Behold! The MLP league of villain! The father of monsters and the ancient master of the dark arts, Emperor Grogar! The devour of all that is magical and crusher of dreams, Lord Tirek! Drainer of love, breaker of hearts, and master of deception, Queen Chrysalis! And this pink ten year old girl.
I actually think that Cozy is the key to the reformation of Chryssie. The tiny bits about the elements of friendship that she'll keep planting in their heads might lead to the buggo queen's... ahem... *change*
i adore sombra's new voice :'D i feel like his old one really wasn't suited to speaking full sentences, lmao. or having any form of personality that wasn't immediately boring as hell. love this snooty lad
me too, xD and he did! he didn't freak da fuck as much as i hoped tho, TPrower get's that prize, (maybe not as much i thought he would, but he did flip out about this whole Premiere, ) and i hope Applegeek gonna filp le shit out too, :P
I have several hopes for the season, but main 2 are: Scorpan finally making an appearance. You have Tirek free from Tartarus and likely going to make a scene; GIVE ME SOME BROTHER ANGST! If there's one thing I love more than villain reforms, it's villains having siblings on the good side that they have to deal with. Plus we never got to see them interact so like....PLEASE CAN WE HAVE THIS IT'S THE FINAL SEASON GUYS THROW US A BONE. Discord, upon finally seeing Tirek back and attacking his friends again, LOSING HIS SH!T and being 100% ready to throw down this time. No jokes, no cute little banter, just COME AT ME. OR, if I can't have that, at least give us some sort of reaction cuz this is the guy who manipulated and lied to him and almost cost him everything. I NEED SOME FORM OF REACTION PLEASE.
Scorpan really does need to appear. And if fan favorites like Cheese Sandwich and Quibble can return with their voices being reprised by Weird Al and Patton Oswalt respectively, they should do the same with the other guest voices like say, Countess Coloratura or Autumn Blaze!
you know what is scary, that was what ONE of the villains was able to do, so what will happen with ALL of them? Granted Sombra was probably the most powerfull after Grogahr, but still
Well, lets try to rank them, shall we: Grogar, Ex-Emperor of Equestria: We do not know the full extend of his powers, but he brought Sombra back from the Dead, teleportet all of the Villains to his Lair, without needing to be near them, and one of his magic Orbs had enough Power to give Tirek his 2. Form back. Lord Tirek: He has the most potential to be biggest threat, thanks to his Magic-Absorbtion. He is also very persuasive, if he wants to be. There seems to be no Limit to how much Power he can absorb, which is why he is on 2. Place at the Moment, but as soon as he has enough Power he uses all the stolen Magic like a Hammer to crush everything in his Way, instead of something creative or unpredictable. King Sombra, Ruler of the Crystal Empire: His Magic can trap Enemies in their greatest Fear, which is very handy for psychological combat, he seems to be a very good planner and can apparently now freely travel as a dark cloud, which makes him very mobile. His biggest strengh are his black Crystals. He can spawn them everywhere as barriers or weapons and make cages out of them that are very resistent to magic, and that you can not teleport out of. He can even use them to make unicorns helpless, by letting the Crystals grow on their Horns. Could he use this skill on Tireks or Chryssalis' Horns, to take away their Firepower? His Skillset seems perfect to quickly disable enemies. Took a Blast from the Elements to the Face and still came back for a second round. He is vulnerable to the Crystal Heart, when it is charged with positive Feelings and seems weak to the Type of "Love" Magic that Cadance uses. (Also suddenly rather arrogant and prideful which was his downfall) Queen Chryssalis of the Changelings: Can take on the Form of any Being, which makes her very hard to catch, as long as she remembers to stay in character. Gets stronger the more Love she absorbs, but seems to have a Limit. (Had Mind control-Magic in S2. Can she still do that?) Can fly. Manipulative, but seems to have lost a bit of her calculating Personality after her Subjects turned against her and she went slightly insane with revenge. Cozy Glow: Very manipulative, highly intelligent for a Filly (could she be just a Mare with stunted Growth?). Can fly. Can probably manipulate the weather to a small extend. Seems to have a good Understanding of magical Artifacts. Physically not very powerful, has no offensive Magic, except for her Pegasus-Abilities and is in Trouble if she finds herself in a Situation that she can't talk her way out of.
I never had a favorite season premiere of MLP until now. “The Beginning of the End” has exceeded my expectations in more ways than one. Several things from my S9 wishlist have been confirmed already, like Sombra’s return, Equestrian villains working together, and Grogar’s debut(he was the icing on the cake). Sombra’s moments in the spotlight convinced me that he is a very big threat to Equestria and I like him a lot more now that he’s given us this much characterization and demonstration of his villainy. Everything about this two-parter is amazing and that’s why it’s #1 on my list of premieres. I enjoyed your reaction as well, one of my favorites!
