The brother, changelings, and background was just fantastic. And thank you for the kind words! Sometimes I need them 😭💙

2024-05-05 09:06:04 +0000 UTC"A Canterlot Wedding" the two-parted Series finale of Season 2 starts with new characters, a great suspenseful buildup of conspiracy, distrust and a looming thread against Canterlot - just to follow up with a surprising revelation, unexpected action and a great finale! - Rounded up with nice Songs and a reminiscent feeling of old Disney-Movies. - It is Masterpiece in my eyes! We get to know more about Twilight - For once she has a brother called "Shining Armor", who is the "Big-Brother-Best-Friend-Forever" (BBBFF) of Twilight and Captain of the Royal Guard, who was never introduced before and not even mentioned once by Twilight towards her friends before. - And for another "Princess Mi Amore Cadenza" called "Cadence" who is according to Twilight the "greatest foal-sitter in all the history of foal-sitters" and a flying Unicorn like Celestia with the power to spread love wherever she goes. The finale provides us with 3 great Songs - Daniel Ingram and all the singers did a great Job! - especially that Duet between Chrysalis and Cadence was a masterful work of art. Also, we get more world-building by introducing the Changeling's - a hive-race of bug-like ponies who are able to change into everyone they want and need to feed on the love of others - Above all "Queen Chrysalis", who is the leader of said Race and tries to take over Canterlot. Which was luckily thwarted by Twilight's observational instinct and the love between Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. Speaking of Princess Cadence, we have another winged unicorn-Pony besides Celestia and Luna, who are regarded as Gods in Equestria - this raises a lot of questions... Sadly, best Princess (Luna) seemed to have been busy with other royal duties elsewhere or was just resting from her nightshift and couldn't be the hero of the day. Some further notes/thoughts/facts: Where is your fainting couch rarity!? At least Twilight is here to help you out with a pillow. XD Twilight has a BROTHER?! That was never mentioned to the audience or her friends before... :O Love that Shining calls her "Twily" though, that is too sweet. The first song about her Brother - being her first Friend she ever met - is so sweet... Is that a strange Bubble around Canterlot that i recognize in the distance? Yeah, AJ is truly a pillar you can lean on. (Some would say the mother of the group). Holy shit, Twilight is pissed and disappointed. Yeah there is a bubble, a force field around Canterlot due to a thread, maintained by Shining Armor - He also seems to be pretty powerful with his magic. - seems to be inherent in Twilights family Shipping Twilight with Shining... i dunno... even though some pretend that both aren't real siblings it's just silly 🤭 Princess Cadence spreads Love whereever she goes... so like Cupid? - Well i dont think it's forced love, i think it just helps and enhances established relationships. BTW. the Ponies having an argumentin Twilights memory are Lucky Clover and Wild Fire - Wild Fire is an OC of Sabrina Alberghetti a Storyboard artist. - They often put OC of staffs in some scenes. Your first hunch with a clone was close. Cadences (Chrysalis) Magic-Glow color does look different to the flashback, that could have been a huge giveaway. - But its established that this glow is just a visual effect for the viewers, which cant be seen by normal Ponies. The bridesmaids are Lyra Heartstrings (you know her ;)), Twinkleshine and Minuette. That her friends weren't concerned, is understandable, but that they even didn't bother to consider Twilights suspicions was "lesson zero" all over again. - Still, considering how upset she was the whole time with her brother... it could have been taken as posessive behaviour. Holy shit does Twilight have a devilish Smile... 😈 The first confrontation at the wedding-room wasnt the best way to go about it... Shining Armor's explanation is reasonable and plausible... - no wonder noone took Twilights side, she wouldnt have either - it had to backfire at this point. Even Celestia is mad about her, after that followes one of the saddest moment for Twilight, the complete abandonment by all. - Well played Chrysalis... well played. The moment when Chrysalis came back to Twilight to comfort her - she got me for a moment to also believe, that Twilight was wrong. - Until she showed her true face and banned Twilight into the catacombs below Canterlot where she finds the real Cadence. That Duet is a great Song - why do villain-songs always sound so good!? And there she is, revealed as Queen Chrysalis - a changeling and the queen of her hive of Bug Ponies. Unexpectedly she isn't alone - there is a whole Army waiting :o She has a real unique and cool design - Some lovely refer to her as "Queen Cheese" due to her cheese-like holes XD Celestia steps in, but is unexpectedly taken down fast - some say she is weak, but in this case it was established that the love Crissy took from Shining Armor was greater than the magic of one of the greatest rulers! Even Chrysalis herself couldn't believe this. - That just shows how much Shining loved Cadence. The fight between the Changelings and the Mane 6 was a mindfuck with all the Changelings pretending to be any of the Mane 6. Love Pinkies shenanigans and turning Twilight into a magical beamrifle :D Also unexpected to see the Mane 6 truly fighting and kicking ass XD REPRISE-Time! Its a lovely scene between cadence and shining armor! Love your comparistion to a Dual avatar (love) state XD The changelings got pushed away, not destroyed. RD did an upward Sonic Rainboom! She got so much better. Another great song with Pon-3 and Twilight! Its very catchy. "...my love for you is how it started and my love for you is how it ended..." - Learning to trust your instincts is a valuable lesson to learn. - But one of the shortest and somewhat lacking in comparison to other episodes in my opinion. - it felt as if it was just there for the sake of an existing lesson. It was one of the the first episodes that truly got me aswell as many others stuck towards MLP and made us to Bronies so to speak. It was an all time high ride with much Fan-Content (Music, Animations, Fictional Stories etc.) which i didn't regret 'til today. The characters in this show are one of the best ever, it's truly rare to find another show with such referable and lovely characters. You're one of the best reactors out there, you provide good reacions paired with great insight and eye for the topic which is really rewarding to watch. Thank you for this wonderful reaction. 💙

