  • My blind commentary reaction to Episode 9 of Season 5 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Slice of Life
    So here it is... the big 100th episode. Commence the pandering (seriously though, it was fun).
    Hope you like the commentary. Let me know if you do.
    My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is the work of Hasbro and DHX. My Little Pony and all related characters belong to Hasbro. I own only my voice.

      RavinKaito Despite the fact that in Lyra's most famous bench-sitting scene, where she sat like a human in Dragonshy, she was sitting beside SOMEONE ELSE.

    And now Bon Bon's constant voice changes make sense. I wasn't expecting her to be an agent of all things. Her and Gummy's scene killed me. Also , there is a split second where you can see a small shark under the wub machine when it jumped in the air. They literally jumped the shark. I love puns, especially visual ones! All in all, a fun 100th episode. Even with the pandering, though that may have been the point.

    • @edenchyun5817

      But it really seemed they were a background character. I mean, all the main focus was on Chrysalis, while her army took over Canterlot...

    • @RubberyCat
      @RubberyCat Před 9 lety

      Dulcet Tone My impression, is that there haven't been much Brony content on the Lebowski ponies, so why make them a noticeable part? I think it is because some of the staff also are fans of the show in a way ... and also fans of The Cohen Brothers (or at least Jeff Bridges, but I do think it is the Cohens).

    • @redemption2
      @redemption2 Před 9 lety

      RubberyCat
      Even so, I would think they'd take the opportunity to use established canon. Jeff Latrotski is an official name in the Gameloft game, as is Bon Bon and Lyra. In fact, in Party Pooped, Bon Bon and Lyra are playing with the exact same ball as in the ball bounce minigame, so its not like the animation staff is unaware.

      ***** That's only your interpretation of what I said. It's not my fault that you came to a different conclusion than what I was intending.
      The fact of the matter is the "jumping the shark" is an overused trope (especially with this show). I was simply pointing out the moment the show made fun of that. You may note that I said "literally". I don't use that word in a metaphorical sense. I did mean literally.
      Just to be clear here. I did really enjoy this episode, but what if I didn't? What you're saying is that I am not entitled to a different opinion from your own. That I should, as you say, "shut up" if I don't comply to your standards.

    Not gonna lie, I think the part that really threw me for a loop was Gummy's inner monologue. It's at that point that I paused the episode and walked out of my room for a few minutes. The references and nods to the fandom just kept escalating that I honestly wondered when it would end.
    For real though I think the part that stood out to me the most was Celestia and Luna's interactions with one another. While it was brief it really does make me wish we could get an episode dedicated to just the Princesses

    • @raritydash1376
      @raritydash1376  Před 9 lety +7

    Regarding the Doctor- he was always intended as a Doctor Who reference since the beginning, long before the fandom picked up on it. There are countless interviews with show staff where they mention it. It would have been more unusual for them not to run with it in this episode. The fan reference here is him working with Derpy.

    • @raritydash1376
      @raritydash1376  Před 9 lety +4

      Aryanne Berlin My problem isn't so much with the pandering in and of itself, but more with the fan reaction it sometimes get. It can feed into the more self-important attitudes out there.
      I think it's mostly just memories over that whole Derpy situation back in season two and the uglier attitudes which surfaced from some fans there. I don't know. This was a fun episode regardless of anything else.

    • @aryanneberlin4481
      @aryanneberlin4481 Před 9 lety +2

      RarityDash You'll get those kinds of fans anywhere. Those that believe that their headcanons are Gods before DHX and that Hasbro has to animate them or be boycotted. As you can see, DHX is being a bit rough on those. Lyra and Bonbon best friends. Vinyl not having a voice and Derpy not even having her name anymore. It's certainly pandering with caution.
      I'm just glad you enjoyed it. Seemed like you weren't enjoying it and I even thought you were rolling your eyes at the episode for its blatant pandering. It's kinda thick in some parts but I love these kinds of episodes.

