Board 8 > Sir Chris and My Little Pony: Where Failure is met with Doctor Doom. (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Griffon the Brush-Off

Episode starts with Pinkie Pie this is going to be my favorite episode so far. Bold prediction.

Rainbow Dash being annoyed at Pinkie Pie completely proving that Rainbow Dash is terrible. Haha, she slammed into a mountain this pleases me. It is amazing how Rainbow Dash just keeps digging her grave deeper and deeper. The Doctor Doom that has taken up residence in my mind is already looking forward to the glorious torture that he shall inflict upon this fool.

Also how can they even see Rainbow Dash up there that is not how clouds are supposed to work I object to the physics of this.

Pinkie Pie being faster than Rainbow Dash is just like the old Looney Toons skit with the skunk oh god Pinkie Pie just keeps getting better and better. The hopping, sound effects and all, are simply slaying me.

“Hi again!’ oh my god Pinkie Pie please stop you are too strong.

More hopping! More hopping! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Also Rainbow Dash proves she is a very stupid pony If she wanted to get away from Pinkie Pie why not just hide in the sky.

Oh god Pinkie Pie causing trouble and now has the hiccups. Oh no Pinkie Pie is hanging out with my arch nemesis say it isn’t so Pinkie Pie. Oh but they are pranking Rarity okay I can get behind this I guess.

When Pinkie Pie laughs at pranks a song flows through my heart. When Rainbow Dash does it I want the entire world to suffer tremendously.

See Pinkie Pie has betrayed her partner in crime amazing.

This Griffon is threatening to be below Rainbow Dash she is trying way too hard to be hip.

Okay so in another example of BETRYAL and awfulness Rainbow Dash leaves poor Pinkie Pie by herself. Pinkie Pie is awesome and she is clearly upset at this but Rainbow Dash is too emotionally immature to bother with all of that god damnit Doom is going to gut that pony so badly it will be glorious and bloody.

Pinkie Pie with the unexpected trampoline.

“Oh Pinkie Pie, you are so random.” Score one for Rainbow Dash.

And then this Griffon who is terrible and now officially my least favorite character gives Pinkie Pie a jealous look.

Red informs me that the Griffon is meant to be hated. I let him know I find it strange that in a show meant for little children they would teach something like hatred. He could only laugh at how strangely accurate my point is.

Pinkie Pie with the balloons keeps just being honest. I just like how cheerful and nice she is all the time while being completely funny. Either her or Fluttershy is going to start displaying serial killer tendencies, you can’t have two very nice archetypes in the same show I think.

Griffon with the epic lameness of popping the balloons only for Pinkie Pie to come back with a flying machine. You CANNOT EVEN HOPE TO CONTAIN THE LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP THAT PINKIE PIE HAS IN HER HEART YOU FOOL.

Pinkie Pie is mad. Pinkie Pie should just destroy the universe.

…Twilight Sparkle just accused the great Pinkie Pie of being jealous.

Someone is moving down the rankings and meeting Doctor Doom.

Twilight Sparkle is basically always wrong when it comes to stuff like this. Always wrong. Why can’t she ever be right. Now she is having the greatest of all of the ponies doubt herself. This is just sad.

Pinkie Pie observes Gilda being a thief and she seems really mad. Pinkie Pie should crush her foe into the palm of her hand. Do it Pinkie Pie!

I would like to take the time to note that Pinkie Pie may be starring alongside Doctor Doom in any Pony spinoffs I might do as his loyal and psychotic lab assistant.

Oh come on you pick on Fluttershy? Kind, small sounding Fluttershy? That’s low.

Oh god Pinkie Pie is entering Speech mode. She is mad.

EXTREME MEASURES Pinkie Pie style.

Your auntie Pinkie Pie is going to take care of it!

Also I find out Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie Pie. Not surprising.

Oh god Pinkie Pie is not screwing around. Electric handshake and Gilda is down on the ground! Yes! Yes Pinkie Pie! Harness your rage and destroy her!

“I know what you are up to.”

“Great ^_^.”

“I know what you are planning.”

“*giggle*. I hope so. This wasn’t supposed to be a SURPRISE party!”

“I…mean I’ve got my eye on you.”

“AND I got my eye on you!”

Pinkie Pie just keeps getting better and better. I like how her statements can both be generically nice and amazingly subtle threats unto themselves. (Post Episode note: It was staring me in the face but I didn't want to believe it.)

…Gilda literally knocked Spike out of the way my god can she just go drop off a cliff now? What? It’s a children’s show? Who cares!

“Why? Can’t you watch me like a Griffon?”

Oh my god Pinkie Pie is destroying her.

