Hi! It's a joy to watch your reactions to the episode, and thank you for brave honesty in sharing your thoughts on Maud's line about rocks not excluding her.... I think we all feel that way sometimes, and the more we can spread the love, the better we make the world! BROHOOF!
I...I, I....uh....w-well, hello there, good sir! I am greatly honored by your presence on my channel! I do not feel worthy! Also, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm very glad you enjoyed my reaction and commentary. And my thanks to you as well, for this and all the other great episodes you've written for us. I would love to meet you some day and shake your hand, but for the moment, BROHOOF! /)
Like i said in my reaction, "I have confidence in Confalone," you did not disappoint good sir which is probably why i rambled for like 15 mins explaining how good it was at the end of the video rofl!
I love those episodes of what you do
Good question
Oh my. Never thought i'd see a great writer for the show appear here. It's an honor to see you here.
I noticed that Starlight has an interesting ability of becoming friends with characters that the Mane Six specifically DIDN'T become friends with instantly. Like Discord, Thorax (Twilight had to be convinced by Spike), Maud, and most of all, Trixie. Perhaps because all those people have some sort of uninviting past. The Mane Six members all have their faults, but they had relatively emotionally-struggle-free pasts. Bonding over personal problems is a way for many to make the truest friendships.
BlueTeller it's like a new version of the Mane 6 : Starlight, Trixie, Thorax, Sunburst, Maud and Discord.
Please do NOT forget Angel Bunny.
He is the Supreme Evil, and he LOVES her.
It would be interesting if Starlight would became Lightning Dust friend or Flim and Flam.
and sunset
For me, Starlight is the human world 7th Element of Harmony: Empathy
7:56 Ok, can we appreciate how smooth that animation looked when she turned her head.
yes
@@tendo2815 Good.
Pinkie's impersonation reach over 100 levels, there is no character can reach that level, Dash is no longer impersonation champion :)
Personally, I think that in Maud Pie, Pinkie DID learn that she couldn't force a friendship to appear, but she learned that she couldn't force her FRIENDS to form a friendship with Maud when they have very little in common. I think what she did learn was that she can't force Maud and Starlight to become friends immediately when they already were at their OWN pace and without her interference.
Seriously I love this episode.
lol
me to
Matthew Lo APPLEGEEK they leaked out ep 5 of season 7 if u want to get it look for it online it legit
It's not a leak. From now on Canada will be releasing two episodes at once. I think it might be so that Canada can get season 7 done with in time for the pony movie.
I looove Maud. This episode was a great episode.
I definitely wasn't expecting Maud & Starlight to become friends in this episode. Nice curveball writers.
How about the fact that Maud helped her with enslaving the town?
Pinkie: TELL. NO. PONY.
ShadowDJ94 I wasn't expecting that either. This episode is awesome in so many ways.😂
Wonder how the Analysts are gonna react to that XP
...I can just see Silver Quill getting all tongue tied while Firebrand stares in shock :P
I absolutely loved it. Maud is an interesting contrast to basically everything in the show, and she's one of the few ponies always wearing clothes. I find it insightful to see characters like her to develop my own characters.
ShadowDJ94 It will definitely be interesting to see.
Here are my highlights for this week's episode:
1:25 Hi Maud.
1:37 Hi Boulder.
2:05-2:29 Pinkie trying too hard to make something exciting. Also, nice speech Maud: short and to the point.
2:52 Nice joke dude.
3:09 Don't worry UA-camrs, there's nothing wrong with your sound. It's just Pinkie.
3:31-3:34 She didn't mean it literally Pinkie.
3:47 This is the best imitation we've ever seen, period.
4:52 Pretty.
4:58 Oh, wasn't expecting that.
5:10-5:14 She didn't mean that literally Maud.
5:29-5:33 I like her, too. I'm glad she was referenced.
5:50 Poor Rarity.
6:00-6:03 Wouldn't Rarity have been a better choice Pinkie? The three of you did spend time in Manehatten together.
6:10 It's been a while since we've seen that.
6:41 I agree.
6:55 I agree again. I don't think many people give it the credit it deserves.
7:01 I agree again (x3).
7:06 Hi Tank.
7:13 That's animal cruelty.
7:22 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon.
