00:33 Twilight Sparkle? Did…did I just accidently start the wrong thing streaming? I mean, there are quite a few pony things on my Netflix list…so…huh!
Also, no MLP leitmotif? Booooooo!!!!
1:14 Uhh…Rarity? What’s up? She seems a bit out of character here.
So, yeah, even the first time watching it, I pretty much had the red pony pegged as the big bad. Love it or hate it, Netflix does not do subtle.
And somehow even the first time watching it, I pretty much had Ms. Cloverleaf pegged as the dragon.
That is one thing about this movie. I went through predicting several things and I was actually dissapointed when I turned out to be right. Like, they don’t even try to throw in a red herring or unforeseeable plottwist.
Sunny is cute, though.
4:26 Okay, about this postcard they send out into the world…it’s a nice moment and all, but I don’t think these two thought it out. They’re inviting unicorns and pegasi to their town offering friendship. Now, assuming some peppy purple pointy head unicorn with a penchent for putting perfectly picturistic balls on her head should actually take up their invitation some time down the line, you already know she’s only going to find 1 friend and a whole city full of earthponies absolutely terrified of her…WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS!
6:25 Wow! That’s the worst case of bedhead ever…and all she needs is a couple hair bands to fix it? How did she even braid her hair with her hooves.
Okay, throughout this montage I can’t help but notice her father’s not around…and he doesn’t appear throughout the rest of the movie. Sprout’s mother is still alive…so it wasn’t age. So…banished? Executed? Business trip? Dead? Let the wild mass guessing begin. My money’s on dead.
Especially since they just zoomed in on a picture of her father with his glasses right next to it.
And (running gag), she straightens the picture on her way out. So I guess FiM started a thing were every lead pony from here on out has to have OCD?
Aaaaaaand, music montage..the one constant for all MLP generations!
Ugg, not only is Sprout a bigot, he’s a dick to his own kind too!
You know, I’m all for anti-racist stories and all, but Netflix really is about as subtle as Pinkie Pie in a room full of Mauds.
So yeah, Hitch is totally the new Fluttershy. I mean, he’s not shy or anything…but he’s definitely got the animal thing going.
Okay, even the first time I watched it, I knew Sunny was going to do something cringe worthy at this get together. My question is, what on earth does she think is going to happen. I mean, has bursting up on stage and giving a speech ever worked for her. I mean, obviously not. It got her banned. She doesn’t think a change in tactics may be in order?
11:13 This grin…you already know it ain’t gonna end well.
I just figured it out. Phyllis Cloverleaf, I just figured out who she reminds me of. Remember the Fairie Godmother from Shrek 2? I mean, different voice actress of course…but those glasses, that sickenly sweet sweetness hiding a dark, malevolent nature? Am I the only one?
12:58 Poor balloon guy. I feel like I should keep count how many times we see him in this movie. Ding! +1
*sigh* Seriously, what does Sunny expect to happen?
14:25 Seriously…all that button pushing and “it has to go through the cycle” bs…they didn’t once think to pull the hugging power plug?
16:25 Hitch asks a fair question.
18:06 And here’s the star of the movie! Ain’t she adorable?
18:33 Yeah, Hitch, I think everyone knows by now that this is not a drill!
It’s just slime. I don’t think it’s seriously going to hurt you…or else Sunny would’ve already been screwed.
20:20 And now Sunny’s a fugitive. This escalated quickly.
Sure is a lot of collateral captures here.
Sunny does realize that Hitch knows where she lives, right? How long does she think they’ll be safe there?
I question Sprouts definition of “completely surrounded.”
So how many times is Sunny going to ask Izzy if she has any magic?
23:45
Sunny: What else do unicorns say about earthponies? (besides smelling like sardines)
Izzy: Oh, just that you’re lazy and not the brightest crystals in the forest.
Sunny: Charming!
Izzy: No, just those three.
