As I expected, I HATED it. It was just 20 or so minutes of cliche after cliche. And you know what the best part is? I can blame the new writers! Ha ha! :D
Here is the thing: These writers probably had small experiences of writing. You can tell because a lot of the dialogue sounds too simple and I may recall 1 or 2 occasions where they used nonsense just to keep the plot moving. Why is Twilight THE ONLY one who can save the crystal empire? Surely luna can go, because until she escaped her moon prison, celestia was moving the sun and moon for a millennium or so. If this was in a much smaller episode, it would be fine. But not for a 40 minute special that is meant to greet the newcomers to the show.
Second: The villain. I didn't watch episode 2, but from what I heard from people who did, he could have been replaced with a twig. Seriously, he's the least threatening villain ever. He's just a pile of fog that gives people amnesia and caps unicorns magic. On that point, What happened to him while Candence wasn't there, huh? Clearly he would put the empire in an unfixable state during the time it was gone.
Third: The personalities. A friend of mine said that Pinkies 4th wall jokes were not subtle at all in season 2. Boy, was I in for a major shock. I can guess what happened to the meeting:
Boss: "Alright, writers. We need to change a few things about the personalities of the characters."
Writer 1(Idiot): "LET'S MAKE THEM JUST HOLLOW VERSIONS OF THEMSELVES BY TURNING THEIR PERSONALITIES INTO THE PARTS BRONIES LIKE!!!"
Boss: "OMG U R A GENIUS I WILL GIVE YOU PAY RISE NOW!!!!!!"
Fluttershy is now a character who just stutters "um" every 2 seconds, and pinkie... UGH. She's just obnoxious. In fact, she was so annoying that I have to say that the robot from Borderlands is more bearable, and he isn't even in the show! THIS ISN'T GOOD CHARACTER BUILDING, GUYS. It's one dimensional.
Also, GAK. There, this review is now legit.
4/10
(Also, the episodes for S3 have the worst titles in history. "Too many pinkie pies"? ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JOKING.) |

It's a miracle what New writers who have no idea what side of a pen ink comes out of can do, eh? :D |

| That's pretty stupid to say. A critic has to watch stuff like this in order to BE a critic. Why did game reviewers have to play Sonic 06, for example? It was their job, and I bet they didn't want to even touch that game with a stick. |

But sonic 06 isn't a good game even if it was glitch free. Poor storyline, poor graphics, Sonic doesn't even RUN, and that romance with the princess.
NO. |

The difference between games like Far Cry 2 and Sonic 06 is that Far Cry 2 is a good game.

"Why is Twilight THE ONLY one who can save the crystal empire?" Because it was a test set up by Celestia for her. If there was truly a point where she found
Twilight could not do it, she would intervene.
"Second: The villain. I didn't watch episode 2, but from what I heard from people who did, he could have been replaced with a twig. Seriously, he's the least threatening villain ever. He's just a pile of fog that gives people amnesia and caps unicorns magic. On that point, What happened to him while Candence wasn't there, huh? Clearly he would put the empire in an unfixable state during the time it was gone."
My thoughts on this was he was more supposed to represent the presence of evil, not an actual character.
And the rest I just don't understand. The rest isn't a rant about S3 EP1, it's about all of the characters?
maybe you can be science |

I'm pretty sure that in this case "Evil" is another way of saying "Doing nothing at all."
"it's about all of the characters?"
Here is the thing: These are the characters you see in almost every episode of the show. We are gonna have to listen to their nonsense and see their generic personalities THROUGHOUT the season. Unless it's a CMC episode. |

I like Pinkie. She's the first pony to use modern military slang, and I like that.

Really? I didn't watch part 2, and the only things I know is this: Rarity is now a crystal pony and Sombre is still useless.
And what confuses me is why celestia sent her on such a "Dangerous" journey. Celestia hasn't done a THING in the show besides sitting around and writing. She has more powerful magic than candence, too. |
