Boast Busters
First thing on my screen is Spike. This should be a good episode. Spike has a crush on Rarity. I think this was mentioned in the first two episodes but I had forgotten about it since it has been awhile. He is right though, that is a sweet mustache.
Twilight Sparkle’s two lines in this opening are the most likable she has been so far. Hopefully she stops failing and becomes likable. Also it has taken me five episodes to realize when the ponies are blushing but I’ve got it on lockdown now I think. When I pause a scene to write something if I do it at the right time Twilight looks super pissed even though she has a pretty neutral look on her face because her eyes seem narrowed when she is just batting her eyelashes. That was random of me I know.
Oh dear Trixie is a bit of a show off huh. Judging by title this episode is going to be about her being a fake and Twilight Sparkle being victorious.
Spike is so amazing while Rarity just looks completely confused. It is okay Rarity, maybe someday you will understand just how awesome Spike is.
Rainbow Dash’s arrogance is making me want to pause and write a Doom story here and now. Applejack with the glare; I appreciate that.
Okay while Rainbow Dash sucks Trixie is doing this right. She is hilarious. It is that smirk. Or maybe it is the cape, I have always loved capes. Like the wizard’s hat too. Also it helps to know that she is not going to be a main character. Main characters can’t afford to have arrogant and annoying gimmicks it gets too boring too fast.
Also the great and powerful Trixie is amazing. She is a great troll.
Also prediction: She kicks the other pony’s asses because they are way too ready to fight and then Twilight Sparkle finally has enough and completely dismantles her. I act as if this is some hard prediction to make, mind you.
Rainbow Dash finds a way to be annoying even when she is trying to combat someone annoying. So gross. Rainbow at the end was impressive though.
Also perhaps a bit of a nitpick at a children’s cartoon show but she isn’t actually doing anything better than the ponies. She’s just making them look bad.
But she did zap the worst pony so Trixie is awesome.
Epic Rarity speech about style.
…Green haired pony’s reaction to Rarity’s reaction about green hair is amazing. That was good.
I guess she isn’t a fake like I first thought. At least, not completely.
Dumb minions are a good use of the trope.
Twilight Sparkle being dumb again. Spike destroying Twilight in logic and intelligence. Come on Twilight I have an obsession with main characters pick your game up it isn’t hard to get me to like you.
That bear is awesome.
And Trixie is running for her life haha, what a failure.
Okay so this is more serious than I thought the episode would be but Twilight is still going to show Trixie up so I guess that works out.
Do not think it has escaped my notice the complete lack of Pinkie Pie by the way. I am disappointed as hell in this episode.
Oh holy hell Twilight is broken as hell. Dumb as rocks, but broken as hell. And then she apologizes. Dumb as rocks indeed.
Oh and don’t think Pinkie Pie’s half a second of screen time appeased me. I do not approve.
