Board 8 > Omega333 My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

(+) Yeah! (+)

Episode 7: Ponies are Crunchy and Taste good with Ketchup

A dragon eh? Curious how little screentime spike gets here. An episode about Fluttershy and how she has a pathological fear of everything...

Basically the inverse of the Applejack episode a few episodes back. Instead of starting dependable and failing, Fluttershy is failing and ends up saving the say. Yawn. Not even any real pony abuse. The dragon was a joke too, as was the premise. "Sorry Mr. Dragon for DOING SOMETHING NATURAL THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL but us stupid ponies don't approve please leave!" It would be a different story if the dragon was consciously doing that. Then he could learn the error of his ways and romp around with the ponies for ever and ever. But nope, walking health hazard...gotta go! Thank goodness he was a wuss or else there would be a battle and a lot of dead ponies and a much higher tv rating.

Can't in good conscious rate this anything other than 5/10.

Man Dragonshy is one of the first really good episodes of the season.

The thing you have to realize is that most of the plots are predictable. It's a kid's show. Not all of them are telegraphed right from the beginning, but most in season 1 are. It's better to look less at the big picture of the episode, and more at the highlights and individual gags. Such as the massive A-Team montage, or the well-done action scene of the avalanche. Dragonshy is good because, while a Fluttershy episode, really gives equal time to everyone (Except spike lol)

What, no love for Pinkie Pie abuse?

Also I want to point out in this 24 hour period you have watched 5 episodes already.

Episode 8: My Little Slumber Party: Rivalry is Magic

The ponies control the weather (yes, I know they poof'd clouds, but still...). How...ignorant about weather patterns. How...absolutely fitting for such an idealized fantasy setting.

Damnit rarity...stop being so prissy. You are supposed to be a good pony. Stop letting Applejack be better than you!

*theme song*

Liked the tree/lightning storm hesitation...that is something I would have pretty much granted suspension of disbelief on if not brought up.

Daww...Twilight wants a slumber party <3 "Hooray slumber party!" <-- that it totally a gif isn't it? Do I even have to ask? I bet if every pony gif were compiled, the entire series would unfold...

Got a chuckle out of the mud issue...and XD@ eating the cucumbers.

"officially fun" indeed Twilight...indeed...

XD...Applejack vs Rarity....I can dig it.

Well...that turned out better than I thought. Good characterization and wowza only 3 ponies. This episode has to be at least great because there was no Pinkie Pie OR spike OR Fluttershy (who is tolerable, but still low ranked). Applejack even stepped up her game some and was operating at Rainbow Dash levels of good....

I'd give this episode 9/10

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

I can't find that specific .gif, but there is one with Twilight clapping later.



Also there was a scene you wanted .giffed in the first episode, here it is.

And this is what I mean by each episode starting to focus on one dynamic of two characters, with a few group ones mixed in. Here it was big Applejack/Rarity, Griffon the Brush Off was Pinkie/RD, Fall Weather Friends coming up soon is Applejack/RD, etc.

Spike is better than most ponies

Spike is purple

Spike can not be better than spike. He is a dragon and not a pony though I agree, he is purple.

I'm impressed by how aware you are of how great Rarity is so early in the show. Most people take a lot longer to come around.

Terrible opinion.

Spike's not bad, but I'd put him below all six primary ponies.

He is also a living fax machine.

It's really all he's good for.

Edit: And yeah if you like Rarity now, wait until like, Suited for Success or Green Isn't Your Color.

Pinkie Pie is awesome, but then again, he hasn't gotten to her best stuff.

Episode 9: Between a Clop and a Floppy Place

Why are these ponies describing themselves?

...the most scariest thing to ponies is something approximating reality. Nice bit of reversal actually. Proof that ponies and bronies could never be a thing.

...holy balls, Pinkie Pie is describing all the mean things I have said about ponies. Thankfully there are still plenty of > between her and every other character I have ranked.

So over the top racism...lol if this Zecora likes watermelon I...do not know what I will do.

...oh wow, lower voice for Zecora than I expected.

Plot hole: Twilight Sparkle learned that some pony tales were true in the VERY FIRST EPISODE.

...

...

So Twilight Sparkle can't keep her horn from being...floppy. What was the age on the show rating again?

*expects deep voice for....* yesssss. It could have been no other way!

Spike puns. Appletini...What was the age on the show rating again?

