It's strange seeing Starlight being evil after two seasons of her trying to reform.

Fluttershy: "Even tweets don't make sense anymore!" Silver Quill: "Did they ever?" OMG!! Even though I don't have Twitter myself I understand that.😁😂

I think if Derpy ever visited this town she would say something like Pinkie said. "I know Muffins. And those Muffins? They're just not right!". I think Starlight was a great villain. She reflects on real world villains rather than comic book ones. In the real world we don't have mustache twirling evil doctors with super powers. We have normal looking people with a dangerous idea who can brainwash an entire population to believe in it. It's kind of a refreshing change of pace.

Also, Spike would be their SOS signal in case Fluttershy failed or something else happened; if he didn't hear from Twilight and the others for a significant period of time, he'd try to send them messages first. When that fails, or if Twilight manages to send him a signal, he'd immediately send Celestia a message out of concern. Celestia would then most likely go to rescue her fellow princess, and then it'd be her versus Starlight. That would be an interesting exchange, actually...

Whom ever was behind you had to follow your lead otherwise the picture would be ruined so you had to not only remember your mark on the football field but to hit it as well. I remember having my named yelled out only to be told I did a good job following the people in front of me (who were a whole foot off) and all but jumping back into place before the song ended rather then be off the mark. (Scared the crap out of me XD) (I also know this video is old but I couldn't help but be reminded of it and comment about my old story)

Not only we would have a possible reoccuring villain, but a counter to the CMCs that I'd like to see interact with them...fillies who want cuties marks and fillies who don't. Could even make so that a « major plot » episode would be centered on the CMC, which would be pretty awesome.

we both always knew that you would end up on a Equestria most wanted, just for different reasons. And I've said it before, but it bears repeating I think not naming the town was a stroke of genius! Think about it, naming the town would just give it a sense of individuality and why bother the town when it is a pure representation of a ideal? But having said that, if it must be called something I vote for caeteris paribus him. You know, I've said this so many times I've virtually copied and pasted it. so something new! Derpy is best guest star pony!

Darn!!! I meant to edit out the rest of that comment!!!!

I think Starlight Glimmer's motive is to be the only one with talents. Just from the way that she speaks, it seems like she has a deep resentment of the talents of others. Maybe she was jealous of abilities she was unable to have. Maybe her lack of certain abilities made her feel inferior. Or maybe she was even made to feel bad about abilities others had that she didn't, whether real or perceived. There's no doubt to me that her ploy is born out of resentment. Also, I hope this town comes back in a later episode, even as a backdrop.

9:26 Fluttershy: "Even Tweets don't make sense anymore!" Silver Quill: ..."Did they ever??"

But even with communism there is a ruling power, otherwise it would never work. True equality is impossible - actually this reminds me of a dystopia I read, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut. The main idea is that everyone is completely equal. People with above average talents must wear handicaps whether mental or physical. Even when everyone was restricted to the same abilities there was still someone in power who didn't have to wear the handicaps and was above the rest. While true communism seems possible in theory, it is impossible in action. The same thing happened here, one ruling person and everyone else below her must follow her command while being equal to the others in most ways.

@RubberyCat

9 жыл бұрын

braingle987 The ruling power in true communism is the people itself, not single characters that has taken the power, or getting voted to have it, but the people as a collective. It do have several failings though, as communism has either gotten implemented in the wrong way or turned into something else when it has been tried.

I was kind of annoyed that Twilight never brought up the obvious point... The point being, Ponies are already Equal, with Their Cutie marks. They are deterministically placed in society by fate, leaving nothing to coincidence. If you by fate are all assured that people have places in society, and that no one will truly suffer for it, then you are already at an equal playing ground...

汩SkylanderDragon You had suggested reading up on Hitler to learn what "a communism" was. I was just saying that wouldn't really help, unless you wanted to read about places where Communists were persecuted.

Oh my gosh. Cutie marks are super powers. Like, they give ponies strength, personality and abilities. They define a pony's path in life. No wonder the CMC wants their cutie marks. Imagine being stuck in a world of superheroes without any powers of your own.

I'm glad someone else called the town a cult too! Seriously, I was flat out stunned they managed to get so much of that stuff into the show! I've watched more than my fair share of true crime shows and the number of times I found myself comparing the actions of the town's ponies to cults left me a little... shocked. I'm not complaining but it was unexpected.

Great After the Fact video, keep up with the amazing work Silver-Quill.

2:20 Spike has a foam CLAW! Not a finger, a claw. 5:01 Theoretically, that could be because of the concept of season 4 in general. Season 4 was about the Mane 6 being tested and realizing that they do represent the elements of harmony even after they had to give the elements back to the tree of harmony. So Pinkie Pie not being so comical in season 4 could be symbolic. Granted, this is just my own fan theory and the writers of the show most likely didn't have this in mind. But it wouldn't be the first time the writers would take a fan theory and turn it canon *cough*the name Derpy Hooves*cough*the term Alicorn*cough*. Sorry for that cough. It is allergy season after all (if it's revealed in the show that somepony is allergic to something, I'm gonna kill somepony). 9:25 I'd make a joke about this. But Silver Quill beat me to it. 10:15 Metal Gear Equestria! ...Actually, that really does sound awesome. (seriously, fuel for fanfic writers and artists) P.S. I'm surprised you didn't point out the "balloonoculars". P.P.S. I want everypony to know that I am the one who came up with the word "balloonoculars".

It's exactly because the episodes not only buck conventions, but does it in a way that improves the story, that this might just be my favourite two-parter.

SILVER QUIIIIIL!!!!! *GLOMPS YOU FROM ACROSS ROOM* OH, how I have missed you and your dry wit combined with intellectual observations!!!!! This is one of the many reasons I couldn't wait for season 5 to start!!!! Welcome back, Bro!....Ny!

12:18 Oh my gosh, you're right! I never noticed that before. A Canterlot Wedding has the opposite problem of Twilight's Kingdom where the Mane 6 were made useless so Princess Cadence and Shining Armor could save the day. Princess Celestia was also too easily defeated by Queen Chrysalis when she tried to fight back, and Princess Luna missed the whole Changeling invasion with no explanation when she was watching for it earlier. I'm glad to see that The Cutie Map managed to find that just-right middle ground where the Mane 6 and other supporting characters actually all contribute something. October 2, 2016, 1:31am

Is that Kelly Sheridan, the voice of Barbie, I hear playing the villan? That's kinda dark considering how many positive characters she's associated with.

I thought it was interesting that Starlight and Sassy were both new roles for Kelly Sheridan in Season 5. She was also Melody in My Little Pony Tales. November 18, 2017, 7:42pm

If you want to see Kelly Sheridan in another villain role go watch LoliRock. She did villain so well in that that I didn't even realize she voiced Praxina until Prax became good for an episode

You have to be one of the funniest, if not the funniest, MLP FIM reviewers I've watched. You inspire me to join youtube. (But I don't know how I'll record) so I have to thank you. Watching your videos always brightens my day, and your videos also helped me get out of a depression type faze. Thank you again Silver Quill, and keep being awesome!

when Sugar Belle says: "we have... muffins" I always think of Derpy

I love the GPS joke you made there.

As for my thoughts on the episode, I thought it was really good. The "perfect, creepy utopia" plotline has always been a personal favorite of mine, and I think they did it really well here. It's usually very disturbing, but mostly in a good way. The comedy was pretty good: Pinkie having to eat all the muffins was really funny, as well as the part with Fluttershy trying to leave Starlight's house to go to the cutie mark vault. It's also a real nice change of pace to have the Mane 6 NOT be the ones to ultimately save the day. (Technically anyway.) Also, I *love* Pinkie's characterization in this episode. Her going all Metal Gear Solid in the beginning, and her constant looks of suspicion in the first half, are fucking hilarious. And considering Pinkie is all about smiles and making people happy, it's perfectly in character for her to be suspicious of how unsettling-ly cheerful everyone is. And of course, being a huge Fluttershy fan, seeing her get to go all solo in the 2nd half of this episode was really cool. :) The song was... all right, but it did at least have a purpose in terms of the story, so I can't harp on it too much. The moral it taught was a really good one as well. Because, honestly, if friends never had disagreements, their friendships would be incredibly boring. I was also really surprised to see that Scott Sonneborn helped write this episode, though that might explain some of the humor. (Since Trade Ya had some funny moments, and while I hate Somepony to Watch Over Me, the song fakeout in that episode was really funny.) Overall, a great start to the season. I'd say, for now anyway, it's tied with Return of Harmony for my favorite season premiere. I'm liking where this season is going so far. The Mane 6 have basically become the Pony, Friendship equivalent of the Knights of the Round Table, and I find that pretty awesome. I have high hopes for the rest of the episodes here. :)

I have no idea why 11:20 puts a smile on my face. Nor why I enthusiastically have it on repeat every so often. Yet I do!

