Previous Highlight: Is That Keyframe?
In which son_of_heaven176 plays his first multiplayer Magic game, and loses despite not having taken a single point of damage.
Saturday, July 28, 2018: Day 2 of BronyCon
This week we usher in the new year by returning to one of the more controversial official stories of the last one. Let’s see just how much of the Cosmos arc is worth the foofaraw.
This week, we return to the main comics for a post-Cosmos breather.
The following may be a preview of the next chapter of Oversaturation. I haven't decided whether or not to keep it in.
This week, we return to the eco-adventures of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Let’s hope the message here isn’t so heavy handed that Whoopi Goldberg comes in with a crystalline computer to support these three Planeteers.
When I first watched this episode, as the credits ran, I found myself confused. It took me a moment to figure out why: I didn't like it. It's a plot that hinges on a lack of communication, Twilight making unfounded assumptions about someone she's known for his entire life, and tearing down established characters to make the new guy look good.
Okay, back to this one now that the next issue has come out. Hopefully I can avoid this sort of thing in the future… though given that this turned out to be a five-part storyline once all was said and done, I can’t guarantee that. I’d say I wish I could, but, well…
This week, we have an untitled exploration of metafiction. Seriously, even the FiM wiki doesn’t have a title for these issues, so a placeholder it is. Maybe the bookworm ate it. Appropriate for Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s dig in to the rest before the antagonist does.
So, someone put every Magic card in existence into a neural network and told it to make more. You can see the initial output and links to numerous articles on the subject here, in the original forum post. For the latest creations, check out this Twitter. Some of them are pretty good.
The international diplomacy counterpart to last week’s pan-federation summit, by which I mean another diplomatic episode written by a Johnny Test alumnus who’s never written pony before. Hoo boy…
I wonder if this episode is would’ve been called “Dragon Warrior” if it had been made before 2005…
While the “Slice of Life” previews are only building in their ridiculous glory, the episode itself still won’t air for another week. As such, and as per your requests, I’m looking at one of the more ridiculous moments of the past, Operation: Chaos Butterfly. (Or, as it’s known outside of Equestrian black ops, Fluttershy starting Discord on the path of redemption.)
I’m not going to say anything above the fold. This one’s pretty much a spoiler minefield.
I'm a huge fan of FanOfMostEverything. Not only does he write delightful stories and insightful blog posts on every episode and movie and many more things besides, but he also creates lots and lots of custom Magic: the Gathering cards, in his "Friendship Is Card Games" blog series.
(deep breath)
All right, let’s get this out of the way: Yes, this storyline, especially the first issue, revolves around an election between a female career politician and a male entrepreneur entering the political arena for the first time. Please leave any other real life references in the comments to a civil minimum.
With that out of the way, let’s actually look at this thing.
A bit of background: Last year, Wizards put out a six-card Horse cycle (that is, one horse card in every color, along with a colorless artifact.) Naturally, I came up with silly little flashfics to go along with each.
This year, instead of Mares, we got Cavaliers. Naturally, I’m going to apply the same principles.
Kind of a shame they couldn’t fit in a reference to the Temple of Doom in that title. Then they’d have every Indiana Jones movie. (Yes, every Indiana Jones movie.)
That said, a moment of silence in recognition of the Great Headcanon Massacre of 2015.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
This blog is rated S for Self-Indulgent. There is technically nonzero but exceedingly minimal pony content; it’s card games all the way down.
I’m sure you’ve all been inundated with opinions by this point, but I keep to a schedule. In any case, it is at last time for M. A. Larson’s bizarre thank you to us for helping make this the longest running twenty-two-minute toy commercial in television history.
