Make Your Mark - Chapter 5: Nightmare on Mane Street (commentary) · 11:23pm Nov 27th, 2023
Nightmare on Mane Street? Another Nightmare Night episode?
I hope Misty will dress up as a plank and will only be planking throughout the episode.
They finally used Nightmare Night's name for the holiday. Previously they used like 5 other names for it.
Them pumpkins look kind of flat. So flat it's scary.
Hitch tries to be scary but is not. Hitch is only scary when he acts as himself.
Hitch is twilighting on Nightmare Night.
Socs are now canon.
Ponies are unimpressed.
Capitalism reinvigorates their will to live.
Why does Rocky look like Zipp who fell into a field of golden stinky plants?
Ponies don't want to have a good time. No fun allowed!
Sparky found the golden pumpkin. I believe a reward is in order.
Hitch denies the dragon of the reward. And thus, with an enraged dragon, the world ended in fire.
Pipp has a phobia of anonymity and needs to make a list of all masks and ponies.
Pipp decides to be a scary witch which means that this year, she will have no mask and will just be herself.
Is a witch equivalent to a Unicorn in the MLP universe? Did they also burn witches (Unicorns)?
Zipp will be a Vampony? Is that like a Bat pony?
Misty will be a Unicorn. Worst disguise ever.
Hitch tries to hide the golden pumpkin in the most obvious place.
Izzy made a noose and will hang herself. That may or may not be connected with Nightmare Night.
Hitch hides the pumpkin in a pocket dimension. That or it just slipped to the back doors.
Hitch understands Sparky, except when he doesn't.
Pipp has been flexing her scary side. The scary part is that both sides of her are scary.
Izzy scares herself even before looking into a mirror.
Misty being stupid. Nothing new there.
Pipp throws a batarang, killing a random pony.
Crystal Brighthouse into Crystal Frighthouse. Why not just use Opaline's castle? And hasn't Misty already done something like that?
Misty gets surprised. She doesn't know what she's surprised about. She's not there yet.
"As an Earth pony, I have a clear edge to win." - But, Earth ponies don't have edges...
Why are ponies enjoying leaves?
Opaline isn't thinking with portals.
Opaline wins the event. Her reward is: the world.
Opaline assumes a two-way street.
Twilight wasn't an accountant, so she didn't account for this account.
Did Pipp just say, "Kitchen crap"? - We all know Sunny's activities suck, but you don't have to be so direct, Pipp.
Maze is not a maze. And why is Misty in charge of it instead of Zipp?
Basement is not a basement but just a wardrobe.
Zipp uses Ukraine war tactics. Drones galore.
Did Pipp just say "shit"? - You sure are a potty mouth today, Pipp.
Misty is planking on the web. Let's hope nopony helps her, ever.
Izzy makes lighthouse into... light house.
Hitch wears a mustache because... a pirate?
All ponies know that planning to plan is planning to fail.
Did Sunny just say "cock"? - I like where this is going.
Sunny feels old. Somepony should inform her that she's immortal.
Misty gathers intel for Opaline. She's still evil.
Sunny wins a rap competition. Partially because she's the only one competing.
Turns out Sunny was just listing swear words for Jews.
Misty is useless, but the plot pretends that she's a heroin.
Opaline is happy because she managed to murder somepony.
Opaline grew a together tree... in the castle... even though she could go outside the castle and could just plant it anywhere else.
Opaline can't tell the difference between Twilight and Sunny. I guess the authors can't either since none of them even watched G4.
Pipp has OCD.
Opaline is dressed as herself.
Opaline regrets living. She only has an eternity left.
Turns out Twilight never wanted to imprison her. She was just trying to protect her from annoying ponies.
Pipp uses her batterangs on her friends. They die.
Pipp accidentally draws a mustache on her face with a pen.
Misty doesn't find bats scary because she lived her whole life with them.
Jazz and Rock prepare for an angry sex.
Friendship? That's nuts!
Ponies assume every winged pony is just a disguise.
Opaline becomes a snake, hissing.
Opaline becomes Celestia, banishing to the moon.
And snake again.
Opaline finally got her rainbow beam// dragon fire// magic lantern// fire stone// cutie mark
Opaline's plan is working. Time to devise a different one that will fail.
Did Zipp just say "Bitches"? - I like where this is going.
Derpy is back.
Free for all? What's wrong with free-for-all all?
Pipp is a predator and Misty is a victim.
Misty is dismissive as ever.
Izzy loves to see the world burn.
Pipp tried to do it alone. Had help. Still failed.
Sunny learns a lesson. Doesn't know what the lesson is.
The point flew over Pipp which is funny because she's the only one flying.
Zipp wants to surrender. Victim fetish?
Opaline has finally done it. Goes back to her old plan that couldn't even work in the first place because she couldn't get to Dragon lands which made it a stupid and impossible plan.
Why is she so addicted to failure? She could have just won today.
Also, how does nopony remember that there's a together tree in her castle? And how did Opaline even plant it if she had no friends?
Hitch likes pretty lights. Makes sense why he named his pet Sparky.
"Everypony, get in here." - But Hitch, you're the only male pony there. You're the only one who can 'get in'.
So, they've been to dragonlands, but there were no dragons there. But now they'll go there and there will suddenly be dragons there? I don't get it.
"If we are too late, we'll be too late." - Misty, you're so stupid.
Lesson of the day: If you start winning, sabotage yourself.
I was just mildly confused throughout the Episode. That was like the 3rd time my mental transmission grinded the synchronizers into oblivion and/or blew a gear that day
5756901 Yeah, G5 is all over the place in general, but this episode was especially like that.
