees to give it to her... if she gives him her party cannon. (No smilies effectively show the shock of that moment.) Long story short, she gives it up and is heartbroken.

The three stop by the park and it's time for gift exchanging.  Maud loves her gift and what she got Pinkie was confetti for her party cannon.  Yeah, now you know the reference to the title.  The three stop by a giant rock so Boulder can play with it.

Maud notices Pinkie playing with her new confetti without her party cannon and asks Rarity what's going on.  Rarity confesses that Pinkie gave up her party cannon to get Maud the rock pouch.  Maud has Pinkie come over and asks if what Rarity said was true.  Pinkie confesses that Maud always beat her in giving great gifts and wanted to outdo her.  Even if it meant giving up her party cannon for it.  In a nice twist to this story, Maud decides to get back Pinkie's party cannon.

They find the swindling pony, who is busy shining up his new cannon.  Maud walks up to him and demands, repeatedly, to be traded back the party cannon for the rock pouch.  Rarity helps in convincing him by saying Maud has "a fire in her eyes" even though it's likely we (and him) can't tell that.  Eventually he gives in and returns the party cannon.

To end the episode off, Rarity shows the new location for the new branch of her boutique.  Maud says that it's the perfect spot.  They had also decided to have Rarity join in on the gift exchanging.  Rarity is just thrilled with the idea.  The episode ends with Pinkie Pie firing off her party cannon, which I forgot to mention she's been doing throughout the episode.

This episode I enjoyed not just for the laughs, but it also showed why so many like Maud.  Not just her dry humor, but the awesome stuff she does for her family.  I may never have the same appeal as others do for her, but I can see why they love her.

An episode worth seeing.  It was an enjoyable time well spent.

Next week, the CMCs return and argue how to embrace their new destiny.  We'll see how that works out.

(spoilers)
I don't think there's really been a lot of moments throughout the show that have Pinkie Pie and Rarity interacting, so it was nice to see this episode focus solely on them, plus Maud.

I have to say, all three of them each had so many funny moments that I just can't simply list them all. Pinkie Pie was acting wildly enough (not just firing her party cannon, though she certainly did that a lot) to make everypony around stop and stare, which did make me assume it was only a matter of time before a cop showed up. Rarity had a wide variety of moments, from struggling to understand "PSSSD", to her "shopping showdown" with Maud, how she at one point acted out Pinkie's usual antics, and how Maud "broke her" into confessing that Pinkie gave up her party cannon. And of course there was Maud Pie, not only her usual total lack of emotion and watching after Boulder, but also revealed to have "Maud sense" similar to what her sister has.

I also liked the lesson of this episode that, as Maud nicely put it, "Gift giving isn't a competition. It's about expressing how much you love someone." That just goes to show why you shouldn't take things too seriously, no matter how good your intentions may be.

Another Saturday, another new episode of pony for us to enjoy!  Three little fillies are the center stage today.

Summary:  The Cutie Mark Crusaders now have their cutie marks, but now what?  How does one embrace such an important destiny?  They don't agree on what to do next.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have a big responsibility now.  This is a chance to see where we can go from now that they have achieved such a goal.  I don't expect this to be easy, but let's hope the writers don't mess it up.

Here's a list of the Live Streams for today!

~REVIEW POST W/ SPOILERS~

It was a good episode, but let's see what I can talk about here.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders now have their cutie marks, but now what?  Sure, there are ponies who need help, but there doesn't seem to be that many in Ponyville.  I did like that Bulk Biceps got some character development.  However, it wasn't much to begin with.  We still know very little about him.  He seems to be someone who is obsessed with weightlifting.  However, now The Cutie Mark Crusaders have given him the idea to help teach others how to lift weights.  I'm not sure how to feel about that.

It also seems like The Cutie Mark Crusaders also have ideas of things they want to try.  They even chose to do stuff alone.  Scootaloo tried bungee jumping.  Sweetie Belle tried crochet. (AKA knitting.) As for Applebloom?  Well, she tried a lot of stuff but found no fun in them because she loves doing stuff with her friends quite a bit.

However, the final act of the story comes when she tries dancing.  She's not good at it, but she found a young colt who is fantastic. (He's a Scootaloo clone.) I mean, it's a wonder why he didn't have a cutie mark in dancing.  Then again, he has stage freight.  It was that fear that he had to overcome to get his cutie mark and The Cutie Mark Crusaders helped him do that.

Oh, and the fandom has shipped him with Applebloom.  Not surprised.  The only problem the fandom is having with that is that we're not sure what his name is.  I'm sure they said it.  We just didn't catch it. (That accent the teacher had when she said his name made it difficult to understand.)

As for the song, it was a rather sad one.  It conveyed the situation very nicely for Applebloom, and it really showed that she loves spending time with her friends, even with stuff she doesn't like doing.  All of the stuff she did, it just didn't feel the same without them.

It's a good episode.  It really is.  It's just not a great one.  It is good and has a good lesson.  I hope we continue to have more good ones along the way for this season.

Next week, Spike gets to be a hero!  Let's hope they do it right.

See ya for the online post! :wave

Anyways, here's the episode on YouTube.

Season 6 Episode 4 - On Your Marks YouTube Version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlwAH6JmK5Y)

It's only 360p, but I'm sure it'll be okay.

Enjoy and I'll see ya all later! :wave

EDIT: Better version posted.

I still prefer to use Dailymotion. The adblocker I use works just fine on that site, and the videos play just fine to me (so long as I use fullscreen mode, but that's tolerable for me). In fact, ever since I upgraded my desktop computer from XP to 7, I've been able to watch videos on that site at a higher quality. Besides, while new episodes may last only a few days on YouTube before they're inevitably taken down, the ones on Dailymotion seem to last indefinitely, so either way, I'm still sticking with Dailymotion. To each their own, I suppose. Anyway, on to this week's new episode.

(spoilers)
Ever since the CMC got their cutie marks, this is the episode that I'm sure everyone was waiting to see: now that they've achieved their ultimate goal, what's next?

Now that they're not doing things to get cutie marks, and with not a lot of ponies in Ponyville in need of cutie mark advice, the Crusaders decided to do things just for fun, but it's obvious that they each have vastly different ideas of activities they want to do. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle accept that their respective ideas of fun won't appeal to their friends, so they agree not to force all three of them to do them all together.

Apple Bloom takes it the wrong way and assumes that with both of her friends going it alone that she must do the same, with no success at all. However, along the way, she did encounter a colt with a cutie mark problem and later, with the help of her friends, helped him out. (For those of you wondering what his name was, I did notice it in the end credits, but I didn't bother pausing the video to find out.)

One note I'd like to point out is that, in the middle of the episode, Apple Bloom had suggested traveling all over Equestria to find ponies with cutie mark problems, but the three fillies quickly agree that it would probably be too much effort for them. I think maybe when they're older and more experienced will they seriously consider that option, but for now, they'll probably just keep things local.

^^It's more than just how many ads Dailymotion has.  You see, I mainly made that excuse for those that don't have an adblocker.  I didn't want them to suffer.  The main problem I have with Dailymotion is it's ability to restart a video part-way through it.  This is especially a problem with stuff that's more than 40 minutes long.  For me, for one reason or another, it restarts about every 10 minutes of playing.  Which means I need to get back to the point where this happened.  It sucks hard!

YouTube doesn't have this problem and I don't know why Dailymotion has it.  It really baffles me in the end.

That is actually a problem I used to have with Dailymotion just a few months ago, back when my desktop still had XP on it. My solution was to set the quality from "automatic" (or whatever it's called) and leave it constantly at a lower quality (I think the one I used was 360 or something close to that), even though it would be obvious in fullscreen (which I rarely ever did at the time anyway), but I never really minded quality that much. These days, however, ever since my desktop was upgraded to 7, I don't seem to have any serious problems at all, and I can easily watch Dailymotion videos at full screen at the automatically set quality. I guess this goes to show that not everyone may be having the same issues you have.

Oh, and while I'm commenting on this topic, I forgot to mention one detail from yesterday's new episode.

This was actually the very first episode in the entire series where none of the main six characters made any appearances at all.

~REVIEW POST~

We actually got a good Spike Episode here, everyone!  This one was definitely worth watching.  Time for the spoiler version below!

While Gem-hunting with Rarity, Spike starts glowing and itching.  He is taken back to Twilight's Castle where Celestia and Luna are having tea with Twilight.  Though little is known about Dragon Culture, the Princess Sisters do know what is happening to Spike.  The Dragon Lord is calling him.  He is to answer the call.

Spike goes there with Rarity and Twilight in disguise as a rock. (Probably for the best.  It is shown throughout the episode that ponies don't have good relations with dragons -- for some reason.) Oh, and what do you know.  Our old Dragon Bully, Garble, is there too.  I had forgotten he even existed.  Anyways, the current Dragon Lord is retiring, so it is time for all dragons to compete for the title.  They must retrieve the dragon's scepter from a volcano.

One character we get to know about is the current Dragon Lord's Daughter, Ember. (I think I get the joke here.) The Dragon Lord doesn't want her to compete.  He doesn't believe her to be strong enough to win the title.  However, I think it's also because he doesn't want her to get hurt.  You know, the usual "Father Problems" all daughters have.

Anyways, Spike tries to leave, but the current Dragon Lord stops him. (Screw it!  I'm just calling him "Lord" from now on.) Spike tells Lord that he wishes not to compete.  Ember backs him up by pointing out how puny he is, much to Spike's displeasure.  Lord complies and let's Spike leave.  However, on the way out, Spike overhears the plans the other dragons have for when they become Dragon Lord.  All of which involve harm to ponies.  Wanting to protect all of ponykind, Spike decides to compete to become Dragon Lord.  Twilight and Rarity will be cheering him on along the way.  In disguises, of course.

All of the dragons meet at the cliff nearest to the volcano that's across the sea the now houses the scepter.  They take off and Spike is pushed into the water by Garble. (He's a bully throughout the episode.  Get used to it.) Along the way, many sea like serpents fire water upon dragons, making them fall into the sea.  One dragon gets hit and falls, their armor making it difficult to swim.  Spike saves this one from drowning.

At the island, the armored-dragon wakes up and reveals themselves to be Ember.  She is competing to prove her father wrong.  She also discovers Twilight and Rarity, who were hiding as washed-up seaweed, but chooses to pay them little heed.  This is especially important when Garble shows up.  Twilight puts their disguise back on Garble starts to smell ponies.  Ember, in disguise herself, says it's her because she raided some ponies on the way.

While they are conversing, they see that a creature of some sort is throwing giant boulders at the dragons.  Garble goes on ahead and Ember and Spike choose to team-up to get past the rock-throwing creatures.  This team up is actually effective.  Ember flies them both to the volcano while Spike looks out for the rocks being thrown at them.  It works and they make it to the entrance of the volcano.  Seeing there's something breathing fire that's powerful enough to incapacitate dragons in there, they decide to continue teaming up to get past that.

After they get through that, they find some active rocks acting like teeth to trap dragons.  Lovely!  One who gets caught is Garble.  Spike and Ember make it past the teeth like trap and Garble struggles out and is on their tail.  Can't have a competition without competition.

One of the final obstacles is a bunch of crystallized spikes that retract out of the wall to try to impale them.  During this obstacle, Spike saves Ember from being impaled.  Garble was smart here by having his competition activate the trap so he could walk through it easily.

After that, it's on to the maze of caves.  One of which houses the scepter.  At the mouth of the maze, Ember tells Spike she is breaking up the team up.  She said she only did this to get this far.  The volcano shakes, causing Rarity, in disguise as a big rock, to nearly fall over.  Spike saves her.  Seeing this, Ember questions it, Spike saying that it's what friends do.  However, knowing what Spike was going on with, Ember says that she's not Spike's friend and takes off.

In the maze, they get a bit lost until they find a cave that's somewhat different.  This particular one houses the scepter.  However, Garble arrives and decides to rid of Spike by dropping him into the lava below.  However, Ember comes to save the day.  She beats up Garble and admits to being Spike's friend.

Garble won't stay down though.  Ember attacks him to give Spike the chance to get the scepter.  However, as he is upon the scepter, he notices Ember struggling to hold off Garble.  Spike takes this chance to save her.  Together, they are able to knock away Garble, but Spike ends up hanging on to a cliff.  After knocking Garble away, Ember saves Spike.  Garble still won't stay down.  Ember keeps him busy and Spike retrieves the scepter, earning the title of Dragon Lord.

Garble sees this and is upset.  Spike's first command is to have Garble go home and have him hug every dragon along the way.  He is also to tell no one why.  Garble does so begrudgingly, with some funny results.  However, Spike then gives Ember the scepter as he wants her to be the Dragon Lord.  Spike points out that the rule is to return it to Ember's dad to fully earn the title and that he didn't want to be Dragon Lord in the first place.  Spike also feels that Ember would make a better Dragon Lord.

They all return with Ember leading them all back.  Seeing this, Ember's father is furious.  Saying once again that he didn't want her to compete.  However, Ember says that she is strong and proved she could do it.  He reluctantly accepts her as the new Dragon Lord.  Oh, and at this point, Garble hugs Ember's father.  It's a pretty funny scene.

Twilight, Rarity and Spike return home.  Spike has a new friend in Ember, who in turn is now pen pals with Twilight.  Rarity also got some inspiration for new fashion based on camouflage.

All in all, a good episode and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Next episode is in two weeks.  See ya for the Episode Post.

With most episodes focusing on Spike having a reputation for being rather poor, it sure is nice to see one really break that trend.

We got to learn more about dragon culture in Equestria, and saw some new characters (along with the return of one certain dragon from Season 2). I guess female dragons are like male ponies in that there aren't a lot compared to the opposite gender, but it was nice to see a few, especially Ember.

Speaking of Ember, I find it pretty neat that now that she's the Dragon Lord (or rather Lady to be accurate), she apparently established regular contact with Twilight, so I'll be interested to see how this relationship between ponies and dragons might play out in future episodes.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what kind of fanfiction will be inspired by this episode.

I saw the new spike episode and it was eh again spike episodes are horrible. But this one was subpar. The two new dragon characters where eh. The new female dragon Ember is pretty much the dragon version of Rainbowdash. But I did like the fact that team work was the main focus. Since you do need teamwork to help you get stuff done. I did like the fact ember didn't tattletale on spike for bringing annoying girl and Twilight Sparkle along. So I will give it this it was a tad better than Princess Spike. But not by a lot. So a bit more effort was put into this spike episode than the last one.

So season three, Trixie seems to be reformed and seems to genuinely regret the way she treated the Mane Six and the rest of Ponyville. Three seasons later and she's (seemingly) back to being a villain. Did they just get a Brony to write this because this upcoming episode looks like a bad fanfic that somehow got made into an actual episode.

~REVIEW POST~

Hmm... tough for me to convey this one.  Both good and bad points for it.  I really can't give a solid judgement on this one.

Spoiler version below.

Before anyone screams HYPOCRITE at Twilight, let me point something important out.  Let's remember that Trixie tried to take over Ponyville.  That's not something that's easily forgettable, nor forgivable.  Heck, I was expecting Twilight to not actually completely forgive Trixie for it.  You say you mean it, but you don't.  You want to mean it, but you can't.  It's one of those things, where no matter how hard you try, you can't forgive it.  Trust me, it's not easy to forgive of someone's big sin, especially if you were the victim who had to suffer while the sinner was preforming said sin.  That's both Trixie's and Starlight's sins to Twilight.  She was the victim!  Don't expect her to forgive, even when she says she does.

I like how this episode did not really revolve around Twilight stalking Starlight (Which did happen but for only a about a minute.) and actually remained focused mostly on Trixie and Starlight bonding.  Giving the spotlight to two ex-villains and seeing how well they can relate.  To be honest, it shows a lot.

No one in Ponyville has forgiven Trixie, and it's quite understandable.  I mean, I would be surprised if anyone did.  Talking behind your back while you roam free while they feel you should be locked up?  Yeah, I can expect that.  You committed a sin no one forgives you for and who can blame them?  Even if you were one who did your time, you can expect those who are hurt the most to feel you aren't forgiven and should still be behind bars, even if they say they forgive you.  They say it as a reflex.  Not as something that has meaning.

Another thing I saw coming was Trixie still holding her grudge on Twilight.  She even used it to make friends with Starlight and make her choose between helping Trixie with an act and being at the planned dinner.  All to prove that she's better than Twilight at something.

When this is all revealed and everyone's sins are laid bare, it shows something important.  Twilight wasn't giving Starlight a real chance to make friends and she had to come to terms with that or risk someone getting killed. (The trick Trixie performed involved her escaping the stomach of a manticore.  Starlight was to teleport her out of said stomach.) She apologizes in time for Trixie to be saved.

This is an episode I'll be defending despite it's flaws.  I'll be busy with that this week.

Next up, the episode post.

See ya later! :wave

Starlight is tasked with making a new friend to join her at an upcoming dinner party with Twilight and Celestia, but that proves rather difficult. Part of that is due to her high level of magical talent, which makes it more plausible why she would enjoy being friends with Trixie; not just a terrible past for both of them, but also they are both great at magic and can appreciate each other's talents.

The last time we saw Trixie was back in season 3, before Twilight became an alicorn princess, so I kind of expected that point to somehow be brought up. It seems that was done by Trixie frequently emphasizing the "princess" part of "Princess Twilight".

And then near the end, let's just say Princess Celestia was not pleased with being left alone at the dinner party without being given any explanation for why Starlight never showed up with a friend. I have a feeling Celestia is going to have quite a talk with Twilight about these events.

In all honesty, I think this whole season in general just hasn't been very good so far. Don't get me wrong, the episodes aren't terrible or anything, they're just nothing very noteworthy either. I'm not sure if I'm just becoming jaded with MLP or what but I haven't enjoyed these episodes as much as I've enjoyed past ones.

One problem I had was actually with one of the earlier episodes of this season. The one with Maud Pie. I don't dislike Maud but I do think she's a pretty one dimensional character. So much so that it almost feels intentional. Her obsession with rocks was cute and even kind of funny at first but now it's just tiring because that's really all there is to her. Rocks. Every sentence that comes out of her mouth has something to do with rocks and it's just really not that funny anymore. I've noticed the same thing with Twilight being so obsessive compulsive about making sure everything is just so. It used to be a cute quirk of hers that gave her more character but now it's starting to feel like that is her character. We see this in the season six opener and we even saw a little of it in the latest episode.

Characters like Pinkie and Spike also fell into this trap albeit a bit sooner than a character like Twilight did. Pinkie used to be the lighthearted jokester who wanted to make others laugh and be as great a friend as she could be. In the first season, we see that even though Pinkie loves pranks, she still knows when a prank goes too far such as when she decides not to prank Fluttershy because she thought it might hurt her. That really showed depth on Pinkie's part and made her that much more likable.

Then three seasons later, we have Pinkie just completely unaware of Fluttershy's feelings in Fili Vanilli. She scares Fluttershy so much with her insane what if scenarios that she, on numerous occasions, drives the poor pony to tears. And THIS is the same pony who didn't want to pull a prank on her friend because she was afraid it would hurt her feelings?

Spike, while I don't think he's necessarily been flanderized, I still think he's been getting worse treatment over the course of the show. In the beginning he was pretty much the little brother of the Mane Six. He could be a brat, laughing at their misfortunes (i.e after the poison joke messes with them) but he still clearly cared about them and they still clearly cared about him. By season four, it seemed like he had become the punching bag of the series. Most of the jokes that involved Spike were usually done at his expense.

But my biggest issue with MLP right now is that when it comes down to it, MLP just doesn't take any risks. I'm not saying it should be like Animaniacs and include more subtle adult humor or be like say, Batman the Animated Series and have dark, depressing storylines but just something a bit different. Lauren Faust once said that she originally wanted the characters to have more adventures so why not do something like that? Have them go on adventures, have them fight villains more often than just at the beginning and/or end of the season, have them go to other parts of Equestria(they've started doing this a little more which I think is pretty cool). I don't think slice-of-life stuff is bad, per se but I liken it to cake. It can be good and anyone can enjoy it but it's not something you should always have. It's good as a once in a while thing.

And maybe have an episode where not everything is wrapped up neatly with a pretty little bow on top. One thing I loved about the Reflections Arc in the comics was that not everything worked out perfectly in the end. A sacrifice had to made and there was no deus-ex-machina to reverse it. The arc had plenty of plot holes (one of which relates to the previously mentioned sacrifice) but I still enjoyed it. I won't spoil anymore but I thought it was a good read. Not outstanding, but good.

Anyway, point being, the series did use to do this with the ponies entering a competition and not always winning in the end (although that's changed too) but why not do that with more scenarios? Maybe have a friendship problem that starts to be resolved but isn't fully resolved at the end of the episode? That would be a great lesson for kids too that sometimes problems aren't solved right away and it can be a gradual process.

Even with all that said though, I do still enjoy this show and I do still love these characters. I just want to see more done with MLP. The series still has so much potential left in it and I just want to see that potential utilized.

I don't think slice-of-life stuff is bad, per se but I liken it to cake. It can be good and anyone can enjoy it but it's not something you should always have. It's good as a once in a while thing.

And maybe have an episode where not everything is wrapped up neatly with a pretty little bow on top. One thing I loved about the Reflections Arc in the comics was that not everything worked out perfectly in the end. A sacrifice had to made and there was no deus-ex-machina to reverse it. The arc had plenty of plot holes (one of which relates to the previously mentioned sacrifice) but I still enjoyed it. I won't spoil anymore but I thought it was a good read. Not outstanding, but good.

Anyway, point being, the series did use to do this with the ponies entering a competition and not always winning in the end (although that's changed too) but why not do that with more scenarios? Maybe have a friendship problem that starts to be resolved but isn't fully resolved at the end of the episode? That would be a great lesson for kids too that sometimes problems aren't solved right away and it can be a gradual process.

Even with all that said though, I do still enjoy this show and I do still love these characters. I just want to see more done with MLP. The series still has so much potential left in it and I just want to see that potential utilized.
I too think the quality of the series is going downhill very quickly.  I still think the best season BY FAR was season 1.  Each season has gone down a little in quality.  I can't even remember any episodes from season 5 off the top of my head.  They're just not special or memorable.  The fact that they've introduced Starlight Glimmer proves that they've run out of steam/ideas.  I don't like Starlight Glimmer.  Never have, never will.  She's worse than a background pony and is flatter than Derpy (who really has no canon character development).  I wouldn't care if she died.  That's pretty bad.  Why?  Because they have made absolutely NO effort to get me to care about her.  It's just been a "well, we're shoving this character down your throat whether you like it or not" kind of thing.

MLP has been turned into nothing more than a massive cash grab.  It's like they don't even care about the quality they crap out so long as they produce something by the deadline.  Many characters are acting out of character, and no respect is paid to the earlier episodes.  I was really hoping MLP would mature gradually and that we'd get a dozen seasons or so before it was retired gracefully, but it seems that they're just going to beat this dead horse / squeeze this rock until they can't get any more blood out of it.

I disagree. Perhaps it is a benefit of having become a bronie at a later time than you, but on the other hand I have come to know many long time bronies who agree that the makers of the series continue to show the degree of enthusiasm for their work and for what they are doing that is reflected in the quality of the show (unlike in case of LBT 14 where I couldn't help but feeling that the makers of the movies just didn't care about LBT at all and just saw it as a job). MLP has always been a cash grap. It was the point for a series with the aim to sell Hasbro toys. However, the makers of the show sure do something for their money and the love for the show I see from so many of the bronies I know is not lessened by the economic basis for the show.
I too was (and still am to some degree) a sceptic about starlight glimmer and I do hope that she won't become as frequent and permanent an addition to necessiate a term along the lines of "Mane7" or so. However, what we did see of her so far in the sixth season seemed interesting to me. In the last episode she repeatedly showed a kind of deadpan humor about her past which I found quite amusing. Moreover the presence of Starlight allows for Twilight to appear in a new role, that of a teacher and in this role end up in the kind of "testing stress" situations so typical for Twilight (while trying to prove to Celestia that she is a good teacher). Admittedly, it was over the top for her in the last episode, but I do see a lot of potential there.
The bronie fandom as I am experiencing it these days (very much looking forward to a meetup on Saturday) is vibrant, creative and mostly very friendly :yes
I feel sorry for you that it you no longer experience it the same way.

I know what the writers are trying to do with Starlight Glimmer.  It's the "sixth ranger" idea.  You bring in someone with a different background, usually from the forces of evil, to the side of the team of good to shake up the status quo.  Whether or not it will work we still have yet to see.  I know, you can go with the whole "But this makes seven" argument, but trust me, it's never won, so don't bother.  Apparently, numbers don't really apply to this troupe.

The biggest problem I have with Starlight Glimmer is her terrible backstory that doesn't work.  Heck, I've come up with several rewrites that could have helped.  It just doesn't work and the writers have to live with that for one they want to try and make a main stay.

This latest episode had Starlight Glimmer do what most "sixth ranger" characters do, have their past haunt them and turn that into an episode.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  The opinion of this episode has been mixed.  Most who liked it were just happy Trixie returned.  Really doesn't bold well for the episode, does it?

Anyways, I can see how the episode's plot would work for Trixie becoming Starlight's friend, but I think Discord would have been a better option.  Then again, I know how well Twilight would take that.  Hilarity would definitely ensue from there.  Probably even turn out a better episode in the end.

I'm kind of rambling now, but I'm sure you get my point.  Starlight Glimmer is meant to be the "sixth ranger" of the team and we'll see how this will work out for the plots that will likely come.

So far I agree the series is slowing going down hil. I think they aren't putting in the effort at all anymore like they used to. The quality of the show is declining. But the first few seasons have been pretty decent. Season five had a lot of good and bad episodes. Mostly have the season was bad not great. The music was amazing in
Season five. And season six Is okay so far. The first episode was actually decent and good. I liked sunburst he's not a bad character. So far the show as a whole was good now the writers have to me join just gave up and not adding effort at all. I can say this they're trying tho witch is good. So I have hopes season six will try and be decent and maybe even good.

Today is a big day for someone in the show!  Today, someone has achieved their big dream.  Yet, everything will come crashing down for them and it won't be their fault!  Get the summary below.

Summary: Rainbow Dash has achieved her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt!  However, on her first day as a Wonderbolt, Rainbow makes a bad first impression, earning her a nickname that haunts her.

They say "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me!", but the truth is, names hurt.  They hurt a lot.  A lot more than those who made that saying give credit for.  Let's hope they do this lesson right.

Here's the link for the Live Streams.

~REVIEW POST~

Writers, you had one job!  One!  And you messed it up twice in a row!  Yeah, didn't like this one.  Spoiler review below!

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me" is a lesson that needs to die because of how much of a lie it is.  The fact they put this lesson into the episode really doesn't help it.  Names hurt!  They hurt a lot!

I can see why people wonder to this day "Why does Rainbow want to be a Wonderbolt again?" I mean, they really don't make a good impression.  Here, they call Rainbow Dash the old "Rainbow Crash" nickname.  Which apparently brings back bad memories of how she got that nickname in flight school.  Apparently, the same thing happened that happened back then.  She crashed into a garbage can.

The scenes of Rainbow impersonating her friends were cringe-worthy time wasters.  They didn't help her and they didn't help the episode.

Heck, you want to know why she's now okay with The Wonderbolts calling her Rainbow Crash?  It's because they all have nicknames that bring back their own terrible first day on the job.  Spitfire also has one that's apparently worse than Rainbow's, but we never get to know it because it was whispered in the new member's ear.  If you are going to bring that up tell us what it is!  Don't hide it!  That joke doesn't help you!

The only real saving grace is the joke of Pinkie Pie with the cotton candy!  However, even that doesn't help it much!

Last week's episode may have been bad, but this one was worse. :x

See ya for the episode post!

I thought this episode was just fine, not great but also not terrible.

Rainbow Dash finally achieves her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt for real, so of course that's one big positive for this episode. But then she makes a rookie mistake and gets stuck with an all-too-familiar nickname.

I didn't really like the part where Rainbow Dash impersonated each of her friends, though seeing how she changed her hairstyle for each of them immediately reminded me of that gag last season where she briefly impersonated Twilight, so perhaps there was some inspiration there (and perhaps took it a little too far in this case).

I had a feeling early on that the nickname was some kind of Wonderbolt tradition (Applejack suggesting that every Wonderbolt probably had a rough time at first, plus Soarin's nickname being "Clipper" were the only clues I needed to confirm this), so Rainbow being called "Crash" didn't really bother me that much.

I honestly don't know what Rainbow was trying to achieve with that storm cloud during the performance, but even Scootaloo knew it was a bad idea from the start. Rainbow sure was lucky to get away from that incident with only a few minor injuries and a one-month probation.

Overall, it was okay, but it could've been better.

The episode was alright it wasn't great. The stuff I did like was she made it to the wonder bolts her life long dream. But the bully by her teammates isn't cool at all. Teammates are suppose to put you up not down. The name calling was childish and not called for at all. And the way she tried to impress them with the storm cloud was just not the right way to do it. So her punishment was the right one by putting her on probation. Overall I thought it was pretty decent better than the god awful Trixie episode.

So Rainbow Dash finally achieves her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt...what could possibly go wrong?

All joking aside, I'm really starting to wonder what Dash even sees in the Wonderbolts at this point. Aside from Soarin', the Wonderbolts have been terrible to RD. Spitfire and I believe it was Fleetfoot try to get Rainbow Dash to abandon Bulk Biceps and Fluttershy to fly with them, they lie to Soarin' when he gets injured because they think Rainbow Dash would be a better flyer, they don't even visit him when he's recuperating, and in this episode, they give her crap because of one little mistake. Oh, but it's okay because they all have embarrassing nicknames. Geez, I sure hope one of the Wonderbolts didn't break a limb on their first day. They'd probably be called Snappy.

Like others have said, Rainbow Dash acting like her friends was really cringey. It added nothing and was just filler. Painful, irritating filler. The sad thing is, this could have been pretty funny but here, the idea of Rainbow Dash acting like say Fluttershy or Applejack just falls flat on its face.

I liked the Wonderbolts of seasons one and two better. They seemed to be much more likable back then. Spitfire seemed more easygoing and friendly instead of the new uptight, manipulative, nasty Spitfire we've got now. Back then Spitfire actually gave RD and the other Wonderbolts respect. Not to mention, I liked her season one voice a lot better than her current one.

To finish, I really wish the writers would give us a reason to like the Wonderbolts (with the exception of Soarin') again because they have just been made into really awful ponies these past few seasons. With everything RD has done for them (including saving their home numerous times), you'd think she'd get a little more respect from them. Man, if I met the people I looked up to growing up and they treated me like that, I'd probably be devastated.

Post by: DarkWolf91 on May 09, 2016, 10:38:13 PM
I actually enjoyed this episode. The culture in the Wonderbolts is a lot like military culture, which I'm sure was done intentionally. It's a bit rough around the edges, but rooted in camaraderie. One of the 'bolts even offered a hoof of friendship to Dash after her first rough training session, but she was too obsessed with her nickname to accept it.

I don't really see the 'bolts behavior as being that terrible, as Dash's overreaction was based in a childhood experience that they probably didn't know about. While one could argue that they should have seen she was upset and repented, things just don't always work that way. Sometimes you simply have to take a step back and admit that you were the one who was overreacting.

As for the cons, yeah, impersonating her friends was definitely unnecessary. They could have easily expressed her desperation to change her persona in a much less irritating way.

Yes I can agree with your post dude. I also agree this seasons episodes have been very awful. They seem so rushed to me and not a lot of effort is put into this season so far. I hope the rest of season Six doesn't stink like the first third has so far. I'm happy to hear they're on a hiatus. They need better writers and a new writing team.

~REVIEW POST~

I will say this was a good episode.  I'll just say they did pretty well with this one.  Get the spoiler version below because I really can't give a decent review without spoiling it.

Note, that this episode is done in mostly song.  It's Hearth's Warming Eve and Starlight wants to skip it this year.  Now, she does have a reason, and it's the old "filled with commercialism" excuse many give with Christmas.  Starlight does know the story of how it all started, but that's not the story Twilight plans to tell her.  It's what many have been expecting to eventually happen.  The My Little Pony Version of "A Christmas Carol".  Yes, the story that's been adapted over and over again.  I seriously cannot tell you how many versions there are and we now have one more to add to that list.  However, this one plans to do it's own thing with the classic story.

Up to this point, they didn't have a character among the Mane Six that was worthy of playing the "Scrooge" role, which is probably why they didn't do it until now.  Evil version of Starlight fits the role nicely.  So good job on you, writers.  Oh, and Rainbow Dash gets the "Mr. Cratchit" role.

In this version, Scrooge Pony (Barely remembering names here.  Deal with it!), after sending Mr. Cratchit Pony home, hates Hearth's Warming Eve so much that she plans to erase it from history.  In fact, she doesn't believe the story of how it started one bit. (This will be important later.) She's about to complete the spell when The Ghost of Hearth's Warming Past appears, played by Applejack.  She says that them appearing is a safeguard of sorts.  Now let's get to this Scrooge's past.

So Scrooge Pony's past in this version is that she had a bad influence teacher that made her think the way she does.  Hmm... why do I feel this is a better version of "Starlight's Past"?  Oh yeah!  Because it is!  Seriously, the writers are never getting off easy with Starlight's backstory.  Sure, they make fun of it here, but a bad backstory is still a bad backstory.

That's all there is to it and we move on from there. (One of the tragedies of adapting the classic story into 15 minutes.  Everything needs to be rushed.) The Ghost of Hearth's Warming Present appears, played by Pinkie Pie.  Here, they have Scrooge Pony go to the party that Mr. Cratchit Pony is attending.  Yep!  They are doing their own thing here.  Two more of the Mane Six pop in for the party.  Them being Rarity and Fluttershy.  Unsure what roles they are supposed to play, but they're here.  After bantering about Scrooge Pony to the point where it hits her heart, we move on to the future spirit.

Now, if it looks like I'm glossing over everything, it's because I am and that's the episode's own fault.  There's little to tell, but it's the context of how it's done that matters here.  The summary is simplistic, but done very well.  Keep that in mind.

Anyways, The Ghost of Hearth's Warming Future comes forth.  She is played by Luna. (Bet you didn't see that one coming.) She shows the future of Scrooge Pony succeeding with her spell and the consequences of that.  The Windigos roam free!  Trapping Equestria in an eternal winter.  Scrooge Pony thought the origin story was a myth, but Future Pony tells her it's quite real. (Told you it would be important.) Seeing the consequences of what her future spell would do, Scrooge Pony apologizes and begs to be brought back to before casting the spell.  She is granted that wish.  She never completes the spell.

The story ends with Scrooge Pony heading to the party and giving Mr. Cratchit Pony a gift.  It's Dragon Toenail, which she absolutely loves.

The story at hand convinces Starlight to give Hearth's Warming Eve a shot and she celebrates it with Twilight and friends.

This was a good episode and you have to see it.

I'll provide the links to the episodes with my next post.

I loved how it was a mix between Dr. Seuss How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol rolled into one. The songs where like always very good in this episode. They actually put effort into this episode. Let's hope the other episodes will be like this one. I really enjoyed this episode a lot. If this is the last episode than they left it on a good note.

I knew before I even saw this episode that it was going to be a version of A Christmas Carol, and considering that the holiday in question here would be Hearth's Warming instead of Christmas, I also knew that there would be some differences in the details.

I think the name of Starlight's character in the story was "Snowfall Frost", and I find it interesting that, like Starlight, she had intended to do something selfish without realizing just how terrible the consequences really were until she saw it all for herself, after which she decided to change her ways for the better. And amusing to me is that she was even given the same hairstyle as Starlight used to have as a subtle way of showing that she's not a nice pony (until the end).

I also liked how all the characters in the story were dressed up to reflect the 19th Century setting that you typically expect from this kind of story, both the main characters and the background characters.

Also, just before the second commercial break, Spike asked to take a break from the story to get a refill of hot cocoa. I think that might be the only moment in the entire series so far where something even close to a fourth wall break regarding commercials was made.

Overall, it was definitely another good holiday episode.

I was wondering why they didn't include Jacob Marley. Makes sense now.

The episode itself was alright. Song heavy but one of the better episodes of this season. I just find it strange that they'd do a Christmas special in the end of Spring/beginning of Summer. I did love how it was a retelling of A Christmas Carol but with ponies (although I am disappointed they didn't have Pipsqueak be Tiny Tim).

The episode was eh to okay. Like I said I don't like rarity episodes at all. She's such a drama queen and it's annoying. But over all it wasn't to bad. I sorta liked the interview segments where the other gave there real thoughts on her new store. And I liked how the two rarities the good and the bad where being sarcastic. And I liked the fact DJ-Pon-3 was in the episode. So overall they did a better job than the previous episodes since this seemed like more effort was added to it.

This episode had an interesting format of what I'd describe as a flashback within a flashback. The "present day" was Rarity reading the article with her friends, the "main flashback" was the article writer interviewing everyone, and the "inner flashback" directly covered the events of this episode. I'm pretty sure there's a name for this type of episode format, but I certainly have no idea if there really is one.

Kinda interesting that the reason Rarity's friends mess up is because when Rarity gives them certain tasks she believes they can each handle, they initially try to do what they think Rarity would do (with Pinkie Pie even going through the shoulder angel and devil gag), which predictably leads to to problems. They soon realize that they should do things their own way and that of course leads to a much better result.

With this being a Manehattan based episode for Rarity's new boutique, I knew that Coco Pommel had to make an appearance. Too bad she ended up with a cold and couldn't do anything to help.

We also had Pinkie Pie briefly mention the events of "Too Many Pinkie Pies", and in a funny background event, it looks like one of those Pinkie clones got away and is now living in Manehattan (now there's some fanfiction potential).

I had not expected this episode to be among my favorites, but the format they used was fascinating enough that I'll like this episode anyway.

~REVIEW POST!~

Well, let's see what I think after a whole day!  Spoilers below!

This was definitely a different approach, so I'm glad I took nearly a day to figure out what to say.  Who knew that such a coincidence would happen?  I chose to take a different approach and so did the episode.

The story is told from a newspaper article, which is told from a restaurant setting that goes back to the events that happened.  We often cut back to the restaurant for a laugh or two, but it's not done too often that you don't know what's going on.

Rarity is opening her second expansion, which is in Manehatten and the place needs some work.  One problem after another happens.  We not only have a place that needs work, but the backroom has raccoons, there's a place to party upstairs, the merchandise need to be organized, they need employees and the one who got you the place wants his daughter to be hired and she's not a good choice to be hired.  Disaster would be an understatement.

Saying things don't go well would also be an understatement.  Fluttershy asking the raccoons to leave only makes them angry, Twilight can't figure out the best way to organize everything, Pinkie can't truly bring herself to ruin the upstairs party, (Sure she tries, but even she is displeased with herself.) Rainbow can't figure out who to hire and Applejack gets on the bad side of the one who got Rarity the place.  All the while, Rarity is stuck setting up the front window because her friends locked her in there.  Can't let her know things are going so badly.

In the end, they figure out that they had to do things their way.  Rainbow hires all three applicants, Pinkie has the party moved to the boutique for the opening, Twilight gets everything organized and she unlocks the place Rarity was in just in time for the opening, Fluttershy hires the raccoons as servants and Applejack figures out how to work the owner's daughter's ideas in. (Spoons are clothes now.  Deal with it!) All in all, things went well in the end.

As for the points we cut back to the restaurant, a good chunk of those scene were enjoyable.  My favorite was when the check arrived for Pinkie she had the reporter pay for it.  That really got me to laugh.  That was only second to seeing that a Pinkie clone had escaped to Manehatten.  Better get Twilight on that and make sure she zaps the fake.

Oh, and I feel sorry for our dear Coco!  Hope she gets better soon.

This was a good episode and very fun to watch.  One I wouldn't mind watching again.  Very well done.

Next week, we have Rarity trying to give Applejack the day off.  Probably not the best idea.

See ya later! :wave

The episode was funny and overall enjoyable to watch.  It lacked the spark that I've come to expect from earlier episodes, but it was acceptable.  There have been quite a few stinker episodes through seasons 2-5, but almost every episode of season 6 so far has really been low quality.  I'm hoping this episode will reverse that trend.

This was a pretty enjoyable episode. The way the story was told was unique for MLP and it had some legitimately funny moments. I liked the idea of turning the boutique into a boutique/dance club. That was a pretty creative and clever idea. Also, the Pinkie clone being seen at the restaurant. I wonder if they'll follow up on that.

This post is not a review, but something I want to bring up in spoilers ahead of time and to keep in mind when you all give out your reviews.

In the episode, Applejack is shown to also raise pigs.  The question becomes why, especially with the vegetarian thing going on.  I looked it up and pigs are killed for more than just meat.  Apparently they are also killed for clothing, cosmetics and medicinal use.  This puts the world of pony at a darker light when you think about it.

Those who read the spoiler, keep this in mind when covering the episode, okay?

Okay today's Apple Jack episode was actually pretty good. I enjoyed it actually it's amazing we got another decent episode this week. The lesson in this episode was good. I liked how Apple Jack works very hard and tries to keep up with the farm. But I did like how she tried to take a day off and go to the spa with the annoying drama queen. And the way Twilight and Spike tried to help was very nice even tho they failed to do the task at hand. And Rainbow Dash needs to learn not to be a wimp. Who cares if she goes to the spa for massages and other stuff. But the lesson about trying new things instead of doing it a new way was good. It's hard to break out of old habits and doing it differently. But they pulled it off quite well. So I'll give this episode a 7/10. It was pretty thought out and decently written.

I have zero interest in spas, so I will say that this episode turned out much better than I had anticipated. More than once, just when I thought I had the whole thing figured out, things went in a direction I did not anticipate.

First, Applejack is frequently too busy with chores to go to the spa with Rarity. With the rest of the Apple family apparently out of town, Twilight and Spike offer to handle one of these chores so Applejack can enjoy just one hour to relax, but both sides encounter problems.

At the spa, the line for the one thing Applejack wants becomes so long that she decides to find the problem (which turns out to be a leaky steam pipe) and fixes it herself, but all of that takes up the entire hour. Meanwhile, Twilight (rather predictably) insists on following the checklist word for word, despite how each step turns out weirder than the last.

Now comes the direction I had not expected. Applejack explains why she does each step on that checklist, and her friends make her realize just how pointless many of those tasks actually are, due to the underlying problems they solved had already been fixed. So then they move on to some other chores, and what basically happens is that while Applejack has been doing tasks one at a time, her friends demonstrate how much easier it is to get the whole sequence done in one move.

The message of this episode (old habits that are very time-consuming can be hard to break) does get me on a personal level, for I will confess that I still have certain habits to this day that do take up quite a bit of time. While not as problematic as Applejack's, I have already identified many of them and even taken a few steps for improvements. So it is this personal connection that gives me a rather favorable view of this episode.

~REVIEW POST~

Good morning everyone!  Here I am with my review on yesterday's episode!  Spoilers below!

If a step seems unnecessary to get a job done, it probably is.  A truth I've learned far too well in my life.  Twilight is one that needs to learn that as well it seems.  She has the bad habit of following a list to the tee.  Even the unnecessary steps.  It what made taking care of pigs so difficult for her.  I wouldn't be quick to call the whole scene unnecessary, because it helps to establish a problem Applejack has.

Breaking any bad habits you have can be difficult.  More so the ones you don't realize you have.  Apparently Applejack has bad habits that make her chores take longer than necessary.  Once her friends showed ways that were both simpler and faster, her chores took far less time.  This allowed her more time for other things.  Thus finally getting that spa date with Rarity after so long.

Speaking of the spa, it seemed that it too had a bad habit going on.  Being in the same old routine can sometimes make you miss important details.  In a business like a spa, it uses a lot of hot water.  If there is a leak in the pipe that goes unnoticed, it can bring everything to a halt.  You probably won't even notice it because you are just so busy to pay attention to the fact that there could be a problem.  Once the leak was fixed, everything flowed smoothly.  So much so that the one providing the hot towels for the customers could take a break with said customers. (Love the scene, but he freaking earned that break!)

Finally, with the spa, I noticed Bulk Biceps still working there.  He's still giving his special massage, which we now know involves stepping on the customer's back.  Geez!  Spike probably suffered more than I thought.

Oh, and it seems Rainbow Dash likes the spa more than she lets on.  Likely just went in for a massage one day and they roped her in with everything else.  Businesses tend to have a habit of doing that.  It's kind of their job to do that so you can spend more of your money there.  It seems Ponyville Spa is good at it.

It was a good episode that handled the subject of breaking bad habits well.  It also did it in a direction that's not expected when addressing said subject.  It was good, but not great.  However, it is quite solid.

Next up, we have Fluttershy's lazy brother coming for a visit.  Yep, we get to expand on Fluttershy's family finally.

If I may put my two cents in about this show. I would just like to say that I have watched a couple of seasons of My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic.

The show itself is petty good. There a lot of good lessons kids can learn about situations that happen in real life too. Plus adults too.

I mostly watched it to see why it was so popular and now I can understand why.

Yes this episode was about family abusing your kindness. And Fluttershy's brother was a horrible character. The way he treated his sister and used her was just painful to see. The episode it self was okay and pretty decent. I liked how Fluttershy was very firm with her useless brother. And I liked how she stood up to him when her own parents couldn't stand up towards him. And the part where she said a not so bad word was very funny I laughed very hard. I liked how RainbowDash and Fluttershy gave him another chance even tho he didn't deserve it. And of course the song was as always very good and enjoyable to listen to. So I thought the episode was good and the lesson in the episode was well told and thought out.

(spoilers)
And with this episode, we finally know what Fluttershy's family is like (which now leaves only Rainbow Dash with at least some mystery to her family). Her parents are both rather similar to her (or at least what Fluttershy was like way back at the beginning of the series) particularly in being very kind, soft-spoken, and almost no assertiveness. Her brother Zephyr Breeze on the other hand is rather arrogant, obnoxious, sloppy, completely ignorant of the feelings of others, and basically a compulsive quitter.

Since Rainbow Dash has been best friends with Fluttershy for a long time, I knew she had to be already familiar with her family, though based on the conversation with Pinkie Pie and Applejack, it seems the rest of their friends are also at least somewhat familiar with them (unlike the case with Shining Armor when he first appeared on the show).

(I'd like to point out that I had totally hoped that Fluttershy's brother would be younger than her, and I'm glad I was right. Among the rest of the main cast, we've already got dynamics of older sisters, younger sisters, and older brothers, but not a younger brother, so I think it's great that all the bases have finally been covered, so to speak.)

Now for the episode itself. It seems that Zephyr Breeze has moved back in with his parents many times before already, since everyone involved seems to regard it as a usual occurrence. What finally changes things this time is Fluttershy's character development combined with some advice from her friends. And when Zephyr moves in with Fluttershy, she understands right away how much a problem this is, and immediately asks some of her friends to help out. They each give him a very simple task, yet he somehow makes excuses to not do them (though we never really find out what super-simple task Rainbow Dash had tried to make him do at Wonderbolts headquarters). Speaking of Rainbow Dash, I liked the running gag where Zephyr Breeze is somehow convinced that Rainbow Dash is smitten with him, but we can all see that's clearly not the case. I had not expected a song to be in this episode, but either way, at least now Zephyr Breeze is finally starting to take his first steps to improving himself (though he still needs to work on finding a home for himself).

On a more personal note, I must confess that I currently still have trouble figuring out what to do with my life, so I was particularly intrigued after first reading the synopsis how this episode would handle such a subject. Even though I understand some of my flaws, I will say that they are nowhere nearly as extreme as the case with Zephyr Breeze. I may be rather hesitant about working on new tasks, but at least in my case, all I really need is a bit of guidance to get me started and I can handle the rest on my own. I'm not sure if people as ridiculously lazy as Zephyr Breeze actually exist, but either way, I guess I'm a little relieved that, as bad as my shortcomings may be, they are nowhere nearly as terrible as they may be with other people.

~REVIEW POST~

It's hard for me to convey my feelings on the latest episode.  It's a simple "I want to hate it but can't" situation.  Get the spoiler version below.

You know, I've had my share of hated characters in the MLPverse.  There's Diamond Tiara, Gilda, Grumble, Flim & Flam, Trixie, Lightning Dust, Rara's Manager, (Refuse to remember his name.) etc.  We can now add Zephyr Breeze to that list.  Then again, the writers did everything for me to hate him (I had my breaking point BEFORE he broke his father's cloud collection.) and I can see that I'm not alone here.

He gets kicked out of his parents' home by Fluttershy herself because her mom and dad don't have a decent backbone.  When Zephyr moves in with Fluttershy, she already knows it's going to be a problem, so she immediately gets her friends to give him a job.  It doesn't go well because he's super lazy and has others do the work for him.  He even ends up getting a lightning bolt on him, courtesy of Rainbow Dash. (And that was the one we didn't get to see.)

The main problem with this episode is that he is the main focus.  It centers around a character whom you have little to no interest in enjoying.  Every second he is around you want to do horrible unspeakable things to him and a judge and jury would probably allow you to get away with it because they feel the same way.  It also feels quite rewarding when he gets what's coming to him when he's in The Everfree Forest. (How he wasn't killed yet in there is beyond me.)

Like the big sister she is though, Fluttershy helps him get back onto his feet when he is at his lowest point because that's what family does.  After that, unexpected song with him doing his calling the right way.  It was a good song, but not that great.  He then passes his classes and graduates. (Did we have a 4-year time skip here or was his classes much shorter?)

So, with all the low points in this episode, why can't I hate it?  Because it does everything right.  It tells the story and lesson well.  It has some cringe worthy moments, but also some great ones.

A favorite gag of everyone, myself included, is how Zephyr believes that Rainbow is smitten with him and the reactions she gives.  I know it's most likely a crush that Zephyr has, but Rainbow does not return those feelings period.  I can, however, expect the fandom to give us the Rainbow & Zephyr fics we don't need.

It's a good episode, but I likely won't watch it again just because of Zephyr.

Next week, we have Rarity and Pinkie Pie together in an episode.  It's also a Cutie Map episode!  Yep!  The map returns next week!

See ya later! :wave

So it looks like the reason we didn't see any map missions until now is because Starlight's time-traveling shenanigans ended up somehow disabling the map, and it's only now that she and Twilight have figure out how to fix it.

So Rarity and Pinkie Pie go to Canterlot and find a street where almost every restaurant is practically identical, with the one obvious exception being the Indian themed "Tasty Treat". (I personally am quite pleased to see another real world culture included as part of Equestria, even though the homeland of this father and daughter is never mentioned by name.)

This episode also had a rather interesting lesson: don't let the opinions of one particular critic dictate how you should do things, and instead let your own specialties and uniqueness speak for itself. What really allowed Rarity and Pinkie Pie to succeed in their map mission was not just convincing customers that Tasty Treat is a good restaurant, but also convincing the other restaurant owners on that street to forget about striving for some arbitrary rating and instead go back to what they were happy with.

What I think is interesting is how this map mission differed from those of the previous season. For each pair, you had one pony who seemed like an obvious choice for the place in question (Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle), and the other pony seemed less obvious yet turned out to be the one who understood the key to completing the mission (Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Fluttershy). This time, however, both Rarity and Pinkie Pie failed to do what they believed was right, and once they realized what they did wrong, they then swap tasks and receive much better results.

(Oh, and with this episode focusing on saving a restaurant, you might expect to see a pony reference to Gordon Ramsey. Well, just look inside the packed restaurant near the end of the episode and you'll see him sitting in the far corner.)
(end spoilers)

Personally, I welcome the mid-season break, as it'll give me more time to do other things I'm also interested in.

The final episode before the long hiatus was actually good for once. The writer has made poor episodes so far but this one was good. I liked how it was a Kitchen Nightmare type episide. Even Gordon Ramsey pony made a cameo witch I thought was a pretty good touch. The moral of the episode was good. The way annoying brat rarity judge the Indian restaurant because of there no hoof rating was really rude and very judgemental. But good for Pinkie Pie for ignoring that and she loved the food. So moral of the episode is don't change your cooking just because so rich snotty food critic pony didn't like your Cooking before. And the song was different but good. I liked the background music choice they used for it a lot. Overall I liked the episode it was nice homage to all the celebrity chefs out there.

~REVIEW POST~

Took me a bit with how I wanted to express myself with this episode.  It was good, but Rarity showed why she's at the bottom of my list for the main cast.  Yes, that includes Starlight, whom was at the bottom just for her backstory.  That really says something doesn't it?  I'll put one thing in spoilers below.

Zesty is NOT a food critic.  She rates the restaurants on 3 things.  Cuisine, decor and presentation.  She rates it on the type of food, the decor of the restaurant and the presentation of the food.  She doesn't rate it on how the food tastes.  One of THE most important factors of food. (Only ones that rival that are it looking pleasing and that it doesn't poison you.) That right there should be a red flag as to how bad the food is at Restaurant Row.  When you are getting ratings for a restaurant, make sure to check their background.  If they are not rating on taste, that's a problem.  Zesty was the actual problem of Canterlot restaurants.  She's not a food critic and she has no business calling herself one.  Reminding the other restaurant owners of Restaurant Row of one of THE most important factors of food will change the place forever and completely destroy Zesty's reputation.

The song was entertaining, but boy did they reuse one animation three times.  That was the only really annoying part of it.  Other then that, it was good.

Save for that rant I had to put in, good episode.  Now for the hiatus.  I hate hiatuses. x(cera

I'm very much looking forward to the GalaCon (http://www.galacon.eu/), the larges brony convention in Germany, which is going to be this weekend. It will in fact be the first convention of any sort for me. Nevertheless I'll end up on the stage since I successfully applied to participate in a "movie fights style" discussion panel called "pony fights" in which two other bronies and I got to "battle" over four MLP related questions. Since it is all in English chances are that you may be able to watch it on youtube later on if you are interested ;)

I'm also very much looking forward to meet Rocking Scorpion in persona at the GalaCon. Does anyone else from the GOF happen to be there?

I got to admit I am relatively inactive in the MLP thread here on the GOF, which is partly due to me trying to avoid any spoilers whatsoever. For the same reason I am visiting Equestria Daily only on very rare ocassions.
Recently however some of my MLP related stuff has been published there :D
Lately I have been doing quite a bit of MLP art and posted it on my Deviantart account (http://malte279.deviantart.com/). Maybe some of you are interested in taking a look there.
It's mostly MLP Origamis, but also soapstone carvings, tin casting, some computer drawn images and an aquarelle (the later mostly showing scenes from my fanfiction Lessons in quirks (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/249600/lessons-in-quirks)).

Live Stream Link below, but those in the US that have Netflix, it's been leaked!  I'll be watching that in about an hour.

Okay I just saw the new episode and like I said the show is very lacking as of late. Each episode is more painful to watch now than they use to be. So this new episode is about RainbowDash going to a daring do convention where she meets the ponyfied version of Remy the rat from ratatouille. And they get into a huge nerd argument over how they each like the differences of daring do. So I thought the episode was eh to okay. The new character was I thought annoying and a pain to sit through. But the lesson of the episode was pretty decent and okay. I did like the fact they worked out there differences in the end. So overall I'll give it a 6/10 this week. So it was a pretty good episode this week.

That was certainly an interesting episode, and definitely one for fans of anything to consider watching.

That new character Quibble Pants is a huge fan of the first few books, but despises the later ones so much that he refuses to acknowledge they even exist. In other words, he's like one of those Star Wars fans that hates the prequels, or one of those Star Trek fans that hates everything that came after the original series. I'm sure we're all familiar with those types of fans. (I bet even this show itself has quite a few of them as well.)

And then when he and Rainbow Dash get kidnapped, his snarky attitude led to quite a number funny moments. But by far my favorite part was this direct Indiana Jones reference:

"Are you crazy?! Don't go over him!"
"Go over him?! Are you crazy?!"
then after they go over the monster and escape
"You said go over him!"
"I said don't go over him!"

I'm honestly not sure what to expect for the rest of the season, but it's nice to see that I can still get some good entertainment out of these new episodes.

EDIT: Two things I forgot to mention. First, quite a shame that Twilight couldn't go to the convention due to her job requirements, which I'm sure a number of people can relate to this. Second, even though Quibble Pants now knows that Daring Do is real, he does not know that she and A. K. Yearling are actually the same pony (unlike Rainbow Dash and friends), so that probably might make him wonder how the hero and the author know each other and probably never realize the full truth.

Spoiler free!

Man, I really loved this episode. Most fandoms are plagued by people who violently peddle their opinions as fact, and I think this captured that rather well, though of course hugely toned down. If it were more realistic, it certainly wouldn't be appropriate for children :smile

And to commemorate Patton Oswalt's guest appearance, I'll end with a fitting quote from Ratatouille:

"In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."

It's important to remember to spend life creating, rather than destroying :D

~REVIEW POST~

The latest episode had a powerful lesson.  One that all fandoms can learn and yet it's also one that they don't want to learn.  That being respecting one's opinions and that you can like the same thing for vastly different reasons.  It's a lesson that took a lot of courage to give and a lot of skill to do it right.  Often we forget that opinions on media are as vast as opinions on food.  Everyone likes what they like and we should respect that, even if the reasons are different.

I predict that there will be those who learn this lesson from watching this episode and become better people, but we will also have those who saw this episode, ignore the lesson and prove to be the biggest jerks ever!  Time will only tell who is who.

Next week, we have the CMCs in a race-car derby and a certain trio taking over.

See ya later! :wave

I found it hilarious :lol
I consider the short time rescheduling of the release date to the weekend of Europe's largest convention for Bronies another fine example of how those in charge of the show take their unexpected fandom into account by now; especially given the theme of the episode :)
The GalaCon was awesome! I may link a video of the "Pony Fight Panel" in which I made an honorable second place once that video is up.
It was a great pleasure to meet Rocking Scorpion there!
At one point I could do some my little karaoke singing with Anneli Heed who voices (among other) Spitfire in the Swedish version of the MLP and who has been an awesome endorser of the Brony fandom from early on.

The new episode was pretty good.  I liked the episode itself, but Quibble Pants was annoying.  He was just your average annoying fanpony with absolutely zero depth.  Here's to hoping we never see him again, and that the fans don't obsess over his character like they did over Derpy.  I hated Fluttershy's brother more, but not much more.  It's sad that they keep introducing these annoying characters.  Before this season, the only character that was even mildly annoying was Cheese Sandwich (and maybe Discord, but only at a few moments).  But they weren't annoying ALL THE TIME, unlike these new characters (Quibble Pants, and Zephyr).

Stranger Than Fanfiction the episode says? Well fanfiction's already plenty strange so how much stranger could we possibly get?

This was a pretty hilarious episode. I can't believe they actually showed body pillows of all things. Quibble was pretty annoying at times though and just looked like a rule 63 Daring Do (who looks like a Rainbow Dash recolor. What a paradox).

I did find it especially strange that Quibble was complaining about how unrealistic the Daring Do books were when they live in a world with dragons, a bug queen who feasts on love to survive, a dragon/pony/deer hybrid who loves pranks, two princesses who raise the sun and the moon, and where the ponies manually change the seasons. Compared to their world, I'd assume Daring Do's pretty realistic. Besides, the three main pony races are capable of pretty much anything so how are Daring's adventures supposedly that far outside the realm of plausibility?

This episode certainly had an interesting set of circumstances. When the three different ribbons to win were mentioned (fastest, most traditional, and most creative), it was immediately obvious which of the CMCs were expected to get each of them (Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle respectively), and even the three fillies themselves acknowledged that assumption to each other. Yet, all three of them instead wanted to go for a different prize (Apple Bloom wanted to be fastest, Scootaloo wanted to get creative, and Sweetie Belle wanted to go traditional). This setup actually reminds me of the episode "The Show Stoppers" way back in Season 1.

But when Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity are invited by their respective younger sisters to provide the necessary help for building the carts, they immediately get carried away and pretty much end up completely stealing the show, going all out to win the naturally assumed ribbons, despite the fact that the three fillies all want different prizes. They even end up driving the carts, despite the rules stating that the younger ponies are supposed to drive.

In the end, all three carts end up crashing, taking out literally every other cart with them. So naturally, everyone gets angry at Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity, and the three apologize for getting carried away. They then suggest redoing the race, and agree to Cheerilee's new rule that the adult ponies helping with building the carts are not allowed to ride the carts at all (and we can see that ends up applying to every competitor, probably for the sake of fairness). In the end, the CMCs finally get real help from their sisters in building carts ideal for the prizes they want (though it should be noted that we don't find whether or not they actually win).

One interesting detail I saw is who were among the other competitors. There was Diamond Tiara with her butler, Snips with who I assume might be his dad, Dinky with Derpy, and of course a bunch of other background characters that I can't name.

There was also that song during the first run of the derby, and I can't help but get the feeling that it's referencing some classic cartoon about racing that I can't seem to remember what it was called.

~REVIEW POST~

I wouldn't say the latest episode was bad, but it's not good either.  I'd say decent to okay for this one.

Ponyville has the Applewood Derby and the kids get to participate with adults.  One thing I find more telling in this episode is just me questioning how old the kids are considering they're learning advanced physics. (The pi symbol was kind of a dead give away.) Anyways, with the prizes it was obvious which one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders were meant to win what, but even they acknowledge this and decide to each go for something different.  Definitely something that kept the episode interesting.

AJ, Rarity and Rainbow Dash taking over everything definitely feels like it's a personal thing, and each for their own reasons.  Rainbow Dash obviously wants to win the race.  Rarity wants to claim revenge for losing. (Derpy actually beat her.) Applejack wants to ensure tradition is followed.  This is so personal that they don't even listen to what their teammates suggest.  They even end up with what was expected because of this.  Heck, the takeover is so personal that they are the drivers instead of the kids.

The race then forces all of them to crash and all karts are destroyed.  As far as big wrecks go, the aftermath looked more then appropriate.  The Cutie Mark Crusaders then reveal just how big of jerks their teammates were and AJ, Rarity and Rainbow all apologize for it and the rules are changed.  Now the chosen adult has to help build it and only the child can race.  The CMCs now get the carts they want and things go smoother for the rematch race.  Sadly we don't get to see who wins what in the end.

As for the song, it was enjoyable and it helped the scene move along, though it felt mostly unnecessary.  Still, it wasn't that bad.

Next week, we have pranks going too far and Zombie Ponies.  Geez!  Why do I feel the next one is two months early?

See ya later! :wave

I actually thought this one was pretty good.  Not up to the same quality standards as the first season, but it felt like a second season episode.  We get some continuity with the first season because in the episode "Show Stoppers," we see that the three fillies try the roles that their big sisters would typically play (and it does NOT go well).  It seems that they've learned that they aren't mirror images of their sisters and try their own thing.  I generally dislike episodes that don't center around the mane6, but this one was pretty good.

This was certainly an interesting episode.

I actually noticed quite a few callbacks to the Season 1 episode "Griffon the Brush-Off". Both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie enjoy pranks, but Pinkie is actually smart enough to know that it's not nice to pull certain pranks on certain ponies (such as any prank on Fluttershy). Also, one of Rainbow Dash's pranks resulted in Spike unknowingly sending a ton of letters to Princess Celestia.

Anyway, after a prank against Fluttershy, Rainbow's friends start by politely asking her to not do that again, but she takes the message the wrong way and starts pulling tons of pranks on everyone, making things even worse. So next they ask Pinkie Pie to talk some sense into her, but Rainbow Dash refuses to listen. With words not working, everyone in town has no choice but to take action, and thanks to Pinkie Pie's brilliant idea, it achieves the desired result. Rainbow Dash learns that while pranks can be funny, it's not okay to do them to those who won't enjoy them.

I also liked Rainbow Dash's final prank of the episode, claiming that she'll need to think of an even more epic prank to get back at the whole town, only to admit she's just kidding when they think for a moment she hadn't learned her lesson.

~REVIEW POST!!~

Before I begin my review, I am going to announce that next week, I will not be posting the online link due to an early work schedule that day.  Everyone will have to hunt it down next week.  Sorry!

Anyways, this week's episode was enjoyable to watch.  It's nothing more than a fun time in my eyes.  Time for the spoiler version!

Pranks are fun.  That's one thing Rainbow Dash knows very well.  However, certain pranks on certain ponies is not a good idea.  Sometimes you can hurt someone far more than you mean to.  Heck, the one pulled on Cranky I found to just be plain cruel.

However, then comes the big payback prank.  Everyone eating Rainbow's tainted cookies (Seriously, how did she pull that off?) and acting like complete cookie craving zombies after eating said cookies.  Legitimately scary and probably one of the few things you could get away with in a kid's show these days.  A Halloween Episode appearing two months ahead?  Why not?

It's a fun ride to be had and one to take with the idea that the writers were probably just having a good time with this one.

Next week, Discord on a Bro's Night Out!  More fun to be had there!  Especially with the master of chaos running around.

See ya later! :wave

So why didn't anybody tell me there was a part two to Mare Do Well?

That's seriously what this episode was just Mare Do Well part 2. Rainbow Dash acts like a jerk, her friends as well as the whole town get sick of it, then her friends (the town too in this case) set up a plan to get back at RD and make her learn a lesson. Only this time, it was actually somewhat justified (although Rainbow Dash had to be out of character for it to be but I digress).

Some of the pranks were pretty mean. The Cranky one was pretty cruel, sort of the same for the one Dash pulled on Spike (although it was kind of funny). The one she pulled on Rarity was pretty clever and I didn't see it going the way it did and I have to admit, I did bust out laughing at Twilight sitting on a whoopie cushion. The zombie ponies were a cool idea but I didn't find it scary since it was pretty obvious it was all an act.

Well it was better than the previous episode but it still could have been better.

Summary: Spike travels with Twilight and Sunburst to the Crystal Empire to see Flurry Heart, but they soon find the kingdom on lock down due to a report of a changeling spy in the area.

Let's hope that the episode doesn't make Shining Armor and Cadence too big of jerks for this one.  I mean, they have good reason to not trust the changeling race in general, but there's only so far you can go before their attitude is unjustifiable.

Well, here's the link for the Live Streams.

See ya later! :wave

I liked it overall.  With what happened during the wedding between Princess Cadance & Shining Armor I can see their reaction being what it was.

I think this might be the first episode of the season that I thought was actually really good.  I liked how after six seasons, Spike was finally able to get his own song and it was a pretty touching one too. Thorax was a great character and I hope he appears in future episodes.

Also, I have to give this episode credit for giving depth to the Changelings and showing that they're not all bad. It's always nice when a series adds a grey area to its characters or races. Perhaps the Changeling at Cranky and Matilda's wedding was Thorax or maybe a Changeling like him who doesn't like violence or robbing ponies of their love.

I think it'd be interesting if there were future episodes that introduced other Changelings like Thorax who wanted to be good and befriend ponies.

I'm happy to announce we finally had a good episode for once. I really enjoyed the life lesson in today's episode. And the new changeling thorax was actually good I enjoyed him a lot. And Spike finally got his own solo song and it was really good. This episode get's a 9/10 from me.

This was certainly a good episode.

Twilight, Starlight, and Spike go to the Crystal Empire and at first are confused by the fear of the citizens and the suspicion of the guards. But thanks to Twilight confirming her identity with her special chant with Cadance, they are then told about the sighting of a changeling. Spike agrees to help the guards, sends them all off in different directions, and then stumbles into a cave where the changeling named Thorax has been hiding in fear. Unlike all the others of his kind, he has no higher ambitions, and only wants to have a friend.

I honestly wasn't expecting Thorax the changeling to speak in such a normal voice, but I must say that I now find it more acceptable than what I had originally anticipated. We also got a brief insight into what infant changelings are like. And when Thorax began using his disguise, Spike once again uses his surroundings to come up with a fake name on the spot. (Last time he did that was for Ember as "Sandy Rockbeach", and this time it was for Thorax as "Crystal Hoof".)

And after Spike's very first song in the show, Twilight steps forward and proudly sides with Spike, and soon everyone else does. I personally think that Thorax's hope of one day spreading friendship to the rest of the changelings may be a little lofty, but at least the ponies can now count on having at least one changeling on their side.

~REVIEW POST~

So, we have a rare treat here.  A Spike Episode that's good. Last one was Gauntlet of Fire and it's hard to think of one before that.  Clearly Spike is getting some much needed love this season.  Spoiler version below.

One thing I will point out is that they give justifiable prejudice.  We cannot forget what happened with Shining Armor and Cadence on their wedding day.  They have every reason to be prejudice towards changelings in general.  Also, if they told the Crystal Ponies what happened, is it any wonder they are also prejudice towards changelings?  Prejudice may not be a good thing in general these days, but if a horrifying experience like that happens to someone, it is justifiable in this case.

Thorax would've had a better chance making friends with ponies pretty much anywhere else. (Save for Canterlot.  I'm sure they've got security measures for changelings after what happened.) It's not a smart move to go into the place of your enemy, after all.  Sure, he was starving and desperate, but you'd think he'd use his brain a little.

One thing I didn't like is that I felt that the ending was rushed.  It just felt too easy for Princess Cadence and Shining Armor to accept a changeling to be their friend after what happened to them, but I'm sure fan-theory stories of what happened after the episode will help remedy that.

I did like how Spike came up with a decent name for Thorax just by his surroundings.  Crystal Hoof would actually be a passable name in the pony world.  The writers knew what they were doing here.

I also liked how the changelings looked after being born.  They can actually get away with being called "cute" there.  I expect a good amount of fanart with those things.

However, I didn't enjoy the song.  It felt too simple for the situation and I felt it was WAY too repetitive.

Also, I don't feel that Thorax will be accomplishing his new goal anytime soon.

In all, it was a good episode, but it doesn't hold a candle to Gauntlet of Fire.  That's still Spike's best by far.

Next week is the Discord Episode.  I know I'm right on this one and I'll be back to normal by then.

See ya later! :wave

I'm so close to catching up. My opinion of the season so far: season 2 level of quality. None have stood out as excellent to me so far and if I were to marathon up to the most recent episode, I'd probably get bored and drop the show. I did that with S2 and didn't watch it again until S4. I think I'm on the episode after Rarity's Manehattan boutique opening. So far, I haven't been able to identify an overarching plot, again similar to season 2. Unless I haven't been paying close attention. I'm very interested to see how the season will conclude.

Good morning, Everyone!  The Lord of Chaos has come to bring us another episode today!  Let's see what he has in store for us! :)

Summary: When the Mane 6 leave town, Discord decides to join Spike and Big Mac's top secret Guys' Night; Much to Discord's disappointment, the Guys' Night turns out to be an evening of fantasy role-playing.

Yep!  The Mane Six are hardly in this one, if at all.  At best, we'll get a goodbye scene and we're on to the plot.  If we're lucky, they'll tease an upcoming episode.  As for the rest of the episode, I expect that Discord will have his fun by making the game more realistic.  We'l see what happens.

Anyways, link for the Live Streams below!

Just watched it and it wasn't that bad. It's not great but it wasn't bad either. I liked how discord turned there fantasy game into a reality. That part was cool and awesome. The lesson if you can even call it a lesson is I guess don't judge a book by it's cover I guess. Not really sure tho. So all in all I have it a 6/10 this week.

I once said that any episode that includes Discord is sure to have lots of gags and funny moments, and this one is no exception.

So the girls are off to Yakyakistan, leaving Discord to reluctantly spend time with Spike and Big Mac. Of course, Discord's idea of a "guy's night" is way different than what Spike and Big Mac enjoy, and that inevitably leads to conflict. They eventually part ways, feel bad for each other, and then apologize (something Discord is clearly not used to). Plus, the real-life version of their game turned out to be cool enough that Spike and Big Mac agree to try it again, albeit without being too life-threatening.

And then at the end of the episode, the girls return and see the guys still in the middle of their "real-life game", which Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie quickly decide to join as well. That certainly wasn't something I expected, but it was still just as entertaining as the rest of the episode.

~REVIEW POST~

A very nice episode for the latest one.  It was a nice change of pace to have some lesser characters focused on for this episode.  I would have liked there to be more characters in this, but I guess you can only do so much.  Spoiler version below.

So the Mane Six are headed to the colder region of Yakyakastan with Princess Celestia.  Since that's not seen as a good episode, we are stuck with Spike, Big Mac and Discord enjoying a Guy's Night Out, and what do Spike and Big Mac think is a Guy's Night Out?  Playing the pony version of Dungeons and Dragons; something Discord wasn't too fond of doing himself.

In fact, the episode got quite interesting when Discord decided to make the game realistic.  It was also, albeit scary, more enjoyable for Spike and Big Mac.  This sort of thing they ended up playing all night long and were still awake doing when the Mane Six returned home.  In fact, both Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie joined in on the fun.  A twist you don't see coming.

Definitely a good episode that I wouldn't mind seeing again.

Next week, we have Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie being good at something that their friends don't see coming.

See ya later! :wave

Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and some characters we haven't seen since Season 1 are going to be in today's episode.  Get the summary below!

Another good episode, and with an excellent lesson too.

The new sport of Buckball comes to Ponyville, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash immediately get to work building a team, which requires one of each type of pony. After some practice with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to find a unicorn for the team (with virtually all volunteers being completely pathetic), the members selected for the team are all surprises: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Snails.

And with an upcoming game, Applejack and Rainbow Dash attempt to train the team as hard as possible, but the effort backfires and leave Pinkie and Fluttershy thrown off their game. Facing too much pressure, Pinkie and Fluttershy quit the team (with a bit of interesting role reversal between the two at that moment too).

Thankfully, Applejack and Rainbow Dash soon realize the mistake they made, and come up with an interesting way to fix everything. They claim to be willing to fill-in for Pinkie and Fluttershy, but are in need of practice, so they play against each other just for fun. At the end of practice, Pinkie and Fluttershy are doing great again, and are then asked if they could take back their places in the team. As for the remaining issue of how to deal with the pressure, it's Snails who offers a solution: "Just don't think about it." And in the end, it all works out great for the Ponyville team.

The message of this episode was a pretty good one. Some people thrive when under pressure, while others do better when they're just having fun, so don't expect the same strategy to work for every team.

I thought the episode was decent not to bad. I didn't hate it as much as I thought I would. The lesson was pretty good I think. Stuff I didn't like was AppleDash forcing there ways of team spirit on to pinkie pie and Fluttershy. There way of playing was just fine in my opinion. And snails wasn't annoying this episode. He needs more solo episodes. So I have to give today's episode a 7/10 it wasn't that bad actually. It was written well this week.

~REVIEW POST~

A very well made episode that I enjoyed quite a bit.  Spoiler version below!

First off, DID NOT SEE LITTLE STRONGHEART!!  THEY LIED TO US!!  At least that's what the fandom is saying, but I'll have more confirmation on that later today.

Snails being as talented as he is with levitating objects is definitely out of left field, and he's just about the same age as the Cutie Mark Crusaders?  Why is this guy not in Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns again?  He'd probably pass the test.

Some might bring up Magical Mystery Cure since Pinkie sucked at bucking back then, but I argue she could have gotten better over the past two and a half seasons.

However, biggest shenanigan has to go to Fluttershy with how she blocks.  Let's just think about this for a second.  She grabs the ball with her tail, spins around several times while still holding it with her tail and then, using the momentum, throws the ball back to her teammate all in one smooth motion.  I don't want to use a smilie here to express how shocked I am at that, but it seems to defy everything we know about pony logic.  There's only so far a writer can go with breaking physics before they obviously don't care about them and I think we've reached it.  I would make up the excuse of Fluttershy being part monkey with how she used her tail in this episode, but considering neither of her parents are monkeys, I really have no explanation other than the writer for this not caring about physics here. (Other than a monkey teaching her a thing or two?  I wouldn't put it past her at this point.  OH!  Fan fiction idea!!)

Also, good to see that Fluttershy is still knowing the right thing to say when it needs to be said.  They don't care about being in "the zone", they just want to have fun with the game.  Them having fun is when Fluttershy and Pinkie are actually good at it.  This really serves as a good lesson in the end.

A good episode, but the logic with Fluttershy's tail still baffles me.

Next week is the skipped episode of this Season where the CMCs help a young griffon.  See ya later!

Post by: The Chronicler on September 05, 2016, 05:20:42 PM
I think the belief that Little Strongheart would be appearing in this episode was nothing more than a rumor. If I remember correctly, the only true fact we had to go by was "somepony we haven't seen in a while plays a significant role". I guess so many people assumed it would be Little Strongheart that the rumors just kept feeding on each other, and everyone forgot the difference between the one true statement and all the rumors that followed.

I think the pony that was referred to in that vague statement might have actually been Snails. While it's true we've seen him from time to time (most recently in Carts Before the Ponies just a few weeks ago), I don't think he's had a role this prominent since Boast Busters way back in Season 1.

Basically, the lesson we should take away from this is simply to not trust rumors, and this incident is an excellent example of why you need to be careful about knowing which parts are facts and which parts are rumors. I have always been skeptical of rumors and never believed in any of them, at least not until after any official confirmation, so I wasn't disappointed at all that this rumor here turn out to be false.

Post by: ADFan185 on September 05, 2016, 05:39:03 PM
Yeah some rumors are true and some aren't. I wasn't disappointed that I didn't see her in Saturday's episode. And to me buck ball looked like the ponyfied version of quiddish to me. But I know it was supposed to be the ponyfied version of Football. But some of the fandom are gullible so they'll believe in everything they hear.

Oldest and greatest foes returning. Hmm. I wonder if it's Chrysalis. It would make sense since we were introduced to Thorax. Maybe he'll provide some kind of help in defeating her.

Also, since I didn't give my thoughts on the last two episodes. They were pretty good. The Discord one reminded me a lot of that Spongebob episode where Mr. Krabs joins Spongebob and Patrick for some guys night out stuff but it turns out the things they like to do are really lame. I was just waiting for Spike and/or Big mac to ask, "Are you feeling it now, Mr. Discord?"

The last one was alright. It was neat seeing another sports related episode and finding out that Pinkie and Fluttershy were actually really good at buckball was pretty cool. Too bad Rarity and Twilight weren't with them. I just thought it was strange (although understandable) that the rest of the Mane Six were in this episode aside from them. Maybe Twi and Rarity had to solve a friendship problem then.

Now, despite the leak, I really have not been spoiled too much.  Main reason is that I tried watching the Polish version, but couldn't get more than 5 minutes in.  It just didn't feel the same.  I had to stop myself.  So, I really don't know what happens in the end.  Please don't spoil if you know.

Anyways, on to the summary.

Summary: The Cutie Mark Crusaders have gotten a reputation around town for helping others with their cutie marks.  However, their skills are put to the test when a griffon asks them to give her a cutie mark.

Even though it might be predictable, I'm going to keep an open mind on this one.  Let's see what happens.  Get the link for the Live Stream Versions below!

The episode was okay the new perky griffon gabby was annoying. We don't need a second pinkie pie character. The plot was pretty good I guess not great. I did like how the crusaders tried very hard help her find her place in the community. So all and all I'll give it a 6/10 it wasn't good but it wasn't bad either,

So it looks like the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally have a rather good reputation all over town, and they've apparently been doing very good at their special talent of helping other ponies understanding their special talents.

Then along comes a young griffin name Gabby (thus continuing the tradition that all griffin names start with G) who has a much more positive attitude than most griffins. In fact, it was the visit by Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie back in the previous season that inspired Gabby with the hope that she could have a cutie mark and discover her true purpose.

As I suspected, the CMCs ask Twilight and she confirms that there has never been a single case of a griffin getting a cutie mark. But of course, that doesn't stop them from trying, and they decide to reuse their old habit of trying everything possible. Remarkably, Gabby turns out to be good at literally everything on the list, but no cutie mark comes of it.

After the apparently failure, Gabby tries to fake having a cutie mark (I totally knew it was fake from the start). But after that's exposed, they soon realize that Gabby's special talent is helping others, and is even made a member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
(end spoilers)

I recently heard that the reason this episode was delayed was so there could be a CMC episode in the second half of the season. Kinda odd, but at least I understand it.

By the way, I recall there was a member here who is from Poland, but he hasn't been active in years. Besides, I doubt he would even be interested in this show, anyway.

Sorry that I didn't give my thoughts.  Even though I did like it, there wasn't much I wanted to talk about other than what has been pointed out by Chronicler in his review.  I pretty much had the same thoughts as him on this one.

Anyways, next Saturday, we have Applejack and Fluttershy in Las Pegasus with the return of two certain con artists we know all too well.  Let's see how the writers adapt The City of Sin into a kid's show.  I expect plenty of downplaying with this one.

See ya later! :wave

The episode wasn't to bad at all. It was no master piece or anything. I liked how the Flim Flam Brothers team up with AppleJack And Fluttershy to stop Gladmane's plain. It's nice that for a short time the brothers where good guys for a change. And the lesson I thought was pretty good and well told. So all and all I enjoyed the episode quite a bit and found it pretty enjoyable. I'll give it a 7/10 for this week.

As with Rarity and Pinkie Pie's map episode earlier this season, the map send the two ponies perfect for solving the friendship problem (though it takes them a while to figure it out), and the source of the friendship problem happens to be a figure of authority who needs to be removed.

This time, we see Las Pegasus with a resort owned by Gladmane (practically an Elvis impersonator, complete with the "thank you very much" catchphrase), who claims the secret of his success is to be everyone's friend, but the true secret is that he's also everyone's only friend (by tearing apart other friendships and making everyone reliant on staying with him). This ends up applying even to the recently employed Flim and Flam, who are now refusing to cooperate for probably the first time in their lives.

Applejack stubbornly refuses to help Flim and Flam, so she looks around for other friendship problems and ends up finding similar issues with all the performing groups. Fluttershy's sense of kindness to help even Flim and Flam ultimately leads to the brothers realizing the truth and reconciling, and that leads to the unlikely alliance to expose Gladmane's intentions. Galdmanne eventually sees through the trick they set up, but this lets him fall right into the real trap and with the word out, his dreams of a citywide empire are ruined.

Once Gladmane is gone, Flim and Flam take ownership of the resort and immediately go back to their old ways. (They regarded helping Applejack and Fluttershy as a "once in a lifetime opportunity, emphasis on once.") I said this when they last appeared back in Season 4 and I'll say it again: Those two will never learn their lesson.

Interestingly, according to Gladmane, Flim and Flam are actually good at different things, rather than just being completely identical. One is good at something, and the other is good at something else (but I forget which of them is good at what).

~REVIEW POST~

This episode was entertaining.  It was good but far from great.  Get the spoiler version below.

So, we have a Cutie Map Episode this time around.  We are heading to Las Pegasus.  Everyone thought it was going to be Las Vegas ponyfied, but due to the fact they had to keep it kid-friendly, it's not.  So in the end, they made it one big Amusement Park City.  I guess that's one way to downplay The City of Sin.

For this episode, we have the two least likely characters to end up going there, Applejack and Fluttershy!  It's no surprise the two would consider themselves the least likely to go to such a place.  Applejack is a pony whom does not prefer the big city and Fluttershy is still a bit tense about being in large crowds.  Still, couldn't be too bad, right?  Wrong!

At least they have someone there who knows the two.  Meet Gladmane, an Elvis knockoff! (And everyone in the stream thought he was a Donald Trump knockoff!  He really is making everyone behind the times, isn't he?) Yep, Fluttershy and Applejack are kind of celebrities to him.

Anyways, everything seems good.  Fluttershy even makes quick friends with an entire prairie dog family.  However, not all is sunshine and rainbows.  Enter our lovely two con artists, Flim and Flam... and they are squabbling with one another, and it turns out to be the friendship problem.  All things considered, Applejack takes it pretty well.

It's no surprise that Applejack wouldn't see it as the friendship problem.  Her history with them alone makes that apparent pretty fast.  She goes off to find a different friendship problem while Fluttershy tries to figure out the problem with Flim and Flam.

Turns out, it's not just Flim and Flam whom have problems with one another, but others as well.  After some digging, it turns out that Gladmane is behind it all, telling lies so that he's their only friend.  It ends up being the TRUE secret to his success.

Fluttershy's kindness and Applejack's honesty leads the Flim Flam Brothers to finding out the truth and the unlikely alliance brings them together.  Flim and Flam develop a plan within a plan, completely unknown to the audience.

Basically speaking, Fluttershy dresses up as some very rich mare and has one of the brothers talk for her as to not give away the ruse right away.  However, as they try to make Gladmane reveal his true secret, it doesn't work.  He even takes off Fluttershy's disguise in the process.

Ultimately, Applejack and Fluttershy confront him at his office.  Gladmane doesn't consider the Flim Flam Brothers finding out to be a big loss.  He even reveals his plan to make a city wide resort.  The one thing he doesn't notice while he's giving his Evil Monologue?  Fluttershy with her hoof on the intercom button.

All is revealed to the ones he didn't want to know and ownership was given to Flim and Flam.  However, not before the two are back to their old ways conning off ponies.  They never learn.

Like I said, good but far from great!  Next week, Starlight Glimmer tackles friendship problems herself.

See ya later! :wave

I have to say, I'm really liking the episodes that feature Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight practices some impressive magic talents with Twilight (such as teleportation, transfiguration, shields, and even some of her own ideas that come from combined spells, like temporary duplication). However, she has not attempted any friendship lessons since Trixie, and with Twilight and Spike out for the day, she attempts to try helping all five of their friends at once.

It's quickly obvious how that doesn't go well, so she hastily decides to combine three spells into one to help her out, but it only makes matters worse. Now all five of her friends have been reduced to emotionless automatons who are completely dependent on her orders to do anything, and follow said orders very literally (I'll admit, I could barely bring myself to watch through that part of the episode). Starlight struggles to make the best of it, but ends up making things even worse, until Twilight comes home and sees the big mess.

After Twilight removes the spell from her friends, she then helps Starlight understand that what she did was very wrong, and the next day, Starlight apologizes to them for her actions. In the end, after their friends decide to help her clean up the big mess in the castle, Starlight finally understands the real purpose behind those friendship lessons; not to be better at doing things, but simply having a good time with good friends.

By the way, I noticed throughout this episode that we got to see some other rooms in the castle for the first time, such as Starlight's bedroom (among the pictures on the wall is a portrait of Trixie and one with the old equal symbol crossed out). Always nice to see new places, even if they're inside a building that's already been around for some time.
(end spoilers)

Next Saturday will show not only another new episode, but also the next Equestria Girls movie (albeit only on Netflix). I expect people to post it online not long after, so I'll definitely be looking forward to it next week.

~REVIEW POST~

I don't know what ADFan185 is talking about, but this was actually a good episode. (Seriously, go in depth, bub!  Don't make such short posts that barely explain anything.  Discuss WHY you didn't like it.) My thoughts below.

One thing becomes obvious with Starlight Glimmer in this episode right off the bat.  It's the fact that she's VERY good at magic.  Not just being able to use powerful spells, but also combine different spells into new ones.

However, she hasn't done a friendship lesson since Trixie.  In fact, it's also obvious how nervous she is about tackling such things.  Despite this, Starlight decides to tackle the friendship lessons she's been putting off while Spike and Twilight are away.  However, she decides to tackle them all at once.

Anyone can guess how badly that goes.  We've seen Twilight when she freaks out, but Starlight is on a whole other level when it comes to freak outs.  She hyperventilated and did not think straight.  Resulting in her using a combination spell to fix this problem.  The spell made the five obedient to her every whim, with zero way of thinking straight.  This sort of thing results in a disaster that you just have to watch as it unfolds.

"How can things get any worse?" How about Twilight gets back home.  There ya go, Starlight!  Things are worse!

After fixing the spell that was on her friends, Twilight helps Starlight understand how wrong of a thing she did.  She has Starlight apologize.

Now, a lot of people seem to forgot the kind of ponies that Twilight's friends are.  If you are sincere and honest with your apology and truly sorry, they will see it and be willing to give you another chance.  Starlight accomplishes this and the five choose to help her clean up the place.

During this time, Starlight unwittingly tackles those friendship lessons she was putting off.  What she was worried about was not being good at that stuff, but that sort of thing doesn't matter with true friends, whom are willing to help you out.  There was just one last lesson.  Chillaxing with Rainbow Dash.  Chillaxing is something that Starlight needs to work on as well it seems.

Again, a good episode.  Next time, Twilight has to figure out what happened when three of her friends have different stories.

See ya later! :wave

Post by: The Chronicler on September 26, 2016, 06:30:29 PM
Technically, this movie was not leaked. What really happened is that it actually aired in Brazil this past Saturday. Now, you might think that this means we would see it only in the country's language, Brazilian Portuguese, but the network apparently gives viewers the option to select a different language to play it in, including English. And considering just how massive the brony community is (and that Brazil is a rather large country), it was pretty much inevitable that someone over there would post the English version online.

I was a little too busy yesterday to get a change to watch it, and that video you linked is already taken down. Thankfully, a quick search later and I was able to find another video of the full movie and got to watch it this afternoon. Don't expect to be so lucky for the rest of the week, because literally just minutes after I had finished watching that video, it had also been taken down. Just as well, because it was slightly disrupted in a couple of places, so even though it was watchable, I'd rather wait another week for the official US release before trying to watch it a second time (and I'm planning to watch it plenty more times). I'll wait until after I've seen it a few more times next week before I post my thoughts on it.

For now, now that I've seen this movie at least once, I can now start planning my next fanfition. :)

I don't need to waste my time watching something over and over again to make my review of it. I just need to see it once than I review it. So one I watched it I thought it was gonna suck and be s complete waste of my time watching this movie. But as I watched it I had my mind Changed a bit. It was ACTUALLY a pretty decent movie I thought. The new characters I thought where okay. Timber Spruce grew on me as the movie went on. Gloria was a little annoying trying to handle everything her self even tho she failed on that part big time. It was kinda nice to get a human version of Filthy Rich in this movie even tho I can't stand him. And of course it was awesome to have all of the background characters in the movie. Derpy, the couple Lyra and Bon Bon Vinyl Scratch Octavia And the rest of the gang. The plot was pretty decent I thought where everyone was there to help save the camp and fight off Gloria's evil form. Music as always very well done the songs where amazing and very catchy. The powers they had where very amazing and awesome. Pinkie Pie's exploding sprinkles where awesome and cool. I loved how Sunset Shimmer looked through Pinkie Pies mind and saw her crazy and amazing thoughts she thinks of. So all and all I did enjoy the movie for what it was. I'll give it a 8/10 witch is very kind of me. And I don't mind watching it again to be honest with you guys.

Again not the best kinda sucked like always. I thought the plot was rushed and not needed. The whole fight was dumb and pointless. They blamed all of this stuff on each other for no reason at all. The far fetched stories of each where kinda entertaining not really. So I will say that this episode not good. I give it a 5/10 for this weeks episode.

Another interesting episode. Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack had such a rough trip that they refuse to even be near each other, forcing Twilight and Spike to go to each of them to find out what happened.

All three stories followed a basic set of similar events, but each of them differed in the details, especially in how everyone apparently behaved. I'm sure there will be some fans who will use the clues from all three stories and attempt to figure out what really happened down to every detail.

Anyway, Twilight figures out the key similarity was the cucumber sandwiches going overboard and realizes the real cause of the boat sinking was an unintentional act from a friendly sea monster. In addition, each of the three ponies wanted to provide a unique experience for the two others to "bring them out of their comfort zone", all without realizing the others had the same general idea, too.

Not much else to say, but still a rather interesting kind of episode.
(end spoilers)

Even though I'm aware that all four remaining episode will be showing early in the UK this coming week, I've decided to not watch them and instead wait for the episodes each Saturday as I normally would. It's just too much effort to keep up with it all in a single week, and unlike with Equestria Girls, I'm in no rush to find out what happens.

As for the new Equestria Girls movie, I'm afraid I've been unable to find it available online today (I don't have Netflix, and I don't want to see the Brazil broadcast again with its interruptions and annoying network graphics). I'm hoping it will be available either tomorrow or the day after, so if anyone could find a video of the full movie (Netflix version, not Brazil version), I would really appreciate a link.

~EPISODE REVIEW POST~

Man, talk about something that was at least entertaining.

In this one, Twilight and Spike (Twilight being so excited that she tired out Spike.) get to the train station to see Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie return from their boat trip. (Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are conveniently away at their High School Reunion that we don't get to see.  At least the writers gave a reason for them to not be around.) However, when they get back, the three of them aren't in the best of moods and take off in different directions from one another. (A nice touch, Pinkie being Pinkie climbs over the train when she leaves.)

Seeing that they are upset, Twilight decides to find out what happened.  They each have their own story to tell.  I did at least enjoy the made up versions of the characters of each of the stories. (To some extent.) Captain Applejack was a riot and the idea of Rarity bringing too many ponies I could see happening.  Anyways, none of them give a concrete story. (Not even Applejack, the Element of Honesty.)

However, they did have similarities.  The big one being cucumber sandwiches being tossed overboard.  Twilight suddenly figures out what was going on and she gets all three of them back together so she can explain what happened.  Turns out, it was some sort of sea monster that enjoys cucumber sandwiches which capsized their boat.  On top of that, each of them were just trying to bring the other two out of their element to have some fun on the trip.

I could definitely see the fans trying to piece this together.  Best to keep an eye on Fimfiction to see what they come up with for it.

I'll give my movie review next.  Oh and Chronicler, don't worry too much about seeing the full version.  I've got you covered there.  I just need to find a good time to record it with my new screen recorder.  There's sadly too much background noise right now to give a decent recording.

Anyways, next time we have a Friendship Problem at Wonderbolt Academy.  This time, it's Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

See ya later! :wave

Well I've finally managed to watch the latest episodes so with the exception of episode 20, I'm pretty much caught up with this season. I tried watching the episode on Dailymotion but then an ad popped up, got blocked, and messed up the video so it wasn't showing anything. I wonder if episode 20 might be on Google Video 'cause I don't think Dailymotion's going to work for me and Youtube only has clips from the episode.

Also, the latest episodes were pretty good. Wondering how the new Equestria Girls is going to be.

Well then, I guess it's okay that I couldn't get to screen recording it.  I was at my mom and dad's house today and my nephews were there.  You can guess just how loud they were.  The dogs weren't helping either.

I also couldn't find a good time after that and by the time I did, a thunderstorm started up and I don't want any background noise when I record it.

So yeah, nothing but bad luck here.  Guess I can talk about my screen recorder when I get the chance.

Post by: The Chronicler on October 05, 2016, 06:30:42 PM
According to rumors I've heard, episode 23 didn't air in the UK today because there was at least one reference to cider. In Europe, cider is always considered alcoholic, so some episodes shown there have to be cut to remove any references to it, so I guess it's for the best that it'll first be seen here in the US after all.

The other episodes are still very uncertain, and to be honest, it's got me quite nervous. I would really much rather that all these episodes be shown in the US first for a few reasons. The first is the possibility of content being cut or altered, as I already stated above. The second is that I'm worried that once the US version does air, it'll be hard to find online compared to the earlier showing. (After all, even though I found a couple of videos on Dailymotion of the Netflix version of Legend of Everfree, most of the search results still show mostly the earlier Brazil broadcast, so it really does seem like the internet works on a first come first serve basis.) Not to mention, there will also be fact that, due to US shows and Europe shows made in slightly different framerates, an American show broadcasted in Europe needs to be played at a slightly different speed to fit the same time slot, resulting in a slightly higher audio pitch.

Sorry if it seems like I'm rambling, but this confusion over foreign broadcasts really gets to me. I personally would have much rather preferred another iTunes leak instead of this.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on October 06, 2016, 09:45:18 PM
I'll wait until after the US release to give my thoughts on these episodes (so please try to keep spoilers to an absolute minimum until then). The only reason I decided to actually watch them is because I'm frequently on fimfiction.net, and it's possible some people might post stories related to these episodes, so I figured watching the early releases just once would be enough for me. (But I still intend to watch the American version of these episodes at the same rate I've been watching all the previous episodes.)

By the way, last night as I was keeping an eye on Equestria Daily to see if the episode would air or not, I read some comments and one of the Mods assured everyone that they would still provide streams (and later uploads) of the American broadcast of these episodes, as usual. Plus, the UK broadcast is only available in standard definition, and while I personally don't care much for video quality, there are some people who do care quite a lot, so that gives me hope that videos of the American airing of these episodes may not end up being as hard to find online as I initially feared.

Anyway, now that I've got some time to spare, I should also say my thoughts regarding Equestria Girls, Legend of Everfree.

(spoilers)
Almost right away we see a rather interesting development. Human Twilight is apparently still going through emotional trauma after the incident at the Friendship Games in the previous movie. This is unlike Sunset Shimmer who, while certainly regretful for her past actions, was less concerned for her own well-being and more focused on proving to everyone that she had become abetter person. Of course, Twilight didn't have to deal with the exact same issues Sunset did, but it was rather obvious how much more sensitive Twilight is about what had happened.

So this movie takes place almost entirely at Camp Everfree. In addition to the main seven, many other students from Canterlot High are there, while some other students are notably absent. And everyone, including Celestia and Luna, are wearing more camp-friendly clothes instead of their usual outfits. Plus, some of the background students actually get to speak up a bit (most notably Bulk Biceps).

And of course we have the two new characters, Gloriosa Daisy (camp director) and her brother Timber Spruce. Almost right away, Timber and Twilight develop feelings for each other. Unlike the relationship between Princess Twilight and Flash Sentry, Human Twilight and Timber actually take the time to get to know each other throughout the movie. At least Flash Sentry understands that there are two different Twilights and (after a talk with Sunset) begins to accept that his relationship with the pony princess from Equestria will never work.

Anyway, I really liked how the main seven girls gain new magical abilities while they're at camp. Applejack is super strong, Rainbow Dash is super speedy, Fluttershy can talk to animals, Rarity can create large diamond constructs, Pinkie Pie can turn any sugary object into explosives just by tossing them, Sunset Shimmer can look into people's minds, and Twilight Sparkle can telekinetically move objects. Of course, Twilight's ongoing trauma means that she is the last one to embrace her new powers, and it is only thanks to the support of her friends at the moment her help is needed most.

And finally there's the conflict coming from Gloriosa, who has gone short on funds and finds herself at risk of losing the camp to Filthy Rich. When she discovers a set of magical crystals, she takes most of them and secretly uses their power to help make what she fears to be the final session of camp the best possible, often backfiring in other ways, while Timber decides to cover her actions with "the legend of Gaea Everfree". Eventually, with stress piling up, Gloriosa takes drastic measures and takes all of the magic crystals, turning her into a magical monster with immense power over plants. Naturally, the main seven fight back and take those crystals away from her, returning everything back to normal.

In the aftermath of the incident, everyone gets together to hold a fundraiser to save the camp, with the main seven using their magical powers to help out. And at the end of it all, the seven girls realize that the magical crystals they now possess are the source of their new powers, and will be keeping them. That only leaves the question of where those magical objects actually came from (and we see in the final scene that magic is staring the leak through a crack in the portal).

I really liked watching this. Among the other Equestria Girls movies, I'd rank this as equal with Friendship Games, ahead of the other two. And with the main cast now in possession of incredible powers (almost like a team of superheroes), I'll certainly be looking forward to where this series will be heading next.
(end spoilers)

Also, it was officially announced recently that there will be a Season 7 of MLP, plus there will also be three Equestria Girls specials. All of that plus the MLP Movie means that 2017 is sure to be an epic year for the series.

Well, looks like I was wrong once more as to what episode would be airing.  It does not involve Twilight and Rainbow as I thought, but Applejack.  So, get the summary below.

Summary: When Apple Bloom tells a white lie to cover up a mistake, Applejack shares the story of how she came to value honesty after telling a series of lies that almost destroyed the farm and landed the whole Apple family in the hospital.

Some fans speculate this could be a heavy one.  Let's see.  Get the link to the Live Streams below.

Everything about this episode was terrible and horrible.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

(spoilers)
This was a rather mixed episode for me. I really liked how we got some real backstory on both Applejack and Big Mac, but I also kept cringing at young Applejack's series of lies growing increasingly out of control (though I suppose it's understandable why Applejack herself says that she isn't proud of what happened that day).

To give some context of how far back those events took place, Filthy Rich had been only engaged to Spoiled Rich (named Spoiled Milk at the time). If we assume Diamond Tiara and Apple Bloom to be the same age, then that confirms Applejack's parents were still alive at the time, which makes their absence in this episode rather curious.

It's actually rather complicated how the events of this episode unfolded. Applejack wants to be the one to one day take over the farm and has plenty of big ideas, while Big Mag frequently disagrees. With Filthy Rich now taking over his family store, Applejack wants to prove her capability, so she makes a promise for selling cider in the store, but Granny Smith won't allow it, forcing Applejack to go back on her promise. Filthy Rich threatens to cut off business ties (which would ruin the farm) if Applejack goes back on her word, which makes her lie about Granny Smith being sick. One thing leads to another as Applejack and Big Mac struggle to keep Granny Smith and the Rich couple away from each other, leading to all of them visiting the hospital, and it is when Granny Smith is about to unknowingly hack off one of Big Mac's legs that Applejack finally confesses to her series of lies.

I was pleasantly surprised that this episode explains not only why Applejack is so honest, but also why Big Mac hardly ever talks. Big Mac used to be very talkative, practically saying everything except eyup or nope. And while Applejack learned how a simple lie could send things spiraling out of control, Big Mac learned that he could avoid a lot of problems if he simply listened to others instead of talking all the time.

I also noticed how almost everypony looked slightly younger during the flashback. Applejack was no longer a small filly but not quite an adult, Big Mac was a little smaller, and even Granny Smith had a slightly younger appearance. This was also seen in the background a bit too, such as Cheerilee in her "teenage appearance" seen way back in Season 1's "Call of the Cutie", and we even saw Derpy at the hospital with bandages over her eyes (I think we all know what might be the reason for that).

With the amount of backstory revealed in this episode, I will say that this was definitely worth watching, despite its crazy moments.
(end spoilers)

Like I said earlier, I'll give my thoughts on the remaining episodes when they air in the US over the next two weeks, as usual.

~REVIEW POST~

Don't know why it took me so long to get to this.  Guess I just wasn't in the mood to type this up or something.  Anyways, spoilers below.

Geez, talk about a plot that makes you feel as bad as the character does.  Even Applejack knows these lies weren't good ones.  It really taught her to take honesty to heart and shows what can happen when you lie to hide a lie.  It just causes more lies and causes more trouble until everything escalates out of control. (But really?  Big Mac was going to lose his leg?  Geez!  That's dark!)

Not to mention that it really shows that Pony Filthy Rich is quite different from the Filthy Rich we got in Equestria Girls.  The one in Ponyville is much kinder.  Not to mention he deserves a better wife than what he got.

Oh, and while I'm pointing that out, it seems the tradition of taking the husband's last name upon marriage does exist in Equestria, just not as widespread.  It didn't happen with Shining Armor and Cadence, but it did with these two.  Makes you wonder what will happen when the Mane Six get hitched.  Will they take the husband's last name or won't they?

However, it seems a new trend is developing with the fandom on the origin of Applebloom.  Sadly though, I don't think they have a case for saying she's adopted or Applejack's daughter.  My explanation of her parents being on their Anniversary Vacation and having a night where they conceive Applebloom makes more sense to me and nicely explains their absence.

So, despite there being cringe-inducing moments, I'd say this was a good but far from great episode.

Okay, so next time is Twilight and Rainbow Dash at Wonderbolt Academy solving a friendship problem.  It starts in the UK in just a few hours.

See ya later! :wave

Okay just saw the new episode And it didn't suck like the other God awful episode did. Top Bolt was actually a pretty good written episode with actual character development. The two new characters skyscraper who I didn't like much at all. Since he was a real jerk and thought he knew everything but turned out he sucked and his friend was helping him. So dispite that the way RainbowDash and Twilight helped them was pretty good and helpful. I liked how they told her how it was when they caught her red hoofed with her helping him all the time. So to be fair I'll give this episode some good credit I enjoyed it a lot.

Even though this episode had already aired earlier this week, I'll still hide my comments regarding it in spoiler text as I always do. The same will apply for next week's season finale.

(spoilers)
The two other map missions this season had involved friendship problems that were only resolved by tearing down an unfriendly system, but this one had none of that and was really just a problem between only two friends, Wonderbolt recruits Sky Stinger and Vapor Trail. I actually found this to be a nice way to show how diverse these map missions could really be.

I really liked the dynamics between everyone involved in this episode. Sky Stinger is even more of a bragger than Rainbow Dash ever was, but isn't aware that most of his talent is due to Vapor Trail's assistance, who has only wanted to help him ever since they became friends. They do just fine working together, but Wonderbolt tryouts are solo tests, something that neither of them are ready for (despite Sky Stinger's denial). Twilight offers to help Sky, and Rainbow offers to help Vapor, but both Twilight and Rainbow can't agree on whether or not they should tell the truth to Sky.

Eventually, Vapor confesses to her actions, and although they initially go their separate ways, Twilight and Rainbow soon convince them to help each other, and by the end of tryouts, they're back to being good friends again.

This episode certainly had it's good moments, with my favorite being what Rainbow Dash said at both the beginning and the end of the episode: "I was just there!"

Well, this was a good episode to see.  Not to mention, it holds a new couple with plenty of shipping potential.  If I don't see fics of the new couple by next week, I will throw quite the tantrum.  Anyways, onto the spoilers.

Oh man, was this one good.  Rainbow Dash got done with Spring Training and was headed home to relax, but was called by the map with Twilight back to Wonderbolt Academy.  There goes her restful week!

This Friendship Problem though is just two friends whom would have really hurt one another.  The two are Sky Stinger, an egotistic stallion who thinks he's too good, and Vapor Trail, a mare who was just looking to joining because her best friend was, and Sky Stinger's Wing Pony.  These two were pretty much instant shipping material.  There's really no avoiding this one.

The fact is that Vapor was making Sky look good since they first met, (With Sky being none the wiser.) but now the solo trials are coming and they would both fail without the help of Twilight and Rainbow.  Vapor Trail needed to improve on her tricks, but Sky needed a serious wake up call.  He wasn't even close to good.  He was okay, but he could barely get the most simplistic tricks down without Vapor's help.

In fact, when Vapor just snapped and let out the truth, it nearly broke them apart.  However, after Twilight and Rainbow get them back together, the two made vast improvement and got into the Wonderbolt Academy.  Way to go, Vapor Trail and Sky Stinger!  I only expect greatness from here on out from those two.

Twilight and Rainbow Dash get back home, and what do you know?  There's an emergency back at the Academy.  Just Rainbow's luck!

Next time is the finale.  Starlight is up against an old foe of the Mane Six.  Don't miss the two-part end of the season.

Surprisingly, there are still no video links available for today's US broadcast. As a result, the only option for today was the old UK broadcast. I really hope the American HD broadcast will be available soon. But for now, I'll still give my thoughts on the episode as usual.

(spoilers)
Starlight is invited to a festival in her old town and is understandably terrified. When Twilight suggests that she bring a friend with her to help her relax, who does Starlight choose? Trixie. So the two head out, but once they arrived, Starlight panics from everyone asking her to make decisions for them, so Trixie helps her to escape.

When they get back to Ponyville, all of Starlight's friends are obviously acting unusual, but it's not until Princess Luna calls for help through a dream that she realizes the Changelings have returned, and this time Queen Chrysalis has pulled out all the stops. Changelings have already replaced all four princesses and their close associates, eliminating all of their potential threats.

Starlight ends up joining forces with Trixie, Thorax, and Discord to go rescue everyone, but due to the special material of Chrysalis's throne, no magic (besides changeling magic) will work within a certain range of the hive (which Discord frequently complains about). After a long journey and chase through the confusing passages inside the hive, Discord and Trixie end up captured, while Starlight and Thorax reach the throne but are quickly discovered.

Just when all seems lost, Starlight realizes that the reason Thorax had no longer felt hunger was because he had been sharing love instead of stealing it like other Changelings, so she suggests that he do just the same against Chrysalis. Then when other Changelings decide to side with Thorax, the result is the throne being destroyed, everyone is freed, and those Changelings take on a different form, almost as if that's what they were meant to be like all along, with Thorax transforming into a stronger form that essentially makes him the new ruler of the Changelings.

So now Chrysalis stands alone against everyone, and when Starlight offers to let her change her ways instead of seek revenge as she once did, Chrysalis immediately rejects the offer and flees. After that, Starlight invites the freed ponies to celebrate at her old town, where she also apologizes for running away earlier.

For this finale, I have to say it was pretty interesting seeing all the significant characters be taken out rather quickly, leaving only Starlight and a bunch of "secondary characters" to join forces to save Euqestria. Trixie certainly had her moments (even referencing her love of peanut butter crackers for the first time since the original Equestria Girls movie), as did Discord (like his attempt at stand-up comedy to a group of Changelings), but the two of them together really made some of the best moments of the episode (such as at the very end where Trixie rejects Discord's offer of magic show assistance with "When pigs fly!", and Discord responds by having them both ride on flying pigs.).

As for the new Changelings, it's definitely an odd design, but I'm sure I'll get used to it over time. And considering that Chrysalis will continue to seek vengeance, along with the possibility that there may still be Changelings out there still loyal to her, we could very well soon see a Changeling civil war.

Definitely another great way to end another good season of the show.

Also, I'd like to point out this bit of confirmation:

Season 7 will begin sometime next spring, and the three Equestria Girls specials will each be 22 minutes long, the same length as the TV show episodes.

~REVIEW POST~

With the links for the episode STILL not being up, it makes me wonder if Hasbro is being more vigilant after what happened with the episodes airing early in the UK.  In the meantime, on to my review.

This is an episode that requires you to watch both parts to make sense of a lot of the episode.  Not to mention that it encourages fans to come up with theories as to how the changelings accomplished so much.  There was indeed no fooling around here.  Capture all the princesses and the Elements of Harmony and Equestria is pretty much screwed.  Accomplishing such a thing is quite a feat and I don't think any future villain is going to top what Queen Chrysalis pulled off.

So then we have the new changeling form.  Accomplished by sharing their love.  I must admit it's an odd design, but I feel it's something that one can get used to.

Of course, there's one thing I must congratulate the creators for.  Which is Chrysalis NOT getting the reform treatment.  Instead, we can expect her to seek revenge in the future.

On top of that, we had Starlight get just enough character development to be more acceptable I feel.  What they have planned for her in Season 7, I don't know yet, but we'll see.

So yeah, a good episode that has a very well done story and encourages fans to ponder about what was done here.

Well, now for the hiatus.  See ya all next year for more pony! :wave

I actually watched the season finale a few weeks ago when it got leaked and it was really good. I certainly wasn't expecting it to end the way it did but it was a really nice ending. All the former villains (plus Thorax since he was never really a villain) all played off each other very well. I won't say anymore because I don't want to spoil it. It was really that good.

It feels a little strange to be in another hiatus but that might also be since quite a bit of this season got leaked early so for me, technically the hiatus started a couple weeks ago. Either way, this season had a lot of week parts to it but there were also some pretty fun ones. I especially liked the introductions of Tender Taps and Thorax. I really enjoyed these characters and I hope we get to see more of them come next season. I do think it was too bad that Babs Seed didn't show up though. I was hoping that maybe she and the CMC would meet up and maybe try to help some ponies get their Cutie Marks around Manehattan. Oh, well. Maybe next season hopefully.

Yeah now we're in a hiatus and I wasn't a fan of season six at all. It had tons of horrible episodes and plots in each episode. The only good things that came from season six was a couple new characters that I actually liked. Sunburst and Thorax. And only three episodes where actually good the rest where horrible. And they where painful to sit through. But even tho this season was to me the worst season ever I guess I'm glad I sat through all the episodes. So now the hiatus has began I can now focus on my life more now and work on other stuff.

I only have one serious question about it.

HOW DO YOU LOSE THE FRIENDSHIP MAP!?

No, I'm being serious here.  How do you lose something that is bolted down?  I just don't see how that's possible!  Sure, Starlight was able to malfunction it, (Albeit unintentionally.) but how do you lose it?

Whatever!  I guess they'll explain in the episode.

Gotta head to work.

Hello, Everypony!  So, tomorrow is the start of Season 7 and it is rather interesting.  Normally, we have a 2-part episode at the start of the season, but not this time.  Only 1 episode to start off the season.  Hopefully, it'll be a good one.

Anyways, this means you all get greeted with my multiple posts through the season.  Here's how it's going to go.  On Friday evening, I shall post the summary of the new episode the next day.  On Saturday, I'll post the link to the live streaming of the episode and shall post the link for those who watch it on YouTube/Dailymotion.  Finally, on Sunday, I'll post my review.  This is how it'll go all through the year.

So I shall see all of you tonight when I give the summary.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on April 15, 2017, 09:00:12 PM
Once again, it's time for me to get back into the old routine. Only this time, we have a season premier that's not a two-part episode. (Previously, the only time we did not see a season bookended by two-parters was the finale of season 1, so that's really significant.)

(spoilers)
For the first episode, there's a celebration at Twilight's castle where Starlight, Trixie, Discord, and Thorax are awarded what is apparently the Equestrian version of the Medal of Honor for defeating Chrysalis and saving Equestria. But when Discord gets a little nosy around Twilight regarding what's next for her student Starlight, she ends up panicking from lacking such a plan and secretly decides seek advice from her own mentor, Princess Celestia.

We got to see some interesting things in this episode, such as Twilight's "fantasy projection" spell to share her thoughts with others. But perhaps what was especially exciting to see was that Celestia is in fact a lot more like Twilight than we had ever imagined! She had known Twilight hadn't been making any friends while studying in Canterlot, and had personally visited Ponyville before determining that it would be a great place for Twilight to learn about friendship. However, Celestia was surprisingly reluctant about sending Twilight away, and ended up holding off on her decision until practically the last possible moment.

I have to say, the Season 7 premier episode is by far the closest we've ever come to that Celesia-focused episode that the fans had be hoping for for years.

For the second episode, we see a continuation of Starlight's friendship with Trixie, while the Main 6 head out on a friendship bonding experience (specifically Twilight's idea, which involves working together to escape from a locked room full of puzzles).

However, it seems that Trixie's arrogant and shameless attitude starts getting on Starlight's nerves, and it gets especially bad when Trixie's very first attempt at teleportation ends up sending the friendship map table away to some location that Trixie quickly forgets (how convenient). Starlight deals with her anger by using a spell to literally vent her anger into a red fog and storing it inside a bottle. But as the day goes on and they can't find the table throughout Ponyville, an accident breaks the bottle and the anger is released through innocent bystanders directly at Trixie.

Starlight eventually confesses her anger towards Trixie, allowing her to reabsorb her anger cloud and freeing the innocent ponies. They soon find the friendship map table at the spa where they had first met and bring it back to the castle just before the Main 6 return. Although Starlight doesn't share any details, Twilight is still proud of her for learning a friendship lesson all on her own.

I'm almost done with it and it's not great it's meh at most. The plot is weak and boring the part where Twilight is freaking out over nothing was kinda annoying. So far I can sense this season sucking. Maybe there will be a couple good episodes but I highly doubt it to be honest with you.

~REVIEW POST~

Me: Okay, I talked to Pinkie Pie, and I was able to secure three others for the review of first episode and restrict Starlight and Trixie for the review of the second episode.  So, without further ado, here's Twilight, Celestia and Discord.

*Twilight, Celestia and Discord teleport in.*

Me: Alright!  Black text, go!

Twilight: I didn't know humans could use that sort of magic.

Me: It's actually far more of a technology thing.

Discord: Ohh!  Neat! *snaps fingers* *changes color*

Me: DISCORD!  I'M TRYING TO HIDE STUFF ABOUT THE EPISODE!  Change it back!

Discord: *sighs* I'm only doing it because even I hate spoilers. *snaps fingers*

Me: *sighs* Thank you!

Celestia: So, why exactly are we here?  Pinkie was vague on the details.

Me: We are here to talk about the episode that recently aired, Celestial Advice.  I basically give my thoughts on various points and we talk about them.

Twilight: Oh!  That's easy.

Me: First off, Discord, you're such a troll!  If it wasn't for you, Twilight wouldn't have gone into insane amounts of worry about Starlight's future.

Discord: *chuckles* I know, but it was too much fun to pass up.

Twilight: *glares at Discord* So, you only did that to cause some chaos?

Discord: Harmless chaos, but still chaos.

Me: Twilight, I was very impressed with your spell that showed off what you thought could happen if you sent Starlight somewhere.

Twilight: Oh, you liked that?

Me: I liked the concept, but there were points where it was obvious that you didn't fully know the personalities of some characters.  I couldn't help but facepalm at the Dragon Lands one.