2024-05-04 00:22:33 +0000 UTCThat sounds like it would’ve been so epic! Can’t blame them. Some amazing stuff. Crazy action with celestia and the ponies fighting. Yes she’s super strong and she was tied down which makes sense why she couldn’t be of use. I wanted Luna to come in so bad 😂 That is true we haven’t gotten much besides the cutie mark and parents. I need to look at the parents 😂. And that ship… yeah I only said that since they didn’t look alike so I’m off that train 😂 Yeah it’s a bit frustrating. Tbh at the time I did this I had no idea anyone was doing this show since I was going off of my pilot program success. Maybe should have checked. Or maybe I should’ve started it right as I saw success rather than wait a month. I don’t have any problem for patreon since it’ll go as long as people are here but I do think Youtube might stop seeing it after the movie. But yes I did enjoy and was impressed. And I do love more concise and smaller seasons so I’m super excited! Can’t wait to get into S3!!!

2024-04-30 08:37:51 +0000 UTCThis season finale is so amazing so many people became bronies and stuck with the show after this one, people had group meet ups for this finale, it was so epic and also some of the best music in the show, felt like a Disney movie, and it does get better which is crazy, the action scene was awesome nobody expected that, some people complained that celestia was weak during this but she’s not and it goes to show how strong the changeling queen is and the changelings are, the love makes them even stronger, also nobody expected twilight to have a brother but again we don’t really know a lot about twilights personal life, the show hadn’t gone into her backstory, I’m so glad you’ve stuck with Mlp idk why it hadn’t preformed well on YouTube, I was thinking it’s because other reaction channels are also doing Mlp and they have lots of viewers so I’m sure it’s taking up some who could be watching your channel, ohh and funny enough you said people ship twilight and shining armor lmao there was a joke parody abridged series that was really popular back in the day that shipped them together the whole concept was that it said they weren’t biologically related so it was okay 😂 and everyone was like nah still very weird, the series was pretty outrageous and funny, but again this finale was so awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s some people’s favorite finale in the show, also season 3 is really good I think you’ll enjoy it just as much!
