I find it so funny how cosy glow breaks the book free from its lock with a book about keys. I also love how chrysalis brings it up about how the ponies have so many holidays
I know right😂
This season is just lampshading everything. I love it.
*cozy glow
7:15 Of all the things for Tirek to feel sympathy for, it’s a bird. Though he did have an army of Monsters made from birds and butterflies in Gen 1.
MLP is a Hasbro brand. Of course it has a Gen 1. This is Gen 4 after all.
@@Cobra-Commander83 yes it does, but even then I dont think they ment that, or im dumb
He's the Android 16 of the group.
Lol Gen 1 was my childhood
Yeah, that was a surprise. Gotta remember that, oddly, Tirek is the smartest of the three, or at least the one that can control himself more. Cozy Glow is a good strategist, but she still has her childish naive personality, and Chrysalis has serious anger issues (still love her tho).
“This is like the avengers of MLP episodes”
Me: well yes but something gives me the feeling this isn’t the closest to avengers that mlp will get this season since it just seems to get bigger and bigger with every episode
OK TOO SOON IM SORRY BUT NOT SORRY AGH I SHOULDNT HAVE DECIDED TO WATCH ENDGAME AGAIN UGHHHH
Another successfully written episode by Michael Vogel I must say! So good to have another seasonal plot driven episode like this one. I also love how Twilight is becoming more mature when it comes to challenging situations, one of my favorite things about this episode.
Vogel is the german word for bird.
This was useless info with Darth Sombra see ya all next time.
@@darthsombra2102 Also bird in Dutch!
Full steam ahead toward the finale CHOO CHOO
Can you react to motherly Scootaloo
That’s a good series but I’d rather see blank slate react to scootertrix The abridged
yeah
Where'sthebrakeswhere'sthebrakes WHERE'S THE FUCKING BRAKES
I already watched that even though it was in a different language
Putting a warning here now: There are spoilers in these comments! I repeat, POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS.
Thank you for warning me 😊
You are a real life hero
Thanks XD
Discord is Grogar
@That Grey Peanut Please delete your comment.
20:00 I just realized the book she uses has a key on it...
I didn't catch that the first time. It's so brilliant!
Narrative twists? Discord knows something that the evil trio plans?
Man, you have no idea...
“Why couldn’t they do that with lyra and bon bon this one time”
to quote discord, it really does seems you just might be ready for whatever comes next!
21:25 "There are two ponies who have watched over us, night and day, for as long as we can remember."
"It's Doctor and Rose!"
16:14
Last witness killed. Bounty removed from Canterlot.
Those Cantorlot Guards are just the worst! They need to go to bootcamp at the Crystal Empire. At least those guys threw spears at Sombra, before they got rolled over!
Josh is going to have a field day when he reviews this.
@@fictionfan0 ooohhh boy. Buckle up I guess
Cause Equestria lets anyone get any job without any practice
I know that Cozy Tyrek and Chrysalis are villains but I love seeing them work together
It really is a great example of the sum being greater than the parts. They're all competent on their own, but together their strengths complement each other and allow them to do more than any of them could individually. It really is interesting to see how successful they can be this way and makes them an imposing threat for the Mane 6.
Miss maddness what is that nighmarish profile
No one listen to Applejack
Now she’s becoming a background pony
She always was.
Who’s Applejack?
Hasbro doesn't like her too much
Yeah.
Silly Applejack. If anyone listened to her, the episode would only be 5 minutes long
The episode was awesome, especially since we see Twilight not Twilighting and freaking out for once, and the villains did a pretty good job of delaying preparation for the celebration by distracting all those ponies.
Seen this episode so many times, but this reaction is the first time I noticed it. 20:21, walking in the foreground, those are totally the Bronycon mascots. Blank Canvas, Hoof Beatz, and Mane Event, Baltimare's Own. Man, I'm gonna miss Bronycon. And this show, for that matter. Thanks for doing this for all of us, Red Horse. We appreciate your sacrifices (yes, I saw the Anthology video too.)