Twilight: *laughs nervously* Yeah, I did go over the top there.

Me: In hindsight, if you did send Starlight away, out of the three, the Crystal Empire would have been the safest and most rewarding for her.

Twilight: Really?  But couldn't she have --

Me: I don't think she would have gone into such spells so un-readily.  If she was to make some sort of spell like you imagined, she would have had a plan.  If she thought it was too unsafe, she wouldn't have done it.

Twilight: *thinks for a second* I guess you're right.  Maybe I shouldn't have been so worried about that one.

Me: However, the fans felt something interesting would have happened if you picked that one.

Twilight: Really?  What?

Me: *whispers in Twilight's ear*

Twilight: I'm not sure if Starlight feels that way about Sunburst.

Me: The fans would disagree.

Twilight: I may need to talk with her just to make sure.

Me: Celestia, I'm surprised at you.

Celestia: About what?

Me: Well, first off, the fact you haven't said a word.

Celestia: I felt it polite to speak only if you addressed me.

Me: Okay!  Second, that you have more of Twilight in you than I thought.  You really didn't want to let her go, did you?

Celestia: Indeed, I did not!  It was the hardest decision I had to make in my life.  I admit, I did something no teacher should do.

Twilight: Which is what?

Celestia: I grew attached to a student as if they were my own child.

Twilight: Really?  You felt about me in that way?

Discord: Ugh!  This is getting too sappy for me! *snaps fingers* *disappears*

Celestia: Yes, and I was proud to have you as a student and to break that rule.  I never would have got to known such a great pony if I didn't.

Twilight: I guess I've broken that rule with Starlight.  I've grown attached to her myself.

Celestia: *chuckles* And I'm proud of you for it. *hugs Twilight*

Me: *clears throat* Back to the episode, Twilight, are you sure it was a good idea to let Starlight graduate so soon?  I almost feel like that was a hasty decision.

Twilight: I'm sure I've made the right decision.  She could learn more about friendship than I could hope to teach her.

Me: Alright, we'll see where this goes at least.  Also, you seemed to turn into Pinkie Pie, personality-wise, when you gave Starlight her present.

Twilight: *chuckles nervously* I was just so happy that she was staying.  I guess Pinkie Pie has rubbed off on me a little.

Me: Well, that's all I have to say about the episode.  It was good, but not as good as some of the Season Openers that we've had.  All-in-all, still good.

Celestia: Well then, I shall take my leave. *Celestia disappears*

Twilight: I'd better go too! *starts to ready her magic*

Me: *stops her* Uh, hold on!

Twilight: What?

Me: I want you to stay for the second episode review.  You were a main character as much as Trixie and Starlight were for it.

Twilight: Oh!  Okay!

*Starlight and Trixie teleport in*

Trixie: The Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived!

Me: *groans and brings a hand to his face in irritation* *slowly brings it down face* Alright!  Let's get this over with.

Trixie: Uh, is there a problem?

Me: Long and short of it, I don't like you Trixie, but I'm stuck with you because you're one of the main characters for the episode we're going to review, All Bottled Up.

Trixie: *sighs* I guess The Great and Powerful Trixie can't please everyone.

Me: Anyways, black text, go!

Trixie: Oh, can I try! *readies magic*

Me: No!  Don't--

Trixie: *changes color* Red text!  Blue text!  Orange text!  Green text! *changes colors rapidly*

Me: Trixie!  Stop that!  We need to hide the spoilers!

Trixie: Ugh!  Fine! *changes color*

Me: *sighs* Thank you!  First off, Starlight, I think it was a bad idea to tell her how to perfect the transmogrify spell.

Starlight: Yeah, but I was just trying to be a good friend.  Especially with the teleport objects spell.

Me: Which then led to the entire table of the Friendship Map teleporting away by Trixie.

Twilight: It what?

Me: Oops!  Did I say that out loud?

Twilight: *brings her face right to Trixie's* You teleported the Friendship Map away?

Starlight: Hey, we got it back to the castle before the end of the episode.

Twilight: Still, how did she --

Trixie: In hindsight, Trixie missed the apple that was on the table and hit the table itself.  Quite an accomplishment for Trixie's first time.

Twilight: But, where did it go?

Me: To the spa, though she conveniently forgot at first, which led to them going around town trying to find it.

Starlight: *glares at Trixie* Yeah, quite convenient!

Me: Which led to you *points to Starlight* literally bottling up your anger through the episode.

Starlight: I was too worried what would happen if I let out my anger at her.  I didn't want to lose the first real friend I got in a long time.

Trixie: *laughs* Trixie won't leave just because you get mad at her.  You're Trixie's best friend.

Starlight: So, you won't leave if I get mad at you?

Trixie: Trixie promises.

Me: Okay, with that done, Starlight, you need to remember to vent out your anger at appropriate intervals.  It's not good for you if you don't.  Heck, it strangely led to a bunch of innocent ponies getting your anger and letting it out on Trixie.

Starlight: I know that now, and I'm really sorry for all that.

Me: Apologies accepted and all that.  Now, let's go to Twilight.  Enjoyed that puzzle with your friends?

Twilight: Yes we did! It was a lot of fun.

Me: If only you didn't sing that song, which I liked, you would have broken that record.

Twilight: We should have turned the key first then sang the song.

Me: *laughs* Yeah, you should have.

Starlight: So, how was the episode to you?

Me: Eh, enjoyable!  Nice time waster, but not something I'd go back to.

Twilight: You know, your reviews seem less harsh than those of another poster on here.

Me: That person has too high of expectations as far as I'm concerned.  Plus they've lost hope for the series not being good and therefore can't see it as such.

Starlight: That was a long one.

Me: Two episodes in one post.  What do you expect?

Trixie: I'm sure everyone will enjoy The Great and Powerful Trixie.

Me: Let's just end this.  Goodbye, everyone!  See ya next week!

Twilight, Starlight & Trixie: Bye!

*Twilight, Starlight and Trixie teleport away.*

Me: Well, at least I got through without killing Trixie.

I hope the other episodes are better this is not turning out to be a good season at all. The second episode was again terrible Trixie is still a God awful careless jerk that doesn't have respect for anyone at all. Starlight was a big wimp for not telling that jerk trixie what she was doing was wrong. She shouldn't have bottled up her emotions at all. She needed to tell her how she really felt. So overall I give this episode a 3/10 it was kinda painful to sit through

Okay, I'll make this as interesting as I can, as I'd like some responses:
Putting aside the reception to the first episodes for season 7, I feel there should be an episode
centered on one topic: the choice for married couples to not have children, or the case
of MLP, foals. Specifically, the episode could feature a newly-married mare and stallion who have chosen not to have foals, and they give their honest reasons why. My idea is that Pinkie Pie is the one who asks the couple in question when they are going to have foals, and they tell Pinkie that they do not want foals, that they do not desire to be parents. At first, Pinkie has trouble understanding this, but learns that there are good reasons for not having kids as there are for having them.
So, yeah, I feel there should be an episode about the childfree choice.

I can see you've decided to use an entirely new style of review, pokeplayer984. Certainly seems entertaining, I have to admit. Anyway, onto my review.

(spoilers)
Twilight and Spike agree to help a group of sick kids at the hospital and already have a checklist with a planned three-hour schedule, but then Cadance and Shining Armor suddenly make a surprise visit and ask Twilight to babysit Flurry Heart for the day. Twilight instantly agrees, despite Spike's concerns for good reasons.

Cadance and Shining Armor had decided at the last minute to take some time away from caring for Flurry Heart by visiting an art gallery by Spearhead, an old friend of Shining Armor from the royal guard.

Meanwhile, Twilight initially enjoys spending time with her niece, but when Spike points out that they're already behind schedule, she immediately starts to panic, but also tries to keep Flurry Heart happy while running those errands. But on every single stop (toy shop, a book from Cheerilee, and some snacks from Pinkie Pie), Twilight is unable to watch Flurry Heart while focusing on the tasks, and the baby alicorn causes problems that force Twilight to apologize. It gets especially bad at the hospital when Flurry Heart accidentally loses her favorite toy and in her frantic searching sets everything floating around and is only stopped when Twilight yells at her, though Twilight quickly apologizes.

At the end of the day (after Twilight has sent out apology treats to everyone thanks to Pinkie Pie's party files), Cadance and Shining Armor realize they actually miss having their baby around and return just in time to see Twilight once more having a good time with Flurry Heart. Despite the positive appearance, Twilight doesn't deny how much trouble taking care of her niece had been, and everyone agrees to never spontaneously make or agreed to such a request again. From now on, they'll plan their meetings ahead to avoid such issues.

~REVIEW POST~

Me: Okay, I'm about to start, but Twilight seems to be running late.

Twilight: *comes running in* *screeches to a halt* We're here!

Me: *facepalms* Oh no!

Twilight: What?

Me: You brought Flurry Heart.

Flurry Heart: *makes baby noises while waving at the audience*

Twilight: Well, she was the star of the episode as much as I was.

Me: I know, but she's not safe here.  There are those who want her dead.

Twilight: What for?

Me: Remember how she nearly destroyed The Crystal Empire?

Twilight: Uh - Yes.

Me: You may have forgiven her, but many haven't and want her head.  It's one reason I'm glad I put up a chain link fence before this started.

*in the distance, several audience members are trying to break through the fence in rage.*

Me: Be glad that we are in an enclosed area where the fence goes all the way to the ceiling and to the walls.  I don't know how long it'll hold, but please, for Flurry Heart, return her to her mom and dad, whom I do see off screen there.

Twilight: *sighs* *levitates Flurry Heart in front of her* Sorry, but you have to return to Mommy and Daddy now. *kisses her on the cheek*

Flurry Heart: *makes baby noises and nods* *returned to Shining Armor and Cadence off screen*

Me: I had a feeling you'd bring Flurry Heart.  Now you understand why I had you use the back entrance that's protected by guards?

Twilight: Yes!

Me: Okay then, let's begin.

*SPOILERS*

Twilight: So, did you like the episode?

Me: Very much so!  I bet you were surprised to see Shining Armor, Cadence and Flurry Heart.

Twilight: I was!  I was also more than happy to watch Flurry Heart for a day.  I just couldn't say "no" to spending time with her.

Me: Well, if you ask me, it looked like Shining Armor and Cadence needed a break.  Taking care of a baby is a lot of hard work.

Twilight: *sighs* I was a little tired by the end myself.

Me: However, you were more than happy to visit a few sick kids that all came down with the "Horsey Hives".  Is that contagious?

Twilight: Kind of, but you only get it once and then you're immune to it for life.  I got it when I was a foal.

Me: You think Flurry Heart caught it?  She was around those kids.

Twilight: Uh, there is a vaccine for it these days.  It was only made a few years ago.  I'm sure Flurry got all her shots.  So, she's probably immune to it by now.

Me: Well, for your sake, I hope so.  Anyways, Flurry Heart got hungry not long after you accepted to watch her.

Twilight: Yeah, that was a bit difficult, though I think it's more due to her obviously not liking mashed peas.

Me: She looked like she had fun, though.

Twilight: It did put us behind schedule more than I would have liked.

Me: Nice game you came up with while you were at the Toy Store.

Twilight: I was looking for both a way to have fun with Flurry Heart and get it done as quickly as I could. *laughs joyously*

Me: Too bad that the moment you took your eyes off of Flurry Heart, she got into trouble.

Twilight: It was no problem fixing that pyramid of stuffed animals though.

Me: Then there was the visit to Ms. Cheerile where you had to get a book and the moment your eyes left Flurry, she messed up the blackboard.

Twilight: Yeah, I really felt sorry for Ms. Cheerile having to rewrite the whole problem on the blackboard again.  I would have done it, but I was already way behind schedule.

Me: Next came Sugar Cube Corner where you had to get treats for them and get an "apology gift" for Cheerile.

Twilight: Yeah, I thought it was a good idea.

Me: Too bad Flurry Heart didn't stay out of trouble.

Twilight: She did break a toy that belonged to The Cake Twins and babies don't like that.

Me: Her heart was in the right place, just the wrong execution.

Twilight: *sadly* I guess she just can't stay out of trouble.

Me: As evidenced by what happened at the hospital when she lost her toy.

Twilight: She loves that thing so much that when she doesn't have it, she panics.

Me: Then you yelled at her.

Twilight: Ugh!  I hated myself for that!  I really didn't like seeing her so upset.

Me: As far as I see it, you had to lay down the law for her to behave.  Sometimes kids get like that.  I know that no adult wants to be "the bad guy" around the kids they love, but that's what you got to do sometimes.

Twilight: Yeah, I know that.  So, you haven't talked about the part of Shining Armor and Cadence.

Me: To me, it was the main downside of the episode.  Sure, I know they don't want to criticize the so called "art", which it isn't in my opinion, but they could have at least not given in to liking it.

Twilight: They seemed to be a little upset when they got back and they said that they missed Flurry Heart.

Me: Some of the "art pieces" seemed to remind them of Flurry Heart.  I guess it's a parent thing.

Twilight: I see.

Me: Well, I guess that's everything.  As I said, I enjoyed it.

Twilight: Well, glad we could entertain you and so many others.

Me: See ya all next week when Maud comes!

Twilight: *waves* Bye, everypony!

*chain link fence finally breaks and the audience members come running in*

Me: Quick!  Run!!

*everyone runs away, protecting Flurry Heart while trying to find somewhere safe*

(spoilers)
The episode starts with Maud earning her "Rocktorate", so now it's time for her to move on the the next stage of life. When she considers Ponyville as a possible place to move to, Pinkie naturally gets extremely excited. But somewhat predictably, Pinkie's increasingly desperate efforts only makes that possibility less likely.

But then Maud bumps into Starlight Glimmer and, in a rather interesting twist, it turns out that Maud had unknowingly helped Starlight in sealing away all those stolen cutie marks from her old village. Despite that rocky introduction, Maud and Starlight gradually start to get better acquainted (Starlight reveals she has a passion for kites) and it's not long before a friendship actually forms between them. (Maud even smiles more often in this episode alone than she did in all previous episodes combined.)

However, Pinkie's extreme enthusiasm for getting Maud to stay in Ponyville keeps getting in the way of that forming friendship, even though she wants to actually encourage said friendship. It eventually becomes too much for Maud and she moves to the other place she was considering, Ghastly Gorge (which I don't think we've seen since the Season 2 episode "May the Best Pet Win", complete with a reappearance of those giant killer eels that live in the caves).

Starlight may still struggle at times with friendship, but at least she manages to break it to Pinkie how the latter's efforts to forge that new friendship actually kept getting in the way of it. Pinkie catches up to Maud and apologizes for trying to do things her way and not Maud's way. Maud agrees to return to Ponyville and takes up residence in a part of the gem caves that she and Starlight had discovered together earlier in the episode.

I have to say, it sure is nice to see Starlight Glimmer getting more involvement this season than she did by this point in the previous season. I know it's highly unlikely she'll be in every single episode, but I have a feeling she'll be seen this season about as often as any one of the main six ponies.

By the way, it just occurred to me that Starlight's other best friend, Trixie, had once been forced to work at the Pie family rock farm. It makes me wonder how Starlight might react when she finds out that her two best friends might have actually met each other before.
(end spoilers)

Regarding the episodes releasing early in Canada, I'm going to do what I did with the early releases in Britain last year. I'll watch the early releases so I won't have to worry about spoilers, but I won't post my review on each of them until after the official US release.

~REVIEW POST~

Me: *sighs* Okay, this won't be easy for me.  I've at least invited Starlight to help me.  Everyone should be arriving soon.

*Maud and Pinkie Pie arrive* Pinkie Pie: We're here!

Maud: *deadpan tone* Hello.  It is good to see all of you.

Pinkie Pie: Well, I promised to bring you here, and now that my work is done, I'll be leaving.  Bye! *starts to leave*

Me: Wait!  Pinkie!

Pinkie Pie: *stops and turns towards me* Huh?

Me: I forgot to tell you, you're invited too!

Pinkie Pie: *smiles wildly* Really?

Me: You were just about as big a star of the episode as Maud was.

Maud: *deadpan tone* I was slightly bigger than she was.

Me: Still, I would like to have you here, Pinkie.

Pinkie Pie: *cheers* I get to be on a review!  Wa-hoo!

Me: Okay, calm down, Pinkie!  We still have to wait for one more individual.

Starlight: *walks in* Hello, everyone!  Good to see you again!

Me: Okay, let's do this!  Spoilers go!

*SPOILERS*

Me: So Maud, didn't know you could get a doctorate in Rock Education.

Maud: *deadpan tone* It is technically called a "rocktorate", but I am happy to have earned it.  It was a lot of hard work.

Me: I bet it was, and you were living with your parents the whole time you were going to Rock College?

Maud: *deadpan tone* Yes, they were close by and it helped with the expenses.  Even Rock College is not cheap.

Me: I know all too well.  Don't get me started on how expensive books alone for college are.

Maud: *deadpan tone* I won't.

*silence for a few seconds* Me: Okay, that's my cue to move on.  Pinkie, you were pretty excited to have Maud move to Ponyville.

Pinkie Pie: *giggles* I was so excited too!  I don't get to see my big sister much and I really miss her when she's away, but with her now in Ponyville, I get to see her whenever I want.

Me: Whenever you're not working at Sugarcube Corner you mean.

Pinkie Pie: *laughs nervously* Right!

Me: Or when she's not with Starlight, whom I'm surprised chose to become her friend.

Starlight: Well, Twilight did teach me to take every opportunity I can to make new friends.  It's actually interesting being with Maud.

Me: And Trixie won't be jealous that you are spending time with someone else?

Starlight: Don't worry about her.  She's in Manehatten right now trying to earn some money with her newly achieved transmogrifying spell.  I'm sure she won't mind.

Me: Hopefully she doesn't learn to turn everything into bits.

Starlight: Even if she did, that's illegal in Equestria.  You get years in jail for that.  Plus the punishment of having your horn removed.

Me: Ouch!  Harsh!  Which is what you were to Pinkie when trying to explain to her why Maud left.

Pinkie Pie: *angry* Yeah, that was mean!

Starlight: I'm sorry, okay?  How many more times do I have to apologize for that?

Me: I think you said the thing that needed to be said, Starlight.

Starlight: But I hurt Pinkie Pie a lot with what I said.

Me: I know, but if you didn't say it the way you did, she would have never learned that she was the problem when it came to her sister making friends.  Maud had her own way of making friends and it was a lesson Pinkie had to learn.

Starlight: *whispering to me* Do you think I will be friends with Pinkie after all this.

Me: *whispering back* She easily forgives.  Plus if you need more encouragement, Fluttershy once had to say something harsh to Rainbow Dash and they are still the best of friends to this day.

Starlight: *shocked* Fluttershy said something harsh to Rainbow once?

Pinkie Pie: Oh yeah!  It was back when Tank was going into hibernation for the first time since Rainbow got him.  She really had a hard time adjusting to it.

Starlight: You're going to have to tell me that story later, Pinkie.  I'm actually kind of interested.

Me: Anyways, back to the episode, Maud, weren't you afraid of those eel things eating you?

Maud: *deadpan tone* I'm not afraid of those creatures.  I could punch their lights out if I wanted.

Me: Still, you were actually eaten by one and Pinkie had to save you.

Pinkie Pie: *practically crying* You have no idea how scared I was for you, Maud!

Maud: *deadpan tone* Technically, he hadn't eaten me yet.  He hadn't swallowed me.  I was still in his mouth.

Me: Still, it would have been a very unfitting end for you if he did.  I may not like you, but I wouldn't want you to die like that.

Maud: *deadpan tone* You don't need to worry about me.  I can take care of myself.

Me: *unconvincingly* Right! *clears throat* Anyways, after Pinkie convinced you to move back to Ponyville, you now seem to have a new place to call home.  A place practically anyone would be jealous of.

Maud: *deadpan tone* It is beautiful and connected to a cave I'd be more than happy to dig at.  I couldn't have picked a better place.

Me: Well, hope you enjoy it.

Pinkie Pie: So, did you enjoy the episode?

Me: It was okay, but not really that good.  I didn't like it much, but there were some fun parts to watch.

Maud: *deadpan tone* I know it's mainly because you don't like me.  I can't be expected to please everyone.

Me: It's just your deadpan tone that annoys me too much.  However, Pinkie was also hurting the episode a lot.  Also, I didn't need that ear-grating squealing at the start.

Pinkie Pie: *laughs nervously* Sorry!

Me: Forgiven!

Pinkie Pie: *puts on traditional Canada hat* Well, I have to head to Canada.  The new episode will be starting soon. *walks away*

Me: *yelling to her* I'll be sure to watch it! *turns to audience* Well, hope you all had a good time and I'll see you for the Spoiler Link later today.

Me, Starlight and Maud: *waving* *Maud in deadpan tone* Goodbye!

Again horrible but maud was a joy to laugh at and make fun of since she's the most fun and enjoyable character to laugh it. The plot was horrible pinkie needs to realize she can't change her sister at all and realize that maud likes rocks and that's it. She needs to stop trying so hard but she won't. So I'll give it a 3/10 since make fun of maud was awesome

The link I just showed gives me a huge problem.  With 2 episodes airing each week, I worry how much of the episodes I'll remember when it comes time to review them.  I may have to watch the episode again just to recap what happened in them.

As such, it makes me wonder if I should continue with my reviews as scheduled.  Should I release what I think of it early or should I wait?  I'm not sure what I'm going to do here.  What do you all think?

I just saw it and it's decent it's about fluttershy helping the vet pony find other homes for all the animals that won't leave the vets house. So it's up to Fluttershy and the gang to give all the animals new homes so they can leave the vet's office for good. I thought it was a decent episode the plot was eh to okay. I did like how they helped the vet find new homes and the characters did a good job with it. I can say it's not the worst episode of the season witch is amazing since so far season seven is horrible so far. So I'll give it a 4/10

I've heard that these episodes don't even get finished until about 7 or 8 weeks before the American release, so if you do the math, that theoretically means that the Canadian schedule can't continue at least to the very end of the season. (Although with how far the Canadian pace just seems to keep going, I'm honestly starting to question that.)

Feel free to do what you want. As far as I've noticed, the videos posted on Dailymotion tend to stay there for a very long time, so you will always have a way to rewatch these episodes later by the time they (officially) show in the US.

That's exactly what I intend to do; watch them only once on the Canadian premier (just so I don't have to worry about avoiding spoilers), then wait until the American premier before I watch it a few more times as I usually do (so I have a good understanding of each episode for the reviews I write).

I'm going to continue with posting my reviews only on the day of the American release. It takes me quite a bit of time to write all that stuff, so just one per week is enough for me.

Hello, Everypony!  So, tomorrow is the start of Season 7 and it is rather interesting.  Normally, we have a 2-part episode at the start of the season, but not this time.  Only 1 episode to start off the season.  Hopefully, it'll be a good one.

Anyways, this means you all get greeted with my multiple posts through the season.  Here's how it's going to go.  On Friday evening, I shall post the summary of the new episode the next day.  On Saturday, I'll post the link to the live streaming of the episode and shall post the link for those who watch it on YouTube/Dailymotion.  Finally, on Sunday, I'll post my review.  This is how it'll go all through the year.

So I shall see all of you tonight when I give the summary.

See ya later! :wave
Season VII?! Already?!

Well, now I need to get the rest of season VI out of the way.

~SUMMARY POST~

Pinkie Pie: *to me* So, what have you decided?

Me: I've decided to, for the most part, continue like normal.

Pinkie Pie: For the most part?

Me: Equestria Daily is going to make it tricky since it wants to go by the Canadian Schedule.  As such, I'm not 100% sure I can put up the Live Streams to see the episode that airs in the US.

Pinkie Pie: So it all comes down to Equestria Daily.

Me: Yep!

Pinkie Pie: Well, hope everything works for you.

Me: Me too!  Anyways, here's the summary, everyone!

-----------------
Title: Fluttershy Leans In

Summary: When Fluttershy's Vet runs out of room in her clinic, Fluttershy decides to build an animal sanctuary for all the animals.  However, she soon learns that not everyone shares the same vision she does.

------------------

Pinkie Pie: Fluttershy next, huh?

Me: I hope she's not too scared of me.

Pinkie Pie: She's actually worked really hard on her shyness problem.  If I tell her that you're a good friend of mine, she shouldn't have a problem.

Me: Just in case, I'll make sure not to tell her that this is going out to millions of people.  It could cause her stage freight, and I don't want that.

Pinkie Pie: Then I'll keep it secret too.

Me: Well, here's hoping you all enjoy the new episode tomorrow.

Pinkie Pie: Goodnight, everypony!

Me: Goodnight! :wave

~LIVE STREAM POST~

Me: Looks like EqD is doing Live Streams for both the US episode and the one that airs in Canada today.

Pinkie Pie: Oh no!  They both air at the same time!  How can I be in two places at once?

Me: You know you have "toon powers" to break the laws of physics and make two of yourself for this kind of thing, right?

Pinkie Pie: Oh, right! *takes a deep breath* *puts her hoof in her mouth* *blows on it* *suddenly splits into two*

Pinkie Pies: HI!

Me: I'm not surprised anymore.  Anyways, one of you can now head to Canada for that episode.

Left Pinkie Pie: *to Right Pinkie Pie* That's you!

Right Pinkie Pie: Okey-Dokey! *puts on traditional Canadian hat* Bye! *Walks away*

Me: It was such a memorable episode for me that I won't need to watch it again, but for those that want to watch it, here's the link for the streams.

Season 7 Episode 5 - Fluttershy Leans In Live Stream (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/05/usa-mlp-season-7-episode-5-fluttershy.html)

Me: Hope you all enjoy the episode.  I'll be watching the Live Stream for the episode in Canada, which will start up to 15 minutes early.

Pinkie Pie: The one where Sweetie Belle shows she's grown up.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on May 06, 2017, 08:15:09 PM
Thanks to Equestria Daily splitting the episode posts, I'll be able to have a link to watch the American release for my reviews, while also being able to watch the Canadian release so I won't have to worry about spoilers. (Of course, I never catch these episodes live, and actually prefer to wait a little for the videos to be available to watch at any time I'm ready.) Anyway, as I've said, I'll be reviewing these episodes only on the day of the American release, as writing just one per week is enough for me.

(spoilers)
After Angel's attempt at parkour lands him with a broken foot, Fluttershy takes him to the vet, where it's highly overcrowded with animals that have nowhere to go after being treated. Fluttershy decides the solution is her dream project of building an animal sanctuary. And after more than six seasons of gradually becoming more assertive, she feels that she's finally ready to turn this project into a reality.

Fluttershy knows she can't do it alone, so she shares the idea with her friends and asks for their help. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity each suggest some experts they know (an animal wrangler, a construction worker, and an interior designer, respectively) and Fluttershy agrees to let them help.

Right from the start, the three experts share uncertainty with Fluttershy's project. When Fluttershy is around, they each share their uncertainties, and when Fluttershy tries to clarify what she wants, they simply offer to try what they can. But as soon as she turns her back, the experts decide to do things their way, in spite of the clarifications she had just told them.

When Fluttershy arrives to check on progress, she quickly disapproves of their work. Their attempts to justify their work by stretching the meaning behind her earlier words of advice does little to convince her otherwise, and she fires the three experts right then and there (six seasons of character growth finally paying off). Even worse, the animals are impatient for their new sanctuary and rush towards the unfinished and unsuitable structure, which inevitably causes the structure to be destroyed and many of them to get hurt.

Even after that disaster, Fluttershy refuses to give up (once again proving her character growth). This time, she decides to call in an expert builder who also shares her passion for helping animals: Big Daddy McColt (sure wasn't expecting to see him again, but it sure was nice to have him around again). With all of Fluttershy's friends following McColt's instructions, a proper sanctuary is finally completed. (Fluttershy even gives it a name, but I'm afraid I can't remember what it was.)
(end spoilers)

If I haven't mentioned it before, I've already decided that, from this season onward, I will not be watching any new episodes on YouTube, as it's proven to be too unreliable when it comes to the duration of availability. I'm sticking entirely to Dailymotion, for both the Canadian releases and the American releases.

If anyone is wondering if there's any difference between the American and Canadian versions of these episodes, the only one I can identify is a video quality, specifically that the colors appear to be slightly more muted in the Canadian version than in the American version. If you're one of those kinds of people who's obsessed with watching something in the absolute best quality possible, then the American version is the one you'll want to see.

~REVIEW POST~

Pinkie Pie: *pushing a terrified Fluttershy onto the stage* Sorry!  It got slipped out that she would be talking in front of millions.

Me: *sighs* Don't worry, I planned for this. *walks up to Fluttershy and bends down to her level* Fluttershy, I can't do this without you and I know you have stage freight, so how about for the next little bit, you pretend you're talking to a bunch of cute, furry animals.  Can you do that?

Fluttershy: *smiles and nods*

Me: *stands up* Okay then!  What are you pretending I am?

Fluttershy: A gorilla.

Me: Well, didn't see that coming.

Pinkie Pie: Okay, I'll be right outside waiting. *walks away*

Me: You ready?

Fluttershy: Um, what do I do exactly?

Me: I talk about certain parts of the most recent episode you were the star in and you go further in-depth about each one I comment on.

Fluttershy: Oh, um, okay.

Me: Alright, let's do this.

*SPOILERS*

Me: So, the first thing I didn't expect, Angel Bunny doing parkour.  How in the world did he convince you to put him in the contest for it?

Fluttershy: Uh, he's very persuasive.

Me: *unconvincingly* Uh-huh! *clears throat* And then he gets his foot injured.

Fluttershy: Oh!  I was so worried for the poor thing.  I'm just glad it was nothing more than that.  Then I had to pay a visit to Dr. Fauna because I was out of bunny foot braces.

Me: Whom was so overrun with animals that she had a bit of a tough time opening the door.

Fluttershy: *sighs* It was like a zoo in there and I felt bad that it was partially my fault for telling all the animals how good of a doctor she was.

Me: You didn't have any idea such a thing would happen.

Fluttershy: I only thought they would go to her when they were sick.  Not to make themselves at home like that after taking such good care of them.

Me: And you decided to do something about it.

Fluttershy: *nods* A dream of mine that I wanted to do for a long time.  An animal sanctuary for all of the animals to lay their heads until they are ready to take on the world.

Me: So you called on your friends to help you.  Whom were more than happy to get what they felt were experts in the field.

Fluttershy: I really wanted to work with their chosen experts, but in the end, they just wouldn't listen.

Me: From what I saw, their egos got the best of them.  They chose not to listen to their client.  So, when you went to see them, you saw through their lies and fired them.

Fluttershy: Yes, they weren't listening to me at all and I knew they weren't the ponies for the job.  However, then the animals got impatient for their new sanctuary and got themselves injured.

Me: Definitely not going the way you wanted.  So, after helping Dr. Fauna, you decide to get help from someone you knew.  Someone I did not expect to see, but was more than happy to.  Big Daddy McColt.

Fluttershy: I realized that I needed an expert that could put the animals first and was good at building.  He was the perfect pony for the job and one I knew I could trust.

Me: All of your friends, Big Mac and the Cutie Mark Crusaders helped out.  Um, what did you call the sanctuary again?

Fluttershy: It's called Sweet Feather Sanctuary.  It was everything I dreamed it could be.

Me: I'm quite happy for your accomplishment.

Fluttershy: So, um, did you like the episode?

Me: It was good.  I find it very memorable to an extent.  Even a few surprises here and there that I was more than happy to welcome.

Fluttershy: Thank you for your compliment.

Me: I'll see ya all later today for the early release of another episode.

Fluttershy: Goodbye, everypony!

Me: Goodbye! :wave

(spoilers)
At first, Rarity is calmly running her Canterlot boutique, but suddenly finding a photo of herself and her sister Sweetie Belle suddenly brings her to tears at the realization that, due to how busy she has been, she hasn't spent much quality time with her. Sassy Saddles offers to keep the boutique running on her own so Rarity can spend a day with her sister, and Rarity instantly accepts.

Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are once again helping other ponies find or better understand their cutie marks. Their next client is Zipporwhirl (previously seen in the season 4 episode Fili-Vanili), who questions her cutie mark when the puppy she had adopted on the day she got it is no longer playing with her. Then when Rarity suddenly barges in and excitedly says that she wants to spend the day with Sweetie Belle, Applebloom and Scootaloo offer to handle the CMC business on their own so Sweetie can spend the day with her sister.

I found it pretty interesting that the two series of events ended up running parallel in having the same kind of problem. Rarity wants to do all the things Sweetie Belle used to enjoy, unaware that Sweetie no longer likes them so much, while Zipporwhirl keeps trying to play with her puppy they same way she always had, unaware that the puppy is actually now a full-grown dog.

The resolution finally comes when, after snapping at Rarity, Sweetie Belle sees what's been going on with Zipporwhirl and her dog and realizes the parallel between their two dilemmas. She explains to Zipporwhirl that the dog is no longer a puppy and simply needs to find new activities they can enjoy (such as playing fetch with a stick). Rarity overhears this (she had wanted to scold Sweetie, but her sense of manners made her choose to wait until "...after her conversation. Anger is no excuse for rudeness."), and admits that now that Sweetie Belle has indeed gotten older, they should also find some new activities to do together as sisters.

For me, this was a rather okay episode, but not something I'd include among my favorites.
(end spoilers)

For the episode airing in the US next week, even though I've already seen the Canadian release last Sunday, I'll just say that of all the episodes we know so far for season 7, that is the one I had been looking forward to most of all. I can't wait to see it in perfect quality next week.

Watching it now it's eh since I'm not a fan of rarity at all. The plot about spending time with your siblings is over done but it's okay not great. I'll add on I kinda like the moral witch was teaching.  I'll give it credit for that. So it was a decent episode this week.7/10.

It has also come to my attention that the three Equestria Girls specials are getting early releases in Poland. The first was on today, the second will be next Sunday, and the third and final one will be the Sunday after that.

However, these are dubbed in Polish, and even though people are uploading versions with English subtitles, I've decided that I'd rather wait for the actual English versions to come out before I watch them. This is because, last year, one episode of Season 6 also came out early in Poland, and after I later saw the English version, I did a quick comparison and it turns out that the English subtitles in the earlier Polish version are not identical to the dialogue in the English version. While I don't mind watching in a slightly lower quality, I do want perfection on the content (every bit of dialogue is included and nothing of the official version is cut out), and due to the inevitable translation issues, I'm just not going to bother with these particular early releases, despite how much I'd really like to see them.

So when will the official English version of these three Equestria Girls specials come out? We still don't know for sure. We do know that the DVD release for these specials will be on August 8, and since they're supposed to be first available on Netflix, we can assume it'll be on some day before then, so sometime within the next two and a half months. (And with everything I've got going on these days, that won't be such a long wait for me.)

Me: Yeah, I did.  Anyways, summary below.

Summary: When Rainbow Dash's parents discover she's a Wonderbolt, they show up at every event to cheer her on. However, their unabashed enthusiasm proves to be rather embarrassing and pushes Rainbow Dash to the brink.

Me: I've already seen the episode and I will say that I hate them with a fiery passion that cannot be quenched.  Pinkie, I'm going to have to break the rules this time.  Please, do not bring Rainbow's parents.  I just can't stand them.  I would rather that you bring Rainbow herself for this one.

Pinkie Pie: But isn't that being ---

Me: Yes, I know it's being selfish, but I just can't stand them.  So please, just do me this favor, okay?

I already saw weeks ago it was pointless to reupload it when it was leaked and to be fair it was a alright episode. The way RainbowDash's parents supported her no matter what got kinda annoying fast. So I get why RainbowDash got upset at them. And of course scootaloo being a fan of her only added to the annoyance factor. So overall it was nice to see RainbowDashs parents even tho they where to over excited About everything she did.

Since the episodes released today in the US and Canada are both episodes I had been looking forward to, I consider today a rather big day for pony. :)

(spoilers)
After many years of fan speculation, we finally get to see Rainbow Dash's parents. (And since there appears to be no sign of anyone else ever living with them, I guess that confirms my head-canon that Rainbow Dash was an only child with no siblings.)

Scootaloo is doing a school report on the pony that inspires them the most, and she naturally chooses Rainbow Dash. With her research in Ponyville done, she has to go to Cloudsdale to learn more about Rainbow's early life, and just happens to encounter Rainbow's parents.

Rainbow's parents turn out to be just as enthusiastic for their daughter as Scootaloo is, so they quickly bond while sharing information about her. Scootaloo learns about all kinds of little details while touring the house, including a trophy room for even the most mundane of accomplishments. And the parents learn that Rainbow Dash has become a Wonderbolt, much to their pleasant surprise.

Scootaloo brings Rainbow's parents to see her in action, and with how constantly enthusiastically they cheer her on at every event, even the more minor ones, it becomes increasingly obvious how reluctant Rainbow Dash had been to tell them about her recent accomplishments. (Thankfully, the other Wonderbolts are understanding and don't say or do anything that would worsen the embarrassment.) Eventually, things reach a breaking point and Rainbow snaps at her parents, not only hurting their feelings, but also Scootaloo's as well.

Thankfully, Rainbow catches up to Scootaloo and shares with her the full reason why she feels so embarrassed by her parents, to which Scootaloo reveals she never had that kind of support in her life, making Rainbow realize she had taken her parents' support for granted. She makes it up to them by given them a private Wonderbolts show. After all of that, Rainbow and her parents even decide to give Scootaloo the same level of overenthusiastic support as Rainbow herself once had.
(end spoilers)

By the way, even though I do watch the early release episodes from Canada, I also watch the US releases because not only are they in a slightly better quality, but also you can never be sure if certain content has been altered or removed (that doesn't seem to be the case so far, but I'll still keep an eye out). Not to mention, I refuse to watch the Poland early releases of Equestria Girls because I'd rather watch them in English (still don't know when that'll be, but definitely no later than early August for the DVD release).

~REVIEW POST~

Me: *in a suit of armor* Well, hopefully this will protect me. *Gets hit by fast moving, rainbow colored projectile* *helmet comes off*

Rainbow Dash: *up close to me with Scootaloo on her back* :angry: What's the big idea not allowing my parents in?

Scootaloo: Yeah!  They're right outside and the guards aren't letting them in!

Me: Get off me and I'll explain myself with the review.

Rainbow Dash: It better be good. *gets off* *Scootaloo jumps off Rainbow*

Me: *gets up* Alright, let's begin this.

*SPOILERS*

Me: I'm going to be 100% honest with you, Rainbow.  I hate your parents with a passion.

Rainbow Dash: *confused* What?

Scootaloo: But, you allowed Maud and Trixie, who you also hate.

Me: This is a special level of hatred.  Scootaloo, you worship the ground Rainbow Dash walks on.  Rainbow, your parents are worse than Scootaloo in being a fan of you.

Rainbow Dash: What do you mean?

Me: They support you for everything.  From the moment you were born, they were supportive of everything you did.  I had to watch this in chunks because I couldn't stand them.  It was annoying having them around.

Rainbow Dash: So, you find them annoying because of how much they support me?

Scootaloo: But, I support Rainbow Dash in what she does and you allowed me in.

Me: The defining factor for me was when you called them out on all their worshiping of you, Rainbow.  They supported you for being so harsh.  You, Scootaloo, you had the guts to call her out for it.  That's the fan I respect.  One who's willing to criticize what they love as well as support it at the appropriate times.

Scootaloo: You respect me?

Me: I do!  It took a lot for you to do that and I'm glad you did.  Then you had to explain yourself, Rainbow.  You weren't always the best, were you?

Rainbow Dash: I wasn't, but I got better at the competitions because I thought that would stop all their worshiping.  It only got worse.

Me: Then Scootaloo had you see it from a different point of view.  She never got that kind of support when she was younger.  You actually took their support for granted, Rainbow.

Rainbow Dash: I did!  I felt so bad for what I had done that I wanted to make it up to them.

Me: And you did that with a private airshow that embarrassed them.

Rainbow Dash: *chuckles* Wanted to give them a bit of karma for all they put me through.  Still love them, though.

Me: Also, good job on your report, Scootaloo!  You earned that "B".

Scootaloo: I was really hoping to get an "A".  Maybe if I didn't leave in that sandwich.

Me: And then Rainbow and her parents showed up to give you that support you wanted so much.

Scootaloo: *embarrassed* It was a bit much.  I had to talk to Rainbow Dash afterward about having her and her parents tone it down.

Rainbow Dash: I can try, but I don't think it'll be easy to have them change their ways.

Me: So, do you understand now, Rainbow?  Why I couldn't invite them?

Rainbow Dash: I guess so.  Still don't like it!

Me: Never my intention for you to like it, Rainbow.  Just for you to understand.

Rainbow Dash: Well, I'll make sure to explain everything to my parents.

Me: I'm sure they won't take it too hard.

Rainbow Dash: My mom should take it okay.  My dad might need a bit of comforting. *chuckles* He's quite the softy that my mom fell for.

Me: *to audience* Well, I think that's everything.  See ya all next week when I bring Big Mac.

Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo and Me: Bye everyone!

Post by: The Chronicler on May 26, 2017, 09:00:18 PM
I had once mentioned some time ago that since these episodes are completed only 7 or 8 weeks ahead of the US schedule, it was possible that the rapid release Canadian schedule would eventually become impossible. Looks like that reality has finally hit, so no new episodes from there for a while.

I was going to make a calculation about at what point the Canadian releases would catch up to the US releases, but then came recent news just today that the US releases will also be going into a hiatus after episode 11.

Also just announced today, we finally know when we'll get to see (the English version of) the three Equestria Girls specials. They'll show at the same time slot as the My Little Pony episodes after episode 11 premiers, so that means the first special will be on June 24, the second on July 1, and the third on July 8.

With all the things I've got going on, I'm glad to be getting a little bit of a breather from the insanely rapid release schedule. Plus, I'm very happy that we finally have a definitive set of dates for the Equestria Girls specials, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing them a month from now.

Yeah I read that also I read they're also gonna start the season over that's what I read on equestria daily not sure if that's true or a rumor. But hopefully the Equestria Girls specials aren't terrible and they're actually decent. Who knows if these are popular enough we could get a full Equestria Girls season but I highly doubt that's gonna happen.

So we're in a hiatus now I think or Is that next week
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on May 27, 2017, 07:30:44 PM
No, the US schedule is still proceeding as normal, at least until it's caught up to where the Canadian releases have stopped, then will come the hiatus for at least while the Equestria Girls specials are shown (so, technically, not quite a hiatus I guess). Anyway, on to this week's episode...

(spoilers)
At first, it might seem to many that this episode would be a repeat of a certain season 2 episode, but there are certainly some notable differences. Rather than the CMC's forcing love between two ponies, they're helping Big Mac get together with someone he actually has a crush on for the first time. (They even reference the events of that earlier episode by saying that the use of a love potion definitely does not count as a crush.)

Of course, as soon as Sweetie Belles suggested using fairy tale methods, I knew right away that none of them were going to work. In addition, Feather Bangs just so conveniently kept upping his game in every single scenario that I honestly wonder if he was stalking them to find out what method to use next.

Predictably, all that crazy attention (complete with a highly improvised competitive song) becomes too much for Sugar Belle and she tells everyone to leave. Finally, Apple Bloom realizes the key to Big Mac winning Sugar Belle's heart is to simply do something that means a lot to her in particular, and he does it by the simple act of building a new display shelf for her baked goods.

For me, this episode was okay, but due to the number of cringe moments (which I'm never fond of), I would definitely not count this among my favorites. At least it's always nice to hear Big Mac speaking more than just his usual "eyup" or "nope". As for why the show had Big Mac crush on Sugar Belle in particular, I think it's because they wanted to avoid any anger between groups of fans by not siding with any of the popular "ships" and go for a pony most probably would have never even considered.

You know, with Hard to Say Anything, I don't know how to express myself.  I've been trying all day to figure out what to say and I can't come up with anything.  I really can't convey how I feel about the episode.  It's an episode where I can't tell if I like it or not.  I have reasons to like it and to dislike it.  I can't decide if it's good, bad, okay, decent or anything like that.

So yeah, no review because I don't know how to express myself here.  Sorry everyone! :(

At least with the next episode, I do know how I feel and what I want to say.  I'm more than ready for next week.

Agreed.  The whole episode was awful and made me cringe constantly.  The mane flipping guy was annoying as heck (I didn't think it was possible to make a character more annoying than Fluttershy's brother (Zepher Breeze)).  And that ending...maybe I just have a sick mind, but I can't help but think about the foalcon implications.  Foalcon makes me sick.  Why would an adult ask a couple of foals about relationship advice unless he's a pedophile (foalophile)?  I'm going to add this one to the list of episodes I'm NEVER going to watch again.  I think this is the worst episode of the entire series.

(spoilers)
I think it's fair to say that a lot of people may not like this episode, considering Applejack's brutal honesty around the middle of the episode.

Rarity holds a fashion show to help promote newcomers to the business, and while two of her choices for judges are rather expected (Hoity Toity and Photo Finish), her third choice of Applejack as a judge is definitely out there. (Her reason? She wants a judge with a sense of practicality.) Even Applejack herself questions the choice at first, but after an incident Apple Bloom has with a hat, she decides to go for it.

As I'm sure we all had expected, Applejack is way out of her league, but what was really shocking is that thanks to her high value on honesty, she eventually gets so carried away with doing what she does best that she fails to recognize just how hurtful she's actually being (even going as far as destroying some of the work she disagrees with). This eventually drives the judges to quit and the contestants to drop out, leaving Rarity with nothing.

Rarity decides to give Applejack a taste of her own medicine by introducing her to Strawberry Sunrise, who has a particularly negative opinion on apples. Applejack rants that she works so hard on harvesting apples and that makes her immediately realize just how hurtful her actions may have really been. She quickly makes up for it by bringing back the judges and contestants, apologizing to all of them, and stating that while she still doesn't understand fashion, she can at least appreciate the hard work they all put into it. After that, the fashion show is back on.

As far as I'm concerned, this was a rather forgettable episode. However, there was one funny moment where Rarity vents her frustrations by going all-out heavy metal rock on Pinkie's acoustic guitar. Now that was something that sure came out of nowhere.

~REVIEW POST~

Oh boy!  This was a bad one.  Spoilers below.

Now don't get me wrong.  I get Rarity's decision in choosing Applejack as a judge.  She wanted an outside the box opinion.  Think of it this way.  You don't need to be a chef to understand that the food you are being served is crap.  However, considering all things, she should have picked someone else who had an outside the box opinion.

What really upset me about Applejack is not just the fact she was harsh, but seeing things from her tastes in "fashion".  She completely missed the mark of what's important.  It's okay to give criticism, but you should give criticism that's helpful.  Something that will make them improve overall.  What Applejack was doing, not really all that helpful.

The breaking point was when she just destroyed someone's work.  That pony worked hard on that hat and what she did was totally disrespectful.  Regardless of the end result, hard work needs to be respected, but that shouldn't stop you from giving an honest opinion on the end result and pointing out where they could improve.

At least she learned her lesson thanks to a pony we're likely only going to see once in the show.

Now, let's go away from Applejack for a second so I can talk about a few things I liked.  First, Applebloom's new look.  I know it's just a change from a bow to a hat, (Pretty much the same one Applejack has.) but I think it helps show that she's growing up and wants to change her style.  If she keeps the new look, I seriously wouldn't mind.  Sure, it would take some getting used to, but as I said, I wouldn't mind it.

Pinkie Pie was enjoyable for the few scenes she had.  Sure, it wasn't much, but she brought some enjoyment to an otherwise bad episode.

Finally, the scene where Rarity just shredded to let off some stress.  Totally awesome!

Now, one last thing I hated.  It was the fact that they let all three contestants win.  I understand that the writers didn't want to invoke the wrath of the fandom by choosing, but they could have worded it where it seemed like they chose, but they don't tell us which one was chosen.  Also, in future episodes, when Rarity's Boutique shows up, just switch between the three for a each few frames to keep us guessing.

Also, yes, hated that green dress at the end, but the point was for it to be awful.  So, good job there, artists.

Bad, and I'm definitely not seeing this one again.

That's all from me.

See ya later! :wave

Of all the episodes in the first half of this season, the two I had been most looking forward to were the one where we met Rainbow Dash's parents and this one, which focuses on Celestia and Luna, with Starlight Glimmer too.

(spoilers)
The episode starts right away with two big firsts for the Cutie Map: Starlight Glimmer becomes the first non-Main 6 pony called by the map, and also the first one to be called on a completely solo mission.

Starlight goes to Canterlot and quickly realizes the friendship problem is between none other than Celestia and Luna. Knowing that she has to carefully consider her actions with the royal sisters themselves, she starts by simply observing a typical day in their lives, and realizes the problem is that they are both unintentionally hurting each other's feelings because they don't really understand how much hard work the other has to go through. Starlight's first decision is to simply mention the problem to both of them and let them talk it out. However, they quickly descend into arguing, and in a desperate attempt to get them to stop fighting, Starlight ends up casting a spell that swaps their cutie marks. The spell lasts only 24 hours, but cannot be reversed, not even by Starlight, so now Celestia and Luna are forced to spend the day doing each other's jobs.

Luna tries to go through the day in Celestia's place, and after a lot of forced smiling, an ill-timed photo with some foals, a poor choice of words with some visitors, and a three-hour debate between two city mayors, she is understandably exhausted at the end of the day. When it's Celestia's turn to go through a night in Luna's place, she not only has to deal with the complete loneliness, but also has to help Starlight through a nightmare in which Luna and Celestia's bickering has turned them into their evil forms, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker respectively. Celestia pulls Luna out of her own nightmare, and although only Luna's magic (now possessed by Celestia) will work in the dream realm, they both talk it out and reconcile with a better appreciation for what they both do, allowing Celestia to have the strength beat back the evil royal sisters in Starlight's nightmare. As the sun rises the next day, the 24-hour limit arrives and their cutie marks automatically switch back to where they belong, and Starlight receives the signal that her friendship mission has been successfully completed.

Like I said, this was one of the two episodes of the first half of Season 7 I had been really looking forward to, and it did not disappoint. Not only did we finally get that Celestia episode we had always wanted, but we also got a surprise glimpse at (supposedly and potentially) Celestia's evil form, Daybreaker. In fact, out of all the spoilers resulting from the early Canadian releases, Daybreaker was by far the most difficult one to avoid because she was just that immensely popular. Now that this episode has finally aired in the US, I expect the floodgates of fanwork to really open.
(end spoilers)

One more episode left to go, then it'll be on to the three Equestria Girls specials.

Before I begin my review, it seems that the English Versions of the Equestria Girls Specials were released, thanks to a Polish cable provider that has that option.  Enjoy the videos.

~REVIEW POST~

I, too, was looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint.  Spoilers below!

Since it happened, people have been trying to figure out a few things about The Cutie Map.  For the first time ever, the map called Starlight Glimmer.  It makes many wonder, can the map call ponies outside of the Mane Six?  Or is Starlight Glimmer now truly a part of the team, thus making it Mane Seven?  Plus, will this mean solo missions for the others in the future?  Too many questions, we waste little time and get to the plot.

From the outset, even the viewer can tell that there is a problem, and it has to do with The Royal Sisters themselves.  There is obvious tension going on between them and even Starlight Glimmer notices.  Oh, and good going with the eavesdropping spell there, Twilight.  You were entertaining, but it was obvious that you weren't helping.  All the more reason for what happens to her later.

Back to the plot, Starlight decides to observe their day to day life.  She soon realizes that the two are unintentionally hurting one another.  At first, she tries to have them talk it out, but that quickly goes nowhere as they start arguing.  As such, this forces Starlight to take desperate measures and she switches the cutie marks of the two.  This forces them to live one another's life for one day.  They choose to take up this challenge.  Oh, and Twilight's eavesdropping ballerina gets shoved into a drawer until the end of the episode.

Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you'll understand what they're going through.  It took that saying quite literally and shined for it.  Luna had to deal with smiling all day, an ill-timed photo shoot, (Which resulted in the foals not getting their field trip.) a poor choice of words that resulted in complete panic with some visitors and a three hour debate between two mayors. (Which would seem a lot shorter to the viewer if you didn't pay attention.) She was understandably exhausted by the end.

As for Celestia, she had to deal with a nightmare that Starlight Glimmer was having.  It was Starlight Glimmer in the middle of a battle between the Nightmare Forms of the Royal Sisters, Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker.  Note that Daybreaker is not considered canon because this was a dream made by Starlight Glimmer.  Anyways, after saving Luna from her own nightmare, which involved the foals from earlier being very creepy and Luna loosing all her teeth, Celestia gets the encouragement from her sibling to face her Nightmare Self.

The two Royal Sisters make up and, with the sun rising, their cutie marks switch back.  This, in-turn, triggers the signal that Starlight Glimmer's mission is complete.  Oh, and suddenly Twilight appears to get all the juicy details from an annoyed Starlight Glimmer, whom is promptly dragged away.  We end the episode with Luna pointing out to Celestia the things that need to be fixed and her flying away from the balcony.

A great episode and I would definitely see this one again.

Well, I need to get ready for e3.

See ya later! :wave

You know, I actually don't mind the Equestria Girls specials, though they do tend to be the generic highschool plotlines, which I really don't like as it creates the misconception that highschool drama is actually important in the minds of impressionable viewers :lol
Kidding! They're fun and goofy. But also very confusing- why does everyone in the human world have weird colored skin and pony names? Do they still have cutie marks? (My theory is that they do- on their butts, obviously.) Why can only the main characters transform into weird pony anthros when all of the characters technically have pony counterparts in Equestria? So, it is a very weird show that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it's still fun to watch and I like the fact that it's connected to the main show through some alternate dimension weirdness :smile

I've got some time to spare today, so I'll take this opportunity to explain some of these things.

Have you seen any of the four Equestria Girls movies that came out over the last few years? (There was one per year from 2013 to 2016 (with most fans agreeing that the very first one was the worst of the series).) If not, then perhaps seeing them might answer some questions you might have gotten from seeing just the three specials of this year. Long story short, the Equestria Girls world is essentially a parallel dimension to Equestria, which means there are a lot of similarities between the two worlds, with the obvious main difference being that they're magical ponies in Equestria and regular humans with modern technology in the other world. However, due to events in the movies, Equestrian magic is starting to leak into the human world, which is why only the main characters have gained magical abilities (so far).

As for why these people look like the way that do, I'm not sure about cutie marks on their bodies, but many of them do typically wear some clothing that has their special symbol displayed. Their skin colors not only make it easier to identify who their counterparts in Equestria are, but also as I once read from someone on another forum that it "neatly avoids the race issue that can so often be controversial".

Personally, the reason why I'm such a huge fan of Equestria Girls is that while I like the main pony series just fine, I'm especially fascinated to see (similar counterparts to) the characters we all know and love going through life in a modern human society that we're all familiar with. Plus, the fact that it's built around the concept of parallel universes also tends to grab my attention quite a bit.

Can't agree more I was skeptical at first but the Equestria Girls has slowly grown on me. I liked the songs a lot they're very catchy and good. I like the learning about them in the real world it's a nice touch in my opinion.

Plus, the fact that it's built around the concept of parallel universes also tends to grab my attention quite a bit.
Yes, I've actually seen all of the movies, and my questions still stand (though they were more asked as a jest). I understand that the main characters have to be special, and that their transformations have a lot to do with the first movie, but it still seems very weird to me that the magic turned them into pony anthros... specifically first movie Twilight and post first movie Sunset, since they are technically equestria natives. This also raises the question, where is Sunset's counterpart (unless they explained this and I don't remember)? I feel like that could cause problems in the future.

The skin thing is still weird to me (though I have heard the race argument, and it also helps keep the characters more recognizable), and I still stand by my cutie-mark theory :lol
All of those questions were in good nature, though- I don't expect them to be answered, and they aren't things that bother me about the series. And, like I said, I love the alternate dimension aspect :smile

~SUMMARY POST~

Well, here we are with another new episode in the US.  Before I post the next summary, it seems all but confirmed that next week, while we have the EQG special episodes, Australia will be airing the newest episodes of the show.

I fear this will sadly divide the fandom again between those who saw them early and those who wanted to wait.  Considering one of the episodes, this won't be pretty.

Anyways, on to the summary.

-------------
Title: Not Asking for Trouble

Summary: Pinkie Pie visits Prince Rutherford and the Yaks. While there an avalanche falls on the entire rustic village of Yakyakistan. Pinkie Pie suggests that she go to get the other ponies to help but the proud Prince and Yaks refuse.
-------------

I really don't know what to say about the episode.  Hopefully, I can get my thoughts out on Sunday.

Anyways, until tomorrow, see ya later! :wave

Now, without further ado, here's the link to the live streams of the episode.

~ONLINE POST~

Before I begin, I need to correct myself on something.  Episode 12 and 13 will be airing in Australia on the 20th and 21st there respectively.  Looking at the times, this means that, if there's a live stream people in the US will see it at 10:40 PM Pacific on the 19th and 20th respectively.

Considering how late it comes for me, I may opt to just watch them the next day in the morning while eating breakfast.

Anyways, here's the online post.  Took me a little bit to track it down.

Post by: The Chronicler on June 17, 2017, 08:20:39 PM
(spoilers)
The episode starts with Pinkie Pie being invited to Yakyakistan (though that's probably due to Pinkie essentially spam-mailing letters asking for the invitation until Prince Rutherford eventually gave in), to attend some festival that I have no hope of spelling properly (my best effort would be "yikslerbertfest").

Pinkie travels there (with pet gator Gummy) via balloon and arrives in time to see and partake in the main feature of the festival: smashing logs into splinters. Later, Rutherford gives Pinkie a tour of Yakyakistan by showing places like the firepit for telling stories, the food hut for eating vanilla cakes (made only from local ingredients), the sleeping hut for sleeping on straw beds, and the music hut for listening to music. After that, it's back to smashing logs, but all of their collective stomping soon triggers a massive avalanche that completely buries the entire village.

It's clear from the tone of Rutherford's voice that the avalanche was completely unexpected, but his immense pride refuses to let him acknowledge it, so he declares the avalanche a minor setback and tells the yaks to dig away all the snow. It ultimately proves to be too much to dig through, so (thanks to Pinkie's suggestion) the yaks settle on snow substitutes for everything. It soon becomes clear to Pinkie that she needs to bring her friends to help clear away the snow, but every single attempt she makes to get Rutherford to accept help gets completely rejected, and it eventually reaches a point where she is told to leave.

So Pinkie returns home, tells her friends what happened, and they all agree to go there and covertly help the yaks. They arrive at night and while the yaks sleep, they clear away the snow and restore the village back to its original condition. The yaks later awaken to see their home mysteriously back to normal and prepare to celebrate, but Rutherford catches Pinkie leaving and goes after her. Surprisingly, he's not angry and is actually pleased that Pinkie helped out anyway despite his refusal.

I think it's fair to say that this was among the better episodes for Pinkie Pie, where she recognizes what's wrong and knows exactly what to do to set things right (unlike the obnoxious and completely clueless pest she's shown as in other episodes, such as "Rock Solid Friendship" earlier this season). I'm not so sure about Rutherford saying it was completely okay to receive help without asking for it, but I'm guessing he said that only because his pride still wouldn't allow him to admit he had been wrong about anything.
(end spoilers)

Well, the US broadcasting of these episodes has now finally caught up (though it sure would stink for that to last only a few days before being messed up again, this time by Australia). Now it's on to the Equestria Girls specials for the next few weeks. As with the pony episodes, I'll wait until they've officially aired in the US before I give my reviews on each of them.

Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: pokeplayer984 on June 18, 2017, 10:21:42 AM
~REVIEW POST~

I can see the good in this episode.  However, I cannot ignore the bad at all in this case.  Spoilers below.

Pinkie Pie isn't a problem in this episode.  Far from it, actually.  She's enjoyable every minute she's on screen and hardly flawed, if at all.  It's someone else I have a serious problem with and I'm sure you can guess who it is.  I have problems with Prince Rutherford.

It was probably the best thing he could do to invite Pinkie to Yikslurberfest. (That's the spelling from EqD.  So if I'm wrong, they're wrong.) (Note that Twilight was struggling a bit to figure out how to pronounce it.) Otherwise, he'd probably just keep getting mail-spam from Pinkie.  At least this confirms that they are official pen pals only a few minutes in the episode, which helps explain a few inconsistences that pop up when you start thinking about the Yak culture and all that.

Anyways, after being made an ambassador, (Skipping all of the paperwork that would go into it.) Pinkie heads off to Yakyakistan via hot air balloon. (I'm sure she was playing 20 thousand questions, not 20 million questions.  Makes it more realistic.) There, we get into the Yak culture.  Breaking logs with your head, listening to jive music via radio, (Just think about that for a minute and you'll see how that's NOT part of tradition, but something introduced recently.) sleeping on hay for a bed, etc.  All goes well until an avalanche buries the whole town.

This is where Prince Rutherford goes from an okay character (Mainly because he was there for exhibition into the Yak culture for the first part of the episode.) into a bad one, all because his pride won't allow him to accept help.  It's WAY too obvious that they need help getting rid of all the snow, so swallow your pride and let them help already!  It's something that drives me up a wall when characters like this are introduced.  They refuse to have their ego damaged and it makes the flaws far too easy to see.

It was a good idea for Pinkie to head back to Ponyville to ask her friends to help without permission from the Yaks.  The Yaks would never get out of it if the Mane Six didn't help.  We even have Twilight using her alicorn magic to speed up the growing of plants.  However, we now get to the ending.

After they had helped, the Mane Six start to leave, but not before being caught by Prince Rutherford, and this is where his character takes a nose dive.  Note that he doesn't once admit to being wrong.  It's done so he doesn't bruise his ego.  Come on, man!  Let your pride take a hit so you can become a better character!  Ugh, whatever!  We end with Pinkie getting a pair of Yak horns that are far too heavy for her as a gift. (Given how much she can lift, they must weigh quite a bit.)

An okay episode, but a certain main character for this episode made the lesson weak, and it wasn't Pinkie Pie.  That character alone may make me NOT want to see it again.

Well, I'll see ya in a few days for when the new episode posts in Australia.

See ya later! :wave

Although I still will not post my reviews for any early release episodes until after they've aired in the US, I will admit that I was so impressed with "Perfect Pear" that I decided to watch it a second time (very unusual for me when it comes to early releases).

By the way, ADFan, YouTube videos of new episodes typically don't last long before the video inevitably gets taken down (typically in little more than a day), so I say let pokeplayer post his own link. (Besides, I prefer DailyMotion anyway.)

I gotta admit that I'm a little surprised to know that this series is still going on... I thought it had ended a long time ago.

I have no chance of catching up now, probably. But oh well, I was fond of it while the appeal lasted for me.

~SUMMARY POST~

What's this?  A Summary Post when there is no pony episode?  What madness is this?  Actually, this is for the Equestria Girls Specials.  We begin the US release of the episodes in the morning.  So deal with that!

Anyways, on to the summary of the first one.

----------------
Title: Dance Magic

Summary: When Rarity finds out about a music video competition, she's eager to convince her friends at Canterlot High to enter the contest. The girls soon learn that Crystal Prep Academy are also interested in participating in the contest. The students at CPA have many more resources and are better dancers! Will they be able to pull together and make a winning music video?
--------------

Yes, there will be official Live Streams of the specials.  So if you have yet to see the episode, (Like me for once.) make sure to check them out.

Post by: The Chronicler on June 24, 2017, 08:50:10 PM
ADFan, could you please shut up about seeing the early releases already? We got the memo weeks ago, so there's no point in repeating it ten times a day.

Anyway, onto my review...
(spoilers)
So the first of the three Equestria girls specials starts with fundraising efforts to pay off the damages done to Camp Everfree back in the previous movie. Car washes, bake sales, and doggy day cares only get them halfway to their target, and since Rarity is the only one to have yet offered an idea, she gladly accepts the challenge (though secretly she's worried because she simply doesn't have an idea yet).

Conveniently, the mall is holding a contest for an original dance and music video with a cash prize that is more than twice what they need, but the Crystal Prep students are also entering with a fundraising effort of their own (to hold their school's spring dance on a yacht, as suggested by now Principal Cadance). Rarity has a plan, but needs to invest all of the money they had already raised to make it happen. However, the Rainbooms are struggling with the dance moves, and worse, Rarity discovers the Crystal Prep girls have stolen her idea.

After her friends fail to come up with any good new ideas, Rarity has all but given up when she overhears the Crystal Prep girls are lacking an original song, the opposite dilemma that the Rainbooms had been facing. So Rarity offers them a radical solution to everyone's problems: work together on a single video, combining the Rainbooms song with the Crystal Prep dancing. The resulting video wins the contest and the massive cash prize is enough to completely pay off both fundraising efforts.

I have to say, while it was nice to see the return of the Crystal Prep girls, it certainly could've been better. Not only was Indigo Zap completely absent, but also there was also little sign of the unique quirks suggested in their first appearances  in the Friendship Games movie. Only Sugarcoat seems to have completely retained her distinctive quirk, while Sour Sweet (surprisingly taking the lead role for the Crystal Prep girls in this special) seems to be a little toned down.

Regardless, as with the previous Equestria Girls movies, I do intend to watch these specials many times over the next few weeks. Not to mention, I did like the song from the music video.

Fair enough my thought are the episode was okay I thought rarity was very annoying in it but she tried to turn herself around. The song wasn't bad I enjoyed the song a lot. I did like the team work in it. So I'll give this episode a 5/10 it's not the best but it was okay.

I saw "The Perfect Pear" and boy, the FEELS I felt! The episode did a great job of telling how Applejack, Big Mac, and Apple Bloom's parents met and the relationship between them was nothing short of heartwarming! My eyes got watery by the end and I shed some tears!
Definitely one of the best season 7 episodes and the best love story in the series!

I got REALLY excited upon seeing the video link on YouTube and...
I just sat and stared at the trailer, wondering what to think of it. I had a feeling
of wonder and the opening scene of Canterlot made me feel as if I was in the film!
I actually had to watch the official trailer several times to study the
animation before thinking of it.

I can tell the animation is not exactly complete, as it is still undergoing the last stages
of production, but the fluid action and bright colors made me anticipate the film more!

Sorry for not giving my review on last week's Equestria Girls Special, I pretty much couldn't think of much I wanted to talk about.  Believe me, it was enjoyable, but I'm not sure what I would want to say about it.

Anyways, onto the summary for tomorrow's Equestria Girls Special.

---------------------
Title: Movie Magic

Summary: The Equestria Girls are invited to the film set for the new Daring Do movie.  Rainbow Dash's dream has come true, but when a very rare and important stage prop disappears, the recordings are paused and Rainbow Dash's dream becomes a nightmare, friends from Ponyville decide to find missing item and become characters from the Daring Do movie in real life.

(spoilers)
So this special takes place at the film studio, where director Canter Zoom (an alumni of Camp Everfree who was briefly seen in the background in the final scenes of Legend of Everfree) has given the main 7 full access to witness filming for the new Daring Do movie (much to Rainbow Dash's excitement).

After splitting up to see all the things that interest them, they get back together to see more of the filming, but a series of problems quickly unfolds. A costume goes missing, a set suddenly collapses, and then the most important props (three idols in the form of a staff, a sword, and an arrow) are suddenly missing. With production of the movie now seriously threatened, the girls realize that someone doesn't want the film to be made, so they set out to solve the mystery.

After a series of events (including the girls being mistakenly put in Power Ponies outfits) Twilight eventually manages to figure out all the clues and sets an arrangement that allows them to catch the culprit trying to takes the missing props off the set. It turns out to be Juniper Montage, the director's niece, and her motive is that she so desperately wanted to play the role of Daring Do that she sabotaged production in the hope that she could drive the actress away and thus would have a chance to take on the role (highly flawed logic, in my opinion). Despite being forgiven by her uncle, she ends up being banned from the film lot, and she gives the main 7 an angry stare as she is taken away by security. Finally, as a reward for saving production, the director gives the main 7 minor background roles in the film (much to Rainbow Dash's obvious excitement).

The fact that this special was mostly about solving a mystery, there were arguably quite a few Scooby Doo references, such as chase scenes with music, splitting up to look for clues, and big eater Pinkie Pie with those candy bars and the big tub of pudding. Not to mention, with the way Juniper Montage left, it's very obvious that she's going to do something very big in the next special.

~REVIEW POST~

Let's skip the pleasantries and get right to it!  Spoilers below!

So, do you like Scooby-Doo?  If you said yes, you might enjoy this one as it does follow a Scooby-Doo formula.

They start with a setting.  Stuff happens.  A mystery suddenly enters the stage.  They split up to look for clues.  Meanwhile, the culprit is in disguise and tries to thwart their every move.  We have a few scenes where stuff is eaten.  Insert chase scene with music in the background.  Final clues come into play.  Culprit falls for a trap and is caught.  Culprit revealed and answer to how it all fits given.  Culprit confesses and is sent away.  Insert happy ending.

The episode follows this to a tee, with some gags thrown in for entertainment value.  As with it being a movie setting, some movie references are thrown in.  I especially liked the Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs reference.

To some degree you really don't see Juniper Montage, Director Canter Zoom's niece, as a likely suspect until the final clue, her having the only key that could lock the room Rainbow Dash was trapped in, comes into play.

Her reason for doing what she did was to have the actress playing Daring Do to leave so she could play the part.  The logic behind that was highly flawed and probably wouldn't work anyways.

Happy ending with the main 7 now playing the part of extra characters in the movie.  Now if Rainbow would just stop her fangasim, they might finish!

I enjoyed it, but it highly depends on if one likes the story formula they went with here.  Next week is the final special!

See ya later! :wave

(spoilers)
Right away, we see Juniper Montage is still furious at the main 7 for stopping her greedy attempts in last week's special. While she's on break from her new job at the theater's concession stand, she finds a hand mirror that has just been enhanced by a stray burst of Equestrian magic (so I guess this is how new magical anomalies are going to occur in this series from now on, stray bursts of magic leaking from the portal, as seen at the very end of Legend of Everfree).

Meanwhile, Sunset is not only needlessly concerned about the recent lack of magical incidents, but has also just run out of pages in her magical journal, so Princess Twilight asks her to come back to Equestria to get a replacement journal. However, when she gets there, Twilight and the others are away on friendship business, so Starlight Glimmer (whom Sunset and her friends are already aware of thanks to Princess Twilight's messages) is the only one around to give her the new journal. But once Sunset has the new journal and prepares to return to the human world, Starlight asks if she could go there as well, and Sunset eventually decides to let her come.

While that's going on, Juniper is discovering the powers of her new magic mirror, such as showing her what she wants to see herself as (a famous and highly adored movie star), and the ability to make things disappear into the mirror by simply wishing it away, including all six of Sunset's friends. When Sunset encounters her (and uses her magic to get answers from Juniper's memories), Juniper (who is clearly growing more crazy from the magic mirror) does not hesitate to trap her as well. Now Starlight Glimmer is the only one around to do anything about the situation. Even worse, since all of the main 7 are now wearing their magical geodes, it causes a reaction that turns Juniper in a freakishly tall, super strong (and kinda ugly) woman who is delusionally convinced that she is exactly the famous movie star she always wanted to be (even though we clearly see all bystanders running away in fear).

Starlight knows that the first thing she needs to do is get the mirror out of Juniper's hand. While she is able to grab that mirror and keep it away, the ensuing chase includes incidents that cause the mirror to start fracturing, leaving the main 7 inside with progressively less space to stand on. Finally, Starlight convinces Juniper that if she really wanted to be liked by everyone, she should consider friendship, regardless of her past actions. Juniper is hesitant, but agrees to wish the girls out of the mirror, and everything is restored to normal (just as the mirror has been reduced to just a single small fragment).

Juniper doubts she'll be forgiven, but the girls say otherwise, citing the past experiences of Starlight, human Twilight, and Sunset. (And Pinkie's remark after that was right, they sure are quite a forgiving group.) Finally, after everything, Sunset gets a message from Princess Twilight saying that she's willing to let Starlight stay in the human world for a few days, so it's possible we may see her again in future installments in the Equestria Girls series.

It sure was really nice to see Starlight Glimmer from Equestria getting to be part of the Equestria Girls series, and we even got a brief return of pony Sunset Shimmer (though her unicorn magic now seems to have a different color compared to what we saw in the first movie). Those are pretty much the only reasons why this one was my favorite of the three specials.
(end spoilers)

And that's it for this years edition of Equestria Girls. Now we just have to wait for news on when season 7 of the main show will resume.

Post by: pokeplayer984 on July 09, 2017, 02:47:22 PM
~REVIEW POST~

In truth, I think this one was the worst of the three, but it was still good.  Spoilers below.

There are some good parts with this.  Sunset returning temporarily to the Pony World to meet Starlight was nice to see.  On top of that, Starlight Glimmer going to the Human World was a joy. (Dare I say, she got used to walking on two legs faster than Twilight did with her first outing.)

However, Juniper did not make for a good villain.  Sure, she had a grudge against the girls, but that was it.  She just was kind of bland in the end.

There were some nice jokes in this.  Pinkie was just enjoyable throughout.  Messing with the fourth wall was the best of the bunch.

Finally, it's nice that Starlight will get to stay in the Human World for a few days.  Maybe more will happen with her around.  We'll see what happens.

Also, if anyone cares to answer, can anyone figure out when in the Pony Timeline this takes place?  I'm having trouble pinpointing it.

Anyways, time for the hiatus.  We'll see how long it lasts.

See ya later! :wave
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on July 12, 2017, 07:50:45 PM
Some possible confirmation for the end of the hiatus:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/07/seas...p-is-magic.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/07/season-7-of-mlp-friendship-is-magic.html)

Looks like new episodes will resume on August 5, just over three weeks from now.

That actually makes sense to me because, as I've cited before, new episodes tend to get finished about 8 weeks before they're scheduled to air in the US, and since episodes 12 and 13 showed in Australia back on June 19 and 20, that means the the absolute latest we would've had to wait is in fact August 5 (assuming Australia decided to air those two episodes at the absolute earliest possible, and that we still get one episode each week, meaning episode 13 can't be any later than August 12).

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/07/augu...ights-show.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/07/august-discovery-family-highlights-show.html)

Looks like episodes 12 and 13 will both air on August 5, with a regular schedule resuming over the following weeks. Let's just hope that, for once, we can go without any more foreign early releases.
Title: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on July 29, 2017, 08:40:47 PM
Just one more week left to go before new episodes return.

I have to say, the past 12 months have been really notorious when it comes to early foreign releases. First, we had Equestria Girls: Legend of Everfree come out a week early in Brazil. Next, the last few episodes of Season 6 came out early in the UK. Later, a vast majority of the first half of Season 7 came out increasingly more early in Canada. Then we had this year's three Equstria Girls specials come out over a month early in Poland, first exclusively in Polish, then later available in English. Finally, we had episodes 12 and 13 of Season 7 come out nearly two months early in Australia, the very same episodes that don't officially release until next Saturday. (What I find really strange about all of this is that, because of all these early foreign releases, I actually remember the names of the various TV channels that showed them: Discovery Kids in Brazil, Tiny Pop in UK, Treehouse in Canada, Teletoon in Poland, and Boomerang in Australia.)

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that we will not see any more early foreign releases for the rest of Season 7 and beyond.

Even though I saw the early release of these two episodes nearly two months ago, I choose to wait until after their official US release before I shared my reviews on them.

(spoilers)
First episode, Fluttershy and Discord are enjoying yet another tea party at Fluttershy's place, and at some point in their conversation, Discord offers to host the next tea party the very next day. As he's out gathering supplies, he eventually comes to believe that a pony like Fluttershy might not like his highly chaotic home and lifestyle, so (with assistance from multiple Discords) he normalizes and organizes his house and his wardrobe.

When Fluttershy arrives (or rather instantly brought there by Discord), she's obviously suprised by how dull and boring everything is. Confusion suddenly turns to panic when Discord's lack of chaotic activity causes him to literally start vanishing out of existence, up the the point where he can no longer even snap his fingers to use his magic. I have to admit, it was fun to see Fluttershy going completely nuts with everything in an attempt to save Discord, and thankfully it actually worked. With Discord safe, Fluttershy tells him that she had really expected his house to be just as chaotic as it actually was. They later proceed with their tea party once Discord's house has been restored to is usual chaotic state

Second episode, when Apple Bloom brings home some pear jam she got from Grand Pear at the market, Applejack and Big Mac quickly hide it before Granny Smith can find out about it. Apple Bloom finds out for apparently the very first time that there's been a family feud between Apples and Pears, and she naturally asks why that is. Applejack and Big Mac admit they're just as clueless, since Granny Smith would always refuse to say anything whenever they had asked her, so the three Apple siblings decided to go ask the family historian Goldie Delicious (previously seen in the Season 4 episode Pinkie Apple Pie). The feud was largely a business rivalry between Granny Smith and Grand Pear, but their respective kids, Bright Mac and Pear Butter (nicknamed Buttercup when they first met), were the only ones to not get involved in the feud and even enjoyed spending time together. Once the Apple sibling realize those two are actually their parents, they're surprised that they're actually half Apple and half Pear.

Now, the Apple siblings decide to learn more about their parents. They first talk to Bright Mac's friend Burnt Oak, who tells them about how their father was an honest pony (much like Applejack). Next, they talk to Pear Butter's friend Mrs. Cake, who tells them not only about how their mother helped her to understand her special talent (much like Apple Bloom), but also about how their parents understood their love for each other. Finally, Mayor Mare talks about how, with the Pear family suddenly moving to Vanhoover, their parents didn't want to be separated, so they decided to get married right away, with a small and secret wedding (and much like Big Mac, they didn't want anything big and fancy). When Granny Smith and Grand Pear find out about it, Birght Mac and Pear Butter make it clear that they refuse to be separated. Grand Pear practically forces his daughter to chose between the Pear family and the Apple family... and she tearfully chooses to stay with the Apples. Grand Pear walks away furiously, and that's presumably the last time they ever spoke to each other.

With Grand Pear now back in Ponyville, the Apple siblings decide it's time to set aside all past differences and bring him and Granny Smith together with them. With Grand Pear expressing deep regrets for his past behavior, they all agree to finally come together as a true family, and they even get to see an entwined apple and pear trees their parents had planted on their wedding night.

The first episode was just fine like most others. The second episode, however, reveals so much backstory about the Apple family that we had wanted to hear about for so long, and does it so well, that I wouldn't be surprise if a lot of fans were to call it one of their absolute favorite episodes of all time (I know I certainly enjoyed seeing it).
(end spoilers)

Now that we are all finally completely caught up on all those early releases, I really hope that'll be the last we'll ever have to worry about that issue.

By the way, some more Equestria Girls shorts have been coming out lately, one yesterday evening and one more about to show this evening. (I've heard that this will be happening every weekend for the entire month of August, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if that turns out to be true.)

~REVIEW POST~

Okay, let's begin this double review.  Starting with Discordant Harmony.  Spoilers below.

Well, this was a fun and enjoyable episode.  For such a simple thing as Discord hosting a tea party for Fluttershy, the writers sure made it work.  Discord literally talking to himself, his shopping trip as a whole, the complete makeover of his place... Discord made so many mundane things enjoyable.

I do like how Pinkie Pie, THE expert in party planning, was there to help Discord at first, and she was totally right in the end.  Fluttershy would have had a great time if Discord was just himself.

Then we get to Act 3, and boy do things get surreal.  The fact that Discord NEEDS to have chaos around him for him to exist says a lot.  It's almost as if he causes chaos as a survival mechanism.  On top of that, we have Fluttershy acting out of character to save her friend.  The lengths she goes to save her friend from vanishing in front of her eyes is a testament to their friendship.  Heck, as a fan of Fluttercord, I welcome all they did here.

Very fun and enjoyable episode.  Worth watching!

Now for The Perfect Pear.

Oh my gosh!  This episode is AMAZING!  This is an episode that honors the memory of the parents of The Apple Siblings.  Bright Mac and Pear Butter loved each other so much, they were willing to defy their parents to see one another and dared to have a secret weeding just to be together in the end.  They may not be among the living, but they will always be in the hearts of those who love them.

Also, the choice Pear Butter had to make.  I do not wish this upon even my worst enemy.  Choosing between the family you've loved all your life and the love of your life is a difficult decision and not one to be taken lightly.  I cannot imagine the pain she felt being forced to make the choice she did.  The feud started as a business rivalry and it led to this breaking point.  I am still shocked it went this far.

However, let's talk about my thoughts on the fandom with this.  I am utterly shocked by the fact that Applebloom's line of, "They may not be with us anymore.", a line used as a hint in media for confirming someone has passed on, didn't all but confirm them being dead in the minds of a number of them.  I guess some people need to see a freaking tombstone and a line that confirms they've been dead this whole time just to finally give in!  Ugh!  Sometimes this fandom drives me up a wall.

Enough of that though.  Anyways, I am also surprised with the ones they touched.  Sure, we had a new character in Burnt Oak, but I never expected Mrs. Cake to be Pear Butter's best friend and Mayor Mare to be the one to officiate the wedding.  Mrs. Cake especially came out of left field.  It was indeed quite surprising.

Finally, let's talk about Grand Pear and Granny Smith in all of this.  The fandom has called the both of them hypocrites, and they are not wrong.  One could argue that they should not care about the kids that Bright Mac and Pear Butter had.  However, the fact that Granny Smith loves her grandkids, despite the fact they are half-Pear, shows she was willing to put aside the feud to care for any member of the family.  Deep down, it must have been difficult for her to do such a thing.  She set aside her pride to raise her grandkids after the parents passed on.

Then, there's Grand Pear.  An old stallion, who realized far too late that he was nothing but an old fool.  Forcing his daughter to choose because of his pride.  He regrets it deeply and wants to make amends any way he can.  Now, he's trying to get to know the children his daughter had.  He's setting aside his pride to get to know three ponies who are half-Apple.

Are they still hypocrites?  Yes, but the fact they are making the right decision, makes it not matter.

I dare to say this is the best episode of Season 7 thus far.  A great episode I would definitely watch again.

See ya next week for an episode that debates Friendship Lessons. :wave

(spoilers)
After dealing with a friendship dispute between two random fillies, Twilight suddenly remembers the Friendship Journal that she and her friends wrote back in Season 4. However, it's in rather poor condition due to neglect, so Starlight offers to make fresh copies for them and their friends (using a spell she had developed for a certain "manifesto" her old evil self wrote). This and the recent incident with those fillies gives Twilight the idea to make many more copies and distribute them all over Equestria, in hopes that they can teach everyone about friendship lessons they had learned over the years. Once she gets approval from all of her friends, she goes through with her idea.

It isn't long before the results of this effort turn out in ways the Main 6 had not intended: Rarity is devastated that she is so disliked for her dramatic personality; Pinkie Pie is laughed at every time she says something, even when she's trying to be serious; Rainbow Dash is constantly surrounded by obsessive fans who won't leave her alone, not even when she has important weather duties; Fluttershy is accused of never actually learning her lessons on assertiveness; Applejack's home gets severely overcrowded by fans wanting to be part of her family; and Twilight just gets asked all kinds of random questions.

The unwanted attention become so problematic that Twilight's friends are practically forced to barricade themselves inside her castle. Twilight tries to reason with the crowd outside that she only wanted to share the journal's friendship lessons with everyone, but they stubbornly stick to their attitudes and beliefs. Not even a song is enough change their minds. Remarkably, Starlight tracks down the two fillies who had fought at the start of the episode and they reveal that not only did they read a copy of the journal, but the friendship lessons they learned from it actually made them closer friends. For Twilight and the others, that's good enough for them to say that the effort was worth it (despite the crowd still gathered outside).

I have to say, this episode was clearly meant to be a huge series of meta-jokes regarding fans of the show. I'm sure some of us are familiar with the stereotype that some fans obsessively watch certain episodes many times, frequently argue about who is "best pony", and almost never demonstrate the friendship lessons of some episodes.

One little detail I noticed is that the Cutie Mark Crusaders (apparently thanks to the sudden popularity they've gotten from the Friendship Journal) decided to start a so-called "Cutie Mark Camp", and based on what I've heard about the remaining episode summaries for the season, that could actually be foreshadowing an upcoming episode much later on.

I would also like to note that, since that journal was apparently neglected for quite a while, it seems that the last entries may have been from the end of Season 4, right before the Main 6 met Starlight Glimmer. Not only would that explain Starlight's unfamiliarity with it, but it would also arguably indicate that some details in the journal may be a little out of date (like the state of Fluttershy's assertiveness).
(end spoilers)

Anyway, it sure is nice to finally get back into the old routine of everyone seeing new episodes on the intended premier date. I'll definitely be looking forward to next week's new episode.

Oh boy!  What an episode!  This was definitely good!  Spoilers below!

I'm sure I didn't need the lessons of this episode shoved down my throat, but I know members of the fandom that do.  This is one of those episodes where they make fun of the fandom and it's enjoyable to boot.

I mean, all of the comments the ponies gave on the Friendship Journal, I have seen every single one of them more than once in the fandom. (Even the whole "Twilight was better without wings" argument is still going on.  Why can't some people just get over it already?) It has become a hostile place and I'm not sure how much more I can take before I demand some moderation to happen.

Anyways, back to the episode, it was pretty crazy.  You had ponies who only wanted to preserve it, Rarity "stress sowing" one of the worst dresses I have ever seen, (Seriously, even though I have "no fashion sense", even I can tell it's bad.) Pinkie being laughed at ALL the time, Ponies staying at Applejack's, Fluttershy being harshly criticized on having to learn the same thing over and over and Rainbow being told how cool she is ALL the time. (She can't even have privacy in the restroom apparently.) Geez!  Talk about craziness!

Even the song which is meant to drill the most important point of the episode doesn't sway these ponies.  It makes me wonder just how they get rid of them in the end. (FimFiction, ahoy?) I would consider those two fillies that Twilight talked to are "true" fans to their book, but that's just me.

Great episode and worth watching.

Next time, we have a certain dragon and changeling meeting each other for the first time.

See ya later! :wave

The episode begins with everyone in Ponyville getting ready to welcome Ember, but while Spike, Twilight, and Starlight are going over the checklist, Thorax suddenly shows up, and Spike suddenly realizes that he invited both Ember and Thorax on the same day and apparently never noticed such a scheduling conflict. Spike immediately assumes the worst and fears that dragons and changelings will not get along at all, so with some help from Twilight and Starlight, he decides to do everything he can to keep Ember and Thorax apart.

Naturally, shenanigans result. Twilight takes Thorax to the castle, but Spike accidentally convinces Ember to visit the castle as well. While Twilight bores Thorax with reading chairs, Ember's visit in the dining room takes an awkward turn due to dragons diet preferences for gems and crystals. Spike suddenly gets summoned by the Cutie Map to solve a friendship problem right in town (certainly didn't see that one coming), so while he heads out to find it, Twilight and Starlight swap places (so Twilight is now with Ember and Starlight is with Thorax), and without realizing the other's actions, they both take their companions out into town. A little later, Spike ends up listening to (and getting bored by) Thorax's many issues, while Twilight and Starlight together causes Ember to get confused by how similar they are (nice little meta joke there).

Inevitably, they do end up meeting, but the initial aggression is due to them both mistaking the other for trying to harm their friend Spike. A few words exchanged make them quickly realize their error before they could come to blows, and they both end up leaving Spike for seemingly not trusting them to get along.

Soon after (in the part of this episode that pleasantly surprised me), Thorax and Ember meet each other and they both end up offering helpful advice that the other desperately needed. Ember teaches Thorax how to be more assertive so he can better handle his new role of leadership, and Thorax teaches Ember that she'll be better able to make friends if she simply talked about her feelings. Using their respective lessons, they both confront Spike, who then apologizes for jumping to conclusions. With everyone finally reaching an understanding, Spike completes his Cutie Map mission (interesting to note that it sent him to solve a problem that he ended up causing in the first place).

Not a bad episode, in my opinion, though there were certainly moments of cringe, which I'm sure I've mentioned before that I'm never fond of. The old trope of keeping two individuals unaware of the other's nearby presence was rather predictable, so it was rather nice to see two things I was not expecting: Spike getting called by the Cutie Map, and Ember and Thorax end up solving their problems on their own without Spike's help at all. I would consider this among my favorable episodes, but not much else to say for it.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention, no new Equestria Girls shorts this weekend, but we did get one earlier this week:

~REVIEW POST~

I'll be making an announcement after this post on a little issue going on.  For now, here's my thoughts on the episode.  Spoilers below.

There is little doubt in my mind just how bad of an episode this one was.  It contained missed opportunities, conflicts that weren't needed and a lesson that the show alone teaches.

We even have Spike be given the idiot ball and hold it through the entire episode.  I really hate when a character is given the idiot ball.  It just shows the writer being non-creative.

If anything, both Ember and Thorax themselves were good characters.  They had problems that those alone would be better to talk about for the episode.  To introduce and expand into.

Ember has such a problem with enforcing friendship into dragon culture, that it's proven to be ineffective.  She's not used to receiving hugs and she misinterprets certain cultures.  She's actually great for all of this.  The core problem she has is that she was being TOO competitive.  To the point where she was bullying other dragons.  This could have been expanded upon and gone more in-depth.  However, because of all that was just wasted time, it's all set to just a few minutes and the problem is solved far too quickly.

Then we have Thorax.  He can sure ramble.  On top of that, he's not that aggressive about his leader roles.  He also has problems with converting changelings to the new way of feeding off of love.  Some changelings are traditionalists apparently and making them change their ways proves to be difficult.  This really could have been expanded upon too, but it seems they'll be saving it for a future episode.

Instead, we have the majority of the episode dedicated Spike freaking out for no good reason and trying to keep them apart to the point where he himself creates such a huge friendship problem that the map responds.  Nice to see the map can even call Spike.  However, I don't feel like this one counts because not only does he cause it, but the problem solves itself.  I'm hoping for a real one in the future.

This was a bad episode.  Only Ember and Thorax were good in it.

For what it's worth, I'm not seeing this one again.

Next time, camping trip!

See ya later! :wave

So, now for my announcement.  I've made a decision.  I've chosen to block EqD's comment section from my computers.  The mods there have proven to be ineffective in dealing with trolls to the point where they don't even bother.  They've given the role of "mod" a bad name and I just don't want to deal with their continued disbelief of what Freedom of Speech entitles to.

Now, this will not effect me going there.  I can still read their articles and link to what I want to.  It's just the comment section I have a problem with and it's time I took care of this situation.

So yeah, nothing has changed for here.  I just won't be posting on EqD anymore.  It's just not worth it in the end.

So it looks like the sisters' weekend camping trip we saw back in Season 3 has now become an annual tradition. Some things have changed (like Rarity settling for a more modest tent and packing not quite so heavily) while others are still the same (Scootaloo still apparently has an intense fear of being out in the woods). However, some kind of massive bug infestation forces the six ponies to flee their camp and take shelter inside a cave. While they wait for things to improve, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash each decide to share their favorite legend. (I'm afraid I can't immediately remember their names, since I've currently seen the episode only once.)

Applejack starts off with a legend about an earth pony stallion who wished to join a group of brave warriors, but was never taken seriously due to how scrawny he was. But then when the nearby volcano erupts and threatens the village, he jumps into action by trying to dig a trench to divert the lava flow. Obviously, this would seem like an impossible task with how little time he had, but then some strange force of magic suddenly gives him the strength to finish the task just in time, saving the village and earning the right to join that warrior group.

Rarity next tells the legend of of a beautiful unicorn mare who, after being away studying at a magic school, returns home to find the once beautiful town has been impoverished by the new empress, who also happens to be a formerly close friend of hers. She confronts the empress, who was so jealous of her beauty that she tried a spell on herself that ended up horribly backfiring, thus corrupting her into removing beauty from everywhere else. After a magic dual, the empress is defeated, and the mare restores beauty to the land, even though it comes at the cost of her own beauty.

Rainbow Dash then tells the legend of a pegasus stallion who was part of a military legion trying to make their way back home, but some dragons wouldn't let them pass and they end up capturing some of his comrades. Against his commander's wishes, he wants to rescue them, so he decides to distract the dragons and lure them out of the cave so the rest of the legion can rescue their fellow soldiers. He manages to fly faster than the dragons, and after the legion sets a trap of a massive storm cloud, the dragons are sent back, and the entire legion is able to continue home.

After the stories are finished, the six ponies manage to find an alternate route to their destination, and despite the earlier infestation, they agree that the camping trip was still enjoyable thanks to all those stories they shared.

I liked this episode quite a lot. I was especially fascinated to see the pony interpretations of the different settings for each of these legends (Norse for the first, Ancient Chinese for the second, and Roman for the third). It certainly does a great job of expanding the pony world beyond Equestria, and I would very much like to see more of this kind of world-building content in some future episodes and seasons.

~REVIEW POST~

Okay, took me some time to come up with what I wanted to say, but here's my thoughts on the episode.  Spoilers below!

So, we get a bunch of interesting lore here.  Not only do we get three stories that are in different points of history, but we also get a new insect.  One that has only sparked the horror section of my brain.  I'll get to that last part later.  For now, let's get to the stories.

First was the Norse era with Applejack's story.  An earth pony stallion wants to join a bunch of warriors, but they don't take him seriously due to how scrawny he is.  Then one day, the volcano erupts and threatens to destroy the village.  The stallion would have obviously been killed if not for whatever magical thing he hit gave him the strength and speed needed to pull off digging a trench to divert the lava flow.  After that, he is initiated into the group and becomes a warrior himself.

With the first story, I mainly ask what he hit to suddenly become so strong.  We never get an answer and it all seems to be up to speculation.

Next was Ancient Chinese with Rarity's story.  Unlike the simplistic story that Applejack gave, this one was a little more complex.  A unicorn that was considered beautiful to the many in her village goes off to college and when she returns, she finds that the place had been stolen of the beauty by her friend, whom she believed wouldn't do that.  She confronts her friend and finds out that her friend tried a spell to make herself more beautiful that horribly backfired.  After a magic duel where the beautiful mare wins, she gives up her beauty to make the town beautiful again.  After which, she went all over Equestria, making things beautiful again.

The second one was heart-warming.  I enjoyed it quite a bit and liked the characters a lot.  The story was also good.

Finally was Roman with Rainbow's story.  It was very simple.  A team of pegasi are traveling when they run into dragons and some of their teammates are captured.  One pegasus decides to outsmart the dragons so the rest can rescue their teammates.  With the help of a fire-proof shield, the plan works and they lead the dragons into a storm cloud to defeat them.

This one was pretty fun.  It was short and enjoyable.

Then they find the way out to their original destination.

Now, the last thing I'll talk about is the new creature, flyders.  So, it's an obvious hybrid of fly and spider.  They travel in swarms and love to just devour any food they find.  However, one line from Applejack mentions that they like to eat ponies as well.  It was only Rainbow Dash's quick thinking of causing a cave in that saved them. (I'm sure she even squished a few in the process.)

I won't be surprised if I see a story where these bugs eat a pony.  We'll see though.

Good episode!  Well worth watching.

Next time, more changeling lore.

See ya later! :wave

(spoilers)
We start off with Starlight and Trixie going to the Changeling realm to give a surprise visit to their friend Thorax. We see that the land has already greatly improved with plant life beginning to flourish all over the place. However, the duo are captured and brought to Thorax by the one changeling who has still yet to change, his older brother Pharynx (in charge of security, formerly very trusted by Chrysalis, but now finding himself isolated and without purpose among the new changelings).

After that uneasy introduction, Thorax shows Starlight and Trixie around the newly redecorated hive, and we can see there's now a lot more open spaces with further plant life, and there's a wide diversity of activities for changelings to do whatever they want. However, speaking with the other changelings reveals that Pharynx and his stubbornness for the old ways is despised by virtually everyone, and even Thorax admits that the only reason he hasn't kicked him out is simply because he's his brother.

After some failed attempts to convince Pharynx to accept the new ways, Starlight practically gives up and decides to tell Thorax that he should just do what the other changelings want and get rid of him, but at the last minute just can't bring herself tell him that. She then comes up with the idea of solving two problems at once by luring some giant mole rat that's been causing problems lately into the hive so Pharynx can use his combat skills to deal with it, but it horribly backfires when Pharynx goes missing.

After failing to convince the other changelings to help (because unlike under Chrysalis, they are now given a choice) Thorax, Starlight, and Trixie go out to deal with the threat alone, only to see Pharynx already fighting that giant mole rat. Very little progress is made in the battle, not even when the other changelings decide to show up after all, and it's only when Pharynx and Thorax trick the giant mole rat into literally hitting itself that it finally flees.

Pharynx admits he was leaving because he had overheard Starlight's earlier doubts about him, but his dedication to the hive is so great that he was willing to fight that giant mole rat to protect the hive, even though he knew very well he couldn't do it by himself. Once he realizes just how dedicated he truly is to protecting the hive and the other changelings admit they would still need protection every now and then, Pharynx finally transforms into his new form (an appearance which is somewhere between Thorax and the other changelings).

I liked some of the call-backs mentioned, such as how just two episodes ago, Ember's advice allowed Thorax to deal with those renegade changelings, leaving Pharynx as the only one still clinging onto the old ways. And of course, Trixie is still arrogant and selfish enough that Starlight has to call it out at times.

~REVIEW POST~

Sorry for the delay again!  Been a little crazy taking care of some big dogs. (One just LOVES to play.) On to my review.  Spoilers below.

To be honest, this was an episode that I'm more interested in the new culture than the actual plot involving Thorax's brother.  Don't get me wrong, Pharynx is a good character.  However, there's more interesting things in this episode that I'm attracted to, and that's a shame.

Again, don't get me wrong, this is a good episode. (Starlight not withstanding, we'll get to her in a moment.) The plot was good, but there's more interesting things going on that I'm more interested in.

The established culture of the new changelings has been an intriguing thing to see.  We have new plant life growing, (Which I'm sure attracted the Maulwurf in the first place.) the changelings taking up arts and crafts, theater and dancing.  Plus the food of the new changelings. (Which I'm sure is omnivorous.)

However, let's talk about the Feelings Forum, because that was quite the highlight for me.  Almost immediately being introduced to it, we have a changeling with an identity crisis.  It speaks volumes due to what changelings are.  They can change themselves at will.  So one having this problem says a lot and I won't be surprised if a fanfic about it appears.

Though, let's get to the elephant in the room, Pharynx.  He's actually a nice guy, he just prefers the old ways and was in charge of the patrol.  During this time of peace, he's having a difficult time adjusting.  He actually cares about Thorax. (Evidenced by Pharynx protecting Thorax from bullies in a flashback.) Yet, everyone hates him and wants him to leave. (Which he does end up doing.)

Now, let's get to Starlight Glimmer.  They show that, despite having a similar sounding name, she is no Twilight Sparkle in this episode.  I mean, the very fact she tries to lead the Maulwurf back to the hive to get Pharynx to stay is bad enough.  However, we also have her giving up on Pharynx and her speech to try and convince the other changelings to help being an epic fail.  People say she's a clone of Twilight.  I wonder what show they're watching?

Finally, let's get to the Maulwurf.  That thing looks amazing!  This is meant to be a potential threat to changelings and it does the job well.  The fight showed that not even the most experienced changeling could beat it.  On top of that, the new changelings proved to be out of practice.  The only way they could beat it was making it hit itself.

After the battle is over, Pharynx reveals that he does still care about his hive and the changelings admit that he still has a place with them.  As a result, he changes his form, which, according to the followup, is actually being accepted by the fandom.  We'll see if that remains true.  I for one do like Pharynx's design a lot.  It is better than Thorax's.  That's for sure.

Overall, it is a good episode.  I'm sure it'll bring quite a few fanfics in the future.

Next time, Daring Do!

See ya later! :wave

Just thought that I'd like to point out to you, Pokeplayer, how your recent decision to block all comments on Equestria Daily seems a little silly to me. Honestly, you shouldn't let one troll ruin all the fun, so that's why I always just completely ignore him. Instead, I usually just skip ahead to the good parts, such as the comments that were posted as the episode was showing to see people's live reactions (believe me, some of them can be quite funny).

I always post my reviews here before I ever get a chance the read any of those comments (so you guys can see my original and authentic thoughts on these episodes), and once I do read them, I do in fact gain a better understanding for the episodes. With the most recent one as an example, it had never occurred to me that Thorax and his brother Pharynx could be compared to Celestia and Luna, respectively. Those comments even give me an insight into what minor details could potentially become surprisingly popular, such as that changeling who complained about his soup at the feelings forum.

In addition, it turns out there actually was a link posted to a Dailymotion version. You just had to dig really deep through the comments to find it. I'll be nice to save you the trouble of finding it by just posting the link here myself:

After some thought, I have chosen to get back onto the comment section of EqD.  However, I will make a few changes to what appears there.  Biggest change will be setting it to "newest first".  That way, I don't even see the troll period and I can move on.

(spoilers)
Pinkie Pie reads a newspaper to a bored Rainbow Dash and they come across an article announcing A. K. Yearling's retirement. Since the article doesn't explain much, Rainbow and Pinkie quickly rush over to Yearling's house and after a lot of asking, Yearling finally reveals that Daring Do's reputation has been completely ruined due to all the collateral damaged she had unintentionally caused on her latest adventure. Rainbow decides that they should go back to that village and convince the locals that Daring Do isn't really so bad (with Daring obviously going in her Yearling identity to avoid any problems).

At the village, we see the collateral damage, including the statue of Somnabula, a figure of an ancient Egyptian style legend who never gave up hope when faced with troubles, including saving a prince from an evil sphinx. However, despite Rainbow's best efforts, the villagers still question Daring, especially due to a certain cloaked figure insisting that Daring was a menace, even accusing her of stealing all of the town's precious stones, which she certainly didn't. (I knew it was Cabileron as soon as I saw that scruffy muzzle, and especially when he kept saying "your- our statue".)

Rainbow Dash eventually confronts the cloaked figure, and Cabileron reveals himself, then he and his henchmen kidnap her and take her to the pyramid of Somnabula's legend. Pinkie and Daring go after them and, just like in the legend, they can't use wings to cross a boiling pit to save their friend. Pinkie comes up with the idea of following the legend's lesson of never giving up hope and decides to "take a leap of faith", and it turns out they are able to bonce off some vents to safely get across.

The three of them return to the village and confront Cabileron as he tries to leave, exposing him to the village that he's the one who actually stole all their precious stones. Cabileron admits his rather ingenious plan to stop Daring Do by ruining her reputation, but now that the villagers have caught onto the truth, he's once again forced to flee with nothing. After that, Daring shares the lesson she had learned: no matter how much of a good guy you are, if bad things happen because of your actions, even if they were unintentional, you're still responsible for them, and you need to make sure you set things right. The episode finishes with Daring replacing a destroyed apple cart, paying off a tavern she frequently stays at, and making sure that the village gets back their all-important statue of Somnabula.

I think the lesson of this episode is a very good one. I honestly can't help but think of Mythbusters and the aftermath of that cannonball incident as an excellent example of that.

~REVIEW POST~

I'd say this was a good episode.  Time you all to find out why.  Spoilers below.

Pinkie Pie picks up the local newspaper and starts going through the titles to Rainbow Dash, despite the fact that Rainbow finds the newspaper boring.  That is until the announcement that A. K. Yearling is retiring is said.  The newspaper at hand gives little to no explanation as to why this is.

Worried that this could mean their friend is in trouble, (and that Rainbow also thinks it means the end of Daring Do Books) the two rush over to A. K. Yearling's house to get some answers.  Turns out that it has to do with the fact that in her latest adventure, Daring Do caused damage to a town accidentally, thus killing her reputation.

When Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Yearling go to the town, they find that the damage includes a destroyed apple cart, an overdue hotel room payment (the likely has late fees attached) and the complete destruction of a statue.  Daring Do is even being blamed by a cloaked pony for stealing "glow-paz" from citizens.  A crime she didn't commit.

The statue turned out to be that of a pony named Somnabula.  Long ago, when a Sphinx ruled over the ponies, she was a symbol of hope.  She had saved the Pharaoh's son when he was captured.  It also tells how "glow-paz" became their symbol.  So yeah, the statue was pretty important.

Of course, this tale doesn't stop the cloaked pony from swaying the townspeople of how terrible Daring Do is.  Rainbow finally confronts him about what his problem with Daring Do is, and the cloaked pony reveals himself to be Caballeron. (They kind of made it obvious.) He captures Rainbow Dash and hauls her off to the pyramid.  Rainbow screams for help, prompting Pinkie Pie and A. K. Yearling to chase after them.  Along the way, A. K. Yearling turns into Daring Do.

They arrive at the pyramid and find Rainbow tied up over a pool of acid. (Refuse to call it "slime" when we know what it actually is.) Like in the story, the pyramid has a powerful magic that makes pegasi unable to fly.  However, thanks to some air vents, they make it to Rainbow and save her. (I actually facepalmed at that.)

Meanwhile, Caballeron and his goons try to leave town with the glow-paz they stole, but Rainbow, Pinkie and Daring arrive to stop him and reveal him as the thief of the glow-paz.  He then proceeds to reveal his plan, which is admittedly a good one, though one wonders why he didn't expand it further if his plan was to destroy Daring Do's reputation.  He gets away after the townspeople try to gang up on him.

After learning her lesson, Daring Do replaces the apple cart, pays off her debt to the hotel (and as a result, puts Caballeron on the "not allowed" list for the place) and erects a new statue of Somnabula for the townspeople.

Despite a few flaws, it was a good episode.

Next time, Rarity loses her mane.

(spoilers)
In perhaps one of the longest intro scenes ever on this show, we see Rarity preparing for her "best mane" photoshoot by going around town to arrange for some special items she needs, while also giving advice to improve their businesses in the process. But then she gets to Sugarcube Corner and encounters Pinkie Pie celebrating some anniversary with the Cake twins by recklessly shooting "sticky string" all over the place.

Rarity and Pinkie both go to Zecora to get potions to solve their respective problems, special shampoo for Rarity to get the mess out of her mane, and special remover to help Pinkie clean up the big mess at home. However, both potions look identical, so when Rarity accidentally knocks them off the table, it was inevitable that they would get mixed up.

After the damage is done, while Zecora offers to try her best to find a solution, Rarity is forced to go around town in a hooded cloak. Not only is she so unrecognizable to the point of being a complete pushover, she also ends up failing to acquire any of the items she needed for the photoshoot. She goes to Twilight and Starlight for help, but as they point out, magic can't make something like hair just spontaneously appear. At this point, Zecora arrives and confirms there's nothing she can do to help. With the only possible cure being the use of time travel, both Twilight and Starlight immediately refuse to attempt any such magic ever again.

Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy all offer their own kinds of solutions, but none of them work, and Rarity is forced to cancel the photoshoot. All of her friends (except Pinkie who's still trying the clean the mess at Sugarcube Corner) arrive to offer words of encouragement, and that not even a loss of hair would ever change who she is. With this encouragement, Rarity decides to use what little hair she has left to take on a punk rock type of hairstyle, and in spite of the obviously different look, she and everypony in town are back to behaving just like normal.

It takes months for Rarity's hair to grow back into her normal style, and it is only by then that she learns that her friends had arranged to have Photo Finish discretely take pictures of Rarity's puck rock hairstyle, and it ends up becoming so popular that other ponies have decided to use it as well.

And of course, this week's Equestria Girls short added to Hasbro's YouTube channel:

~REVIEW POST~

So, here we go with this review.  I have a few things I want to talk about.  Spoilers below.

So, in one of the longest openings ever, (probably THE longest) we get quite a bit to happen.  The one that sparks my interest the most is the first line that's uttered, which was by Filthy Rich.  Apparently we have a new pony holiday here called "Mare's Day".  I guess it's to buy something for "Your Special Mare" or something?  I don't know.  It's not really made clear in the end.  However, I would like to see what the fandom comes up with for it.

Anyways, after a long opening where Rarity makes orders and helps those businesses become better, she arrives at Sugar Cube Corner, where Pinkie is celebrating The Cake Twins' First Sneeze Anniversary. (Leave it to Pinkie to come up with the strangest things to celebrate.) However, Pinkie gets her special Super Sticky Silly String all over the place.  Including in Rarity's hair.

With Pinkie Pie making a mess and Rarity needing her hair fixed before her photo shoot with Photo Finish tomorrow, the two head to Zecora's to get a potion for each of them.  Two main problems make themselves known with the potions.  One, they look the same.  Two, they aren't labeled.  As such, it was inevitable that they would get mixed up when Rarity accidentally knocked them over.  Pinkie ends up with the shampoo and Rarity gets the remover potion.  Resulting in Rarity losing most of her mane and tail.

Rarity rushes back to Zecora's to get a cure, but Zecora tells her that it will take time.  While she waits, Rarity tries to get the other things on her list done, but with her being behind a cloak that covers her body, no one recognizes her and she can't get her items.

Desperate for help, Rarity goes to Twilight's.  However, Twilight tells her that there is no known spell for fixing her mane.  Rarity pretty much begs her and Starlight to try anything.  They used many different spells at their disposal, but nothing helps in getting Rarity's mane back.  Zecora arrives at the castle and gives Rarity the disappointing news that she can't help her, but does inform Rarity that in time her hair will grow back.

Obviously distraught, Rarity tries to do what she can, but even Applejack, Rainbow and Fluttershy have trouble giving their honest opinions of how bad it is.  They all decide to try and help.  They do their best, (I especially like Rainbow's attempt.) but nothing seems to work.  She goes home depressed and decides to cancel the photo shoot.

Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Twilight and Starlight all go to Rarity's home to find her so depressed that she's eating a tub of ice cream.  They then give her words of encouragement and, deciding to shine from the inside out, Rarity uses what's left of her hair to take on a new punk rock look.

Rarity cancels her orders, but allows them to be sold to other clients. (Including a distraught Flithy Rich who got his wife the wrong color of flowers.  Apparently, Spoiled's favorite color is purple.) However, after giving away the sofa that would have been hers, she suddenly realizes that Pinkie must have the shampoo.  Pinkie's attempt at cleaning up Sugar Cube Corner resulted in the entire place being filled with soapy bubbles to the point where it was about to burst. (Plus, Pinkie and the Cake Twins have their hair being extra bouncy.) Rarity decides to fetch the rest of the remover potion she didn't use.

Months pass and Rarity has gotten her hair back.  However, her friends surprise her with the new book that Photo Finish made and it turns out that Rarity's new punk rock look made the front cover.  Apparently, her friends had Photo Finish secretly take pictures of her.  The episode ends with showing that the new style was a hit. (Apparently, the fandom has also exploded with it.)

A good episode that was very entertaining.

Next week, Zecora gets sick.

Zecora is helping Fluttershy gathering some special moss for the animal sanctuary, but after falling into the swamp water, some flower releases pollen that causes her to become infected. They visit Ponyville's doctor and he determines that Zercora has caught a very rare disease known as swamp fever, which has no known cure and the outcome for the victim is turning into a tree (probably because a show like this can't talk about fatal diseases).

Fluttershy becomes very determined to find a cure to save Zecora, so after being told that some ancient pony known as the "mystical mask" may have the answers, Fluttershy immediately goes to Twilight to do some research. Fluttershy is so determined that even after they've searched every book in the library, she refuses to give up, not even to get some sleep. So while Twilight manages to get a good night's rest, Fluttershy is eventually able to figure out that the "mystical mask" was Mage Medowbrook (another one of the legends we've seen in recent episodes).

With absolutely no hesitation, Fluttershy immediately goes to the Hayseed Swamp, taking Twilight with her. At the seemingly abandoned village, they find Meadowbrook's old home and encounter one of her descendants, Cattail. They then read through some of Meadowbrook's old journals and discover that the cure for swamp fever is the honey from some highly aggressive electric bees, though the journals fail to mention how to safely obtain that honey. To make matters worse, Fluttershy starts to show symptoms of swamp fever. (I had initially assumed her confusion was due to sleep deprivation, but then I remembered it was one of the symptoms for the disease.)

Fluttershy tries everything to get through the bees, but not even her stare works. Then her sleep deprivation catches up to her and she faints. She wakes up three days later, and while Twilight and Cattail did make efforts to get the cure, none of them were successful. Then Fluttershy notices one particular mask on the wall and figures out that wearing that particular mask was the key, because it closely resembled the hive's queen, and she uses it to acquire the honey to cure herself and Zecora (and the doctor as well).

Quite an interesting lesson for this episode: no matter how much you'd like to care for others, you should at least care for yourself enough so that you'll be even capable of helping others. Also, all the legends of this season take inspiration from particular cultures, and based on the environment and accents in the flashback, it looks like the one for Mage Meadowbrook is Cajun/Voodoo.

Well, I've been having trouble figuring out what I want to talk about.  I mean, it's good and all, but there's not much to talk about here.  It's one of those episodes.

Besides, there's something more interesting that happened.  Apparently, someone tried to record the World Premiere of the My Little Pony Movie that's due to come out in theaters soon.  Not only did he get kicked out, but so did the one who caught them in the act.

For the Cutie Mark Crusaders, business is booming (so to speak), so helping ponies one at a time is no longer enough. They decide to start a day camp where colts and fillies without a cutie mark can do all kinds of activities, just like they used to do in earlier seasons.

Once they get the word out, foals without cutie marks sign up. However, Rumble (who's only previous appearance was just a single line in the Season 2 episode "Hurricane Fluttershy") has no interest at all, but when his older brother Thunderlane (who has since become a Wonderbolt like Rainbow Dash) finds out about it, he practically forces his little brother to join.

While everyone else is having a good time on the first day of camp (with one pony even getting their cutie mark), Rumble pretty much deliberately fails at everything (though I'm surprised the CMCs didn't even realize it until much later in the episode). When the CMCs try to offer encouragement, he pretty much snaps at them and says that he doesn't want a cutie mark at all, which naturally shocks them.

The next day, after once again being forced by his brother to attend, Rumble takes a more twisted approach and practically seizes control of the camp by convincing the blank-flank foals that cutie marks restrict them to a life of one thing and nothing else, and they should stay "blank-flanks forever" so they can be free to do anything they want. (It really makes me wonder how certain ponies like Diamond Tiara or Starlight Glimmer might have reacted to such an attitude.)

After some failed attempts to reason with Rumble, the CMCs go to Thunderlane for help, and he reveals that Rumble had apparently become so desperate to one day become a Wonderbolt like him, that he's been refusing to do anything except training like a Wonderbolt out of fear that he could end up with a cutie mark in something else and end up never being able to follow his dream.

Later, with Rumble insisting on everyone not doing anything at all (which naturally leaves everyone bored) to avoid the risk of anyone getting a cutie mark, the CMCs announce Thunderlane as a special guest for the day to help out in all the activities. It's not long before the foals all go back to the CMCs, and Rumble eventually gives in when a new activity is revealed as an obstacle course inspired by the kind used by Wonderbolts. Once he gets there, he's surprised to see Thunderlane is cooking rather than trying the obstacle course. He tells Rumble that, when it's his turn for chef duties on the team, he actually enjoys it very much, despite having a cutie mark that doesn't reflect that. This makes Rumble finally understand that no matter what kind of cutie mark he'll eventually get, he will still be able to do any other activities he likes.

Quite an interesting episode that further expands on the concept of cutie marks in a rather unique direction.

~REVIEW POST~

You know, I'm going to do my style of review differently.  Instead, I'm going to point out certain key things about the episode and give my thoughts on them.  So, here we go!  Spoilers below.

The "business" of The Cutie Mark Crusaders has been booming since we last saw them.  They simply have too many clients.  This Day Camp thing is a good idea to help out all of those they can.  This will help streamline the process in the end.

Wow!  We sure haven't seen Rumble in quite a while.  He's got his own following in the fandom.  Most infamous creation from them is a story where he's raised by Transformers, but that's going off topic.

Anyways, Rumble here brings up an interesting, though not well executed, thought. (Mainly due to the fact that he's young and doesn't know much on the subject, so what do you expect?) The idea that having a cutie mark makes you a slave to what your talent is.  However, it's not the cutie mark itself that does this.

I can pick out two of the Mane Six almost immediately as fine examples.  First, Rarity.  Rarity's special talent is finding gem stones.  However, what she does for a living is completely different.  She creates exotic styles of fashion and has turned that into a small and successful business.  She's made branches of her business in Manehatten and Canterlot.  Both of which she is doing well in last we checked.  I'd say she's not a slave at all to her talent.

A lesser example would be Pinkie Pie.  Sure, she loves doing parties, (We had one from her only a few episodes ago.) but her main life is being a baker. (Along with a part-time job at a burger joint.) She has worked the job of baker for most of her life.  In the end, her cutie mark doesn't enslave her and she can easily branch out.

One of those two (Mainly Rarity.) could have come in and set Rumble straight, but I guess he would have an easier time listening to his brother instead, who can cook.  What Thunderlane said is also bringing up an interesting idea in my head for a story.  Hopefully, this one will actually pan through.

The only other thing to really talk about is the song that Rumble started.  It's kind of good and catchy.  It's got a bit of a jazz tune to it.  It's actually fun to listen to.

Well, that's everything I wanted to talk about, and I found the episode to be good.  It was actually quite enjoyable in the end.

Next week, Princess Twilight goes on a family vacation.

See ya later! :wave

Twilight is invited to join her family on an airship cruise when her parents are offered a free trip for unknown reasons. (I'd like to point out that, since we know by now quite a bit of what the rest of the main ponies' families are like, it's nice that we finally got to learn a few things about Twilight's parents. Her father is quite fond of bingo, and her mother is a bit of a daredevil thrill-seeker.)

However, it's not long before it becomes obvious that most of the other passengers are there only because they were told princesses Twilight and Cadance (and Flurry Heart) would be there. Twilight eventually decides to confront the captain and it turns out to be Iron Will (from the Season 2 episode "Putting your Hoof Down"), who has decided to change careers after his assertiveness lessons ran their course. Even worse, Twilight's parents hadn't bothered to read the fine print when they signed the agreement for the cruise, which explained that the cruise would be a "princess experience".

Rather than turn around and end the cruise right away, Twilight makes a deal with Iron Will to do what she can to appease the passengers while also allowing her family to have the vacation they were hoping for. But as the day goes on, things for Twilight become increasingly problematic, and it eventually reaches a breaking point when she ends up missing a certain celestial event she had been really hoping to see.

Cadance has a little talk with Twilight and helps her understand that, as good as it is that she didn't want to disappoint anyone, there comes a point where she has to draw a line and not let things become too much to handle. Twilight offers apologies to the passengers, and when they end up questioning Iron Will, he admits the fine print made no guarantees for the "princess experience", and with the passengers quickly turning against him, he decides to literally jump ship while he declares "No refunds!". Kinda makes you wonder if he's got something in common with the Flim Flam brothers. (I gotta admit, once the jig was up, Iron Will sure made one heck of an exit.)

In addition, it appears that all four remaining episodes of this season have been leaked. With circumstances lining up in my favor today, I was able to have enough time to watch them all. (As I've done before with leaked episodes, I've watched them only once so I won't have to worry about spoilers, but I will still wait until after they officially air before I watch them a few more times as I usually do with regular episodes. Not to mention, I will also wait until after the official air date before I post my reviews on them, as I barely had enough time this evening just for today's regular episode.)

~REVIEW POST~

So, at the end of my review I shall make my announcement.  For now, spoilers below!

Wow!  This episode sure had some surprises.  First, we get to spend time with Twilight's Family (Save for Spike who was dead set on making sure Twilight got the vacation she SO needed.) and get to know what they're really like.  Night Light is a laid-back stallion that loves to play Bingo.  Shining Armor sadly gets airsick. (Though entertaining, I felt sorry for the guy.) However, the very welcome one was Twilight Velvet, who is a daredevil thrill-seeker.  Probably a new favorite of mine now.

However, the real surprise comes when it becomes obvious that this was a cruise filled with fans of Princess Twilight and Cadence.  We get to see who the captain is.  Anyone who knew the voice of the announcer knew right away who it was, but they could just be using the same voice. (It happens.) It turns out to be Iron Will.  It's been a long time, but here he is!

Turns out, Iron Will gave Twilight's Parents the free cruise and Twilight Velvet didn't read the contract that she had signed, which states that it would be a "princess experience".  This doesn't go well with the family, but Iron Will guilt trips Twilight into letting the cruise continue and go along with it.

Things don't go well for Twilight.  She is forced to spend the day with a nerdy guy who won the raffle prize.  She has to do the numbers for the Bingo Game.  She has to manage the boat race. (Which her mother won.) She has to do a Q&A, which makes her miss a barrel ride with her mother.  Finally, she has to sign autographs.  The last one takes so long that she only gets to see the end of a celestial event she really wanted to see.  Cue the fandom hating Iron Will because Twilight cries.

Twilight breaks down!  She lets her anger out and even injures the guy she's forced to spend the day with.  Twilight's mom and dad take him to their room to get fixed up while Cadence has a talk with Twilight.  Basically, Cadence tells Twilight that, while it was good that Twilight didn't want to upset everypony, a princess needs to know when to draw the line.  She even hints to Twilight that thanks to having a family of her own, it got easier to understand where to draw the line.

So, Twilight decides to make up for it.  She starts off with apologizing to the one she injured, whom is quick to forgive her.  She then has a talk with the passengers about the situation and they take her side and confront Iron Will about the issue.  He then defends himself by saying that the contract said that there were no guarantees.  The passengers turn on him and Iron Will literally jumps off the ship declaring that there are no refunds before opening his chute.  We probably won't see him again for a while.  The day ends with a few members of the family dressing up as stars to cheer up Twilight.

A good episode and one I would see again.

Now, I have plans to see the movie tomorrow.  If things go well, you can expect a review of said movie afterward.

Next week, Rainbow and Pinkie shenagigans!

See ya later! :wave

I won't be able to get to reviewing the movie until some other point later this week.  I could squeeze it in tonight, but I'm not making any promises.

In the meantime, I'd just like to say this.  I know that people say "haters are gonna hate" and all, but in a case like this, I wish they would just leave us alone.  Case in point, 58% on Rotten Tomatoes, and I feel that to be too harsh for a movie I obviously enjoyed.

Yeah, you can see why I'm kind of upset at this.

Well since no one's mentioned it yet, I'll give you my opinions of the movie   ***Spoiler FREE***.  The animation wasn't great (it lacked the same feeling and the characters seemed to have no emotion), and the story was badly laid out.  We don't even find out about the motivation for the main antagonist until near the end...like it was an afterthought or something (and it was a stupid motivation to boot - and I thought Starlight Glimmer's motivation for enslaving the village was bad).  The characters just weren't believable as they never prescribed any real motivations behind their actions.  Overall it was a very shallow film, not worthy of the MLP name.  

But honestly, this is like pretty much ALL movies I've seen in recent years.  Characters just have sex for no reason (I'm talking about OTHER movies right now, NOT the MLP movie!) when they don't even know each other, they throw some transgender or lesbian/gay person in for no real reason, and the directors don't do anything to make you actually CARE or even give two shits about the characters.  There's no CONNECTION there, and that's what was missing with the MLP movie too.  If I hadn't known the mane6 from the TV series and this was my first exposure to MLP, I probably never would have become a brony because they did nothing to connect me to the characters.  Which is fine I guess for the mane6 because we already know them, but I couldn't care less about any of the other characters.  I can't even remember their names.  I only remember Tempest because she looked badass in the movie trailers and I thought I'd really like her character, but like all the new characters they didn't do anything to make me actually CARE about her.

The bar has been set pretty darned LOW in movies in the past few years. It seems all you have to do to make a fortune nowadays is make a bunch of explosions and push the latest PC bullshit and people eat it up like mindless sheep.  I miss GOOD stories, with BELIEVABLE characters that they actually made you CARE about.  Not the crap I've seen lately (the new Star Wars movie, the Abrams BS "Star Trek" movies, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (I think it had something to do with Harry Potter but the film was so bad I don't remember anything about it), and now this steaming pile of a MLP movie.  I've seen a few other movies in theaters, but they were so bad I can't even remember their names.  I'd seriously rather watch one of those weird black and white movies from the 1930's than another one of those steaming piles.  Granted, the MLP movie is the best movie I've seen in a long time, but that's not saying much.

In conclusion, I give it a 4/10.  And that's because I'm biased and love ponies so much.  If it hadn't been about ponies it would be a 1/10 or 2/10 because they did absolutely NOTHING to make you care about ANY of the characters.

Pinkie makes a special pie to give to Rainbow Dash for her 73rd Wonderbotls training session (because Pinkie was too impatient to wait for the 100th). But after Rainbow takes it with her, it's not long before Pinkie sees that pie in a trashcan. This becomes the catalyst that makes Pinkie uncover a long-running trend where she has never seen Rainbow Dash actually eat any of her pies, and said pies always seem to end up just about anywhere else.

Pinkie comes to the conclusion that Rainbow doesn't like any of her pies, and decides the solution is to practically force her to eat them while watching very closely. After a series of crazy attempts, Pinkie only ends up further convinced of her suspicions and ultimately lashes out at Rainbow and then refuses to hear another word from her.

Although Rainbow admits to her friends that she had been getting rid of all those pies, she just simply doesn't like pie in general (so it's nothing to do with Pinkie's baking), and only faked eating them to avoid hurting Pinkie's feelings (which is exactly what just happened). Rainbow decides the only way to make it up to Pinkie is to have Pinkie watch her try to eat a giant pie that pretty much looks like it's made of garbage. Of course, Pinkie stops her from attempting such a disgusting thing, and after a little talk, she realizes that, as much as Rainbow hates pie, she does appreciate the hard work Pinkie puts into making them. With the full truth now out, they agree to be more honest with each other from now on.

Before I saw this episode, I had assumed that Rainbow Dash throwing away a pie given to her by Pinkie Pie would've been just a simple misunderstanding on Pinkie's part. Partway through the episode, as we saw Rainbow truly has been throwing away pies for some time, I had assumed that she was simply overwhelmed by all those pies and simply couldn't take it any longer. But then we found out that Rainbow really doesn't like pie at all, and was simply reluctant to admit the truth to Pinkie.

~REVIEW EPISODE POST~

Okay, a little extra something has popped up that I need to talk about.  So, after I'm done with my two reviews, I will talk about the extra subject in question.  For now, my thoughts on Secrets and Pies.  Spoilers below.

I'm just going to come out and say that this isn't a bad episode at all.  I can see how it could possibly rub you the wrong way, but I feel it was actually well done.  This is an episode that focuses highly on comedy, has a simple premise and a good lesson.  Many saw it as an episode that would follow in the guidelines of Seasons 1 and 2.

The idea is simple.  Pinkie loves making pies.  She makes one for Rainbow's 73rd training session. (She wanted to wait until her 100th, but was too impatient.) After Rainbow seemingly tries it, she takes it with her and Pinkie about to be on her merry way.  However, the janitor is passing by with a trash can and Pinkie suddenly spots her pie on top of all that garbage.  After going through a contamination as to whether or not that was her pie in the trash, Pinkie starts an investigation to find out if Rainbow had been eating her pies.  She had never seen her Rainbow eat her pies and Rainbow often got rid of them in other ways. (Having a whole classroom of kids eat them, giving it to another pony, "sharing" it with the Wonderbolts, (Rainbow's never seen in having any herself.) having Tank eat it. (Which got the poor tortoise sick.)) Pinkie comes to a horrifying to her conclusion.  Rainbow hates her pies.

Pinkie tries to deny this.  It's just that no one has seen Rainbow eat a pie.  So, to put her mind at ease, Pinkie attempts to make Rainbow eat a pie and see it happen.  She goes to great lengths to pull this off.  She even gives everyone else in Ponyville a pie and attempts to literally keep her eyes open to see Rainbow eat a pie in front of everyone.  She actually attempts not to blink, but the strain becomes too much and Pinkie has to blink.  Rainbow takes that small opportune moment to tie it to a balloon and make it go flying away.

Having enough of Rainbow's antics, Pinkie explodes.  She knows full well that, despite not seeing it, Rainbow never once ate one of her pies.  Rainbow tries to continue the ruse, but her case isn't helped by the fact that the pie in question falls onto Pinkie.  Seeing the truth, Pinkie runs off, refusing to hear Rainbow Dash out.

Rainbow admits to Twilight and Applejack that she doesn't like pie in general.  It was really nothing against Pinkie.  Rainbow only did what she did so she wouldn't hurt Pinkie's feelings.  Rainbow decides to make it up to her.  Rainbow appears in front of Sugar Cube Corner with a giant pie made of garbage and tells Pinkie that she is going to eat it right in front of her.  However, Pinkie stops Rainbow from doing so and they talk it out.  Rainbow may not like pie in general, but she admires all of the hard work Pinkie puts into making them.  She may be the odd one out, but she won't disrespect Pinkie's work like that again.  They promise to be honest with one another from now on.

A simple story that was well done and full of enjoyable comedy.

Next week, Starlight and Trixie go to The Crystal Empire.

However, next post will be for the movie.

See ya later! :wave

So, after all this time, how do I feel about the movie?  Well, I did enjoy it, but there are problems.  Spoilers below.

I found this one good.  However, let me get the bad out of the way first so I get to the good.

The pacing wasn't that great.  It could be argued that this was an extended episode with a bigger budget.  It really didn't feel like a movie in that regard.

Twilight is pretty much the bad guy here.  She ends up using her friends to try and save Equestria, only for it to horribly backfire.  On top of that, she ends up being wrong and right about some things.  Plus, make her feel bad all around.

Tempest was actually turning out great.  A very serious pony who was dangerous and clever.  However, we then get her backstory.  She was playing with some friends when their ball goes into the Everfree Forest.  Tempest goes after it and runs into an Ursa Minor, which attacks her, giving her a scar and destroying her horn.  She tries to play with her friends, but her magic is now dangerous and her friends abandon her.  The backstory has shades of Starlight's.  It seems they wanted to try and do it right, but ultimately failed in the end.

Storm King, however, was worse.  Okay, how did this guy become the head of an evil army again?  He wants the magic of all four princesses and promised to use said magic to fix Tempest's horn.  However, once he has it, he's like a kid on Christmas morning.  Just playing around and not using it responsibly.  Finally, surprise, surprise, he breaks his promise to Tempest.  Only thing that saved him was how he went out, which I'll talk about in the good.

So now the good.  Unlike a certain someone here, I liked the animation.  The animation definitely screams bigger budget, but I sadly think that's where most of the budget went.

Twilight's friends are better than Twilight is in this movie.  They just be themselves and get help in plenty of ways.  Twilight really should have trusted them more because she's the reason everything backfires.

The songs were good.  All of them well made and a joy to hear.  I really can't pick one bad song out of the bunch.

Okay, so they actually killed someone in this.  The Storm King is literally killed.  He gets turned into stone and falls to his doom, shattering into pieces upon landing.  This was shocking to see.  In a series that promotes love, friendship, good lessons and peace, this is the last thing you expect.  We've had villains be defeated in other non-violent ways.  We've had spell removal, turning to stone, sent hundreds of miles away, banished and sent straight to Tartus.  NEVER have we had someone killed before.  The scene was good and it was the best way to get rid of a character I didn't like.

The final good part.  Turns out, Tempest Shadow isn't her real name.  It's actually Fizzlepop Berry Twist.  A name I can't help but love.  She's going to be quite interesting for the fandom.

So yeah, it's a good movie, but it has it's problems.

Okay, time for the next thing that I feel is important to talk about.

So, this appeared a few days ago on EqD.

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/10/scoo...nfirmed-by.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/10/scootaloos-lesbian-aunt-confirmed-by.html)

Yep!  Scootaloo lives with her aunts, who are lesbians.

I have nothing wrong about this, but I am not happy with how the fandom has handled it.  It's complete chaos in the comment section.

Maybe it will appear in the show, but if the fandom is reacting worse than babies about it, I don't think we deserve it.

Big news for Equestria Girls:

Starting November 17 and continuing every Friday onward, there will be a new episode of Equestria Girls on YouTube for a total of 45 episodes. So it looks like once the rest of the summer shorts become officially available, we will almost immediately continue with more Equestria Girls and apparently will continue every week until at least September next year. That's a lot of new content, and I'm definitely looking forward to it.

(spoilers)
Sunburst comes to visit Ponyville and Starlight Glimmer is very excited to have the chance to spend time with him like they used to when they were younger. However, it's been so long that either Sunburst developed a new interest or Starlight forgot he had that interest, but the first thing he wants to do is visit the town's antique shop. While there, they meet up with Twilight, who says she's usually the only one there, and she and Sunburst get along quite well and have a good time, leaving Starlight feeling left out.

Later, back at the castle, Twilight and Sunburst notice how left out Starlight feels, so they suggest trying something she wants, and it happens to be a board game they used to play when they were younger, featuring dragons, a volcano, and trap doors.

The next morning, in an effort to ensure she'll get to spend time with Sunburst, Starlight wakes him up very early and takes him outside. They first visit the apple orchard, but encounter Trixie, who is always enthusiastic to show off her tricks to new ponies, and it's not long before she and Sunburst start getting along and having a good time, leaving Starlight again feeling left out.

Starlight then decides to show Sunburst the mirror pool (in the process, breaking the barrier that had been in place since the incident with Pinkie Pie back in Season 3). Before they can even consider trying the mirror pool themselves, they hear some digging in a side tunnel and they find Maud Pie, whose home cave turns out to be connected to the same cave system. Sure enough, it's not long before Sunburst starts getting along and having a good time with Maud as well, once again leaving Starlight feeling left out and she decides to just go home.

Back at the castle, Twilight offers advice to Starlight to think of things they like to do, and Starlight gets an idea. When Sunburst meets up with Starlight again, she has developed a new spell that turns the surrounding room into one from their childhood and turns themselves into foals, all for a fully authentic experience of playing their favorite board game like they used to. However, Sunburst thinks that's going too far and refuses to play, so Starlight undoes the spell and sadly walks away.

Sunburst feels bad for Starlight feeling left out, so he talks to all three ponies he had just spent time with for advice on what would make her happy. They decide to surprise her with a life-size version of that board game, with each of them contributing to make it happen: everyone is in dragon costumes for the pieces, a room was cleared out in the castle to provide the board, Maud made the dice, Trixie provided special effects for the volcano, and once Starlight agrees to join, she adds in that final touch of the trap doors.

Finally, as Sunburst leaves town on the train, he opens up the mystery barrel he had purchased at the antique shop and discovers a bunch of old books inside, one of which turns out to be foreshadowing for the upcoming season finale.

Well, that's two weeks in a row that Equestria Daily has failed to mention the Equestria Girls summer shorts being added to Hasbro's YouTube channel. Had to do a lot of digging around before I could finally find this week's addition. If anyone here is a member of Equestria Daily, please let them know that they need to keep track of this. I would really hate to see this trend continue once the new episodes start showing in a few weeks. Anyway, here's the link for this week's summer short:

~REVIEW POST~

Well this was a good episode.  It's too bad the Starlight haters can't agree.  They're so angry with her existence, they don't pay attention to certain key points of the episode.  Anyways, on to my review.  Spoilers below.

This was a fun episode.  Sunburst contributed a lot with this one.  I was first surprised with how much he packed, despite only being in Ponyville for a few days.  He has the mindset of the old Rarity when it comes to packing.

He then got along with Twilight quite well.  To the point where I'm not surprised people shipped it.  Heck, I'm guilty of it and I'm the type that wants real proof before becoming committed.

The board game at hand seems interesting.  Hopefully someone will make a real version of it.  Who would have guessed it would become the catalyst in keeping the friendship between Starlight and Sunburst alive?

Trixie appearing was kind of a surprise.  I'm not a fan of her, but I've come to tolerate her.  She does prove that she needs some practice with her magic tricks, though.

The one I expected the least was Maud.  Sure, she lives near Ponyville now, meaning she'll make appearances more often, but I was still surprised.  What I'm most worried about is how her cave connects to the Mirror Pool.  I'm thinking it'll have future implications.

Of course, with what has come to be expected of Starlight, she tries to use magic to solve all of her problems and it backfires again.  It happens so often, it has become a running gag with her by now.  I mean, making them be in a different room was fine, but making them foals?  Yeah, going a little far.

Finally, there was the big version of their game to make up everything for Starlight.  I kind of liked where they were going with it.

However, we now have the finale hook with the black book.  We'll see what it all means soon.

Next week, the finale.  Hopefully, it'll be good.

Okay, with that done, I need to be real with everyone for the next post.

See ya in a bit!

So, time to be real about something with me and this show.

What this boils down to is that I'm leaving the MLP fandom after the final episode has aired.  It'll also be the last time I'll be contributing to this thread like I have.  Maybe I'll pop in from time to time to express my thoughts on the season, but that's it really.

Fact is, with this thread, it's been difficult for me.  I do plenty as is to get my thoughts for the episodes up and sometimes, I don't feel like talking about an episode when there's nothing that really interested me in the episode as a whole.  On top of that, I usually have a nap before work to the point it's become routine.  If I don't get it in, I can be a little cranky at work.  So, it's kind of important.

With when I take my nap, I have to wake myself up early just to watch the episode.  After that, I get into talking about the episode so much, I don't get my full nap in.

Unless something major happens, I won't be doing next season, period.  It's not worth it anymore and I struggle as is.

As for the fandom, look, I've tolerated a lot with it.  I really have, but I can't take it anymore.  The reaction to Scootaloo's Aunts was my breaking point.  I do not like how the fandom handled it at all.  I'm glad there are those whom supported it and even defended it, but if plans are to make this a reality next season, then I choose not to be around to weather through the storm.  I want to be as far away as possible if and when it happens.

Add on all the tension that the fandom has now and it just hasn't become a fun place anymore.  I've chosen to leave before things get ugly.

Doesn't mean I won't watch the show, though, but I'll do it on my own time from here on out.

I've made my decision and it's not changing.

Well, see ya next week for my final big contribution.

I've never personally been part of the "fandom" so to speak.  People are freaking crazy.  I download the episodes when I can from YayPonies and watch them anywhere between 1 and 3 days after they air.  

To be honest, I couldn't care less what random people on the internet think.  The only place I actually read opinions of MLP is here on GOF (which is mostly your reviews and Chronicler's).  Why?  Because I've gotten to know the members on GOF well.  What do I care about some random commenters on Equestria Daily?  

I highly recommend distancing yourself from the fandom.  I tired to get into the fandom early on, but it was just too offensive and people were far too crazy for my taste.  

I have my own opinions of the show.  Personally, I wish they had continued on like season 1, keeping the universe small and focusing on the mane 6.  Twilight shouldn't have a brother that was never mentioned for 26 episodes.  I don't like Twilight as an alicorn.  I have no love for Starlight.  I don't hate her, but I wish they'd get rid of her.  Send her away to study friendship in some faraway land or something.  Maud is annoying, and so is Trixie.  

The show is nothing like it was when I first got into it.  This is NOT the show that I fell in love with in 2011.  I still watch it, though honestly the only reason I've kept with it is for those rare moments when we see deeper into a main character.  I loved the first episode in season 7 when we saw a different side of Celestia, and seeing Celestia and Luna feuding like sisters was a real treat in episode 10.  But honestly, those are the only episodes in the entire season that got ANY real character development.  Season 7 is the worst season BY FAR with about 1/2 of the episodes being pretty flat.

Honestly, it's been a long decline but ponies are really just a sellout.  It doesn't seem like anyone as Hasbro cares about making decent stories anymore.  We haven't had any episode showing any of the mane 6 growing for a long, long time.  And I'm getting REALLY sick of background characters getting all the main focus.  You could say that since these background characters are getting so much screen time that they're no longer background characters anymore, but just showing some shallow background character doing stuff doesn't really make you get to know them or actually care about them.  I couldn't care less about characters like Ember.  I mean, heck.  I barely have a connection to Spike, and he's been in almost every episode!

Season 1 (and to a lesser extent, season 2) will always have a place in my heart.  But things have been on a downward spiral for so long, I don't know if I really care to watch any more episodes.  The only characters I really care about are the mane 6, and Celestia and Luna.  Cadence has a very consistent character, and I do like how kind she is.  She's probably the only background character I've formed even a small connection with.

I personally prefer some of the more mature and polished fanfics the fandom puts out like Starworks, Seesaw or my personal favorite: Heart of Courage over the show.

My personal favorite genre is the HiE first-contact/worlds in contact scenario.

Those are pretty much my reasons for staying in the fandom.

Post by: The Chronicler on October 26, 2017, 09:30:25 PM
Personally, I just don't see why all this fan drama should be such a big deal. I've read comments on new episodes on Equestria Daily (mostly so I can gain a better understanding of some parts that I might otherwise have never even considered, but that's usually after I've posted my review here), and the worst I've ever reacted was to simply laugh at some ridiculous remark and then move on to the next comment like it's no big deal.

I'll continue to remain part of this fan group for a few reasons. First, I've always had this completionist tendency for all of my favorite shows, meaning that if I find it interesting, I need to watch every episode to ensure I'm not missing out on anything. Second, even though I have my favorites (the Season 5 finale is among my favorites because I'm quite fond of time travel) and those that I don't like much (episodes with a lot of cringe moments tend to be ones I'm not favorable of), I continue to find the show overall to always remain enjoyable. And finally, I've been writing a fanfiction series (LEGO Equestria Girls) for the last few years, and since I can see from the comments that at least some people are always looking forward to more, it encourages me to keep going with it.

I'll continue to do my usual reviews here (or more accurately, summaries within spoilers), especially now that I know some people actually regard them as a source of information. I'll definitely also be doing so for the Equestria Girls weekly online episodes, once they start (though I will admit that I have some reservations regarding the so-called "choose your own adventure" format they'll supposedly have).

To put it simply, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

(spoilers)
Directly following last week's episode, Sunburst shares with the main ponies and the princesses that one of the books he found in that mystery barrel is a journal by Star Swirl the Bearded, containing probably his very last entries before his mysterious disappearance over a thousand years ago. He had teamed up with the five other legendary ponies we've heard about this season (Rockhoof, Mistmane, Flash Magnus, Somnambula, and Meadowbrook) in a group known as the "Pillars of Equestria", each representing a different value (Strength for Rockhoof, Beauty for Mistmane, Bravery for Flash Magnus, Hope for Somnambula, Healing for Meadowbrook, and Sorcery for Star Swirl). Together, they had to defeat the "Pony of Shadows" (formerly a regular unicorn named Stygian who had brought them together, but was cast out for taking their special items and attempting a spell on them, then later sought vengeance by embracing some powerful dark magic) and none of them were ever heard from since then.

After some time researching (and thanks to Starlight being able to understand Star Swirl's sloppy writing), the ponies find an ancient site known as Ponehenge and by bringing the journal there, they witness a projection showing exactly what happened there all those years ago. Twilight does some more research and discovers that what actually happened is that to banish the Pony of Shadows, the Pillars had to pull him with them into limbo. Even more, she figured out how to bring them out, and since time doesn't exist in limbo, they'll come back just as fine as the moment they had left.

To pull it off, they need the special items connected to each of the Pillars. They already have Star Swirl's journal, and thanks to the magic map, Twilight's friends are able to go out and recover the rest of them. Applejack finds Rockhoof's shovel at an archeology site after saving some ponies from a falling boulder. Rarity is given Mistmane's flower after restoring the overgrown garden into a much more beautiful state. Rainbow Dash, with assistance from Spike, recovers Flash Magnus's Shield in the dragon lands, first by Spike beating Garble in lava surfing (as a fan of Bionicle since the very beginning, I was quite excited to see the concept of lava surfing here), and then when Rainbow challenges Garble to a flying race, she tricks him into dropping the shield by claiming that it would slow him down. Pinkie Pie, with assistance from Daring Do, recovers Somnambula's blindfold from the bottom of the green slime pit, draining that pit in the process. Finally, Fluttershy goes back to the swamp to get Meadowbrook's mask from Cattail, but not before using it to move the flashbees' hive to a higher branch so the other creatures can safely go into the water.

Once all of the items are together at Ponehenge, despite Starlight's reluctance, Twilight casts the spell. The six Pillars of Equestria are brought back... but so is the Pony of Shadows. Since Twilight never anticipated that, she didn't even consider a reversal spell, and before Sunburst has a chance to come up with one, the Pony of Shadows destroys Ponehenge to render the banishing spell useless. His attempt to strike down the Pillars are thwarted by Twilight's magic, then with Starlight joining in, and he is forced to flee to an unknown place.

In need of a map, the group of 14 ponies gather at Twilight's castle, and Star Swirl discovers that the castle and the map are linked to the Tree of Harmony, which he and the other Pillars had planted long ago in hopes of of preserving their ability to protect Equestria even in their absence. This means that rather then luring the Pony of Shadows to one particular site, they can bring the Elements of Harmony (and the six ponies who represent them) with them to banish him from any location. They first try to figure out where the Pony of Shadows had gone, but after a lot of searching (because of course we need to see a moment where the ponies lost from the past are confused by how much the world around them has changed), they find no trace of him because after thousands of years of development, there are simply fewer dark places for him to hide.

At the same time, Star Swirl's stubborn pride becomes problematic. He refuses to accept any help from Twilight, and relents only when all of her friends insist on giving her a chance (because after all, they're needed for the banishing spell to work). Twilight's modification to the spell will allow all of the ponies to stay, though the Elements will still be lost in the process. However, Star Swirl is so dismissive that villains will always be villains that Starlight, a former villain herself, finds it offensive and decides to ask the other Pillars what their foe was like back when he was their friend Stygian. Despite Starlight's efforts, Star Swirl remains dismissive of any hope of reforming Stygian, and Twilight (who we all know has idolized Star Swirl since we first heard of him) reluctantly sides with him.

Once everyone is ready, all they need now is to simply find the Pony of Shadows. Suddenly, the map summons all six main ponies to Hollow Shades. Not only do they agree that that is where they will likely find the Pony of Shadows, but they also note that the only other time the map had summoned all six of them was to Starlight's village, which just makes Starlight even more convinced that banishment may not be the solution here.

With the Elements of Harmony with them, the 14 ponies go to their destination and, after falling into a pit, encounter the Pony of Shadows. Working in pairs, the Pillars and the Main ponies open a portal into limbo, but before Twilight can make the final push, she discovers Stygian within the shadowy monster and dives right in to talk to him. He reveals that for all the effort his did to bring the Pillars together, he never received any recognition, and the spell he had attempted wasn't meant to steal any power. And when he was cast out, the shadow monster was the only one who listened to him, thus explaining why he succumbed to darkness. The ponies outside hear all of this and realize all this trouble was due to a simple misunderstanding, and they all work together to pull Stygian out of the shadow beast. Once Stygian is freed, the monster is banished and nothing else follows, not even the Elements of Harmony, since they were used to heal (as intended) rather than banish.

After all of that, they meet with the princesses in Canterlot, and Star Swirl concedes that his pride had clouded his judgement and he gives multiple apologies for his behavior. As for him and the other Pillars (now including Stygian), they decide to travel Equestria for a while to see more of how much it has changed before they decide on where to settle down.

I have to say, I'm definitely counting this episode among my favorites. The original heroes of Equestria, the so-called Pillars, were apparently brought together to stop the threat of the three sirens, who we all know ended up in the Equestria Girls world, so that was a nice call-back (as well as another confirmed connection between the two worlds). The Pillars had been gone for thousands of years and were brought back in the present day, so that covers my fondness of time travel. Of the six Pillars, we had previously heard the voices of only three of them (Mistmane, Flash Magnus, and Medowbrook), and now we got to hear them all (including Rockhoof, Somnambula, and of course Star Swirl (I personally had hoped for something close to Morgan Freeman, but I'll accept what we got)). You may recall in the Season 3 finale that Twilight was able to properly complete Star Swirl's spell because he didn't understand friendship like she did, and his attitude in this episode certainly showed that (at least he ultimately acknowledged where he went wrong and apologized). We also got to see the Elements of Harmony come back and be used in a way we haven't seen since before they were given to the Tree of Harmony back in the season 4 premier, so that was a nice bit of nostalgia right there (though I'm sure they just gave the Elements back to the Tree once they were done using them, at least it's nice to know that this means they aren't necessarily gone for good). And finally, we've got the possibility that we could be seeing the Pillars again in future episodes, so that'll be something to look forward to.

~REVIEW POST~

Well, this is it at last.  It's been quite a journey for me.  I'll be doing a lot less activity on this thread after this.

For this episode, I've chosen to approach it the same way I did the movie when it comes to reviewing it.  So expect that format for it.  Otherwise, it'll practically be a copy-paste of what Chronicler wrote and I don't want to do that for something so special.  So here we go!  Spoilers below!

This season finale was really good.  I'll always consider Season 4's Finale the best, (Despite what certain haters are spouting lies about it.) but boy was this good.

Let's talk about the bad first so we can get to the good.

First up, The Pillars of Equestria.  Most aren't bad, they're just blah!  I understand that we only have a single part to get their personality and we are supposed to "know them" from what we were told, but when you get down to it, they really aren't given a chance to show off who they are as individuals.  Maybe we would have gotten that if this was three parts, but still.

The exception is Starswirl.  He was given time to get a personality.  Even though it is one that fits for what we have been told about him, especially for someone who doesn't understand friendship at all, I just can't like him in the end.  I mean, Twilight really picked an idol there!  Seriously!  I mean, he gives Applejack a run for her money in terms of stubbornness.  Twilight writes up a spell and he doesn't even look at it until her friends pretty much convince him.  We also have the problem of how he treated Stygian.  I could argue all day long of how Starswirl was the real reason Stygian went evil.  I'm glad he got his ego destroyed so maybe he'll be a better character now because of that, but he was not a good one in this episode.  Not at all!

The pacing was too fast for this episode.  They fit a lot in here and everything is resolved so quickly.  It could have definitely benefited from being a three-parter instead.

On top of all that, Pinkie was doing herself no favors with this episode.  Seriously, just listen to some of the stuff she was spouting out.

That was it for the bad.  Let's get to the good.

Twilight wasn't a bad character.  I will defend her forever with this episode.  First off, her releasing the Pillars of Equestria was nothing but good intentions.  On top of that, despite the fact that she unwittingly unleashes The Pony of Shadows, she does all she can to own up to that mistake.  She goes to the effort to create a spell to banish The Pony of Shadows.  Sure, it needs Starswirl's help to be completed, but at least she put in the effort to show she was willing to make up for it.  A bad character isn't someone who makes mistakes, but one who doesn't try to own up to those mistakes.

Second, during the final confrontation with The Pony of Shadows, she tries to save Stygian in the end.  Sure, it takes multiple ponies to pull him out in the end, but she was the first to leap in and get him out of there.

Another good character was The Pony of Shadows.  He had a good backstory.  We really don't know what kind of evil Stygian embraced, but boy was it evil.  An evil I can practically like.  He even had a good voice.  To the one that voiced him, they did a great job.  He wasn't on screen much, but for what we got, he was good.

However, the one that shined the most was Starlight.  Okay, I may not be a fan of Starlight still, but she has come a long way since the end of Season 5.  With her being a redeemed villain, it's no wonder she would be against Starswirl in this episode.  She took the effort to talk to the other Pillars of Equestria to find out what Stygian was like.  Even she understood it was a problem of the pony embracing evil and likely a misunderstanding.  Heck, she was the one who recognized it was a friendship problem and planted that idea in Twilight's head.  She had to jump in to convince Stygian to give up the evil, using herself as an example.  I even like the idea that she was the only one who could read Starswirl's sloppy writing and how she can read it because she's a sloppy writer herself.  Mainly because I'm one too.

Overall, this was pretty good.  A very good way to end this season on.  Definitely one of my favorite Season Finale's of the show.

Well, that's it for me.

See ya later! :wave

Okay, this season finale would have made a MUCH better movie.  It was really good, but unfortunately was much too fast paced.  It needed to be at least a 3 parter, but would have been better stretched over 4 episodes.  We never really got to form a connection with the 6 new ponies.  I'm hoping we see more of them in the future, but this episode just seemed so crammed up with time constraints.  The scene in the dragon kingdom was way too long for such a simple thing they needed to do.  Overall, the movie should have been an episode, and this two part episode should have been the movie.

Looks like Equestria Daily once again failed to mention this week's newly added Equestria Girls summer short to YouTube, so here's the direct link instead:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdJlDU1dKSM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdJlDU1dKSM)

I really hope this trend of forgetfulness doesn't continue once the new episodes start. Especially considering that Discovery Family's streaming service decided to show the first four Equestria Girls episodes ahead of their scheduled release on YouTube:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/11/new-...riesshorts.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/11/new-equestria-girls-mini-seriesshorts.html)

Predictably, someone had uploaded them to Dailymotion and posted links in the comments. Even though I decided to go ahead and watch them, I'll hold off on any reviews until their official release on Hasbro's YouTube channel. But I will say this much: these first four episodes are quite short, each of them are only around 2 minutes long, not counting the intro and credits.

I was really hoping we were finally done with all those leaks and early releases that have be going on virtually all the time over the past year, but I guess that was too much to ask for. Seriously, though, is this madness ever going to stop?

Just one week left to go before these new episodes start making their official appearance on Hasbro's YouTube channel. Anyway, here's this week's addition of the earlier shorts to that channel (a direct link, because once again Equestria Daily didn't even bother to mention it):

There are still two more of the summer shorts that have not yet been added to Hasbro's YouTube channel, and neither of them were added this week. I'm not sure when (or even if) they'll be added, but at least there are other ways of seeing them elsewhere.

Anyway, yesterday was when the first episode of the new Equestria Girls series was made available to watch on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/11/equestria-girls-shorts-trail-and-full.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/11/equestria-girls-shorts-trail-and-full.html)
Might as well post a direct link as well:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEAXo2sxqTI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEAXo2sxqTI)

Even though you can easily go ahead and watch it in the link above, I'm still going to post my review in spoiler text (and will do the same for every episode each week).
(spoilers)
In this two-minute episode, it's release day for the new video game "Tirek's Revenge" (the sequel to "Rise of Tirek") and Sunset Shimmer is very excited to get a copy. Unfortunately, the line in front of the store is unbelievably long, and Sunset finds herself at the very end of it.

After waiting for a few hours and feeling completely bored, Sunset is pleased when Rainbow Dash shows up and, understanding how much longer they still have to wait, decides to bring the rest of their friends together so they can have fun and enjoy each other's company while they continue waiting in line.

When it's finally Sunset's turn, the final copy in stock had just been sold. Fortunately, Pinkie Pie had thought ahead and pre-ordered a copy for Sunset months earlier (and the only reason she didn't give it to her earlier is because she simply had no idea what they were waiting in line for until that very moment). Finally, when Sunset mentions that the game has a multiplayer feature, she and her friends are all very excited to try it out.

Even though this is apparently supposed to be the first episode, I've already seen all the other few that released early, so at least there's some others I can compare it to. I would consider this one among my favorites, because we found out that Sunset has quite the interest in video games, and that the counterpart of Tirek (the big villain from the Season 4 finale) in the Equestria Girls world is apparently the ultimate boss of a video game series. Sure does make me curious about what playing that game might be like.

This week's Equestria Girls episode.

A group of students are on a field trip to the city's natural history museum and have arrived at the geology section, where Maud Pie works as a tour guide (as Pinkie's older sister, it seems she's old enough that she may have already graduated). Rather predictably, Maud's monotone voice makes the experience very boring for most of the students, not even her use of rock puns for humor gets any excitement.

Thankfully, Pinkie, Twilight, and Rarity had made plans prior with Maud to make things more exciting. When Maud gets to the part about crystals, Rarity uses her magic to send some diamonds floating around and tosses them in the volcano mock-up, then Pinkie uses her magic to drop a bucketful of sprinkles into the volcano mock-up to give off the illusion of an eruption. Then when Maud moves on to talking about fossils, Twilight uses her magic to make two dinosaur skeletons move around like animatronics. By this point all of the students are very excited by what they've witnessed, with one young student even claiming to be a fan of Maud and asks to get her book autographed. Pinkie is very pleased to see Maud so excited, but considering that this is Maud, that's obviously virtually impossible for us to notice, but at least Rarity and Twilight say nothing about that.

Really, all I can say about this one is that if Maud Pie happens to be one of your favorite characters, then this episode is for you.

Three weeks in and already Equestria Daily is failing to report on the official release of one of these episodes. A little frustrating, but at least I can still provide the direct link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1dlU7vEQE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX1dlU7vEQE)

(spoilers)
It's picture day for all the school clubs as Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity meet each other in the hallway. Applejack has brought a pig for her photo with the Junior Farmers club, but then Rainbow Dash practically brags about being in five different clubs, and despite Rarity trying to persuade them otherwise, Applejack and Rainbow Dash quickly get competitive about being in the most clubs.

Much of the episode becomes a montage of Rainbow Dash and Applejack trying to appear in as many club photos as possible, some helpful, some causing problems, and some just outright photo-bombing. At the end of the day, the result is a tie between the two, even though they've covered every single club in the school. Well, all except for Rarity's club, which she claims to be "very exclusive", with the only other member being none other than Applejack's pig.

I have to say, of all these Equestria Girls episodes I've seen so far (including the early releases), this one is probably my least favorite. I know that Rainbow Dash and Applejack can get competitive at times, but practically photo-bombing every club in the school is going a little too far, in my opinion. I suppose I would be more satisfied if they had to face some real consequences for being so disruptive to everyone for such a selfish reason, but that's just what I think.

Looks like there might have been enough popular demand that Equestria Daily will be reporting the official YouTube releases of the Equestria Girls episodes, but we'll just have to see if they will actually commit to that. Anyway, here's the page announcing this week's episode...
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/equestria-girls-short-pinkie-sitting.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/equestria-girls-short-pinkie-sitting.html)

Rarity is invited to some gala that she refuses to miss, but it's so last minute that she needs someone else to cover the babysitting duty she had already promised, so she goes to Pinkie Pie, who excitedly accepts. Pinkie is naturally very eager to do some fun activities, but the child (a girl named Lily Pad) would much rather spend time reading a book on her tablet, and it's not long before Pinkie starts feeling very bored.

Pinkie decides to add some excitement by first asking Lily what she's reading (a story about some girl pirates landing on an island and meeting all kinds of animals) and then dressing up and acting it out. Pinkie quickly exhausts herself and asks Lily to simply read the story to her. Later, once Lily finishes the story, Pinkie remarks that Lily would one day be a great babysitter and falls asleep.

I found it rather amusing how there seemed to be a kind of role reversal between the babysitter and the child. Although I'm pretty sure Lily Pad will probably be just a one-off character, I quite liked seeing her there. (Considering that all the foal characters we know in Equestria are young high school students in the Equestria Girls world, I welcome the introduction of actual child characters.)

This episode consists almost entirely of a song, so I'm sure this won't be the only such musical episode in this series.

Final exams are coming up, so Twilight proudly decides to help her friends study. At first, her efforts get hardly anywhere, but when she notices one of Rarity's papers showing calculations for the price of a dress, she decides to change tactics and help her friends study in their own unique ways (much like what we saw in the pony series episode "Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3"). For example, Rainbow Dash is able to study while running on the track, Fluttershy receives help from her animals, and Pinkie Pie utilizes balloons to help her study.

In the end, once everyone takes their exams, all that unique studying pays off and they all pass with high grades (a slight variety, but still A's for all seven girls).

Post by: The Chronicler on December 17, 2017, 10:50:43 PM
Well, good news and bad news to report of recent surprises.

The bad news, there's been a ton of leaks, including some Season 8 episodes, despite the fact that they are essentially incomplete.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/spoiler-warning-episodes-and-animatics.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/spoiler-warning-episodes-and-animatics.html)
Just when I was hoping we had already seen the worst, the leaks just had to escalate even further the following year. :bang  The fact that these leaked episodes supposedly aren't even fully completed yet means that I'll have absolutely no interest in looking for them. I'd rather wait for the official release to get the full experience, even if it means I end up failing to avoid some spoilers for the next few months.

The good news, there's a new Equestria Girls episode, and it's not one of the 11 that were released early, so this one is completely new for all of us.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/choose-your-own-adventure-equestria.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/choose-your-own-adventure-equestria.html)
Apparently, this is the first of the "choose your own adventure" type of episodes, where you have one video to start the episode, and then three more videos for different possible endings (since the credits are exactly identical in all three endings, it really is like a 3-in-1 episode). To be honest, I wasn't sure about this format when I first heard about it, but since it looks like this will apply to only to a few episodes, and continuity seems to be becoming less strict in the series by this point, I think I find this to be an okay addition to the series.

I won't post direct links to the videos, since all four of them are available in that one page I've just linked.

(spoilers)
At a video session where students make weather-like forecasts, Rarity's "trend forecast" is troubled when she suddenly realizes she forgot to pack her bag, but since she's already on camera, she can't leave and she can't hesitate for too long, so she's forced to improvise on the spot by taking inspiration from one of her three friends in the room: Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, or Pinkie Pie.

Choose Twilight - The next day, everyone is suddenly wearing the same type of glasses as Twilight, and making attempts to sound smart, which of course leaves her a little unnerved. She even struggles to get a new science book that, let's face it, most people would rather not even bother with. Thankfully, Rarity brings an end to the nerd trend by immediately starting a new trend: capes.

Choose Rainbow - The next day, virtually every student has dyed their hair rainbow, and as Rarity struggles to find the real Rainbow Dash, Rarity starts to freak out, including an inner monologue like what you'd expect to hear in the Twilight Zone (spoofed here as "Rainbow Zone"). By the time she does find the real Rainbow Dash (who remarks how awesome everyone looks), Rarity has already lost much of her sanity.

Choose Pinkie - Pinkie Pie becomes so enthusiastic that the next day, everyone finds confetti flying out of their lockers. Knowing that such a huge mess will get them in trouble, Rarity, Twilight, and Applejack (with help from their magic powers) clean up all the confetti, much to Pinkie's disappointment. As Principal Celestia walks by, she thanks the girls for cleaning up and warns Pinkie to go easy on the confetti. However, once she opens the door to her office, the hallway is literally flooded with confetti, so detention is now practically guaranteed for the girls.

Well, looks like that episode was released too early after all, because now all four parts of it have been taken down. Look's we'll have to wait until probably February for the official release. At least from what I saw, it was a fully complete episode (unlike the other leaked content), and has helped me to be more okay with future episodes of this type, so I'll be looking forward to what else we'll see later.

Of course, I'm still sticking with my decision to not look for any of the leaked content I previously mentioned. Like I said, much of it is incomplete work, and it looks like the reason for that is because someone literally hacked Hasbro! That makes the release of this content a criminal act, and based on a vast majority of the comments I've seen on this page (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/editorial-human-costs-of-art-theft.html), it looks like almost every agrees that this should be frowned upon. Let's just hope this won't ruin the upcoming episodes too much.

Well that didn't last long. Once again, Equestria Daily has failed to mention this week's Equestria Girls short, so here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXv1ttGN2Hk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXv1ttGN2Hk)

(spoilers)
Sunset Shimmer is struggling to make it through the day because she's somehow now able to hear the thoughts of everyone around her, even though she's not even close to touching any of them, and not even wearing earmuffs can stop it. When she meets with her friends, her now overcharged power makes her suddenly witness how the others have also been dealing with their own powers being overcharged: Fluttershy is followed everywhere by lots of animals, Twilight sends her bike flying while she's riding it (resulting in an E.T. reference), Applejack rips off her locker door with barely any effort, and Pinkie was unexpectedly able to make an apple explode just by simply tossing it up.

The last to arrive is Rainbow Dash, who has been excitedly using her super speed power for just about anything. By that point, everyone's geodes start to glow, and Twilight comes up with a theory on why their powers have gone out of control. Basically, everyone's geodes are connected, so if one of them used their powers excessively (Rainbow Dash in this case), then it would affect the other geodes, and the glowing serves as a kind of warning system. The girls agree that they should use their powers in moderation to avoid any more incidents like what they had just been through.

Rainbow is soon temped to use her super speed power once again when Zephyr Breeze suddenly shows up, but a reminder from her friends forces her to walk around him (and his creepy attempts to hit on her) the traditional way, much to her disgust. The other girls can't help but laugh at that incident, except Fluttershy who simply facepalms in shame at her brother's behavior. The next day, things are back to normal and Sunset is able to remove her earmuffs.

I have to say, I find this one very interesting for showing that there's actually a consequence if the Main 7 use their magic powers too frequently. It's quite an interesting way to make sure they aren't abusing their powers. Oh, and we got to see human Zephyr Breeze for the first time, and he sure seems just as obnoxious as his pony counterpart.

Looks like Discovery Family just released some more new Equestria Girls episodes on their streaming service.

Unlike the first 11 episodes (only about two minutes each) that were released back in early November, these 5 episodes are among the so-called "choose your own adventure" type of episodes (though curiously, the one that released early is not among these five, so I guess this might mean we'll soon see a few more of them become available). As before, I won't share my thoughts on any of them until they've been officially made available on Hasbro's YouTube channel (and besides, I currently don't have the time to go look for any alternate links to watch them).

In addition, we just got confirmation that Equestria Girls will also have two 44-minute specials coming out at some point later on next year.

Once again, another short has been added to Hasbro's YouTube channel.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/star-crossed-twilight-sparkle-eg-short.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/star-crossed-twilight-sparkle-eg-short.html)
And the direct link (though apparently, the audio is a little messed up, but at least everything is still understandable):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjNca4e9VeM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjNca4e9VeM)

(spoilers)
Twilight has everything planned to "hang out" with Timber Spruce at the science museum and planetarium, and before she goes, Fluttershy offers her a jar full of bugs "just in case".

Once Twilight and Timber meet up, just about everything that could go wrong does go wrong. An awkward introduction, they can't find the exhibit they were interested in, the planetarium has canceled all shows, cloudy skies means no way to look at the stars, and they even burn their tongues on hot cocoa. However, despite all of that, they eventually admit that simply being with each other was enough for them to have a good time. Timber confesses he did some research on the constellations in preparation for that night, and the jar of bugs that Fluttershy gave to Twilight turn out to be fireflies, giving them a nice alternative to watching the stars.

This was a rather interesting way to show that (human) Twilight and Timber are still a thing. It was also rather amusing how, quite literally, everything that Twilight had planned went totally awry, even the hot cocoa. But I think the most interesting part of this episode was that we briefly saw a statue at the museum of Starswirl the Bearded (so at least that give us a rather basic idea of what his human counterpart looks like). Considering that we only recently got to finally meet the pony Starswirl, it does make me curious what his human counterpart might be like. (I've read a lot of comments comparing him to Galileo.)
(end spoilers)

Also, the Discovery Family streaming service just released five more of the "choose your own adventure" Equestria Girls episodes (including the one that was briefly available on YouTube last week).

I haven't yet gotten a chance to watch any of them yet (as you could probably tell based on how I'm making this post so much later than I normally have), but as with all the other early releases, I'll watch them once, but wait until their official release on YouTube before I comment on them.

Principal Celestia asks Twilight to take care of her garden and greenhouse while she's away, and Twilight is very excited for the opportunity. However, neither of them notice another piece of Equestrian magic lands into the watering can Twilight had brought with her. After Celestia leaves, Twilight sings a little song as she begins watering the plants. Much to her amazement, the magical water causes the plants to rapidly grow and they even start singing along, but eventually the plants start getting more demanding for more of that magical water. Now getting a little desperate, Twilight texts Applejack to help out immediately. Once Applejack arrives, she quickly realizes that Twilight's watering can has Equestrian magic in it. With the now giant plants getting very demanding, Applejack tries turning on the greenhouse's sprinkler system, and all that ordinary water immediately causes all of the plants to return to normal. Just as the issue is resolved, Celestia suddenly returns to remind Twilight to not "overwater the plants", completely unaware of what had just happened.

Considering these episodes are only around two minutes long, the song pretty much takes up most of the episode. It's not exactly one I'd consider among my favorites, but it was nice to see that the issue of Equestrian magic leaking into this world (previously seen in the 22-minute episode Mirror Magic) is still ongoing.

Okay, quite a bit of news this week.

First, some more leaks from those infamous hacks have come out, so be careful when searching for other things.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/heads-up-another-massive-round-of.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/heads-up-another-massive-round-of.html)

Also, one of the 44-minute Equestria Girls specials will premier on February 17, just over a month from now:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/new-1-hour-equestria-girls-special.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/new-1-hour-equestria-girls-special.html)
And a preview video came out just today:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/forgotten-friendship-promo-appears-on.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/forgotten-friendship-promo-appears-on.html)
This looks like it'll be very interesting to see, so I'll definitely be sure to watch it.

Finally, there's this week's newly added Equestria Girls short on YouTube:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/fluttershys-little-birdie-equestria.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/fluttershys-little-birdie-equestria.html)
And the direct link (thankfully, no audio issues this time):

In a math class, the teacher (Mr. Cranky Doodle) assigns a quiz to the students. Fluttershy is seated next to an open window, so when a bird flies in and starts talking to her, she tries telling him to wait until after the quiz, but two more birds fly in and all three try telling her something. When Fluttershy makes a remark about "dividing by 4" while working on her quiz, Trixie seated behind immediately accuses Fluttershy of cheating.

Fluttershy completely denies the accusation, claiming that the birds were simply having a dispute over who should get which sticks for their nests. When Trixie refuses to believe her and challenges her to prove that she really did study for the quiz, Fluttershy boldly accepts the challenge and walks up to the chalkboard. Cranky Doodle picks out a question from the textbook and, with the whole class watching, Fluttershy solves the whole thing and Cranky Doodle confirms that she got it correct. Later on, Trixie attempts to ask those birds to be her math tutor, despite the fact that Fluttershy had pointed out they don't know any math, and not to mention that she simply can't speak with them like Fluttershy can.

If you enjoy seeing moments where Fluttershy behaves very boldly, then this episode is one you'll definitely want to see. Not only does she very firmly stand up to Trixie's accusation, but after she marches up to the chalkboard and grabs a piece of chalk, she asks for a question to solve herself by boldly saying, "Make my day." (I have a feeling that's probably a reference to something, but I have no idea what it could be.) And then there's Trixie completely failing to understand that there was absolutely no connection between the math quiz and why Fluttershy spoke with those birds. At least the fact that everyone is already aware that Fluttershy can talk to animals meant that Trixie's accusation didn't sound completely absurd and thus made it worth having Fluttershy prove that she really did study for the quiz.

This week's newly added Equestria Girls short to YouTube (Equestria Daily may be a day late with reporting it, but at least they actually remembered to do so):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/equestria-girls-short-display-of.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/01/equestria-girls-short-display-of.html)

Rarity is very pleased when Prim Hemline (the owner of the boutique she works at) finally states that one Rarity's latest designs as at least "decent". For such good effort, Prim gives Rarity the opportunity to design something for the window display the very next day, with emphasis on "don't mess up". Despite her initial confidence, Rarity soon confesses to Sunset that the pressure is simply too great for her to handle, and as they discuss creativity, they come across the latest work of local graffiti artist known only as "Fanksy", which gives Rarity some inspiration. However, when Sunset checks on her later, while the dresses are fine, the background artwork is... awful, to say the least, and Rarity ultimately gives up and goes home in tears after seemingly failing her task. But when she returns the next morning, she is astonished to see her window display backgrounds have been repainted in the exact style of Flanksy, and Prim approves Rarity's effort. The episode ends with Rarity seeing Sunset in an alleyway wearing a jacket and hat and with a bit of paint on her face, implying that Sunset is "Flanksy".

To me, this was a rather modest episode, but at least we got to learn about a few interesting things. As I mentioned above, Prim Hemline (whose pony counterpart we've seen only once back in the season 4 episode "Rarity Takes Manehattan") is the owner of that boutique Rarity works at, which makes sense when you understand that Rarity is only a teenager in this world. In addition, it seems we can now add graffiti artist to the growing list of talents and interests of Sunset Shimmer.

And this was one in particular that I was hoping Equestria Daily wouldn't forget to mention, but I guess that perfect reliability is simply too much to ask for. Anyway, here's the direct link for this week's Equestria Girls short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEBSTmhrwio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEBSTmhrwio)

With comic book stylization, we see the seven girls about to spend a day in downtown Canterlot City, but when they see a robber run from a jewelry story with some loot, they decide to take action superhero style (complete with the costumes they had been magically given back when had saved Camp Everfree). They all use their magical powers throughout the pursuit: Rainbow Dash uses her super speed to try to cut off the robber, Applejack uses her super strength to try throwing a bench at the fleeing robber, Twilight Sparkle uses her telekinesis to save a little boy from falling into a fountain, Pinkie Pie uses her exploding sugar to blow a hole in a bush to find the fleeing robber, Rarity uses her diamond constructs to trap the robber, Fluttershy uses her animal communication to ask some birds to take the stolen loot away from the robber, and Sunset Shimmer uses her mind reading powers to find out that the robber stole those jewels just to impress some girl. With the robber captured and later sent to jail, the girls celebrate with cupcakes. The episode ends with the artist of this comic book adventure revealed to be Sunset Shimmer.

I would consider this to be one of my favorites of these shorts because of the whole comic book super hero vibe going on throughout the whole thing. In addition, it looks like we can now add comic book artist to the growing list of talents of Sunset Shimmer. (It does make one wonder how Sunset was able to learn all of these different talents and become so highly skilled at them.)
(end spoilers)

And that's the last of the first eleven episodes that were released early back in November. I've heard that there's a twelfth short that's supposedly available only exclusively as a bonus with the My Little Pony Movie, so I'm not sure if we'll see that next week or if we'll instead see the first of the "choose your own ending" short episodes (that were released early at the end of last month).

(By the way, I still haven't had the chance to see the My Little Pony Movie. It's been surprisingly difficult to find a video of the entire movie on YouTube or Dailymotion, and since I'd rather not use any conventional methods that would almost certainly cause my family to find out, that puts me in a rather difficult position for now.)

EDIT: Looks like Equestria Daily decided to finally report this week's short after all.

Equestria Daily has once again failed to mention the weekly Equestria Girls shorts, and this time it's for the first of the "choose your own ending" shorts. For these types of shorts, I'll give a direct link to just the starting part, as the three possible endings are available to select during the last ten seconds of the starting video. So, here's the starting part of this week's short (as as the name of these types of episodes implies, you decide which of the three possible endings to watch):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EqqBapvN_s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EqqBapvN_s)

The school play is coming up, and the main 7 have all decided to participate. However, with auditions starting soon, Fluttershy is suffering from stage fright, even though she intends to audition for a very minor role with just one line. When Rainbow Dash and Applejack find her at the library, they offer to help, though they have different ideas on how to help.

Choose Applejack: After spending some time relaxing at a chicken coop, Applejack suggests that Fluttershy should imagine everyone in the audience as a bunch of chickens. Fluttershy is successful with her audition, but confesses that what she actually did to help was imagine everyone as Applejack. Despite the unorthodox alternative, Applejack is glad that it worked... especially since her backup plan involving real chickens was unlikely to work, since they ended up chasing Big Mac all over the place.

Choose Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash takes Fluttershy to a soccer game and gives her the task of announcing the games events. Predictably, Fluttershy is very hesitant and quiet at first, but once she follows Rainbow's advice to "loose yourself in the game", her confidence quickly builds. By the time Fluttershy auditions, she's able to proudly shout her one line out loud.

Choose DJ Pon-3: In the background between Applejack and Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy sees DJ Pon-3. Later, DJ Pon-3 sets up some elaborate special effects at the audition, culminating in Fluttershy appearing on stage through a hologram. While Applejack and Rainbow Dash are left speechless, Rarity remarks on what an impressive entrance that was.

For these types of shorts, I'll include among my final thoughts what my preferred choice was. For this one, I think Applejack was the best choice, as it seemed like the most natural solution, not to mention the use of chickens would help an animal lover like Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash was an okay choice, but a little too much cringe for my tastes. DJ Pon-3 was way out there, almost to the point that I'd consider it a total satire, but I guess we can expect such wild possible endings when there must always be three choices, even if only two realistic ones are offered.

By the way, a few days ago, I decided to try a more focused kind of search on YouTube and was able to find a version of the My Little Pony Movie that I could watch. It was broken into a lot of short parts, but it was all there, so technically speaking, I have now finally been able to watch the entire movie. Even though I'm at least now completely familiar with everything that happens in the movie, I would still like to eventually get a chance to see it all in one go without any interruptions, so for now, I'll just wait and see if anything comes up for me.

Some big news a few days ago. It was officially announced that Season 8 will begin on March 24.

A few images were also included with the official release (you don't have to check out this link if you want to avoid spoilers, but I'm sharing it because these are official releases and not from the leaks).

Also, it was recently revealed that the upcoming Equestria Girls special is actually 50 minutes long, so about six minutes of it will be cut from what will be shown on TV next week, but at least we'll eventually get to see all of it once it becomes available on YouTube (though it may be some time before that happens).

At the end of the school day, while Pinkie Pie talks excitedly about her cupcake experiment during chemistry class (which left her lab partners Snips and Snail a complete mess), Twilight suddenly gets a text from Timber Spruce that consists of nothing but some emojis. Twilight has absolutely no idea what kind of message Timber is trying to tell her, so some of her friends offer to help.

Choose Sunset Shimmer: Meeting in the cafe, Twilight still can't understand the emoji text, so Sunset suggests simply asking him what he meant. Twilight agrees, but isn't sure how to do so, so Sunset takes matters into her own hands by grabbing Twilight's phone and calling Timber. Despite Twilight's protests, Sunset talks to Timber and then tells Twilight that he was asking to hang out at a mini golf course, then hands the phone back to Twilight so she can say yes.

Choose Rarity: Out in front of the school, Rarity boasts about being highly fluent in emoji-speak, so she tells Twilight exactly which emojis to use in her reply. When Timber replies, Twilight still isn't sure what any of it means, so Rarity pretty much takes the phone and texts the responses herself. After a little back-and-forth texting and with Twilight still completely clueless, Rarity eventually explains that Timber is asking to hang out and get some ice cream, so Twilight accepts with an emoji text reply that even she can understand.

Choose Fluttershy: Out walking in the woods, Fluttershy tells Twilight which emojis to use in her reply. After sending the reply, Twilight asks what it means, but Fluttershy admits that it was just a bunch of animal emojis. Twilight is left even more confused and frustrated than before, but when Timber responds by asking if they want to hang out at the zoo, Twilight replies yes, with Fluttershy remarking that cute animals can solve any problem.

For this one, I think Sunset Shimmer was the best choice, because she took the direct and most common sense approach by simply calling Timber to ask precisely what it was he was trying to say. Rarity was an okay choice, but considering that the planned date agreed upon is different from the Sunset ending, I'm sure that there was a bit of "lost in translation" going on here. Fluttershy managed to get an ending that was at least as acceptable as the other two, but since the suggested response was just random animal emojis, it is not the kind of realistic solution I would recommend for an issue like this.

First, we have this week's Equestria Girls short.

Sunset Shimmer has just failed her driving test. She's been given the chance for a retest, but needs more driving experience before then, so she is offered help from Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy.

Choose Fluttershy: Sunset is excited to practice driving in Fluttershy's car. But as soon as they're in, she quickly gets frustrated by how Fluttershy sings a long of rhymes to herself about all kinds save driving tips. Later, as Sunset is ready to take the test, she remembers Fluttershy's rhymes and is able to get through the first few steps before starting the car.

Choose Applejack: With assistance from Granny Smith, Applejack has Sunset practice in the Apple family's old pickup truck. Unfortunately, they barely even make it out of the garage before the truck gets a flat tire. Granny Smith uses this incident as an opportunity to teach her lesson of "be prepared for anything". Naturally, Applejack uses her super strength to lift the truck so Sunset can change the tire, but then Sunset wisely asks what she should do if she has no one to help her. Later, as Sunset is about to take the test, the car turns out to have a flat tire, so Cranky Doodle considers calling the test a failure right there, but then Sunset is able to show that she knows how to change a tire by using an "apple-jack", so she ends up passing the test.

Choose Rarity: Much to Sunset's confusion, Rarity rents a limo, and seems more concerned with tips on a luxurious limo ride rather than actual driving experience. Sunset is able to get a chance to practice driving that limo, though Rarity continues to care more about relaxing rather than driving. Later, as Sunset is taking the test, she flawlessly completes that always difficult task of parallel parking and remarks that she simply had to "stretch" her limits, and Cranky Doodle gives her a pass despite not understanding the joke.

For this one, I think Fluttershy was the best choice, because she had a clever way of memorizing all the important little details that Cranky Doodle acknowledged were very boring, so definitely a lot of good practical advice right there. Applejack was one that I also think was a very good choice because being prepared for unfortunate incidents like a flat tire is also great advice, but the only thing preventing me from calling this one the best choice was that Sunset was given a pass before even taking the rest of the test. Rarity was a completely ridiculous choice, because it seemed like she had absolutely no idea what kind of advice Sunset was really asking for.

And of course, today we had the premier of that one-hour Equestria Girls special.

The Main 7 are making preparations for the school's yearbook. As they're meeting, Trixie barges in and demands a page in the yearbook for being "greatest and most powerfulest", but they reject her, despite her threats for vengeance. Oh, and there's also some shy girl with them called Wallflower who no one ever seems to notice. The Main 7 decide to spend the next day at the beach for some more yearbook photos.

The next day, the girls are doing various beach activities, but when Sunset arrives, all of her friends are strangely acting hostile to her. Sunset eventually uses her mind-reading geode powers and discovers that her friends have literally had their memories erased of any trace of her being their friend. Even Twilight's memories of Sunset have been limited to that one time she yelled furiously at her at the Friendship Games. Sunset tries to convince the girls that she really is their friend, but her geode and pictures on her phone are dismissed as fakes.

Desperate, Sunset tries communicating to Princess Twilight in Equestria, and is relieved that she still remembers her well, though the circumstances are serious enough that she agrees to return to Equestria to talk about it. After Sunset explains everything, pony Twilight is just as uncertain what's going on, but determines that she does know somepony who might know, despite the real possibility they might not get along.

Yes, you heard that right. After nearly five years since the very first Equestria Girls movie, the biggest request of the fans, Sunset Shimmer reconciling with Princess Celestia, has finally happened.

Once Sunset and the princesses are confirmed to be on good terms, Celestia admits she also doesn't know for sure what's going on, but she does permit access to a restricted section of Canterlot Library that can only be opened by Celestia and Luna together. Naturally, Twilight is ecstatic at looking through a part of the library she never knew even existed, and they quickly begin researching.

After quite some time, they finally find an old scroll detailing how Clover the Clever was able to chase down an adversary who possessed an object known as the Memory Stone, which could selectively remove memories from anyone, and apparently that stone was ultimately buried in another world, quite likely the human world. Now with a good idea of what to look for, Sunset returns to Canterlot High. Unfortunately, with everyone now remembering her only as the mean bully she used to be, she struggles to get any progress.

Trixie's behavior quickly get Sunset suspicious, but after a rather loud confrontation in the hallway, it turns out that Trixie had nothing to do with the Memory Stone after all. Sunset is devastated by her struggles, and with Trixie starting to sympathize due to her own lonely reputation, an unlikely alliance is forged between the two. At the same time, back in Equestria, pony Twilight finds the missing piece of the scroll and discovers that by sundown on the third day, any memories removed by the stone will be lost forever, so she urgently sends a warning to Sunset that the Memory Stone must be destroyed before nightfall.

Sunset and Trixie ask just about every student in the school, but end up getting nowhere. They eventually realize there's one student they have not yet talked to, and that's the always forgettable Wallflower. As they confront her, Sunset is able to piece together the clues and is able to expose that Wallflower does indeed possess the Memory Stone, and had used it because she was so jealous of Sunset being seen as such a good friend while she was just always forgotten.

Wallflower attempts to get away by wiping Sunset and Trixie's memory of their encounter, but thanks to what she had researched in Equestria, Sunset had thought ahead and used Twilight's camera drone to record everything, allowing them to rediscover that Wallflower has the Memory Stone. Even though the door out of the room is locked, Trixie is able to use her stage magic to get Sunset out of the room.

Sunset confronts Wallflower out in the parking lot in plain view of her friends, though she tries to be nicer than their previous encounter. Wallflower is in so much shock that she ends up blurting out important clues that make the girls realize that Sunset was right about their memories being lost. In response, Wallflower decides to take drastic measures and erase all of the memories of Sunset's friends, despite the fact that it would include memories of each other, but Sunset jumps forward and takes the hit.

With Sunset left completely confused by everything around her, her friends are moved by the sacrifice she made for them, and as they gather around her, their magical geodes activate and with the usual magical rainbow laser, the Memory Stone is destroyed and everyone's memories are completely restored.

Wallflower confesses that when she found the stone, her social anxiety had caused her to frequently use it to make everyone forget about moments she felt were embarrassing, which turned out to be so frequent that it left everyone with very few memories of her, and thus why she was so often easily forgettable. And so, once again, an antagonist is forgiven for their actions. In addition, due to these events, Sunset also ends up becoming friends with Trixie.
(end spoilers)

I have to say, it was actually really nice being able watch something new for once without any early releases to ruin the experience. I was pretty much on the edge of my seat as I watched this and wondered how it would all unfold. After so many episodes and specials spoiled early over the past few years, it was great to actually feel that kind of experience.

Has anyone here seen the Equestria Girls "Forgotten Friendship" special? Based on many of the comments I've read over at Equestria Daily, a lot of people are considering it one of the best installments ever in the entire series, even topping the fan-favorite Rainbow Rocks. I'd like to see what anyone here thinks of it.

Anyway, another week means another Equestria Girls short has been added to YouTube. This week, it's the one that was actually released early a few months ago (the rumors I've heard are that it was released early as a test for the format of the "choose your own ending" shorts). No word of it on Equestria Daily, so here's the direct link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6hV6TFTlXI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6hV6TFTlXI)

Although I did post my review on it when it was first uploaded, I'll rewrite it based on my new format, such as explaining why I picked certain endings over others.

The students are recording brief videos at the library. After Flash Sentry gives the weather forecast, Rarity comes in for the "trends" forecast. Unfortunately, she forgot to pack her style guide and didn't realize it until she was already on camera, so to avoid embarrassing herself on camera, she decides to improvise some inspiration from one of her three present friends: Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash.

Choose Twilight Sparkle: Rarity declares the next trend as "smart is chic", so the next day, everyone is wearing glasses identical to the one Twilight wears while also making somewhat pathetic attempts to behave "smart". Twilight ends up confused, especially since a certain book she wants on some highly advanced subject now has a month long waiting list. Rarity confesses that she took inspiration from her on the trend forecast and apologizes. Twilight accepts the apology, and Rarity resolves the issue by simply declaring a new trend: dramatic capes.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Rarity declares the next trend as "confetti", and Pinkie Pie practically explodes in excitement. The next day, everyone's lockers have been stuffed with confetti, leaving a big mess in the hallway, so Rarity, Twilight, and Applejack get to work cleaning it all up before Principal Celestia finds out. Once the cleanup is done, Pinkie is disappointed, while Principal Celestia thanks the other girls for cleaning up. However, just as Celestia opens the door to her office, tons of confetti literally flood the hallway, and Rarity fears that this will mean detention for her and her friends.

Choose Rainbow Dash: Rarity declares the next trend as "rainbows". The next day, she tries to find Rainbow Dash to ask a favor, but this turns out to be unbelievably difficult because everyone now has rainbow hair. As she wanders the halls and monologues about being in "the Rainbow Zone", she is absolutely freaked out by the time she does manage to find the real Rainbow Dash, who simply remarks that "everyone looks awesome".

For this one, I think Twilight Sparkle was the best choice, because despite the initial awkwardness, Twilight was able to talk it over with her friends, with Rarity apologizing and resolving the issue. The other two choices, while certainly less preferable than Twilight, came really close to each other. I think Pinkie Pie was rather okay because Rarity, Twilight, and Applejack did the right thing to try cleaning up the mess, but Pinkie just had to ruin everyone's day by going too far. Rainbow Dash was the one I least preferred because I found the style it was presented in as just flat out creepy.

Completely forgot to post here yesterday, so I'll just get this done today instead.

This week's new Equestria Girls short is actually not one of the "chose your own ending" shorts, but rather the last of the regular shorts that, as I mentioned before, was previously available only as a bonus with the My Little Pony Movie.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/equestria-girls-season-1-road-trippin.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/equestria-girls-season-1-road-trippin.html)

The Rainbooms have a gig at Goldie Delicious' farm, so they and their instruments ride in their tour bus with Granny Smith driving. They're already on a tight schedule as they hit the road, so when they encounter traffic, Granny Smith decides to take a shortcut along a dirt road. Along the way, they get a flat tire and Applejack (using her strength to lift the bus) and Twilight (using her levitation on the wheels) replace it, Fluttershy (using her animal communication) asks a herd of grazing cows to move off the road, Pinkie Pie (using her explosive sprinkles) destroys a fallen tree blocking the road, and they speed through a missing bridge that turns out to be just a backdrop for some movie being filmed. The bus arrives at practically the exact moment the Rainbooms are called up on stage.

I found this one to be rather amusing. In their efforts to arrive at a destination on time, they had such rotten luck of encountering one delay after another. Thankfully, many of the girls were able to use their magical powers to quickly overcome each of these obstacles. And of course, we got to see the Equestria Girls version of yet another familiar pony, in this case the elderly cat-loving Apple family historian Goldie Delicious.

Just nipping in to ask if Starlight Glimmer has appeared in any more shorts since "Mirror Magic"? Pretty much only interested in watching EqG shorts if she's in them

So, it's taken me some time to figure out what I wanted to say.  Basically, I've been avoiding EqD since the Season Finale last year.  I just hate the comment section of that place at this point.  It's because of certain things that happened in the comment section were unforgivable in my eyes and the admins there did NOTHING to the members responsible.  No punishments whatsoever.  All of them got off scoot-free.

There's a reason why I like this place so much.  It's because the admins here do what they should do when it comes to disrespectful members.  They take the necessary actions when someone won't obey rules.  It makes me comfortable knowing I can have a civilized conversation about certain topics. (So long as someone remembers to behave, that is.)

However, EqD has proven to NOT have a civilized community, and the admins do nothing about it.

As such, when the new season comes, I'll know I'll have to go to EqD to get the latest info.  As such, I shall block the comment section from my computer so I don't have to deal with the uncivilized community that's getting no punishment from their actions.

It will just make me feel more comfortable in the end, so please, don't try to talk me out of it.  I've made up my mind and this time, it's not changing.

Just two weeks left to go until Season 8 starts.

As for this week, we've now got Part 1 (out of what will be a total of five parts) of the Equestria Girls special "Forgotten Friendship" (though it seems to be going by a different title in this version) available on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-one-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-one-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html)
And the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGeRYf85W18 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGeRYf85W18)
Of course, since this is part of something we've already seen, I won't bother with any reviews on it. However, since these five parts are supposed to be the full 50-minute version (rather than the 44-minute version we've already seen), it'll still be worth watching for any additional content. (According to one comment on EqD, Part 1 has only 12 seconds of material not previously seen, so not much for this one at least.)

In addition, we also got five brand new Equestria Girls shorts, all of them taking place at the beach. I was about to link the announcement post from yesterday and wish you luck trying to find links to each of the videos in the comments, but thankfully, I can now link to a more recent post that simply lists those links.

As I've done previously with the other Equestria Girls shorts, even though I've already watched them all, I won't post any reviews on any of these until they're officially released on YouTube.

Just one more week to go until Season 8 begins.

Earlier this week, two more new Equestria Girls shorts came out, and like the other five from last week, they also take place at the beach (though good luck trying to find a good enough link in the comments).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/another-equestria-girls-short-salty.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/another-equestria-girls-short-salty.html)

And of course, Part 2 of Equestria Girls Forgotten Friendship has been added to YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-two-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-two-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html)
And the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hDWkwclNrg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hDWkwclNrg)
A few substantial additional scenes are included in this version.
(spoilers)
1, Sunset also looks at Rainbow Dash's memories.
2, Sunset notices pony Flash Sentry as she's walking into the library.
3, Sunset, Twilight, Celestia, and Luna walk down some stairs to reach the restricted section.
4, Sunset's attempt to use the restricted section's catalogue machine causes the old contraption to break down, leaving Twilight very excited about having to search through everything.
(end spoilers)

Seriously, even if you're someone who prefers pony over Equestria Girls, I would highly recommend watching at least this part (if only because much of it takes place in Equestria with pony Sunset Shimmer).

Okay, so here's how it's going to work out.  I will say that little will change from last season.

Pinkie Pie will not be returning.  She has too much going on, plus I doubt I can come up with many scenarios.

On top of that, I have blocked the comment section of EqD from my computer.  The comment section of EqD has had multiple chances to prove itself a decent community and it has greatly failed at that.  As I've explained, it's better this way for me.

I will not be watching the Live Streams, but I will provide the link for those who want to see them.  I'll watch the episodes on my own time.

With that all said, here's how it's going to work out.

Friday NIght - Post the Summary for the new episode the next day.

Saturday Morning - Post the link for the Live Streams.

Saturday After the Episode - Post the Dailymotion Link.

Saturday Evening - I shall watch the episode at this time.

Sunday - My review of the episode after a good night's rest.

That shall be the new schedule for me and I feel it'll be better for me as a whole.

With that said, I'll see ya all Friday. :wave

Seeing as pokeplayer has pony covered, I guess I'll continue to cover Equestria Girls. In which case, part 3 of Forgotten Friendship is now up.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-three-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/part-three-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html)

A few additional scenes in this one too.
(spoilers)
1, In a little follow-up to a previous additional scene, Princess Twilight briefly considers repairing the restricted section's broken catalogue machine as part of her effort to find out more about the memory stone.
2, Back at the beach, Rainbow Dash uses Twilight's drone to record a video of herself before starting the volleyball game, with Twilight giving a quick cheer of "Yay sports!"
(end spoilers)

And now for my review of the Season 8 premier.
(spoilers)
We start right after the events of the movie (good thing I was lucky enough to find a version of it to watch on YouTube a few weeks back), even including a mention of Tempest Shadow, who has apparently gone on a tour to announce the defeat of the Storm King to the rest of the world. Anyway, the Main 7 ponies find that the cutie map has somehow expanded to include the newly explored lands from the movie. With new places to spread the magic of friendship, it is here that Twilight decides to start a school of friendship.

Twilight goes to Celestia for advice, who says the only real concern to worry about is getting approval from the EEA (Equestrian Education Association). She presents her proposal to them, and with them convinced that it would "help protect Equestria from outside threats", they provide a provisional approval, with a thorough inspection to come later, while they also insist that everything be done "by the book" (a rather thick book). With approval granted, Twilight establishes the school in the lake behind her castle (glad to see those rumors I heard of it being far outside of Equestria are false), with all of her close friends to serve as teachers.

On opening day, we get to meet some of the new students: Sandbar the earth pony, Gallus the griffin, Smolder the dragon, Ocellus the changeling, Yona the yak, and Silverstream the hippogriff (I think I'll call this group the Student 6). Each of them already seem to have their own personality quirks, so I'm sure they'll become interesting characters throughout this season. (I had to look through the credits to even remember their names, but I'm sure that'll become easier as the season progresses.)

Through song montage, time passes and while Twilight's friends had ideas that the students found exciting, Twilight's blind insistence of doing everything "by the book" takes away all the fun, eventually reaching a point where the Student 6 decide to simply skip class one day, which just so happens to also be the day of inspection from the EEA. While Twilight and her friends are panicking while trying not to show it to the inspector, the Student 6 are able to have a great bonding experience, but they unintentionally cause a series of accidents. Even so, what ends up really infuriating the head of the EEA was the simple fact that the students consist of many creatures and not just ponies, which naturally insults the attending leaders of the other races. With all of that, the students are immediately pulled out, and the head of the EEA shuts down the school.

(end part one, on to part two)

Twilight ends up so depressed that it makes even Rarity's worst moments seem tame. Eventually, Starlight is able to knock some sense into her by reminding her why she wanted to start the friendship school, and shouldn't worry about how to do it (throwing away the EEA rulebook in the process). With renewed confidence, Twilight asks her friends to go out and ask each of the Student 6 to come back, only for their respective leaders to reveal that they've all gone missing.

With no one aware of where any of the Student 6 have gone, the leaders of the six different races come together and soon start accusing each other of holding the others, leaving Celestia very worried that a war could break out if the issue isn't resolved soon. Twilight and her friends try figure out where the missing students went, and soon realize that they were already becoming close friends with each other. More importantly is that the only one among them not missing is also the only pony in the group, so the Main 7 follow him and find them at the old Castle of the Two Sisters, right at the moment they are suddenly attacked by some porcupine-type critters. The Main 7 save the Student 6, and after seeing how awesome the former really are, the later agree to return to the school.

The Main 7, the Student 6, and the leaders of the different races eventually come together in front of the school. The leaders are still bickering and demand the students all return home, but the students refuse to be separated from each other. Even worse, as soon at Twilight breaks the lock on her school, the head of the EEA returns and only continues to carelessly insult the other races. But this time, Twilight stands her ground and declares that she doesn't need the EEA's approval, because this school will be unlike any other in Equestria, complete with her own rulebook (which turns out to be much thicker than the EEA's). After seeing the close friendships between the students, the leaders end their disagreements and allow the students to stay. And although the head of the EEA still viciously disagrees, the friendship school is back open.

With this season apparently going in an entirely new direction, these two episodes seem to do a good job of setting everything up for what's ahead. I think what I'll be most interested in is finding out more about the Student 6, so we'll see how things go from here.
(end spoilers)

Oh, and just reported on EqD, seven more brand new Equestria Girls shorts have come up from Discovery Family.

So, I'm going to say this.  I have yet to see the episode.  Now I remember WHY I watched the Live Streams in the first place.  It seems that, unless you keep me interested the whole way through, I have a tendency to pause the video or even leave.  I don't hate My Little Pony, but it's becoming less and less engaging for me.  The two ways I can mitigate that are either to watch it Live and have chat help me stay engaged.  Or watch it on TV via YouTube App.

All things considered, I may not watch it until Monday Afternoon.  However, I will make sure to give my review later that evening, regardless.

Now remember, I don't hate it.  It's just become less engaging for me.  We'll see what happens in the future.

For now, see ya later! :wave

There seems to have been a huge leak of mid-season 8 episodes (without the audio). I thumbed through them just to see if they were legitimate, but of course am not going to bother watching them until they're officially released. Has anyone heard any news about this yet?

I think I mentioned a while back that when those episodes leaked (back in December, I think), I refused to watch any of them because they were not even completed yet (I heard that this leak was due to someone who had actually hacked Hasbro). I'd rather have the full experience when I watch these for the first time, so I'll continue to wait for their official releases. (I recently heard that the specific episodes that were leaked are numbers 6-13, so be extra careful to avoid spoilers ahead of when those episodes officially release.)

~REVIEW POST~

As promised, here it is at last!  Spoilers below.

Okay, first thing I'm going to say.  Professor Naysay is racist!  He easily proved that.  Yes, he gave "other" reasons to close the school, but it's obvious that the main reason he closed the school is because he disapproves of teaching races outside of ponies.  That's the kind of bullcrap that needs to be removed as much as possible.

Not to mention that the book obviously makes teaching not fun.  Things need to be different.  This Friendship School is meant to be different.  It needs to have a different set of rules and I'm glad Starlight pointed that out to Twilight.  She's going to make a great Guidance Counselor.

I really like the Student Six. (Yes, I'll keep Chronicler's name choice for the time being.  Like it too much, anyways.) Well, all except Silver Stream the Hippogriff.  It's hard for me to like that kind of character.  My favorite is Yona the Yak, followed right behind Smolder the Dragon. (Just because I like dragons in general.) At least for now.  We'll see if things change.

The Student Six all get along very well, despite being different races.  They WANT to learn about what makes them different.  This is a very valuable thing of friendship indeed.

The episode was rather well done.  It devoted a good amount of time to both the old and new characters.  It didn't have much time to work with, but it used it so well in all aspects, it doesn't bother me.

Enjoyable episode and I hope for more.

Next time, Maud appears.  I need to go and mentally prepare myself.  Sorry, but I REALLY don't see what the fandom does with her.

See ya later! :wave

Part 4 of Equestria Girls Forgotten Friendship released on YouTube this week. (Unfortunately, the audio quality got screwed up, and here I was hoping that all five parts would stay clean as they released on YouTube.)
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/sunset-shimmers-saga-good-cop-great-and.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/03/sunset-shimmers-saga-good-cop-great-and.html)
And the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx460u15Q9c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx460u15Q9c)
Just one additional scene in this one.
(spoilers)
While Sunset and Trixie are questioning people in search of the memory stone (such as nurse Redhart in her office and Maud Pie in the hallway), they also question Micro Chips in the library. (Honestly, I wish this part had not been cut from the TV version.)
(end spoilers)

And now for my review of today's new episode.
(spoilers)
First of all, this is the first time we got to see the new intro for this season. Previously, the only changes to the intro over the seasons had been rather minor (Twilight gains wings, the tree library is replaced with the castle, Starlight Glimmer joins the group shot, etc.), but even though the audio still remains identical, the visuals are an entirely new sequence altogether. Way too many details for me to list, but needless to say, it really takes into account how much everything has changed since the very first season.

Anyway, onto the episode itself...

As we know from last season, Maud Pie is now living in Ponyville. However, Pinkie points out that they recently haven't been spending as much time together as they used to because Maud frequently claims to have other plans. The next day, when Maud fails to show up for yet another meet-up, Pinkie literally searches all of Equestria before Starlight (who we all know is friends with Maud) suggests Pinkie should simply go ahead with her plan for preparing for Maud's birthday the following day. At the cake shop, Pinkie bumps into a guy named Mud Briar (constantly dull and monotone), though Pinkie ends up frequently frustrated by his behavior (such as how he starts many statements with "technically..."). Pinkie finally finds Maud outside the shop, and after Pinkie frequently interrupts her with random guesses, Maud finally manages to tell Pinkie that she now has a boyfriend... and it happens to be Mud Briar.

Putting them next to each other, Maud and Mud behave pretty much identical, with the only real difference between them is that while Maud specializes in rocks, Mud's obsession is with sticks. (Sticks & Stones, get it?) In fact, they met each other in something that covered both of their interests: a rock show featuring petrified wood. Mud even has his own pet stick to play with Maud's pet rock. It quickly becomes clear that while Pinkie thinks she and her sister are similar in many ways, she definitely does not think the same for Mud (though to an outside observer, it's clear that Maud and Mud are virtually the same while it's Pinkie that's the outlier). Once again with advice from Starlight, Pinkie decides to try spending the day working with Mud on planning Maud's birthday party, but all attempts at bonding fail (for example, he hates the use of pinatas because "that's stick abuse"). Eventually, once they meet up again with Maud and Starlight, Pinkie has completely lost patience with Mud and openly questions how he could have anything in common with Maud, though Mud points out that perhaps Pinkie is the one who probably doesn't have much in common with Maud (even suggesting that Maud simply never spoke up about it to spare Pinkie's feelings).

Pinkie ends up with so much self-doubt that she practically panics and tries returning to live on her family's rock farm. It isn't long before her other sisters, Limestone and Marble, find out what's been going on, and at Marble's suggestion, Limestone uses a geode as a metaphor to explain why Pinkie shouldn't be so hostile to Mud. Cheered up again, Pinkie returns to Ponyville and not only agrees to at least tolerate Mud (even though it's clear she still feels frustration with him around), but also actually listen to Maud and give her exactly what would make everyone happy for her birthday: watching a surprise party she wasn't invited to.

I have to say, this is certainly one of those episodes suited for fans of Maud Pie (I'm certainly not one and therefore don't really get it, but to each their own). I found it quite interesting to see how Maud and Mud behave almost identically, yet Pinkie somehow views them in completely opposite lights (my best guess is that Pinkie probably has some serious bias in favor of her family members). And with Mud suggesting that Maud probably was never fully truthful to Pinkie to spare her feelings (just like we saw with Rainbow Dash last season), it really does make me wonder who else has been dishonest with Pinkie for years just to "spare her feelings". I did like seeing Starlight get involved, and I really liked seeing Pinkie's other sisters get a say in the matter (such as Limestone immediately denying jealousy over Maud getting a boyfriend). So for me, this episode was just fine and not much else.

~REVIEW POST~

Oh boy!  Can't believe I got through that.  I'll explain in my review below.

First off, Maud's monotone voice annoys me too much.  It makes it difficult for me to like her in any way, shape or form.  If she's just doing something in the background, fine, I can deal with that.

So, let's make her a boyfriend that's just as monotone and even more annoying.  Well great!  If things work out between Mud and Maud I wonder how bad their kids are going to be!  Yeah, you can guess how much I didn't like him.

Now, the plot of the episode is fine.  It's just these characters that bring it down for me.  If I found them more likeable, I could have cared more about this one.

However, if there's one thing of interest I can give for this episode, it's further proof that sparing Pinkie's feelings just isn't a good idea.  Yeah, I understand their good intentions, I understand that it shows they care.  However, what Pinkie wants more than anything is for her friends to be honest with her.  Otherwise, it makes her jump to conclusions and take things the wrong way.  Yeah, you may hurt her, but is that really better than the alternative?

Anyways, hopefully we don't see this Mud guy again.  I could do without him.

Conclusion, this one could have been decent, but certain characters just ruin it for me.

Next time, Fluttershy handles one of Rarity's Boutiques for a day?  You know what, I think I can handle it a lot better than I did this one.

See ya later! :wave

Part 5 of Equestria Girls Forgotten Friendship (the final part of it) is now up on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/04/final-part-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/04/final-part-of-equestria-girls-forgotten.html)
And the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMkWnhCc59Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMkWnhCc59Q)
Only a few seconds of additional content in this part, so not worth describing in spoiler text. Anyway, now that Forgotten Friendship is complete, I wonder which of the Equestria Girls shorts we'll see starting next week.

And now for my review of today's episode.
(spoilers)
Fluttershy is having a relaxing picnic at her animal sanctuary when Rarity suddenly arrives and desperately asks for help. Because she needs assistance from all of her employees for an upcoming fashion show in Canterlot, she needs to ask a friend to manage the Manehattan store, and Fluttershy agrees to help. (Though Rarity somewhat denies it, she did in fact already ask just about everyone else she knew of, all of whom refused for various reasons.)

At the Manehattan store, Rarity quickly explains how everything works, but Fluttershy is obviously overwhelmed and uncertain. Thankfully, that raccoon family that was there when the store first opened is still living (and even working) there, and are more than happy to help her out. As she and her other employees leave, Rarity begins to have second thoughts, but a run-in with a satisfied customer convinces her that Fluttershy has everything under control.

Meanwhile, in an effort to boost her much-needed confidence, Fluttershy adopts an alternate personality (with a fitting outfit), but when it doesn't help with another customer, she adopts a second alternate personality (with proper outfit) to better connect with that type of customer, then ends up also adopting a third alternate personality (and outfit) for similar reasons, and keeps switching back and forth between the three personalities as she deals with each customer. (I'm no expert on fashion, so I have no idea what the proper terminology is for those three styles, so I won't even bother trying to name them.) It works at first, but as things progress, Fluttershy gradually becomes more intolerant, eventually reaching a point where she turns against the raccoon family that had been helping her and she ends up kicking them out while calling them "rodents" (which they apparently find so offensive that you'd think it was a racial slur).

The raccoons go all the way to Ponyville to tell Fluttershy's friends about what's going on (good thing Spike is a master at charades to understand the message). Twilight, Spike, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Applejack all try to talk some sense into Fluttershy, but they're very appalled when all three of her alternate personalities behave as if she never even knew them. Unable to reason with her, they are forced to confront Rarity about it, and once she finds out how bad things are going, she leaves the fashion show early to deal with Fluttershy. (That really goes to show that, despite her passion for her career, Rarity is more than willing to put her closest friends before her business.)

But even with Rarity finally there, Fluttershy still remains unreasonable, even though it's obvious by this point that her behavior has driven away all of the customers. What finally snaps Fluttershy out of it is Rarity deciding to fire literally all three alternate personalities, one after the other, and Fluttershy immediately apologizes for her awful behavior. She ultimately learns that even though she does in fact have the right confidence within her, what really matters is that she should just be herself.

For me, personally, this episode is among my least favorable. I'm never fond of any cringe moments, and there was a lot of it between Fluttershy and the customers. In addition, I know almost nothing about fashion, and care very little about it, so the subject matter of this episode made it difficult for me to really get into it. Of course, that's all just my opinion, and I recognize that there's no objective reason why anyone should dislike this episode, so if anyone else likes it, I'm fine with that. However, I did like seeing the return of that raccoon family, and the rather significant role they ended up playing.

~REVIEW POST~

As promised, here's the review.

You know, there's a huge stigma against having someone act out of character.  Some people hate it, even if it's justified.  I'm one of the more reasonable people.  Things like mind control, acting and others I find a good reason for a character to act out of character.  So, does it work here?  I'd say kind of.

The second thing is that, depending on the reason, you have a limited range to work with before one can reasonably call you out for it.  While Fluttershy's reason of "it's only an act" can be justifiable to an extent, especially with the fact that it'll help her better identify with her customers, I really think there were points she took it too far.  I bet even with "it only being an act", Fluttershy would not treat the raccoon family the way she did.  THAT is where I call out the writers on.

I mean, she LOVES animals.  She really does treat them as if they were her friends.  For her to lash out like that, call them rodents and tell them to "head back to the forest" really feels like the writers only did that so the lesson could be done.  It's as if they wrote themselves into a corner or something.

Remember, I was fine with her acting like she did to better identify with customers, but it was where she mistreated the raccoon family where I put my foot down.  Sorry to the writers, but you really dropped the ball here.

Oh, and also the way she treated her friends, also quite out of character.  You'd really think she was under a spell or something.  It being an act doesn't justify it in my eyes.

Now, as for Rarity, well you've got to give her credit for at least trying everybody else.  Rainbow had Wonderbolt Practice, Twilight had tons of paperwork due to the new school, Pinkie had a backlog of orders to do, Applejack was probably too busy and who knows what the reasons were for the rest.  So, that left Fluttershy, whom, unless there's an emergency, pretty much has her schedule open. (To this day, I still question how Fluttershy makes money.)

Rarity was reasonable to worry, especially with the fact she was putting a newbie to the whole thing in charge. (Likely another reason she chose to ask Fluttershy last.) I mean, you don't do that unless you're desperate, and boy was she desperate.

Her dropping everything to go back to Manehatten to see what was up felt reasonable.

I also find it hard to believe that it took Rarity firing Fluttershy for the latter to have some sense knocked into her.  So quickly as well.

To me, Fluttershy acting unreasonably out of character is what hurt this one.  It felt too forced here.

Not a good episode.  I had a lot of hope for this one.

Next time, we get some Granny Smith love.  Can't remember the last time an episode revolved around her.

Until next time, see ya later! :wave

I can't believe EqD seems to have forgotten that Equestria Girls shorts are still ongoing on YouTube. Of course, with Forgotten Friendship now done, it's back to the two-minute shorts, and it looks like we'll be seeing those beach-themed shorts rather than the rest of the "choose your own ending" shorts (but I'm sure we'll see those shorts soon enough). Anyway, at least I can still offer the direct link:

Sunset is busy playing a pirate-themed video game on her handheld gaming device when she stumbles across a message in a bottle. She shows it to Twilight and Pinkie, and when they find that the message inside is a treasure map, they decide to follow it. They find another message in a bottle, this one requiring a decoding ring that was conveniently provided with the message. They follow the decoded set of instructions and end up at a sushi truck, with a prize of... 20% off for any product at that truck. Despite their disappointment at not finding real treasure, the three girls decide to take advantage of the deal and order some sushi, though Pinkie piles way too much wasabi on hers, with predictable results.

I liked this one because it started off with Sunset playing a video game and then suddenly finding herself with a chance to play a real life version of it with some of her friends (complete with an amusing video game style walking montage). Sure, the prize was rather disappointing, but I have to admit it was kind of funny seeing Pinkie Pie find out the hard way why she should be more careful with certain condiments.
(end spoilers)

And now for my review of today's episode.
(spoilers)
Word reaches the Wonderbolts that a certain popular roller coaster in Las Pegasus, known as the Wild Blue Yonder, will be closing in about a week. Even though riding that roller coaster is practically considered a must-do among all Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash somehow never heard of it, and once she does, she's very exited about it. However, her teaching duties at the School of Friendship are preventing her from what is almost certainly her last chance to ride it. Fortunately, Applejack offers to cover for her, but on one condition: take Big Mac's place as chaperone for Granny Smith and three other elderly mares on their annual trip to Las Pegasus. With Applejack providing a list of restrictions that she insists must be followed at all costs, it's easy to see why Rainbow is incredibly frustrated, but with that being virtually her only chance to even get close to that roller coaster, she reluctantly agrees.

Once they arrive, Rainbow insists that the four elderly mares go to their hotel room and take a nap. This is obviously an attempt to give her an excuse to leave them for a short while so she can ride the roller coaster, but based on how obviously they fake being tired, it seems the elderly mares have plans of their own. Rainbow gets a ticket for the ride, only to discover the line is incredibly long, and knowing that she shouldn't be away for too long, she reluctantly gives up her place in line, only to come back to the room and discover the mares have sneaked out. She eventually finds them, but in her efforts to follow Applejack's instructions, she ends up ruining any of their hopes for a good time. Ultimately, while the mares get special access to a popular magic show, Rainbow becomes convinced that she has now lost any hope of ever riding that roller coaster.

At the magic show, Rainbow is shocked when the elderly mares have volunteered to participate in an apparently highly dangerous trick, so she rushes to get them out of it. Unfortunately, it turns out that performing for that trick was something those mares had been hoping to do for years (and due to the show's reputation being suddenly ruined because of this incident, it's unlikely they'll ever get that opportunity again). Rainbow finally confesses the real reason why she agreed to go with them (and when she mentions Applejack was involved in the arrangement, the elderly mares seem to consider it a completely reasonable explanation for why Rainbow kept ruining their fun). Ultimately, the mares agree to give Rainbow what she wants by going on that roller coaster with her, and thanks to the express pass they possess due to visiting Las Pegasus for so many years, they're able to bypass the entire line. Rainbow Dash finally gets to enjoy that ride, and for finally ignoring Applejack's restrictions and proving how awesome she really is, the mares allow her to join their group with promises of many more annual trips to Las Pegasus.

This was a rather okay episode for me. Sure, I liked that Rainbow wanted to ride that roller coaster, but I couldn't help but feel some cringe moments (which you all know by now that I hate) every time she tried to follow Applejack's list of instructions. And of course, it's not until the full truth finally comes out that good times are had by all, only by completely ignoring Applejack. I'm pretty sure this is hardly the first episode where a whole lot of the conflict and issues could have been completely avoided had someone simply explained the whole truth right from the start. Even though I figured Rainbow Dash would eventually get on the roller coaster by the end of the episode, I was pleasantly surprised that the four elderly mares were more than happy to join her on that wild ride.
(end spoilers)

Since the next few episodes are the ones that got leaked, I'm honestly worried that said leaks may make videos of these episodes more likely to be taken down, even after they will officially premiere. Based on what I've heard, some of these episodes sound very interesting, and I'd really hate to miss out just because I refuse to watch any livestreams.

This was okay, but I had a good time with it.  Spoilers below.

So, we have Rainbow Dash chaperoning Granny Smith and her friends.  Oh boy!  Why did I not see those "adult" moments coming?  I mean, they actually got those past the censors.  It's been a while since I've seen that happen in a kid's show.  If Nostalgia Critic watched this episode, I have no doubt he would bring back the "You know, for kids!" joke that I rarely see in his stuff these days.

However, when it comes to putting in adult material, you have to do it right.  You have to make sure it doesn't make someone feel uncomfortable.  Unfortunately, the idea of old ladies wooing someone who is a young adult is very off putting.  It's one of the thing that makes someone scream "pedophilia" even though nothing sexual happened.  So, as nice as it was to see an adult joke, this wasn't the right adult joke to have.  Worse, it happened not once, but twice.

With that out of the way, let's get to Rainbow.  She was doing her best to follow those rules Applejack made.  However, all they did was get her in trouble.  The whole point of them going to Las Pegasus was about having fun, without any rules.  Perhaps THAT was the whole reason they brought so much luggage.  They didn't NEED that much.  They just wanted to tire out their chaperone so they could have some fun and not be blocked from it by rules that prevented that.

At least it was resolved by the end, and Rainbow got to ride the Wild Blue Yonder like she wanted.  On top of that, she became a member of their squad.  Not sure that was the best choice, but whatever!

Okay episode, but they really missed the mark.  I was hoping for better.

Next time, the CMCs help a Hippogriff.

Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack are relaxing on the beach when Fluttershy, thanks to her magic ability, hears a bunch of newly-hatched baby turtles struggling to reach the ocean. Rainbow Dash suggests using her pet tortoise Tank to find them, and once she decides to speed things up a bit, they find the baby turtles. Unfortunately, there's a bunch of obstacles between the turtles and the ocean, and since Fluttershy insists they can't just carry the turtles to the water, the girls decide to clear away all the obstacles. Once they eventually clear a path, they discover that Tank had already led the turtles a different direction safely to the water.

What I find most interesting in this short is, at the very start of it, I think this is the first time we actually heard what Fluttershy hears when she uses her magic power. Other than that, this short definitely brings the feels. Not one I'd count among my most favorites, but definitely one I can appreciate.
(end spoilers)

Just as I feared, being a leaked episode likely meant that any good versions of today's episode on DailyMotion were quickly taken down. I decided to try that new site, SendVid, and as far as I'm concerned, it was a great way to watch the episode. To be honest, I found it preferable to DailyMotion, so I'm glad that this new alternative will work just fine. (And to think, it used to be easy to find episodes on YouTube.) Anyway, on to my review of this week's episode.
(spoilers)
Amazingly, not only are the Cutie Mark Crusaders called by the Cutie Map, but they're called all the way to Mount Aris, the home of the hippogriffs. Of course, since they're still fillies, Twilight decides to go with them, not only to watch over them, but also with the excuse of getting Silverstream's permission form signed by her parents and to learn about hippogriffs and seaponies, entirely "for research".

Once they arrive at the newly built train station (with the tracks on a causeway) at Mount Aris, they soon meet Silverstream's brother, Terramar (a rather interesting name, once you learn about him). While Twilight goes with his father "for research", Terramar shows the CMCs around, and Sweetie Belle quickly falls in love with the fields outside the village. It's also at this time that they find out why they were sent here: Terramar can't decide between living with his father on Mount Aris or with his mother in Seaquestria.

For the sake of making a fair judgement between the two options, they next go down to Seaquestria (with Twilight joining them "for research"). It is here that we find out that the transformation pearl we saw in the movie has been broken into fragments for each hippogriff/seapony, which allows them to transform themself (and anyone they touch at the moment of transformation) to and from seapony form. Terramar leads Twilight and the CMCs down to Seaquestria, and Scootaloo quickly falls in love with the place due to how swimming around in the deep ocean feels like flying (and we all know how desperate she's been to achieve that dream).

After getting a good look at both places, the CMCs now have to help Terramar make his choice. Sweetie Belle is heavily in favor of Mount Aris, while Scootaloo is heavily in favor of Seaquestria, and Apple Bloom simply can't make up her mind before the disagreements between her two friends (in song form) drive them apart, so Terramar walks away convinced that they can't help him.

Eventually, the CMCs realize how silly their disagreement has been, and when they witness Twilight unintentionally bring the hippogriffs and seaponies together on the beach, they realize that the real answer is that Terramar shouldn't have to chose one place over the other. Once they find him and bring him to the beach, he sees everyone, including his parents, having a good time together, and he admits to his parents that he likes being in both places, and it's at this point that the CMCs get that signal that they successfully completed their first map mission.

I would consider this episode among my favorites for this season. Not to sound like Twilight was in this episode, but I really did like finding out more about both Mount Aris and Seaquestia. I also found it very interesting how not all of the seaponies wanted to go back to being hippogriffs and chose to stay in Seaquestria, which leads to the very interesting situation where Terramar (and his sister Silverstream) have parents living in different places. I have to say, this episode might be the closest this show ever comes to addressing the issue of being a child with divorced parents.

~REVIEW POST~

Well, we finally got a good episode.  Just good with not much to show for it.  I'll explain below.

The main problem I have is that this was an episode that could have been done at any point.  I guess to sidestep the idea of parents being divorced, the writers waited for an excuse where they could easily avoid the subject.  The very story of the Hippogriffs and Seaponies gives the writers such an opportunity.  So let's get to this.

It's nice to see the CMCs get their first ever Map Episode.  The location is Mt. Aris, home of the Hippogriffs.  The place is absolutely beautiful!  I can see why Sweetie Belle practically fell in love with it.

However, it's here where the plot presents itself.  A Hippogriff known as Terramar has trouble finding his place.  A number of the Seaponies from the movie decided to stay as Seaponies while others wanted to get back to their Hippogriff roots.  As such, the crystal that was used to transform others into Seaponies was split into fragments so they could visit between the two worlds.  Terramar was given one of those fragments so he could visit either of his parents at any time.

However, his dad chose to be a Hippogriff while his mother chose to be a Seapony.  As a result, Terramar is forced to go back and forth between the two places just to even talk with them.  This is a problematic thing for a child to go through.  However, it is rather easily sidestepped at the end of the day and never really addressed.  All the CMCs did in the end was convince Terramar to talk with his parents about the issue and Twilight made that opportunity happen for him.  In the end, he's back to where he started, but doesn't worry about it anymore.

I want to say that this was the wrong way to approach the subject.  However, the episode itself is enjoyable to watch from start to finish.  It's an episode that doesn't really resolve the issue, but is enjoyable to watch regardless of that.

The episode was enjoyable, but it's far from great.

Next time, we got a Princess Celestia episode.

Someone should at least let EqD know that the Equestria Girls specials are still being released on YouTube. Anyway, here's the direct link for this week's release:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNbJmb9eH5E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNbJmb9eH5E)
(spoilers)
Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity are making final preparations to go riding in a sailboat. Twilight has carefully plotted a course on her map, Pinkie brought a basket of various treats, and Rarity brought a huge trunk stuffed full of "essentials", which Twilight hauls back onto the dock due to not accounting for its massive weight for the trip. Once they cast off, things quickly go wrong. The gust of wind Twilight had prepared for turns out to be in the wrong direction, Rarity and Pinkie struggle to steer the boat back onto Twilight's course, Twilight loses her map, and just when they're about to crash into a huge rock, Pinkie tosses a cream puff from her basket into the water ahead, with her magic power causing it to explode with enough force to unleash a huge wave that then pushes the sailboat right back to the dock. Twilight remarks how they still had fun despite things not going to plan, Rarity passes out towels from her trunk for them to dry off, and Pinkie continues snacking on her now salty treats.

The events of this short very easily remind me of an episode from the main show (I believe it was in late Season 6, if I remember correctly), though since it features a different group of the main girls, it leads to a different series of events. In addition, while the pony episode had them end up mad at each other, here in this short they simply laughed off the crazy series of events as simply having a good time no matter what happens.
(end spoilers)

Hopefully once the leaked episodes are behind us, we can go back to DailyMotion, but for now I'm fine with SendVid. Anyway, on to my review of this week's episode.
(spoilers)
With Pinkie pointing out Celestia's upcoming "one-iversay" (1111th) of raising the sun for the very first time, Twilight decides to hold a play at her school about that event, and goes to Celestia to ask for permission to proceed. Surprisingly, Celestia is not only incredibly thrilled with the idea, but also reveals that being part of a play was something she had wanted to do back when she was a filly, but was too busy with her magic studies to ever actually do it. Twilight believes that this is a perfect opportunity to do something nice for Celestia personally, and decides to make her the lead actress for the play, much to the shock of just about everyone who finds out (including Celestia herself).

As they go through rehearsal, Celestia's lack of acting experience quickly becomes very obvious, but Twilight refuses to tell such a harsh truth to her (despite Applejack's obvious advice). Her friends consider canceling the play as a possible solution, but with Rainbow Dash spreading word so quickly, that option goes off the table. Twilight attempts to help Celestia get acting lessons from some professional actors, with her friends trying their bast to repair the damages caused by Celestia's earlier mishaps. Unfortunately, the lessons have little effect, and with Pinkie failing to think through her effort to replace the prop sun, Twilight snaps from all the stress, but Celestia overhears it all, and expresses her disappointment at Twilight failing to be honest with her.

Twilight catches up to Celestia and apologizes for not being honest, and only wanted to do something good for her, to which Celestia points out that "being honest is more important than trying to fulfill a good deed for a friend". With the audience already gathered, Celestia comes up with a new plan on how to proceed with the play. Rainbow Dash quickly provides a new backdrop, Fluttershy takes Celestia's place as the star role, and when things start getting tough, Celestia passes on some of the acting lessons she had received such as improvising and visualization. The play is ultimately successful, with Celestia pleased that she actually got to live her dream of being part of a play, pointing out that it didn't necessarily have to be an on-stage role to satisfy her.

For me, I'd say there are two big facts to consider from this episode. First, it has apparently now been 1111 years since Celestia raised the sun for the very first time. Considering that thousand-year era of Nightmare Moon, and probably a few more years have passed since the end of that, we can now safely say that the time span between Celestia first raising the sun and the Nightmare Moon incident is approximately just over a hundred years. Second, this was clearly yet another episode about how wrong it is to lie for the sake of sparing one's feelings. Since Princess Celestia herself became the victim this time, perhaps now these ponies will have finally actually learned that lesson.

~REVIEW POST~

Good episode.  Better than last week's.  I'll explain more below.

So we've had this lesson multiple times by now.  Simply, "lying is bad, m'kay?".  I mean, they went as far as Applejack trying to drill it into Twilight's head and the latter refusing to take that course of action until Celestia overheard the truth.  Hopefully, this is the end of this lesson.

Leave it to Pinkie to remember not just the 1,111th Anniversary of Celestia raising the sun, (Now I'm CONVINCED there's something secret about her.  Come on, writers.  What's the truth about her?) but also how many times Applejack has told her something.  She brought a lot of comedy into this and helped make it more enjoyable.

Let's address the elephant in the room.  Celestia is one of the worst actors I have EVER seen.  This acting of her's was meant to be intentionally bad and boy did the writers deliver with this one.  I mean, even professionals couldn't help her.  This really shows how little time she had to stuff outside of her royal duties.  If she couldn't even commit time to fulfilling a dream of hers... wow!

Finally, let's get to the play.  I'm impressed with Fluttershy.  One moment, she's hyperventilating. (Where she even took out a paper bag to control herself.) The next, Celestia calms her down so she can play the role flawlessly.  It's been 8 seasons and the writers can still surprise me in good ways with her.  There's quite a few reasons she's one of my favorites to this day and still so high on that list.

There's plenty of points to facepalm at what happens.  This is what makes it bad.  You know what has to be done, and yet the characters just won't do it.  It was pretty annoying.  However, there were some good parts that helped in making it enjoyable.  Pinkie was the main bulk of this with her usual comedic moments.  The play was quite good when we finally got to it.  Not to mention the ride was kind of fun overall.

Better than the last episode, but not by much.

Next time, Starlight and Sunburst episode.

See ya later! :wave

Another week without EqD even bothering to mention the Equestria Girls shorts still being added to YouTube. Here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIkMCTuDASQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIkMCTuDASQ)
(spoilers)
Rainbow Dash and Applejack are relaxing on the beach when Rarity suddenly arrives terrified that she lost one of her custom earrings, so they agree to help her find it with metal detectors. They spend the entire afternoon searching as much of the beach as they can, and although they find all kinds of objects, they are unable to find Rarity's missing earring. However, it's when Rarity puts on her metal detector's head phones again that they discover the earring was simply hidden within her hair all along.

Using metal detectors at a beach is a rather well-known hobby, so it doesn't surprise me that one of these beach-themed shorts features it. And of course, it was quite amusing to see all those weird objects they kept digging out of the sand (most notably, Rainbow Dash was unable to recognize an old cellphone).
(end spoilers)

I tried that other video site last week, but my computer had trouble playing through the whole thing, forcing me to pause it for a little while every few minutes, so I think I'll stick with SendVid (good thing I often tend to wait long enough for it to become available later in the afternoon). Anyway, onto my review for this week's episode.
(spoilers)
At the Crystal Empire, Sunburst is very focused on his studies as he tosses away yet another letter from his old home, but then his cutie mark starts glowing. Understanding what this means, he goes to Ponyville and is excited to be going on a mission to solve a friendship problem, especially with Starlight called on it as well, but just like Starlight, he loses all enthusiasm when he finds out that the mission will take them back to the village where they grew up. (Unfortunately, I can't quite remember the name of that village right now, due to only seeing the episode once so far, but I do know that there is an actual name for that village.)

Starlight and Sunburst arrive at the village and quickly discover just how different it has become from when they were last there. Half of it has become highly developed, while the other half has been completely preserved for historical purposes. It soon turns out that the developed half is due to efforts by Sunburst's mom, while the preserved half is due to efforts by Starlight's dad (they both have names, but again, I can't quite remember them after just one viewing). Seeing them strongly disagree over how to run the village, Starlight and Sunburst think they found the friendship problem, and after some effort, eventually manage to convince them to stop their hostility toward each other. But even though their parents are now getting along with each other, no glowing cutie marks means that the mission hasn't actually been accomplished.

Starlight and Sunburst begrudgingly decide to spend more time with their parents for help to find where the real friendship problem is, but it's already obvious why they hate the idea; Starlight's dad keeps treating her like a little filly, while Sunburst's mom is obsessed with making sure that he has his life planned out. Starlight and Sunburst eventually reach a breaking point and they both snap at their respective parents. It's not long after telling off their parents that they realize the real friendship problem was for them to reconcile with their parents, so they apologize to their parents and ask for them to at least respect their wishes (Starlight's dad needs to recognize that his daughter is grown up and moved on, while Sunburst's mom needs to let him make his own plans on his own). With everypony reconciling, the map mission is successful. As Starlight and Sunburst leave, they realize that now that they're on better terms with their parents, they no longer have any reason to avoid visiting the village, and wouldn't mind making another visit, though they don't seem so eager when their parents start considering visiting them at their new homes.

This episode was certainly quite interesting. We now know the name of the village where Starlight and Sunburst grew up, and we got to meet one parent of each of them (though it's a little strange we didn't get to see both parents for either of them). We still don't know much more about Starlight's backstory (such as how she got her cutie mark or how she started that other village she ruled over), but at least now we got a little bit to go on. Perhaps what I found most interesting is how Starlight's dad was solely focused on the past, while Sunburst's mom was solely focused on the future, which provided a very interesting conflict between not only each other but also with their respective children.

~REVIEW POST~

Okay, so here we go!  Enjoyed this one.  Spoilers below.

Looking at this episode, I would argue that there was not one but two Friendship Problems to solve.  They were, one, the problems Sunburst's Mother and Starlight's Dad caused for the town.  Two, the soured relationship Sunburst and Starlight had with their respective parent.

Starlight's Dad was stuck in the past, while Sunburst's Mom was thinking of the future.  Both in terms of the town and the raising of their respective child.  I can understand why Starlight and Sunburst never returned home.  Heck, they chose to be elsewhere than with their parents during the Holidays.  I'm not surprised after seeing this.  Yes, parents embarrassing their child can be such a problem, that they can leave just on that alone, cutting all ties in the process.

However, it is interesting to see how their lives were after all of that happened.  Especially Starlight and how she turned to The Dark Side, nearly dooming all of Equestria.

I like when the writers give lessons for the parents of those watching the show with their kids.  The fact is, when you grow up, you have to make your own choices in life and take them as they come.

This was all well done and I'm glad to see how well this episode turned out.

All in all, a really good episode I would highly recommend, if only for the lesson here.

Next time, AJ and Rainbow make a truce.

After about a month of nothing, EqD finally mentions the Equestria Girls shorts still being added to YouTube.

And of course, here's the direct link for this week's release:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqeUacXk8cI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqeUacXk8cI)
(spoilers)
Pinkie, Rainbow, and Rarity are helping Fluttershy with some crab adoption effort at the beach. Pinkie struggles to get the crabs to cooperate with her, so she instead offers to go get some shaved ice (snow cones) for her friends. However, as soon as she has the four snow cones, she encounters a series of events that makes delivering them to her friends difficult. First, some kid drops his snow cone, so she gives him one of hers. Next, a seagull steals the second snow cone. Hot beach sand gets in the way next, so she bounces over it on a beach ball, some umbrellas, and grabbing onto a kite, which then breaks and sends her crashing to the ground in front of her friends, leaving the third snow cone covered in sand. Finally, due to the crabs getting "crabby" because of the heat, she gives them the final snow cone. Pinkie is disappointed that she couldn't give the treats to her friends like she promised, but Rainbow Dash uses her super speed to quickly get more for them to share.