    This episode lol. The pandering was REAL, but appreciated. I never felt like the BG ponies had much of a personality, and so i could never really get attached to them the way others could. I never attached fan-made trivia to the show's actual canon, so the BG ponies were pretty bland. While this was pandering, it gave me some canon material to chew on, and in the process made the BG ponies much more memorable.

    this episode... i loved it, everything about it was perfect in my eyes, i mean all the characters were really great,
    i loved Vinyl and Octavia's music combo, it was lovely,
    Bon Bon and Lyra were great, love what they did there,
    and who side was the changeling with, bride or groom?
    and Derpy, i REALLY LOVE WHAT THEY DID TO HER, i mean they gave her a better voice and probably the biggest role in this episode, i hope they will do more with her in the future, but that maybe asking too much,
    anyway great reaction dude, really enjoyed

    Three things people may not have noticed:

    2.) Vinyl and Octavia literally "jump the shark". Don't believe me? Go back and look for yourself.
    3.) The remix dubstep is "Flight of the Bumblebee"- fitting seeing as the monster is part bee.

    • @Antroid
      @Antroid Před 9 lety +1

      RarityDash Surely you can't claim that it was written well. Everyone I've ever seen loving MMC mostly did so because they were emotionally affected by it (with the help of Celestia's ballad or the other songs, usually), not because it was written well in general.
      It has such glaring problems that it's not even funny.

    • @raritydash1376
      @raritydash1376  Před 9 lety +1

      I think it's written fine. it tells a complete, compact story mostly through music, which is perfectly fine with me.

    • @Antroid
      @Antroid Před 9 lety +1

      RarityDash "Compact" is right. It doesn't tell anything you wouldn't have been able to read in an episode synopsis. That's my problem with it. There's so many vital questions completely ignored (like about the actual functionality of the spell Twi made, or what Starswirl was intending it to be, or if anypony else in town could tell that the CMs were switched, etc), there's Twilight's "their true selves have been altered" when it's pretty openly just their memories - which she denied (plus her explanation of what she wanted to do to fix it was super janky and awfully worded), there's the fact that Rarity's and RD's cutie marks don't actually mean the things they were doing in the episode, there's a complete lack of beliveable reactions from anyone to anything, most of all the mane6's to Twilight's alicornhood (they just basically shrugged at it as if it was no biggie)...
      "The cutie marks have been switched, Twilight is sad, Twilight fixes it based on a shot in the dark guess, Twilight makes a new spell, Twilight is now a princess" is not a complete story. And the episode is pretty much that + songs, which apparently manage to hide from many people just how absolutely barebones and hole-ridden the episode is.

      I'm not really interested in arguing the point since really it's a matter of opinion.
      All it comes down to really is that I don't personally care about those things and don't feel the lack of explanation when it comes to them is a fault. It's simply not important to me. Time spent on exposition would detract from the greater picture of it, which yes, to me does feel like a complete story even if it can be explained in simple terms ( so can essentially any episode)

  • @rschmalz3977

    Our fandom dreams have come true thanks to Hasbro. I was laughing mostly because of how much Hasbro went into the entire fandom. We see Octavia and Vinyl's argument for beginners, then trues into a duel. We also see Button Mash, I was thrilled to see him. At prior to the end, we see a Changling, Their cannon now?! Now their cannon?! SERIOUSLY, YOU COULDN'T MAKE THEM CANNON IN SEASON 3?!
    After the entire episode, I was just like. "What was that? I mean seriously though it was funny, astonishing and hilarious. Great job, Hasbro!"

    BTW, funny little thing that was pointed out to me about the Lebowski ponies. Notice how after the bowling alley scenes, the Donny pony isn't actually at the wedding, only Walter and The Dude are. And not only that, but at the wedding the Walter pony is carrying what looks like a coffee can. If you've seen the Big Lebowski, you might understand the rather unfortunate implications there...

    @megatron1384 Před 9 lety +13

    I haven't gotten to your actual reaction yet, I've just listened to the prologue and your concerns. And to be honest, I couldn't agree with you more. While I did enjoy this episode, I do agree that this sort of blatant pandering towards the, as you called them, "entitlement" parts of the fan base is VERY risky, and this episode is 22 minutes of pandering and making official all of these "accepted" fanfics, shippings, and head canons. It runs the risk of making the fans feel some sort of ownership towards the property, which is something that many already do. And they DON'T own anything, and they aren't entitled to anything. This fandom has gotten a bit too into themselves the last 2 years, and it is starting to get at me.

    • @raritydash1376
      @raritydash1376  Před 9 lety +3

      megatron1384 Yeah. Totally in agreement. I really enjoyed this episode, as you'll find out watching the reaction--it was a joy to watch and I think the show crew did an excellent job of approaching fan elements in the right way and just having fun with it all... but I can't help but still kind of get the feeling that there are elements of the fandom who will take it the wrong way and just see it as validation for their already inflated sense of self-importance.

    • @megatron1384
      @megatron1384 Před 9 lety +1

      I think your feeling is obviously gonna be correct. I saw a similar thing with the end of Legend of Korra with how fans reacted. While I liked that as well, and actually thought it was a possibility from season 2 of that show, the same kind of thing happened. People who wanted it to go that way were rather... pleased with themselves for it; as it they had some sort of effect on the outcome. It certainly is something to be concerned about, and while it was fun, I would warn the crew of MLP to NOT be so eager to indulge the fandom like this too often. The old "don't feed the bears" situation

    • @raritydash1376
      @raritydash1376  Před 9 lety +1

      megatron1384 Interesting. I watched and loved Legend of Korra, but I never paid a bit of attention to the fandom. The series ending, it absolutely thrilled me since it was what I had wanted to happen really since season one... but to assume the attitude that we as fans are responsible for the choices the writers have made is pretty ridiculous.
      In this case it's clear that the episode was rather influenced by fans, which yeah, I'm not sure was the best call on Hasbro's part (someone else told me it was Hasbro's decision to treat the fans like this and not even Larson was a fan of the idea). We'll see what happens I guess.

  • @tenofprime
    @tenofprime Před 9 lety

    I loved this episode, it was pandering of the best kind, where the writers know exactly how seriously to take the idea. If I were to guess the only directives other than "have fun" was to not use names at all unless they have to, even the use of "doctor" could be argued to just be a title/job rather than a proper name. All that said the argument between the princesses was my favorite part, it is so nice to see them out of the regalia, away from the guards and just having the kind of argument any siblings could at a wedding over a mixup on the gift. It is why I like well written Celestia/Luna slice of life stories, we so rarely get to see them just being sisters.

    Final thoughts: My favorite parts were Gummy being deep, Special Agent Sweetie Drops, the Lebowski ponies, arguing Princesses and the glorious return of Steven Magnet.
    The Dr, Who references were a little much, and Crying Armor was somewhat offputting.
    Otherwise, everything else was fun, overall a very good episode.

    I usually have a problem with to much pandering (btw, am i the only one who thinks that the bugbear looks like a panda?). But it is the 100th episode, they are traditionaly more a celebration of fandoms and the show without taking itself to serious (i point at the 100th episode of Sargate as a example). So I have no problem in this episode with it. Specialy becaus it has that sureal funny touch and it is not a smiple chain of Memes, there are a lot of things that are different takes on Memes or are somthing without "Fandombacking". All in all just a fun episode that takes itself not to serious.

    • @Narrator007

    Might be worth you watching ACRacebests convention vlog, "M.A. Larsons deconstruction of Episode 100" quite an interesting insight into how Hasbro, DHX and the writers made the episode and what didn't make it in. Not sure if it is reaction worthy since it is literally a video of a convention panel with Larson at MLP:MSP.

    if you're wondering where the changeling came from I have a theory that cranky met with him while he was traveling. If you recall at the end of season 2 when the changelings were blasted away one of them landed in the forest instead of the badlands. This means the season finale would have to happen before a friend in deed, but there was a moment in dragon quest where spike was on a raft with cranky. its a weird theory but it would explain why he was there(im spreading this theory around so if you see it someplace else that's why)
