The best part of this is that Starlight is building her own friend group instead of just insta-gelling with the mane 6. Obviously, she's still friends with the mane 6, but she's obviously a very different pony, and is forming closer bonds with very different ponies.
Yeah, I adore what Starlight is doing.
I also realized that all the friends so far have some sort of connection with the Mane Six;
Twilight -> Trixie
Spike -> Thorax
Fluttershy -> Discord
Pinkie Pie -> Maud Pie
I've a theory Starlight will form more friendships like that:
Fluttershy - Treehugger
Rainbow - Lightning Dust
Applejack - Rara
Rarity - Suri Pollomare
@SciRei Fireshock
I think it's more like Rarity = Trixie since Twilight = Starlight.
I personally hope for Rainbow Dash -> Gilda and CMC -> Diamond Tiara (and maybe Silver Spoon). You know, fitting in with Trixie, Discord, Starlight, and, technically, Thorax as reformed villains. Also Spike (again) -> Ember.
Twilight's got her books, Applejack's got her apples, Maud has her rocks and now Starlight has her kites!
06:18 Finally a reactor who recognized that place right away :)
07:48 So you like me, because it's OutKast - "Hey Ya!" ;)
12:28 Hello, Satan :> Looks like we've got a new Sith lord in Equestria :q And she's already got her apprentice :q
19:39 "...and she knows where to find a rock which can allow me to rule all of Equestria" ;>
20:48 Implied death #1
20:57 Implied death #2 (through symbolism)
21:46 Implied death #3
Notice how it seems like Maud is looking right at the viewer when she says "I wouldn't mind one" and "somepony who gets me". She's talking to us directly!
I always thought she was looking away from the person because she was kinda shy or nervous about it. So direct eye contact can feel like a lot of pressure
13:58 - 14:03 , Well, actually there's at least four ways by now. Derpy Hooves, Ditzy Doo, Bright Eyes, and Muffins.
...
I'm going to run away from all of the different angry mobs. Excuse me.
*Sprints like crazy while screaming like Goofy does when he's falling off a cliff.*
I personally still call her Ditzy, just because I wasn't aware of a lot of the fandom stuff when I first started watching, and that's what I knew her as for the longest time.
I got in around the Derpy/Ditzy name issue, so I kind of bounce between the two. I've never heard her called Bright Eyes, though.
Maud - with the right stone you could rule all of Equestria if you wanted to.
Me - I`m listening.
loved how you and pinkie had the same expression when Maud wanted a friend lol XD
Okay, there were 2 lines from this episode that really touched me deeply.
1.) When Maud confided to Starlight another reason why she loves rocks so much: "They don't exclude you if you're...different than other ponies." I've always suspected strongly that Maud has Asperger's, like you and me, but that line I felt totally sealed it. Whoever thought that Maud was hurting on the inside from loneliness from being 'the weird one.'? :(
2.) When Pinkie breaks down crying at the end and sobs "Oh, Maud! *I LOVE YOU BIGGER THAN ALL EQUESTRIA!!!* ", that almost made _me_ cry too. That line sounded like it really came from the *gut* as well as the heart. Pinkie just adores Maud so much, and the feelings are mutual, even if Maud isn't as expressive.
This actually might be one of the top 10 episodes of all time, it's JUST that good.
What a show - your reaction is pretty much as expected too.
{ Maud is, low key, truly best pony!
I can relate so well with Maud in this episode. I don't really show much of an expression when I talk to people, and for me it's always been really hard to pick up on tones of voice, social cues, etc, so there are always a lot of misunderstandings for me when I'm talking to people I'm not very familiar with. And I also have this habit of deadpan delivery of jokes, which people often mistake for me being totally serious. Me meeting people that actually get me is incredibly rare, I actually only have one friend I still regularly meet. This makes me really unsure whenever I'm talking with new people, I'm not shy, but I have no idea if they get what I mean and I constantly have to wonder what they mean, since I'm pretty much entirely going off of context and best guesses. This is one of my favorite episodes so far.
