Sadly, all signs look to G4's demise also probably affecting EQG.

The ending was a bit ambiguous; Its half on them wanting to reform their gemstones and half on them simply finding "magic" in a mundane life.

Considering this is leading up to what looks to be a special with the same premise as 'The Starswirl Do-Over' book, and that the special might be the last ever piece of Equestria Girls content we get, I liked it. It was a fun song that told us quite a lot about their journey yet left out enough to make us want to know more.

Cozy Glow is Best Friend !gEapIYWEa2Country code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 36830425[View]

Cozy Glow's evil plan is to reform Tirek! She wants to take what she learned about friendship and share it with the worst of society, as a selfless act to make Equestria a better place. Sure she's deluded and probably egomaniacal when she thinks she can succeed where everypony else failed, but if she's trying to get in her pen pal's good graces just to show what a great friend she can be, that explains everything.

She'd commit some terrible crime like sucking all the magic out of Equestria, knowing it was complete lunacy to do so, knowing that she'd get caught and defeated. She'd pretend to be totally unrepentant, and completely unhinged, (and she's really good at pretending to be what she's not), so that ponies would lock her up and throw away the key. She lied when she said she wanted to be the empress of friendship, precisely so she could get locked up with Tirek. That's why she was so triumphant in her cage there. Her goal was never to conquer Equestria, but to become the best friend anypony could possibly be, and how better to do that than to befriend the one creature who has never been a friend to anybody? And now Tirek is at her mercy, and it's only a matter of time until he submits to her friendship. Until Grogar f-ed everything up. That's how Cozy really thinks friendship works, and that's exactly what she was trying to do. There's no other explanation for her actions!

>And she wouldn't be able to fly. Or have a cutie mark. Or special talent. Or will to live, apparently. Pic related. That happened to everypony in Equestria, including Cozy, and I don't think it was an experience she'd want to revisit. I really don't think Cozy Glow wanted to succeed here.
There's been various ways "draining magic" has been portrayed. In Cozy's way, it didn't seem like it would affect pegasus flight or cutie marks. The effects were supposed to go, day one, unicorn magic is gone. Day two, magical abilities are gone. Day three, magical artifacts become powerless. If cutie marks and pegasus flight would've been affected, it would've been because of day two's affect, but there was still pegasi flying and no one missing their cutie mark on day three. So it seems it would be less soul devasting, and more just losing power kind of situation. Still very bad, but wouldn't affect her personally. Mainly just the unicorns and alicorns.

>It sounds more like she was trying to think of some way to make friendship sound evil, so that she could convince ponies she was cuckoo whackadoodle ding dong.
The only one she ever said "Empress of Friendship" to was Starlight (not counting the Young Six who were eavesdropping).

>That explains why they trapped themselves in Tartarus (and how Tartarus was so easy to escape), and it explains why they dumped a clearly mentally disturbed filly into a cage in a dungeon and forgot about her. Because Cozy Glow was faking it, and they knew it. It's all part of a long game to reform Tirek. Cozy's an inside agent, in the greatest friendship problem ever conceived.
Okay, yeah, you're just trolling at this point. Honestly, if you just think the way she was handled sucked, you could just admit that this is how you'd prefer it to have been written rather than the whole act as if this was the writer's intentions all along with Cozy.

Also I'd counter that they were clearly talking as if this was a real threat in scenes where there was no one around to pretend to, like after they escaped Tartarus and think they still failed because they ran out of time.

>>36830447

Well, okay, I could understand if she managed it so it only happened to the unicorns/princesses, and stopped there. But it still wouldn't help make her Empress of Friendship. If she thinks friendship's so powerful, why isn't she befriending the creatures who are full of magic, so that they do her bidding? In fact that's exactly what she was doing, until she threw all that away for some hairbrained scheme that wouldn't even appreciably benefit her in any way. At least Tirek was stealing all the magic for himself. She was just flushing it down the toilet, for no reason!

> The only one she ever said "Empress of Friendship" to was Starlight (not counting the Young Six who were eavesdropping).

Yeah, but she made that cheap cardboard crown, and was clearly planning on being some sort of public empress announcement. Or she was bullshitting everything. If Cozy Glow was planning to get defeated in the first place, then confessing to Starlight would ensure they'd know how "evil" she was, since she couldn't possibly have expected Starlight to be saved by the tree of Harmony that was right f*cking there.

> Honestly, if you just think the way she was handled sucked, you could just admit that this is how you'd prefer it to have been written rather than the whole act as if this was the writer's intentions all along with Cozy.

