I think it's already confirmed that the wedding will be between Cranky and Matilda which will be super cute! I wonder if there'll be any flower girls.

Oh god thank you. I was scared about saying this, but I'm glad you said it instead. It's not even funny, it's just straight up embarrassing and sounds like the Octavia from those Vinyl and Octavia videos. Voice acting ≠ using a fake accent, especially not one that fake.

But seriously this could be a pretty good episode plot wise. It appears to delve into the idea of how the background characters feel about the mane 6 getting all the glory.

For example in one of the promos a pony is asked to prepare the wedding, and she seems surprised, knowing that ever since Twilight came to town that usually someone would ask a pony in the mane 6, like Pinkie Pie.

That reminds me of the episode of Community where all the other study groups wanted the study room because the main characters always got it. I doubt that is how this episode will turn out, though.

They know the fanbase would only take her as the voice, So to not upset anyone Have her be mute, and express herself through her music. Which I'm fine with kinda makes a sad story out of her., born mute wants to be this and that but can't; gets into music and lets that express her, and be her voice. Also I don't know how it works over there in her country but she may have to be apart of the Actors guild etc. for people to hire her. I dunno.

A changeling was invited to the wedding. Do changelings show up to every wedding. Also, I have nothing bad to say about this episode, but the sheer amount of good in it left me speechless.

I'll come across as cold for saying this, but I don't really care about that. I was hoping so much that this episode would shatter every single shitty fanon that circulates this community, but instead, it mostly ASCENDED every stupid fanon. The whole episode can just be summed up as fan-pandering, but I guess that was known from the beginning.

 

At least it was kind of funny.

How did they get this script past Hasbro?

 

Also, I hope we never see the Doctor or Octavia in speaking roles again, that was actually painful.

Have only seen five minutes and I dislike the idea of a "pandering" episode, I actually like Derpy's voice and the fact that pony!Dude reappeared makes me very happy, even if it makes no sense for him to wear a suit, let alone make his own.

I have to say I liked the episode...

 

But... Not only here, but many places, a lot of people have been complaining about this episode. It's not entirely hate, sure, but I think there are some that are missing the point. Like a art project or piece, sometimes you just have to take a few steps back to see the true beauty. Here we have a show that was made for little girls, in a obvious money making scheme of a reboot. It was nothing more, and nothing less. Lauren Faust put in more effort then anyone can imagine, but what I took from the episode is that it wasn't about her. In the show they said that all the characters matter in a story, including the ones you may not expect. We, as the fandom, were unexpected characters, but have played the biggest role in the story which is this fandom. What was a money-making reboot became a relevant topic in internet culture and beyond. Ponies are everywhere. They were in the Super Bowl, one of the largest events in TV annually. It wasn't the writers that did that, it was us as the fans. The background characters, if that's what you want to say, were what helped the show reach 100 episodes. 

 

So it's not about how some of the characters are or are not breaking fanon, or how accents are crappy, or how funny it was. The point of this episode was to show that we made it to 100. I feel like we should be celebrating instead of picking the episode apart, because it's entire existence is meant for us, the fans, and how important we are.

Wow...uh... 

This was a lot more fan-pandery than I expected. Lots of cringe-worthy characterization and tired dialogue, even for me.

 

The only part I actually enjoyed was the duet between Vinyl and Octavia and the gift banter between the royal sisters. Everything else was just... really fourth-wall antics specifically for the fandom.

I mean, that's fine, whatever. But considering how tightly all that was packed into this one episode, if felt really forced and unnatural for character development. 

 

It was only 3 or 4 minutes in before I realized this episode was going to be hard to sit through. Way to reinforce viewer headcanons, writers. Guess it was too easy to not write your own characters' personalities in.

ADDENDUM:

This is actually the reason I dislike this episode so much. I came into this expecting the background ponies to develop and grow their own personalities and reasons for me to like them. I don't like them because of what the fans made out of them. I like them for what I've seen of them in the show. The writers took the lazy route by plucking up popular perception from the fans and wedging those personalities into the characters instead of DEVELOPING SOMETHING ORIGINAL AND WITH ACTUAL DEPTH.

Well, yeah. But, they pretty much nailed the voice, and Walter didn't sound half bad either. Plus his dialogue was pretty good.

 

If Jesus had had a talking role I would've been even happier.

Oh yeah, definitely. I think these were the only voices along with those of the mane six and the bear bug that were done correctly.

 

Regardless, I'm now hoping that none of this episode except for Cranky and Matilda's wedding was canon.

They couldn't name her Derpy due to the whole Tumblr SJW reaction.

That's a terrible reason to like anything and a terrible reason to dislike anything.

 

If you disregard the fandom nods, the episode's main failing was that it was just too disjointed to have any kind of coherence. 20 minutes is way too short a time to waste jumping from viewpoint to viewpoint, established new characters every single time. Had they an hour to pull this off and worked on only 2-3 background ponies, things would have felt much more cohesive. As is it felt more like a series of shorts than a coherent episode.

I'd always thought they might have gone with Ditzy Doo or something to that effect.