WHY IS IT SO FLOPPY?!

Dat Fluttershy song...

Why hello there made up language used to represent tribal african peoples. Also hello speaking in rhymes. Because that is what the colored equines do you know...rhyme.

...poison joke. hahaha...killmenow

TOO FLOPPY

9.5/10 Those have got to be the most powerful plants ever if they could do all that. Certainly more magical than even Twilight Sparkle.

my brain is breaking. also pinkie pie is doing gog knows what...i could accept if she was time traveling and under a secret mission to gather instruments to scare the flies away, but that would be too awesome and cause her to be ranked above applejack. clearly unpossible.

flies...

If you haven't learned by now that nothing is more magical than Twilight Sparkle then god help you

He hasn't gotten to her uberhax powers yet.

She has a clear increase of power level over the series.

The whole Ursa Minor thing is probably the most impressive example of her magic thus far. Maybe WANT IT NEED IT but that was mostly out of her control from the start because she didn't realize how strong it (or she) was.

Not including Rainboom powered egg hatchings of course.

Episode 11: Pony Gods and Goddesses

Clean up...winter

This show...THIS SHOW IS CLEARLY ANTI-INTELLECTUAL PROPAGANDA DESIGNED TO NUMB GROWING MINDS SO THAT THE STOP QUESTIONING BASIC PROPERTIES OF NATURE AND THE UNIVERSE AND ACCEPT THAT PONIES HAVE MAGIC CONTROL OVER THE WEATHER.

;_;

NO PONIES YOU DO NOT CONTROL THE WEATHER STOP CLEANING ANIMAL HOMES HOUSES YOU ARE NOT PONY GODS LET NATURE BE NATURE ARRRRRRRGH.

AND NOW THEY ARE MAKING NESTS. TWILIGHT MAKES ONE THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS SOMEWHAT LIKE A REAL BIRD'S NEST. STOP BEING UNREASONABLY PERFECT PONY SHOW!

NOW THEY ARE DENYING THE SUN THE RIGHT TO MELT WATER YAAAAAAAY. But...sadly, we learn that Pinkie Pie is actually good at something.

WHAT IS THAT PONIES? CAN'T GET RID OF ALL THAT SNOW? MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE CONTROLLED THE SUN BETTER. THE HEAT MIGHT EVEN HAVE WOKEN UP SOME ANIMALS TOO. But then everypony wouldn't have had a job to do and that would have made everyone sad...

Organization. Awesomeness. That bit totally slipped past my radar. You go Twilight <3

Ok, fine. It was a good episode. Though Twilight being the only pony that can organize (despite obvious organization beforehand) is kinda scary. But then I would be overanalyzing an episode where PONIES PLAY GOD. Still. 8/10

Edit: ("analogApothecary" thisisbonetail) Omega you made no mention of the song at all in that writeup

There was a song. Something about rap and a season.

Best Episode Countdown: 3

Episode 12: Pony Ass

What was the target age group again?

So...this episode is all about Ass Tattoos. And you can only have one and it represents what makes you super special. it follows that you can only be good at one thing ever! Pony life sure is stupid.

Quinceanera. I know that...15th birthday. Spanish tradition. Wtf is that doing in pony land.

Blank flanks. aka "your ass is flat and uninteresting" in ponyese. Why would you even want to advertise what you are good at to the world? Does privacy not exist in ponyland? Can there be no pony spies? That would imply pony wars and pony death, so I guess that would be a bit too much....wouldn't want to disrupt this dictator lead utopia...I see how they revere that princess. It rivals North Korea.

Back to pony rumps though...

Wait...that was supposed to be cuitsieanera wasn't it. The pony pun pile doesn't stop from getting taller...

APPLES APPLES APPLES....That kid actually has a valid strand of logic there. Watch the cutie mark be something like super duper magic or frog breeding or something completely lame.

I kinda like this kid pony. Certainly better than her first appearance lead me to think.

*predicts fake cutie mark as a thing happening at the party*

Not that I am faulting RD's methodology here, but...would you REALLY want your cutie mark to be kite flying. What do you do ponies? "I harness magic!" "I go super fast!" "I run a farm!" "I...fly a kite!". Though on the flip side, said kite flying cutie mark'd pony probably wouldn't mind because they would be too busy flying kites to care....

I also love how everyone is all being unique together. Really, not having a cutie mark would be the most unique thing kid pony could do. Break free of your predestined pony servitude Applesomething! You can do it!

Cupcakes. Do not ask me how I know the significance of this.

Oi...future me. Skip forward a few minutes...you will thank me...

...oh. That was only 30 seconds of pain. Silly past me...now where did I put those grenades...

Blah blah party blah blah blank friends blah blah episode ends on pony ass.

Not a bad episode actually. Simple themes of being an outcast and trying to discover one's self, and Applebloom is an ok character. Gonna rate the episode mmm.....8.5/10

--
There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Applebloom is the best of that 3.

I used to think it was Scootaloo, but she has little characterization compared to the other 2.

Cutie Mark Crusaders kill every episode they are in.

Stare Master was pretty good, and while I didn't like the end of Show Stoppers, it was necessary to show each character's personality off without showing them all acting as a single unit.

I'm not sure if you count Cutie Mark Chronicles as a CMC episode but if you do you're crazy because that was probably one of the best episodes of season 1.

As far as S2 goes, each of their focus episodes have been really good (Cutie Pox, Sisterhooves Social, not sure if you count Family Appreciation Day. Sisterhooves Social probably being one of my personal favorites so far)

Apple Bloom is GREAT by herself. CMC together are all bad. In Stare Master they were at their best for sure. I wouldn't count Sisterhooves Special as a CMC episode either since it's distinctly just AB and SB.

Episode 13: Heavy Metal Pony

http://pterosaurpony.deviantart.com/art/My-Little-Heavy-Metal-Pony-201905185

....wrong metal

So AJ and RD are having an iron chef competition to see who can cook the best po....iron pony competition to see who is the most athletic pony. Will this end in anything but a tie and/or surprise winner TS when she learns magic = steroids? Let's find out...

Oh. *shrugs*

OH LOOK IT IS NOW AUTUMN MAKE UP YOUR TINY MINDS PONIES WHAT SEASON IS IT?!

Twilight Sparkle is number 42. That is all

It seems my magic = steroids thing might just be a thing...

What WILL be a thing is apparently PP name dropping the show's title...yup. Boiling oil. Firing range. Atomic detonation. So many ways her life could end...

STOP BEING BORDERLINE TOLERABLE PINKIE PIE

Aaaaaand tie. Aaaaand 5th for Twilight <3 Never seen a medal for 5th, but still <3. I guess everypony needs to feel special or something.

Rating: 8.75/10 Gotta say, kinda confused how running knocks all the leaves off. If it were just the vibrations then only a few trees here and there would feel the effects. Whatever, my brain is still recovering from the winter change. *runs with it*

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

Next episode is Best Episode

Also I'm disappointed that Spike and Pinkie don't interact much, they bounce well off each other. The only other conversation they have that I can recall isn't exactly a friendly one.

Episode 15: Best Day Ever

OMG PINKIE PIE SIGHTING

TWITCHTWITCHTWITCHYTWITCH

PINKIE SENSE! SUDDENLY EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE FOREVER!

IS THERE ANYTHING PINKIE PIE CAN'T DO? <3 CLEARLY SHE IS THE CHEETARA OF THE GROUP ^_^

Man...looks like FS is on frog duty. I guess that works...but the real story here is PINKIE PIE!!! Super future predicting goddess extraordinaire!

I get it...Pinkie Pie...the REAL Pinkie Pie is a powerful pony witch, far more powerful than TS because HER magic comes from the HEART...and/or tail.

FLOPPY EARS!!!!

STUPID TWILIGHT YOU STOP SCIENCING THIS INSTANT. YOU CAN NOT BE BOTH MAGIC AND SCIENCE THAT WOULD CAUSE A MASSIVE EXPLOSION THAT WOULD WIPE OUT PO....CARRY ON.

So..

much...

pony abuse...

DOUBLE EXPLOSIONS Oh Pinkie you are the most cleverest pony ever <3

Suddenly Hydra

Suddenly Twilight becomes a Hydrasnack. The pony world will survive. Such a selfless pony Pinkie is...so little respect given by certain skeptical ponies!

What? No! Pinkie sweetie...no....are you just gonna let her get off with anything other than boiling hot magma death?! How magnanimous! *bows in reverence*

Pinkie Pie can even control the princess. Clearly all of the ponyverse is under her blissful domain!

I do not need to rate this episode. It goes without saying that it is the most perfect episode that there could ever be! x10! (10 factorial!)
