I'm back with another episode review. This time, we're taking a look at Discordant Harmony with some of that FlutterCord awesomeness. Anywho, as usual, there are some spoilers to be had, so check after the break for the details!
Alternate alternate title: "The Blunder Down Under".
It's a shame "Blame Australia" doesn't have the same cadence as "Blame Canada" because goddammit fuck. I mean, it's nice that we can get into the hiatus after actually having watched half the season instead of 11/26ths of it, but aw who am I kidding, I haven't seen ponies in weeks and I've been loving it. <.<
Well, here we are... August and this is only my fifth blog post for the year. But I just finished watching today's episodes and I wanted to share my thoughts:
Discord invites Fluttershy to his realm for tea, but he worries she won't be comfortable there and begins to change it, and himself, with disastrous results.
Discordant Harmony Well, well, well. Another good Discord related episode? Splendid! Seriously, though, I really liked this episode. The visuals are creative and fun, like the singing ginseng tea, a flying tea pot, a sneezing pinata, and glowing, flying napkins. I also liked the message of the episode as well. Not much to say other than, it was splendid 8/10 Very Good
Well, the show's back, how 'bout that? :O I finally get to change my avatar! You can read below to find out why, if it's not obvious. :3
Unlike previous Pipe Land blogs, this one also includes the three latest EQG shorts! (Spoilers: they're better than the first four.) You can crtl-f "Discordant" if you don't wanna scroll through or read them, but then I will be a sad pinata. :C
I just wanted to throw something out there, that while it doesn't seem like it, phones most likely exist in Equestria. Now, I'm not talking about the iPhones that Discord and his clone's had in "Discordant Harmony", any technologies that Discord creates, probably shouldn't be considered canon. I'm talking about in "It's Not the Mane Thing About You", where Rarity says she has to call Photo Finish and cancel her photo shoot. And 'calling someone up' would be pretty difficult to do on the
I notice these three episodes deal with a lot of preferences- whether it goes unnoticed, stubbornly clinging to tradition, or just guessing what someone likes over your own comfort. What do you think? Hear are my thoughts:
Oh, no, an episode with Discord (In my view, the single most pathetic character in the entire franchise)
Oh well...
Well, I do approve of the lesson; It's important o be true to yourself, something I keep trying to tell people but the people still rudely scoff at me for it.
But Fluttershy seems to be acting teency bit out of character (She's not acting all meek and timid) but at least she gets the idea that EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT
I know I said I wouldn’t review these episodes until they aired in the States, but that was before I learned that Discovery Family plans on reopening the season with another double feature on the fifth. I really don’t like doing multiple episodes per blog. Doing so dilutes the attention either gets and keeps me from exploring their deeper design potential. For those of you still gamely avoiding spoilers (and best of luck to you,) I’ll say no more here and link back to this blog next week.
Thank you, Australia, for bringing me this! I was so sad Canada stopped their early releases to tease me with this. But now it is here! A double this time due to minimal thoughts. I love Discord's development, and it's fruity time it seems? Let's check it all out.