7:27 Pinkie's mind: "Pretend to be a rock or I'll kill you!"
7:33 Pinkie turns into a ballon.
7:52-8:11 Wow, that just added a whole other layer to her character. Who knew she felt that way.
8:13 Maud's full name is revealed.
8:22 Uncomfortable regurgitating.
8:24-8:29 Being Autistic, I can sort of relate.
8:38-8:53 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...silence. Oh. I guess the world doesn't bend to Pinkie's will...Que Starlight Glimmer!
9:05 Have they? I don't think they have. Wait, what?!
9:14-9:20 Creepy Pinkie.
9:25-9:52 I don't think any of us expected that.
10:00-10:08 Yeah, definitely don't tell anybody that part. Also, STOP BRINGING UP STARLIGHT'S EVIL PAST!
10:44 Pinkie seems really enthusiastic about those slippers.
10:58 STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF STARLIGHT!
11:11/11:22 Hi Derpy.
11:26-11:28 The question has been answered! Why does Starlight have kites in her room (Season 7 episode 25)?
11:47-11:57 Thanks for the kite info.
12:01 I agree - it's nice to see a different side of Starlight, too. Also, Pizza is canon!
12:15 Hi Derpy (again).
13:14 Wait, 600? Is she talking about Boulder or Starlight? How old can non-alicorn ponies live anyway? Could it be they age differently and that's why none of them have grown in 7 seasons? Could it be I'm just overthinking things?
13:18 Nice joke, Maud. She really is good at comedy.
13:26-13:32 Oh, more of this. I like it.
13:44 Only the second time we've seen Maud smile.
13:56 Oh my gosh!
14:37-14:57 Pinkie that is going too far!
15:16 They're not cows!
15:41 That's not the way she bounces!
15:48 Only the third time we've seen Maud smile - although never like that!
15:57 Ponies have onesies?
16:24-16:34 I keep expecting her to burst out in rage. But then I remembered it's Maud.
16:52 Clapper lights are canon.
17:26 Poor Pinkie.
17:41/18:25 Brutal honesty.
18:53 Rock fire.
19:01 I don't think you're meant to say that part of the script Maud.
19:16 I know it's Equestria and all, but how are there giant eels living in mountains with no water?
19:41 I love how she just carries on working, not realising she's being eaten.
20:45 Oh.
21:01 Touching moment.
21:28 And Starlight, don't forget her Pinkie.
22:34 Wrong way indeed.
Overall, another great episode.
By the way, you don't suppose they're starting to build up a new Mane 6 do you? There's already Starlight, Trixie and Maud, and we're only 4 episodes in. Plus, there's another season on the horizon.
38:11 That makes sense. When we met Twilight, she made friends all at once. Starlight is taking things one friend at a time.
Nice comments. Thanks for your note about the kite info. I think you're the first person to actually mention those notes I put in there. I was curious about that stuff so I looked it up, and figured I'd share. After all, this show is supposed to be educational, right? ^_^
Poor Starlight.
This is by far my favorite episode so far this season. It's freaking season 7 and they are still delivering fresh ideas! If they keep this momentum going, who knows it may be my favorite. Throw in something as epic as COTLM and i'm sold.
After Starlights redemption she has become "the normal pony," introduced into a brand new world that she isn't accustomed to. In a way she's a character we can connect with. Near the end of the episode when Pinkie confronted Starlight about Maude missing, Starlight basically repeated verbatim why she likes Maude, and for the Maude fans out there its pretty much the way we feel about her. In a world of sunshine, happiness, and joy, Maude is the the antithesis to all of that. And that's why we love her.
Maud is the rock that keeps us all anchored to reality - thanks to reading your comment I finally found the words to describe why I liked her! XD
Season 5 is still my favorite; not because of COTLM or because of Slice of Life but because of Amending Fences; which is my favorite episode of the entire series. But, if they keep going this might end up as my second favorite season of the series. Spike's been a great character, Flurry got character development (despite being a baby), Maud moved to (near) Ponyville). Celestia had some character development in the premiere; ect extra.
+Applegeek:
Rarity: What are you doing now?
Maud: Talking to you.
Why have I never thought of using that before? It's brilliant! I am so happy that Maud moved to Ponyville, I was actually expecting them to make some sort of excuse for her to go to that other place, but nope she's staying in Ponyville! Love it; especially since Maud is one of my favorite characters in the entire series. You know this episode has made me really appreciate Pinkie Pie more, she's really calmed down a lot; which I know is a weird thing to say concerning this episode, but she rarely acts this crazy and random. The only reason she acted this crazy and random was because she wanted her sister Maud to move to Ponyville, so yeah this episode has made me really appreciate how calm she's gotten compared to how she was in season 1 and 2. Great reaction and can't wait for more! XD.
"That's a tortoise." Fluttershy would like the accuracy
This episode was rock solid! This episode was Rocktastic! Never going to take Pinkie Pie or Maud Pie for granite again, okay I'm done with this. XD.
Maud is a genius. That is why she a Doctor
+iman ishraf: No Maud rocks, that's why she's a doctor. lol. XD.
I always use that.
+Appleseed: Awe thank you! I like your avatar of Apple Bloom, really cute. XD.
7:13-7:15 "WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON, TANK?!" Pinkie pie, I know you have the ability to break the fourth wall, stop the very fabric of time, and travel through different dimensions and what not, but unless you want to get the Stare from Fluttershy, or get sonic rainboomed out of Ponyville to the very ends of Equestria itself by a certain rainbow-maned pegasus, you'll think twice, maybe even THREE times, before yelling at TANK.
10:21
Did anyone else mis-hear Pinkie's first "Offer to help" as "Awkward as hell!", because I sure did! XD
Pyre Vulpimorph i do
I did but at least she repeated it or who knows where this might have gone for pinkie🙄
Now I can't unhear it
Pyre Vulpimorph I did hear it
For some reason, I heard "Offer to hell" 0_0
also boulder had his own seat at the graduation , saves the day in the cave, and is now a lumber jack WHY HASN'T MAUD MET TOM YET XD boulder vs tom a dual of the rocks.... there just sitting there
I dunno, I personally think Boulder is too good for Tom. XD
Applegeek NICE
And this is why I'm subbed to Applegeek XD
Poor Tom. Having being the "lackey" of the "god of Chaos and Disharmony"; the rock who _broke_ one of the Spirits of the Elements (and kept her "fixated" on him, nudge, nudge); is some bad reputation he may not get over with in a millon years... (let´s not speak of this ever again).
Fact: I ship Tom x Boulder. #ShipTheAntiMainstream
OH RIGHT one more thing, so agree on the call backs and continuity. It shows just what you gain by having a show go this long. You have so much you can call back on, so much that makes this a developed, living world. It makes it feel more real, more authentic, just, more like what at their best stories should feel like, windows to another world.
ATTENTION EVERYONE: After consideration of various factors, I decided to go ahead and react to episode 5, which aired today on the Treehouse network in Canada. I opted to do this because A) I was informed that this episode did not suffer from any censorship, and B) a full episode being released early was likely to drastically increase the chance of me seeing spoilers, such as show clips, fan art, and fan comics.
However, in the past, Hasbro has not been friendly to reactions to early episode airings, hitting them with worldwide blocks. As such, in order to respect their copyrights and release schedule, I will not be uploading my reaction to episode 5 until next Saturday, after the episode has officially aired on Discovery Family in the US.
That said, I'd just like to let everyone know that I did very much enjoy the new episode, and can't wait to share my thoughts on it with you all. See you next weekend!
Applegeek Hey episode 5 coming up soon cause I'm excited to see your reaction
This is really weird for me, because I usually look on porpouse for the typical low_level spoilers (like writters, main character, guest star, sinopsis) on the week before the airing of such episode [to be ready in case BigJim, the writter or the story editor post something on Twitter].
But in this case (for a combination of personal reasons and a bit of lazyness), I got here UNSPOILED of *that* FiM episode without even trying (after the reverse happened to me: _the fiasco of COTLM [S5E18]_ I stopped trying, as living under a rock with no WiFi is not fun).
So, THANKS Applegeek for the headsup, as I was not aware.
-> Looking it right now for a tv capture of the canadian stream.
What do you mean by "censorship"?
Networks in some other countries have even more strict content filtering than the US does, so there are times where certain bits of dialogue are muted, or possibly even scenes cut due to specific dialogue or visuals that are deemed inappropriate for young children to watch. I just didn't want to watch an episode that had been modified in any such way.
Applegeek How did you feel with Maud pie 😃
2nd Smile from Maud after the cowbells were gone as Starlight passed her.
Saw that but the first one got past me tho, Oops :)
14:49 I'd love to know who's bright idea was it to sell dynamite to Pinkie Pie.
Who's to say she didn't make it herself?
That is a... very terrifying possibility.
Her "humane" counterpart special new crystal power/ability is to accelerate the combustion of anything containing sugar by injecting oxigen into it through the use of wormholes. (Legend of Everfree DVD Director´s commentary)
[old Blue Element of Harmony = Octahedron = "Platonic" Solid = Air]
Trixie?
Great points overall, and yeah spot on. Pinkie Pie DID help, and Maud DID need her help to make friends. She needed Pinkie to give her that initial push to meet somepony new, get her over that intial hurdle. Pinkie just kept going past that way to far. But it she was needed/ So love that bit and how well done it was. Yes Pinkie was annoying, yes she should have known better, but that was the point. Her excitement over Maud living nearby, and desperation to get her to stay, plus wanting Maud to be happy and have a close friend? Yeah it's like a perfect storm for making Pinkie slip into over drive like that.
The rock taking over the world... might depend on what 'the right rock' is and be more a hypothetical. But you are right about the subtle hinting the staff does, however I'm less sure that was one, as I am with the cowbell thing. That on it's own, just a funny joke.. HOWEVER, given they name dropped Grogar last issue, and his shtick was being a powerful sorcerer who channeled his magic through a bell around his neck... Add in the comics, which this arc is supposed to tie more into the show then ever before and be based on stuff scripted out for Season 7.. and the current arc involves a pony going around trying to erase all record of certain periods in Equestrian history because he claims there is an ancient, powerful Evil that is returning which he is trying to erase from history..... Well again, That's exactly what Grogar was in G1.. a powerful evil whose city faded away only to return later.... This is looking pretty heavy on the foreshadowing...
Speaking of setting things up... you can actually see some kites in starlight's room in the S6 finale. So epic use of call backs. I REALLY want to know the behind the scenes story for that. Was loving Kites a thing they always had in mind for her and just never found a way to address directly? Did they notice them in the finale and work them into the script (unlikely giving time issues) or, did they write this script early enough they were able to add the kites in while animating the finale as set up? (Also saw another comment that made a great point.. Starlight loves kites? Well.. she does enjoy being the pony holding onto the strings.)
About the "Countess" Coloratura´s reference:
a) This is an alternate timeline were S5E24 never happened [caused by that one of Starlight Glimmer´s rays that missed Twilight and continued going down in the last timejump WITH the Sonic Rainboom...]
b) Rarity was cautious enough about giving Maud a precise identification of what (who) she was talking about [as otherwise Maud may had interpreted _"a new album made by a singer who has a "coloratura range"_ ; while by adding the "Countess" she establishes it is about an specific person that Maud may not know].
-> This may be also a callback on the previous episode he wrote were Rainbow Dash could had said "Spit Fire... you know, the leader of the aerial team Wonderbolts".
This is my favorite episode of the season so far, which is a considerable feat since All Bottled Up was so wonderful too! Starlight making friends with a bunch of the secondary characters, and thus getting those characters some development of their own? Good direction in my opinion, and it supports the underlying theme that not EVERY single pony is going to have their best friend be one of the Mane 6, even though they're the Archons of Friendship/etc. It's fresh and it's real and I love it.
About the gems, even if the ones in the cave are more common than she thought Rarity should take heart that most ponies aren't good at finding or working with them, so they are still valuable.
Diamonds were rather common on all continents (relatively speaking); but since most of the "easy access" ones are already mined [and the current deep/hard mines controled by a single MEGACORP]; their price is way over what it should be because of the regulation on their availability on the market.
It's kind of fun that if you go back to previous episodes (including some from last season) when there are shots of Starlight's room, you can occasionally see kites sitting around. So kudos to the writers for either setting that character trait up beforehand or picking up the detail and actually putting it to use.
There were a lot of things like that in this episode, honestly. Maud referencing rocks/gems with unusual properties that can give you power? Like, say, the alicorn amulet or the Dragon Lord's scepter? Starlight actually directly addressing Boulder as if he's a character himself, as opposed to most characters just kind of referring to him when talking to Maud? Referencing Maud's admitted love for standup comedy that we learned about during Discord's antics at the Grand Galloping Gala? Callbacks to locations like Ghastly Gorge and the gem cave? I don't know why, but I just love little tidbits like that. Also, Pinkie trying (and failing) to make use of the old "characters bond while trapped together" trope cracked me up.
The only thing here that got a little grating was that they pushed Pinkie's antics a bit too far, but at least it's better than some cases in the series since there was definitely a legit reason this time. Pinkie is always a little excitable, but she had a genuine reason to be invested in this situation, and it's not exactly unusual for people to go a little overboard when they're desperate. Given how Pinkie basically hangs on Maud's every word and action whenever we see them get together, it kind of makes sense that she'd come off a bit too strong when she was trying to convince her to stay in Ponyville. So I'd give that a pass compared to some other episodes where characters just seem to get their most annoying traits pushed to the Nth degree because they needed an excuse to push a certain moral/lesson, and their in-universe explanation is basically "Well, it's because...um...reasons."
Anyway, great reaction/commentary. Here's to hoping that we'll get to see Maud and Trixie meet and remember each other from Trixie's time on the rock farm.
Hmm, I never noticed the kite stuff in past episodes, will keep an eye out for that whenever I watch older episodes again. But yeah, that is really good build-up. As for Pinkie, yes, she was way over the top this time, classic storytelling technique of pushing an issue to the point of absurdity in order to make a point, far from the first time they've done it in this show. I still say, though, that it wasn't that far from reality. People do some crazy things for the people they love.
Whoa whoa whoa, when was Trixie on the rock farm? I think I either don't remember watching that episode or I missed it entirely.
I need to just go and watch all 6 seasons over again XD
It's from the episode "Magic Duel." When she's talking about how she was ruined by her humiliation in Ponyville during her first appearance, she talks about how she even had to work on a rock farm and it shows a clip of Pinkie's dad pointing her towards a pile of rocks.
Yeah, it was mentioned in Magic Duel. I had completely forgotten about that, actually.
Thanks you guys! It does sound vaguely familiar now. I'll definitely have to watch it again.
"I really like kites..."
Best line of the season.
You can tell Starlight hangs out with Trixie alot, when she said " ta-da, friendship lesson learned".😄
3:59, Pinkie: "Classic Maud sense of humor! You should do stand up."
Season 8 episode 3, Pinkie: "Called it!!"
That recolour on pinke with Maud 😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol
With the right stone you can rule all of Equestria. That could be for shadowing the season finally. What if Queen Chrysalis was listening and she's goes try to find the stone.
One of the two Muffins in this episode was a changeling.
Given the behavior of the one coming INTO Ponyville (through a road passing through the empty field for kites); I would say it was the other one in the middle of Ponyville [looking at asparagus with Daisy].
-> If I was an smart, wise and mischievous changeling I would only take the form of a pony I know it is either trapped or out of town for a while... maybe after you send her away on a random delivery...
If it was Chrysalis, then she is doing the same as Starlight did through S5 [taking notes of how overpower/trigger her target, what she likes and what she loves...].
Now I had to rewatch S7E02 again... in a big 1080p screen... very closely.
Johnathan Funk I'm more on the wall flower here
infinity stone?
The lumberjack Boulder visual gag was referencing the phrase "bury the hatchet"
16:50 this is the most emotional face i ever seen from Maud!
Okay wow... that location....anyone writing a Human aim Equestria Fanfic should remember that one...since it isn't used til this season,that gives you a long time to work with it in a story ,possibly the whole time since some people don't write to the later seasons.
16:46: Yeah I reacted the same way too. I was so hoping that Maud would move to Poniville and shocked to see it would be Pinkie's fault that she wouldn't. It was depressing but fitting. I wouldn't live there under these circumstances, too.
Luckily Pinkie learned her lesson and I love that Maud is now actually living near Ponyville.
Great reaction, Applegeek! :D
Was really entertaining to watch you.
ANdy Reacts :)
STARLIGHT SQUAD INCREASE +1 !!!!
