Bridlewoodstock:
It’s good to have the CG show back. It feels like its been ages since that last big drop. *checks* I guess those first 8 episodes dropped about 8 months ago. Better part of a year. 6 months since Winter Wishdays.
“This is kind of SPOOKY isn’t it?” Pipp really does like horror, doesn’t she?
Hmm, leading her friends into a dark forest in the middle of the night…must be a party!
Oh, its…nothing. I guess that’s better than SOMETHING, most of the time in Equestria.
GLOWY THINGS! Glowy things are always cool looking. The Luma Bloom.
Yeah, those sure look like parasprites, don’t they?
The fireflies are attracted to singing…okay. I don’t know what that has to do with glowing, but fine. This is setting up something. I’m guessing TOO MUCH noise ends up making them swarm uncontrollably? (I guess that WASN’T setting up anything, huh…)
Now THERE’S a creepy laugh. You have to be born with a laugh that creepy.
A sailboat of tortilla chips…well, maybe if you’re sailing on a river of salsa.
“Why does your face look like that?” “I WAS BORN THIS WAY!”
The Troggles…I wish they had a better name. So, basically Shrek. Huh…I wonder if Posey would actually kind of understand where the Troggles are coming from. She doesn’t like people all up in her garden, either.
I do kind of love that Izzy still does the jinxie dance whenever she mentions a superstition.
Sure, don’t listen to Izzy. That won’t blow up in all your faces.
Sunny was planning on eating ALL those pancakes by herself? I guess being the alicorn means you burn a lot of calories.
Also, ZIpp only has ONE pancake? She eats like a bird…that might actually be the joke.
They’re already having smoothies at breakfast. I guess they really are pushing this as Sunny’s thing.
Okay, Izzy holding a pancake in her mouth is cute. Let this get fanart.
Man, that Magic Mirror that changes your outfits is a little creepy. How long until it becomes sentient and rises up against them?
I mean, it’s really only a matter of time before they form a band, anyway. Might as well be now. Hasbro probably has the playset all ready to ship.
Ruby Jubilee! We have our celebrity voice cameo for this season!
The Dream Lands! (Not the Dream Valley Girls?) Oh, a G1 reference, I wasn’t expecting that. How old is this band going to be, though? Is that the joke, they’re a bunch of old ladies now?
And Minty, too. They’re referencing a lot of stuff. Hasbro DOES know the Minty everyone remembers is from G3, not G1 right? First the crossover comic, now this.
I don’t know if Zipp really needs her special headset for this, but it’s nice it’s getting used.
Electric Blue really just chose his band-mates based on their colors. They match so well. Or they’re siblings. They do look pretty cool.
“Hey princess! How’s your sister?” Ouch. That’s got to sting a little. Zipp’s always in Pipp’s shadow to the pegasi.
“It’ll be..so..rocking! Yeah!” Zipp’s not good at this.
Oh, they’re going to promise the headline spot to EVERYONE…ugh. Fine, sitcom shenanigans LETS GO!
“Wild rubies are in season” …Huh? I mean…I guess that’s how it worked in G4, too, but it’s weird to put it like that.
Oh, we actually get to see Grandma Figgy again. She wasn’t just a one shot character. She’s a TWO shot character now!
Minty, Snuzzle and Blue Belle…wait, are those the names of the Six Original Ponies? *checks* Yep. Okay, that’s a cute reference. But, now I’m wondering about what happened to the other three. (Butterscotch, Cotton Candy, and Blossom).
Onyx and Dapple, good to see them again.
“You don’t?!” Big eyes! Such hope in those eyes. Oh, Pipp.
“Bing Bong” Oh…this is still a thing. I thought the unicorns were over this, but I guess not.
So, how long until one of those marshmallows ends on up Izzy’s horn? (Never…this is blasphemy of the highest order!)
Huh. Sparky’s sneezes usually turn things INTO food. This time he turned food into a butterfly and a beach ball. Strange.
Sparky really konked out fast. Guess running around chasing that bunnycorn really tired him out.
Snuzzle…I still can’t get over that name.
How long IS the journey from Bridlewood to Maretime Bay? Sunny roller skated there in less than a day. Everyone’s really getting their steps in lately.
…Why is that unicorn polishing that rock?
Those foals were playing Monopoly (…Mareopoly?). Zipp probably saved their friendship by ruining that game.
Hitch, you’re right there. Bust that unicorn for…whatever he’s on. He’s holding SOMETHING for “a friend”.
Man those two unicorns just Looney Tunes-ed right out of that scene.
“I’m going to try and lean into the whole music festival experience for my sister” “Me too” …Hmm…(Hitch/Pipp shipping intensifies)
You know, if Hasbro can make the Bridlewoodstock toys as glowy as these ponies are in this special, they might actual have something. I like all the glowstick stuff on these ponies.
I really like the “Primrose-type” unicorn design. But…there seems to be a few recolors. A purple one and a more green one. Could they be sisters?
…Huh…Is riding a carousel with pegasi-shaped rides seem weird to anyone else? I kind of want to see someone ride one of those to see how weird it looks for a pony to be riding on top of a ceramic pegasi.
“It helps me forget how SUPER JINXIE this all is” That’s right you push those feelings down. Deep down. Nothing bad can come from it.
3D fries! I don’t know why, but it feels weird to see them.
“With DIPPING SAUCES” Okay, I’m sold. HMMM…unspecified sauces. *Homer noises*
Pipp is doing a REALLY good job of forgetting the monsters they keep telling her about over and over again.
Oh, Pipp busted out the “Zephyrina”!
*Eye twitch* Well…you done broke Pipp.
The Friendship Fellowship of the Unity Crystals! I think that’s the first time they’ve been called that.
I like the glow-stick-star on Izzy’s horn
ANNNND…they’re convincing everyone to go first…at the same time…ugh.
“Aren’t…YOU a pop star?” You know what…that’s actually a clever workaround. I had forgotten that myself.
Oh, so Troggles are more like ghosts.
I mean, this isn’t really a “headbanging” song, but you do you, background pony.
Shouldn’t you still be able to take pictures, even without wifi?
Troggles steal voices. Okay, that’s a little more horrifying that I was expecting. The G1 characters really should be used to this kind of thing, though.
“But…But..THE SHOW!” Pipp’s still has her priorities, even in the middle of a crisis.
The Troggles…willingly accept death. Okay, these guys continue to be slightly darker than I was expecting. I wonder why rubies, though.
Ruby glue? Fine. Also, Pipp’s “Why-hi-hi did we do that?”
Glue is NOTHING to the power of the Alicorn! This is not as impressive as they want it to be.
“Generations coming together” Wait…are the other two bands supposed to be references to other generations too? I did NOT pick up on that, if that’s the case.
Heh…Sparky’s beach ball came back into the story. Nice touch.
