dude twilights parents must be the proudest grandparents in equestira. Their daughter became an alicorn, thier son is married to an alicorn and is captain of the royal guard, and their grandchild was born an alicorn. Like jeezus.
There is a difference between "student of Celestia" and "personal student of Celestia". Student of Celestia is member of Celestias School For Gifted Unicorns and that makes all the difference. Twilight was her personal student with her personal accommodations and direct link to the Princess.
"The birth of an alicorn is something equestria has never seen" Princess Celestia "It is beyond even our understanding" -princess Luna Those two lines have destroyed dozens of theorys.
My theory to flurry heart is that when a unicorn or Pegasus is magical ascended to alicorn. When they breed with another pony the DNA of the newly ascended alicorn takeover the genetic makeup of the baby and automatically makes it an alicorn.
Nope, it has been said both in the main series and comics (the canon ones) that Celestia and Luna are NOT from Equestria, they came from a Land far away, so the "birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen" line does not apply to the sisters.
I absolutely adored Spike in this episode. This, this right here is an example of Spike at his best. Helpful, supportive, with a tendency to perhaps get a little sidetracked and a bit of an ego (though no worse than Rainbow Dash). Also, add Sunburst to the list of great male characters in the show. There might not be many, but they often stand out all the more for it.
+DJchilcott Yes, as I mentioned in the commentary, I was very impressed with Spike here, and definitely want to see him keep maturing now. And excellent point on adding to the list of great male characters. That thought hadn't even crossed my mind, but you're right, that is a short list.
+Usagi1992 Oh, nice catch, had to go back and check. I do like how the Mane 6 were mostly in the background this time, but personally I think Fluttershy was way too quiet/invisible in this one. That said, her patting Rainbow Dash on the head was awesome!
Okay, so yes, I'm now aware that Twilight's parents already have names (so why weren't they in the credits?), and also that I likely read too much into the mention of Sunburst being a former student of Celestia's. He was likely just in the school, not a private pupil of Celestia. It caught me off guard because there's typically no mention of students of Celestia in the show beyond Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.
+Applegeek While I don't hate this premiere this isn't one of my favorites. But I'll comment on what I do like: I like how Spike was actually in the premiere and wasn't just excused away. And while he didn't play a major roll it was great seeing him in the episodes. (I'm a Spike fan if you couldn't tell, which may or may not be considered weird since I'm a girl). XD It was also great seeing all of the four Princess's, and seeing Princess Celestia and Luna actually doing something (even if it was a little bit) was pretty awesome. I really enjoyed Sunburst's character and hope that we see him again, I have also warmed up to Starlight Glimmer. Seeing Shining Armor's freak out moments were hilarious. Overall I enjoyed the Starlight Suburst subplot a lot more than Flurry Heart's. And Starlight has warmed up to me faster than Flurry Heart, (note I do like Flurry Heart's, she to me at least looks adorable). hopefully Flurry Heart will warm up to me as time goes on.
Seeing Twilight and Shining Armor's parents finally speak was awesome! I flipped out when I saw that. :)Did you see the black thing flying towards the end of the second episode? People are thinking that it's a Changeling, if so that would be awesome! (Hope Queen Chrysalis comes back!). I love your laugh, it's great. :) Great reaction, can't wait for more. :)
+Book Lover Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it! That is, my reaction at least, if not the episodes. ;) Yeah, Spike did great. It's really a continuation of his role in The Cutie Remark, where he also seemed more mature, offering good insight to Twilight when it was needed, and staying out of the way the rest of the time, not to mention remembering to grab the much-needed spell scroll during each time jump. I think Josh Haber may have finally figured out how to bring some maturity to Spike's character! I'm also interested to see what his interactions with Starlight will be like, because it seems like those two have really hit it off for some reason. I do NOT mean on an shipping level, just in general as friends. Spike was there to witness her entire evil scheme with the time loops, and spent practically the whole time in The Crystalling by her side, trying to help her patch up things with Sunburst. It just now occurred to me that perhaps helping Starlight with her lessons will be the vehicle by which Spike finally gets to grow. I still think Twilight takes Spike for granted far too much, so maybe Starlight will appreciate him more and encourage him in his own path to maturity. That doesn't mean I want or expect a wedge to be driven between Spike and Twilight though, just FYI. Heck, maybe Starlight can even help Twilight learn to respect Spike a bit more. Flurry Heart definitely needs time to grow on some people, for sure, as she's a brand new character, a controversial one at that, not to mention a newborn. I thought her role in these episodes was written quite well though, and I look forward to seeing her more. I hope the show runs long enough for us to see her actually grow up a bit, not just be a foal forever. FWIW, so far we have seen that Pound and Pumpkin cake appear to have already graduated from diapers since the time they were born, so maybe we will get some actual physical growth after all. But yeah, Flurry Heart was intended to be more of a plot device at this point. The real focus of the story was on Starlight and Sunburst. I failed to specifically comment on it, but I noticed that most of the Mane 6 were majorly backgrounded in these episodes. Aside from Twilight, it seemed like Pinkie was the most active, what with Flurry Heart going nuts over her, and it felt like Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy barely had any screen time. Fluttershy barely even spoke in this one, and I don't think she was even on-screen during the whole train ride to the Crystal Empire. Anyway, I rather like the fact that they got pushed to the background in this, because it wasn't really about them. The primary focus needed to be on Starlight, to allow us to see if she is truly committed and on the path to redemption or not, which she clearly is now. As I mentioned, that scene in which she unloaded her past misdeeds on Sunburst was phenomenal! She swallowed a huge chunk of pride by admitting what had happened, and also revealed some inner fear she's been struggling with ever since Twilight took her on as a pupil. I personally didn't think Starlight would be in danger of going back to her old ways, at least not right away in the premiere, but the fear I did have is that they would try to make her too much like a carbon copy of Sunset Shimmer. I admit there are still similarities, but I felt that Josh Haber did an excellent job of subtly differentiating the two characters. Don't get me wrong, I still want to see Sunset come home, but for now I'm content to see what Starlight's going to be up to this season. Changeling, yes, missed that until after I got done with this, but that is awesome! Fully expecting Chrysalis to return now, perhaps as the villain in the season finale.
Applegeek I agree i think that Spike was great in here and would love to see Josh Haber write a Spike episode since he seems to know how to write him. And I would also like to see more of Starlight and Spike hanging out and helping each other. Because like you said they seem to have really hit it off (in a non romantic sense like you said).
