S02:E01+E02 - Return of Harmony

[Sunshine Berry 97]

Thank you to the CMC for inadvertently unleashing Discord upon Equestria.

The long legged bunnies is so silly and kinda creepy. My favourite chaos design. 

I like how Celestia “knighted” Twily with her horn when wishing them well. World building! 

I like Discord as a villain. He fits the vibe of the show very well, and steals every scene he’s in. 

The Chaos!Elements are hilarious. Even more hilarious is Twilight’s growing impatience with the others. She basically woke up and was forced into babysitting her best friends. “My friends.. have turned into COMPLETE JERKS!” And “We’ve got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute.” “What about a Rainbow Dash?” “Congratulations Spike, you’re the new Rainbow Dash. Now LETS GO!” 

Puppy dog Big Mac is so cute.

 I love how it was all the lessons of friendship they learned that was key to overcoming chaos and restoring harmony. When Twilight’s eyes glow white with pure magic, so cool. 

Overall a great season opener!

I love this one.

It intrigues me that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were special cases for Discord. The others were tempted into expressing the opposite of their designated Elements, but Discord didn't even try to turn Rainbow Dash disloyal -- instead, he leveraged a competing loyalty by telling her Cloudsdale needed her more. Somehow this still worked. I guess it counted as disloyalty because real Clousdale was fine.

He tried to tempt Fluttershy, but it just didn't work. She's just too sweet and kind to resent her friends for any reason, so in the end he just concussed her with the curse.
