Make Your Mark - episode 2: Growing pains (my commentary) · 9:32pm Sep 29th, 2022
It's not on Youtube, so I can't post it, but here's my commentary of Make Your Mark - episode 2: Growing pains
There's just one pony with a mustache in Mare Time Bay, and his occupation is styling mustaches. He gave it 20% off, yet for some mysterious reason, nopony took him up on the offer.
Nopony wears a hat. Not even the one selling hats. How do these ponies make a living?
Hitch is scared of tentacles. I mean vines...
If you ever try to impress me, just open the door for me with tentacles.
Apparently, Hitch didn't like tentacles but is totally cool with them now. I mean, with magic.
Is it scary that birds are more intelligent than ponies?
Sea Shell was stuck on tentacles. She seemed quite happy about it, for some reason.
The fillies want ALL the tentacles! No rules. No holding back.
Hitch approves.
Fillies use telepathic synchronization. Because... magic, I guess.
Sprout is back! And this time, he's not useless. He's destructive.
The berry bounces from... a curve? And then from... a bush?
Hitch can save everypony except himself.
No, Sunny, Hitch didn't make an impact. He was the impact zone.
Fruit juice can stay in your mane for weeks, says Hitch who bathed in it and doesn't have a single drop of it in his mane.
A new sign was invented: Stand under barriers.
Sunny wants to make a profit off berries.
She wants to become so rich that she could take over the planet.
But hitch knows that absolute berries corrupt absolutely.
Permissious education is the way to go, says Sunny.
Queen Opaline has a spying mirror. But she doesn't need it since she can still see Sunny even after she closes it.
Also, is she really just standing in front of a mirror days upon days? Why does she even need Misty to spy for her?
I guess she does since she'd check her personal mirror every minute.
Queen Opaline needs Misty's care. Misty's body is not ready.
Hitch wants more rules. Sets zero rules for the baby he's responsible for.
"That was so funny!" Izzy forgets to laugh. I really wish there was more show and less tell in Gen 5.
Izzy has a fetish for dragons.
Potential threats and dangers. Being turned into a random object at every hiccup does sound dangerous.
"There will be no use of Earth pony magic!" Hitch uses magic to hold onto cards even though they should have fallen off his hoof.
Hitch wants to collect data about magic from ponies who are forbidden to use any magic. It's like learning to extract oxygen from water from a fish that is dying in the desert.
We don't know what's possible yet and we never will if nopony uses magic.
Ponies accept Hitch's tyranny like the ship that they are.
More tentacle fun.
Hitch made stickers to remind everypony not to breathe fire.
Izzy asks Sparky if he wants food. He does. Wants to take a bite out of Izzy.
Turns out Sparky can ask. I've never heard him talk, though.
Dallia's superpower is suicide by alergies.
Izzy is unable to use magic anymore. Because she has a tomato on her horn.
"Destroy everything, Sparky. Destroy! I'll get so many uphooves for this video!"
"I can grow food." Hitch says, "Don't do it again."
The hooves glow green and Pipp screams, "Not a good look!" Because everypony hates green. Green is the worst color.
The lesson of the day is: Celibacy makes priests abuse little children. Put an end to celibacy.
Hitch has a bright idea, "Remember how we destroyed everything about Gen 4 when we did Gen 5? Let's do that again but with Gen 5. Let's destroy the crystals."
Isn't it nice when babysitters come at the exact moment you need them? I've never seen any creator make use of plot armor as the creators of Gen 5.
Hitch destroys everything and then asks himself, "What am I doing?"
Hitch is not the sheriff they need, but he is the sheriff they want.
Forget magic of friendship. Cutie-mark magic is what Gen 5 is about.
Pipp records every little minutia. Fails to record the most important recording of Twilight.
"You are exposed to the world once again." - Is this a meta thing? Like, if there's magic, there's a show and now they're exposed to us seeing them? Twilight, you're making 0 sense.
"Hitch, you have to reverse action." - So, inaction?
Izzy knows Opaline how?
Opaline's plan is the same as Sunny's plan was. Bring moar magic. So, why is she the villain?
"Express yourselves!" - Then the ponies do the exact opposite and unexpress everything.
Hitch draws a satanic ritualistic symbol on the ground. "The power of Satan compels you, giant berry."
Tentacles can save you from getting dirty, somehow.
The perfect blend is no bland at all. Pipp criticizes Sunny's smoothy making between the lines.
Turns out that the best way to take care of Sparky is to not take care of Sparky.
Hitch was permissive before and now he learned to be even more. Not sure if any of us are learning good lessons here.
After hundreds of uses of dragon flame, Sunny opens her eyes for the first time and notices that Sparky can use magic.
Sparky is a shaman.
Sparky arms the nuclear tree. The doomsday clock is ticking.

I like the seagull
5689403 Steven Seagal?
I used to be his fan because I loved action movies. But then I realized he has a brick wall where his face should be.

No