Pinkie is always desperate.
But Rainbow is 1st place in being desperate.
Dude, they NEED to do an episode with Big Mac, and than the three, flutters by cheerlie and marble pie, I would love to see this happen
Maud and Starlight both killed it in this episode😂Definitly my favorite of the season. Which is hard to say because I loved every episode so far!
My gosh, Pinkie XD Who gave you access to Applegeek's stash of Red Bull?
Wait... HOW MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE MAUD LEFT TO CONGLOMERATE?! I mean college. Yeah. And moving to Ponyville! I sense amazing things resonating from the future. Callin' it now.
Oh my lord, Maud is talented. Don't cry Rarity.
Dude. That's a tortoise. - Parry Gripp
Yo Maud's name is great - and now that I'm actually looking at her model, I may use some aspects from it on my OC. xD
Ayy Starlight Glimmer! Long time no see- wait we saw you the episode before last, nevermind. But while I'm thinking, I need to try and predict who'll be Maud's friend...
"You're starting to grow on me." Is like Batman saying "Hello." of his own accord upon seeing you. Its amazing 0.0
Yay growth for Pinkie, Maud and Starlight!
Fun fact. If you look at Glimmer's cutiemark, it looks a lot like an upside down kite
That thought did occur to me as well, but it looks more like a star than a kite, and the star trail or whatever you call it looks more like aurora borealis, a.k.a. the northern lights. Maybe some day we'll get to see how she actually got her cutie mark, because we haven't seen that yet.
+TeMiddaydreamers MIND = BLOWN :o
yaaay this really was a nice episode i think, i really enjoy maud episodes and we haven't seen flaws of pinkie pies friendship strategies since the mule episode
Your reaction to Derpy and the pizza was exactly mine XD
"What is in their?"
ITS THE MIRROR POOL, RUN!
that was a great episode!!! I loved all the callbacks and Maud and Starlight's relationship growing! season 7 is gonna be great! :D
Discovering the Cavern like that is in reference to "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
Derpy: i got hit in the head with pizza today....it hurt but i don't care cuz i got free pizza! :D
"Usually, I get garbage thrown at me, but today it's pizza!"
"Is it muffin pizza?! :3"
I like pizzzza.
3:46 I can't stop laughed hard XDD
I start to love Starlight more and more each time we see her in episodes.
Agreed, Starlight going from a dangerous villain to a chaotic and funny friend xD
Maudelina Daisy Pie!!! I Got You OOhhh!!!! A.G .
This episode was amazing, a nice way to keep the gravy train of good episodes flowing. Applegeek, you and I had the same thought about Pinkie being forceful of having Maud make friends(referring to the episode "Maude Pie"). Although, I can understand that she only wanted Maud to be nearby in Ponyville; Pinkie was just going about it the wrong way. Besides that, Pinkie was very amusing in here, with her attempts to convince Maud to stay in Ponyville; especially when she shouts at Tank("Don't let Rainbow see you doing that.") That plot twist with Starlight and Maud in the past blew my mind though.😆
I think the thing with Rarity and and Maud is that for Rarity it's her magic, while for Maud it's her character. (Think about it would actually mean that Rarity's magic should have picked up, but well...=)
And I think you are right. Sometimes all the passion is less exiting if you can't share it with someone.
And like you said. A friene not always has to share the exact same interests, but also except you for who you are (although their has to be common liking =)
I love how maud was juts sitting there with her big eyes and eyelids and eyelashes when he said "no, just one of you..."
Actually, this episode didn't focus on Starlight at all. She was merely an add-on, which I think confirms she's more of a main character now, if that makes any sense. ...Which it doesn't. Only I don't know how to better explain myself. XD
Oh yes, and Maud Pie is officially my hero now. XD
+Kelaiah01 I know what you mean. I just meant that she was part of the story, not just merely a background cameo or something.
Ah, I see what you mean now. Cool. :) Also, I really like the new direction Season 7 is taking in focusing more on background/recurring/supporting characters, because really, the Mane Six have had as much development on their own as they possibly can have. The fact that the show is making good use of their expansive cast shows there's plenty of new material up ahead. :D
for every brony that loves derpy she gets a free pizza
How do you only have 8 and a half thousand subs?