So I just noticed at around 14:15 Maud makes a subtle eye gesture to Starlight that says "C'mon, let's go this way."
7:03 THANK YOU!!! iv watched alot of reactions to this episode and your the only one iv seen that also though of that
Pinkie's bat impression more than likely shattered a lot of glass.
I love how you put in Queen's Somebody to Love replacing the theme. One of my favorite old-time songs!
In case anyone forgot, finding rare things is Rarity’s special talent hence her cutie mark. Thinking those gems were rare, but only to find out they were common, you can only imagine the pain Rarity feels. To find out your skills for your special talent has gone dull
You know what? I like you being a bit late. Because it feels like seeing details form the episode for the first time, in a very entertaining company. Thanks for puting those up
I loved this reaction, Luffy. "Rock Solid Friendship" is one of my personal favorite episodes so far, so thank you for taking the time to view this one :)
Starlight's smile when she looked back up at the kite after Maud said "They're starting to grow on me" *clutches heart*
Man, watching this again makes me realize of how good would been a chapter with Rarity going to the same... University? that Maud to re-learn about gems!
this was worth the wait
Yay
16:54 did pinkie slap there flanks?
This is a great episode. Maude and Starlight have a great dynamic. Pinkie Pie is pretty good. The backstory on Maude and Starlight first meeting is great.
Great reaction and also: Was I the only one who was suprised when Maud said "...because I can shred on guitar like no pony else."?
I wouldn't be suprised if that was Equestria Girls foreshawdowing. I mean, Maud playing on guitar? Hell yes!
The most emotions we've got out of Maud. Narrowed eyes shortly followed by a sigh, and another sigh, and two small smiles with Starlight. Hm, wonder if there will be a triangle drama between Maud, Starlight, and Trixie...
"shake it like a polaroid picture!"
so we have Pinkimena Diane Pie and Maudalina Daisy Pie. I wonder what Lime and Marble's full names are?
That little smile at 15:15 is in a battle royal for my favorite moment of the series.
"We haven't seen Zecora in a long ass time" PREACH IT!
It's like they only ever use her when they need someone of knowledge and authority in the plot and they can't use Celestia. They could try to develop her more, give her a co-staring role in an episode or two, or even expand Zebras as a race, but NOPE.
nessesaryschoolthing The only time she had a consistent role was in the first 2
It's the rhyming I think, but maybe I'm just projecting. I couldn't make a rhyme to save my life.
thats okay, they're slowly killing her
How about a Zecora x Celestia episode? Hell, I'd settle for a Friends Forever comic.
I keep trying to make the argument that Zecora is too wise and flawless to feature regularly, but then I keep coming up with cool ideas to work around it. What if her rhyming is actually part of some kind of sealing ritual? Just get her talking about oranges and then BAM!: demon invasion!
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.
Also:"That's a tortoise." Fluttershy would like the accuracy
I always love episodes with Maud in them, and this was no exception. She's got her rocktorate (and is a licensed doctor now), is living near Ponyville in a _very_ lovely home, and has Starlight as a new friend! I'd say she's pretty lucky, eh? =)
Pinkie _was_ being kind of annoying in this one, but we all know it was only because she cares so much about Maud (I just wish we had some clue that she cared as much for Marble or Limestone, though she doubtless does). She's no stranger to innocent insensitivity, besides. Plus, it was both sad and sweet to learn that what Maud really wants is somepony who understands her, besides her own family. Also, Starlight's love of kites: simply adorkable =P
Poor Rarity, tho. It's like everything she knew about these gems she's been using is all wrong. Nice going. Dr. Pie.
I liked all Maud episodes except Gift of the Maud Pie (cause there she felt a little flanderized, like, no inflection or undertones to her monotone, just straight up monotone with no intricacies under it).
"Gift of the Maud Pie" do have inflections and undertones, but they are just harder to notice. They are most clear after Pinkie traded her cannon, though. Sure, Rarity talks a bunch while Maud is asking to return the pouch, but in a way that actually detracts from _how_ Maud is saying what she is saying. Also her slight tone changes and body language while she is talking to Rarity and Pinkie before that.
Things i noticed on this episode...
*Disregards everything Pinkie says* "Have you ever seen rocks like this?!" "Yes."
She wears curlers... like they help.
Maude... reminds me a lot of Mai Minakami from Nichijou.
It took me a few seconds before I realized this was luffy's reaction! xD I'm super hyped
Great to see you're back. I heard you were sick so here's hoping you're feeling better! Looking forward to these reactions (writing this before watching).
Never noticed the hat until you mentioned it, LOL
Wonder if they are forming new mane 6. Only 1 earth pony and 2 pegasi required.
Love the Crash Bandicoot music background at the beggining... and the end of the video.
This episode makes me happy in several ways.
This reaction made me happy in one more way to add on to that.
Any reason in particular? Or just in a general sense?
7:55 What if I get that reference after googling it?
18:25 - Clap on! (Clap-clap)
Clap off! (Clap-clap)
Clap on, clap off
The Clapper!
Hope you're okay. I was genuinely concerned that something had happened to you when you disappeared.
Also, side note, Maud is Valedictorian of her class...and the class clown...and the bully...and the head cheerleader...and the quarterback...etc.
Yeah, I'm fine. Was sick last week.
Thanks for the concern :)
Maud as class clown...
I can get behind that.
Not the bully, because that requires someone in the class to bully, but she's indeed both the egghead, the strong one and the fun one .... ^_^
What's most important is that you're better. Thanks for the years of great videos, but sometimes we all need a bit of time off when we aren't feeling our best. This however was a great video, as usual from you!
Glad your back I have recorded my reactions up to episode 7 but won't release until they come out in the us.
I loved this one Maud is me so this was very close to home for me.
I won't give spoilers but there are good one's coming that's all I'll say glad you better man.
Oh :O... Sorry to hear that you've been sick. :( Hope you're feeling better.
And it's awesome that Maud will now be closer to Ponyville! :D
This is currently my favorite episode of the season so far!
16:27 Pinkie bringing Ponies to her Party Cave to make them bond confirmed!
I imagine that when bonbon takes lyra back I think she says "MY WAIFU"
0:08 "Now, I know that I will probably be a bit late in uploading this episode..."
Still not as late I will be to _watch_ this episode.
What they should do with Derpy is come up with 5 names and then poll the fans and make that her real name.
I like how u said that all the gems were rare then maud said they were all common
Now that we have Pinkie and Maud's full names, I wonder if we'll get the rest of the Pie family names soon?
Starlight is so funny, adorable and cute💘💘💖💋❤👄
Glad you're better and back. Looking forward to more awesome and funny videos :)
Best intro placement ever.
I kinda want a episode about Starlight in a kite fly competition now.
I think Maud pie is an Idiot Savant. And please don't misunderstand that phrase. Those people are actually geniuses but the price of that genius comes with some impairments and in the case of Maud, severe social skills deficit and the lack of context(meaning that she interprets everything literally.) Also the way she speaks. The genius part comes from her incredible observation skills and understanding when it comes to her field of expertise, AKA rocks.
I understood Maud's character from the very beginning since i am half way between a normal person and the Idiot Savant that i talked about. It's hard since some ppl think we are just idiots but i learned to either try to reason with or avoid those ppl. I like very few ppl but the ones i like are very smart and good ppl.
That's also what a lot of autistic people go through, which is why it's a popular headcanon that Maud is on the spectrum. I related with Maud so much in this episode. It's like looking at myself back in school.
Same here. But i learned in time that having one or very few friends is worth it if they are the right kind of friends. Loved this episode for going on that 1 but right friend route.
Luffyiscool I'm a lot higher functioning than Maud seems to be, but I kinda think ALL of the Pie sisters may be on the spectrum just based on personal experience. I was a lot like early-seasons Pinkie as a kid, saying whatever popped into my head without necessarily understanding the repercussions. But then I got bullied to the point that I stopped talking entirely and for most of middle and high school I was like Maud to an almost eerie extent.
Maud is the cause of the entirety of the season 5 plot. Güd jeb, Maud.
HURRAY! Glad to see this. Should probably tell you though, that red blinking flash thing is still an issue.
I'm skipping around the video and can't seem to notice much wrong, so at least it's not happening every second. At this point I just ask that you put up with it as best you can :(
The best PART IS THAT MAUD SOLD OUT THAT VILLAGE!
did you realize her name was maudelina daisy pie
12:13 - Because you have unrelenting optimism, that's why.
they need to update the character development of zacora in this season
You mean actually give her some?
Favorite episode of the season so far.
a stone can control entire Equstria? Dont you mean infinity stones?
Heeeeey yaaaaa!
Hey yaaaaa!
Shake it like a "ponefied" picture!
Canada is releasing 2 per week. Currently episodes that are out are through #7
Yall WAY behind now. ;)
I'll be going by the US release, since that suits my pace a bit more.
I'll just hope lady luck smiles on me so I don't get spoiled.
That is going to be rough. Craptons of spoilerly images everywhere. I was going to follow the US schedule myself. But after getting several major spoilers come across my random UA-cam notifications from folks like Dr Wolf posting MAJOR SPOILERS within hours of every release. I gave up.
Going to make for a sadly short season, but it proved too annoying to try to stay spoiler free.
Season 7 is adorable.
it is my staff, show writers cannon that the mane 6 made the multi dimensions of a young girls personality. now with muad trixie and starlight we are getting the multi lyered personality of a tween/teen aged girl.
7:49 HEEEYYYYYAAAAAAHHH HEY YAAAHHHH
HEEEYYYYYAAAAAAHHH HEY YAAAHHHH
Maud helped Starlight enslaved the town damnit!
noooooo the videos unavailable 😭
Are you on a mobile device? That might be it.
yes, thats a thing?
Yeah, due to copyright. Sometimes, instead of country blocks, it simply stops playback on mobile devices.
You can get around it though, just go to the top right menu and select "desktop".
It should switch out of mobile youtube and display normal youtube, and the video should play.
good to know, thank you dude
Maud... Was the reason... We encountered... Starlight... PLEASE DON'T TELL TWILIGHT. lol I wonder how other fans reacted to this... x)
Lyra's face! 9:01
Maud number 1 mare to never play poker with
Why can't say the name of that pony
Of the episodes that have been released in Canada, this is my third favorite...mostly because of Starlight.
Starlight a cute
Did u do a reaction to Mlp Phoenix wright
You mean Turnabout Storm?
That's really old now! I watched that over four years ago lol
Not in a reaction though, since the final episode came out not long after I STARTED reactions XD
11:40 Oh god yes please Mr. white American, please wear that shirt. XD Lol.
Ah I'm ribbing you mate, it would make a funny shirt but I could see it causing issues.
I'd just explain the context if anyone got mad at me lol
and btw, I'm not American XD
I live in Nottinghamshire, England, UK
No comments for the Outkast reference?.. Anyways it seems the memorable episodes from S6 & 7 match up to their counterparts from all other seasons. Which is a big bag of shut up for the neighsayers (incorrect spelling intended) who were insisting mid season 5 that the story had nowhere else to go, due to mane 6 fullfilling long term ambitions and CMC getting their marks. Focusing on other characters without completely benching the originals has been handled well
STARMAUD GLIMMER and STARKITE GLIMMER
Maudlina Daisy Pie
I hate how quick people are to ship characters. For real, what ever happened to platonic relationships?
I could hug you for this comment. :)
JackofAllSpadess They don't exist inside a fandom's mentality. Standing next to each other? Its unspoken love. Friendly rivalry? Sexual tension. Spending time together? A date between lovers.
