Your Favorite MLP Episode: Round Two Series


SuperUltimateBrony

Recommended Posts

I'm going for Sweet and Elite, because I thought there was a good amount of character development for Rarity in there and I generally found it more engaging. The song helped too :).

 

You know what this tournament really needs though if it ever happens again? A consolation round. That way we could save some of the episodes that got the most screwed over by the random matchups. I don't feel like Hearth's Warming Eve, The Last Roundup and ESPECIALLY Sleepless in Ponyville deserved to go out in the first round and I'd pick them over a solid chunk of the episodes that advanced. Maybe we could vote on the top two first round losers or something?

 

Anyhow, didn't mean to get all that off topic there. Go Sweet and Elite!

I'm going to make that happen Dash. Because the tournament had an odd number of first round episodes, there's one match that doesn't have a third round which makes the winner of Magic Duel VS Wonderbolt Academy skip a round.

 

Everypony, name two of the first round episode losers that you want to return and I'll put them against eachother to face the winner of Magic Duel VS Wonderbolt Academy. That way, it's fair, and has an even number of episodes again.

Hm... A fail episode vs a rarity achieving half of her dreams episode... I wonder which will win...

 

Obviously rarity will win because she had a BIG character development in this as well as getting a good reputation in canterlot... And with ANOTHER AWESOME SONG from rarity!

 

My vote: sweet and elite

Rarity is best pony!

Fancypants' horrible British accent makes me not want to go for Sweet and Elite :P But I have to. It tied itself together better, it manages to make Rarity's case seem both desperate and humorous, which I like.

 

EDIT: Just saw the new post. I vote for The Best Night Ever, along with Sleepless in Ponyville. The Best Night Ever was a really great episode, but it ended up facing A Canterlot Wedding Part 2...

Sweet and Elite is a fine episode, but I'm too much of a Fluttershy fan to not vote for Stare Master.  I know what it's like to try to keep three children full of piss and vinegar under control.  It had the best Fluttershy squee ever.  And it taught me the correct way to call a chicken:  "Scootaloo!  Scoot, Scootaloo!"

I'm surprised that the current posts tend to favor Sweet and Elite, yet on the vote poll Stare master is winning.

 

Oh and also, are episodes supposed to be in the vote more than once? Because I recall Sweet and Elite being in a previous vote.

Don't get me wrong, I still love Fluttershy, but I thought that Stare Master was kind of, well, meh.  I thought it was bland and entirely useless in the long run.  The moral was sort of weak to begin with and the ultimate conclusion had nothing to do with the moral in the slightest.  Even though Sweet and Elite is the episode I remember mainly as the one where Rarity doesn't apologize to her friends for lying to them, it was far more focused and had a better moral.  Therefore, my vote goes to Sweet and Elite.

 

As for the two episodes that I wish to revive...  The only one I remember going is Sleepless in Ponyville, though looking above, I see The Best Night Ever as well, so I guess my votes go to those two.

If you recall that, you're correct. This is a tournament. The winning episodes go to the next round. Currently, we're in the quarterfinals.

I didn't really care for either of these episodes, but Sweet and Elite was much better than Stare Master.

Feeling Pinkie Keen and Putting Your Hoof Down get my vote.

Voting for The Stare Master, because I really liked Fluttershy in that episode. While Putting Your Hoof Down and Hurricane Fluttershy were amazing episodes, I sometimes got a little distracted by Pinkie Pie/Rarity and Rainbow Dash, respectively, in those episodes. I liked The Stare Master because for once, Fluttershy's problem wasn't being afraid or not being assertive enough. Prideful Fluttershy is an interesting exercise in contradictions, and I wish it was explored more. 

 

I like the different setting of Sweet and Elite (where we never encounter Ponyville directly) and the fact that Rarity's humble origins were again addressed, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as The Stare Master.

 

Sleepless In Ponyville definitely deserves a second chance, as does Read It and Weep.

I see you're going against the grain again, and I wouldn't expect anything less :). Good to have another vote for Sleepless. As much as I'd love to see it come back, I think you can't vote for Read it and Weep because it made it out of the first round. Sad day :(.

Hm. Well as good an episode as Sweet and elite is, I also like stare master, and it is technically the first episode I saw which technically made me into a brony.

 

Therefore it has a special meaning for me, and I'll have to go with Stare master then.

 

Also. I didn't know Sleepless in ponyvile didn't win..  Or putting your hoof down, shows how much attention i pay :P.

 

I'm going with those two, Sleepless in Ponyvile is a great episode in my opinion, same with Putting your Hoof Down, although maybe I'm biased for Putting your hoof down because of Fluttershy, And I might be biased for the adorableness of Scoots in Sleepless In Ponyville.

I forgot to mention. To have an episode be brought back, it must receive a minimum of five votes.

 

Sleepless In Ponyville is entered to return.

 

The Best Night Ever and Putting Your Hoof Down has two votes. Feeling Pinkie Keen and The Last Roundup has one.

 

You still have three days to vote.

Alright, if I can't vote for Read It And Weep, I'm voting for Putting Your Hoof Down. For some reason, I can't find any Round 2 matches it was in, but there aren't too many episodes I can think of that would easily beat it, so I'm voting for a return anyways.

Stare Master just...wasn't that good. If people liked it I'm happy for them, but the only thing about that episode I really enjoyed was Shy staring down the cockatrice. Sweet and Elite was one of the better episodes of Season 2 and really developed Rarity's character, so I'm going with that all the way.

Awesome! Sleepless is coming back! I vote for The Best Night Ever to come back as well.

I loved Cider Squeezy. It had interesting villains, a fun song, Dashie being adorable, the mane six collaborating, and Applejack teaching Celestia who the troll REALLY is. I loved Sisterhooves Social too, especially since it it one of the episodes I can most relate to. I hate to vote against it but I'm afraid I have to.

 

Grudgingly I vote for The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000

The... Super speedy cider dohicky episode had a good song, but, the type of caracters that flim and flam were... Idk... I just don't like those types of caracters...

 

But a real good character development for rarity was in sisterhoof social. And yah...

 

My vote: sisterhoof social

DashForever took the words out of my mouth, I voted Cider Squeezy 6000 for the same reasons. It showed us more of the Apple family and how they work as a unit, as well as their very old-fashioned business practices. I was really worried for them until the end. We got a lot of interesting reactions to that episode. Bronies did everything from support the Apples to cheering on the Flimflams as geniuses and saying they only failed because they got sloppy.

 

Personally I thought that if putting up with the Flimflam Brothers is the price Ponyville had to pay to usher in modern business...well, they can afford to wait a while longer.

Sisterhooves Social easily gets my vote.  Super Speedy didn't really stick out to me too much, and I found Flim and Flam to be somewhat annoying.  Having an older sibling myself, I was able to relate to the plot of Sisterhooves much more.
