Written by M.A. Larson
Directed by Jayson Thiessen, Jim Miller

 

Story- Cranky Doodle Donkey and Matilda are scheduled to be married tomorrow, but realize the invitations that were sent out across Equestria have it set for today due to Muffins' printing error. The two race to reschedule the event for the day, while at the same time Twilight Sparkle and her friends fight off a bugbear attacking Ponyville. During this, the episode highlights various other residents of Ponyville as they prepare for the wedding, such as Doctor Hooves, DJ Pon-3, Octavia, Lyra, Bon Bon, and Stephen Magnet. Eventually, despite the tribulations, the wedding goes off on time and the bugbear is defeated, with Mayor Mare, officiating the wedding, commenting on how Ponyville is filled with many varied and interesting characters with their own stories.

 

This plot had alot of positives but... there were a few faults in the glourious master-peice, which we will get to in a moment...

 

Animation & Sound- The animation came standard as with any episode but.. the sound (the scene were Vinyl and Octavia play with there musical instruments) was really refreshing, I mean classical and dubstep, we cant spoil ourselves but that small segment they played is a 'little' catchy...

 

The Good- This episode heavily features background and minor characters that were popularized by the show's fandom, referencing several fan-based interpretations of them.

 

Doctor Hooves & Derpy - The King of Depravity liked there two interactions between each other, Doc was very sciencey and inspiration on his 'ideals' towards science, and that awesome accent. Tabitha St Germain done an amazing voice job as Muffins aka Derpy, as well as that Derpy was adorable and fun as she is meant to be...

 

Steven Magnet - Me personally think that Steve's apperance was very welcoming but.. he was really harsh to Matilda about the wedding being 'important'

 

Lyra and Bon Bon - Now... I wasnt sure about this at first but then there relationship turned out better than I hoped, Lyra is who I expected here to be, but I was totally suprised by the fact Bon Bon (Sweetie Drops) worked for the moster hunting NSA in Canterlot, but the way Lyra reacted afetr hearing this, hilarous.

 

The Royals - So.. as we all know Celestia is presented to be this 'perfect' goddess, well this episodee felt otherwise making Celestia for I at least far likable, and the Cadence and Shining Armour crying scene was hilarous, but in all seriousness that argument between Celestia and Luna was a fun and desperately needed in my opinion.

 

Also Gummy's narration of cutie marks was my favourite moment... ever.

 

Also I am aware of the fan service but it was ok by my standards....

 

The Bad- The Big Lebowski moment felt un needed and I personally didnt like the guys... although it was a fun refrence to the movie though.

 

Deus Ex Machina- Other than this 'nitpick' we are nearly done here, so as Viynl and Octavia were playing the some how manged to pick up everyone to the wedding which I just think is a bit lazy...

 

Bee- Bear- Do I need to say more, were in all of the realm did that come from? I mean they give us no indication of were it came from? I mean seriously...

 

Facts- The inside of Doctor Hooves' house was designed by Phil Caesar and Krista Huot.The music that played in DJ Pon-3's headphones was arranged from DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What".The bugbear was designed by Kora Kosicka. DJ Pon-3 and Octavia Melody's house was designed by Rebecca Dart and Phil Caesar.

 

I give this episode a 10/10, easily one of my new favourite epsidoe next to Lesson Zero... Thanks for reading!

Your review is a good run-through of the episode.

I didn't vote because I feel that the poll questions are a false dichotomy.

A nice review and summarization of the episode you've made, Sunset Master. Thank you so much for your thoughts. As for the middle ground, I feel a 'good but not great option' suffice as well.

There should be a middle ground between "it was heaven" and "meh."

thanks for the feedback guys!