While I don't hate Flurry Heart (I think hating a baby character, especially a baby character in a cartoon aimed at children is silly) I think I need to see more of her to become better invested in her character. And I'm sure that the writers will make her grow, they've broken status quo before and like you said the baby cake twins seem not to need diapers, so in due time I'm sure that we'll see her grow. That was one of the things that I forgot to mention that I liked, seeing the mane six minus Twilight and Pinkie Pie in the background, because like you said it was more about Starlight and getting people to accept/like her then having it be about the others. And I think that they did a good job with it. I was also afraid that they would turn Starlight into a carbon copy Sunset, I'm happy that they didn't, while there are similiarities there's enough differences not to worry too much. I'm sure that it'll be like how it was with Sunset at first. People hated her in the first movie but then fell in love with her in the second movie. I'm sure once we get more episodes focused on Starlight people who still don't like her will end up accepting her or liking her. (I personally like her now). It's true, they didn't defeat Queen Chrysalis, they just blasted her off, she's not dead or in prison. It would be great if she was back, she's one of my favorite villains from the show. XD Can't wait for more, until next time cheers! XD
+Book Lover Oh, just FYI, Josh Haber was both writer and story editor for this premiere, and has confirmed he's also the story editor for the entire season, so take that for whatever you think it's worth. I'm hoping that means good continuity and consistency across the entire season.
Applegeek I knew that Josh Haber had been the writer and story editor for the season 6 premiere but I didn't know that he was going to be the story editor for the entire season, that's pretty cool. He seems to have a pretty good understanding of the characters and everything. MLP FIM seems to be a little different from other cartoon shows that I have seen (and I've seen a lot of cartoons despite only being in my early twenties) not only do they break the status quo (repeatedly) but also do a good job with the redeeming a character cliché and having continuity/consistency. So I have no real worries there. I have two real hopes for this season, the CMC get called by the map (maybe with just one of the mane six/seven? and having a good Spike episode. (And maybe having a Celestia episode, but with that I won't hold my breath on that). From just the premiere it's definitely shaping up to be a interesting season. (Even if it's for me not one of my favorite season premiere's, it was at least interesting). :)
Regarding the whole "Student of Celestia" thing, remember that the school is called "Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns". She probably has hundreds of students at any one time. And she seems to be the kind of pony to take personal pride in all her students, even the ones she might not personally meet.
+DJchilcott Man, you're the third or fourth one to comment on that, so I can tell this is gonna be my roasting point for this one. Yes, I probably read too much into that. There just hasn't been much mention in the show of students of Celestia aside from Twilight and Sunset, so it caught me off guard.
Yep. He got his cutie marks when he grabbed the large amount of magic books that were about to fall on Starlight, and filed them all back on the bookshelves. He's a great study of magic, not so much a great user of it.
I'm only a few episodes into the season, but I'm working a theory that Sunburst actually does possess a great deal of power. I feel like his name may indicate that he'll have a sort of explosive exhibition of magical power that could put him on the path of being the next Starswirl the Bearded.
Oh my gosh. Somnambula, Rockhoof and Mistmane were all mentioned in this episode. Meadowbrook was mentioned back in the season 5 premiere and of course starswirl was mentioned in season 2... Flash Magnus is the only one first mentioned in Campfire Tales.
Yeah, I still remember that moment. It was not an act. I was literally shocked and stunned when it shattered, basically because I knew how important the heart was, and at that moment I had no idea how you would ever fix something like that. Definitely one of my more...interesting moments doing blind reactions. XD
I personally consider this to be the best premiere yet. It might not be as intense as the ones for seasons 1 and 2, or as dark as "The Cutie Map", but at the same time: 1. It's one of the more well put together ones. 2. It's probably the funniest of the 6. 3. Starlight. 4. Flurry Heart is just SO CUTE.
+funcoolfunfun Yes, lots of character building, lots of world building, plenty of comedy, and somehow is just epic even without a villain, which has never happened before! Yes, there was the S4 premiere, but that was technically villainous activity from Discord's past. Major props to Josh Haber on this one!
Applegeek Yup. Although, is it strange to say that the most unexpected thing from the episode was that Twilight's parents actually spoke at the end of it?
+funcoolfunfun Wait until you see my reaction to that. Did NOT see that coming! Several items from my wish list are already on the verge of happening! Spike shows hints of maturity, Celestia actually showed up and did something useful, and Twilight's parents talked, though we still need proper names and some background. I also love the hint for Starlight possibly pairing up with the CMC at some point.
Applegeek I also really hope that we have an episode that puts Starlight with the CMC. As for Twilight's parents, their names have already been given in supplementary materials to the show: Night Light is the father and Twilight Velvet is the mother. Speaking of which, that actually brings up something similar that happened in season 2: Chrysalis' name was not spoken throughout the entirety of A Canterlot Wedding.
+funcoolfunfun Okay, didn't know that about the parents' names, odd that they didn't use them in the credits on this episode then. Also didn't realize that about Chrysalis. Interestingly, somebody else also pointed out to me recently that Aria was never actually verbally named in Rainbow Rocks. Hasbro really needs to work on their character introductions! XD
4:58 After how many times I've watched this episode, I just realized NOW that the figures in the vase pictures are Shining Armor, Cadence, Flurry Heart, and the Mane 6..... Also, I JUST noticed something flying towards the Crystal empire at the end of the episode. Could that have been Thorax?
I just realized Starlight and Sunburst's ship names are both actual words, Sunlight and Starburst (Starburst is a type of candy) Edit: A lot of ppl picked Starburst, Starbust it is!
Can we also talk about the fact that in the movie Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow, there is also a character named Sunburst, which is one of the fairies, and the actress who does the voice of Starlight Glimmer (Kelly Sheridan) is the same actress that does the voice of Barbie in the movie films, What a Coincidence!!!!. As well as that there's a doll called Starlight Fairy Barbie so all the pieces come together.
I love how realistic Starlight and Sunburst's reunion is. Often times both sides do have something to hide and both would rather do anything else than talk about it because they're afraid of what the other will think.
Technically Luna does do something every night she controls dreams of everyone in the kingdom and raises the moon, Celestia raises the sun and is the main ruler of the kingdom
And they probably deal with a lot of problems off screen, too. Celestia references that a few times. (I think the first was when she mentioned having to deal with an infestation in the parasprite episode.)
Rewatching your reactions are such a theraputic thing for me for some reason, 2020 has been tough and your reactions make it easy to pass through even tho i finished the series, and even if i watched all your reactions, it's very nice to rewatch them from time to time, thank you for these videos, i know people say they're silly but even if they are they make my day so i guess it's not so bad to be silly. Thank you, sincerely, a fan.
