I dread going into this week's episode. For today, we discuss matters of the heart. Romance, love, heartbreak, and all that rot. Which means we run right into the most loathsome of all fandom constructs, the kind of thing that destroys friendships and leaves the most brilliant of minds curled up helplessly in a corner, foaming from the mouth:
We've had a string of good episodes the last few weeks. Whether it be shapeshifting seaponies, an actual Celestia episode, or discovering Starlight's dark phase, we've had lots of fun and plenty of laughs.
Today's episode is about Applejack and Rainbow Dash competing.
Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone who cares about that! What better way to spend the day than watching a cartoon about horses dealing with their mommy/daddy issues? Well, tough, because that's what we're doing. This is “The Parent Map.”
I heard they did some funny shit with sunset shimmers bod, and that now she has the perfect hourglass figure. Some of the reactions to not just this, but other things in the movie have been hilarious.
Spike could have used a bigger/more prominent role, especially given how well his character was handled in the previous movie (assuming one doesn't mind him being turned into a dog, which I don't, but apparently that was an issue for some people). Still, this movie was very much Sunset Shimmer's and Twilight's, and Spike wasn't in any way misused by the movie, just underused.
That's my sole complaint with the movie, and it's tiny. Otherwise, we got more Best Human Sunset Shimmer, some pretty decent songs, good villains who had fun interaction with each other, Trixie being Trixie, all sorts of background pony cameos, and of course and most suprisingly, very prominent Derpy, who didn't speak but still got to play the saw.
And, of course, the post-credit stinger for Human!Twilight, who willprove that fairies are realtry to bust her brothersfind out the secret identities of the Power Rangers figure out what's going on at Canterlot High.
Hmm... movie still doesn't hit DVD until the end of October.
Unlike the last time around though, it seems a semi-local theater will actually be screening it, but only once on this upcoming Wednesday night. Tempting as it might be to skip the wait, it's still a bit of a trip though (considering I don't drive). Plus, I don't really have anyone who'd be interested in seeing it with me, which is usually the only reason I take the extra effort to go out to a theater anyway.
major improvement from the first movie, and I liked that one too.

Finally! A review post that doesn't have spoilers.
Tolda ya.

The thing that repels me from EG is Spike being a dog... very degrading
*This is Spike when he sees EG I think:
