S05:E01+02 - The Cutie Map

[Princess Lona 382]

I'm going to give it a chance and watch to the end of course, but honestly, I'm not liking this episode. It's pushing a really obvious ideology and it's coming off as preachy. Or maybe a better term would be "reverse preachy"? The way they phrase the lesson they learn will make or break this for me.

[Shanks 10,816]

Wow, that guy may well have saved Flutters bacon.

 

Agreed. If I were FS, I'd panic.

I think I would crack too in large part because I am a terrible liar.

[Prince Firemane 309]

Y'know, I wonder if anyone has asked the 64,000 bit question to Starlight; If everypony is truly equal, why is she the singular ruler?

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

I'm liking this so far. There may be a characterization issue here and there but they aren't worth noting since those are like one off gags.

I haven't even noticed anything :/

 

But as you said, even if they are there, they're nothing to get worked up about

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

Holy shit, they actually presented Fluttershy with a good conflict for the first time since S2

 

...aaand they blew it.

[lomk 20,663]

Somebody needs to pull out a handgun and shoot that horn. 

[Lightwing 12,970]

I ship Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy

 

I said it. I'm done for.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Y'know, I wonder if anyone has asked the 64,000 bit question to Starlight; If everypony is truly equal, why is she the singular ruler?

Here's a better question: if everyone is happier this way, why is there need for coercion to maintain society?

 

It's ok Starlight, Stalin, Mao, and Che didn't have an answer for that question either

[Lightwing 12,970]

Ever since i saw that Starlight was more colourful than the others,I knew that it was a  fake

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

I ship Starlight Glimmer and Fluttershy

 

I said it. I'm done for.

I prefer Fluttershy x Party Favor but you know, preferences. 

[Shanks 10,816]

Wow, Starlight glimmers equal sign is fake and she wants to keep Twilight's cutie mark. Does Starlight also get the power the cutie marks represent in addition to the cutie marks themselves?

[Dark Qiviut 22,396]

Two words, Starlight: You fraud!

[Lightwing 12,970]

Two words, Starlight: You fraud!

She was more colourful than the others,which sparked my curiosity.

 

But that scene showd up the fraud.

[lomk 20,663]

Starlight is a typical politician. 

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Starlight has a regular cutie mark. WHAT A TWIST!

[FirestormCAN 246]

And our glorious leader is falling apart...

[Shanks 10,816]

Do as I say not as I do, oh the pathetic rationalization.

[Odyssey 5,716]

Wow, Starlight's voice actress and expressions are amazing! :0

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

Well, Twilight got shut up real fast. ._.

[Batbrony 16,054]

Oooooo, unexpected plot twist is unexpected!  Starlight Glimmer, you sneaky little hypocrite!!! 

 

[Steve Piranha 29,424]

I honestly see more of a totalitarism town rather than a communist kind of town, because of all the control in the medias, like the books with the equal signs and the radio with the messagaes.

Also, I am surprised that I heard the word "brainwashed", which is a surprise for me to hear that in MLP

And as a good old totalitarian society, broad for the rulers, and narrow for everyone else 

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

Villainous breakdown? Engaged. She even pulled a villainous Shut Up Hannibal against Twilight. I think Starlight Glimmer has earned her spot on my list of favorite pony villains now.

[Batbrony 16,054]

Zippy... sack?  What the actual buck? 

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

The Communism is over! Yay for Socialistic Capitalism!

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

Dat "QUIET!"

 

Twilight got morally obliterated.
