Line #13 Awesome/PoniesAndDragons


1	* Flurry Heart (a BABY alicorn) beating the hell out of a Changeling trying to kidnap her. See [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/PoniesAndDragons the Funny Moments page]] for details.
2	** Later on she saves Thorax from an assassination attempt by one of Queen Chrysalis's loyal Changelings in much the same way. It's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded by the assassin]].
3	-->''"[[ThisIsGonnaSuck I knew this was going to end badly]]"''
4	* Session 8.13 gives us Queen Supia, a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever gigantic]] Neighponese Changeling Queen who resembles a Japanese giant hornet. When Chrysalis bans ''King of Manehatten'', an in-universe board game with a character similar to Supia in it (something Chrysalis claims "steals the terror-spotlight" from herself), Supia shows up and delivers a ''terrifyingly awesome'' speech about who makes a better {{Kaiju}} that leaves the normally arrogant Chrysalis a trembling wreck:
5	--> ''"...And then I learned of your tantrum over the game." Supia's voice was a demonic, buzzing hiss. [[EvilIsPetty "Sending some of your soldiers to harass the poor developers just for NOT making YOU their monster?]] [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Do you even KNOW size-shifting spells? Have YOU ever caused a tsunami with just the force of your wings? Have YOU ever crushed a mad daimyo's army LITERALLY underhoof?"]] A slim pink tongue shot out and licked at those horrible mandibles. '''"Do YOU know what kappas taste like when you swallow them whole by the dozens?!"'''''
6	** Chrysalis then promptly revokes the ban.
7	* The round of ''{{TabletopGame/Go}}'' between Scorch and Master Babylon. Two dragons [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever the size of MOUNTAINS]], using huge boulders as game pieces , trading some friendly trash-talk...and all the while a crowd of smaller dragons watch as if it were a tense standoff or epic battle. MundaneMadeAwesome at its absolute ''finest.''
8	** Then there's how Master Babylon ''wins'' said game. He distracts Scorch with some banter ''just enough'' for the latter to set down a piece without thinking....while it's still technically ''Babylon's'' turn, thus making an illegal move and making Babylon the winner by default.
9	* A flash forward reveals that Gilda ascending to goddesshood due to ''making a strawberry-topped cheesecake'' for Griffonkind's gods after getting zapped with Starswirl's spell in a thousand years or so. Arguably outstrips the above for MundaneMadeAwesome.
10	** Even better, Gilda wears a chef's outfit as her holy/royal attire.
11	* Basically any time somepony pulls a successful [[OffTheRails derailment]] and either completely breaks a game, or effectively ends its story on a happy note. Shining's alien war game; Twilight's steampunk RPG; Human!Shining's fantasy creatures-vs.-real militaries game...they all get more or less uprooted and turned on their heads. And it's ''never'' through cheating or exploits, just creative use of the games' mechanics and rules.
12	** Often doubles as Funny, due to the OhCrap reations this produces from the GameMaster (usually Twilight or Shining Armor) at seeing everything hijacked.
13	* The ''entirety'' of session 25.0. Hoo boy, let's run things down:
14	** Ember, for starters. Not only has she grown into a beautiful and ''[[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever utterly gigantic]]'' dragoness, she's also proven quite a capable Dragon Lord: most dragons now acknowledges her as their ruler, and she's already putting a plan to modernize and reform dragon-kind into motion. She's come a ''long'' way from the defiant daughter she once was.
15	** Meanwhile, Mina of Dragon Town has also grown into a titanic beauty. She's also become something of a champion for Dragon Town, stubbornly (yet peacefully) holding onto her home's independence even as Ember has been consolidating power and influence all this time. Ember couldn't have asked for a more worthy rival.
16	* The CurbStompBattle the Mane Six dole out in ''March of the Giants'' in Chapter 9. Lucky dice rolls and some quick thinking on everypony's part let their giant characters make quick work of the pony Baron's forces and castle: Half a company of {{Mooks}} is SquashedFlat in one stomp by AJ, Rainbow [[BlowYouAway sends a squad of archers flying with a wing-gust]], and the castle's wall is ''demolished'' via a good old-fashioned tackle. To end with a bang, a potentially lethal cannon brigade is [[KillItWithIce turned into ice statues by Rarity]], and the Baron himself and his last flunkies are ensnared in vines courtesy of Fluttershy. Even if only a board game, still quite impressive.
17	** The Baron's inadvertent KarmicDeath--from AJ's character slipping on some ice and [[AssKicksYou ending up sitting on him]]--is both this and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Funny/PoniesAndDragons hilarious.]]
18	* During the Storm King's take over, Cheerilee, Zecora, and the Deer mount a rescue of the captured foals. The Deer use their GreenThumb magic to attack the Storm King's {{Mooks}} after Cheerilee lures them into Everfree. Aspen then interrogates one of them to find the foal's location, at which point Zecora uses an invisiblity potion to sneak in and rescue the foals, losing the guards int the Everfree with help from the Deer.
19	** And then for good measure Aspen gets some reinforcements from the Everfree. The URSA MAJOR
20	** We also see the Crystal Empire and Diamond Wolves, the Yaks, Daring Do, and the Hooffields and McColts briefly fighting the invaders off in different battles. Briefly, that is, before the reinforced Yetis beat them.
21	** Also Starlight Glimmer briefly holds the attackers back at [[YouShallNotPass the very door of the Friendship Palace]] before she is taken prisoner. When she discovers that Tempest and the Storm King mean to visit Earth after the invasion [[FromBadToWorse to learn how to make]] ''[[FromBadToWorse nuclear bombs]]'', she teleports Twi's notebook on how to use the mirror gate far far away. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown And is beaten savagely]].
22	* Amethyst Star [[HeroicSacrifice letting herself be captured]] by the Storm King's {{Mooks}} so her little sister and the Doctor can escape.
