Friendship Is Magic Rewatch Themes: Plan Your Ponies!

[ponyvangelist 732]

With Season Two at an end and a long dry summer ahead, maintaining therapeutic pony levels can be challenging. While the MLP community is loaded with an amazing number of creative, talented, artistic people capable of producing stacks of high-quality pony-related fan material, there's still no substitute for the Real Thing.

 

Thus we are faced with rewatching episodes of Friendship is Magic until the ponies return to us once again this fall ("pony season"?).

 

We all have our favorite episodes, and I know I watch mine quite a lot. However, variety is the spice of life, and I've been pondering how best to shake things up and keep my pony viewing experience as fresh as possible.

 

Enter Rewatch Themes.

 

The concept is simple: planning a set of Friendship is Magic episodes based on a theme. Granted, the idea is nothing new, and though I didn't find another thread about this, it wouldn't surprise me if there were several. I'm sure other fans already do this.

 

Be that as it may, I think it would be fun to share our ideas for rewatching the show and see what we come up with.

 

As an example, I've been finding myself in something of a Pinkie Pie mood lately, so I'm planning a "Pinkie run" of Pinkie-centered episodes, or episodes with a lot of Pinkie in them. Here's the plan:

 

ponyvangelist's Pinkie Pie Rewatch Theme v1.0

 

MLPS01E05 "Griffon the Brush-Off"

MLPS01E15 "Feeling Pinkie Keen"

MLPS01E20 "Green Isn't Your Color" (Pinkie's ForEHHHHHHVER side plot.)

MLPS01E25 "Party of One" (The episode that turned me into a Pinkie fan, especially "Pinkamena".)

MLPS02E13 "Baby Cakes"

MLPS02E18 "A Friend in Deed" (The episode that turned EVERYONE into a Pinkie fan.)

MLPS02E24 "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" (Inspector Pinkie. 'Nuff said.)

 

That's a lot of Pinkie, and I probably won't watch them all in one day (yeah, I say that now), but those seven episodes should be enough to give even the most diehard fan a nice Pinkie fix.

 

So, what kind of rewatch themes do you have planned?

[Love4discord18 269]

Well ... I'm probably gonna watch " return of harmony part 1 and 2" over and over and over. And I'll most liekly watch tehre st of season 2 and all the episodes with rainbowdash in it.

[Chigens and Kay 3,832]

Whenever it comes on HUB.

 

Although I may occasionally watch an episode or two on Netflix with my brothers.

 

Yep, pretty simple plan.

ponyvangelist's Pinkie Pie Rewatch Theme v1.0

 

MLPS01E05 "Griffon the Brush-Off"

MLPS01E15 "Feeling Pinkie Keen"

MLPS01E20 "Green Isn't Your Color" (Pinkie's ForEHHHHHHVER side plot.)

MLPS01E25 "Party of One" (The episode that turned me into a Pinkie fan, especially "Pinkamena".)

MLPS02E13 "Baby Cakes"

MLPS02E18 "A Friend in Deed" (The episode that turned EVERYONE into a Pinkie fan.)

MLPS02E24 "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" (Inspector Pinkie. 'Nuff said.)

 

 

I would replace "Baby cakes" with "Cutiemark chronicles". I really dislike "Baby cakes" especially because of "Oink, Oink, Oink" and I love Pinkie's cutiemark story.

 

I don't usually watch the episodes in themes, but I'll try coming up with some for the summer break and I'll probably post them here.

Other than character-specific themes, maybe a marathon of all three of the hour-long two-parters!

You...don't like...Baby Cakes?...

[Mr. Jaguar 1,403]

Hmm, never thought of this......say, this is a pretty darn good idea. I guess I'll watch all the fluttershy episodes from first to last, then pinkie pie. Yay marathons!

[caesar15 231]

Actually thats pretty cool, nice idea, i wont be using it though, i am just rewatching every single episode.

[Ra1nbowCrasH 272]

I'm just rewatching random episodes; whichever comes up on my iPod when I press shuffle.

[NavelColt 22,880]

A very cool idea :3

I didn't like babycakes either. The fact that the baby pegasus flew better than fluttershy when it shouldn't even be possible to fly yet and the unicorn was performing spells that would have impressed twi (unicorns can fly?!) I really felt quite annoyed by it.

 

Pinkie Pig was the only good part, for me. that and the change of heart at the end.

My brain just exploded. No way I could watch that lol.

I've already rewatched season 1/2 a lot already. I'm trying to live life without watching ponies for a while so I'm fresh for the pickin' in seasoon 3. With the main villain being Queen Muffin Derps!

[Radiance64 7,053]

TRAIN MARATHON: Over a Barrel, Hearth's Warming Eve, The Last Roundup, MMMystery of the Friendship Express, A Canterlot Wedding parts 1 and 2

If the Friendship Express DVD had been released later, this would probably have been its lineup.

[Arrow 236]

Hmm... Actually, I think I'll take a break from MLP during the summer and watch some other cartoons/anime. Like Pokémon and Ben 10!

 

Then again, Code Lyoko Evolution is coming soon so that will take a lot of my time.

Thank you. Now I don't need to make a list .

 

Actually, I'm watching whatever episodes the Hub throws at me

[Comet Tail 808]

I'm just gonna watch them from beginning to end, S1E1 to S2E26 in order.

 

I usually run into an episode where I think; "eh, I mostly remember it, and it's not that good", and I used to skip those. But, as it turns out, the ones I feel like watching the least usually end up being the most enjoyable. In other words, just watch all of them to keep from forgetting some episodes and watching others too many times. That's how I'm doing it.

[doodlidoo 5]

A very cool idea :3

 

Trio of Villains of Duo Episodes Rewatch Theme:

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Parts 1 & 2 (Night Mare Moon)

Return of Harmony Parts 1 & 2 (Discoooooord, whatever did we do, to make you take our world awaaaaaay-*shot*)

Canterlot Wedding Parts 1 & 2 (Chrysalis)

 

Why not a Pan-Villain Marathon?

Pilot Episodes 1/2 (Lunaaaaaa! :3)

Griffon the Brush Off (The punk rocker griffon)

Boast Busters (Heck Yes Trixie)

A Dog and Pony Show (Diamond Dogs have a lot of potential to be in the third season methinks)

Return to Harmony 1/2 (In which we find out that Angel is actually Discord)

Read it and Weep (while the villain doesn't show up in Ponyville, I like to think that Daring's books are only slightly exaggerated autobiographies and that therefore her villain is real.)

Putting Your Hoof Down (Iron Will isn't technically a villain, but Fluttershy almost becomes one, so we'll let this one in if only to pad the list a bit.)

Dragon Quest (Teenage Dragons. I honestly can't think of anything scarier.)

Canterlot Wedding 1/2 (Go Chrys! :3)

I was talking about the main villains =3 But that's fine for an all villains thing.