I agree, he deserves more. XD.
Hear hear!
Ooh, a subscriber count that begins with an 8. These are pretty rare! Well, not as rare as 9, but usually when you look at subscriber counts they begin with either 1, 2 or 3.
my 2 only comments to this.
1. they fit every joke, irony, and reference they could into this.
2. WHAAAAAAAAT!!!! WHAT JUST HAAAAPPEEENNEEEEEEED!!!!
"I guess it has a solid foundation." I see what you did there /)
By this point, I have the feeling this is becoming the 'Twilight and Starlight Show'. Not that I mind.
3:47
Me and Applegeek: GREAT IMPRESSION!!! BAHHAHAHAHAGAGAHATSHSRA
Still kinda peeved at Pinkie for chucking a pizza at Derpy's head.
Oh, right, pizzas are now canon.
Still, she also gave Derpy a free pizza to make up for it, so there is that.
Me too.
+Star Sapphire Yeah, and judging by her eyes, she seems to get that a lot (I mean, pizza headshots). Hey, but at least she seems to like it :) She looked quite happy about free pizza :) And it's not that she doesn't pay them back: she throws muffins (and other, much heavier stuff) at other ponies' heads all the time ;) Remember Twilight's accident in "Feeling Pinkie Keen"? ;>
_"Oh, right, pizzas are now canon."_
[Starts thinking about pizza cannons...] :)
Bon Bon BWAHAHAHAHA Pizza cannons
6:09-6:10 WOW! Check marks come in "plush"...."emoji"...."paper"...and now crystal! What's next?? 🤣🤣🤣
3:47 Pinkie is like Genie changing her appearance of someone else.
Pinkies randomness just went from 100% to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000% in just under 7 seasons
Turns out you don't have to wait until next week for the next episode; it aired today in Canada and is already being posted online. According to sources, the Canadians will post 2 episodes on Saturday and Sunday of this coming weekend as well.
Starlight Glimmer : your messing with me
Maud Pie : Am I?
Lol, only MAUD can make TWO words so intense XD
Technically, that's two words ;> But yeah, that moment was awesome ;) Kudos to Mr. Confalone ;)
*DEATH STARE* Maud: "Kites are cool...."
2:28 - How to bro-hoof with a small rock; now I've seen everything!
7:06 - Poor Tank. He did not deserve that!
10:42 - I think that's Best Sister Friends Forever Slippers.
12:28 - I hope they haven't lost Starlight's kite during all this.
Does anyone else think it's a little sad that Pinkie has a twin (Marble) and yet it's Maude who is her Best Sister Friend Forever? I know there's no law that says twins MUST be closest to each other of all their siblings, but...
Pinkie with the check mark, it’s like hasbro knew about this channel and wanted to do a reference of him
I was so worried when the starlight first met maud and seem to know each other I was so worried that starlight had done something during her evil phase.
And all the puns were great, Sans whould be proud, and papyrus would be carrying out his nonexistent hair.
10:26 well that's just another similarity between her and sunset
I think we've meet before.........*idianna jones music *
Starlight love kites.
17:41 "You know what? Jalapeño red velvet omelettes sound gross. I-I just can't." This has to be one of the best in the entire show.
For a minute, I thought you were a kite nerd like Starlight. Then I realized, before you even mentioned it, you just looked it up. Eh heh heh...
Rocky? LOL! That's my favorite pun.
Many thanks for the information you displayed in the background, I wouldn't even bother googling for 10 seconds.
Starlight is so great, she has a wonderful personality.
Now that Maud lives in Ponyville-adjacent, we'll get to see as much as we see Zecora....
the reference to this episode was back from journey to the center of the earth
Lol Bonbon's like "get ur hooves off my wife!"
Hinata TheHolyKnight you mean friend? Cause their both girls only a man and woman can do the...well ya know
Rarity specializes in FINDING gems, not identifying the value of gems
Starlight: I feel like I don't want to talk about feelings omg this is me when I'm in therapy and am trying to tell about my week
I feel sorry for you.
We need a compilation of applegeek laughing
True.
I just realized that Maud, Starlight, Trixie, Discord, Luna, Moondancer and Sunset would all make good friends because of the connection of being seen as odd to everyone else.
11:26 The first Starlight kite obsession meme!
I *LOST IT* at the
*GASP* - Uh oh.. Oh no!.
19:15 - 19:20
Now that I think... Trixie actually worked at the Pies Farm, I wonder if they are going to address that
Ahhh the video that officially turned me over to Applegeek. And it’s the FIRST one I watched!
Pinkie talking slow reminds me of Dory talking whale.
1:31 "Did Pinkie get that from Lyra?"
Actually, Pinkie Pie had it first (see Sonic Rainboom)
Seems each new season needs at least one episode with Maud in it, and this one was pretty great! Maud's finally got her rocktorate, she's living adjacent to Ponyville, and she's made friends with Starlight! Starlight even made Maud smile _twice_ in one episode! That's definitely a record!
Pinkie's behavior was kinda grating, and kinda reminiscent of how Twilight was butting in on Starlight trying to make friends with Trixie, or trying to force friendships between Maud and the rest of the 6 in Season 4, but no one can deny she had her heart in the right place. She just wants the best for her sister, after all.
Other notes: poor Rarity, being told the gems she collects aren't rare at all (nice going, Dr. Pie, lol), and Starlight's adorkable passion for kites. =)
I think that Rarity's special talent is to find gems, as in just in general. I don't think that she can find specific gems. Sorry, I know this is really really late.
7:13 just imagine rainbow and fluttershy walking by
Looks like someone’s becoming rainbows tonight
Starlight isn't the pony that I was hoping for Maud to meet!!!
You have any problem with Starlight?
39:06 considering the alicorn amulet it would kinda make sense. actually now that I think about it that also gives credence to the crystal heart.
wow. opening up a lot of lore here. cudos to the writer
If you have heard of Liv and Maddy( on the Disney Channel;) The reference I am pointing out is when Pinkie Pie says "Challenge Accepted!" said by Parker Rooney (time stamp 4:32 -:35).
I'm more familiar with it being said by Barney Stinson, but yeah, I see where you're going with this.
Hey, just thought I'd mention your evil past, but, you know, no offence intended. (Starlight Shimmer & Sunset Glimmer)
As for "Countess", maybe Rarity is still hung up on the stage name, or maybe she used it to make sure everyone knows who she's talking about. "Rara's new album." "Who?" "Oh, sorry. Countess Coloratura." "LE GASP!"
At the very least, if they were actually stuck in the cave, Starlight could at any time, just teleport every one (except for Pinkie maybe?) out.
the most shortest speech that i ever seen...XD
I love your videos, i can't stop smiling at every reaction from you.
Also Maud saying that with the right stone you can rule all of Equestria and later in the finale they use Stonehenge to bring back the Pillars of old Equestria.
Good episode, there was good character development for Pinkie, Maud and Starlight which was great to see. Also Starlight's weird obsession with kites is cute.
3:34 I had the same reaction as you about that Dory reference too.
12:16 imo, I feel bad that Derpy is the one who get chucked by Pinkie's flying pizza in the head. Even if it's suppose to be funny and Derpy's got pizza for brains now.
Freeze on 12:31 - Pizza Face!
Overall, Maud is a pony of a few words, wise, perceptive, resourceful, tactless and well-aware of her sister Pinkie's antics of knowing when to slip away of her nuttyness. The subtly cues and cordial relationship really works with Starlight Glimmer.
In some way, Maud reminds me of my high-functioning autism, who rarely smiles or show any facial expressions and sometime unintentionally be too blunt or tact without offending the other party, lack of empathy and failing to detect sarcasm. But for what's Maud lack from a normal pony, she appears to be highly aware of her surroundings and has good listening and eyes for attention-to-detail, as well as being knowledgeable in her interests in rocks and minerals and graduating to become a doctor.
I guess it does raise an interesting question: what kind of shitty life do you have to have where getting pizza thrown in your face is the best thing that can happen to you?
The Pits' life: where you got nothing left to lose or always desperately worrying about what's going your next meal. Or, you're just a nuisance or a stepping stone to others that's like a free target to abuse or attack you like shouting insults at you, throwing rocks or even strangely, a box of pizza.
The only thing better than pizza is free pizza 🍕
Her liking kites came out of nowhere? She had 3 in her room at the end of last season.
