I like the episode and all but I kinda genuinely hate the weird strawman bullshit of 'oh yea all the decently rated places and high end eating is tiny portions that don't even taste good' and shit. Like, zesty horse is not a person that exists aside from people that every other person in the food world thinks is a piece of shit too, that's not how shit like michelin stars works

Remember, Canterlot is really "We were told this is what to like, so we all like it because we're supposed to". Remember the Princess Dress episode?

"I have to have that exact one, because they said so."

yea I guess I'm just kinda tired of the show using the base concept of 'critic' as an easy villain at this point. Like, there's no one who just has an opinion you don't like, they're all cartoon monsters who yell about how they didn't give you permission to like a thing or whatever.

The lyrics are almost exclusively written by the writer of the episode. Ingram does the music, which I really appreciated this week compared to last week's song. All the songs in the "Daniel Ingram Style" kinda run together.

Rarity and Pinkie Pie, masters of the split screen. :party: :vogue:

As someone who likes things that stand out from everything else, I liked what they were going for with the restaurant, and I agreed with Pinkie's idea not to change anything. It seemed Rarity was trying to please Zesty Gourmand more than anything, and while her intentions were good, it turned out to be a waste of time.

I liked Saffron myself. Always nice to see some worldbuilding with different pony cultures.

Too bad Zesty Gourmand didn't work out. But it does show how the Mane 6 can't change everyone. She made me think of Harshie with her snooty behavior, but at least Ms. Harshwhinny turned out nice at the end of her episodes.

Way to keep bringing up the dirt on Starlight Glimmer, Spike. :whyme:

I thought the song was okay, it did the job.

Because they don't just have an opinion, they're actively shitting on anyone who doesn't share it.

"Like those two uncultured ponies over there. They're probably poors as well!"

Like, it is cartoonish, yeah, but... :pinkieshrug:

Well, I mean, it's ponies, things get amped up a bit to make it easily relatable.

Also I don't think it's razzing critics so much as it's razzing snobby high culture places and yea, totally razz the shit out of those.

I like listening to non-English music sometimes because I like to have vocals act literally as another musical instrument in the song. Kazumi and Shannon have absolutely beautiful voices, and hearing them sing a duet together was great; it's a shame they were paired with such sub-par lyrics but I can still enjoy their voices and the accompanying music.

Right that's my point, the only avatars of criticism they seem to put in are people that don't just say 'I don't like this' but also 'I don't like this and you're a stupid poor asshole if you think it's good' which...is not a thing. Like, the people who do that aren't seen as some respected bastion of knowledge on the subject like they're portrayed as here, the michelin people don't go around saying 'if you don't eat at a star resteraunt you might as well just eat hot trash you poor garbage person' and shit. It's just kinda this annoying trend in general stuff where the message of 'overly harsh critics are dicks, you can have an opinion without shaming other people' is evolving into 'critics are dicks who shame other people by having opinions'.

Finally, I had been waiting in ages for an Eastern MLP song to come.
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

Daniel's been credited with lyrics before, my mistake if that wasn't the case this week.

Or Sweet and Elite, which is where Rarity learned from Fancy Pants that it was okay to be unique and that you could still be popular at the same time. This time Rarity had to teach that lesson to someone else.

Anyway, I do think it was interesting how she and Pinkie Pie figured out that perhaps their usual behavior doesn't always work everywhere. You'd think that Rarity would be best at anything involving aesthetics (including interior decoration) and that Pinkie Pie would always be able to draw a crowd, but while those antics would surely work back in Ponyville, things are different in Canterlot! I guess the moral is that we need to be more willing to take chances in experiences in our lives, following our hearts and our friends instead of just doing what the rich and famous say we should do.

I agree. Remember Coloratura's shitty agent, Svengallop? He was an utter nightmare to deal with, but he was never meant to be sympathetic, and hotshot entertainment industry managers aren't terribly sympathetic in general. Same deal here.

It's pretty consistent with the show's portrayal of Canterlot as a place mostly full of assholes.

Yeah, that's the best way to see it, and trust me when I say that I encountered those people in the animation circle, and they're always obnoxious. :bluh:
