Thoughts on 28 Pranks Later (S6 Ep 15) (Spoilers) · 12:52am Aug 14th, 2016
Technically zombies exist in their universe. I've seen enough movies where zombies come about and they never use the word cause they don't know what a zombie is but since they said zombies in the newest episode they must exist in that universe. Also this makes zombies in a bunch of other fanfics seem really plausible. Now granted they're cookie zombies but zombies none the less!
Now about the episode, I liked it, I really liked it. Rainbow being her normal prank-y self was great but I felt so bad for Flutters ;-;. RD decides that no one is safe (poor Cranky) and has a detailed plan for every prank (mostly). Then of course there's "the big one" which she needs Pinkies help with. I love the fact that Pinkie as able to successfully make up zombies story but how she convinced EVERYONE I don't know. Ponyville isn't small so I thought it was interesting. Though there's a lot of holes RD over looked, it was over all a great and funny episode. Favorite part was at the end when she said "Totally! You ponies pulled off an amazing prank! I'll have to work extra hard to top it!" And everyone was in disbelief, I loved it. I give it a 10/10!
Technically, zombies were canon since season 1. Remember the Zecora episode? Spike mentioned zombies there!
As a side note, the episode wasn't all that interesting to me. Sure I liked the zombie idea, but I personally liked the buckball episode, or the one with the Flim Flam brothers better.
You know, we have quite a few minor antagonists reformed. I'm thrilled to see if there will be an Iron Will Episode with Fluttershy!
4234827 Yeah, you're right, those were really good episodes, I've just been lazy with my thoughts about posting blogs about them. And its been a long time since I've watched season 1...
I do hope that there might be other antagonist that could be reformed, though I don't really think Iron Will is an antagonist, he's just a business spokes minotaur, you can't blame him...

The same technically could be said about Trixie's first appearance.
As a side note, I liked to see her again in that new episode, but I didn't like that they made her more humble. She is a showmare! That is almost like butchering her character!
4234940 You could say that about trixie in her first appearance, but then she enslaved the entire town, that's sombra level shit right there! XD
And she was humble until it was shown she was using Starlight, that's pretty bad...

But you also have to consider that in her first appearance her home was destroyed, while she was COMPLETELY blamed for the incident, even though she wasn't dumb enough to run in a forest and bring the Ursa to town. Her entire career was destroyed, so of course she had a huge grudge. Not to mention she was pretty desperate. She of course saw her wrongdoing in her second appearance, but that still didn't make her life easier in the future. She probably still was treated badly. And that all thanks to the incident with Twilight in Ponyville. The using Starlight bit was pretty harmless and maybe even petty revenge for Trixie in the end, which showed that she learned not to go over the top with her grudge, but it was still there. It must be frustrating to be wronged by national heroes, while her attempts at revenge is the only thing she can do. I doubt she could sue Twilight and her friends for calumny, considering how close they are to Celestia and the whole national hero thing. So, yeah. Trixie was the one who had it pretty bad, but none of the so called 'good guys' seemed to care for her. Desperation can do rather drastic things to people, so I could never blame Trixie.
As a side note, Pinkie was even mocking her after she told how her life was ruined and she had to work on a rock farm. They were treating her like a villain, which she was clearly not. Funny thing is that Twilight never even thought about offering friendship to Trixie. This was also one of Twilight's failures and Trixie might not have made some mistakes if they would have actually treated her right.
Puh... That's quite a lot of text. But I'm quite passionate about things I think are simply unjust.
4235624 I understand, Twilight does need to show her friendship. Writer, get on it! XD And yeah I think all people will get passionate about things that are important to them.
