PRESENTS!

 

And what a better present is there than to live in the present, aside from living in the past or dying?

Reviewing a Fluttershy episode!

 

Now, back in the day, this episode was the Black Friday episode of MLP. You didn't get any discounts, but you did get a pack of smokes. No, no, not those kind of smokes, these kind of smokes:

 

 

Oh, goodness! Talk about your Black Friday!

 

(LOL MOAR LAUGH TRACKS)

 

Now that I've enticed your attention, let's see if I can keep it for 45 more seconds as we embark on our review of "Dragonshy." This a spoilers review, so if you haven't seen this episode, you have time to turn around and click away right now as we speak.

That was the nicest way I've warned anyone about impending spoilers on this blog.....

No, no, no, stop it, we can't have that, even if it is the holiday season. Quick, quote one of my nastiest spoiler warnings from a previous review!

This is a spoilers review. So, basically, if you haven't seen this episode(s) yet, fuck off.

Go ahead, fuck off now...

 

That'll do!

 

So, we open this episode with the smoke I've previously displayed, emanating from a mountaintop that's not a volcano. Fluttershy, upon being the first to see this, tries to warn the townsfolk. However, the town doesn't have time for Fluttershy's shit and decide to ignore her and choke to death. Luckily, the great and powerful Twilight Sparkle is there to warn the town officially because she's loud. She finds that the smokes coming from a hibernating dragon, and designates a plan that involves climbing to the top of the mountain and telling the dragon to.......well........fuck off.

 

Autobots, Starscream is up to his old tricks again. Transform, and roll out!

 

Of course, Fluttershy is a very important player in this plan. Her expertise would help get the dragon to kindly move out of the cave on the mountain to cease suffocating Ponyville. However, as we all know, Fluttershy is shy, and as such she is scared shitless about this mission. This provides a wacky challenge for our heroes to face as they embark on their quest to save Ponyville from lung cancer!

 

Aw, hell naw, ain't no draggn eatin' me! I is gaw'n' prepared! Draggins can't bite throo fl0aties 'n'a' halmett!

 

Fluttershy tried to back out at the last minute, but Twilight Sparkle bitch-slapped her. And off they went to the mountaintops! There, they faced many a challenge! Many a challenge indeed, such as a dragon's roar! Holy smokes, that's terrifying! It makes me want to quit the mission altogether. But our brave heroes made it past that obstacle and moved on to a new major roadblock: climbing the mountain! It took so long for them (Fluttershy) to overcome this that Pinkie Pie beat Rarity at 35 consecutive games of tic-tac-toe!

 

"Sheesh, Rarity! You suck at this!" "I could...you know...suck something else if you wanted..."

 

But at long last, they climbed (part of) the mighty mountain and proceeded to their next challenge: Jumping over a HUGE canyon!!!

 

NO! DON'T DO IT FLUTTERSHY! You're going to die!

 

NO!

 

DON'T

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Then a real challenge is presented. An avalanche occurs and the ponies have to take a different route than they'd originally planned. Also, their lives were endangered, but who cares about that? I mean, with as much time it's taking for Fluttershy to complete simple tasks, everyone in Ponyville could need an electronic larynx at this point. At last, the ponies arrive at the cave and attempt to awaken the dragon. Fluttershy is too scared to go in as she finally admits, because, you know, nobody else could figure that out (except for Rainbow, she's for once smart here), and the others find other means of getting rid of the dragon. After failed attempts from Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash does the logical thing...

 

Remember how I said Rainbow was smart? Well...

 

This obviously pisses the dragon right the fuck off, and it starts to rampage and ravage the other five ponies. When her friends are in danger, it's now up to Fluttershy to tell that dragon who's boss. And she does. She tells him right off. She says, "How dare you! Listen here, mister! I'm just about done with your bullshit, okay? You may have sharp teeth, but that doesn't mean I can't kick your scaly little ass! Screw with my friends one more time and I'll go full apeshit on you. You got that?" After the dragon whines about Rainbow kicking him, Fluttershy says "I'm very sorry for that, but I'm 'bout ready to do you up ten times worse if y'all don't get the FUCK off this mountain!"

 

That face could make Hitler crumble to his knees.

 

And so the dragon leaves, only 10 ponies in the village got lung cancer, and the day was saved thanks to Fluttershy's immense bravery! And that was "Dragonshy."

 

...

 

Well, that was a relief from "Boast Busters."

 

I've got to say, that one was pretty good. Fluttershy shows that she will put aside her fears and her worries for the sake of her friends and for the good of the town. Not a bad premise and not a bad story, making for not a bad episode. There's not much else to say other than, well done. I wouldn't pick this as one of my favorite episodes 'nor as one I'd try to avoid. It's just a good episode. Overall, I'll give "Dragonshy" an 8/10. Odd that I can't go any deeper into the episode, but that's probably because it's a pretty straightforward story, so trying to pick it a part is a very difficult process unless you praise this episode as your lord and savior. Very well, then, I did like it nonetheless.

 

The holiday seasons are a time of giving, even though you could really do this at any point in the year if you wanted to. And in the spirit of the season of giving, I notice that up to this point, I haven't given a 10/10 to any episode I've reviewed on this blog. Hopefully, that will soon change. What's the next episode?

 

 

Hmmmph.

 

Well, I suppose I'll be eagerly counting the days 'till Friday.