Sombra is officially one of my favourite characters, I mean he was anyway but he's just so stupidly sassy. And someone please get Chrysalis some help. XD
Your reaction to Sombra was EXACTLY the same as mine. Also at first I thought that when the elements were destroyed they were still trapped in their greatest fear spell.
@@domonicsantalucia9002 *facepalm* Of course! Yeah, dark formless Creature that merges with a Character...it fits. You know, the fact that I completely forgot the P.o.S even existed says something about the Impact that it had. And by that I mean None.
Johannes Seyfried I don’t know pony of shadows is the first creature that comes to mind when compared to him both shot out tentacles and take over ones body
SO I've been wondering....is that crystal ball sorta thing Grogar has supposed to be the eyeball of Arimaspi? Ya know, that big goat monster that attacked Griffonstone ages ago in the story Grandpa Gruff talked about? That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it, but he fell into the Abysmal Abyss and died and his skeleton is still there...but still....I wonder. Like, that ball is definitely an eyeball right?
Note: I don't really know much about Grogar from before now, so if that's just a lore-you-might-know-if-you-watch-previous-generations thing then I guess I'll just wait for explanation in the show later on if that's expounded on. Till then...Arimaspi??
@@altart8102 As far as I know Grogar did not have a Crystal Ball in G1. There was a Demon named Arabus that had a magic Mirror through which he could spy on others, but that is not really the same. You can of course headcanon it, that Grogar turned the Eye of an Arimaspi into a magic Crystal, but it seems a bit to dark, so I doubt the Show will take this route. The Thing probably just looks like an Eye to go with Grogars whole Goat/Ram Theme. His Cave looks like a Goats Head too. (Any Speculations where that could be? Somewhere in the Badlands maybe?)
Man, I have been waiting for your reaction since the episode came out. You are truly my favorite reactor to this series, and it has been a joy watching you enjoy this series and more since your last channel! Can’t wait for the rest of the season and to geek out with you!
PLEASE let Flim and Flam come back for one final performance! They haven't been reformed yet, or even properly defeated! They're perfect for the League! Also, the Mortal Kombat character you were trying to reference with the masks is Kabal.
Season 9 finale prediction: The Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer are caught in a binding spell. Grogar: Now, with all seven of you captured, I can at last-- Trixie: Teacup! Grogar:
It’s almost like discord was Tony Stark and Twilight was Peter Parker. If your nothing without this suit then you shouldn’t have it. Discord’s message translated: if your nothing without my magic then you shouldn’t have it.
Another reason Discord didn't get involved at all; The Tree of Harmony is the only thing that can stop him. Think about it. His power is now absolute. We're lucky he's on our side.
Yay, i couldn’t wait for this! I am sick, so i had time to rewatch your reactions from the past again in the last few days, your freak outs to Derpy’s return, CMCs getting their Cutie Marks, Cheese Sandwich (had to watch it 3 times), G4 Tirek and The Smooze made me feel better. I know that you watched G1, so i couldn’t wait to see your reaction to Grogar‘s return, and i was not disappointed. Thanks for this awesome reaction, this made my day! /)
Glad you're back on DYWTBA. Although your LPS reactions caught my attention during the long period of no new MLP material, kinda wish you finished the former though. Anyway, MLP:FiM Season 9 is going to be quite a run!
Grogar, the 1st emperor of Equestria and the father of monsters, curious to see if the unition of Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns is why we have not seen him in a while.
They are forgetting that they actually lost to Chrysalis the second time and that it was Starlight and friends who stopped her. And they had nothing to do with Cozys defeat. And they didn't actually beat Chrysalis the first time(that was Cadence and SA) and they needed the Pillars and Starlight to beat the Pony of shadows. And it was the Crystal Heart that stopped Sombra the first time. And Starlight decided to stop on her own without any influence from the other 5. And they needed Tempest turning traitor to beat the Storm King. Yeah. It really falls apart. When you try to say it was only the Mane 6 who stopped all the threats,.,
Do you have a time stamp Where they said it was only the mane 6 who stopped the threats?? I just remember them saying that they didn't need the princesses help to beat these guys.
They pretty much insinuated that it was only the 7 of them when they were talking about past threats. Then again when Twilight said as long as we had the elements, we never failed. Again insinuating that it was only the seven of them. Lot of this premier is just worded very badly. Plus they pretty much enforced the idea that without the elements/deus ex macina, they would fail. Which kinda makes Discords speech about not needing it meaningless. You might not see them, but they are still there. 'You don't need the elements to beat sombra.' Then they promptly beat Sombra with the elements. Come on!
Hold on They said they have always won without the princesses help. And they aren't really talking about just themselves they are talking about themselves & their friends. Which of course would include Starlight & the student six. 1.) If Twilight hadn't rescued cadence Chrysalis would have won. 2.) Even though they needed the pillars & Starlight they still beat the pony of shadows. 3.) Spike got the crystal heart which saved the empire. 4.) Yes starlight stopped but only because was talked down by Twilight. 5.) Twilight used friendship as well as her beliefs to get Tempest to save them from being stone but the storm king literally turned on tempest.
Maybe if they actually included Starlight in those scenes, it wouldn't look like they are only referring to the 7 of them. It comes off looking really badly written.
I just learned about the Dark Triad and it hit me: • Sombra is Narcissism; - his self centered ness and over the top ego - his tantrum at being bested again - his own ego getting in the way of his victory • Cozy Glow and Queen Chrysalis are machiavellians. - long period planning and patience - manipulation and exploitation of anyone, even those with close relations. - continued planning after a defeat Tirek is psychopathy. - spontaneous attack - thought short term goals and manipulation - no planning after defeat; just took an opportunity once it was brought. I wonder how this will all work out with Grogar.
I am really looking forward to the Fearsome Four: Grogar was the perfect villain to bring the rest of them together. He not only was a Gen 1 villain, but also got some history and he is intimidating. I also believe, that they will get his bell back, since they mentioned it, perhaps in one of the episodes, what would make him even more impressive.
So is the sentient tree of harmony dead now??? Cozy glows aim is actually clear to me now after this episode..... they defeated sombra without the elements of harmony.... but before this I thought cozy has a misconception on how friendship works...I thought cozy had a bad plan on becoming empress because how could she defeat Celestia, manipulate her to death. But after this episode Friendship is Magic/power as cozy glows puts it Also, is nobody going to say anything about " for our friends, for our family, for our home, for equestria" ....is that their new line now Also, I'm surprised you didn't get spoiled on grogar...this was spoiled to me way before s8...
Edit: The line from starswirl doesn't makes sense, the elements were already being used when discord was being turned to stone the same time that discord planted the seeds. Starswirl wasn't keeping the forest under control before the tree did because the forest isn't out of control to begin with. What if the league of villain created a tree of disharmony....hmmmmm...it corrupts everypony, starting with Celestia...I know grogar is a good villain but we started out with nightmare moon, wouldn't it be fitting if we ended with Celestia ..although I know this wouldn't happen..just my thought to put out..that would be cool..too bad there wouldn't be a season 10
Calling it right now the bell on the tip of starswirl's hat is Grogar's bell and it's gonna be like SVTFOE with Toffee and his finger (Also you deserve much love for the Code Lyoko mention)
You are the only reaction channel that remembers who “Grogar” is. This brings back childhood memories for me being an 80’s baby. I grew up and remember that particular mini-arc from MLP G1. “Tierek” was a nice touch for the Season 4 Finale, & now Grogar showing up for the Season 9 Premiere was a delightful to see because I was not expecting the writers to go that far back into MLP villains rogues gallery. Can’t wait to see your reaction to S9 Episode 3. Keep up the good work 👏👍😁👍❤️🇺🇸🎉!
AppleGeek recognized him. towards the side he made a note saying how he was a Gen1 villain. same with LuffyIsCool. RarityDash flat out said he was from gen 1 if i recall correctly.
Considering this is the first video of yours that I've seen i apologies tremendously You reactions were pretty much EXACTLY like mine. Consider me now and forever more a subscriber viewer and loyal follower of your UA-cam.
big mac sure gets put under a LOT of mind-altering/controlling spells for a simple farm worker. poor dude did not sign up for all this shit. can we get him a therapist at least
01:56 Have you seen your eye doctor recently, Luna? ;J 02:12 So what is it that you two do, exactly? :q 03:03 This is not just regular doubt. This is ADCANCED doubt :J 04:22 Ignorance is bliss, I guess? ;J 05:42 And Twilight is like: "DO I LOOK LIKE I HAD?!!!" :D 06:25 Just don't inhale the water, please :J 07:10 Hahah I knew you will like this moment ;D Glad you noticed it, because you almost missed it ;) 09:09 Considering there's a giant eye of Arimaspi glowing in the background, I think you should have known it at this moment already ;> 10:05 Well, her and her friends being the strongest protectors of Equestria for the past 8 seasons, I guess it's painfully obvious? :q 11:05 It gets worse :q It gets FABULOUS :q 12:20 It's kinda ironic that the best summary of the Mane Six comes from the mouth of a villain. But it's also very fitting. Who else would know their strongest points? (But I'm afraid that if he can know that, he can also know their biggest weaknesses :q ) And it's kinda ironic too, that the only way for the villains to catch up, is to implement Friendship themselves :J But as they're doing it, they're digging their own grave at the same time ;> Because using the Magic of Friendship will affect them from their inside for sure, turning them good in the process, which means that redemption seems to be the only possible outcome :J 13:35 Insert "Watch out, we have an expert here" Neil DeGrasse-Tyson meme here :q 16:45 Blitzkrieg :q 22:00 Yeeesss ;>
24:15 Something that Chrissie failed to do in "The Mean Six" ;> 25:45 Because he's a sadist ;> He want to taunt them with their biggest fears for a while before finishing with them ]:-> 26:26 Forget Scootaloo. This is perhaps the first moment any PONY cared for Spike and mentioned him in such situation. And it's kinda interesting that pony was Rainbow Dash and not Twilight. Could it be that they got a bit closer since that trip to the Dragon Lands they both had together in S7 finale? Rainbow Dash showed that she cares for Spike quite a bit in that scene too. 26:32 I hope that was mud :J 28:38 Well, bringing your greatest fears upon you is kinda what Sombra does, isn't it? ;J 29:29 "You have my axe" - Rainbow Dash ;) 30:03 No no no, this is called "retirement" ;) BTW it's funny how Celestia's throne is slightly bigger than Luna's ;J The sisterhood rivalry will never end... :q 30:50 That's what I call a good distraction :q 36:25 You never reveal who you care about the most to a clever villain :q 36:29 You didn't see THIS coming, did you? ;> 40:04 Which only shows that THEY are the Elements indeed ;J 42:32 Yeah, I would say I'm happy to hear that, and that maybe now you'll do that more often, if the show wouldn't be coming to and end soon :q
I’m sorry, but this is just what my mind heard when Cozy was talking at the end: “Now I’ll say something nice about Russians. Tirek, you say something nice about Latinos. And Chrysalis, you say something nice about white people.” Chrysalis: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!
The only real loser here is Sombra. Grogar used him as an example to to make a point about working together. Discord used him as a test dummy to make sure Twilight can handle villains if he is not around. Sombra was just killed 2 more times with only a bit of character development which portray him as flamnboyant generic Bond villain.
Well. This kind of destroys the idea that the Young 6 will inherit the elements, since they are destroyed and the Main 6 being the physical embodiment of them now.
@titan hades: The Elements (as in the gemstones) are just "transducers". The real Elements are the Mane Six themselves. Let's not forget about that anymore, ok? And in the same way, the Pilars of Equestria were the six legendary ponies, not just some random items that belong to them. There's another analogy: the magic keys that opened the Harmony Box. They were just random items as well, but it is what those items _represented_ that makes them to be the keys. So, by analogy, I'm pretty sure they'll find some way to make the Mixed Six / Student Six or whatever people call them now to be the new Elements, or some new... _generation_ of them? :q (I tried as hard as I could to avoid this particular word, because I don't want to jinx it with G5 ;q )
@@shadowx8145 Is that something one should be ashamed of? :q I would rather say it's a _blessing_ because it allows one to watch the show spoilers-free and be amazed.
Grogar was also a Necromancer. Came from Caperon's reaction to watch yours too DYWTBA. Now all we need is Applegeek's reaction man. Also... I LOVED WHAT THEY DID WITH SOMBRA HERE! LONG LIVE THE KING!!!
So seven years after Sombra's defeat, he is brought back by Grogar. He wanted to use Sombra in his plans, but Sombra was greedy so he decided to betray Grogar. Like when Charmcaster betrayed Hex in Ben 10. Speaking of which I'm sure Fluttershy wouldn't last a minute on planet Anur Transyl. Neither would the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Snips and Snails would pee themselves. If there's going to be a Nightmare Night episode, the ponies could decorate Ponyville to make it look similar to Anur Transyl and they could dress up as Loboans (alien werewolfs), Transylians (alien Frankenstein's monsters), Thep Khufans (alien mummys) and Ectonurites (alien phantoms). I bet the student six would love to give that a try. Although Fluttershy said she dosen't wants to be part of Nightmare Night but it would be good if she could gather up her courage and join her friends by dressing up as a Thep Khufan or an Ectonurite. Also there was a crossover movie about Ben 10 and Generator Rex a few years ago. I was thinking, how about a crossover with Ben 10 and Megas XLR? Ben could use Upgrade to merge with Megas to make it a lot cooler, maybe transform it into battle vehicles like a Transformer. Ben could also use Grey Matter to fix Megas's time machine and Kiva would be happy about it. And if the Glorft find out about that, the epic battle would begin. With the help of Ben, Coop, Jamie and Kiva will finally be able to defeat the Glorft once and for all. And I agree that the old Ben 10 series was much better, and Megas XLR needs a revival. It's too bad that the Elements of Harmony are destroyed, but on the bright side now the villains won't be able to use them. But now that the elements are no more, it could be possible that some day the HuMane sevens geodes are going to be destroyed as well? I don't know but the writers should make a Halloween Equestria Girls movie. According to the medieval belief magic is on it's greatest power on Halloween, so that could effect the leaking magic from the portal and the girls geodes. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the villains. Grogar might find a way to get his bell back, but at the ending Tirek, Cozy and Chrysalis looked scared of him. Maybe they'll turn against him? It could happen, like when Ren Krawler turned against emperor Barodius in Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders. We'll have to wait and see.