Very good breakdown of the episode, it gives me some more things to think about before judging it

Now you're a fugitive. As a member of royalty, I will be required to bring you in. Don't make me do this to you, Silver Quill!

"Staff of Sameness" = "SOS" Besides, Staff of Sameness sounds way sillier, making Twilight's doubt about the artifact more legit

yea... maybe Celestia isnt going to be the princess of exposition... but she will be completly useless now so she will have no rol at all.

Your reviews are always so profound. Well done, good sir.

"YOUR ONLY MISTAKE, CELESTIA, WAS LEAVING ME MY SPOON!" And people wonder why I love Silver Quill. Starlight as a reoccurring villain? *cough season finale* I haven't seen the finale yet-- I slept in too long and missed it *cries* and so I came to Silver to cheer me up again :)

Sweet x3

Here's a thought that was brought up on the r/mlp. How did Double Diamond get the mane 6's cutie marks, without Starlight's magic?

You know, I appreciate my favorite video on youtube since 3 years ago when silverquill first released it even more now that I can understand the yugioh the abridged series reference.

Of all the different pony analysts and reviewers, I always look forward to your content the most because your delivery is usually so imaginative and fun. This one does not disappoint. Here's to Season 5 and more of your awesome work, Silver Quill!

Double Diamond looks like a pony version of Jack Frost. Change my mind

So here's what I got from this review: Turns out not all two parters follow Silver Quill's formula The Mlp staff decided to spice up season 5 with a good old fashioned cult Muffins? Brainwashing is magic! What a twist! Macintosh The true lesson of the episode is never follow weirdos into caves. The end :)

Thank you for mentioning the "evil overlord trope list" or whatever you call it. I learn so much about different terms and references from you.

Through out the course of the video you explained every reason people watch the show. The fandom, the action, the themes and morals... Great job!

I took it to be about the US school system rather than communism

... First off I totally not not audibly squee when I saw this pop up.. nope not at all. But anyway, YES!! New Silver Quill! The pony season is now officially in full swing. Yes, it was very nice they gave Spike a perfectly legit reason not to come along, and yeah it does make sense, fits perfectly, and.... yeah I'll just stop there before I get into a little rant about a certain other "Analyst".... On Twi's 'autonomy' yeah, totally agree as well. Twi is perfectly happy where she is, has no reason to go searching for adventure. But will go and do whatever she can to help ponies if she learns about there beings those that need her help. As well as simply being part of her character that she is more comfortable following somepony else. That she is more then ready to identify herself by who she follows. While also being perfectly able to take charge of a situation if she needs to. It's a really interesting part of her character that I really do love. "Not Communism" THANK YOU! Got annoying seeing people call it that while showing they really don't get what the word means. And yeah, this is a Cult. Even beyond those points, the entire behavior, how they tried to break the Mane 6 down. Poor food, love bombing potential new members, yeah this was a scarily accurate depiction of a cult. "I said levity, not an invitation for more pain!" But Silver, you know that your pain is the greatest form of levity imaginable to us. Also agree on how great being able to have a smaller scale conflict, that was still tense, exciting, and had a lot of emotional punch. Yeah I love the large, save the world stuff too. But it is nice to have a change, and see they can dial it back and still make such an amazing story. And really dont get why people have an issue with that. Do they want to the show to end up like DBZ? constantly trying to one up the last threat to ridiculous extremes? Damnit Silver... has to be something we can disagree on and get into an endless flame war over.. but yeah The four helping to save the mane 6, while still having the Mane 6 actions mater and be a key part as well. So SO good. Just, this premier was simply amazing all around. As was all the humor here. What a great way to start a day. Just, utter hilarity. Great points and yeah.... worth the wait. So jealous of all you that got to see it in a group.....

His video was decent till that part trying to call out people who refuse other perspectives but end up treating his own people who help him in that group as well. He pretty much accendently hit everybody in so pretty much it he is hated by both sides at the moment.

