My thoughts on The Scare Master (S05E21) (SPOILERS)
I am kinda dissapointed that from all the episodes this was leaked. Now i won't have a proper Halloween Episode on that day. Oh well...
Scare Master is about Fluttershy on Nightmare Night, which we all know since Season 2, she is scared of it with a passion. At first, you could mistake it for another "Fluttershy needs to overcome her fears" episode. But it's actually about something different.
She needs to go out to get Angel some carrots and at first, she is kinda frightend, but the fact that she is going out in the first place, is a sign that she overcame her fears from last Nightmare Night. After getting scared by some of the ponies, she approaches Twilights castle and i swear to god, that scene reminds me of Beauty and the Beast, where Belles father Maurice is entering the castle of the beast.
Fluttershy greets her friends, who where telling each other Ghost stories and she asked them if she maybe can celebrate with them.
Now before i go any further, i want to say that Rainbow Dash was my biggest issue with the Episode. Instead of encouraging her friend, she just laughs at her and is constantly annoyed by her. It kinda reminds me of Dragonshy. How are they friends again?
Anyway, after Twilight and the others told Rainbow to shut up, they went to Raritys botique to get themselves some costumes.
Rarity is a mermaid, Applejack is the Lion from Wizard of Oz, Rainbow Dash is an Astronaut (space canon,) And Twilight is...Peter Gabriel.
Kidding, she is a Centurion. Don't know what Pinkie is supposed to be though and Fluttershy is just blank.
Fluttershy tries to participate in certain Nightmare Night activities, but even with the encouragement of her friends, she just can't get in the mood for it, until Twilight suggests that "What about you do the scares?"
They all get invited to Fluttershy to a "Scare Tea party" (which actually sounds scarier for me, then you might think. XD) Fluttershy fails though, as she thinks upsetting someone is the most scary thing for her. Flutters decides that Nightmare Night isn't for her and so her friends leave her, dissapointed.
Without Flutters, they went to the hay Labirynth, which was set up by Granny Smith and Big Mac (who is dressed as a mummy.) They have a good time there, getting scared by different things, until they fall down a hole. They find a Granny Smith skeleton, a giant green monster and when they got out they find...Flutterbat?
At that point, they where all shaking to the bone and Fluttershy, who was just dressed as Flutterbat, felt very guilty about it, while the others applauded her for her efforts. Fluttershy then said that she has only done it so she wouldn't upset her friends and that Nightmare Night isn't for her, because she dosen't like to see her friends in danger, even if they are not, so she stays away for Nightmare Night. We get warm grouphug and that's that.
Although Rainbow annoyed me a bit, i have to say that this a fantastic episode. All Mane 6 members interacted well together and none of them felt out of place. The moral was nice, which is about understanding that your friends are not always going to like the same things as you do.
Too bad none of the ponies in the background had a Lamia outfit.
Either way, i give this episode a thumbs up and certainly belongs on the great tier list of episodes.