I think sunburst and sunset shimmer are siblings because starlight said it wasn't a surprise that he went off to princess celestial school like sunset did.o.o
+Applegeek Loved your reaction, man, and really liked this premiere. Starlight, Flurry Heart, and Sunburst are so likeable, and I _love_ how mature and smart Spike was being. Anything else I could say about this premiere, I've already said in my own commentary. XD
Narrator: In the last episode of My Little Pony… Starlight Glimmer was really excited, but also nervous that she was going to be Princess Twilight’s new pupil. Starlight Glimmer: I still can't believe you're letting me stay here... as your pupil. Narrator: Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle received a letter from her brother, Shining Armor. The letter said that Shining Armor is a father and Twilight is an aunt to a new baby pony. So Starlight’s first friendship lesson was going to be reuniting with her old friend, Sunburst. Twilight Sparkle: Your first friendship lesson is going to be... reuniting with Sunburst! Narrator: When they arrived at the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle was shocked when she discovered that the baby pony is an Alicorn, a pony with both a horn and wings. Twilight Sparkle: The baby is an Alicorn?! Pinkie Pie: So she could be a super-strong flyer AND have crazy baby magic! Narrator: Things were getting a little rough in babysitting the new baby. But later on, Twilight finally managed to calm her down, so that Princess Cadance could get her baby to safety. But just as things were just fine, the baby pony suddenly let out a booming wail. The wail was so loud that it shattered the Crystal Heart into a bunch of crackly pieces… (Flurry Heart wailing) (Crystal Heart shattering) (everyone gasping) Narrator: …making it much harder to do the Crystalling. But it’s far worse than that. Without the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Empire is going to be buried under an entire mountain of ice and snow. And now Part 2 of “The Crystalling”.
that Spike and the mirror thing is a call back to Party for One when Pinkie was depressed and Pinkie was interrogating Spike and Spike said "Looking good Spike, Looking real good" at 6:23
14:49 Twilight: And I can help keep tabs on her magic. Me: Ok, I know that Princess Twilight Sparkle is the element of magic but seriously though, does anyone else think that she should be the element of intelligence?
I might be really late to the party on this one, but I just noticed that the ponies etched on the vase in the beginning were the mane 6 plus Shining Armor and Cadence in a stylized crystal pony form.
9:41 - "Okay, Fluttershy, what have you got?" Fluttershy will probably wait till the baby is a little older and then give her her first pet. 11:20 - I don't get why Cadence and Shining Armor are doing the Exhausted New Parents thing? They're royalty! Don't they have nannies? 14:04 - Very well timed, AG! (But I don't think it was RedBull that gave FlurryHeart her wings!) 18:20 - Why do I keep feeling the urge to tug on Sunburst's beard?
He was spoiled on the fact that Flurry was an alicorn, so he pulled out the red bull to "Make the most out of the moment" He explains it somewhere in this comment section.
14:03 Dumbo reference! 38:08 SERIOUSLY DUDE?! THAT'S THE ONLY THING YOU CARE?! Your childhood friend have just confessed she had had a struggling time without you!
Maybe they didn't think of a spell to restore that book or perhaps one would need to know the exact contents of the book. I am glad Celestia and Luna were more useful here but I would love to see Nightmare Moon come back i mean I know we saw more of that form of Luna is season 5 finale but i still want more
as far as the Sombra mention. I'd assume the weather control feature is a built in part of the crystal heart which is why sombra hid it away instead of simply destroying it as whats the point of ruling when you're for all intents and purposes dead
Heh, yeah, I know. XD That was one of those moments where I got really wrapped up in the story, and when I saw the heart breaking, I knew just how screwed they were without it, and my brain pretty much just broke along with the heart. Of course they end up being able to magically repair it, which seems like a bit of a deus ex machina, but I'm not gonna complain about that, because the writers ultimately used this to break away from the cliche of having yet another villain threatening to conquer or destroy Equestria. It was a unique story, and I loved it. :D
There probably was a spell for restoring the book, but given that they simply didn't have the time to look it up, and or didn't think of trying to find it/use it...
+Minnion Oh yeah, I know the sequence of events can be explained away numerous different ways. My personal favorite is that the book that got destroyed was an entire book of restoration spells, including the one to restore damaged books, so that spell was lost too. XD It was just a weak logic point to have a bit of fun poking at. :D
Applegeek If there was a "Book restoration spell" that Twilight knew of you could bet your best horseshoe that twilight would go out of her way to learn it... (Because lets face it, one of the first things she would be doing with such a spell would probably be salvaging as much of her old libraries stock as she can after Tirek blew it up... Not to mention it would be useful to have around given Spikes tendency to accidentally burn things from time to time...)
@@icysweetnexi What exactly do you mean by that? I know she didn't behave the best in "Flurry Of Emotions," but she's not even old enough to talk. She may be powerful, but she's still a baby.
+kemi J That's still the subject of much debate, because what many think was implied by this dialogue seems to go against the journal of the two sisters, which is already considered canon. There are many theories running wild right now, so hopefully we'll get some clarification on the princesses' background soon.
I actually read from TV Tropes that when Celestia said about Flurry Heart being the first alicorn born in Equestria, she did not mean the first EVER alicorn born. Rather, Celestia and Luna lived before Equestria was founded, and they were born alicorns, as the Journal of the Two Sisters said. Simply put, Flurry Heart is the first born alicorn since Equestria was founded, but not the very first one.
@@sirclassicalhou3650 I think that's the most likely conclusion. I think that Celestia and Luna are not Equestrian ponies, so they're a different species with different genetics. They were born alicorns, but since Equestrian ponies have never been born alicorns before Flurry Heart was born one, it comes as a huge shock to them.
When Celestia said “an old student of mine”, she meant he learned at her school of magic, not that he was her protege or star student at some point like twilight.
The reason why celestial and Luna are confused is because flurry hearts parents aren't both alicorns, but celestias and Luna's parents were both alicorns
I think Cadence is an Empress as she rules an empire though she still goes by princess, much like Celestia is clearly the queen but still goes by princess.
+SunBeam Forest Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure there are a lot that can't make it for one reason or another. I myself am about to spend a rather absurd amount of money to attend two cons this year, MWBF and MLP-MSP, probably a lot more than I really should, but I feel like it's a chance I might never have again. For you, if you can't afford it this year, and really want to go, my suggestion would be to start saving money now for a convention trip next year. Conventions aside though, there are many localized groups that do regular meetups, and plenty of online forums and such to chat in. The Brony fandom was essentially born out of the internet, and I would say the internet is still the best place to interact with the fandom as a whole.
ya well i dont exactly have a job, havent graduated and my childhood kinda left me fucked up :/ n not exactly always money to save up except birthdays n xmas :/ possibly other holidays if im lucky
+SunBeam Forest Again, sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck in your studies and search for a job. Just remember that regardless of your circumstances, you are special, you are awesome, and you have value as a person. Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise. ;)
Celestia is the princess of the sun, Luna the moon, Cadence of love, Twilight Sparkle of friendship, & and Flurry Heart of DESTROYING PRICELESS THINGS, WHATS NEXT THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!?
4:44 disney's "hercules" movie,art... 7:13 disney's "sleeping beauty" or "sword in the stone" movie,magic... 7:31 two ponies in "sailor moon"... 14:01 disney's "dumbo" movie...
The reason why she was born an alicorn is depending on the definition of each princess. Celestia and Luna represent a love for one's sibling, Twilight represents the love for one's friends, cadence represents love for one's partner and the baby represents love for one's caretaker which is an instinct which is why she was born an alicorn.
It suprising if I can laughing at the video again even those I watch it a few years a go before, knowing most of what happening (but I easily forget words) because rewatching a funny video ever few years and it still you have a "I completely forgot about that" or " That still get me laugh despite know the joke) is a successful challenge.😅
Sonic sciences will prove that Flurry Heart's cry matched the resonating factor of the Crystal Hearts isodynamic resonation factor, thus providing physio-vibrational destabilization, resulting in multi-progressive microfracture of the crystal's initial design parameters! (that how a high voice will shatter glass and other semi-rigid brittle materials)
Those of you who are wondering, the reason why celestia said "the birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen" is because when lulu and tia were born, equestria was not founded yet, so they still are natural born alicorns, just they weren't born in equestria, cuz it wasn't a thing yet
He unfortunately got spoiled that she was an alicorn before watching the episode, so he said somewhere in this section that he decided to make the best out of it. Which was of course, pulling out the redbull to make a reference. ( Redbull gives you wings)
+Vexatron Primal I'm honestly not sure if you meant that as a joke or not. I would definitely disagree with you on that though. You know, that triggered a thought for me though. I've heard others say that Starlight was the best villain, and I actually tend to agree. BUT, I also don't think she really deserves a super harsh punishment. It was clear in the The Cutie Remark that Starlight didn't realize how big of an impact the Mane 6 have had on Equestria. If she had, I think she probably wouldn't have risked the messing up the timeline like she did. Her ultimate goal was never world conquest, not the way I see it anyway. Originally, she was just, in her own twisted way, trying to make sure that nopony would ever suffer the same pain she had when Starburst left her, and after getting beaten, her focus turned to revenge on Twilight and friends. Given that the original timeline got restored, and she became genuinely sorry for everything she had done, I'm not sure I would have had the guts to hand down any kind of serious punishment, such as banishment to the moon. I'm much happier seeing Twilight helping her learn how to make friends.

There is a difference between "student of Celestia" and "personal student of Celestia".
Student of Celestia is member of Celestias School For Gifted Unicorns and that makes all the difference. Twilight was her personal student with her personal accommodations and direct link to the Princess.
"The birth of an alicorn is something equestria has never seen"
Princess Celestia
"It is beyond even our understanding"
-princess Luna
Those two lines have destroyed dozens of theorys.
the power of that lines hold
Yeah. But this opens so many theories at the same time.
My theory to flurry heart is that when a unicorn or Pegasus is magical ascended to alicorn. When they breed with another pony the DNA of
the newly ascended alicorn takeover the genetic makeup of the baby and automatically makes it an alicorn.
Nope, it has been said both in the main series and comics (the canon ones) that Celestia and Luna are NOT from Equestria, they came from a Land far away, so the "birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen" line does not apply to the sisters.

Okay, so yes, I'm now aware that Twilight's parents already have names (so why weren't they in the credits?), and also that I likely read too much into the mention of Sunburst being a former student of Celestia's. He was likely just in the school, not a private pupil of Celestia. It caught me off guard because there's typically no mention of students of Celestia in the show beyond Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer.
+Applegeek While I don't hate this premiere this isn't one of my favorites. But I'll comment on what I do like: I like how Spike was actually in the premiere and wasn't just excused away. And while he didn't play a major roll it was great seeing him in the episodes. (I'm a Spike fan if you couldn't tell, which may or may not be considered weird since I'm a girl). XD
It was also great seeing all of the four Princess's, and seeing Princess Celestia and Luna actually doing something (even if it was a little bit) was pretty awesome.
I really enjoyed Sunburst's character and hope that we see him again, I have also warmed up to Starlight Glimmer. Seeing Shining Armor's freak out moments were hilarious.
Overall I enjoyed the Starlight Suburst subplot a lot more than Flurry Heart's. And Starlight has warmed up to me faster than Flurry Heart, (note I do like Flurry Heart's, she to me at least looks adorable). hopefully Flurry Heart will warm up to me as time goes on.
Seeing Twilight and Shining Armor's parents finally speak was awesome! I flipped out when I saw that. :)Did you see the black thing flying towards the end of the second episode? People are thinking that it's a Changeling, if so that would be awesome! (Hope Queen Chrysalis comes back!).
I love your laugh, it's great. :) Great reaction, can't wait for more. :)
+Book Lover Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it! That is, my reaction at least, if not the episodes. ;)
Yeah, Spike did great. It's really a continuation of his role in The Cutie Remark, where he also seemed more mature, offering good insight to Twilight when it was needed, and staying out of the way the rest of the time, not to mention remembering to grab the much-needed spell scroll during each time jump. I think Josh Haber may have finally figured out how to bring some maturity to Spike's character! I'm also interested to see what his interactions with Starlight will be like, because it seems like those two have really hit it off for some reason. I do NOT mean on an shipping level, just in general as friends. Spike was there to witness her entire evil scheme with the time loops, and spent practically the whole time in The Crystalling by her side, trying to help her patch up things with Sunburst. It just now occurred to me that perhaps helping Starlight with her lessons will be the vehicle by which Spike finally gets to grow. I still think Twilight takes Spike for granted far too much, so maybe Starlight will appreciate him more and encourage him in his own path to maturity. That doesn't mean I want or expect a wedge to be driven between Spike and Twilight though, just FYI. Heck, maybe Starlight can even help Twilight learn to respect Spike a bit more.
Flurry Heart definitely needs time to grow on some people, for sure, as she's a brand new character, a controversial one at that, not to mention a newborn. I thought her role in these episodes was written quite well though, and I look forward to seeing her more. I hope the show runs long enough for us to see her actually grow up a bit, not just be a foal forever. FWIW, so far we have seen that Pound and Pumpkin cake appear to have already graduated from diapers since the time they were born, so maybe we will get some actual physical growth after all.
But yeah, Flurry Heart was intended to be more of a plot device at this point. The real focus of the story was on Starlight and Sunburst. I failed to specifically comment on it, but I noticed that most of the Mane 6 were majorly backgrounded in these episodes. Aside from Twilight, it seemed like Pinkie was the most active, what with Flurry Heart going nuts over her, and it felt like Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Fluttershy barely had any screen time. Fluttershy barely even spoke in this one, and I don't think she was even on-screen during the whole train ride to the Crystal Empire.
Anyway, I rather like the fact that they got pushed to the background in this, because it wasn't really about them. The primary focus needed to be on Starlight, to allow us to see if she is truly committed and on the path to redemption or not, which she clearly is now. As I mentioned, that scene in which she unloaded her past misdeeds on Sunburst was phenomenal! She swallowed a huge chunk of pride by admitting what had happened, and also revealed some inner fear she's been struggling with ever since Twilight took her on as a pupil. I personally didn't think Starlight would be in danger of going back to her old ways, at least not right away in the premiere, but the fear I did have is that they would try to make her too much like a carbon copy of Sunset Shimmer. I admit there are still similarities, but I felt that Josh Haber did an excellent job of subtly differentiating the two characters. Don't get me wrong, I still want to see Sunset come home, but for now I'm content to see what Starlight's going to be up to this season.
Changeling, yes, missed that until after I got done with this, but that is awesome! Fully expecting Chrysalis to return now, perhaps as the villain in the season finale.
Applegeek
I agree i think that Spike was great in here and would love to see Josh Haber write a Spike episode since he seems to know how to write him. And I would also like to see more of Starlight and Spike hanging out and helping each other. Because like you said they seem to have really hit it off (in a non romantic sense like you said).
While I don't hate Flurry Heart (I think hating a baby character, especially a baby character in a cartoon aimed at children is silly) I think I need to see more of her to become better invested in her character. And I'm sure that the writers will make her grow, they've broken status quo before and like you said the baby cake twins seem not to need diapers, so in due time I'm sure that we'll see her grow.
That was one of the things that I forgot to mention that I liked, seeing the mane six minus Twilight and Pinkie Pie in the background, because like you said it was more about Starlight and getting people to accept/like her then having it be about the others. And I think that they did a good job with it.
I was also afraid that they would turn Starlight into a carbon copy Sunset, I'm happy that they didn't, while there are similiarities there's enough differences not to worry too much.
I'm sure that it'll be like how it was with Sunset at first. People hated her in the first movie but then fell in love with her in the second movie. I'm sure once we get more episodes focused on Starlight people who still don't like her will end up accepting her or liking her. (I personally like her now).
It's true, they didn't defeat Queen Chrysalis, they just blasted her off, she's not dead or in prison. It would be great if she was back, she's one of my favorite villains from the show. XD
Can't wait for more, until next time cheers! XD
+Book Lover Oh, just FYI, Josh Haber was both writer and story editor for this premiere, and has confirmed he's also the story editor for the entire season, so take that for whatever you think it's worth. I'm hoping that means good continuity and consistency across the entire season.
Applegeek I knew that Josh Haber had been the writer and story editor for the season 6 premiere but I didn't know that he was going to be the story editor for the entire season, that's pretty cool. He seems to have a pretty good understanding of the characters and everything. MLP FIM seems to be a little different from other cartoon shows that I have seen (and I've seen a lot of cartoons despite only being in my early twenties) not only do they break the status quo (repeatedly) but also do a good job with the redeeming a character cliché and having continuity/consistency. So I have no real worries there. I have two real hopes for this season, the CMC get called by the map (maybe with just one of the mane six/seven? and having a good Spike episode. (And maybe having a Celestia episode, but with that I won't hold my breath on that). From just the premiere it's definitely shaping up to be a interesting season. (Even if it's for me not one of my favorite season premiere's, it was at least interesting). :)
14:04 red-bull gives you wings
*I'm currently DED right now*
XD
+Riverwind _xd Hehe, I've been planning that since I saw that leaked clip. I hoped somebody would find it funny! :D
Regarding the whole "Student of Celestia" thing, remember that the school is called "Princess Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns". She probably has hundreds of students at any one time. And she seems to be the kind of pony to take personal pride in all her students, even the ones she might not personally meet.
+DJchilcott Man, you're the third or fourth one to comment on that, so I can tell this is gonna be my roasting point for this one. Yes, I probably read too much into that. There just hasn't been much mention in the show of students of Celestia aside from Twilight and Sunset, so it caught me off guard.
OK, so Sunburst talent isn't with magical power or casting spells, its with magical mechanics and theory
Yep. He got his cutie marks when he grabbed the large amount of magic books that were about to fall on Starlight, and filed them all back on the bookshelves. He's a great study of magic, not so much a great user of it.
I'm only a few episodes into the season, but I'm working a theory that Sunburst actually does possess a great deal of power. I feel like his name may indicate that he'll have a sort of explosive exhibition of magical power that could put him on the path of being the next Starswirl the Bearded.
I still don't know how the cutie mark is in magic, even just knowledge of magic. I mean, it's literally just his name sun burst.
That's why I say he is a scholar and not a wizard
True, although he does get stronger as time goes on
Oh my gosh. Somnambula, Rockhoof and Mistmane were all mentioned in this episode. Meadowbrook was mentioned back in the season 5 premiere and of course starswirl was mentioned in season 2... Flash Magnus is the only one first mentioned in Campfire Tales.
his reaction to the crystal heart shattering was priceless, best reaction ever.
Yeah, I still remember that moment. It was not an act. I was literally shocked and stunned when it shattered, basically because I knew how important the heart was, and at that moment I had no idea how you would ever fix something like that. Definitely one of my more...interesting moments doing blind reactions. XD
I personally consider this to be the best premiere yet.
It might not be as intense as the ones for seasons 1 and 2, or as dark as "The Cutie Map", but at the same time:
1. It's one of the more well put together ones.
2. It's probably the funniest of the 6.
3. Starlight.
4. Flurry Heart is just SO CUTE.
+funcoolfunfun Yes, lots of character building, lots of world building, plenty of comedy, and somehow is just epic even without a villain, which has never happened before! Yes, there was the S4 premiere, but that was technically villainous activity from Discord's past. Major props to Josh Haber on this one!
Applegeek Yup.
Although, is it strange to say that the most unexpected thing from the episode was that Twilight's parents actually spoke at the end of it?
+funcoolfunfun Wait until you see my reaction to that. Did NOT see that coming! Several items from my wish list are already on the verge of happening! Spike shows hints of maturity, Celestia actually showed up and did something useful, and Twilight's parents talked, though we still need proper names and some background. I also love the hint for Starlight possibly pairing up with the CMC at some point.
Applegeek I also really hope that we have an episode that puts Starlight with the CMC.
