Critique Review: GPW1 (Great Pony War 1) · 3:19pm Apr 15th, 2015
Hello, everypony. I am the Critique.
Ah, the great pony war. Those were the days alright. Ponies digging trenches and staying in those muddy trenches for several months, even years, at a time. Where over 16 million ponies died. Not all of them soldier deaths. Where alliances were all over the place and those alliances were called in after the assassination of an archduke. In which an entire continent’s countries were dramatically shifted.
Sir, what you just described was the human ‘World War I’.
Give yourself a pat on the back, Computer! Because that’s exact what Jrony decided to do! Write about World War I! With ponies!
… You may all do a little gun finger gesture to your temple.
I’ve already covered this in previous reviews, if you’re going to do a fic based on a real event, fine, but you better fucking know what you’re talking about.
Otherwise, you might end up insulting somepony. I’m looking at you Thunder Ice!
So, what is this story actually about?
oc charter XVI is sent to go investigate some up roar after a mysterious pony causes problems within the community.
Damn it! I knew they were after me! Computer, get my gun and calculate the best possible defense!
eventually turing into all out war agenst the kingdom and celestia. XVI and two other oc's hypnosis and sky rifter do their part as members of a special op group for celestia during the war.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure where to go with these. I’m not sure whether to bash the atrocious spelling and grammar or the incoherent mess that is supposed to be telling us what the story is about. Which, by the way, doesn’t do a very good job.
Our story begins with narration…
“It all started with a dream…
It ended with Spaghettios!
decades after unicorn, Pegasus, and earth ponies all agreed to live together. Equestrian was still far from being developed to what it is today.
Equestria wasn’t sure how to milk cattle yet. They were a new breed of creatures unlike any they had ever seen before.
There was still issue between the different ponies.
Issue was a pony who would leech off the other ponies and often made a mess at their houses during parties.
Fight, disputes and arguments would break out like a blazing inferno.
Okay, give this story one point. That line is a pretty good one.
What is not so good is the spacing between each of the paragraphs! If you can even call it spacing! You can’t tell by the little tidbits I’m giving you, so I’ll show you by paying 20 mana.
Yes, the wall of text is back. And it’s back with a vengeance. Been a while since I’ve seen it, and it is the walliest wall of text that has ever walled!
The entire story… LITERALLY THE ENTIRE STORY IS ONE PARAGRAPH OF THREE THOUSAND WORDS!
Do you not have an enter button on your keyboard? That is the only possible explanation I can fathom why that would be! It’s incredibly obnoxious to read and it’s easy to find yourself lost in it without any kind of reprieve!
Ugh!
Anyway, the story continues to discuss how the differing races were bickering due to them being of different races. Funny how they covered that in the episode “Hearth Warming Eve” a year before this story was written. I guess Clover wasn’t as clever as she thought she was.
Protester and activist all joined to try and settle the majority of the discrimination, but then he came.
Not that kind of came!
He wasn’t like the other speakers, he didn’t promote equality. Rather, he insisted he and his race was the dominate race.
Actually, I’m not far off on that. The stallion in question is, in fact, a unicorn. And many ponies wonder why I am racist against unicorns.
He promotes that unicorns are the master race (as much as the fandom does) and encourage unicorns to take up arms against the other ponies.
The mysterious man never spoke his name, nor where he resided and promptly left with a small legion of willing unicorns.
We never thought to ask him his name, because we like to listen to random strangers with megaphones who rant about things. We’re kind of dumb that way.
If you couldn’t tell already by the little tidbits I’m giving you, this plays out less like a story and more like a documentary. And not a very good one at that. See, documentaries actually give you information on the events. Names, places, history, you know, details.
This feels more like bullet points. Like it is telling the events of the war without the why, how, who, and what. It feels like more of what your outline of your story should look like rather than your actual story. And as such, it makes it really hard to read because it is boring as hell.