Not much for me to say for this one. It was certainly amusing how Pinkie trying to simply bring some snow cones to her friends turned out to be ridiculously difficult, losing one after another in various ways, only for it to ultimately not matter when Rainbow Dash makes the second attempt with virtually no issues at all.
(end spoilers)

And here's my review for this week's new episode.
(spoilers)
After Fluttershy wins "Teacher of the Month" yet again at the Friendship School, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, always competitive as ever, are desperate to win it themselves. With the discussion of an upcoming field trip focusing on teamwork, Rainbow and Applejack each argue that they're best suited for offering such lessons, and they end up both being put in charge of it together.

The problems start right from the beginning, with Applejack and Rainbow disagreeing on what activity the Student 6 (alternatively known as the Young 6, as I see both names still being used by fans) should do. First, Applejack tries getting them to work together building a shed, but insists on working slow and carefully, which causes Rainbow Dash to get impatient and rush through the rest of the build, resulting in the shed getting destroyed. Next, Rainbow Dash tries getting them to work together paddling a canoe to set a speed record, but when she and Applejack disagree on which way to go, they end up going neither direction and smash into a rock.

As they drift down the river, Yona almost drowns, but Silverstream and Ocellus work together to save her. Once the group finally gets back on land, Twilight shows up, and the reactions she gets from students make it clear to her that Rainbow and Applejack had been doing a terrible job, seemingly caring more about competing for "Teacher of the Month" rather than actually teaching teamwork. Predictably, Twilight is furious, so she not only reminds them that "Teacher of the Month" is determined by student vote, but also picks the team-building activity herself; a simple nature hike.

Once the group gets underway, Rainbow and Applejack let their competitive nature get in the way again, this time by being too polite to the other and getting very little accomplished along the way. They eventually end up lost and the only way back to the school before dark is to cross a ravine. Despite some students suggesting simply flying across, Rainbow and Applejack insist on building a bridge, but disagree on what to build it with; Applejack goes for just vines, while Rainbow goes for just sticks. Both crude bridges collapse and Rainbow and Applejack are left tangled up over the ravine, so the students work together to save them. Once they finally return to the school, Twilight asks the students what they learned, and they claim that they learned a lot about teamwork by watching Rainbow and Applejack demonstrate how not to do it.

We've known since Season 1 how competitive Rainbow Dash and Applejack can be, so seeing it here in Season 8 shows that some things are unlikely to ever change. Also, this is the first episode since the season premiere that featured the Student/Young 6, so we got an opportunity to learn a little more about them (for example, Yona is very scared of water because she can't swim). It was kinda interesting that the Student/Young 6 quickly understood that Rainbow and Applejack were not being good teachers (you know there's a problem when the kids have better awareness than the adults), and in the end, were nice enough to say their methods did teach them a useful lesson, even if it wasn't in a way they had intended. I also must admit that things at the ravine didn't turn out as I had expected: the two bridges made of just vines or just sticks clearly wouldn't work, and I had assumed that one made of both would work, though it seems the students ultimately chose to just fly across anyway; and when Rainbow and Applejack ended up tangled in a ball of wreckage hanging in the ravine, that reminded me of a scene from one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and I had assumed that scene would be further referenced by those two finally working together by trying to swing across to one side, but again the students decided to simply fly them out of there. I think it's fair to say that the Student/Young 6 possess a lot more common sense than I had honestly expected. Overall, this was one of the more favorable episodes of this season for me.

~REVIEW POST~

It seems some things never change.  Spoilers below.

Some things never change.  We're in the eighth season, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash are still rivals.  Not that I would want that to change, it's part of what makes their character interaction great.  However, one could argue that it's what hurt this episode.

They chose different activities for the field trip, both of which failed due to their rivalry, and even when a third party chose the activity, it runs into problems because of said rivalry.   It's unknown how this rivalry started, but I for one don't want it to end.  Sure, it got them into trouble, but I find it entertaining.

The real stars of this episode are the Student Six. (Name I'm sticking with, regardless of what anyone says.  Besides, "Young Six" just doesn't sound right to me.) They learned how to work together nearly by themselves to save their teachers.  On top of that, they bailed Applejack and Rainbow Dash out and made sure they didn't suffer Twilight's wrath a second time in the same day.

There are better episodes this season, but at least this one was entertaining.

Next time, a Big Mac episode.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack are ready to go surfing at the beach. Fluttershy politely declines their offer to let her join them, but her brother Zephyr Breeze comes over with his own surfboard, bragging that he's a pro, though Fluttershy points out that he actually only just got that surfboard. As we all know, Rainbow Dash doesn't appreciate his behavior, so she and Applejack make him put his money where his mouth is by actually going out surfing. Predictably, Zephyr quickly wipes out and has to be brought back to shore by a lifeguard. Back on the beach, Zephyr confesses his lies about being a pro and begs Rainbow Dash to give him lessons. Rainbow reluctantly agrees, but only because she cares more about his surfboard than Zephyr himself.

Zephyr Breeze makes his second appearance (third if you also count his introduction in My Little Pony), and he's just as pathetic as ever. I'd argue this was his best appearance, because this time he actually faced the consequences for his unreasonably arrogant claims. And of course, his notorious crush on Rainbow Dash gets a major burn when she mentions that she loves his surfboard more than she loves him.
(end spoilers)

And here's my review for this week's episode.
(spoilers)
Hearts & Hooves Day has arrived, and Big Mac plans on mailing an apple pie to Sugar Belle, along with an invitation for a special date in his family's barn. However, he needs to get it in the mail very soon and it's taking too long to bake, so Spike summons Discord and asks him to use his chaos magic to instantly finish the pie. Discord begrudgingly agrees, but refuses to understand the point of the holiday. Meanwhile, Big Mac is able to mail the pie, but the address gets smudged during handling to now say "_____ Belle", so it ends up being sent to Sweetie Belle, leaving her and her friends to wonder who sent it to her.

Spike makes a wager with Discord in an effort to get him to understand to purpose of the holiday, but during their efforts, they find Sugar Belle talking to Mrs. Cake. They tell Big Mac that Sugar Belle is in town, but as they attempt to stall her before the special date is ready, they overheard her saying some things that lead to the assumption that she's planning to break up with him. Big Mac is unsure what to do, and Discord (still not caring anything about love) gives him some rather poor advice, resulting in Big Mac telling Sugar Belle their relationship is over, much to her absolute shock.

Back at the barn, as Big Mac talks with Spike and the CMCs, he realizes he make a terrible mistake and runs off to talk to Sugar Belle, while Discord (finally seeing how real Big Mac's feelings really were) offers to do something about it. Big Mac catches up to Sugar Belle and admits he still loves her, and after some more talking, it was all revealed to be just a big misunderstanding (astonishingly, the truth turned out to be exactly that wild speculation Spike had made earlier in the episode). Meanwhile, unable to identify the supposed secret admirer, the CMCs start eating the pie and when they find the invitation inside, they realize that the pie was actually meant for Sugar Belle, meaning there was never any secret admirer, but they're okay with that. Finally, as Spike and Discord talk at the end of the day, Discord reveals that he broke Sugar Belle's wagon, stalling her just long enough for Big Mac to catch up, thus proving to Spike that even Discord can understand the spirit of Hearts & Hooves Day.

This was practically a 3-in-1 episode with not just Big Mac misunderstanding a break-up with Sugar Belle, but also with Spike trying to get Discord to understand the spirit of the holiday, and with the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying to identify a non-existent secret admirer for Sweetie Belle. As part of the lesson about avoiding misunderstandings, I like that we got a reminder that Big Mac used to be a lot chattier back when he was younger (as we saw in that flashback episode of young Applejack telling lies). I was quite surprised by Discord's involvement in this episode, let alone how much he was part of it. However, due to this episode being about the issues of misunderstandings, there were quite a lot of cringe moments that I'm never fond of, so I personally would rank this as a rather average episode.

~REVIEW POST~

You know, I seem to hardly care about this episode.  Still, here's my review.  Spoilers below.

The main reason for me not caring about this one isn't because I find it bad, but I find it uninteresting.  Big Mac has a big plan for Sugar Belle on Hearts & Hooves Day, but a simple misunderstanding pretty much changes all that.  Basically, I knew this was going to happen before I even watched it.  I wasn't even spoiled in any way, shape or form. (At least what I consider "spoiled" to mean.  I don't see knowing the summary as being spoiled.  After all, who knows what twists will come?) I knew a misunderstanding would happen and I knew it would be resolved by the end.  It was more the journey of getting there that would determine how much I liked it.

I love Discord, but he didn't help much here.  He was more of a device to get the story rolling than anything else.  I fully understand his opinion on the holiday and I would argue that he's "not wrong" about it.  The Greeting Card Industry have done shady things like that.  However, this is more of a holiday they "took advantage" of rather.  It was nice to see him understand that there is something to this holiday and help Big Mac resolve things with Sugar Belle.

As for the CMCs.  I almost feel like their thing was put in because the writers didn't have enough material and had to put in something to pad out the run time.  In the end, they just enjoy the pie that was mistakenly sent to them and find it was all a simple mistake.

There's really nothing I found that interesting in the end.

This episode couldn't keep my interest and that's just sad, really.

Next time, Spike episode.

I've really enjoyed the new season so far, and I don't usually comment on these, but man did I hate this episode.

*spoilers start*

Okay, what better premise to use for an episode than the done-ten-million-times-over breakup misunderstanding plot? It was obvious how this episode was going to resolve right at the start, and none of the filler in the middle could save it from being boring and pointless. They even used Spike to comment on how absolutely dumb the premise was as if that would somehow make it okay. And then, in a "big surprise" twist of lazy writing, Spike's completely implausible explanation turned out to be the truth.

I've never felt mad at MLP before, but this episode was completely inane. It was out of character for Big Mac considering the HUGE effort he went through to prove his devotion to Sugar Belle, and all it served to do was make me question the strength and premise of their relationship.

*end spoilers*

0/10, awful episode. Not even Discord could save this dud.

I have to say, it's quite interesting to see such a divergence of opinions between us here and the majority of comments on Equestria Daily over the last two episodes. This most recent episode is one we didn't really like, while EqD comments were largely very positive, but the previous episode is one we seemed to like just fine, while EqD comments were largely very negative. There were a few exceptions, but that's how most of those comments went. (I don't mind reading those comments there, as they sometimes point out some interesting things I may not have noticed. Of course, I never read any of them until after I've posted my thoughts here, just to be sure that what I say here is entirely my personal opinion. Not to mention, since I don't have a discord account, I can't make any comments there myself, so that means no temptation for me to get involved with any craziness.) Quite a strange observation, but I won't let it affect my thoughts on the show itself.

Sunset and Pinkie immediately assume it's a sea monster, but Twilight and Fluttershy are more skeptical. To solve the mystery, Fluttershy immediately goes into the water, Sunset and Pinkie prepare to follow, while Twilight watches from a lifeguard shack (where Timber Spruce happens to be working). While Pinkie complains about not going into the water without her floatie, she and Sunset are about to head out when the mystery object starts coming ashore, and are soon joined by Twilight and Timber when they also see it. However, it just turns out to be Fluttershy carrying Pinkie's lost floatie.

I really liked this short because it featured a difference of beliefs among these girls that actually makes sense. Sunset, being from Equestria where magical monsters are real, is quick to believe it's a sea monster; Twilight (note that this is human Twilight, not pony Twilight) is much more skeptical, since she puts her trust in science; Pinkie is gullible enough to believe in just about anything; and Fluttershy is doubtful because, thanks to her magical geode, she couldn't hear anything coming from the object. Oh, and we also got to see Sunset's swimwear without that sarong, revealing that she really does wear a bikini.

And here's my review for this week's episode.
(spoilers)
Rarity is interested in trying to design some new fashion with a phoenix theme, so Spike volunteers to take her to see his former pet, Peewee, who has now grown enough to have his own nest. However, Spike starts getting some red itchy scales, but is convinced it'll go away after a good night's rest. But the next day, not only have his itchy scales gotten much worse, he's also now got uncontrollable bursts of fire breath, uncontrollable changes in the volume of his voice, and really awful body odor. Fortunately, Smolder (one of the Student Six) happens to be there to explain that the symptoms Spike is experiencing is the Molt, which is essentially a dragon version of puberty. In addition, supposedly all dragons end up kicked out of their old homes when they Molt, which of course terrifies Spike.

Spike goes to Zecora and desperately asks for something to stop his Molt. She is unable to prevent what is after all a natural part of growing up, though she does offer him a lotion to help ease some of the symptoms. But then Rarity shows up seeking a cure for her hearing (apparently, she went deaf due to Spike's voice having one of its sudden increase in volume), so Spike escapes out a window while Zecora distracts her. After Rarity leaves, Zecora finds Spike outside, only to find out the hard way that Spike's Molt odor also attracts predators like rocs (a giant eagle). The roc captures Zecora, then also captures Rarity. Twilight soon shows up and attempts to save them, while Spike undergoes the final stage of the Molt; temporarily petrified by his own skin, then breaking free and discovering that he now has wings. Immediately putting his new wings to good use (though he certainly has trouble controlling them at first, much like when Twilight first got her wings), he helps Twilight rescue Rarity and Zecora. When Spike admits his fears of being forced to leave, Twilight assures him that he'll still be just as welcomed to stay as he always was.

Let's face it, with Spike finally gaining wings, this is one of those episodes that features a major change to one of the main characters, much like when Twilight became an Alicorn or when the Cutie Mark Crusaders got their cutie marks. Of course, with Spike living among ponies his whole life, he was obviously going to have absolutely no idea about certain things that most dragons consider as a natural part of growing up. Good thing one of the students at the Friendship School happens to be a dragon who had already gone through those changes herself (also, Smolder even mentions at one point that she has an older brother), though it seems that the part where Molting dragons are forced to leave home is actually more of a cultural effect rather than a biological one. It'll be interesting to see what kind of antics Spike will be up to now that he has wings. (And make sure to watch closely the intro for next week's episode to see if they'll include Spike wings, much like for when the CMCs got their cutie marks.) Anyway, despite a few cringe moments, I found this to be a rather good episode.

~REVIEW POST~

I have made a commitment to stay away from the comment section of EqD. (Especially after what happened with a certain blog post.) However, I bet I can guess what the reaction was.  Spoilers below.

In all this is one of the better Spike-oriented episodes.  However, there are much better ones.  However, for what we got, it was quite good.

I found this both entertaining and fascinating.  Fascinating to find out exactly what was going on with Spike and seeing what the writers came up with for such an important change.  Entertaining due to all of the antics that happened with this episode.

It's definitely a good thing Smolder was around to clear things up.  However, a part of me wishes that she didn't bring up the whole "forced to leave the nest" thing dragons in The Dragonlands do.  It would have been interesting to see what lengths Spike would have gone to just to protect his friends from himself.  He did have little to no control over those uncontrollable fire burps.  Still, it made for better antics in the end.

Let's get to the crux of the matter though.  During a confrontation with a Roc, after turning to stone and breaking out of his petrified state, Spike developed wings.  This is a change the fandom has been waiting for.  Much like the CMCs getting their cutie marks, we knew this was going to happen eventually.  How it would happen though, was much of a mystery.  Dragons are pretty much a fantasy realm creature.  You can make up quite a bit of lore around them.  For the most part, the writer(s) in question couldn't be proven wrong because they can pretty much make up whatever they want.  Spike being I'd say about 10 years old (maybe a few years older) when the series started gave the writers a lot of room to work with on how he would develop with becoming an adult, especially if the series lasted long enough for some of the bigger changes, which the series did.

Spike is someone who has been with us from the start.  Seeing how he has grown has been a fun ride so far.  I hope to see more from this development.

Other than a few cringe moments, this was a good one.

There have been better Spike episodes, but this one was still a good one.

Next time, a Cutie Mark Crusaders Episode.

See ya later! :wave

I think we're getting close to the last few of the beach-themed shorts. Anyway, another Equestria Girls short has been added to YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/06/equestria-girls-unsolved-selfie.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/06/equestria-girls-unsolved-selfie.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kMK6oPo1E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kMK6oPo1E)
(spoilers)
Pinkie joins Twilight at the beach after discovering Rarity left behind one of her magazines, and finds that among its contents is a quiz about "how well you know your best friend". Naturally, Twilight takes quizzes very seriously, so when both of them get none of the questions answered correctly for each other, she decides to determine undoubtedly that she and Pinkie are friends. After a lot of extensive studying at the beach, Twilight ultimately concludes that friendship "can't be quantified", and she and Pinkie are happy about it anyway.

Not much to say for this one. We all know that the kind of quizzes you'd likely find in one of those fashion or gossip magazines that Rarity would likely read are the kind that don't really come with any right or wrong answers, but Twilight took it way too seriously, and ended up spending the entire day doing research, only to conclude that all of that research was actually completely pointless.
(end spoilers)

And here's my review for this week's episode.
(spoilers)
The Cutie Mark Crusaders take a look around Twilight's School of Friendship and are so excited by all the wonderful activities the students do there that they decide to enroll. However, Twilight points out that it's a school that teaches friendship, and she knows from experience that the CMCs are already excellent in that subject, so it would be pointless to enroll them. The CMCs are so determined to go to that school that they try all kinds of crazy ideas, but all of them fail in various ways.

At one point, they come across a pegasus filly named Cozy Glow, who happens to be a student at the School of Friendship. When she is very saddened about being unable to complete a homework assignment and being completely unprepared for an upcoming test, the CMCs agree to help her, and despite some difficulty at first, Cozy Glow does show some improvement over time. But in a big shock to everyone, Cozy Glow completely fails the test, and Twilight accuses the CMCs of intentionally setting her up to fail in an effort to get themselves enrolled. Despite their honest protests, Twilight bans them from the school grounds.

Cozy Glow is so ashamed of what happened that she goes to guidance counselor Starlight Glimmer (who's been very bored lately with nothing to do) and confesses that she deliberately failed her test in an effort to help get the CMCs enrolled in the school, and after some further talk, Starlight comes up with an idea. The CMCs are brought back to the Friendship School, and after Cozy Glow confesses to them about deliberately failing her test and why she did it, the CMCs are made honorary graduates, plus are given a new position at the school as tutors to help other students.

While there were certainly some cringe moments from the CMC's failed attempts to get enrolled at the Friendship School, it was nice that they decided to help a student there who was struggling. When Cozy Glow decided to deliberately fail her test, even though she had ultimately good intentions, she clearly didn't expect things to backfire so terribly. (I guess the lesson here is that, no matter how good your intentions might be, bad misdeeds could lead to completely unexpected consequences that could end up doing more harm than good.) Also, in yet another case of immediate continuity, we see Spike is still getting used to his new wings (in this case, accidentally blocking the projector at one point).
(end spoilers)

I've heard rumors that next week's episode might be released a few days early in Britain, but considering what I remember when that had happened for the last few episodes of Season 6 (slightly higher pitch and possibly edited in some places), I'd rather wait the full week for the next episode.

~REVIEW POST~

Okay, this one was fine, but it could use some work.  Get the spoilers below. (Note: After the migration, we now have a tag for Spoilers.  For those implementing it, it is a button marked "Sp".) Click the "SHOW" link if you wish to check them out.

Spoiler: ShowHide
If you ask me, this was an episode that at least did it's job.  It gave us an overall plot and gave us everything we could have expected from it.  However, it doesn't seem to try to push the envelop, which is what really hinders it.  It's nothing more than an average episode.  If it wasn't for the ending, it would be forgetful in the grand scheme of things.

I get where the Cutie Mark Crusaders are coming from.  School can be rather boring sometimes. (Seriously, Cheerlie wasn't winning any "Most Fun Teacher" Awards here.) Then you hear about this school that teaches while having fun at the same time?  What more can a kid ask for?  Heck, I'd probably be right along with them if I was their age.

However, this is a school that teaches friendship, a subject those three have overall mastered over the years this show has been around.  I'm not surprised Twilight didn't let them in.  However, this leads to some crazy antics of them trying to get in.  Some of which I couldn't help but facepalm at. :slap

We then get a new character, Cozy Glow.  She is a student at Twilight's School of Friendship, and she is struggling.  So the Cutie Mark Crusaders decide to help her out.

You know what?  I actually like Cozy Glow.  Not just her design, but she has a great personality that blends well with the three.  If she becomes an honorary member of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I'd be all for it.  I do want to see more of her.  Plus, I do want to know what's up with her cutie mark.  Maybe it has something to do with chess.

Her failing was quite a surprise, especially with how much work and effort was put into the whole thing.  We then get the Cutie Mark Crusaders being banned from the School of Friendship.  However, we then find Cozy Glow failed on purpose.  This at least gave Starlight something to do since she was so bored.  It seems Starlight's "evil side" still exists to some degree.  Anyways, we then have everything worked out.  Cozy Glow confesses to everything she did and then we get a big surprise.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders not only graduate without even attending, but also become honorary tutors.  Like I said, if it wasn't for the ending, it would be forgettable in the end.  Instead, we get a big change for the Cutie Mark Crusaders.  Hopefully, we can see more out of it.


Overall, an okay episode that's mostly forgettable, save for the ending.

Next time, the Mane Six seemingly turn to The Dark Side.

See ya later! :wave

~EXTRA POST~

Okay, I wish to talk about something with this.  It's something I've noticed.  It's that this season actually has a major theme going for itself so far.  That theme is "change".  I mean, just think of how much things have changed since the start.

Episode 1 & 2 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
The School of Friendship is opened.  We get the Mane Six becoming teachers, Twilight doubling as a principal, a new cast of characters (all of which are different races) and Starlight becoming a Friendship Counselor.  All of which fighting a racist unicorn to keep the place open.


Episode 3 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
Maud gets a boyfriend. (Albeit one I hate with a passion.  I feel she deserves better.)


Episode 5 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
Rainbow Dash becomes part of Granny Smith and her friends' club.


Episode 10 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
Sugar Belle is getting tutored by Ms. Cake, thus making her able to spend more time with Big Mac.


Episode 11 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
Spike FINALLY gets his wings.


Episode 12 -
Spoiler: ShowHide
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are made Honorary Tutors of The School of Friendship.


A little more than half of the episodes so far revolved around making changes happen. (Very few of which I disapproved of.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Episode 3 and 5 in particular.
) It's making me wonder how many more episodes will push for making changes happen.

I guess we'll see.

Just a little something I wanted to bring up.

See ya later! :wave

First of all, I'm really glad we now actually have spoiler tags, much like what I've seen over on BZPower.com, so this will make these posts seem much cleaner from now on (though I'm not going to make the effort of editing all of my previous reviews in this topic).

Anyway, another week means another Equestria Girls short now on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/06/equestria-girls-turf-war-short-now-on.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/06/equestria-girls-turf-war-short-now-on.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJUx6bLiDs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHJUx6bLiDs)
Spoiler: ShowHide
At the beach, lifeguard Timber Spruce is joined by substitute lifeguard Applejack. The former tries to relax as there's usually not much going on, while the latter wants to always be ready for anything. It's not long before the two of them try to outdo each other by trying to help anyone around them. But when they both try to rescue Bulk Biceps at the same time, they realize how silly they've been behaving and agree to work together.

So it seems Rainbow Dash isn't the only one Applejack can get competitive with, and we finally got to see Timber Spruce interacting with one of the Main 7 that isn't Twilight. Not much else for me to say here, but this is apparently the last of the beach-themed shorts. Now, just a few more regular shorts left to go, along with the rest of those "choose your own ending" shorts (of which only four have been released on YouTube so far).


And here's my review for this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Before I start, I'd like to mention that even though this episode has been leaked, released early in a different language, and then released early again in English, I somehow managed to not encounter any major spoilers, especially considering that I had continued visiting the sites I typically visit with no real effort to be careful of spoilers. Pretty much the only thing I knew ahead of today's official airing is that Chrysalis comes back for revenge, and we end up seeing that even before the intro starts. Anyway, onto my review.

The Main 6 and Starlight Glimmer are preparing for a camping trip out in the forest near the Tree of Harmony, but first they have to go through a scheduled photo shoot before they leave. The highly eccentric photographer rushes through everything by taking unprofessional pictures and taking a strand of hair from each of the Main 6 before quickly leaving. Out in a hidden part of the forest, the photographer is revealed to be Queen Chrysalis seeking revenge against the Main 6 and especially Starlight. Her plan is to use a dark magic spell that requires a picture and hair strand of particular ponies (combined with organic material from some trees, and marked with the cutie marks of those ponies) to make copies of them that would be capable to using the Elements of Harmony, thus giving her the power to take over Equestria.

Almost immediately, Chrysalis's plan begins to fall apart. The copies of the Main 6 that are created turn out to be very much like the Discorded versions previously seen way back in the season 2 premiere: Applejack is a compulsive liar, Rarity is greedy for just about anything she sees, Fluttershy is a total bully to everyone around her, Pinkie Pie is perpetually bored, Rainbow Dash doesn't care at all about anyone or anything, and Twilight Sparkle pretty much has her own selfish agenda in mind. The copies are not only highly disobedient of Chrysalis (much to her obvious frustration), but they also struggle to agree on much of anything, so they inevitably end up splitting up. At the same time, the real Main 6 and Starlight also somehow get split up on their way through the forest. As a result, the originals and copies end up encountering each other in various ways, and the originals never realize that the copies aren't their friends.

Eventually, a huge web of misunderstandings leaves the original Main 6 and Starlight arguing with each other. However, they've been such good friends for so long that after talking things out, they settle their differences and continue with their camping trip. Meanwhile, the copy Main 6 and Chrysalis finally reach the Tree of Harmony, but in their attempt to take the Elements, the Tree apparently seems to recognize that the copies are unworthy fakes, and it ends up destroying them. With the copies reduced to the pieces of wood they once were, Chrysalis's plan fails and she is forced to once again flee, while the real Main 6 and Starlight remain blissfully unaware that Chrysalis had tried to do anything to them.

To be honest, I actually quite liked this episode. Almost as soon as we see Chrysalis revealed, it's obvious that without anyone around to obey her, she has gotten very desperate and perhaps gone a little crazy from that kind of loneliness. And of course, her attempt to make obedient copies of the Main 6 instead creates discorded copies. Since they're pretty much just like what we saw way back in the Season 2 premiere, we already know what they're like (except for Twilight who lasted for only a minute or two back then, so it was nice we got a full episode to really see her selfish behavior), so I found it rather amusing how they interacted not only between each other and with Chrysalis, but also in random groups with the real Main 6 and Starlight. The way the copies were ultimately destroyed was something I found surprisingly graphic for a show like this (kind of reminded me of the ending of the Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, for some reason). Finally, Chrysalis's attempt at revenge fails and she flees once more, which I somehow found quite amusing. I can't quite explain it, but there's something about villains whose attempts to beat the good guys always end up failing in catastrophic and comical ways that I find very entertaining. I'm somehow completely okay with seeing Chrysalis reduced to a has-been wannabe type of villain with antics that are reminiscent of older cartoons.


And that's the end of this first half of Season 7, which also happens to be the last of the leaked episodes. With the exception of episode synopsis for the rest of the season (which we would know about ahead of their airings anyway) and part of an upcoming Equestria Girls special, all of the leaked content is now officially behind us.

~REVIEW POST~

Okay, maybe I was a bit harsh in my first reaction, but I still don't like this one.  Spoilers below.

Spoiler: ShowHide
Let me start by saying that I like the idea of evil doppelgangers in general.  It's interesting to see how an evil version of a character would be and how they would act around those that said character knows.  It's a fun idea.  However, there is a rule that I feel must be followed.  If it fails, it can lead to me being disappointed.  So let's get to this.

It's not surprising that Queen Chrysalis would seek revenge after what Starlight and Co did.  I mean, she has no loyal minions, her home was destroyed, she's probably even starving out there.  So yeah, life sucks for her.  So what does she do?  She creates evil doppelgangers of the Mane Six.

As anyone can guess, this falls apart easily.  They are the Discorded Versions that we saw back in Season 2.  We get a liar, a bully, someone who has WAY too much greed, someone who has all of the fun sucked out of them and someone who just cares about themselves.  This team was doomed to failure from the start.  The only one that really didn't get an evil version back then was Twilight.  I must say, I like Evil Twilight a lot.  Evil Twilight is one of those cunning villains.  She's the best of the bunch and she had her own plan to betray Chrysalis.

As expected, the evil doppelgangers interact with those the originals care about.  However, it seems that the evil ones couldn't tell which ones were on their side.  This leads to some interesting interactions between the two.  Evil Twilight gets annoyed by Good Pinkie. (To her credit, Evil Twilight did pay attention to get information out of her.) Good Fluttershy gets lost, Evil Rainbow Dash doesn't help her and the animals hate her. (An event she gets VERY distraught over.  In fact, I dare say it nearly breaks her.) Greedy Rarity steals everything from Applejack's cart.  Lying Applejack says horrible things about Starlight right to her.

However, there is one point where the writers dropped the ball.  The evil doppelgangers never ran into their exact counterparts.  Ever!  I'm sorry, but this something that MUST happen.  We got what was expected; the evil version interacting with those they care about, creating hurt and distrust in the original.  However, for this to be truly resolved, the original must come face to face with their evil counterpart.  This allows the original (and loved ones) to find out that the one causing all the problems was an evil version of the original.  This creates an understanding and realization of everything that happened.  This is how it should be and it's sad the writers never went this route.  In the end, the originals never figure out what really happened and are just confused about it all.

Instead, we have the originals apologizing for things they didn't do and the evil counterparts get killed off by The Tree of Harmony.  Wow!  Talk about a lame resolution!


An okay episode, but the writers dropped the ball on the most important part of the story.  Which is just sad.

With that, we now go on hiatus.  When we get off this hiatus, Discord and Starlight become rivals.

Until then, see ya later! :wave

The main series may be on hiatus now, but there's still the Equestria Girls shorts coming out each week, so here's this week's new release to YouTube.

It's the last day of the school year, and Twilight and Rainbow's respective attitudes about it couldn't be any more different. Rainbow Dash is very bored and impatient that she has to wait all day for school to end, while Twilight is very nervous about having only one day to finish all of her extra credit work. When the end of the school day finally arrives, Rainbow is excited, while Twilight is absolutely terrified. Rainbow is able to calm Twilight by convincing her that she could go to the library to read whatever she wants, so they and their friends are happy as they leave school.

I found it rather amusing how Twilight and Rainbow displayed practically opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of their thoughts on being in school, particularly for the last day of the year before summer vacation. Not much else to say here, though it was nice how Rainbow was able to help Twilight be more relaxed once the end of the day arrived.

Fluttershy decides to make a video advertising the animal shelter for pet adoptions, however she is naturally very shy and struggles to say the right things while recording herself. After several attempts and being dissatisfied with the results, she next tries recording only the animals, but that doesn't go any better. When Twilight and Applejack arrive to check on her, she's completely disappointed, but after watching her recordings, they actually like what they see and, with some editing, are able to help her complete the video advertisement.

We all know about Fluttershy's stage fright, so of course it would make sense that she would be camera shy as well. Thankfully, she has good friends to help her out. What I found amusing about the finished video was how it appeared to start off like one of those long and somber animal shelter ads that I'm sure we've all seen, but after only a few seconds it suddenly shifts to a more fun and upbeat style.

Twilight, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash meet at the 50s-style diner where Pinkie Pie works. As she is working, Pinkie notices various other people in the diner having problems, and sets up each of her friends to help them out: Flash Sentry is studying for a math test and gets help from Twilight, one girl stains her dress and Rarity helps to repair and improve it, and the Crystal Prep swim team coming off a loss receive some helpful advice from Rainbow Dash. When one of Pinkie's coworkers is impressed and asks how she always knows exactly what everyone needs, Pinkie just remarks that she has a sense for these things.

While I wouldn't exactly call it Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense", Pinkie did show how remarkably observant she can be whenever someone is having issues with something, and is quite good at figuring out the right person to help solve their problems.


Recently, there's been rumors of an upcoming Equestria Girls one-hour special called "Rollercoaster of Friendship". Don't know much else beyond that, but definitely worth keeping an eye on.

EqD may be a day late mentioning it, but they still got around to mentioning this week's YouTube release of the Equestria Girls shorts.

This is a music video featuring Applejack cleaning up the barn next to her house and redecorating it for some country themed party with her friends and some other CHS students.

I don't have much to say for this one since I have very little interest in country themes and music. Though I will point out that we got to see some of the interior of Applejack's house, including her bedroom (which means that of the Equestria Girls main 7, the only one whose bedroom we still haven't seen yet is Fluttershy).


In addition, I was very surprised that the next Equestria Girls special "Rollercoaster of Friendship" apparently aired yesterday afternoon.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/equestria-girls-special-rollercoaster.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/equestria-girls-special-rollercoaster.html)
I was lucky enough last night to have enough time to watch it, thanks to the link provided on this page. Of course, much like Forgotten Friendship, this first release is the 44-minute version for TV broadcast, and presumably there will be some additional content that we won't see until it's later release on YouTube as five 10-minute parts. Anyway, here's my review of the whole special.
Spoiler: ShowHide
This special takes place at a theme park called "Equestria Land", where social media celebrity Vignette Valencia (had to look up the MLP Wiki to make sure I got that name right) is planning the parade that will be on opening day, though she's struggling to get things done in a way that would satisfy her. However, yet another loose piece of Equestrian magic comes along, in this case altering her smartphone so that anything she takes a picture of immediately disappears and she can then create altered holograms of those objects.

Rarity and Applejack both apply for a summer job to run the caramel apple stand at the theme park, but while Applejack is rejected, Rarity is instead offered the position of lead fashion designer for the parade, which she accepts despite Applejack's disappointment of not being able to work with her. Later, Rarity invites her friends to the park to meet her employer, Vignette, who upon hearing of them as the band "the Rainbooms" eagerly decides to put them in the parade. While Rarity continues working, the others go off to explore the park. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy go on a roller coaster, Twilight and Sunset try out a ring toss game, Pinkie Pie takes on a self-imposed duty of "fun inspector", and Applejack discovers that Micro Chips got the job she had applied for.

Vignette takes Fluttershy aside to share her vision for the Rainbooms' upcoming show, but when Fluttershy refuses to go along with it, Vignette uses her magic-powered phone to make her disappear. Applejack tries to find Fluttershy, but all of her friends are too preoccupied to bother. Eventually, an incompetent security guard allows Applejack to use the park's security cameras and ends up watching Vignette use her magical phone to make Rainbow Dash disappear too. With the rest of her friends with Vignette, Applejack confronts her, but she plays innocent. It's not long before Rarity and Applejack get into a big argument, with Rarity accusing Applejack of being jealous for not getting the job, and Applejack accusing Rarity of being so caught up in her new job that she doesn't even care about her friends. When some really hurtful words are spoken, they both agree to just walk away.

Vignette approaches the three remaining girls (Twilight, Sunset, and Pinkie) and shares her latest ideas for their band, even changing their name. The girls refuse to perform, especially without any of their friends, so Vignette digitally traps them too, then replaces them all on the stage with altered holograms. When Rarity returns and sees for herself the true extent that Vignette seems to care only for herself, Rarity escapes the same fate as her friends (thanks to her magical powers) and catches up to Applejack. They both apologize to each other and agree to work together to free their missing friends.

From within the completely featureless area the girls are trapped in, Twilight is able to call Applejack and tries to explain her plan to get them out of Vignette's phone, but Applejack hears her voice elsewhere and discovers they were actually just teleported into an empty room all along. However, they realize that if Vignette decides to get rid of a displeased crowd, they would become dangerously crowded into a tiny room, so the girls quickly confront her just as the parade starts, and transform into magical ponied-up forms to destroy Vignette's magical phone. As they talk about things, Vignette eventually admits that despite having millions of followers online, she doesn't actually have any true friends, which Rarity and Applejack are happy to offer.

Okay, I have to say, this special was nowhere near as great as Forgotten Friendship was. The antagonist seemed very hard to sympathize with (probably because I've never really cared for any of that social media hype), and the magical powers she was given initially seemed like a repeat of Mirror Magic, only to later be reveled to be even more underwhelming as simply teleporting things to some empty room (though I will admit the threat of doing it to a huge crowd of people is legitimate). On the plus side, this special focuses on Applejack and Rarity rather than Twilight or Sunset, so at least we can be sure that any potential future specials can focus on any of the other characters. Even so, I'd rank this as among my least favorite installments in the Equestria Girls series.

So, a bit of an announcement!  On Friday, the 20th, Discovery Family is airing a new episode of My Little Pony at 11:30 AM Eastern.  At least, that is according to Zap2it.

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/possible-early-season-8-mlp-episode-for.html

If it is airing, I'll post my new plan for that day. (Seeing as how my work schedule has changed since the start of the hiatus and all.) We shall see.

I'll tell you all come Wednesday.

See ya later! :wave

To be honest, I find that to be a rather silly reason to not watch any Equestria Girls content. Okay, I'm not even going to bother with spoilers this time. At the very least, I would highly recommend watching Forgotten Friendship (there are five ten-minute parts, alternatively titled "Most Likely to be Forgotten"), if only to see Sunset Shimmer return to Equestria and finally reconcile with Princess Celestia. (I'm sure you can find the links I posted if you look back a few pages.)

With that out of the way, here's this week's YouTube release of the Equestria Girls shorts.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/mlp-equestria-girls-so-much-more-to-me.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/mlp-equestria-girls-so-much-more-to-me.html)

This is a music video featuring Fluttershy who, after refusing to join her friends for karaoke due to her stage fright, sings about how she's much more comfortable singing while completely alone and with only the shelter animals as her audience.

This short is clearly referencing a certain Season 4 episode that revealed Fluttershy has a beautiful singing voice, but is way too shy to perform in front of anyone. I personally don't care much for these musical shorts, but I can see why this one in particular would be considered among the best.


And that's the last of this group of Equestria Girls shorts. Now all that's left (that we know of) are the rest of the "choose your own ending" shorts, and the five parts of Rollercoaster of Friendship. (I recently rewatched that special and I believe that for the probable additional content, there will be not much in parts 1 and 5, about a minute each in parts 2 and 3, and up to four minutes in part 4, but this theory is based only on the time I noticed between each break, so we won't know for sure until they officially release.)

Okay, so here's the deal.  A new episode will be airing this Friday on Discovery Family at 11 AM Pacific/2 PM Eastern.  It'll be the episode titled Yakity-Sax, which was meant to be Episode 18.  They are currently skipping Episode 14, A Matter of Principals and setting it for a later date.  Australia will be showing Episode 14 July 29th.

Anyways, with all this, I have carefully made plans.  Tomorrow night, I will post the summary, but it will be earlier than usual due to me having an early morning work schedule.

At just after 7 AM Pacific/10 AM Eastern, I will post the Live Stream link as it'll be my Meal Break by then.  I won't be able to watch the Live Stream, but it'll be there for those that want to.

When I get home from work, I will watch the episode because they will likely have the online version up by then, which I will post a link for.

Likely later that day, I shall give my review when I've properly thought about how I feel about the episode.

When August rolls round and they start regularly airing new episodes, I'll have more of an idea of what I'll do then.

So, that's how things will go.

Until next time, see ya! :wave

At this point, it seems everything is set for tomorrow.  I won't be on a computer until tomorrow during my meal break at work.  However, at that time, I plan to post the Live Stream link.  For now, here's the summary for tomorrow's episode.

----------
Season 8 Episode 18

Title: Yakity-Sax

Summary: Pinkie Pie has a new hobby that she absolutely loves - playing the Zenithrash. But when her friends discourage her from playing due to her lack of skill, it causes a series of events leading to Pinkie Pie possibly leaving Ponyville forever!

Yep, we get back with a Pinkie Pie centered episode.  Probably not much, but hopefully it's good.

Again, expect the Live Stream link tomorrow morning.

Until next time, see ya later! :wave

Just as I suspected, the next set of Equestria Girls shorts being released on YouTube are the rest of those "choose your own ending" shorts, of which only four were previously released way back in February.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/mlp-equestria-girls-stressed-in-show.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/mlp-equestria-girls-stressed-in-show.html)
And here's the direct link (keep in mind that for these types of shorts, you have to choose one of three possible endings when you get to the end of the starting video, which is the one that I'm linking to here):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ2bI4sV528 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ2bI4sV528)
Had to look back a few pages on this topic to remind myself how I reviewed these type of shorts.
Spoiler: ShowHide
The girls are rehearsing for the upcoming school play, but Twilight has gotten so stressed out over it that it's starting to affect her performance. Twilight clearly needs to take a break from the play, so Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie each offer to help her relax.

Choose Rainbow Dash: Rainbow's idea involves all kinds of physical activity. Twilight is rather out of shape, but one training montage later, not only has Twilight started showing signs of improving, but she is also pleased that all that activity helped to keep her mind off the play and thus finds herself free of all that stress.

Choose Fluttershy: Fluttershy decides to take Twilight out on a nature walk. At first, Fluttershy's efforts end up being a little problematic as she somehow keeps unintentionally saying something that reminds Twilight of the play, which instantly brings her stress levels back up whenever it happens. Fluttershy ultimately resorts to applying pure animal cuteness, which finally gets Twilight so relaxed that she ends up taking a nap in the woods while cuddling with some woodland critters.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Throughout the day for Twilight, Pinkie keeps popping out of random places and offering all kinds of crazy ideas for reducing stress. Eventually, Twilight can't take it anymore and calls out Pinkie for making her feel so paranoid all day about when and where she'll show up next, only to then suddenly realize that those worries actually managed to keep her mind off the play for a while, which means that in this particular case, there really was a method to Pinkie's madness.

For this one, I think Rainbow Dash was the best choice, because not only did it help Twilight keep her mind off the play, but also provided her with some much needed physical activity and even showed some improvement by the end of it. Fluttershy did a rather good job of helping Twilight relax, though I doubt Twilight would be pleased to wake up and discover she's been cuddling some skunks. Pinkie Pie was definitely my least preferred option, because what she did was essentially trade one source of stress for another, which I seriously doubt would be a realistic solution to the kind of problem Twilight was dealing with.


And of course, here's my review of the new episode that also recently came out.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Pinkie Pie has just taken up a new interest in playing the zenithrash (essentially a giant set of bagpipes), a popular musical instrument from Yakyakistan, and has very quickly become very enthusiastic about it. However, her friends find that she's rather terrible at playing it, but since she only just recently started, they decide to let her keep practicing with the assurance that she'll get better over time. Unfortunately, not only does Pinkie carelessly play her zenithrash at inappropriate times and places, but her skill with it remains awful, and when her latest attempt at playing sends everyone running away, her friends reluctantly tell her that perhaps it's best she stop trying. Publicly, Pinkie makes no big deal about it, but in private, she ends up very depressed.

Later, Pinkie's mood has fallen so dramatically that it becomes very obvious to everyone around (straight hair, all her colors turning grey, and everything she walks by wilts), so her friends try to cheer her up by reminding her of the many other things that she's already really good at, but all of those efforts fail. They eventually decide to make an ultimate attempt by throwing a Pinkie Pie Appreciation Day party and inviting everyone in town, but when they try to invite her outside, they instead find her sister Maud packing all of her things and saying she's doing so because Pinkie has decided to move to Yakyakistan.

The girls quickly travel to Yakyakistan and soon find themselves listening to a yak playing a zenithrash, which they admit actually sounded great. They soon find Pinkie nearby, who confesses that she moved there in hopes of sharing her enthusiasm for the zenithrash with the yaks, but now that she's heard what a good tune from one is supposed to sound like, she has remained depressed because she knows that yaks and their desire for perfection would never approve of her awful efforts. Despite all of that, her friends insist that she at least try to perform in front of the yaks. Remarkably, the yaks are impressed, including the one who had played recently because he considers the zenithrash an instrument that brings happiness to anyone, regardless of how it's play.

I'm not exactly fond of this episode, as I believe both sides could've done something to not make the situation any worse. First, Pinkie should've been much more respectful to not obnoxiously practice that instrument at very inappropriate times and places, such as when Rarity was trying to concentrate on making a dress or when Fluttershy was trying to get her animals to sleep at night. Then when her friends tried to be honest with her about her poor talent with that instrument, they should've told her to be much more respectful of when and where she played it rather than just tell her to stop playing it altogether. The ending does little to address either of those issues, so while I agree with the message that it's okay to do things you like doing, I really think it should've also come with the message of showing some respect for those who may not approve of said hobby.


By the way, I found that, now that the leaked episodes are finally behind us, DailyMotion has now gone back to being a viable option for watching new episodes.

~REVIEW POST~

You know, this one really could have been so much better.  Spoilers below.

Spoiler: ShowHide
You know, it's okay if you want to try something new, so long as it doesn't hurt anyone.  We are encouraged to try new things.  Pinkie wanted to try the zenithrash and fell in love with this instrument.  It's obviously based off bagpipes, but unlike them, this one tends to complement the sound.  I've always found bagpipes to be one of the more annoying instruments.  Even when they're played well they don't sound right to me.  However, this take on it adds in sounds that make it sound amazing... when it's played right.

Yeah, Pinkie Pie sucks at it!  However, that was kind of the point.  It was a lesson of supporting your friends, even if what they are doing they're not good at, but this story felt like it needed an added lesson.  The lesson of respecting others.

This was Pinkie Pie's biggest flaw and why her friends didn't like what she did in the first place.  It really didn't need to go this badly.  They could have had her play the instrument in private and everything would have been okay.  She didn't need to give it up in the first place.  She just needed to be more respectful of others in the end.

Instead, we get quite the mess of an episode that had Pinkie Pie more depressed then I've seen her in a long time.  All of which could have been avoided if her friends just gave her the lesson of respecting others.  She doesn't mature as a character as a result and that's something I want to see more of in Pinkie Pie.


Conclusion, could have been better if they had more than one lesson or a different one all together.

Next episode is in two weeks and we get a double-header!

Until then, see ya! :wave

Post by: The Chronicler on July 28, 2018, 09:30:29 PM
First of all, I should mention that I made an error with my review of the recent new episode. While the episode synopsis identified that instrument Pinkie plays as a "zenithrash", the episode itself identified it as a "yovidaphone" (had to look it up in the MLP Wikia just to be sure I spelled it right). I've heard that the former name couldn't be used for legal reasons, so perhaps that synopsis was just never updated for the change.

Anyway, another Equestria Girls "choose your own ending" short is now on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/rarity-investigates-case-of-bedazzled.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/07/rarity-investigates-case-of-bedazzled.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2XsF-yffw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2XsF-yffw)
Spoiler: ShowHide
During rehearsal, the girls discover that one of the bedazzled boots, the most important prop of the play, has gone missing. Sunset is furious at Snips and Snails, since props were supposed to be their responsibility. Rarity decides to take on her detective persona (previously seen with her pony counterpart in a Season 5 episode) to solve the mystery of the missing boot, and must first decide who she will question.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Almost as soon as Rarity starts questioning, Pinkie immediately confesses, not to stealing the boot, but for accidentally putting a spoon she had used back into a frozen yogurt container. When Rarity finally manages to actually ask Pinkie about the missing boot, she just points out that it was in a nearby box buried under some other costumes.

Choose Trixie: Trixie and Rarity pretty much challenge each other through inner monologues. After a long period of time of just silently staring at each other, Trixie is about to walk out when she steps on some gem fragments. The trail leads to the missing boot with Spike inside it. Spike confesses that he took it because he just wanted to know what it would feel like to be part of the play.

Choose Applejack: Applejack mentions last seeing both boots near the costume rack, so Rarity checks it and discovers Maud Pie holding the missing boot. When Rarity asks why she took it, Maud just states some random gem facts, including the size of the world's largest of a certain type of gem, which leaves Rarity practically entranced with envy. Nobody even reacts when Sunset casually walks by and takes back the missing boot.

What makes this short particularly interesting is that the three options are different in not just who is questioned, but also in the cause behind the missing boot (and if you look closely, you'll also notice that Rarity is wearing a different outfit in each of the three options). For this one, I think Pinkie Pie was the best choice, because while it was only a rather okay ending, that still makes it better than the other two options, in my opinion (not to mention, the cause of the boot going missing seemed most plausible in this ending). The one with Trixie, I can understand why some would find it very amusing, but it's just not my kind of humor. As for Applejack, my least preferred option here, she herself had little to do in this case, Maud seemed to have virtually no motive to take that boot, and Rarity getting distracted like that was just pathetic.


I've heard that at least the next few episodes of the main series will be released early in Australia over the next few weeks. Since these are early releases and not leaks, I'll watch them only once so I won't have to worry about spoilers, but I'll wait until their intended release before I post my reviews on these episodes.

Post by: DarkWolf91 on July 30, 2018, 08:17:35 AM
Hmmm, this one was... Interesting.

Spoiler: ShowHide
I agree with the general consensus that Pinkie's friends could have handled the situation way better, but I don't really think that messed up the episode's message as badly as the ending. I like the thought that it's okay to be bad at something, since everyone's going to be bad at new things when they first start out, but it seems incredibly unrealistic to have the Yaks tell her she sounded great when she was obviously completely unskilled. I think it would have been better to have them encourage her to keep practicing, rather than to imply that her playing was already perfect just because she was having fun. It seemed like a huge cop-out to me. It's healthy to have fun practicing something, but it's no replacement for dedication and the careful curation of a skill.

To start things off, as usual, is this week's YouTube release of another Equestria Girls short.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/equestria-girls-all-worlds-off-stage.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/equestria-girls-all-worlds-off-stage.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7MZkw231cE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7MZkw231cE)
Spoiler: ShowHide
During rehearsal for the school play, there's a problem when Snips and Snails are unable to pull the backdrop fast enough for a smooth scene transition. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, and Micro Chips all offer possible solutions.

Choose Twilight Sparkle: Sunset believes Twilight will use her magical geode powers to telekinetically move the backdrop, but instead Twilight has built a robot perfectly designed for such a task. The robot extends two arms, one grasps onto a solid pipe on the wall and the other grasps onto the backdrop all the way across the stage, and then retracts those arms at just the right speed, proving to be a remarkable success.

Choose Micro Chips: For all the bragging Micro Chips does about being a genius, his solution here is to simply convince Bulk Biceps to haul the backdrop across the stage. Bulk Biceps easily hauls the backdrop, and Micro Chips explains that he was able to use pseudoscience to manipulate Bulk into doing it, though Bulk accidentally breaks one of the props while flexing his muscles.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Sunset is confused by Pinkie setting up a lot of balloons, and Pinkie practically refuses to elaborate on their use in her solution. In the next rehearsal, Pinkie reveals that she's made a whole new backdrop made entirely out of balloons, so all that's needed to move it across the stage is to simply switch on a giant fan.

For this one, I think Twilight Sparkle was the best choice, because I found it to be a remarkable demonstration that she's willing to and capable of not relying on her magic for most of her problems, and we saw another example of just how talented she really is when it comes to robotics. Micro Chips used a solution that I don't think you'd really have to be a genius to come up with, so that was some wasted potential there (though it was nice to have one of these secondary background characters be one of these options in these shorts). Pinkie Pie was my least favorite choice (though still rather good in my opinion) because while it was a rather ingenious solution, it wasn't the original intended backdrop. Also, one thing that all three of these options had in common was Snips and Snails getting a few words in (they complained about Twilight's robot "stealing their jobs", Snips' attempt at mocking Micro Chips gets him burned via scientific lecture, and Snails apparently has a crippling fear of balloons).


As for the episodes, it seems that Australia is going to be airing two of them every weekend, which means we could possibly see the end of the season just one month from now, over a month earlier than the US schedule. In other words, it looks like we may have another situation like what we had with the Canadian broadcast of the first half of Season 7. And just when we finally put all the leaks behind us. I remember in earlier seasons when it was rare for an episode to show before its intended US release for any reason at all, but now it seems the reverse has become true in which it is now a novelty for an episode's intended US release to be its first showing anywhere.

With that out of the way, onto my reviews. First, Episode 14...
Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight has arranged a scavenger hunt for the students, but suddenly finds herself called by the Cutie Map, along with all five of her friends to a place so far away that it's at the edge of the map. Fortunately, Twilight had planned ahead for such a possibility and arranges for Starlight to fill in for her as head mare. As soon as the Main 6 leave, Discord suddenly shows up and acts as if he's automatically in charge of the school, despite Starlight and Spike pointing out that Twilight clearly put Starlight in charge.

The first day, Discord just goes ahead anyway and hires a bunch of poorly qualified teachers (Iron Will, Cranky Doodle Donkey, and a dragon sneeze tree) all of whom cause major problems. Starlight kicks Discord out of the school, and the next day hires some new substitute teachers (Trixie, Maud Pie, and Spitfire) not quite as good as the Main 6 but definitely better than Discord's picks. But again, Discord shows up and is a deliberate nuisance at every class he visits. When one of his antics risks serious harm to some of the students, Starlight puts her hoof down, and when Discord shrugs it off with a petty insult, Starlight uses a magic spell to banish him from the school grounds.

Later, the scavenger hunt finally gets underway, but again, Discord is around to deliberately cause trouble, this time being in ghost form to get around the banishing spell. Starlight gets things back under control again and calls out Discord... and apologizes to him, realizing that he felt left out and wanted to to be part of the school. Once Discord puts everything back to normal, Starlight agrees to hire him as an assistant, much to the displeasure of the students. However, the Main 6 return and it turns out Discord had faked their Cutie Map mission, so it turns out it was all a big setup all along, and Discord immediately loses his chance at involvement in the School of Friendship.

I have to say, this episode really put Discord in a bad light. The way I see it, the lesson of this episode is that if you feel left out and want involvement in something, don't be a huge jerk about it, just ask. In addition, I had completely expected Starlight to eventually lose her temper and use magic to get rid of Discord much to the shock of the students, though at least she was quick to assure them that all she did was banish him from school grounds. On a more positive note, we got to see more of the Young 6 (at this point, we can now say for sure that Gallus is a slacker and Ocellus is quite a bookworm). We even got a callback with Spike pointing out how terribly things went the last time he tried to fill in for Twilight.


And now for Episode 15...
Spoiler: ShowHide
The holidays have arrived, which means the students at the School of Friendship are about to leave for a two-week winter break. But just as everyone leaves the main room, a cloaked figure dumps a gooey mess onto the decorations and flees to the student housing area, where it is soon determined that the culprit could only be one of the Young 6. All of them deny doing anything wrong, so Twilight and Rainbow Dash have the Young 6 start cleaning while they question them one at a time. The consequences for the culprit will be to stay at the school over winter break for private lessons, and if none of them confess, all of them will have to stay and miss out on the holidays with their families.

As Twilight and Rainbow start questioning them, the Young 6 talk about the kind of holidays they each celebrate at home. Ocellus talks about Hearth Warming Eve being recently introduced to the Changelings, and although they managed to misinterpret just about every aspect of it, she's still proud of her society now having their own new traditions. Yona talks about a festival that (rather predictably) involves a lot of smashing stuff, but at least there's one part about doing good things for friends and family. Smolder mentions the closest thing dragons have to a holiday is where some dragons gather together and tell stories and whoever tells the best one wins a pile of gems, though what dragons consider great stories typically involve bad endings for the weak. Sandbar obviously celebrates Hearth's Warming with his family, though he doesn't really have much to share beyond the typical traditions. Silverstream explains a three-day celebration, the first day (and the original one-day version of the holiday) takes place in Seaquestria in honor of it protecting them from the Storm King, the second day takes place on Mount Aris in honor of their freedom from the Storm King, and the third day happens in both places to celebrate their unity, all finishing off with Queen Novo handing out gifts to everyone. Finally, Gallus mentions that the griffin holiday is actually little more than an excuse to barely tolerate each other.

With still nobody confessing, the Young 6 eventually start arguing with each other, until finally Gallus admits that it was him. Unlike the rest of them, he doesn't have any family at home, and with his friends being the closest he's ever had to such a thing, he decided to make that mess with the intent that cleaning it up would keep them together a little longer, but he never intended to ruin anyone's holiday. Twilight and Rainbow Dash overhear his apology, and although they're proud of him for being honest, he still has to face the consequences of staying at the school for private lessons. However, now aware of Gallus' situation at home, the rest of the Young 6 volunteer to stay at the school with him so they can all celebrate the holidays together.

What I really liked about this episode is not only learning about the holiday traditions among the other creatures, but also we got to see glimpses of the families of the Young 6. In previous episodes, we already met Silverstream's family, and we already heard that Smolder has an older brother. This time, we saw that Sandbar has his parents and a baby sister; Yona has an extended family of her parents, her grandparents, and a younger brother and sister; Ocellus presumably has her parents and two younger siblings; and Gallus has no family at all. In addition, I have to admit that the events of this episode definitely earned it's title (if you can recall a certain movie from the 80s). And it's nice that once everyone knew what Gallus has been missing out on his whole life, everyone was willing to pass on spending the holidays at home in order to give him a holiday celebration he could actually enjoy.


By the way, I'd like to mention I'm now willing to watch videos on Mega just as fine as on Sendvid. It turns out the issue I previously had with Mega was that, unlike Sendvid, you can't actually see how long you have to wait for it to finish buffering, so just leaving it paused for a while (around ten minutes by my guess) as soon as you start the video will be enough to prevent any lagging while watching it. (Just as well, since it seems the only truly reliable source for watching the US broadcast of these episodes prefers to upload exclusively to Mega.)

There's quite a lively dramatic reading community on YouTube dedicated to bringing pony fanfics to an audio level. I actually prefer listening to darkfics more than anything else. The well-written ones, anyway. I guess I have a attachment to the macabre. The following link is a good example of a pony darkfic done right:

No, I have not gotten around to watching the episodes yet.  I'll get to them though.  From now on though, no more planning as to WHEN I watch the episodes.  Just be patient.  The reviews are coming.

~REVIEW POST~

So here we are at last.  Here's my thoughts on the episodes.  Spoilers below.

Let's start with Episode 14.

Spoiler: ShowHide
You know, I think I understand where they were trying to go with Discord.  I mean, there's a reason the fandom sees him as a troll.  He wants to be included in things, even when the Mane 7 don't think it's a good idea.  So yeah, not surprised he felt left out.

What I'm surprised with though is that no one invited Discord to The School of Friendship in the first place.  You would think at the very least Fluttershy would during one of their tea meetings. (Or were those cancelled due to Fluttershy now having a teaching job?) Heck, Discord could have been a big help in the first two episodes of the season to take care of a certain racist unicorn now that I think about it.

Still, it's shocking how far he went.  All he had to do was ask and this whole bad episode could have been avoided.  On the bright side, maybe Discord will appear at The School of Friendship more.  Could be a lot of fun.


A bad episode, but maybe it'll cause good things to come in the future.  We'll have to see.

Off-Topic: ShowHide
Before I get to the next one, let me explain why I did a MEGA link in the first place for it.  It's because I was left with little choice.  At the time I posted the link, EqD only had a YouTube link, and you can guess how much I trust YouTube to keep the link up long enough.  No one had set up a SendVid link. (Not even the one I usually trust to have it up.) I see SendVid as the main place that pony episode videos should be uploaded.  Yes, it needs to convert them, but it's worth it.  There's very little buffering to deal with.  Not to mention that they'll stay up long enough for others to watch them.

Anyways, since there wasn't a SendVid link, I had to settle with a MEGA link I found in the comments of EqD (Which I'll remind you I'm trying to avoid after certain past events happened.) and make others suffer the bad amount of buffering.  They need to learn, MEGA is not that great for the audience.  They need to understand this.

So, yeah.  That's what happened.  Maybe I was a little impatient, as there is a SendVid link now, but I wanted to get it up as soon as possible.
Anyways, here's my thoughts on Episode 15.  Spoilers below.

Spoiler: ShowHide
You know, this episode was quite interesting and very world building.  We got to learn the traditions of the 5 races we were introduced to over the years.  The changelings messing up the Pony Traditions and making their own was a joy to watch.
 Smolder's story was nice to listen to until the ending. (Seriously, that ending is messed up.) The Yak holiday was predictable with having lots of smashing.  However, it's nice to see that they had something that didn't involve smashing added to it.  The Seapony/Hippogriff holiday I wish I got to know more about.  It's 3 days instead of one and they were all given the short version, but it feels like something was left out.  The griffon holiday doesn't have much.  Just them trying to be nicer to one another.

Gallus ruining all of the stuff was surprising.  However, they then go into his backstory.  Turns out, that old griffon we saw him with isn't really his grandfather.  You could argue that Gallus is the first orphan character of the show. (Scootaloo doesn't count!
 That's a fan-theory at best!) It's surprising this was brought up.

Then the other members of the Student Six decide to stay so that Gallus can know what it's like to have an actual holiday. (Although Smolder goes along with it begrudgingly.) I don't know how to feel about that.

On the one hand, it's nice that they are letting their friend spend the holidays with them.

On the other though, they get to miss out with their families, which is what the holidays is about.  I understand that he is forced to stay behind due to what he did, but at the very least, Twilight could have had him spend the holidays with her and made the rest go back to their families.  This way, he wouldn't feel left out of the holidays in the end.

So yeah, don't know where to go with that.


Good world-building episode, but the ending makes me feel mixed.

Next time, we have Starswirl returning.  Let's see how that goes.

Until then, see ya later! :wave

As usual, there's the next Equestria Girls short now available on YouTube.

And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYpPOiQBpI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYpPOiQBpI)
Spoiler: ShowHide
Applejack is working alone on building the sets for the play. Sunset is concerned they might not be ready in time for the play later that week, but Applejack assures her that her philosophy of "measure twice and cut once" is worth the effort. Unfortunately, during their conversation, Applejack accidentally pounds a hammer against her hand. With her hand bandaged and advised by the nurse to not do any heavy work for the next few days, Applejack has no choice but to ask someone for assistance.

Choose Rainbow Dash: Applejack insists on Rainbow Dash paying very close attention to all the details in the blueprints, but rather predictably, Rainbow just goes ahead and speeds through the whole construction, despite Applejack's numerous protests. When the dust settles, the finished set isn't what Applejack asked for, but actually even better. It turns out that in Rainbow's haste, she had ended up taking instructions not from the blueprints but rather from the dreamboard Applejack had made for things she wanted on the set but knew she'd never have time to actually include. Though whatever respect Rainbow gets from Applejack is lost when she admits to finding Applejack's diary left open.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Pinkie needs to practice for her drum solo for the play, but she insists she can do that and help build the set at the same time. When Pinkie at one point in her practice session swaps out her drumsticks for a pair of hammers, Applejack realizes Pinkie's plan, so she guides her around the set and in almost no time, construction on the set is fully completed.

Choose Photo Finish: Almost immediately, Photo Finish insists on doing things entirely her way. Applejack is very confused by the explanation, and Photo Finish's argument of "look with your heart, not your eyes" does little help her make sense of it. When Photo Finish claims the set is complete, the stage initially looks completely empty, but then it turns out that she actually created the full set in the form of a laser display, which Applejack admits is rather impressive.

For this one, I think Rainbow Dash was the best choice, because she managed to finish building the set both quickly and with results even better than anticipated. Pinkie was also a good choice, as despite a rather unorthodox method, she rather quickly finished building the set with satisfactory results. Photo Finish, on the other hand, had one of those out there solutions that I don't think would really be practical at all. By the way, when you consider that this short was first released by Discovery Family back in December last year, this actually counts as the very first appearance of Nurse Redheart's human counterpart; all fans (myself included) were convinced since the very first movie that she would fill the role of school nurse at CHS, and now we finally got confirmation of that.


And here's my review of today's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight and Rarity are reading over some postcards sent by Starswirl the Bearded on his travels across Equestria when Cozy Glow comes in with the mail delivery, which includes fliers of some place called "Friendship University", which claims teaching friendship lessons in half the time. Curious, Twilight and Rarity head over to Las Pegasus to see it for themselves, and discover that this school is being run by none other than Flim and Flam. Naturally, Twilight and Rarity suspect a scam, but things get really complicated when Chancellor Neighsay (still obviously sticking to his ponies-only prejudice) shows up with plans to accredit that school. Even more unsettling for Twilight, one of the enrolled students turns out to be Starswirl himself, and apparently that's all Neightsay needs to immediately accredit Friendship University.

With Starswirl following the lesson he had previously learned of looking for the good in everyone, he is not so quick to distrust Flim and Flam, but Twilight remains convinced that they're up to no good. Rarity comes up with the idea of investigating undercover, and sets up herself and Twilight with disguises. While Rarity enrolls as a student named "Plainity", Twilight sneaks into the office for information. Unfortunately, Twilight fails to find anything suspicious, and worse, Flim and Flam see right through that pathetic disguise Rarity had given her, and they essentially blackmail her into stopping the investigation. When Twilight and Rarity meet up, Twilight is crestfallen and seriously considering giving up when Rarity casually mentions that while Friendship University has free tuition, she would need a lot of funds to afford all the worksheets she needs for the classes. They both quickly realize that it's the worksheets that form the scam, and soon discover that the only reason Starswirl never suspected it was because he was the only one given complete exemption from payments due to his status, while everypony else has to pay some insanely high fees.

Twilight comes up with a plan to expose the scam. She observes how Flim and Flam open their secret vault and overhears their plan to use the funds from the students to expand their resort complex, and while that forces them to take back their threat of blackmail, they do reveal that the lesson plans they used for the school are actually just a direct copy of the curriculum from Twilight's school, expect with half of the pages randomly torn out. Not only that, Rarity also overhears the conversation and reveals her true identity (although they're not really familiar with her anyway), and also reveals that she got Starswirl to also overhear their rotten plans. With no way out, Flim and Falm have no choice but to shut down Friendship University and completely refund all of the students. Although everything turns out alright in the end, Twilight is still left wondering how Flim and Flam actually managed to get their hooves on a copy of her school's guidebook in the first place.

While it was interesting to see Starswirl adapting quite well to modern Equestria, this episode didn't really focus on him all that much. Instead, it was all about Flim and Flam and their latest scam. What makes this one especially notable is that Neighsay didn't even bother looking into any of their business practices and essentially just gives them the all-clear just because Starswirl happened to be there. When you also consider that Friendship University's curriculum was literally a word-for-word copy of half the pages from Twilight's School of Friendship, that tells me Neighsay has essentially got quite a personal vendetta against Twilight. (I honestly can't help but draw some parallels with today's political environment.) While Flim and Flam have been foiled once more, I'm suspecting that there's a bigger conspiracy going on here, and we may not know for sure until the season finale.


(By the way, even though I really would prefer Sendvid, I just couldn't watch the one in that link because it was quickly obvious the audio was slightly lagging behind the video (though I'm sure that was probably due to recording issues rather than the site itself), so once again I'm glad that I can now consider Mega as a viable alternative.)

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's hard to say.  There's both good and bad parts.  It's not a great movie.  In fact, "good" could be pushing it.  The main problem is pacing issues.  It is highly argued that this could have been a two-parter and been okay.  However, it does do quite a bit of world building for Equestria.  It even includes one species we had been waiting for... seaponies.  How that works, you might be surprised with.

There's also the problem of the villain.  One of the worst, IMO. (I'd put them in the level of Starlight and Sunset Shimmer.) So much build-up and boy does it come crashing down.  You have the second in command being the main star villain, which isn't that good to begin with, but when you get to the master, it's bad.  Just warning you there.

Despite this, best not to skip it as they talk about it in the latest season.  So, watch it purely for that and do your best to not expect something good.  That's as far as I would go.

So I have made a decision.  I have lost interest in watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic weekly.

Here's the deal.  I more enjoy binge watching a series.  I would rather wait until an entire season finishes and then watch it in as few sittings as possible.  Most of it on my TV attached to my computer.  Just sit on my couch and lose myself. (Until it's time for bed, of course.) It's difficult for me to watch something weekly. (The exceptions have been American Ninja Warrior and the new Ducktales.)

As such, I won't be doing reviews anymore.  I'm sorry, but this is for the best.

Now don't worry too much.  I'll make sure you can watch it.  I'll provide both MEGA and SendVid from now on.  SendVid will take a bit, but MEGA will be up minutes after I get home from work.

Live Stream posts will be a case by case basis.  This all depends on if EqD gets their post up before I head to work on Saturday.

Summary posts aren't going anywhere.  They will be posted the day before the episode airs.

So that's the way it'll go.  I know it sucks that my reviews have to go, but it's for the best.

So in the end, no reviews from me.  Sorry, but I've lost interest in doing it weekly.

That's all from me.

See ya later! :wave

So it seems I'm now the only one who's willing to talk about each new episode. I'm not going to lie, this will make me feel a little lonely, but I do seem to recall one or two other members once mentioning that they do read my reviews, so I'll just continue with it.

Anyway, remember when I recently said how it's now become very rare for an episode's world premiere to be the American broadcast? Well, not only is that going to be true yet again for the rest of Season 8, but things look like they'll be especially crazy this time (according to what I've read on EqD). Compared to the American schedule which will have the finale presumably on October 13, Australia's been showing two new episodes each weekend (so the finale there will likely be September 8 & 9), but Sweden has accelerated their schedule so that the finale will be by the end of this month, and France has already released all but the last five episodes. It's almost like all the countries in the world are scrambling for the bragging rights of showing new episodes before the others. :wacko

Spoiler: ShowHide
If this madness continues, then I'll be quite relieved if the rumors of Season 9 being the final season of this show are true. Ending this show and starting a brand new one (the so-called G5) would make a great opportunity to address this issue, because while the ongoing series has been stuck in its one-per-week schedule that few others seem willing to follow, the new show could just adopt a new scheduling model by simply making each season available to stream all at once (which is what a lot of popular new shows seem to be doing these days). But that's just my opinion, so it's possible there may be a better solution to all of this.


Even with all of this madness going on, I still intend to review each of the remaining episodes on their intended American release, even if it means not reading other comments in the meantime to ensure my reviews are entirely my own thoughts.

Spoiler: ShowHide
The opening night of the school play has finally arrived. Rarity plays the lead role, whose parents (played by Twilight and Flash Sentry) want her to work in the coal mine like them, but she has dreams of being a famous dancer, and those dreams come true when the fairy boot mother (played by Rainbow Dash) provides her with diamond boots. Near the end of the play, Fluttershy is about to ring a bell before speaking her only line, but an accident backstage causes the bell to fall from its stand, prompting one of her friends to step in and help.

Choose Twilight Sparkle: Backstage, Sunset tries signaling to Twilight asking her to use her magic powers. Once Twilight finally understands the message, she telekinetically lifts the bell back into place, with Rainbow Dash covering for her by claiming in her role to be using her fairy boot mother magic. With the bell back in place, Fluttershy rings it and says her line.

Choose Applejack: Applejack asks for a costume backstage, but the only one available is an apple tree, so she quickly puts it on anyway and goes on stage, claiming to be brought to life by the fairy boot mother. Despite a little difficulty, Applejack manages to pick up the fallen bell and holds it up, allowing Fluttershy to ring it and say her line.

Choose Sunset Shimmer: Despite being stage director and not part of the cast, Sunset rushed onto the stage, forcing her to completely improvise an entire monologue, finishing it off by getting everyone to make the sound of ringing bells, allowing Fluttershy to finish it off by saying her line.

For this one, I think Twilight was the best choice, because it totally makes sense to me that Sunset would ask Twilight to use her magic to lift the bell back into place, and good work from Rainbow Dash too for improvising along with them without needing to be told to do so. Applejack was an okay choice, as I could see her improvising like that with the limited resources she had available. Sunset Shimmer, on the other hand, all I can say is that was perhaps my absolute least favorite ending of all of these shorts, as I found it to be so much cringe that I couldn't even pay attention to what she was trying to say. Seriously, her behavior in the Twilight ending was much more believable than the one with her alone. Anyway, one thing of note in this short is that the backdrop is pulled across the stage thanks to Twilight's robot, so it seems my preferred choice from a couple weeks ago is considered the canon version.


And now my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Rarity and Rainbow Dash have planned a day to spend some time with each other like good friends, but before they leave, Twilight briefly invites them to serve as an example in her class that even ponies with very different interests can still be friends. But when the students start asking for examples, Rarity and Rainbow find themselves struggling to think of much. When Starlight remarks that their friendship is something you'd have to see to understand, Twilight decides to take her students to observe their day together. Unfortunately, just about every activity goes bad; Rarity is too distracted sketching to play buckball, Rainbow is too bored while shopping, and their different reasons for exploring the gem cave end up clashing. Things between Rarity and Rainbow get so heated that they start to consider themselves no longer friends.

After Starlight listens to their issues with each other, she comes up with an idea to help them better understand each other. Rainbow loves reading Daring Do, and Rarity loves reading Shadow Spade, so Starlight recommends they read each others favorite book and later talk about them. Unfortunately, neither of them showed much interest in their assigned books and neither of them even bother to finish reading them. As they argue again, Starlight suddenly brings them back to the school, where Twilight says that the Amulet of Aurora, one of the gifted artifacts, has gone missing.

Despite the bitterness still between them, Rarity and Rainbow agree to work together to find it. Their widely different talents and interests end up working quite well to support each other (I'd list them all, but there's a lot of them, and I'm a little short on time this week). They eventually follow the trail through a secret tunnel back to the school where they find Spike had taken the artifact... as requested by Twilight. Even though the crisis was staged, the effort Rarity and Rainbow had made along the way really did help them to better appreciate their opposing interests. The two friends decide to finish their day together with ways of using the interests of the other to help with something of their own interest.

This was a rather interesting episode. First, we got callbacks to pretty much all of the previous times we saw a focus between Rarity and Rainbow (which turned out to be only twice in the entire series). Starlight had a brilliant idea of having them read each others favorite books to better understand each other, but too bad it didn't really work. I'll admit, I knew the whole search for the missing artifact was a setup right from the start, but I was okay with it, because it helped with the episode's message that sometimes, friends with very different interests need a little outside assistance to help them realize why they're friends in the first place. Also, there was that running gag where all of the students simultaneously took notes on everything they witnessed; good, bad, and ugly.


Next week will be the "official" premiere of Yakity-Sax, which I've already covered about a month ago, so I won't do an episode review next week, but I will still review the next Equestria Girls short. (If I remember correctly, next week's short will be the last of the "choose your own ending" series, then will be followed by the five parts of Rollercoaster of Friendship, and as far as I know that'll be the last of the new Equestria Girls content for now.)

I've already reviewed this week's episode, so I won't bother with repeating it. However, we do still have the YouTube release of another Equestria Girls short.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/equestria-girls-happily-ever-after.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/equestria-girls-happily-ever-after.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_NI7Gr6USs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_NI7Gr6USs)
Spoiler: ShowHide
The school play is over, and now it's time for the after party. Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle (the Cutie Mark Crusaders) had planned a slideshow of events before and during the play, but Cranky Doodle has refused to let them use the projector for it. When they mention this to their older sisters, the later girls decide to do something about it.

Choose Rarity: Rarity decides to use her skills at negotiating for her confrontation with Crank Doodle. Throughout the argument, she manages to convince him that the projector is technically school property and therefore he has no right to withhold its use on school grounds. They soon reach a compromise where, under the excuse of supervising the projector's use to ensure it doesn't get damaged, Cranky Doodle will attend the party with them, allowing the slideshow to proceed.

Choose Applejack: Applejack decides to confront Cranky Doodle by simply trying to be more stubborn than him. As they argue, the CMCs take advantage of the distraction to swap out the projector for a cardboard box with a flashlight taped to the top of it, and once they successfully make their getaway, Applejack just casually ends the argument and leaves. At the party, the slideshow is underway when Cranky Doodle suddenly barges in, but rather than accuse them of stealing the projector, he actually thanks them for finding his flashlight.

Choose Rainbow Dash: The CMCs barge in begging for help with a "math emergency" and quickly guide him out of the classroom. With the room now empty, Rainbow Dash sneaks in and soon manages to find the projector. At the party, as the slideshow gets underway, the CMCs have yet to show up, and it's because they've had to practically endure a math lecture from Cranky Doodle.

For this one, I think Rarity was the best choice, because she managed to achieve a result that left everyone satisfied, even giving Cranky Doodle a chance to unwind. Applejack was a fine choice because while they did steal the projector, Cranky Doodle somehow didn't seem to care, so that left a good result for everyone else. Rainbow Dash was also fine, but it's my least preferred choice because the diversion the CMCs set up worked a little too well as they ended up missing much of the slideshow they had done. Also, this short showed content implying which certain endings of the previous shorts had actually occurred: from the starting portion, the Applejack ending of during the play; from the Rarity option, the Pinkie Pie ending of helping build the set; from the Applejack option, again the Applejack ending of during the play; and from the Rainbow Dash option, both the Rainbow Dash and Photo Finish endings of helping build the set and both the Pinkie Pie and Micro Chips endings of moving the backdrop (so a pair of contradictions for the Rainbow Dash option).


If I've been keeping track correctly, then that was the last of the "choose your own ending" shorts. Starting next week, the only Equestria Girls shorts left to go will be all five of the 10-minute parts of "Rollercoaster of Friendship". I will not be writing any reviews for those, as I had already done one for the entire special. Instead, much like I did for "Forgotten Friendship", I will point out any new scenes that were not seen in the 44-minute version that was first shown.

So is the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic movie any good? I'm still a few seasons behind, but I'm catching up.

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's hard to say.  There's both good and bad parts.  It's not a great movie.  In fact, "good" could be pushing it.  The main problem is pacing issues.  It is highly argued that this could have been a two-parter and been okay.  However, it does do quite a bit of world building for Equestria.  It even includes one species we had been waiting for... seaponies.  How that works, you might be surprised with.

There's also the problem of the villain.  One of the worst, IMO. (I'd put them in the level of Starlight and Sunset Shimmer.) So much build-up and boy does it come crashing down.  You have the second in command being the main star villain, which isn't that good to begin with, but when you get to the master, it's bad.  Just warning you there.

Despite this, best not to skip it as they talk about it in the latest season.  So, watch it purely for that and do your best to not expect something good.  That's as far as I would go.

Welp, I watched The Movie, and it was okay. Just okay. I actually rather liked Tempest, the film's secondary villain, and thought most of her scenes were pretty well done. There were a lot of good moments scattered throughout, but yeah, this was nowhere near as good as it could have been.

For the Equestria Girls series, Part 1 of Rollercoaster of Friendship is now on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/hasbro-adds-part-one-of-rollercoaster.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/08/hasbro-adds-part-one-of-rollercoaster.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFSZO0bQaE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFSZO0bQaE)
As I mentioned last week, I won't be writing reviews here because I had already reviewed the full version when it was first shown a few months ago, but what I will do is point out any new scenes that were not included in the 44-minute version we previously saw. For Part 1, there's almost nothing new, perhaps a few seconds of additional scenery, but nothing significant at all.

Even though I've watched the next few episodes when they were shown early in Australia, I'm still going to wait until the American broadcast before I review them, mostly because writing just one review each week is already time-consuming enough for me. Anyway, on to my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
With Trixie visiting Ponyville, Starlight assists her in another one of her magic performances. After the show, an audience member from Saddle Arabia expresses how much he enjoyed it and would love to see her perform in his homeland. Trixie is reluctant about traveling so far away, and immediately refuses his offer to trade her wagon for his larger one, but ultimately decides to go ahead with the journey when told she has fans over there. Not wanting to be lonely on such a long journey, Trixie asks Starlight if she's interested in joining, and she happily agrees for the opportunity of bonding between best friends on a road trip (after, of course, finding someone to cover her duties at the school).

At the start, they are both very optimistic, but once they reach the village of Somnambula along the way, one thing after another gradually worsens the experience for both of them. Starlight accidentally spends too much on a snack, and Trixie insisting on waiting in lines at specific shops means that by the time they try to look for a hotel room, every place is completely booked full. They're forced to spend the night inside Trixie's wagon and neither of them get much sleep due to the cramped conditions, Starlight snoring, and Trixie talking in her sleep. At breakfast, frustrated at each other from lack of sleep, Starlight takes all the food, while Trixie takes all the juice. Later, their show's performance goes poorly due to how fed up they have become with each other. That night, after a bitter argument, Trixie decides to just sleep outside, but when she returns the next morning, Starlight had accepted the Saddle Arabian's offer to trade wagons. With Trixie furious at Starlight for selfishly giving away something that meant so much to her, they both part ways.

While Starlight struggles to go home with the larger wagon, Trixie manages to come across the Saddle Arabian with her wagon, and when he refuses to give it back, she decides to block his path in defiance. Starlight eventually returns and apologies to Trixie, and the two reconcile. But even with the larger wagon returned, the Saddle Arabian is still unsure about reversing the trade and asks for proof that Starlight and Trixie are still friends, so Starlight takes an idea from when Twilight and Cadance had attended their show at the beginning of the episode and do a special friendship chant with Trixie. Of course, the awkward chant is so obviously improvised on the spot that the Saddle Arabian sees right through it, but agrees to reverse the trade because "only true friends would be willing to do something so ridiculous for each other". With Trixie now having her old wagon back, she and Starlight agree to cancel the road trip and return to Ponyville. They conclude that despite all the problems, they're glad they took that trip, if only to find out they shouldn't do something like it ever again.

I found this to be a rather average episode. I did find it rather amusing how, at the start of the road trip, Trixie and Starlight remark how they wouldn't break into song like the Main 6 would, only to immediately do exactly that. We also got some references to the episode "Daring Don't" with the village of Somnambula, which is apparently on the way from Ponyville to Saddle Arabia. I did find it kind of weird how that Saddle Arabian pony seemed to keep following them and continuing to insist on his offer to trade wagons, so the point where Starlight and Trixie remarked about it was rather amusing. Finally, I was actually quite intrigued that the lesson was apparently that a road trip among friends is always worth it, even if the experience turns out bad enough that you'll never want to do it ever again.


By the way, of those two video choices, the Mega version is off sync by almost a second, while the Sendvid version is actually the Australian broadcast. As much as I'd prefer to watch the American version, the audio issue is too much for me, so I settled for rewatching the Australian version (at least it's on Sendvid, which is my preferred site anyway).

It seems EqD is having a habit of uploading the Australia versions to SendVid rather than the US ones.  They don't care.  They're both in English, so they wonder why it's such a big deal.  This is what I'm stuck with.  So enjoy the episode below.

Part 2 of Equestria Girls Rollercoaster of Friendship is now on YouTube (and since this is apparently the part that was leaked months ago, we can now say that all of the leaked content is finally behind us).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-2-now.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-2-now.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCujRVGgrig (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCujRVGgrig)
I didn't really notice any new content in this part either, so just like with Part 1, if there is any additional content in this part, it's probably just a few seconds of scenery.

Here's my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
It seems like another day of Ponyville's Rainbow Dash fanclub (with Rainbow eavesdropping as always), but Scootaloo suddenly kicks everypony out, removes all of her Rainbow Dash memorabilia, and replaces it all with merchandise of "the Washouts". Rainbow is so stunned that she immediately walks in and not-so-subtly demands an explanation. The Washouts are a new team of stunt flyers who perform daredevil stunts so extreme that Scootaloo claims them to be way more awesome than the Wonderbolts. Rainbow talks to her friends about it and is unable to hide her jealousy that Scootaloo might have a new idol, but just to be sure they know who they're talking about, they decide to attend an upcoming show in Ponyville. Although Rainbow initially expresses heavy bias against the Washouts, after watching the show, even she can't deny how incredible they performed. Curious about who the Washouts are, Rainbow and Scootaloo go meet them after the show. They reveal that they're all former Wonderbolts that were forced out due to various issues (hence their group name), and their leader turns out to be non other than Lightning Dust (previously seen way back in Season 3).

Rainbow and Lightning initially talk surprisingly well, but the conversation turns hostile once they start considering who Scootaloo should consider a better role model. Rainbow quickly decides to take Scootaloo to Wonderbolts headquarters to show why they're better role models, but Spitfire's aggressiveness doesn't exactly provide the desired conviction. As they return to Ponyville, Rainbow expresses that she just doesn't want Scootaloo to get hurt. But when Rainbow insists on disposing all of Scootaloo's Washouts merchandise, Scootaloo decides to outright join the Washouts as a full member.

A conversation with Twilight helps Rainbow realize that she can't just force Scootaloo to idolize her, but upon discovering that Scootaloo has joined the Washouts, Rainbow begs her to reconsider, arguing that performing with them is way too dangerous. However, Scootaloo is so firm on being with the Washouts that she even brings up how her inability to fly will never make her be just like Rainbow Dash, which hurts Rainbow to the point that she doesn't bother arguing anymore. At the next show, Scootaloo is very excited to perform her rocket-propelled scooter stunt jump, but when she actually sees the size of the rocket, she begins to have second thoughts, but Lightning Dust immediately threatens to kick Scootaloo off the team if she backs out from the stunt, and even adds on more rockets. Scootaloo reluctantly agrees to go through with the stunt, but regrets it right at the moment it starts. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash swoops in to save her as the rocket goes airborne, while Lightning Dust accidentally gets dragged along by the rocket. Scootaloo and Rainbow both apologize to each other, and while Scootaloo is willing to bring back her fanclub for Rainbow Dash, Rainbow decides to start her own club for the appreciation of Scootaloo, as a sign of mutual respect.

This was a rather average episode for me. It was nice to once again see a character return after many seasons, this time being Lightning Dust, who we see is still as reckless as ever. Among the other Washouts, I actually recognized Short Fuse from a previous episode (I forget the name, but it was from late in Season 6, the map mission for Twilight and Rainbow where we met Vapor Trail and Sky Stinger) as a Wonderbolts recruit (and I'll admit, I found his "anger issues" to be hilarious). There were a pair of running gags in the middle segment that I just didn't like very much, especially with Spitfire's pointless aggressiveness thrown in. Rainbow certainly went too far to pressure Scootaloo to forget the Washouts, which naturally only pushed Scootaloo to get even closer to the Washouts. Thankfully, Twilight was able to help Rainbow understand what she did wrong, while Scootaloo had to be traumatized by a near-death experience to realize that Rainbow really does care about her, while Lightning Dust was only concerned with putting on an epic show at the expense of all safety laws, which made Scootaloo determine that Rainbow Dash really is her best idol all along. Oh, and at the Scootaloo appreciation club, we can see that Rainbow's parents are rather predictably among its members.


By the way, the guy who uploaded the US version on Mega also later uploaded a version on Sendvid, but you'll have to search through the comments to find the link to it.

Part 3 of Equestria Girls Rollercoaster of Friendship is now on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-3.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-3.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuZxJytDKYk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuZxJytDKYk)
Once again, there was no significant additional content in this part either. However, I noticed a rather odd discrepancy in the credits: Cranky Doodle is credited despite not appearing at all, yet the security guard that Applejack encounters is not credited at all. I remember reading comments saying that Cranky Doodle had to be in the additional content due to be credited, but here it's now very obvious that may not be the case and could simply be the result of some sort of error. Also, I remember calculating the length of each segment of the TV version and determining that Part 4 would be most likely to have additional content, so I guess we'll wait and see next week.

And now for my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Rockhoof tries to help the archaeology team working at his old village, but his methods don't exactly work well for the team's effort of trying to carefully preserve history, so the lead professor asks Twilight to consider giving him a different job, to which she gladly accepts. Rockhoof is given a teaching position at the School of Friendship and soon starts telling a story of one of his past exploits, but while the students love him, his theatrics accidentally causes a lot of damage. Later, he tries to stop what he thinks is a fire in the building, but turns out to actually be just Spike and Smolder being competitive as always. Feeling sorry for all the trouble he has caused, he decides to leave and find something else he could do.

After failing in numerous cases to help Rockhoof find a new purpose, the main six decide to have him meet with his fellow Pillars to see how well they've adapted to modern Equestria. Flash Magnus now commands a squad of royal guards in Canterlot, Mistmane is now the royal gardener in the Crystal Empire, Somnambula is now a motivational speaker at the village of her namesake, Meadowbrook now essentially runs a pharmacy at her home village, we already know about Starswirl, and Stygian has written a series of novels inspired by his personal experiences. With no effective leads from any of the Pillars, their next attempt tries to make use of his talent at being a hero by enlisting him in the hippogriff navy. Unfortunately, after an accident due to the stars having moved over the last thousand years into patterns he doesn't recognize, that effort also ends in failure.

Convinced that that there's nothing he could possibly do in modern Equestria, Rockhoof ultimately asks Twilight to cast a spell on him to turn him into a stone statue, which Twilight absolutely refuses. Later, after Spike substitutes the class that Rockroof had previously taught and mentions to the students about Rockhoof's wishes to become petrified, Yona rushes to him and begs him to reconsider, even having gone so far as to talk about Rockhoof in her recent essay assignment. She convinces him to at least finish the story he had been telling the class earlier, and when Twilight sees how enthusiastic everyone is during the tale, she realizes that Rockhoof really can have a purpose in modern Equestria, and uses her princess status to appoint him as "official keeper of tales".

After the finale last season, I was really hoping we would get an episode that showed the old Pillars adjusting to life in modern Equestria, and this episode definitely delivered on that subject. Sure, it was mostly about Rockhoof, but at least we got a glimpse of all the others too. I was rather amused at the antics of a Viking type of pony trying to fit in with a modern society (even the use of his accent amused me). But I think what turned out to be a surprisingly strong aspect of this episode was how Rockhoof eventually became so depressed that he asked to be turned to stone (which is pretty much the closest this show could possibly go on the issue of suicide), with Twilight and Yona playing the part of good friends who try to talk him out of doing such a horrible thing to himself. Overall, definitely one of the better episodes of this season.

Well, looks like there was never going to be any additional scenes after all. Unlike Forgotten Friendship which had a full length of 50 minutes, it seems this one was always intended to be just 44 minutes, which means this week's part is notably shorter than all the others. Just one more part left to go, and that'll be the last of the Equestria Girls content that we know of.

And now for my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
At the School of Friendship, Twilight teaches her class about the Tree of Harmony, and at the end of class tells the students to study for a test on the impact of friendship on Equestrian history the next day. While the young six are studying in the library, they encounter Cozy Glow, who pretty much doesn't hold back in pointing out negative stereotypes of all the different creatures they are, ultimately claiming that friendship just isn't in their nature. As they try to keep studying, the young six stumble across a crystal root growing through a grate in the floor, opening access to a cave below the school. They decide to explore it and soon come across a sparkly glowing version of Twilight, who initially behaves hostile to them because they don't believe "friendship is in their nature", but when they mention the test they're trying to study for, "Twilight" decides to test the young six, threatening to trap them underground forever if they can't find a way out by sunset.

The six students are teleported to separate and very different rooms, each with their own challenge to overcome. Gallus is trapped in a very small chamber, Smolder ends up in a series of tunnels that all lead to the same room of two mares having a tea party, Ocellus finds herself in a chamber resembling the old changeling hive and is horrified to see herself stuck looking like Queen Chrysalis, Yona ends up in a tunnel swarming with spiders, Silverstream believes she's back at her homeland and quickly hides from what she thinks is the Storm King, and Sandbar is asked by "Rarity" and "Rainbow Dash" to join them on a friendship mission without the rest of his friends. Gallus manages to calm his nerves enough to figure out the puzzle in escaping that ever-compressing chamber, while Smolder discovers the only way to stop being constantly sent back to the same room is to actually join the tea party and ends up enjoying it. After overcoming their challenges, those two meet up at the exit, but while they acknowledge that any griffin or dragon would chose to just leave immediately, Gallus and Smolder decide to head back and help the rest of their friends figure out that they have to overcome their greatest fears in order to escape.

Gallus helps Silverstream stand up to the Storm King (who turns out to be just a stack of rocks), and Smolder helps Ocellus understand that she's nothing like the old changelings (allowing her to change back into herself). The four meet up again at the exit and are soon joined by Yona, who overcame her fear of spiders by realizing they can be just as friendly as any other creature. With only Sandbar left, all five of them agree to find him, and arrive just in time to hear him tell off "their professors" for trying to make him abandon his friends in favor of ponies only. The six students return to the exit and once again encounter "Twilight", only now they realize that it was never really Twilight all along, but rather the spirit of the Tree of Harmony. Having successfully passed their challenges, the young six proved to the Tree that they are indeed worthy of friendship, and allows them to leave. As soon as they return to the library, Cozy Glow finds them, and when they consider telling the professors about what they found, Cozy immediately begs them not to tell anyone, even going so far as to apologize for her earlier comments by claiming that she was jealous that they were able to understand friendship much better than she was. The young six are so exhausted from their adventure that they don't bother to argue with her and just fall asleep right there.

This particular episode, I have to admit, I found it to be quite exciting. Seeing the young six (the new group of friends that I've been so eager to see more of at any opportunity) going into an unknown underground chamber beneath the school and ending up facing a series of challenges to test their worthiness was something that really got my attention. In fact, as a huge fan of Bionicle, I couldn't help but be reminded of certain years of that storyline from watching this episode. Not to mention, after so many hints over the last few seasons, we finally got absolute proof that the Tree of Harmony really does have a mind and spirit of its own. As for what Cozy Glow is up to, while I have already seen the Australian broadcast of the finale, I will just say here what my initial thoughts were back when I first saw the Australian broadcast of this episode many weeks ago: With her blatantly racist comments right in the faces of the young six, I couldn't help but wonder if she has some sort of connection with Chancellor Neighsay.


I just want to say this much outside of the spoilers: This episode has definitely become one of my favorites of the entire series.

Part 5 (the final part) of Equestria Girls Rollercoaster of Friendship is now on YouTube.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-5.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/09/rollercoaster-of-friendship-part-5.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hws5AD9nvCA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hws5AD9nvCA)
Like I said last week, there is no additional content in any of the five parts of this special. Also, after over a year of releases every Friday, it looks like there will now no longer be any new Equestria Girls content being released on YouTube for the foreseeable future. Haven't yet heard any official announcements for new shorts or specials, so we'll just have to wait and see.

And now for my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Applejack and Fluttershy are called by the map (which Twilight points out is the first time the map has called for the same pair of ponies a second time (their previous one was in Las Pegasus)) to the little-known place of the Peaks of Peril. The only information Twilight can provide came from Rockhoof's travels a thousand years ago: it is a realm inhabited by kirins, who are peaceful creatures, and niriks, who are vicious flaming creatures. Once they get there, Applejack climbs up part of the mountains only to have to turn back when she sees Fluttershy hadn't followed, and gets frustrated that it was because she was busy helping some squirrels build a nest. Fluttershy then has to break through Applejack's stubbornness in order to tell her that the squirrels had pointed out a much easier route to the kirin village. They soon find the village and although they find the kirin, they are surprised to discover that the kirin are completely silent and seem to express no emotions at all.

After many failed attempts to get any information, the village leader eventually points toward a rather dark trail. Fluttershy is too scared to consider the trail, so Applejack agrees to go alone while Fluttershy stays in the village to find any clues. Applejack goes up the trail and eventually encounters Autumn Blaze, the only kirin who actually talks, and happens to be quite a chatterbox too (and based on how many inanimate objects she's drawn faces on, it's obvious she's be completely alone for quite a while). When Applejack asks about why all the other kirin are perpetually silent, Autumn explains through song that kirins can turn into niriks if they get too angry, and that a past incident was so severely destructive that the village leader forced them all into the Stream of Silence, a magical water source that took away their voices and emotions. But then Autumn accidentally came across a cure for that magical silence, but her enthusiasm was unacceptable to the other kirins and they practically drove her out of the village. Now knowing the full backstory, Applejack realizes that to solve the friendship problem, they need to cure all the kirins of their silence, but unfortunately, Autumn hasn't been able to find any more of the flowers she had used for the cure. Even so, Applejack decides to return to the village to inform Fluttershy of her discovery.

When Applejack returns to the village, Fluttershy reveals she had discovered a depiction of the same past events Applejack had learned about, but Fluttershy's interpretation of it leaves her convinced that the kirins should remain silent, which stands at odds with Applejack's interpretation, who argues that the kirins shouldn't let a fear of anger force them to give up all emotions. The disagreement between Applejack and Fluttershy catches the attention of the kirin villagers and escalates to a point where they decide to drag the two ponies to the Stream of Silence, despite their agreed protests upon finding out what was happening. But before they reach the water, a nirik quickly cuts off the two ponies from the kirins and reveals herself to be Autumn Blaze, having gain remarkable control over her nirik form. After Applejack, Fluttershy, and Autumn discuss why it's okay to argue every now and then, the kirins decide they want to be cured like Autumn was. Despite worries over being able to make the cure at all, they soon find the needed flowers, which remarkably turn out to be what Fluttershy has used for nest material earlier in the episode. Autumn then mixes up the cure into the village's water supply and all of the kirins celebrate being able to talk again, thus completing Applejack's and Fluttershy's friendship mission.

This episode definitely had an interesting lesson that you shouldn't let a fear of anger or disagreement force you to give up trying to say or do anything at all. As for the kirins themselves, not once at any point in this episode is it even acknowledged that they're half pony and half dragon, and are thus treated as just another new race introduced to the show. Here, they all seem to be a sort of Jekyll & Hyde type in the form of kirin and nirik (which I just realized you can spell one by spelling the other backwards), and apparently their nirik side got so destructive that they essentially tried to suppress their emotions (kind of like the Vulcans of Star Trek). Autumn Blazed proved a remarkable exception to this perception as (much like with Bruce Banner and Hulk) she has learned to control her nirik side and even use it for good purposes. Finally, I should point out that in the few weeks that have passed between the Australian broadcast and the American broadcast, this was the one episode that by far made fans struggle to hold back any spoilers, so I think it's safe to say that this one will definitely be a fan favorite (even though I personally thought it was just a rather good episode).


By the way, it was recently announced that there will be a one-hour holiday special that'll premiere on October 27, so that'll be just two weeks after the season finale.

First of all, a completely brand new Equestria Girls short was released on YouTube this week.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/10/equestria-girls-other-side-ft-rarity.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2018/10/equestria-girls-other-side-ft-rarity.html)
And here's the direct link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alhJRfHCvcE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alhJRfHCvcE)
This one is actually a music video featuring Rarity, so there's not much for me to talk about here. What does make this worth watching is that, unlike virtually all the other Equestria Girls shorts that have come out so far, this YouTube release is the very first time we've seen it anywhere at all.

And now for my review of this week's episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
With Spike still new to his wings, Twilight has been giving him flying lessons, though with mixed results. However, Smolder points out that Spike has been getting improper lessons because dragon wings are just not the same as pony wings. After some practice with Smolder, Spike's flying skills improve dramatically, and Twilight apologizes for failing to account for such a simple detail. Later, as Spike thanks Smolder for the flying advice, an overweight dragon named Sludge suddenly crash-lands nearby. Sludge tries to ignore them and walk away, but he's very obviously in a lot of pain from the impact, so Spike takes him back to Twilight's castle and the Main Six agree to care for him at least until he's recovered from his injuries. During the montage, Sludge appears to take every opportunity to be lazy (though Pinkie Pie cleverly finds ways to make him active enough for successful rehab), and once he's fully recovered, he's reluctant to leave, and goes so far as to claim that he's Spikes father.

Spike and the ponies are naturally shocked to hear of such a thing. When Spike asks about how he ended up orphaned, Sludge is initially hesitant and tries he best to explain, and when the ponies point out a number of questionable details in the story, he just brushes it off with the excuse of not knowing those answers himself. Regardless, Spike is very eager to spend time with Sludge and tries to go through a list of things he's always wanted to do with his father. Sludge goes along with it, and when Spike later asks about anything he's interested in doing, he seems to prefer to just lay around doing nothing. Through song, he practically manipulates Spike into giving up his room and living outside under the claim that it's "what real dragons do", while Sludge takes advantage of living in comfort.

Over time, the main ponies start questioning Sludge's lazy behavior, but Spike is too happy being with who he thinks is his father to care about any of that. When even Twilight starts to voice her concerns, Spike completely disregards her, leaving her heartbroken. Finally, once Smolder finds out what's been going on, she's quick to point out to Spike that Sludge's claims of being "like a real dragon" are actually ridiculous, and comes up with a plan to expose the truth. Spike, with assistance from Smolder, tries to convince Sludge to move out with him into a rocky cave "like true dragons", but Sludge is so opposed to abandoning the comforts of the castle that he angrily admits that he totally lied about being Spike's father, and with his fraud exposed he has no choice but to leave anyway. Spike is devastated at first, but then apologizes to Twilight for his earlier behavior and acknowledges that his real family has been with her all along.

Well, there's this running joke among fans that most episodes that focus on Spike are typically going to be rather poor episodes, and I'd argue that this one is no exception. As early as the recovery montage, I found it very obvious that Sludge was just some lazy fat guy, and after he claimed to be Spike's father, I knew as early as his flawed story that he was probably lying about the whole thing. At least Smolder is around to offer Spike much more reliable information on true dragon culture. In fact, this is the second time this season that Smolder has helped Spike better understand things about being a dragon, so I'm not sure if that says something positive about Smolder or something negative about Spike (I'm personally leaning towards the former).

First of all, for the first time in over a year, there is no new Equestria Girls video on YouTube this week, so it looks like "Season 1" is officially over. However, there are images out there that seem to indicate that it won't be long before we see some new content once again.

And now for my review of this week's new episode.
Spoiler: ShowHide
It starts out as a typical day at the School of Friendship with Cozy Glow helping out anywhere she goes, especially with Twilight as one of her most trusted students. However, the field trip to Cloudsdale is cut short when Starlight's cloudwalking spell suddenly fails, and although thankfully everyone is saved, the problem becomes much worse when unicorn magic all over Equestria mysteriously starts failing. While Twilight and friends speak with the princesses about it, they receive a letter from Star Swirl claiming that by the end of the third day, all magic in Euqestria will be gone forever. Following a tip from Cozy Glow, Twilight believes Tirek might be behind all of this, so she and her friends decide to visit Tartarus to find out, leaving Starlight in charge of the school.

The Main 6 and Spike travel to Tartarus, and when they reach the gate, Twilight no longer has any magic to open the gate, but Cozy Glow had packed a special key that could open it, though it breaks after it is used, so once they step inside and the gate closes behind them, they have no way out. Due to the failing of magic, all of the dangerous creatures locked away inside can't cause any harm to the ponies. They eventually reach Tirek, and although he denies any involvement in Equestria's loss of magic (after all, he's still locked up in his cage), he does mention exchanging letters with a penpal on the outside and doing so to share knowledge on how to take away all the magic in the world.

Meanwhile at the school, Starlight has vanished and Cozy Glow assumes control, but the Young 6 students are immediately suspicious of Cozy's excuse of where Starlight went. Later that night, they notice Cozy leaving the underground cavern they had visited not too long ago, so they follow her to find out what's going on. However, when they get to the office, they find Chancellor Neighsay has suddenly assumed control of the school in spite of Twilight's or Cozy Glow's wishes, and when they discover the Young 6 eavesdropping, Neighsay immediately locks them away under his twisted belief that all the non pony creatures are to blame for Equestria's loss of magic. However, Sandbar convinces Neighsay to let him go by claiming to follow the same racist belief, though it's soon revealed to be just an act as Sandbar immediately asks the Cutie Mark Crusaders to help him free his friends. They plan to also ask Cozy Glow to help, but when they find her in the cavern, they discover that it's actually Cozy Glow who's been draining away all the magic, using the six magical artifacts kept in the school and even trapping Starlight in the resulting vortex, all because Cozy wants to rule the world as the "Empress of Friendship".

In Part 2, Twilight is shocked to learn that Cozy Glow has been working with Tirek, who proudly claims revenge by causing them to be trapped in Tartarus, though it seems he failed to realize he would be still trapped for eternity with them until they specifically pointed it out. Twilight and her friends need to figure out a way to escape, but although much of their magic is already gone, Twilight realizes she could use the trace magic that make up all the imprisoned creatures to open the gate. Fluttershy convinces the creatures to help out, and Pinkie Pie forces Tirek to also help by threatening to deliberately pester him for all of eternity. The plan works perfectly, and Twilight is able to pull the gate open just long enough for her and her friends to escape. Unfortunately, they discover that it's already so late on the third day that they'll never make it back to the school in time to save Equestria.

Meanwhile at the school, Sandbar and the CMCs free the rest of the Young 6 and they come up with a plan to stop Cozy Glow. Later, Neighsay attempts to forcefully change the school to strictly follow EEA guidelines, but with some encouragement from Cozy Glow, all the other students rise up against him and the angry mob chains him up in the office so Cozy can continue Twilight's friendship lessons. The CMCs try to distract Cozy, but she sees right through the diversion and locks them in a closet. However, the diversion works as the Young 6 are able to free Neighsay and explain to him what's really going on, so he uses his magical medallion to instantly go to Canterlot to warn the princesses that Cozy Glow is the one behind Equestria's loss of magic. Not willing to simply wait for help to arrive, the Young 6 go down into the cavern and figure out that they can stop the loss of magic by removing the artifacts powering the spell. However, Cozy Glow stops them and convinces the other students that the Young 6 are the ones responsible for what's been going on. In the resulting struggle, some of the Young 6 end up trapped in the vortex with Starlight and the rest are pulled in as they tried to pull them out. This kind of sacrifice causes the other students to start questioning Cozy Glow, but she just rants about being incredibly powerful due to possessing the magic of friendship, bragging that not even the Tree of Harmony could stop her now.

However, the Tree of Harmony does save the Young 6 by pulling them out of the vortex, allowing them to remove the magical artifacts to break the spell, thus instantly restoring all magic to all of Equestria. As all of the main groups soon come together, Cozy Glow defiantly tries to retake control over everything, but that won't happen now that everyone knows what she's really up to, and her attempts to escape are blocked by practically everyone all around. Later, in a conversation with Twilight and Celestia, Neighsay concedes he was wrong and not only allows Twilight to continue running her school but also even renounces his racism. They then see the Young 6 practicing graduation under the belief that saving Equestria means they don't need lessons anymore, but Twilight points out it'll take more than a single semester for them to learn everything they can about friendship. As the CMCs are finally freed from the closet, everyone wonders what will happen to Cozy Glow, and we see her end up locked in a cage in Tartarus right next to Tirek.

Wow, this two-part episode sure had a lot of things going on. First of all, I'm sure a lot of us had suspected for a long time that Cozy Glow would do something evil in this season finale, though I'm sure few of us correctly predicted the details. For example, I had assumed Cozy and Neighsay would somehow be working together, but it turns out Neighsay was just a pest getting in Cozy's way. Another speculation I had was that the episode would end with Cozy Glow reformed, but not Neightsay. Instead, the exact opposite happened, and I will say this: I actually love it when this show goes completely against some long-held speculations. As for Cozy's motivation, the best I can figure out is that due to the number of times Twilight and friends had saved Equestria using the Magic of Friendship, Cozy Glow wrongly believed that friendship results in great power, and refused to change her twisted belief when Twilight tried to explain otherwise. I find it hard to believe that Cozy would be simply tossed into Tartarus without any attempts to reform her, so my belief is that off-screen, such an effort was made, but she proved to be unable or unwilling to change her ways. It was quite a shame that the Cutie Mark Crusaders tried to help save Equestria for the first time, only to quickly end up locked in a closet for the rest of the episode. However, I definitely liked the role the Young 6 ultimately played here, and I certainly look forward to seeing more of them next season. (And I agree with Twilight: saving Equestria just once doesn't automatically make you a master at friendship.)


I still intend to continue posting reviews like this with all future episodes of both MLP and for Equestria Girls. However, one thing I am curious of is if anyone even bothers to read any of this. I'm honestly starting to feel a little lonely here.

~SUMMARY POST~

Well, this is it, my last Summary Post ever for this topic.  I don't feel this to be a bad note to end on.  Anyways, get the summary for the Holiday Special below.

-------------
Holiday Special

Title: Best Gift Ever

Summary Part 1: It’s the holiday season and PRINCESS CADANCE, SHINING ARMOR, and BABY FLURRY HEART are traveling to Princess TWILIGHT SPARKLE to celebrate in her castle! When they arrive, TWILIGHT SPARKLE is super stressed to find the BEST GIFT EVER, but eventually they learn that friendship is everypony’s favorite gift of all.

Summary Part 2: It’s the holiday season and the pony friends are galloping through EQUESTRIA to find the BEST GIFT EVER for each other! Throughout their adventures, they come to find that friendship is everypony’s favorite gift after all.
---------------

The main reason the summary is two parts is because this is how I found it.  It's hard to put them together in this case.

Anyways, expect possibly Live Stream and Online Version tomorrow.

See ya later! :wave

Dammit, my subscribed letsplayer! After your single last video I didn't manage to hold myself and finally decided to learn what this series is and is it so good.
And right now, I have already watched full 4 seasons in 9 days. XD
Though, since it doesn't make me to create new episodes in my mind or universe analyzing, I won't be fan of this series. Just another nice cartoon with my lovely 2D animation. And srsl, I thought there would be more ACTION! XD

Considering that the latest season had far more episodes leaked or released early than those that premiered as intended, it actually felt nice to be going into today with absolutely no idea of what to expect (let's just hope that next season will do a better job preventing the chaos of leaks and early releases). Anyway, it's certainly neat that this is the first one-hour special (actually 44 minutes) this series has ever had (third if you include Equestria Girls content), and there sure was a lot going on (hopefully I'll be able to cover all of the important stuff in my review).

Spoiler: ShowHide
Hearth's Warming is just a couple days away, but as everyone is preparing for the holiday, Twilight finds herself in a mad rush to get everything done in time (grading papers at the school had reduced her free time, and with Shining Armor, Cadance, and Flurry Heart coming over leaves her with even more things to get done). As her friends all get caught up in it as well, Applejack offers a solution that one could easily imagine such a large family as her's has done before: giving only one gift to only the individual whose name is blindly picked from a hat (while also keeping secret who they will be giving that gift to). The main 6 (plus Spike) agree to the idea and the names drawn are; Twilight gets Pinkie, Pinkie gets Twilight, Rarity gets Applejack, Applejack gets Spike, Rainbow Dash gets Fluttershy, Fluttershy gets Rarity, and Spike gets Rainbow Dash.

Spike is so desperate to give a gift to Rarity that (after asking Applejack to clarify the rules) he first must figure out who got Rarity, and upon discovering that Fluttershy has it immediately trades with her, so now Fluttershy has Rainbow Dash and Spike has Rarity. After that extra effort, he goes around town and quickly finds himself overwhelmed with trying to find what could be a good enough gift for Rarity. Eventually, he decides to just return home and make his own gift, but has ended up so tired that he falls asleep halfway through his effort.

Rarity had already mail ordered a specially designed western hat for Applejack, so she is convinced that all she needs to do is wait for it to arrive. However, when the package doesn't arrive, she is forced to ask Derpy at the post office for where it went, only to find out that it was mistakenly sent to an acorn farm (anyone who's dealt with poor customer service can probably relate to Rarity in this scene). Once she arrives at that house, the family who lives there are thrilled to learn who had ordered that hat, because the young colt had been struggling to figure out who he is and now had finally discovered his calling in life lies with fashion. After some friendly talk, the colt acknowledges that he was not the intended recipient of the hat and offers to give it back to Rarity, but after seeing how happy it made him, she decides to let him keep it, even though it leaves her with nothing for Applejack.

After trading with Spike, Fluttershy meets up with Applejack, and when neither of them can figure out what to get in town, Fluttershy suggests going to Rainbow Falls, where she had gotten plenty of Hearth's Warming gifts before. But just as Fluttershy is about to grab an ideal gift for Rainbow Dash, she finds herself following a crowd who are fascinated by "this year's hottest toy" (actually a very shoddy doll that says questionable remarks) and the suspicious salesponies convince her to buy one with all her bits. When she shows it to Applejack, the later immediately points out what a terrible mistake the former had made, and they soon discover that the saleponies are none other than Flim and Flam in disguise, intending to use their ill-gotten profits to expand their resort. Fluttershy and Applejack understand they can't force the other ponies to not buy those awful dolls, so instead they put on a little act pointing out to everyone why "this year's hottest toy" is not necessarily the ideal gift for anyone. Although they successfully expose yet another Flim and Flam scam, they had run out of time to find any gifts for Spike or Rainbow Dash, so they decide to settle with the poor quality dolls they got as at least something to give.

Pinkie Pie had planned a bunch of matching gifts for all of her friends and finds herself super frustrated that she must now give only one gift to Twilight. After talking about it with her sisters, she decides to seek advice from the yaks, who always talk about being best at everything. However, Prince Rutherford secretly reveals to her that the only thing yaks don't consider themselves best at is gift giving, but he does offer her secret information on a secret location far to the north where she could obtain the best gift ever. When she arrives, she finds a house inhabited by three magical reindeer. (I can't remember which is which, but their names are Aurora, Bori, and Alice (I'm sure you can figure out what those names together reference), the oldest specializes on the past, the youngest specializes on the future, and the middle one specializes on the present.) The reindeer give Pinkie what they know will be the perfect gift for Twilight, while also telling her a special message that she can't quite figure out.

Twilight is naturally obsessed with finding the perfect gift for Pinkie Pie, and after some extensive research decides to bake pudding following the exact recipe done by Chancellor Puddinghead at the earliest Hearth's Warming celebrations. However, she spends so much time making that decision and gathering ingredients that she has gotten almost no progress on decorations when Shining Armor, Cadance, and Flurry Heart arrive earlier than originally planned. Despite her denial, they can easily tell she's obsessing over something. When her efforts to perfectly make the pudding causes her to miss out on spending time with them as a family, Shining Armor and Cadance have a talk with her, and she finally agrees to set aside her gift effort for the moment, unaware that Flurry Heart had decided to randomly add ingredients to the pudding.

Rainbow Dash is annoyed that Fluttershy wasn't specific about any likes or dislikes, but when she decides to just get a simple candle for her, Discord shows up to point out that, as a dear friend of Fluttershy, he knows it would not be an ideal gift for her. Rainbow tries a few other ideas, only for Discord to discourage her from all of them. Discord eventually convinces Rainbow to accept his advice, so he brings her to a forest to find a mouse-like critter for Fluttershy's animal sanctuary. But as soon as they return to meet with the others, Discord (being the troll he is) had failed to mention that particular critter turns into a giant monster after sunset.

When everyone meets up at Twilight's castle to exchange gifts, the first few to arrive are disappointed to have nothing to show for their efforts, then the rest end up being followed by trouble, with the mouse monster coming from outside and a magically enhanced flood of pudding coming from inside. As the monster is distracted by Spike covered in shiny materials from his gift, Discord reminds Fluttershy to do what she does best, and she is able to calm the beast down. As the magical pudding threatens to engulf everyone, Pinkie opens her special gift from the reindeer and it turns out to be the exact ingredients needed to disable the magical effects of the pudding. Later, as everyone settles down for exchanging gifts, despite not having much to give, everyone seems to be okay with the results. When Pinkie mentions the special message she was told by the reindeer, Twilight realizes that it was a riddle, and the answer to it is that friendship is the best gift ever.

Well, seeing how long this review turned out, I think it's obvious there sure was a lot going on. In addition the all the major events I just mentioned, I did like some of the minor stuff going on as well. It seems that after having the Apple family celebrate at the Pie family's home previously, this year the Pie family is celebrating at the Apple family's home, with the addition of Grand Pear and Big Mac's girlfriend Sugar Belle. We also got a brief glimpse of Starlight celebrating the holiday with Trixie. I also liked how the three magical reindeer lived in a place that would make most of us think of Santa's place at the North Pole. And one thing I particularly liked was how in the opening song we saw the Young 6 (in winter clothes) boarding a train to return to their homes, and in the closing song we saw among the many highlights were scenes of places like Yakyakistan and the Changeling Kingdom celebrating their versions of the holiday. All in all, definitely a worthy holiday special for this show.

Just recently revealed is that there will be three holiday-themed pony shorts on YouTube (I think this might be the first time we've seen such exclusive shorts for the Friendship is Magic series rather than Equestria Girls). They were released early in Chinese, but now they're starting to become available in English. Officially, only one of them has been released so far (the other two apparently got released early as some fans have uploaded them on DailyMotion, but as I've done before, I will not share any links of early releases, as I prefer to use the official links), so here's the link to that video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVY2BBPNvA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcVY2BBPNvA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rainbow Dash and Applejack are at it again with daring each other to do extremely difficult tasks. After both of them fail every single dare challenged to them, Pinkie Pie shows up and decides to break the tie by daring them both to not make any more dares, and when they both immediately refuse, Pinkie declares herself the winner of the dare challenge.

Not much for me to say for this one. It's pretty much the just usual shenanigans between Rainbow Dash and Applejack.

The second holiday short is now officially available on YouTube, so here's the link:

Spoiler: ShowHide
Pinkie Pie gathers her friends for some holiday fun by turning Applejack's barn in an escape room (like what they did in an episode in early Season 7). However, all of the tasks they have to do to find the key seem to make absolutely no sense at all, and once they eventually hit the time limit, the "penalty" is just Gummy being flung out of a giant present.

This short also didn't really interest me much at all. Sure, the escape room concept is neat, but applying Pinkie's complete randomness to it just ruins the experience for me. I'm not surprised at all that Pinkie was the only one to actually have fun, while the others were just flat out confused the whole time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T4R4JpW6ho (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T4R4JpW6ho)

Spoiler: ShowHide
At the School of Friendship, Rarity is attempting to teach the young six students about making Hearth's Warming dolls, but gets frequently interrupted by various announcements over the intercom, each with a different voice. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy are also just as annoyed, so the three of them go to confront the speakers, only to discover that it's only Applejack with an incredible talent of many voices. This give the others an idea to let Applejack use her talent in telling the story of Hearth's Warming to the students.

Unlike the other two shorts, I actually liked this one. Sure, it was understandably annoying that Applejack waited a few seconds between each different voice, but you have to admit that it's quite the talent. Not to mention, I'm always pleased to see the young six students, even if it was brief and with none of them saying anything.

No word yet on Season 9 of FiM, but Season 2 of the Equestria Girls series exclusively on YouTube has been announced. In fact, the first episode is scheduled to be released tomorrow, with each new episode coming every Friday (as was the case with Season 1). As I did last year, I'll review these Equestria Girls shorts/episodes every Saturday.

Alright, first Equestria Girls short of the year is out now. Looks like this first set of shorts will feature the main cast doing various things as if they were uploading their own YouTube videos, so this should be interesting. Here's the first one, featuring Spike the dog:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgvGSp7bRrE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgvGSp7bRrE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Spike's video "for his fans" is an unboxing of various (highly expensive) dog toys, his favorite of which being just a stinky sock. Near the end of the video, Twilight walks in and is very displeased with his $200 purchase, forcing him to rebox all that stuff and return it.

I didn't really like this one much, though I did find it rather amusing to see what a talking dog like Spike would probably do if he had a blog or a social media account.

The second Equestria Girls short is now up. This week, Applejack is featured in another of these vlog-type videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnNpOfPrtz4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnNpOfPrtz4)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Applejack's video is a DIY home improvement project, in this particular case, a dream closet for Rarity (who is holding the camera for the video). Applejack breaks down the whole process step-by-step, all 73 steps starting from scratch (with lots of fast-forwarding through various parts of the extensive video). Despite a few setbacks, Rarity insisting on certain details, and a very long amount of time, the project is completed with impressive results.

I figured Applejack's video would be a do-it-yourself project. While I wouldn't exactly call this short one of my favorites, I did find it rather amusing how she was so obsessed with starting from scratch (going as far as cutting down one of her own trees just for some lumber) and going for a level of perfection that I'd expect from Twilight. (I was also quite amused by all the parts that were "skipped over" to ensure that this short could stay withing its time limit.) At the very least, I'm glad that Applejack's project turned out great, despite the issues along the way.

Another new Equestria Girls short is now up. This week, Pinkie Pie is the subject in another vlog-type video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzHcT3Jdpo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzHcT3Jdpo)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Pinkie Pie's video is a step-by-step of how to bake cookies. With assistance from Tank and Gummy (the latter of which is just a plush toy), she measures and mixes the ingredients (eating too many chocolate chips in the process), bakes them in the oven, then finishes them with some sprinkles (which we all know for Pinkie leads to explosive results that can sometimes also be quite messy). The video ends with her sharing her finished cookies, which are pink with chocolate chips and she claims they taste like cotton candy.

Another rather mediocre short in my opinion, but at least I can appreciate the humor in this one, such as the running gag of Tank being too slow to sample anything throughout the video (and finally getting a taste at the end when Pinkie feeds him one of the finished cookies), not to mention Pinkie quickly regretting eating more than half a bowlful of chocolate chips.

Now here's something I sure wasn't expecting: an official MLP:FiM short is up on YouTube, so I guess this means both Equestria Girls and ponies are each going to have a digital series running at the same time (though I guess we won't know that for sure at least until next week). Anyway, here's the link to that new short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJiaBI3Ggkw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJiaBI3Ggkw)

Spoiler: ShowHide
At the spa, Rarity considers getting a new mane style, and an incident with an open window inspires her to try a moving style, much like Princesses Celestia and Luna. She tries many things, such as a spell from Starlight, hairspray, sticking her head out of a moving train, but none of them work. She eventually settles on simply having Spike use his wings to maintain a constant breeze against her mane, but even with his eagerness to always help her, he inevitably ends up fatigued.

I think it was interesting how, through the conversation between Twilight and Rarity, the moving manes and tails of Celestia and Luna are acknowledged. And of course, Rarity just can't face the reality that those two princesses are literally the only ponies in all of Equestria who are even capable of having such a thing. At least I got a few good laughs out of the montage of failures.

The next Equestria Girls short is up. This week, Trixie makes her attempt at a vlog-type video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCn5qfKcs6c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCn5qfKcs6c)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Trixie attempts some street magic, by literally going out onto the streets to perform the old sawed-in-half trick on Spike (who is very reluctant to be part of it). But just when she's about begin the trick for the gathered crowed, all of her props suddenly start floating around, and naturally, she believes it's her own doing and proudly takes credit for it. However, it's actually just Twilight hiding behind the crowd and using her magical powers.

This one is surprisingly short, at just over one minute (and that's with the intro and credits included). Seeing how big that box was around Spike, I doubt he would've been harmed, though I suppose him being at risk like that could be a reason why Twilight decided to discretely take action (either that, or she just likes trolling Trixie).

Post by: The Chronicler on February 06, 2019, 07:25:20 PM
Another FiM short recently went up, so I guess pony and EqG are both getting new content every week at alternating times. On the pony side, last week's short focused on Rarity, and this week's new short is on Twilight Sparkle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROtTk71qN7Y (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROtTk71qN7Y)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight is sick in bed due to spring allergies, leaving both her nose and her horn swollen red. While her friends and Spike try to help her feel better, they find out the hard way that (apparently unique only to alicorns) a magical accident occurs every time she sneezes. Rarity gets wheels on her hooves, Fluttershy suddenly ends up freezing cold, Applejack floats away uncontrollably, and Rainbow Dash finds herself speaking only in sound effects. Fortunately, Pinkie Pie arrives with a cure from Zecora, which quickly cures Twilight, and as a result reverses all of the magical accidents. Unfortunately, the cure comes with the side affect of turning Twilight into a baby.

I'll admit this one was rather amusing with all the accidents that occurred to everyone. It was also interesting that an alicorn catching something as simple as a common cold could cause widespread mayhem (good thing there are very few of them in Equestria). And of course, one does have to wonder how Twilight's friends are going to reverse that "tiny" side effect from the cure.

First of all, the next Equestria Girls long special will premiere on March 30. Details:

And of course, the next Equestial Girls short is out now. This week's vlog-type video features Rainbow Dash:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZwhbDbQrtU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZwhbDbQrtU)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rainbow Dash is showing off some skateboarding tricks to a group of kids at the skate park, but the main feature of her video is something supposedly super-awesome she's been training for weeks to pull off; her pet tortoise Tank riding his own skateboard. The actual stunt he pulls off is just going down a slope and over a short ramp, but as we see next, Rainbow later adds some special effects to the video.

So I guess we can add skateboarding to the list of physical activities Rainbow Dash enjoys, enough that she tried to get Tank involved too. Of course all Tank did was slowly push himself off the edge to roll down the ramp, but that modest stunt followed by Rainbow's special effects editing was quite amusing.

Time for this week's FiM short, this time featuring Fluttershy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJHld7LxwTs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJHld7LxwTs)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Fluttershy has just won teacher-of-the-month for the 16th time in a row, and at this point Rainbow Dash and Applejack are desperate to ask how she keeps doing it, so Fluttershy thinks back to some examples such as turning clean-up time into a dance party, teaching responsibility with cute animals, and replacing a rained-out field trip with a day of enjoying board games. Rainbow Dash and Applejack decide to use these examples to arrange a student appreciation day, with Fluttershy more than happy to let them have the credit for it. However, when one of them slips that it was originally Fluttershy's idea, she ends up winning teacher-of-the-month yet again.

This was a rather nice short, despite the joke of Fluttershy always winning teacher-of-the-month without even trying. At least this time, she was kind enough to share with Rainbow Dash and Applejack all of the possible reasons she could think of for why she kept winning, and being more than kind enough to give them a chance to do something similar for their students. Too bad the full truth being exposed ended up making the whole effort backfire.

Post by: The Chronicler on February 16, 2019, 10:40:52 PM
^The episode you're thinking of had that only as a catalyst for the plot, while that recent short focuses more on the subject itself.

Anyway, time for this week's Equestria Girls short, with the latest vlog-type video featuring Rarity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyVY6mdrNrU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyVY6mdrNrU)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rarity is out on the street to display her recent line of summer outfits, seemingly oblivious to the obvious fact that it's near the end of autumn. She practically forces her friends Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash to model some of the outfits, despite their obvious discomfort from the cold. It's not until they're all suddenly buried in snow that Rarity finally acknowledges she would've been better off doing all of this indoors.

The one is not exactly one of my favorites, mostly because Rarity is just ridiculously oblivious to the weather outside, especially when you consider the kind of clothes she typically wears would've made her just as susceptible to the cold as everyone else (to which I'd say it's a miracle she hasn't suffered from hypothermia), and is unable to face the facts until it practically hits her hard in the face when she and her friends end up literally buried under a ton of snow.


Also, just recently announced, it seems the months-long rumors have finally been officially confirmed; Season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will be the very last season of that show:

New MLP short, Starlight the Hypnotist! (https://youtube.com/watch?v=qHY9RaXUsus)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight comes to see Starlight in her guidance counselor’s office, confessing that she has a phobia of ladybugs ever since a time her brother told her that the black spots were additional eyes they use to watch you. Starlight thinks this is a good time as any to try out a book on magical hypnotism she’s been reading, and counsels Twilight that instead of fearing ladybugs, when she sees them she should... BOOM! Suddenly Pinkie busts through her door cheering about kite flying. Cut to the school grounds, Twilight is now laughing maniacally about flying a giant ladybug-shaped kite while Pinkie looks confused and Starlight facepalms.

I’m really glad to finally see Starlight in one of these shorts, and magical hypnotism is just the sort of plan she’d leap into without considering the consequences. Twilight’s phobia is pretty funny and the sight gags in the short were entertaining to watch. All in all 10/10 I personally wouldn’t change anything. More shorts with Starlight please!

Even though someone suddenly decided to beat me to it for once, I'll just maintain my consistency anyway. This week's MLP short, featuring Starlight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHY9RaXUsus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHY9RaXUsus)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight comes to Starlight's office and confesses having a lifelong fear of ladybugs, which becomes recently problematic due to Fluttershy assigning students to care for said critters. Starlight has been studying hypnotism lately and Twilight agrees to give it a try. The method is about to work, but Pinkie Pie (whose kite was just repaired by Starlight) suddenly barging in at exactly the wrong moment leads to an awkward result. Now, Twilight has been compelled to fly a ladybug-shaped kite and loudly taunt at it.

We all know Starlight's history of using magic to solve problems, but the way her intentions are presented here show an improvement, in my opinion. Starlight explains the process to Twilight and it is only with Twilight's agreement that she proceeds to try it. If not for Pinkie's impeccably poor timing, I'm sure it would have worked quite well (and I'm sure that if Starlight ever tries it again, she'll make sure to lock the door next time).

I just realized I forgot to mention that it was announced last week that there will be another MLP movie coming out in 2021, though it's not yet known if it will be G4 (with it's ninth and final season being this year) or G5 (no official word yet on even the existence of that).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/02/new-my-little-pony-movie-announced.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/02/new-my-little-pony-movie-announced.html)

Anyway, time for the next Equestria Girls short. This week's vlog-type video features Sunset Shimmer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeLjsjmYjBA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeLjsjmYjBA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunset has invited Fluttershy to be part of her latest video game streaming video, offering to let her choose the game they'll play. Naturally, Fluttershy chooses one with squirrels, the objective of which is to simply grab nuts, climb a tree, and place the nuts into a basket at the top, all while avoiding falling obstacles. As they play, Sunset quickly becomes very frustrated as just about everything goes wrong for her, while Fluttershy manages to make a perfectly clean run. Despite her frustrations, Sunset congratulates Fluttershy on doing so great for a first try.

Having watched many livestreams of various Lego video games myself, I find myself liking the subject of this short (I'd even consider this one to be my favorite of these vlog-type shorts). I can even sympathize with Sunset, as I know from personal experience just how frustrating it can be to struggle over and over with some task that shouldn't really be that difficult.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned here before, but sometime this year will be a one-hour special of MLP:FiM called "Rainbow Roadtrip", and based on some recent findings, it looks like that special will be animated in the same style as the 2017 Movie, so that should be interesting to see.

Anyway, time for this week's Pony short (and supposedly the last one of this collection), featuring Pinkie Pie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twbi1NBekM0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twbi1NBekM0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's a very hot day in Ponyville, but Sugar Cube Corner is about to reveal their new "Ice Cream Museum". Pinkie Pie is very excited to share it with everypony in town, but despite Mr. and Mrs. Cake's concerns about the heat, she keeps going on and on about how great the whole thing will be. By the time Pinkie finally gets around to unveiling the display, all of the ice cream has completely melted, though at least she still finds it delicious.

We all know Pinkie has a habit of talking endlessly about practically anything on her mind, so I'm glad that this time there was a notable consequence for that behavior, especially when her endless ramblings made her completely ignore Mr. and Mrs. Cake's warnings. But of course, Pinkie always manages to find the positives in any situation, and in this case, melted ice cream still tastes just like ice cream.

Another new Equestria Girls short this week, though I honestly don't know if this is another one of those vlog-type videos or something different. Anyway, this one features Applejack and Fluttershy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6DGtiNbMs8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6DGtiNbMs8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Applejack and Fluttershy host a pre-show to CHS's annual pet show. Fluttershy is very camera-shy at first, but once they get to meeting some of the pets, she becomes very eager to interview them (being the only one who can understand what they say), including a surprise entry of Applejack's dog. And even after interviewing the animals, Fluttershy maintains enough confidence to end the pre-show herself without any issues.

It's pretty much predictable by now that Fluttershy would be very shy when it comes to public speaking, but immediately gain a lot of confidence when she gets to her favorite subject of animals. At least here we got to see in addition to some of the known pets (Tank the tortoise and Winona the dog), we also saw some of the lesser characters also have their own pets (for example, Flash Sentry has a dog named Banana).

It's just been officially announced that Season 9 will premiere on April 6, so that's four weeks from now. (There's also a trailer out, but I'm not interested in watching it, as I personally would prefer to watch these episodes without knowing much more than the brief synopsis. The only synopsis out at this time is for the season premiere, and I must say that it seems quite unexpected, yet very interesting.)

Anyway, it looks like last week's and this week's Equestria Girls shorts are a two-parter, so to follow after last week's first part, here's the second part:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyy5peIMlhA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gyy5peIMlhA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The CHS Pet show has just finished, so Applejack and Fluttershy announce how the contestants finished. After a pass-by of the participants (including Pinkie's stuffed toy alligator Gummy), they announce third place went to Micro Chips and his robot (which they understandably question if it even counts as a pet), second place went to Rainbow Dash and Tank (Fluttershy claims the only reason they didn't do better was because Tank fell in love with Bulk Biceps' pet dog), and first place was a tie between Apple Bloom with Winona and Cranky Doodle with his pet dog.

I'm hardly a pet enthusiast, so there's not really much for me to say on this one. Though I was amused by Micro Chips' robot, which displayed facial expressions through a toaster.

Well, so much for hoping that we wouldn't get any leaks or early releases for once. This week's Equestria Girls short was released early on the Discovery Family app last week, and this week they've released the next three shorts. I'm going to stick with the YouTube schedule, since I just can't do so many reviews in such a short amount of time. With that said, here's this week's short, apparently now going back to the regular style:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WT22Bh5b_0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WT22Bh5b_0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's the first day of the new school year, but all of the Main 7 girls quickly discover that their schedules have given them classes without any of their friends, so they all go to Principal Celestia and she agrees to modify their schedules. However, the new schedules only lead to worse problems, and many of the girls now find themselves in classes where they clearly don't belong, so they go back to Principal Celestia. This time, Celestia understands that adjusting those seven schedules any further will just lead to more headaches, so she convinces them to agree to share at least one class period: lunch hour.

I'm sure we all remember what it was like getting our new class schedules at the beginning of the school year, with some students occasionally wishing to change their schedules for various reasons, which would always be allowed for only the first few days. In the case of this short, I can only imagine how difficult of a juggling act it must be to adjust seven different schedules so that some of them share classes, without leaving them in difficult or boring classes. I think the girls would've been better off getting together and discussing which particular classes they wanted to share and then request the proper changes to their schedules, rather than just rush straight to Principal Celestia and expect her to solve all of their problems right away.

Apparently someone in marketing was like "everyone's over last season's school plot, it's time to go full Game of Pones for the big finish." Honestly, that looked epic and I hope that high-intensity, high-stakes stuff happens throughout the season. Though I wasn't 100% sure if they weren't just describing the two parter opening, so it's possible it all gets wrapped up in a bow before the third episode. In which case, I'm also fine with one more season of slice-of-life episodes to wrap up a decade of pony

Isn't it crazy?

While obviously I'd prefer it keep going on forever, there is something elegant about the fact that the show started in 2010, the beginning of the decade, and is now ending in 2019. Humanity defines its pop culture by decades, and few shows have made such a huge impact on a single era of pop culture as the My Little Pony craze did on the 2010s. Nothing lasts forever, so it's kinda cool to think MLP and the 2010s will always be inextricably linked.

Here's this week's Equestria Girls short (as released on YouTube), featuring Twilight:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEwVUgR3tPg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEwVUgR3tPg)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Pinkie Pie has helped Twilight arrange a social gathering at the planetarium. Among the people attending is famous astrophysicist Rosette Nebula, who Twilight really wants to meet, but is also quite nervous about it. However, every time Twilight tries to walk up to Rosette, Pinkie's efforts to encourage Twilight instead end up embarrassing her into immediately backing off. Eventually, Pinkie decides to share a chocolate cake with space-themed frosting, which leads Twilight to unknowingly sharing a scientific fact with Rosette, which finally breaks the ice between them and allows the two to start sharing a conversation on scientific therories.

As someone who loves watching science documentaries (particularly on physics and astronomy), I absolutely loved the subject of this particular short, and it's nice to find out that the Equestria Girls world has a renowned astrophysicist (and since I'm familiar with some of the big names in that field of science in our world, I can totally sympathize with Twilight). Also, we saw in the background some of the other people in attendance were Sunset Shimmer and Timber Spruce, with the latter apparently trying to cheer up Twilight after Pinkie's antics had caused problems.


Next week, in addition to another Equestria Girls short, there's the one-hour Equestria Girls special "Spring Breakdown", and the week after that will be the premiere of Season 9 of MLP:FiM, so things are going to start getting busy here.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

First off, here's this week's Equestria Girls short, featuring Pinkie Pie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9QAjUaiY2g (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9QAjUaiY2g)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Pinkie's job at the diner is going great, offering excellent service to everyone and encouraging them to post their ratings on "Screech", where they all leave 5-star ratings for the restaurant - all except for an older lady who posts a 4-star rating. Pinkie's coworkers try to assure her that it's still a good review, but Pinkie (having enjoyed a perfect streak of perfect ratings) takes it very personally and goes all out to do everything she can to please the old lady. However, every single effort she makes just further aggravates the old lady, and it is only when Pinkie finally gives up walks away that the old lady is pleased enough to post that 5-star rating.

I guess this one just goes to show that, even after all this time, Pinkie still can't seem to grasp that not everyone is comfortable being with other people, and that pestering them in an effort to please them only makes things even worse. Personally, I think I would've liked it better if the old lady had kept posting progressively worse reviews the longer Pinkie kept pestering her in an effort to get her point across.


And of course, today was the premiere of the 44-minute Equestria Girls special, Spring Breakdown:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/03/equestria-girls-44-minute-special.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/03/equestria-girls-44-minute-special.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight has arranged for most of her fellow students a spring break party on a cruise ship, and everyone is excited. However, because of all their past experiences with Equestrian magic, Rainbow Dash is especially excited for what kind of magical threat they'll be facing this time, despite everyone else wishing to just enjoy a normal good time hanging out for once. Rainbow becomes so determined to find the next magical threat that she ends up ruining things for her friends (Pinkie gets banned from the buffet before she could sample a certain dessert she was eagerly anticipating, all the petting zoo animals become too scared to come out despite Fluttershy's efforts, and Applejack's seasickness isn't made any better, though at least Rarity manages to avoid such problems as she meets and falls in love with some Irish boy). Twilight and Sunset inform her of the trouble her efforts have caused, but at least they all remain positive enough to go on with a performance of their band later that night. However, just as they "pony-up" on stage, the power on the entire ship suddenly goes out, and the incoming stormy weather isn't making things any better.

While the rest of her friends try their best to restore order and salvage their vacation, Rainbow Dash remains convinced that some magical threat is behind everything, and becomes all but certain of it when a lighting strike causes a glowing symbol to appear in the water (which we would recognize as that of the Storm King). But by the time Rainbow drags her friends together, the symbol is gone, and they all refuse to hear her out any further. Later, Twilight begins to feel bad about how especially hurtful her words to Rainbow Dash had been, so she and Sunset decide to go apologize to her, only to discover one of the lifeboats is missing. After talking about the situation with the others, Twilight and Sunset set out in another lifeboat to find Rainbow Dash, while the rest stay behind to help resolve the other issues on the ship. Twilight and Sunset soon reach a small tropical island and find Rainbow stuck in a pit of quicksand. Their efforts to pull her out become much more difficult when a plant monster suddenly appears, but Sunset discovers something peculiar about the quicksand, so in an effort to escape, she shoves Rainbow down and pulls Twilight in with her. The quicksand pit turns out to be another portal to Equestria, so the three girls are now in that world... as ponies.

After Twilight and Rainbow get over the initial shock, Sunset helps them sneak through Ponyville and into Princess Twilight's castle. Pony Twilight is excited to learn the existence of another portal to Equestria, and since the three girls believe there's no serious trouble in their world, they agree to stay and talk about various things for a while. Unfortunately in the other world, the storm has gotten much worse, sending the ship towards the small island, then striking a rock and begins to sink, and then all of the lifeboats are destroyed at the same time by (as Pinkie Pie remarks) an oddly specific lightning strike. Back in Equestria, as pony Twilight begins talking about the Storm King, Rainbow Dash suddenly recognizes his symbol. Pony Twilight realizes that some of the Storm King's magic must've leaked into the other world, and the only way to remove it is to use the Staff of Sacanas (which happens to be in her possession). The three girls quickly bring the staff with them back to their world, and just as the Storm King's symbol appears in the sky for all to see, they successfully use the staff to seal away the final remnant of the Storm King's magic. With the magical storm now cleared, the three girls return to the sinking ship and help their friends evacuate everyone on board. Although everyone is safe but seemingly stranded on an island, Sunset reveals the way back home, and takes them all with her through the quicksand portal to Equestria and to the other portal in Twilight's castle.

I liked how after all of the previous magical incidents the girls have been through, Rainbow Dash was practically anticipating they were going to face another one (and even seemed thrilled about it), while the rest of her friends just wanted to have a good time without any magical trouble for once. Rainbow even goes so far as to say that they're superheroes, though the others prefer the see themselves as just normal girls trying to live normal lives. I liked how this remark is used again when the three girls are in Equestria listening to Princess Twilight's adventures with her friends, and human Twilight realizes just how similar the two groups of friends actually are. In the end, not only do the girls ultimately embrace their role as superheroes, Rainbow also learns to not go out looking for problems to solve if there aren't any (much like what Starlight Glimmer taught Sunset Shimmer back in the Mirror Magic special). Overall, I felt that it went a little too slow in the beginning and a little too fast in the ending (that final scene felt especially abrupt), but it was a good special that I enjoyed watching.

You should all check this out. (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/mlp-season-9-opener-animatic-3-this.html) It's "Equestria Daily's" coverage of some images and animatics of the final season.

First off, this week's Equestria Girls short, featuring Rarity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNGK9gNzgnc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNGK9gNzgnc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
When Rainbow Dash turns down Rarity's request to hang out due to "other plans", Rarity decides to investigate. By use of a taxi, she follows Rainbow and Twilight (both riding Rainbow's motorcycle), who meet up with Sunset and Fluttershy, all who appear to be having a good time just hanging out. Rarity interprets this as her friends not wanting to do things with her anymore, so she sadly returns home, only to suddenly discover her friends throwing her a surprise birthday party, which quickly cheers her back up.

What can I say? This one is just like the pony show's Season 1 episode Party of One, except with Rarity instead of Pinkie Pie. In both cases, I can't help but get the impression that trying to plan a surprise birthday party for a close friend could end up being more trouble than it's worth (even worse if they're even aware that it's their birthday), regardless of the final success. Also, missed opportunity here to see the exterior of Rarity's house (all we saw was the front door).


And since this is the last of the early-released shorts, we're now back to not knowing what's next (though I'm guessing the six parts of Spring Breakdown will probably be the next group of "shorts" to be released).

Well, now it's time to begin the final season of My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic. (Since I prefer to not link to unofficial videos, the links I'll be posting will be for the discussion page on Equestria Daily, which should provide reliable links to watch the episodes of interest.)
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-1-2.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-1-2.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
In Part 1, Twilight and her friends receive letters asking them to meet with Princesses Celestia and Luna, who tell them that things in Equestria have been running so smoothly in recent years that the two of them have decided to retire, and pass rulership of Equestria over to Twilight with the assistance of her friends. Twilight is understandably very nervous, especially since the planned transfer of power is due to occur in just a few days, and despite Celestia assuring her that everything she and her friends had been through over the years had been preparing her for this all along.

Meanwhile, Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow, and King Sombra (apparently revived just for this purpose) are all suddenly summoned together by Grogar, a very ancient evil creature who was supposedly the very first emperor of the lands that would later become Equestria. Grogar had been slowly regaining his strength and believes the only way to regain power is to gather all the evil masters together and work as a group to defeat Twilight and her friends. The others are skeptical, particularly Sombra, who claims he could take over the Crystal Empire by himself. Grogar gives him a deal; successfully take the Crystal Empire himself and he can keep it, but failure will force him to submit to Grogar.

Sombra wastes no time invading the Crystal Empire, taking control over the minds of the crystal ponies, and capturing Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. Thanks to Cadance sending a message quickly enough, Twilight is alerted, who immediately gathers her friends together. Believing this would be a perfect chance to prove they're worthy of ruling Equestria, and because Twilight is especially worried for her relatives there, they decide to take no chances and bring the Elements of Harmony with them. When they face off against Sombra, the Elements allow them to resist his fear powers long enough for Spike to free Cadance, who then recovers the Crystal Heart, weakening Sombra enough for the Elements to seemingly finish him off. The Main 6 later return the Elements to the Tree of Harmony, and as they talk about how easy that had been, Sombra suddenly reappears and shatters both the Tree and the Elements.

In Part 2, Sombra reveals that he used his apparent defeat to track down the source of their friendship power, and after trapping them in a crystal cage, he leaves to conquer Ponyville. The Main 6 are able to dig their way out of the cage, but by the time they reach Ponyville, Sombra has already taken control of the minds of everyone in town and is gathering them into an army to conquer Canterlot and thus all of Equestria. The Main 6 are powerless to save anyone, and worse due to the loss of the Tree of Harmony, the Everfree Forest has begun to grow out of control into Ponyville.

Sombra marches into Canterlot almost effortlessly, and with Celestia and Luna mysteriously already gone, he easily takes control of the city. Meanwhile, Twilight decides to focus on stopping the Everfree Forest first, but she and her friends end up fighting to a stalemate. Eventually, Celestia and Luna arrive, summoned by Starswirl the Bearded, who had sensed the Tree of Harmony's destruction. Because Starswirl and his fellow Pillars used to keep the Everfree Forest in check before they had planted that Tree, he, Celestia, and Luna stay to deal with it so that the Main 6 can go to Canterlot to deal with Sombra. When they get there, they are joined by Discord, who agrees to help only after they all beg for his assistance. Discord easily holds off Sombra's attacks, but upon discovering Discord's particular fondness for Fluttershy, Sombra focuses an attack directly at her, and Discord takes the hit.

With Discord seemingly weakened to powerlessness, Sombra claims there's now nothing the Main 6 can do to stop him. But Discord reminds the girls that even without the Elements of Harmony, they are still who they are and they still have their friendship, which is what brought them to hold the Elements in the first place. The six girls stand together and proving that friendship really is magic, they awaken the power within themselves that destroys Sombra and returns all of Equestria back to normal. Later, when Twilight confesses that she's not ready to rule Equestria due to not seeking outside help in the first place, Celestia and Luna point out that great leaders acknowledge when they make mistakes and try to correct them, and the two sisters admit they too made the mistake of trying to force Twilight onto their throne so quickly. Although they still plan to retire, they have now agreed to wait a little longer until Twilight is absolutely ready. Meanwhile, with Sombra's defeat, Grogar declares it as an example to the other villains for why they must work together if they wish to succeed.

Definitely a lot to take in for this one. It's interesting to think that Celestia arranging for Twilight to eventually take her place as ruler of Equestria (which I've heard was Lauren Faust's original plan for the show's finale back before it all started) could've been planned for a long time since the very beginning, based on her claim that all the adventures Twilight and her friends had been on could be considered training them to one day take on such a role. The fact that Celestia and Luna were rather excited about helping Starswirl fight back the Everfree Forest as it reminded them of old times when they didn't have to worry about ruling Equestria could be seen as an example of why they even have the desire to retire. And with the introduction of Grogar (another reimagined G1 villain like Tirek), we now have essentially the ultimate evil scheme; combining the forces of all the past villains together (which with another interesting point happens to be exactly the kind of thing the Main 6 have done every time but never done by any of the villains, so this could be seen as now using their greatest weapon against them). Sure, there's still the issue of the destroyed Tree of Harmony, but according to the synopsis I've read, it looks like that'll be addressed in next week's new episode. All in all, an interesting set-up for the final season, which now leaves me especially looking forward to what the finale will be like.

As I had expected, this week's Equestria Girls release on YouTube is Part 1 of the Spring Breakdown special:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFuDAor3mLc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFuDAor3mLc)

Though I've already posted a review on the whole special, I'll say a few thoughts on each part (and keep them in spoiler tags, just in case if some of you have not yet seen it.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Like I said, the first half of the whole special went too slow and the second half went too fast. As a result, this first part is arguably my least favorite, mostly because Rainbow Dash spends the majority of it being a terrible nuisance to many of her friends, all because she's expecting a magical threat like every other big occasion, which the rest of the girls would rather not have to deal with for once. Also, a rather poor cliffhanger, as that's obviously just Trixie on the stage.


And of course, we have today's new episode as well.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-3.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-3.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
All six of the Young 6 students have a shared dream where they see the spirit of the Tree of Harmony asking them to come to it immediately. They all return to the School of Friendship well before the start of the new school year, and when they tell Twilight why they're there, she sadly explains to them about the Tree's destruction. She takes them to the site of the Tree, which is now just a pile of crystal fragments. They agree that why the Tree had called them to its remains is so they could honor its memory in some way. But before they can do anything, all but Sandbar have to return home and get permission slips signed so they can be allowed to stay.

However, once they all get back together, they each have different ideas on what exactly they should do. Sandbar (having already gotten started due to not having to leave) has cleared away all the remnants of the Tree and planted a new sapling in its place, Gallus wants to turn the cave into a museum about the Tree and its Elements, Smolder wants to build a stone monument of the Tree to stand where it was, Silverstream wants to paint art of the Tree and Elements on the walls and floor of the cave, and Ocellus wants to wants to turn the cave into a meditative place, while Yona is the only one with no particular idea and just wants her friends to work together. Inevitably, everyone's different efforts conflict to the point where everything just ends up as a big mess.

Fed up with all of her friends arguing, Yona finally speaks up and reminds them all about the importance of their friendship. The six students reconcile, and with Yona discovering the fragments of the Tree of Harmony in a wagon hidden to the side, they all agree to reassemble the fragments into a makeshift clubhouse. Though they acknowledge its shoddy construction, they accept it because they built it together as friends. As soon as all six of them set foot inside, the structure suddenly starts to glow with magic, and just as they all escape, the structure changes shape and grows into a much larger building, up on the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters above that cave. Twilight, having felt the burst of magic, rushes over to find out what happened, but the Young 6 are just as confused. Twilight realizes that the Tree of Harmony has somehow partially survived and, thanks to the efforts of the Young 6, has now grown into a new form, and she allows them to make use of the new crystal clubhouse.

I always love seeing episodes featuring the Young 6, and with this one essentially being a follow-up of the season premiere, it was great to see the question of the Tree of Harmony's fate get answered in a rather interesting way. The Elements might be gone, but the Tree will now live on in a new form with a new group of friends to care for it. Also, the six students actually sang a song together while they were building the clubhouse, which I believe was their first song either as a group or for any of them (I don't count the song from the Season 8 premiere, as they sounded more like a chorus that was difficult to pick out individual voices). Overall, even though it's still very early in the season, I can easily see this episode as being one of my favorites.

This week, we have Part 2 of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9GvqzCuv94 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9GvqzCuv94)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rainbow Dash's selfish desire to fight evil magic continues to make her look bad. Also in this part, Rarity falls in love with crewman Ragamuffin, a guy with a very thick Cockney accent (can't even properly pronounce Rarity's name) and has a striking resemblance to Applejack. None of these things really interested me much, so it's definitely another part of the slow first half. At least this part had a good song played by the Rainbooms.


And for this week's new episode, it also happens to be the 200th episode of the entire series. What makes this one unique is that (according to what I've heard) the voice actresses of the seven main characters (Main 6 and Spike) shared ideas of what they had always wanted to see in the show, and the writers combined as many of those ideas they could into a reasonable story. Anyway, here's the usual links:

Twilight receives a letter from Shining Armor reminding her about the friendly competitions they used to do when they were young with the prize being a certain paper crown, and now they were going to have one last challenge to earn the final bragging rights. As a result of Princess Celestia asking Shining Armor to improve security at Canterlot Castle, he has decided to test it all by asking Twilight and her friends to try to infiltrate the place with the goal of grabbing that old paper crown in the throne room. Twilight comes up with an elaborate plan utilizing everyone's strengths: Pinkie distracts the guards, Rarity sneaks in with a disguise, Applejack smashes through a sealed back entrance, Rainbow Dash overwhelms the air resistance, and Fluttershy calms the geese that serve as a final alarm.

However, everyone believes Shining Armor knows Twilight so well that he'll totally expect that kind of plan, so her friends instead come up with their own ideas for a completely unexpected plan: Rarity and Rainbow Dash will ask around for secret information, Applejack will distract the guards with a comeback performance as country singer "Apple Core", Pinkie Pie will make observations from space, Spike and Fluttershy will infiltrate the throne room like secret spies, and Twilight will do absolutely nothing. However, many things go wrong for all of them, and they fail to reach the paper crown.

Fortunately, they were not caught, so for a second attempt, they all agree to finally utilize Twilight's strengths and just go with her original "expectable" plan, and it quickly proves much more successful, but as feared, Shining Armor totally saw it coming. But just when it seems Shining has won, Spike reveals that he has taken possession of the paper crown, thanks to his secret idea from the very beginning to cooperate with Princess Luna, who was very obviously disgruntled by Celestia refusing to consult her on improving security. As a result, Spike, the little brother who was never part of the sibling competition, wins that paper crown for the first time ever.

This was a rather fun episode, I'll give it that. I'm sure there's a lot of things that fans loved finally seeing in the show, such as Spike receiving some long overdue family appreciation. Not to mention, Zephyr Breeze is so obviously not fit for guard duty that his presence among the guards should've been a major clue that an inside job was going on. Speaking of which, I have to say it was very ingenious of Spike to secretly work with Luna to outwit everyone else on both sides. Overall, with lots of funny moments and without too much cringe, I'd consider this a very good episode.

Here's Part 3 of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sru9dtw9q08 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sru9dtw9q08)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So Rainbow Dash finally sees evidence of Equestrian magic in the form of the Storm King's symbol appearing in the water, and her first reaction is to immediately drag all of her friends over to see it. Not only is it predictably gone by the time she tries to show them, but she also grabbed half of them (Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity) with especially bad timing for them. That, combined with her earlier behavior, and it's no wonder none of her friends are willing to believe her. With tensions between them rising so much, I wasn't surprised that Rainbow decided to go off on her own. At least Twilight later felt bad about what she said and tried to apologize, even though Rainbow had already run off by that point. Overall, better than the previous two parts, but definitely not as good as the remaining upcoming parts.


And here's this week's new episode:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-5-point.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/04/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-5-point.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Princess Celestia has decided to clean out Twilight's old room in Canterlot, and sends her a box full of some of her old things. As Twilight and Spike go though the contents of that box, Twilight is horrified to find a book she had borrowed from the library, and since it's been a long time since she last borrowed any books from Canterlot, she knows it's way past overdue. (Apparently, it was one of the last books she ever checked out before she was sent to Ponyville. In fact, way back in the very first episode, Twilight was so desperate to find out more about the Elements of Harmony that she had carelessly tossed this library book under the sofa and thus completely forgot about it.) Despite putting her perfect record in jeopardy, she knows she has to return it immediately, so she and Spike head over to Canterlot. As they try to do so, they discover that Dusty Pages, the old librarian who Twilight used to be good friends with, no longer works there as a result of her own perfect record being tarnished by a single book not being returned on time, which Twilight naturally assumes is the very one she now has.

Twilight decides to set aside her efforts to return the book and instead focuses on finding Dusty Pages to apologize for presumably ruining her life. She and Spike start at her house, but discover she's moved out and the current owner only knows that she went to "Silver-something". After searching across much of Equestria, they find out she now lives in a retirement home, and after some more running around, they finally meet up with her. Although she's very happy to see Twilight again, when Twilight suggests making things right from the effects of that overdue library book, Dusty Pages states that she refuses to ever go back to that library.

Twilight is upset at first, but at Spike's suggestion, they decide to talk to Dusty Pages. Once they catch up to her and ask why she doesn't want to go back, she reveals that the end of her perfect record actually felt liberating and made her realize that she wanted more out of life than just spending every day at a library. In a rather ironic twist, it is only now that Twilight finds out that the overdue library book is about how perfectionism is an unrealistic way of life. Assured that Dusty Pages is better off now, Twilight and Spike return to Canterlot to finally return that book. Even there, things don't turn out so bad, as the late fees maxed out after only a month, and the library got a replacement copy long ago. At Spike's suggestion, the current librarian even allows Twilight to keep that old book, if only to serve as a reminder to not be so obsessed with perfection.

I've been doing weekly volunteer work at my local library for years, so I'm actually a little familiar with how things work in a library. I knew Twilight was overreacting about the overdue book, and she did the right thing to get the issue sorted out, even though that library got a replacement copy some time ago. It was interesting to see how that library book was lost as a result of the events from the very beginning of the whole series, not to mention Moondancer making an appearance as well. What really did surprise me was how Dusty Pages completely reevaluated her whole life as a result of that overdue book, and since she appears to be much happier because of it, I'm not going to make any arguments about it. I honestly can't believe it took until near the end of the episode for Twilight to even know what that overdue book was even about, so that sure must've been embarrassing for her. With all of that in mind, I consider this to be a rather good episode.

Part 4 of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYilwmF8JSA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYilwmF8JSA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
In this part, Sunset and Twilight get on a lifeboat to find Rainbow Dash, while the others stay behind. For Rainbow, it's really quite a shame that it's not until she ends up stuck in a quicksand pit that she finally apologizes for her behavior. That plant monster was clearly meant to be a sign of Equestrian magic in the area, though I do find it odd how it's not seen or mentioned again in the later parts. And of course, there's the discovery that the quicksand pit is actually a second portal to Equestria, setting things up for the really interesting stuff in the next part. So yes, this part is where this special really starts to get interesting.


And in this week's new episode, the return of a character voiced by a famous celebrity.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-6.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-6.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Buckball has now become so huge that Appleloosa has built a major stadium and a hall of fame, with the first featured athletes being the Ponyville team: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Snails. Joining them in Appleloosa are Rainbow Dash and Snips, and while Snips takes advantage of Snails' new fame to make a fortune, Rainbow reluctantly fulfills a promise to Applejack, who couldn't be there, to see every exhibit in the new buckball museum. It's outside that museum where Rainbow meets her old friend Quibble Pants, where he tries to express himself as an expert on the sport, but it's obvious he knows nothing about athletics. It's not long before Quibble introduces Rainbow to his new family: his girlfriend Clear Sky, and her daughter from a previous marriage Wind Sprint. Wind Sprint is into sports because her father was a major athlete, and she has no interest in any of the nerdy stuff Quibble is more into. Quibble and Sky both love each other very much, but Quibble knows he can't make it work if Wind Sprint doesn't want anything to do with him, so that's where he turns to Rainbow Dash for help.

For Quibble's first attempt, he buys a large almanac about buckball rules and statistics from the gift shop as a gift for Wind Sprint, but she doesn't like it because it's a book. Next, Rainbow tries to train him in all the basic forms of athletics in hopes that he'll gain more respect from Wind Sprint, but he's completely pathetic in every aspect with no hope of short-term improvement. Finally, Rainbow arranges a half-time event where Quibble and Wind Sprint compete on the field against the Ponyville team, but even with Pinkie and Fluttershy going easy on them, Quibble's terrible athleticism just makes it a bad experience for Wind Sprint.

Clear Sky believes Quibble has been simply trying too hard to gain Wind Sprint's approval, so for a final attempt, Rainbow decides to just have them all watch the buckball game together and let things happen. Gradual bits of small talk between Quibble and Wind Sprint slowly bring them together, such as Wind Sprint informing Quibble of some basics of the game, and Quibble sharing some insightful statistics from that almanac he bought earlier. As a result, Quibble and his new family are well on their way to getting along just fine.

What makes this episode particularly special is that Quibble and his family are voiced by that celebrity and his actual family, with his daughter making her acting debut, so that makes another special type of episode for the final season. This show has occasionally made realistic portrayals of less than ideal family arrangements (such as the absence of Applejack's parents), but this one is explicitly about families where one parent is gone and the other parent starts a new relationship with someone else and the child struggles to be okay with it. In fact, much like how we were never told what happened to Applejack's parents, this episode doesn't even give any hint on what happened to Wind Sprint's father (death or divorce are to two main reasons such a thing ever happens, and neither of them is ever implied over the other in this case, so that detail is left entirely to fan speculation). In addition, it seems buckball has now become outrageously popular throughout Equestria, and the Ponyville team that we saw formed in an earlier episode are now the big stars of the sport. Overall, a very nice episode, and especially relevant to the types of real families in similar arrangements.

Part 5 of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT5z3BOXoDM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT5z3BOXoDM)

Spoiler: ShowHide
I think we can all agree that this was the part of the special we were most looking forward to: the part where Sunset, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash end up in Equestria (in the case of Twilight and Rainbow, this is perhaps the very first time anyone native to the human world has ever crossed a portal into Equestria). I liked some of the subtle details of the girls struggling to get used to their pony bodies, such as Rainbow letting her wings hang down rather than resting them against her sides like most pegasi, and Twilight being not very well coordinated in using magic (though at least she has some familiarity thanks to her magical geode powers, it's just needing to used a different limb in this case). And of course, it was amusing to see the three girls sneaking their way through Ponyville to reach Princess Twilight's castle, because Sunset knows the counterparts of her friends live there and wants to avoid any awkward confusion (and narrowly avoids such an incident with pony Rainbow Dash).


And here's this week's new episode:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-7-shes.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-7-shes.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight has arranged to have the School of Friendship host an annual dance that Ponyville has held for years, only this year it has been renamed to appeal to other creatures besides ponies. The Young 6 are among the many students interested in attending, with Sandbar particularly interested in asking Yona to go with him. Yona agrees, but soon worries about not being "pony enough" for such a seemingly formal event, so she turns to Rarity for advice. Rarity is more than willing to use every effort to turn Yona into a sophisticated pony, with some assistance from Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Applejack. It takes a lot of hard work, but they are eventually successful, just in time for the dance.

At the dance, when Yona arrives, her friends are completely confused by her new highly sophisticated appearance and behavior, especially Sandbar, but Yona insists she had to do it for the pony who asked her to this dance. Despite his apprehension, Sandbar tries to make the best of it, but as the night progresses, Yona's clumsiness gradually gets more and more out of control until eventually the entire dance hall is completely wrecked, prompting Yona to run away tearfully.

Sandbar finds Yona weeping at the Treehouse of Harmony, and explains to her that he asked her out because he liked her just the way she always was, and didn't want her to change just for him. With encouragement from Sandbar, Yona returns to the dance and apologizes for destroying everything, but then Rarity and her friends apologize for their attempts to turn Yona into something she wasn't. Yona is welcomed back by everyone, and as a gesture of including more than just pony traditions, they all ask her to teach them the traditional Yak dance.

Normally, I'd enjoy any episodes featuring any of the Young 6, but this one I didn't really like all that much. All that effort into putting so many changes to Yona in both appearances and behavior was just too much cringe for me (to the point it reminded me of Brotherhooves Social, my absolute least favorite episode of the entire series). Even so, at least it was interesting to see one of the Young 6 (Yona in this case) interacting with much of the Main 6 on her own. We also finally got to see some of the interior of that new Treehouse of Harmony. So even though I often like episodes with the Young 6, I did not care much for the subject of this one (with a rather predicable outcome, at that), so I'm going to call it a mediocre episode.

Here's Part 6, the final part of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr28fYGOQdE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr28fYGOQdE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So this part is where Sunset, Twilight, and Rainbow return from Equestria to capture the Storm King's magic, and then the girls rescue everyone from the sinking ship. As I said in my review of the entire special, the beginning was too slow and the ending was too fast, and this final part definitely displayed the latter with how quickly everything was resolved, especially the question of how everyone got home from that island. Seeing everyone on that ship having to pass through Equestria (as ponies) to get home would've been very amusing to see, but instead all we see of that is a sudden-end gag.


Next week will be back to regular Equestria Girls shorts (though much like last season, they've been releasing early on the Discovery Family app recently).

Anyway, here's this week's new episode (arguably one of my favorites for this season):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-8.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-8.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Grogar's alliance of evil has not been getting along well as Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow keep frequently getting on each other's nerves. While Grogar leaves for a short time, Cozy tries to rally the other two to work together for their common goal of destroying the Main 6, but not even a villain song is enough to get them over their differences. Grogar returns and in a desperate attempt to force them to work together, he assigns the three with the task of recovering his stolen magical bell from a magically sealed cave at the top of Mount Everhoof.

Predictably, they start off going separately: Chrysalis makes it a good distance up the mountain by transforming into various creatures suitable for each part, but the final push to the peak is just too harsh for her alone. Cozy Glow comes across a hut inhabited by the guardian pony Rusty Bucket and tries to manipulate him into helping her reach the summit, but not only is his job to not let anyone climb the mountain, he also doesn't fall for her manipulation thanks to reading his copy of Twilight's friendship journal. And Tirek simply waits at the base of the mountain until the other two inevitably fail so he can later make his own attempt without repeating their mistakes.

After failing their first attempts and regrouping, they manage to bond over their shared desire to make Twilight and her friends suffer, so they agree to actually try working together. Through remarkable teamwork, they successfully reach the summit, but the final obstacle is a magical barrier blocking the entrance to the cave holding Gorgar's bell. In a remarkable case of cunning and trust, Chrysalis allows Tirek to take her magic, giving him just enough strength to punch open a hold just big enough for Cozy to fly through and take the bell, then after Cozy returns with the bell, Tirek keeps his promise and returns Chrysalis's magic back to her. The three are very impressed by what their teamwork was able to accomplish, and are even right on the verge of behaving like the main ponies learning a friendship lesson, but quickly realize just how much they were sounding just like the ponies they despise so much. Instead, they recognize that Grogar is by far the most powerful threat, so they come up with a secret plan to work together only until Grogar is out of the way, and they start off by hiding the bell away and lying to him that they failed to recover it.

I found this to be a very interesting episode, as it focused exclusively on the villains. Based on all kinds of media I've seen/heard/read, I've come to the belief that it's much more difficult to hold together a team of villains than a team of heroes, and this episode did a very good job of demonstrating that. Even more exciting to see was how they are now planning to eventually betray Grogar, which they hope to achieve by deceiving him and keeping his bell for themselves. (In all honesty, this is the kind of epic sequence of events I normally expect to see with Bionicle, so that left me very impressed.) Ultimately, I think this episode will have a huge impact on the season/series finale, and I really like how it's shaping up so far. And of course, we got a villain song, complete with quite a few fourth-wall breaks for added humor.


Just a heads up, the rest of the episodes for the first half of this season (that's the next five episodes) are being released early in Italy over the next few days, so be careful to avoid spoilers (I'm not going to watch them, since I don't speak Italian). I swear, if these foreign early releases occur again for the second half of this season, I'll be very disappointed and upset, because that won't be just a season finale, but the series finale as well, and it would be quite a shame if anyone outside the US got to see it first.

Back to Equestria Girls shorts, and this week's YouTube release happens to be a music video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2TamlJy95s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2TamlJy95s)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This music video is pretty much about the girls hanging out on the cruise ship from Spring Breakdown. Since we know that ship ended up sinking at the end of the special, it's safe to assume this short took place immediately before the events of Spring Breakdown. Also, if you saw the trailer for these shorts earlier this year, you may have wondered why certain scenes on the boat didn't appear in the special, but now it's obvious those extra scenes are actually from this music video.


And of course, here's this week's new episode:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-9.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/05/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-9.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Smolder asks permission to miss school for a week so she can return home to help support her brother. Spike offers to go with her to help provide that support, and Fluttershy insists on joining them when she hears it also happens to be hatching season for the dragons, conveniently providing the authority for Twilight to grant that permission. Once the trio arrive in the Dragon Lands, Fluttershy flies off to find the nesting area, and while Smolder goes to find her brother (who she claims is quite a softie compared to other dragons), Spike waits around with ideas on how to help, only to get frustrated when Garble and his friends show up to mess with him. Smolder eventually returns and it turns out her brother is actually Garble, who apparently has insecurities that he doesn't want his friends to know about. With Spike calling out Garble's attitude towards him, Smolder warns her brother to not mess with Spike while she's around.

Fluttershy finds the nesting area and absolutely adores the sight of all those eggs. Dragon Lord Ember is also there, and although none of those eggs are hers, she admits it's her first time overseeing hatching season and doesn't really know much about how to handle it. This is especially problematic because those eggs are overdue for hatching and Ember isn't sure what's wrong with them. Fluttershy offers to help, but none of her efforts work, only discovering that the eggs occasionally shake a little for reasons Ember can't figure out. Meanwhile, Smolder and Spike hang out with Garble and his friends, but despite Smolder's warning, Garble continues to bully Spike behind her back. Fluttershy meets up with them and when she sees what's going on, she immediately scolds Garble and his friends for their rude behavior. Impressed by how Fluttershy was able to talk them down, Spike offers to trade places with her.

Fluttershy catches up to Smolder and Garble and discovers that Garble is secretly a poet who plays bongo drums, then points out in front of Smolder that Garble is so embarrassed about risking looking bad in front of his friends that he's been tormenting Spike to compensate. Meanwhile, Spike meets up with Ember and quickly realizes the ground is actually too cold for the eggs, with the shaking actually being shivering. There's supposed to be a pool of lava directly beneath the nesting area to warm the ground, but they soon discover that Garble's friends have been draining the lava pool for their own selfish activities, completely unaware of the consequences. With the eggs too fragile to move and the lava pool refilling too slowly, Ember's only solution is to gather all the dragons together and use their fire breaths directly onto the eggs. The flames aren't hot enough, but when Garble suddenly remembers that prolonged laughter from dragons produces increasingly hotter fire breath, he publicly expresses his poet side, driving the other dragons to so much laughter that the eggs finally hatch. Despite the humiliation, Garble ends up commended for his efforts by Ember, which in turn encourages his friends to gain interest in his secret hobby.

I found it neat to see more of the dragon lands, especially now that we've known Smolder for a while and thus have a newfound perspective on dragon culture. Ever since Smolder revealed she has a brother (back in the middle of the previous season), the popular fan belief was that her brother was actually Garble, who we've previously met a couple times as someone who likes to bully Spike a lot, so it was certainly nice to see that turn out to be completely true. Also especially nice to see was Fluttershy, who used to have a crippling fear of dragons back in the early seasons of the show, is now assertive enough to vocally stand up to those dragon bullies. And of course, we learned that dragon eggs require extremely high heat to be capable of hatching (which does beg the question of how filly Twilight was able to hatch Spike's egg). I also have to give credit to Garble (who bullied others to avoid being bullied himself, much like Babs Seed back in Season 3) for deliberately subjecting himself to public humiliation for the sake of helping the other dragons, proving that he really isn't such a terrible guy after all. Overall, another very good episode for a final season full of them.

This week's Equestria Girls short is another music video, featuring Rainbow Dash:

Spoiler: ShowHide
I'm not exactly sure what the song is about as I didn't really pay much attention to the lyrics. The visuals were just that much more interesting, as it has the interesting portrayal that because Rainbow Dash moves around so fast, the world from her perspective appears to be in slow motion. As least she's nice enough to put her super speed to good use by preventing some mishaps around her friends.


And here's this week's new episode:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-10.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-10.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack is excited over the once-in-a-hundred-moons confluence when everything is ready for harvest at the same time. Of course, this means a lot of hard work for the Apple family, enough that Big Mac has become sleep deprived just from drawing up the harvest plan. And with Applejack's friends too busy with school duties, the only outside help they can get is a pony that Granny Smith called in, Goldie Delicious (the one who's always surrounded by cats). With so much to get done in so little time, Goldie mentions a magical spirit known as the Great Seedling, said to provide bountiful harvests every year to anyone who is able to catch it. Naturally, Apple Bloom is excited by this and tries to set traps around the orchard to catch the Great Seedling.

As the harvest gets underway, Applejack is frustrated that Apple Bloom is wasting her time setting traps for a creature she doubts even exists rather than actually helping with the harvest. Applejack even accuses Goldie of setting up false beliefs, especially after they discover "evidence" in the form of apples on the ground in intricate patterns. Eventually, Granny Smith points out that Applejack used to be a big believer in the Great Seedling, and tells the story of how during the previous harvest confluence, the young filly ended up falling into one of her own traps, and after being stuck there all day eventually decided to stop believing in the magical spirit. Applejack and Apple Bloom soon make an agreement with Apple Bloom helping with the harvest and Applejack helping to set traps later that evening.

The next day, with even greater "evidence", Applejack has become much more passionate about trying to catch the Great Seedling, even at the expense of the harvest work, forcing a still sleep-deprived Big Mac to do much of the work on his own. Even so, the Apple sisters start bonding quite well when Applejack suggests simply waiting out in the orchard at night to try catching the Great Seedling themselves. When they encounter a shadowy figure that night, they panic at first, but eventually discover that it was actually Big Mac doing harvesting at night (thus explaining his constant sleep deprivation). Despite the Great Seedling turning out to be (possibly) not real, the Apple family had a good time together and managed to complete the harvest.

I have to admit, I had been expecting this to be a rather lackluster episode, but I was quite pleasantly surprised in a number of ways. I had expected tons of cringe with Apple Bloom focused only on catching the spirit and Applejack stubbornly insisting on work only, so I was quite pleased by the compromise they made in the middle of the episode to actually help each other out. Even more impressive was how Applejack apparently regained her long-suppressed enthusiasm for the Great Seedling, leading to the moral of the episode that you're never too old to enjoy silly childish things. (Sound familiar, fellow fans?) But arguably the most incredible part of this episode was during the flashback sequence where along with blank-flank Applejack we saw her parents and even baby Apple Bloom (it was shown only very briefly, but considering how much fans wanted to see such a scene, it was totally worth it). Overall, this episode could've easily been much worse, but I'm actually very pleased by what we got.

Looks like the next few Equestria Girls shorts are going back to that "posted on the internet" style we saw earlier this year. This week's features Applejack and Rarity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aZMa0rTVVU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aZMa0rTVVU)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rarity and Applejack in this video give advice on which essentials you should bring while camping. While Applejack mentions the bare necessities, Rarity insists on many other items to the point of of being very cumbersome to carry it around. Applejack is frustrated by Rarity's antics, but when Rarity mentions they'll actually be "glamping" in an RV, Applejack decides to be okay with giving it a try.

I think we're all very familiar with this dynamic of the polar opposite packing habits of Applejack and Rarity. What makes this particular one different from other examples we've seen before is that Rarity is well aware that her habits just won't work for "roughin' it" like Applejack would prefer, so she instead decides to use an RV.

Starlight has been spending so much time as counselor at the School of Friendship that her friend Trixie arranges a picnic to make up for lost time. However, thanks to a magic bracelet that glows every time there's a knock on the door to her office, Starlight keeps frequently teleporting away to help a student, which frustrates Trixie. Despite appreciating Starlight's willingness to help all those students, Trixie has gotten upset that it's taken away so much time from her friends that Starlight has completely forgotten about a little get-together they had been planning with some of Starlight's other friends. Although Starlight assures Trixie she intends to follow her promise for them to work on the preparations together, her counselor job takes up so much time that she fails to keep up everywhere and completely misses out on spending the day with her friend.

At the end of the day, Trixie confronts Starlight in her office, where she's still seeing students before they have to leave for spring break. Under pressure from Trixie, Starlight decides to finally close her office and tells Silverstream (the student she was in the middle of speaking with) to just leave and figure out her issues on her own. Later, Starlight and Trixie meet up with Sunburst, Maud Pie, and Mudbriar for their get-together at Maud's place, but the party doesn't last long before Terramar, Silverstream's brother, suddenly arrives and informs Starlight that Silverstream never returned home and is now considered missing. Starlight and Terramar search the school, and the only clue they find are the notes Silverstream left in her room about a school project involving cockatrices, leading them to fear she went to look for one in the Everfree Forest.

Just as Starlight and Terramar are about to head out, Trixie and the rest of Starlight's friends arrive and offer to help find Silverstream. After running through the forest, the group stumbles across a whole flock of cockatrices, and are forced to run for their lives (with Mudbriar getting petrified by the cockatrices along the way). They eventually reach the old castle ruins, and when Starlight points out the new Treehouse of Harmony, she realizes they should've checked there sooner, and sure enough they find Silverstream inside, who has remarkably managed to tame a cockatrice (and also simply forgot to inform her family that she was staying longer to finish a school project). After the group leaves the forest (and Silverstream's cockatrice returns Mudbriar to normal), Starlight expresses immense guilt over turning away Silverstream and thus resulting in a terrifying incident, but Silverstream admits that many of her questions were so minor that they probably weren't worth all that time spent and therefore it was probably best she had been finally turned away. Starlight finally agrees to start setting available times rather than the always open policy to allow her to spend some time with her own friends.

This episode certainly had an interesting take on how one should find a reasonable balance between time at work and time with friends, and even ends with the answer still being a little uncertain. I think the most interesting aspect of this episode was the wide range of secondary characters featured throughout much of it; Starlight, Trixie, Sunburst, Maud Pie, Mudbriar, Terramar, and Silverstream. (At most, only the first four got together only once (the episode right before the Season 7 finale), so this was quite an interesting set of character dynamics that I enjoyed seeing.) Also of note, this was the first time we got to see the inside of not only Silverstream's room at the school, but also a more interior part of the Treehouse of Harmony (which appears to be some kind of study room). Overall, this was a rather nice episode to watch.

Favorite episode of the season tbh. Mudbriaer and Maud were both hilarious, Trixie and Starlight had some great moments together, and they packed a ton of plot into 22 minutes. I'm sad this may be the last Starlight episode we ever get, but it was a hell of a sendoff.

This week's Equestria Girls short is a more standard style, but the next few will go back to that internet video style. Anyway, here's this week's short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcFwHimKGYs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcFwHimKGYs)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The seven girls are at a music festival and taking selfies, but when the subject of filters (various graphics meant to add more substance to selfies) come up, each of them share their favorite kinds of filters to use.

As funny as many of those "filters" were (especially the joke about G3 pony being terrible), I just don't really understand why such a thing has so much appeal among those girls. (Then again, I've never taken any selfies and even don't like being photographed at all, so it's not like I would ever have much interest in such a thing anyway.)


And for this week's new episode, all I can say is that it's definitely a big one that deserves to be in the final season:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-12.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-12.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are at Scootaloo's house, where we finally see a glimpse of Scootaloo's living arrangements: her parents are usually away on their job, so her aunts Holiday and Lofty often visit to look after her most of the time, though at times when they return to their home they leave her in the care of certain others they know they can trust. But this time is different, because Scootaloo's parents are finally coming home, and she's very excited about it. She talks about them in class, where after a brief scare we finally meet her parents (I would best describe them as Australian wildlife field researchers, with her father wrangling the animals and her mother studying the plants). After getting caught up with each other, her parents reveal that they just got new jobs that will allow them to spend more time her, and while it sounds exciting for Scootaloo at first, she and her friends are suddenly devastated once they realize it involves moving to a very far away place, away from her friends.

The CMCs continue to be saddened until Rainbow Dash shows up and, upon hearing what's going on, encourages them to figure out a solution. The CMCs try all kinds of crazy ideas - faking a rare creature to make her parents stay in Ponyville, pointing out their similar cutie marks, a potion to keep them tied together at all times, and even chaining themselves to a post - but none of them are enough to change Scootaloo's parent's minds.

Scootaloo finally decides to visit her aunts in an effort to miss the train and thus force her parents to leave without her. When she and her friends arrive, her aunts point out how much they've helped others as a group, inspiring them with a new idea to keep Scootaloo in Ponyville. When moving day finally arrives, Scootaloo brings her parents into town to show them a "Cutie Mark Crusaders Appreciation Day" celebration, where everyone they've helped out throughout the entire series has gathered together to show just how much of a positive impact those three fillies have had on so many others. Her parents finally understand the true importance of the work she and her friends have done, much like how important their work had been to keep them away from her for so long. In the end, Scootaloo's family comes to a new arrangement where her parents move on to their new faraway job, while Holiday and Lofty move to Ponyville to become her full-time caretakers, but despite all of that they will always love each other very much.

Let's face it, the question of Scootaloo's family has always been a big question among fans for virtually as long as we've known her since the first season, and now it has finally been answered. Also of significance, although it was never stated in the episode, the show's creators have confirmed that Holiday and Lofty are indeed a same-sex couple (as far as I know, the only specifically confirmed same-sex couple on this show). And the relation was stated at one point in this episode that Holiday is the older sister of Scootaloo's father. I have to say, Scootaloo's parents being Australian-style wildlife researchers definitely does seem like quite a dangerous job, and as much as they obviously love to do it, they also wisely understood that they couldn't bring their daughter along with them, regardless of how much they really do love each other. However, spending so little time with their daughter made it hard for them to understand just how close she really was to her friends in Ponyville, despite how much they tried to express how much they love her. Finally, the Cutie Mark Crusaders Appreciation Day celebration really went all-out to reference practically every single CMC episode throughout the entire series, so in terms of CMC episodes, this one definitely felt like an appropriate series finale for them. Overall, this one's easily one of the best episodes of this season so far.


I'm actually impressed by how much I was able to avoid most of the major spoilers of this episode. Just one more left to go before those early releases are finally behind us (and hopefully for the last time, as I'd especially hate to see this happen for the series finale).

This week's Equestria Girls short goes back to the vlog-type videos, with this one featuring Sunset Shimmer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWgCq6qipPM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWgCq6qipPM)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunset has gotten a backstage pass at the concert, and uses a drone to make a video touring the backstage areas. She is very excited at every destination and with everyone she meets, so much so that when she finally meets the band, she actually asks then to take a picture of her with the backstage crew.

Not much for me to say for this one. It was a little amusing to see Sunset get so giddy over just about every seemingly mundane item and task she witnesses, but that's pretty much all this one had going for it.


And here's this week's new episode, the mid-season finale, and also featuring something many fans have always wanted to see for a very long time:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-13.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/us-my-little-pony-season-9-episode-13.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The main six are faced with a giant tortoise eating the apple orchard and do a good job of dealing with it, but just when Twilight is about to finish by teleporting the beast away, Celestia and Luna suddenly arrive and finish the job for her. For the rest of the week, Celestia and Luna continue to eagerly assist the main six in virtually every task, no matter how trivial they are. When Twilight finally gets a chance to question them, they admit that after they had helped contain the Everfree Forest back in the season premiere, they had so much fun that they now want to do much more heroics out in the field of action. The girls would rather not continue with the recent antics, so Pinkie suggests Celestia and Luna should should simply make a list of all the activities they had always wanted to do and then try them all out. The two sisters are uncertain about taking time off from their royal duties, so Twilight decides to cover for them as an excellent chance for her and her friends to practice taking on their royal duties once the sisters eventually retire as planned.

At Canterlot Castle, Twilight and friends are faced with preparing a gala dedicated to the swans that inhabit the ponds of Canterlot. Despite their best efforts, they struggle to handle all of the various tasks involved in the preparations. Fancy Pants checks in on them regularly, and eventually confirms that, contrary to what Twilight initially believed, Celestia and Luna don't actually handle all those royal tasks by themselves. Assured that she won't be breaking any royal protocol, Twilight and her friends agree to start delegating tasks, and the mounting disasters are quickly dealt with.

Meanwhile, Celestia and Luna celebrate the start of their time off through song, but as time passes, their differing preferred ideas of time off start to clash; Celestia wants to go on an exciting adventure, but Luna wants to have a relaxing vacation. They initially agree to take turns between both sets of activities, but eventually get on each other's nerves so much that they decide to part ways for the remainder of their time off. However, they eventually start to miss each other, and when they finally meet up again on a trail up a mountain, they apologize and agree to just enjoy being with each other. Unfortunately, they are soon forced to end their time off when they notice Twilight struggling to move the sun and moon through the sky.

Fans have been begging for an episode focused on Celestia and Luna since almost the very beginning of the show, and this episode finally answers that demand. Personally, I found this episode to be so loaded with crazy antics that I couldn't bring myself to see this as an awesome episode, though I will at least call it rather good. Although the main focus was on Celestia and Luna finally getting a chance to do all the things they've always wanted to do, I was more interested in how Twilight and her friends took this opportunity to practice what they'll be faced with once the two sisters retire, and here they learn the lesson that the rulers of Equestria don't actually do everything by themselves, and that it's completely okay to ask for assistance whenever it's necessary. Also of note, with Celestia and Luna dressing more casually for their time off, this is actually the very first time we've ever seen them without wearing their royal attire. Overall, a moderately good episode, as I believe it gives a hint of what to expect at the end of the season.


And with that, we are now finally past all those early releases. Next week is the hour-long Rainbow Roadtrip special, animated in the same style as the movie. Also recently announced is the next Equestria Girls special, Sunset's Backstage Pass, will be on July 27, so that's just over a month from now (though apparently Mexico will be airing it next week). (At this point, as much as I really wish for no more early releases, the fact that production on both FiM and EqG just recently finished gives me the sad feeling that early releases of the second half of the final season will be inevitable, and thus it's only a question of which country will do it this time.)

This week's Equestria Girls short is yet another vlog-type video, with appearances from all seven of the main girls:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtruHVhP1t4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtruHVhP1t4)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rarity decides to create a video displaying various type of fashion for the upcoming music festival, with each of her friends showing off their fashion choices. She has mixed reactions to all of them, but contently concludes that the only truly right fashion is to simply be yourself.

I won't bother going into any detail for the fashion choices each of the seven girls went with, but it's fair to say they all make sense for who they are (perfect for Rarity's closing message of "be yourself"). It was also amusing to see Rarity's various reactions to each of her friends and what they showed off.


No new episode this week, but we did have the one-hour special Rainbow Roadtrip:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/my-little-pony-rainbow-roadtrip-stream.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/06/my-little-pony-rainbow-roadtrip-stream.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The Main 6 gather together and travel by balloon (with Spike staying behind to watch over the school) to the town of Hope Hollow to attend the Rainbow Festival, to which Rainbow Dash was personally invited and encouraged to bring her friends along. However, once they arrive, just about all of their expectations turn out to be vastly underwhelming. Once they meet with the mayor, he admits that he exaggerated his invitation to encourage the Main 6 to come to town in desperate hopes that they can solve the problem of the lack of color anywhere. He explains through song about how the town used to be so lively and colorful, but the residents eventually grew more distant with each other, and a failed attempt to modify a magical device used for the festival only made the problem much worse. Once they hear the full story, the Main 6 agree to help out around town to do anything they can to save it.

Applejack helps the town mechanic to repair their damaged balloon and the rainbow billboard they had accidentally destroyed. Rainbow Dash encounters two young pegasi who are huge fans of her and offers to help improve their flying talents. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy help the owners of a bakery find a better food supply, improving relations with their nextdoor neighbor in the process. Rarity helps the town boutique owner to find her own style rather than just simply adding onto the ideas of others. And Twilight does research in the library in an effort to figure out what kind of magic could've removed all the color. As the Main 6 continue to help out, each small act of friendship begins to gradually restore color to small bits all over town.

The mayor still blames himself for unintentionally ruining the town, so Twilight (with some help from some of the town's residents), tries to repair the magical device in hopes that she can use a spell to reverse whatever caused it to malfunction. The repaired device fails to do anything, but when Applejack points out the small bits of color that were already showing up, all the ponies realize that what really happened is that the residents had been losing hope before that device made it worse, and the solution is to simply bring the whole community back together again. Ponies who used to rudely ignore each other are now encouraged to play their parts and get along, and it's not long before the whole town is completely restored to the vibrantly colorful place it once was. After a celebratory song, the Main 6 return home.

I have to say, this was quite a nice addition to the series. What made this particularly special was that the problem was not caused by some evil creature, but rather by a whole community simply falling apart. In this day and age, the lesson that local communities should learn to simply get along with each other is very powerful, considering how the general sense of community has been steadily declining over the last few decades. Also, like I said before, this special uses the same animation style as the movie did, so it was nice to see some brief glimpses of Ponyville at the beginning (which the movie didn't offer). There's more I could talk about, but this summary is already long enough, so I'll just say that this special is definitely worth watching.


I'm honestly amazed that this special was not leaked or released early in any way at all. Really though, it's quite sad that such a feat can be considered an incredible accomplishment these days. Case in point, not only has the next Equestria Girls special (set to premiere a month from now in the US) already aired in Mexico, but also episode 14 (for which the US airdate has not yet even been confirmed) has already aired in China. Like I said, it's really sad to think that the realistic expectation on the rest of the final season being aired early is not a question of if, but rather a question of when and where. Either way, I intend to not watch any of these early releases, as I just can't handle seeing them at a rate of more than once a week.

No new episodes this week, but the Equestria Girls shorts are still going, and here's this week's new one featuring Pinkie Pie:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV4lVSEXqTc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV4lVSEXqTc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This time, Pinkie uses the drone for her vlog video at the music festival to talk about five lines that she thinks are worth waiting in: security at the entrance, two hours for nachos, the photo both, a mystery line (which just loops around a tree), and the bathroom.

Only someone like Pinkie Pie could find excitement in something as boring as waiting in line for something. Not to mention her oddly excited reactions to the end of some of those lines. All in all, just another example of Pinkie being weird but funny.


And unfortunately for the main series, it was recently reported that episodes 15 and 16 have also been released early in China. I sadly figured it was only a matter of time, but now it's especially ridiculous that they might see the end of the season (and the series) before the rest of us have even started the second half.

As you may have assumed from my lack of comments over the last few weeks, no new Equestria Girls shorts since the latest one I mentioned. However, this week, we finally have the US premiere of the second of this year's Equestria Girls one-hour specials, Sunset's Backstage Pass:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/07/equestria-girls-sunsets-backstage-pass.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/07/equestria-girls-sunsets-backstage-pass.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The girls arrive via RV at the Star Swirl music festival, with Sunset and Pinkie being especially excited to see the reunion performance of Post Crush. After a night of rest, they start day one of the festival, but just about every little thing that can go wrong does go wrong, mostly due to Pinkie getting so easily distracted by other things and ultimately causing them to get banned from the festival grounds before they can even watch Post Crush, and Sunset (after sitting alone on a hilltop and mysteriously swept in some wave of energy) goes to bed frustrated at Pinkie and disappointed.

But when Sunset wakes up, it's day one of the festival again. After mentioning her feeling of deja vu, Twilight tags along with her and Pinkie, and upon seeing Sunset easily predict so much of the day's events, Twilight concludes that Sunset has somehow ended up in a time loop. Despite Sunset's efforts, the day ends the same with her and Pinkie getting kicked out before they could watch Post Crush. Sunset wakes up on day one for the third time, and this time decides to not even bother following Pinkie and focus only on being able to watch Post Crush. Sunset is successful, but upon returning to the RV discovers Pinkie has gone nuts from feeling completely rejected, and the rest of her friends are angry at Sunset for it.

Sunset repeats day one of the festival countless more times to the point where she's able to accurately predict every single minor event that happens. Eventually, she gets the idea to simply "run away from your problems" and decides that night to drive the RV away from the festival. Unfortunately, the RV gets badly damaged in the attempt, and Sunset awakens on day one again. This time, she finally realizes that she should send a message to Princess Twilight in Equestria, and receives a reply detailing a magical artifact called the time twirler that could cause such a time loop.

After Sunset shares this information with her friends, they're shocked to discover the Dazzlings are performing at the festival, and are quick to assume they must be behind the time loop. Pinkie's attempt to get past security fails, but it does provide Sunset with information she uses the next time around to bribe him with a kitten to be allowed through. Sunset searches the Dazzlings' van and ends up confronting them, but discovers they had nothing to do with the time loop. Sunset is disappointed at being unable to find the time twirler, but after some encouragement from Pinkie, she decides to spend the next time around doing what she had always intended from the start, and that was to spend the day having fun with Pinkie.

This time, thanks to Sunset's extensive experience from all the previous loops, practically every little thing that went wrong the first time around now ends up going right, such as winning a tandem bike, happily joining Pinkie on everything she enjoyed, and even calmly ordering churros (rather than Pinkie tackling the cart which got them kicked out). That last one even gives them an opportunity (via a disgruntled employee) to deliver churros to Post Crush themselves. However, when they let slip they were expecting a different guy to make the delivery, Sunset gets suspicious, and just when they try to leave, she tricks them with a respectful handshake to allow her to read their minds, allowing her to discover they are the ones who found the time twirler and have been using it in an effort to eventually achieve a perfectly flawless performance.

Post Crush refuses to stop their efforts, and while Sunset believes the effects of the time loop means she can keep trying to stop them, one of them demonstrates that she can always quickly sketch Sunset's and Pinkie's faces and show them to security at the start of the day to ensure they'll never get another chance, and they promptly order security to kick them out. Knowing they now really do have only one chance to stop the time loops, Sunset and Pinkie make an attempt to break back in, but the security guard simply lets them back in after the inspiring words Sunset gave him earlier. Sunset and Pinkie catch up to Post Crush backstage just moments before they're due to perform, and in the ensuing struggle, all four end up on stage and Sunset destroys the time twirler. Post Crush is devastated they'll never get the perfect performance, but Sunset points out that perfection never mattered and what was really important was simply performing together, as indicated by the still cheering crowd. With that encouragement, Post Crush proceeds with their performance and even allow Sunset and Pinkie to join their show. And of course, after going through the same day for three weeks, Sunset is thrilled to wake up on day two of the festival.

First of all, yes, this special obviously follows the same theme of the movie Groundhog Day, but the concept of time loops is something I often find quite fascinating, so I ended up enjoying this special quite a lot. It was also a nice surprise to see the Dazzlings return, albeit their voices sound a little off, though I suppose that could be excused considering what happened to them when we last saw them way back at the end of Rainbow Rocks. (Also of note, Adagio grumbling about "pathetic humans" at one point might be the very first time the word "human" was ever used in the entire Equestria Girls series.) Not much else I can think of saying here, but I definitely enjoyed this special. (Sadly, with production of Equestria Girls recently ended, it was just confirmed today that this really is the final major installment of the series, despite plans for a more definitive finale. All there is left to see now are the rest of the Season 2 shorts that are coming up.)


Next week will be the start of the second half of Season 9, so if we assume there won't be any weeks off, then that means the season and thus series finale will be on October 19. (But remember what I said about early releases being practically inevitable at this point? Well, believe it or not, this time is more absurd than ever, as China has been releasing these upcoming episodes for so long and so frequently, they'll end up seeing the finale episode just after we've barely even started on the second half of the season. They've already reached ones for which we haven't even seen an official synopsis for. It's absolutely ridiculous, so in a way, I guess I'm kinda glad that this is the final season of the show, as I'd rather not have to put up with this for another year.)

Still no new Equestria Girls shorts, though I'll be sure to mention them once they show up. Although I mentioned last week that Sunset's Backstage Pass was just confirmed to be the last EG one-hour special, there's still a few shorts left to go before the series is officially ended, though how that series will be concluded remains a mystery.

Anyway, the final mid-season hiatus is over, and now we're on to the last thirteen episodes of Season 9 and the entire series. Here's this week's episode, featuring the return of a special guest character:

Pinkie Pie receives an invitation from Cheese Sandwich to his factory for various prank and gag items that he had apparently established sometime after his previous appearance. Recognizing that all of her friends have already achieved their "life purpose", she decides to take this opportunity to ask Cheese Sandwich to help figure out her own life purpose. However, when she gets to the factory, despite mild enthusiasm from the emotionally challenged vice president Sans Smirk, the work ethic is slow and boring, and Cheese himself confesses that he has somehow lost the ability to laugh or even smile.

Cheese explains that on his travels he created all kinds of novelty items for his parties, and it turned out there was so much popular demand for them that he decided to start a business of selling these items. With the struggle of running a growing business and staying true to himself, he met Sans Smirk who was happy to assist him and came up with the idea of building a joke factory. Cheese loved the idea, but after a while, the work became so tedious that he eventually became physically incapable of laughing at anything. Pinkie agrees to help Cheese recover his laugh, but every attempt ends in failure, ultimately convincing Cheese to simply give up trying.

Understanding that Cheese's absence of humor means the joke factory can't develop new products and thus doomed to eventually lose business, Sans Smirk begins preparing to shut down the factory. However, after a minor comment from him about how Cheese used to love seeing everyone happy, Pinkie suddenly realizes the real cause of the problem, and convinces Cheese to try entertaining others in person like he used to. When a little mispronounced word causes one of the factory workers to laugh, Cheese Sandwich proceeds through song to get better and eventually manages to get even Sans Smirk to laugh. Now fully recovered and understanding his true life purpose, Cheese Sandwich goes back to being a traveling party planner, leaving Sans Smirk in charge of the factory and promising to write to him any new ideas he'll come up with. With that, Pinkie returns home recognizing she has already been living her life purpose all along: making ponies around her happy.

It was nice to see the return of a popular guest character like Cheese Sandwich. I also was interested in the old concept of how the struggle to maintain a growing business can sometimes cause the founder to lose sight of why they started that business in the first place and as a result lose enthusiasm for the product. Trying to keep your original vision grounded while seeking new opportunities is certainly a good lesson worth having. I would rank this as certainly one of the better episodes of this season.

For Equestria Girls, I should note that, technically, new shorts have been coming out for weeks, but they've been showing up on the Discovery Family app long before they show up on YouTube. At this time, the ones that have not yet appeared on YouTube include one music video and seven "choose your own ending" shorts, the latest of which came out just less than a week ago. I don't understand why there haven't been any additions to the official YouTube channel (especially considering the recently aired one-hour special would normally also be among those videos in six parts), and I hate to think we may have to rely on secondhand recordings to see what could very well be the very last Equestria Girls content.

Anyway, onto this week's episode (which was actually leaked last week, and yes it was indeed a leak and not simply an early release like China did last month), and although this one was probably the most spoiled of all the early releases, I did manage to avoid some of the major details ahead of watching it for the first time today.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-15-246.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-15-246.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Buckball has now become so popular that even Twilight's school of friendship and Celestia's school for gifted unicorns have their own teams that are now scheduled to compete. Twilight has arranged for the professional Ponyville team (Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Snails) to coach the team ahead of the game, and she calls in Rainbow Dash to coach... the cheerleading team (consisting of Yona, Ocellus, Smolder, and two mares whose names I can't remember). It turns out Snips came up with the idea of a cheerleading team, mostly to satisfy his selfish desire to profit off sports merchandise, and despite Rainbow clearly expressing no interest at all, Twilight insists she's the best pony to coach them.

Almost immediately, Rainbow makes it clear to everyone she knows nothing about cheerleading and has so little interest in it that she practically tells the team to figure things out for themselves, to which they are just as quick to voice their objections. Rainbow does end up following one bit of advice to ask her friends to help out, but all that really does is give them uniforms and props with no directions on what to do. Even after a practice run on the field clearly exposes her absolute lack of effort, she still refuses to show any interest in improving them, and the entire team ends up quitting (Yona and Ocellus in tears, the two mares in disgust, and Smolder in anger that Rainbow failed to live up to her hype of being able to make anything more awesome).

Smolder's words of frustration upon quitting finally makes Rainbow realize how awful she's been, and she finally understands that despite her lack of interest, it was still something that greatly interested the team members and they deserved a fair chance to actually improve themselves. After bringing the team back together and apologizing to them, Rainbow finally starts putting in real effort to improve their performance. When game day arrives, the cheerleading performance becomes so popular that it actually overshadows how the home team barely lost to the team from Celestia's school (with Twilight suspiciously denying she set up Rainbow Dash specifically to learn a valuable friendship lesson the hard way).

I think it's quite clear how this episode portrayed Rainbow Dash in a very negative light, expressing so much disinterest that she outright ignores the team and doesn't even care about their feelings until after they've been hurt. Snips has again displayed a shameless desire to profit off the success of buckball as we saw earlier this season, so that sure didn't do him any favors here. At least Twilight demonstrated that she can be just as much of a troll as Celestia. As much as I enjoy seeing episodes with at least some of the young six students, I have to admit this was a rather poor episode.

Despite another early leak a few days ago, here's this week's new episode:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-16.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-16.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's time for Ponyville's weekly trivia game, and Twilight has gotten especially obsessed this time because she's now in position to become the first pony to win it three times in a row. Naturally, Twilight has gone all out studying the rule book to the letter and precisely calculating statistics to devise the perfect strategy to ensure she wins (and poor Spike has to put up with it all). But despite preparing for every single remote possibility, she never expected Pinkie Pie to suddenly join the game for the first time ever, and even worse, of all the partners selected in the random draw, she ends up with Pinkie.

At first, Twilight's fears are confirmed when she's about to correctly answer a question, only for Pinkie to get it spectacularly wrong and end up losing a point for them. As the game progresses, Twilight's sanity eventually slips enough that she starts utilizing the rule book to hold back the other teams, and ultimately tricks Pinkie into breaking a rule to get her disqualified, thus allowing Sunburst (whose partner she had earlier got disqualified) to join her in a seemingly ideal chance to win.

But Twilight has already gone so nuts that a minor dispute nearly drives Sunburst to have her disqualified, and although he is quick to apologize for his actions, it makes Twilight finally realize just how awful she had treated Pinkie. Twilight apologizes to Pinkie, and although Pinkie so hurt that she doesn't accept it at first, she eventually forgives Twilight. Finally, with Twilight making use of the rule book yet again, Sunburst is allowed to continue with his old partner, and Twilight and Pinkie are allowed back in with their score reset to zero. The game continues, and although Twilight admits she now has a very remote possibility of winning, she's okay with it as long as she and Pinkie have a good time together.

I'm going to have to call this a rather mediocre episode. Seeing Twilight freaking out almost to the point of "Lesson Zero insanity" is something I would've expected to see in an earlier season. At this point, I'm tempted to assume the writers are simply trying to fill in the final season with ideas they had always wanted to do but never got a chance. Alternatively, you could argue that the characters at this point in the series are so highly developed that any potentially good episodes now end up being seen as more fitting of earlier seasons than the final season. Either way, I'm starting to feel like I'm seeing justification to have this be the final season of the show.

Equestria Girls shorts continue to be released exclusively on the Discovery Family app and not on YouTube. This proved to be quite problematic with the most recent release, which was apparently inaccessible to anyone for a few days. I would really like to know why there haven't been any YouTube releases for nearly two months, because it just doesn't make any sense to me.

No leaks this time thankfully (though it's still among the many episode released early in China a while ago), but either way, here's this week's new episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-17.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-17.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Grogar is busy trying to find an alternative way to take over Equestria, seemingly still unaware that Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow have his magic bell, but they're unable to figure out how to make it work, and reluctantly agree their best chance at finding answers will be in Canterlot library's restricted section, but they soon discover that the tighter security (as seen earlier this season) will make getting inside much more difficult than expected. Meanwhile, Twilight is remarkably relaxed and efficient with planning the upcoming Summer Sun Celebration (having learned her lessons from certain episodes earlier this season), surprising her friends, the princesses, and even Discord. Especially remarkable because with Celestia and Luna due to retire soon, this will be the final Summer Sun Celebration. However, as Twilight's friends go over their assigned tasks, they are overheard by the evil 3, who decide to use that information to their advantage.

Twilight's friends complete their inspections after finding nothing seriously wrong, but right after they leave, Tirek stealthily steals magic to trick ponies into thinking the food is making them sick, Cozy Glow offers to help the weather manager and intentionally makes things much worse, and Chrysalis disguises herself as a unicorn and convinces the fireworks performers that they deserve to do better things than be simple performers. Twilight's friends are shocked when they discover everything suddenly going very wrong, and (fearing a typical Twilight freak-out) try to solve all the problems themselves without telling Twilight anything is wrong (despite Applejack's protests), but are unable to to achieve any success.

Inevitably, Twilight finds out about everything going wrong, but again surprises everyone by being remarkably calm and assigns new tasks to help everyone resolve all the problems. Meanwhile, the evil 3 were able to take advantage of the chaos to slip though all the security features and enter the library's restricted section, eventually finding a chained-up book with Grogar's bell on the cover. Twilight and friends are able to fix everything just in time for the celebration's iconic moment of raising the sun (achieved with a proper use of the amulet by Twilight), after which Twilight not only officially announces that it would be the last Summer Sun Celebration, but also declares that it shall be renamed the "Festival of the Two Sisters" to honor both Celestia and Luna. Back at the evil lair, even with Grogar claiming to be successful in finding what he needs for them to take over Equestria, the evil 3 still plan to figure out how to use the magic bell themselves, while also noting how the three types of ponies were able to turn against each other so easily in all the chaos they caused.

After the huge disappointments of the last two episodes, this one was a much-needed turn in the right direction. Twilight has finally learned from her past mistakes and used those lessons to take a much more reasonable approach to one day rule Equestria. Kind of amusing that everyone had gotten so used to a panicky Twilight that they never considered that perhaps she really had actually improved herself. At the same time, we got to see more of the evil 3 and their secret plan to betray Grogar, which is sure to make the finale worth waiting for. Also of note, during the moment of the raising of the sun, we heard the Canterlot royal fanfare that I don't think has been heard at all since Season 1 (now there's something to bring the nostalgia). Overall, definitely among the better episodes of this season.


The names of the final episodes of the series were just recently officially announced. The two-part episode will actually be episodes 24 and 25, while episode 26 will be sort of an epilogue episode. Also, looking at the titles and synopsis of all the other upcoming episodes, I get the impression that all of them will provide some sort of closure on certain aspects of the show, meaning that last week's episode could be considered the final slice-of-life episode that had seemingly no significant impact on the course of the series.

As the last season of My Little Pony was announced, my interest for the series in general has been dwindling since then. It's not that I'm starting to hate it or anything...not in the slightest. It seems that I'm finally moving on from the show, something which I thought was inevitable, but I only questioned when that day or moment will come. And even before that, I would only just watch the new episodes that come out on Saturday, and that's about it. Now, it seems like I have to force myself to watch MLP if I wanted to see a new episode. Of course, there are some season 9 plots that interest me, I may still watch some of my favorite past episodes, and of course I wouldn't miss watching the finale, but overall I'm done with MLP. But if there's one thing that will keep a connection with the show and me, it's the songs. I like them a lot. Many of them range from upright silly to beautiful and well meaningful. The second thing would be the characters. They're pretty iconic in my opinion with their unique personalities, and something I would probably reference and relate to often. So yeah, I guess this is a farewell to the main series. I did hear that a Gen 5 is in the works, but it's highly unlikely that I'll watch it. But we'll see once the time comes.

Funnily enough, while the recent MLP movie is something I have almost no interest in seeing, I would gladly go watch the next Equestria Girls movie as soon as it comes out. I'm actually still curious how the plot would progress there, if there will be more human world and Equestria interactions, how magic is still affecting their everyday lives, etc.

Edit: I did see the movie's (original) intro on YouTube, and I'll say it's much better than the low effort cheap parody of "We Got The Beat". I have no idea why they'd replace the original with something like that.

For the Equestria Girls shorts, looks like there's quite an odd release schedule going on lately. Not only are new ones still being released exclusively on the Discovery Family app every Sunday, but now their YouTube channel has just released one that is completely brand new. Does this mean these remaining shorts are being released on separate schedules for the sake of getting them all out there as quickly as possible? I sure hope not, because I still would like to see those other shorts released on YouTube (especially since the "choose your own ending" format on some of them are ideally for YouTube). Anyway, here's the short that was recently released on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ48GI6CuHo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ48GI6CuHo)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Not really much to say about this one. It's basically a bunch of clips of the girls and others doing various things worthy of internet popularity. (Of note is that one of these clips actually gives us our first look at Fluttershy's bedroom, so now we've finally seen the bedrooms of all the main seven girls at least once throughout the whole series.) Some of these clips also happen to apparently be outtakes from some of the music video shorts from a little while ago. Certainly got a few good laughs out of this one, but what I'm really hoping for is that this could be a sign we might soon get to see those other shorts finally be made available on YouTube.


As for the pony series, I knew it was inevitable that some country would release the final episodes before the US, and earlier this week, it was the Netherlands that ended up with that controversial distinction. In this case, it was actually a leak, as they had intended to release only the first half of Season 9 instead of the whole season, so the episodes from the second half were eventually pulled, but unfortunately the damage has been done and spoilers will be out there (thankfully, I have yet to stumble across any of them, but we'll see if that can last the full two months ahead of the scheduled day of the finale airing). Interestingly, it seems this issue got so much negative attention that not only has Australia pulled their planned early release of these final episodes scheduled for next week, but also China (which has so far already done early releases of up to Episode 21) has also pulled their plans to release the remaining episodes in late September. I guess this show is now so big that just a single foreign leak has seemingly forced all the other countries to hold back until after the US premieres (totally didn't expect that to happen).

Anyway, with all of that big news out of the way, here's this week's new episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/season-9-episode-18-she-talks-to-angel.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/08/season-9-episode-18-she-talks-to-angel.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Fluttershy is having a typical day of getting chores done at her animal sanctuary, but Angel bunny is so desperate for attention that he keeps disrupting her efforts, and when she finally agrees to listen to his demands, it's to selfishly want something she can't give him for legitimate reasons. When Zecora arrives to drop off a small creature she found, she discovers the tension between the two and offers them a solution. Fluttershy insists that doing her chores and teaching at the school are too important to ignore for Angel's attention, and Angel insists that Fluttershy has no idea how difficult it is to live as a bunny, so recognizing their impasse, they agree to try Zecora's solution, which is a potion they must both drink at the same time, though she doesn't explain what exactly it does. When they both drink the potion, they end up swapping bodies.

Upon realizing they've swapped bodies, Angel (who can now talk through Fluttershy's body) wants to just mess around and do whatever he wants, but Fluttershy (now incapable of talking) uses her stare (which remarkably still works even while in Angel's body) to force Angel into getting her chores done at the sanctuary while she goes to Zecora to find out more about the potion. Angel returns to the sanctuary and takes a much more arrogant and lazy approach to all the same chores Fluttershy had done previously, much to the confusion of Dr. Fauna (who believes it's still Fluttershy in that body). Meanwhile, Fluttershy struggles to reach Zecora's hut in her smaller bunny body, and once she finally gets there, all she gets from Zecora is that the potion's effect is reversible only with both of them saying sorry to each other.

Angel's selfishness inevitably leads to chaos in the sanctuary, even forcing him to pay a personal price when he's locked out of the supply room holding what he wants and the keys were lost. Fluttershy returns to the sanctuary, but has become so exhausted from all that running that she passes out. Dr. Fauna knows what will help, but it's in the supply room, so Angel is forced to apologize to all the animals and work with them to recover the keys. Once Fluttershy recovers, she and Angel admit to each other how difficult their lives are and both apologize, which reverses the potion's effects and returns them to their original bodies. Later, while Fluttershy helps Angel be more respectful to the other animals in the sanctuary, Dr. Fauna (who by now finally understands what really happened) tells Zecora to never try using that potion on someone ever again.

In a magical world like Equestria, I'm sure many fans wondered if we would ever see one of those episodes where two characters would swap bodies, and it looks like this one finally delivered on that. It was also quite amusing to hear Angel being able to actually speak, albeit with Fluttershy's voice. I knew his selfish behavior would lead to serious trouble, and good thing Fluttershy's stare forced him to return to the sanctuary, as I can only imagine how much worse he could've made things if he tried interacting with other ponies. What did surprise me was Fluttershy also learned something from the experience, as I figured an animal expert like herself would've already been understanding of how hard life must be like as various kinds of animals. Despite the cringe from Angel fooling around in Fluttershy's body, I'd have call this episode as somewhat good. Not great, but not bad.

Rather than spend an entire Saturday evening going over everything, I'll take the time now to go over today's new releases.

First up, the YouTube channel has finally released an Equestria Girls music video that was first seen back in early June (nearly three months ago!) featuring the Dazzlings:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYa0Um8EG-c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYa0Um8EG-c)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This is the full version of the song the Dazzlings perform at the Starswirl music festival during the "Sunset's Backstage Pass" special. As explained by the Dazzlings themselves in that special, this song is about how they've been forced to live in human society after losing their magic powers, and as a result find their current experiences to be dull and boring compared to their past lives in Equestria, which they believe they'll never see ever again.

Let's face it, one of the biggest questions fans have been asking about Equestria Girls for a long time is what happened to the Dazzlings after the end of the second movie, Rainbow Rocks. This short is literally the very first time we've ever seen them since that movie. This short (plus what we later saw in Sunset's Backstage Pass) finally puts an end to immense fan speculation by showing that those three have managed to simply continue with their lives after the loss of their magic powers. Certainly not living in comfort by any means, but they are managing to get by on their own.


Also, it turns out there will actually be a third Equestria Girls hour-long special this year, which will apparently be a holiday special. No idea when it'll premiere in the US, but apparently the only reason we know it even exists is that it's scheduled to air later this month in Poland and apparently just aired in Ukraine (so be aware that spoilers will be out there already). My guess is we'll see it perhaps only a week or two after the Season 9 finale in October.

It's kind of amazing how this nearly decade-old topic is still chugging right along. It's going to be shame to see it be used well frequently, unless you also use to keep tabs on whatever comes next.

^Truth be told, this topic these days seems to consist almost entirely of just myself giving updates of the latest official releases. Hardly anybody else has posted their thoughts and reactions like I also do, but it's nice when someone occasionally mentions that they are in fact still paying attention to this topic.

Anyway, it looks like the official YouTube channel has decided to get though their three month backlog by uploading the previously released shorts at a rate of one every two days, so here's the the latest one released today, which happens to be the first of this season's "choose your own ending" shorts, featuring Sunset Shimmer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNMaL0kpS6o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNMaL0kpS6o)

Spoiler: ShowHide
It's the start of a new day at the Starswirl music festival. Everyone is annoyed by Pinkie's bongo drum playing keeping them up all night, which has now left Sunset to sleep in late. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash don't want Sunset to miss out on all the fun activities the festival will have to offer, so they each come up with ideas on how to wake her up.

Choose Applejack: Applejack pulls Sunset out of bed and immediately puts her to work helping her build a firepit where they will cook breakfast. Sunset complains about the hard work, but Applejack insists it'll be worth it. Later, everyone is enjoying a pancake breakfast, with Sunset feeling just as ready as everyone else for the day ahead.

Choose Rainbow Dash: Rainbow Dash pulls Sunset out of bed and to get her active, they do yoga on a hilltop. Sunset is at first glad she isn't forced to do some extreme athletics as she had expected from Rainbow, but soon struggles to get into all the crazy poses and loses interest. Despite this, both Rainbow and Sunset are happy as they watch the sun rise.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Pinkie Pie pulls Sunset out of bed and feeds her a heaping tray full of various sweets (as well as grab another for herself). A few minutes later, they are both super hyper on the resulting sugar rush. A few more minutes later, they are both asleep from the resulting crash.

For this one, I think Applejack was the best choice, because it got Sunset to be just as ready for the day as everyone else, which was the point of pulling her out of bed in the first place. Rainbow Dash was also a good choice, but it comes in a close second only because failing at yoga didn't exactly serve her as well as building that firepit for Applejack. Pinkie Pie was definitely my least preferred choice because she went way overboard with her preferred diet, which clearly didn't agree well with Sunset and ended up putting her right back to sleep (I like to believe that Pinkie has an absurdly high metabolism to explain how she can have such a huge appetite and yet maintain such a slim figure). Also of note, the Starswirl music festival was said to be only two days long, but we saw both mornings in Sunset's Backstage Pass (first at the start of every loop, and the second at the very end of the special), so the only reason I can think of for why a third different morning has occurred is that the festival probably lasts more than just two days.


In other news, now we have to be even more careful of spoilers, because it seems someone actually hacked Hasbro (second time it's happened, first was in late 2017, when among the leaked content was the movie, early Season 8 episodes that were incomplete, and early plans of a G5 series) and released all the remaining episodes of Season 9 (English versions, of course). It's really unbelievable just how much worse these things just keep happening. :bang  Really, the only comfort one can take from this madness is that with the show coming to an end soon, we won't have to worry about this ever again as there simply won't even be any more future content left to leak (expect for the rumored upcoming G5 show and 2021 movie, of course).

You know, on second thought I think I'll still watch the rest of Season 9 in it's entirety. I made it this far in MLP, and I've watched every single episode from Seasons 1-8, so I might as well finish it. I will, of course watch the episodes at my own pace when I have any free time or if I feel like it. I'll also leave my thoughts about any particular episode too if I have any time. :)

Wow, I haven't seen anyone make an interactive video like that in a long time, where you get to choose your own path, and it actually came from an Equestria Girls short video.

And yeah, nobody really posts in this thread anymore besides you Chronicler. I noticed how endless the discussion was a few years back.

I just watched all the leaked episodes in Dutch with English subs, and I won’t spoil anything but the finale is pretty awesome. Checked every box I was hoping it would, and I had a long wishlist. Starlight’s final episode (“A Horseshoe-In”) isn’t my favorite Starlight episode (doesn’t really tread new ground and the lesson is simplistic so it has to drag the plot to fill 22 minutes) but it’s good enough. Weird to think we’ll never have another.

Yeah, I watch leaked stuff whenever it comes out. Never seen the point in waiting for official releases, and I’m learning animation so i’m particularly fascinated by any leaks where the episodes aren’t finalized. Some of my favorite sound effects were fillers used in leaked unfinished content from various shows, for example the beta “Crysalis turns the strands of hair into each member of the Mean 6”  sound effect.

I have a lot of things to say but i’m gonna have to wait until all the episodes come out officially, unless everyone in this thread decides they don’t care about spoilers. PM me if you want to know where to watch the episodes early, or go to the “My Little Pony Redacted” subreddit on reddit.

I may end up not watching the leaked episodes before the official releases, not because I think it's unethical, but rather the lack of time. Homework, studying, and school takes up the majority of my day, and I spend most of my free time on the Gang of Five and on YouTube anyway. I, of course will take the initiative to complete all of my assignments as soon as they come to maximize the amount of free time I can have. I will take advantage of any opportunities I can get to watch the remainder of Season 9, plus the finale and epilogue.

If I'm posting content from recent official releases in spoiler tags, then any leaked content should definitely be hidden by spoiler tags. And for the record, I will not be watching any of the leaked episodes, and that's mostly because with all the other things I've got going on lately, I can barely keep up with just one episode per week, so I might as well just stick to the official schedule. Therefore, if I want my initial thoughts on all the remaining episodes to not be affected by spoilers, I would strongly recommend waiting until after the official releases to discuss any of the remaining episodes.

Alright, with that out of the way, first up is the latest Equestria Girls short to come out on YouTube, and it's the next of the "choose your own ending" group of shorts, featuring a certain DJ:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxJBbV_y7rg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxJBbV_y7rg)

Spoiler: ShowHide
DJ Pon-3 is performing at the Starswirl music festival, and partway through her performance, the "interactive" part of the show comes into play when she calls for someone in the audience to come up on stage to join her.

Choose Sunset Shimmer: Sunset comes up on stage and is pleasantly surprised to be challenged to play an 8-bit video game alongside the remixed 8-bit music being played by the DJ. She loses the first attempt, but then completes the level on the second try.

Choose Fluttershy: Fluttershy is initially nervous about performing on stage, but with a little encouragement from her animal friends, she dances along to the music remixed with animal sounds and even goes as far as howling like a wolf.

Choose Big Mac: Big Mac comes on stage and is handed a banjo, which he plays alongside the remixed country music while occasionally adding in his famous "Eeyup" quote.

For this short, I suppose one's favorites would depend mostly on one's musical preferences, since that's what this short is mostly about. For me, I would definitely say Sunset Shimmer was the best, because I liked the references to classic Mario games, with Sunset's game character being herself with a superpowered form of Daydream Shimmer (which we saw at the end of Friendship Games). I also liked Fluttershy because, let's face it, how could anyone not enjoy seeing her embrace a wild side every once in a while. Big Mac was my least favorite as I'm just not into country music, though I can appreciate it as much as the others.


And now for this week's officially released new episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-19-dragon-dropped.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-19-dragon-dropped.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rarity is surprised and upset that Spike has been seemingly ignoring her and coming up with excuses (mostly visiting the post office) to not spend time with her like they always do. Frustrated at being unable to get any answers out of Spike, she goes to Twilight for advice, and ultimately becomes convinced that she might've unknowingly and unintentionally done something terrible to Spike, so she arranges to dramatically apologize to him at the one place she knows where he'll be, the post office. While there, she meets Gabby the griffin (who we first met back in Season 6). When Spike arrives, it turns out that not only has Rarity done nothing wrong to him after all, but more significantly, he and Gabby have been spending a lot of time together.

Due to Gabby making frequent postal deliveries between Griffonstone and Ponyville (especially ever since Gallus started attending the School of Friendship), she and Spike got to know each other, became pen pals, and came to realize they have so much in common. With Spike spending more time with Gabby, Rarity tries filling the void left by him by asking her friends to help her out in the ways Spike usually would, but none of them work out well. When one of them suggests she should at least show how much she appreciates him, she decides to go all-out by offering to do activities with Spike that she knows he likes very much (exploring a gem cave, attending a comic convention, playing Ogres & Oubliettes). However, this takes so much of Spike's time away from Gabby that a misunderstanding convinces Gabby that he doesn't want to be with her anymore, leaving both of them very upset.

Rarity is initially pleased to see Spike spending time with her like they used to, but eventually is unable to ignore just how miserable he has been the whole time. Again, she goes to Twilight for advice, who points out that she has been selfishly taking up all of Spike's time and essentially keeping him away from Gabby. Realizing her mistake, Rarity apologizes to both Gabby and Spike and agrees to allow them to spend time together. In the end, even though Spike is now spending a lot of time with Gabby, he still manages to set aside some time to also hang out with Rarity as well, even if it's not quite as much as they used to.

First off, I will say that of all the early released or leaked episodes, this was the only one where I had encountered any significant spoiler, specifically that Spike and Gabby had become very close (but since that was revealed in the first act and I didn't know anything else beyond that, I was still able to enjoy this episode like all the others). Anyway, we all know that Spike has loved being with Rarity since literally the very first episode, and it seems Rarity has gotten so used to that much affection over many years that now that he's met someone who could better relate with him, she couldn't help but feel jealous. It also seems that Rarity continues to be oblivious to Spike's true feelings, where once she expected him to always be around to do things for her, now she failed to recognize how much her actions hurt him and needed to have it directly pointed out to her by Twilight. Although Rarity and Spike ended up remaining on friendly terms, it now seems Spike has become more interested in Gabby (though certainly not to the obsessionist level he once had for Rarity), and if I didn't know this was going to be the last season, I would've loved to see more of that new relationship. Despite Rarity going overboard with her theatrics, I would call this a good episode.

Rarity meets up with Twilight and Applejack to show off one of her latest works of fashion, but when a rainstorm suddenly rolls in, she is devastated as she knows how her new jacket will be totally ruined from getting wet, so Applejack and Twilight offer ideas.

Choose Twilight Sparkle: After taking shelter under a tree, Twilight lists off a few ideas, but admits all she brought along to help are trash bags for cleanup. Rarity is initially frustrated, but then suddenly gets an idea to turn those trash bags into rain ponchos, even adding on a stylistic flair, and it works to protect their regular clothes from the rain.

Choose Applejack: Applejack tries to point out the "silver lining" of rain by demonstrating some uses of mud, such as finding fish bait or rubbing it on her skin. The latter eventually gives Rarity the idea to apply a mud mask. While Rarity naps, Twilight points out that it doesn't solve the fashion emergency at all, but Applejack insists on letting it go as Rarity is happy anyway.

Choose Vignette Valencia: Rarity calls Vignette (last seen in the Rollercoaster of Friendship special) to explain her problem and ask for advice. Vignette remarks that Rarity's rain-soaked hair is a trend-setter before hanging up. Rarity reluctantly takes a selfie, which then encourages other people to post soaked-hair selfies. Rarity is pleased by how well things turned out for her, at least until the rain lets up and a gust of wind further ruins her hair.

For this one, I think Twilight is definitely by far the best choice, because she was the only one to actually offer a practical solution for Rarity's fashion emergency, and even better that it worked out quite well. Applejack didn't really offer a good solution, but at least she managed to make Rarity happy (at least for the moment). Vignette also wasn't that good either, and I'd call it my least favorite mostly because it seemed like she just didn't really care at all about Rarity's issues.

^According to the studios announcements on Twitter a few months back, production on Equestria Girls finished at around the same time as FiM did, suggesting that "Sunset's Backstage Pass" is the final hour-long special (though there's apparently a holiday special that has already aired in certain countries and will probably show in the US at some yet to be announced time later this year), even though there were already plans for a proper Season 2 finale special and even a Season 3 of shorts for next year. Believe me, there's plenty of fans who were upset to learn that Equestria Girls would apparently not get a proper finale like FiM is due to have (or already had, for those who watch the leaks).

Anyway, time for the next Equestria Girls short released on YouTube, and this "choose your own ending" short features a lost puppy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZhUN88RR88 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZhUN88RR88)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Spike are checking out the various food stands (weirded out by items like a "lasagna pop") when they encounter a lost fluffy puppy who's covered in mud.

Choose Rarity: The puppy starts chasing after Rarity, who desperately runs away to avoid getting covered in the mud it's been rolling around in. After a chase across the festival grounds (passing by several locations seen in the "Sunset's Backstage Pass" special), Rarity eventually stumbles into the tent used by Post-Crush (the band featured in the aforementioned special), where band member Su-Z is thrilled to find her lost puppy. She thanks Rarity by giving her one of her accessories, which a star-struck Rarity is pleased to receive.

Choose Fluttershy: Fluttershy uses her magical geode powers to simply ask the lost puppy where it came from. Upon getting the answer, she brings the puppy over to Su-Z, who is trilled to find said puppy. With the issue resolved so quickly, Spike decides they should just get back to checking out the food stands again.

Choose Spike: The puppy walks over to Spike, who awkwardly can't figure out how to respond, leading the girls to assume he's got a crush on that puppy. Spike and that puppy spend some time doing various puppy activities together, but are just about to start eating when Su-Z arrives and thanks Spike and girls for finding her puppy. Su-Z and her puppy leave, but not before the puppy thanks Spike with a lick.

This one thankfully has all three ending with the same result of Su-Z finding her lost puppy, so it's really a matter of how it was achieved. I would consider Rarity the best option, because it was the only one to keep in mind how filthy that puppy had gotten, was also the only one to take the time to point out that Su-Z is part of Post-Crush, and was also the only one where she identified her puppy by name (I can't remember what it was). Fluttershy was also a good one as she simply took the most practical solution they had. Spike was also a fine choice, but I'd consider it my least favorite as he spent most of that time having fun with that puppy rather than actually trying to find that puppy's owner.

Dang, it sucks to know that Equestria Girls will end with a whimper rather than a bang. Oh well. :/
I still really hope that there's still a lot of plot progression in those shorts that are being released on YouTube. I still need to watch them to find out, but I like I said I'm short on time, and the Season 9 episodes are kinda my priority at this point. I still didn't start on any new Season 9 episodes, so it'll be quite awhile before I make any progress.

First off, it was recently officially announced that the series finale will be on Saturday, October 12, which will be the last three episodes together (the two-parter and the epilogue), and will begin at 8pm (primetime, rather than the usual 11:30am). And the day before that (October 11), there will be a behind-the-scenes special at 5pm, so that should be very interesting to watch. Of course, all of this implies that the previous week (episode 23, on October 5) will be the last time this show premieres a new episode at its usual time.

Next up, the latest Equestria Girls short to be released on YouTube, another "choose your own ending" type of short, featuring Applejack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8eDC2_TcZA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8eDC2_TcZA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Applejack is thrilled to be watching her favorite country singer, Dirk Thistleweed, performing live, but with everyone dancing to the music, her foot gets stomped on and broken, forcing her to leave the crowd. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie help her limp to a safe distance, but they refuse to let her miss out on the show and both of them offer to do something for her (while Snips happens to be walking by on his own).

Choose Rainbow Dash: Rainbow mixes up a special lotion that she's used before to treat injuries. Applejack is unsure due to its odor, but it attracts Dirk, who's suffering from a sore throat. A starstruck Applejack agrees to let him use some of the lotion to regain his voice.

Choose Pinkie Pie: Pinkie is determined to make sure Applejack doesn't miss Dirk's performance by any means necessary. Pinkie tosses Applejack into a wheelbarrow and pushes her up to the top of a hill near the stage. Due to the hill's location off to the side of the stage, Pinkie then shoves Dirk to the very front of the stage so Applejack can see him, then is immediately tackled off the stage by security.

Choose Snips: Snips is confused why Applejack wants to hang out with him, to which she says he had seemed lonely without Snails around. Snips laments being abandoned by his friend (and seemingly doesn't notice Applejack's offer to be his friend), but Snails eventually arrives, along with Dirk who happens to be enjoying hanging out with Snails (mostly for his use of armpit noises). Upon finding out that Snips and Applejack happen to be friends with Snails, Dirk offers the three of them backstage seats to watch his performance (where Applejack again feels completely ignored by Snips and Snails).

For this one, I think Rainbow Dash was the best choice, because she offered something to help Applejack's broken foot, which also happened to be helpful for Dirk as well and left Applejack excited to actually meet him. Pinkie was fine, but being tackled off the stage by security was one of those rare moments where her antics came with real consequences. Snips was definitely one of those out-there options that I'm usually not fond of, not only because it meant Applejack passed on her closest friends, but also it left her seeing a rather unflattering side of Dirk.


Finally, here's this week's officially released new episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-20-horse-shoe-in.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-20-horse-shoe-in.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
With the upcoming ascension of Twilight to ruler of Equestria upon the retirement of Celestia and Luna coming closer, Twilight officially declares Starlight the new head-mare of the School of Friendship. Starlight is understandably worried about how she'll handle the new responsibilities, especially with her friend Trixie complaining about the two of them not having much time to hang out. During that conversation, Trixie unintentionally gives Starlight the idea to hire a vice head-mare to help ease the burden of running the school. With Twilight approving of the idea, Starlight sets up a three-stage process to help her determine the best pony for the job, and the candidates who apply are Spoiled Rich, Doctor Hooves, Octavia, Big Mac, and Trixie (who confidently assumes that being Starlight's best friend means she's guaranteed to be given the job, and assumes the selection process is just a worthless formality).

Stage one of the selection process involves teaching a class. Big Mac, Octavia, and Doctor Hooves handle their tasks quite well, while Spoiled Rich's arrogance annoys the students and Trixie's laziness leaves the whole class asleep. Although removing Spoiled Rich is an easy choice, Starlight reluctantly decides to give Trixie another chance. Stage two involves a parent-teacher conference. Octavia does well with Ocellus's parents and Doctor Hooves does just as well with Yona's parents, but Big Mac's habit of not saying much leaves Silverstream's father confused, while Trixie's arrogance just infuriates Gallus's legal guardian. Big Mac agrees with Starlight's decision to let him go, but again Starlight reluctantly decides to give Trixie another chance. Stage three involves taking a class out on a fieldtrip. Octavia takes her students to a concert hall and impresses them by having DJ Pon-3 perform alongside her, Doctor Hooves takes his students to his laboratory and fails to impress them with his time-based inventions, while Trixie tries to stand out by "bringing the fieldtrip into the classroom" by teleporting part of a bog into the classroom which immediately goes wrong when a swarm of flash bees are accidentally released.

After Starlight saves the students and deals with the flash bees, she finally loses patience and tells off the still oblivious Trixie for everything she did wrong. Finally realizing that simply being friends with Starlight is not enough to get her a position in the school, Trixie leaves with hurt feelings. Also hurt by that confrontation, Starlight discusses the issue with Twilight and they agree that some friends just aren't fit for any task, with Starlight admitting she should've voiced her objections at the start rather than let it escalate too far. Starlight talks with Trixie and they settle the issue. While Trixie concedes she's not fit to be vice head-mare, Starlight points out that all the remaining candidates have dropped out due to personal reasons, so Trixie suggests another close friend who would be more qualified. Sunburst turns out to be excited to be given such a position, especially since his old duties of Royal Crystaler have grown diminished due to Flurry Heart getting older. In addition, after seeing more of Trixie's tendency to unintentionally provide helpful advice, Starlight decides to make Trixie the school's new guidance counselor.

Considering the synopsis of all the remaining episodes, it looks like this will probably be the last episode to feature Starlight Glimmer, the School of Friendship, and its students such as the Young Six. (If I'm wrong, no spoilers please! I'd like to find out on my own, give myself a chance to be surprised.) I liked how throughout the selection process there was one pony (besides Trixie) who was clearly not as good as the others at the task of each stage, leading us to ultimately assume Octavia would get the position, only to hear that she ended up dropping out for being uncertain about balancing those responsibilities with her typical life (at least it was nice to hear the voices of Octavia and Doctor Hooves for the first time since the special 100th episode back in Season 5). And of course, there's Trixie once again being too arrogant for her own good and being forced to learn her lesson the hard way. At least Trixie will be given Starlight's old job at the school, and it was especially nice to see Sunburst is presumably now capable of moving to Ponyville now that his duties in the Crystal Empire have apparently been reduced. Not to mention, this episode had plenty of funny moments involving Starlight talking to a plant she named "Phyllis". Overall, I liked this episode, perhaps not my most favorite of the season, but definitely up there among those I liked the most.

Time for the next Equestria Girls short, another "choose your own ending" type, featuring Twilight Sparkle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_c5JAjFLK0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_c5JAjFLK0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight has written a schedule for her day at the Starswirl music festival, but she trips over a boom box and her phone is ruined by Bulk Biceps' sweaty chest, preventing her from accessing her schedule. At Spike's suggestion, she decides to to spend her day by following someone around.

