Nice Scuderia, nice.

I do wonder how an alicorn Twilight with knowledge of her friends and Nightmare Moon's nature might have tried to salvage that reality. Remember! The Elements of Harmony are still theoretically around.

I bet the Cutie Mark Crusaders love that timeline 'cuz they get to stay up as late as they want. :ohboy: :anticipation: :scootawoo:

In fact, when you think about it, Nightmare Moon is basically an anti-bedtime tantrum made manifest.

Well done. :allears:

Image Twilight, I'm doing very well in learning about friendship, but I must tell you, I'm finding some of my old habits hard to break.

Image Well, that's all right, Starlight. Together, we can-

Image QUIET

Image Sorry. That was one of them.

If Spike ever grows wings as he gets older, I wonder if he'd be able to walk on clouds as well, or if dragons are simply too big and bulky for that.

Isn't walking on clouds, like, a pegasus magic type-thing?

I thought there was a week break and just saw it.
It was great because of changelings, even though it portrayed them as villains.

So uh

How does this episode tie in with the ending of EqG: Friendship Games?

In it Twilight says she was delayed getting the message from Dougworld because she was caught up in a time travel loop that was "the strangest thing that's ever happened to me".

Was EqG one of the shitty alt-futures? :gotcha:

It's just Starswirl reclaiming what belongs to him. No, really.

Think about that. A map designed to work with Starswirl's very specific kind of magic. That somehow has the smarts to take the scroll after they're all said and done with the time loop that could have obliterated Equestria as we know it multiple times over.

Doesn't that make you JUST A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS about the castle at all?

Oh, true! I guess cloud-walking might be a magic common to various flying creatures, though as big, often belligerent predators I'm not sure dragons would be allowed into the club.

Could be, then :amazing: . The origin of the Tree is something they've still got to expand upon, if they ever do.

I would think that dragons would be too big and heavy, also they don't have feathers which might be a requirement for cloud walking (or not).

Strangest thing is that they would have had to put the magic mud on the wing asset and still not catch that there shouldn't be a wing.


Edit: they literally cut and pasted Twilights body for Pinkie. :lol:

I think Fluttershy's wing is also a folded Alicorn wing instead of the usual Pegasus. Unimportant crowd scene - lots of new one off assets across the episode - deadlines ...

:shock: :"After the Changelings attacked, how long did it take before you were living in grass huts and painting each other with mud?"

:cheese: :" 'bout a week..."

:allears: :"I got an earring!"

:twiright: :"I like it! You look very savage."

Count me in as someone who was struck emotionally by the end of this episode, too. Maybe I'm just a big softie or something, but I can feel why Twilight and the other five were willing to forgive Starlight Glimmer. She's just someone who had a bad idea and was way too good at convincing others of it, not a world-ending force of evil. It's a far more positive ending than all the past two-parters involving villains have had, save for perhaps The Crystal Empire's ending.

I liked it because it makes me feel like I'm not just watching the ponies on a TV screen, but I'm there, experiencing their adventures, their trials and tribulations, and when they're all looking up and smiling at the end, it's their way of saying "thank you" for sticking with Pony not just this season, but all of them. :allears:

As an aside, there's that Mystifying Oscillating Music Box Arpeggio Thingy (I have no idea what to actually call it because music terminology baffles me.) you can hear between them hugging and the end credits.

I'm a sucker for that kind of thing. It reminded me much of a certain BGM that's among my all-time favorites. :allears:
