PONIES The Anthology 3

[ninjamon102938 222]

After waiting a while for it, I was curious to see what everyone else thought of it. 

If you haven't see, here it is

Yeah its funny its been done before whit other media but still funny

[Scootalove 10,689]

It was very funny, I wouldn't say that it was better than the other two but it is still funny. Very enjoyable if you know about the Anthology series itself, and that you've seen the first two.

[Stick Shift 84]

They made another good one, really liked the opening for this one. The one with Rarity on the XP background always gets me.

[ninjamon102938 222]

I was surprised to see not one but two Attack on Titan skits

[Doctor XFizzle 8,669]

Anthology 1 > 3 > 2

 

Did not like 2 very much. Was too long and didn't care for the 2012: A Space Odyssey stuff at the end.

Since this is already a repeat thread I will repeat what I said in the other one because my thoughts haven't changed: *paste mode!*

~~~

I thought the creativity of the whole thing died when we had what, six passive aggressive jokes aimed at not liking Twilicorn and the entirety of bashing on Equestria Girls.

 

I know I know, parody and all that jazz but it opening up with the Toy Story 2 bit for why the show was cancelled only left a sour taste in my mouth because I thought "Great so now I have to watch another creation from more fans for why they didn't like this too?".

 

I'm not above knocking on things I like either, but come. on.

 

- All of the game jokes were a nice pace away but....wow, like the heavy emphasis on THANKS M.A. LARSON (Grew tired of that real quick too) I didn't think there was a need for the heavy emphasis on Half Life 2 beyond the Valve logo.

 

- What the hell was with that Windows Rarity thing?

 

- Too many jokes are increasingly getting more on the obscure side for the point of said joke to not come through to me.

 

- Length of it being shorter than 2 was also a bummer, and I was hoping for something else grandiose than the final "THANKS M.A. LARSON" joke even though it was he himself in the video. This was literally the 70 minute version of Half Life with ponies and "We hated Equestria Girls and Twilicorn" rather than a nice parody filled video collaberation that didn't try to shove one, much less two opinions down my throat. 

 

I feel that 3 was merely...'empty' and there. The first two were the better ones but I hope that if they bother with a 4th one it will have better organizers or more of a simplified feeling of multiple jokes instead of two being pushed around repeatedly.

 

Also, how far back can we really rely on internet culture to make something funny? Does anyone really know about "All your base are belong to us" or care much for "FULL LIFE CONSEQUENCES" to see some half hearted parody of it?

 

Sorry I know I know I should look at this differently because it was actually made and had time put towards it but...meh. I don't have to like it, just like how I hated Double Rainboom...but that's another topic entirely.

 

A solid 5/10.

[Celli 4,339]

I loved it, personally. Thought it had much better shorts than the other two, honestly.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

I never knew there was a third anthology.

 

Will be sure to catch up on this later on, as I have yet to finish the second one completely.

[Shift 4,272]

Going against popular opinion, it was hilarious.

[Guest90210 3,569]

That was...terrible. I only laughed at a couple parts, which isn't good when the thing's over an hour long for some reason. Most of it was just putting voices from other media over ponies which I don't really find funny. Maybe I haven't been around long enough to understand some of the jokes, or maybe it actually was horrible. I don't know.

I would make the argument that the entirety of 3 was worse than 2 and 1. If you want to give something more of a try that has more variety than 3 then give those a shot.