I feel like Discord can 4th wall break but he chooses not to
This is what made me come to peace with the show ending, because... of just how calm,and n control, and developed Twilight is. Between this and the last ep......I just freaking love crazy Twilight stressing the hell out. And the show is at a place where, those bizarre, ponies going nuts over low stakes events fun is so hard to do at this point. The character have simply matured to a point they are (usually) too stable for this type of thing to keep going.
Also *Commence insane cackling at those prediction*
I can't wait for the Star Trek episode when Grand Pear and Mudbriar go back to the 80s to get two humpback whales only to run into the Continuum. #Dreaming
Yas time to watch blank check while eating brown sugar and butter
@@magicpigeon_ sounds like something my mom would do
Please tell me that's just a dessert boiled down to its key ingredients.
fictionfan0 kinda. I ate bread pudding
@@orionsarrow1025 Maybe this is just my lack of culinary understanding talking, but...
What?
Or even better crushed butter biscuits and melted butter.
16:10 Blank slate might be the only youtuber i've watched who commented on how fire that shadow work with cozy glow was
The frantic pony with his stressful personality makes him sound like Russell of Littlest Pet Shop with a hint of Double-D.
Russell from LPS, does come to mind!
They have the same voice actor.
Camryn Brewer This I’m aware of, which explains why the voice range for this character is near-similar.
GIVE ME MORREEEEE
It's not often I hear you address her as "Chrissy," Blank. It's adorably funny!
3:04 technically, they don't keep it all for themselves. Many have been able to go in and read certain parts of the archives, so... you're just making assumptions here, Tirek.
9:41 when I first saw this episode I wanted to call them out for forgetting that 1, Tirek wasn't able to absorb Earth Pony magic until he'd already absorbed large amounts of both unicorn and pegasus magic, 2, whenever he steals magic from a pony they're Cutie Mark vanishes and 3, Frenemies suggested he can't take magic from those who resist in his current state.
Then I thought Tirek isn't absorbing magic the same way as in season 4, as back then, he took ALL the magic from each victim and here he was more taking the upper layer of magical life Force, thus Cutie Marks don't vanish and he's actually able to do it.
But... later episodes show that, nope, I was right the first time. The animators just forgot those details.
They also don't bother to explain why Discord doesn't notice Tirek stealing the magic, since it should be causing a magical imbalance, the thing he used to track down Tirek last time.
12:26 *cough* The Alicorn Princesses who can control the sun and Moon, love, among other crazy shit *cough*
Sorry. Had something in my throat. You were saying, Cheese Legs?
16:14 the fact Celestia, Luna and the rest Learn nothing about this shows that, even under Flash Magnus's teachings... the Royal Guard are as incompetent as ever
This guard finds Cozy Glow, a known criminal who SHOULD be in Tartarus, followed by Tirek (also supposed to be in Tartarus) draining his magic, something he went through before when Tirek invaded Canterlot back in season 4... and DIDN'T tell the Princesses about it?
This guy needs to be fired for letting Equestria get attacked later on.
If he'd bothered to inform the Princesses who'd attacked him, they'd know Tirek and Cozy Glow have gotten out of Tartarus.
How, they'd still not know, but they would know they were out there and, upon checking the archives, would've realized the book about Grogar's Bewitching Bell was gone and would still be able to guess that they must have his Bewitching Bell and realize how bad that is and would've prepared for the invasion.
20:04 REALLY? The book about Grogar's Bewitching Bell, the FATHER OF MONSTERS and it's protected by a chain so flimsy smashing a simple BOOK against it breaks it?
I get the joke of a book with a key on the cover being what Cozy uses to get through the chains and it is funny.
But in context, clearly, when Shining Armour overhauled the castle's security, for some bizarre reason, he never considered the area WITH TONS OF SPELLS AND DANGEROUS MAGICAL ARTIFACTS to be of any concern.
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Not to mention, why is IT in Canterlot when the Inspiration Manifestation book was locked behind a secret door over a seemingly bottomless pit in the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters?
