Psyga: So, this is the part where you show up and explain your evil plans, right?
Kazuma: You’ve guessed right. After your repurposing of the experiments, I’ve decided to do a little experimenting of my own. I wanted to see your breaking point. So I tried to find what hurts you the most. What would make you want to reel back in disgust. To my dismay, there weren’t a lot of works that would make you lose it like you did with the Kacie Boskey fanfics, and the ones that did were often taken out like the trash they are. Even a colossal shitbomb like Sonichu wasn’t enough. Nothing made you blow up like Kacie Boskey’s stories. Then I realized it: My Little Pony. You were a fan of it. I’ve seen you watch the show. I know of its popularity. And with its popularity, its inevitability. Eventually, a Pooh’s Adventures would be made featuring the ponies. I just had to find one, and then deceive you into watching it.
Psyga: Why the fuck would you do all that?
Kazuma: Isn’t it obvious? What was the goal you stated when you repurposed the liveblogs?
Psyga: To find and review. To see what was good and what was bad.
Kazuma: Exactly. I wanted to see if you’d back out. But instead, you kept going, but I can see why now. You shoulder your pain onto others. You make them suffer as much as you do. In the end, you failed your purpose, for you just relish in others’ torment.
Psyga: Er... What about Sonichu? I took that thing on solo.
Kazuma: Yes, but you were prepared. You would endure the pain. With this, however, you had no choice but to pass the pain onto others, forcing them to watch it with you. Admit it, you wanted them to suffer so you can have fun in watching it.
Gentaro: That’s not true! I wasn’t roped into riffing this movie with Psyga! And none of the others were as well!
Eiji: I kind of was...
Gentaro: You’re not helping our case.
Shotaro: I, however, noticed that a foul wind was passing through and I went to investigate.
Tsukasa: As for me, I caught onto your little game, and went to investigate. You did not disappoint.
Kazuma: What of you, Wataru? You were also roped into this.
Wataru: Yeah. But unlike the others, me and Psyga didn’t know we were watching an Adventures video. We were only roped into it because you tricked us, and the only reason why we’re going to finish it is because we have a conviction to do so, for that is the purpose of the liveblog! TO SEE THINGS THROUGH TO THE END!
Kazuma: Hmph... You all have made it this far... But can you brave the last ten minutes? That is something we must find out... ROLL THE FILM, KOUGAMI!
And so, the last ten minutes of the film begin
.
Psyga: Our heroes finally make it to Hollywood after confronting Hopper.
Tsukasa: But their greatest challenge approaches. They have to face... THE RECEPTIONIST!
There was some silence, before Psyga pulls out a tape recorder and plays someone going dun dun duuuun.
Psyga: To the receptionist’s credit, she’s perhaps one of the only sane people because she looks at all these animals and doesn’t let them in because they’re, duh, animals.
Shotaro: They decide that, since she’s allergic to animals, to spread the allergens around until she gets them in to see the boss.
Psyga: Remember kids, exploit any and all weakness to get your way.
Eiji: So the Muppets enter the boss’ office where he’s revealed to be...
Everyone: ORSON WELLES?
Psyga: Ooookay then...
Gentaro: And so Kermit asks Orson to make them stars and he pretty much goes, “Sure, Why Not?”
Tsukasa: And he gives them a contract.
Wataru: It just seems way too easy...
Psyga: ORSON WELLES IS AN INCUBATOR!
Wataru: What? No! You know what, we’re close to the end, so let’s just wrap it up!
Psyga: Alright. They set up the stage to do a recreation of the movie with Rarity doing the costumes and Twilight operating the lights. It ends with the Muppets commentating on how well the movie is. And now, more than ever...
KAMEN RIDE: DIEND!
Kazuma: Hmph. You made it through without any hassle.
Psyga: Well, to tell you the truth, it wasn’t that bad. I mean, I went through several bad Pooh’s Adventures and Crossover fanfiction. So, how are we rating this son of a bitch?
Wataru: I guess we can go one at a time and discuss something we like or hate about the thing.
