Make Your Mark - Chapter 4: Missing the Mark (my commentary)

Missing the Mark? Oh no, this will be a Misty episode, won't it?

Yep, it's Misty.

The little growth she got from 4 chapters suddenly vanished.

Instead of to the castle, Misty runs toward the cliff. Opaline can't abuse Sparky if he's dead.

Oh, no, Sparky is missing again for the dozenth time...

How did Misty manage to get past Hitch and all the animals and how did she break in the Sherif's station?

If they sing that song every few square meters, they're sure to find Sparky in a million years.

Sparky got cuter, but not cute enough to let live.

Oh, Opaline missed Misty. She's so nice. Here, have a dragon for being so concerned.

Opaline is so motherly.

Misty nails the final nail in Sparky's coffin.

Opaline will suck him dry.

Enhanced fire-power? Enhanced like Fluttershy's mane extensions?

"I'm the worst pony in the world."   Yes. Yes, you are, Misty.

Misty has a change of heart, even though there's no reason for it. I guess she just can't handle winning. Failing is all she knows, so she must fail again by screwing Opaline curatively.

Magic tree? What's that?

"How are you so positive?"  - Well, she saw it with her own eyes like she said. Eyes are kind of reliable...

Somepony told the evil Alicorn where Sparky is? Why couldn't she just see it for herself? Why would anypony have to tell her?

Also Zipp, didn't you say you won't suspect Misty anymore? So much for your character growth...

The castle is just 5 seconds away. I guess everypony is just blind not to have ever seen it.

Pipp is impressed by Opaline. Now we know what kind of queen she'll be.

"I'm sorry..." - Oh, for the fuck sake, Misty. Own it. This is your win. The first one in your life.

Why so said, Misty? They're all showing you their behinds. That's the best part of ponies. Enjoy the view.

Wow, even Izzy's horn can't penetrate, and she could cut down a whole tree.

Sunny can't become an Alicorn because she spent her time mixing smoothies instead of heeding Twilight's warning. She really isn't a true Alicorn material.

Yeah, Opaline, why do you want to kill the dragon so badly?

Misty gets a cuttie mark for doing absolutely nothing? They were free before and they are free now. That's just nothing with extra steps.

I guess getting a cuttie mark is really easy. You just have to plan to kill somepony and then decide not to.

Opaline Arcana being awesome!

Opaline turns into Trixy and starts referring to herself in the third person.

Sunny, why are you casting a shield? Opaline already cast one. Why do you need two?

"Together we can do anything."   "You can do it alone, Sunny." - I'm getting mixed messages here.

Sunny, turning into an Alicorn can now drain cutie marks. She has become Tirek, the destroyer of the world.

Misty is too stupid to play a spy. So she plays a double spy.

Sunny: "Seeing you in danger made me powerful. I must put you in danger more often."

"I've betrayed you 1000 times, but you can toootaly trust me now."

"I'll do whatever it takes."  - I like where this is going.

Opaline wants to suck more.

The lesson of the day: Set deadly traps for all your friends. Then just before they come home, disarm the traps. That's how cutie marks are got!
