Toffee. Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 This episode was pretty incredible-[spoiler=Because...]Fear and Loating in Las Vegas:Starwars(Second time, heh):Harry Potter:And that's not even all of it.[/spoiler]And this was basically the highlight of the whole episode:Also-............http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQKKj_qeOBQBut seriously, though. We were discussing Equestria Girls/2, when today's episode has a cameo from, of all possible characters, Brad.So it's safe to say the movie is now canon, given the fact he gave Twilight this look, just to reinforce that. I mean, we all basically had the idea the movie wasn't canon, but, you know, WILD FLASH APPEARED- The fanbase is going crazy over this, and I find it rather hilarious.In all seriousness, though, and looking at it again, I'm not surprised they did this. I mean, if they ARE going to make that second movie, then might as well say Flash is canon, and get it over with.So, YCM, whats your opinion on Flash/Equestria Girls being canon?

Jake the Sage Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I actually always thought that Equestria Girls was cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 I actually always thought that Equestria Girls was cannon. Equestria Girls IS canon. It's just not cannon (unless if you count the fans who were upset with the movie). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Equestria Girls IS canon. It's just not cannon (unless if you count the fans who were upset with the movie). Okay so I misspelled that . . . cut me some slack (>3>) I personally never could hate on the movie that much, though I admit it could've been done better, because it is what got me into the show.

I loved the movie as well. I was skeptical because has there ever been a good high-school-related movie in the past (and Mean Girls doesn't count)? Yet, like the show, it managed to change my mind by actually setting itself apart from other movies of the genre. Also, many people spell 'canon' as 'cannon.' A cannon gif is how I just break people's backs on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 No, see... The issue with Equestira Girls and it being canon or not, wasn't so much the movie itself, but rather... It was the fact the movie was available in a rather limited amount and/or it was in select theaters only. So with that knowledge, you could always have NOT seen it, and would be still be up to date with the show regardless. You all remember, right? The movie was only shown in like, what, 1 out of every 402 locations? I mean, why else did the fanbase sneak camera into the theaters? They WANTED everyone else to see it, for those of us who wanted to, despite not being actually able to. The fact I could have seen it in theaters is irrelevantTHEN ALL OF THE CHANGED WHEN THE BRAD NATION ATTACKEDNo, seriously, because Flash is now ACTUALLY canon, it means he might show up some more. So as a result, your now more obligated to see that movie, just for that.So yes, people only said it wasn't canon because of it's limited showings, and really nothing else. I mean, it's a fair assumption, since, as I already mentioned, it had limited showings. So why consider it canon if only 5% of the planet could actually see it? But anyway, that was before. Now, it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Sage Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Also, an upcoming episode seems to be what happened to Fluttershy during the events of Three's A Crowd, á la Games Ponies Play/Just for Sidekicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I knew to look for something coming from Flash, so I definitely noticed his little look at Twilight. D'awww. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 You know I'm surprised that the analytic community, and the fandom in general, is harping so badly on "Three's A Crowd". yeah it could've been better but it wasn't such a horrible episode that fans need to, pardon the horrible pun, constantly beat a dead horse.

The Warden Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Discord is such a well loved character; but the episode wasn't using him to his full potential. He was done well in the S4 E1 because he was acting out his trope, which is that of a Jerkass Genie. In this episode, he's just, whiny and needy. (Though it begs the question as to how the malefic hell a supernatural entity like him even gets sick.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Though it begs the question as to how the malefic hell a supernatural entity like him even gets sick. For the plot. Hell! I don't know . . . I had come to the conclusion he had full control over his own existence until I saw that he had gotten sick. Even before he really got sick all I saw with the "blue flu" was him using it as an excuse to have Twilight give him attention. That was more or less what I saw in this episode, Discord trying to get attention from anyone around; and mildly screw with Twilight while he was at it. I'm more disappointed Princess Cadence didn't get more lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 See, that was the problem: Discord was being an attention seeker. He was being whiny and needy like a 3 year old; which isn't really befitting the nature of a trickster who can literally bend reality to his will. It's just really unfortunate to see Discord, literally their best villain, suffer such villainous decay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just really unfortunate to see Discord, literally their best villain, suffer such villainous decay I don't mind Discord seeking attention or even going, in his own way, to try and make more friends with the mane six. I liked his interactions with the others and seeing how their personalities bounced off of him. I'll agree with Digibrony though and say that the entire episode would have been a lot better if it had just been focused on the other five trying to occupy him so that he can't ruin Twilight and Princess Cadence's day together.

It's just really unfortunate to see Discord, literally their best villain, suffer such villainous decay It's true that Discord was acting childish and needy, but that's pretty acting as to who he is really; a prankster and troll who even "reformed" still likes to mess around with Twilight and the other Mane 6. If he was actually being whiny and needy I would have imagined the episode to be more annoying in my view more than in Twilight's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 He was acting that way to try and ruin Twilight and Cadence's day, it's not like that's who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, he gunned his attention after Twilight and Cadence just to troll them. No matter what he said, he did what he did just for the lulz of just ruining Twilight's day. When he found out that he [i]didn't[/i] ruin their day, then he put on a visible frown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he does have a slight thing for her. It wasn't so much of a plot-driven episode like when he was reformed, or when the evil plants took over Equestria.....Or something like that.

The Warden Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Out of curiosity, have you guys read any of the comics?

Shradow Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 After a few seconds of Google searching, [url=http://friendshipismagic.smackjeeves.com/archive/]this site[/url] has the comics, though only up to Issue #9. I'm sure if I Google for about 5 more seconds I could find the other issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toffee. Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 ....Apparently YouTube has some of the comics, in video form. Got done reading the Nightmare Rarity one. Never really noticed this before, but that arc is really damn cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
