[up][up] Snowflake, Roid Rage, Featherweight's dad, one of those ponies with a million names.

Oh that reminds me, we got to see the return of the hyperbuff pegasus. What was his name? Arnold Schwarzeneighger?

Apparently his official name is Snowflake. Which is pretty stupid but whatever. I still prefer Roid Rage. He's also been called Horse Power.

@ dark, really my only issue is them trying to pretend it's anything else. Them trying to pretend it's a real review. Well plus as above, their idea of 'parody' is simply, make fun of it in as mean spirited a way as we can.

Well, most of the other one wouldn't really work for an in show name. they would NEVER get away with Roid Rage

and yeah the butterfly bit was hilarious

Hadn't we already established that Equestrian butterflies are frighteningly powerful monsters? Snowflake is right to be scared of those things.

Speaking of Friendship Is Witchcraft, am I the only one who's watched some episodes of it and then not liked it? I mean yes, both of Pinkie's songs are awesome and catchy, and Sweetie Bot is probably the only funny thing in the whole series, but other then those the jokes just don't really click with me, and I never really laughed at any of them nor did I laugh at the characters themselves {Again, except for some of the stuff involving Sweetie Bot, because she/he/it is awesome}. It's not the worst parody series to come from the fandom {That "honor" goes to the Pony.MOV series}, but I don't get why so many people like it either.

[up][up] Considering her cutie mark, I think that says a lot about Fluttershy.

I liked it at first, but the longer it went on, the worse it got. The last one was where I just completly gave up and went the other way, specifically when they went after Snowdrop like that. It had been kind of downhill before that but, that was the last straw.

Yes Sweetie-Bot is freaking best thing ever, and the songs are catchy and fun as hell. Outside that... just yeah, they don't know what 'parody' means and think it just means, make fun of it.

Equestrian butterflies are real badasses. You could punch one and it'd just shrug and flutter away like a boss.

That would be funy to make a perspective flip of Fluttershy's scene with the butterflies as Snowflake has an epic freak out.

As for FIW, I guess you just have to have the right sense of humour to appreciate the jokes. Granted not all of them work, but I'm usually laughing 3/4 of the time.

... even with the joking mode... yeah the 'wing missing' bit was a bit to much for it to be funny.

YMMV, the Snowdrop parody for me was hilarious and did a good job at pointing out it's unfortunate implications.

Horse Power would work. And it makes a lot more sense than Snowflake.

Personally, I prefer "Beefcake." And I loved that bit with him and the butterfly, because now that's two things we have in common.

I think it started out bad, got better, and then got worse again. I think the best ones were Neigh Soul Sister and Cherry Bomb. Also, the It'll Be Ok song was awesome, even if the rest of the episode wasn't.

See, the .MOV series and FiW are too much for me because they seem to have this jarringly cynical and mean-spirited tone that really doesn't fit in, I think, with the spirit of the show.

I think Snowflake works actually. It fits with the personality they're building for him.

I don't really watch FIW, so it makes me no difference either way.

I'm reminded of the Spongebob episode where they find Wormy's turned into a butterfly and the entire town goes nuts treating it like an eldritchAbomination.

I thought of some Fridge Horror involving the fandom meme that Rarity is a marshmallow, while having marshmallows in hot cocoa, of course. Rarity EATS marshmallows in Look Before You Sleep, if she's a marshmallow herself then that means she's a cannibal! I was never that fond of that meme in the first place and my realization gave me yet another reason to dislike it.

On the subject of the big muscular white pegasus, I like calling him Snowflake myself, because of it being an Ironic Name. Although it's also fitting if you think of him as being the kind of muscular guy who would be good at shoveling snow, which can be very heavy if a lot of it is on the ground.

Yeah Snowflake really works, just for how odd the name is when applied to somepony like him.

I have to admit. I find it hilarious that a big muscular pony like snowflake is afraid of a simple butterfly.
