*my nonexistent Italian friend whispers in my ear*
...What do you mean, this one's p*ssing people off too?
I'd point out how ridiculous it is for Celestia to be afraid of chickens... but considering what happened in the final issue of IDW'S Friends Forever... I can't help but wonder if this is some weird form of PTSD....
5077996 I'm fairly certain there's a more recent example, but I just going off the top of my head I remember the general reaction to Twilight's Seven being pretty positive.
5077994 I do. What's the point in delegating when you can just cut out the incompetent middlemen and put the people who actually know what they're doing in charge?
Luna was cuter than usual. Probably because this was the first time she actually expressed enthusiasm instead of being the stoic one. Also I can relate to her more since I don't really like the extreme stuff. I'd rather just relax then fear for my life in case something went wrong will a thrill-seeking ride or activity.
5077980 At this point I'm almost guaranteed to side with writers because of most of the crap people whine about is either stupid, entitled, or obnoxiously nitpicky
5078016 I agree with you there, like in the We Hate Everything About MLP complaining about Applejack being kin to both orange and pear. I think people don't understand that professional writer have to deal with time restraint, FFC regulation, and other stuff.
It like how the fans of the TMNT comics hate the 1980s TMNT cartoon. They couldn't show human being hurt or kill which is why they change the foot ninja into robots. And they change Baxter Stockman from black to white because they were worried that people would scream racism even though the Shredder(Oroku Saki) is Japanese. And I doubt they could show Hamato Yoshi's wife being beaten by Oroku Nagi.
And once again Twilight bit off more than she can chew. I'm surprise she haven't have a heart-attack yet.
Now we know where Spike got his zip-lining idea from.
I think Luna should be made the Postmaster General of Equestria.
Apparently, Celestia indirectly taught Twilight how to be a worrywart and a control freak.
I wish we could have a giant turtle garbage removal in real life.
I wondered how long it take before people complain about Celestia being afraid of chicken. Just because an animal look cute and adorable doesn't mean it isn't dangerous.
And once again Spike prove that why being Twilight's assistant is one of the most important job in Equestria.
Twilight, asking for help is not a sign of weakness. I know you know this.
And cue zimmerwald giving me this "I told you so" lecture even though it's entirely possible for Twilight to have an ego and forgo her common sense...
This was a fun way to close out the first half of the season. We haven't had a proper Royal Sister episode since A Royal Problem, and seeing how different they are and how much they get on each other's nerves is always a treat. Especially since the transition between them bonding and their falling out was rather gradual and expertly paced. The subplot with Twilight taking over the dumb swan celebration was not too shabby, either. In fact, it shows that even all-powerful rulers would be fools to try to do everything by themselves. So, yeah. No complaints.
I'm still baffled at the fact that Twilight can block blasts from Sombra (with some difficulty); someone who stalemated Celestia, yet a small amount of Celestia and Luna's power can do something she cannot. It's like the writers are trying to say she's close in power to the Sisters, yet at the same time is nowhere near them.
It's a bit of a stretch, but I predict that Celestia and Luna are somehow going to sacrifice themselves in the finale. I don't know how but I just think maybe. Which would teach us the final and hardest lesson of friendship that ALL will inevitably learn...saying goodbye.
If this will be the LAST episode we will see them in their care free form then it didn't disappoint.
And in any event, asking for help is absolutely a sign of weakness. It's just that being weaker than the super-being of your own expectations isn't shameful.
Why didn’t [...] twilight use her teleportation to help spike?
Because Twilight's powers have always been entirely conditional on the needs of the plot -- there have been dozens of episodes that could have had their problems solved in a blink by Twilight teleporting herself or others to safety. The infamous "leap of faith" in "Feeling Pinkie Keen", for instance -- going by the lengths she's teleported before and since, Twilight should easily have been able to clear a few meters. Generally speaking, if a story can quickly be resolved by Twilight teleporting, then she won't.
To be entirely honest, I think that the show should either have not introduced teleporting to begin with or kept it as a difficult and potentially dangerous thing like it was in "The Ticket Master". Oh well; hindsight's 20/20.
5078048 Eh, that's assuming that the sun and moon thing is strictly power-based and that raw magic power scales evenly for everything, which we don't know. If anything, "A Royal Problem" and "Horse Play" imply that raising and setting the sun and moon is more closely tied to Luna and Celestia's personal talents/cutie marks/innate magic than to raw strength.
5078055 They pretty explicitly use the term "power" when they give her the amulet, hence why I brought it up. How does "A Royal Problem" imply that? I can understand "Horse Play" but what about the former episode?
5078038 regarding of Celestia being scared of chicken... did you notice that some birds in equestria seems to be feathered bundles of hatred? (like chihuauas with wings) such as the gooses used in Twilight's Seven or this same episode with the swans? not to mention cockatrices... who knows what the chicken is on about.... i can't imagine what is an equestrian Emu like....
5078048 I was disappointed by the amulet. For a moment I that the writers were going to have Twilight research how the unicorn's raised the sun and the mood before Celestia and Luna came to power. Could have been some cool world building.

