I was wondering the same thing
But I assume it's that since Pinkie was no longer fun loving that he some how ended up there, even though he could have been taken care fo by Fluttershy-pinkie at that point

That really confused me.

So apparently they just accepted Pinkie Pie as their sister/granddaughter because she had apples on her butt?

And did absolutely nothing to help her while she was running the farm into the ground?

Just wondering, what happened to the MyLittleSpaghetti channel on YouTube?

Twilight was seen using them in "it's about time" so was discord in RoH
>Was able to perform the highest level of magics
Discord does this in a snap of the fingers
>Wrote some of the most powerful spells
Discord seems to have no trouble overriding Celestia without the Elements
Muh headcanon part
>StarSwirl created the ability for the EoH to defeat any foe, because the power came from multiple beings
>StarSwirl, due to lack of contact from the outside and the inability to finish his on spells went mad, took a discordulous form and acted as discord.

I don't know if I'm alone here, but I felt extraordinarily underwhelmed by the episode. I really enjoyed the first half, but once it got to the point where Twilight was blasted by the Elements of Harmony, I just found myself repeatedly saying "Really?"

I wasn't in favor of Twilight becoming an alicorn, and at the same juncture wasn't vehemently opposed to it, but this episode left me feeling sort of empty, blank. This show has made me cry in the past multiple times, and usually doesn't fail to elicit some strong emotion from me, but here, it just felt sort of forced and contrived. The show always brings a perpetual smile to my face from start to finish of almost every episode, but here I honestly just felt nothing.

M.A. Larson can pat himself on the back and grandstand all that he wants about what a talented writer he is and how good the episode was going to be, but I just am extraordinarily underwhelmed after having watched it. I don't know if this was something that the writers concocted on their own, though at the very least we know that it didn't appear to be Faust's original plan, but if it was, I really question the wisdom of such a move.

If this was something that Hasbro forced on them, I can definitely understand and sympathize, but this just really didn't do anything for me.

>>8348919
The difference here being that since S3 was a short season, it made the bad episodes stand out more

>>8348963

Sounds like what Twilight could have been if she didn't end up meeting her friends.

Maybe Starswirl was a student also destined to become Celestia's successor, but didn't or even outright refused friendship's providence and potency.

Maybe I'm just crazy.

I almost wonder if they didn't know whether the fourth season was going to be a reality at the writing stage, and wanted to give the series a reasonable conclusion and closure, if it did end up being the final episode? McCarthy alluded to it being part of three episodes, so they're either going to revert her back after discovering the princess life isn't for her, which still allows Hasbro to cash in on the idea itself, or they're going to establish a new tone for the series, with Twilight possibly moving to Canterlot.

On the plus side, at least the series is going to get a definite change of pace and storyline, maybe for the better. I would have liked to see the series carry on as it was, as slice of life stories likely could have been carried on a little bit farther, but there would be a point where it gets stale.

I don't know, maybe I'm in the minority. It will be interesting to see how reactions break down, and to read a little bit more in depth about how other people feel about the situation.

no, it's the episode I enjoyed most all season

>>8348927
FUCK YOU IT HAS A HEART OF GOLD

In my opinion, this season was much more stable than the previous one

The overall quality of the episodes was much more balanced, with nothing on it that could be compared to the owl episode or MMDW

I didn't like the episode. I didn't like how it ended at all.

But if McCarthy says it makes sense and/or is better when put alongside a couple S4 episode and/or the movie, I can be patient and wait for it to play out.

Hate to say it, but I'm disappointed. The episode was a wash as far as I'm concerned. I can't form an opinion about anything that happened because the episode rushed everything so badly there's hardly any connecting tissue to relate what happened back to the world and established norms of the show. Maybe they are going to flesh that out later - but if this was intended to be an arc it certainly wasn't written like one.

Episode synopsis - stuff happened, now Twilight is an Alicorn Princess.

I love how none of her friends skip a beat when she pops up as an Alicorn... it's like she showed up in a pretty new dress.

>>8349174
Yeah, that's what I mean, this season had a lot more meat than the previous ones.

Magic Duel, Discord episode, SiP, AFR...I dunno, it seemed more like a real show instead of unconnected horse episodes

Personally I like to think that Sombra was the last Unicorn King who did not want to relinquish power when Celestia and Luna took over, and fled abroad, ending up corrupted and conquering the super beta, err crystal ponies single handedly.

At least that seems more interesting to me than "oh my god I fucking love crystals, time to enslave some shiny little magic horses"

>>8349093

I thought she meant that we'd seen a third of the episode via the numerous previews.

LET'S USE OUR IMAGINATIONS!

Imagine that
You didn't know the episode was a musical
Imagine that you didn't know that Twily was going to become a Twilycorn

Imagine how you would have felt when it opened with a song
When Twily exploded

Hasbro's previews ruin the show

>>8349231
>it seemed more like a real show instead of unconnected horse episodes
That was something I felt was missing from Season 2.
Season 1 did a decent job of connecting things, and keeping it flowing, but Season 2 didn't seem to have enough of it.

That's not to say Season 2 was bad, but just felt different.

>>8349258
>implying you wouldn't enslave shiny little magic horses given the chance

>>8349263
Nope. She said we "won't see parts 2 and 3 for a while."

Enough to confirm eps 1+2 of S4 are a two-parter at least.

>>8349287
>Hasbro's previews ruin the show
truth

>>8349263
The only part that's off about that idea is that she said we'd have to wait for a little while. Whether that meant less than 24 hours or eight months is yet to be seen, I guess.

>>8349287
I would have been out-of-my-mind angry when Princess Twilycorn happened. Just... livid. Screaming at my monitor.

The previews and spoilers softened the blow a bit.

I personally think that the best S3 episodes don't compare to the best S1 and S2 episodes. Not to say that they aren't good, but they don't reach that level by much. JSF is pretty close though

>>8349287
Yeah, it would have been much more powerful and enjoyable if we hadn't suspected Twilycorn since before the season started.

>>8349287
I didn't watch the previews and basically ignored people talking about it be it musical or alicorn.

I enjoyed it, and there were enjoyable parts. But it had a poor ending and a poor concept as well as being too much to fit into 22 minutes (even though they did a decent job of pacing).

>>8349287
>Imagine how you would have felt when it opened with a song
Aw man, a musical? Well at least the song's not bad.

>RIP Twily

>>8349287
I actually kept myself locked away from the spoilers beyond the idea that twileycorn was somehow involved. The whole of the episode was a very pleasant chain of surprises.

>>8349331
It's alicorn twilight with dark magic

>>8349299
The only small nods to continuity between S2 episodes were RD reading a book in another ep and a sighting of the baby cakes a couple of times.

It's just not enough when compared to S1 building up to the gala over a few episodes.

>>8349334
Fucking this.
My favorite S3 episodes are Magic Duel, Sleepless, JFS, and 2muchponk4u. None of them are even close to as enjoyable as my favorite S1 and S2 episodes.

Pretty much. Every season has had its ups and downs.

Quality in S1 was all over the place because the writers were still trying to take a hold of the whole thing

I mean, the pilot is really fucking awful when you rewatch it

>>8348993
But Starswirl had students before Celestia even came to Equestria?

>>8349352
Yeah, be ready to produce A LOT of songs

I'm sorry to be that guy that just has to keep complaining, but there are some things that just don't sit well with me...I'm gonna focus on just one real annoyance that I can't shake, at least for now.

I can forgive Hasbro some meddling, even if I cringe at how ham-fisted and unnatural it seems when they go over the heads of the artists. They're a business and at the end of the day they're out to make a profit. Princesses sell better than students, and even if that sends some unfortunate messages to children, it's the dollar that wins the day. I understand that they're a business and I understand MLP's nature as a primarily merchandise-driven show.
I can deal with the dozens of reasons I feel the entire change was a poor (or at least unnecessary/premature) idea, because I have faith in the show staff to deliver quality regardless, and I can simply create a headcanon that satisfies the majority of my concerns that will likely never be approached in the show's canon.

I know that Twilight will still be herself, she'll remain with her friends, and the world won't end. That's pretty much the best result, and the one that most of us were hoping for anyway.

Now this is the part where I'm not entirely certain, though. First, I can't help but feel that if the status quo prevails, that the ascension is...cheapened in a way, as though it happened for the sake of happening. I know this is gonna sound unfounded and ridiculous in the absence of hard evidence, but the whole thing absolutely reeks of executive meddling, and that's a massive peeve of mine. I believe that the wings are there because Hasbro wanted them there; no more, no less. And while they (apparently) won't change much, it's jarring to me to see a constant, visible reminder of corporate/executive presence, in every single shot Twilight is in from now on. 'There's Twilight Sparkle and there are her Hasbro wings.'

>>8349374
>It's just not enough when compared to S1 building up to the gala over a few episodes.

And this is why BNE is still the best season finale. Had they repeated this with ACW it would've beaten it, but it didnt so it's just a mediocre episode with a great song and a good villain

Yeah, I know this sounds like pointless, melodramatic, unfounded whining or nitpicking. I'm not gonna stop watching the show or ragequit the fandom; actually I'm pretty optimistic, complaints about meddling aside. This is a personal reason to be upset and I don't expect many of you to share it, but it bothers me enough to write a pointless essay about it.

tl;dr version I'm relieved and optimistic for the future of the show. I'm not entirely happy because I'm not convinced this change was the will of the artists, and I don't like seeing art shackled by pursuit of profit. No, I have no hard proof of Hasbro's meddling. No need to lynch me, just sharing an opinion.