I could go on and on but I get irritated just thinking about the amount of random times people have shipped characters based on out of context moments and overblowing basic interaction
I fully agree that it can get out of hand.
But on the other hand, why care so much about what other people are doing?
If that's what they wanna do, then it's what they wanna do.
Letting yourself get annoyed over it just seems silly when it doesn't really affect you.
Luffyiscool Its a natural reflex for many people to become annoyed by that which is illogical even as a joke. Screwing around and having fun is generally fine but shipping to many is treated as a true part of the "fandom experience" and therefore many take it seriously whether they're for or against a ship. Its only natural for people to be so against those who are so for what's essentially their crackships that they want to happen with a burning passion. There isn't many who fall into a middle ground for shipping unfortunately. I mean, there are still shipping wars for even the oldest of ships still going on with all the new "love interests"(new character interactions) the show keeps adding.
At this point, people hearing "new ship!" even as a joke is just a reminder to people at how bad it can get at times between the hardcore and casual shippers
Its just a fantasy
Why would someone get mad about Derpy. That sounds so idiotic to me. .I love her. HAIL DERPY Muffin Queen !
I meant the fact that her name was changed to "Muffins" by the show.
So Pinkie couldn't refer to her by either Derpy or Muffins, since people would get upset either way.
Ehh. She'll always be Derpy to me. Our Lovable muffin pony/mailmare :)
this episode was amazing.
MAUD IS BEST!!!!!!
Damn luffy I guess I'll have to get a twitter now
poor Rarity xDD
You missed her name man.
Maudalina Daisy Pie.
?
Also:
4:53: I won't spoil anything, but you'll wish you saved that comment for later.
I love it!
Why does this episode make me want to *ship* Maud x Pinkie?!?!! That slow push onto the bed! In the words of fluttershy "O-oh, my..." also totally agree with shipping Starlight x Trixie!!!
good That you ok
>yfw you're 3 episodes behind
I'm only watching the American release, so I'm actually caught up. (Since episode 5 will be uploaded today)
BTW, I did not mind waiting, your health is more important indeed. ^_^
I am conflicted whether I should watch all the latest episodes from Canada, or just patiently wait for the U.S. ones. Because I've heard of some instances where some episodes before are edited in certain ways.
I am beginning to see the downside of Canada's airing episodes early thing. Pro : we get more pony sooner and I have more time to write my review, Con: A lot of people are on the American viewing and uploading schedule including the artist who does work for my review series and one guy who subs to me. and its not just you , my subs are all over the place. Some are one or two episodes ahead others are on Fluttershy Leans in and others, quite a few, like you are only just now on Rock Solid Friendship.
GAH!!! I CAN'T STAND IT!!!! I JUST CAN'T STAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I made it.
There is a episode with awful as a rate?
Not yet!
Luffyiscool I hope that they keep it up with good episodes
You got spoiled on the whole episode. Nothing feels like you were suprised with
No I didn't.
As I stated at the beginning, the only thing I was spoiled on beforehand was that Starlight would show up at some point. Nothing about the context or what the premise of the episode was.
Literally everything else was blind, and I enjoyed it quite a lot BECAUSE of that.
Your feelings are off on this one. And even if I didn't SEEM surprised, that's still a far call from saying that I knew everything about the episode. Come on now.
derpy simple
Please - make me laugh with this video. I was over on 4everfreebrony's channel just now listening to like probably the worst songs to listen to in the morning - sad songs. PLEASE CHEER ME UP LUFFY I NEED IT
You successfully cheered me up. Good job o3o
Maud Pie is best Kuudere
Spoiler alert!! next episode a Fluttershy Episode dun dun duunn!!!!!
I may not care for Pinkie and loathe glimmer but I gotta give up a like for your use of a Queen song. Also Maud is always wonderful to have in an episode.
Starlight a cute
