Just saw this episode. It was pretty awesome.

The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't chant. ♥

Every time Trixie said something about her wagon, I wanted it to flash cut to the Ursa Major stomping on her old one, again, and again, and again. Every sentence. Wham. "It is shelter." Wham. " It is transportation." Wham. "It is my only friend on the lo" Wham "ng and lonely" Wham "nights on the road." ... ... Wham. Wham. Wham.

Seeing Starlight Glimmer returning to her old pattern of simultaneously well intended and despicably evil was interesting. I don't think I've ever met a more endearing and sympathetic psychopath in fiction or reality.

...

SHES NOT YOUR BUDDY GUY

I felt a strange mix of sympathy and envy for Starlight, when heart songs had actual plot significance, and she even was confronted by it, without being able to understand how she didn't notice the fire swamp before, when travelling together with her friend. Equestria truly must be a strange and wonderful place to live in.

Nobody made Trixie skulk around in a concealing cloak through dark and disreputable neighborhoods to find the weird little shop where she paid a fortune for the amulet of power. That was the product of her own raging internal thirst for revenge.

that's a reason to stay here. We're realistic about the declining quality of the show. While there are still gems, the show has become quite mediocre, and even the gems aren't really in the same universe as what the show was around season 2.

>"realistic"

You know, change is inevitable and while I do lv the charming simplicity of the early seasons, and I admit things were a bit rudderless for a while there, it's my firm opinion that the show has some really enjoyable growth and is still of good quality.

It's not "realism" to just be grumpy that something you loved changes. That's called being a curmudgeon. Now, I'm not saying I want starry-eyed unquestioning worship of the show but it does get a bit old to have you crochety haters pissing on wat I love while I'm trying to discuss it with people.


Further, it's just confusing. I have difficulty separating those who still enjoy pony from those who hate it when all they say is that it sucks ass.

meh. Don't go changing tho, I don't know what I'm talking about anyway.

In S1's "Boast Busters," Trixie is a moderately powerful unicorn with real magic. Oh, the Ursa Major thing is all hype, and she uses a lot of smoke bombs and fireworks, but she has enough unicorn power over ropes, rainbows, lightning, and hair to do real magical dirt to Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. When she gets hold of the Alicorn Amulet, her natural powers are amplified to the verge of omnipotence. But by the time we get down to the latest season, she has become as big a humbug as the Wizard of Oz.

What happened?

While true - and understandable - in Spoiled Milk's case, we don't know when Miss Cake changed her name.

I was more under the impression she changed it when she discovered her talent for baking.

And I'm not aware Pear Butter changed her name at all, she just had a nickname that everyone used.

Buttercup.

>>36829473

Mrs. Cake used to be named Chiffon Swirl

>>36829474

Huh, actually now that I look at it, you're right. They never say her name in flashbacks, so it could've been Cup Cake before she married Carrot, and just coincidentally ended up with the same last name. Well, it's a remote possibility, at least.

And they do say Buttercup is her nickname, but it really seems like grasping at straws, since Apple Bloom, Applejack and Big Mac all had no idea that wasn't her real name. I can't imagine she didn't change it to her nickname after the marriage. All the ponies who changed their names are still the wives, and it's just hard to conclude that Pear Butter wouldn't have changed her name regardless of the feud, as per the marital tradition.

Dash - and likely many others - knew she couldn't fly. Dash herself once said "maybe you'll fly one day or maybe you won't... you're all kinds of awesome anyway".

I think Scoots has no issues telling ponies she couldn't fly. She snapped at Rainbow Dash cause Dash in her ignorance kept pushing her own flying abilities as what's special and awesome, ignoring how that must have felt to Scootaloo. At least that's how I understand their conversation and Dash's apology near the end.
