My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale 🦄 S1 E67 | The Rise and Fall | Full Episode MLP G5 (my commentary) · 12:29pm Nov 16th, 2023
Yay, it starts with Opaline, my role model.
Why is Racunacorn filming? Why not Misty? Is Misty really that useless that a mere critter can do a better job than her?
Opaline cracks herself up.
Opaline spams the ponynet with, "I am a princess. Please give me moneys. 'Tis totally not a scam."
Wait, she has dragons now? Didn't they like leave the Dragon Lands and hide?
Dragons don't just look like ponies because of lazy animators, they even have manes now.
If Alphabiddle lost his cutie mark, does that mean he won't be capable of making teas anymore?
Yay, she's making her own Harmony tree with cutie marks and everything. That's so nice of her.
Why does Hitch call her 'thief' even before she steals? Can Hitch see the future?
Opaline is the sheriff now.
Did you know that if you tie pegassis' legs, they can't fly anymore, for some reason? I didn't know that either. It actually makes no sense at all.
Opaline is collecting power-ups. Who knew RL could be such a fun game?
Opaline promised Misty a cutie mark if she did her bidding. Since Misty failed her, she didn't deserve the cutie mark. So, it makes sense why Opaline would take it. Misty should earn it first.
Sunny couldn't beat her the first time. What makes her think she can do it the second time? She's been selling smoothies instead of training.
Fighting is Magic is now canon.
How does Opaline have all the cutie mark magic if the tree has them? How does that work?
"All I know is that I have to try." A for effort, Sunny. F for results. And in the end, results are the only thing that matters.
"You cannot take what makes me me." - Looming death disagrees with you, Sunny.
So, if there are no crystals, there is no magic. So why does Opaline still have magic?
So, they have no cutie-mark magic. There is no magic in Equestria anymore. And they use that non-existent magic to... what exactly?
And how does everypony know the lyrics to this just-crafted song? Now that's magic. Magic of lazy writing.
Yes, tentacles! I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.
I call dibs on the fire alicorn cutie mark.
I thought only Alicorns could steal magic, but apparently, everypony can do it, even without using magic.
So, Opaline became part of the tree then? Fluttershy would be so jelly.
Lesson of the day: When you're about to win and bring order to the world, Deus ex machina.
That’s also kinda what happened when Cozy first tried to steal magic in S8…the tree of harmony intervened.
Opaline might learn to enjoy her ultimate fate…
But yeah who the f-yay needs abridged series when everything’s summarized in 5 mins lol. Though pragmatically I wonder how much of a spoiler this really is because this is a kids show and we all know Sunny and the new mane 6 will triumph in the end
5755130 The irony is that it was the tree that allowed her to enslave dragons and steal cutie marks.
I bet Opaline is learning a lot of lessons inside that tree. I bet they'll impact her deeply.
This episode sure was intense. We got Fighting is Magic and Tentacle Hentai all in the span of a few minutes.
You have till the end to your current breath to change my ashamed disappointment for you.
Opaline: *cough* *cough*
...eh, good enough.
Wait... how does this fossil know how to operate a device she likely obtain in a span of a year and getting it to PM everyone in the entire realm?
...if I could only show that facepalm from that Resident Evil 4 parody. Sunny, you're the new Ashley.
And writers... shame on you. I don't care if you only had less than 5 minutes, you needed a better ending than just 'Friend Power!' your way out of this. You either make a good freek'n fight, or pull a logical turnabout to win against the big bad... or just don't make this episode (if you can even call it that).
Exactly. I mean, just recall all the near-death moments with Beaker.

5755137 Not to mention that while she was streaming, Mane 5 accepted her challenge, then fought her and lost. And in a few seconds, Sunny managed to teleport to Opaline. That must have been the most intense stream ever.
Looks to me like it is
5755174 Oh, I think Opaline will wish it was over when she struggles for eternity against the curious tentacles. It will never be over, Opaline. This is your life now.
5755176
Personally, I'd criticize her little plans. Like, stealing magic and cutie marks? Oh, brilliant. Except Tirek did it first. Even brainwashing other creatures was something out of Sombra's book. I wonder if she's ever had an original idea
5755180 Given that she lived through all of that, it's amazing that she didn't learn anything from it. She even got defeated the exact same way as Tirek, just with more tentacles.
5755207
Oh yeah, she did. Still got a bad feeling she will be back though. She's like a cockroach, but uglier
5755258 Or maybe she'll get redeemed like Misty. But secretly, she'll try to learn the magic of friendship.
5755285
Somehow that seems unlikely
5755316 I'd watch that, though. Seeing the mighty fall, constantly having to struggle against her pride just to get by. Being the only pony without magic, she'd constantly have to beg for help. All the while, she'd constantly be sus in everypony's eyes. She'd constantly have to prove herself to everypony.
