https://pastebin.com/vst99hRx A>Dat saddle At least it looks less tacky than the dress. >Rarity: I have a dandy little outfit for the dashing gent. I like how eloquent the dialogue is, yet at the same time it's self aware of itself and uses modern terms like dandy against dashing. >Victorian era Spike >Now you just need a hat Ohmygod Spike with blonde hair. Looks like a spanish get-up. dat classy music. 14:24 Derp eyed Rarity. Apparently some animator really loves derping ponies' eyes out. >Now all you need is a hat Damn you Gaben. >Twilight: Wait... the grand ga.. I like Sparkle's expression here, looks more natural and custom drawn as opposed to the stiff garbage Flash expressions. Like for example Rarity, she barely emotes properly compared to Twilight. Rarity's are too tepid and with little differences between each expression compared to Twilight which I can immediately notice. And no S2's expressions are garbage, too exaggerated and cringeworthy to look at. You need them balanced like Twilight in season 1. >Is Rarity the Unicorn!! Rarity is the only one without a second name or a second-word name like Fluttershy and Applejack. Also Jesus christ fix your character, if this is the extent of this bitch then just dump her in the trash. You cannot make a character if she keeps self-pampering herself in her own ego every fucking time, stop sabotaging her. Or rather you, the writer, keep applauding your own shitty stereotype like you project yourself on the character like the arrogant retard you are. It's either sabotage when you exaggerate a character, or the writer genuinely believes he's doing his own character a favor by selflessly patting her on the back. It's fitting how Rarity was never suppose to make the cut as a main character in Generation 4. I would rather have Toola Roola. Then Twilight gets pissed and goes for the exit, but before she even has the chance to get out the door... Fucking Applejack, out of fucking nowhere. Exactly when Twilight was leaving here pops up AJ. Element of honesty my dick. >Applejack >apples >apples >apples (I can't understand half the things she's saying with that thick accent of hers) Jesus lady do you have anything else other than apples? Also Twilight should have totally just tricked AJ and took the free food. 15:23 I like the zoom-in on Twilight as her pupils enlarge. T.Sparkle has the largest array of reactions and expressions compared to the shitty stock main 5 which just keep smiling forever with those soulless eyes. Also good job on removing the bouncy sfx(whenever AJ pops up at the edge of the screen) so it doesn't get too annoying, at least there's some audio editors with common sense in this episode. Same thing they used on Spike while he was throwing apples away. >the desert, not my nanny (laugh track) Work on your damn jokes. Any dialogue-oriented joke which FIM makes ends up being stupid and a kneejerk. >So.. that's a maybe? I'm the dumb texan one. hue. I love how the music plays there, amping up on cue with AJ's stupidity. Music: Seriously, horse? *rolls eyes*. The music ends up being more amusing than the dialogue joke. >Oh Fluttershy, not you too. What you thought just because she's shy that means she can't be dumb, evil, arrogant, smug, scum, etc etc? She's actually the least innocent pony in ponyville. Disappointing autism pony. Jesus Christ, Fluttershy singing the MLP theme song, quite well too. I don't know if it's audio mixed, but it sounds good. No wonder everyone wanted Flutters to get a song as quick as possible. Too bad she blown her voice in S2. Also you can hear her singing the MLP theme again in the phoenix episode. (EP 22 A Bird In the Hoof) Then here comes Pinkie Pie, rallying up her background ponies ensemble. >Poonee poneee, parteey parteey, meee to meee I like how it rhymes. >Twilight: At least the other ponies tried to be subtle about the ticket. Which isn't saying much. They were all assholes. I just really love what a bunch of shitty friends these ponies actually are even since the first episode. "Oh look what great friends we are for keeping her awake all night, such goood friends." It's especially funny when in the previous episode Twilight spews her friendship speeches about them 5. Way to disappoint her, faggots. I'd love her to actually realize: "Oh nevermind, forget what I said earlier when we defeated Nightmare Moon, that's not even canon. You ponies are the worst bunch of friends anyone can have, in fact the only friendly thing about you are your sociopathic smiles and soulless eyes". It's no wonder Pinkie is so depressed in Party Of One, she never had real friends. In fact it would be interesting to make the ponies get depressed if they have no social interaction for 1 measly day. It would make Twilight superior over them for not having to depend on shallow social interaction. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Twilight going back to Canterlot out of pure rage. After all she hated Ponyville and couldn't wait to get back to her luxurious ivory tower. I will never understand why the idiots in season 5 thought she'd be bothered by the library tree, fuck that tree. 17:18 Take note of the background ponies, there aren't any copy-pasted clones in this shot.(except for Carrot Top) This is what S2,3,4,5 should have been like before they got lazy and just removed them altogether and started making ugly bg ponies. Here we get another taste of the horrible voice acting for the background ponies. Apparently asking the main voice actors to do it is too much of a bother, or just getting some good voices for the bg ponies for their total speech time of 2 seconds. Benny Hill time. A very poor man's version of the Benny Hill. Apparently Hasbro's cookie cutting budget knows no bounds. Plenty of cartoons have licensed music, why can't this one have some too? Again scenes like the benny hill chase sequence are funny, but the dialogue isn't. Whenever the dialogue tries to be witty and funny it just ends up being lame and kindergarten-like. You get another funny chase sequence in the phoenix episode. I kinda miss them, they never added them in S2+. 17:49 apparently Carrot Top enjoys being trampled over. 17:52 Yeah that's a group copy-paste. But at least they copy-pasted bg ponies instead of secondary characters like in Luna Eclipsed. Lyra keeps getting rose eyes instead of gold. But aqua teal looks good with red rosey eyes too. >Twilight and baby Spike sitting in a cradle. Ahaha fuck no. Twilight would be a shitty mother, nerds don't make for good parents. Albeit if I had to leave a baby pony to a babysitter, I'd leave it to her over the other 5. Hnngg. Fluttershy makes for a poor care take as well, she's good with animals not with... fuck you Stare Master. It lasted just 40 seconds, could have been a bit longer and funnier. I personally would have enabled the sound effects during the chase. The dust effects for the trampling masses of ponies were nice, I don't remember seeing them anymore in latter seasons. So Twilight winks out of there on emotion, apparently unicorn horns do that. Spike gets almost electrocuted. 18:12 Twilight's eye liner leaks at the bottom, you know the black edge thing. Also her eye shape is perfectly oval in here. 18:03 The animation for her expression resets here when Spike falls in the water. 18:09, 18:14 Twilight gets a pointier smurf-like nose just like in the storyboard sketches. Now I'm at 18:22. While they're locking the doors and turning off the lanterns, the soundtrack is a bit different and more atmospheric here. It's different from the cutsie glockenspiel and xylophones mickey mousing which FIM's S1 constantly has. I wouldn't have minded a more fantasy adventure soundtrack for FIM. No S2+ still has a horrible soundtrack, a dramatic generic crap type. I want something of quality. Also for some reason it's now night, when just moments ago it was day light. 18:40 Pony Jesus how did you get in there. Fucking cartoon logic. Oh and Fluttershy's wing is blue... and extra tiny. Nice scream by the way. No too hysterical and pretty believable, it doesn't jump out of character. >You're all my friends and I wanna make you all happy and I can't I just can't. What a pathetic submissive beta. Most main characters are suppose to be independent assholes in command of everyone. This dumb egghead seems to believe she's in the wrong. Somebody please teach her the meaning of friendship, because these ponies are too retarded to know the difference between a buddy and a friend. >I just feel awful that I made you feel awful Editor!!! Somebody edit a word in there. >I just feel awful that I made you feel terrible. That's better. 19:21 Jeez Rainbow Cunt. The only difference between Rainbow S1 and S2+ is that the animation in S1 is smoother and cuter, Dash acts more playful n cutsie and less angry-dramatic-depressed obnoxious like most ponies in S2. I guess that was one of the reasons why her asshole trait was excused in season 1. She had more charm back then. That and she didn't have much screentime and so many episodes catered to her in S1, like Fluttershy does, Fluttershy has 4 episodes in S1. >We're sorry, Twilight. Holy crap whoever wrote this doesn't even understand the meaning of an apology. Yeah that's right excuse yourself after acting like a retard, then keep acting like that afterwards. No you can't just go "We're sorry, we're sorry" after you acted like a sociopath, that is not how logic of any kind works, even cartoon logic. That's not how it fuck, nothowitf fjifingfking works you prick. If I was your friend I would disown you, what the fuck kinda marriage are you gonna have if you keep using sorry as an excuse to get away with this shit? ""We're sorry :) uguu. We're just mentally retarded pastel-colored cat-ponies, that's all. "" No, don't just say you're sorry. Think for one fucking second that what the fuck are you doing is socially unacceptable. No shut the fuck up I'm not over-reacting. Somebody wrote this shit, there was a human being