Perhaps you should just admit that the writers are pretty clever, rather than just demanding that we all assume Cozy's over the top villainy could not possibly be an act, while her cutesy sycophantic pandering had to be one.

Or maaaybe instead, you could say that I might be right, I could say that you might be right, and then we can both wait patiently for the s26 finale, when Cozy Glow pulls a heel face turn, and reveals her Xanatos gambit. Or when the writers prove that they suck. Again.

Quick question since I don't know where else to ask but how are some people even finding the early release epsiodes? I googled everywhere for Going to Seed before it aired today and the next two episodes but all I could find were 1 minute clips and people saying they've watched it (which I was too afraid to look into further in case of spoilers). So what are these folks' sources? And are they all in Italian?

Probably, though I think the shells might have been too fragile for direct contact (at least over a long period). Thus the need for the underground stream to heat the ground for the eggs.

Maybe the adult dragons we haven't seen since season 2 or something.

That's seriously bizarre to me. Since season 5 they've just wanted to purely focus on the dragon teens I guess? And kinda just ignore the fact that there are adults in their society? Even though Torch exists I guess other adults don't? And now they're sticking to their guns and making sure dragon adults are completely unmentioned despite dragon babies being laid and born? And also Sludge is a thing I guess, but isn't the size of an adult dragon so might just be a teenager pretending to be an old guy?

The comments on last week's episode have been criticized for being needlessly, over-dramatically harsh on an ep that was, at worst, uneven and average overall. Fair enough. What is the true bottom of the barrel, and why? What episode sticks out in your mind as the absolute worst so far? Was it defective in its concept, plotting, writing, graphics, music, acting, or what? Give us a base standard of comparison to temper our impatience with mediocrity in these Last Days.

I mean, I remember liking it at the time but holy hell. I rewatched it and it's just riddled with problems and plotholes. MLP wasn't perfect before this but the standards for finales have gotten so much better since with the finales from seasons 4-8 that this one is just rough in comparison.

Saw this one a while back when they were leaked. Overall not a bad one, really liked the flow of the video, and its a good song.
Its also nice to see them actually using their powers intelligently for once, since they so rarely actually GET to do so.


that being said, a bit dissapointed that dashie's solo song here is a pop song and not a rock song-- that's kind of always been her motif. I understand, in a meta sense, why its pop (Its the audience theyr'e aiming for I guess), but still.

Regardless, a good video, wouldn't mind seeing more dash songs, 9/10.

Throughout the entirety of Season 8, how many of her actions were intended to be interpreted by the viewer as premeditated?

Does she ever make a genuine mistake or is it all an act? For example, benign "mistakes" like her knocking over the red paint in "Marks for Effort". Did the writers intend for this to be taken as something she did deliberately (perhaps as an innocuous way to grow closer with the CMC whilst remaining perceptually bumbling/helpless in their collective conscious)? Speaking of the CMC, what was the purpose in helping them gain access to the School of Friendship? It was ultimately through the CMC's intervention that Tirek's master plan was thwarted, yet I see little-to-no benefit for Cozy in this instance. Likewise, why point Twilight directly to the Friendship University if she was secretly supplying Flim & Flam with lessons to help the competition prosper? She was clearly in charge of the mail, so why not dispose of the flyers instead? Also, was it ever stated when exactly Cozy and Tirek began communicating with one another? How many of her actions were fueled by her innate aptitude for manipulation, and how many were simply following Tirek's instruction?

>The crux is whether she was still genuine when she entered the school upon meeting the CMC or if that too was already part of the plan.

To my understanding, Cozy had already been attending the School of Friendship for at least a few days before meeting the CMC. Do you honestly think it was coincidental that she just so happened to be crying (very audibly) immediately outside of their clubhouse at just the right time to elicit the Crusaders' curiosity? She goes on to say "She doesn't know anypony" since she "just moved to Ponyville". It's pretty safe to assume that she wouldn't have insider info on the CMC's business (if we're meant to believe what she says, of course). Think about the type of person we're dealing with here. Cozy Glow doesn't even flinch in instances where her plans go off the rails or when she's confronted with direct opposition. This is not likely a personality trait that would change in such a short period of time. If anything, it proves her own strength of character and illustrates that she generally tries to maintain control in every instance wherein she has an audience, or perhaps in her mind "potential witnesses". The two best examples that come to mind highlighting the behavior in question are #1 the scene depicted in my OP and #2 the scene from my current pic related; episodes 26 & 25 respectively. So, in other words, there is no way in hell someone possessing Cozy's personality traits would ever let herself be caught crying in a helpless manner, unless it was an act.