Psyga: Alright then. Start us off, Watty.
Wataru: ... Anyways. I will say that the songs in the film are pretty good, but several times we’ve skipped over them, so I didn’t really get to hear a lot of the songs.
Psyga: Well, that’s mostly blamed on the fact it’s kind of hard to take note of something when someone’s just singing about how love hurts or rainbows.
Tsukasa: As a crossover, this isn’t really that big. Compared to other Adventures crossovers, the Ponies are barely there and only give off some form of reaction. At least in the other Adventures, they often pretend as if they’re doing stuff or chatting up some more.
Psyga: Yeah. I often joke about how most of these Pooh’s Adventures are just movies with tacked on clips, but this is probably the first one I’ve seen that literally does just that. It’s probably a blessing however, since the moments where the Ponies interact were some of the best scenes. Though there was that whole balloon incident... But I’m not going to go there.
Shotaro: The plot for the actual movie was meh at best. It’s just your average road trip movie, but replace the humans with puppets, and then pop in a crazy guy who wants a dancing frog mascot. The story wraps itself pretty anti-climatically, as if the writers themselves were just handing the happy endings over to Kermit.
Psyga: I know I’ve bitched at A Canterlot Wedding every now and then, but at least in that show, the ponies had to fight for their happy ending. Here? Oh look, Animal’s a giant. Everyone runs. Now onto Hollywood. They ask Orson to become stars and he just goes “okay.”
Eiji: I do like the moral of how you should share your dreams with your friends, though it sort of comes at the last minute and all that.
Tsukasa: Hey, when you confront the Big Bad, it’s always nice to shoehorn in the moral in one epic speech. You should travel around with me to get a gist of that.
Gentaro: As for the ponies... Well, I don’t think they were portrayed badly, they do what their character does best. There’s some breakings of character however.
Psyga: Well, just one, which is Fluttershy, the show’s Shrinking Violet, jumping at the call to go to Hollywood. The only other major OOC moment was when Rainbow Dash mentioned hell, but that was more of a “lol, wut?” moment than a “wait, WTF?!” moment, so it gets a pass.
Gentaro: But like Tsukasa said, there could have been more ponies.
Psyga: Despite all these flaws, I have deemed both The Muppet Movie and Twilight Sparkle Meets The Muppet Movie harmless, and I recommend the latter to those who want their viewing of The Muppet Movie to have an extra zest without feeling stupid about it.
Kazuma: I see that I was unable to make you enraged. That I was unable to make you quit. But when we meet again, I will bring you something that you will shoot your head over.
Psyga: You mean something worse than Sonichu? Pah, I’d like to see you try. Look, the point is that we got through this movie without anything set on fire. I say that’s a good thing.
Kazuma: Very well. I shall sign out.
The TV then goes staticy and turns off.
Eiji: Well, that was fun. So... French Fried Frog Legs?
Psyga: Hell yeah!
Gentaro: We should get some dip if they have
Tsukasa: Meh, sure. I guess.
Wataru: Okay.
While all this is happening, Shotaro smiled. Later, after they all had the frog legs and went their separate ways, Shotaro headed back to his office and typed on his typewriter.
Shotaro: And so, the tale of six friends who sat down and watched a strange movie came to a close. Our lesson was a simple one, Princess: You don’t need to suffer alone. A friend or two, or on our case, five, to endure the pain with you is a good thing. Just like how you should share your dreams with your friends, you should also share your passions and desires, for a bond between friends is strong only when they all have the same goal. Signed, Hidari Shotaro.
And with that, he finished up the letter and took the paper out, folding it up into a letter to send later.
THE END
Well, I hoped you enjoyed this unique take on a Liveblog. I’d like to thank Arcadiarika and Man Called True, for delving deeper into the concept of having multiple characters assist in the riffing of fanfiction, since they helped form the idea of this Liveblog. I highly recommend checking out their Liveblogs. And... erm... Yeah. That’s about it. I don’t really have anything else to say.