As for Twilight's parents, their names have already been given in supplementary materials to the show: Night Light is the father and Twilight Velvet is the mother.
Speaking of which, that actually brings up something similar that happened in season 2: Chrysalis' name was not spoken throughout the entirety of A Canterlot Wedding.
+funcoolfunfun Okay, didn't know that about the parents' names, odd that they didn't use them in the credits on this episode then. Also didn't realize that about Chrysalis. Interestingly, somebody else also pointed out to me recently that Aria was never actually verbally named in Rainbow Rocks. Hasbro really needs to work on their character introductions! XD
apple geek: (Opens red bull)
baby alicorn: (grows wings)
me: (pees pants laughing)
+carlotta volturi I take no responsibility for your laundry bill. XD
+Applegeek lol! I'm dying over here!
carlotta volturi Oh my god! I completely missed that reference.
Roro positif the slogan for red bull is "Red bull gives you wings" soooo....that's the reference
Red bull baby alicorn grows ohhhh I get it I get it
Flurry Heart : **sneezes**
Applegeek : That's the funniest shit I've ever seen XD
Did you see Thorax flying at 46:07 when the train left if you look to the left of the Crystal empire you can see him
well someone has a sharp eye😃
How tf do you know thats Thorax?
@@byicy4664 ,l mean he was already in the crystal empire in his first appearance, he probably was hiding there for a while
@@byicy4664 it’s the only changeling that’s been to the crystal empire
@@byicy4664 anyway the show itself says that was foreshadowing
4:58 After how many times I've watched this episode, I just realized NOW that the figures in the vase pictures are Shining Armor, Cadence, Flurry Heart, and the Mane 6.....
Also, I JUST noticed something flying towards the Crystal empire at the end of the episode. Could that have been Thorax?
Spike: "it's almost like your whole life depends on this moment"
Me: "ya know no pressure and all that"
I just realized Starlight and Sunburst's ship names are both actual words, Sunlight and Starburst (Starburst is a type of candy)
Edit: A lot of ppl picked Starburst, Starbust it is!
Sunlight it's Sunset and Starlight.
Can we also talk about the fact that in the movie Barbie Fairytopia: Magic of the Rainbow, there is also a character named Sunburst, which is one of the fairies, and the actress who does the voice of Starlight Glimmer (Kelly Sheridan) is the same actress that does the voice of Barbie in the movie films, What a Coincidence!!!!. As well as that there's a doll called Starlight Fairy Barbie so all the pieces come together.
If you Ship Twilight and Starlight, you get: Starlight and Twilight!
@@scootaloofromponyville1708 I guess…TwiGlimmer or StarSparkle?
I love how realistic Starlight and Sunburst's reunion is. Often times both sides do have something to hide and both would rather do anything else than talk about it because they're afraid of what the other will think.
30:56
that pony's Name could be pin point! that would be perfect!
feather bloom Wow! Nice idea
I was thinking Pin Drop, but I think your idea is better. :)
Technically Luna does do something every night she controls dreams of everyone in the kingdom and raises the moon, Celestia raises the sun and is the main ruler of the kingdom
And they probably deal with a lot of problems off screen, too. Celestia references that a few times. (I think the first was when she mentioned having to deal with an infestation in the parasprite episode.)
Applegeek: *opens red bull*
Flurry heart: *reavels wings*
Me: *literally about to have a heart attack from laughing so hard*
"This is like Pound and Pumpink Cake on steroids" Killed me!
22:19 when you and your friends laugh in class but the theacher suddenly begins an exam
That reaction from laughing at Flurry crying to the horrified look of the heart shattering- perfect
22:17 Well fandom i have you are happy! Twilight and cadence now have flowing manes! : )
5:47 oh no... looks like starlight is having some Vietnam flashbacks
Gotta love that foreshadowing of mentioning Mistmane, Rickhoof, Flash, and somnambula.
Rewatching your reactions are such a theraputic thing for me for some reason, 2020 has been tough and your reactions make it easy to pass through even tho i finished the series, and even if i watched all your reactions, it's very nice to rewatch them from time to time, thank you for these videos, i know people say they're silly but even if they are they make my day so i guess it's not so bad to be silly. Thank you, sincerely, a fan.
31:04 Applegeek's wheezing laugh made me cry in tears. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think sunburst and sunset shimmer are siblings because starlight said it wasn't a surprise that he went off to princess celestial school like sunset did.o.o
Amazing theory.
LOL! I said I wondered what happened to the list Spike sent away with his fire. I guess now we know: edowaado.deviantart.com/art/The-List-599889696
xDD Oml
+Applegeek Loved your reaction, man, and really liked this premiere. Starlight, Flurry Heart, and Sunburst are so likeable, and I _love_ how mature and smart Spike was being. Anything else I could say about this premiere, I've already said in my own commentary. XD
+TPrower Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
You were so funny!! you were like this 😁 to this 😐
XD So True
7:10
Sunburst know it all and Starlight can do it all. They are a great team👏
i just noticed Starlight is the only one of the main cast that hasn’t abused Spike. Starlight FTW!!
Because Starlight. Pinkie and Rarity are the best.
@@icysweetnexiexactly!!
Now we get on with the shipping!!!
Starburst shippers where ya at? XD
enslaving ponies, Sunburst: okay, traveling through time, Sunburst: Wow amazing
Narrator: In the last episode of My Little Pony…
Starlight Glimmer was really excited, but also nervous that she was going to be Princess Twilight’s new pupil.
Starlight Glimmer: I still can't believe you're letting me stay here... as your pupil.
Narrator: Meanwhile, Twilight Sparkle received a letter from her brother, Shining Armor. The letter said that Shining Armor is a father and Twilight is an aunt to a new baby pony. So Starlight’s first friendship lesson was going to be reuniting with her old friend, Sunburst.
Twilight Sparkle: Your first friendship lesson is going to be... reuniting with Sunburst!
Narrator: When they arrived at the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle was shocked when she discovered that the baby pony is an Alicorn, a pony with both a horn and wings.
Twilight Sparkle: The baby is an Alicorn?!
Pinkie Pie: So she could be a super-strong flyer AND have crazy baby magic!
Narrator: Things were getting a little rough in babysitting the new baby. But later on, Twilight finally managed to calm her down, so that Princess Cadance could get her baby to safety. But just as things were just fine, the baby pony suddenly let out a booming wail. The wail was so loud that it shattered the Crystal Heart into a bunch of crackly pieces…
(Flurry Heart wailing)
(Crystal Heart shattering)
(everyone gasping)
Narrator: …making it much harder to do the Crystalling. But it’s far worse than that. Without the Crystal Heart, the Crystal Empire is going to be buried under an entire mountain of ice and snow.
