You're the first reviewer to note Pinkie's golden lines in this ep. The one about the world being round had me staring at the screen in silence for a few seconds while I worked it out. Sometimes Pinkie logic can defeat logic itself.
you ever notice something a little suspicious about all of this? they find shelter in a cave in equestria. and the power of friendship manifests in a way that defeats some dark force coming after them. i have my suspicions that the fires of friendship is related to the Tree of Harmony. it well could be that they hide inside of the tree's own cave, and changed events in the story in order to hide and protect the tree.
Tad Dad They did not freeze by hate, then melt with kidness, survive and sing songs... More likely: They got cornered by the snow/cold horrors, and decide to sacrifice themselves to create a Tree that will avenge them, rather than just surrender and die (hence the gems of the Elements are actual soulstones).
One thing that I really like and I still think is very unusual is that Celestia and Luna did not create equestria. From what we know Discord took over and made everypony miserable until Celestia and Luna took him down and have ruled Equestria ever since. It is a more realistic portrayal than you would expect as Celestia and Luna are technically conquerers. They are obviously better rulers than Discord but the point still stands that they knocked him off the throne and then rather than humbly leaving the ponies to themselves again they opted to rule over them themselves. Because they rule so well nopony has really objected to their rule so it has stayed that way ever since. I really like that because it makes Celestia and Luna seem more flawed without degrading them in any way. They weren't the original rulers and they also weren't elected by the people, they took their position by force. It also makes more sense as they weren't born to rule and so friction emerged as one of them proved to be more charismatic than the other. Finally it makes Equestria seem like a more dynamic country if it's political system was not always the same and went through changes overtime. I really like the highly simplified characters since that's how it usually goes. Tales like that are for the masses and so they are boiled down as much as possible. These characters are supposed to be fictional and so are far simpler than the real mane 6. It far more gives it a feeling that this is a tale being told rather than something that is actually happening.
This is my favorite Season 2 Episode and this is what taught me that racism is wrong and that working together and love and friendship is more powerful than hate.
My little pony is now a show we need more then ever! America needs to come together and learn what the lessons are in this show and maybe we can fix our country!
They (somewhat) explain the flag in the Journal of the Two Sisters. Spoilers below. . . . . . . . . Immediately after the three tribes agreed to get along and founded Equestria, Starswirl went to Celestia and Luna and asked them to rule over the kingdom. Although Celestia and Luna don't control the sun and the moon until much after Equestria's founding, so maybe it's just the most popular old flag (like I feel like there were probably alternate versions of the first American flag until the one with 13 stripes and 13 stars in a circle won out).
Okay... I'm here because I just got around to looking for context on your Christmas Carol video. I gotta say, I still feel like this scenario calls for Doctor Who.
With your second question it's possible christmas trees and the like were the main surviving plants in their old home after the windigoes finally left - they became a symbol of the ponies struggle and of them coming out of the other side stronger and united and it's likely they first decorated them as they were easily decorated and probably not uncommon. And as for the whole one dimension character thing, I sorta assumed it was because the mane six are amateur actors and the roles of the leaders are so well-known to be "jerks who don't care about anyone/ just crazy" it would seem odd to be portrayed any other way. It would be like going to a pantomime and Cinderella's wicked stepmother was shown to be somewhat considerate towards her, it would come off not feeling quite right, I'd find it interesting, but probably not as overall enjoyable. But I never noticed the whole thing with Princess Platinum acting like a one dimensional Rarity and the same for Pinkie and RD, it was interesting!
Hey there’s another MLP Christmas special on Netflix called Best Gift Ever and it’s awesome, trust me you’ll love it Edit: could you also review it please if you want
to answer your questions 1 it's not surprising they used to current flag, For example, many people have a flag during the Fourth of July But when the holiday fist came around the flag was considerably different in design. using a more modern rendition allows one to feel a connection to the holiday. 2 it, like many other holidays, had traditions added to it over time and the meaning behind them have at times been lost too many individuals. do you even know half of the origins of your traditions?
Gungelion I like this explanation but raise many questions about the origins of Celestia and Luna since star swirl had an apprentice and we know he knew Celestia and Luna so where were they and how long ago was this
Henry:hearts warming eve is a big peenis Gordon: twilight rainbow dash apple Jack rarity fluttershy and pinkie pie are big peenis heads James: and Jayden's father dariuh is a big fat peenis head
i always wondered what happened to all of the other pegassi unicorns and earth ponies that didn't go off searching for a new land did they just freeze to death
ÇrêëpērKîd 3Ø5 Gryffindor - Considered good guys. Slytherin - Considered bad guys. Ravenclaw - Considered to be smart, and probably be the somewhat neutral party in a war. Hufflepuff - Considered to be brave....that's it. They could be called knights, but honestly, that's it.
What does a tree have to do with Hearth's Warming Eve? Ask yourself this: "What does a tree have to do with what Christmas is supposed to be about: the birth of Christ?" To both questions, the answer is likely the same: absolutely nothing. The tree somehow got added to both holidays somehow over the centuries.
+Nopporn Wongrassamee Yule, the tree come from the pagen-Germanic holiday of Yule where it was a symbol of life in a time of death. You will find that the traditions Christmas has a lot more to do with Yule and other assimilated pagan holidays then the birth of Christ. In fact Christ was most likely born in the summer (see Cell's joke)
Yet, the call Christmas On MLP, Hearth Warming which isn't that relevant to any phrase. Hearth Warming is just about a stove, that's it. it's a very misleading use of calling Christmas something else. in my Opinion, if it's just a kids cartoon, fine. but, most shows know what Christmas is and i got fed of the term "Winter Holidays!" as for Spongebob would say... Spongebob: You know if it wasn't for the Christmas ****, i wouldn't ********* work. it's the only time of the year, and then i ******** work, it pisses me off! you know it's like knock on wood, but m********** it's like *Tom Kenny stops swearing*
This episode is so good yet it gets ruin by how the bitching is. I mean why are they acting like that in the beginning. It just ruin it for me. But still good episode.
am i the only one who thinks that the play was written by celestia to make the times before her reign look terrible? that seems like a very celestia thing to do
lizardlord4k Well, she did trick Twilight into using a brainwashing spell on her friends for a test. Then changed Twilight's species without permission and gave her a job she had no interest or training in. Had any other character done this, they would have been the episode's villain.
Banchoking Oh. We're doing this now? Kay. One; we don't really know exactly what the hell that spell did. 'Changing destinies' is about as vague as vagueness comes, reality itself could've been altered I dunno. From what I can gather, even in-universe nobody knows what the friggin thing does. Two; different species? I wasn't aware she transformed into a goat or lizard. A different race/breed is not a different species. Three; esqueeze me? Twilight had been her pupil since literal kindergarten, lead her friends and saved the world three times at that point, and had been built up as Celestia's eventual successor since the first episode. Alicorn or not Twilight wasn't going to stay a librarian forever. And a full season's worth of character development later does it even matter anymore? Twilight is still the same bookworm she always was, just with a new pair of wings on her back.
+Bayden Cox ... Pfft. You didn't realize it was a big joke? Everything she was saying in the video were the stupid reasons why people hate Bronies and she was showing how stupid it all is. She even had at the end of the video telling everyone it was a big joke and that she was going to Bronycon. The biggest Brony convention in the world.

A Horrible Bosses movie with the MLP characters? That's...kinda awesome.
That hufflepuff joke made me choke on my water, good one (also, earth pony master race) (side note, hufflepuff is best house)
HUFFLEPUFF IS BEST HOUSE
Don’t go disrespecting Ravenclaw like that!
Hufflepuff pride!!! ... said the pegasus... but I'm an earth pony at heart.
Hufflepuff forever!
Hufflepuffs WOOOOOOOO!!!!
"Maybe this actually took place in the summer and this was circumvented with some pagan pony holiday."
Wow. I'm really happy that I got that.
you ever notice something a little suspicious about all of this? they find shelter in a cave in equestria. and the power of friendship manifests in a way that defeats some dark force coming after them.
i have my suspicions that the fires of friendship is related to the Tree of Harmony. it well could be that they hide inside of the tree's own cave, and changed events in the story in order to hide and protect the tree.
Head cAnon accepted

Head cannon acepted
For the second one
Well, now this headcanon is completely false.

You referenced Kingdom Hearts. You are now my new favorite person. :P lol
Well, in the wise words of the Squip: "Mutual hatred is the quickest way to form a bond."
This is my favorite Season 2 Episode and this is what taught me that racism is wrong and that working together and love and friendship is more powerful than hate.
Yes and then we will frease our self's because of conspiring crazy Facebook people
You didn't like the Hearth's Warming Eve carol? Dem's fightin' words.
This is my first time seeing her as a pony and I love it 😍
Ah, World Building. As a fanfic writer, it is the thing that drives my fingers across the keyboard. :)
My little pony is now a show we need more then ever! America needs to come together and learn what the lessons are in this show and maybe we can fix our country!

Good theory.
(And from what I heard, there were alternate versions of the American flag.)
Always nice to be part of the under 300 crowd.
Nathaniel Hellman But when it reaches 300, then what?
Alexander Washington You still know that you were here first.
Our holiday is more loved ones bickering while dying of heatstroke.
So we get to see your ponyself. I like it.
AAAAH YOU FINALLY HAVE AN OC!
WELCOME TO THE ANALYSTS!
Holy Shit, you're back!!! Awesomeness!!!!
Wait, I thought you disappeared. Do you have another channel that you've abandoned that I've seen?
4:08 WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT HUFFLEPUFF, CELLSPEX?!?!?!?!?!?!
Okay... I'm here because I just got around to looking for context on your Christmas Carol video. I gotta say, I still feel like this scenario calls for Doctor Who.
4:26
oh sweet Arceus
I got Until Dawn flashbacks
great as always, hope you review something italian one day!
TOOT TOOT THE NOSTALGIA TRAIN IS PULLING IN AT THE STATION ALL ABOARD TO FLASHBACKVILLE
Mlp is still pretty accurate to the current US politics-
I love cellspex as a MLP 😂💞

Maybe the greenery is there to show all of the crips regrowing after they die? I don't know...
1:36 Great joke, and so true, too! XD
Hey there’s another MLP Christmas special on Netflix called Best Gift Ever and it’s awesome, trust me you’ll love it
Edit: could you also review it please if you want
awww... I liked the song :< Especially in French....
Oh well. Awesome review Celly
***** Well, go sit at the table of Love and Friendship, where we also have the song "Smile". We shall stay over with every other genre song.
My theory behind the flag is that the organelle flag simply was lost to history and the prop department had nothing better than a modern flag.
Just like in real life constant complaining about anything really makes the world go crazy as I wonder their version of Thanksgiving looks like.
to answer your questions
1 it's not surprising they used to current flag, For example, many people have a flag during the Fourth of July But when the holiday fist came around the flag was considerably different in design. using a more modern rendition allows one to feel a connection to the holiday.

Gungelion I like this explanation but raise many questions about the origins of Celestia and Luna since star swirl had an apprentice and we know he knew Celestia and Luna so where were they and how long ago was this
I believe several of those questions were answered in the book the Journal of two sisters
oh thats out? is that a comic or a legit book?
www.amazon.com/Little-Pony-Chronicles-Princesses-Friendship/dp/0316282243
Gungelion
yh I already looked it up but thanks anyway
i dont get why people hate admitting that they are wrong.
id rather be wrong and informed than be right and ignorant.
I have a request, you should try the anime Amagi Brilliant Park. It's subbed and only 12 episodes long, but it is pretty good.
Ya hufflepuff's! (It's my house and I agree we you)
3:36 I UNDERSTAND U!😭😝
Henry:hearts warming eve is a big peenis
Gordon: twilight rainbow dash apple Jack rarity fluttershy and pinkie pie are big peenis heads
James: and Jayden's father dariuh is a big fat peenis head
HEY
I'ma Hufflepuff
3:36 this will be takin out of contest
i always wondered what happened to all of the other pegassi unicorns and earth ponies that didn't go off searching for a new land did they just freeze to death
Nerd By Northwest we’ll since the cold followed those looking for new land maybe warmth came into those ponies
There is no way this "CellSpex" is not Lightning Bliss.
Tbh mutual hate is one of the best way to make allies.
CellSpex the reason for the flag is the same as a American independence day play. a modern play that's set in the past will always use a modern flag
HufflePuff is awesome, screw ya'll
Joke/Grain of salt
ÇrêëpērKîd 3Ø5
Gryffindor - Considered good guys.
Slytherin - Considered bad guys.
Ravenclaw - Considered to be smart, and probably be the somewhat neutral party in a war.
Hufflepuff - Considered to be brave....that's it. They could be called knights, but honestly, that's it.
actually:
hardworking, determined, appreciate the simpler life
ÇrêëpērKîd 3Ø5 again taking a joke WAY TOO seriously
I'm also joking -_-
cellspex do you like regular show ?
aaah! A body!
Just a quick comment saying that your pony avatar should have eyelashes.
Wait windagos are humans turn monster canibals so are their version ponys turn winter canibals
Wait, is it HEART'S warming eave or HEARTH'S warming eave?
the hearth carol aint that bad
Ey man, dont hate on Huffelpuffs

You look sooo cute
am i the only one who thinks that the play was written by celestia to make the times before her reign look terrible? that seems like a very celestia thing to do
No... that's not even remotely like anything Celestia would do.
well she is a dictator who sacrifices baby dragons and has spent must of of her kingdoms resources on studying the controversal topic of friendship.

Yes, and Rainbow Dash hates children and wants to grind them up into rainbows.

Good review. I agree that that song SUCKS though 😜
Don't be rude about Hufflepuff!
5:13
I thought she said she hated bronys yet she is a from women that loves mlp
When did she say that she hated Bronies?
Brianna Chiavetta she made a whole video on them and how she hates them
+Bayden Cox ... Pfft. You didn't realize it was a big joke? Everything she was saying in the video were the stupid reasons why people hate Bronies and she was showing how stupid it all is.