*spit take* *lmao*
Music montage. *sigh*
25:24 Balloon pony sighting. +2
Okay, so Sunny and Izzy are in a foggy canyon when all of a sudden a shadowing figure zipps from place to place. I understand that this is supposed to be scary/suspensful…but even the first time watching it, I knew it was just going to be Zipps introduction. So…kinda falls flat?
28:52 The second star of the movie makes its first appearence. Izzy is never going to live that tennis ball down, I don’t care how many seasons G5 runs.
32:35 “What else could go wrong today?” WHY WOULD YOU ASK THAT!!!!!
34:00 Oh yay! Villian music montage. I mean, not that I have anything against villian music montages. “Open Up Your Eyes” and “Be Prepared” were awesome. But Sprout…I mean…ugh…Sprout! Not even a villian I love to hate. I just…ugh!
Netflix truly is as subtle as a rainbow acid trip in a “realistic brown” video game.
38:22 Aww! No more tennis ball? *is sad*
38:48 So…Hitch knows what pegasi feathers taste like? Are we not going to question that?
What is it with Hitch and animals? Were they really so hard up for a Fluttershy stand-in?
This whole sneaking in to Pipp’s performance, I almost expected a cardboard box and some pony have an exclamation point appear over their head.
Music performance. Actually, this one’s kinda catchy
47:27
52:27 “Maybe it’s for the best. Between you and me, buddy, that badge was creating an unhealthy power dynamic.”
Not so much what she said, but how she said it, is it any wonder why Izzy’s my favorite.
52:35 Can’t quite put my finger on it, but something’s not quite right with that bridge.
53:22 Balloon pony sighting +3
55:00 See? SEE!!??!!?? That one note from when Sunny was a child started all of this!!!
So, just taking stock of things: 2 earth ponies, 2 pegasi…1 single unicorn. Unicorns got hosed!
56:22 Oh hey! the MLP leitmotif. I totally missed that the first time. Cute! So it actually DID make an appearence.
Okay, yeah it’s another musical montage…but it’s Izzy…soooooo…forgiven?
And those glasses are so hugging cute!
What a cheery place!
Pony Dance Dance Revolution…is DDR actually still a thing? Cause I haven’t even seen it in a long while. Is it really still a thing?
So, one pep talk later and all of a sudden Sunny’s good at this.
And this song (It’s Alright) actually is my favorite on the soundtrack. Too bad it has such a small part here.
Yeah, who didn’t know that those forbidden words would come in handy? Nice that Hitch had a moment.
Okay, honestly, first time watching I knew something was up since there wasn’t an earthpony crystal in the mix. I mean, seriously, did anyone here not wonder at this point why there wasn’t an earthpony crystal and then were totally not surprised when this didn’t work?
Yup, what’s a kids movie without that one part where the hero’s hope is completely shattered and they go home totally defeated and not feeling like they can go on?
And of course you already know that the crystal has to be in Sunny’s house. Where else would it be?
Lamp…LAMP…
LAAAAAAAAAMP!!!!!
Oh, the table sections move. If she figures it out, does she release the cenobites?
Oh, goosestepping and everything! Yeah, Netflix is about as subtle as a 40-day flood in a dessert.
Anyone want to join me in a round of singing “Wild Wild West?”
Hmm…still didn’t work. You don’t suppose it’s going to be one of those “the magic was inside you the whole time” things, do you? Nah! They wouldn’t do tha…DAMNIT!!!!
So…Sunny’s an alicorn now. Does that mean she’s a princess? How long before a new toy?
1:22:50
Sprout: Mommy, was I a good sheriff?
Phyllis: Uh, uh…look, a flying dog?
Me: Why has he not been slapped so much that his face is one big bruise? Someone please slap that twerp!
1:23:13 Balloon pony finally lands. +4
I really do wish Netflix wouldn’t pop up the suggestions right over the credits. If I wanted to back out of the credits, I know how to back out to the menu.
1:27:47 Oh good! “It’s Alright” plays in the credits as well. Don’t know why this song stuck out to me, but I do really enjoy it.
