Since these come out on the 1st every month, I'd also like to spread awareness for The Top 10 Pony Videos which has voting take place the first week of every month! I run the series so don't vote for Cinemare Sins, but if you could take a moment to vote for some of your favorite pony videos from last month it would be immensely helpful! Check out the website for details: www.thetop10ponyvideos.com/
Speaking of which, why do your Cinemare Sins videos come out on the 1st of every month? By my calculations, it would take about 8 years for Cinemare Sins to finish.
@Lady Maria Hmm, that is a good explanation. I kinda wanna hear from Littleshy himself to make it official, though,
@@robbys5236 Yeah it's official lol. The only way I could commit to doing these videos long-term is by giving myself enough time to avoid burnout.
It is too bad because this deserves it.😕
@@LittleshyFiM hi
*"Spike, did you put your name in the Gauntlet Of Fire?"* Twilight asked calmly.
NICE HARRY POTTER REFERENCE!
I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO SAW THE SIMILARITIES
HaRrY pOtTeR iS aWeSoMe
@Dulce Maria Garcia de la Mora My friend, I can most assure you that I am not intellectual in the slightest; it takes me about a few months to come up with one (1) decent joke.
Twilight asked calmly while beating him to death and hitting him on the wall
If one of the dragons had half of a brain, they would’ve just flew up to where the Dragon Lord threw it.
The race was obviously for plot convenience so that Spike, the only wingless dragon on Earth at the time, could have a "chance".
Realistically, The DragonLord should have had them all just fight him for it to see which was the most worthy.
Or, to give Spike a more magical chance: jam the scepter into the ground and pull a "sword in the stone"/Mjölnir on them.
But then the episode would have been over in two minutes.
@@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639 So true like he said, Twilight is supposed to be a bookhorse with at least half of a brain, but she had to let Spike nearly get killed for the staff KNOWING she could just teleport it to him but she didn’t because the plot demands it.
@@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639 in equestria*
@@raptorzeraora2632 Are you suggesting they're not from Earth? Admittedly it'd be cool if they were aliens, but I doubt that's the case.
@btamamura Spike's happiness wasn't what was at stake though. He entered the contest because other dragons were talking about burning and pillaging Equestria, seeing the ponies driven before them and hearing the lamentation of their mares. Given those sorts of stakes, it's reasonable that he'd want to do anything to prevent that from happening, rather than being sad because he didn't "earn" it.
0:40 Disappointed he didn't say "Sure, make the white pony a racist."
Ah, I can see you are a true fan of CinemareSins
@@leighilynn Yes indeedy.
@@leighilynnhello, fellow crk player
Petition to make every month only 28 days so we get Cinemare Sins more often. 👀
Why stop there, why not make it 14 days or 7?

I can't get over the fact that Twilight did not try to help Rarity at all.I understand that it was Spike's moment to shine, but look at her!She isn't even phased that Rarity is about to plunge into lava!
Fr. Girl, the only dragons around already knew you were there, just teleport Rarity back to the surface or use telekinesis or something. Same thing happened in The Moltdown, she could've easily used magic to save Zecora but I guess we needed a Spike moment
That's kind of the problem with shows where everyone has so much talent that you have to dumb them down so the focus character of the week can have their moment to shine. Same thing happened with the Maud episode. Twilight could have teleported over and blasted the rock about to fall on Pinkie, but then Maud wouldn't have looked so cool.

You may be asking "How did you post this comment days ago when the video was just published today?" You see, every month Littleshy throws a sin into a mountain atop a bunch of crystals; and if you win the race to find and capture that sin, you get early access to the video!
If their was a slow clap emoji I would use it
Please make this an ongoing thing depending on the episode. I really like this one.
Cool
As a lifeguard I can confirm the public service announcement makes up a good 75% of my basic training.
It turned out that Ember never actually had her eyes on the Dragon Lord prize since she left them inside her helmet when she removed said helmet.
"Is anyone else thinking of forgiving Garble? Me neither."
Lucky for you, you won't have to review that episode for eight years.
Update: I realized that my math was how long you have until The Last Problem. For how long you have until Sweet and Smoky, that's six years.
So, Littleshy may be finishing up g4 about the time g5 is ending.
@@Narrator007 If he only does these monthly, yes.
Geez... Imma be 24 by that time lol
@@MooseShower yeah, me toooㅠㅠ
Wow I’m gonna be 16 by then
You forgot a sin
Twilight is always using magic on ponies stoping them and moving them but when Rarity is inches away from falling into lava she stares and watches
*DING!*
“Maybe Equestria deserves to be taken over.”
Eh...while I wouldn’t advocate having ponies suffer, when you realize that the dragons may be the only other intelligent species that haven’t seriously suffered, in most cases thanks to the Storm King, you wonder why outsiders don’t form a serious resentment for ponies and their perfect paradise.
Yeah, but kinda hard to move against a nation whose leaders literally control the sun and moon. Sombra did it because presumably he would have mind controlled at least one of them to keep doing it, and the Storm King had a way of taking their powers for himself.
I wonder if why the Storm King avoided the dragons is due to how their fire bypasses their anti-magic armor's protection as shown with how Spike's fire decimated a bunch of guards with ease.
And their flammable fur seems to make them even more weak to fire from dragons.
@@nightshroud9671 besides that, the dragons have no central government beyond the dragon lord, so conquering them would be a pain, and that's besides the older ones like Torch being big enough to wreck his air fleet all by themselves if he pissed them off. He probably avoided the dragons because he's not a complete moron.
Honestly, with that logic, wouldn’t Equestria be even more vulnerable because with Celestia and Luna, you had TWO leaders you absolutely had to capture to make sure day and night kept moving. With Twilight, there’s only one.
@@justin2308 Actually either sister is capable of moving either the Sun and Moon.
Celestia somehow done so for the moon while Luna was stuck up there for a 1000 years.
Meaning Luna is capable of doing so too for the sun with enough practice.
Logically, why is Spike the only baby dragon called to participate? I feel like the dragon lord would only call biologically mature dragons to fight for future rule to make it fair and prevent the kingdoms children from being unnecessarily injured.
Maybe him being able to do a bit of magic (you-got-mail firebreath) was the reason why?
I Almost forgot until this came up in my notifications.
Yea, me too
@q.q forgot about Cinemare sins existence
@@SpairM lol
What kind of name is "Flame-cano?" Just call it a volcano like everyone else, show! That name alone takes all that tension and burns it.
Considering the island it's on is called Flame-cano Island, the Flame-cano is obviously that specific volcano. Not sure why that's the name, but just pointing out that it's not a word being used in place of volcano.
I was going to say "copyright" but Im pretty sure volcanoes arent copyrighted

This is one of my all time favorite Spike episodes on a scale of 1 to 10 i give this episode a 7, especially since it's the introduction episode of Princess/Dragon Lord Ember and of course it was also satisfying to see Garble be defeated by Spike yet again!!!
And we all know Ember as perfect scalie material!
"This is what happened when Spike became the Dragon Lord...This is what happened when Ember became the Dragon Lord."
....huh. interesting.
It is really easy to explain:
The scepter "discharges" an ammount of Elemental_Fire magic that is proportional to the "attunement" it had with the previous Dragon Lord (to make "space" for the new link).
-> Dragon Lord Torch is HUGE (in fact, almost "Colossal"); while Spike is barely on the "Medium" size category [as per D&D/O&O rules]; so the ammount of energy released is actually quite accurate.
@@adolfodef ohhh...huh interesting. That actually makes sense.
This is your brain.
This is your brain on drugs.
@@adolfodef ...Good fan explanation. (I doubt they actually thought that much about it, personally.)
Another fan explanation I've seen is that the Scepter was a hold-over from when more dragons used magic like Spike does. Also, magic-attuned dragons don't grow quite as massive.
Not only does the scepter LOOK like a D&D/O&O wizard staff, it looks far, far too small for the "big, strong dragon" qualifications. And the dragon that got the biggest reaction from the staff? The ONLY dragon in the show that has been shown to do magic other than basic flame attacks.
(Not to mention that Spike almost certainly learned that magic from Celestia, one of the oldest beings in the show, and likely older than Torch. Twilight doesn't even know how to send mail to Spike, only Celestia does. Or at least she has never been shown to.)
Everything just screams to me "advanced civilization that has been in decline for centuries." Everything seems barren and not even organized enough to be a *tribe,* but then we get strange, advanced tidbits like Ember's ceremonial-looking armor, the geas that forces dragons to obey the Dragon Lord powered by the scepter, and obviously, the scepter itself. Even the existence of a Dragon Lord in the first place means that somebody must have conquered the dragons to rule them, which is kinda hard if they are as spread out across everywhere as is implied in the current day.
@@allenholloway5109 The writers are pantsers
6:19 I remember being so hyped for seeing Spike transformed after hearing that change in his voice and being quite disappointed
Dude, UA-cam finally recommended me your channel again after years. I used to watch this series all the time back in the early MLP:FIM days. Loved your work and still do. I'm getting back into the fandom after years and I have a lot to catch up on apparently, love to see your videos again
Welcome back!
Omg same
Thinking back on it, yeah, Spike is just genuinely a great guy like 90% of the show, but is ignored by the spotlight unless something supremely idiotic is already taking place and finds a way to pull him into the idiocy
With the exception of the Chrystal empire that considers him a major hero
@@andrewgreeb916 Well, it's been a while since I've talked about MLP lore.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
The crystal empire call him a hero, but only because he happened to be in the right place when Twilight realized _her_ "test" was to not try to do everything herself. He was, just as he always seems to be, a hero of happenstance. His proximity to Twi always seems to be more important than anything specific to Spike as a character.
Loved it! This is one of the few episodes where even I spotted some of the sins when I watched it, especially the small-talking.
Wtf 6 days ago
@@melee_abuse Yup, Patreon members get early access. ^^
Oh
I admire your conviction to make these videos, despite the years going on... you keep going back to reach em still. You goddamn Spartan Legend of MLP
It took me this long to realize.
Garble is Bakugo in a dragon's body
Except not well written, or funny, or smart, or interesting in any way.
I- you're totally right tho and I don't know how to feel about it
@@undrcovrmallard1463 bakugo is not well written
@@newdawnhorizon9879 He's written better than Garble, that's for sure.
@@undrcovrmallard1463 they're both terribly written
Littleshy: Garble discovers 2 unicorns accompanying Spike
Twilight: *literally an alicorn*
Spike lifting objects several times his own size and weight throughout the series.
"No problemo"
Spike saving an armored ember from drowning.
"I woke!"
I think you underestimate how difficult it is to swim with a body. I can lift my own weight in an emergency, but water makes things so, so much worse. And if they are still conscious, it is very likely that they will flail, making things even worse.
Add the fact that she is larger than Spike, and wearing PLATE ARMOR, which weighs about 40-50kg (literally 100 pounds), he's not going to be able to do that.
Plus, it's not even the weight, but bulkiness.
@@allenholloway5109 I know it's difficult, but let's be honest here, Spike is either able to lift a mountain of rocks, or incapable to hold up a book. Depends on how much comedy the writers need from him at the time.
And in this episode, spike's strength and skill were the important bits for the writers. Even before getting to the ember drowning part, he already did something outstanding: jumping to the water from the cliff and swim with ease to the gauntlet.
@@joseespinoza2615 I totally agree. This was very much a "writers need him to do this" moment.
But what I was really trying to get at is that this sort of thing is not a "strength feat" moment. Due to Spike's size and shape, it's almost impossible no matter how strong he is in general, and I think Littleshy was trying to get that across rather than say "Spike is weak, he could never do that."
