The Cart Before the Ponies Review and Spoilers · 4:06pm Aug 6th, 2016
In which three big sister become stage moms from Tartarus. I've never hid my love for the CMC episodes and I'm really, really trying to be disappointed by one. Seriously. But this time they showed us a simple, pretenseless episode, like the ones I prefer the most. It also shows one more subtle bit of characterizations among the Mane Six: All of them are painfully adamant about their convictions and way of life. Not just the characters we saw in this episode but you can see my point with Twilight's rationality, Pinkie Pie's Pride ( See what I did there?) in being the party pony and Fluttershy's assertivness. We all knew what Applejack, RD and Rarity would obssess with. We lvoe them for it. But the thing they forgot is the fact their little sisters are their own individuals. It also shows one of my favorite morals from the show, period: Adults are not automatically right about things. Kids should look up to their parental figures but they should also doubt them and make their opinion known out loud.
Random tidbits: Who was with Diamond Tiara who sadly didn't have a line but showed the best death glare ever? Also, Michelle Creber's voice is getting deeper, no matter how much she tries. She's still cute, though.
Yeah, this ep wasn't the best for the CMC, because of their big sisters. And that was DT's butler.
4135240 That's sad, man. I mean, I can understand her father not helping her because maybe he doesn't know anything about kart racing and her mother...Well...
4135243 She's a bitch. Enough said. But Cheerilee did say an adult pony.
4135255 At least I want to think she has some good relationship with adult ponies.
4135292 She appears to have one with Filthy Rich. She used her butler for a trick in Twilight Time, a trick she took credit for after the butler did the trick, so I'm not sure how her relationship with him is. And her mom tried to get her to be like her, and that caused a rough patch.
4135315 I knew that and at least it's enough. I won't hide the fact that Diamond Tiara is one of my favorite characters and I like to see her happy.
4135320 She wasn't exactly a pony I could see as a favorite of mine, but I'm coming around.
4135323 She was bitchy but fun. Shame they still haven't explored her having made peace with the CMC.
4135407 Yup. Now, that's an episode I'd like to see. If not this season, then next season.
4135412 I'll write a fic about it. Got a draft somewhere. It's silly. Absolutely silly.