What bothers me so much is what Opinionated eluded to.
>>>36829966
>the simple fact is nothing she does makes any sense whatsoever. She just makes conflict, only for the protagonists to overcome that conflict. When we finally learn her true goals, they don't line up at all with the actions she's taken all season.

I really like the idea of Cozy being this demigod of Pony psych, strategically pulling the strings behind the scenes in order to further her own agenda, but when the writers make mistakes like these it functions only to break the viewers' immersion.

There have been a few instances of impressive writing on that level, like Return of Harmony or Amending Fences, but Larson really was the only one capable of it. This isn't anything close to that so your skepticism is perfectly warranted, I was just offering an exceedingly generous interpretation.

Cyan Hide !YDuRgiNpKsCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 36830420

I see it like this; In Marks For Effort, she doesn't have her plan yet nor is she talking to Tirek at this point in time. She is however trying to manipulate the CMC into helping her at the friendship school. Then she tries to manipulate the school into accepting the CMC. She's new to the school at this point and hasn't realized the power of friendship, nor has she been taught enough history to know about Tirek.

Everything else she does in every other episode she features significantly fits in with her grand plan. She leaks lessons to Friendship University to make them prosper, then alerting Twilight to their presence (and thus playing both sides against each other), so that Twilight can shut them down and take in all the Friendship University students, meaning she has more 'friends' to work with who've already proven they're easily duped.

Even sowing seeds of dissent among the Student Six in What Lies Beneath is to make them doubt each other, and themselves, to prepare them for being made the scapegoat later on.

Really, REALLY freaking good episode. Kind of lacks a moral, but I think that shows that an episode without a heavy moral focus can still be good. (That being said, the touch on spike as the official little brother of the family was more than enough).


Love all the jokes like shining knowing EXACTLY what kind of plan that twilight was going to do, because that's the SAME plan they use for literally EVERY single situation they run into. Zephyr as a guard, Pinkie wanting to go to space, Luna bitching about the Geese squawking for false alarms all the time... literally everything was great about this episode.
Plus the luna petting a goose bit was just one of my favorite exploitable images from this entire series.

9.5/10, EASILY the best episode of this season by far.

They've had movie theaters since One Bad Seed (and projectors since Hurricane Fluttershy). Though considering it was in a building right next to the arena and museum, it felt more like one of those movies that are part of some historic attraction meant to educate guests.

And watching it is probably just part of the experience, and something Pinkie and Fluttershy could do with Rainbow before the games.

Huh. I'm in the minority here, but I genuinely liked this episode. Dash was cute and well meaning, even if her ideas are poorly dumb, and I found it nice to see a topic about this being done in the show, and it felt naturally done without feeling forced.

Snips and snails were kind of annoying, but the general interaction between quibble, his girlfriend and her daughter felt genuine.

TERRIBLE.
I had hopes for this one because I normally like Yona, but DAMN was this one piss poor.

The message is a stupidly hamfisted "Be yourself!/Be proud of your culture" kind of thing, without any nuance to it. The ball itself is just painful to see, and, I'm sorry rarity, but WTF were you THINKING with that gettup for Yona?

This is RARITY here, she's good at fashion, and that means making something work for someone even if they're "Plain" looking. She'd know how to make someone look good in a dress even if they're fat/different looking, and that dress and wig is HORRIFIC on Yona, with no synergy with her (The wig especially). There's a reason her friends are like "WTF you look like a clown!" when they see her. Rarity wouldn't be that dumb.


That being said, Rarity was a major upside to this episode, as tabitha was INCREDIBLE with her voice work. I really loved the scene where she stumbles over herself trying to say "no you're bothering, except you are" at the start when Yona comes in.


bleh, 4/10, and every single bit of that 4 is for Rarity.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, official nostalgia thread. The end of the line! Mint horse Country code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 36829843[View]

Intro; This thread is mostly for S1/S2 Oldfags who want to reminisce about both the show and fandoms past, considering the recent announcement of the S9 being the last season, thus bringing G4 to an end. Anypony is welcome to join the discussion, even New fags, as long as you're respectful to some of the shows veterans.

In this thread we talk about/share our favourite episodes, movies, shorts, songs, animations, fan-fictions, fan-art, toys, etc, that are in any way related to G4. As well as talking about the impact G4 has had on our lives and/or the lives of those around us. I'm going to make regular updates to this thread, and I suggest that everypony else do the same.

