2, 4, 6, Greaaat - Episode Reaction

More foreign early releases, I guess! I just wanna catch up before people give in to the inner spoiler imp inside them, so read these episode reactions at own risk if you still wait for the proper American release schedule.

Now let’s see what this one is about.

Jocklestia is now canon.

Twilight’s face at Pinke XD

With as much extra screen time Snails now gets as a athlete, I always wonder about Snips. Then I remember how he acted last time he showed up to abuse his slow friend’s fame for profit and I care less.

Overly excited pegabirb enters stage.

Twi... Twi... you picked the jockiest of jocks among your friends to ever have jocked, for cheerleading? I’m kinda amused by this actually. Especially with cheerleader prof Pinkie cast as the coach instead.

Audio issues during themesong, and I’m not talking about my usual complaints about the visuals of the new intro never truly sync with the song’s pace. Hopefully it’s not a repeat issue through the episode beyond the themesong.

Also, another addition to the School of Friendship that kind of excludes non-pony students when you think about it.

I’m both surprised and accepting by Rainbow’s reaction to be declared cheer squad coach. Of course she appreciates cheerleaders more than let on now, she lives for attention and appreciations of her accomplishments. But as she said, her focus have always been on the accomplishments on the field, obviously never put much thought into the work cheer squads put into what hey do. Whiiiich still spells her as bad choice for this, beyond the joke. Twi, she can’t coach what she has no clue about.

Oh, there’s Snips.

At least they are consistent with his newfound hunger for profit, I can respect that. Dude got business sense.

Don’t lie, Smolder. You know you’ll look hella cute in a cheerleader outfit.

Awwwwww, Ocellus~

Aaand we got Dash phoning it in.

Yes, Dash is obviously being selfish on this, but it’s hard for her to fake interest in something she has no, well, interest in. It’s true to her character although definitely put in thick for this. Usually Dash would hate to let down other people needing her, but again this cris cross a lot against her actual interesting distracting her.

But also, really gonna go cliche with only female cheerleaders (Snips just on the side for merch)?

Aaand there she tries to smear it off onto somepony else.

Oh Snails.

Snails is killing it, going full guru. He gonna ascend!

I definitely like those new outfits rather than the dirt brown only the two ponies were wearing.

Still same day? How many hours already used on this!? Tho I dig Smolder’s frustrated expression with that line delivery XD

Yap, Smolder definitely looks hecka cute in a cheerleader skirt.

Damn, Rainbow.

Ya know things fiicked when Ocellus actually raises her voice. Except Dash.

“You are the most enthusiastic pony in all of Equestria, when it’s something YOU care about!” AAAAAND there you have it.

Behind upskirt view for Snips, I’m expecting pervy fan works of that, and you all know you do too.

I do wanna see Snips actually got himself a permit for making and selling this merch, but he sounds deep enough into it to made sure of it. I like he gets a chance too to show he’s not just a locale dumb redneck like in his first appearance, just like Snails.

I do like the dragon smoke machine thing they got going. Only drawback being it’s obviously not water based vapor.

OoOoOooooooooh.. I was wondering about a school for Gifted Unicorns were gonna make a diverse buckball team, I thought they (the writers) were just gonna fudge it and pretend out of nowhere they school also have pegasi and earth ponies studying different kinds of magic. But silly me, that would be too heavy a concept of diversity that the school could offer more than just unicorn lessons. But I do adore to see magic cancelling horn rings are now official canon and to see the return of those magic wings from the first season.

Jocklestia, we need a character blog of her being a real sports nut Chad.

Really do dig they made good use of Yona’s stomping powers instead of just telling her to stop stomping.

Very cute show ^u^

Unicorns really did out maneuver natural earth pony and pegasi? Okay it did beat the cliche of letting the side of the protags automatically win, but I got harder time buying this. Of course we don’t know how much extra time they been practicing before Celestia suggested a friendly game between the schools, only giving the Friendship team two weeks to catch up.

Yes, Imma be digging this new canon of competitive Celestia. She gonna make a cheersquad of her own now just to beat Rainbow Dash’s team.

Twilight, Rainbow caused two students to run off CRYING from failed practice because of her lack of care, before she learned her lesson.

Still a fairly cute episode, Dash was pouring it on a bit thick to a point of hurting others. But still somewhat true to her character that she can dismissive to a point of cruel when not interested in something she gets forced on her. Easy flaw for most, Dash can just be a bit too oblivious about it for her part.

I like they keep expanding the buckball concept, it’s an official sport now and now also got official schools teams competing outside the official leagues. Still got rules that although they can twist around them to allow a full unicorn team to play a three tribe role team, it still seems to exclude non-ponies. We need a sport that can be played across the boarders too.

Anyways, cute episode.