And then Gilda went crazy because Pinkie Pie had managed to own her so much that she totally lost it and thought she was being pranked again.

I like how she is having what I affectionally refer to as a Von Karma breakdown she is claiming she has not lost her cool. Good job.

Oh plot twist I gave Pinkie Pie too much credit. Or rather she is awesome and totally sweet and not as devious as I thought. Well that’s a bit of a shame. Okay I was going to have to have Pinkie Pie as 1 AND 2 on my rankings so it goes to show that even top tier characters can’t steal the entire show.

Okay well Rainbow Dash had a bit of a redeeming episode but she’s still the worst pony. I might have a little more mercy at this juncture when I feed her to Doom though.

Well maybe they're worse in the early episodes I dunno.

I would like to go on record as saying that Cupcakes fanfic is so horribly underwhelming. It's really not sickening or anything like that at all.

And anyway, I'm forced to watch this show every Saturday by my wife (who's a major fan) and I can objectively say it will get better from here, then suddenly take a big swerve downward in quality that it has yet to bounce back from.

My own ranking of the mane 6 have pretty much stayed the same with Applejack moving up after Applebuck Season.
1. Rarity. She is so far ahead of the rest that they could run her character into the ground for an entire season and she'd still be my favorite.
2. Pinkie Pie. I believe my psyche is 4 parts Rarity, 3 parts Pinkie Pie and 1 part Twilight Sparkle
3. Twilight Sparkle. Unicorns > all. She generally has the best facial expressions too.
Large gap
4. Applejack. Great quotes like 'fancy mathematics', but still a tad annoying.
Large gap
5. Rainbow Dash. Horrible and a jerk, but in a completely uninteresting way.
6. Fluttershy. I'd say she ties for my least favorite with Rainbow Dash, but the fans with their irrational love for her somehow makes me like her even less.

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.

Dragonshy

This appears to be a Fluttershy episode by the name and the opening scene which has Fluttershy spitting at birds for them to eat worms. How precious.

This bunny is quite epic. Also when Fluttershy is dumb it is cute and precious, when Twilight is dumb it is annoying. Be more cute Twilight and maybe you might have a future as a top two pony. I doubt it though. Big scary smoke out of nowhere is going to be the plot for this episode it seems. I am guessing this will involve a dragon.

Also I know Fluttershy has a small voice but the other ponies should really at least notice her.

Oh crap Pinkie Pie wanting to celebrate yes this episode is now already better than the last one.

Pinkie Pie’s manic grin is great. Also Fluttershy’s quiet voice is hilarious when Twilight just is like “hey listen” and there you go. Poor Fluttershy needs to work on her public speaking.

Also the princess should actually be a queen this actually bothers me.

Rainbow Dash being terrible again trying to break priceless artifacts. Although I will say that this episode is a bit more focused on the group than I thought it would be. Pinkie Pie is such a fourth wall breaking fiend. Fluttershy isn’t exactly my cup of tea normally but while most of the other ponies are a bit loud so the contrast is actually welcome.

Twilight Sparkle being a terrible friend to Fluttershy by basically first ignoring her, then pressuring her to leave her responsibilities in order to take up this fanciful task, and then when Fluttershy expresses concern she just walks away. I am going to be so mad if this all works out in Twilight’s favor because Flttershy is the only one who can save the day. I feel Doom creeping up on Twilight more and more, even from that 4 spot.

Rainbow Dash once again being terrible and then being validated by Fluttershy being scared of her own shadow so gross.

Pinkie Pie roaring is awesome. I approve of this.

Pinkie Pie with the invitation she is such a great pony.

So who else resides in the correct party of Pinkie Pie is the best pony. Seriously, I will be mortally shocked if this ever changes. She is just way, way too strong at this point in her personality and the timing of her jokes.

Fluttershy could have fallen to her death and Rainbow Dash just looks annoyed when she could have swooped in. Never change Dash, never change.

Then Twilight complains they don’t have time for this when she was the one who insisted on Fluttershy coming. So should write a Doom side story after this episode I mean really now.

Cue Pinkie Pie winning 35 games of tic tac toe in a row versus Rarity. All hail Pinkie Pie master race.

Oh god yes Pinkie Pie song and showing how amazing HER power of friendship is. Yes! Yes! Yes! Pinkie Pie just keeps delivering on my faith on her being the best. And then Twilight complains about epic song time. What a terrible person.

“Just don’t look down.”

ARE YOU SERIOUS BRO?

Okay their BS about the gap being very small makes no sense in their earlier animations and drawings. That is so throwing Fluttershy under the bus.

Why didn’t Twilight just use magic to protect them or to remove the rubble. Just a thought. Also Pinkie Pie continues to be awesome.