AnimeWolfgamer See, the issue is, that was not, in the slightest, what that rant came off as. It came off as him bitching about how anyone who does not share his opinion that the episode was shit because of some minor, personal issue of his. Is just some mindless sheep aimlessly praising anything they are told to praise. and how he alone is the one voice willing to call the show the lump of shit it is. Oh... ohhhhh and just though of a nice parallel to his things there. All opinions should be treated equal... but his opinion is the right one. but he's kind of got a history of treating anyone who disagrees with him or takes issue with something he says/does like crap. it was his resonse to people who didn't like that grating, annyoing, make you want to stab out your eardrums voice he used for his EQG review that pretty much was the last straw and make stop giving a fuck about him. Beyond mocking him when he's being idiotic.

7Seraphem7 I will say it is idiotic of him to try to attemp that since I rather he avoid comedy like that. I as well as a few others know what he is mostly saying and I think its gonna stay that way since people on both sides have really gotten angry about it. But however do to his past history, I wouldn't be surprise by that.

Idk why but i love hearing all those screaming from the villains/former villians

I don't think that Starlight was EVER lying. I think she genuinely believed in her idea that ponies had to be equal. The only reason she kept her own cutie mark was so she could use her magic to go through with her plans. It wasn't so she could be above the other ponies.

Silver just had to start the video with making me jelly!!

Starlight is Marik and all the other ponies are her army of steves

One big thing I noticed is that the big examples of the mane 6 being suddenly weak are AJ and RD, who both have athleticism and strength tied to their cutie marks

I love how you caught Party Favor's act of bravery. I think that this whole episode is a great new turn for the series. I wonder if they plan to rotate the usefulness of the main six through each map quest. Pun not intended. Pinkie and Flutter shy starred in this episode which helped tell the story in a decent amount of time and helped build their character. I look forward to good things this season.

I'm surprised silver hasn't gotten killed 😑😑😑😑

This may well be my favorite season opener yet. It introduces so many cool things like the map, the female equivalent of Starswirl, and the fact that unicorns' magic are slightly different depending on where they hail from. Rad!

Hey Silver, I just want to say you've come a long way from when you first started, I remember when I felt a bit bored because you were stuck in the same...shall we say tone dimension? Now you've really branched out, and have gotten so much more entertaining. Also your humor has gotten even better, I thought it was already good but I think you've gotten even better. Keep it up SQ, at this rate, you might have a future in being a review for more then just MLP.

Thank goodness for the hiatus ending! I always enjoy these and I can't wait for more of your two cents on eps.

I'd honestly live to see the support ponies from the town again. They seemed like a good mix of personalities that could play well off of one another for extended periods.

Most people probably already have guessed this, but my theory is that silver quill is at the village to hide out from Celestia and the royal guard to avoid being imprisoned without his trusty spoon.

and we look forward to your reviews of the rest of season 5, great job Sliver

I am so sad that I missed you at BABSCon AND I missed the premier. I was helping staff the con which was rewarding in its own right but meeting you would have been a feather in my cap, so to speak.

12:45 Anyone else believe that that 1 Pale Unicorn with the Reddish Curly Hair & the 3 Leaves for her Cutie Mark bares a strong resemblance to the G1 Pony known as Gusty: the Unicorn who's magic allowed her to conjure up wind?

Until it's said otherwise in the show, I'm calling that "Ower Town". :3

Thank. You. I've been needing a really well done, well thought out and edited review of this episode since it premiered. Moar pls! X3

And that, dearest Silver Quill, is why we never pay extra for a Mad Lib self-destruct.

2:59 You forgot "Go to high school..twice!", then played some clips of Equestria Girls and Rainbow Rocks, but great job, Silver! Thanks for letting me get a picture with you!

love the movie reference with how double diamond threw the stick

I think the lesson was "Your Talent is yours and you can't change that by taking it."

The way Starlight disappeared, I can't help but to think that we'll be seeing more of her later.

I love how Silver Quill has the Deviantart Logo as his "Equilized" cutie mark.

I was watching this in the break room of my job and when he said scary faces the alarm protecting our vault went off! Scared the crap out of me!

Hey, Silver! You forgot to mention that Starlight is the only mlp villain to ever get away!

I really enjoy your reviews.

I loved the premier, it was an interesting twist to their usual mega-villain vs. power of friendship.

We love you, Silver Quill!!!!!

I firmly believe the town is literally called, "our town". It just seems fitting for the song to be, "In our town, in Our Town"

I was there too, and I saw so many equal signs on everybody after the premiere, that I actually wore a not equal sign on my back. That was until I left it on a board in the main lobby, and it was gone from that point on.

Wow, that song warm up was gut wrenching.
