Yea I liked that this big bad was just a pony who's a fuckin asshole. No big DARK FORCES GATHER bullshit, she's just a megalomaniac and a dick. Good on em not constantly 'raising the stakes'.

I think I liked Sugar Belle the best out of the background ponies.

Perpetual Lurker wrote:Starlight was a great villain, and she gets extra bonus points for interrupting the Twilight Friendship Speech™. Really this whole episode was great and well paced. The atmosphere in the beginning was creepy and unsettling, and became much more sinister and direct once the town dropped the pretense of being a nice place. The side characters were also quite nice, and yeah, I'm going to have to agree that Party Favor is the best. The coolness of creating functional balloon constructs outweighs the implausibility of him having that many balloons.

And most of the branches (love that little detail) seem to be pretty much Wild Magic, friendship magic especially.Snow Drift wrote:Also is it just me but do unicorns seem to have a higher instance of becoming completely evil. Or at least total jerkfaces.
