  1. That last remark has more truth to it than you know. I've been in crowds before and seen people turn on a dime if a speaker they idolize does a 180. It's weird and more than a little unnerving. Having said that, I doubt that's what the writers were doing in the episode. There's a lot of things in the show that are really just super simple because of the target audience (though the target audience may be in question at this point).
  2. Spike seems to be very attune to the lessons of friendship and doesn't need someone else to tell him if he's going in a bad direction. That's something I really like about him and the way he's developed. :idea: And yeah, I'd be creeped out too. Also, Spike might have been referring to that fever dream Discord put them through with the fedora, dancing, and milk shakes. I know there are people like that IRL but it's like a different planet.
  3. I agree about Spike's choice of hero type. I don't know what the creators were thinking about Shmarity. It doesn't make any sense. Spike doesn't even like anypony with a similar name. Hopefully Spike will never use... . We're still having to recover after sweet innocent Fluttershy used such a filthy word. :awuh:
  4. I get what your saying and pretty much agree. With Discord, it's really hard to tell what he likes and what he pretends to. I thought right from the start of the game that Discord would really love to make the game realish with his magic (minus the real danger/pain part). We do know he really loves his playful magic and that, I think, is what he wanted to be doing most. Angel Bunny would be an evil necromancer enemy. Just saying. :awuh:
  5. That was an AMAZING episode. I was worried it was going to be bad and then I found I was have a blast not even 5 minutes in. Want to know how to do a "boy's night" episode? This. The ending with RD and Pinkie just made it all the more epic! Well that's half the fun. Finding inventive ways for the character to meet an untimely demise. LOL I laughed pretty good at multiple points too, though. :idea: Discord would enjoy being Sheogorath, I think.
  6. Nervous rainbow shy. No, not that RainbowShy.
  7. Watching the latest episode of MLP on livestream and then chatting about it on the forum while eating a rainbow-sprinkled apple pastry and sipping chocolate milk. Life? Nailed it.
  8. *brohoof of awesomeness* /) I have to agree about this being the Spike we want to see. We knew he had been having character development all along and it was frustrating to see episodes with him forget this. Not anymore though. And I also loved Spikes song sooo much. Still makes me cry even after seeing it several times.
  9. Curious point. Personally, I couldn't quite gauge what age he was supposed to be. I'm assuming from the size relative to others that he might be a teen as a pony? We have no idea about changeling lifespans though. The birthing scene could have been 1000 years ago for all we know. :awuh: To be fair, there are a ton of episodes that we'd prefer to see as two parters. I guess you could say we just want more.
  10. Well if the votes are anything to go by then there is some consensus on the epic quality of this episode. Also, Spike needs to be Equestria's official ambassador permanently. Mad dragon skills. You know, I was kind of thinking that when we first were introduced to Thorax. Although I like the idea of befriending a changeling, I knew it was the old "i'm not like them" cliche. The problem with this is that it does not address the greater issue of interspecies conflict. A real solution to the changeling "problem" would be finding a way that all changelings can get what they need in harmony with the inhabitants of Equestria. Lone wolf defectors have no effect on this. We can hope that Thorax may go back and have some effect with the rest of his changelings, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it. Maybe the real issue is that there are still too many people who don't want there to be any reconciliation or peace. As long as people want nonredeemable villains and war then that is what they very well may get. :/
  11. Thank you for your response! I will look forward to the day you release that list. I know what it's like to love a lot of different genres. :idea: When it comes to music, for example, many people have a hard time knowing what I like because I love almost all music genres for their own reasons all the way down to the raw music of outdoor nature itself. Having a wide base of interest can be very advantageous for those in fields of art.
  12. I know right? E:D I love Spike but too many of his episodes I don't think are very good. We've been getting awesome ones lately and this one even gets honors for one of the best of the series overall. One of the great things about Spike that we got to see here was that he didn't need anyone else to tell him what he should do. He knew he was lacking and decided to fix it all on his own. He risked everything for what he felt was right. Now that's character!
  13. I was always interested in how that all worked out. Amazing episode, as many others have indicated! One of my favorite of the series and your own work in it I thought was very well done. That mimic scene with the two Spike's was hilarious. Especially when Thorax Spike slipped. My question has to do with what you responded with earlier. Since the storyboards go back and may get tweaked, is there ever a time when changes go back even further to character designs or the writer because something just doesn't work with storyboards? Also, you said you sometimes draw on some other movies or series for inspiration. Is there any movies, games, series, etc that have really influenced your work overall?
  14. I'm sooooo happy with this episode. So much goodness in it~ <3 For one thing: changelings! Haven't had a serious changeling since S2's ender. The cameo doesn't really count. As a fan since S2, I was super happy! And it was basically a befreind a changeling episode too. I wrote a changeling reformation story over 4 years ago and to see it happen in the show made me cry...seriosuly I'm still watery right now. TT_TT *tears of joy* Also, Spike's own song! It was a moving one too. Reminds me of Diamond Tiara's in that respect. I think this will go down as one of Spike's all time best episodes. He showed character that was actually better than all the others. And it wasn't some impossibly perfect character either because he had to work up to it. :idea: So very excited right now.
  15. Oooooh, I like! I had forgotten about the Rainbows. Now I want them back! E:3
  16. Ya know....must have been pegasi magic in those cookies or something because actually dyeing with a rainbow would be super hard otherwise. LOL! Well, have a brohoof. You're of the straightforward honest sort.
  17. Tia now has a scroll swimming pool. It sounds great until you think of the papercuts. Yeah, I'd say it was pretty fun. Scary...but fun. View on Derpibooru - Original source
  18. There are some criticisms of Dashie's friends reverse pranking her instead of trying to talk to her directly about it but those are bogus. They DID try talking to her directly and she ignored them and flew off. I think you're right and Dashie did have to go through this. She obviously wasn't going to listen or learn until she was in the position that she had put others in. It's not like she was hurt as bad as they were either. She got really scared but the others experienced actual pain. Imagine actually biting into a brick or getting sprayed by a skunk. So anyway, agreed about experiencing it for herself. ....and give us some Glim Glam! <3 View on Derpibooru (Original source unknown at time of posting)
  19. My opinion for today: 4/5. I really enjoyed the episode even though I don't like scary things because I enjoyed the lesson. I've been on the receiving end more than once of a non-fun prank. I think it's a very needed lesson. Rated down one point just because I thought the dark seriousness of the zomponies might have been a little too much. If I wasn't older I might have gotten...disturbed. That was awful...and yet I'm smiling. I do so enjoy that. It's a nice little detail ya know?
  20. I get what ya mean. I'm not usually into watching sneak peeks because of that but I'm too absorbed in it already!
  21. I'm super hyped too~! I'm a big fan of the previous three movies. I've seen the trailer and sneak peeks. This might be the highlight of 2016! I might be gearing up for writing new fimfiction.

      LOL! Well enjoy, Moony~! And goodnight. *hugs goodnight* E:D

  22. ...those puns....you're really on track. <3 That's a good point. It might make sense for them to get carried away if they had such strong memories of their own past participation. And it seemed like they were jumping on the opportunity because they all wanted to relive it. As for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, yes. I really want that episode.
  23. Agreed, agreed, agreed...are we the same person? Scoots got a Rainbow Ride™ up to Dashie's cloud cottage. *gives you Scootaloo's Chicken Phoenix Kart* It was 8:30am for me so no issue but I HAVE stayed up to 5-6am for a pony mare-a-thon livestream before. I wouldn't recommend it though. There's a big chance you'll end up making...ugh...friends. :awuh:
