I've seen a lot of shows movies books
and mysterious ghosts VHS --is so I've
encountered a lot of different villains
since I say the only good thing about
another wise bland story sometimes
they're actually terrifying or create
legitimate questions about the world we
live in and no matter how you slice it
there really is no story that doesn't
have some form of antagonist however in
all these things that I've seen I've
never seen a villain as dumb as this one
and I'm not talking about a lovable
buffoon like Jack Spicer or Team Rocket
I'm talking about a character that is
treated like a legitimate threat to the
story despite not showing any level of
competency I'm talking about sunset
shiver from My Little Pony Equestria
girls no no yeah really this is this is
what we're talking about here my friends
[Music]
now this movie isn't great but it's not
insultingly bad or anything below
average really honestly the worst thing
about it apart from the villain is just
how incredibly cheap it is if I made a
video highlighting every instance of
corners being cut it'd be twice as long
as the actual movie my favorite
instances here you got my vote Twilight
9 - 5 - 9 - wow those three voices sure
do sound similar to - it's almost like
they used three different takes from the
same voice actor so that they could
imply there were more characters in the
scene than what they were able to
animate anyway sunset shimmer is an
idiot there's no other way of putting it
everything she does in the film
contradicts the most basic logical
reasoning and her plan makes no sense
but for people who haven't seen the
movie let me give you some context
essentially in the movie a magic crown
is stolen by sunset shimmer and through
various happenstance ends up as the
prize for being elected prom queen or
whatever I'm I'm sorry this movie's
really dumb for her evil plan any plan
she needs that crown so you know I just
steal it again and well where she
doesn't know where it is but it's
probably just locked up in an office
somewhere I mean is it really harder to
steal from like a school office than
from an entire frickin castle just sneak
it at night and grab it but okay okay
okay let's assume that the incredibly
poorly designed principal's just put
some sort of magical force field on it
that they never told us about and the
only way to get your hands on this crown
is to win the prom thing why does sunset
have to be the winner why not just let
whoever's gonna run for it run for it
and then grab it anyway you know the
things she did at the end of the movie
there's no reason why that couldn't have
been her plan all along and it
made her look smarter too also for
whatever reason part of her plan
involves splitting up the other friend
characters like she clearly had to put a
lot of effort to find out these
characters personal plans hack into
their emails or create a new account or
something and carefully coordinate a
series of misconceptions in such a way
that these characters stop being friends
except that she made these
misconceptions really simple problems
that literally get resolved in one
conversation to what end is this even
for it doesn't serve her plan in any way
and you might be saying oh but you see
she wanted to make sure that they
couldn't use the magic of friendship or
whatever against her except that she's
clearly unaware in the end that that's
even a thing they can do the magic
contained in my element was able to
unite with those that helped create it
[Music]
so the next phase in her master plan is
to get snips and snails to take
embarrassing videos of Twilight in order
to keep her from running oh yeah that'll
do the trick why not just show the
amazingly poorly designed principles
that Twilight literally has no records
in this school and just showed up sure
as heck can't compete if you're not a
student also why is she getting snips
and snails to do her bidding
out of all these characters of the cast
of the show they get these two losers to
work for the villain and expect us to
take it seriously but I digress the
video thing is forgotten about pretty
quickly so next up in shimmers brilliant
plan to stop Twilight from being the
prom queen whatever contest is to frame
her for trashing the gym okay now we're
getting somewhere that she gets some
results but you want to know how she
does this trust me your mind is gonna be
blown by this absolute genius just
incredibly smart and foolproof plan are
you ready be sure she takes pictures of
the trashed gym and pictures of Twilight
and then cuts Twilight out of pictures
and like glue sticks them onto the gym
pictures so it so it kind of vaguely
looks like she's trashing it Wow Wow
incredible incredible so smart so great
oh my god
whoa mama so smart so smart
okay okay okay but seriously let's be
serious you guys this is unimaginably
dense my mind is blown by how ridiculous
this is
I feel like I've reached new horizons a
whole new level of thinking just from
watching this nonsense play out even if
we ignore that the lighting conditions
would have to be different in both
pictures the angles of the pictures
somehow perfectly matching up the
picture is being taken in secret despite
Twilight facing the camera
some of them the evidence just being
left around for anyone to find the fact
that trashing the gym would postpone the
dance something that shimmer herself
says she doesn't want to happen or the
fact that she was somehow able to
perfectly cut out these pictures of
Twilight without messing up anything
even if we ignore all of that literally
all you have to do is touch the picture
and you'd realize that it has creases on
it that can only be created by another
picture being glued on top this isn't
rocket science my dudes
it's common sense there was not a single
creation on this planet that would ever
ever fall for something like that not
even the bacteria on Mars would fall for
this crap
oh oh and here's my favorite part my
favorite piece of this incredibly shabby
picture you know why sunset needed that
crown so bad what this whole movie was
building up to the big reveal for what
happens when you bring an element of
harmony into another dimension it just
lets you turn to a demon thing duh look
at this design look at it I could come
up with a better monster design in my
sleep I am appalled at how incredibly
generic this demon design is I mean it's
almost as bad as well you know so sunset
has all the power she wants everything
she was working for and what's she gonna
do with it good vade Equestria with an
army of teenagers of course like she
literally says with my teen army even if
we assume that she turns them all into
the demon things like she did with snips
and snails how the Frick does she expect
to be able to successfully invade
Equestria this is a high school of maybe
let's be generous and say 2500 students
and she's gonna sick all of them on a
literal Kingdom full of horses that
could shoot frickin lasers out of their
head
I mean if this was just like the random
field that the g1 show took place in
then sure I can believe it but
equestrian this show has a literal army
in one Episode just one of the members
of said army was able to protect the
entire castle single-handedly by
projecting a force field that was so
strong an entire army of bug things
couldn't get through it has two
goddesses that can literally lift
planets and remember how hard it was for
Twilight to adapt to being human why
wouldn't it be the same for these
assholes I mean I'm sure shimmer will be
fine but she's seriously gonna fight an
entire kingdom of powerful horses with
an army of stupid adolescents he'll have
no idea how to use their bodies you're
gonna go after a trained military with a
bunch of teens who probably learned
everything they know about fighting from
an Eminem album you really think that's
gonna work out your favor hey you know
what let's get rid of the benefit of the
doubt maybe she can pull it off after
all she's such a confident character I'm
sure this will work out just fine
