S06E16: 28 Pranks Later

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Aug 10, 2016 3:14 pm

Rainbow Dash's excessive pranking gets out of hand; the ponies decide to give her a taste of her own medicine - zom-pony style!


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, August 13!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

Writer: F. M. De Marco (debut) (story by Meghan McCarthy)

At least this didn't happen as part of pop culture's recent obsession with zombies, something that was still going strong even around the first couple of years that FiM was on the air.

Not too excited for this one. At this point it seems Dash should know better than to take things that far, and it sounds like the others might be even bigger jerks like in Mare Do Well.

Hopefully the episode proves me wrong though.

You would think Dash would know all's fair in a prank war.

Ideally, I'd like it if everyone pulling the prank to teach Dash a lesson end up realizing they're failing the same lesson they were trying to teach about going too far with pranks. That talking about it is a better option than giving them a taste of their own medicine. I'd rather it be a subversion of how MMDW went rather than a repeat of it.

If I remember correctly, Rainbows and Pinkie were set up to be the pranksters back in season one. That subplot pretty much ended the same episode it was introduced. Do you think they are trying to bring it back?
:ponder:

I guess after this they might also try to bring back saddles from season one as well.

Quibble Pants wants to know whether the zombie ponies will be the slow or fast kind. Because if it's fast zombies, then Quibble Pants will sit this prank out, thank you very much.

That's not a subplot, that's character traits. And Rainbow Dash's mischievousness still showed up some times, like using the storm cloud to scare ponies in Luna Eclipsed.

New clip up. I was skeptical of how theyd handle the zombie aspect but it looks like it might pull it off.

Huh, the CMC joined the Filly Guides at some point. Back when JFS aired (in which we first saw one of them soliciting donations), I remember having thought that the CMC would consider themselves too independent to be interested in an organization like that.

So this is F. M. De Marco first episode on ponies? I wish him the best of luck. What episodes did he do on Littlest Pet Shop? Did anyone watch that show and knows if it was any good? I'm sure he will be fine. I would love to hear how he got the job of a writer on this show.

Oh, well then, I look forward to seeing how these new pranks compare to the ones we've seen from season one.

At least zombie pegasi would lack the coordination and agility to fly and zombie unicorns would be far too stupid to cast spells. Zombie earth ponies would be terrifying, however.

At the expense of her best friend, who she knew not to prank in episode 5 of the series?

RD is being flanderized for the plot here. It is what it is.
