It’s time for the Shimmy-Glimmy Power Hour! Only, you know, it’s twenty-two minutes long and doesn’t have as much Tara Strong.
Speaking of hours, the Hour of Devastation prerelease was yesterday, so I threw together most of my review the night before. Time for a liveblog!
Goodness, it’s been almost two years since I last checked in on Trailblazer’s adventures. IDW putting out comics almost as quickly as I could review them will do that, especially given all of the G5 video media coming out concurrently.
We return to the cutthroat world of G5 roller derby, where Sunny’s trying her darndest to prove she’s more than just a casual skater… and has assembled one of the most ragtag teams of misfits this side of the Mighty Ducks in the process. Let’s see how the story’s developed from there.
Ah, the Wonderbolts. They don’t have a very good track record, do they? They were introduced as Equestria’s best fliers, but it seems like every season has an episode dedicated to making them look bad.
Bit of a mop-up operation this week. Given four Equestria Girls shorts and one Friends Forever comic unaccounted for, I’m going to bring both to a close in one fell swoop. As always, links are provided for the shorts. Let’s get started:
And we’re back to G4.5 and the horrible web of lies that keeps Fluttershy thinking she’s involved in something intended for a much younger age group.
Let’s not think too hard about potential connections there.
I return from my latest foray into Zendikar with… middling success. Zagras only gets you so far when the rest of your Sealed pool is largely mediocre.
In any case, I thought I’d be looking at the IDW comics this week, but it turns out that when they say “available September 2020,” they mean “available one or more seconds before October.” So, more Pony Life it is. Let’s close out the Flutterarc.
With the Daring Do trilogy complete, this week begins my look at the “Princess Collection,” a tetralogy of all the alicorns but Flurry Heart, each paired with a season. We begin with Celestia; let’s see how G. M. Berrow treats the sun queen:
We now come to the novel I put off last week. It does present a truly rare opportunity: A chance to flesh out Cadence. We got the story of her ascension in the novels, after all. Let’s see what this one offers.
Thank you for your patience. Philadelphia is hardly getting banished to the moon—heck, I didn’t even open Call Up Emrakul to Help during the Un-Known event—but it’s still kind of appropriate that a book starring Luna ended up getting delayed because I was out of town.
It’s funny. Because Treehouse rushed out the episodes over the course of about a month, I have access to all of Season 2 of Pony Life. Still going to rotate content while I have it to rotate, but I have quite the backlog for this. Let’s start digging into it.
We return once more to Maretime Bay. The shorts have been on a slow but steady upswing as the writers figure out the characters; let’s see if they can maintain that momentum.
It’s kind of funny to have a pony named Neptune when, according to the founding myth of Athens, Poseidon created the first horse in a bid for the city’s naming rights.
Hello, all, and welcome to the first of my IDW card blogs. According to the majority of those who answered my earlier input request, going through these chronologically would make the most sense, and I’m inclined to agree. Thus, we begin with the first four issues of the comic and a storyline that might just get invalidated by the Season 6 finale. Of course, that’s just speculation. Let’s proceed to what we know for sure.
I’m in an interesting situation right now. There are six remaining Tell Your Tale shorts. The next IDW issue is out. We’d have a solid month of G5 content if the next installment of Make Your Mark didn’t premiere on a Monday for some unfathomable reason. Still, that’s four out of the next five card blogs involving Maretime Bay and environs. Time to start Sunnytember, I suppose.
And we’re back to Pony Life, if increasingly behind. Well, it’s certainly one way to get a backlog. Let’s take a look at what we have to work with.
Remember how I said it felt like the zebra homeland story is missing a chapter? That’s because it is. Turns out the Free Comic Day comic was the real Season 10 premiere. However, that’s just one issue, and this is still a card blog as much of a review. So, on the cusp of one contest’s deadline, we’ll turn to another.
Bit of a schedule change-up this week. I was going to finish up the movie prequels, but it is two days before Christmas, and there are some animated shorts to cover as well. Capper and Tempest can wait for a week; time for some holiday cheer.
As the title implies, we're closing out the overview of Minty Root’s work with a pair of music videos and an expanded Anthology short.
Happy Halloween! We’re skipping ahead a bit on Rainbow Dash Presents given the holiday. Somewhere Only We Know is a disquieting story at times, but not really scary. Besides, what’s Nightmare Night without Luna?
15.ai is both a triumph of machine learning and a power too great for mortal men. With just a few minutes of sampled audio, it can produce fairly convincing sentences in that voice. And part of its training data was Friendship is Magic.
Yes, with Rainbow Dash Presents exhausted, we turn to a much more recent fan episode, one voiced synthetically. Let’s see how it turns out.