Choose Celestia: Celestia is accompanied by Luna and Cranky Doodle, the three of them having attended every Starswirl music festival since the very first one some unspecified number of years ago. They let Twilight and Spike join them as they have fun old-school style (80s or 90s, by the looks of it). At the end, Celestia jokingly suggests Twilight write letters to her about what she learned (an obvious reference to one of the oldest themes from the pony series).

Choose Micro Chips: Twilight discovers Micro is apparently a fan of techno music performer MC Dex FX, and they end up disagreeing on some of the minor details, such as what the MC stands for or the identity of that person's gender. Twilight is ultimately proven wrong in her arguments when she sees Micro literally run on stage and put on the costume to perform as MC Dex FX.

Choose Fluttershy: Twilight waits for Fluttershy as she is getting changed. When she comes out, Twilight is shocked to see her dressed up as a fan of a death metal band called Skull Cruncher. Fluttershy admits she got interested in the genre after her talk with Vignette back when they visited the theme park (the Rollercoaster of Friendship special), and fears her friends will think she's weird, but Twilight is supportive enough that she decides to join her.

I think this is the very first "Chose your own ending" short where any of the Main 7 had only one of the options rather than two or all three. For this one, I think Celestia was the best choice, because Twilight was able to have a great time with her all day. Micro Chips was what I would call just interesting for revealing himself as the secret identity of one of Twilight's favorite music performers. Fluttershy (ironically, considering she's the only Main 7 choice) was definitely the out-there option (again, the kind I'm usually not fond of) for rather obvious reasons. Of note, based on the remaining shorts that have not yet released on YouTube, I can say that while this is not the last "choose your own ending" short, it is the last short based at the music festival, meaning that all the other remaining shorts will take place at the school and other usual places.

Post by: The Chronicler on September 17, 2019, 08:45:51 PM
So it looks like now that all the shorts that take place at the music festival have been released, they're now finally starting to release the six parts of the "Sunset's Backstage Pass" special. Here's Part 1 to start it off:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVTwoNnwjVM (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVTwoNnwjVM)

As with the previous specials, I've already posted my review of the entire thing back when it premiered on TV, so I'll just say a few thoughts on each part as they're released on YouTube.
Spoiler: ShowHide
Nearly all of this part is spent on Sunset's first run through the day that will end up being repeated in a time loop, so we know that every little detail that would normally not be such a big deal (such as stepping into a mud puddle) will turn out to be crucial indicators later on that Sunset is experiencing the time loop. Not to mention, this being the first run through also means Sunset has no idea what kind of things there are that prevent her from seeing Post-Crush thanks to an easily distracted Pinkie Pie, and therefore is unable to anticipate any of those distractions.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on September 21, 2019, 11:15:11 PM
Kind of strange that the Equestria Girls shorts suddenly stopped their three-per-week release schedule right after only the first part of Sunset's Backstage Pass, and even stranger that the playlist says it was most recently updated only yesterday. I guess we'll have to wait a bit to see what's going on there.

Either way, at least we still have this week's new episode of the pony series (it should be noted this episode was the last one to be released early in China, so all the remaining episodes after this one are the ones that were actually leaked).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-21-daring-doubt-stream_21.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-21-daring-doubt-stream_21.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Fluttershy has gotten interested in the Daring Do book series, and while meeting with Rainbow Dash, she claims to have read every book in the series, including an apparently new one that came out just a week earlier that Rainbow was unaware of. It turns out this latest book, which portrays Daring Do in a highly negative way, was written by a different author named "Martingale", who has written it from Caballeron's perspective. Rainbow and Fluttershy inform A. K. Yearling/Daring Do about it, then Rainbow and Fluttershy go to another book signing just across the street to confront Martingale, who's obviously Caballeron wearing a fake beard. But while Rainbow Dash immediately accuses Caballeron of making yet another attempt to take down Daring Do, Fluttershy makes the effort to actually listen to him. Caballeron claims that he and his crew had been taking artifacts with the intent of displaying them in a museum, but Daring Do kept taking them and putting those artifacts into her personal collection. Feeling sorry for him, Fluttershy accepts his offer to join him on his next expedition to retrieve a truth-telling talisman (which only a pegasus can reach), much to Rainbow's shock.

Rainbow warns Daring Do about Caballeron taking Fluttershy with him and they both immediately set out for the same temple. Meanwhile, as Caballeron and his crew journey towards the temple, they are astonished by the numerous small acts of kindness by Fluttershy to help them out along the way. When they finally reach the talisman, Fluttershy ends up in danger upon grabbing the artifact, so Caballeron and his crew work together to save her. Soon after, Rainbow and Daring arrive to confront them, but Fluttershy insists they're not really doing anything wrong. Now wearing the artifact and thus compelled to speak the truth, Caballeron admits he initially just wanted to take advantage of Fluttershy to take the artifact, but her acts of kindness along the way made him and his crew see things in a better light. But then Ahuizotl, who had followed Daring and Rainbow, catches up to the combined group and unleashes some traps against them.

Daring and Caballeron reluctantly agree to work together to escape, but after getting past a few obstacles, they end up trapped in a room with the only way out blocked by Ahuizotl. Much to everyone's shock, Fluttershy decides to simply talk to Ahuizotl and listen to his side of the story. It turns out his duty has been to protect the artifacts of the jungle, and through use of the truth-telling artifact, Daring admits she thought she was protecting those artifacts by taking them for herself, while Caballeron admits he was in it for the money of bringing those artifacts to museums. The three sides make a truce with Ahuizotl letting everyone go with Daring and Caballeron both promising to never take any more artifacts from his territory. Later, after how great things turned out from working together, "Yearling" and "Martingale" agree to co-write their next book, but are ultimately surprised by Ahuizotl writing his own book series.

All I can really say about this episode is that it's definitely the kind that deserves to be among the last few episodes of the entire series, because now that all sides have reached an understanding, there's unlikely to be anymore conflicts to provide interesting stories. I liked how Fluttershy was so willing to listen to all sides and bring understanding to the three-way conflict that had been going on for likely a very long time (perhaps Fluttershy should consider being a diplomat). But even though I'm okay with the point in the series this episode took place, I'm not quite willing to rank this one among my favorites.

Despite the odd absence of a release last Friday, the Equestria Girls shorts are thankfully still being released on YouTube. Today, we have Part 2 of Sunset's Backstage Pass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0CHdmGWIOA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0CHdmGWIOA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This part covers the second run and most of the third run through the time loop. In the second run, Sunset is understandably confused to see everything going almost exactly the same way as she remembered the first time around, but at least Twilight tagged along this time to help explain the concept of what she's experiencing. After the second run ends just as badly as the first one, Sunset is thrilled when she wakes up and discovers she's gotten a third chance, and thus spends the third run doing exactly what she said she would do if given such a do-over, and that is going completely solo to see Post-Crush (the consequences of which will be seen in the next part).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYWLPcdMOfE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYWLPcdMOfE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This part covers the end of the third run of that day, then skips ahead to "Day 17", and then most of the following run. Sunset's friends are obviously upset at her for ditching Pinkie, but doesn't have to face the consequences for long due to the time loop resetting everything the next morning. Then we quickly skip ahead more than two weeks from Sunset's perspective (but still the same day for everyone else), long enough where she's now able to predict almost everything that almost everyone does all day long. This time, she tries to escape the festival grounds, but the RV breaks down to prevent that. And on the following run, Sunset finally decides to ask Princess Twilight for advice, who eventually replies explaining about an Equestrian magical artifact known as the "Time Twirler". Later that day, Sunset and friends look for suspects and discover the Dazzlings are performing at the festival (nice to finally see them again after all these years).

No Equestria Girls short this Friday either, so it looks like they're now being released just every Sunday and Tuesday. Well, at least that's one less thing for me to be focused on today.

Regardless, we obviously still have this week's new episode (for those who refused to watch any of the leaks, since this is the first of those final remaining episodes that were leaked).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-22-growing-up-is-hard.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/09/season-9-episode-22-growing-up-is-hard.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The Cutie Mark Crusaders are excited to go to the Appleloosa fair, but despite all of their careful planning, the one thing they forgot to do was ask an adult to accompany them there. They ask Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight (I wonder why they never considered Pinkie Pie), but all of them are busy with other important things, and all of them remind the CMCs why they can't just simply go on their own without adult supervision. When they are left alone with a mysterious flower Twilight has been trying to study, they wish they could be adults, unknowingly triggering that flower's magical ability to grant wishes (limited by the number of petals left on the flower), and the three fillies are suddenly transformed into adult mares.

The CMCs immediately take advantage of being adults by boarding the train on their own, and continue to express excitement for being adults (ignoring all the weird looks from everyone around them). Unfortunately, they had ended up on the wrong train, and with the next one hours away, they decide to walk to Appleloosa with directions provided by a rather crazy pony at the ticket booth. They quickly get lost in the swamp, but eventually stumble across two foals. The brother, Biscuit, wants to bring their pet to the Appleloosa fair, but the sister, Spur, is against it due to worries how their pet might react around a crowd. Taking advantage of their adult stature again, the CMCs convince the two siblings to go with them to the fair. Once there, Biscuit enters their pet into a contest, and Spur is unable to find the CMCs to voice her objections, as they're too busy enjoying the fair (including rides they otherwise would've been too short for). Biscuit and his pet do well at first, but the cheering crowds agitate the pet to the point that it suddenly turns into a raging tornado that threatens to destroy the fair.

Twilight and Fluttershy (having completed research on the magical flower and suspecting the CMCs probably used it) arrive at Appleloosa just in time to see the destruction begin. Fluttershy immediately recognizes the creature and knows that it needs its caretaker to calm it down, so while Twilight and Fluttershy try to keep things under control, the CMCs find and bring Spur, whose presence is able to calm the creature. With the crisis dealt with, the CMCs admit to Twilight and Fluttershy that they now recognize they can't just suddenly be adults and that growing up the natural way is what provides them with the experience they need to be true adults. They use the last remaining petal on that magical flower to return to their younger selves.

I was really looking forward to this episode when I first heard about it, because we've already seen numerous times what many of the main characters were like in the past, so I was naturally curious to see one that showed what they would be like in the future. While this episode technically doesn't offer that, it did give us a glimpse with official adult forms of Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. I have to say, the most peculiar detail among those three is Scootaloo still having tiny wings with which she still can't fly, which to me implies she might have some sort of condition that has stunted their growth. As for the moral of this episode, it really does make sense that many responsibilities require years of experience, so it really comes down to the fact that physically becoming adult is not the same as mentally being one. Despite some moments of cringe, I actually liked this episode, and would consider it among my favorites of this season.


Just a heads up for you guys, my review of next week's new episode will likely be a day or two later than usual, due to the fact that I'll be attending my brother's wedding next Saturday.

Here's Part 4 of Sunset's Backstage Pass:

Spoiler: ShowHide
This part covers the end of Day 18 and nearly all of the following day. This part is pretty much all about the involvement of the Dazzlings (maybe it's because I last saw Rainbow Rocks many years ago and can't accurately remember what they originally sounded like, but I can't help but notice that some or all of their voices sound slightly different). Pinkie's attempt to get past the security guard ends up getting all of her friends kicked out along with her (talk about an epic fail), but Sunset is clever enough to use the knowledge gained from that failure to make a successful attempt on the next loop. Unfortunately, Pinkie's obsession with churros leads to trouble for Sunset yet again, driving Sunset to voice how much she has come to despise that particular snack after all the previous loops, which Pinkie overhears and ends up running away in tears. Oh, and it turns out the Dazzlings had nothing to do with the time loop, so the real suspect still remains unknown.

I watched non-stoppable everything that was released before MLP movie (first 7 seasons, Equestria girls movies and shorts, comics)  in just around couple months, ~1 year ago. and then I decided to wait when everything else will be released, starting from Movie, so I could wach it non-stoppable again, and that's what I'm doing now.
Only 18 episodes left already, from main series. :P *goes to sleep and analyzing some things*

oh, and also I'm officially into FIM fanfiction now. XD
Found couple stuff I like (super horror stuff), and possibly I will make something myself.

Okay, now that I'm back from my weekend trip, I finally got around to watching the latest officially released content today and I'm ready for my usual reviews. First up, it seems the Equestria Girls shorts are no longer releasing on Tuesday as well, so now it's just Sundays. Today, we have part 5 of Sunset's Backstage Pass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z9krOIMAeY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z9krOIMAeY)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Day 19 ends with Pinkie feeling terrible after finding out she had ruined Sunset's day multiple times on the time loop, which obviously makes Sunset feel bad for her and decides to spend the next loop giving Pinkie the best day ever. Using the experience she had gained from all the previous loops, Sunset is able to avoid all the minor issues and simply allow Pinkie to have her fun, such as actually winning that tandem bicycle and finally trying those churros (which ironically turn out to be not so good at all). A disgruntled deliveryman gives Sunset and Pinkie an opportunity to actually meet PostCrush before the show, but a few suspicious words drives Sunset to check their memories and discover they have been using the Time Twirler to create the time loop all because they want an absolutely perfect performance. Sunset is unable to convince them to stop, and worse, they now intend to permanently keep Sunset and Pinkie out by simply sketching their faces at the start of each loop to show to security. As for the current loop, K-Lo and Su-Z call security to kick them out immediately.


And now for the final regular episode of the series, an episode that anywhere else would've absolutely changed things for certain characters on the show.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/season-9-episode-23-big-mac-question.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/season-9-episode-23-big-mac-question.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Big Mac is planning to propose to Sugar Belle, and requests Spike to help with preparations, but Discord being Discord decides to invite himself along as well. Big Mac's plan is to have Sugar Belle follow a series of apples with messages on them leading to Sweet Apple Acres, where he will have built a picnic table resembling the countertop he made for her when they started going out. While Big Mac works on building that table, Spike and Discord try to set up the trail of apples, only for Sugar Belle to completely ignore the very first one. While Discord tries all kinds of antics to get Sugar Belle's attention (such as making those apples speak their attached messages), Spike ends up helping Mrs Cake who's frantically trying to finish baking 21 different items with little messages hidden inside. Spike tries to speed up the process with his dragon fire to plant all the messages at once, but ends up burning all the baked goods (many of which Spike mentioned didn't taste good anyway). Discord eventually decides to just take Sugar Belle directly to the final destination, but Big Mac isn't there, so then he takes her back to Sugar Cube Corner, where they find Big Mac, Spike, and Mrs Cake. As everyone gets upset in all the confusion, a monster apple suddenly comes charging into town.

While all of that was going on, Sugar Belle had her own plan to propose to Big Mac, and asked Mrs Cake and the Cutie Mark Crusaders to help. Inspired by Big Mac's failed gesture from Hearts and Hooves day, Sugar Belle's plan is to bake a bunch of items, each with one-word messages hidden inside, but this forces a frantic Mrs Cake to rush through all 21 items and make numerous mistakes. Meanwhile, the CMCs (to make up for their initial failures in helping start that relationship) agree to deliver a pie with the invitation directly to Big Mac, but to prevent Spike and Discord from finding out about their plan, they rush outside with Sugar Belle (missing that first apple as a result). In an effort to find Big Mac, Apple Bloom suggests following some of Granny Smith's advice, but they fail to find him in both unexpected and expected places. They eventually try asking Granny Smith, but she just rambles on about a recent dream (which is so obviously a big Star Trek reference), only for the monster apple (formed from Discord's talking apples merged together) to chase them into town.

After Discord undoes his magic on the apples, the combined group of Spike, Discord, Mrs Cake, and the CMCs (along with Granny Smith) argues over both surprises getting ruined, but when they later try to apologize to Big Mac and Sugar Belle, those two had already left. The two lovers arrive at Sweet Apple Acres and eventually arrive at the combined apple and pear tree where Big Mac's parents were married, where Big Mac laments how his relationship with Sugar Belle has been nothing but a series of big messes, but Sugar Belle points out how Mac's parents had to go through worse to get married and how they've been able to remain strong despite all those big messes. Big Mac and Sugar Belle then propose to each other at the same time. Later, the "interviews" with the other characters throughout this episode turn out to be on the wedding day where they explain to Applejack about their involvement in the proposal. Finally, Big Mac and Sugar Belle are married at the exact same site as where Big Mac's parents were married.

With how the relationship has developed between Big Mac and Sugar Belle over the last few seasons, it was really only a matter of time before they finally decided to make it official, and I suppose it would make sense to have such a dramatic change to the status of those secondary characters come near the end of the entire series. I certainly liked the format of the first two acts happening simultaneously (like certain pairs of different episodes before), along with the secondary characters sharing their thoughts in the style of an interview (much like the episode where Rarity opened her Manehattan boutique). Of course, with two sides trying to hide secrets from each other, it was inevitable that a big mess would result, especially with Discord getting involved. I also got a big laugh out of Granny Smith talking about her recent dream involving Grand Pear as an eccentric captain on a spaceship, Mudbriar having pointy ears and complaining about something "illogical", and Discord showing up and being his usual self, all of which is so obviously a huge reference to Star Trek (and you know there's going to be plenty of fan art about that). Overall, this was the perfect episode to count as the series finale among the slice-of-life episodes, and therefore definitely worth watching.

On a personal note, I find it kind of amusing that I ended up having to postpone watching this new episode that featured a wedding so I could attend a real wedding.


Also of note, Discovery Family is apparently showing a non-stop MLP:FiM marathon all week long, leading up to the series finale on Saturday evening.

As of this moment, the official premiere of the series finale episodes is now just one hour away. Since that's three episodes worth of content, I'll wait until tomorrow to post my thoughts in this topic, as I won't have time to do it right after watching it (not to mention, my lack of trust in the reliability of any of the streams means that I'll actually wait until a few hours later when someone uploads the official broadcast on one of the video sites).

At the very least, I decided to watch yesterday's behind-the-scenes special:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/official-special-decade-of-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/official-special-decade-of-pony.html)

It was definitely interesting to see all of that and hear what they all had to say. (Probably worth mentioning is that there are some brief spoilers of the upcoming final episodes, but since I've already been exposed to some bits and pieces that aren't quite enough for me to figure out how the story unfolds, I honestly didn't mind it at all.)

yesterday I finished watching till episode 23.
Have to wait for translation of last 3 episodes and behind-scenes special.
Then move to EG and comics and finish everything for good.

So, I watched it.

And here I won't write spoilers for plot, but I wanted to express my first and post-first impression.

Spoiler: ShowHide

Honestly, I feel pain in my heart.

It was predicted, actually, since show I watched closely for last year came to end. But... Unfortunately, I have to say that it happened not just because show ended, but because that feelings are mixed with some other very familiar feeling... Feelings I experienced after watching LBT14.

If somebody doesn't know, in my opinion, LBT14 had endless potential, had hopeful general plot (general carcass of plot, I mean), and had several very good and heartwarming moments. And then, the rest individual elements spoiled all the fun, and with all my submerging into atmosphere of movie, it all made me feel angry and badly sad.

The same happened here, or rather, in episodes 24-25. If it wasn't grand finale for the show, maybe I would react more calmer, (plus, a lot of similar things happened in past seasons in important episodes, I know that), but since it is finale, it made even a little bit worse. Maybe even one big steps worse that LBT14 reaction. Because behind the mask of many and many very good individual moments and elements (veeeeeery good moments I loved, they were here), and general plot that were presented in these episodes, also, there lies all nonsense , breaking some rules of MLP universe that was establishing for decade (as I personally think), and other weird characters' actions.

Unfortunately for me, feelings after watching some of particular big movies or cartoons or books doesn't vanish for long time, so I have to live with it for more days :/.

And no, honestly, I'm not talking about I'm upset because finale and its individual moments turned out not as I imagined and wished to see, no. :P

Episode 26 calmed my feelings a bit and gave some kind of solace and gifted me many warm feelings, but general impression is ruined. That's sad, but what can I do. Life is going, times change, but that's ok, lets look at it with big smile on our faces! :D


I still have to watch some MLP material (a lot, actually), but this was a big finish for main story.
Thank you, MLP universe, for taking small place in my life!

First off, today happens to be Sunday, which means another Equestria Girls YouTube release, and this week is the sixth and final part of Sunset's Backstage Pass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anUahnrfES0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anUahnrfES0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Near the end of Sunset's 20th run through day one of the music festival, she and Pinkie had just been kicked out after discovering PostCrush had been causing the time loop. However, the security guard decides to let them back in due to the respect Sunset had given him earlier that day. Sunset and Pinkie arrive backstage and struggle with K-Lo and Su-Z for possession of the Time Twirler, and when all four of them inadvertently end up on stage in front of a cheering audience, Sunset takes advantage of the distraction to destroy the Time Twirler. K-Lo is upset at losing any further chances for perfection, but Sunset notes that the still cheering audience shows how the crowd just wants to see PostCrush perform, regardless of how well the performance goes. Finally understanding they first got together just to have fun, PostCrush agrees to just go ahead with their performance, and even allow Sunset and Pinkie to play along with them. The next morning, Sunset is thrilled to confirm that after repeating the same day for three weeks, she has finally awoken on Day 2 of the music festival, which Pinkie is just as excited about.


Also of note, it was just officially announced that the Equestria Girls holiday special will officially premiere on November 2, three weeks from now, so I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that (especially since it was released early in Ukraine about a month ago, so now I can finally be assured that an official showing of it will be coming soon).

With that out of the way, time to discuss the final episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. First up, the two-parter episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/mlp-season-9-episode-24-ending-of-end.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/mlp-season-9-episode-24-ending-of-end.html)
Spoiler: ShowHide
In Part 1, with the upcoming coronation of Princess Twilight, the villain trio have been carefully influencing the ponies to distrust each other and even figured out how to utilize Grogar's bell to make themselves far more powerful than before. When Grogar returns, they use the bell to take away his magic, revealing that he's actually been Discord in disguise all along. Discord escapes to warn Twilight and her friends of the impending trouble, while confessing he had arranged the villain team-up (including the return of King Sombra) in an effort to boost Twilight's confidence ahead of her coronation.

Without Discord's chaos magic to fall back on, Twilight quickly sends out messages to warn everyone in Equestria about the inevitable invasion. The Pillars (the six heroes from the past introduced in the Season 7 finale) prepare to guard the borders, but are easily defeated and weakened by Tirek. At the School of Friendship, Trixie helps the students reach shelter while Starlight confronts Chrysalis, who is able to defeat and capture her. Back at Canterlot, Cozy Glow attacks Twilight and friends, and even manages to use Grogar's bell to take away Celestia and Luna's magic. The heroes are barely able to hold off Cozy Glow, but Tirek and Chrysalis arrive and the trio quickly overwhelm them. But at the last minute, at the urging of her friends, Twilight reluctantly teleports away.

In Part 2, the villain trio have imprisoned Twilight's friends, the Pillars, the Princess sisters, and Discord, but are in disagreement on what to do next. Discord tries to make up for his failure by confronting the villain trio, ultimately tricking Tirek into blasting open Starlight's cage, allowing her to free everyone else, and tells Twilight's friends to escape and find Twilight while she and the princesses hold the villains back. As the main ponies try to find Twilight, they discover the unicorns, earth ponies, and pegasi have isolated themselves due to immense distrust in each other. The main ponies eventually find Twilight in the Crystal Empire, but despite her best effort, she's been unable to come up with a plan on how the stop the villain trio, and things get even worse when the windigos show up (due to the amount of hatred and distrust among the ponies). But with some encouragement from her friends, Twilight decides they should directly confront the villains.

Twilight and friends return to Canterlot and fight the villain trio while attempting to take away Grogar's bell. They are unable to beat the villains, but just when all hope seems lost, a massive army of ponies, griffins, dragons, changelings, yaks, and hippogriffs arrive to help out, and it's revealed the Young Six had used their lessons from the School of Friendship to rally their respective kinds together. Inspired by the efforts of all those creatures, Twilight inspires her friends, the Pillars, and the Young Six, and together their combined magic of friendship banishes the windigos and strips the villains of the magic they got from Grogar's Bell. After Discord and the Princesses recover their magic from the bell, they finish off the villains by imprisoning them in stone (as suggested by Discord). Having proven herself ready to rule Equestria, Twilight decides to postpone her coronation until after Canterlot Castle is repaired, and she and her friends celebrate their victory by having some donuts together (much like they did back in the final scene of the Season 1 finale).

As I mentioned earlier, trying to avoid spoilers for weeks was very difficult, but the few pieces I got were not enough to tell me what really happens, and a real testament to that is how I was totally surprised by that twist of Grogar being Discord all along within only the first few minutes. For being the series finale, I was totally expecting practically all of the friends the Main Six had made over the years to come together to help them win the final epic showdown, and not only did we actually get that, I was especially excited that it was the Young Six who rallied them all together. But perhaps the part that I found most impressive of all was how that final rainbow laser attack was powered by the three groups of six friends representing the past (Pillars), present (Main Six), and future (Young Six), all working together. Overall, definitely an epic two-part episode worthy of being the series finale.


And finally, the epilogue episode.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-26.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/10/my-little-pony-season-9-episode-26.html)
Spoiler: ShowHide
Many years in the future, Twilight and Spike (both of whom are now much taller) are visited by a student from the School for Gifted Unicorns named Luster Dawn, who believes friendship to be a worthless effort that won't last, so Twilight shares the story of her coronation. Back then, Twilight is so worried about moving away from Ponyville because it'll mean leaving her friends behind. She tries to seek comfort from her friends, but they're all very busy with preparations for the coronation and their seemingly lack of worry for her leaves her even more distraught. Eventually, when her friends check on her before departing, she voices how upset she is that they don't seem as upset as she is about moving away.

Twilight's friends confess they kept themselves busy to distract from being upset. Unfortunately, sharing their feelings causes them to run late for preparations for the coronation. Although they arrive just in time for the ceremony to proceed, just about all the preparations Twilight's friends had made end up going wrong. But despite the complete disaster of a ceremony, Twilight and her friends eventually laugh it off. Starlight gives Twilight a gift, which is a book of memories compiled by her friends to remember all the good times they had together. Not wanting to let go of their close friendships, Twilight decides her first royal decree shall be to arrange a meeting between her friends once every moon, known as the Council of Friendship.

Back in the future, as Twilight finishes telling her story to Luster Dawn, her friends arrive for their usual meeting, showing us a glimpse of where they're at now (Pinkie Pie has had a daughter with Cheese Sandwich, Rarity has now expanded her business as far as Yakyakistan, Rainbow Dash and Applejack are seemingly living together, and Fluttershy is still hanging out with Discord). Luster Dawn is astonished to see Twilight and her friends are still together after so many years, but is still uncertain about where to make her own friends. As a final song plays, Twilight and friends bring Luster Dawn to Ponyville, where we see more glimpses of where many familiar characters are at (including the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the Young Six). The episode ends with the closing of the same book that was opened at the very start of the very first episode.

The majority of this episode focused on Twilight worrying about her friendships ahead of her coronation and the epic failure it turns into. But what ultimately made me very excited about this episode is the scenes that take place many years further in the future (we've seen plenty of flashbacks to the past throughout the series, so I've always been eager for glimpses into the future). I'm not gonna lie, I cried tears of joy during the final song when I decided to watch this episode a second time in a row (heck, I've even cried tears of joy just writing about this episode here). Needless to say, definitely one of my favorite episodes of the entire series, and definitely a worthy send-off of our beloved cast of ponies.


And that's the last of the regular episodes in the series. But I've heard there's going to be a few shorts coming out sometime soon (much like the Equestria Girls shorts). If and when they come out, I will definitely be sharing them here, along with my thoughts on each of them.

Me, I'm super pleased with the finale on every count.

Spoiler: ShowHide
Starlight had several seriously badass moments (defeating Crysalis in a 1v1 using her smarts and only losing because Crysalis was juiced up on magic, and later singlehandedly 1v3ing the terrible trio and freeing all the prisoners), and she ends up getting to do what she always wanted (even when she was evil); educating other ponies on how to live life and be happy. It shows she’s come a long way from when she was terrified of leadership due to her dark and troubled past. And finally, she gets to spend the rest of her life working closely with Trixie and Sunburst, the two ponies she bonded with the most in her life. Tbh I’m glad the writers didn’t openly ship her with either, I know Startrix and Starburst are both really popular ships and I didn’t want to see either get torpedoed for the other.

The finale episode was great, I honestly didn't think they were going to show us how everyone ended up. So many characters had cameos, they really pulled out the stops to get as many characters a final sendoff as possible. One thing they didn't focus on but was nice to see is that Equestria is full of different species now, which shows that the populace has embraced the Mane 6's efforts to spread friendship. Remember back in season 1, when everyone was suspicious of a single zebra who didn't even live in town? It's cool that there's evidence the Mane 6 has changed their world for the better, things didn't just stay the same. Considering most kids' shows don't get any sort of resolution, it's really great to see MLP button itself up with a satisfying ending that leaves all the characters better off than they started.

Just to inform anyone who might be interested, Equestria Daily has recently decided to do "episodes rewatches" where they livestream episodes of the show every Saturday, starting with the very first two episodes of Season 1, which was on earlier today. Personally, I'm not going to follow any of that (if I'm ever interested in rewatching any old episodes, I'll do it on my own time).

Strangely, there have not been any further YouTube releases of any Equestria Girls shorts over the past two weeks, despite the fact that we know from Discovery Family releases there are still three "choose your own ending" shorts and two music videos left to go. And with the Equestria Girls holiday special showing next week, then we must expect to at least see that show up in parts on YouTube some time later on. Not to mention, there's been rumors that the pony series has a few shorts due to appear soon as well (supposedly based on that book of memories that Starlight gave to Twilight at her coronation in the final episode).

Still nothing particularly new on the YouTube channel, but they did recently post this sort of compilation video that combines two older shorts and parts 4-6 of Spring Breakdown:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwSmfAUByE0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwSmfAUByE0)

It should be noted that the first short featured in this video, back when it was initially uploaded on its own, had some audio issue, so at least having it be part of this recent compilation means that it's finally available to hear in ideal quality.

Today was the official premiere of the Equestria Girls Holidays Unwrapped special. Now, I would normally post a link and then share my thoughts under a spoiler tag, but unfortunately I just can't do that tonight because, for some weird reason, I've been unable to find any links where I could actually watch this. Yes, even though it's now been over ten hours since it finished showing, I've searched all the video sites I can think of and still haven't been able to find a single reliable link to the whole thing (not even the leaked version from weeks ago)!

At this time, all I know for sure about this special is that it's not a single long special, but actually six different "shorts" combined together to fill in the hour-long time slot, which means each of these shorts are approximately seven minutes long, more than twice as long as most other shorts. This hopefully means that they'll eventually show up on the official YouTube channel as separate videos, but seeing they finally got Sunset's Backstage Pass up only last month, it could very easily be quite a while before these holiday long-shorts show up.

I still intend to eventually share my thoughts here once I can finally get a chance to actually watch it, but for now, all I can do is wait (im)patiently for any good link to show up.

Decided to make my 5000th post on this site be for what might likely be my last lengthy review post ever on this topic.

Had to eventually settle for a link in the comments to a site I've never tried before, but everything seemed to work fine to me, so I've been able to watch this collection of holiday themed Equestria Girls shorts. Anyway, here's the overdue link:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/11/equestria-girls-holidays-unwrapped.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/11/equestria-girls-holidays-unwrapped.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Part 1: The girls failed to stay awake in an all-night study session for their upcoming test on the water cycle and are left unprepared for it, but Rainbow Dash comes up with the idea to fake a snow day to trick Principal Celestia into cancelling school so they won't have to take the test. They work together using their talents and magic powers to create the illusion of a blizzard outside the window of Celestia's office, and while it does manage to initially fool Celestia and Luna, Cranky Doodle sees through the deception. Later, the girls are forced to take their test while serving detention, but manage to do remarkably well on it due to the subject being closely related to their efforts to fake a snow day, which Rainbow Dash claims was her real plan all along.

Part 2: Sunset joins Pinkie on her holiday tradition of baking a soufflé and giving it to Rarity, but the very short period of time that it remains fresh has resulted in previous efforts ending in failure, and Pinkie is determined to finally succeed. However, Pinkie and Sunset find the path to Rarity's house happens to be right in the middle of a massive two-sided snowball war involving almost everyone in the neighborhood, and everyone refuses to believe Sunset and Pinkie are not involved. Sunset provides cover and allows Pinkie to slip through the battlefield, and just when Pinkie believes she has run out of time, Rarity happens to walk by and is able to enjoy the soufflé while it's still fresh. Rainbow Dash attempts to ruin the moment, but Rarity just blocks the snowballs with her magic shield.

Part 3: Twilight joins the Apple family for their holiday party, which Applejack reveals has always been somehow ruined every time Flim and Flam show up, so Twilight comes up with an elaborate plan to counter their attempt at another scheme. Flim and Flam soon arrive and offer to purchase the cider intended for the party in exchange for a (fake) diamond, so Twilight and Applejack play along by giving them a jug secretly filled with water mixed with salt and pepper. The actual jug of cider is locked in a chest, but the Apple family is shocked to see it gone with a hole in the bottom of the chest, but Twilight reveals she knew Flim and Flam would go after the real cider and dug that tunnel to lure them into a trap. However, Flim and Flam bypass the trap and further taunt the Apple family by giving them back the jug of pepper water before leaving, but then Twilight reveals she had switched the labels on the jugs, meaning the Apple family gets to celebrate with the real cider after all.

Part 4: The girls plan to give away toys to little kids at the mall, but the toys are stored in Sunset's storage locker, and Sunset suddenly realizes she left the key in her locker at school, which is currently closed. Unable to simply walk inside, Sunset comes up with a heist-like plan to sneak inside the building to retrieve the key, but Twilight points out all the issues with it. Pinkie comes up with her own idea of a heist-like plan to sneak into the building, but Twilight also points out all the flaws with it. Applejack wants to use her magical powers, but Twilight quickly dismisses that idea. At the urging of her friends, Twilight comes up with her own plan, and it involves simply calling Principal Celestia to unlock the doors so they can retrieve Sunset's key. After giving away those toys to the kids, the girls decide to go shopping, but Twilight has their gift cards and she suddenly realizes she left them in her locker at the school.

Part 5: The girls meet up at the mall for their gift exchange, but Rainbow Dash completely forgot about it and is now forced to rush around the mall in search of a gift for Fluttershy. With so many long lines everywhere, Rainbow's only option is to accept help from Zephyr Breeze, who happens to work at one of the shops. Zephyr tries to impress Rainbow with gift ideas, but Rainbow keeps rejecting them as she knows Fluttershy would never want such things. Eventually, Zephyr finally takes Rainbow's request seriously and offers a camera to replace one that broke the previous year, which Rainbow gratefully purchases and rushes back to her friends. The girls are finally able to exchange their gifts, and although it turns out Fluttershy already has an identical camera gifted to her by Zephyr Breeze, she's actually happy to now have two of them.

Part 6: At school, Applejack invites her friends to start a new holiday tradition by offering for them to pose for a holiday greeting card like she does with her family. The theme she has in mind for this year is a "cornucopia", and while some of them are unsure about it, Rarity agrees to make outfits for all seven of them for the picture. While Applejack gets the photo shoot prepared in the auditorium, Rarity quickly makes various fruit and vegetable costumes that make them all look ridiculous. After enduring lots of humiliation from their classmates in the hallway, they reach the auditorium, but it turns out Applejack never had any intention of making them dress up. However, not wanting their embarrassment to be all for nothing, they convince Applejack to join them in their ridiculous costumes for the picture.

After so many shorts that had an average length of only two minutes, it was nice to finally see some shorts that lasted seven minutes, which helps to give the story more time to play out at a reasonable pace, though it also means that various running gags end up going much longer than they probably should (though that may depend on your preferences). Personally, I loved parts 2, 4, and 5, while I found parts 1, 3, and 6 to be just fine (and since I suspect these shorts will eventually be released on the official YouTube channel at some point, I'll give my thoughts on each of them separately when they do come up). Overall, this was a very nice format to see, and on its own is another good addition to the series (but this unfortunately means no proper series finale like FiM got, although that final shot at the end of the last part could be considered at least a decent final moment for the series).


Even though this was supposedly the last content (pony or EqG) that will ever premiere on TV, there's still some shorts yet to show up on the official YouTube channel. I'm not just talking about these EqG holiday shorts I just went over, but there's also said to be six FiM shorts that'll focus on the creation of that book of memories that was given to Twilight by her friends in the final episode. No word yet on when any of that will come out, but I'll be sure to bring it up here as soon as I'm aware of them.

In other news, the upcoming new MLP movie (said to be the official start of whatever the G5 series will be) is now officially scheduled to be released in theaters on September 24, 2021. Kind of hard to imagine how this means almost two years of hardly any new content in the meantime, but I suppose it's good to know that we now have a definitive date of when to expect the beginning of the new pony series.

Big news announced just earlier today!
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/11/hasbro-presser-reveals-new-show-title.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2019/11/hasbro-presser-reveals-new-show-title.html)

Next year will be the premiere of a new pony series based on the same Main 6 we're familiar with (including the same voice actresses), but with different animation and a completely different setting (an alternate universe, if you will).

My Little Pony: Pony Life

Since this is obviously not meant to be the G5 series that will follow the movie two years from now, fans are regarding this new upcoming series as G4.5 (kinda like how there was an infamously terrible G3.5 series). Personally, I'm not really sure about this one, as first impressions are that I personally won't find this much interesting at all, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what we'll get next year.

I’m a bit skeptical with this new series. The designs of the Mane 6 are really off putting in my opinion. This looks to be an even more kid-friendly and silly premise of the G4 series that I watched and enjoyed, although looks may be deceiving. Who knows, perhaps it won’t disappoint. But either way, l’m not really interested like you are Chronicler, and I’m not really thrilled on checking out G5 either. I just don’t care to continue watching the MLP series in general, despite the fact that I may still make references to MLP on this forum pretty often.

So it looks like the official YouTube channel has decided to completely skip all those other remaining shorts (three "choose your own ending" and two music videos), because now they've started releasing the longer shorts from the recent holiday special. Here's the first one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YSqEK6zH4k (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YSqEK6zH4k)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The girls fail to stay awake for an all-nighter study session for an upcoming test on the water cycle. They wake up only half an hour before school starts, but Rainbow Dash comes up with the idea of creating a snow day to convince Principal Celestia to cancel school so they won't have to take the test. Throughout the montage, Sunset paints on a large canvas to look like the scene outside the principal's office window is covered in a lot of snow, Applejack brings in that canvas and a ton of ice, Fluttershy instructs some woodpeckers to break that ice into particles resembling snow, Twilight uses her magic to lift piles of that fake snow into place, Pinkie fights with a racoon in her efforts to make a snowman out of potatoes, and Rarity knits a scarf for that potato snowman. When everything is set up, Celestia and Luna are initially fooled by what they see out the window, but before they can make the call, Cranky Doodle arrives to inform them of what's really going on outside. The girls are given detention before they take their test, but Rainbow claims that thanks to their effort to fake a snow day, their hands-on project was an excellent way to prepare for that test on the water cycle.

While it's always nice to see the Main 7 girls working together to accomplish something, it's a little hard to side with them when that effort is as underhanded as trying to fool the principal into cancelling school and ultimately getting caught and given detention as a result. At least the montage had some good moments, such as Pinkie wrestling with that racoon over those potatoes, Twilight using her magic to telekinetically lift large piles of snow around, and Sunset using her magic to see the "memory" of a snowflake through the water cycle. Not one of my favorites, but still a rather good one.

Time for the next of the Equestria Girls holiday shorts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4FGNhgx9-o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4FGNhgx9-o)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunset Shimmer assists Pinkie Pie with her holiday tradition of baking a soufflé for Rarity, for which previous attempts had ended in failure due to the very short amount of time that soufflé remains fresh. Pinkie sets the timer to seven minutes as she and Sunset begin to head out, but even with their best preparations to ensure success this year, they find the path between Pinkie's house and Rarity's house is surrounded by two sides of a snowball war involving many people in the neighborhood. The Apples side refuses to recognize Pinkie's neutrality, so Sunset provides cover and fights back to allow Pinkie to escape through the battlefield. Just when time runs out and Pinkie fears she's failed again, Rarity suddenly shows up and, at Pinkie's urging, is able to enjoy the soufflé as intended. The success is almost spoiled by Rainbow Dash disguised as a snowman for a sneak attack, but Rarity is able to use her magic shields to easily block the attack.

This one may have started off rather silly (as is to be expected of Pinkie), but it was the snowball war that really made me like this short. Sure, they're just throwing snowballs at each other, but the way everyone seemed to behave like it's real combat (and apparently making some references to some war movies) just made it absurd enough to be hilarious. Sunset had an epic moment where she dodged a giant snowball thrown by Applejack and quickly struck back with a mid-air throw. Flash Sentry, on the other hand, totally flopped his chance to finally help out by slipping over after just a few seconds on the run. Overall, I would actually consider this my most favorite of all these holiday shorts.

Here's another Equestria Girls holiday short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8lCIOelCY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8lCIOelCY)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Twilight is invited to join the Apple family for their annual harvest festival, which Applejack explains always ends up ruined whenever the Flim Flam brothers show up. Twilight offers to come up with a plan to outwit Flim and Flam, and guides the Apple family in preparing for it. The plan is set in motion when Flim and Flam arrive and ask to purchase their cider intended for the festival with the offer of a "real" diamond. Twilight and Applejack play along with the ruse, knowing the jug labeled as cider they're giving away is actually filled with water mixed with salt and pepper. But after Flim and Flam apparently leave, the Apple family are shocked to discover the trunk containing the real jug of cider is now empty with a tunnel dug out underneath, but Twilight claims to have foreseen that and set a trap to catch them as they escaped. Unfortunately, Flim and Flam bypassed the trap and leave with the cider, leaving behind the jug of salt-pepper water. However, Twilight had deliberately mislabeled the jugs, meaning the Apple family will get to enjoy the cider at their festival after all.

This one is arguably my least favorite of the six holiday shorts. This was the only one where it's not cold enough for the characters to be wearing their winter outfits, and in all honesty, I still can't even remember the name of whatever holiday celebration it is that the Apple family does. While I did enjoy seeing Twilight join in and utilize her smarts to help the Apple family, it ended up leading to a huge series of deception and counter-deception that ultimately just made everything too confusing to keep up with. I guess that curse of Applejack episodes being the least popular has continued right up to the very end.

Time for this week's Equestria Girls holiday short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isMl8-CTc7E (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isMl8-CTc7E)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The girls are planning to give away toys to little kids at the mall, but all the toys are locked inside Sunset's storage locker, and the key had been passed around to the point that it turns out to be in Sunset's locker at school, which is closed. Unable to get inside the usual way, Sunset comes up with a heist-like plan to sneak inside to retrieve the key, but Twilight points out all the serious flaws with that idea. Pinkie Pie comes up with her own heist-like plan, but again Twilight points out all the serious flaws in it. Applejack expresses her desire to use her magical super strength powers, but Twilight quickly dismisses that idea. After all that skepticism, her friends insist on Twilight coming up with her own plan, and it involves simply calling Principal Celestia to unlock the doors so Sunset can retrieve her key, which obviously works without any issues. Later, after giving away all the toys to the kids, the girls are ready to go shopping, but all of their gift cards were given to Twilight, who unfortunately left them in her locker at school.

This was another one that I liked, mostly due to the fantasies of some of the girls on how they would try to retrieve a key from a locker inside the closed school (Sunset's was my favorite). Of course, Twilight provided the voice of reason to explain why all of those ideas were completely impractical in reality. Not really much else to explain, but the visuals sure were rather amusing at times.

Here's the next Equestria Girls short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8we-yE3rq8o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8we-yE3rq8o)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The girls have gathered at the mall for their secret gift exchange, but unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, she forgot it was going to be today, so now she has to find a gift for Fluttershy very quickly. Although being at the mall seems ideal for finding a gift, the long lines that are literally everywhere frustrates her to the point that she reluctantly accepts an offer from Zephyr Breeze to cut the line at the shop he works at. Zephyr tries impressing Rainbow with various gift ideas, but Rainbow knows that none of them would be appropriate for Fluttershy, especially frustrating considering it's his sister that the gift should be for. Eventually, Zephyr gets the message and suggest a camera to replace the broken one she had, and Rainbow gladly purchases the item and rushes back to her friends. Although Fluttershy admits that Zephyr had already gotten her an identical camera, she is still pleased to have two of them for certain photographic capabilities. And of course, the rest of the girls exchange their gifts too (Applejack gave Pinkie a mini party cannon, Rarity gave Rainbow Dash a sports jersey, Sunset gave Twilight a stuffed parakeet (reference to the Rollercoaster of Friendship special), Fluttershy gave Applejack a hammer, Pinkie gave Sunset a video game (apparently the sequel to the squirrel game that she had issues with in an earlier short), and Twilight gave Rarity a book (specifically a Shadow Spade novel that she likes reading)).

This was another one of my favorites among the holiday shorts. I liked how despite denying to her friends that she forgot about the gift exchange, Rainbow Dash immediately did everything she could to get an ideal gift for Fluttershy, even though it meant accepting help from Zephyr Breeze, and on top of that, she was really thoughtful enough to pass on so many other suggestions that would obviously never be a suitable gift for Fluttershy. It was also nice that, if you were to look closely, you may have noticed a bunch of familiar characters in the background at various moments, some of which haven't been seen in years. Not to mention, I also liked seeing all those other gifts that were given at the end of the short (including Snips and Snails giving each other those high-five sticks).
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on December 21, 2019, 10:00:10 PM
And now we have the sixth and final Equestria Girls holiday short:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMB_3ooLTVE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMB_3ooLTVE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
At school, Applejack invites her friends to start a new holiday tradition, inspired by her family's tradition of dressing up in various themes for a photo and sharing it with their relatives. Most of the girls are reluctant to take part in it, but eventually agree for the sake of respecting Applejack's family traditions. Applejack reveals the theme for this year's photo is a cornucopia and Rarity quickly agrees to design the costumes for the photo, but it's not until after Applejack has left to set up the photo shoot in the auditorium that Rarity realizes what that theme actually is (that large horn full of various fruits and vegetables). Even so, Rarity refuses to beck down from her commitment, and quickly creates some very ridiculous costumes, which she and her friends put on before heading out to the auditorium, only to be seen and humiliated by their classmates in the hallway along the way. When they finally arrive, Applejack clarifies that she only wanted them to be photographed in front of a simple cornucopia backdrop, pointing out that the costumes of her family holiday photos was entirely Granny Smith's idea. After the amount of humiliation they had to put up with to get there, the girls convince Applejack to also put on the ridiculous costume Rarity had made, and the seven girls pose for their holiday photo.

This was among the three holiday shorts that I didn't like as much as the others. Most notably, the fact that they got Applejack to put on her costume after they had already arrived at the auditorium proves that they didn't have to subject themselves to all that humiliation; they could've just carried all the costumes with them and then put them all on at once after they got there. On a personal note, I simply don't like having my picture taken, which not only adds to why this is among my less favorite shorts, but also made me somewhat sympathize with Sunset, who subtly tried everything she could to opt out of the photo shoot. Finally, it should be noted that, as far as we know, this is the very last official Equestria Girls content, so while we didn't get a proper finale like the pony series did, the final scene where the seven girls give their holiday greetings by saying their names for the photo shoot is at least passable for a final moment in the series.


And as far was we know at this time, this is the very last Equestria Girls content to ever be released (unless if the official YouTube channel ever gets around to releasing those five shorts that were released on the Discovery Family app back in August). However, it was announced only a couple day ago that there will be an Equestria Girls comic coming out in March next year. While the pony series has had comic books come out consistently for years, Equestria Girls has had only two comics previously released, each of which shortly followed after the first two Equestria Girls movies a few years ago (the second of which ended up with such a notorious reputation that some have argued it's the reason why it took so long for a third Equestria Girls comic to even be considered). Too bad I have no means of obtaining any MLP comics and have to rely entirely on second-hand online sources of information for only a basic idea of the contents, because I really would be interested in seeing this when it comes out.

At the very least, those of you who are interested in more pony content can look forward to next year having not only that aforementioned Equestria Girls comic, but also the pony series comics with their "Season 10" theme starting in April (assuming, of course, you have the means and willingness to purchase those comics).

For those who are interested in following the "Season 10" comic book series, the first of them has just been officially announced:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/01/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-89.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/01/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-89.html)

Pretty much all we know about it at this time is that it involves Applejack, Rockhoof, Tempest Shadow, and Zecora traveling to Zecora's homeland (a location that fans have been eager to see for many years).
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: ImpracticalDino on January 25, 2020, 02:10:11 PM
And one of those eager fans is me! I’m happy to know they’re finally going to tackle and explore the mysteries of Zecora’s homeland after a long wait. Based on the illustrations, it looks like a real life equivalent of Africa maybe, since we see a savannah landscape here. I won’t get the comic, because I don’t care too much about the MLP comics in general, and I’d just read the general plot summary of the comics once they release it one by one. What’s interesting in the synopsis of the comic is that it calls Twilight Sparkle a “queen” instead of a “Princess.” It’s weird because I thought they didn’t want to use the former term because it associates more with evil. Could be a typo, oh well. But anyways, the addition of more lore to the story is sure a welcome one indeed. :)

(I've been struggling to find much time for anything lately, so I'm aware that I'm about a week late reporting this.)
Anyway, it was recently announced that the official comics will have a crossover between MLP and Transformers:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/02/new-transformers-friendship-in-disguise.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/02/new-transformers-friendship-in-disguise.html)

Considering both brands are owned by the same company, I knew it was only a matter of time before they decided to try something like this. I don't really know much about the most recent generation of Transformers, and in any case I'm unable to obtain any of these comics anyway, but for those for you who might find this interesting, this is just to let you know that it's actually happening.

For those who is interested in fanfiction:

I discovered this jewel of my favorite genre: horror.

Read only at night, alone, with turned off lights.

If you are interested and brave enough, there:

There's also two released sequels and one upcoming finale that would be released this spring.

(Thanks Subgod I watched MLP: FIM for the first time only last year, so I didn't read this story in 2012, or I would die of wating for final part!
I like this story even more than TV series  :bestsharptooth)

Now here's a nice surprise we got today. Among the last remaining Equestria Girls shorts that never got an official YouTube release (two music videos, three "choose your own ending" shorts), one of the music videos just got its official YouTube release (apparently to celebrate International Women's Day). So, as I have always done, here's the link, followed by a brief review under the spoiler tag:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qg5uZO2UOQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qg5uZO2UOQ)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The song in this video is performed by Flash Sentry's band, and the lyrics he sings are about how he's completely okay with being the supporting role to the Main 7 girls who are always using their magic to save the day. The video is a demonstration of this as the concert is interrupted by Micro Chips losing control of his giant toaster robot that's now going on a destructive rampage, and the seven girls pony up to fight back. At one point, Sunset Shimmer loses her magical necklace that's the source of her power, and Flash risks his life to get it back to her so she and her friends can finish off the giant robot.

Ever since the Equestria Girls series went from the once-a-year movies to a series of shorts and one-hour specials, Flash Sentry's role has notably been diminished to the point of practically becoming a background character. This music video shows us his true thoughts regarding where he stands in comparison to the main girls, and it seems he has happily embraced his supporting role. There's no need for him to be a macho guy when those girls have already proven themselves capable of dealing with whatever trouble heads their way, and he's totally cool with that. And of course, there's that bit of shipping tease between him and Sunset seen in the video.


Since this seems to have been for a special occasion, it's doubtful we'll see any more new official YouTube releases (after all, in addition to the four aforementioned shorts, there's also two more music videos from the previous season that still haven't gotten an official YouTube release), but I'll remain hopeful that we'll eventually have them easily available for all to watch.

This week has seen the release of the Equestria Girls comic (which I've certainly been looking forward to see), along with issue #88 of the main series - the last one before the start of the Season 10 series of comics.

However, due to everything around the world shutting down for you-know-what, all future comic releases (which, yes, includes the first part of the Season 10 series that was due to release next week) have been postponed indefinitely.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/03/diamond-comic-distributors-to-shut-down.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/03/diamond-comic-distributors-to-shut-down.html)

I guess it was inevitable, and I suppose that if it had to happen, this is actually a good point for the MLP comic series to go into indefinite hiatus (like I said, the latest issue that did get released is the last one before the Season 10 series was due to start).

Ooh, fellow pony fans!! :Mo

I have mixed feelings on the Season 10 comics, considering that some of the previous comic storylines have been difficult to fit into MLP canon (though I've enjoyed them anyway). Is this "Season 10" stuff just a rebrand of the regular FiM comics, or is it going to ignore characters and plots from previous comics (seems unlikely) and use only the show for reference? Guess we'll just have to see...

Should I be surprised or not that every single member that joins the GOF is an MLP fan? :Mo :lol

@RainbowFaceProtege: How many seasons of MLP: FiM have you watched? Personally, I watched every single episode...well eh, not exactly. I skipped some episodes of Season 9 because at that point, my interest for the show was dwindling and I started getting tired of watching it...especially since my mind is being occupied by other shows now. I still love MLP and most of the characters, but I’ve moved on from the show for the most part. I still like listening to the music, making numerous references from the show, and reading MLP fanfics, but other than that I’m done. I also look forward to the Season 10 comics, which have unfortunately been delayed.

My favorite pony as of now is Pinkie Pie! What’s yours? :Mo

Probably not, haha...we like our friendship-oriented musicals! :lol

I've seen almost the entire show! Only thing I've missed is a lot of the Season 9 episodes. I went to YouTube for a handful that I just had to see, but aside from that I'm waiting on Netflix to pick up that season. My pony phase, too, faded out for a few years, but lately I've started re-watching the show, and I'm really enjoying it.

I'm also looking forward to the Season 10 comics! It's too bad they had to be delayed, but I understand why. I've been diving into the comics more than ever lately. Now that the show's over, I gotta get my pony fix somewhere!

My favorite pony as of now is Pinkie Pie! What’s yours? :Mo
Not surprised, you definitely strike me as a Pinkie Pie person. :PAli My favorite "pony" is actually Discord. :p I love his humor and what a soft side he develops as the show keeps going. Though I was pretty disappointed with how they used him in the Season 9 finale...
Spoiler: ShowHide
It made him look pretty dumb IMO for him to think that such a shabby plan wasn't going to go awry somehow. I think he would've kept better control of things than that. And considering the Season 4 finale, I just can't believe he would ever think letting Tirek loose was a good idea!


For my favorite main character, hmm...I'm between Fluttershy and Twilight. Back outside the main cast, I also like Celestia and Luna--the comics and episodes where you get to see their everyday lives are hilarious! :lol

Honestly, I really wanted to like Discord a lot and to regard him as one of my favorite MLP characters, I really did. But the way the writers portrayed him and made him do stupid actions and decisions all the time (like you said yourself) has really dimmed my perception of him overall. I really dig his relationship with Fluttershy, Big Mac, and Spike, but other than that he's been unnecessarily rude to the other characters. I wouldn't mind if it were sometimes, since being snarky seems to be part of his personality, but doing it all the time is just overkill.

Yeah, I was shocked as well that this "Grogar" turned out to be Discord this entire time? I thought he would be smart enough to keep all of his released villains in check, but ugh, I guess I should've known better.
:bang

Funnily enough, my favorite pony before Pinkie Pie was actually Fluttershy. :p

I wouldn't mind if it were sometimes, since being snarky seems to be part of his personality, but doing it all the time is just overkill.

Yeah, I was shocked as well that this "Grogar" turned out to be Discord this entire time? I thought he would be smart enough to keep all of his released villains in check, but ugh, I guess I should've known better.
:bang

Funnily enough, my favorite pony before Pinkie Pie was actually Fluttershy. :p
You'd have preferred it was the actual Grogar?  I had no problem with what Discord did.

Well, I have no opinion on that actually. I never even knew Grogar was an actual character from Gen 1 until his first reveal in Season 9. I wouldn't have had a problem in the end...if Discord was actually successful in his plan. Like ugh, this is not the first time he screwed up in his actions.

Honestly, I really wanted to like Discord a lot and to regard him as one of my favorite MLP characters, I really did. But the way the writers portrayed him and made him do stupid actions and decisions all the time (like you said yourself) has really dimmed my perception of him overall. I really dig his relationship with Fluttershy, Big Mac, and Spike, but other than that he's been unnecessarily rude to the other characters. I wouldn't mind if it were sometimes, since being snarky seems to be part of his personality, but doing it all the time is just overkill.
Well, I can't deny that Discord spends much of his time being a jerk. No beating around the bush there! :rolleye I actually used to dislike him quite a bit, but after Season 4 he somehow began growing on me. I realize he's not everyone's cup of tea, though. The way his personality demands attention both from the other characters and from the viewer every time he shows up probably contributes to how fans are divided between loving and hating him...not a lot of neutral ground. I was disappointed that certain episodes involving him (What About Discord, Matter of Principals, the show finale) did not fit with the character arc they'd been giving him earlier at all. I wish the fan theory that he'd actually been trying to trick the villains into reforming when he released them would've been correct--that would've been far, far better development for him.

Did I mention that when director Jim Miller was interviewed on the season finale, he said that having Discord be Grogar made sense considering Discord's weird logic, then went on to say Discord was his favorite character?? Just--gahh--what--WHY would you give your favorite character such a poor ending at the finale of the show? How could you twist his development for the sake of some "big reveal" that, no matter what you may have thought, DOESN'T make sense?? You betrayed me and the rest of your fellow Discord fans, man!!

*Sigh*...Nevertheless, though I can sit here and go on about all this, I've never been able to bring myself to quit liking Discord again. Who am I kidding here? I get a kick out of wordplay and visual gags, and this guy delivers them in buckets. More than that, his unlikely friendships with Fluttershy and the guys always make me love him again regardless of how much he's screwed things up. Call it Fluttershy syndrome! :lol

Now that you mention this fan theory, I agree. And yet, we end up with Discord screwing up everything once again, and he and the others had to rely on the Mane Six to set things right again. Yes, we as humans are bound to make mistakes once in awhile, but it seems like something Discord somehow commits on a daily basis. I do admit, Discord utilizing his cunning style to trick the villains into freeing Starlight Glimmer was pretty cool on his part, but does it really make up for the mistake he had done earlier? The Mane Six believes so, but as for me, I'm not so sure.

Also, hasn't Discord essentially thrown "temper tantrums" in the past because the other characters leave him out on certain things? Like when he doesn't get to be the head principal of Twlight's School when she was out of town? I know how he feels, but he should realize that the world doesn't revolve around him and there's a reason Twilight Sparkle chose Starlight Glimmer over him. And he only stopped after Starlight said sorry to him. Talk about her appeasing to the aggressor of all things, the one that turned into a ghost and terrorized the school just because he was rejected a position in Twilight's school. Yikes. :sducky

My favorite pony as of now is Pinkie Pie! What’s yours? :Mo
Not surprised, you definitely strike me as a Pinkie Pie person. :PAli My favorite "pony" is actually Discord. :p I love his humor and what a soft side he develops as the show keeps going. Though I was pretty disappointed with how they used him in the Season 9 finale...
Spoiler: ShowHide
It made him look pretty dumb IMO for him to think that such a shabby plan wasn't going to go awry somehow. I think he would've kept better control of things than that. And considering the Season 4 finale, I just can't believe he would ever think letting Tirek loose was a good idea!


For my favorite main character, hmm...I'm between Fluttershy and Twilight. Back outside the main cast, I also like Celestia and Luna--the comics and episodes where you get to see their everyday lives are hilarious! :lol

That's my biggest problem with Discord's characterization in the later seasons. At that point in the show, the only Discord episodes I re-watch much are the ones with Spike and Big Mac, because everything else just completely backtracked on Discord's character development.

But other than that, those other episodes with him were annoying at best.

Ooh, yes! It's too bad they dropped those episodes altogether in the last two seasons. Yesterday I was re-watching the last one, "Discordant Harmony" from Season 7, and...squeeeeeeeee!!! Discord and Fluttershy are so adorbs with each other!!! (Though I don't actually go as far as to ship them, but they're just cute in any case!!) Several of my favorite MLP episodes ever involve these two! :DD

They just spent too much time focusing on characters that I didn't find very interesting, not to mention there seemed to be one OOC moment after another from the characters who'd been established for a while. And then there was that Cozy Glow...well, I'd better not even go there! :anger

I love how Discord would literally do anything to protect Fluttershy, while at the same time being apathetic to almost everyone else. :lol

I guess that what happens when a show goes on for far too long. I mean, look at Spongebob for example. It was only supposed to go on for 3 Seasons after the Spongebob movie, but after Stephen Hillenburg stepped down, the other producers and writers took over and kept going. Season 4 was still pretty good in my opinion, but Season 5 and onward saw decreased episode quality and character degradation (ugh, Patrick Star!) Stephen Hillenburg did return recently for the latter half of Season 9 and also Season 10 as an executive producer, but unfortunately he was diagnosed with ALS and died quite awhile ago. R.I.P. :(

I think there was one particular episode in Season 7 that I really loathed after watching it. It was called Fame and Misfortune. I don't remember much unfortunately since it has been a long time since watching it (and I really don't want to), but I do recall everyone in that episode acting ridiculously stupid. Like ugh, nothing sensible was going on in the episode at all.

I never watched Spongebob, but just seeing people talk about cartoons, I've noticed it's often used as an example of a show going on too long for its own good. PBS's Arthur is another example that comes to my mind...when traditional animation gets a bad Flash makeover, you know things are headed downhill. :p

Oh yeah, I remember "Fame and Misfortune." As practically a direct response to fan reception of the show, I believe it was intended to be more of a tongue-in-cheek break in the fourth wall than anything else. I was just neutral on it...it was amusing enough at times, but it was too incoherently silly to become a favorite of mine.

Honestly, I thought that the idea of ponies raving about whose friendship lessons were better was just ludicrous. There's always value in each lesson, no matter how insignificant or how known the lesson is. I felt so bad for the Mane 6 in that episode, the entire town was being a bunch of buffoons and morons. Damn, I was thinking if those ponies haven't learned anything about friendship from the Mane 6. Perhaps they should all go to Friendship School. :lol

But yeah, even when the Mane 6 sung their "Dexus ex Melody", it didn't do anything to soothe the tensions of the town. Honestly, I'm not sure if I prefer that the song fixed the issue or not. Because if it did, then it'd be such a cliche.

And that's how Twilight's idea for the School of Friendship was born! :lol

In the context of the canon, the episode's premise is definitely ridiculous. I have to admit, however, that I'd hardly consider it to be an episode that was meant to be taken into canon in the first place. I interpreted it as more of a self-aware "ponies react to fandom flame wars" inside joke.

Twilight and friends venture into the land of cutthroat wiki debates and YouTube trolls, where they find that the lessons they were created to teach in the first place have fallen on deaf ears! Fans are at each other's throats over best ponies and magically-materializing princess wings! Will the Mane 6 be able to squash fandom fights with the magic of friendship? Nah, these silly fans'll never learn--but that's alright, because the Mane 6 are happy with who they are even if some fans aren't. (Besides, the little girls they were targeting in the first place have been getting the point of the show all along, and that's what really matters!) :p

I think one of the things that threw off the episode is that they made it look as if the fan ponies were the ones that were going to have to learn a lesson, but instead, the Mane 6 ended up teaching each other the lesson about self-acceptance. The flow of the episode just didn't make much sense.

Discord: Oh, what fun is there in making sense?
Me: Discord, stop trying to weasel into this thread again!! This has nothing to do with you anymore, and you're gonna have to live with that!

I've seen almost the entire show! Only thing I've missed is a lot of the Season 9 episodes. I went to YouTube for a handful that I just had to see, but aside from that I'm waiting on Netflix to pick up that season. My pony phase, too, faded out for a few years, but lately I've started re-watching the show, and I'm really enjoying it.

While Season 9 is still not yet available on Netflix, it has recently become available on Hulu, if you're interested.

Okay, I've got quite a lot of news to share here.

First, you might recall back when the main series ended that I mentioned there were rumors there would be a few "clip show" specials, essentially specials with some new content mixed in with clips from other episodes throughout all nine seasons of the show, all based around that book of memories given to Twilight in that final episode. Although they are definitely confirmed now (a total of six full-length episodes, known as "Friendship is Forever" episodes), they have not yet aired here in America nor has any scheduled date of release been announced yet, but they have just recently been shown in Australia, so if you know where to look online, you'll be able to find all six of them available to watch. (I've already seen them, but I'll withhold sharing my reviews of them until after they officially air in the US.)

Second, the new releases of the comics that were postponed due to business shutdowns everywhere now finally have their new release dates announced. The Transformers crossover series will be in late July, while the start of Season 10 will be in mid August. Still quite a long time to wait, but at least now we have a definitive date.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/05/my-little-pony-comics-finally-get.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/05/my-little-pony-comics-finally-get.html)

And third, the upcoming new series "Pony Life" (the so-called G4.5 series intended to provide some form of new content between the end of FiM last year and the release of the new movie scheduled for later next year) has now finally got a confirmed day for when its first two episodes are scheduled to air, which will be on Saturday, June 13, at 11:00am (the same time as when episodes of the previous series used to premiere). There's been a lot of doubts among fans (myself included) if this show will be any good, but at least now we officially have a day when we can finally see for ourselves just what exactly this new series will be like.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/05/two-episodes-of-pony-life-possibly.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/05/two-episodes-of-pony-life-possibly.html)

So yeah, quite a lot of news to report, but at least this means we finally have some things to look forward to.

So it looks like Pony Life might not be starting next Saturday, as previously reported. After how long it's been teased and promoted, one does have to start wondering just how much longer we have to wait before we can finally actually see what the big deal is all about.

And just a few hours ago, EqD mentioned that MLP's official YouTube channel has been running a live stream continuously that's still ongoing. In addition, it looks like they finally added one of the three "choose your own ending" shorts that for some reason were never included with the others last year, which means I can finally share my review of that short. (And as far as I've kept track, the Equestria Girls shorts that still haven't been officially released on YouTube include those other two "choose your own ending" shorts, one music video from last year (used to be two, until one of them was added just three months ago), and two more music videos from the previous year.) Of course, due to YouTube's recent policy that prohibits links within "kids" videos, it's no longer possible to actually "choose" your preferred ending, and must instead watch all three on them in a specific sequence (though I'll write my review as if a choice was still available anyway).

Note: The short in question covers only the first five minutes of the following video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9TcaE6AAWc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9TcaE6AAWc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Rainbow Dash is due to play a soccer game very soon, but she can't go out on the field because she's unable to find one of her socks. Rarity, Bulk Biceps, and Trixie all offer to help solve her issue.

Choose Rarity: Rarity sews a brand new sock for Rainbow, but takes so long to complete it that it's almost the end of the game by the time Rainbow is finally able to come out onto the field. Rarity had gone the extra length to add gems all over that sock, which Rainbow initially hates, until its high reflection ends up blinding the opposing players, allowing her to easily score the winning goal.

Choose Trixie: Trixie offers to let Rainbow borrow her own lucky sock for the game. However, during the game, that sock starts moving around on its own, as if it was enchanted with magic. Thankfully, its uncontrollable movements ultimately makes Rainbow score the winning goal.

Choose Bulk Biceps: Bulk offers to let Rainbow borrow his lucky sock, which has not been washed for six years. The stench is so horrible that everyone nearby recoils in disgust or simply pass out, which includes the players on the opposing team and thus allows Rainbow to easily score the winning goal. When Rainbow immediately gives back the sock, Bulk claims the sock wasn't lucky at all and he just wanted to teach her a lesson in self-confidence.

For this one, I think Trixie was the best choice, because she was quick to help and the replacement sock appeared to be the most practical one, even if it did seem to have a mind of its own. Rarity is a close second, mostly because valuable time Rainbow could've spent actually playing the game was wasted on excessive work on a sock that just looked ridiculous, even if it did help to score the winning goal. Bulk Biceps was definitely my least preferred option because that sock of his was absolutely disgusting, and that's all I really need to say about that.

I'm sure I've already clarified this before, but just a reminder, Pony Life is not of the same continuity as FiM, with the only significant similarities being the basic personalities of each character (which is why most fans commonly refer to Pony Life as G4.5 to differentiate it from FiM as G4 and the not-yet-announced G5 that will get its start with next year's movie). As an example, according to one episode synopsis, television exists in the Pony Life universe, which after over 200 episodes over 9 season is clearly not something that exists in the FiM universe.

I will say it's getting annoying how we still don't have any definitive dates for when episodes of Pony Life will finally start showing, only the implication that it'll be "sometime very soon". I've even heard that Canada might end up premiering this show before America, if these unexplained delays keep up. Either way, I'll definitely be sure to mention here when the first episode of Pony Life finally shows up.

In additional news, the biggest MLP fanfiction site, fimfiction.net, was down for about 32 hours yesterday, apparently due to some hardware issue with their servers. Thankfully, the site's back up and everything seems fine, so I'll be able to continue working on the latest story of my fanfiction series (not to mention resume checking for other stories I'm interested in reading and adding them to my ever expanding "read it later" list).

Thanks for the info @The Chronicler, I haven't been keeping up with MLP news as much as I used to. So...Pony Life is basically gonna be modernized FiM, hmm? As for the continuity--I guess I should've clarified that I already knew it wasn't the exact same continuity, but I'm just wondering whether it's going to change so much that the Mane Six + Spike will be the only characters who get carried over. If characters like the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Applejack's family, etc. get erased from existence, this isn't gonna go over well with me.

And who's this Potion Nova pony, anyway? IS she even a real character, or just one that was invented specifically for the toyline?

Honestly, I'd just prefer if they just pulled the plug on all FiM-related/associated productions after the finale of the core show. Just rip it off like a band-aid and get to work on G5.

I'm nervous about G5. I hope they give us a new group of main characters instead of rebooting the adventures of Twilight and Co., because they're not gonna be able to improve on the Mane Six's original run. Yet, from a marketing standpoint, I'd say the fact that FiM was such a success means Hasbro's probably gonna want to keep using its main characters, so I'm afraid G5 will turn out to be Friendship is Magic 2.0 or something... :confused

Then they will fail and MLP's ten year winning streak will cease.

In 2020, I still look back at the trio of new shows they released "MLP: Friend is Magic", "Transformers Prime", and "G.I. Joe: Renegades," it still tickles me that MLP was the last one standing by quite a few years.

Still no definite release date yet for Pony Life, but today, a couple videos were revealed which finally gives us a true first glimpse of what this series will actually be like.

Trailer:

I have to say, this is definitely... something, is all I can really say about it. I doubt it'll ever be among my favorite shows, but at least I can appreciate it for what it is. I'll watch all of the new episodes as they come out, but I probably won't rewatch them multiple times as I did with FiM episodes and Equestria Girls specials.

Hmm...I don't know what I think yet, tbh. :olittlefoot

But there are more new videos now, one to introduce each Mane Six character. Interesting that Fancy Pants appears in Rarity's into for a second--now, if they include him, but leave out characters like the CMC or Discord, I'm gonna be really disappointed.

Here's the playlist!

All I see in that post is the trailer video, which I had already provided an indirect link to in my previous post (then again, I didn't bother actually playing that video to see if it switches to another video in some list after finishing the first video). Here, this page shows all of the character promo videos listed separately:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/pony-life-character-promos-appear-on.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/pony-life-character-promos-appear-on.html)
(Interestingly, they cover only five of the main six ponies, for some weird reason.)

And a quick reminder, it seems like the first episode is scheduled to premiere in Canada on Sunday. If it does, I'll try to see if a video of it gets uploaded somewhere later so I can watch it and later post a quick review of it here.

Looks like the first two episodes did actually show in Canada earlier today. For those of you who have not seen it but are interested in watching it, here are the video links I went with to watch these episodes.
Episode 1: https://sendvid.com/snqqosb6 (https://sendvid.com/snqqosb6)
Episode 2: https://sendvid.com/dnr2kxao (https://sendvid.com/dnr2kxao)

So it looks like the format for this show is that each episode covers only half of the old half-hour length we were familiar with, so that's only ten minutes for an entire episode. Not only that, but each episode is divided into two parts for some reason, so that's five minute segments that Pony Life is ultimately intended for.

Although the animation is a bit more wacky with cartoon physics ramped up to a high level, I was able to appreciate the level of humor this new show has going for it. In addition, the main six ponies are remarkably familiar in terms of their personality, with only the very slightest of differences to fit the zany atmosphere of this show, but most importantly is how they all have the exact same voice actresses as they had with the previous series.

Ultimately, my thoughts on this show are mostly unchanged from my first impressions. While I won't exactly consider this one of my favorite shows, I can definitely appreciate it for what it is.

Alright, that covers my thoughts on the show in general, thus far. Now to share my thoughts on the specific episodes.

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Pinkie Pie plans to audition to participate in a baking reality TV show, the Royal Jelly Juggernaut, where one of the judges is Princess Celestia. Twilight is concerned that Pinkie will end up embarrassing herself, so she and the others try to help her control her wild behavior with poor results. A big sticky mess in the kitchen prevents all of Pinkie's friends from being able to be there for her as she auditions. But despite Pinkie being rather clumsy in virtually every step of the baking process, the resulting cake receives high praise from Celestia, so all of Pinkie's friends learn that they shouldn't have been so quick to doubt her chances of success.

Second episode, Rainbow Dash expresses pride at always being the best of the best, but a new guy named Dishwater Slog proudly brags about being the worst at everything. While Rainbow initially doesn't want to have anything to do with that guy, she is unable to refuse a competition when he challenges her to see which of them is the worst of the worst. Despite her efforts, Rainbow fails at the three challenges, but then she cleverly argues Dishwater is better than her in other ways (like being a total jerk to a child), thus leaving the score tied. They settle on a tiebreaker by whoever loses a race, but while they initially compete to back up towards the starting line, Rainbow gives in to her desire to win and rushes ahead to win the race. Although Dishwater tries to argue he won the contest by losing the race, Rainbow insists that she doesn't need to play by someone else's rules to feel like a winner.

I have to say, I'm quite impressed to see that, despite being wackier and zanier than FiM, Pony Life has shown that they also make the effort to teach valuable lessons and morals. I'm also glad to see they've brought back more voice actors than just the main six ponies, with Celestia having her same voice actress, and another familiar name voicing Dishwater Slog. As for these episodes in particular, it was fun to see the various ways Pinkie's friends tried to essentially tame her wild behavior, while I liked how Rainbow Dash was able to argue that she was worse than Dishwater at doing bad things as a way to keep the competition going. I know that doesn't sound like I have much to say, but let's face it, this type of show is not intended for in-depth analysis, so I might as well just roll with it and enjoy the fun moments.

First off, some more videos were made available a few days ago, not only providing the sixth of the main pony character intros, but also an intro to the location of Sugarcube Corner, along with "best of" compilations of three of the main ponies (that some might consider spoilers for upcoming episodes).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/new-meet-applejack-in-pony-life-video.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/new-meet-applejack-in-pony-life-video.html)

And of course, we have this week's two new episodes shown in Canada, so here's the links I had used to watch them.
Episode 3: https://sendvid.com/xtreu83h (https://sendvid.com/xtreu83h)
Episode 4: https://sendvid.com/efj9red8 (https://sendvid.com/efj9red8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Rarity is suddenly inspired to start wearing a hat just like the one Applejack wears, which quickly catches on as the latest fashion trend for everyone. As a result, Applejack starts having an identity crisis from feeling like she can't stand out like she used to, so Pinkie suggests trying to wear a new hat. After trying out a pilot, a firefighter, and an astronaut hat don't work out, Applejack settles on a black beret. After a while, Applejack continues to feel depressed, and eventually decides that she shouldn't let popular trends interfere with her identity and proudly goes back to her old hat. At the same time, Rarity had recognized how upset Applejack had been, and ends up forcing the start of a new trend to encourage everyone to abandon those hats, allowing Applejack to once again stand out as she used to.

Second episode, as Fluttershy struggles to prove she can be tough without being perceived as cute, she ends up meeting a new friend in the form of a talking cat named Bubbles. The two of them hang out together a lot, but when Fluttershy brings him along for working out at Rainbow Dash's gym and browsing Twilight's library, he behaves like an absolute jerk to everyone he encounters. Bubbles brushes off his rotten attitude as "sass", and every time Fluttershy tries to call him out, he just puts on a cute face and offers friendship bracelets, which gets instant forgiveness from Fluttershy. However, when he goes too far by insulting Pinkie right in her face, Fluttershy tries to make him understand how means he's been, to which he simply walks out to find a new friend instead. With encouragement from her friends, Fluttershy decides to confront Bubbles, and when he tries to put on the cute face again, Fluttershy fights back with her own adorableness, ultimately proving to be too much for Bubbles and he is sent flying away.

From the first episode, Applejack's imagination from trying those other hats seems to imply that modern vehicles like airplanes and firetrucks apparently exist in this version of the pony world. As for that new trend Rarity uses to get everyone away from Applejack's style of hat, it's those oddly designed sponge cubes that... turn out to be edible? Yeah, I don't get it, to be honest... For the second episode, it was nice to finally see Spike at that scene in the library. However, I really didn't like that among the mean things Bubbles said and did was telling a fart joke, despite how everyone (except oblivious Fluttershy) were justifiably disgusted by it. As for the way Bubbles was "defeated"... it just made absolutely no sense to me at all. Quite frankly, if anyone ever asks me which point of the series ultimately made me realize this show just isn't me, I can say with certainty that it was Episode 4.


So yeah, at this point, although I appreciate this show for what it is, I can now say that it just isn't for me. As a result, I have decided that I will not be rewatching any episodes I've already seen, and I will watch all the upcoming episodes only once purely for the sake of awareness on what exactly will occur in the entire series (both for me and so I can provide a brief review for anyone here who might not want to watch it but is at least somewhat curious about the content).

A couple more "best of" videos were released a few days ago, so now five of the six main ponies have been covered (the only exception for now being Twilight, interestingly enough).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/my-little-pony-pony-life-best-of.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/my-little-pony-pony-life-best-of.html)

And as is now usual, this week's new episodes (as shown in Canada), and the links I had used to watch them.
Episode 5: https://sendvid.com/ci0xfjxx (https://sendvid.com/ci0xfjxx)
Episode 6: https://sendvid.com/ade84zw5 (https://sendvid.com/ade84zw5)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Rarity is able to ask Fancy Pants to spend some time together on a walk later that day, but some mishaps lead Fancy Pants to mention how "bad things happen in threes", causing Rarity to dread the possibility that the third bad thing might happen during their walk. Her friends are unable to assure her otherwise, and she escalates to the point where she is convinced the only way to prevent a disaster on her upcoming walk is to induce the "third bad thing" by sabotaging her friends' activities. This effort is thwarted by Gummy putting up a remarkably good fight that leaves her trapped in the pantry, and when her friends free her just in time for when Fancy Pants arrives, she finally realizes she should not have worried so much over such a silly superstition. And once she goes on that walk and tries to actually get to know Fancy Pants, he turns out to be so full of himself that Rarity becomes convinced the "third bad thing" all along is that she discovers she doesn't even like him after all.

Second episode, Pinkie Pie is preparing to appear in the final round of the Royal Jelly Juggernaut (the competitive baking reality show previously mentioned in Episode 1), but is unable to make any progress as each of her friends ask for her assistance for their numerous problems: Fluttershy is overwhelmed with foalsitting, Twilight fell behind on organizing some films, Rainbow Dash has gotten sick, and Rarity and Applejack want input on renovations to Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie struggles to keep up with everyone's demands and makes no progress at all in preparing for her appearance on the baking show by the time Celestia has to call in to remind her to show up. This causes Pinkie's friends to feel bad about asking too much of her, and offer to help her make a spectacular cake on the show. Despite Celestia declaring it the best cake she's ever had, she has to disqualify Pinkie for not making it on her own, as stated by the show's rules. Pinkie is devastated by this loss, but later regains hope when she is invited to the "all star" special for another attempt on that show.

For the first episode, it was rather amusing how Rarity's new headband getting soaked by that potion not only made it change color but also gave it the power to show ponies dark and evil secrets. I also have to admit I found it rather amusing how in Rarity's efforts to sabotage her friends' efforts she behaved just like Gollum, complete with the wall climbing ability and split-personality act with a raspy evil voice (which also kind of reminds me of the FiM Season 2 episode "Lesson Zero" regarding Twilight going completely insane). For the second episode, really the only thing I'd like to point out is the whole subplot of Rainbow Dash being sick, which leads me to wonder if this episode was finished or even started prior to certain real world events going on this year. Overall, I find it interesting that after just the first six episodes, all but one of the main six ponies have now had episodes focused on them, with the only exception being Twilight (which I find rather peculiar, considering she was practically the lead character of the previous series).

Two more "best of" videos, this time covering Twilight and Spike.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/new-pony-life-teasers-for-spike-and.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/new-pony-life-teasers-for-spike-and.html)

And for this week's episodes, interestingly, rather than being ten-minute episodes divided into two parts, these are instead separate five-minute episodes, so that's four of them in total for this week.
Episodes 7 & 8: https://sendvid.com/upe8t3lz (https://sendvid.com/upe8t3lz)
Episodes 9 & 10: https://sendvid.com/oakqui1a (https://sendvid.com/oakqui1a)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Fluttershy has made it no secret how excited she's been to become part of some scout troop and earn badges for a chance to meet Fin-tastic the (talking celebrity) dolphin, who she is a huge fan of. When her friends receive the reply for their group application, they discover they've been rejected for being over the age limit. However, despite knowing they should tell Fluttershy the truth, none of them can bring themselves to potentially hurt her feelings, so they start making up various activities to earn fake badges to satisfy her.

Second episode, as a crucial part of being part of the scout troop, Fluttershy insists on selling cookies. Her friends initially agree to help out, but Fluttershy keeps pushing them into further increasing production and profits by any means necessary. Her friends eventually get burned out to the point they confront her with the argument that selling cookies was supposed to be just a fun activity for the scout troop, which they were no longer feeling under her brutal demands. Fluttershy apologizes, but when she sees Spike still caught up in the rush to help out, she does nothing about it.

Third episode, for earning another badge for the scout troop, Fluttershy's friends agree to help her explore the forest in search of the mythical "Bighoof" creature. But once they get out into the woods, many of them start getting easily paranoid at everything around. Fluttershy and Pinkie go missing for a little while, but are soon found with Fluttershy helping free Pinkie who was stuck in a tree. Fluttershy ultimately admits how unlikely she is to find that creature, and settles on taking a group selfie with her friends in the forest.

Fourth episode, Rainbow Dash gets distracted on her way to helping her friends arrange a fake party for Fluttershy's scout troop group (having still not told her the truth of rejection). In her rush to get everything done at the last minute, Rainbow overuses Twilight's duplicator machine and suddenly finds herself in a dystopian future that had been caused by her efforts with the duplicator. An elderly Tank with a communicator informs Rainbow that the only way to return everything to normal is to slow down and relax, and once Rainbow finally does that, she suddenly finds herself back in her present time, only now with plenty of time to prepare for the (fake) party.

Interestingly, all four of these episodes follow the same theme of Fluttershy's desire to be part of that scout troop (I honestly can't even remember what official name they gave it). Unfortunately, the fact that her friends hide the rejection letter from her and maintain the lie through all four episodes ends up making them all look really bad, in my opinion. Fluttershy's friends lying to her and she never learns the truth, Fluttershy practically bullying her friends into full obedience without shame, a search through the woods that pretty much leads nowhere, and Rainbow Dash seemingly time traveling by going too fast and then slowing down, all of it was just way too ridiculous for me. Last week's episodes had been decent enough to make me consider better appreciating this show, but this week's episodes, all four of them, brought me right back to the same conclusion I had made two weeks ago; this show is just not for me at all, I will not rewatch any episodes, and will watch all upcoming episodes only once purely for the sake of awareness. Though at least on the plus side for this week's episodes, we got to see the houses where Fluttershy and Twilight live, and we got to hear the pony-pun names of some well-known internet sites.

To start off this week's latest news, the official comics are now beginning to resume releasing after being postponed due to the pandemic. This week's new issue is a relatively short one that serves as the official start of the "Season 10" series.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/free-comic-book-day-edition-of-mlp.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/free-comic-book-day-edition-of-mlp.html)

As with previous weeks, there have also been a couple more "best of" videos for the Pony Life series.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/new-pony-life-teasers-with-more.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/new-pony-life-teasers-with-more.html)

And finally, this week's new episodes of Pony Life, and like last time, they're four five-minute episodes.
Episodes 11 & 12: https://sendvid.com/0cx19t4z (https://sendvid.com/0cx19t4z)
Episodes 13 & 14: https://sendvid.com/8m65kqmu (https://sendvid.com/8m65kqmu)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, the Main Six prepare for a race where they build carts for their pets to drive. Although it's supposed to be just for fun, Rainbow and Twilight immediately get very highly competitive, pushing their respective pets to win. Once the race is underway, Tank and Owlowicious are so determined to win that they end up wrecking all four of the other carts in their wake. Thankfully, they notice the carnage before reaching the finish line, and turn back to help their competitors cross the finish line at the same time. This result forces Twilight and Rainbow to apologize for being too overly competitive.

Second episode, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are excited for opportunities to earn badges for their Trail Trotters Troop (FYI, that was the troop name I couldn't remember from last week's episodes). Despite some reasonable suggestions from the others, Rarity insists on performing a magic show, blatantly ignoring everything from her friends' discouragement, the CMCs eager to volunteer, her friends not agreeing to "volunteer", and Twilight's concern about using three potions at once on all of them. As a result, Rarity is horrified when she accidentally send her friends into "the void", and when the CMCs look up information on the potions to discover it was the result of Rarity's ignorantly selfish behavior, she repeats the trick on herself and brings her friends back with her.

Third episode, while Pinkie is saddened that her oven breaks down and has to be junked, Twilight arrives with a new machine that requires some extensive assembly. She's confident in her ability as the self-proclaimed "master of instructions", until she discovers the absurdly long instruction sheet consists of nothing but a bunch on incoherent diagrams with no labels at all. After she and her friends despair over those confusing instructions, Twilight decides to just make her own instructions, and cheers up Pinkie by asking her to help out. In the end, the completed engineering project turns out to be a new oven for Pinkie.

Fourth episode, Fluttershy is eager for her next attempt at a Trail Trotters Troop badge (for which her friends still haven't told the truth to her) by hiking up a volcanic mountain with her friends. She also insists on inviting Discord to join them (despite her friends' opposition to the idea), but Discord refuses to go due to simply being not interested. The Main Six eventually reach the top of the volcano, but Fluttershy is so desperate to have Discord join them that she tosses Pinkie's dessert monstrosity into the volcano, intending to start an eruption that would be chaotic and exciting enough to attract Discord. But now with the lives of her friends at risk, she quickly realizes she made a terrible mistake, though thankfully Discord shows up and stops the eruption. With Discord still not interested in joining her efforts with the Troop, she lies about the existence of a "Solo Scout" (though it's not lost on the others how that reaction is very much like how they've been lying to Fluttershy about the Troop, which they still refuse to admit the truth).

So it seems that it's Rainbow and Twilight who tend to be highly competitive in this series, rather than Rainbow and Applejack from FiM. While it was nice to see the Cutie Mark Crusaders again, seeing Rarity pretty much behave just like Trixie really brought down that episode (though it's good that her friends eventually called her out for her awful behavior, I'm sure some fans would have rather seen Trixie herself fill that selfish role more appropriately). I mentioned previously how Twilight had so far been the only Main Six pony to not have an episode focused on her, and it looks like this one where she struggles with instructions might be that first such episode. And finally, we also got to see Discord again, and although he's got a different voice actor (kinda makes him sound a little British), he's still very much the same as we remember from FiM (though it seems here Fluttershy has become far more obsessed with having him around, to the point where she outright ignores any worries from the rest of her friends). Overall, while it was nice to see Twilight finally get some attention, I still don't like how Fluttershy is being treated like she could get away with anything.

And finally, we also got to see Discord again

Prior to the Discord episode, "Princess Probz" was the only Pony Life episode I'd bothered to watch, just because it was the first one. I heard some not-so-favorable things about later episodes (a fart joke in MLP??) that put me off. However, ever since I heard that Discord was going to return, I knew I was going to have to see how they handled that episode. My verdict?

Spoiler: ShowHide
"Discord's Peak" was just...weird. Peter New's voice acting as Discord was all over the place--one second it sounded passable, the next it bombed, and overall I doubt I'd bother to watch him as Discord again. Voice acting aside, though, Discord was still not the same. This low-budget animation didn't allow for really any entertaining antics from him at all. Heck, Rarity dropping her jaw and spilling a ton of gems out of her mouth early in the episode was more Discord-ish than anything Discord himself did in this episode. Now that the Mane 6's cartoony power has been amped up so much, Discord is the least wacky character in the show.
And then there's Fluttershy. :ChomperEww Oh my gosh, what did they do to her in this show?? She was just...a jerk, endangering all her friends just to get Discord's attention. This downright obsession she has over Discord now really isn't sitting well with me. It doesn't help that I never was into Fluttercord, but I don't even see how Fluttercord fans could applaud this characterization. If this kind of crazed infatuation is what Fluttercord looks like, who would want it? This whole episode felt like some bad Fluttercord fanfiction...

First off, the usual two more "best of" videos, essentially previewing some upcoming episodes.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/more-pony-life-clips-appear-with-few.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/more-pony-life-clips-appear-with-few.html)

And of course, these week's new episodes of Pony Life.
Episodes 15 & 16: https://sendvid.com/kvb7cykw (https://sendvid.com/kvb7cykw)
Episodes 17 & 18: https://sendvid.com/lubkmh8q (https://sendvid.com/lubkmh8q)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, the six ponies decide to go camping out in the woods. Rarity is upset about not bringing any of her "glamping" supplies, and struggles to enjoy "the great outdoors" with the rest of her friends, at one point falling into a river and needing to be rescued. Eventually, Applejack explains that the point of camping is going outside your comfort zone, and assures Rarity that simply being out there with them allowed her to already fulfill that, giving her the confidence to finally start enjoying camping with her friends.

Second episode, Pinkie Pie is using so many appliances for her baking efforts that simply attempting to recharge her phone and tablet causes the power to suddenly go out. Because it'll take a while for the power to be restored, Twilight suggests she and the others pass the time by telling campfire-style stories. All six ponies attempt to tell their own version about a baking horror story involving a 27-layer cake, but all their different storytelling styles cause them to frequently argue. Once the power is eventually restored, they quickly unplug all the appliances to prevent another power failure, then they remark about how this incident will make for another interesting story to tell.

Third episode, the six ponies are making friendship bracelets out of various beads. Trixie shows up and tries to join in, but ends up making a mess of everything. The others try to convince her that there's a lot more to friendship than making and sharing bracelets, and one training montage later, her next attempt at a friendship bracelet is more successful.

Fourth episode, it's finally time for the winning Trail Trotters Troop to go for their "meet and greet" with Fin-Tastic the dolphin. As you might recall from previous episodes, Fluttershy's friends have been lying to her the whole time about their application for the troop, earning badges, and even about winning that contest. The others meet up with Fin-Tastic ahead of Fluttershy to inform him of their predicament, insisting that she's his biggest fan. Fluttershy is thrilled when she finally meets him, but while he plays it cool, he also exposes the whole series of lies her friends had fabricated for her. While Fluttershy is devastated and runs off to gather her thoughts and feelings, Fin-Tastic explains to the others (in his own unique way) that it's always best to be truthful right from the start. Fluttershy returns and comes to an understanding that, despite being due to that lie, she really did enjoy all those fun activities she did with her friends.

I pretty much expected everything that ended up happening to Rarity in her efforts to fit in with the camping trip, so that was nothing new to me. I did like the premise of a power outage being used, and while it was amusing to see the six ponies each have their own storytelling style, I found the contents of those stories to be a little hard to follow. I did like seeing the Pony Life introduction of fan-favorite Trixie, and it seems her behavior and attitude here is pretty much the same as what we saw throughout all nine season of FiM. And with the arrival of Fluttershy's ultimate goal of meeting Fin-Tastic, the big lie from her friends was finally exposed, but not only did I find it a little annoying that it took this long for the truth to be exposed, the resolution also felt rather underwhelming. Really, all I can say about these episodes is that I'm glad Fluttershy's fake-troop story arc is finally over with, and hopefully the upcoming episodes won't be quite as terrible.

With the long-delayed comics soon to be releasing at last, we're now starting to see some preview pages of the ones coming up within the next week or two.
Part 1 of MLP/Transformers crossover: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/transformers-friendship-in-disguise.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/transformers-friendship-in-disguise.html)
Issue 89 (start of Season 10): https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/season-10-comic-preview-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/07/season-10-comic-preview-my-little-pony.html)

No more "best of" Pony Life videos this week, but of course we still have this week's new episodes.
Episodes 19 & 20: https://sendvid.com/qcq7k8bo (https://sendvid.com/qcq7k8bo)
Episodes 21 & 22: https://sendvid.com/fcp8laoc (https://sendvid.com/fcp8laoc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, after yet more fun with potions, Twilight questions where they even come from, but Pinkie realizes that they just simply appear in her fridge overnight. Twilight is determined to find out who keeps secretly delivering those potions, so she (with help from Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy) makes several attempts to stay up all night to see for herself, but ends up failing every time.

Second episode, Pinkie has been given a special order for cupcakes from Princess Celestia, but help is limited with Twilight and Fluttershy out sick, and even worse when Pinkie also ends up falling sick and has to leave the kitchen. Applejack also falls sick and is forced to go home, leaving only Rainbow and Rarity to figure out Pinkie's instructions. After struggling a bit, they try to ask for advice from Pinkie, but her sickness causes her to make even less sense than usual. Rainbow and Rarity soon discover the instructions specify to simply do the opposite of whatever delirious advice the sickened Pinkie tried to give them, which ends up practically automatically solving all of their problems very quickly.

Third episode, the Main Six are greeted by Potion Nova, who reveals herself to be the mysterious supplier of all those potions. She has chosen to reveal herself because she needs help reaching the Potion Ocean to resupply her potions. After a long journey across the land, they arrive at the Potion Ocean, where Potion Nova admits that the only real reason she asked them all to come with her is because she simply felt lonely on journeys, though she does eventually accept Twilight's request to become her apprentice.

Fourth episode, the Main Six try to have fun at the beach on the shore of the Potion Ocean, with Potion Nova warning them to stay away from the "Cute Triangle" where things vanish. Applejack tries to get everyone together for a group activity, but constantly ends up frustrated with everyone frequently wandering off to do their own things. Eventually, Applejack forcefully demands everyone to stick together in a small area between three rocks, which happens to be the "Cute Triangle" and soon turns into a column of water that submerges them all. They quickly work together to gather some various lost items around them and make their escape.

So it seems the next story arc will focus on the source of all those potions. From the first episode, I liked that very brief glimpse of how, just like in FiM, Twilight used to live in a tree house until it was blown up, though in this case it was from a failed attempt to recreate one of those potions. The one where almost everyone ends up falling sick seems so relevant to recent times that I have to wonder if it was done deliberately for that reason. Not only do we finally meet the pony supplying the potions (whom Twilight is very eager to learn from), but we also got a brief glimpse of a map of the land of this world (which is apparently a large island, with Ponyville located on the southwestern corner of it). I also liked how the third episode opened with a sort of meta reference about how they haven't been on any magical adventures and instead have been through more comedic circumstances recently. And with the following episode taking place right at the same beach where that episode ended, I'm now left wondering how many more upcoming episodes will continue what is now clearly the third story arc of this series (following Pinkie's Royal Jelly Juggernaut and Fluttershy's Trail Totters Troop).

As previously mentioned, the first part of the MLP/Transformers crossover comic miniseries came out last week, while the first part of the Season 10 MLP comic series is scheduled to release later this week.

Another Pony Life video has recently come up (and it has since turned out to to include content from today's new episodes).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/another-pony-life-teaser-arrives-with.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/another-pony-life-teaser-arrives-with.html)

And finally, this week's new Pony Life episodes.
Episodes 23 & 24: https://sendvid.com/9wwrbbgk (https://sendvid.com/9wwrbbgk)
Episodes 25 & 26: https://sendvid.com/ymxoawbr (https://sendvid.com/ymxoawbr)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Pinkie accidentally spills a potion on some cookies, and after she leaves for a moment, Twilight arrives after an argument with Owlowicious and eats one cookie and forces Applejack to eat another, resulting in them being sucked into the potion bottle. Pinkie returns and quickly figures out what happened, so she rushes over to Potion Nova for help rescuing them. Potion Nova quickly mixes up an antidote and pours it into the potion bottle, but while Applejack escapes, Twilight remains trapped inside. Potion Nova explains the only reason the antidote could fail is if Twilight wanted to stay inside the bottle, so Applejack eats another potion-tainted cookie to return to Twilight and convince her that she can't stay hidden away forever and should instead confront her issues. Twilight eventually accepts and the two of them successfully escape the potion bottle.

Second episode, Twilight is very eager to begin learning potion-making from Potion Nova, but is also very worried about potentially messing something up. She tries to hide her anxieties from Potion Nova, but fails miserably. Potion Nova assures Twilight to not worry too much, and suggests channeling her emotions into the potion-making, with surprisingly remarkable results.

Third episode, Pinkie finds herself alone at Sugarcube Corner, missing her friends who are all out doing other things. She's so bored and desperate for companionship that when she finds Twilight's duplicator device (seen before in an earlier episode a few weeks back), she comes up with the idea to combine a drawing of her friends, some cookies, and a potion, and forcing all of that through the duplicator, resulting in five cookies shaped and decorated just like the drawings. Pinkie wants those special cookies to stay with her and do all kinds of pretend activities, but astonishingly, the cookies come to life with a desire to go out and explore the world. Pinkie tries to resist at first, but eventually allows the living cookies to leave. Thankfully, Pinkie's real friends soon return, bringing an end to her loneliness.

Fourth episode, Pinkie wants to host a "tech conference" style meeting with potential investors for Sugarcube Corner. Her friends are concerned it might not work for her, but they allow her to make preparations. Once she's about to get out on stage, her nerves get the best of her, but her friends are there to support her, no matter what happens. She goes out and presents cupcakes as the latest thing worth investing in, but once her speech is over, she discovers there was literally no one in the audience, aside from a few of her friends.

The first pair of episodes seem to continue the Potion Nova arc, with Twilight freaking out about things, as usual. The second pair of episodes were more focused on Pinkie, but while I found the second of those to be just complete nonsense, I actually liked the one with the living cookies, purely for the humor behind it all. Overall, pretty much the usual mix of episodes we've come to expect from this show.

No new episodes of Pony Life this week, for some reason.

As for the comics, with the release of the first "Season 10" issue last week, we now know about what we can expect in several upcoming issues.
Spoiler: ShowHide
There will be four groups going out to faraway realms we've never seen before. First, we already know about Applejack's group (consisting of Rockhoof, Tempest Shadow, and Zecora) which will be going to Zecora's homeland. We don't yet know which order the remaining three groups will be done in, but they are as follows: Rainbow Dash's group (consisting of Spitfire, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Captain Celaeno) will be going to Celaeno's homeland, Rarity's group (consisting of Big Mac, Maud Pie, and Mage Meadowbrook) will be going to the homeland of the Diamond Dogs, and Pinkie's group (consisting of Fluttershy, Discord, Trixie and Capper) will be going to Capper's homeland. Just looking at that extensive list, it's clear this comic series is going to cover quite a lot of things.

Nothing new about the comics this week, and although there was a new video featuring Pony Life content, it was all from this week's new episodes, so I won't even bother linking to that.

And here's this week's new Pony Life episodes.
Episodes 27 & 28: https://sendvid.com/5wzoe14n (https://sendvid.com/5wzoe14n)
Episodes 29 & 30: https://sendvid.com/7e06e7z9 (https://sendvid.com/7e06e7z9)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Pinkie desperately tries to finish a huge order on time, but while most of her friends do everything they can to help, Rarity lazily spends her time doing things on her phone. As the others go through a mad scramble to complete the massive order, Rarity records a video of their antics, later sharing it only with her friends. But then Spike uploads that video online and they quickly become an internet viral sensation. However, the immense fame lasts for literally only one day.

Second episode, continuing right where the previous one left off, the main ponies are desperate to come up with another viral video that will make them famous again. Applejack disagrees with the whole concept and tries to convince them they could just hang out together without being so desperate for internet fame, but they completely ignore her as they try all kinds of ideas. Eventually, Applejack heads home on her own, and her friends finally understand what she was trying to tell them, so they follow her and agree to stop seeking internet fame, even after a freak accident could've been that next popular video.

Third episode, Rainbow Dash learns from Pinkie and Twilight about a new app that makes random sound effects and eagerly wants it on her phone too, only to discover she doesn't have enough storage space to download it. She has so many seemingly worthless apps that she refuses to give up, even despite Twilight's best efforts to analyze and determine which of those apps Rainbow uses the least and could most likely get rid of. Eventually, Rainbow gets so frustrated that she makes all kinds of weird noises as she lets out her anger, which Pinkie and Twilight find so funny that Rainbow realizes she doesn't need to download that sound effect app anyway.

Fourth episode, Fluttershy attempts to do an unboxing video for a new phone, but struggles to even get the box open. Her efforts end up scaring off Applejack and later Rainbow Dash, but then Rarity offers some simple advice on how to open that box, only for Angel Bunny to easily go through that process behind their backs.

So I guess all four of these episodes were all about various activities involving phones and tablets. Seems kind of strange that the first two episodes could've easily just been a single two-part episode, but was instead given different titles. I honestly don't get the desire for making a viral video, though I was amused by a brief joke in the second episode referencing the classic Nigerian scam email. I honestly don't understand why Rainbow Dash would absolutely refuse to get rid of some of her apps, such as those counters of a certain specific noise. (I mean, what's really the point of such a thing anyway?) As for the fourth episode, easily the real highlight was that Derpy got to make her first appearance in the series by delivering that package, even though her official name is still "Muffins". So yeah, aside from a few brief fun moments, not much else of interest in this week's episodes.

Here's a preview of the second part in the MLP/Transformers comic series, due to be released later this week.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/transformers-friendship-in-disguise-2.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/transformers-friendship-in-disguise-2.html)

According to some recent news, the upcoming movie (still scheduled for September next year) that'll introduce us to the G5 series has been confirmed to consist of a completely new cast of main ponies.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/new-cast-of-characters-confirmed-for.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/08/new-cast-of-characters-confirmed-for.html)

Finally, although there's once again been another YouTube video showing content from upcoming episodes of Pony Life, I've decided to stop linking to them and focus only on the episodes that have just recently premiered, so here's this week's new episodes.
Episodes 31 & 32: https://sendvid.com/hqj1dgau (https://sendvid.com/hqj1dgau)
Episodes 33 & 34: https://sendvid.com/364ybkcm (https://sendvid.com/364ybkcm)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, it's Pinkie's birthday, and Applejack is struggling to figure out what kind of gift to give her, who always seems to know exactly what gifts to give to her friends and seems to already have everything she could possibly ask for. Applejack eventually decides to use a potion to look into Pinkie's mind for answers, only to find almost nothing at all. She eventually decides to simply gift her an empty box, for which Pinkie fortunately understands the metaphor that she already has everything she could possibly want.

Second episode, Applejack has been feeling bored with ordinary life that seems to never change. She eventually ends up at a barbershop and decides to ask for "something different", and ends up with a wavy brown hairstyle. She immediately decides to show off her different look to her friends, only to find them all now with the exact same hairstyle after making the exact same request. Applejack is initially upset, but they all soon laugh it off.

Third episode, Spike wants to show off a new app he downloaded, but Twilight is too busy with organizing things, Applejack is struggling to figure out if she really wants to give away some of her old stuff, and Rainbow Dash is simply too bored. But right after Spike leaves, each of them hear a mysterious voice, telling Twilight to take a break, Applejack to go ahead and give away that old stuff, and Rainbow Dash to go out and do awesome things. The three of them soon come together in a series of incidents, and Spike reveals he was the one behind the mysterious voice by using that new app of his, all because he just wanted to spend some time with them.

Fourth episode, Fluttershy is concerned for a cocooned caterpillar that is overdue to emerge as a butterfly, and with her patience running low, she's desperate for advice on how to help it along. She ends up emulating the behavior and attitudes of each of her friends, first Pinkie, then Applejack, then Rarity, then Twilight, and then Rainbow, but none of it works. Eventually, the butterfly does emerge, and Fluttershy realizes that her own method of simple patience was all she really needed all along.

At this point, it seems there's no longer any significant story across multiple episodes, as had been the case earlier in the series. The first and second episodes seem rather pointless to me, though the second apparently started off reflecting my recent opinion of the series. Not to mention, the second episode ended with an obvious reference to the old sitcom "Friends". In the third episode, I totally figured out right from the start that the "mysterious voice" was just Spike messing around. And the fourth episode was mostly cringe humor of Fluttershy behaving like her friends, and as I've mentioned numerous times before, I really don't like that kind of humor. Among all four of these episodes, only the third one is enough that I would not consider forgettable.

Now, that's some music to my ears! If they were just going to rehash the Mane Six, I wasn't even going to watch the movie. There was no way they could improve on the adventures those characters already had. But a whole new group of ponies? THAT sounds interesting. (And besides, even if G5 turns out horrible, it's good to know that at least it won't be a spot on Twilight and Co.'s record!)

Aside from the release of that comic I mentioned last week, not much else of interest this week aside from today's new episodes of Pony Life.
Episodes 35 & 36: https://sendvid.com/ccw3j7uf (https://sendvid.com/ccw3j7uf)
Episodes 37 & 38: https://sendvid.com/6g3ddbrn (https://sendvid.com/6g3ddbrn)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, bad weather forces the six ponies to stay at Twilight's home, where she introduces them to a role playing board game she had created. However, the game rules are so extensive and complicated that the others are unable to have fun with it. When they try to change the rules to make the game more fun, Twilight become so upset and angry that she confesses she had used a machine to manipulate the weather to force her friends into playing her game, but since they won't play according to her rules, she just gives up and lets them all leave. But rather than go home, they instead reach a compromise by simplifying the rules so that it can actually be fun to play, and Twilight agrees to join in on playing her game with them.

Second episode, Spike has been taking a class in film-making, and has decided for his first assignment to make a documentary about everyday life at Sugarcube Corner. However, despite Spike's insistence to everyone to just behave as they normally would without a camera around, everyone behaves very awkwardly in various ways. Spike eventually declares that he gives up and leaves, but secretly leaves the camera recording without anyone being aware, allowing him to capture the authentic footage he was hoping for.

Third episode, on her way home to grab something to help Pinkie, Rarity comes across a visor cap, and goes into a full-on investigation to find out who lost it. After a lot of questioning around all of her friends, she eventually discovers the lost visor was actually hers all along.

Fourth episode, Applejack and Rarity have an argument over whether apples or cupcakes are a better snack, escalating to the point where they refuse to speak to each other. Despite her friends stating that she should apologize, Applejack insists that Rarity should apologize first, but the mutual avoidance endures to the point where Applejack decides to ask for advice from the blog of "ask Tabby". It takes a day for Applejack to receive a response, which turns out to be exactly the same as what all of her friends had been suggesting. Applejack goes to apologize to Rarity, to which Rarity returns with her own apology. Rarity then confesses that she was "Tabby" all along.

A few interesting observations in this week's episodes. In the first episode, Twilight's home is the treehouse version (supposedly blown up by a failed potion experiment in an earlier episode) rather than the castle version we've seen a few times, so I guess this means she has two different places to live. I thought it was rather clever of Spike to leave the camera running while the others didn't think it was on in order to really film them as just being themselves. Third episode saw not only the Pony Life version of "Detective Rarity" and her amusing noir behavior, but also a cameo of another FiM background character, in this case Vinyl Scratch/DJ Pon-3. And the fourth episode had a rather important friendship lesson that it's better to apologize first rather than wait for the other side to do so. Overall, I consider these to be among the better episodes of Pony Life.

First of all, a preview of the next comic to be released just over a week from now which will apparently explain how Zecora left her homeland and came to Equestria.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/three-page-preview-released-for-my.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/three-page-preview-released-for-my.html)

The latest video showing upcoming Pony Life content also apparently indicates that full episodes will soon become available on the MLP YouTube channel. According to rumors I've been hearing, Hasbro does not intend to renew their exclusive deal with Discovery Family, and as a result sees no point in premiering a new show on a channel that they intend on leaving soon. Therefore, audiences in the US will finally get to officially see full episodes of Pony Life on YouTube, which I suppose makes sense considering they're all only five minutes long. (Don't forget, the episodes I've been providing links for over the last few months were shown in Canada.)

Anyway, here's this week's new Pony Life episodes.
Episodes 39 & 40: https://sendvid.com/306f5sjt (https://sendvid.com/306f5sjt)
Episodes 41 & 42: https://sendvid.com/nonrbs7w (https://sendvid.com/nonrbs7w)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, Pinkie has created a new treat that is a combination of a cupcake, a donut, and a lollipop, which Twilight and Applejack enjoy trying. However, Pinkie gets upset when her brother Octavio Pie shows up and pretty much begins selling the exact same thing under a slightly different name. The two quickly get highly competitive, eventually reaching a point where Applejack and Twilight have to step in and remind the siblings that they don't have be against each other. The two Pies reconcile and agree to sell that new treat together.

Second episode, the main six ponies set out to help Snips and Snails properly prepare for an upcoming gala in order to prevent a repeat of last year's disaster. By the time the gala arrives, those two are so unsure of themselves that the main six realize they tried too hard to make those two into something they are not, so they allow the two goofballs to let loose and just be themselves.

Third episode, Rarity is thrilled about being given a role in a popular TV show, but once she and her friends watch the episode, she is devastated to discover that her appearance was completely cut out. Her friends soon cheer her up by reenacting that scene she had been hoping to be part of.

Fourth episode, the main ponies arrive at the Sportacular Spectacular, and Rainbow Dash is thrilled to try out many of the events. However, an unfortunate accident injures her wing and hoof and leaves her unable to compete, so she asks Fluttershy to take her place in those events by using a potion to make her appear similar to Rainbow. But while Fluttershy resembles Rainbow Dash, Rainbow's unspecific advice causes Fluttershy to essentially freeze up and do absolutely nothing out on the field. Rainbow eventually realizes that she can't expect Fluttershy to compete like her, so she instead allows Fluttershy to just be herself, which she decides to utilize her giant form.

I find it interesting to note that those who are familiar with the earliest years of the FiM fandom might recognize the reference behind the name "Octavio Pie", though I'm not exactly okay with how Twilight ended up being fat for much of the episode. Similarly I just don't understand why the main ponies actually bothered to go through all that effort to help Snips and Snails prepare for the gala. As for why Rarity's part in that show was cut out, my best speculation is that she was simply acting way to overly dramatic. And based on the preview videos of upcoming episodes, it looks like the next few episodes will feature more events at the "Sportacular Spectacular". All in all, just another mixed bag of episodes this week.

First off, something out of Russia seems to reveal that not only will there be a second season of Pony Life next spring to fill the final gap ahead of the G5 movie next year, but also there will be a G5 "44-minute special" the following spring in 2022, and later that year will finally be the start of season one of the G5 series.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/pony-life-gets-second-season-in-spring.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/pony-life-gets-second-season-in-spring.html)

For the comics, not only is issue 90 coming out later this week (as I mentioned last week), but we also just got some info on issue 93.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/scootaloos-aunts-get-focus-in-my-little.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/09/scootaloos-aunts-get-focus-in-my-little.html)

Finally, for Pony Life, it seems this week's new episodes are the final ones for Season One. Also, these episodes apparently had already premiered in Britain earlier last week (but honestly, at this point, who even bothers to keep track of these things? ::) ).
Episodes 43 & 44: https://sendvid.com/8amhb0f5 (https://sendvid.com/8amhb0f5)
Episodes 45 & 46: https://sendvid.com/h5hqizdl (https://sendvid.com/h5hqizdl)
(If the episode numbers I've been using confuse you, remember that the first six episodes were two-parters, so if I counted them separately, there would be a total of 52 five-minute episodes, which means there's enough content for 13 half-hour shows, the same number as half a season of FiM had, so I think it does make sense that this week's episodes are indeed the last ones for Pony Life Season 1.)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First episode, while most of the main six ponies are training to compete in the upcoming sportactular spectacular events, Rarity admits she has not signed up for anything. Her friends try to convince her to try something, but there's absolutely nothing that interests her. Eventually, she comes up with the idea to utilize her talents of sweet-talking to commentate on the events as a co-anchor for the TV broadcast.

Second episode, the main six ponies are excited to be competing together for the team events, but are devastated when they are told they will be randomly placed on different teams with a "count off". Despite their best effort to ensure they end up on the same team, they still end up separated, with Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie on one team, and Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity on the other team.

Third episode, continuing right from the previous episode, the two teams compete in a series of events, from buckball to a race around the track to a series of one-on-one duels. The six friends aren't happy about being placed on different teams, but they still compete at their best effort, and even at the final event they are still capable of caring for each other, which inspires Bulk Biceps to declare a tie to make them all feel like winners.

Fourth episode, it's the day of the closing ceremony of the sportacular spectacular, but Bulk Biceps was so inspired by the friendship of the main six that he decides to patch things up with an old rival of his, and as a result completely abandons his carefully planned closing ceremony and leaves the main six to figure out an entirely new ceremony on their own on the spot. They soon manage to improvise a song about friendship, at times calling out specific events and characters from throughout all the previous episodes.

Compared to most Pony Life episodes, I'd say this final bunch (continuing the "sport-tacular" arc started with the last of last week's episodes) was relatively good. I'm actually glad Rarity didn't bother actually trying any of those events she was uncomfortable with as I'm sure it would have inevitably led to some cringe humor (which I absolutely hate). Kind of interesting that the second and third episodes were like a two-part episode, complete with a reasonable moral lesson. And the final episode certainly offered a nice send-off with a song (the only one in the entire series thus far) and cameos of just about every character to have made appearances throughout the entire season, not to mention seeing the series of flashbacks to all those previous episodes. As much as I'm not particularly fond of Pony Life, I have to admit that it's first season was given a rather decent finale.

So with Season 1 of Pony Life over, no more writing reviews of new episodes, so that saves me a significant amount of time.

For the comics, apparently issue 90 was actually due to be released this week rather than last week, but at least the recent extended preview is a good sign that it will be coming out soon.

In addition, Part 3 of the MLP/Transformers comic miniseries was just revealed, and it seems Fluttershy (with Discord) and Rainbow Dash will be featured.

I guess with no new episodes every week, I tend to forget to provide new info in this topic regularly, even though there's not much to mention these days anyway.

Aside from Part 3 of the MLP/Transformers comic releasing earlier this week, it looks like Pony Life will premiere on Discover Family, though with no specific date yet and considering just how long we've already had to wait, I'm not feeling optimistic. We also got a little bit of new information regarding what we can expect to see in the upcoming G5 series:

Oh, and lets not forget that today marks the ten year anniversary of when Friendship is Magic first premiered.

First off, Pony Life finally got a premiere date on Discovery Family for Saturday, November 7. (Of course, if you've been watching the video links I've provided over the last few months, it's probably rather pointless by now.)
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/pony-life-heading-to-discovery-family.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/pony-life-heading-to-discovery-family.html)

Also, if anyone is interested in watching the Equestria Girls Rainbow Rocks movie from 2014, the entire movie is now available to watch on a single video on Hasbro's official YouTube channel (let's hope this indicates we'll soon see more full content become officially available like this).

Some news regarding the comics. First, a short preview of the upcoming issue 91 (though it seems the three pages somehow got arranged backwards in this link, so you'll have to start at the bottom and end at the top):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/itunes-preview-for-friendship-is-magic.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/itunes-preview-for-friendship-is-magic.html)

And issue 94 was just announced, featuring Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich (and if you recall some of the future scenes shown in the final episode, I think you can figure out where this one will be going):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/season-10-comic-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/10/season-10-comic-my-little-pony.html)

Last week was a three page preview of Part 4 of the MLP/Transformers comic miniseries:

That comic was just released, so now that story arc is complete.

Not much else to mention, other than the first episodes of Pony Life will finally start showing on Discovery Family this Saturday.

Well, if you must know...
Spoiler: ShowHide
Aside from the Main 6 and Spike, the only FiM characters to have appeared are Celestia in a few episodes, all of the Main 6's pets (but mostly Gummy) in some episodes, the Cutie Mark Crusaders in two or three episodes, same for Bulk Biceps, and Discord and Trixie were each featured in only one episode. No appearances of Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, or even Luna. Of course, that might change once we eventually see Season 2 next spring.

Even though Discovery Family is continuing to show "new" episodes of Pony Life every Saturday, I'm not bothering to watch or comment on them, as I've already done that back in the summer during the Canadian premieres.

As for the comics, issue 91 (part 3 of the 4-part story arc featuring Zecora) was released earlier this week, and issue 95 was recently announced, which will apparently be a continuation of 94's story featuring Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/11/my-little-pony-season-10-comic-95.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/11/my-little-pony-season-10-comic-95.html)

At lot of news regarding the comics was announced yesterday. But first, the one piece I apparently forgot to mention earlier this month was the three page preview of issue 92, the fourth and final part of the story arc for Zecora's group (still no word yet on when it'll actually release).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/itunes-my-little-pony-friendship-is.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/itunes-my-little-pony-friendship-is.html)

Now to start off the most recent news, there's also a three page preview of issue 93, featuring Scootaloo.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/3-page-itunes-preview-for-my-little.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/3-page-itunes-preview-for-my-little.html)

Next up, the announcement of issue 96, expected to be out in March, in which the group consisting of Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Trixie, Discord, and Capper visit Capper's homeland of Abyssinia.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/my-little-pony-comic-96-revealed-for.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/my-little-pony-comic-96-revealed-for.html)

Finally, the annual issue, also expected to be out in March, in which the group consisting of Rarity, Meadowbrook, Maud Pie, and Big Mac visit the homeland of the Diamond Dogs.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/2021-annual-my-little-pony-comic-brings.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/12/2021-annual-my-little-pony-comic-brings.html)

So to recap from the start of "Season 10", four groups were sent out to spread friendship beyond Equestria; Applejack's group to the Zebra homeland, Fluttershy and Pinkie's group to Capper's homeland, Rarity's group to the Diamond Dog homeland, and Rainbow Dash's group to the homeland of the parrot pirates. Of those four, the first is almost complete, the second and third have just been announced, and it seems we must wait more to find out about that fourth and final group.

Issue 97 was announced, continuing the group in Abyssinia.

Also in the comics, there will be a sequel to last year's Transformers crossover miniseries. Last time had the Tranformers in the pony world, so this time will have the ponies in the Transformers world. Expect to see this new miniseries released in April.

Finally, according to some new toy lines being revealed lately, there are rumors that Equestria Girls could soon be going the way of Pony Life. Nothing official has been announced yet, but definitely something to keep an eye out for.

Hmm, I didn't know about that. Considering that very, very few people like Pony Life, I'm surprised Hasbro would think it's a good idea to take something else in that direction. Then again, the way these companies make the most random decisions sometimes has always been a mystery to me, so who knows? Either way, I'm still waiting for the official G5 to get here before I get involved in anything pony again. This Pony Life filler isn't doing anything for me.

It seems we've recently gotten our very first hint of what we can expect to see in the new My Little Pony movie coming out later this year:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/01/kidscreen-article-reveals-new-movie.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/01/kidscreen-article-reveals-new-movie.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
If this is accurate, then the way I see it, it seems the transition from G4 to G5 will be much like how Star Trek had transitioned from the Original Series to the Next Generation, specifically that it's still the same universe but in a later era with a completely different cast of characters (along with occasional references to the earlier series).
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on February 12, 2021, 08:30:09 PM
It seems that on February 25, we will finally get some significant news regarding the upcoming movie. But for now, there is something else about the movie worth reporting. When it eventually releases (probably next September as originally planned), it will not be showing in theaters, but instead will be available to stream on Netflix.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/02/the-second-my-little-pony-movie-will-be.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/02/the-second-my-little-pony-movie-will-be.html)

Personally, I'm actually quite pleased by this news, because it'll make it far easier for me to possibly see this movie once it comes out. (I'm still reluctant about sharing my interest in MLP with almost anyone in my family, so it's much more preferable for me to watch it at home when no one is around rather than having to go out to the movies and can only hope for minimal disturbances. Not to mention, I hardly ever go to movie theaters anyway since I like having the ability to pause and rewind whatever I'm watching, which can be done with home streaming but not out in a public theater.)

Oh, and apparently last Saturday was the American airing of the Pony Life season 1 finale, so at least now that show is currently all caught up.

Today's the big day, and here's our very first official announcement of what to expect for the upcoming My Little Pony movie that will launch the G5 series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/02/my-little-pony-generation-5-netflix.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/02/my-little-pony-generation-5-netflix.html)

For me, this first impression is something I'm just simply okay with. I'm not thrilled by it, but I also don't hate it. Pretty much, I'll just continue to suppress my expectations until I eventually get to actually watch the movie, once it finally releases. (Though I will admit the story concept does have my interest.)

In other news, among the comics, issue 95 released last week, and recently announced was issue 98 (some attention will be given to post-retirement Celestia and Luna), as well as Part 2 of the second MLP/Transformers crossover miniseries:

Guess the Gen4 crew didn't succeed at uniting everyone, the 3 races ended up splitting into their own segregated colonies anyway.

I honestly prefer the clean 3D look to the ultra-stylized Pony Life look, and I'll probably watch the movie when it hits Netflix. These are interesting choices, setting it in a prejudiced future and treating the original characters as mythological figures. They definitely weren't required to go that hard, suggesting they have plans or intention to do more than a simple toy grab.

Just recently announced, Season 2 of Pony Life will premiere in Britain on April 2:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/my-little-pony-pony-life-season-2-to.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/my-little-pony-pony-life-season-2-to.html)

I've been hearing that the contract between Hasbro and Discovery Family is due to expire sometime later this year, so it's possible we might not see Season 2 of Pony Life premiere here in the US, so no point in calling this an early showing, as much as it might be the only showing (except perhaps for Canada, which was first to show Season 1 last year).

Anyway, even though I'll be watching each episode only once like I did with Season 1, the description seems to suggest Season 2 might be a little more interesting. My speculation:
Spoiler: ShowHide
Considering all the Pony Life style Equestria Girls products I've seen lately in addition to the description suggesting the Pony Life main cast will be doing things like time travel and visiting an alternate dimension, it seems that my earlier assumption that we would have a Pony Life style Equestria Girls miniseries will probably actually be a story arc within Season 2 of Pony Life. Either way, I sure hope this means we'll finally get to see Sunset Shimmer make an appearance.

Some more recent news, it seems my speculation regarding Season 2 of Pony Life might be incorrect, as we got a first look as some of the new characters:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/mlp-pony-life-season-2-introduces-wild.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/mlp-pony-life-season-2-introduces-wild.html)

In addition, the writer for Equestria Girls revealed what had been the original plan for a one-hour special that would have been the finale for Season 2 and led to a Season 3 (obviously, it was cancelled and replaced by those holiday shorts to serve as a more appropriate series finale). Really, all I have to say for this one is that it's something I'm sure everyone would consider to be very interesting to see:

Post by: The Chronicler on March 25, 2021, 07:30:30 PM
Okay, quite a lot of news to catch up on...

For the comics, issue 99 (episode 11 of season 10) and part 3 of the transformers crossover were recently announced:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/my-little-pony-friendships-is-magic.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/my-little-pony-friendships-is-magic.html)

And for Pony Life, Season 2 will premiere in the US on April 10, and there will be only 14 episodes instead of 26 like Season 1 had (these links also had preview videos, but it looks like they've all been taken down):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/new-trailer-for-pony-life-season-2.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/new-trailer-for-pony-life-season-2.html)

As much as I'd rather watch these Pony Life episodes only once, I think I'll end up with no choice but to watch the British airing first (to avoid the risk of spoilers), and then later the American airing (when I will post my reviews here). And since EqD has done a rather poor job of following the American showing of Season 1, I'll honestly be upset if the British version (with its slightly higher audio pitch due to broadcasting differences) is the only one that anyone bothers to record.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on March 27, 2021, 09:40:10 PM
More news regarding Pony Life. Looks like Canada will be showing it just like they did with Season 1 last year (and from the message EqD seems to be implying, it looks like that'll end up being my preferred version to watch, also just like last year with Season 1).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/pony-life-season-2-also-premiering-in.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/03/pony-life-season-2-also-premiering-in.html)

We also got episode synopses for a total of nine pairs of episodes. If Season 2 will be anything like Season 1, each actual episode will be only five minutes long, and each of these pairs are listed as single 11-minute episodes, which means we now know about 9 out of the total 14 episodes already:

Finally, even though the American premiere of first episode of Season 2 of Pony Life was today, it seems EqD has really dropped the ball on announcements, with stream topics of only the British showing of just the first (last Friday) and fourth (Wednesday earlier this week) episodes, along with the warning that the entire first half has leaked, but no mention at all of the Canadian or American showing of the first episode. As a result, I've been unable to find any videos of that episode I can watch, so I can't share my thoughts on it today as I had hope to. In my search efforts, I did see all 26 episodes of Season 1 of Pony Life are currently available on Dailymotion, so that at least gives me hope that, sooner or later (though preferably sooner), someone will eventually upload videos of these new episodes.

For comics, issue 96 came out earlier this week (the following link has an extended preview):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-main-comic-96-extended.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-main-comic-96-extended.html)
There's also a preview of the first part of the upcoming second Transformers crossover series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-ponytransformers-ii-1-magic.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-ponytransformers-ii-1-magic.html)

For the G5 movie, the main cast has officially been confirmed to consist of the five characters we already know by name by now:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/generation-5-my-little-pony-will-be.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/generation-5-my-little-pony-will-be.html)

And as for Pony Life, since it's obvious that I can't expect to find any videos of the recent episodes regardless of where they are shown, I've decided on two ways for me to actually watch these episodes. One is to watch the livestream on Saturday morning (thanks to a link I was able to find recently), where I had a chance to watch last week's episodes before this week's premiere. The other is to record them off Discovery Family (which I'm fortunate to have access to through Philo), so I can watch them later in case if I miss the stream. Of course, this still means there's no videos for me to provide links for, so if you're interested in watching these episodes, I'm afraid you'll just have to figure it out on your own.

Although it's been confirmed there will be a total of 14 "episodes", they each consist of two five-minute episodes, so I'll count them as a total of 28 episodes. Of course, since I missed last week's episodes, that leaves me with a total of eight episodes to share my thoughts on, and to be honest, I'll need to rewatch them one at a time to make sure I've got them all accounted for in the correct order, so please wait a few hours and I'll edit this post later tonight to include my summaries and comments on these episodes.

Last week's episodes...
Spoiler: ShowHide
1: On the might of a new moon celebration, Twilight is doing astronomical observation when she notices a new pink object in the night sky that appears to be heading directly towards Ponyville. Worried about the possibility of impending doom, she completely ignores her friends and goes to the library to do as much research as possible. Her friends try to sneakily find out what she's up to, but their efforts are unsuccessful. Their attempts at eavesdropping eventually drive Twilight to confess her worries and apologizes for not telling them anything. She agrees to let them help her with the research, and they soon discover that the mysterious object is the return of the "Cosmic Cotton Candy Comet", which is expected to be a spectacular rare event to witness.

Despite the silly concept, astronomy observations always interest me. I guess the fact that Twilight's friends didn't join her offer to observe the night sky with her might have been what initially convinced her they wouldn't understand her research efforts, despite her paranoia.

2: Fluttershy has become interested in becoming a news reporter, and believes the incoming Cosmic Cotton Candy Comet would be an excellent opportunity to get some experience with giving interviews. Unfortunately, most of her friends seem practically indifferent to the event, ultimately going to Pinkie Pie, who is busy preparing a machine to collect the cosmic candy crystals that pass by ahead of the comet. The arrival of those crystals forces Pinkie to leave immediately for the top of a mountain, but is unable to retrieve those crystals. Realizing she can't do it alone, she returns to Fluttershy and they both apologize for ignoring each other. They quickly agree to work together, with Fluttershy using her ability to grow big to allow Pinkie to reach high enough to gather a huge quantity of those cosmic candy crystals.

I honestly don't understand why Fluttershy didn't just follow after Pinkie in the first place, as it would have given Fluttershy the opportunity for some amazing footage, and thus make it easier for her and Pinkie to decide to work together to gather those crystals.

3: Rarity is preparing a viewing party for the arrival of the Cosmic Cotton Candy Comet, but it all depends on being timed for the exact moment of that comet's arrival, so she asks Twilight to calculate it. The party is all set to begin at the anticipated moment, but the comet doesn't show up. Twilight realizes she miscalculated and sets a new time the following night, but again it doesn't show up, and several more attempts to calculate also end in failure, with fewer and fewer guests showing up each time. Rarity eventually apologizes for pressuring Twilight into trying to predict the comet's arrival, and unwittingly makes Twilight realize the comet obeys not the laws of physics but the laws of magic, allowing her to finally calculate the true arrival time of that comet.

I don't really have much to say about this one, though it was interesting to note that in these pony worlds, there are natural laws of magic in addition to physics.

4: With preparations underway for the arrival of the Cosmic Cotton Candy Comet, Rainbow Dash decides to sell some comet merchandise and use the money earned to buy Pinkie a new mixer. Rainbow doesn't have much success at first, but Twilight finds some special glasses online that would provide a full spectrum view of the comet as it passes by. Unfortunately, the entire inventory of those glasses suddenly gets sold out before Rainbow has a chance to acquire any. The following day, she and her friends discover her old nemesis Dishwater Slog had bought those glasses, and even worse, was proudly asking for ten time their original cost, making those glasses way too expensive for anyone to obtain them. Thankfully, Applejack is able to find similar glasses that her family had held onto since the last time that comet visited, allowing everyone to have a free view through those special glasses.

Once again, Dishwater Slog proves himself proud of being the worst by deliberately trying to ruin everyone's fun just because he can. That guy deserves no respect at all, I'll tell you that much. Good thing the Apple family are the kind of ponies who never throw away anything, as it provided quite the convenient solution to a once in a lifetime event.


This week's episodes...
Spoiler: ShowHide
5: While Pinkie shares with her friends some cupcakes she had baked with the cosmic candy crystals she had gathered earlier, a strange giant balloon object suddenly appears over Ponyville, and the Main 6 are all terrified of what it could mean, especially with the evidence there's something inside it. They all share fantasies of what they each believe it could be, except for Fluttershy who convinces her friends to relax and not be afraid of the mystery. Soon, strange large bubbles begin floating all over town, leading Twilight to speculate the mysterious balloon is probably related to that comet that had passed by recently.

So now it seems this show is taking on the UFO theme for this set of episodes. This should be interesting to see how it will ultimately unfold.

6: Pinkie is experimenting with a new kind of cupcake, but it must be enjoyed at an exact moment, and with everyone else running late, Rarity is the only one around to try one. The super sugary cupcake overwhelms her, but she lies and claims it's excellent. The others soon arrive and they all apologize for being late, each with their own excuse. Applejack decides to give Pinkie one of the mysterious bubbles as an apology gift, which then bursts to reveal a tiara. That tiara gets passed around and they quickly realize that whoever wears it is forced to tell the truth, causing the late ponies to reveal the true reasons they were late (except Applejack who really did tell the truth), and Rarity ends up revealing how terrible those new cupcakes actually are, upsetting Pinkie. The others soon apologize to Pinkie, with Rarity admitting she lied to spare Pinkie's feelings. Pinkie accepts the apologies and tones down the sugar on her new cupcakes before serving them to her friends, which they all enjoy.

I definitely like the concept of a magical object that compels the holder to always tell the truth (kind of wish we could have seen something like it back in the FiM series). And of course, there was that visual gag of Gummy of tasting those super-sugar cupcakes and reacting as if it was a highly addictive drug.

7: Applejack finds another mysterious bubble which bursts to reveal a small potted plant with a cute face on it. She instantly finds it adorable, and despite concerns from her friends and Big Mac, she decides to care for it. When she accidentally feeds it apple jam, that plant quickly grows into a monster that devours every apple it can grab. Applejack apologizes to her friends for not heeding their advice and asks them to help her stop that plant monster. She suddenly remembers that giving water to that plant made it shrink, so the ponies work together to trick the plant monster into consuming a bunch of water balloons disguised as apples, causing the plant to shrink back down to its original cute size.

If I'm not mistaken, this episode had the first appearance of Big Mac in the Pony Life series, so it's nice to see some more familiar characters show up.

8: Another mysterious bubble lands outside Sugarcube Corner and bursts to reveal a bubble wand. After previous experiences, the ponies are cautions about what to with it, but Spike suddenly runs off with it and starts having endless fun with it. The bubbles produced by that bubble wand are incapable of bursting, so Rainbow Dash encourages Spike to try blowing the biggest bubble possible. Unfortunately, the six ponies end up trapped inside that bubble and soon begin floating away. All of their attempts to escape the bubble with their various magical abilities end in failure and they get increasingly worried. Soon, Spike (communicating via a tablet carried up to them by Tank the flying tortoise) suggests they should try simply calming down to make the bubble sink back down, using a video of baby chicks to successfully make them all relax. The bubble drifts back down and bursts, freeing them all, but with concerns over further trouble, they take the bubble wand away from Spike.

I have to admit, I'm starting to get impressed with the level of continuity between these episodes this season. Even though I'm still uninterested in watching episodes of this series more than once, I'm certainly looking forward to what will be coming up next.

Almost forgot to do this week's updates post. Anyway, for the comics, the synopsis was recently released for the fourth and final part of the second Transformers crossover miniseries, as well as for issue 100 of the main comic series (also known as episode 12 of season 10):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-transformers-magic-of.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-transformers-magic-of.html)
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-100.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-100.html)

As for Pony Life, it seems once again EqD has virtually forgotten about it, which makes the link I found last week to the only stream site that actually works on my computer all the more fortunate (not to mention, maintaining my backup plan of recording from Discovery Family in case if I ever miss the livestream). Anyway, I saw this week's new episodes, so here are my summaries and comments:

Spoiler: ShowHide
9: After sharing a happy moment together, the six ponies decide to make a time capsule, so they all return home to select an item. The next day, Applejack brings one of her hats, Rainbow Dash brings a trophy she got at the Sportacular Spectacular, Twilight brings her favorite calculator, Rarity brings a script from that popular TV show she had once made an appearance in, and Pinkie Pie brings a mixing bowl she had used during the Royal Jelly Juggernaut baking competition. Fluttershy, however, was unable to chose anything, but with some encouragement from her friends, she finally decides on the photo they had taken of that happy moment earlier in the episode. They place their items inside a trunk and bury it, but just as they start walking away, a magical glow leads to Pinkie admitting she got that trunk from one of the mysterious bubbles seen in the most recent episodes. That magical trunk ends up opening a vortex that sucks in the six ponies.

The concept of a time capsule is often an interesting way to share memories (which makes me realize it was never attempted in the FiM series, so that could've been a missed opportunity). And with this episode starting off another arc with that vortex through space and time, this series is started to get very interesting to me. Also, we got to briefly see where each of the six ponies live (and I believe it's a first for Rainbow Dash in particular).

10: Applejack and Rarity land in a frontier town, which Applejack immediately recognizes as the past. When one of the locals points out Applejack's hat is missing, the two friends realize that the key to returning to their time period is to recover that hat that had been placed inside the time capsule. They soon find out it ended up in the possession of a guy named Saddle Bags, who challenges Applejack to prove herself as a real cowpony. Applejack is thrilled to be in a town full of cowponies, but her talents are proven to be amateurish compared to all the locals. Rarity soon comes up with the idea to combine her acting talents with Applejack's cowpony attitude to convince Saddle Bags they are worthy of that glowing hat. He proudly gives them the hat, and the two friends are immediately pulled through another vortex.

So this episode confirms that these vortexes result in time travel, which I'm always fascinated with. I also found it rather amusing how Applejack always portrays herself as a cowpony, yet once she was placed in a town full of actual cowponies, she suddenly finds herself way out of her league. (Believe me, I can actually sympathize with that kind of feeling, thinking that I'm excellent at something, only to be swiftly overwhelmed by the true professionals.)

11: Twilight and Rainbow Dash land in a futuristic city, where they find Fluttershy wearing some headgear as she is taken away by some robotic ponies. The two friends try to go after her, but then try to flee from two other robot ponies, only for those robot ponies to follow them and then greet them as friends, introducing themselves as mecha-ponies named Natalie and Pulverizer. The mecha-ponies agree to help them find Fluttershy, but Rainbow Dash remains highly skeptical. They soon arrive at a large floating cube, which upon entering turns out to be a futuristic version of Sugar Cube Corner, where they find Fluttershy who has been busy playing a VR game all along. Rainbow Dash apologizes to the mecha-ponies for being unfairly judgemental, and they in return offer to let them play a different game, which turns out to be Twilight's calculator. Rainbow politely asks the mecha-ponies to let them have the calculator back and they accept, allowing the three friends to open another vortex that they then jump into.

I'm always interested in futuristic settings, and the robotic mecha-ponies were also something I found neat. I actually kind of wish we could have some more episodes based around this futuristic Ponyville.

12: Pinkie Pie is joined by the rest of her friends through the vortex and they soon land in what appears to be their proper time period. However, they soon discover the world around them has become very different from what they're familiar with. Sugar Cube Corner is replaced with a healthy food restaurant named Salad Bowl Junction, everyone talks on banana phones, there are statues of Discord everywhere, and there's even an alternate group of themselves (except with the colors swapped between Twilight and Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Applejack, and Rarity and Fluttershy). They eventually enter the salad restaurant, where they meet Lightning Chill the tiger, Echo the bat, and Sugar Snap the peacock. The three "Wildsiders" (as Rarity decided to call them) encourage the six ponies to try their salads. They enjoy their salads, though Pinkie is reluctant to try hers until she realizes hers is within her mixing bowl, and it is upon finally trying that salad (and actually liking it) that another vortex opens up and pulls the six ponies through. The six ponies are then flung out back in their correct time and place and prepare to celebrate, only for another vortex to suddenly bring the three Wildsiders into their world.

So now after two time travel episodes, we next get to see an alternate universe. In have to say, this week's group of episodes have definitely become my favorite set of Pony Life episodes in the entire series thus far. Of course, only half of the items from the magical time capsule have been accounted for, which leaves me wondering about the other three (Rainbow Dash's trophy, Rarity's script, and Fluttershy's photo). Not to mention, with the three Wildsiders now in the regular universe, next week's episodes could be very interesting to see.

In this week's updates, the annual comic (featuring the Season 10 arc of Rarity's group visiting the Diamond Dog lands) and the first part of the second Transformers crossover comic series have been released.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-transformers-magic-of_0273233423.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/my-little-pony-transformers-magic-of_0273233423.html)

Also, a preview of issue 98 of the main comic series has been revealed, which seems to indicate there will be some interesting backstory for Celestia and Luna in this one:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/three-page-preview-released-for-my.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/04/three-page-preview-released-for-my.html)

Finally, my comments on this week's episodes of Pony Life:

Spoiler: ShowHide
13: Now that the three "Wildsiders" (Lightning Chill, Echo, and Sugar Snap) have ended up in the regular pony world, they're interested in seeing what life in that world is like, so the six ponies offer to give them a tour of everywhere in Ponyville. However, in an effort to appeal to their "wild lifestyle", they end up rushing through the whole tour so much that the Wildsiders never get an opportunity to enjoy anything. It's only when they're completely exhausted that the ponies finally realize their error and apologize, so they instead agree to enjoy some regular life with a board game.

I found it kind of ridiculous that all six of the main ponies decided to do their tour on an extreme time crunch that I'd expect from someone like Twilight, especially how they were just always on the move and never giving the interdimensional visitors a chance to stop and appreciate literally anything. In spite of how quickly everything rushed by, it was nice to see a few callbacks to some Season 1 episodes (such as the Potion Ocean, the Royal Jelly Juggernaut studio, and the Sportacular Spectacular staduim).

14: Pinkie Pie is excited to let Lightning Chill join in on her baking in hopes they can both learn from each other. Lightning Chill, after using a magic spell to swiftly clean up the whole place, is instructed by Pinkie to observe her actions. However, Pinkie's struggles with working alone become quickly obvious, and despite several moments of Lightning offering to help and Pinkie apologizing for not letting her be involved, Pinkie continues to try everything herself, eventually resulting in the kitchen becoming flooded with chocolate. After one final apology from Pinkie and another quick clean spell from Lightning, the two of them finally start baking together for real, with much better results.

All I can really say for this one is just how ridiculous it is that Lightning Chill kept offering to help and Pinkie kept apologizing for leaving her out of the baking process, and yet Pinkie continued to keep up her solo actions. Old habits die hard, I suppose.

15: Rarity is preparing for the 100th episode of her livestream series, where she plans to perform a play. When she shares word of this with her friends, Sugar Snap reveals she's familiar with that play and accepts Rarity's offer to help her rehearse. At first, Rarity tries to perform the whole play by herself, but keeps forgetting her lines and needs reminders from Sugar Snap. When the time comes for the episode to begin and all of her friends are there to see it, she invites Sugar Snap to help perform the play alongside her.

I don't have much to say on this one. At least Rarity wasn't stubborn enough to reject Sugar Snap when she offered to help improve the performance. Not mention, Echo seems to take quite a beating when it comes to trying Pinkie's new recipes.

16: Rainbow Dash is practicing her breakdancing moves, but when Twilight encourages her to try the "dash-master", Rainbow flies around uncontrollably and ends up landing right next to a new vortex that suddenly opened up. That vortex immediately begins to pull Rainbow in, and Twilight with help from Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Echo are unable to do anything more than prevent her from being pulled in any further. Presented with a scientific dilemma, Twilight struggles to come up with a solution, and her guilt at practically causing the incident only stresses her out even more. When Applejack and Pinkie Pie try to calm her down by offering her an apple pie, Twilight is suddenly inspired with the solution. She quickly assembles a device that not only shrinks the vortex enough to stop pulling in Rainbow Dash, but also transports it to a doorway so that anyone can freely travel between the regular pony world and the wildsider world.

I'll admit it was a little amusing how the vortex gradually effected Rainbow Dash like a black hole by slowing down her voice and stretching out her body. Though I did find it a little ridiculous how Twilight spent a long time try to solve a scientific problem while the others were forced to perpetually keep yanking Rainbow Dash away from the vortex, it's good that the incident resulted in a stable portal that can now allow anyone to freely travel between the two dimensions (kind of like the portal used in Equestria Girls).


Just passed the halfway point in the season. Only three more weeks of episodes left to go.

Nothing new regarding the official comics this week.

For Pony Life, the livestream apparently wasn't on this week. Thank goodness I'm still recording these new episodes, so I can watch them at any time I'm comfortable with.

Spoiler: ShowHide
17: Everyone has gathered for the grand opening of the Crystal Empire Carnival, but Rarity is running late and misses out while her friends meet with Cadance and have their manes styled into spectacular styles. By the time Rarity finally arrives, she quickly feels left out and the stylist booth has closed, so in an effort to help her feel better, the others try to stylize her mane to fit in with them, but it results in a complete disaster. Applejack quickly comes up with the idea to help Rarity feel like she belongs by everyone messing up their own manes as well, and even Cadance decides to join in on the effort.

Okay, so it seems we're now starting off on a completely new story arc with no references to anything earlier this season. At least this one officially introduced Princess Cadance to the Pony Life series (which means the only alicorn princess yet to have any appearances in Pony Life thus far is Luna, surprisingly enough).

18: The six ponies all want to do a lot of different things at the carnival, but since they can't agree on what to do together, they decide to split up and keep in touch with a group text. They all enjoy their respective activities, but as soon as Pinkie decides to check with the others, it leads to misunderstandings of the messages behind each text and they all end up feeling depressed as they unknowingly ride the ferris wheel all at the same time. Once they realize they're actually all in the same place again, the misunderstandings are eventually cleared up and they agree to stick together for their next activities.

It's amazing how a simple vague text message (especially lacking any emojis) can lead to a lot of confusion and cause everyone to get all worked up over what was really just nothing bad all along. (And this is why I always take care to think about what I type or text before I ever send any messages.)

19: Flim and Flam are selling clown makeup kits, and Fluttershy is excited to finally have a chance to live out her childhood dream of being a clown, but when she shares it with her friends, Applejack suddenly runs off. While Fluttershy prepares for an upcoming show, the others confront Applejack, who reveals she is terrified of clowns. Their efforts to help her get over her fear end in failure, so she decides to simply not stay and watch, but when the others tell Fluttershy, she decides to not perform so she won't be concerned about scaring one of her friends. Applejack receives word of Fluttershy's decision and refuses to let her friend give up on a lifelong dream just because of her fears, and soon manages to overcome her fear by encouraging Fluttershy from the sidelines.

Sure wasn't expecting Flim and Flam to make an appearance in Pony Life, and especially that their latest scheme doesn't seem to result in any downfall for them for once. I also found it interesting that of all the ponies you might've expected to be afraid of clowns (let's face it, Fluttershy is well known for fearing lots of things), it turns out to be the one who is actually excited to be a clown, and it's actually one of the most grounded ponies who turns out to have that fear.

20: It's the final day of the Crystal Empire Carnival, and the main ponies have done everything except watch the circus performance, but on their way there, they come across an old fortune telling machine, and while most of them are amused by the fortune messages they receive, Rainbow Dash becomes terrified that the fun will end if she's not constantly doing something, so she decides to join the circus and perform acts for them. Despite her enthusiasm, Rainbow Dash struggles with every act she is offered and ultimately leads to a rather disappointing end to the show, but Rainbow eventually realizes that all she ever really needed for endless fun was to just spend time with her friends.

And now Shining Armor has also been thrown into Pony Life, though this case seems much more removed than the others (he runs a traveling circus and no mention is ever made of any relationships to either Cadance or Twilight). On top of that, many of the performances Rainbow Dash was asked to do were rather ridiculous.

Has Starlight Glimmer appeared in Pony Life yet? I’m not gonna watch the show until she appears

The final episodes of the season (and perhaps the entire Pony Life series) will be on next week, so I'll get back to you on that after I've seen them. (I will at least say that some other FiM characters have made an appearance this season. But seriously, though, I think you're being a little ridiculous refusing to watch the entire series just because one very specific character might not make even the very briefest of cameos. Just watch the show (or read my reviews under the spoiler tags) and then you can decide for yourself if it's any good, regardless of whoever is featured.)

Nothing else to report on this week, so I'll just get right into this week's new Pony Life episodes:

Spoiler: ShowHide
21: The holiday of Ponyville Play Day is approaching and the Main Six will be hosting the event this year, so they decide to put on a play to celebrate. They are unable to agree on what the play will be about, so they decide to audition their acts and let their new friends the Wildsiders help make the final decision. Their widely different acts soon causes tension between the group of friends and the Wildsiders end up having to break up the arguments and suggest that the play can involve all of their ideas in sequence, to which they all happily agree.

So it looks like this week's suddenly new story arc is performing a play for the town. At least it's nice to have a little continuity with the Wildsiders getting involved.

22: As the main ponies are beginning preparations for their play, Rarity's natural dramatics catches the attention of director Show Stopper who offers her a role in a big production play in the bigger theater just across the street. At first, Rarity tries to participate in both plays, but she struggles constantly and when it's revealed that the schedule conflict will force her to dedicate her time to only one play, she selfish decides to go for the big play, only to discover at the last minute that it's suddenly been cancelled due to unexpected circumstances. In the end, she apologizes to her friends for trying to ditch them and she agrees to share her original role with Sugar Snap.

Considering the role Rarity was given in the big production play was simply as a background tree, it's understandable that she initially believed it would be minor enough to allow her to perform both plays in the same night. But of course, the constantly changing schedule works further against Rarity's hopes, and it's only when the big play conveniently gets suddenly cancelled (by the big theater being converted into an aquarium of all things) that she finally makes the right choice to stick with her friends.

23: With rehearsal for the play underway, Applejack suddenly finds herself suffering from stage fright, so Rarity invites her friends to her house to de-stress, even going so far as to hire somepony to help them all relax. However, this "expert" turns out to be so inept that by the time she leaves, everyone ends up suffering stage fright as well. Surprisingly, Applejack has now suddenly lost her stage fright simply because she's now able to share the experience with her friends, and by agreeing to work together no matter what, everyone is soon relieved of their stage fright as well.

I'm honestly struggling to figure out how to properly identify the kind of work that expert in relaxation was supposed to do, but I can definitely say that Rarity most likely regrets that decision. Quite honestly, service that poor is certainly worthy of posting a bad review.

24: The night of the play has finally arrived and the Main Six ponies have everything all set to perform. However, at almost every act in the play, some weird magic causes just about all of the props and equipment to do unexpected things, forcing them all to roll with the changes by improvising their acts. Despite their struggles, the play is ultimately a success and they are able to celebrate, all while Discord watches backstage from the shadows...

I liked that brief call-back to an early Season 1 episode with those squishy cubes listed among the props. Of course, it was a little amusing how the main ponies were forced to improvise their various acts as a result of all the props doing all kinds of crazy things for seemingly no reason. And based on that last-second appearance of Discord, it seems next week's episodes will likely start off with something involving him.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on May 23, 2021, 02:30:30 AM
For the comics, issue 97 has finally been released, and the synopsis of issue 101 has been revealed.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/05/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-101.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/05/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-101.html)

And for Pony Life, this week's new episodes are the last ones of Season 2 (and perhaps the entire series as well, which means this could be the very last time we ever hear the official voices of the Main 6 ponies of G4). So, for one last time, here are my reviews of the new episodes:

Spoiler: ShowHide
25: Immediately after the play from the previous episode, the Main Six ponies wonder about how all of their props mysteriously vanished, and Twilight soon discovers it was the result of chaos magic. Rarity decides to investigate, with Pinkie joining along, and after discovering a clue at the library, Rarity concludes that the recent unusual events were the result of everyone's wishes upon the Cosmic Cotton Candy Comet not coming true, and thus she accuses Discord of wrongdoing with those wishes, to which he proudly confirms before he runs off.

Interesting that this episode ended up bringing the entire season full circle by referencing the earliest story arc with that comet, and the revelation that many of the crazy things that had since happened were because of Discord.

26: Now that they know Discord was responsible for their comet wishes not coming true, the Main Six ponies decide to confront him to get answers. However, he refuses to speak, so they come up with the idea to use shrinking potions and get into Discord's head to find out what he's really up to. After navigating through the confusing maze of his mind, they eventually discover a book that reveals he used up all of those stolen wishes on all kinds of random things for himself. The ponies escape and confront Discord again, but he just ignores their furious accusations.

For those of you who liked Discord more when he was a villain, it seems this story arc just might be to your linking. Honestly, I have a hard time believing that a reformed Discord would deliberately steal and waste the wishes that everyone had made on that comet, just for the heck of it.

27: The Main Six ponies are upset that they haven't been able to undo all the chaos magic all over Ponyville, but Pinkie reveals that it's Discord's birthday, so they come up with a plan to throw a surprise party and use his birthday wish to undo the chaos (since wish magic is the only kind powerful enough to counter chaos magic). However, the party supply store is sold out and the DJ they wanted for music suddenly leaves for a vacation, so they improvise by using some leftover movie props from Rarity's house and borrowing the DJ's equipment. Just when the party seems to have been successfully salvaged, Pinkie discovers the sugar she had used in the cake was actually the explosive kind, causing the cake to splatter all over the room. Discord arrives, and although he reveals that he overheard their plan and sabotaged everything, the chaotic result pleases him so much that he agrees to use his birthday wish to restore everything back to normal.

Once again we saw another FiM character make a brief appearance, this time with Cheerilee as the eccentric owner of a party supply store (yes, that's just as weird as it sounds). And with how randomly Discord does dastardly things in the previous episode only to suddenly agree to return everything back to normal after seeing the chaotic party that he directly caused, I suppose I'm reminded of how ridiculous this show has been at times and thus why I don't really like it as much as FiM.

28: It turns out that Discord's birthday wish was not enough to turn things back to normal. In fact, things have become even more chaotic with Twilight and Spike swapping bodies, Fluttershy singing every time she speaks, Pinkie talking on a banana phone, the Wildsiders suddenly pulled in through the portal, and the return of those mysterious bubbles that seem to always cause trouble. Twilight realizes that the regular and Wildsider worlds are now merging, but Lightning Chill comes up with a way to prevent that and finally return everything to normal by using some of the magical items the ponies had obtained in earlier events (Pinkie's cosmic candy crystal collector machine, the time capsule trunk, and the bubble wand). With a musical montage, the ponies and Wildsiders work together to clean up all the chaos magic and bring everything back to normal. The final act before everything is finally restored for good is for the Wildsiders to return home possibly forever, and while everyone is sad to say goodbye, they remain optimistic for what lies ahead.

So apparently just like last season, the only song came in the final episode. And in that song, it was nice to see callbacks to almost everything that had occurred throughout the entire season. And in an apparent parallel to FiM, the final image of the Main Six ponies is a picture in a book (with an additional gag courtesy of Discord). Overall, a rather appropriate way to bring an end to the season (and perhaps series as well).


Considering the fact that this season was only half as long as the first season, (and with the G5 movie coming out in just a few months) I think it's reasonable to say that this might very well be the end of Pony Life.

Hey guys. I have a question.

Does anybody here draw MLP fanart in style of actual TV series? Something that looks the same as we can see on tv episodes? With any method of drawing. (I dunno, I'm not good in terms. Vector, flash, or how can it be drawn).
Or do you know anyone on GOF discord server?

Thank you.

There's GeneralZoi's pony creator. It's really versatile and lets you pose, color, and choose from dozens of body parts. I made my Darwin's Soldiers character as a pony (https://darwinssoldiers.fandom.com/wiki/File:Ryder_Shetland.jpg) back in the day.

Another option, if you're okay with 3D models over 2D art, is to create an OC in Legends of Equestria (https://www.legendsofequestria.com/). I was a quest-writer for them back in the day, it's a great pony MMORPG with hundreds of quests and every major location/city from the show.

Thank you for advices! :)
But it won't help me, because:

- I am the worst awful artist ever so no single creator-editor program will help me. XD
- I need to make set of illustrations for one particular fanfic. It has to be drawn in "good" quality.

That's why I'm looking for those who used is "used" to this. :)

More precisely - I want to hire someone for this job. :[

Some major news today regarding the MLP comics:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/06/exclusive-idw-announces-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/06/exclusive-idw-announces-my-little-pony.html)

It seems the official series will end with issue #102, due to arrive sometime in September (which means the "Season 10" story arc will end after 13 "episodes"). To me, it seems kind of strange that this comic series that has lasted for almost ten years is being discontinued only just after hitting the 100 milestone, but I guess with G5 coming up soon, an end to this comic series may have been inevitable.

On a more positive note, we can still expect to see more of the FiM cast in the comics, because immediately after the official series concludes, there will be a five part miniseries that basically features a crossover between G4 and G1 MLP, so that should be interesting to see when the first issue comes out in October.

Oh, and if you're wondering how much of the official comic series has already been released, the most recent one I'm aware of is issue #98 (featuring post-retirement Celestia and Luna encountering a kraken), which came out nearly three weeks ago.

A brief update on the comics, issue #100 of the main series (also known as episode 11 of season 10) was released last week and the fourth and final part of the second MLP/Transformers crossover miniseries has been released this week. No word yet on when the last two remaining issues of the main series will be out.

For the G5 movie, we already knew it would become available on Netflix on September 24, but now we know the exact time it becomes available to watch will be at midnight, Pacific Time.

Post by: ImpracticalDino on September 10, 2021, 11:01:06 PM
I must wonder how structurally weak pony society is in general for
Spoiler: ShowHide
the unicorn, pegasi, and earth pony to literally be segregated once again in the future, and since Gen 5 takes place long in the future supposedly in the same universe and world, this really concerns me. What happened to Twilight's reign on Equestria as the Princess of Friendship? How could it have gone so wrong so dang soon? Maybe due to Twilight's friends all dying off since she outlives them (besides Spike, dragons can live very long time), it demoralized her and then the kingdom slowly fell into disarray? To be fair we can also partly blame it on the society of ponies, which seem to be very easily manipulated into mass fear and hysteria just because of false rumors about the other race of ponies (per the example shown in the Season 9 Episode 24).


But yeah, this new Gen 5 of MLP has my interested peaked surprisingly, but unfortunately not for the right reasons. :(petrie

I guess I'll check up on the news of Gen 5 once in awhile and watch some opinions of the show from people once it finally comes out, but other than that yeah I'm not too interested in the franchise no more. (anything going forward from Gen 4 I mean).

Like I sorta get why Gen 5 is kinda a reset of progress from the Gen 4 series, but couldn't they have made this maybe an alternate timeline or perhaps an entirely different timeline? It feels pretty dumb if I'm gonna be honest here. I'm sounding critical in this post, but these are just genuine concerns I have so far.

And also, this new animation style is just not my cup of tea either.

Post by: RainbowFaceProtege on September 21, 2021, 11:10:12 PM
Well, I'll admit that G5 has me intrigued. I initially wasn't sure I'd even give this a watch at all after how much Pony Life disappointed me, but now I figure I'm at least going to have to look into this, even if it's just for the nicely done animation. Those backgrounds are seriously impressive, and the character designs are pretty cute!

I can't help but notice a couple red flags, though. I'm not very impressed at how much of a blatant Mayor Bellwether knockoff Phyllis Cloverleaf clearly is. Couldn't they at least have made her LOOK different? Same hairstyle, same glasses...I mean, if you're going to rip off Pixar, why not at least be more subtle about it? Oh well, I could probably learn to overlook that...

But there's something else I'm not sure I can overlook, and that's the use of technology. One of the most charming things about the original Equestria was that they made a point of not having modern technology be a part of it. There weren't cell phones, there weren't robots (?!?), and there sure wasn't any social media. More often than not, I find social media annoying enough in real life as it is, so it especially disappoints me to see that they put it in MLP now, and for what? Because Equestria wasn't going to be cool and trendy enough without it? Every time technology randomly shows up in one of these clips, it jars me right out of the feel of MLP.

Also, I have to second @ImpracticalDino in saying that it seems odd (and disappointing) for Equestria to have become THIS backwards in the days gone by since G4. Feels like the best idea Hasbro could come up with was to rehash the first episode of FiM's "friends can be different" lesson but just on a larger scale.

But contrary to what this post might make you guys think, I truly am looking forward to this movie being released, I swear! :slap I mean, who knows? Maybe I'll love it. Maybe I'll love to hate it. :lol In any case, I'm curious to see what this will be all about! Thanks for keeping us updated @The Chronicler -- I haven't even bothered to look for news about this movie elsewhere because you're providing so much coverage! :)

I don't have much time to spare tonight for other things, so I'll just say my next post here will be my summary and review of the movie, once I've had a chance to see it.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on September 25, 2021, 10:00:21 PM
I spent some time yesterday familiarizing myself with how to use Netflix before I was finally able to watch the movie last night. As I've done with TV series episodes, I have avoided reading any comments before sharing my review here (which, naturally, will be behind a spoiler tag so those who have not yet seen the movie can avoid seeing my comment). I was originally going to include a summary of the events as well, but now that I think about it, it'll be very time-consuming for me to write all of that myself, so instead, I'll just provide a link to its page on the MLP Wiki site (https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_A_New_Generation) (you don't have to go to that page if you don't want to read it) and share my thoughts under the spoiler tag here.

Spoiler: ShowHide
I have to say, this is quite an interesting new version of Equestria we've been introduced to. Some advances in technology makes it obvious that quite some time has passed since the days of FiM. In a way, this results in some very interesting new settings, the three most significant being the Earth Pony coastal town of Maretime Bay (I'd describe it as pre-digital late 20th Century), the Pegasus mountaintop city of Zephyr Heights (fully modern with smartphones and large video screens on the sides of buildings), and the Unicorn home of Bridlewood (rather primitive with bits and pieces of later tech repurposed, so perhaps a modern poor nation would be an accurate analogue). Not to mention, it seems the FiM adventures occurred so long ago that they are now considered ancient history and even disregarded by many as myths. And of course, there's the status quo of this new Equestria where the three kinds are divided and largely fear and despise each other through false stereotypes (to the point where they each don't even know the other kinds have long since lost their magic), with only a select few ponies willing to look past all of that nonsense and see there's no reason to hate each other at all.

There's also the new main cast of ponies to consider. First is Sunny Starscout, who has been so persistent in her efforts to encourage friendship that she had gained a reputation as a troublemaker. There's Hitch Trailblazer, the town sheriff who has been friends with Sunny since childhood, but his duty to uphold the law has left him frequently at odds with her. The unicorn Izzy Moonbow is very enthusiastic, highly creative with just about anything, and eager to see past the differences to be willing to befriend any pony she meets. Zipp Storm is a member of the pegasus royal family, but has no interest in royalty and would rather spend her time going out and using her impressive athleticism to come as close as possible to feeling like she could fly. And finally, the pegasus princess Pipp Petals is a popular singer and social media influencer who always seems to have her phone nearby, but had little reason to really care for others (especially her older sister Zipp). There are a few other characters introduced in this movie as well, most notably for me is the guy who ultimately became the main villain, Sprout, who in just a couple days went from temporary sheriff to a supreme dictator who demanded construction of a tank-like vehicle to attack all unicorns and pegasi.

As for the events of the movie, I found it interesting how the group of friends eventually came together and learned to trust each other. Sunny and Izzy got along very quickly, Zipp was eager to help when she found out those two were seeking to restore the lost magic to all the unicorns and pegasi, Pipp was forced to flee her home because of an unfortunate incident and joined the traveling group with whom she soon learned to get along with and grew to appreciate, and Hitch initially followed Sunny to arrest her but eventually got to know the other ponies and realized that Sunny's dream of friendship between all ponies could actually be possible. I also enjoyed some of the funny moments throughout the movie (such as Hitch saying all of the "forbidden words" to keep the superstitious unicorns busy with a chant and dance so the five friends could escape). And as you might expect, this movie also had a few songs in quite a wide variety of genres (somehow, the one that I found most catchy was that angry mob theme led by Sprout). Also, there's some fun in pausing the movie at certain moments and trying to identify some amusing minor details that you otherwise might have missed (my personal favorite was trying to identify the several brand names that are spoofed in the ad signs all over Zephyr Heights).

Finally, there's much to consider on where the upcoming series is likely to go from here. Fist of all, with magic now restored to all the ponies and everyone apparently now happily visiting the other places, it'll be interesting to see what new sort of challenges will await the Main 5. I honestly can't believe that Sprout, who literally tried to start a full-scale war between the three pony tribes, has been essentially allowed free without any punishment despite expressing little regret for his actions, so that's something I feel needs to be addressed relatively soon. I'm not sure what will become of Sunny's home in the lighthouse after it was significantly destroyed, but I personally find it hard to believe that she and her late father were the only ones who kept any remaining records of Equestria's past, so I doubt the destruction would be too significant of a loss. And finally, I'm already hearing much debate over whether Sunny's alicorn transformation is temporary or permanent (I feel like it's a little too soon for her to earn something that took Twilight Sparkle three seasons to earn, so put me on the side of temporary for now), but I'm certain that question will be answered next year once the upcoming series gets underway.

Overall, a very exciting beginning to the new generation of pony. In fact, once I can find some time to spare, I absolutely intend to watch it again at least a couple more times. And of course, I'm eagerly looking forward to what else these five best friends will get to experience together, when the series begins sometime next year.

You know what?  I think I'm back! :)

After watching the new movie, and very much enjoying it, I think it's time I went back and finish watching what I missed.  I know it won't be easy, but I'm determined to get back into it.

So, yeah.  I think the new movie has reignited my love for the franchise.

I'll be fully back when I finally catch up.  I promise to pop in every now and then.  For now, I need to finish the G4 Series.

Considering where I left off, I'd best be ready for the worst.

See ya later! :wave

Finally, the first piece of news not related to the New Generation movie that I've shared in quite some time, a three page preview of the final issue of the FiM comic book series, scheduled to be released less than two weeks from now:

I was pleasently surprised, that movie did a great job. Love the main character, and I can definitely see potential for plenty of stories to tell in this new world. Though I still refuse to believe it would be possible for ponies to operate those cell phones

The final issue of the FiM comic series released just yesterday. Here's an extended preview that came out ahead of that release:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/10/extended-preview-for-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/10/extended-preview-for-my-little-pony.html)

The next comic series coming up will be the G4/G1 crossover, and revealed not long ago is a three-page preview of the first issue:

In the weeks since the New Generation movie came out, there has been tons of concept art that has been shared online by the creators. There's way too much for me to provide any specific links, so I'll just link to EqD's "concept art" tag so you can easily find everything on that subject:

At this point, I should probably mention that some of the official concept art that has been released in recent days is not entirely from the movie. Some of it is actually from the upcoming series, which means potential spoiler material, so be aware of that if you decide to look up any MLP G5 concept art.

One month since its release, the new MLP movie, A New Generation, has been doing amazingly well, becoming the #1 kids movie on Netflix in dozens of countries, and in some countries even reaching #1 movie overall. This could be a good sign that G5 might become just as successful as G4.

Elsewhere, it seems that the G5 content we can expect to see next year will consist of a one-hour special in May, followed by the start of Season 1 of the series in September, and then followed by a one-hour holiday special (the last one being something we've never heard of until now).

Shortly before the movie was released, among the preview videos were two of the songs featuring lyrics with various clips ("Glowin' Up" and "Gonna Be My Day", to be specific). Now, another song from the movie has been given a similar music video, this time it's "Fit Right In":

I never bothered listening to the officially released soundtrack, but I've heard that it includes extended versions of all the songs. I mention this because two of those songs are included in some recent videos.

First, "Fit Right In" featuring all of the lyrics:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c4O6vaNhRc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c4O6vaNhRc)

And the storyboard animatic of "Danger, Danger", providing an interesting look at how different the original version was from the final version we saw in the movie:

The storyboard animatic version of another song from the movie was just released, this one for "Fit Right In". You may notice the voices and music sound a little different in this early concept version, so I think (based on what I recall from a behind-the-scenes video about the Lego Movie) this was made with placeholder voicework before the actual voice actors recorded any lines.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGmfEg8acp8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGmfEg8acp8)

And some updates on the comics. First, part 2 of the G1/G4 crossover miniseries was released a few days ago. Here's a five-page preview:

I'm not sure why I did this, but I wanted to study how MLP handled species ratios throughout the years, and built a spreadsheet:

(https://i.imgur.com/fElVeX7.png)

Couple interesting patterns here in how the franchise handled it:
*Gen I: Two of every species
*Gen II: Just Earth ponies, apparently they abandoned mythical horse spinoffs
*Gen III: This time there was a pair of characters who had the gimmick of "is a pegasus" and "is a unicorn", with the rest of the cast being Earth ponies.
*Gen IV: Went back to two of each species (far from the only thing Lauren Faust stole from Gen 1, you can tell she mostly grew up with Gen I and ignored where the franchise had gone after she grew out of it)

Which leads to Gen 5, which is weird in that there are only 5 protagonists, it's missing the second unicorn. Maybe they'll add one later or she got cut for other reasons? It's also the first generation to have a stallion in the main cast, which is kinda crazy

A recent interview with the movie's director revealed a few things of interest, but it was done in Spanish, which I'm not fluent enough in to bother watching the video. Thankfully, translations of some of the more interesting things are provided in the following link (along with the video itself, if you're interested):

In other news, it seems MLP:FiM is due to be removed from Netflix at the end of next month (and supposedly without ever including the final season):

For the comics, part 3 of the G1/G4 crossover miniseries released a couple weeks ago. Here's a three-page preview from a while ago:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/12/my-little-pony-generations-3-3-page.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/12/my-little-pony-generations-3-3-page.html)

Today, we have the release of apparently the very first G5 comic (though it seems to be in the form of a young reader's book):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/my-little-pony-sunnys-day-generation-5.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/my-little-pony-sunnys-day-generation-5.html)

Finally, for something really interesting also just revealed today, here's a deleted scene from the movie, back when the story was quite different from the final version we're all familiar with:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/new-deleted-scene-from-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/new-deleted-scene-from-my-little-pony.html)

Part 4 of the G1/G4 crossover miniseries comics released today, and it seems we finally get to see the two generations of ponies actually meet each other in this one. Here's an extended preview of it:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/my-little-pony-generations-4-extended.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/01/my-little-pony-generations-4-extended.html)

Also, we now have a video of the storyboard animatic version of the first song in the G5 movie, "Gonna Be My Day". Compared to the final version seen in the movie, it seems much of this early version is familiar but arranged in a different order.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaBbZIipqpk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaBbZIipqpk)

And apparently not yet reported on Equestria Daily is this storyboard animatic uploaded by the same account on the same day, showing the scene where Sprout essentially is in full control over the factory (and again, it's interesting to see which words were changed between this early version and the final version seen in the movie).

The fifth and final part of the G1/G4 crossover miniseries comics has just released, and since we've yet to hear any news regarding upcoming MLP comic releases, this is essentially the last piece of new G4 content for the foreseeable future. Here's a five-page extended preview:

Also, another deleted scene from the New Generation movie has been shared (and since the end of this clip seems to be leading into a song, it's worth noting that the storyboard animatic of a song featuring the Main 6 ponies of FiM was leaked several months before the movie first released, quite possibly the very song that this deleted scene seems to be leading up to).

Lots of big news announced yesterday and earlier today!

First up, the next official MLP comic will focus on the G5 main ponies, with the first issue coming out in May, the same month when that one-hour special will be released.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-official-idw-comic-series-announced.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-official-idw-comic-series-announced.html)

Speaking of which, that one-hour special will be available to watch on May 26, and the first season of the series will begin on September 26, both on Netflix, and apparently both of them will be titled "Make Your Mark".
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-my-little-pony-make-your-mark.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-my-little-pony-make-your-mark.html)

There's also the holiday special, which will be out on November 26 and titled "Winter Wishday".
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/my-little-pony-generation-5-winter.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/my-little-pony-generation-5-winter.html)

In addition to the Netflix series (which will use the same 3D animation as the New Generation movie we've seen), there will also be a weekly series on YouTube that will use 2D animation, will begin on April 7, and will be titled "Tell Your Tale".
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-my-little-pony-tell-your-tale-2d.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/new-my-little-pony-tell-your-tale-2d.html)

Finally, it has been confirmed that the Main 5 ponies will have a completely different cast of voice actors for both series than what we saw with the New Generation movie.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/more-images-from-my-little-pony-g5-tell.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/more-images-from-my-little-pony-g5-tell.html)

I'm definitely excited by all of this news. I think it's amazing that G5 will be getting two series running almost simultaneously, with the only confirmed difference being the animation styles. What do you think about all that has been revealed recently?
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on February 17, 2022, 10:56:47 PM
Not super impressed with the 2D artstyle, but that wasn't much of a showcase so maybe it works better with voice-acting and a full background/storyline.

Looks like my prediction that they were gonna add a 6th main character who was a unicorn didn't happen. I still suspect they had one and dropped her at some point in development, and if they ever need to shake things up nothing's stopping them from adding one later
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on February 19, 2022, 08:15:31 PM
A few more details regarding the upcoming G5 content.

Tell Your Tale, the 2D series that'll be on YouTube starting on April 7, will have a total of at least 70 episodes, each 5 minutes long and released weekly, and will apparently focus more on slice-of-life content.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/another-shot-of-new-g5-tell-your-tale.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/02/another-shot-of-new-g5-tell-your-tale.html)

Make Your Mark, the 3D series that'll be on Netflix on September 26 (after the 44-minute special of the same name that'll come out on May 26), the first season will consist of 8 episodes, each 22 minutes long, will supposedly be the more story-driven series, and considering how Netflix typically releases its original content, it's probable the entire season will come out all at once.
(I'm afraid I can't find any sources specifying this information, but from what I'm hearing, that's the official word on this series.)

Definitely a lot to look forward to, starting a couple months from now.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on February 21, 2022, 10:10:30 PM
Some additional new details.

A description for Tell Your Tale (the 2D series) implies the Main 5 ponies will all live in Maretime Bay.

And it's been revealed that Make Your Mark (the 44-minute special coming out on Netflix on May 26) will continue pretty much right from where the New Generation movie left off.

Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on March 08, 2022, 10:30:16 PM
Last week, an official console video game for G5 MLP was announced with a brief description, some images, and a release date of May 27 (the day after the Make Your Mark 44-minute special comes out on Netflix).
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/03/my-little-pony-maretime-bay-adventure.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/03/my-little-pony-maretime-bay-adventure.html)

And earlier today, a trailer for that game was released (also confirming that it'll be available on all the major gaming consoles and platforms).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJl8ADpJQtE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJl8ADpJQtE)

I have to admit, seeing as this game will be available on Steam, I just might be tempted to actually purchase this game for myself, though likely not until some time after it becomes available.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on March 30, 2022, 08:05:16 PM
Just over a week left to go before we get to see the first episode of Tell Your Tale (the 2D series on YouTube), while Make Your Mark (the 3D special on Netflix ahead of the similarly named series later in the year) is less than two months away.

For the comics, while the first issue of the new series is still some time away, the second issue was revealed not long ago, and let's just say the primary cover of it has really gotten fans talking about what it means regarding the connection between G4 and G5.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/03/my-little-pony-generation-5-2.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/03/my-little-pony-generation-5-2.html)

Personally, I wouldn't look too deeply into it. After all, there were several G4 comics that ended up conflicting with later episodes of the FiM series, and since the TV show always took priority for canon, that left those certain comics being regarded as no longer canon, and I believe there's a real possibility that could eventually happen here with this new comic series.

Well, The Chronicler suggested I should come here, since I stated before I'm a fan of MLP in the short time I've been here so far. So here I am. :PLoofah

I've always been pretty fond of this series, though I haven't taken the time to watch it in forever. For ages my favorite fluctuated between Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity, though it's Pinkie Pie right now. I always like the eccentric, bubbly characters. :petrieLOL

I wanna try and see if I can watch A New Generation sometime, I'd like to get to know the new generation. Though I have a lot of nostalgic attachment to Friendship is Magic, and I don't think any MLP media will replace it anytime soon.

Also, Silverstream is best Friendship School student :p
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on April 03, 2022, 08:30:12 PM
I would definitely recommend watching A New Generation, and not just because of all the new content that follows it that'll be coming out later this year. I've heard some fans say it was even better than the 2017 MLP movie, not to mention that it was one of the most popular movies on Netflix when it first came out.

Among my favorite FiM ponies are Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer, and Sunset Shimmer. I'm also quite fond of the Friendship School students (the official name of their group is "Young Six"), with my favorites among them being Gallus and Silverstream.

By the way, @HotelValleyfornia , have you ever seen the spin-off series Equestria Girls? I figured that with your obsession for those FreshTV cartoons, you might enjoy it for it's high school setting.

Oooh yes, I love me some Equestria Girls! I really like how it crosses the fantasy atmosphere of MLP with a classic high school setting, and the ponies' personalities are translated to high school students really well. "Under Our Spell" from Rainbow Rocks is perpetually stuck in my head. :p The shorts are pretty fun too. I should probably rewatch some of the Equestria Girls stuff at some point.

Trust me, you'll want your first impression of the Gen 5 main ponies to come from watching A New Generation (I have a feeling I know exactly which of the main ponies will very likely become your favorite ;) ). Although Make Your Mark (the 3D Netflix series) is still months away, Tell Your Tale (the 2D YouTube series) will release its first episode later this week, so now would be a good time to get caught up with the movie.

Lately, regarding the upcoming Tell Your Tale series, I've been hearing some fans making unfavorable comparisons to Pony Life. I don't know what your thoughts are of the Pony Life series, but although I did watch every episode, I have no intentions on watching any of them ever again, as that kind of wacky show is just not for me.

Equestria Girls, on the other hand, I definitely enjoyed watching, in some ways even more that the main FiM series, probably because it's setting is a more relatable modern world. In fact, I've spent several years writing a fanfiction series which is basically an alternate version of the events of the entire Equestria Girls series, where the key difference is that its alternate world setting is not a human high school but a world made of Lego and populated by Lego Minifigures. If you're interested in reading it, I had posted a topic in the Written Word section (or simply follow the link in my signature) where I've provided links to all these stories on the MLP fanfiction site, fimfiction.net.

I have to say, it's kinda nice to have an actual discussion in this topic rather than just me reporting the latest news.

Cause the more we here talk about it, the more I really wanna get into Gen 5. I'm gonna miss Friendship is Magic, but MLP definitely has a bright future. :DD

The day has finally arrived, and the first episodes of Tell Your Tale have officially released. That's right, multiple episodes, as in a total of four episodes in a single day. If this is the rate these episodes will be released in, then I'm calculating that we'll get all 70 episodes by the end of July at the earliest, which I suppose would sound reasonable to have this first season completed shortly before we would get the first few episodes of the Make Your Mark series in late September.

From what I've seen in these first four episodes, I can't help but suspect that the full context of the setting would not entirely make sense until we see the 44-minute Make Your Mark special that'll be coming in late May, so some of you might be tempted to regard this series as possible spoilers for that special. I personally don't mind that much since I'll be watching all of it eventually, but for those of you who would rather avoid spoilers at all costs, I think this might count as a probable word of caution.

Okay, with all of that out of the way, time to share the links to these first four episodes, along with my thoughts on each of them...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYcb5bUYHI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RoYcb5bUYHI)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So it seems the main ponies will all be living in the same place, which is the "Crystal Brighthouse". (Perhaps a magically rebuilt version of Sunny's destroyed old lighthouse?) I guess you can see right away why I'm suspecting possible spoilers for the upcoming special just over a month from now. Anyway, I somehow totally expected the problem and solution of this episode, that everyone randomly doing their own things resulted in a big mess, but then actually working with each other allowed them to achieve a much better result. Also nice to see Sunny still has that picture of her late father.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-UBT_d75w (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp-UBT_d75w)

Spoiler: ShowHide
I'm not surprised that so many pegasi are still struggling to fly well, considering that all magic had returned relatively recently, which makes it all the more impressive just how expertly skilled Zipp happens to be this early on. Even though it's so obvious that Zipp would be the one who could help some pegasi improve their flying, her disinterest in bringing any attention to herself meant that her friends practically had to force her into teaching those lessons. Zipp eventually changes her mind for the better when she watches a pegasus foal struggling to fly, which gave us a nice flashback to when Zipp was a filly struggling to learn her parkour moves. Also, I got a little amusement from those running gags of that one pegasus who was terrified of daisies, and Hitch constantly getting fruit splattered in his face.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhpZJbsxzs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAhpZJbsxzs)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Again, it's obvious most of the pegasi are still very inexperienced at flying. And it seems the royal family of Zephyr Heights has remained in power despite the fake flying scandal from the movie (and Queen Haven apparently got a new crown that's an exact replica of the original, except a different color). Interestingly, Zipp is still officially first in line to inherit the throne of Zephyr Heights, even though she and her sister are leaving that city to live with their friends (and not surprisingly, Pipp just has to be the one who overpacks an absurd amount). In addition, While Zipp and Pipp got a huge send-off from Zephyr Heights, Izzy got practically no send-off from Bridlewood, which really says something about her being such an outsider among the other unicorns.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XP_aqbjYk&t=7s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4XP_aqbjYk&t=7s)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Apparently, when earlier episodes mentioned all of the main ponies would be living together, they actually meant only the four mares. While the trope of the troublesome roommate (Izzy in this case) is something I've heard before, I'm actually pleased that even at the worst moments, Sunny, Pipp, and Zipp chose not to confront Izzy but instead first ask for advice from Hitch. That advice of honesty not only allowed them to kindly inform Izzy of how problematic she had been to them, but also allowed Izzy to confess that she was trying to mimic their behavior in a naive effort to fit in, to which her friends remind her that she doesn't need to be anything but herself. In other words, common sense prevailed and prevented so much needless trouble, and I'm actually happy to see such a peaceful resolution. In addition, interesting to not only see a pony locked up in the police station's jail cell, but also Hitch treating him with kindness and respect (if only real law enforcement could be even half as friendly as that).


And that's all for this week's episodes. What are your thoughts on these first four episodes?

Post by: The Chronicler on April 14, 2022, 09:25:15 PM
So I guess the four episodes at once thing may have been only for the very first week, because this week we got just one new episode. (And apparently, another episode was leaked early in a different language, so I won't bother looking for that one and wait for the official release.) So to continue, here's the new episode, followed by my comments:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQChzQ1dzhg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQChzQ1dzhg)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So it seems Pipp has decided to start her own hairstyling business (called Mane Melody) in Maretime Bay. After the song (which we heard part of in the trailer a few weeks ago) when Pipp freaked out over one customer giving a not quite perfect review (after so many others had given perfect reviews) I was afraid this would turn out like that Equestria Girls short where Pinkie Pie became desperate to get a five star review out of someone who gave only four stars. Thankfully, this episode went in a different direction with the arrival of Phyllis Cloverleaf. (Some fans have pointed out some background details in some of the previous episodes, such as a Wanted poster for Sprout, and the Canterlogic building seems to have fallen into disrepair, so at least this episode assures us that Phyllis is still around.) And it seems Phyllis has a reputation of having high standards and leaving poor reviews if they're not met, which obviously stresses Pipp into making a mistake. What I really liked about this episode is how Zipp pointed out that so many other ponies had been highly satisfied with Pipp's work that she shouldn't get upset over one imperfection (and now that I think about it, I think that certain Equestria Girls short I mentioned earlier would've been much better had it presented this lesson rather than portray Pinkie as a control freak). That gives Pipp the confidence to finish her work and earn a good review from Phyllis.


I have to say, after these first five episodes, I'm already impressed by what I've seen, especially since many of them don't seem to be falling back onto old cliches and instead present rather realistic solutions for the everyday issues that these characters encounter.

Yesterday, we got our first glimpses of the Make Your Mark special that'll be coming out just over a month from now.

And of course, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale (this is the one that released early in a different language last week, so at least that leak is now behind us):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_hEjvNvl5o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_hEjvNvl5o)

Spoiler: ShowHide
While most of those unicorn traps from the movie have been disabled and removed, it seems a few were missed. And of course it would be too easy to simply press the big red button to free Izzy, so somewhat predictably, that button isn't working on that particular trap. As a result of this incident, we now know that Izzy's magic capability is at least strong enough for her to levitate herself (along with the big heavy metal box containing her). At least we got to briefly see a few interesting places throughout Maretime Bay during Hitch's tour, and considering Izzy's backstory, I would not be surprised if she really was truthful about that being the best tour she had ever been on, despite being trapped inside that box the entire time. In addition, I somehow knew they were going to use the phrase "think outside the box" as a pun for the situation, though at least that allowed Hitch to find the other release button on the bottom side of the box. Probably also worth noting is that (in my opinion based on what I've seen) this is apparently the first episode that really shows Hitch as one of the main characters who actually contributes to the group of friends.

I really, really don't like that artstyle. And the animation quality is strangely stiff, reminds me of the sort of amateur animations you see on YouTube. I'm probably gonna sit MLP out for a while until we get something that looks better than this or Pony Life.

Edit: Also I guess the racism is solved? Everything's just cool again? Since they're apparently jaunting around Maretime Bay and one of them's the sheriff and nobody's bothering them

Keep in mind, there will be two series running simultaneously, the 2D series on YouTube and the 3D series on Netflix, and since only the former is running currently, I would suggest at least giving the other series a chance once it eventually comes out (especially since it'll be using the same 3D animation as the movie did). In fact, the "Make Your Mark" 44-minute special that'll be out a month from now supposedly takes place immediately after the events of the movie, so some of your questions might actually be answered in that special.

Besides, I don't mind the 2D animation style that much anyway. The stories presented in these episodes are rather interesting for the most part, with what I consider a remarkable acknowledgement of how some everyday issues can realistically be resolved. Unlike with Pony Life (which was just too wild and crazy for me), I'm actually okay with watching episodes of Tell Your Tale more than once.

Speaking of which, here's this week's new episode:

While this episode is certainly not among my favorites, I do appreciate the apparent moral that you should express yourself rather than try to copy whatever the latest so-called trend might be. I'm no expert on social media influencer stuff, but I'm pretty sure that mimicking a popular music video will never receive anywhere close to as many views and likes as the original video, so you might as well try something more original. Also, I was amused by how the old rhetorical question "Have you been living in a cave?" turned out to actually be true in this case, thanks to how Hitch got the Main 5 lost while they had been hiking some time ago.

With this episode featuring Hitch on the job, we now know quite a few interesting things, such as that he apparently lives in the same building he works in (probably an apartment on the upper floor above the police station). Also, it seems that Hitch no longer has a deputy and only now admits that he could really use a new one (with this episode suggesting Zipp as a possibility), which means that whatever happened to Sprout after the events of the movie, he is definitely no longer deputy (and since he has yet to appear or even be mentioned at all, this is literally the only thing we now know about Sprout's current status). In addition, Hitch being the critter magnet that he is allowed us to see a first appearance of some other various critters which include unicorn raccoons, unicorn bunnies, and pegasus snails (all three of which I find to be pretty weird and unexpected, even by G4 standards, so I guess we'll keep an eye out for any more critters with magical features).

While not quite among my favorites, I do appreciate how they acknowledge that Izzy doesn't really have any unicorn friends, even now with all the other friends she has made. While I was amused by the joke of confusing the unicorn holiday of T.U.E.S. Day with Tuesday and everyone pointing out that it's actually Thursday, I would still like to know what the acronym of that holiday actually stands for (Edit: After rewatching the episode, I now know that it stands for "The Unicorn Expression of Sparkle" Day.). Also amusing was that pony-style Transformers movie as a neat reference between Hasbro properties. Ultimately, I'm glad that Sunny was honest with Izzy about she and the others not being aware of that unicorn holiday as they are still learning about each other (and it was nice to see Sunny using her dad's journal as a reference book to figure that out). It seems despite Izzy's creative and somewhat crazy methods (I mean, really, an imaginary friend built out of household junk?), this episode could be another example of how this show presents realistic morals and solutions that I always appreciate seeing.

I found this to be a relatively good episode. Ten episodes into the series and it's only the second time that Sunny is the focus character, but while it's nice the others have had plenty of attention, not even the lead main character should be left forgotten for too long. Anyway, it seems all five of the main ponies own and use smartphones by this point, though some (like Sunny) are apparently still figuring out how to properly use them. While it was nice to see Sunny and Izzy traveling together again, I do wonder why Izzy was hauling that wagon full of rocks in the first place, since she admitted that she had forgotten about Sunny's plans for all of them to go on a hike. And I'll admit, I had a good laugh at that part with the Pac-Man sound effects when everyone was running around through the woods.


Just a reminder, the first of the new comics will be out on the 25th, the Make Your Mark 44-minute special will be available on Netflix on the 26th, and the Maretime Bay Adventure video game will be officially released on the 27th, so it seems there will be a whole bunch of new stuff coming out next week.

The lipsync is abysmal, but otherwise the animation's not that bad. New voice actors are doing fine, was curious whether they could live up to the celebrity cast from the opening movie. Glad the plots are more serious, slice-of-life is easy enough to fill in the gaps around the narrative. Wing designs are weird, Zip's look like they're made of plastic and don't have the proper ambient occlusion. Highlighter-colored villain pony needs her neon toned down, she doesn't fit the pastel fur tones of the other ponies.

In general I'm not sure I'm gonna stick around for Gen5 to the degree I did Gen4, but I'm pleased its not a dumpster fire, it actually looks to be a solid-enough show

we're now hours away from the special's release. 
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on May 26, 2022, 10:30:20 PM
I'll start off this post with my comments on the Make Your Mark special. I was considering including a summary for those who are unable to watch it (like I used to do with every new episode of G4), but it just seems like too much effort for me, so I'll try to limit myself to my thoughts and observations of anything I considered significant.

Spoiler: ShowHide
So it seems much of the character focus in this special is on Zipp, not just on her trying to figure out why magic has become rather faulty recently, but also dealing with pressure from her mother to return to Zephyr Heights for royal duties. Even so, the other main ponies have their own moments of interest, such as Hitch secretly caring for a large egg he found on the beach, Sunny struggling to understand her new alicorn magic that she's currently unable to control when and where it activates, and Pipp and Izzy prepare a surprise gift for Sunny by repairing the lantern her dad had made for her (proving that at least some objects from Sunny's old home really were damaged when that place was destroyed). In addition, everyone is preparing for the upcoming Maretime Bay Day festival (so I guess that's where the video game tie-in comes from, though whatever the content of that game will be is obviously not going to be canon to the main series).

Additionally, there's still lingering tensions between the three tribes, especially by the earth ponies who express displeasure over apparently being the only ones still without magic (even Hitch admits to feeling jealous over not having magic, but at least he's respectful enough to not let it cloud his judgement, unlike most of the other earth ponies), the most vocal of whom is unquestionably Poesy Bloom (whose character design is based on the G1 pony who inspired G4's Fluttershy, which admittedly makes her rather nasty attitude in this special quite jarring).

I wasn't exactly pleased to see Zipp be so evasive around her friends and thinking she could solve the mystery of faulty magic on her own. To me, it just seemed like a pointless waste of time for much of the first half of the special. (I guess this means one reason I like the Tell Your Tale series is because the short runtime practically forces it to not beat around the bush too much and just get straight to the point.) Though I did like the little detail that Zipp's phone is one of those foldable smartphones. (I'd also like to note that in one moment of glitching magic, Windy points out that she's usually a pretty good flyer, indicating that this special takes place after at least the first few episodes of Tell Your Tale.)

Thankfully, all of the Main Five are able to figure out prior to the festival that hatred and distrust among the ponies has been what's causing magic to glitch out, and they make a good effort to use the festival to promote unity among all ponies, but jealousy and hatred among the earth ponies proves so great that it unleashes a powerful storm and opens a bottomless void in the ground. This time, the complete loss of magic not only prevents pegasi from flying and unicorns from casting spells, but also causes the hooves of earth ponies to get stuck to the ground.

The disaster is averted when everyone realizes that working together to help each other is able to undo those consequences (Sunny even used her repaired lantern and alicorn magic to rescue Poesy from the void), and with true unity fully restored, magic returns even stronger than before, enough to give even the earth ponies magic such as making plants grow rapidly (and allowing Hitch to communicate directly with animals). For those of you who have always wondered about whether earth ponies even have any magic at all, it seems now you have a very definitive answer.

After all of that happened, the egg Hitch found on the beach hatches into a dragon, which Sunny notes have not been seen by any ponies for "generations", so at least that provides a somewhat minimal amount of time that has passed since the events of G4. It also leaves us wondering how much the dragons might have changed throughout that period of time. Also, Queen Haven visited the festival, and after a conversation with Zipp, she eventually allows Zipp to stay in Maretime Bay with her friends. Zipp even ends up earning the title of "Detective" for her efforts.

In addition, near the end of the special, we also got a brief foreshadowing of potentially the first real villain of the series, who claims that now that the ponies have regained full control over their magic, she can finally "take back what is rightfully mine", so we may yet learn more about why all magic was lost in the first place, such as  where those magical Unity Crystals came from and why they were separated. (From what little we could see of her in the shadows, I would best describe her as a unicorn that sort of resembles Nightmare Moon.)

As for the animation, while the quality is certainly not as great as the movie, I will say that, for what will after all be a multi-episode series, it's actually rather standard at worst, so I'll consider it as "good enough" (it could be better, but it could also be much worse, and there's always the possibility for improvement as the series goes on).

Overall, this seemed like a rather decent way to start off the series, almost like those two-part episodes that started almost every season of FiM, and I'll be looking forward to the full-length episodes when they come out in September, four months from now.


In addition, we also have this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale (which apparently takes place right after the events of Make Your Mark, so be sure to watch that before you watch this video):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiETt6ypF_A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiETt6ypF_A)

Spoiler: ShowHide
We all know Izzy is always excited to try new things, and being from the relatively primitive town of Bridlewood means she's not exactly familiar with modern technology, and those two combined resulted somewhat inevitably in her accidentally deleting all of the videos Pipp had recorded from the Maretime Bay Day celebration. I don't like losing information, so I completely understand why Pipp would feel so devastated. The others ultimately cheered her up by recreating the festival in their backyard, and while that might seem pretty over the top, I do appreciate that they kept the recreation between just the five of them and they didn't try to force the rest of town into mimicking everything that had happened the previous day (that would've completely ruined the episode for me, so what we got instead is okay by me). Also, at least they still have several photographs from the actual festival, so it's not like there's nothing left to remember it by.


I would also like to note that with the release of this episode, it now makes sense why the Tell Your Tale series was started weeks before the release of Make Your Mark, because apparently the first ten episodes take place before Make Your Mark. By my calculations, we can expect to be through a total of 28 episodes of Tell Your Tale by the time Season 1 of Make Your Mark comes out in late September (so that'll be 18 episodes of TYT between the special and Season 1 of MYM).

Aside from the release of the video game "A Maretime Bay Adventure" last Friday, not much else new in the past week, aside from discussions regarding various aspects of the Make Your Mark special. (Though I am curious to hear what other members here thought of that special.)

And as usual, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:

Strange as this might sound, I both like and dislike this episode. I disliked it because of Zipp accusing her friends of stealing her sunglasses with rather flimsy evidence (the kind of nonsense I'd expect from Pinkie Pie, not from someone as logical as Zipp). But then came the part that I really liked, which was Izzy gifting Zipp that awesome special visor that allows her to see things in a lot of different ways (night vision, heat vision, x-ray vision). Not only am I thrilled to see that cool visor is now an actual thing rather than just something random in the credits, but also I guess this means Izzy is more tech-savvy than I had previously thought (especially after that mishap in last week's episode). So, yeah, I disliked Zipp's behavior in this episode, but loved that new item she got (and I'm really looking forward to seeing how that visor could be utilized in future episodes of both this series and the upcoming Make Your Mark series).

Let's be honest, how many of you ever expected an episode of My Little Pony to include a cheerful song about digging through garbage? That was kind of amusing, I have to admit, and I can imagine plenty of ways the fans will likely make use of Izzy's enthusiasm for dumpster diving. Anyway, since this episode features Izzy trying to find a part to finish repairing the lantern as a surprise gift for Sunny, it's obvious this episode takes place sometime in the middle of the events of the Make Your Mark special (a similar assessment I recently made for last week's episode after looking closely at the background of some images from Make Your Mark). Another thing I found notable is that Izzy rides around town on some kind of moped or scooter, which for me confirms that motorized vehicles really do exist in G5 Equestria, albeit probably not very common.

Spoiler: ShowHide
After so many episodes that essentially pushed Sunny to the sidelines, it's good to finally see an episode that actually shows how much she has struggled to control her alicorn powers. While Izzy, Pipp, and Zipp had their own ideas, it was Hitch who ultimately helped Sunny understand that she just needed to believe in herself, and it was in an effort to save some foals from a big wave at the beach that she finally gained better control over her alicorn magic, though it's obvious she still has a lot of work to do.

EDIT: After looking through some images from this episode, I now noticed that the scene where Zipp pushes Sunny through that dangerous obstacle course apparently takes place inside the Canterlogic building, which has obviously been left abandoned for quite a long time. If you look closely at the background of that scene, you might even recognize the stage and runway from an early part of the New Generation movie is in that very same room.

FYI, I'm still curious to hear what anyone else thought of the Make Your Mark special that came out last month (if you've seen it, of course).

Anyway, issue #2 of the comic series came out yesterday, though no extended preview is available for me to share, presumably because its digital release was leaked a day early. Either way, based on what I've heard, it seems the comics will be the G5 series that focuses on the connection between G5 and G4, so if you've wanted those answers, that's where you'll find them (though let's face it, past experience has proven that content from the comics may not necessarily be true canon for the TV series).

And here's this week's Tell Your Tale episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C3VpQs8uJI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_C3VpQs8uJI)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So this episode features Sunny, Hitch, and Izzy have suddenly turned into very young foals (so young that they can't even speak properly), which leaves Pipp and Zipp to figure out how it happened and how to return them back to normal. I do have to say, it's nice to see some almost immediate continuity between these most recent episodes, particularly with Zipp using her special visor and that jar of glitter Izzy had collected from when Sunny was struggling to control her alicorn magic. Interesting that the alicorn glitter has magical effects when used in certain ways, which I'm sure will provide plenty of other possibilities for upcoming episodes.

Okay, I sure wasn't expecting an episode to have one of the focus characters be Dahlia, who prior to this episode was essentially one of those barely-known background ponies. And now that it's been brought up, it actually makes sense that a typical flower cart would struggle to have much business with the kind of magic earth ponies now have. Sunny tried her best to help Dahlia learn to use her earth pony magic, but it soon becomes obvious that, just like with some unicorns and pegasi, earth ponies are also still struggling to properly control their magic. In this case, excessive pollen from giant flowers leads to an allergy epidemic (and I will admit that all those snotty noses made this one of the first episodes that was just too much cringe for me to fully watch). Sunny and her friends made a good effort to help the entire town move on from that disaster, though even that success appears to be only temporary.

Compared to some of the most recent episodes, this one was pretty amusing, with a very interesting concept. We all know Zipp is supposed to one day inherit the title of queen, so it was nice to see her suggest that Queen Haven let Zipp and her friends handle all of her royal duties for a day. Needless to say, the five of them were quickly overwhelmed. At least they all did their best to keep going and not freak out too badly, though they were certainly relieved once the day finally came to an end, especially with Haven generous enough to provide them with a royal meal for their efforts.

I finally got around to watching Make Your Mark, and tbh I'm really unimpressed. The plot was fragmented beyond all belief, with at least 5 subplots all having nothing to do with each other. Izzy and the Twitch streamer pony had nothing to do throughout the plot, Sunny did nothing but save the day last-minute by turning into an alicorn, Hutch's new dragon baby looks like something from a cheap commercial for kid's toothpaste, and they never fixed the ambient occlusion on Zipp's wings so they still look like plastic. Izzy's horn would frequently switch between fur-colored and bone-colored, many background ponies would either be standing still or (even worse) flying without any wing animations, and highlighter-pony was still hilariously oversaturated and didn't fit the color palette of everything else in the world. Plus I found the songs generic and pretty forgettable compared to the broadway-style Menken-esque songs we got back in Gen IV. And finally, why was it called Make Your Mark? Did somebody make a mark at some point in that special?

On the positive side, voice-acting was well-done, the replacements they found for the celebrity cast from the original movie sound very similar and put a lot of nuance into the underwhelming dialogue they had to deliver. In general, I don't really see much value in Gen 5's current quality except for MLP's original purpose of distracting kids and selling toys.

So it seems the "Equestria Games" have been brought back by Sunny and friends as a way to celebrate the reunification of the pony tribes (though certainly nothing like the old version we saw in Seasons 3 and 4 of G4's FiM series). Of course, having the teams consist of the same kinds inevitably results in unfair advantages as they use their respective kinds of magic, and everyone's intense competitiveness eventually causes the magic to start glitching out again (just like in the Make Your Mark special). I thought it was nice to see both Queen Haven and Alphabittle (first time he's ever made a significant appearance in a Tell Your Tale episode) talk with Sunny about the difficulties of leadership, which helps Sunny realize the key to making the games successful is to have everyone compete on mixed teams so that the advantages of each kind of magic are balanced out evenly. A rather nice departure from the old version of the games that divided everyone by where they're from, which was certainly bound to fail, considering how strongly divided the tribes used to be.

I'm sure there were times back in G4 when we wondered what exactly the animals were saying to Fluttershy, and with Hitch having that ability in the current generation, it seems this episode finally provided that, where Hitch struggles to resolve a dispute over a berry bush between the racoonicorns and the pegasnails. Not only do we perfectly understand what they're saying (with the pegasnails speaking with a posh accent and the racconicorns speaking with a New York accent), but there are also moments when Sunny is around and we hear those critters speaking the senseless gibberish we normally would expect from such critters, proving that they're not actually talking but rather we're just hearing what Hitch can hear thanks to his earth pony magic. Personally, I found the concept kinda interesting, but not much else to say. I guess it's the novelty of hearing these critters actually talk that made this a rather neat episode, so make of that what you will.

EDIT: I decided to correct the identifications of the accents used by the critters, to avoid unintentionally coming across as offensive to certain groups.

So this episode focuses on another background pony who we've previously known very little beyond their name, in this case the earth pony stallion named Rufus. And this time, it's Izzy who ends up helping him figure out how to utilize his new magic, albeit after several failed efforts in trying to find something that a performance magician like himself could do. (At least he's nowhere nearly as boastful as another certain performance magician from the G4 series.) We also got another appearance by those three fillies who occasionally show up, and I think this might be the first time one of them was identified by name. Overall, while not among my favorite episodes, it was relatively okay.

Hard to believe how crazy it is that a simple mishap could lead to an immensely popular internet fad, and in this case, it's Sunny slipping and dumping her cart full of bananas all over herself, all while several bystanders happened to record videos of it. Sunny is understandably embarrassed (especially with how quickly it's being referenced practically everywhere), and most of her friends are unable to be of much help. Not surprisingly, it is Pipp with her extensive internet experience (particularly her own rather numerous fail moments) who is able to come up with the idea to help Sunny overcome her embarrassment by embracing the ongoing popularity of bananas to sell banana smoothies.

With Zipp frequently declining to join in various activities with her friends, Pipp challenges her to do a "Yes Day" challenge, where she has to say yes to anything she is asked to do. Zipp ultimately accepts the challenge, and participates in all kinds of activities with her friends. By the end of the day, she admits that she had a lot of fun and decides to be more open to doing things with her friends. For me, this was a rather okay episode, though I will admit that I also have a habit of declining to do things with others, but unlike Zipp, I can't see myself ever doing something as crazy as a "Yes Day" challenge.

So it seems that with so many ponies moving to Maretime Bay lately, the town has been faced with several problems resulting from the population boom, such as excessive trash in the streets and practically no traffic control. Once Sunny realizes how bad it's gotten, she asks her friends to help her clean up the town, but even with all five of them working together with tasks they're each good at, it's just too much for them to handle. Just when they're about to give up, practically everypony else in town, inspired by a video recorded by Pipp of Sunny's initial request for help, show up and eagerly offer to help clean up the town, and that effort proves to be much more successful. I have to say, It's actually been quite some time since we last saw an episode that confronted a real world problem in a realistic way, which is what made me appreciate this series in the first place. because of that, I will consider this to be among the better episodes.

Okay, a lot of new stuff to get through this week. First of all, issue 4 of the comic series came out yesterday, featuring Pipp (no extended preview, so I'll just link the announcement post):

Also among the comics, the G4 ponies will be getting a new miniseries, depicting them in the roles of "Little Women" (which I've honestly never heard of, so I can't say what that story is about):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined.html)

Also announced was a 10th anniversary special reprinting of the very first MLP comic, so that should be interesting for comic collectors:

In addition to all of that, we also got some new information regarding upcoming content for the Make Your Mark series on Netflix. First, a book that's coming out soon seems to reveal some new names, including possibly the name of the new villain:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/new-possible-name-revelaed-for-dark.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/new-possible-name-revelaed-for-dark.html)

As of now, the total amount of confirmed content we know of will be 23 episodes (22 minutes) and four specials (44 minutes), and that includes the 8 episodes that will be coming out one month from now:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/four-specials-and-23-episodes-confirmed.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/08/four-specials-and-23-episodes-confirmed.html)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMO9gPs8CpQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMO9gPs8CpQ)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Okay, this one was surprisingly emotional, because Sunny discovers an old film made by her father (who we already know is no longer around), and in it he explains the "family heirloom" found with that film is part of a special blanket and the other parts are found in Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood, so Sunny and her friends go out to find them, and recovering them requires all of them working together. Amazingly, once the three blanket parts are put together, it depicts all five of the main ponies and their respective homes, and Sunny realizes that what her father meant by "family" included her best friends. For me, I think there's no question this episode is definitely among my favorites, because not only did we get an opportunity to hear a message from the late Argyle Starshine (first time since the original movie), but also we saw that he somehow managed to foresee the accomplishments that his daughter would later achieve. That is really something special.

EDIT: After rewatching the episode, I managed to catch some details I missed the first time, like Argyle mentioning the first blanket fragment had been in his family for ten generations, and Queen Haven noting that the Zephyr Heights royal throne depicted on that first blanket fragment was how it had looked centuries in the past. With all of that in mind, Argyle was not the one who foresaw the Main 5 ponies coming together to bring magic back to Equestria, but rather someone from at least hundreds of years earlier, possibly as far back as the era of the G4 series. Even so, Argyle at least had enough to suspect his daughter would be the one to bring back magic, so it's still definitely something to keep in mind if any future seasons and episodes might reveal more about that now fully restored artifact, and how much Argyle really might have figured out about what Sunny would one day be capable of.

With Queen Haven's pet dog Cloudpuff gone missing, Pipp uses her social media connections to get practically everyone in all three towns searching for him. Zipp is able to use her detective skills to track down a clue in the Zephyr Heights post office. After putting together some more information shared by Queen Haven, it's revealed that Cloudpuff had accidentally ended up inside a care package that Queen Haven had mailed to Pipp and Zipp. And with Hitch unknowingly returning that package, Pipp, Zipp, and Queen Haven are able to receive the package at the post office and open it to find Cloudpuff. Although that dog is okay, he did consume some... not exactly edible substances inside that package, which ends the episode with some, uh, flatulence (bet you never expected to see anything like that in a My Little Pony episode). I consider this to be a rather average episode, because while there were a few good things (like seeing Zipp use a flying drone that works remotely like her special visor), I found several moments throughout the episode to be a little over the top.

I had so much going on today that I almost forgot to do my weekly post here. Though one benefit of being later than usual is that I'm able to share a bit of news revealed just today. It was just announced that there will be an official podcast series, hosted by Pipp (who else?) where she will chat with various other ponies (especially her close friends) to talk about all kinds of things. So, basically, it'll be an in-universe audio-only series that'll go alongside the official shows and potentially reveal some interesting things about the characters that we might otherwise not have a chance to hear about. Anyway, here's a two-minute trailer for that podcast:

If this series goes the way I think it probably will go, then I'll likely post links to each episode and follow those links with my comments under a spoiler tag.

And with that taken care of, here's this week's Tell Your Tale episode (and yes, as I had anticipated last week, this one is #25, so these episodes are being released in not quite the correct order sometimes):

All four of Sunny's friends have very different ideas for a party for her and somehow don't realize it until after everything has already been set up, so they agree to just go ahead with four separate parties, believing it will offer more fun than just one party. Though Sunny does have fun at first, getting pulled around four different places eventually overwhelms her and she calls for a stop to everything. As Sunny insists that all she really wants is to just have fun, her friends decide to combine all four themes into a single party. Some things in this episode I found notable were Izzy using a "glitter cannon" (adding more to her parallels with Pinkie Pie), Zipp has taken up roller skating as yet another physical activity she enjoys, and Hitch and Sunny did their "special hoofshake" for the first time since we first saw it near the beginning of the movie. Overall, it was interesting, but somewhat predictable, so I'll consider this episode around average.

We are now two weeks away from the release of the first eight episodes of Make Your Mark, a collection apparently being referred to as "Chapter 2" (so I guess "Chapter 1" refers to the single special that's been out for months now).

Spoiler: ShowHide
I'll keep this short and simple since the content covers a subject I have no interest in at all (but not the lesson). The secondary character that's focused on in this episode is Jazz from Pipp's Mane Melody, and Izzy takes her to Bridlewood to discover that possibilities are much greater when you allow yourself to get fully creative. A good lesson, but the specific subject matter utilized in this episode is just not for me.

Just one more week left to go until the first eight episodes of Make Your Mark come out, and a preview clip was recently shared:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZN2Q50_fsU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZN2Q50_fsU)

In other news, all of the songs from Make Your Mark Chapter 2 are apparently now available to listen to:

I decided to not listen to those songs, as I'd rather wait until the episodes come out so I can understand the full context of them. However, I did watch a small collection of video clips (without audio) that were released along with those songs:

One thing I forgot to mention last week is that a synopsis for issue 8 of the comics was released:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/my-little-pony-g5-comic-8-gets-synopsis.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/my-little-pony-g5-comic-8-gets-synopsis.html)

Also, some pages from an upcoming book could possibly provide a hint of what to expect from the holiday special that'll be out in a few months:

Although it released a few days early in some other language, I decided to wait until the official release for this week's Tell Your Tale episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elBcVfkyJWI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elBcVfkyJWI)

Spoiler: ShowHide
For the second week in a row, I'll just come out and say that I'll never be able to enjoy any content that features any beauty products. That subject is just not for me at all. That aside, I'm with Sunny on the idea that essentially stalking your fans is probably not a good idea, despite the ultimately positive outcome from this case. As far as I'm concerned, the only real positive from this episode is that we finally got the names of all three of those fillies who we've seen several times in previous episodes. Overall, this episode was kind of okay, but it's definitely not one of any interest to me.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on September 25, 2022, 10:15:19 PM
A few days ago, a compilation video was released showing four clips (each about two minutes long) from what I assume to be two episodes of the Make Your Mark series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsYDOc0c_WQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsYDOc0c_WQ)

Well, tomorrow is the big day. The first eight episodes of the Make Your Mark series will be released all at once (as is typical of Netflix). Here's what I've decided to do tomorrow; I plan to watch all eight episodes on the same day, but as I finish watching each episode, I will edit this post to provide a brief summary and my initial thoughts on those episodes (all of it kept behind spoiler tags for those of you who would rather take your time with watching these episodes). So, if you're interested to hear what I have to say about Make Your Mark: Chapter 2, be sure to check back on this post a day or two later. All right, here we go...

1: Izzy Does It
Spoiler: ShowHide
Izzy struggles to figure out what to craft for a birthday present for Sunny (leaving Hitch and Zipp to frequently clean up after her), but soon stumbles across a bracelet that Sunny decides to wear in her mane. Later, when Izzy meets Pipp at the craft fair in town, Pipp shares online about the gift Izzy made for Sunny and very quickly many other ponies want one as well, which almost immediately overwhelms Izzy. With Izzy struggling with her creativity, Pipp advises "make it the same, but better" and "listen to your fans", but as Pipp struggles to come up with a new song, Izzy's suggestion of following her own advice makes her realize how terrible that advice was. When Izzy next goes to Sunny for help, Sunny suggests "go back to your roots", which Izzy interprets are returning to her old home in Bridlewood. However, along the way, Izzy stumbles across an old moped scooter abandoned on the side of the road, so she decides to take it back to Maretime Bay and fixes it up, allowing her to conveniently solve the clutter issue she had been causing for her friends. Meanwhile, a blue unicorn named Misty sneaks into town and leaves behind some kind of compact mirror for Sunny, which will allow the evil alicorn in a distant dark castle to spy on Sunny and her friends, though apparently not when they're within the Crystal Brighthouse.

Well, there sure was quite a lot going on right in the very first episode. I really liked how this episode almost immediately begins asking the kinds of questions I'm sure many fans have been asking for a while, such as why the cutie marks always seems to glow whenever ponies do something that makes them very happy. I also liked that little detail of those glasses Izzy briefly wore in A new Generation are in fact her "crafting glasses", so we'll likely be seeing them again throughout the series. In addition, it's nice to see where Izzy got her moped scooter from (though now that I think about it, it does seem to cause a continuity conflict between this episode, the Tell Your Tale episode about dumpster diving, and the original Make Your Mark special). Also, despite being completely absent in Tell Your Tale (at least as far as we've seen for now), it's good to see that the baby dragon is still around, and that it was Hitch who had decided to name him Sparky Sparkaroni. And finally, we're starting to get a few clues about the evil alicorn Opaline, her unicorn assistant Misty (who apparently lacks a cutie mark), and some hints on what really happened to all the magic in Equestria. Overall, a nice start to the series.


2: Growing Pains
Spoiler: ShowHide
With the recently introduced earth pony magic causing some issues around town, Hitch declares all magic to be completely forbidden until he has a chance to come up with some new regulations to better manage it, despite Sunny's protests. While Hitch is busy, Izzy agrees to stay at the sheriff's station to watch over Sparky. However, his efforts to suppress earth pony magic end up causing it to go completely out of control, and he instinctively reacts by deciding to separate the Unity Crystals to remove magic, but after much persuasion from his friends, he thankfully comes to his senses at the last second. Hitch ultimately allows the earth ponies to use their magic, with advice from Sunny to focus that magic, and all of the out of control plants all over town are quickly cleared out. Hitch further learns about too many rules being a bad thing when Izzy admits she and Sparky had a good time together only after she decided to stop following Hitch's guidelines, which allows the Main 5 to discover Sparky has magic as well.

Quite a few interesting appearances throughout this episode. First of all, we finally saw Sprout for the first time since A New Generation, who has apparently been demoted to a janitor outside the Canterlogic building (and also seems to have exceptionally strong earth pony magic). By the end of this episode, the Main 5 are now aware of Sparky's magic power, which is apparently dragon breath that can transform objects into completely different things (with a second burst turning those objects back to normal). Of course, the really big moment of this episode is the holographic message from Twilight Sparkle, which the Main 5 see from the Unity Crystals. In that message, Twilight states that with her anticipation that earth ponies would gain magic for the first time ever, Equestria would have more magic than ever before, but some new kind of evil wants to take it all for themselves. However, due to parts of the message glitching out, the five ponies listening are unable to understand who that new evil is, or what exactly Twilight did to prevent the magic from being stolen. Speaking of evil, it seems the evil alicorn Opaline is such a narcissist that she is surprised Sunny is very rarely looking onto that spy mirror, thus restricting how much information she can gather. Overall, while not exactly putting Hitch in a good light, he does ultimately learn from the experience, so I'd call this a relatively good episode.


3: Portrait of a Princess
Spoiler: ShowHide
The royal pegasus Portrait Day is coming up, and while Pipp is obviously excited, Zipp is not interested at all and would rather continue investigating the holographic message from Twilight Sparkle. Meanwhile, as requested by Opaline, Misty comes up with a plan to lead Zipp and Pipp into a trap. Queen Haven arrives at Mane Melody to prepare for the portrait with her daughters, but when Zipp is anonymously sent an image of an incredibly rare ocean lily (just like what they wore in an earlier family portrait), she decides searching for it is a good enough excuse to leave, and even convinces Pipp to join her, leaving Sunny behind to prevent Queen Haven from noticing their absence. As the search leads to the beach, with Zipp trying to focus on the search and Pipp busy taking selfies (and thus risking their mom finding out what they're really up to), the two sisters begin to argue a lot. When they finally find the ocean lily and end up trapped inside a cave, their arguing gets so heated that Zipp admits she never wanted to be part of the portrait at all, which leave Pipp devastated and Zipp quickly feels guilty. They are soon able to talk things over and apologize to each other, then they work together to find a way out of the cave. Once they escape, they quickly fly to Zephyr Heights just in time for the portrait.

At this point, it's becoming clear this series does in fact seem to follow some major story arc, while each episode focuses on something else specific to that episode. While we've always known just how different Pipp and Zipp are, I will say that it's astonishing just how hostile to each other they eventually got before ultimately apologizing. Also notable about this episode was that we heard two songs, one from Zipp and Pipp, and one from Queen Haven. Not much else to say about this episode, though the hint of what Opaline plans to do next doesn't bode well for Sunny in the next episode...


4: Ali-Conned
Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunny tries to encourage everyone in town to have a healthier diet, especially now that earth pony magic makes it easy to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. However, no one besides her friends are interested, but when her attempt at an inspiring speech causes her to turn into her alicorn form, everyone suddenly becomes very interested in everything she says and does. The spy mirror allows Opaline to see this, so she comes up with a plan to convince Sunny to join her side by playing an "inner voice" through the mirror to encourage her alicorn power. Despite this, Sunny realizes that no one is really interested in her messages and only care about "the alicorn", so she runs home in tears, where Izzy and Zipp remind her that at least her friends will always support her for who she is, and they surprise her with a backyard garden similar to the type of community garden that she had been advocating for. When Sunny is so excited by that garden that she once again turns into an alicorn, she and her friends realize that she can activate her alicorn form only when she is being true to herself, which is spreading messages of hope and friendship to make the world better for everyone. While all of that was going on, Pipp is upset that her latest content is getting so few views, but when she notices videos of Sparky have become popular, she asks Hitch to watch over Sparky, giving her a chance to figure out what makes the baby dragon popular that she can use for herself, and after much trial and error, she eventually concludes that she doesn't need to be perfect to be popular and just needs to be herself.

I'll admit, I was fearing some cringe moments when Opaline seemed preparing to impersonate Sunny, but thankfully her efforts were limited to the mirror, Misty's efforts out in person weren't much more effective, and Sunny ultimately proved to be too much of a nice pony to fall for such evil manipulation. Even better, the way Sunny's alicorn magic activates means that it's essentially impossible for her to abuse those powers, which I'm sure she's perfectly okay with that. I remember when A New Generation was first revealed and one of the first things we learned about Sunny was that she was an activist that wanted to make the world a better place in any way she could, so it was nice to see that side of her is still proactive, even after her success with reuniting the three pony tribes. I didn't care much for the secondary focus on Pipp in this episode, though at least she learned the same basic lesson as Sunny did, which is that you'll be happiest where you just be yourself. Overall, while not a great episode, it certainly could've been much worse.


5: The Cutie Mark Mix-Up
Spoiler: ShowHide
After some difficulties with opening the community garden, Sunny and Hitch argue over how their respective duties are more difficult than the other, and a burst of dragon fire from Sparky causes them to switch cutie marks (and personalities), which they don't notice until Zipp points it out to them. After they explain to Zipp what they did prior to the swap, she suggests they try each other's duties, so Hitch agrees to work the smoothie cart while Sunny agrees to help manage all the critters that had panicked from the garden opening and fled into the Crystal Brighthouse (where Izzy and Pipp have been struggling with those critters). Zipp continues to observe the results, and after witnessing their struggles, she tricks them into meeting with each other, allowing them to mutually agree both of their responsibilities have their difficulties that only they are best suited at, and after performing their special hoof-shake, their cutie marks and talents swap back to normal. Meanwhile, Opaline took advantage of the critter chaos to send a magical mouse into the Crystal Brighthouse, allowing her to discover Sunny's lantern and becomes convinced that it's a source of power.

While the concept of this episode is nothing new (even G4 MLP had an episode use such a theme), this episode was rather okay to me. Nothing of significance really stood out, but there also wasn't much that I consider to be anything terrible. Also, seems one of my initial thoughts of the previous episode was wrong, that the garden they established really is a community garden for many earth ponies to practice their magic. As for Opaline, I'm really beginning to suspect that her beliefs in magic and especially alicorn magic could be horribly misguided.


6: The Traditional Unicorn Sleep-Over
Spoiler: ShowHide
Izzy stumbles across Misty sneaking through Maretime Bay and is so excited about the possibility of making her first unicorn friend that she quickly invites her to a sleepover at the Crystal Brighthouse. When Misty returns to Opaline to inform her of the encounter, Opaline allows Misty to attend the sleepover, seeing it as a perfect opportunity to steal that magic lantern. Later that night, Misty arrives to spend the night with Izzy, Sunny, Pipp, and Zipp, though Zipp is quick to suspect something isn't right about their new unicorn friend. Misty struggles to maintain her lie of being a native to Bridlewood, and at one point accidentally reveals too many secrets and flees in panic. Izzy is devastated that her sleepover ended poorly, but her friends decide to make it up to her by listening to her explain everything she loved about Bridlewood, then surprise her by redecorating their shared bedroom to resemble a Bridlewood home. At the same time, Misty is able to calm her nerves and return to the Brighthouse to resume the sleepover. A little later when everyone is asleep, Misty uses the spy mirror (which she has to use while leaning out of a window because it won't work inside the Brighthouse) to inform Opaline that while she failed to find the magic lantern (somehow missing it in plain sight), she does at least have some new information to share, though some not as useful as others. However, Zipp wakes up and overhears part of the conversation...

While Misty's frequent stammering to hide her true intentions was a bit much for me, I did appreciate that Zipp was smart enough to almost immediately be suspicious of Misty, though at least she tried her best to not hurt Izzy's feelings in the process. However, what I especially liked about this episode was the story Sunny told, which revealed quite a few interesting hints for those of us who have wondered how G4 Equestria turned into the divided lands we saw in A New Generation, with some more possible hints revealed in the alternate version that Misty unwittingly shared. In addition, we saw more evidence that Izzy never really had any friends at all before she met Sunny (which I forgot to mention had also been hinted at back in the first episode), and especially had never had any unicorn friends at all. Overall, while not the best episode, it certainly proved important to the story arc of this series.


7: Hoof Done It?
Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty attempts to steal Sunny's lantern, but is forced to hide it in the garden when she accidentally makes too much noise in her escape. The next morning, Zipp discovers the lantern is missing from its special case, and immediately informs Sunny. Zipp quickly gets to work searching for clues, informing Pipp about the mystery along the way. As Pipp heads out, she stumbles across the lantern buried in the garden and considers giving it directly to Zipp, but after seeing how excited Zipp is with investigating, Pipp decides to keep her going by hiding the lantern herself and leaving behind some obvious clues. Misty then returns to the garden, only to find the lantern is gone, and then is forced to make excuses to avoid confronting Zipp. As Zipp continues her search through town, she gets Izzy to confess that she took the lantern out into the garden at night for something to help her sleep better and then returned it to Sunny's bedside. After struggling to find any more evidence, Zipp encounters Misty and with Misty struggling to dodge Zipp's questions, Zipp chases Misty through town and corners her inside Mane Melody, where Pipp confesses she has the lantern to stop Zipp from seemingly incorrectly accusing Misty. Zipp apologizes to Misty for suspecting her of taking the lantern, then Zipp, Pipp, and Izzy meet up with Sunny and Hitch to inform them they found the lantern, with Pipp acknowledging that she should no longer try to be discrete just for the sake of keeping Zipp searching. Later, Opaline is furious at yet another failure by Misty, and decides to go after a different kind of magic, specifically dragon magic from Sparky...

So it seems Misty did eventually find the magic lantern and make an attempt to take it. Though we all saw what really happened, I have to admit that the way the clues ultimately fell together made pretty convincing evidence that Misty had nothing to do with the loss of the lantern (except for the part where the lantern was taken from Sunny's bedside and ended up back in the garden). Astonishing to think that if Pipp had not stumbled upon that lantern in the garden, Zipp might have actually caught Misty in the act of retrieving it, and the events of this episode could have ended very differently. Also, it was neat to see a number of things that we've previously seen only in Tell Your Tale, such as all of Zipp's detective equipment in action (especially the visor), and Izzy riding around town on her moped scooter. Overall, I found this to be quite a fun episode.


8: Have You Seen This Dragon?
Spoiler: ShowHide
Hitch wakes up and suddenly discovers that Sparky has gone missing, and immediately asks all of his friends to help find him. They all try their various methods of searching for the baby dragon, but their lack of coordination makes their efforts impossible. Meanwhile, Misty had captured Sparky and was able to hide themselves inside a storage room in the Crystal Brighthouse (which Izzy chose to ignore for seemingly being too cluttered, but only because Misty had piled up that stuff to block the door), but her struggles to get Sparky under control prevents her from making any escape attempts with the baby dragon, though she does get lucky enough to catch a bit of his dragon fire inside a jar. The Mane 5 eventually agree on a single unified plan to find Sparky by signing a lullaby and listening for any dragon noise, allowing them to find him in the storage room in the Brighthouse. Misty is able to escape without being seen and delivers the dragon fire to Opaline, but it's barely enough for only a brief burst of power, so Opaline is left only with the desire to some day capture that baby dragon so she can truly regain her lost powers. Later, Izzy presents to her friends an old tram car that she plans to fix up for all of them to use together.

I honestly don't have much to say about this episode, though I will note that Hitch eventually going full-on vigilante (complete with mask and cape and raspy Batman-style voice) was somehow both scary and funny at the same time. Perhaps the most significant part of this episode was near then end, when Opaline stated her belief that alicorns should rule as the master race over all other ponies, and that Twilight Sparkle (who declared that ponies of all kinds should be treated equally) had stopped her past efforts, including placing some kind of isolation shield over Equestria (or at least the part of it we've seen so far in this series). So while this collection of episodes doesn't end with a definitive conclusion, it certainly provided plenty entertainment and incredible lore to keep us coming back for more.


All right, that's all of them finally complete. And, of course, please feel free to share your thoughts on these episodes, once you've had a chance to watch them.

Make Your Mark: Chapter 2 has begun.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on September 29, 2022, 08:45:15 PM
For those of you who don't have Netflix, the entire first episode of Make Your Mark Chapter 2 is available to watch on YouTube (but don't expect the same for any of the other episodes):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8aaIWLXtI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8aaIWLXtI)

The MLP game on Roblox I mentioned a couple weeks ago is now available to play:

Issue 5 of the comics came out yesterday, so here's a five page preview:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/five-page-preview-for-my-little-pony-g5.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/five-page-preview-for-my-little-pony-g5.html)

Also just out yesterday is the first episode of the podcast series, so here's a link to where I listened to it:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/my-little-pony-podcast-episode-1-meet.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/09/my-little-pony-podcast-episode-1-meet.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Following what I presume will be the standard structure for this audio series, Pipp and Jazz started off by doing a brief singalong and dance (not surprisingly, this first episode featured the song "Mane Melody" that we've heard many times in Tell Your Tale), followed by an interview with the special guest (which for this episode was Sunny Starscout, talking mostly about how great everything has been since magic returned and what it's been like for her to have become an alicorn), then came a segment called "Pipp tries it" (for this episode, Pipp and Sunny are challenged to make their own smoothies from a wide range of ingredients to choose from (some good, some terrible) all while blindfolded, and let's just say the results were predictably awful for both of them), and finished off with a very quick question and answer round with the special guest (Sunny got through just three questions, and I've already forgotten what they were). Overall, it was interesting enough that I'll continue to listen to the rest of the upcoming episodes as they come out.


And as usual, here's this week's Tell Your Tale episode, and with this being the first one to come out after the release of Make Your Mark Chapter 2, it includes a number of things featured in that series (in fact, I'd go so far as to say that watching all eight of those Make Your Mark episodes will make it much easier to understand some things in this episode):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1glTJx0dhcA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1glTJx0dhcA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
I assume this takes place shortly after the eighth and final episode of Make Your Mark Chapter 2, because not only is Hitch trying to be extra protective of Sparky the baby dragon (especially since that final episode was about Sparky having gone missing), but also Misty is sneaking around town to observe Sparky in hopes of satisfying Opaline's demand to obtain power from dragon fire. This episode certainly had quite a lot of funny moments as Hitch tried to prove himself as an excellent caretaker with some strict rules and Sparky managing to completely counteract all of them, while Misty was somehow never seen by anyone as she found herself on the receiving end of numerous slapstick moments. Not to mention, it was neat to see Sparky, Misty, and even Opaline in the Tell Your Tale art style for the first time. Overall, a nice episode to get back into Tell Your Tale after watching all of Make Your Mark Chapter 2.


Finally, I'd like to note that, from what I've seen, a lot of fans consider Make Your Mark Chapter 2 to be an improvement compared to the previous special, with episode 3 being a particular favorite among many. If you're able to, then I would absolutely recommend watching those eight episodes, and please feel free to share your thoughts on those episodes.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread
Post by: The Chronicler on October 06, 2022, 08:50:41 PM
Not much additional stuff to share this week, so just the weekly new releases. First, this week's episode of the new podcast series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/second-episode-of-pipps-podcast.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/second-episode-of-pipps-podcast.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The special guest for this episode was Izzy, who was brought in prior to the singalong and dance segment because the song used in this episode was Izzy's trash song from episode 12 of Tell Your Tale (which of course she loved very much). The interview with Izzy focused on her passion for "unicycling" and her desire for everyone to minimize their environmental impact. Then after an in-universe product placement for some breakfast cereal, Izzy demonstrated a rather simple "unicycling" craft to create essentially a homemade maraca (especially neat is how it's explained in a way that kids listening to this can easily do it themselves), and then the episode finished with the rapid question and answer segment for a total of five questions (among which "glitter or no glitter" seems like it'll be one of the more common questions for this segment). Overall, another interesting episode, and I especially liked how part of it was intended to be interactive with the target audience.


And here's this week's episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xk0lo1ATU8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xk0lo1ATU8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
First of all, this particular video somehow includes five other episodes after the actual new episode, so don't bother with letting it continue playing past the end credits after five minutes. Anyway, looks like the Nightmare Night holiday from G4 has endured into G5, and I liked some of the costumes everypony wore to the party (especially Sunny as Nightmare Moon). While all of that is going on, Misty arrives with the same pendant from last week's episode, which allows Opaline to remotely observe things in hopes of seeing the various magic of those other ponies in action. Misty then discreetly sabotages the party to cause the ponies to use their magic to resolve the chaos, which impresses Opaline. Quite notably, although the main five are familiar with Misty, they are still unaware of her (reluctantly) evil intents, despite Zipp remaining suspicious of her, so I guess that'll continue to be the status quo for the foreseeable future. Overall, a relatively good episode that I enjoyed watching.


EDIT: And since compilation videos seem to be frequent on the official MLP YouTube channel, here's one showing some scenes from episodes 2, 1, and 4 of Make Your Mark chapter 2:

A karaoke version of the song from last week's Tell Your Tale episode came out not long after the episode itself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLT4aSurqCg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLT4aSurqCg)

For those of you who are unable to watch Make Your Mark on Netflix, the official YouTube channel of My Little Pony has shared another compilation video, this one showing clips from just episode 3:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xUPCTS6SnE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xUPCTS6SnE)

Now for the real new stuff, starting with this week's episode of Pipp's Podcast:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-3-of-pipps-podcast-releases.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-3-of-pipps-podcast-releases.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
After a somewhat chaotic start due to the scheduled guest star failing to show up, Pipp and Jazz are able to quickly salvage the episode by having Jazz play the role of host and Pipp as the role of guest. Following the in-universe product placement for some perfume, the show gets underway for real, where Pipp reveals how she became such a talented singer and dancer and why she decided to open her salon business Mane Melody. The activity for this episode was a game call "Word-Up" where they listen to the melody of a song and they have to correctly sing the lyrics, with a wrong answer resulting in a bucket of slime being dumped onto them (which of course both mares find disgusting). After that, the episode ends with Pipp answering the same bunch of quick questions as the previous episodes ended with (confirming that they will be the exact same final questions that will be quickly asked to all of the special guests in every episode). Overall, while I'm disappointed we didn't get Zipp in this episode (probably in a later episode instead), it was still nice to at least learn a little backstory about Pipp that I've always wondered about.


And though it briefly leaked a day early, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BVaiYFyYfA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BVaiYFyYfA)

First of all, it seems the new standard format for these videos will be the actual new episode followed by five random older episodes, which seems completely weird to me, as I'd rather just watch the single new episode on its own (especially since they're all supposed to be only five minutes long). Anyway, with this being another episode based around Nightmare Night, I guess this means the Halloween theme will be used for all the new episodes we'll see this month (to which I must admit the creators of this show seem to be very good lately with knowing exactly when each episode is supposed to release and understanding the proper context and content for such perfect timing). As for the episode itself, there's no longer any doubt that Pipp really does get a thrill from seriously spooky things, which inspires Misty to arrange a haunted house attraction in an effort to capture Sparky. Some of the gags were fine (like Sparky's dragon fire turning Poesy's flowers into spaghetti and leading to yet another moment where Poesy gets furious at Izzy, and of course the old Scooby Doo doors reference as Misty is chasing Sparky through the house), while some other gags seemed a little too excessive for me (such as Opaline's garlic breath and Sparky at one point actually farting his dragon fire). In the end, another failure for the villains, but with the added humiliation of Pipp sharing how much she liked the haunted house and now everyone in town wants to view the attraction, much to Misty's dismay. Overall, there were some aspects of this episode that I certainly liked, but definitely some other parts that just didn't really appeal to me.