The reason way things like react week were put on hold was because i was to busy trying to get a Job in the industry of animation. Since now that i got an internship over at rooster teeth i would like to say things will come back. But it's also possible my schedule will be even more pact now that I'm working on there products.
Can we get an F for my mans Sombra? This dude died a total of 3 times in the same cartoon, that has to be some type of academy record.
Outside of the Dragonball series, maybe.

Did anyone else notice that Grogar’s crystal ball was the eye of that monster that attacked Griffonstone?
I didn't notice that. I noticed that it looked like a goat's eye, though.
Yup, see my comment somewhere above. It's an eye of Arimaspi, those one-eyed giant goats from "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone".

S9 is off to a damned solid start.
does anyone else look at Gogar's base and think " Meanwhile At The Legion Of Doom "
That's the first thing I thought of while I saw that 😂
yes.
i don't know if i should thank or smack my dad for thinking that.
Your reaction to Sombra was EXACTLY the same as mine. Also at first I thought that when the elements were destroyed they were still trapped in their greatest fear spell.
Yup, that how I predict it. 9:33
Every villain should thanks King Sombra for take out Equestria greatest defense system.
Sombra voice to me when I first watched it confused me too because it sounded like blueblood's voice with an echo.
Before even watching I predict we're gonna have one very happy DYWTBA_Universe there in the end. :D
Don't overlook the possibility of Sombra returning. Grogar already showed once that he was capable of bringing him back once.

You can of course headcanon it, that Grogar turned the Eye of an Arimaspi into a magic Crystal, but it seems a bit to dark, so I doubt the Show will take this route.
The Thing probably just looks like an Eye to go with Grogars whole Goat/Ram Theme. His Cave looks like a Goats Head too. (Any Speculations where that could be? Somewhere in the Badlands maybe?)
My theory is that Sombra is Bluebloods ancestor
Blueblood is supposedly Celestia's nephew. You think maybe Sombra had something going with Luna at some point? 😉
Discord's Face at 5:05 explains the WHOLE thing of his Act XD
Did anyone else get a Scar vibe from Sombra Especially with the long live the king line also discord was brushing is beard With a dingle Hopper
I got more of a Zod vibe :)
This is my personal favorite premiere so far.
About sombra I agree I liked fall of the crystal empire animation sombra
Anyone else kind of disappointed that they didn't bring back the Pony of Shadows Symbiote for this as well?
Yeah but we maybe they will later.
I think it needs a host to sustain itself
Man, I have been waiting for your reaction since the episode came out. You are truly my favorite reactor to this series, and it has been a joy watching you enjoy this series and more since your last channel! Can’t wait for the rest of the season and to geek out with you!
PLEASE let Flim and Flam come back for one final performance! They haven't been reformed yet, or even properly defeated! They're perfect for the League!
Also, the Mortal Kombat character you were trying to reference with the masks is Kabal.
Except they are not really evil, despite what Applejack wants you to think. And this whole thing would screw them over too.
Season 9 finale prediction:
The Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer are caught in a binding spell.
Grogar: Now, with all seven of you captured, I can at last--
Trixie: Teacup!
Grogar:
Trixie I saving the day against one of the bigger villains would be awesome.
Discord is so awesome!
this is gonna be a good season
Did anyone else get a Lord Zed Vibe from Grogar . Well in that case call the girls from canterlot high It’s morphin time
It’s almost like discord was Tony Stark and Twilight was Peter Parker.
If your nothing without this suit then you shouldn’t have it.
Discord’s message translated: if your nothing without my magic then you shouldn’t have it.
Another reason Discord didn't get involved at all; The Tree of Harmony is the only thing that can stop him. Think about it. His power is now absolute. We're lucky he's on our side.
Yay, i couldn’t wait for this! I am sick, so i had time to rewatch your reactions from the past again in the last few days, your freak outs to Derpy’s return, CMCs getting their Cutie Marks, Cheese Sandwich (had to watch it 3 times), G4 Tirek and The Smooze made me feel better. I know that you watched G1, so i couldn’t wait to see your reaction to Grogar‘s return, and i was not disappointed.
Thanks for this awesome reaction, this made my day! /)
Glad you're back on DYWTBA. Although your LPS reactions caught my attention during the long period of no new MLP material, kinda wish you finished the former though. Anyway, MLP:FiM Season 9 is going to be quite a run!
Grogar may have saved you from the shadows Sombra but it wont happen again NEVER AGAIN! ( A bit of reference from Yugiuh)
Grogar, the 1st emperor of Equestria and the father of monsters, curious to see if the unition of Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns is why we have not seen him in a while.