It’s already got one strike against it with the tedious ‘Wall of Text’ syndrome and on top of that we add storytelling that isn’t really storytelling, it’s a history lecture. I didn’t exactly pass history with flying colors because most of what we talked about in history was something I wasn’t even remotely interested in. And writing like this, does not help much.
Also, if this is supposed to be World War I, why are we involving the Nazi party? I know Hitler was a soldier in World War I, but the Nazi party didn’t get it started (at least based on the researching I did on Google) until 1919 or 1920. A year after the war.
After many speeches made by the unicorn, which I presume was a mirror of Hitler’s speeches, pegasi and earth ponies come together to make a plan.
A letter was sent to inform Celestia, she sent XVI to investigate.
They wanted XIII, but he was busy saving the planet with the guy with blonde hair and a big sword.
Seriously, why haven’t I read a crossover about Red XIII and Fluttershy? Make it happen people!
XVI was one of her top notch Ellet from her stealth force.
Based on Dictionary.com or Wikipedia.com, he is either an expert in extension bridges like the Golden Gate Bridge, a Benham-class destroyer in the Navy, or a neighborhood in Arkon, Ohio.
Either way, I find this meme to be appropriate…
He was a dear companion, almost an uncle. He was an alicorn, alive longer than she was.
And yet, he had given up his rule to the throne for Princess Celestia. At least this would explain why she kept the title of princess.
A guardian asked to watch her while her parents were gone.
Hinting that possibly we would see Celestia’s parents, since this tells me they are alive. If they are not alive, very poor word choice.
The uncle disguises himself as a unicorn, because if Twilight can turn ponies into Breezies, they can turn into the other races too. He goes into the base of the unicorns to find out what he can. After spending, I don’t know, 15 minutes there?
The pacing on this thing is abysmal! Remember what I said about this playing out more like a documentary than a story? Well, I’ve never seen a documentary so unbelievably rushed! I feel like I have to look back every sentence I read, just to make sure I even read it right, because half the time I don’t know what the hell is going on!
And the rereading of the paragraphs doesn’t always prove productive!
Anyway, based on what I can tell, 16 goes to the base to gather some information and to be a speaker against the unicorn who is rallying the others for war.
He goes into town later that day to look around and is met with prejudice. What kind of prejudice you might be asking? … The … bad … kind?
I don’t fucking know!
The only thing it mentions was that he was denied services at restaurants and bars for being the color that he was.
Yeah, if you haven’t figured it out yet, this just jumped to the days of Martin Luther King Jr.
Considering that Martin Luther King wasn’t even old enough to fight in World War II before it ended, I’m a little shocked and confused why we decided to do this.
Don’t get me wrong, I like King as much as the next guy, but why are we jumping timelines?! Is this supposed to be some Doctor Who episode where we travel throughout all of history?! If maybe the story had some decent development in this, I wouldn’t draw so many comparisons, but since it’s just a bland piece of text that has no characterization, no style in its storytelling, and a barely comprehendible story, I can't help but feel that this is more of a history report than an actual story!
Teachers don’t get paid enough to put up with this shit…
As he travels through the town, he is eventually set upon by a group of Pegasi who attack him. He fights them off and manages to run away, only to be stopped by a group of Earth Ponies, who also attack him.
That’s right! Kill that horned freak! … Ignore my racist comments!
However, before the group can kill him off, a group of unicorns arrive and drive the gangs away. The unicorns explain to 16 that they want him to be a part of their group and that their leader would like to meet with him.
They take him to the outskirts of the town where we met Hitler. Hitler convinces 16 to join his cause, since 16 doesn’t seem to have much of a choice. They take him back to his base and he trains there for a while.
During that time, 16 meets with Hitler who reveals his name to him, but honestly, Hitler is more accurate.
Hitler talks about the Third Reich and when 16 finds himself alone, writes a letter to Celestia explaining his findings.
I wish I could say the story got interesting here, but frankly I just stated what the story stated. I could almost do a copy and paste of the story versus the review and you would barely be able to tell the difference.
Hitler picks 16 as one of his personal soldiers and directs him to recruit more unicorns as they did him.
Turns out the recruitment technique is to hire some Earth Ponies and Pegasi to beat up the unicorns and then they come in and save them at the last second … Okay, it really isn’t, but honestly, who would be surprised if I said it was?
As time goes on, 16 starts to see the unicorn’s side of things. Great, now maybe he can explain everything that’s going on, because I’m sure as fuck not sure what the unicorns are after!
Whatever it is, it causes 16 to betray Celestia and state that he’s decided to join the unicorns in a letter. Well, I’m sure that won’t backfire on you in any way to openly state your about to betray your country! I wish all traitors would announce they are going to backstab you before they do it!
After 16’s disloyalty, Celestia gets two of her of her ‘Ellet’ guards, Hypnosis and Sky Rifter.
Celestia now in shock calls upon her next best task force agents, hypnosis and Sky Rifter, both separate personalities ponies but worked quite efficiently.
And by separate personalities, I think you mean; separate from the rest of reality by having none!
Seriously, Maud’s pet rock had a more distinct personality! Also, why the hell did 16 betray Celestia?! Did the unicorns offer a really good dental plan?!
With the matter now drastically out of hand Celestia is reading her troops in case of attack.
That very night in Max’s room, a forest grew and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around.
Young Critique: Pwincess Celestia, no offense, but this story kind of sucks.
Do you want to know how Luna felt when she was sent to the moon?
Young Critique: … No…
Then shut up.
I loved that book from that point on.
The now enormous following was all gathered up and were called to rally.
For those of you confused, I think the unicorns are gathering up their followers and holding some kind of wawwy. I couldn’t tell at first because the scene changes are indicated by nothing.
They say that the time has come for them to attack Celestia and her kingdom. I don’t know, if you honestly still care you should up the dose of whatever you’re on.
Anyway, generals of the army are chosen to represent the different factions with Hitler being one of them. 16 being his right hoof pony.
The first of the battles begin and it would be exciting except for one small, tiny, minuscule, little detail, that keeps it from being so…
The troops began their decent on the first few unsuspecting towns and Hoenheim sent a letter to Celestia declaring war.
… Yeah… That’s the entire battle. The entire battle in one throwaway sentence. This isn’t exciting! This is boring! I don’t mind if plot happens in a story, but if you are going to have action scenes, like battles and the like, make them exciting! Make them fun! Make them enjoyable! Give them some … well… ACTIONS!
Also, you sent a letter of declaration of war to Celestia?! I think invading her towns and attacking her citizens is declaration enough! Or is this just common curiosity of invasion forces, that they have to write a letter to those they are invading?
Chrysalis: Now, Celestia! I have your kingdom right where I want it! Soon, all of it will be mine!
Celestia: Well, let’s see the paperwork.
Chrysalis: But I thought… God damn it, did Derpy not deliver my ‘Declaration of War’ letter explaining my plan in explicit detail?!
Though to be fair, a threat was made against Canterlot in that episode, so maybe this isn’t that far off.
Celestia, furious sends troops to meet hypnosis and Sky Rifter and to eliminate what enemies that he can as well.
Turns out, Furious was actually my military nickname for being obnoxiously angry over tiny details.
Also, this is the second time that Hypnosis hasn’t had his name capitalized. Does the story secretly hate Hypnosis and think it’s a scam?
Now Celestias troops and the Reich’s troops off to fight, soon to meet.
Ten bits says we never see any of that.
God, this story is so boring…
As you’d expect from this story, eventually the armies meet and they fight each other. I say fight but frankly I’d get more entertainment by watching two blades of grass fight each other. The battles cause a large amount of destruction (at least, so I’m told) until the unicorns pull out their secret weapons. Rifles and explosives.
Surprised? Boy, I sure was. Considering this was only decades after the Hearth’s Warming Eve event that brought Equestria’s birth, I very much doubt they had the technological knowhow to create guns and bombs.
Especially since there are no guns in Equestria in present day!
So, Equestria starts losing the battle and goes to the buffalos and griffins for help. And I guess, they just do it… What, did Celestia promise to buy them all lunch if they help her fight a war?
Soon after, Celestia and her kingdom are able to build weapons of her own. Guns and the like. I would say I’d like to know how, but frankly I’m just trying to power through this thing keeping most of my brain intact.
hypnosis and Sky Rifter are able to discover some new information about the enemy (though we are never told or shown exactly how or what it is) and they ask Celestia permission to storm the enemy capital.
She agrees for some reason, even though I’m pretty sure that the enemy base is heavily fortified with all most highly trained soldiers and most advanced tech serving as their shield. But hey, this story hasn’t given me one moment of show in this story yet. So, maybe Celestia isn’t in a war for her country. Maybe she’s in a really intense game of Risk.
Apparently, the war has been going on for five years. That’s pretty impressive to have five years of war and nothing happening.
It was crucial for the kingdom to win soon now that they are at a weak point after an alliance with the changelings and unicorns arose almost knocking out a quarter of Celestias army.
Ah, so they don't kill each other, they just beat each other over the head. Maybe I wasn’t far off. Maybe Celestia just gathered a bunch of kids on the playground and they are really into the game they are playing.
So, yeah, we get some more details (and I use the term details very loosely) on the war and how it is going.
We then get hypnosis and Sky Rifter traveling through the enemy base to try and find 16. They eventually do spot him, but they are attacked by several of 16’s men and the two get separated. Sky Rifter eventually runs into their task force who are running around with explosives to bomb the base to hell.
Meanwhile, hypnosis manages to catch up with 16 and they fight each other. Again, using a very loose definition of the word ‘fighting’.
XVI blatantly says “how are you?”
AHHHHH! DIALOGUE! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!
Also, ‘how are you’ is not exactly what I would be saying against a stallion who is about to kill me.
“how am I?! What do you mean how am I?! You betrayed us!” XVI replies “no I didn’t, it was all necessary to do what I did, it’s all for the greater good.”
So, yeah, 16 explains the ‘greater good’ is basically a mirror image of the Holocaust victims of World War II. And it’s also at this point that any respect I might have had for the story, it sinking faster than my view count.
I mean… This is your big twist… Forget the insensitivity about victims who died during World War II for a moment and let’s focus on this is really stupid! Where?! Where the fuck did this come from?! No build up! No hinting! Nothing that indicated this was going down! This story is supposed to be told from the perspective of two characters (or at least I think that’s what the story was going for) hypnosis and 16!
Why the hell are we not focusing on these characters?! In the end, what do we end up knowing about them?! 16 is a unicorn turncoat! hypnosis is a name that doesn’t believe in capital letters! That’s it!
Documentaries know how to give details about a person they are talking about! They talk about what they did! Who they were! Why the did the deeds that they did!
This story has none of that, instead choosing to just throw all the information at us, hoping that we’ll just take it all in!
Dear god, this story!
Is it almost over yet?!
And then, as if some last minute bullshit to redeem himself, 16 says that this was his plan all along. To pretend to betray Celestia and to blow up the command center so that Celestia and her troops could win the war.
Oh, of course. That was his plan all along. That’s why 16 million ponies died! So you could make this plan of yours work…
And no… this story isn’t over yet… The story insists on still going… Dear. Fucking. Lord.
hypnosis goes back to Canterlot to explain his victory. However, they receive a letter that explains that they failed…
“you think you’ve won? You think the leader is dead? I know you sent a spy and I let him kill my puppet hoenheim and false scientist and generals. My weapon is now complete. I will enjoy my new kingdom once I destroy yours. The time is near my dear princes you will no longer be the center of the world you’ll be killed at it”
So… that whole thing?! That whole scene of 16 sacrificing himself, after years of him lying and spying and learning all these secrets of these enemies?! Was all totally and utterly pointless?!
… … … … I don’t want to do this anymore…
Celestia sends her troops to the address marked in the letter, I guess the villains want Celestia to stop them, and the troops march to a hail of gunfire and gas bombs. Again, the story is just so detailed on how the battles go, it’s like I’m actually there.
The final battle is about to begin.
I’M WAITING FOR THE FIRST BATTLE TO BEGIN!
During the course of the battle, every character that has ever been mentioned is dead, with the exception of Celestia. I can just see Celestia rooming through a maze killing these Nazis, only to see her battle Hitler in a huge mech soldier.
That would be the only way this story can save even a little bit of face.
The pony said “so nice of you to join us princess, now we can end this properly. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Dante, your soon to be king of equestrian.”
Actually, I’m not that far off. Hitler (AKA Dante for those who are curious.) threatens Equestria with a bomb that is set to destroy her and everyone in the vicinity… Including himself… I think he missed a step in his plan…
However, it turns out that at the last second 16 faked his death. Oh, what contrivances we can come up with next. By the way, thanks for faking your death and causing your friends to die, asshole!
16 uses his magic to teleport Celestia to safety and create a barrier to protect those who might be caught in the blast. Which begs the question, why did he need to teleport Celestia to safety?
Whatever, 16 is dead, Hitler is stopped and everypony can rejoice because the stupidest war story ever is now official over!
AND THANK FUCKING GLOB!
… Why did I just say that?
The class was all in shock and amazement. Apple bloom asked Ms.Cheerilee if that could ever happen again. Ms.Cheerilee said “doubtful but you never know.” Sweeitebell said “That sounded like really scary times back then.” Scootaloo followed with “yeah, for sure, thank glob we weren’t alive back then.” Then the school bell rang and the fillies went off to have fun.
Pfft… Okay, that was funny. But not for the reasons I’m sure the story intended.
So, how does the story hold up?
HOW DO YOU THINK?!
Between being boring and rushed, this story cannot hold the attention of even the most attentive reader for very long.
And even when it does, the reader feels cheated as information is pretty much glanced over. This story needed to be about 10 times its length to properly convey all the information that it presented.
Instead, we get a watered down version of a war that doesn’t even sound all that interesting to begin with.
The characters are nonentities in this story as it doesn’t even try to give them a personality, backstory, or anything that resembles characters.
hypnosis and Sky Rifter were barely in it and had no personalities of their own. 16 is about as engaging as watching paint dry. And Hitler is a waste of a good potential villain. The only one who even has any character in this story is Princess Celestia, but she’s so watered down that you could have replaced her with Scootaloo and it wouldn’t have made a difference. No, I take that back, Scootaloo is a good character. You could have replaced her with Tenderhoof and it would have been the same!
The plot is rushed as quickly as possible to get to the end. Which on the one hoof I can say I am grateful, because that means it’s over quickly. Which on the other, the story never stops to take a breath and just let the moments impact us. It goes by driving at 100 miles per hour and never stops. Ironically, it makes it all the more boring.
The writing style is atrocious, between the narrative being nothing more than telling us what happened, the spelling and grammar that leaves a lot to be desired and the wall of text that makes it a headache to read. Even if it was a good story. Which it isn’t.
There are many stories about unicorns being the master race in the My Little Pony universe. Some of them are good and offer interesting ideas. This… is not one of them! If you have the chance, avoid this story like the plague!
Have a great day guys!
Unicorns are superior? That's cute. Mind repeating that to the Pegasi who control weather?
Fun...
Then again, God Empress of Ponykind's last half is a Warhammer-esque hack and slash fest with ponies, so I can't really object.
As a history major, I'm preparing myself to be majorly offended.
God, the grammar issues are killing me: "charter"? Is that supposed to be character? Uproar is one word, not two, and OC is usually capitalized.
"Agenst" isn't a word. Capitalizations are your friends.
