So... That season opener... · 12:04am Apr 7th, 2019
I give it a 7/10. Seemed a little fast-paced during the first episode and somehow we are STILL not pulling out the rainbow powers, that were supposed to be the replacement for the Elements.
Not going to do any kind of official review, just a quick set of points I made while watching.
1. The most peaceful stretch it's ever been? I'm sorry, was that whole time between Luna going emo and her being cured actually just a week-long thing and Celestia just wiped everyone's memories? And I mean EVERYONES'!?
Kind of explains why Luna doesn't hold a grudge...
Also, the two of you, sit your butts back down on those thrones, keep those crowns on your heads, and get back to doing your jobs before I flambe' you both! You two are NOT sticking me with six, SIX, mentally unstable alicorns!
Midnight-!
Alicorn Pinkie, Ink! ALICORN. PINKIE.
Meh, screw secrets, series is almost finished anyway...
2. Holy Sweet Baby Ray's covered Jesus on a Stick, THE META
It's delicious
3. Alright, who let the show writers onto my computer? Who stole my idea of a pony legion of doom as a way to end the series?
And why wasn't I invited? I'm not one of those reformed idiots either.
They'd have to bring back Aria and Sonata as well
...never mind
I'm giving Sonata a cookie for that when I get back. Speaking of which, Ink-
Moving on!
4. Did they really dig underneath those crystals to get out of the cave!? Did those huge crystals erupt only from six inches underground!?
Magic! How work?
Agreed
5. Chrysalis, please don't go back to being sane. You're funner this way
6. Discord, please, never change. You are the golden standard for all draconequi.
Speak. For. Yourself.
I am.
After seeing this, my prediction is that this last season is going to go all-out, balls to the walls. Weather that's a good thing, we can only see. For now, BACK TO THE INK CAVE!
I should really see about making my own one of those...
The rainbow powers weren't a replacement for the Elements, they were a one time deal that was used up and are gone.
Wait. You have an Ink Cave? When did this happen?

BECAUSE I'M INK MAN!
5040297
Oh Luna, I kind of expected that response. I think Adam West would approve though.
5040493
I'd offer a cup of coffee from the Heros' Cafe, but I'm more of a Villains' Pub kind of guy (you'd be surprised how easy to bribe the Joker is)
5040636
So about the Ink Man thing. Are we talking Ink Man 66? Or Ink Man the animated series?
funny stuff Ink.
5040720
Animated series. As done by How It Should Have Ended. Do you know why?
5040723
No, can't say as I do know.
5040785
You wanna know my secret identity?
5040885
Well that happened. I think I've told you this before, but you have a warped mind Ink.

Indeed, right you are Ink.
I can understand why Celestia would want to retire since she ruled alone for a thousand years but I am I the only one who found it strange that Luna would want to retire as well so soon after getting the respect she craved for so long?
5042208
That's why I'm questioning the whole "gone for a thousand years" thing. You'd think Luna would be yelling "my turn, my turn!" in the RCV, but she's treating it like "yeah, that
weekmonthyearvacation really showed me how much work sucked" and making the whole Nightmare Moon episode look even more like a childish tantrum and it makes the Tantabus episode look even worse, like she's even more mentally unstable than that episode made her seem like.In all honesty, I've kinda gave up on the show proper since season 6, so all I really care about it that it kept going this long. It's kept the fandom going and the fandom itself is the only thing keeping me coming back. I think the momentum its built up is enough to keep it going for a while after the show has ended, at least until they release G5 which is already in the works. That'll keep ME going with TWH until it's finished, and the characters I've made here will help be the foundations of whatever I create in the future, be it another fan-work or my own original story.
I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Midnight on this one:
Pinkie of all ponies as a Sun Phoenix-damned Alicorn?!
No.
Just... no.
Dash would be bad enough as one herself (can we say "ego bigger than the planet"?!), but Pinkie as one??!!?
I'd be doing my best to move to another planet!
(I hear Etheria is nice this time of year.)
considers who's there, and reconsiders locations.
Forget Etheria. Make that Mars.

Between her and Calypso, no place will be safe
Also, to be real for a second, I don't think that would be as much as a partypocolypse as most of us would think. Pinkie is actually pretty responsible and would probably be very diligent with magic training, especially when she remembers how much of a hoof-full Pumpkin Cake was.
But yes, you're all doomed. I'll be laughing from my magic-proof bunker.
5059843 Hmmm, good point.
Heaven help us.
Also a very good point.
Yeah, we know, to both of those. rolls eyes
Cheater.

*shrugs* Ain't my fault folks don't invest on bunkers. With all the stuff that goes down every year, I'm surprised more people don't have one. Besides, you can trick it out as a sweet, personal cave while you wait for the manure to hit the fan to make the stay more comfortable. Mine has a meat locker, brick oven for pizza, and several hundred-gallon tanks of pop. Currently trying to figure out where to put the silo of french burnt peanuts.
5059857 Well, you have a point.
Especially since there's a nuclear plant between where I live here in Wentzville and Columbia, which is the one and only one we have here in Missouri.
Pretty sure that's be a pretty big target for somebody with ill intentions.
And that's true.
Silos are kinda pricey, though from what I've heard.
Your bunker sounds sweet, though.

Who says the end of the world has to be boring/scary?
5059868 Hmm, true.
