Buckball Season Review and Spoilers · 4:07pm Sep 3rd, 2016
In which Damocles23 laments there weren't any Daddy Duck or Bugs Bunny Jokes. A pretty low key episode overall. Very low key. Extremely low key...But I'm here to give you the bright side, after all: It plays off well with Rainbow and Applejack's character development. If previous episodes saw them push themselves off the edge this time they show that their attitudine applied to the msot mellow, easygoing ponies you can find doesn't apply too well. The ending of the episode makes it for me because they used their skills as athletes as motivators and not just for themselves. I am pretty perplexed about Fluttershy still being a coward especially after praising her so much in Flutter Brutter and I'm kinda tired of having her always being cheered up on and not being truly assertive. On the other hand, stage fright is a thing for her so i guess it could work that way? Pinkie Pie is just hilarious and cute but I'm just preaching to the choir here. Special mention goes to Snails who achieved Nirvana and gives no bucks to anypony. Seeing Braeburn again was a nice surprise and I can't wait for more fanart of that bulky pegasus with him pn the team whose name I didn't catch and I'm not planning to write about her get your mind out of the gutter.
I totally will.
Said pegasus bears an interesting similarity to a certain duo from Ponyville, right?
Or was that just me?
4189355 Honestly, I thoguh it was Bulk Biceps' sister or something.
Maybe a long lost cousin of Bulk Biceps? Also, it was a nice episode. Snails and Fluttershy asserting herself were just two of my favorite parts in this episode.
4189373 Oh, yeah. Her freakout was long overdue and had the best faic.
4189383 Eeyup, the facial expressions were funny.
I wouldn't call Fluttershy or Pinkie's apprehension cowardice. They just learned a game that they turned out to be naturals at, then are expected to play a hugely important game two days later. Only a massive overconfident ego like Dash's would be okay with that.
4191998 Yeah but after all they went trough I think it was too much overplayed.
4192949 To each his own.
