Hyped for this episode.

Why synopsis give me a feeling they are trying to make this one into a comedy chapter? And what would be a lesson from this one? Grouping the bad guys together and they would reform themselves?

daddy grogar lol

Oh this is going to be funny

pure evil swayed by cupcacks i love it.

Why are you still posting on my feed? I don't want you posting on my feed. I've asked you to stop multiple times and you keep doing it.

Please stop harassing me.

lovin this song.

..... ok so they are nailing the villains. especially chrysalis.

Wasn't expecting a villain song... or for it to be so catchy!

Also Chrysalis, you only came close to conquering Equestria twice, three times if we count the comics...

The song was so bad, it was good and so good, it was bad.

Tirek spitting part of Chrysalis' essence on a cupcake was funny.

I hardly see any angle that would make this into a dark episode. The only thing that might top this plot would be one or two shippings happen between them and minor female antagonists/background characters. (i.e. Suri or Harshwhinny?)

bug on ice! lol

tirek dreams about gram gram? thats.... really funny

5060421
Four, with comics. She was helping the Umbrum, until she figured out she was helping the unbrum and left because she knew that alliance would never work. That is the only time she wasn’t defeated and instead just left

SnakeBull!!!!

.... their trying to humanize them.... starting small with bonding and quirks

Cozy Glow is such a manipulative little twerp! I love how Twilight basically hindered her even without being there!

Also, nice to see Chrysalis being creative with her shape-shifting abilities (and a nice callback to the Cragidile).

Wow, Tirek played things smartly. Nice.

5060429
Technically that one doesn't count as canon, and it was more Hope and Sombra's plan than hers alone.

Remember, aspects of the comic are semi-canonical until the show disproves it.

Cozy Glow, "Ponies are suppose to do what I said because I'm just so cute and adorable!"

Darla Dimple, "People are suppose to do what I said because I'm just so cute and adorable!"

Best episode of the season so far!

Chryssi is bae.

new ship! chryrek! also tsunderes!!!!!

There's something weirdly charming about seeing the villains bond like this...

Rustbucket: I'm ok!

Chrysalis, Cozy, & Tirek: "WE DON'T CARE!"

I... wasn't aware that Tirek could actually return magic that he'd stolen.

Oooooh.... the villains are gonna pull off a backstab! I LOVE IT!!

Now that was fun. 9/10. Loved the interactions between the villains and the song was great.

5060436
Well, it's going to end soon so it might be the best episode ever.

Amazing episode from start to finish.

Just filled out my current top 5 episodes.

5060435 Cozy really channeled her inner Darla Dimple throughout the episode

5060439
this really was a good villain episode. or a tsune episode depending on the season.

Good episode, great character development, nice song and good world building. Evil/10

Fucking LOVED this one! Now I REALLY can't wait to see what happens to these group of frenemies :ajsmug:

Perhaps there's a chance that they actually WON'T be reformed?

Top Ten Anime Betrayal

Also, sooooo close to having them all reform, foreshadowing?

This was an amazing episode!

I mean, I do love myself a good villain team-up, but the way they interacted in this episode was incredible!

I'm not going to lie, I honestly thought that Grogar would wise up and do something to trick them into betraying each other so they didn't get too smart and rise up against him, but the episode left it open for them to start plotting on their own. I love it!

9/10

5060448
combination of his plan and arrogance prevents him from trying to keep them apart. plus as powerful as he is grogar cant solo this mission.

Power struggles within the Legion of Doom never end well. Take note from the DCAU, guys. When Lex Luthor tried to pull that stuff on Gorilla Grodd, he ended up unwittingly bringing back Darkseid. I can't imagine the ponified version of that being any more pleasant. :pinkiesick:

This was a hilarious watch. From Cozy Glow's two-faced nature to Tirek's pretentiousness to the villainous tango (a lot of villain songs turn out to be tangos, does anyone else realize that?), it was just a lot of fun all around. Though if Grogar is smart, he'll know he can't trust these miscreants any more than they trust each other. At the end of the day, he's still the one running the show. I'm so eager to see him really cut loose.

5060453
with lex he thought he was bringing back brainiac... though a ponified brainiac wouldnt be any better.

Not going to lie though, I did not expect the new musical number between these three to be anything like what we got. I enjoyed it don't get me wrong, but I thought it was going to be something like this:

Sombra: "...I don't sing."

5060436
she was so nonchalont about it like this was a common occurance... it might be though.

5060457
on that note (lol) would grogar be scar or would cozy glow?

5060460
so the others are the hyenas? i can see that happening. considering they betrayed (and ate) scar..... please let that happen.

5060421
"Several" is one of those words like "a few," "many," or "some" that has no precise meaning, other than "more than one."

5060434
On the other hand, Twilight managed to have a dis-crediting freakout without even being in the episode.

5060436
And the only one so far not to feature any of the main cast. I'm sure this is just a coincidence.

5060458
They had been in each other's company for "weeks" at that point. Familiarity breeds contempt.

5060461
Ooooooooookay, I guess we know your fetish now.

5060464
...................paralells............

Prediction: the mane six get defeated, Grogar betray Team meanies (Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow), the mane six with Team meanies and their allies have an epic smackdown with Grogar and his army. Team meanies learn about the true power of friendship.

Can't wait for the next episode, Sweet And Smokey. From the picture on Derpibooru, that episode is gonna be fill with cavities causing cuteness.

Chrysalis x 'Log'
r34

5060466
no spoilers!!!!!1!1!! also that would be cool.

5060468
shes losing it! lol also i think its too late for that.

This was a fun episode! The villains needed more attention.

5060468
in4b people said Chrysalis' log look like a phallus symbol, lol.

5060461
The hyenas didn't betray Scar, they unleash righteous vengeance upon him after he betray them telling Simba, "I'm not your enemy, we're family. It's the hyenas that are the true enemy. It was their fault."

Don't worry, I won't spoiled the next episode. I'm just a little psyche for it and maybe the Last Crusade.

Somehow, I think this topped last week's ep. Great song, everyone was perfectly in-character and bouncing off one-another to superb comedic effect. A nice, dysfunctional trio to contrast our heroines. And I can't wait to read the inevitable backstory fic starring Tirek's grandmother.
