spoiler Return of the Smooze

[Cwanky 17,801]

So there has been a bit of talk about reviving older concepts and characters from older generations. Tirek was the most recent and notable example of that, but the latest upcoming episode Make New Friends But Keep Discord reportedly has the revival of an old friend:

Yes that Smooze, but probably not as a destructive villain. Discord apparently feels insecure and rejected by Fluttershy so the Smooze will come by as his new friend to keep him company at the Grand Galloping Gala.

 

I have never actually seen the Smooze myself, outside of pics and commercials, but it'll be fun to see the gooey creature make a reappearance.

 

Remember, ALL HAIL THE SMOOZE.

Hasbro can easy change his color and make him smaller, and that's all.

Smooze huh, I have no idea what the original version is like so I can only hope for the best.

Just letting you know I edited your topic to include the spoiler prefix. Some people may not be aware of Smooze's supposed return.

[UnknownFry 169]

Nothing can stop the Smooze!

[The Awesome One 1,316]

A gooey monster is going to be the villain for the next episode? Yes, this will be interesting to watch. I hope they do a good job with his new design and colour scheme.

[Thunderlane 550]

I heard about it from one of the Season 5 Trailers. Meghan McCarthy says it's one of the more fun episodes ^^

[simba86 1,541]

the smooze is not a villian in this episode it does not look like. i think fluttershy takes him to the gala instead of discord and it makes discord jelly and he goes out of his way to act like he isn't.

the smooze had better not be the villian because the only thing that can stop it is the utter flutter that the the flutter ponies use and i an't seen no flutter ponies in G4

[Singe 2,111]

Smooze shows up, then animals and ponies start to disappear.

[Phoenix Flair 332]

Dude, this is gonna be pretty sweetles.  Praise Lord Smooze, y'all!  

[ManaMinori 4,149]

if the Smooze gets its spotlight, than I hope Flutterponies can get some, later on.

[ArcheoPony 76]

Really looking forward to the Smooze's portrayal. The premise of him at the Gala has hilarious potential.

 

Kinda disappointing that it seems to be a plot device for a kind of unimaginative jealousy plot though.

[Sazama Ichida 2,367]

They completely ruined him...

This was him at first:

But now he just looks like this:

They ruined him...How could they make Tirek so badass but yet ruin The Smooze? Jeez louse if I wanted just a generic green slime from an RPG game I would've just put one in there...I mean he looked like a freaking Muk on sterioids at first...And he was so powerful that not even the Rainbow of Light could defeat him...

Imagine if they had done him right and the Elements of Harmony were used against him and failed for the first time. That would've been awesome.

Except that he looks like he won't be a villain. If they made him a villain, then I think they probably would make him like in G1.

[silvadel 1,394]

Assuming Smooze can manipulate his size at will, why would he want to flood the gala?  He is being personable, in a personable size.

I know. And that really sucks...

[Celli 4,352]

I can understand how you feel. It would have been cool to have him a villain, but oh well. 

[dekutree64 713]

Nooo, what a waste if that green lump is really all it's going to be I had constructed this awesome image in my head of Smooze being the finale villain, with Starlight Glimmer summoning it to wash away the sins of the world after peacefully spreading her message of equality didn't work Haven't the writers heard of Friendship is Witchcraft? The Smooze has to be apocalyptic. And the more cheerful, the better That G1 song is a masterpiece. I love it when villains are happy and carefree while destroying everything, rather than staying angry/serious all the time.

 

Really, I would have loved to see almost an exact repeat of the G1 Smooze, just with the G4 characters. And the castle tree taking the place of the Rainbow of Light as the failed super-weapon. But perhaps a less guilt-based way of talking the Flutterponies into helping.

[Singe 2,111]

Side chance that Smooze gets corrupted and changes by magic.

[Steve Piranha 29,499]

Haven't the writers heard of Friendship is Witchcraft? 

 

Sorry bro, writers aren't allowed to peep at fan stuff 

 

I'm excited to see this episode!

Too mad we have to wait two weeks for it, since no pony next weekend 

[Allen 1,401]

First thing, I saw the Smooze appeared in the My Little Pony 1986 film.

 

By next Saturday at May 16th (May 9th episode delayed by the way), I'm going to see this how come the Smooze may appear in this episode at the Grand Galloping Gala? My excitement was the magic to help!

[Zantetsuken 364]

I for one am excited for the return of the smooze. Now even though it was stated that this will be one of the more "fun" episodes I do still hope there is some danger to the smooze, or he threatens equestria, or the mane 6 in a small way, at the very least.  

 

the animatic did show promise when the smooze did uh... something like he exploded or something and the ponies we running all over the place in a panic... I think one may have gotten his hoof stuck in goo, I don't know I'm going off memory here cause I'm too lazy to look it up right now

 

but yeah I'am pretty excited for this one now... *narrows eyes* now lets hope Natasha Levenger (the writer of this smooze episode) doesn't fuck it up 

 

she wrote Pinkie Apple Pie and that was a decent episode, with apples to the core being my second most favorite song from season 4 

but she also wrote It Ain't Easy Being Breezies witch was one of the worst episodes of Season 4 

 

so It's a 50/50 shot here

[DragonFlyer 329]

This is the episode I've been looking forward to the most for multiple reasons, the smooze being just one! I remember the original smooze fondly from my childhood (gotta love that catchy song) and I can't wait to see what they do with the character. I admit I like the old model more too but I won't judge this new smooze until I've seen the episode for myself. Maybe this version isn't Muk on steroids but it sure reminds me of GAK. XD

You are correct:

Actually that scene makes me wonder if the Smooze is really such a good guy afterall...or maybe he's just not used to social situations and had a meltdown (literally)? XD I guess it could go either way but it'd be fun to see him as a villain.

I think is of the oblivious troublemakers type, I doubt he'll actually pose a threat

[Conred 274]

I think it will go something like this:

1-Discord take Smooze to the gala to not look like he cared about Fluttershy(who took some female companion with her)

2-However at the Gala he ignore Smooze and try to get Fluttershy attention

3- Smooze get pissed and start to ..well...smooze everything

4- Discord apologize to calm him down

5- Discord learn to not abandon new friends for the sake of old, while Fluttershy learn to not abandon old friends for the sake of new one

6- Smooze dance with Pinkie