Rainbow Dash is literally getting a Doom side story before I watch the next episode by the way. Literally going to do this. Be prepared, I am not pleased at all.

…Applejack with the epic apple attack. I am pleased with this.

Also can someone bring up Spike already- Oh my god Pinkie Pie brings it up just as I think about it. Seriously, Pinkie Pie can do no wrong. I am not even trying to be favorable to her here she just keeps on being amazing. This is almost not fair.

--
Sir Chris
The Cult of Personality.

What, Fluttershy giving Twilight the cop out. Fluttershy, like, said twenty things and Twilight ignored her every time. Then Fluttershy says she was afraid to. That isn't true! Twilight makes everyone dumber by comparison.

Mister Dragon is big. Also Pinkie Pie with the epic wave. Random treasure under the dragon is a nice touch I must admit.

Rarity thinking she can charm a dragon is highly amusing. Oh, it was actually working before she got greedy. Haha that was pretty funny and Twilight has failed miserably so that's changing.

Oh Pinkie Pie's fun didn't help.

Rainbow Dash literally hit the dragon. Kill her! Go for blood Yes! Go dragon! Slay her!

...Why isn't the dragon breathing fire what the hell. Rainbow Dash should have been roasted pony at this point. I am disappointed.

...

"But that rainbow one kicked me."

HAHAHAHAHA

YES

YES

YES

DRAGON IS THE WIN.

Fluttershy's epic guilt inducing voice is pretty awesome. Also Twilight trying to steal credit for this one screw her. No credit for you Twilight you suck.

Poor Spike.

Pinkie Pie literally trolling my least favorite character into oblivion. Seriously this is amazing how well she gels with my likes.

"It's okay Rainbow Dash, not every pony can be as brave as me."

Okay since I got an episode where all of them were together getting good screen time I feel pretty good about starting to tier the powers as well as ranking them. The top hasn't changed but there was a minor flip near the bottom which is reflected.

As for my progress through the show... I like it. It is fun and it has Pinkie Pie, which is like saying "it is fun and even more, better fun." Unsure how much I'd be into it without Pinkie Pie destroying the rest of the cast most of the time though. Fluttershy can't carry an episode as she is, Applejack is okay at it maybe, Twilight is downright unlikable, they haven't done anything with Rarity, and I would rather write Doom/Rainbow Dash scenes than watch Dash on screen.

But maybe that will pick up. Anyway going to write a Doom scene and post that later.

Pinkie Pie has a period of not being best pony for a while around the beginning of Season 2. Doesn't last that long though.

Looking forward to Rainbow Dash finally getting what she deserves.

I for the life of me can't figure out why Twilight Sparkle is the most popular one. Or at least, she was in the b8 top 101 character list thing. She seems to fall into "boring op main character" syndrome. But again I still haven't seen many episodes so.

Look Before You Sleep

No idea what this episode is going to be about, but Rarity is due for an episode. Yup, Rarity episode. The whole exchange with AJ and Rarity was pretty amusing and I already think Rarity is more entertaining in those couple of minutes than she has been in the previous seven episodes. Twilight Sparkle is managing to come off a lot more likable than previous episodes. Twilight Sparkle randomly having a slumber party book goes a long way towards that. I am also a big fan of Twilight’s clapping with her hooves; I’ve used a GIF of that a lot in many mafia games. Rarity and AJ screwing with each other by telling ghost stories about each other was pretty good. Oh boy, they have smores. And Rarity is giving detailed instructions no less.

Twilight’s epic look of horror when she discovers that AJ and Rarity are freaking out was pretty awesome. What I have taken from this episode thus far is that it is little wonder that Twilight Sparkle is liked if there are a lot of episodes like this. Two ponies go completely crazy makes Twilight look awesome. Oh there Twilight is making them feel bad for them being complete jerks.

Not to be a nitpicker but that wasn’t a loose branch that was pulled down into the treehouse, that was the complete top half of a tree. So AJ’s nagging was pretty random there. Also for a pony who can move all sorts of massive stuff Twilight sure is failing to do anything here at all.

“Does this count as camping” okay that slayed me. I think Twilight gets to move back up the list after this episode. I guess I can let go of the fact that Twilight’s powers are far too plot dependent. AJ was okay this episode but not amazing and I feel like Rarity defined herself very well with this episode even if it wasn’t much. I just plain liked her more than AJ this episode and as Skip Bayless would say I am a bit of a prisoner of the moment.

Pinkie Pie >>>>> Fluttershy >> Twilight Sparkle > Rarity > Applejack >>>>>>>>>> Rainbow dash
