    Thoughts on Top Bolt

    This is another episode I felt like abit out of place, but I did enjoy watching it as I relate to Vapor Trail a lot. The idea of this episode is mainly centered around two ponies: a shy, somewhat nervous mare named Vapor Trail and a stallion Pegasus, who is rather full of himself named Sky Stinger. The two usually work as a team as new cadets training to be a part of the Wonderbolt Academy, but

    Thoughts on Where the Apple Lies

    This episode is one that I would not expect to be in season six, but it was one of my favorite episodes in the season, given how it gives us some backstory to the Apples, which I honestly enjoy when an episode focuses on the Apple family. The episode is basiclly a fable to teach Apple Bloom about telling lies and how Applejack got herself into a heap of trouble lying to Filthy Rich about selling

    Thoughts on P.P.O.V

    This episode was odd but good, as it felt like the first time we saw actual conflict between the mane six in a while. I felt like this maybe would work in earlier seasons, but seeing the Mane Six still have conflict with each other despite being friends for a few years now shows they still have issues with each other, and it makes their relationship feel more natural. So basiclly, Pinkie Pie,

    Thoughts on Every Little Thing She Does

    This episode is one of the more interesting episodes in season six. Weird enough, Starlight Glimmer wasn't in this season all that often despite her being the former antagonist staying in Ponyville. It's odd that we don't see her progress through friendship lessons like Twilight did in Season One. This would've helped, in my opinion, with her character development, but besides that, this episode

    Thoughts on "Viva Las Pegasus"

    This particular episode wasn't one that I would have guessed would work, but it did as it centers around "Flim and Flam," who have to be the most interesting "B" villains in the show. This time, The scam artists aren't antagonists but victims, as they and some other show ponies are being conned by Gladmane, the former owner of Las Pegasus, into fighting with each other, so they remain under his

Thoughts on Luna Eclipsed · 4:57am Oct 11th, 2020

So this episode was the first "Halloween special" for the show. A lot of cartoons usually have seasonal Christmas and Halloween, and even Thanksgiving episodes. But what made this different was the holiday which they replaced Halloween with "Nightmare's Night" in FIM and used it more as a background to the main events instead of having the holiday be the central focus of the episode. Here we explore the character of Luna for the first time since we saw her in the first two episodes. Being pretty much gone for a thousand years realistically she shouldn't even be able to communicate with the other ponies let alone be able to understand their customs. So I'm glad to see that she even uses what is known as the "royal Canterlot voice." as a way to address her subjects and has no concept of "fun." I honestly wished there were more moments in the episode because I felt the whole message of her "being scary is actually fun." kind of a letdown. Yeah, Luna had to understand that Nightmare's Night was more about having fun through being scary but I kind of wished she was able to get to know Twilight and her friends more to understand her better. She is definitely one of the most underutilized characters in the show and at the very least this episode again introduced us to her as an actual character. But overall I think it simply could've done a better job of that.

Definitely true. The reason why we barely got any Luna content in Season One was because the people at Hasbro thought that she was actually still a villain, despite the fact that the series premiere had her being redeemed. I fail to understand corporate logic when they are trying to dictate the actions within a show that is designed to help promote their products and manages to grow its own fandom beyond their target demographic as it has.
