Re: S04E25-26: Twilight's Kingdom

But his multiverse research is also to blame for Equestria Girls.

:"History!"

The others have more colorful, but normally flowing manes and tails.

Grim wrote:What I did not expect was... all this. Discord's inexperience naturally leads him to think he can trust Tirek, at least enough to have some fun once Equestria is taken over. After that doesn't happen we get what I'm calling Twilight's biggest moment in the show so far: Demanding that Discord be set free after all the shit he just caused, before he's had a chance to do any backpedaling, and without any kind of hesitation or uncertainty. His reformation is complete now that it's clear who is truly looking out for him, and to prove it he'll be the one to give Twilight the final key to Real Ultimate Power.
I don't even know how to describe the way these things just come together and resolve, but I love it.![]()
The Doctor wrote::-D Keep it up guys. You are convincing me with every post that Discord betraying everyone was a good thing and I'm almost there. Right now I'm pretty much settling on wishing there at least had been some angry looks and a Fluttershy plea on his behalf. Especially after that shot of her looking for him was pointed out.

Damn, that hits as hard as anything else the show's ever done. Legitimately misty here.

I just realized that they ended the episode with that new picture of the 6 because her old one is gone now.

Is he friend, or is he foe, the pony wonders? I can assure you - I am no friend.

and her little dragon, too
Doctor Wheeze wrote:Tirek's first line:
A bit of foreshadowing that he's not really interested in befriending Discord.
Also, props to this guy:
He doesn't hesitate to step forward to blast Tirek in the face. He's a real Equestrian hero![]()
Dexanth wrote:There are so many little pop-culture things in this that fit perfectly into the episode, so many touches that are fantastic little additions.
I mean we have Mary Poppins Discord into Patton Discord into Bubble Bobble; the police uniform isn't really a reference, but it is just another wonderful Discord-ism. Part 2 has 'and her little dragon, too!'; really, every pop culture bit seems Discord-related, which makes perfect sense.
We have the keys all being evocative of their cutie marks. Part 2, Ponyville is boarded up after the Mane 5 warn everypony of what's coming.
There are just so many awesome touches like that that really show how much work the team puts into the animation here.