I’m feeling even more sad and miserable now, I don’t know what I’ll do… 😭
Life is just uneasy now…
This was such a great premiere! :O
I really hope cozy becomes the next pony of shadows
They are forgetting that they actually lost to Chrysalis the second time and that it was Starlight and friends who stopped her. And they had nothing to do with Cozys defeat. And they didn't actually beat Chrysalis the first time(that was Cadence and SA) and they needed the Pillars and Starlight to beat the Pony of shadows. And it was the Crystal Heart that stopped Sombra the first time. And Starlight decided to stop on her own without any influence from the other 5. And they needed Tempest turning traitor to beat the Storm King.
Yeah. It really falls apart. When you try to say it was only the Mane 6 who stopped all the threats,.,
Do you have a time stamp Where they said it was only the mane 6 who stopped the threats?? I just remember them saying that they didn't need the princesses help to beat these guys.
They pretty much insinuated that it was only the 7 of them when they were talking about past threats.
Then again when Twilight said as long as we had the elements, we never failed. Again insinuating that it was only the seven of them.
Lot of this premier is just worded very badly.
Plus they pretty much enforced the idea that without the elements/deus ex macina, they would fail. Which kinda makes Discords speech about not needing it meaningless. You might not see them, but they are still there.
'You don't need the elements to beat sombra.' Then they promptly beat Sombra with the elements. Come on!
Hold on They said they have always won without the princesses help. And they aren't really talking about just themselves they are talking about themselves & their friends. Which of course would include Starlight & the student six.
1.) If Twilight hadn't rescued cadence Chrysalis would have won.
2.) Even though they needed the pillars & Starlight they still beat the pony of shadows.
3.) Spike got the crystal heart which saved the empire.
4.) Yes starlight stopped but only because was talked down by Twilight.
5.) Twilight used friendship as well as her beliefs to get Tempest to save them from being stone but the storm king literally turned on tempest.
Maybe if they actually included Starlight in those scenes, it wouldn't look like they are only referring to the 7 of them.
It comes off looking really badly written.
@@titanhades4331 The elements are a part of them right? So in that retrospect they dont need the "elements".
I hope that Harmony gets to interact with the Pillars at some point
It kind of looks like Harmony is dead.
@@titanhades4331 how are you on spoilers/season 9 trailers?
At least you didn't punch a hole in the wall...
I just learned about the Dark Triad and it hit me:
• Sombra is Narcissism;
- his self centered ness and over the top ego
- his tantrum at being bested again
- his own ego getting in the way of his victory
• Cozy Glow and Queen Chrysalis are machiavellians.
- long period planning and patience
- manipulation and exploitation of anyone, even those with close relations.
- continued planning after a defeat
Tirek is psychopathy.
- spontaneous attack
- thought short term goals and manipulation
- no planning after defeat; just took an opportunity once it was brought.
I wonder how this will all work out with Grogar.
"dispelled him into the ether" is a wonderfully Rarity way to say "he fucking exploded"
I am really looking forward to the Fearsome Four: Grogar was the perfect villain to bring the rest of them together. He not only was a Gen 1 villain, but also got some history and he is intimidating. I also believe, that they will get his bell back, since they mentioned it, perhaps in one of the episodes, what would make him even more impressive.
So is the sentient tree of harmony dead now???
Cozy glows aim is actually clear to me now after this episode..... they defeated sombra without the elements of harmony.... but before this I thought cozy has a misconception on how friendship works...I thought cozy had a bad plan on becoming empress because how could she defeat Celestia, manipulate her to death. But after this episode Friendship is Magic/power as cozy glows puts it
Also, is nobody going to say anything about " for our friends, for our family, for our home, for equestria" ....is that their new line now
Also, I'm surprised you didn't get spoiled on grogar...this was spoiled to me way before s8...
Edit:
The line from starswirl doesn't makes sense, the elements were already being used when discord was being turned to stone the same time that discord planted the seeds. Starswirl wasn't keeping the forest under control before the tree did because the forest isn't out of control to begin with.
What if the league of villain created a tree of disharmony....hmmmmm...it corrupts everypony, starting with Celestia...I know grogar is a good villain but we started out with nightmare moon, wouldn't it be fitting if we ended with Celestia ..although I know this wouldn't happen..just my thought to put out..that would be cool..too bad there wouldn't be a season 10
"Fuck yo tree!"
- Tirek, 2014.
"Fuck yo crystal tree!"
- Sombra, 2019.
i can’t believe you’ve done this
the intro made me spill my cereal
That intro was funny. XD
Calling it right now the bell on the tip of starswirl's hat is Grogar's bell and it's gonna be like SVTFOE with Toffee and his finger (Also you deserve much love for the Code Lyoko mention)
(36:30) Oh. Discord pulled a Loki with that self-sacrifice act.
MEANWHILE, AT THE LEGION OF DOOM
Ah, I was hoping I wouldn't need to wait long to see your reaction the Ram and everything else. :D
Kneel before -Zod!- Sombra!
You are the only reaction channel that remembers who “Grogar” is. This brings back childhood memories for me being an 80’s baby. I grew up and remember that particular mini-arc from MLP G1. “Tierek” was a nice touch for the Season 4 Finale, & now Grogar showing up for the Season 9 Premiere was a delightful to see because I was not expecting the writers to go that far back into MLP villains rogues gallery.
Can’t wait to see your reaction to S9 Episode 3. Keep up the good work 👏👍😁👍❤️🇺🇸🎉!
AppleGeek recognized him.
towards the side he made a note saying how he was a Gen1 villain.
same with LuffyIsCool.
RarityDash flat out said he was from gen 1 if i recall correctly.
*Discord gets hit*
"I'm sorry, what?"
*Ad ques*
Isnt Hasbro going to claim this video? I mean other reaction channels do change stuff in their vids for example speed up a entire episode
Considering this is the first video of yours that I've seen i apologies tremendously
You reactions were pretty much EXACTLY like mine.
Consider me now and forever more a subscriber viewer and loyal follower of your UA-cam.
40:00 Nice Code Lyoko reference.
The only FiM versions of MLP villains that HAVEN'T been shown are pony versions of Hidea and her daughters (the witches from the Volcano of Gloom)
Nope, just the smooze.
big mac sure gets put under a LOT of mind-altering/controlling spells for a simple farm worker. poor dude did not sign up for all this shit. can we get him a therapist at least
01:56 Have you seen your eye doctor recently, Luna? ;J
02:12 So what is it that you two do, exactly? :q
03:03 This is not just regular doubt. This is ADCANCED doubt :J
04:22 Ignorance is bliss, I guess? ;J
05:42 And Twilight is like: "DO I LOOK LIKE I HAD?!!!" :D
06:25 Just don't inhale the water, please :J
07:10 Hahah I knew you will like this moment ;D Glad you noticed it, because you almost missed it ;)
09:09 Considering there's a giant eye of Arimaspi glowing in the background, I think you should have known it at this moment already ;>
10:05 Well, her and her friends being the strongest protectors of Equestria for the past 8 seasons, I guess it's painfully obvious? :q
11:05 It gets worse :q It gets FABULOUS :q
12:20 It's kinda ironic that the best summary of the Mane Six comes from the mouth of a villain. But it's also very fitting. Who else would know their strongest points? (But I'm afraid that if he can know that, he can also know their biggest weaknesses :q ) And it's kinda ironic too, that the only way for the villains to catch up, is to implement Friendship themselves :J But as they're doing it, they're digging their own grave at the same time ;> Because using the Magic of Friendship will affect them from their inside for sure, turning them good in the process, which means that redemption seems to be the only possible outcome :J
13:35 Insert "Watch out, we have an expert here" Neil DeGrasse-Tyson meme here :q
16:45 Blitzkrieg :q
22:00 Yeeesss ;>
24:15 Something that Chrissie failed to do in "The Mean Six" ;>
25:45 Because he's a sadist ;> He want to taunt them with their biggest fears for a while before finishing with them ]:->
26:26 Forget Scootaloo. This is perhaps the first moment any PONY cared for Spike and mentioned him in such situation. And it's kinda interesting that pony was Rainbow Dash and not Twilight. Could it be that they got a bit closer since that trip to the Dragon Lands they both had together in S7 finale? Rainbow Dash showed that she cares for Spike quite a bit in that scene too.
26:32 I hope that was mud :J
28:38 Well, bringing your greatest fears upon you is kinda what Sombra does, isn't it? ;J
29:29 "You have my axe" - Rainbow Dash ;)
30:03 No no no, this is called "retirement" ;) BTW it's funny how Celestia's throne is slightly bigger than Luna's ;J The sisterhood rivalry will never end... :q
30:50 That's what I call a good distraction :q
36:25 You never reveal who you care about the most to a clever villain :q
36:29 You didn't see THIS coming, did you? ;>
40:04 Which only shows that THEY are the Elements indeed ;J
42:32 Yeah, I would say I'm happy to hear that, and that maybe now you'll do that more often, if the show wouldn't be coming to and end soon :q
Is it me or does Grogar sound like Master Xehanort?
I’m sorry, but this is just what my mind heard when Cozy was talking at the end:
“Now I’ll say something nice about Russians. Tirek, you say something nice about Latinos. And Chrysalis, you say something nice about white people.”
Chrysalis: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!
The only real loser here is Sombra. Grogar used him as an example to to make a point about working together. Discord used him as a test dummy to make sure Twilight can handle villains if he is not around. Sombra was just killed 2 more times with only a bit of character development which portray him as flamnboyant generic Bond villain.
As apposed to when he was just a generic dark lord villian?
We still didn't get to learn a thing about him. His character needed a lot more attention than it ever got.
FusionOmni You should probably read the mlp comics
Legion of doom was born...then some idiot decided that four is better than five
DISCORD, YOU MADE ME THINK YOU WERE DEAD!!!!!
Sombra was alot cooler in his first appearance but now he acts like a spoiled rich pony.
Which kinda goes well with his bloated ego, I must admit.
I love the intro and the mlp reaction is awesome👍
The GOAT is here!
All hail the big goat \m/
Um sometimes visions dont come to life sometimes so dont judge sombras voice
Well. This kind of destroys the idea that the Young 6 will inherit the elements, since they are destroyed and the Main 6 being the physical embodiment of them now.
Not really. I mean it's all magic based so it can probably be transfer in someway.
Lmao u haven't seen the promos and trailers huh
Except that would make this whole situation utterly pointless if they transferred it.
@titan hades: The Elements (as in the gemstones) are just "transducers". The real Elements are the Mane Six themselves. Let's not forget about that anymore, ok?
And in the same way, the Pilars of Equestria were the six legendary ponies, not just some random items that belong to them.
There's another analogy: the magic keys that opened the Harmony Box. They were just random items as well, but it is what those items _represented_ that makes them to be the keys.
So, by analogy, I'm pretty sure they'll find some way to make the Mixed Six / Student Six or whatever people call them now to be the new Elements, or some new... _generation_ of them? :q (I tried as hard as I could to avoid this particular word, because I don't want to jinx it with G5 ;q )
@@shadowx8145 Is that something one should be ashamed of? :q I would rather say it's a _blessing_ because it allows one to watch the show spoilers-free and be amazed.
Man, haven't seen Grogar since generation one.
black licorice cake? Della gets triggered
I liked you're reaction !!!
^Your. Otherwise it means that he _is_ the reaction ;)
Nice reaction
Grogar was also a Necromancer. Came from Caperon's reaction to watch yours too DYWTBA. Now all we need is Applegeek's reaction man.
Also... I LOVED WHAT THEY DID WITH SOMBRA HERE! LONG LIVE THE KING!!!
So seven years after Sombra's defeat, he is brought back by Grogar. He wanted to use Sombra in his plans, but Sombra was greedy so he decided to betray Grogar. Like when Charmcaster betrayed Hex in Ben 10.
Speaking of which I'm sure Fluttershy wouldn't last a minute on planet Anur Transyl. Neither would the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Snips and Snails would pee themselves. If there's going to be a Nightmare Night episode, the ponies could decorate Ponyville to make it look similar to Anur Transyl and they could dress up as Loboans (alien werewolfs), Transylians (alien Frankenstein's monsters), Thep Khufans (alien mummys) and Ectonurites (alien phantoms). I bet the student six would love to give that a try. Although Fluttershy said she dosen't wants to be part of Nightmare Night but it would be good if she could gather up her courage and join her friends by dressing up as a Thep Khufan or an Ectonurite.
Also there was a crossover movie about Ben 10 and Generator Rex a few years ago. I was thinking, how about a crossover with Ben 10 and Megas XLR? Ben could use Upgrade to merge with Megas to make it a lot cooler, maybe transform it into battle vehicles like a Transformer. Ben could also use Grey Matter to fix Megas's time machine and Kiva would be happy about it. And if the Glorft find out about that, the epic battle would begin. With the help of Ben, Coop, Jamie and Kiva will finally be able to defeat the Glorft once and for all.
And I agree that the old Ben 10 series was much better, and Megas XLR needs a revival.
It's too bad that the Elements of Harmony are destroyed, but on the bright side now the villains won't be able to use them. But now that the elements are no more, it could be possible that some day the HuMane sevens geodes are going to be destroyed as well? I don't know but the writers should make a Halloween Equestria Girls movie. According to the medieval belief magic is on it's greatest power on Halloween, so that could effect the leaking magic from the portal and the girls geodes.
I'm sure we haven't seen the last of the villains. Grogar might find a way to get his bell back, but at the ending Tirek, Cozy and Chrysalis looked scared of him. Maybe they'll turn against him? It could happen, like when Ren Krawler turned against emperor Barodius in Bakugan: Gundalian Invaders. We'll have to wait and see.
So do these episodes put Sombra higher on your villain list
i have the same shirt lol
Hun yami are you king sombra
Is this synched properly?
Yeah
The video kinda glitched out at some point in episode one. And i didn't notice. However episode 2 was fine.
Nice op
Just wondering if you were still doing scooterix reactions been a while since your last one
The reason way things like react week were put on hold was because i was to busy trying to get a Job in the industry of animation. Since now that i got an internship over at rooster teeth i would like to say things will come back. But it's also possible my schedule will be even more pact now that I'm working on there products.
@@Universal_Fro oh ok and nice job on getting the internship
:D
Yea I absolutely hated Sombra's voice in this one. It was such a let down. Love the addition of Grogar tho. This season is gonna be lit.
Writers Wrote Themselves In Hole When Sombra Could Have Killed The Mane 6 Easily!
