>>/4123/ > WHAT DID JUST HAPPEN? it happened. > I had standard expectations coming into this. I thought I'd like the dynamic but I was a little cautious over the main plot just because how much stuff was dependent on the set up. are you me? I had no expectations save going into the streaming site and click on it. I prefer not to think about the episodes beforehand. > The dynamic was indeed good and I enjoyed them all bickering and trying to make it up. the best part is that despite dedicating time to the villains, it felt like an episode that you would get from the mane 6. The core spirit of the show was here all the time and this might be the reason this episode has beaten all our expectations. > had a confirmation of the prediction I'd like Cozy Glow this season she has paid off as a character since the premiere. We knew her insincere personality would bring the comedy onto the table. > I can't believe that Queen Chrysalis of all anyone would be the character I was most impressed with in this. I mean it she was written perfectly in a way that caught me off guard. keep in mind this, when she was introduced it felt like she was the cool plot device in order to justify Shining Armor and Cadence for the toys about their wedding. They gave us a really cool finale in season 2 but, did they think that much about her or the changelings back then? Writers didn´t have a clue until the 6th season. It´s quite possible that, like Celestia´s case, Chrysalis was an archetype of a villain but didn´t gave her much backstory save her desire for the power. It´s in episodes like this, in a slice of life episode, you slowly get to notice her reactions and her inner thoughts. Same for Tirek, who have thought that he likes to workout in his free time? > The fact that the evil trio has already taken action an hid the bell from Grogar caught me off guard completely. This now a build up and one that opens a bit of new possibilities for the endgame. you could notice that they were minor villains in comparison to Grogar. However, Grogar´s orb might have revealed him that they had found the bell and makes you wonder why he trusted on these three to take the bell anyway. Was he tricking them for a means to an end? He had more power than them combined, he used the power to chain and shut them up with his magic (which was a fraction of it). It´s almost like he could betray them whenever he gets the power (like the Stork King did with Tempest). This opens up indeed a new possibility: the redemption route. That ending by forcing to cut the moral of friendship being good makes you wonder where they could go. They could have made a few decisions that would lead into a disaster (like draining the pony magic from Rusty Bucket, yet they only humiliated him with the snow avalanche.That´s an improvement for an ordinary laugh, I guess?) yet they didn´t do that. Also a tango song. > 9.85/10 I was about to say 10 out of 10 as well. It surprised me to no end and I had a lot of joy watching their interactions. FiM could make a spin off of whatever character they want to write about and they would still kill it.
