I see what you mean, forcing a friendship lesson can be problematic. It's why I think it may have been an idea this episode decided to poke fun of the idea of forcing friendship lessons as it was exactly what Twilight did throughout the episode when she couldn't come up with a report so she tried to make one up instead by deliberately causing problems, which the episode admonished her for it for all the crap she caused.

Providing a written paragraph report on a certain topic and what you learned is not very much to do, especially for a bookworm like Twilight. I don't consider it unrealistic as in college, such assignments are expected to be done such give a brief on any news subject each time you show up for class. Twilight is still Celestia's student at that point so it makes sense for her to try to complete an assignment on an expected date lest she earn a displeased glance for her lack of initiative. Considering the nature of the show and the group's dynamic in general, friendship would have to be an important thing for them lest the tree of harmony not view them worthy of it's intention. Granted, there were a few times where I did felt the extension of friendship was unnecessary so I'll agree it is not perfect, but I don't view it bad either and don't see a need for tremendous changes to the show's core formula.

Terrans got the spaceships and size, but they would have to deal with the far greater hax the allies have in time travel and weather control. Still if the allies aren't given prep time, they lose via terraton nukes from orbiting battlecruisers.

Thank you, now onto the timetable. Since when is deciding to introduce a definite timetable for the letters a bad thing? We know there is a case for that she has time for each letter to be delivered and the quote implies it as such. Putting in a weekly timetable for Twilight to deliver is nothing terrible as we already have knowledge before hand that Twilight has a timetable to deal with, all Lesson Zero did was give us a clear answer for how long it is.

Okay, thank you Prymestriker. To begin: I disagree with the notion there is no predetermined deadline as Celestia said this from Swarm of the Century: Princess Celestia: Before I have to go, would you care to give me your latest report on the "magic of friendship" in person? Twilight Sparkle: My... report? Princess Celestia: Haven't you learned anything about friendship? It implies to me that Celestia does expect Twilight to deliver a friendship report at a predetermined time or otherwise she wouldn't have asked if she had a friendship report ready to be delivered in person or letter. I'll explain why I view Lesson Zero so favorably in that: 1. It was the first non two parter that no longer held the educational label that season 1 had. The many insane feats like Rainbow Dash destroying a barn in a glorious nuclear explosion, Flutershy seemingly snapping a bear's neck, and Twilight blowing up a ball via telefrag was all delibrately done to show off of how far Meghan can push the new Y rating label. It was essentially the series growing up and stretching it's new longer limbs after what it had to be restricted to in season 1. Many future slice of life episodes followed suit after. 2. It allowed the series to not only no longer be held by giving a tacked on friendship lesson each episode, but it also no longer required Twilight to be forcibly involved in every episode. Those two I mentioned were huge for the series as now future episodes don't have to be concerned for what friendship lesson or what role Twilight has to have in whatever episodes that season 1 had to be put under. Pair those two with giving one of Twilight's best characterized episodes in the series and you have a great episode in my eyes

Somebody needs to post that just to troll screwattack.

Ah, than her time hax won't work with her summons. Interesting to see how they do this.

Hey Prymestryker, I would like to ask if I can offer a rebuttal to the points you made in this review please. I did enjoyed some of stuff in this review, but I feel there are points I wish to point out.

Perhaps, but doesn't bayonetta has some time hax to counter speed blitzing? Also I believe her speed is comparable if not superior to Dante's.

It saddens me because I like fantasy for the fact you had normal holy roman empire soldiers fighting a losing battle against the big armored knights of chaos. It made the whole struggle more appealing and desperate as they didn't had some big armored knight mary sues coming to dave the day, but rather whatever means the normal human in that setting is capable of. Still, the ground marines at least do make good coversion tools. I agree.

I've read that off from ld4wiki but thank you and I'm happy to hear it getting approved for tournaments. I despise seeing those stormcast enternals entering fantasy setting. They're nothing but ground marines.

Still not happy what they did to warhammer fantasy, but I' am pleased at how they're promoting other stuff about wh 40k. I have a pre order of battle fleet gothic armada for PC.

Happy to see you celebrate this special occasion, Frost Diamond. Let it lead to a happy life for you.

They have a sneak peak of the next deathbattle up and it is:
