I finished reading the final issue of IDW's MLPFIM comic series and yeah the whole thing felt rushed. Though, I don't think you could blame the comic team for that. From what I understand, Season 10 was supposed to be essentially two years of comics, which got cut back drastically while they were being made because of the pandemic and likely because Hasbro wanted to have G5 related comics as soon as possible. But you know what, I still liked it regardless of its flaws. What I liked: more backstory for Zecora, the Pinkie Cheese ship, Capper's arc from the movie prequel comic getting a conclusion, I prefer the designs used for the Diamond Dogs in season 10 (wasn't a fan of the diamond dog design used in the show) and the diamond dog royal sisters are adorable and must be protected and Captain Celaeno's arc. What I didn't care for: not enough Student Six (that forgotten pony tribe arc from their mini-series went nowhere), Shining Armor being jobbed again and more Trees of Harmony coming out of nowhere and how rushed it felt (though that last part is mostly due to the plan two year run being cut short). And the Knights of Harmony feels pretty hit and miss but again, that could be because of the original plan being cut short. Overall, I still liked most of Season 10 and really glad I've read the IDW run as a whole even with its flaws. But we still have one final comic before we move on to G5, the Generations mini-series, which might end up a proper finale to the entire G4 comic line and G4 as a whole.

It's certainly a better finale than Star Vs The Forces OF Evil's finale, then again that finale happened because they were rushed when Disney told them there will be no 4th season.

That being said, I would have preferred if Gallus became the new leader of Griffinstone, though I suppose he could still become one since Shining Armor is co-ruler of the Crystal Empire.

The first few verses of the song sums up many people in the fandom myself included, when we first heard of this new iteration of My Little Pony many of us weren't exactly crazy about until we actually gave it a try and that final part of the song that sounded like the intro gave me goosebumps, the song is one of the best songs in the franchise in my opinion. I'm going to miss this show especially, it seems that shows made between the mid 2000's and the 2010s are ending as reach 2020, I haven't felt this way since Justice League Unlimited ended the DCAU or some the endings of several anime titles I watched in the late 90s. The final episode left us with some concepts of new adventures before the events of the final episode, which we might see in IDW's MLPFIM Season 10.

I would have liked if G5 was set in the same timeline of G4 but as long as the creative team is as passionate and put as much effort on G5 as the G4 creative team did, I'm happy either way,

I really enjoyed this episode and Gabby is still adorable.