And now Part 2 of “The Crystalling”.
2:58 Discord is in the window of Fluttershy's cottage.
46:09 ...... Ok ...... just did I notice the changeling flying to the capital? was was Thoraxs !?
that Spike and the mirror thing is a call back to Party for One when Pinkie was depressed and Pinkie was interrogating Spike and Spike said "Looking good Spike, Looking real good" at 6:23
The frozen north = the everfree forest
The crystal heart = tree of harmony
(Keeps winter wasteland at bay=keeps overgrowth from happening)
14:49
Twilight: And I can help keep tabs on her magic.
Me: Ok, I know that Princess Twilight Sparkle is the element of magic but seriously though, does anyone else think that she should be the element of intelligence?
no, she's the element of merchandising!
wait, no that's the evil demon baby McFlurry
1:00:30 The things that Celestia solves don't get to become an episode, that's why.
I might be really late to the party on this one, but I just noticed that the ponies etched on the vase in the beginning were the mane 6 plus Shining Armor and Cadence in a stylized crystal pony form.
22:16 How this happy laught will turn into a pure Horror Look... I Love that (I'm not very good at writing English. I'm German. Bye)
At the very end of part 2 before the screen goes black you can see thorax flying to the crystal empire. I love that detail!
9:41 - "Okay, Fluttershy, what have you got?" Fluttershy will probably wait till the baby is a little older and then give her her first pet.
11:20 - I don't get why Cadence and Shining Armor are doing the Exhausted New Parents thing? They're royalty! Don't they have nannies?
14:04 - Very well timed, AG! (But I don't think it was RedBull that gave FlurryHeart her wings!)
18:20 - Why do I keep feeling the urge to tug on Sunburst's beard?
He was spoiled on the fact that Flurry was an alicorn, so he pulled out the red bull to "Make the most out of the moment" He explains it somewhere in this comment section.
@@Brayden-Wyattisn’t it obvious though? Of course he’s doing it for the good moment and the sake of it.
@@starrymochii0 Juat in case Alice wasnt aware
14:54 - You're Welcome.
Man! They should've saw that Flurry was about to cry and let Pinkie play with her a little bit more.
22:13 Baby's First Royal Canterlot Voice. They should have taken a picture bahahaha
For those who aren't aware, Cadance was confirmed to have been born a Pegasus, and later became an alicorn
14:03 Dumbo reference!
38:08 SERIOUSLY DUDE?! THAT'S THE ONLY THING YOU CARE?! Your childhood friend have just confessed she had had a struggling time without you!
Travel time is amazing.. Even I want to know about it... I has same Sunburst reaction
3:35
Applegeek: called it
Sunburst is more of a Magic Scholar than a wizard. He knows alot about magic, but doesn't have the power to use most of it
Maybe they didn't think of a spell to restore that book or perhaps one would need to know the exact contents of the book. I am glad Celestia and Luna were more useful here but I would love to see Nightmare Moon come back i mean I know we saw more of that form of Luna is season 5 finale but i still want more
as far as the Sombra mention. I'd assume the weather control feature is a built in part of the crystal heart which is why sombra hid it away instead of simply destroying it as whats the point of ruling when you're for all intents and purposes dead
46:09 Is that thorax comming to the crystal empire on the backgroung ??!!!
It seems like sunburst has more knowledge of magic while starlight has the most potential
41:00 Did he just say 'Somnambula'?
The pony of Hope from Season 7?
Your reaction when the heart broke thogh omg LAMO
Heh, yeah, I know. XD That was one of those moments where I got really wrapped up in the story, and when I saw the heart breaking, I knew just how screwed they were without it, and my brain pretty much just broke along with the heart. Of course they end up being able to magically repair it, which seems like a bit of a deus ex machina, but I'm not gonna complain about that, because the writers ultimately used this to break away from the cliche of having yet another villain threatening to conquer or destroy Equestria. It was a unique story, and I loved it. :D
It was awesome.
Though that raises the question as to why Sombra didn’t destroy the crystal heart instead of just hiding
@@millerkarageanes1562 he probably wasnt powerful enough to destroy it.
@@Brayden-Wyatt That maybe true considering that it previously destroyed him and all his crystals
There probably was a spell for restoring the book, but given that they simply didn't have the time to look it up, and or didn't think of trying to find it/use it...
+Minnion Oh yeah, I know the sequence of events can be explained away numerous different ways. My personal favorite is that the book that got destroyed was an entire book of restoration spells, including the one to restore damaged books, so that spell was lost too. XD It was just a weak logic point to have a bit of fun poking at. :D
Applegeek
If there was a "Book restoration spell" that Twilight knew of you could bet your best horseshoe that twilight would go out of her way to learn it... (Because lets face it, one of the first things she would be doing with such a spell would probably be salvaging as much of her old libraries stock as she can after Tirek blew it up... Not to mention it would be useful to have around given Spikes tendency to accidentally burn things from time to time...)
+Minnion Eh, excellent point. cdn.meme.am/instances/66284075.jpg
46:09 changeling
ERROR ANONIMO lol
Thorax!!
When the hat fwipped away, I laughed so hard that I started crying until I couldn't breath.
baby flurry Heart kind of remind me of poof from Fairly Odd Parents op too
+Christopher Ocampo Oh dude, that's a perfect comparison! Been way too long since I watched that show for me to have picked up on that myself.
Applegeek i know right
With how powerful Flurry Heart is as a baby, it makes you wonder just how powerful her magic will be as an adult.
You will never find out because they ruined her character.
@@icysweetnexi What exactly do you mean by that? I know she didn't behave the best in "Flurry Of Emotions," but she's not even old enough to talk. She may be powerful, but she's still a baby.
so celestia and Luna weren't born that way? is that what this episode just said? cause if they weren't they better tell us how THEY earned it
+kemi J That's still the subject of much debate, because what many think was implied by this dialogue seems to go against the journal of the two sisters, which is already considered canon. There are many theories running wild right now, so hopefully we'll get some clarification on the princesses' background soon.
I actually read from TV Tropes that when Celestia said about Flurry Heart being the first alicorn born in Equestria, she did not mean the first EVER alicorn born. Rather, Celestia and Luna lived before Equestria was founded, and they were born alicorns, as the Journal of the Two Sisters said. Simply put, Flurry Heart is the first born alicorn since Equestria was founded, but not the very first one.
