Keeping it real, Royal Sisters style!
Keeping it real, Royal Sisters style!
Fans love Celestia and Luna, despite, or perhaps even because of, how little they actually get to do in the show. It’s been a running joke in the fandom for eight years now how not only do the Princess never do anything helpful in the thick of action, but that they are almost invariably bested easily despite their powers.
By all fillies in Equestria..... Rainbow Dash was a MASSIVE douche today. I mean, it's not exactly surprising. We've seen her like this in the past. Rainbow Dash always had a douchebag attitude in certain moments. She even used to be a douche to Fluttershy (!) and to Scootaloo (!!) way back in the past. That is her. That is Rainbow Dash. That is one part of her and we all know that some things never change.
"Frenemies" is finally here! The long-awaited episode to see more of Grogar's plan! And, wow, it dropped SO MUCH epic stuff on us! And it delivered a lot of interesting hints what could await us in the future and what we might see in the season finale.
Jeez, all these “Daring D___” titles are prime candidates for getting easily confused at this point, whatever that they’re pun-tastic.
This episode features a return to the dragon lands; though its popped up occasionally in episodes like Shadow Play, this is the first time its truly been a vital backdrop since Gauntlet of Fire, 3 seasons prior. Neither that episode nor Dragon Quest are well-regarded by fans, but I actually quite like them both (in particular, I've never really understood the hate Dragon Quest sometimes receives; it's no Spike at Your Service, let alone a Princess Spike). So this episode has that to make me
So, I'm not going to talk about the huge amount of spoilers in the trailers...
---Season 9--Episode 15---
Firstly, gotta love how they conveyed passive aggressive sarcasm with just one word in their episode title.
But I’ve also seen enough of today’s setup to know what some Bronies, on this website at least, are going to be questioning. Regardless of the episode’s moral, characterization or execution:
“Talk to the wing hand!”
Don't worry, this has nothing to do with more delays or anything like that. I actually want to take a moment and talk about something I just was made aware of, and something ithat honestly means a lot to me and I'm sure as to all of you and I just want to take a moment to talk about it.
This episode is a revelation. And a blessing. I was waiting for something like this, getting an insight into Angel's mind. To see how he truly ticks.
I'll try to keep this as spoiler-free as possible...
So, the new episodes were leaked yesterday in the Netherlands, meaning there are a bunch of screenshots up if you know where to look. Realizing I'm probably going to have a breakdown when I watch them, I decided to spoil some the plot for myself and look at them. I'm now contemplating lying on the floor for the next few hours, because, wow, just wow.
TWILIGHT: "Do you reckon this screenshot is vague enough as to not give away the bombshell most already know about anyway?"
"Since this episode's selection process demands preexisting characters so the audience are satisfied, three of you have been resurrected from the writing grave. Enjoy your at-max-half-dozen lines before you're returned there!"
Right as rain, it's another Season 9 episode, and yet another episode fulfilling something fans have wanted to see for a long time at that.
So, this episode really wasn't what I was hoping for. I don't hate it, of course, and I still like what it turned out to be. Even love a certain aspect of it, more about that below.
I just want to say, whomever did this drawing is an amazing artist!
*Crows* GOOD AFTERNOON, FIMFICTION FANATICS!!!
HEY!!! THAT'S MY BIT!
