Favorite 2-Parter?

A simple question: What was your favorite 2-parter? And why?

 

My favorite would probably be Twilight's Kingdom. The plot didn't feel rushed, and Discord getting betrayed really put it together.

 

The tree was destroyed, which took a bit of processing at first. And then there was the fight with Tirek, which was awesome.

My favorite of the two-parters also happens to be my favorite episode of the series: The Crystal Empire.

 

1. Sombra really helps to make the episode; a fantastic villain, IMO.

2. The atmosphere really felt brooding and it helped set the mood.

3. The Mane 6 each had a legitimate part to play.

4. Spike was not only useful; he was key to the plot's conclusion.

5. Likewise, Cadence & Shining Armor also play a part, though are not as directly involved in the plot.

6. Watching Twilight and Spike needing each other to get through the various traps was amazing.

7. The finale is just beautiful!

8. We get a new race in the Crystal Ponies.

9. Likewise the map is expanded, and the Crystal Empire itself is a sight to behold.

10. The comedy was pretty spot on.

A Canterlot Wedding. Granted, it's not objectively good because of major storytelling flaws (e.g., really rushed pacing, SA and Cadance two-dimensional and reliant on telling us about their romance, the ReMane Five and Celestia portrayed as out-of-character idiots). Of them all, it's the second-worst behind only The Crystal Empire. But it's a classic guilty pleasure. It's such a fantastic romp to watch with the songs (especially This Day Aria), Queen Chrysalis's amazing design, the humor quality, and the kickass fight between the Changelings and Mane Six.

The Cutie Map as it presented an interesting villain motivated by ideology rather than power, involved the mane 6 where they show of how strong their friendship is despite their unique talents, and how it was the newcomers in the equal town that help save the mane 6 from losing their cutie marks. All while providing subtle dark tones at how alien and nefarious Starlight Glimmer's ideology is compared to the rest of Equestria.

 

Next up is Return of Harmony for giving us the gift of Discord, putting the mane 6 through one of the toughest challenges yet, and for giving Celestia possibly her most splendid moment in the show yet.

Canterlot Wedding. First, instead of being a preparing fairy tale wedding episode, it dealt with a personal problem with Twi for thinking her brother is making a huge mistake, with some evil plot revealed. Second, it's the episode that finally convinced me to become and stay pony  ;)

The Return of Harmony. Honestly I consider most of the two-parters rather weak compared with most of the series but this one is one of the best episodes of the show. Discord is a great villain, the stakes are both big AND personal and most importantly all of the Mane 6 have a role to play! 


Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end.

The Cutie Map. 

 

Starlight's showcase as a villain in this episode is far superior to that of The Cutie Re-Mark. She's manipulative and legitimately threatening, whereas in the latter episode, she's more or less just a chicken with its head cut off. And you gotta love that song. 

 

Also, I love how this is finally the two-parter that actually doesn't put an overabundance of focus on Twilight.

Have to agree with Clever and Nuke. The Cutie Map is the best Two Parter of the series. But it's also my favorite episode of the whole series.

Please, don't be afraid to talk to me. I am not as unapproachable, as you might think.

the return of harmony is my favourite 2 parter.

The storry, the voice acting and the interesting visuals just make it my favourite 2 parter to this moment for me personally only the end of season 5 came close to that

The Cutie Map has to be my favorite. Mostly because they were my first episodes, and got me hooked in the first place. The Crystal Empire is the runner-up, but I seriously cannot help but cringe whenever I watch any episodes that have musical numbers with my dad (he already has a hard time putting up with the show; the songs really hammer it in for him that I am not a big, tough man like he is).

I think I have to go with Canterlot Wedding for this one, with Twilight's Kingdom being a close second. Oddly enough, I cannot quite pin down why it is my favorite. Something about the atmosphere of the entire episode and the nostalgia I have for it, it has stuck with me so much. Watching that and thus finishing the first two seasons at the time, shortly after I became a brony, it made me reflect on it all and that happiness I felt at that moment has also stuck with me. 

 

Kinda strange reasoning but there ya go.

The Cutie Re-Mark

 

Yes, the conclusion was rushed and hard to swallow...but it was action-packed, eventful, interesting, and full of callbacks. Plus, having so many villains in one story is just too good! :D

How do you think WE feel?!

My favourite is Princess Twilight Sparkle. I love how it goes back in time to show some of Equestria's history! I also really like The Crystal Empire, Twilight's Kingdom, and The Cutie Re-Mark though. There's just too many to choose from! :P

The Cutie Re-Mark all the way. (Magic x time travel) + (callbacks x alternate universes) = jaw dropping awesomeness. Starlight's reform was a little rushed, but no worse than Sunset Shimmer's, and it's hard not to love absolutely every other moment in that finale. If I had to choose a second favourite, I'd probably go with Twilight's Kingdom. Maybe I just have a thing for epic finales.