@@sirclassicalhou3650 I think that's the most likely conclusion. I think that Celestia and Luna are not Equestrian ponies, so they're a different species with different genetics. They were born alicorns, but since Equestrian ponies have never been born alicorns before Flurry Heart was born one, it comes as a huge shock to them.
i noticed at 46:10 the flying black dot one is foreshadowing for thorax
6:24 makes me laugh so much
19:58-20:01 when Fluttershy mentioned those words, "I can only imagine." did Hasbro referenced Disneyfanatic's fan fiction work? #BODandDODSeries
am i the only one who doesn't mind flurry heart being an alicorn?
I don't mind! It kinda makes sense given the mom's one.
When Celestia said “an old student of mine”, she meant he learned at her school of magic, not that he was her protege or star student at some point like twilight.
Nice use of Red Bull
+sadlobster1 Thanks. That leaked clip of Flurry Heart was the one spoiler I couldn't avoid, so I figured I might as well make the most of it. :D
Applegeek
Red Bulls give ponies wings
A difference in the intro is when you see fluttershy’s cottage, you can see discord through the window😊
The reason why celestial and Luna are confused is because flurry hearts parents aren't both alicorns, but celestias and Luna's parents were both alicorns
Also doesn't this mean that technically cadence is queen because flurry heart is probably gonna be the princess?
I think Cadence is an Empress as she rules an empire though she still goes by princess, much like Celestia is clearly the queen but still goes by princess.
Wrong. Celestia and luna were not born alicorns, faust herself says so.
22:19 - 22:25 *Flurry Heart shatters the crystal heart with her strong magical cry, applegeek gasps in surprise, me laughing at that reaction*
Though it raises the question as to why Sombra didn’t just destroy the heart before he was banished instead of merely hiding it
I think that Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armour's parents names are Twilight Velvet and Nightlight
Did you really travel through time?
-Sunburst 😂😂😂
i wish i cud get in touch with the fandom more :/
Same
i cant even go to conventions cuz of my dumb, broke ass.. ;n;
+SunBeam Forest Sorry to hear that, but I'm sure there are a lot that can't make it for one reason or another. I myself am about to spend a rather absurd amount of money to attend two cons this year, MWBF and MLP-MSP, probably a lot more than I really should, but I feel like it's a chance I might never have again. For you, if you can't afford it this year, and really want to go, my suggestion would be to start saving money now for a convention trip next year.
Conventions aside though, there are many localized groups that do regular meetups, and plenty of online forums and such to chat in. The Brony fandom was essentially born out of the internet, and I would say the internet is still the best place to interact with the fandom as a whole.
ya well i dont exactly have a job, havent graduated and my childhood kinda left me fucked up :/ n not exactly always money to save up except birthdays n xmas :/ possibly other holidays if im lucky
+SunBeam Forest Again, sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck in your studies and search for a job. Just remember that regardless of your circumstances, you are special, you are awesome, and you have value as a person. Don't ever let anyone convince you otherwise. ;)
I wonder how Sunburst would react tp the human world and the fact that Twilight went there TWICE by the events of this episode (at least).
I wonder how he would react on meeting Sunset.
People have theorized those 2 could be related.
best thing ever
Celestia is the princess of the sun, Luna the moon, Cadence of love, Twilight Sparkle of friendship, & and Flurry Heart of DESTROYING PRICELESS THINGS, WHATS NEXT THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY!?
46:10
If you look at the left up corner you can see a changeling flying to the crystal empire. A hint for another episode. ;)
4:44 disney's "hercules" movie,art...
7:13 disney's "sleeping beauty" or "sword in the stone" movie,magic...
7:31 two ponies in "sailor moon"...
14:01 disney's "dumbo" movie...
+Caian Clasen Heh, nice references.
The reason why she was born an alicorn is depending on the definition of each princess. Celestia and Luna represent a love for one's sibling, Twilight represents the love for one's friends, cadence represents love for one's partner and the baby represents love for one's caretaker which is an instinct which is why she was born an alicorn.
Alexandra Marengère aha, did you see sawtooth waves/the brony notion video?
It suprising if I can laughing at the video again even those I watch it a few years a go before, knowing most of what happening (but I easily forget words)
because rewatching a funny video ever few years and it still you have a "I completely forgot about that" or " That still get me laugh despite know the joke) is a successful challenge.😅
Flurry Heart used scream! It's super effective!
22:07 i mean every baby likes to be with pinkie
Twilight's parents are:
Mrs Sparkle: Twilight Velvet
Mr. Sparkle: Night Light
Sonic sciences will prove that Flurry Heart's cry matched the resonating factor of the Crystal Hearts isodynamic resonation factor, thus providing physio-vibrational destabilization, resulting in multi-progressive microfracture of the crystal's initial design parameters! (that how a high voice will shatter glass and other semi-rigid brittle materials)
Those of you who are wondering, the reason why celestia said "the birth of an alicorn is something Equestria has never seen" is because when lulu and tia were born, equestria was not founded yet, so they still are natural born alicorns, just they weren't born in equestria, cuz it wasn't a thing yet
discord is in flutershy's window in the opening
As Steve Urkel would say, "Did she do that?" (To Pinkie pie) "Look what you did."
35:49, he's not wrong. Our state apparently has the worst winters in the country. I might be wrong on that part.

Me: NO NO NO PLEASE BE A JOKE

**My heart breaks*
Wow, I’m surprised that when Flurry Heart was an alicorn, he didn’t scream in happiness. He just drank his Redbull.
He unfortunately got spoiled that she was an alicorn before watching the episode, so he said somewhere in this section that he decided to make the best out of it. Which was of course, pulling out the redbull to make a reference. ( Redbull gives you wings)
“Push them back my sister!!!” Idk why that part literally gave me chills and teary eyes
Q: What's a punishment worse than death or being sent to the moon for a 1,000 years?
A: having to be princes twilights student.
+Vexatron Primal I'm honestly not sure if you meant that as a joke or not. I would definitely disagree with you on that though.
You know, that triggered a thought for me though. I've heard others say that Starlight was the best villain, and I actually tend to agree. BUT, I also don't think she really deserves a super harsh punishment. It was clear in the The Cutie Remark that Starlight didn't realize how big of an impact the Mane 6 have had on Equestria. If she had, I think she probably wouldn't have risked the messing up the timeline like she did. Her ultimate goal was never world conquest, not the way I see it anyway. Originally, she was just, in her own twisted way, trying to make sure that nopony would ever suffer the same pain she had when Starburst left her, and after getting beaten, her focus turned to revenge on Twilight and friends. Given that the original timeline got restored, and she became genuinely sorry for everything she had done, I'm not sure I would have had the guts to hand down any kind of serious punishment, such as banishment to the moon. I'm much happier seeing Twilight helping her learn how to make friends.
Applegeek it was a joke...
+Vexatron Primal I suspected, but I have a bad habit of second-guessing myself.
