I’m not going to say anything above the fold. This one’s pretty much a spoiler minefield.
(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?
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.
Oh boy. This one. No episode can compare when it comes giving me mixed feelings. I won’t air the longer years-old grievances unless someone actually wants to hear them, but in my book, this is the iffiest finale. Let’s take a closer look.
This week, it’s Pink Burton’s The Christmas Before Nightmare Night.
One year ago today, I decided to share the cards I made of the Season 4 premiere. As such, this seems like the perfect time to provide a quick and easy way to access everything that's resulted since. The following is a hyperlinked rundown of every Friendship is Card Games blog, both those written and those yet to come. If you don't see something here, either I haven't gotten to it yet, or I've been a bit lazy in updating this particular blog. Feel free to yell at me about that if it isn't a
This week, Applejack tries to run a convention, and manages to run it into her house.
I’ve noticed an interesting pattern. My least favorite episodes of each season alternate between ones that feature Spike and ones featuring Rainbow Dash.
Wow. This was a doozy. Let’s throw up the page break to minimize spoilers beyond that.
Less than twenty-four hours left in the Imposing Sovereigns contest. If your story is still in the submission queue by the time midnight rolls around, send me a PM or post a link on the contest blog.
Moving on to this week’s comic, this one presents an interesting situation: I’m actually not too familiar with this storyline beyond a certain point. More genuine first impressions than usual incoming.
This week is all about leaders, underlings, and two very different management styles. Let's compare and contrast.
This week, we’re looking at the cheesiest fruit you’ve ever tasted. Let’s see if this comic-form B-movie gets an A or an F.
Welcome to the sixth interseasonal hiatus, ladies and gentlemen. For those of you joining me since the second half of Season 6, I’ve long since run through the backlog of past pony episodes (easily findable through the archive here,) so I’m making my way through the comics. This week, it’s side comics, with Rainbow Dash’s micro-series issue and the CMC/Discord team-up. Let’s take a look.
We’re sticking with the side stories for a bit to bring things to some semblance of parity. As such, this week, we have Rarity on a commune and a team-up between two of the most important people in Twilight Sparkle’s life.
Two more weeks of side comics before we cut back to the main storyline. Right now, we have an art competition and a haunting to look into.
We may have run out of horse-ape specials to mitigate the intraseasonal hiatus, but there’s no rest for the cardy. After all, I still have a whole lot of comics to get through, and this week, we’re resuming the IDW rundown with a bang. Or possibly a prolonged whimper; I only know the broad strokes of this storyline. Let’s see which is the more apt description.
If you’re looking for “Father Knows Beast,” it should be just under this one in your feed. If you’d like to see an example of disunited nations even worse than “School Daze” and far, far funnier, read on.
