Part 2 was an atrocity that played to all the worst elements of Mabels stagnant awful character and brought down the whole event. Weridmageddon had a great opener and satisfying ending. You mean "Mabel ready to grow up" Dipper was already ready. The mech fight was cool but pretty stiff. Sorry but for the 2010's GF absolutely still has the best cartoon finale.Įhem Apologies I think I may have over-reacted there. And yeah the finale song was good, but nothing can beat that bus ride montage of characters transitioning into the credits with the instrumental song that screams a perfect end to summer.
I mean sure the send off was nice, but absolutely nothing can beat the Mystery Shack mech showdown, and the sacrifice of Stan, plus the absolute heartfelt moments between the twins finally ready to grow up. At some point I'm going to have work through that walk through ponyville and see how everyones grown up (I noticed Diamond Tiara and Silverspoon talking to Perpmint Twist) but it'll be tricky and I may need to mute it to not start crying from that song. I know its going on in other way's but I will miss this. That really hurt.Ĩ) Interesting to see the crusaders have taken over as teachers at the school and is it just me or are their adult looks her just a bit different to how they were when they wished to be their sisters age?ġ0) I have a bad feeling about Spitfire given Dash is not only captain of the wonderbolts but apprently is copying her mane style as one might do to commenorate a fallen idol.ġ1) It was an interesting touch that the book Starlight gave Twilight had moving Harry Potter style photo's to commenerate events.ġ2) I agree with ending with the book closing on the chapter was a well made choice.Īnd finally I believe my opinion on this final episode of the show is best expressed as we need crying emojis. At some point in the time skip Granny Smith has passed away. Not sure if Fluttershy and Discord are friends or lovers, or for that matter Yona and Sandbar.ħ) I was already crying in that last song but then we get to Sweet Apple Acres as it hits the line about passing things on to the next generation and I realize there's no Granny Smith and Applejack was wearing her scarf. Still the fact the show was willing to do this is impressive.
Not so much of a fan of the Applejack/Rainbow Dash that was implied I feel Applejack and Rarity should be together like Twilight and Dash. Pinkie and Cheese with her having a kid is interesting that of all them she was the one who wound up a mother like Twilight (I still stand by my opnion Spike is her son, your's may differ).
ġ) I found Twilight and Spikes new look to be slightly odd, Spike's match's his childhood dream dragon quite well and Twilight seems to have grown into her Alicorn hood which means Luna is smaller than her now? Plus what happened to Cadence?Ģ) Interesting little glimpses into where everyone wound up like Gallus the royal guard, moved away from all his old friends like Twilight it seems as the rest were in Ponyville.ģ) The history repating with Twilight sending her best student to learn friendship seemed a bit odd to me as if they get together every month you'd think her student would have noticed.Ĥ) I did like the paper reporting on Lyra and Bonbon's wedding with them riding off in a carriage with tin cans on the back.Ħ) Then we have the big one of relationships sure its a time skip but they did actually put some of the mane 6 together. And: I plan to let myself grow and change as well, knowing that I'm never alone.Īnd now my reactions to the flash forward. It might not be in the same way or feel the same as it used to, but I'm glad I knew you and can count you as one of my friends. Now that it's over, I plan to stay with your adventures, just like your friends did. Thank you for showing me that change is a natural part of things, and that it's easier to face change when you're not alone-and for teaching me that, when you allow yourself to grow, you can become something amazing!īefore I discovered that Friendship is Magic, I had no idea how much a person or a pony could grow from meeting other amazing ponies. On the whole, I have to say, they gave FiM the sendoff it deserved. And I know there are some big changes in my life looming on the horizon-not sure when they'll get here or what exactly will happen when they do, but.the message of this last, last episode: that changes happen and that they're natural and need to resonated with me a lot. I.don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it, and while I didn't cry openly, I'm still feeling pretty clenched up inside from having watched it.įor me.shoot, I've NEVER liked change.