The dream that he would one day taste the ultimate victory over his hated enemy.
Wonderful, it's "The first darkness war" all over again.
I take it back. At least "first darkness war" had individual chapters.
For anyone who's interested, read A Brief History of Equestria for this kind of story done right.
Adding to that, Hitler wasn't even a leading member until 1925, when his attempted rebellion in Munich failed and he wrote Mein Kampf. The real reason for World War 1 was imperial ambition and alliances reacting poorly with nationalistic movements.
His real name was Stu. Marty Stu.
So first it mangles World Wars I and II, and now he mangles the Civil Rights movement?
As if this fic couldn't sink any lower.
...
Wait, didn't I read this plotline in PS238? Where the FISS (Flight-Invulnerability-Speed-Strength, your standard flying brick) want Julie/84 to be their spokesperson even though she's, like, ten?
Well, it's got to at least be better than the FBI Dental Plan.
Also, what's with all this subterfuge and spy stuff? I know that WWI had at least some of this, but the main problem was the trench warfare stalemates and political incompetence.
And... once again, I did this better even when I screwed it up.
Wait. Wait wait wait wait wait WHAT?! Hoenheim? Did you mean Hohenheim? As in Van Hohenheim, the Big Good of Fullmetal Alchemist? The guy who worked for centuries to invent an entirely new form of alchemy to counter the Big Bad's plan to eat God? The father of the heroes? WHY THE HELL DID YOU MAKE HIM A NAZI?!
This is probably pure speculation on my part, but still, that's the first thing that came to mind when I read that part.
Once again, I refer you all to "A Brief History of Equestria" for this type of fic done right.
Here's some better fight scenes, then:
Again, more things that better writers have gotten right.
Blatantly... BLATANTLY?! THIS IS NOT THE CONTEXT YOU SHOULD USE FOR THAT WORD, YOU HACK!
media.moddb.com/cache/images/groups/1/3/2055/thumb_620x2000/8812_md-Dawn_Of_War_Humor_Motivational_Poster_Poster_The_Greater_Good.jpg
This was bad. Like, really bad. I've seen better than this... hell, I've done better than this, and I think God Empress has a lot of problems.
Who?
And people wonder why I'm racist against Mud Ponies.
Excuse me for a moment, dear reader...
Ha! Take that, Earth Pony scum!
I don't know if they still do this, but yes, it was once common to send declarations of war to your enemy. The colonies sent the Declaration of Independence, which was more or less taken as a declaration of war by the Brits. America also sent letters of war to Germany and Japan when entering World War 2, but of course, Japan didn't share the favor...
[quoteChrysalis: But I thought… God damn it, did Derpy not deliver my ‘Declaration of War’ letter explaining my plan in explicit detail?! I WILL BURRY YOU IF YOU DARE INSULT DERPY AGAIN!
Um, Critique? That's a bit of a plot-hole considering you had a scene dedicated to you buying a gun. That, and every Brony reviewer has a gun. I shot you with one earlier!
Anyways, great review!
Just as another candidate for the rage music:
2986753 Unicorns could and would do it better.
3008605 I thought his reviews took place in the not too distant future, when ponies would have developed firearms
3008646 Does that mean my show takes place in the future? Because guns are common in my continuity.
3008646 Also, you might be completely right. While I have read many of his reviews, I sadly have not had the pleasure of reading ALL of Spider's reviews.
3008615 Then why haven't they? Why is it always the pegasi who do it instead of you horny bastards?
3008681 In my head canon, everything that the Critique is takes place 700 years in Equestria's future. 700 years after Twilight Sparkle was crowned princess. So, that way, no matter what happens in the show, it won't affect the Critique (much). The main six have been long gone, and as far as the show's characters there are only three still around. Celestia, Luna and Discord.
3009065 Because we're too busy running Equestria.
3008615
3009065 Gentlemen, please. Let us agree that we are all created equal. Except for Earth Ponies, because we're better than you. We're just biding our time until guns are invented.
3009526 ... What the Hell happened to Twilight and Cadence?! Also, then I guess either Cynical or the Critique are time travelers seeing as how my show takes place in modern Equestria... PLOT HOLES ABOUND!
Also:
3009528 Oh please, look at the facts:
-Unicorn
-Sword Expert
-Crime Lord
-Has thousands of guns
You Earth Pony scum were meant as nothing but slaves to us unicorns and pegasi!
3009537 Pfft, plot holes. I don't make plot holes. I make plot bends. As for Twilight and Cadance, in my head canon, being an alicorn doesn't make you immortal. It just means you're an alicorn. I call them 'artificial alicorns'. While Celestia and Luna were born alicorns, thus they have the longer life span, 'natural alicorns' if you will.
I have a dream... that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
3009553 So... does that mean I own a TARDIS? Or Bill and Ted's phone booth?
Either that or Cynical remains immortal via cloning, Destroy All Humans style. Fair enough for Twilight and Cadence, but just one last thing...
"... Unless they are Mud Pony scum."
3009528 How adorable. Hope you survive the ten hurricanes we sent your way... earth scum.
3009598 Hope you enjoy the um... hold on... *Whisper to General* What do we have to combat hurricanes?
General: Hurricanes?! Fuck this! I'm out, yo!
Wait, you can't just leave! What about Earth Pony supremacy?!
General: I like you, but not that much.
... Um... Fuck this, I'm moving to the Griffin empire.
3009652 Sweet! They're part of the Pegasi Empire! I have gained an ally!
3009527 Oh this explains so much! See Pegasi would've SMASHED Discord's statue or put him in a place so deep and dark he'd regret every breaking free. Oh but you vain horny bastards had to PUT HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN.
3009945 Well, if you smashed him, that would have caused some chaos and would have sent him free. If you tortured him, again, it would create chaos. Unicorns are superior.
3010063 Not true. Since he was a statue smashing him wouldn't release him.
3010068 No, he was incased inside the statue. Breaking it would only release him.
3010159 No. If you clearly look he was TURNED into a statue. Therefore. Breaking him apart would result in easier disposal and if we scatter his remains to the four corners of Equestria he'll never be able to truly come back together again. HA! Pegasi win yet again.
3010168 I don't know, the season 4 opener and the season 2 opener made it seem like he was just incased. So did KCAFO.
3010218 That was his FLESH turning into stone.
3010222 ... Which would still mean that he was incased, just in his own skin. Considering he's magic, and probably has several layers of skin and protection, I think he'd live. Besides, he's a good guy now.
3010248 Yeah NOW. But I'm talking BEFORE Keep Calm and Flutter On Discord.
3010254 Oh, and may I point out that it was a UNICORN who defeated Discord?
3010263 Right right.... but who tamed him again?
3010275 A winged Mud pony who only barely got the job done.
3010292 A winged.... yeah of course you'd say that when the most powerful horned BIMBO couldn't get the job right. And what do you mean BARELY? Fluttershy got her shit in order and knew what she was doing!
3010311 Discord only turned good when Fluttershy threw a pissy fit.
3010335 Oh you mean the portion where she made him REMEMBER what he could lose?
(BTW. I hope you realize I don't mean any of this right? I do like pegasi more but I like all the ponies equally.)
3010339 I don't think that was her intention. Also, I know, I'm just playing along with your original comment. Unicorns are better though.
3010349 Shrugs. I disagree but you know. Whatever. Your opinion man.
Point is though! Flutteshy managed to actually beat the bastard better than Twilight did.
3010355 Only because Twilight wasn't given a chance, winged pony scum!
Role playing aside, (will we get banned for that?) how's your day? Mine's pretty good. my pet kitten is currently sleeping on my shoulder.
3010399 It's been fine. Nothing spectacular or anything.
You seem upset... you mad bro?
3010403
Wow, I go away for a few days and you all want to kill each other... fun stuff. I'll get some popcorn
