Sugar Cube Corner [Reboot]: Bronies of YCM

I'm sure everyone has watched the final episode already, so I'll just post my analysis anyways.

 

This episode made me have mixed feelings. First off, it basically puts off the cliche lesson of "friendship is important", but how can that persist when a character becomes a higher rank than her friends? And the ending I have to admit, was very nice. So nice that it seemed like the series ended. Which gives me some doubts on Season 4. Since they ended on that note, what's the main moral going to be now for Season 4? In this Season, we got to see more character development, even with the side ones getting their own filler. But I honestly don't know. Is Rainbow Dash ever going to be a Wonderbolts member? What kinds of things are in store for Rarity and her business? Will Pinkie ever keep Ponyville happy? Will Fluttershy ever become more intimate with other ponies? Is one of the CCC ever going to f***ing get their Cutie Marks?! And so on and so forth. Seeing the incomplete character development in Season 3, I'm expecting more, but I dunno if it's going to be fresh and ending MLP at a good note.

 

Anyways, in honesty, this season was the worst out of the others, due to either the small number of episodes, or the choices of episode content. There were a ton of songs, which some are quite forgettable and others fantastic (True Friends was freaking amazing). The villain was dull as a totalitarian king and lacked some character compared to Chrysallis and Discord. Just an emissary of evil and terror with the cliche of darkness and shadows. And as said earlier, most character's potentials are still not at their fullest yet. And seeing Twilight throughout the whole series, I almost had to shed liquid pride for her; She really has come a long way through the series. What I hope for the next (or maybe the last season) is that I want it to end with a bang. The feeling that I get when my favorite anime series ended and went into a long depression. I hope to see some characters truly fulfill their destiny, and I hope Hasbro continues off of this Season's ending correctly.

 

And here's some image dumps from me:

Yup, it looks like I'm not the only one who thought of the bad wardrobe designs in this episode.

Yeah... It was an alright season, but it wasn't as good as the others. As for songs, I normally do like the songs in the show, but season 3 was... lacking. True Friends was beautiful, though, I agree. Like you said, this season was too short, and the episode content wasn't that great. Season 2 was probably my favorite, and that's usually the general consensus.

 

Really, both the finale and the season opener should have been 2-3 parters, like the last ones.

Season3 is like Mass Effect 3.

 

It had some good parts, okay parts, bad parts, and then came the ending.

 

=

 

Now, if I have no talked about the episode, I'll give my two cents.

 

 

The episode seemed like 2 episodes squished together. I thought it was too fast paced. Now, don't get me wrong, I like a well paced episode of a show or movie, but this was almost like:

 

 

Part 2, Part 3, Part 1, Part 4, Part 3, Part 4. I fell like the way how they told how they got switched up was too odd. "Oh, there's this spell that no one knows what it does. BETTER DO IT!" Now, in the show's defense, that is the scientific method, so that would work for her.

 

 

Also, why didn't the Apple family try to help Pinkie-jack? Also, Pinkie in this one was cute. Soooo, goddamn cute. I love her hair like this, and so does /mlp/ when they're not bitching about everything, along with /r/mylittlepony and /r/mlplounge, when they don't post images from the show.

 

 

I liked the Alicorn transformation scene, showing off all the episode's effects on her.

 

 

And now leads to the question: How are we going to have normal Twilight back?

I actually liked the experimentation in this season, and I liked Sombra, they could have done more with him. Too bad he didn't get to be the villain of a movie.

 

So, The elements shoot Twilight, she appeared into Youtube, greeted by Celestia the Great Will of the Macrocosm. Then she enters our world again reminding me of the Digimon Adventure finale, and they don't seem to have the elements anymore (her princess crown is different).

I remember during first season someone asked what somepony like Dash was lacking, so she isn't yet in the Wonderbolts.

 

Back then I remember answering something about how she's good at flying solo, but she never trains with others, so she can't really coordinate a team flight, and that's kinda the Wonderbolts' thing. She would lack patience to keep the same pace as the slower members of her team, and would always try to show off.

 

Cue Wonderbolts Academy and the Lightning Dust character. She fits well my idea of season 1 Dash, and shows me the important yet subtle changes in Dash's personality after bonding with her friends.

Considering the fact Dash had no actual training, and pretty much lives off her self-taunt flying(or at least, thats what were getting it)
Its still pretty funny how she manages to be the fastest flier.

Anyway...

These two made me smile:

SWAG.mov has such a stark contrast when compared to the others; This one is happy, and hardly ever morbid..... Its almost scary.
(Aside from usual language, of course)

Dash saving the day, in such a badass manner, I absolutely loved it.

Also, my posts here hardly go without a silly image attached, so:

I wonder what is Twilight's idea of romance. She was raised in Canterlot, mostly in the castle itself, among the nobles. She surely considers arranged marriage as something normal. About marrying without love, well, for her love must be something that can be added later with magic, considering she has knowledge of the existance of love potions, and she was raised by Cadance, who made her seem the alteration of emotions as something good.
