Once again, it’s time for another episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and since I’ve reviewed every episode thus far, I figure I’m required by law to review this one.
It’s a crucial time for the Apple Family, as they begin the Zap Apple harvest. Zap Apple trees are magic, they grow very quickly, and must be harvested even faster. So everyone needs to be well prepared. The timetable is tight, and there is no margin for error. Continue reading
It’s Christmas Hearth’s Warming Eve this week on My Little Pony, when our heroes tell the story of the founding of Equestria. It’s a crucial moment in their history, and I for one am glad we heard it. It’s good to know that the writers thought of these things, I mean, imagine if they didn’t. To establish a universe and not have any clue regarding its history or mythology!? You’d have to be a complete hack to even try something like that…Abrams! Continue reading
I’m loving the new season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It has been a great source of comedy and catharsis. By that I mean the continual subversion of fan-created ideas. I love it when people are taken down a peg, myself included.
This week, we discover the details of the dragon aging process. Specifically that their physical age is directly proportional to their wealth, and the older they get, the greedier they get. It’s quite a vicious cycle, which I assume peaks at a certain point. So this means all those fan writers who portrayed Spike in the future as a big-ass dragon, got it wrong. Continue reading
I recently had a revelation about My Little Pony. That while the show is excellent, and I will always continue to watch it, it has one of the most annoying fan communities in the world. I don’t know why I associate with them, I really need to stop it.
Okay, maybe I’m being a bit harsh, that comment is mostly inspired by a comment I heard regarding one of my favourite games of all time: “Portal is the only game I’ve been unable to fault in…[but] In the time since then and the release of Portal 2, you’ll be pleased to hear that I eventually did come up with a criticism for Portal 1: it’s got the worst fucking fans in the world. Nothing ruins a good thing quite like knowing you share your opinions with mindless little tits who bray like mules if you so much as mention the word ‘cake,’ and the good thing in question can never be the same again. This is technically known as the ‘Knights Who Say ‘Ni’ Effect.'”
I’m getting the same feeling with regards to My Little Pony. How so? Continue reading
Who doesn’t love superheroes!? Well, apparently, Rainbow Dash. Yes, it’s another pony-sode, and it’s all about Rainbow Dash…again…for the second week in a row. I’m not saying I have anything against Rainbow, I’m just saying, spread those episodes out a bit. Continue reading
Owning a pet is a big responsibility, you have to feed it; give it water; and clean up after it when it pisses, shits, and vomits on your rug, or laundry pile. So why have one? Because they are also a great source of joy. Short of having a kid, you can’t get that kind of love elsewhere, and having a friend who is okay with listening to the bullshit you rant about can be really cathartic. Even though they don’t understand a word you say. Also…kitty’s fur is so soft. Purrr.
Anyway, this week on My Little Pony, Rainbow learns the value of having a pet, the best friend you will ever have, by getting one. Continue reading
Ah, youth! Always trying to act older than they are. I remember doing that when I was young. It might be part of the reason I hate coffee…don’t ask.
Of course this leads to some kids biting off more than they could chew. Know any teenage parents out there? It’s called condoms people!!! How about someones my-parents-are-out-of-town party? Alcohol, weed and vomiting are the order of the day at those things. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but please people, learn to pace yourselves.
So this week on My Little Pony, Apple Bloom learns you shouldn’t try to rush growing up! Or, at least, she learns she shouldn’t take a magic potion for that purpose. I believe there was an episode of Star Trek of a similar nature. Continue reading
Another fortnight, another pony episode. I find it funny that I have so much to write about this. It might have something to do with the fact that I’m actively writing a My Little Pony FanFiction, and I’m following so many My Little Pony fanartists on DeviantArt. So I constantly have ponies on the brain.
Before I begin to talk about this week’s episode, I’d like to talk about one of my favourite background characters. She’s a mint green unicorn who likes cake, and hates it when a bug eats her cake.