who wrote this fucking shit, what should I think about that person? Is this how you fucking go along in real life just saying sorry? Are you some fucking manipulative piece of shit. Lauren Faust, Amy Keating Rogers... learn some fucking social values you fucking wankers. Fuck me. Fuck's sake. Fucking amateurs. >Spike take down a note So finally we reach the moral. I like, I love the dear princess celestia letters since the first episode, even if Spike's mailbox gimmick gets old. But using the letters for morals is dumb and practically handicapped. This cartoon had no business teaching morals, it's not an honest cartoon, it's a shitty commercial to shill little girls out of their parent's money. It's just ironic, that a toy advertisment is trying to teach something. Especially when the morals are garbage. Twilight Sparkle: Spike, take down a note. Dear Princess Celestia, I've learned that one of the joys of friendship is sharing your blessings, but when there's not enough blessings to go around, having more than your friends can make you feel pretty awful. So, though I appreciate the invitation, I will be returning both tickets to The Grand Galloping Gala. Ponies in unison: What?! Twilight Sparkle: If my friends can't all go, I don't wanna go either. Yeah definitely "What", the writer herself doesn't believe her own moral. While the speech is very eloquently told even using "blessings", it simply lacks any substance. All style and no thought. Try applying this in Willy Wonka or any other scenario. It doesn't work. Here's the irony. I'll tell you in a sec. >Fluttershy: Now you won't get to go to the gala either. Yep way to go, faggots. You just made her lose. If one can't win, let's make everyone lose. >Twilight Sparkle: It's okay, girls. I couldn't possibly enjoy myself without my best friends there with me, so I would rather not go at all. (foreshadowing) ..*glares* HAH!.. this is a joke right? Considering that in Best Night Ever they all split in their separate ways and only at the end realize the same moral Twilight said here. Here's the conclusion to the irony. In the end they all get 6 tickets to the 3G. Which pretty much undermines the previous moral. In other words the cartoon show is shooting itself in the foot and pretty much saying that it's own morals are garbage. It's admitting that the morals are shit, by making them null. But why didn't they just remove the morals entirely then if even the writer herself knows that they are garbage shit which don't fit in the MLP commercial? >Spike: Hgh... hgh... urk... urk... >Applejack: Well wallop my withers, Spike. Isn't that just like a boy? Can't handle the least bit of sentiment. >Spike: [burp] Applejack: Whoa Nelly! Applejack you sexist piece of shit. First your aggression issues. Then your dishonesty, later your racism and specism, now you went this fucking low. Not to mention this coming from the redneck texan-accented stereotype of a pony with no character. I would have wrote Spike breathing fire on her and burning her hat and tail. Useless dumb drunk horse. The golden tickets. It seems like the tickets are enchanted themselves. But personally I would have made all 3 pony races use the basic ability of levitation. Trivia: Back in 2011 we had a yellow-gold OC pony inspired from these tickets, named... Ticket. >Spike: I mean, gross, I have to go too? (Just stick to visual humour if dialogue isn't your thing, Lauren) Actually Spike you don't get to go. You get zero screentime in the gala episode. Weirdly enough Spike suggested to spend time in Canterlot town, rather than Canterlot's castle where the gala was held. We get tons of shots this episode of the castle, but not of the town. Hence we never had a big eagle-view of Canterlot city like Ponyville. Almost like the city never existed and there was only the castle on top of the mountain hill. Very annoying that in the first episode, the first few scenes we get Twilight running a bit around Canterlot, but we never get to see it at all in season 1. There's a few more problems... Cloudsdale gets introduced in episode 16. Cutie Mark Chronicles in 23. Apparently season 1 wasn't planned ahead very well. Cue end it with zooming in on canterlot castle. Personally I hate these timely endings. I enjoy lenghty satisfying endings, for example I'd like to see Twilight finally dining and stop her belly aching. I wouldn't mind one or two minutes spent on the mane6 ponies eating at night at a restaurant. It feels very comfy and goes well with the overall slice-of-life/sandbox theme of the show. A lively night with lanterns alight and crowds of ponies awake is very comfy. Might have even saw Princess Luna or hints of Luna. Executive Producer - Lauren Faust. It's really important for the artistic creator of a cartoon to be the executive. Often times they just let you as the director, rather than the executive slot. Studio B Inc. Back then there were more Studio B animators rather than off-shores TopDraw animators. That's all Folks.