Jokes aside, I'm actually feeling fairly optimistic going into this episode.
Gail Simone sucks at writing.
Nicole and Tabitha made this episode.
5077952
You shut your damn mouth.
Say, rather, that not even she can rescue these characters anymore.

Some people are never happy. I find it funny how some amateur think they can do better than a professional writer.
5077979
Capper is the best.
5077975
Nah, it was definitely Simone just doing her thing.
This was an amusing, well-written episode and I have no complaints.
5077946
Can you remember the last episode that didn’t split the fandom in half over how much they liked/hated it?
5077996
I'm fairly certain there's a more recent example, but I just going off the top of my head I remember the general reaction to Twilight's Seven being pretty positive.
5077996
The Perfect Pear. The part of the fandom that dislikes it is a small minority.
5077994
I do. What's the point in delegating when you can just cut out the incompetent middlemen and put the people who actually know what they're doing in charge?
This was a great Episode.
derpicdn.net/img/2019/5/26/2049493/medium.gif
This and Frenemies are my favorite episodes of the season so far.
Luna was cuter than usual. Probably because this was the first time she actually expressed enthusiasm instead of being the stoic one. Also I can relate to her more since I don't really like the extreme stuff. I'd rather just relax then fear for my life in case something went wrong will a thrill-seeking ride or activity

One of the worst episodes of this season my opinion. Really don’t like how the characters are in this episode especially Luna and Celestia.
Why didn’t Fluttershy use her stare ability to stop the turtle or twilight use her teleportation to help spike?
5078012
ditto, a lot of fun in both of them
5078018
She did.
Because she's an idiot.
5078015
Welp, caption time!

.
And I wouldn't say no to any of it
So... seems 2Snacks has gone cannon now.
Good song.
So Pinkie was short for "Pinkerton" this whole time!
I keep thinking Luna ought to be the adventurous one. That opinion probably somes from the IDW comics.
And that is how Twilight destroyed Equestria. The End.
It's still an amusing episode though.
5078020
Twilight forgets she can teleport all the time...I just don't think the girl can think on her hooves.
Anyone want to tell me why Twi gets beat by a giant chicken, but takes out Sombra?
And once again Twilight bit off more than she can chew. I'm surprise she haven't have a heart-attack yet.
Now we know where Spike got his zip-lining idea from.

5078036 For a smart alicorn, Twi sure did cling to the Idiot Ball
When Celestia and Luna returned, Twilight told them that they could take their job, and keep it!
5078038
It's about the process!
5078038
Pretty sure that category embraces everything above oat mash at this point.
5078037
Because she tried to do the first on her own, when she can't in fact function or contribute to any degree without a whole support structure.

I think Fluttershy only uses her stare if it's really important. As she can talk with animals, at least she did tell the turtle to stop.
I'm still baffled at the fact that Twilight can block blasts from Sombra (with some difficulty); someone who stalemated Celestia, yet a small amount of Celestia and Luna's power can do something she cannot.

...Yeah you're right.
I give it a ZIPLIIIIIIIIIIINE!/10.

You and me both, friend.
