A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.
All of the usual forum rules
apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I honestly didn't mind the explaining much because it was some of the funniest stuff in the episode. My main gripe is that they apparently couldn't decide to focus on Twilight and Cadance, or on the rest of the mane cast. It would've been stronger if they had either had the plot revolve solely around the rest of the cast's attempts to keep Discord out of Twilight's hair, or if it had all been about Twilight and Cadance dealing with him.
Reaction Image RepositoryTrue enough. Do wish we got more Twi/Cadance bonding.
Though was great seeing them go Bash Sisters on the wurm.

In other news, while Flash Sentry did make a cameo, it apparently shows that he's been transferred to the Crystal Empire.
Reaction Image RepositoryHe might have just been part of Celestia and Luna's guard there with them. But... seriously, just.. stop with him. The character is odd enough, but.. having that ONE guard, just so different then all the others... it's just so so.. out of place.
Also, we get another creature, from yet another set of Folklore, what's next?
Oh right, forgot about that. I always forget that the Equestria side of EQG was set in the Crystal Empire rather than Canterlot. Even if it doesn't make much sense.
Reaction Image RepositoryThe second I saw him I thought: "OH BOY SOMEBODY'S GONNA HAVE A CONNIPTION." I personally couldn't care less about he Flash cameo even if I tried.
Another favorite point about this episode: friendship necklace!
If that ends up being her key to the box, I will laugh so loud.
"I feel like I'm on a raft and surrounding me is an ocean of dumb."- Mr. SarkUh, what does it matter if we have a cameo of a pony who looks like one of the characters from EQG? EQG was full of humans who were unrelated to, but looked a lot like, the ponies.
What, was he another transfer in the movie? Because I've not seen it yet in full.
I have a message from another time...At the end of the movie, Generic Love Interest- I mean Flash Sentry did turn out to have a pony counterpart, who Twilight then had a pointless ship tease with. And now he made a cameo despite Megan stating that he wouldn't be in S4......
Anyways, I thought the episode was hilarious. Discord has became even more of a troll since the last time we saw him, if that's even possible. And his song was hilarious for all the crazy stuff in it.

Mostly just the fact they went and had Twi interact with pony!Flash in almost the same stupid, "Bump into a giggle and act all flusters because he's cute" way Non-Pony Twi and Flash interacted.
Personally, I just hate seeing him around because he's so out of place compared to the rest of the guards.
I really hope Discord making it rain spaghetti on Twilight and Cadance wasn't a reference to the use of "spaghetti" as an ableist slur started by 4chan. I highly doubt it was, but somebody on Know Your Meme has already made the connection.
Flash making a cameo doesn't affect the episode one bit, so people going into conniptions because of him is very stupid.

Heh. So it's not even a cameo of the same guy from the majority of the movie? It's his Equestrian counterpart? I see.
Well, if it's a big deal to you guys, hen I guess I'll just let you get on with that.
How would that even be conne-
Nevermind, this isn't a topic I want to pursue either.

I have a message from another time...Considering the context (random Discord silliness on two alicorns) there's a near 0 percent chance of that.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

Discord is Harry's secret younger brother who's also better at magic than Harry and Hermione falls in love with him and Voldemort considers him even more of a threat to his evil schemes. Original character DO NOT STEAL