End of the line celebrations; I'm personally planning to go back to season one, so I can watch every episode from the show in order, again. (I plan to make thread updates about this as I go along.) I suggest you do the same, but don't rush it. Remember this is about reappreciating, the more thine you take the better.

Q&A; What are you guys doing to celebrate the end of the show? (As I said rewatching the show. But I'll also go back and look at some of the old fan content.)

Do you plan to stay the fandom once the show ends? If so, how long do you plan on staying here? (Definitely! I'll probably stay here for a good few years to come, at least.)

When did you join the fandom? (Early to mid season 2/early 2012.)

Do you still watch the show? (Yes, but nowhere near as much as I used to.)

What is your favourite episode/season? (There are too many good episodes and seasons for me to answer this question.)

I'm not sure. I'll see when it ends.

>Do you plan to stay the fandom once the show ends? If so, how long do you plan on staying here?

I'll always watch MLP from now on. I've watched everything from 1984 to now and I'm not going to stop anytime soon.

>When did you join the fandom?

I joined like March-April 2011. I remember because Green Isn't Your Colour had either just come out or it was the last episode to have come out when I joined.

>Do you still watch the show?

Yes. Stopped and started a few times but currently all caught up.

With any hope, gonna be around with my other brony friends, but I also hope to attend the last bronycon this August.

>Do you plan to stay the fandom once the show ends? If so, how long do you plan on staying here?
Totally. Pretty much for as long as this place stays up, even if I might not post much.

>When did you join the fandom?
Around August 2011 when a dear friend of mine introduced me to it. I was a bit hesitant at first, thinking it silly, then I gave it a try and was blown away by the lack of the usual childish cringe that naturally comes from shows meant for younger kids. The ponies were far cuter than I had expected as well, thus I stayed. The same friend also introduced me to this place! The very day was September 15th, 2011 late in the evening. Being that I was interested in RP prior, and given that said friend was a fantastic writer, I was hooked and made my OG character Taiga.

At the time I was a TERRIBLE writer, in fact, I was in HS at the time and failing pretty much all my writing/English based classes because of it. When I started to RP, for once I was engrossed into it, and because of that I learned and learned fast. Hell, look at said first OC and the very first pic of him XD. I can safely say that because of this place I was able to graduate without being held back.

I've made so many friends here, many times more so than at any other point in my life, even during HS (This sadly seems rare, but my HS days were absolutely fantastic, and will always be a joy to remember)

>>36828680

Well sure, but you'd be lying. I however couldn't call it out of the blue, if they foreshadowed it by having them meet in the background in episode 1. They didn't, so it was out of nowhere. Cheerimac, they had a reason to know each other. Marblemac actually showed them meeting for the first time. Sugarmac just... jumped straight into obsessive infatuation. (And where was Party Favor, the whole episode?)

>>36828679

It's true, there was plenty of potential for Cheerilee, all the way back to their flirting back in season 1. She's certainly attracted to Big Mac. Really, I like Sugarmac better than Cheerimac (and I know I'm a horrible person for this) because it helps me identify more with Cheerilee, since it lets artists explore the possibility that she can't get a date to save her life.

So are we to believe Yona wants to be a pony, or was that Rarity seeing her that way?

I enjoyed returning to an episode that focused solely on one of the Mane 6 having an introspective journey regarding one of her weaknesses. Maybe I also just found the tie to the pilot episode to be nostalgic. There was also solid humor throughout (like Twilight in the bushes, and Spike giving Indian food recommendations). I don't know. I'm bad at explaining these things.

That was a decent episode. It was nice to see characters like Moon Dancer or Derpy again or the indian food restaurant. Also nice callback to episode one. Still, it the episode dragged on at times.

This scene was controversial, as many people thought this scene was offensive in this Christmas special, while others thought this scene was appropriate. Was that scene mean-spirited?

The comment just above that comment I referenced was directed towards Marimo. I could perceive from comment >>36829948 that you weren't bothered by the scene apart from the possibility of a "close" relationship.

OpinionatedCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 36830116

Hold on a second, any relationship potential was doomed from the start. Not because they might be related, but because Marble is only as old as Pinkie, and only ponies older than the mane six are allowed to be in a relationship. That's the rule!

Cyan HideCountry code: ponychan.png, country type: customflag, valid: 36830287

This wasn't really a heartbreak. Marble never seemed to 'love' Big Mac. She had a bashful crush on him, and now he has a marefriend.

She's in a bad mood for the rest of the special (it's noticeable) but she's not upset or heartbroken in the slightest.