Wouldn't it have been safer THERE?
22:30 yeah, there's hidden meaning regarding Grogar and what Discord knows in that line.
It's not what you'd expect though.
23:37 I... don't get what Cozy and Queen Cheese Legs are talking about here.
None of the pony races turned against each other. If anything, they turned against themselves. Unicorns turned against other unicorns, the pegasi were trying to fix what they'd have seen as a huge problem caused by one of their own and the Earth Ponies thought they were sick from food poisoning from the food THEY THEMSELVES made.
I don't see how they interpreted THAT into turning unicorns, pegasi and Earth Ponies against the other races.
Did something happen off screen we're unaware of?
Autum Breeze Tirek's Magic might be different because he has some of Grogar's to start with and we don't know how his works
@@aromaladyellie true, but he absorbed it like he does other magic, synthesizing it into his own.
It's not any different than back in season 4.
I get what you're going for, but that can only apply in the two parter, not at this point in the show.
At this point, Tirek's magic is no different than usual
RIP Lesson Zero Twilight
Press F to Pay Respects
I have a feeling that Discord knows a lot more than he lets on. I like to believe he can see little glimpse of the future (after all, he could go back in time, shown in his premier), which is why he always seems to know what's about to happen. Example being at the end of this episode, second episode of season 9, etc.
Eh, it's just my lil head cannon I guess.
BEHOLD!!! Foreshadowing.
Also, if you're complaining about LyraBon not getting enough love, just you wait!
Lmao someone needs to make a fanfic were Tirek is a bounty hunter XDXD
Finally, another episode that feels less like filler and more like something that belongs in a final season.
I get what you mean, but try to keep in mind that MLP:FiM has a ratio highly in favor of slice of life episodes over adventure arches. It isn't really filler, when it's what the show is by default.
I'm pumped for the final villain showdown
As we get closer to the end of the series, we can hope for a great future for mlp Hen 5.
Hen 5?
It's the new show they're coming out with. They're centering it around chickens instead of ponies; haven't you heard?
I don't understand why everyone was so hyped for gen 5. Completely different characters. Completely different art style. More gen alpha like. It's just awful.
i had to Google to see when it's going to Season Finale and we have a long way to go.
Evil road trip for the Villain's and this going to epic ep.
oh Fanfiction idea crossover of Harry potter and input the song Celebration come on!
I just realised something. What if it was the Trivia Trot and what she did during it that made Twilight so determined to not freak out again? Like, after how much she freaked out over something so trivial (pun intended), she came to the realisation that if she's going to rule Equestria, she needed to do something about that problem ASAP.
24:07 oh, don't worry, Blank. They've something big planned for LyraBon, but it'll be in the background, so you'll have to pay close attention
Did this episode end up on anyone's top 10 list???
Who else is hyped for the finale!?
18:21
Wow, that's literally what I said to my friends an hour ago lol
19:01 people need to listen and follow what Twilight just said. With us dealing with the Coronavirusr right now as 3/24/2020
21:28 the Doctor and Rose in the background sgdsvshudjehshdhdh my heartttt
Can’t wait for your reaction of the last few episodes
3:12 Family road trip!
11:40 "We got a Lancelot over here! Ready for the joust. She doesn't even need a rider!"
Although having one would be more fun. ;)
Celestia: we don’t know what to say...
Twilight: oh please, I just want a day off to grade papers
20:09 a KEY book
LEADER OF EQUESTRIA? WHAT EPISODE DID I MISS
Am I the only one who adores different perspectives in an episode? Like go from one group of chars to another? Heck it's one of the reasons why I enjoy Disaster Movies.
13:37 "hurricanes fuck!"
This episode is fun
this episode is so fun that it's a shame it's held back from the masterclass it could be by plotholes
This was so cool and the morale and plot were amazing. The villens are really good as a team cant waite to see what happenens next.
/)(\
I like that it was both a hero and villains episode while lots of episodes are hero episodes
Daddy Tirek and cute daughter Cozy Glow going to Canterlot
And Chrysalis her Mom!
nobody think of the windigos at the end ? I mean, make the three species fight ? Come on !!!
dunno why but i kinda like this episode. its been my 7th time watching this specific episode and its still interesting
Alicorn amulet I want this to come back it looked cool and seemed too good to forget
Episode starts at 2:11
Discord Knows
17:26 ILLYMATION REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's hope she gets the hang of the watch.
5:07 a.k.a we bailing! Bitches
Wow, you've really been uploading these fast.
Sunset Shimmer's mother
I wonder how many pony holidays were made by Pinkie alone.
I wish the guy who wrote this wrote all of the episodes this season. *Heavy sigh*
in the first 200
11:08 SERIOUSLY!?!? DOES ANYONE IN THIS SHOW READ A NEWSPAPER!?!?!? 😡😡😡😡😡
Queen Chrysalis is best pony, in this, and every episode.
Book is locked and needs a key
What do you do
Smash it with a book with a key on the title page duh
you say that it's the "avengers of mlp" hehe just wait till the 2nd to last episode :)
Next episode is gonna make Blank squee
Next gen away good video here
There are UA-camrs posting clips from the remaining episodes with spoilery thumbnails and titles and I'm legit starting to hate them for doing it.
One thing I don't get is why people celebrate the defeat of nightmare moon, but in the very first episode,, nopony knew who nightmare moon was even though they were celebrating her defeat?
*thumbs up for Discord "cheerleader version"*
It would be funny if Twilight set the sun and moon on an automatic sycle.
The last part makes me think they will to something to destroy harts warming eve
“I don’t stress over things anymore”
*Literally spends last episode stressing over trivia*
seriously how did they miss that?
I can't believe that the villains are starting a race war
I'm gonna miss Mlp when the series end :(
You and me both!!
I think using the remains of Chrysalis’ throne within the castle is a grave error on the ponies’ part. After Shining Armor used it in that sibling rivalry game, yeah. Not a good idea.
How so?
MiraculousEverafter's Forever Since Chrysalis is still out there, she could harness its powers for herself since she can easily shape-shift into any creature and sneak through without notice.
@@twist58 Oh! That makes sense! And the fact that it is HER throne! So maybe she could use it's powers to her advantage!
Yay
Omg i think discord will save pony ville
Im actually kinda early for this video wow.
grogar in this season isn't really grogar
did he not already upload this
Is it really a setback if it’s solved in 10 minutes?
Let me just say that:
Discord fucked up!
"wink wink", If you know what I mean.
Hey Blank I dont know if you have ever seen the music video "I am Octavia" by TehJadeh if not can you please react to it
Are you going to watch mlp last episode? l will love to watch that video ❤️
I agree with you that there could be more done with the final season as its been going so far, but believe me I've seen far worse be done in recent years. I mean did you see the final season of Star Vs? XD
Pointless episodes dealing with storylines no one cared about or that went nowhere. Ignoring things being set up in additional materials they were selling to their fan base. Forgetting to even foreshadow their main villain's reveal until the absolute last minute. Having multiple characters be stupid for the plot. Useless love triangle nonsense with a cliche pay off. Oh and lets not forget hand waving away the main character committing a genocide on a race of thinking, feeling and aspirating creatures with families that couldn't even defend themselves. Lol
22:34 sorry for the spoiler but he knows alright. Let's just say the magic of grogar is chaotic!
I wish there was one video where someone doesn’t talk over the show, and that he/she talks but not every 5 seconds. He/she talks and I can’t here the story line well...
What's with the audio?
Big Mac and sugar bell are going to get married
Stop spoilering bro.
Spoilers in comments, be careful!
Where Starlight Glimmer and when season 9 episode 19.
🤨 he just uploaded 17 and now you expect an episode 2 later already?
13:08 then react to a different perspective
So whats going to happen to the channel when gen 4 ends with your channel?
equestria girls is getting a new season in 2020 then the movie and the gen 5 series starts a year later depending if he's part of the group that's going to quit the fandom by the time gen 4 ends
S3...