First up, a confirmation that next year's content for Make Your Mark will include two seasons and two specials:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/2-seasons-and-2-specials-for-my-little.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/2-seasons-and-2-specials-for-my-little.html)

For the comics, the synopsis of issue 9 has been revealed:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/my-little-pony-g5-comic-9-synopsis_20.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/my-little-pony-g5-comic-9-synopsis_20.html)

Here's a two-page preview of the next upcoming comic, issue 6:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/my-little-pony-g5-comic-6-2-page-itunes.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/my-little-pony-g5-comic-6-2-page-itunes.html)

With that out of the way, here's this week's episode of Pipp's Podcast:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-4-of-pipps-podcast-releases-its.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-4-of-pipps-podcast-releases-its.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Things started rather chaotically when a bunch of critters unexpectedly show up, and after Hitch arrives and speaks with them, it turns out they had assumed all of them were invited when Pipp had intended to invite only Hitch and Sparky for the podcast. After getting the misunderstanding cleared up and all the critters being allowed to stay, they use the song and dance segment to clean everything up (too much noise for me to identify the song used). Once everything is back in order, Hitch talks with Pipp and Jazz about what it was like to discover his earth pony magic and his ability to talk to critters, as well as what it's been like caring for Sparky. Then, after the in-universe ad for the Maretime Bay Community Garden (good to hear about that), Hitch shares and demonstrates some of his methods of dealing with stress (he calls them "stress busters"), and finally finishing the episode with the usual five quick questions (at least now I'm starting to remember some of them, like favorite thing to eat and what they're reading right now). Overall, despite the messy beginning, it was a fine episode, with some advice on dealing with stress that I'm sure some people might find helpful.


Once again, this week's Tell Your Tale episode briefly leaked a few days early (so I guess it's become obvious which content of G5 will be most likely to leak), but regardless, here it is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6XRL7vnNAA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6XRL7vnNAA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So, basically, Jazz is asked to care for the critters while the Main 5 spend a night out, things get messy and chaotic for a while, but she eventually gets things under control by using her talents as a stylist. Definitely one of the weaker episodes, in my opinion, especially since Jazz failed to clean up after the critters despite successfully getting them to sleep by the end. And don't even get me started on the excrement (both reference and depiction, and here I thought two fart jokes within the last ten episodes was bad enough). Put simply, this series has taken a rather disappointing turn lately, and I really hope for something decent within the next few weeks.


As for Make Your Mark content being shared on MLP's official YouTube channel, it seems that instead of compilations of clips, they're now apparently going to show entire episodes (though I suppose we won't know for sure if that's true until next week). Here's the first episode of Make Your Mark chapter 2:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b9bQ7-0FRc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b9bQ7-0FRc)

I won't bother sharing my thoughts on these episodes again, since I already did that for all eight episodes back when they first became available on Netflix.

It’s because their target YouTube audience is parents who put something flashy on screen to distract their kid, and that requires vids at least 30 minutes long. The Land Before Time YouTube does the same thing.

It turns out the synopsis for one of the upcoming comics I shared last week may have actually been supposed to be for issue 10, with possibly the actual one for issue 9 shared here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOHqH1gjFKE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOHqH1gjFKE)
(There were also a few preview images shared as well, but I'm a little hesitant on sharing them since one of the images has a rather freaky animation error.)

Now for the weekly new content, starting with the new episode of Pipp's Podcast:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-5-of-pipps-podcast-releases.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/10/episode-5-of-pipps-podcast-releases.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
For this Nightmare Night special episode, the song and dance segment at the beginning (and end) obviously featured the similarly themed song from one of the recent Tell Your Tale episodes, and the in-universe advertisement in the middle featured Sunny's smoothie cart. This episode had multiple guests, starting with Izzy demonstrating how to carve a pumpkin lantern, then came Sunny to share her new "dark berry" smoothies, and finally Hitch and his critters arrive with some kind of beetle that makes spooky song noises (and if you're wondering why Zipp is the only one of this group to not show up, a text sent at the end of the episode reveals she had mistakenly thought the episode would be done a day later that it actually was, causing her to completely miss out). Overall, one of my favorite episodes of this series so far (though I'm still looking forward to when Zipp will finally make an actual appearance).


And here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZwAw6YRZ8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZwAw6YRZ8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
While not exactly Nightmare Night themed, it certainly featured a lot of giant pumpkins. As we all know by now, Sparky's dragonfire power can transform objects into different things and turn them back to normal when applied a second time, which for this episode results in Pipp getting trapped inside one of the pumpkins. And with Zipp accusing Pipp of always asking her online followers for help and not coming up with any original ideas on her own, this discourages Pipp from taking the obvious idea of using her phone to let the others know where she is. While it was nice to see the return of Izzy's chef bot from one of the earliest episodes, I do have to question how no one ever noticed Pipp inside the giant pumpkin and later inside a giant hollow pie, let alone how Pipp went through that whole process practically unscathed. And when everyone panicked during Pipp's effort to escape, at least Zipp was the first to realize what was really going on, and once Pipp was finally free, Zipp acknowledged that she shouldn't have been so harsh to Pipp about trying to solve problems without help. Overall, while certainly better than the most recent episodes, this one still seemed rather mediocre compared to the entire series.


And it looks like my hope of seeing full episodes of Make Your Mark on YouTube were false, because the next video released was yet another compilation of random clips from the first four episodes, scattered around so much that I won't even bother linking it here. Though a more recent video features the song from episode 3, so I will at least share that one:

Spoiler: ShowHide
The special guest for this episode was Queen Haven (who acknowledges that she has listened to every episode of this podcast), with Jazz being so excited to meet her that she ends up fainted for half of the episode. While it's just Pipp and Haven talking, it's revealed that Zipp has once again failed to show up for an episode she was invited to, and when that frustrates Pipp, Haven demonstrates her remarkable diplomatic skills by reminding Pipp that Zipp has also been frustrated by some of the things Pipp has done over the years, specifically citing Zipp's most recent birthday party where Pipp tried to arrange a karaoke (which anyone who knows Zipp would know she would absolutely hate that). After the song and dance segment (featuring the party song), Jazz recovers just in time to participate in one of Haven's favorite games called "Once Upon a Time" where everyone takes turns telling a story one word at a time, often resulting in some rather silly endings. Finally, the episode ends with the usual quick answer of the same five questions. Overall, a nice episode, though I'm starting to suspect the running joke of Zipp failing to show up could mean we might not hear from her until practically the final episode.


This week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8JP67e7O8Q (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8JP67e7O8Q)

Spoiler: ShowHide
We all know how obsessively creative Izzy can be, and when she is introduced to the concept of street art, she immediately and excitedly goes for it, even adopting the secret identity of "Sneaksy". Of course, it was almost inevitable there would be issues with how everyone would react to it, so while most welcome the new mystery artist, Hitch tries to strongly discourage it (especially after Queen Haven orders for one piece of wall art to literally be cut away and moved to Zephyr Heights, forcing the Main Five to rebuild and repaint that wall). Izzy soon understands why not even great art can be applied literally everywhere and the importance of permission for such popular works, so when she overhears Pipp's desire to have her own piece of Sneaksy art at Mane Melody, Izzy happily delivers on it. Overall, a rather good episode, and one I'm very grateful to see after the recent string of poor episodes.


As for Make Your Mark content on the official YouTube channel, while there's yet another compilation video of various clips from episode 3, there's also this video featuring a song from episode 7 (though the visuals are just a compilation of various clips from that episode):

Spoiler: ShowHide
The special guest for this episode was Posey Bloom, who you likely remember as the earth pony who complained the most against the return of magic during the Chapter 1 special of Make Your Mark. After the song and dance segment to help Posey calm her nerves (using the art song from last week's Tell Your Tale episode), Posey talks about how she initially hated magic because it brought so much change that it scared her and the earth ponies didn't have any magic at first, but once earth ponies got their magic, she was excited by how it made her gardening hobby so much easier (which she demonstrates to the point of getting a little carried away). After the in-universe advertisement for a promotional at Mane Melody, Posey decides to use all of the different flowers she had just grown for tea leaves, so the three mares try different combinations of tea (in the process, understanding that it's completely okay whether you decide to try something new and different or if you would prefer sticking with something plain and simple). After that, the episode ends with the usual quick answers to five questions (interestingly, Posey's favorite song turns out to be Izzy's trash song). Overall, while not exactly an exciting episode, it certainly was interesting to get a better idea of things from Posey's perspective.


And here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:

This episode featured a holiday called Harvest and Hugs Day (apparently their version of Thanksgiving), with the main dish being a carrot cake (which I suppose makes sense considering all ponies are vegetarians). I don't have much to say about how everything kept escalating into bigger problems (though I did like the revelation that Zipp still has a mini oven that she used to use a lot back when she was a filly). Eventually, Queen Haven explains the reason she loves this holiday so much is because it was a rare opportunity to have the entire extended family come together, and even shows a picture of herself with all those other relatives, so that was certainly nice to see. Thankfully, once the tension was out of the way, everyone was able to work together to improvise a meal for the holiday. Overall, a relatively nice episode that I enjoyed watching.

Only a few more days until the Winter Wishday special comes out, and late last week, we finally got an actual trailer for it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0eR5a6dNac (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0eR5a6dNac)

Another clip from the special also just came out today, featuring a song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Iz7PrQgfAo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Iz7PrQgfAo)

For the weekly content, here's the new episode of Pipp's podcast:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/11/episode-8-of-my-little-pony-podcast.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/11/episode-8-of-my-little-pony-podcast.html)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This episode featured three special guests, the three fillies Glory, Seashell, and Peach Fizz, who we know are huge fans of Pipp. (Personally, this is one of my least favorite episodes, mostly because I can't tell the difference between the voices of the three fillies, making it hard to follow unless they specifically mention one of them by name.) Obviously, they are so extremely excited to meet her that it takes some effort from Jazz and Pipp (including the song and dance segment featuring the bananas song) to finally get them to calm down. Among various things they talk about, the fillies mention that they first met each other during Pipp's very first performance at Mane Melody (courtesy of Peach Fizz spilling her smoothie), which makes sense considering they're different kinds of ponies and never would have known about each other before magic returned. The fillies then participate in a game of fan trivia, with the prize for correctly answering a question about Pipp being a backstage pass to Pipp's next concert. Glory and Peach Fizz correctly answer their questions, but Seashell didn't (technically, it was correct but incomplete), and since the other two refuse to go without her, they offer to give up their special passes they won. However, Pipp is so touched by their dedication of friendship to each other that she rewards them the third pass as well. After finishing the episode with the usual quick answering of the same five questions, it's mentioned that this will be the final episode of the season, so we'll have to wait and see if any more episode will come out sometime later. Overall, while definitely not among my favorite episodes, at least I appreciate hearing a little backstory about those three fillies. Also, if this really is the end of the first season, then I'm quite disappointed that Zipp never got to make an appearance at all, so I can only hope there will be a second season sometime in the near future.


And also, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:

Spoiler: ShowHide
I have to admit, Izzy and Zipp working together to fix up that old tram car and turn it into the Mare Stream flying RV is exactly the kind of episode I was hoping to see ahead of the Winter Wishday special, and it seems this came with perfect timing as it's literally the last one before the release of that special. While I knew that a runtime of just five minutes meant we were unlikely to see many specifics of how the work in progress would go, I did not expect the magical lantern would instantly magically transform a partially successful repair project into a fully finished technological wonder (kind of a cheep move, but that's literally the only thing I have against this entire episode). Interestingly, the montage of Izzy and Zipp working together (after they figured out that working separately was getting them nowhere) also includes the work song from one of the very earliest episodes of this series (when the Main Five renovated the Crystal Brighthouse). I also liked the additional parts, such as Izzy trying to fly by levitating a hang glider she's holding onto, as well as Izzy using a homemade parachute to prevent the vehicle from crash landing after accidentally disconnecting the magic lantern power source. Overall, definitely among my favorite episodes of the entire Tell Your Tale series.


The Winter Wishday special will be available to watch on Monday, so I'll make a separate post within a day or two of that to share a summary and my thoughts on it.

Winter Wishday will officially be available on Netflix tomorrow, so here's two more preview clips that have come out in the last few days:

I will update this post after I've had a chance to watch the special, so I can share my thoughts on it.
EDIT: and here it is...
Spoiler: ShowHide
Winter Wishday has arrived in Maretime Bay, and Sunny is eager to celebrate it with her friends for the first time. However, Hitch had promised to celebrate it with his Grandma Figgy, Izzy wants to celebrate Wishiehoof by going to Bridlewood and hanging an ornament on the wishing tree, and Pipp and Zipp have a royal obligation to perform in a concert to celebrate Wishentine. Not wanting to interfere with any of those plans, Sunny agrees for everyone to attend all of those celebrations before returning home in time to watch the Wishing Star. Visiting all those distant places in a single day seems impossible, until Izzy and Zipp decide to reveal a secret project they've been working on, which is converting an old tram car into a flying vehicle, and while it doesn't look like much at first, Sunny's magic lantern suddenly transforms it into a very spectacular vehicle that resembles an RV with wings, which Izzy decides to call the Marestream.

Despite what is apparently the first snowfall the coastal town of Maretime Bay has ever seen, the main ponies fly in the Marestream to their first destination, which is Grandma Figgy's house. Hitch explains to his friends that his grandma always wants everything done in a particular way for the holiday, but once they meet her, it quickly becomes clear that it's actually Hitch who insists on following the exact same holiday tradition, and that Grandma Figgy actually welcomes some changes, though the others are respectful enough to Hitch to play along with the traditions (while also doing some new things when he's not paying attention). After enjoying some hot cocoa, looking through a few photo albums, and building some gingerbread houses, the main ponies say goodbye to Grandma Figgy (who also allows Zipp to borrow a book about ancient holiday legends) and depart in the Marestream.

They next arrive in Bridlewood, and after Izzy provides everyone with scarves to protect against the colder than usual weather, they head to the Wishing Tree, where the unicorns each hang an ornament to supposedly ward off any misfortune. Despite her friends running on a tight schedule, Izzy takes some time to greet many of the other unicorns, using the traditional holiday greeting of "Frosty Feelings". Even after Izzy finally gets around to hanging her ornament, she's so pleased to see everyone that her friends practically have to drag her away just so they can leave on time.

After a terrifying flight through a blizzard to reach Zephyr Heights, Pipp gives some VIP tickets to the others so they can relax in a special suite at the theater before the royal Wishentine concert, while Pipp and Zipp follow their holiday tradition of window shopping with their mom, Queen Haven. After a while, it's time for the concert performance, and Zipp and Pipp (and their friends) are shocked to discover that it's been expanded to six acts. Once the royal performance is finally done, the main ponies try to rush back to the Marestream, but can't find it under the immense snowfall. They are soon able to find it, thanks to making a wish on Sunny's magic lantern, and once they climb inside, Zipp realizes that (according to the book she had borrowed) the blizzard is being caused by all the unicorns who are unaware their holiday greeting is actually a magic spell that brings cold weather.

To stop the blizzard, the main ponies rush back to Bridlewood and warn the now freezing unicorns about what they've been unknowingly unleashing. Izzy suggests changing the holiday greeting to "Warm Wishiehoof", and once enough unicorns start using it, the blizzard soon clears away. With that problem solved, the main ponies return to the Crystal Brighthouse just in time to watch the Wishing Star soar through the sky. Although none of them have any gifts to exchange, Sunny is just happy that they were all able to enjoy their holiday celebrations together.

First of all, I think it's fair to say that due to the three tribes being separate for a very long time, the old holiday known as Hearth's Warming (which celebrated the first unification of ponies) would have ended up forgotten, and in its place developed three different versions celebrated by each of the formerly separated tribes. The fact that some of the holiday songs even have the same melody but with different words would seem to indicate that. At Grandma Figgy's house, one moment that I found really notable was one of the photos we saw was when Sunny and her dad once celebrated Winter Wishday with Hitch and Figgy, which was really touching when you consider that Argyle is not around anymore. In Bridlewood, it was nice to see Alphabittle make his first appearance since the movie (not counting Tell Your Tale) along with that poet pony (who is apparently named Onyx), and that we apparently got to see some of those bunnycorn creatures (albeit quite different from how they're depicted in Tell Your Tale) as well. At Zephyr Heights, while I expected Zipp to dislike participating in the concert or wasting time with window shopping, I was quite surprised to see Pipp sharing the same feelings as well (I guess the urgency of going through all the other holiday celebrations in one day might've gotten to her). Some amusing things were the pegasus guards trying to pass off the decorative empty presents as containing clouds, and the concert running so long that almost everyone grew bored and tired by the end of it (except Queen Haven, who seemed to be the only one who remained enthusiastic the whole time). Finally, it should be noted that while we know unicorns are capable of many magic spells, we've thus far seen them only use levitation of objects, so this is virtually the first time that any of them became aware that their magic can do other incredible things, so it'll be interesting to see what other magic spells they might rediscover later on in the series.

Overall, a nice holiday special to close out the first year of new episodes, complete with a lesson in enjoying the holidays with friends and family regardless of how you celebrate them.

Aside from the release of Winter Wishday earlier this week, not much new significant things to share. No new episode of Pipp's Podcast, so I guess the first season of that series really is finished. Pretty much the only thing there is to share in this week's post is the new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR5Anw7wsA8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hR5Anw7wsA8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Since the Winter Wishday special mentioned that Maretime Bay had never had any significant snowfall before, of course one of the first Tell Your Tale episodes to follow that special was going to feature how the ponies who live there would react to it. While it's nice that almost everyone is able to have a good time in the snow, it seems Posey is once again the one earth pony who hates anything new, and often ends up subjected to all kinds of abuse along the way. At least Posey got a happy ending in this case thanks to Sparky, whose previous use of dragon fire around her didn't go so well, so it was certainly nice to see them getting along better this time. Also of note, I'm a little confused by the design of those pony versions of snowboards, where apparently the boots are not attached to the board at all.

Looks like we can expect the next few episodes to be holiday themed, with this one featuring Sunny going through a lot of effort to bake holiday cookies just like what each of her friends used to enjoy. It was interesting to see another example of the different cultures between the three pony kinds, with Grandma Figgy teaching to "bake with your heart", Alphabittle teaching a highly superstitious baking ritual, and a royal secret recipe locked inside a vault in the Zephyr Heights palace. I thought it was great that Sunny was ultimately successful after so many struggles and failures, so I would consider this one of the better episodes of this series.

Issue 7 of the comics was released this week, and here's a three-page preview of it:

And here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:

Another holiday themed episode, and this time we're back to the antics of Opaline demanding Misty to capture Sparky. After several gags, I knew right away that Misty had accidentally captured Cloudpuff instead of Sparky (and since Cloudpuff was wearing a sleeping mask the whole time, all the ponies and their friends still remain completely unaware that Opaline even exists). I'm also curious about exactly what kind of magic the main ponies had used while wishing on that wishing star at the beginning of the episode, so hopefully a future episode might further explain that. Not much else to say on this episode, so I'll consider this one as simply average.

I'll admit, I missed out on MLP when it had its moment in the spotlight. However, I am familiar with it due to my involvement with two of its fanworks. The first, and the one that also made me rediscover LBT, is Equestria at War, a total conversion modification for the WW2 grand strategy Hearts of Iron IV set in a magitech dieselpunk version of Gen 4's world, featuring complex narratives, politics, nation-building, and warfare:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1826643372 (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1826643372)

It's quite a fun play if you have HoI IV and it inspired me to create my own dieselpunk world, Paravian.

Another MLP story I've followed is an interactive fanfiction that crosses over with Cultist Simulator. The players vote on the actions of Velvet Covers, a noblemare who has been inducted into the occult world that hides behind Equestria's shiny exterior. She must brave the House of the Sun to find a way to save her world from annihilation:

MLP and cosmic horror is a strange combination, but it works quite well and I've taken some inspiration from it in The Lands Beyond, my upcoming Outer Wilds/LBT crossover quest also on Sufficient Velocity

Not much new to report this week. The second issue of the "Little Fillies" comic miniseries came out a few days ago, but I'm not going to bother posting a link for it because I can't help but feel like that particular comic series has proven to be of rather low quality.

Anyway, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgLnmIPZyrU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgLnmIPZyrU)

This episode obviously demonstrates the old Secret Santa tradition of giving a gift to someone without revealing to anyone who you are gifting to, only with Izzy being more dramatic with the concept and insisting that her friends should create their gifts instead of buying something. While they never directly revealed who gifted which gift, it was very easy to figure out who they were. While it was also obvious that the others are hardly as good with crafting as Izzy, at least some convenient dragon fire from Sparky vastly improved the gifts (except the one Izzy received, which she felt was already perfect as it was), so maybe we might see one or two of those items again at some point later in the series.

A few things regarding the comics, to start off. First, here's a two-page preview of issue 8 that'll be out in two weeks:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/two-page-preview-for-my-little-pony-g5.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/two-page-preview-for-my-little-pony-g5.html)

The synopsis for issue 11 has been released (and I must admit, it does sound kind of interesting):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/my-little-pony-g5-comic-11-gets-synopsis.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/my-little-pony-g5-comic-11-gets-synopsis.html)

And the comic that just released this week is a special 10th anniversary edition of the very first issue of the Friendship is Magic comic series, and included with it is a special short bonus comic:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-1.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2022/12/my-little-pony-friendship-is-magic-1.html)

With all of that out of the way, here's this week's Tell Your Tale episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESmfo8mS-EA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESmfo8mS-EA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Pipp attempts to show her followers everything she does all day, apparently in an effort to reach a hundred million followers, all because Hitch had once made an off-hand remark about Sparky possibly having that many followers if he had a social media account. Somewhat not surprisingly, Pipp exhausts herself to the point of falling sick in bed, and Hitch feels bad about unintentionally causing it, so he helps her to relax. While Pipp does in fact reach a hundred million followers thanks to Sparky recording that heartwarming moment, Hitch wisely puts away Pipp's phone to keep her mind off of social media so she can get some much needed rest. I think the lesson here of not working yourself too hard and taking time to care for yourself can apply to many of us (myself included in some ways) and not just social media influencers. Overall, easily one of the better episodes of this series, in my opinion.

Not much of interest this week, so I'll just go right to this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvM6xLstwVc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvM6xLstwVc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So, basically, two of the three Pippsqueak fillies get lost in the woods while everyone is gathering in Bridlewood for a fireworks display, and while everyone is eager to help search for them, the three tribes have their own ideas and don't even consider working together until Sunny gets everyone's attention by using her magical alicorn form and insists everypony must work together. Once Sunny finds the missing fillies, she guides everyone along a trail to help the fillies make their was out into the clearing where everyone is gathered. While it's interesting to see there are still lingering tendencies for the ponies to stick with their own kind and they must occasionally be reminded to work together, I personally thought the method of using "cutie mark glow" to mark the escape trail seemed a little too out there. Overall, not a bad episode, but not really a great one either.

I usually don't care at all for anything related to beauty products, but this episode did intrigue me a little because of Izzy offering to help Pipp by showing her the Bridlewood version of a spa, which mostly involves the use of mud from a special bog (which Izzy calls the "Spog"). Pipp is initially disgusted by it, but after accidentally leaving some of it on her hair for a while and seeing the results, she realizes how great it actually is, and becomes more open to endorsing it when Izzy provides her with some bottles of that mud that she had mixed with other ingredients to make it more visually appealing. (For those who dismiss Izzy for being too silly all the time, I would point to this as an example that she really does use some smarts and common sense at some moments.) Overall, despite covering a subject I'm never fond of, it was a rather decent episode.

I'm sure that us fans of LBT can easily remember which episode of the TV series uses a similar theme and lesson. ;)

The third part of the "Little Fillies" comic miniseries recently came out, but again I won't bother posting any links as what I've seen so far continues to be of rather poor quality.

There's some official guidebook due to release sometime next month, though apparently it's been released early in some places, so now we're aware that this book will present us with some new information that had previously never really been explained in any of the shows.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/sunnys-book-of-adventure-released-early.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/sunnys-book-of-adventure-released-early.html)

Surprisingly enough, no new episode of Tell Your Tale is on this week. Apparently, that series has now switched to a bi-weekly schedule, so the next episode won't be out until next week.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/theres-no-my-little-pony-tell-your-tale.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/theres-no-my-little-pony-tell-your-tale.html)

And just revealed today, the very first official suggestion that the new generation of MLP will eventually make their first appearance in Equestria Girls:

Well, there's practically nothing new this week worth mentioning. Apparently, the next new episode of Tell Your Tale won't be out until next week, for some reason. Also, Tell Your Tale episodes will eventually become available to watch on Netflix at some point later this year. And, uh... that's pretty much it.

Some interesting things to share this week. First, the synopsis for comic issue 12 has been revealed:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/synopsis-for-my-little-pony-g5-comic-12.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/synopsis-for-my-little-pony-g5-comic-12.html)

Also announced was the first of a series of special compilation comics from the G4 series featuring specific characters, starting with the best of Twilight Sparkle, which will be available in early May (though it should be noted there will not be anything new added in, so these will all be just reprints):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/my-little-pony-best-of-twilight-sparkle.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/my-little-pony-best-of-twilight-sparkle.html)

A few interesting things about G5 content has also been revealed, such as an official height chart, color chart, some lore behind each of the three settlements, some new information about each of the main five ponies, and more:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/official-size-chart-for-g5-ponies-and.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/01/official-size-chart-for-g5-ponies-and.html)

Finally, the unexpected hiatus of Tell Your Tale is already over, so here's the new episode (I guess they wanted to wait so it would premiere closer to the holiday being featured in it):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8QU-EmZs7s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8QU-EmZs7s)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So now we see another holiday from G4 continue in G5, and this time it's Hearts and Hooves Day. Izzy is very enthusiastic for that holiday, but with much of Maretime Bay seeming to care very little about it, Izzy quickly tries everything she can to encourage the spirit of the holiday, but her efforts only cause many problems throughout the town. Zipp eventually helps Izzy to understand it'll take time and a much more relaxed effort to convince other ponies that Hearts and Hooves Day would be worth celebrating. I've often noted how surprisingly realistic this show tends to portray various issues, and I'd consider this episode another excellent example, because it shows that if some people don't care much for a certain holiday, trying to repeatedly shove it in their faces will not make them appreciate it more, but rather is more likely to make them care even less about it. Overall, despite my personal preferences not being favorable for the featured subject, I'd consider this a rather good episode.

No new episode of Tell Your Tale this week, so it seems the new bi-weekly schedule could very well be true. We'll see for sure about that by next week.

Issue 9 of the comics was released this week, and it seems that after the last few issues featuring filler content, this issue will finally continue the main storyline of the series. Here are the preview pages (in separate posts, because neither of them include all of those pages):

The fourth and final part of the "Little Fillies" comic miniseries has released. Once again, I have no desire to share any links regarding that due to the poor quality and extensive "creative liberties" I've been seeing from that series, so I'm just glad it's finally over and hopefully they can move on to something better.

An official guidebook for G5 MLP has recently released, titled "Sunny Starscout's Book of Adventure", which basically describes Sunny's point of view from the events of the New Generation movie and the Make Your Mark series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/02/sunny-starscouts-book-of-adventure-my.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/02/sunny-starscouts-book-of-adventure-my.html)

Finally, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ2fX6kdNgk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ2fX6kdNgk)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So now we have an episode centered around the pony version of Carnival. Also, with Misty once again following Opaline's evil schemes, they try to use something called "blazeberries", the scent of which causes critters to become fiercely enraged. While the intended target of Sparky managed to avoid the effects with a perfectly timed sneeze, the resulting haze gets to all the other critters and they chase Hitch and Sparky into the abandoned Canter-Logic factory (always nice to see that place, especially since we've still yet to see the interior in the main series). Although the other main ponies are unaware of this due to getting ready for the festival, once they realize Hitch is missing, Zipp is able to figure out what happened, then brings her friends with her to help Hitch by using hair dryers to blow away the blazeberry fog and allow the critters to return to normal. Overall, not a favorite mine nor one that I dislike, so pretty much a rather decent episode in my opinion.


And since this confirms Tell Your Tale is now on a bi-weekly schedule, I will probably not bother posting an update at all next week, unless some other significant news comes out within the next week that's worth sharing.

https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/02/blog-post.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/02/blog-post.html)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWsIrhlXisE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWsIrhlXisE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So, yeah, Sparky has an upset stomach, much of the episode was spent on the main ponies trying everything they can to help him feel better, and just when Misty arrives to follow Opaline's order to kidnap that dragon, Sunny figures out the cure by blending together all of the various foods that Sparky's dragon fire had created into a single gross smoothie and feeds it to Sparky, resulting in that toxic gas being released all at once right in Misty's face. As I'm sure you can imagine, fans are already losing their minds over perhaps the most blatant fart joke yet seen in this series. Personally, while this episode is hardly among my favorites, I just don't really hate it that much, so I guess it really depends on whether or not you can handle seeing one fart joke.

Issue 10 of the G5 comics came out last week, finally concluding the first major story arc. here's a five-page preview:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuAwT-9QCpQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuAwT-9QCpQ)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunny wants to introduce new smoothie flavors to everyone, but struggles to get anyone to even try anything other than their usual orders. She decides to make it easier for everyone to try new flavors by utilizing Izzy's baker bot, but a test run with her friends causes the robot to overload and start spraying smoothies all over town. They attempt to minimize the mess by simply eating the smoothies flying around before they hit anything, and once the robot finally shuts down, they discover they actually like the new flavor that essentially is a bit of everything, which they decide to call the "alicorn special". I will say that as silly as things got with that malfunctioning smoothie robot, it could've been much worse (let's just say the consequence of excessive consumption doesn't appeal to everyone, so I'm glad we didn't really see that here). Also interesting to note is that Misty got to be included with Sunny's friends, all without any interference from Opaline demanding yet another crazy scheme to kidnap Sparky, so this was actually quite a nice change of pace for that particular pony. Overall, a relatively good episode.

And now we have an Easter special episode, though here it's a Zephyr Heights tradition known as the Royal Eggstravaganza involving bunnies that hide chocolate eggs until some talking rabbit named Eggmund Bunny declares the egg hunt open. However, Eggmund has gone missing, so Zipp and Hitch go searching for him, and eventually find him overwhelmed with caring for so many baby bunnies. Hitch sympathizes with him due to his own struggles with caring for Sparky and they're able to convince Eggmund to return to Zephyr Heights to resume his royal duty for the holiday. I have to say... I was not expecting to see anything quite like this, and that's honestly all I can really think of that's worth saying. Overall in my opinion, one of the more out there episodes, but not really bad, though the lesson regarding being overwhelmed with parenting probably could've been delivered a little better.

Once again, Misty struggles to do Opaline's bidding, this time failing in an attempt to steal the Unity Crystals, succeeding only in cutting through the window before accidentally alerting the other ponies with the sound of broken glass. Misty escapes, but Zipp quickly identifies that someone had attempted to steal those crystals. Sunny takes this as a warning that someone is threatening to take away magic, so she decides to take responsibility as "The Alicorn" and practice all of her alicorn abilities with help from her friends. After a long training montage that ends with success for Sunny, the main ponies discover Misty hiding in a nearby bush, but while they all still regard her as a friend despite her cowardly escape, Zipp starts to get suspicious when she notices some glass fragments in that bush. I actually liked this episode, despite much of it being spent on that training montage, because to me it felt like this was one of those rare episodes that seemed to take the whole series forward another step. Specifically, Opaline has now demanded Misty to do something besides capture the baby dragon, and Zipp now has reason to suspect Misty really has been up to no good after all this time. Overall, I would in fact rank this among my favorite episodes of this series.

A special comic for MLP's 40th anniversary will be coming out in December later this year, and it will consist of three different stories, which are summarized here:

And here's the new episode of Tell Your Tale (and somehow, this is the first time I've been aware of an alternate YouTube channel exclusively for this series, and unlike the main MLP channel, this one actually releases the new episodes as single videos on their own and not as the start of a compilation with several older episodes):

So this episode is pretty much all about the various things Opaline does at her castle whenever she's not busy demanding Misty to do certain tasks. It starts out with a villain song (to be expected, I suppose), but gradually gets into some more silly events. As for Misty, the brief moments we see her shows her pretty much just having a good time with the main five ponies, and while Opaline is still obsessed with capturing Sparky to regain her power, it seems that at least on this occasion her demand to Misty was simply to bring her a smoothie. Overall, not much was really revealed and not much really happened, so I'd consider this a rather average episode.

Spoiler: ShowHide
"Mare's Day" has come again, and Zipp and Pipp have once again planned a special day with their mother Queen Haven, but those plans get disrupted again, this time from Haven having already made her own plans with Alphabittle. Honestly, the shipping fuel between Haven and Alphabittle was very strong in this episode, and as you might expect, Zipp and Pipp don't exactly take it very well. With Haven insisting on spending time with the big unicorn, his unexpected inclusion predictably causes problems for everything Zipp and Pipp had planned, and in the end, Haven reminds her daughters that the purpose of a good time is not what they do but just spending time with the ones they enjoy being with, which prompts them to apologize for their poor attitudes all day. For me, certainly not among my favorites and it was full of moments that I was not really fond of, but at least I wouldn't consider it unwatchable. I guess it really depends on what kind of humor you enjoy watching.

Big news to share this time! We finally have some information about the next new episodes of Make Your Mark! It is now confirmed that "Chapter 4" will consist of six 22-minute episodes and one 44-minute special (so essentially the same amount of content as Chapter 2 had), and will be officially released on June 6.

First up, a one minute preview clip was released last week:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqW3_ZS3O5U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqW3_ZS3O5U)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The main five ponies prepare for a vacation to Ponytropico, but as they fly their Marestream vehicle to the ferry dock, they get caught in a storm and the vehicle loses power. Now stuck in the middle of a swamp, they decide to just make the most of their time off right where they are, and their strengthened friendship is able to power up the lantern that powers the vehicle, allowing them to continue on their way. Unfortunately, they just miss the last ferry, but despite missing out on their planned vacation, they instead decide to return to the swamp to continue all the various activities they had been doing previously. What I find a little ridiculous about this episode is how they seem to just give up on the planned vacation when they miss the ferry, as if the Marestream (a flying vehicle) was somehow incapable of just taking them directly to their destination. Other than that, I don't have much else to say, so I would consider this a relatively average episode.

Did this ever get good? I pretty much dropped off after everything past the inaugural movie felt like lazily-animated sloppily-written shovelware, with the only saving grace being the possibility they were simply finding their stride and would later improve. Like is it up to the standards of Gen 4 at least

Not much new stuff to report on this time. Pretty much the only significant news (aside from the usual new episode) is that the 2017 My Little Pony movie will become available to watch on Netflix on June 19:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/05/my-little-pony-2017-movie-heading-to.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/05/my-little-pony-2017-movie-heading-to.html)

Here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale (and boy does it look interesting):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TwsWuzQs5s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TwsWuzQs5s)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The main five ponies are (finally) getting suspicious of Misty's magic necklace (which she uses to communicate with Opaline), and when Misty takes it off so she can pick some fruit, Zipp quickly snatches it so she and the others can try to better understand it. However, they find out the hard way that it possess evil magic, as whoever wears it ends up turning into the total opposite of who they are. By the time Misty tracks down her missing necklace, its corruption has now spread out to affect everyone inside the Brighthouse, so Misty bravely charges inside and shuts off the necklace. Once everyone is back to normal, Misty decides to destroy the necklace once and for all, and even invites the others to watch her do it. Though Misty admits she's feeling much better already, she still refuses to reveal who gave her that necklace.

This is definitely one of those rare episodes where the overall storyline seems to progress in any significant way, and the way this one ended seems like the perfect way to end the most recent segment of episodes. We don't yet know what things will be like after the events of Make Your Mark Chapter 4 (assuming you've avoided some of the sneak peek clips in recent days), but considering how the TYT episodes released immediately after some new MYM content was always relevant to said new content, it's no wonder the schedule of new episodes in recent months was stretched out to once every two weeks instead of once a week if that next dividing line happens to be between episodes 53 and 54.

Anyway, as for the episode itself, it was kind of amusing to see how everyone behaved like their total opposite as Misty's necklace kept getting passed around. But arguably the most significant moment of all was Misty's decision to destroy that necklace, thus severing her frequent connection to Opaline. We don't yet know if this means she is choosing to completely walk away from Opaline (I suppose we'll find out in MYM chapter 4), but for fans who have insisted endlessly that Misty turning against Opaline would be an inevitable future event, this is a very promising first step. For me, the overall significance of the events of this episode makes it easily among my favorites (perhaps even a close second to episode 24 "Starscout Code"). This has definitely got me interested to see what will happen in MYM Chapter 4, despite my disinterest in the whole "Bridlewoodstock" theme.


Also, don't forget that the Chapter 4 episodes of Make Your Mark will be available to watch on Netflix on June 6, this coming Tuesday. Just like I did when the Chapter 2 episodes came out last September, I'll make another post on that day and then edit it to include summaries and my thoughts on each episode as I watch through them all throughout the day.

Tomorrow, Chapter 4 of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark will become available to watch on Netflix, consisting of one 44-minute special followed by six 22-minute episodes. I'll be sharing quick summaries (for those who won't watch for whatever reason but are still interested in what happens) and my initial thoughts on each episodes (all under spoiler tags, of course) in this post, which I'll be editing as I finish watching each and every episode. Needless to say, it'll be quite a busy day for me.

1: Bridlewoodstock
Spoiler: ShowHide
Izzy brings her friends to show them the Lumabloon, a special natural phenomenon where the flowers and crystals of a special place glow brightly at night for one week. Pipp is so amazed that she decides to organize a huge music festival so everyone can experience the Lumabloom. Izzy is apprehensive due to a unicorn legend about Troggles, which are spirits that are attracted to loud noises during the Lumabloom and steal voices, but Pipp completely disregards it as a myth and asks her friends to help her invite some musical talent to the festival. Zipp agrees to convince the pegasus rock band Electric Blue to perform, Sunny and Hitch offer to help an earth pony girl group Dreamland reunite and perform for the festival, and Izzy and Pipp are able to invite Ruby Jubilee (the latest top chart artist from Zephyr Heights) after they help her get over some creative block, but all three groups are promised to be the headline performance. Despite all the unicorns of Bridlewood being terrified because of the Troggles, Pipp presses on with preparing the festival, and it's only just as everyone arrives that she and her friends finally realize that all three music groups had been promised to headline. In an effort to avoid any further conflict, Electric Blue and Dreamland are convinced to perform earlier, but with Ruby Jubilee changing her mind and insisting on being the first to perform, now there is suddenly no headline performance at all, until Pipp's friends suggest she could be the headline performer instead, which she quickly agrees to. Once Ruby Jubilee starts the show with her new song, the Troggles eventually show up and start stealing the voices of everypony, but when Izzy recites poem of the Troggles once again, she and her friends realize the way to stop the Troggles is to feed them rubies, which they have plenty of for the stage decorations. Once the Troggles all vanish, Pipp confesses to not respecting unicorn customs over her obsession of putting on a big music festival and is willing to cancel the event, but the unicorns insist on letting the festival continue now that there are no longer any Troggles to fear. The episode ends with all three groups performing together on stage.

This was a rather okay special episode, in my opinion. I'm not much for music festivals, so it's not like I was ever particularly interested in what would happen. I was quite annoyed by the fact that the Main 5 ponies never bothered to tell each other they had promised their assigned music groups to be the headline performance until it was almost too late, and made a further failure to communicate when their efforts to convince those groups to perform earlier then resulted in no headline performance at all. I do appreciate the moral message of this special that failing to respect the local customs could lead to serious consequences, so one must always be willing to actually listen to what the locals have to say if one has big plans for something completely new for the area. Overall, not a bad special to start the next bunch of content, but it could've been better.


2: Top Remodel
Spoiler: ShowHide
The Main 5 ponies enter the Canterlogic factory, which has been abandoned since the events of the New Generation movie. Pipp had invited her friends inside because she is thrilled by the spooky feeling of the place, but as they talk about things, they all decide to renovate the place so it can serve a new purpose for the community of Maretime Bay. As Sunny and Izzy go out to hear ideas from the ponies in town, Pipp and Hitch agree to help clean up the place, while Zipp returns to the Brighthouse to continue her investigation of the message from Twilight Sparkle they head heard back in Episode 2 of Chapter 2. Sunny and Izzy are quickly overwhelmed by the ideas everypony has and they struggle to figure out how to make it all work, but they eventually agree to settle on just one idea that they think everyone can enjoy. Pipp and Hitch (with Sparky) continue to explore the abandoned building (Pipp excited by the spooky feeling and Hitch terrified of it) and they eventually stumble across Spout, who insists he should have a say in what happens to the place since it still belongs to his family, but they soon discover a bunch of pegasus mice who have inhabited the building in search of entertainment, and after many struggles to get those mice to leave, Pipp and Hitch eventually perform a duet song to inspire those pegasus mice to return to Zephyr Heights. Zipp struggles to figure out anything more than what she had recorded of the message, but eventually realizes that the evil force that wants to take away magic must be so powerful that it could only be an alicorn. Meanwhile, Misty had overheard Zipp playing the recording of Twilight's message and reports to Opaline about it, and when Misty suggests stealing the Unity Crystals instead of Sparky, Opaline explains that won't help because doing so without her being powerful enough would destroy the very magic she wants to steal, so capturing the baby dragon remains the top priority, despite Misty's lack of confidence from her numerous failures thus far. In the end, the Canterlogic building is remodeled into a studio (apparently now renamed as Canterlove Studios) that can be used for all kinds of shows and performances.

I was definitely excited about this episode, as it seemed to finally address some of things I was dissappointed had not been mentioned at all during the previous bunch of episodes in Chapter 2, such as the status of the Canterlogic building (which it's abandoned state has been featured in a few Tell Your Tale episodes), as well as Sprout (still selfishly arrogant like from the movie) finally getting a more significant appearance. Not to mention, not only has Zipp figured out a major clue about Twilight Sparkle's message, we also finally got an explanation why Opaline is not interested in stealing the Unity Crystals (at least for now). Overall, this episode was long overdue in my opinion, and I'm really glad we finally got it. Definitely among my favorites, and I'm already looking forward to seeing how that new studio will be utilized.


3: The Jinxie Games
Spoiler: ShowHide
Hitch is excited to participate in Bridlewood's Forest Critter Field Day games, but even though he's someone who would try his best to follow the rules of anything, the rulebook Izzy provides him with is so confusing that he struggles to understand any of it, such as Sparky not being a forest critter and thus being ineligible to be Hitch's partner. He soon decides to have Cloudpuff as his critter partner for the games when that dog arrives to deliver a message to Pipp and Zipp that their mother Queen Haven had to cancel the brunch they had planned for her. Pipp is desperate to figure out the reason behind that and begs Hitch to investigate, but he is so excited for the games that he essentially tricks them into coming with him to Bridlewood. While Izzy and Sunny stay with Hitch to cheer him on, Zipp and Pipp go off to figure out what happened to Haven, only to stumble across her hanging out with Alphabittle. Haven and her daughters have a rather awkward conversation, after which Zipp and Pipp uneasily return to watch the games with their friends. With everyone so focused on the games, the main ponies fail to notice Sparky wander off and start climbing a tree. Eventually, Zipp and Pipp notice Sparky and rush to save him, along with Hitch. The incident not only makes Hitch realize he was so focused on the games that he failed to properly care for Sparky, but also allows Haven and her daughters reach an understanding that despite spending less time together they will always love each other (although Zipp and Pipp are still disgusted at seeing their mom being romantically involved with Alphabittle). While all of that was going on, Misty arrives at the Brighthouse to once again try to steal Sparky, but with no one around, she struggles to figure out what to do until she come across a photo of herself with the Main 5 ponies, and once the others return and Misty sneaks away, Sparky gives her that photo, and despite suddenly finding herself with a very easy opportunity to fulfill her mission, Misty decides to let Sparky go and returns home, despite how furious she knows Opaline will be after yet another failure.

This episode was kind of a weird mix for me. The rules and regulations of the Forrest Critter Field Day games are so nonsensical that I pretty much can only dismiss the whole system as further examples of weird unicorn superstitions. In fact, they're still so superstitious that when some of them notice Sparky climbing the tree, they are so confused on what's going on that they end up doing their anti-jinxie dance. As for Queen Haven and Alphabittle, while there was a Tell Your Tale episode that pretty much featured the exact same conflict as this episode did, both that episode and this episode seemed to portray their respective events as the big reveal of their relationship, so it's kind of hard to figure out which one should be taken more seriously, though it is worth noting that the relationship is very heavily implied (such as Haven calling him "Alphy") but not outright confirmed. At least there was a rather good moment where Misty later had the perfect chance to take Sparky, but ultimately chose to do the right thing and let him go, even if it means some potentially severe consequences for herself. Overall, not a lot of interesting things going on, so I'll consider this a rather moderate episode.


4: Sunny Side Up
Spoiler: ShowHide
The Main 5 ponies officially open Canterlove Studios, but with little interest from the other ponies, they realize they should set an example by starting their own show. Pipp immediately takes the lead by suggesting a cooking show in which Sunny and Hitch will show how to make smoothies, but both are reluctant about the idea, especially Hitch after how poorly things went when he once tried to run Sunny's smoothie cart back in the previous season. Things quickly fall apart, but Pipp is excited that moments like a food fight bring in lots of views. Eventually, Sunny is so distraught over not enjoying herself that she ends up giving an inspiring speech on the show about the importance of not having to listen to the demands of others and they should just enjoy being themselves. Although this ends up being the only episode of "Sunny Side Up" by mutual agreement, it does inspire other ponies to request use of the studio to the point it gets fully booked for six months. While all of that was going on, after Opaline explains how she was jealous of being overshadowed by Celestia and Luna when she was younger, she is so enraged by Misty failing yet again that she grounds the unicorn to her room (complete with a magic spell) while Opaline herself leaves her castle to try retrieving the Dragon Stone, a magical artifact that she believes will amplify the dragon fire she intends to take from Sparky. After a long hike up a crystal mountain, she finally grabs the stone, only to drop it down a deep crevice, forcing her to return to the castle without it. Meanwhile, Misty somehow uses just enough magic to break her hooves free from the floor of her room, but not enough to escape through the door. This allows her to grab her phone and happens to watch Sunny's speech, which inspires her to finally leave Opaline. However, she is so indecisive about how exactly she'll do it that Opaline returns and Misty has to pretend she's still as loyal as ever. It almost works as Opaline asks Misty to help her retrieve the lost Dragon Stone, but then points out the fake cutie mark Misty had drawn on herself when she was preparing to leave.

Another episode that was worth the wait, as we finally got a real hint of where Opaline came from, and it seems she has been around since Celestia and Luna were younger, though nothing really specific is explained aside from just how she felt overlooked by those two and wanted to prove herself by any means necessary. It was nice to see Misty beginning to really understand that she would be better off without answering to Opaline, especially as she took inspiration from Sunny's passionate speech, though it seems her hesitation to act now could result in something much worse awaiting her very soon. As for the main ponies struggling to make use of the new studio, it honestly would not have been such an exciting episode with that plot alone, so the fact that those events were able to fit in rather nicely with what Misty was going through really helped it quite a bit. Also, somewhat amusing to see that Opaline having throat issues from so much evil laughter and furious shouting was actually used here and was not just a gag from a single episode of Tell Your Tale. Overall, a rather nice episode that was worth watching.


5: The Manesquerade Ball
Spoiler: ShowHide
The Main 5 ponies prepare for the Manesquerade Ball, a gala at Zephyr Heights where everypony wears masks to hide their identities (albeit not very well, to be honest). Meanwhile, Opaline leaves to retrieve the Dragon Stone and asks Misty only to remain at the castle. Once alone, Misty considers her options and eventually decides to meet up with her new friends. She catches up to them just as they are getting ready to depart, and much to her astonishment, they invite her to join them at the ball. Sunny wants to teach her friends a new dance to perform together at the ball, but they arrive before they have a chance to practice. While the others hang out at the party, Zipp takes the opportunity of being in Zephyr Heights to search the archives for anything on the subject of alicorns to continue her investigation of Twilight's message, but she soon discovers Misty has secretly followed her. Misty's behavior continues to be so awkward and suspicious that Zipp decides to demand the real truth from Misty, who decides to confess that she doesn't have a cutie mark. This is enough for Zipp to stop being so hard on Misty and assures her she doesn't have to be so afraid of being different, since differences is what makes friendship so great. As a sign of that newfound trust, Misty admits that she had stumbled across exactly the kind of book Zipp had been looking for and gives it to her. Soon after, Pipp finds them and begs them to return to the ball to help Sunny, who is freaking out about her friends not knowing the unity dance she wanted them to perform. Fortunately, once everyone is together, the song and dance goes wonderfully. After the party is over, Misty leaves to return home, but admits she had a lot of fun. Later that night, Zipp begins looking through the book about alicorns, but discovers some pages had been freshly ripped out. Meanwhile, Opaline returns with the Dragon Stone and is apparently unaware Misty had gone anywhere, while Misty secretly begins looking through the pages she had torn out from that alicorn book.

Normally, some of my least favorite episodes of all involve makeovers for some fancy event, and while this episode partly was exactly that, I did like the additional plot of Misty continuing her mental struggle between serving Opaline or having fun with her new friends. Although Misty still hasn't revealed the existence of Opaline or her evil plans, Misty did ultimately confess one major truth, which was her lack of a cutie mark. Misty was genuinely upset about what others would think of that, but with Zipp being a good friend by assuring her they would never ridicule her for something like that, this could be a major boost of confidence that Misty might need to convince herself that she would be better off leaving Opaline. On the other hand, she did steal some pages from that alicorn history book without telling anyone, not even Opaline, so it remains to be seen how things will ultimately turn out for her.


6: A Little Horse
Spoiler: ShowHide
Just as Pipp is about to perform a collaborative livestream with Electric Blue, she is immediately forced to postpone the event due to suddenly getting ill with frequent coughing and a sore throat. Zipp insists that Pipp should get some rest at home, and Pipp reluctantly agrees. Pipp's friends soon come up with ways to help her feel better, starting with Zipp bringing a massive collection of fantasy novels to read to ensure she gets the "vocal rest" she needs. When Sunny asks if there's anything she can do to help, Pipp mentions a special kind of soup her mom used to make, so Sunny tries to provide that, but after failing to make it herself, she goes to Zephyr Heights to try asking Queen Haven about the recipe while being careful to not reveal Pipp's illness, and ultimately receives a confession from Haven that the soup was not homemade after all and was just something from a food cart. Hitch and his critter friends try to keep Pipp entertained with various performances, which Pipp appreciates but finds some acts to be a little too much. Izzy offers some special unicorn tea that will supposedly cure her ailment, but after failing to get the recipe just right, she eventually decides to just get her some regular tea to help soothe her. And when Misty visits to check on Pipp, Zipp take the opportunity to share with Pipp what she's been able to figure out regarding the evil alicorn Twilight Sparkle was trying to warn them about, but once Misty has heard all of it, she rushes back to the castle to inform Opaline, who is furious by how much they know and decides she must make her decisive move very soon. Later that night, Pipp is feeling much better, and decides to proceed with her livestream right there at home with her friends helping out.

While this episode doesn't show how Pipp got sick (unlike one episode of Tell Your Tale), it did put more focus on how her friends try their best to help her feel better. I've never been fond of excessive cringe, and this episode had quite a bit of it. I knew that, ultimately, the best thing they could do was just leave her alone and let her get some rest, though at least her sister Zipp knew her enough to take away her phone so she wouldn't have the temptation to speak or sing and thus allow her to get the vocal rest she needed. I didn't care much for the majority of this episode, though it did include Misty learning about everything Zipp figured out (albeit we don't hear any of it due to being presented as a montage). When Opaline is informed of this, she is upset not only at how much of her evil plans Zipp figured out, but also that one of the few things she was not able to figure out was Opaline's name, which I guess shows just how much of a narcissist Opaline really is. Oh, and I also liked the brief flashback that showed Pipp when she was a little filly, so that was nice to see in this series. Overall, a rather modest episode, but it does get me excited for what awaits in the next episode.


7: Missing the Mark
Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty is somehow finally able to actually bring Sparky to Opaline's castle, but remains indecisive up to the last steps. Once she eventually decides to bring Sparky back home, Opaline arrives and is delighted to see the baby dragon. Opaline then suspends Sparky in a magic bubble hanging just outside the castle and intends to simply let him fall once his dragon fire has been fully drained into the Dragon Stone. Despite being promised a cutie mark, Misty understands Sparky doesn't deserve such a fate, and decides to bring Sunny and her friends to free him. Meanwhile, those ponies try to find the missing Sparky, having learned their lessons from last time, though with even the magic lullaby failing to locate him, they grow increasingly worried. When they eventually run into Misty, she immediately tells them she knows where Sparky was taken, and while she's still reluctant to reveal the full truth of her involvement, they are willing to trust her and ride the Marestream to follow Misty's directions straight to Opaline's castle. As soon as they're inside the castle, Opaline catches them by surprise, trapping the other ponies in a magic-nullifying bubble, and once they learn the full truth of what Misty had really been up to the whole time, they are upset at being betrayed by someone they thought was their friend. Misty has some time to reflect on the consequences of her actions, and after multiple apologies to the main ponies, she concludes she would much rather live without a cutie mark than to serve the evil alicorn, and uses one of the magical torches to burst the magic bubble and free them. This selfless act turns out to be enough for Misty to suddenly earn her cutie mark. Now free and all on the same side, Misty plans a trap for Opaline. While Misty distracts Opaline by pretending to have been captured by Izzy and Pipp, Hitch and Zipp take advantage of the diversion to free Sparky, and once Opaline arrives, Sunny uses her alicorn form to take a stand against the evil fire alicorn. The ponies struggle at first with Sunny being trapped under some rubble and Pipp and Izzy getting trapped inside another magic bubble, but Zipp and Hitch return with Sparky just in time to help free them. Sunny and Opaline continue their epic alicorn magic battle, and with all of Sunny's friends (including Misty) encouraging her, their combined cutie mark magic is enough to overpower Opaline and trap her within a magic bubble. With Opaline stopped for now, Sunny and her friends return home, with Misty staying behind. It doesn't take long for Opaline to free herself and believing that Misty is still on her side demands her to clean up the mess inside the castle. Unknown to Opaline, Misty is now able to use unicorn magic thanks to her new cutie mark, allowing her to quickly clean everything, though she makes an effort to hide her magic and her cutie mark from Opaline. Back at the Brighthouse, the Main 5 ponies are glad to see Sparky will make a full recovery after some rest, and they reflect on their first battle against the evil Opaline. Misty then arrives and promises to them, her true friends, that she will do everything she can to help them stop Opaline. Meanwhile, Opaline has managed to absorb some of Sparky's dragon fire to restore some of her power, but she now speculates that with one baby dragon being around, the rest of the dragons are sure to soon awaken, which would allow her to obtain far more power than she could have previously hoped for.

Well, this is the one we've all been waiting to see. Sunny and her friends finally learn about the existence of Opaline Arcana, as well as realize the full truth of Misty's role in all of this. While the battle didn't end with a true defeat for Opaline, at least they were able to return home with Sparky soon to be just fine. We all knew Misty's ultimate fate was going to be to turn against Opaline and join Sunny and the others. However, what I find especially interesting from all of this is that Opaline is apparently not aware that Misty now actually has a cutie mark and can use unicorn magic, nor does she even seem to notice Misty's true allegiance has now switched to Sunny and her friends. This means that where Misty used to spy on her friends to help Opaline, now she will apparently be spying on Opaline to help her friends, a role reversal which is sure to make for a very interesting series of circumstances in the side content that is to follow (such as the upcoming episodes of Tell Your Tale). This episode saw the very first time Sunny and her friends had a battle against a real magical foe, and it was so worth the wait. I am really looking forward to see where the main storyline will progress from here. Overall, easily the best episode of this season, and perhaps even the best episode of all to date.


Well, it's been a long day, but I'm finally finished with all this writing. While not all episodes were really interesting to me, I especially enjoyed the overall storyline shown throughout this season. Trust me, if you wanted to see just how good this series could really get, Chapter 4 of Make Your Mark was likely the real defining period for all of G5 of My Little Pony. If you still don't like G5 after this point, then I can safely say it's probably not for you.

I'd say G5 is at the point where it's starting to get good.

Issue 13 of the main comic series came out last week, so here's a six page preview of it:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/06/6-page-preview-for-g5-my-little-pony-13.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/06/6-page-preview-for-g5-my-little-pony-13.html)

Some rumors have started going around about upcoming content over the next year or so, but I won't bother sharing any of that since there's always a possibility such plans might change.

Here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale (and as I'm sure you might expect, it does involve spoilers for Chapter 4 of Make Your Mark):

This episode is pretty much just a dramatic retelling of the events of the final episode of Chapter 4 of Make Your Mark, mostly told by Pipp with frequent interruptions from her friends that sometimes turn out inaccurate. Also notable is that Misty is with the Main Five ponies as a real friend with them, and not only does she now have an actual cutie mark, but also apparently had decided to change her hail color (perhaps that's why the dramatic retelling is taking place at Mane Melody). Overall, nothing really significant with this episode, just apparently an abridged version of the MYM episode Missing the Mark, and I'm somehow okay with that.

The Bridlewoodstock special comic came out this week, so here's a five page preview:

Also, the synopsis of a few upcoming comics was recently revealed, such as issue 17 of the main series and issue 3 of the Camp Bighoof miniseries:

So this episode apparently takes place during the Bridlewoodstock special from Make Your Mark, and... yeah, definitely not among my favorite episodes, and not just because I've already made clear how much I dislike anything involving makeovers. I seriously question Pipp's decision to retrieve the lost supplies herself and leave her friends (who apparently have little to no experience with makeovers) to manage the booth. The struggles were easy to foresee, and somehow the solution to all that big mess was to just have fun with it? I honestly don't know what kind of message this episode was trying to send, so I'd have to consider this one of my least favorite episodes for numerous reasons.

Two more comics were released in the past two weeks. Last week was issue 14 of the main series, so here's a five page preview:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/07/5-page-preview-for-g5-my-little-pony-14.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/07/5-page-preview-for-g5-my-little-pony-14.html)

This week's comic release is the 40th anniversary special featuring three different stories, so here are some preview pages from each of them:

So it's another episode that takes place during the Bridlewoodstock special, and I'll say that it's another one that I don't find all that entertaining. Electric Blue suddenly lose their gear down a sinkhole just before they're due onstage, so Hitch keeps the crowd distracted while the others help them clean up and get properly ready to perform, only for Izzy to mess them up again with her excessive catering, but after taking a look at everyone attending the festival, they decide to just go ahead with their show despite their messy appearance. Unlike last week's episode, I kind of understand the message of this episode, but again the way it's presented doesn't exactly seem to make any sense to me. I think at this point it might be fair to say that anything regarding Bridlewoodstock is just not for me.

The biggest reveal over the past two weeks was this preview clip from Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark, which will supposedly release on Netflix in September, so that'll be just two months from now.

Looks like we're finally done with the Bridlewood prequel episodes and moving on to some real new stuff, seeing as Misty is casually hanging around town (complete with her new hair color). In this episode, Zipp is confused why no one wants to spend a hot summer day at the beach, and everyone she tries to suggest joining her at the beach flat out refuse for whatever various reasons. Thankfully, Misty had seen Zipp's struggles and feels bad for her, so she decides to join her at the beach on her own (it also helps that she had never been able to enjoy a beach day before and was eager to experience it for herself for the first time). When they start sharing pictures on social media about how much fun the two of them are having at the beach, everyone else in town finally decide to also have a fun day at the beach (though Zipp remains frustrated that everyone behaves as if she had never even made the suggestion in the first place). While not exactly one of the best episodes, it's certainly not a bad one, and I do approve of the moral that sometimes it takes just one friend joining you to show everyone else just how much fun something as simple as a day at the beach can be.

Once again, we're reminded that in G5 MLP, cutie marks glow whenever ponies do something that is an expression of their true self. This time, Misty struggles to figure that out for herself due to how recently she had gotten her cutie mark. Izzy's efforts to help result in several embarrassing moments for Misty, but when Sunny has a personal conversation about how her early struggles with becoming an alicorn made her feel lonely at times, Misty is able express sympathy with her, which then causes her cutie mark to finally start glowing. I consider this episode to be relatively good, not among the greats, but still good enough that I enjoyed watching it.

Apparently in this Equestria, the moon makes its closest approach once every ten years, during which Zephyr Heights has a huge celebration called the Moon Festival (featuring a lot of Chinese style, for some reason). Notably, this is the first one since magic returned, and while nearly all the other ponies try to enjoy themselves, Zipp notices everyone's magic powers seem to be getting out of control. She eventually figures out that the moon is somehow supercharging magic, so to get everything back under control, she and her friends work together to send up a bunch of paper lanterns to block the moon, which blocks its effects on magic with the bonus of a spectacular show. This episode featured a rather interesting concept, but so much more could've been done with it, so I consider this a perfect example of something that would've worked better in a longer episode rather than these five minute episodes (unless if they plan to feature this concept in a few more episodes). Overall, a rather interesting episode, but certainly could've been better.

Pipp's next perfume launch is ruined when Izzy fails to be honest about accidentally ruining the batch that makes it attractive to critters but not ponies. Pipp and Izzy later stumble across a field of special flowers that give off the scent of whatever someone likes, but supply is very limited, and despite Izzy's warning, Pipp takes too many and causes a very rapid ecological collapse. Thankfully, Pipp uses her ruined perfume to summon the critters to replant the flowers and quickly asks Sunny and Hitch to use their earth pony magic to restore life to the flowers. The effort works, and a large magical tree also grows to reward Pipp with its petals for doing the right thing. What I'm getting from this episode are two morals: lying to cover up your mistakes is very bad, and you should respect nature by not taking too much from it. Overall, while not quite a favorite, I can appreciate the messages of this episode.


And since Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark will officially release on September 18, that means my next post here will be about those six episodes. (and hopefully I'll be able to set aside enough time to watch and review them all...)
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

Tomorrow, Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark will become available to watch on Netflix, consisting of six 22-minute episodes. As I have done previously, I'll share summaries of each episode (for those of you who can't or won't watch them for whatever reasons but would still like to know what happens) and my initial thoughts on those episodes. I'll edit this post throughout the day as I watch each episode, with everything obviously being under spoiler tags. After how the previous chapter ended, I am really looking forward to seeing what happens in this chapter.

1: Cutie Blossom Bash
Spoiler: ShowHide
The main ponies, including Misty, travel to Zephyr Heights for the annual Cutie Blossom Bash, where young ponies get to show off their newly acquired cutie marks. Misty is nervous about being part of it, so to help calm her nerves, her friends share stories about how they got their cutie marks (Sunny was selling lemonade when she resolved a dispute between two ponies, Zipp practiced parkour in her effort to figure out to help pegasi fly, Pipp was so awed by her sister's actions that she sang in public, Hitch chose to stop playing with the bullying colts he had been with and instead began playing with the filly who had been bullied by them, and Izzy found a growing pile of junk that she decided to rebuild into a small fountain which inspired her to to start calling her talents "unicycling" (as in "a unicorn who likes to recycle")). Once they arrive, Queen Haven makes final preparations with help from Hitch and Zipp due to potential rain in the area, while Pipp helps Misty get ready for the celebration (including giving her a new color for her mane and tail). As the bash begins with a meal with the other ponies who also got their cutie marks within the past year, Misty continues to be nervously awkward, and when the time comes to present themselves out in front of a large audience, Misty backs out at the last second and confesses her immense shyness to her friends. Her friends apologize for being too excited by the ceremony to not realize that it just wasn't for her, so they instead arrange a small private celebration that involves planting a sapling in the same garden where Pipp and Zipp had once done the same, and after a song, their combined magic causes it to quickly grow into a massive tree. After all of that, Misty makes one final confession that Opaline was not really defeated and that Misty has decided to become a double agent, meaning she will now spy on Opaline to help her friends while pretending to still be on Opaline's side. When Misty returns to the dark castle, she uses makeup to cover her cutie mark and passes off her changed hair color as some magical incident, and it seems Opaline remains completely unaware of Misty's switched allegiance.

One thing I really liked about this episode is how we got to see how all of the Main Five ponies got their cutie marks through flashbacks. Among them, we even got to see Sunny's father Argyle once more (though he didn't actually speak and was instead quoted by Sunny), so while we may never know what happened to Argyle, at least it's now confirmed that he got to see his daughter earn her cutie mark. Interestingly, unlike the winter wishing holiday, the Cutie Blossom Bash is one type of celebration that had been almost identical between the three pony tribes, despite being kept separate for a very long time, and is only now being celebrated in a single unified event for the first time. This episode also conveniently kept Sparky absent by having Hitch let Grandma Figgy take care of the baby dragon while he remains exhausted from having his magic drained. And while the end of Chapter 4 implied Misty would from now on be spying on Opaline to help her friends rather than the other way around, it was nice to see this episode make it official, even going so far as to have Misty reveal Opaline was not really defeated but rather had only suffered a brief setback. It was also kind of amusing how oblivious Opaline seemed to be regarding Misty's absence throughout the episode. Overall, it was a nice episode to tie up some loose ends from the previous episode.


2: Family Trees (Part 1)
Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty has a bad dream and quickly warns her friends that it might mean trouble ahead for them, though she is unable to remember much from the dream. When she mentions that she had lied about being from Bridlewood and couldn't recall ever being there, Izzy decides they should all go there right away, with Hitch agreeing in the hope they might find something to help the still very tired Sparky. Along the way Pipp decides to temporarily stop using her phone entirely for the sake of improved mindfulness while also searching for ingredients for a new beauty product. Once they arrive, Zipp is eager to get answers from Misty's vision, but Sunny insists on being patient and letting Misty figure it out on her own time. As they tour around Bridlewood, Misty realizes what she's been seeing is actually memory flashbacks, but is not yet able to piece together anything more than that she once lived in Bridlewood when she was a filly. When they reach the wishing tree, it triggers a hurtful memory for Misty, which causes her magic to react with the tree. The tree not only blossoms brightly, but also releases several breezies, who are eager to welcome everypony inside the tree for the Night Market. Meanwhile, Queen Haven is visiting Alphabittle, and when Haven asks him to consider opening a second shop in Zephyr Heights, he insists on staying in Bridlewood for personal reasons he refuses to explain, but then some breezies arrive to also invite them to the Night Market. As everypony explores the Night Market, Zipp continues pressing Misty for answers to her vision while Sunny keeps assuring Misty to take as much time as she needs to, Hitch struggles to find anything that can help Sparky, and despite trying to stay off her phone Pipp refuses to trade it away for some ingredients that interest her. When Zipp is distracted by Haven's arrival and Sunny is distracted by some special berries for new smoothies, Misty follows one breezie who gives her a key that can only be used once to find what she most desires. When Alphabittle arrives, Zipp decides to introduce him to Misty, but she and her friends soon realize Misty has gone missing...

Quite an interesting cliffhanger to end this episode on. It sure is nice that we're starting to see some hints to Misty's past, which we will likely see more of in the next part. In addition, it is very nice that the Breezies from G4 have also made a comeback, apparently having stayed hidden within the Wishing Tree while gathering bits and pieces of the outside world over the ages (though a couple breezies seem particularly fascinated with Pipp's phone, having never seen such "magic"). (Interestingly, their language is the same as the pony language, only spoken much faster to the point that most can't understand it.) Also, at this point, it's starting to become highly suspicious that there might be some past connection between Misty and Alphabittle, but I guess we'll see about that in the next part.


3: Family Trees (Part 2)
Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty somehow ends up lost somewhere outside, but one breezie is able to guide her back to the Night Market. While her friends search for her, Sparky is suddenly rejuvenated when he encounters a fossil dragon footprint, but the effect lasts only temporarily, leading Hitch to realize that the cure for Sparky is to get him somewhere with a lot of dragon magic. Misty eventually returns and reveals the key that was given to her. After they do some searching around the market, Zipp eventually finds the door from Misty's vision hidden under some overgrowth. While Misty remains curious about her past, she decides to use the one-use-only key to take Sparky to his homeland, opening a portal to the Dragonlands. Once they arrive at a strange jungle, Sparky quickly becomes energetic again, but the six ponies start becoming concerned by the apparent lack of other dragons, speculating things like maybe they all left or perhaps Opaline got to them. With Sparky cured and seemingly nothing else to find, they decide to return home (thanks to a trail of flowers Pipp was smart enough to leave behind). Once back in Bridlewood, the door closes, as well as the gate to the Night Market, with one Breezie noting that there's no certainty when it will next reopen. Despite concerns from her friends, Misty assures then that she's okay with still not getting answers about her past, as she sees them as her new family, much like with Sparky. When Pipp reveals some photos her family had taken with Alphabittle earlier in the Night Market, Misty suddenly has another flashback revealing that Alphabittle is actually her father. Meanwhile, Alphabittle confesses to Haven that the real reason he refuses to leave Briddlewood is because his daughter went missing a long time ago and he still holds onto the faint hope that she might one day return. The moment he had hoped for occurs literally seconds later when Misty arrives with her friends, and the long lost father and daughter tearfully reunite.

To be honest, Alphabittle being Misty's father was perhaps one of the worst kept secrets of this season, mostly due to some promo images that came out over the past few months and everyone kept speculating about it (heck, I even read a fanfiction that someone had written about that concept over the last few weeks). Even so, it was nice to see Misty finally reconnect with a lost part of her past, despite sacrificing the key she could've used herself to instead help Sparky. Speaking of which, while we didn't see any other dragons, we did get a glimpse of their homeland, including some footprints and some statues scattered around. It seems the big mystery now is where all the dragons might be and what possibly might have happened to them. (Oh, one thing I forgot to mention in part 1, while there were plenty of remarks about how the Night Market seemed so vast for being inside a tree, I'm surprised no one said something like "it's bigger on the inside" or "it looked smaller on the outside", so that was a missed opportunity for some meta humor.) Overall, a very nice two part episode that's got me eager to see more.


4: Father of the Bridlewood
Spoiler: ShowHide
Alphabittle is very excited to have Misty back in his life, but while Misty is happy to be reunited with her father, her inability to remember anything from her childhood with him makes her struggle to enjoy her time with him, especially since he seems to remember her younger self being a vary different pony from who she is now. Most notably, she used to love being in the spotlight, while her current shyness makes her terrified of any amount of attention. After several efforts to do all the things they used to do, Alphabittle eventually comes to understand that the young filly he once knew is now a grown mare with different interests, but Misty would still like to spend time with him, so they agree to try some new activities they both might enjoy. While all of that was going on, Zipp is still desperate for answers, but Sunny firmly insists they should leave Misty alone for now, so Izzy suggests introducing them to Elder Flower, who has much wisdom to share despite her strange manners. Once properly acquainted, Elder Flower agrees to share some stories on the condition that they let her visit Zephyr Heights. As Elder Flower excitedly explores the city and does some shopping for vintage fashion, Sunny and Zipp eventually come up with the idea of showing her the old hangar in hopes that it might remind her of some interesting stories, but once they get her there, she tells them of a story about some greedy bat. As they prepare to depart, Elder Flower notices the tree that Misty has recently planted and refers to it as a Together Tree, and when Sunny and Zipp ask about it, she goes on to explain there are others like it around Equestria with interconnected roots that help spread unity magic. At the end of that day, Alphabittle decides to let Misty stay with her friends at the Brighthouse and arranges to have many of her belongings moved there. Once they're finished unpacking, Sunny and Zipp return and ask Elder Flower to share her story of the Together Trees with the others.

I'm certainly curious how Misty seems to lack any memories at all of when she used to live in Bridlewood with her father, especially since the daughter Alphabittle seems to remember is very different from the Misty we know. Their interactions in this episode kinda reminded me of the G4 episode where Rarity is forced to realize that Sweetie Belle is growing up and has developed different interests. As for Elder Flower, while that greedy bat story might have come across as nonsense to Sunny and Zipp, I can't help but think of it as a metaphor for how Opaline tried to take over and how she was stopped in the past. Worth noting is that the old hanger in Zephyr Heights now looks a bit cleaner than when we last saw it way back in the New Generation movie, including the stained glass window apparently being restored (though still lacking the middle panel for the earth pony crystal). Another minor detail I picked up is that Elder Flower briefly remarked that an ancestor of hers (specifically her many times great aunt) is named Moondancer, so make of that what you will. Lastly, the way Elder Flower described those Together Trees makes me wonder if they might somehow be related to the Tree of Harmony from G4. Overall, awkward moments for Misty aside, this was a relatively nice episode.


5: Mane Smelody
Spoiler: ShowHide
While foraging in Bridlewood for ingredients for new beauty products, Pipp stumbles across a type of flower that makes her hooves shine brightly, but it also comes with a foul odor. Even so, she gathers those plants and brings them back to Mane Melody and prepares to sell the new hoof polish. Jazz, Zipp, and Sunny all try to respectfully keep quiet about the stench, and Jazz reluctantly goes along with Pipp as they open the salon for the new treatment. Meanwhile, Zipp continues investigating and asks Sunny if they could search through what little remains of her father's research, and they soon come across a mysterious map. Unable to figure out what it's for, they try searching the Breezie Night Market, but while they are unable to find any answers, one breezie gifts them a heart-shaped ruby with a cryptic message that one with friends is never alone. After returning home and getting no help from Hitch, Misty suddenly arrives and warns them of Opaline's new plan to enchant all of the recently awakened dragons to steal their dragon fire power. Back at Mane Melody, business continues to remain booming, and Jazz soon discovers it's because the new hoof treatment has become a viral challenge about enduring the stench. Soon after, Izzy arrives and quickly identifies the stench as being from the stinkiest plant in all of Bridlewood, though one is able to get used to it after a while, which explains why Pipp seems to not be affected by it. After all of that, Jazz finally confesses the full truth to Pipp, who takes it remarkably well now that everything makes sense to her. And rather conveniently, Izzy returns with a pink flower that is able to neutralize the stench of the new hoof polish.

Quite honestly, I feel like the main plot of this episode would've worked better as a Tell Your Tale episode. It's actually the side plot that more interests me, as it involves further investigation into events surrounding the entire series. Sadly, it is now confirmed that a large majority of Argyle's research had been destroyed with Sunny's old lighthouse, though at least some bits and pieces managed to survive. And at the part where Sunny and Zipp visited Hitch, no one seemed to notice the mystery map glowed along with Sparky's scales, so that could imply the map might have something to do with the Dragonlands. Also, if you remember a certain G4 episode, I think you might remember where we last saw a heart shaped ruby. Overall, not much interest for me from this episode, but I'll take whatever new clues we can get.


6: Nightmare on Mane Street
Spoiler: ShowHide
It's Nightmare Night, and there's a lot going on. Hitch has planned a lot of events for the town, but nopony seems to be interested in any of them. Also, Pipp has plans to open the Brighthouse as a haunted house experience, with help from Izzy on lighting, Zipp on some decorations, and Sunny with preparing all kinds of treats. However, Pipp ends up distracted by her desire to give a good scare to Misty, who turns out to be very nonreactive to playful scares. Meanwhile, Opaline is surprised to see a bunch of pumpkins suddenly appear in her castle, but soon realizes it's because her old Together Tree she had grown through her castle is now connected to the one in Maretime Bay (which had been grown by Hitch and his friends back in episode 2 of chapter 2), and anything and anyone can now travel between the two locations by simply standing in just the right spot. She makes a dramatic entrance into town, but since she fails to recognize the ongoing holiday festivities, she is frustrated that everyone brushes off her threats as little more than a playful act. The only time she manages to genuinely terrify somepony is when she steals Posey's cutie mark, proving that she really is capable of doing that to another pony, but doesn't go any further with it due to how time consuming such an effort would be for an entire town. While that's going on, once the "Frighthouse" opens, there's very little organization and things quickly become a big mess, eventually driving Sunny to close the attraction and kick out all the guests. In the aftermath, everyone comes to the conclusion that they were all so focused on following their traditions that they were unable to have any fun with each other. The next morning, a mishap causes Sparky to use his dragon fire on the mystery map from the previous episode, completely restoring it to reveal that it leads to the Dragonlands, so the six ponies decide to use the map to get there first before Opaline can threaten the dragons.

We already saw some Nightmare Night themed episodes of Tell Your Tale last year, so it was a little strange to see everyone behaving as if this was the first one held since the pony tribes reunited. There were quite a lot of side plots in this episode, but some just went nowhere, like Jazz and Rocky trying to find the golden pumpkin from one of Hitch's events. I was also quite confused about what lessons were supposed to be learned from the "Frighthouse" fiasco. One thing I did like from this episode was Opaline discovering a way for her to finally enter Equestria, but her unfortunately poor timing ended up greatly diminishing whatever terror she had intended to unleash upon arrival. Even so, with Posey having her cutie mark stolen, there's bound to be a ton of speculation regarding what will happen as a result of that alone (I suppose it's possible we might see it addressed in one of the upcoming Tell Your Tale episodes). Overall, quite a bit of a mixed bag with this episode, and ended somewhat anticlimactically with a lot of open ends. At least it's good to know that Chapter 6 is due to be released in just two months.


And that covers all of the episodes of Chapter 5. And we won't have to wait too long to find out what happens next, because Chapter 6 is scheduled to officially released on November 23.

Not much new to share this week, probably due to the release of Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark. At least another preview clip of it recently went up on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2pcEVGHH90 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2pcEVGHH90)

Anyway, at least we still have another new episode of Tell Your Tale this week:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9H_FioujnE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9H_FioujnE)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So this episode features Sunny and Windy earning Trail Trotters badges, specifically going for wilderness survival with the rest of Sunny's friends (including Misty, of course). Things get crazy when a bunnisus (pegasus bunny) comes into contact with a special crystal that causes it to grow into a giant, so the ponies work together to stop it from causing any further problems and eventually shrink it back to normal with some other crystals. While it was interesting to see Windy join the main six ponies for once, I honestly thought that with this being the first episode following the release of new Make Your Mark episodes we might get some acknowledgement of those events, but nope, just more of the same for now. Overall, just another mediocre episode, as far as I'm concerned.

Regarding the comics, it seems preview pages might be harder to come by these days, so I'll just start posting links to the announcements of when a new issue is released. To start off, this week had the released of part 3 of the Camp Bighoof miniseries:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-camp-bighoof-3-released.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-camp-bighoof-3-released.html)

Last week had the release of Issue 17 of the main comic series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/my-little-pony-generation-5-17-released.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/my-little-pony-generation-5-17-released.html)

A synopsis of Issue 20 of the main series was also revealed:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/my-little-pony-g5-comic-20-revealed.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/my-little-pony-g5-comic-20-revealed.html)

Some concept art for Make Your Mark has been shared (including some possibly from the upcoming Chapter 6):
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/possible-new-g5-location-revealed-in.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/possible-new-g5-location-revealed-in.html)

Here's an official announcement revealing the long term plan regarding the Tell Your Tale series, supposedly continuing into the next two years with four half-hour specials and enough new episodes to go back to weekly releases starting next year:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/tell-your-tale-will-continue-into-2025.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/09/tell-your-tale-will-continue-into-2025.html)

And of course, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH7dGAGLuAc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH7dGAGLuAc)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So this episode apparently takes place after the Main Six ponies have already supposedly stopped Opaline's evil plan, which I assume will be Chapter 6 of Make Your Mark. I'm not sure what would count as spoilers regarding that, but it seems that by this point, the Dragonlands are now fully accessible (at least via the Marestream) with at least three dragons active enough to greet visitors with a tribal dance, so these dragons apparently live as a tropical tribal culture. Anyway, the majority of this episode is spent showing an entry initiation given to the ponies by the dragons called the Lavarynth, which is a trio of challenges meant to test their bravery, wisdom, and creativity. Zipp takes on the bravery challenge by flying through a cave full of lava falls and swinging giant axes. Misty takes on the wisdom challenge (thanks to her experience from living under Opaline) by realizing that the scary monsters in the second cave are just harmless shadows. And Izzy takes on the creativity challenge by arranging everyone around to make a shadow puppet of a dragon to open the door out of the last cave. With the Lavarynth completed, the dragons officially welcome the ponies to the Dragonlands. I certainly like episodes like this where the focus characters have to work together and use their talents to overcome a gauntlet of challenges. As much as I would like to consider this among my favorite episodes, the lack of context regarding how the ponies got to meet and be on friendly terms with the dragons makes it difficult for me to really appreciate this episode that way it was likely intended. Hopefully, after Chatper 6 of MYM comes out to provide that missing context, I might find this episode more favorable, but for now, it's difficult for me to like something that leaves me confused.


I should probably put this part outside the spoiler tag. It seems that the release schedule between Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark has now become awkward enough that it's possible there might be some spoilers for Chapter 6 of MYM over the next few episodes of TYT. I personally don't mind spoilers, so I'll continue watching these new episodes of TYT, but if you would rather avoid such potential spoilers for MYM, you might want to avoid watching TYT for the next two months. Regardless, I will continue as usual by sharing video links to each new episode as they come out and sharing a summary and my thoughts under a spoiler tag.

Post by: The Chronicler on October 19, 2023, 07:56:08 PM
Not much new, aside from the usual comic releases. Last week, part 2 of Unicorn of Odd came out:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined.html)

This week, the special issue Black, White, and Blue was released:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-black-white-blue.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-black-white-blue.html)

Since that later comic seems kind of interesting, here's a couple preview pages from it:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/2-page-preview-for-my-little-pony.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/2-page-preview-for-my-little-pony.html)

Finally, here's this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale (and I can at least say this one does not have any spoilers for Chapter 6 of MYM, unlike last week's episode, but rather fits perfectly after Chapter 5 of MYM):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eROcXVPEEu0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eROcXVPEEu0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Okay, this was definitely an episode that rightfully should be shown at this time between Chapters 5 and 6 of Make Your Mark. This episode takes place inside the Breezie Night Market, with Alphabittle once again very happy to be spending some time with his daughter Misty. In a callback to a previous episode of TYT, the main six ponies come across the same kind of magical glitter that had once turned Sunny, Izzy, and Hitch into foals, and this time an ill-timed sneeze turns all six of them into foals. Much of the episode is spent with Alphabittle scrambling around the market with all kinds of shenanigans to get all six of them under control and preparing a special blend of tea to turn them all back to normal. (A particularly touching moment was his hesitation to give the tea to Misty, as he clearly wished he could relive the memories he had with her as a filly, but ultimately made the right choice to give the magical tea to her as well.)

While all of that is going on, Opaline finds out about the chaos happening in the Night Market and decides to take the opportunity to steal the cutie marks from the main six ponies, but she wastes so much time preparing herself in royal attire that once she arrives (via the teleporting power of the Together Tree network, which the Wishing Tree surrounding the Night Market is one of them) the main ponies are already cured and have begun to depart. Frustrated at arriving too late, Opaline decides to not leave empty-handed by stealing the cutie mark of whoever she encounters first, and the unfortunate pony in this case is Onyx (the unicorn poet we've known since the New Generation movie) who did nothing more than try to offer her some tea to help her relax. Unlike the final episode of Chapter 5 of MYM when everyone dismissed Opaline as a Nightmare Night costume and no one had apparently witnessed Posey's cutie mark being stolen, this time Onyx's cutie mark was stolen in plain view of several ponies, who all panicked once they realized what Opaline was capable of. This definitely has me curious just how much all the common ponies might soon become aware of regarding Opaline.

Overall, a rather nice episode that definitely fits in perfectly with where we currently are in the timeline of the G5 series.

Big news this week! Some preview images and a brief trailer for Chapter 6 of Make Your Mark have been revealed yesterday:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/new-teaser-for-my-little-pony-g5-make.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/new-teaser-for-my-little-pony-g5-make.html)

And just hours ago, a one minute preview clip from Chapter 6 of MYM has also been revealed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lt0ZRREVg8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lt0ZRREVg8)

Less than a week ago, we also got news on some upcoming comics. For G5, there's the first issue of a new miniseries "Kenbucky Roller Derby":
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-kenbucky-roller-derby-1.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-kenbucky-roller-derby-1.html)

For the "Classics Reimagined" series featuring G4 characters, the next batch of issues will be based on Romeo & Juliet:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined_20.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/10/my-little-pony-classics-reimagined_20.html)

And, surprise! New episode of Tell Your Tale after only one week rather than two:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qpuzH59VLA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qpuzH59VLA)

Spoiler: ShowHide
So it's yet another episode where one of Pipp's new beauty products goes bad and causes chaos, this time hair softener that's been tainted by some dragon hair from Sparky, causing manes to turn into monsters. And as you might expect, the cure is of course Sparky's dragon fire. Pretty much the only new element from this particular episode is Windy using her Trail Trotters experience to help Pipp along the way. Overall, this is pretty much just a filler episode that's worth watching only once.


Should be noted outside of spoilers, while this episode doesn't exactly have any spoilers for MYM Chapter 6, it does contain a reference that would seem to indicate this episode takes place after the Chapter 6 episodes. I guess we should possibly expect some more confusion among the upcoming TYT episodes until we finally do get to see MYM Chapter 6 next month.

Two comics were released just yesterday. First is part 4 of the Camp Bighoof miniseries:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/11/my-little-pony-camp-bighoof-4-released.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/11/my-little-pony-camp-bighoof-4-released.html)

In addition, we have Issue 18 of the main G5 series:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/11/my-little-pony-generation-5-18-released.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/11/my-little-pony-generation-5-18-released.html)

And it seems Tell Your Tale episodes are now back to a weekly release schedule, so here's this week's new episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uicolKbb-y8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uicolKbb-y8)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This episode apparently takes place immediately after Episode 4 of Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark, because it shows Misty moving into the Brighthouse with her new friends, with much of the episode spent on how she handles living in the same home with Sunny, Izzy, Zipp, and Pipp. For a pony who has lived alone with Opaline for as long as she could remember, it absolutely makes sense that she would be quite overwhelmed by now suddenly living with four rather enthusiastic roommates. When it gets to be too much for Misty, she runs to Bridlewood to talk about it with her dad Alphabittle, who helps her feel better about eventually getting used to her new home. When she returns, she is pleasantly surprised to find that her friends have made adjustments to make her feel more comfortable in her new home. Overall, absolutely a great episode that's worth watching.


For those of you concerned about spoilers, don't worry, this episode definitely fits in right after Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark. Just three more weeks until Chapter 6 finally comes out...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Rec4mDM20 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2Rec4mDM20)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Misty is introduced to another unicorn tradition in Bridlewood known as "Friday Night Food Fight" where everyone disposes of their spoiled food in a town-wide food fight. Even with Izzy on her side, Misty is terrified enough that she runs to her dad Alphabittle in hopes of stopping the apparent madness. When that fails spectacularly, Alphabittle reveals that it was Misty herself back when she was a filly who had accidentally started the tradition, so she now decides to to end it by outright decimating everyone in the food fight. Sure, the tons of action sequences were over the top at times, but once it was all over, Izzy explains to Misty that the ultimate purpose of the food fight was to allow all the spoiled food to be absorbed by the surrounding forest, so it's essentially a fun (albeit very messy) way to spread compost. Overall, while I wouldn't put this episode among my favorites, I found it to be a relatively good one.


Just like last week, this episode fits nicely after Chapter 5 of MYM with no spoilers from Chapter 6, which is now only two weeks away...

Speaking of Chapter 6 spoilers, this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale appears to be absolutely full of them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqFi6jg_iAo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqFi6jg_iAo)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Yeah, whatever happens in Chapter 6 of MYM, this TYT episode would have best fit immediately after it, so in my personal opinion, this one should've waited at least until next week to release. Then again, Chapter 6 is also apparently going to include the Secrets of Starlight special, and from all the promo images and preview clips we've seen, I believe this TYT episode takes place after the three regular episodes of Chapter 6, but Secrets of Starlight occurs after all of that, so perhaps this episode being released now is meant to avoid any confusion for anyone who watches the three regular episodes and then sees how everything is suddenly very different during the special that follows.

Anyway, all that speculation aside, we see Opaline finally makes her existence very well known to everyone in Equestria with a live video proclaiming victory after stealing the cutie marks of virtually every pony, especially five of the main six ponies (including Misty, so Opaline does eventually learn of her switching sides) and holding their power within some kine of amulet (which kind of reminds me of the Infinity Gauntlet used by Thanos in the Marvel movies). Sunny is the only one left standing, and just when it seems Opaline has triumphed over her as well, everyone else watching the video decide to stand united, and their combined magic working together manages to overpower Opaline, which causes all the stolen cutie marks to return and Opaline to not only lose her own cutie mark but also get pulled underground by vines from the Together Trees, though not before defiantly vowing "this isn't over".

I somehow have a feeling we'll see an alternate version of these events when we see Chapter 6 of MYM, much like how a previous TYT episode was mostly a (slightly inaccurate) retelling of the events from the last episode of Chapter 4. I guess we won't know for sure until Chapter 6 finally comes out. Overall, if the timing of this episode's release had been better, I probably would've considered this one of the better episodes because we got to see the conclusion of a major story arc. As things are at the moment, we're currently missing a lot of context for this story arc, which I'm sure will finally be filled in once we see MYM Chapter 6 next week. I think I'll reassess my thoughts on this episode after we finally get the full picture.


Thank goodness we're now just one week away from the official release of MYM Chapter 6, so we can finally stop needing to concern ourselves with spoilers. As I have done previously, I'll make a post the day before and then later edit it with summaries and my thoughts as I watch each episode. Of course, seeing as it happens to fall right on Thanksgiving Day, I'll probably try getting this done very early in the morning, perhaps even practically minutes after it becomes available to watch.
Title: Re: The My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic Thread

Tomorrow, Chapter 6 of Make Your Mark will finally become available to watch on Netflix, consisting of three 22-minute episodes followed by one 44-minute special. As usual, I'll edit this post with summaries and my thoughts (behind spoiler tags as always) on each episode as I watch them. Due to family plans regarding Thanksgiving Day tomorrow, I'll be doing this at a much earlier time than I have done previously. Not to mention, I'd like to keep this post separate from whatever weekly news I'd like to share if there also happens to be a new Tell Your Tale episode tomorrow as well. Anyway, let's see how this (supposedly final) chapter plays out...

1: The Isle of Scaly
Spoiler: ShowHide
Picking up right where the end of Chapter 5 left off, the main six ponies fly in the Marestream to the Dragonlands, specifically the Isle of Scaly from the magic map. As soon as they arrive, the Marestream suddenly loses power and barely avoids crash-landing thanks to some quick thinking from Izzy. Soon after they land, they quickly encounter a group of dragons. While some are skeptical of the ponies, others are more open and reveal that two of them had recently been captured by Opaline. After much discussion, the ponies and dragons agree for some ponies and dragons to stay with the Marestream to try repairing it while the rest of both groups go to meet with the Dragon Lord, who turns out to be none other than Spike himself from the G4 series. Despite his memory being foggy due to having just woken up from a magically induced hibernation like all the other dragons, Spike is able to explain how Opaline had showed up after her banishment from the alicorn city of Skyros and in her desire to take all magic for herself, she became a fire alicorn after stealing some dragon magic, which prompted Twilight to not only keep Opaline out of Equestria with a magical shield but also put all the dragons to sleep in an effort to protect all forms of magic. After finishing the story, the other dragons remain indecisive on what to do, but Sunny's words of encouragement inspire them all to agree to help the ponies stop Opaline for good. As they prepare to leave, Spike takes a moment to note that Sparky is a very special dragon for having the ability to transform objects with his dragon fire, and decides to let Sparky stay with the ponies based on Spike's own memories of being raised by ponies. At the Marestream, the ponies are confused that the magical lantern that powers the vehicle is somehow weakened and continues to lose magical energy no matter what they do, but at least once the dragons agree to help, they decide to carry the ponies as they fly to Equestria. Meanwhile, Opaline has placed the two captured dragons under a spell and used them to help her steal cutie marks from several ponies from all over Equestria.

I definitely liked this episode a lot, enough that I'd call it one of my favorites of the entire series (though that could changes once I see the next two episodes). Sure, the dragons here look very different from what we saw in the previous generation of MLP, but I do like how they seem to have different abilities through their dragon fire, such as wind or light or water (we already know Sparky can transform objects, and if we want to count what we remember about Spike his would probably be teleporting objects). One fact from Spike's story I found interesting is that the Dragon Stone that Opaline had retrieved back in one of the Chapter 4 episodes is actually similar to the Unity Crystals in terms of how Twilight was able to keep Opaline from taking the magic of their respective groups. The part with Opaline hypnotizing those two dragons consisted of a song where Opaline pretty much brags about being evil and proud of it. Finally, while Spike doesn't make any specific references to his past from the G4 era (blame his fuzzy memory for now), you could tell from the way he speaks that he really could be a much older version of that same little dragon we remember (despite obviously having a much deeper voice), and it was certainly nice to see how excited Sunny was to finally meet someone who was actually there to experience all the legendary events that she had heard as stories from her late father. Overall, a great episode in my opinion, and with the action now about to really get underway, I'm eager to see what happens next.


2: Roots of All Evil (Part 1)
Spoiler: ShowHide
By the time the main six ponies return with the dragons, Opaline has already corrupted all three of the Together Trees and used them to rapidly steal cutie marks from the majority of the other ponies. With the dragons suddenly getting weaker, they learn from Misty how Opaline has been using the Dragon Stone, so Spike decides he and the other dragons will go to Opaline's castle to take it back, bringing Sparky with them since it was his special dragon fire that was taken by the stone first. Unfortunately, the dragons end up falling into Opaline's trap and she is able to enchant all of them, except Sparky who was able to stay hidden behind Spike. Meanwhile, as Hitch helps the Maretime Bay ponies by staying together near the Together Tree, the other main ponies check on the Unity Crystals, but while those artifacts are okay for now, Zipp is suddenly able to piece together the mystery and explains to her friends how the Together Trees act like portals between each other and that Opaline is able to use them to steal all the cutie marks so quickly, with Misty revealing that it was possible because there's a fourth Together Tree in Opaline's castle that was never able to grow well because Opaline absolutely refused to practice any unity, which is what really powers those trees. Now realizing the full scale of what's really going on, Hitch maintains his guard duty in Maretime Bay, Izzy speeds on her scooter to Bridlewood, Pipp and Zipp fly to Zephyr Heights, and Sunny and Misty remain at the Brighthouse to keep an eye on the Unity Crystals. Soon after, Opaline returns to Maretime Bay, now wearing an amulet with open slots for a very specific group of cutie marks. Hitch puts up a valiant fight on his own, but Opaline is eventually able to bring him down and take his cutie mark, causing one of the six colors of the Prisbeam magic of the Unity Crystals to disappear, a devastation that everyone all over Equestria immediately recognizes.

Okay, so some events from this episode (and the next one) were already spoiled by last week's Tell Your Tale episode, but I knew we would see those events extended out more in ways that would actually make sense (and probably make this two-part episode much better as a result). Specifically, now we know why Hitch was the first to fall and why Izzy went to Bridlewood while Zipp and Pipp went to Zephyr Heights (though it seems only the next episode will reveal how Misty ended up confronting Opaline in Zephyr Heights). While it was great to see the main ponies finally understand the full picture of what's really going on, it was quite a shame to see the dragons completely fail so quickly (though perhaps Sparky staying hidden might allow him to do something significant to help the heroes). Also, I just want to come out and say it; that amulet that Opaline made for herself with its open slots immediately made me think of the Infinity Gauntlet from the Marvel movies. Overall, I'm very excited at seeing how much the action has picked up to this point, and I now look forward to see how it all concludes in the next episode...


3: Roots of All Evil (Part 2)
Spoiler: ShowHide
Opaline's next move is to try breaking through the magic shield protecting the Brighthouse, but after Opaline drops her amulet in the process, Misty takes it as a diversion, distracting Opaline by admitting that she had turned against her after finding true friends. Opaline is unable to find Misty, but does manage to retrieve her amulet, so she decides to go to Zephyr Heights next, unaware that Misty has followed her through the tree portal. When Opaline confronts Pipp and Zipp, Pipp tries to distract Opaline by showing how her cutie mark becomes especially powerful while she's singing, and with the "better acoustics" of the old hangar room, Zipp uses the diversion to trap Opaline under one of the deflated hot air balloons lying around, but Opaline quickly breaks free and takes their cutie marks. Just as Opaline prepares to leave for Bridlewood, Misty stands up to her, finally revealing her newly acquired cutie mark and explaining how she got it by embracing true friendship, but Opaline just brushes her off and takes her cutie mark before departing. In Bridlewood, the unicorns attempt to fight off Opaline by pelting her with rotten food, and while Izzy is able to get away thanks to briefly fooling her with a fake cutie mark she had crafted, the enslaved dragons quickly stop her, allowing Opaline to take her cutie mark. Meanwhile Sunny has watched helplessly as all but one of the Prisbeam colors vanish, but Zipp calls to inform her that she has realized the Together Trees are really powered by the unity expressed by ponies, so with the message out for all ponies to gather close to their local Together Tree, Sunny decides to take the fight directly to Opaline and confronts her at her castle, taking with her the ruby heart locket she had been gifted from the Breezies. Sunny puts up a good fight, but ultimately falls and Opaline is able to take the last remaining cutie mark, allowing her to break every single protective spell all over Equestria. However, it was right after that moment when all the ponies all over Equestria begin singing together, spreading unity magic to remove Opaline's corruption from the Together Trees, which inspires Sunny so much that the locket opens to release a rainbow that ensnares Opaline. At the same time, Sparky is able to break Spike out of Opaline's enchantment, allowing him to use his teleportation dragon fire to help Sparky grab the Dragon Stone and release all the dragon fire magic back to the dragons. This then causes the fourth Together Tree to release all of the stolen cutie marks back to the ponies they belong to and it also starts absorbing the unity magic from the other tress, allowing it to come alive by taking away Opaline's cutie mark and entrapping her within its roots. Spike is able to get everyone outside just in time to watch that Together Tree grow so much that it completely engulfs Opaline's castle. After Spike then brings the rest of the main ponies to join Sunny, he lets Sparky decide where he wants to live, and the baby dragon chooses to stay with Hitch. After Spike and the other dragons begin flying back home, a portal opens at the newly grown together tree, releasing some snowflakes, one of which somehow turns Izzy into some kind of crystal pony.

Just like the previous episode, I knew last week's Tell Your tale episode gave hints to the events of this episode, such as why Pipp was singing to Opaline down in the old hangar, how Misty came to confront Opaline at the Together Tree in Zephyr Heights, the part where Izzy briefly fooled Opaline with a fake cutie mark, what drove Sunny to go alone to Opaline's castle, and how the unity magic from everypony turned the fourth Together Tree against Opaline. Perhaps the most glaring difference from the TYT episode was the complete absence of any dragons, especially the decisive part Sparky played. Also strangely absent was the contribution of that magical ruby heart locket, which (from the rumors I've heard) is based on something similar from G1 of MLP. Anyway, some other things of note in this episode was near the end where Spike makes significant use of his special dragon fire power to teleport things. Especially adorable was Sparky choosing to stay with Hitch while speaking his first word "home". I also look forward to the possibility of seeing Spike again in whatever series continues the G5 storyline. However, with the way this episode ended, it seems we're immediately going straight into the Secrets of Starlight special, though with the epic conclusion I felt from this episode, I don't have high hopes for that special being able to really stand out in comparison. Overall, an absolutely epic way to conclude the main story arc of Make Your Mark, making the entire series worth watching. Now to see what this apparently bonus special can contribute...


4: Secrets of Starlight
Spoiler: ShowHide
The main six ponies wonder why a new portal has opened at the giant tree where Opaline's castle used to be, and after some magical snowflakes turn them all into sparkly versions of themselves, they decide to go through and investigate. They find themselves in a winter wonderland, and despite the gradually shrinking portal, they decide to visit the nearby town. The place looks deserted at first, but they soon find all the residents celebrating inside the main hall. Once the main six make their presence known, the locals are startled and hide, but after some friendly assurance, two of them (a mare named Violet Frost and a stallion named Comet) open up to them and explain that they are "auroricorns" who live in the town of Starlight Ridge, and while they love their home very much, they have never been able to find out anything about other places. The auroricorns then cautiously agree to share some fun activities with them such as ice skating, sledding, and making ice sculptures. As they complete each fun activity, an aurora bursts in the sky, but the auroricorns become suspiciously apprehensive every time it happens. Even stranger is when a town bell rings and all the auroricorns suddenly insist on going to sleep and tell the main six to go home.

While the portal still remains barely open, the main six soon come to a consensus that they have been brought here for a good reason and decide to return to the town to find out what's going on. When they arrive, they discover all the auroricorns entranced with forced smiles and wandering around with some crystals plucked from the aurora bursts in the sky, with the monster causing it being some leopard creature named Allura (hope I spelled that right) with a bratty rabbit assistant name Twitch. The main ponies are able to break Violet Frost and Comet out of their trances by dragging them far enough away from town, so the two auroricorns explain how Allura had taken over control of Starlight Ridge by taking possession of some sacred relic (I can't remember what it was called) and has been enchanting them with some persuasion magic to force them to be happy enough to make aurora bursts and try finding the one star crystal that can open portals to other realms. With this information, the group of ponies decide the best way to stop Allura is to take back the stolen relic. They come very close to succeeding, but the plan falls apart at the last second, so Allura responds by enchanting the other ponies until only Sunny and Violet are left. However, when a mishap causes one of the enchanted ponies to break free just from slipping and falling into some snow, Sunny remembers an earlier remark that the snow of this realm has special healing properties, so they simply throw snowballs at their friends and they all do the same for all the auroricorns, overwhelming Allura so much that they're able to take the relic from her and she is forced to leave for now.

After letting Violet have the relic and thus become the new leader of Starlight Ridge, the main ponies are dismayed to discover the portal has vanished. However, another mishap breaks open the relic, revealing a star crystal that is able to open a portal, meaning Allura had what she wanted the whole time and never even realized it. As the main ponies prepare to return home, Comet declares that he wants to go with them and explore Equestria, so they agree to let him join them, with Izzy keeping that crystal so they can reopen the portal back to Starlight Ridge whenever they want to. Later, as the auroricorns celebrate, Twitch overhears them talking about how the outsider ponies were able to open a portal, so he shares the information with Allura, and with that portal still open, she and Twitch do not hesitate to go through.

Well, with the rumors that Make Your Mark was being discontinued at the end of this chapter, I was hoping for a final conclusion, like we pretty much got in the previous episode. Instead, it finishes off with a special that seems to set the stage for the next story arc, much like the special from Chapter 1 had done. However G5 is able to continue the story arc from here (especially with the introduction of Comet as apparently a seventh member of the main group of friends), one thing I anticipate from fan content would be shipping between Izzy and Comet, based on how those two frequently interacted with each other. I do at least appreciate how a one point during the battle that the main six ponies identify themselves by their supposed elements (Hope for Sunny, Kindness for Hitch, Courage for Zipp, Confidence for Pipp, Creativity for Izzy, and Empathy for Misty). I honestly don't have much more to say here (I guess my lack of sleep is really catching up to me now, and I'm pretty sure I might already be forgetting some details), so I'll just say that, overall, this special was rather average in comparison, with the current uncertainty of how the story will continue from here making it very difficult to really appreciate what it did manage to accomplish.


And that's it for Chapter 6 of Make Your Mark. Personally, I think it would've been best to have the final chapter of Make Your Mark consist of just the three regular episodes and make the Secrets of Starlight special be the first part of some entirely separate series. I don't know what will be next as far as G5 content goes. I do remember that Tell Your Tale was initially made with a total of 70 episodes, so there will definitely be at least three more yet to come. After that? Well, we'll just have to wait and find out.

Spoiler: ShowHide
This episode obviously follows the events of the Secrets of Starlight special at the end of Chapter 6 of Make Your Mark. An invitation to attend a fancy celebration in Starlight Ridge provides us with an opportunity to see the realm and its auroricorns in the TYT animation style. Aside from various gags, pretty much the only thing that really happens in this episode is Sunny getting paranoid over hearing what she believes might be the sound of the evil snow leopard Allura. While Sunny's friends are ultimately able to help her get over her supposedly irrational fears, we do see that Allura and her rabbit minion Twitch have indeed followed the ponies into Equestria. Overall, a rather modest episode that does little more than prepare this series for the next story arc.


Thank goodness we no longer have to be concerned with spoilers in these upcoming TYT episodes, now that Chapter 6 of MYM is finally available to watch.

Everyone is preparing to put on a holiday themed talent show, but Sunny puts a lot of pressure on all of her friends to perform excellently due to a renowned critic attending among the audience. The acts fall apart at first under the pressure, but once Sunny recognizes her mistake and allows everyone to relax and just be themselves, the rest of the show goes great. After the show, the critic turns out to not be the pony Sunny had assumed, but was actually Windy disguised as one of the chairs, who gives a very positive review. Overall, a pretty average episode with not much to make it really stand out at all.

As far as the comics go, it seems the main series is ending on the upcoming Issue 20, and what we'll see after that will instead be a bunch of mini series and one-offs, so while the comics remain ongoing, it seems they will no longer be connected in a single long-running series. For example, one of these upcoming one-offs was recently revealed:
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/12/my-little-pony-mane-event-one-shot.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2023/12/my-little-pony-mane-event-one-shot.html)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M92gip4zKzk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M92gip4zKzk)

Spoiler: ShowHide
The main ponies are attempting to tell the rest of Equestria about the events of Secrets of Starlight by making a movie about it (presumably making use of the Canterlove Studio they had renovated back in Chapter 4 of Make Your Mark). However, Pipp has such a huge desire for drama and action that it frequently comes at the expense of historical accuracy, which frustrates Sunny several times until things reach a breaking point, at which point Pipp finally notices that the other ponies involved in making the movie are not enjoying all of her ridiculous additions to the script and she eventually agrees with Sunny that the real story on its own is already exciting enough. For me, much of this episode was a little difficult to watch, as I completely agreed with Sunny that much of Pipp's deviations from the real story became increasingly ridiculous, especially once Comet was brought in near the end. Overall, while not really a terrible episode, it's also not exactly a very good episode either in my opinion, so I guess I'd call this a rather mediocre way to end the first full season of Tell Your Tale.


And apparently, Episode 70 marks the end of Season 1 of Tell Your Tale. A second season is definitely coming up early next year, though it's currently unknown when exactly the first episode of the new season will become available to watch.

Well, looks like Season 2 of Tell Your Tale has just begun. From what I've heard, it seems these episodes will be coming out once a week, with the first 22-minute special due to come out sometime in March. Anyway, here's this week's new episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHdrD2NKBw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEHdrD2NKBw)

Spoiler: ShowHide
A fairly typical day in Maretime Bay is interrupted when Zipp discovers a mysteriously icy area in the forest (despite presumably warm weather) and decides to send a message to Hitch to inform him, but a slip on the ice causes her to accidentally send that message to literally every pony in Equestria. With everyone suddenly panicking, Zipp quickly assures them all that she'll figure out the mystery, and with help from Sunny, they discover that Allura and Twitch have somehow left Starlight Ridge and arrived in Equestria. Sunny and Zipp are able to sneak away unnoticed and inform their friends. After the six of them reassure themselves with their cutie mark magic, Zipp informs every pony that Allura really is in Equestria, but assures them that things will be okay as long as they all stick together.

Not much really happened in this episode, but I do appreciate that they're not going to leave the main ponies completely unaware of their greatest threat like they were with Opaline for much of the previous story arc. This time, they will definitely know right from the first episode that Allura really is going to be someone they must watch out for. They may not know how she came to Equestria or why, but at least for now she doesn't know that they know about her, so that gives the ponies an early advantage. Overall, a rather mediocre episode, but nicely informative enough to serve as a decent first episode of the new story arc.

First of all, I forgot last week that I don't need to summarize these episodes before I state my thoughts since anyone can watch them on YouTube, so I won't bother wasting my time on that going forward. Anyway, I found this episode just got more and more ridiculous as it progressed. The carnival theme seemed okay at first. Misty being unfamiliar with it was understandable, but her unprepared status being spontaneously resolved by magic was a little absurd. Pipp's costume being too oversized and Misty and Izzy solving the problem with a little unicycling ingenuity was actually not that bad in my view. Then just when I think the episode will end on a standard high as yet another mediocre episode, there's suddenly some random tradition that only Izzy among the main ponies remembers about being pelted by fruit, which of course ruins everything for Pipp once again. The final solution? The main ponies calling out their special talents to magically resolve everything. I now feel like G5 is falling into the same deux ex machina trap that G4 had with their Elements of Harmony (albeit without the more blatant necessity of any physical objects), and now that we've seen it being applied strongly in both of the first two episodes, I honestly do not like it. Overall, it's not looking like a good start to the new season, in my opinion.

It's Sparky's birthday (though it's not specified how old he is), and as you might expect, his transforming dragon fire causes trouble, this time by turning the cake into a giant destructive dragon. Much of the episode was okay as we saw several failed efforts to stop that cake dragon, ultimately ending with Hitch using his earth pony magic to catch it in a giant flower. Hitch then compromises with Sparky's birthday wish for a sibling by using his earth pony magic to convert the cake dragon into a plush dragon, which Sparky is happy with. As weird as that ending seemed, I was more dismayed by once again hearing the main characters specifically declare their element before unleashing their magically convenient solution (though this time it was just Hitch rather than all six of them, so at least that's somewhat of an improvement). I feel as if these new episodes are being written as if we had never seen any other episode before, which seems kind of pointless in my opinion. I guess the rumors that G5 going forward would be catered to a much younger audience might be proving somewhat accurate, so while I'll continue watch for the sake of awareness, I now don't have high hopes for the rest of Season 2.

With how often we've seen Jazz and Rocky enjoy being together, I'm surprised it took this long for a romantic attraction between them to be confirmed. What does not surprise me is the majority of this episode has the main six trying to help Jazz with asking out Rocky, with all efforts predictably failing spectacularly (I'm not a fan of cringe humor, so that's a big negative for me). Not much else to this episode, but at least I'm glad there's no power call-out this time like the last three episodes had, so that gives me a little hope for future episodes. Overall, a rather mediocre episode that I feel like should've been made much earlier.

Okay, finally an episode that actually caught my interest. Misty follows a flying magic book and stumbles into a secret room inside the Brighthouse, but her main concern is making the door out of the room reappear so she can escape. She eventually succeeds (though not without a few mishaps) after she realizes the book she followed is a magic spell book that'll teach her all kinds of magic spells, with the first such spell she learns being how to make the door appear whenever she wants to visit the secret room again. This is very significant for G5, as virtually all unicorns have done little more with their magic than basic levitation, with none of the complex spells we remember from G4's unicorns, so this really opens the door (no pun intended) to possibly seeing these G5 unicorns relearn some of those lost spells, with Misty being the one to rediscover them and possibly even share some of those spells with her fellow unicorns. In addition, it was hard to miss the stained glass windows in the secret room depicting the G4 ponies, and unless I'm mistaken, this might be the first time ever in TYT that any direct reference to G4 has been made, albeit as merely background images. Even so, this episode had its lesser moments in my opinion, such as that spell book just spontaneously show up at the beginning, along with Misty reciting her power-up call-out to cast her spell to escape the secret room. Overall, easily my favorite episode of Season 2 thus far, though that's honestly not saying much.

Not much new this week, so here's the latest new episode of Tell Your Tale (and just from seeing the image before watching it, I can tell this is going to be a rather significant episode):

This episode features Misty and Izzy, along with Violette Rainbow (a unicorn filly introduced in Issue 14 of the official G5 comic series), which is significant as I honestly can't think of any MLP character (of any generation) who was introduced in the comics and later made a notable appearance in the main show. Even so, this episode doesn't really reveal much about Violette for those of us who have not read that comic (myself included, as I've only seen bits and pieces shared publicly online). This episode also includes the breezies, though only as a catalyst for the "Swirlpool Starlight" to appear, allowing the three unicorns to glimpse into their futures. Those visions begin with a review of their pasts, so while Violette and Izzy embrace their visions, Misty is initially terrified, but assurances from her friends allows her to get through her harsh beginnings to see that she really does have a bright future ahead of her. Overall, a rather nice episode on its own, though it does leave me wondering if Violette (or anything else from the comics) might make another appearance somewhere down the road.

Well... this is awkwardly weird...

It's Thursday, which means there should be a new episode of Tell Your Tale coming out today. There is a new episode that has released in several languages... but not English? :confused

Since I'm not fluent in any other language (not to mention, I personally don't trust a dub in other languages to be entirely accurate, especially since TYT had apparently recast all the foreign voice actors for Season 2 for seemingly no reason), I can't watch the new episode just yet. As soon as the English version, in one form or another, finally does become available, I'll edit this post to provide a link and share my thoughts on the episode. (Such a pity, because from the bits and pieces I'm hearing about so far, this could be a very interesting episode.)

EDIT
I probably shouldn't be awake at this hour, but as soon as I found out that the English version of the new episode finally went up, I decided to immediately watch it, as well as share the link here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=950N2owgNR0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=950N2owgNR0)

Spoiler: ShowHide
Sunny feels insecure over the thought she might be the only remaining alicorn, so Zipp offers to help her find answers, by searching through the ruins of Opaline's castle. After a lot of searching, they eventually find a tapestry depicting several alicorns, and the presence of Sunny's magic causes it to animate into another depiction of several alicorns. They are soon forced to leave with the tapestry as a rave by a bunch of racoonicorns finally causes the entire structure to completely collapse. For me, this episode was more than worth the extra wait for several reasons. We got to revisit Opaline's castle in the aftermath of her final defeat, though it doesn't quite match up to how we saw its destruction in Make Your Mark chapter 6. Also worth noting is that Make Your Mark had made references to an alicorn realm named Skyros, so the discovery made in this episode gives us hope that we might even get to see that place later on in the series. At this point, there are multiple paths the storyline could go down from here, and now I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next. Overall, definitely my favorite episode of Season 2 thus far, and possibly even my favorite of all TYT episodes, so that's really saying something.

Last week, the second part of the Kenbucky Roller Derby miniseries comic was released:

Some more Tell Your Tale episodes are now available to watch on Netflix:

Also worth noting is that a couple days ago, the next two episodes of Tell Your Tale were accidentally made available to watch, through they were quickly taken off after a few hours. I chose not to watch them or post any links, since I correctly assumed they had leaked early. I guess Hasbro has rather poor quality control on their YouTube channels lately...

Anyway, one of those early leaked episodes has now officially released, so here it is:

An Easter themed episode means lots of bunnies to deal with. I normally don't care much at all for episodes that feature makeovers, though at least this one has an interesting addition with Allura and Twitch making their first move in Equestria. Allura sees the Nova Charm she seeks (or something resembling it) among Pipp's accessories, so she gets the idea to send out Twitch to blend in with the countless bunnies to retrieve it, much to the evil rabbit's displeasure. Of course, he gets so caught up in the chaos that he misses out on his opportunity, and by the time he realizes it, he's left with no option but to stay with all the bunnies for the upcoming celebration. Overall, aside from a reminder that Allura and Twitch are still a hidden threat, this was an otherwise forgettable episode.

A new video game was announced just a couple days ago! "My Little Pony: A Zephyr Heights Mystery"
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2024/03/brand-new-g5-my-little-pony-zephyr.html (https://www.equestriadaily.com/2024/03/brand-new-g5-my-little-pony-zephyr.html)

If you remember the first game that came out almost two years ago (A Maretime Bay Adventure), this upcoming game will be mostly similar, with perhaps the most significant improvement being that you'll be able to play as all of the main six ponies rather than just Sunny. Expect it to be available on May 17, which is two months from now. Oh, and here's the official trailer for that game:

Also, the 2017 MLP movie will be removed from Netflix this coming Monday:

As for this week's new episode of Tell Your Tale, it apparently released a few hours early at some time last night, but I decided to stay consistent and wait until today to share the link and my comments:

Another Easter themed episode, though this one was more interesting with the sudden appearance of a giant egg in the middle of town and no one has any idea what it is. As the main six ponies react to it in various ways, they eventually discover buttons depicting their cutie marks that they must press, sometimes requiring parts of the egg to be twisted around like a giant puzzle. Once they complete the puzzle, the egg cracks open to release a pastel phoenix that spreads chocolate eggs all over town. Some details I found notable was Misty reading her new spell book to speculate the egg might contain a phoenix (though she misidentifies it as a "flaming bird of terror" which later causes the other ponies to be briefly terrified when the egg is opened), and the return of Eggmund Bunny from last year's Easter themed episode (who is revealed to have gifted the giant egg to the town, but had failed to include his instructions due to being overwhelmed by caring for his dozens of baby bunnies). Overall, a rather interesting episode, but that's all I can really say about it.

Two weeks without any new episodes. (Not to mention, it's the end of the month when the first of the 22-minute specials was supposedly scheduled for release.)
At this rate, I think it's become obvious that there's essentially no real schedule at all, regarding Tell Your Tale on YouTube. :facepalm

Regardless, I might as well get this page caught up on some other news over the past couple weeks...

The one-shot comic "Mane Event" officially released last week:

Some upcoming comics have also been announced...