It's toon physics, and in a cartoon, sometimes that's fine if the plot needs it.
(I do think that it could have been done better, personally, but that's neither here nor there. I liked the episode in general, even though I modify it heavily if I ever need to write fanfiction surrounding the events.)
0:27 Maybe unicorn magic is only luminescent to its user unless it’s something others are meant to see. To Rarity, it seems like the brightest thing imaginable, but to other unicorns, it must seem barely noticeable while other ponies can’t see it at all.
5:15 also, Rarity was hardly in danger. Twilight could easily teleport her back up to safety or catch her in her magic... but didn't. Um...
LittleshyFiM sins: call twilight and rarity 2 unicorns twice when twilight is an alicorn (no hate though)
LittleShyFim just still lives in season 2
She still has unicorn properties and is easier to say ig
@@miakiikazu for a channel nitpicking little details I don’t think that would excuse it.
@@Zoroark_Master true
6:48
HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE
3:03 I can't believe you didn't sin the fact that Twilight got pissed at Spike for trying to save a drowning dragon. That would make Twilight racist.
I dunno how I was able to keep it in my memory that the previous Dragon Lord's name is Torch, but this video proved me right!
The gauntlet of fire is kind of like the Goblet of fire in Harry Potter and becoming dragon lord is like becoming the triwizard tournament winner
6:35 Which is a bad thing how this is how Ember is able to change the dragons.
By FORCING changing onto them. Such as initially Smolder was forced to go to the school.
There should be some sort of plot where many dragons rebel when they believe their way of life is being threatened by Ember making these changes. Like some ancient law lets them to disobey her if they firmly believe she is essentially "corrupting" their kind with the ponies stuff.
As usual, you brought up some good point while keeping funny. Great video!

Woah for once UA-cam isn’t drunk when writing the likes and views
Nope. It is. Because apparently, your likes are in 17th place.
When a parody series about nitpicking a show for little girls is better than the actual Cinema Sins.
Ooh...be careful...you don't want to summon TVSins to sin MLP.
It doesn't take much
Ngl it’s true
''Spike got it because of the dumbest of luck''
''Ember got it because of the luckiest of dumb''
took me a good minute to register that 😂
3:02
Welcome to the magic of plot convenience mi amigo.
2:25
This scene can’t be that funny I can’t even-
2:14 I HAVE LITERALLY READ A FANFIC INVOLVING THIS IDEA
You won’t die saving an unconscious person. The drowning people are dangerous while drowning when they try to climb on top of you because they can’t think rationally. Weight in water is also not the same as in land and bodies then to float when unconscious, not sink. Spike just needed to take of her armor.
I mean, Garble wasn't there when power was given to Ember, so we can kinda let that one go.
Me: *chuckles throughout the whole video*
Ending gag: *Completely unrelated Stock video*
Me: *WHEEZING*
2:39 marshmallow 😂
Inb4 someone starts a "Drag Perfect" channel dedicated to Torch trick shots.
"Completely unrelated stock footage," he says! lol
I love how for the final sin, you threw the scepter in Crackle's mouth like a blunt
Garble: "Dragons don't do friends!"
Me: "Then explain those other dragons you hang out with?"
Torch said the Bloodstone Scepter has to be retrieved. He didn't say 'find'. The instructions were plenty clear, the contest is over when the scepter is presented to Torch.
Which means all dragons are braindead, because otherwise all of them would wait at the entrance of the volcano, ready to pounce whoever actually found it.
And it's only racist when rarity talks like that, but neeever when the dragons do, of course...
Garble*
Wait, I just noticed that...
@@justin2308 oh I'm so glad I'm not alone~
Okay but the idea of Spike not being able to carry Ember in armour back up to the surface... Isn't this the same Spike that spent his life carrying ridiculously huge amounts of books or luggage for Twilight and Rarity? The show itself supports the idea that Spike is just ridiculously strong for his size or that dragons are naturally really strong like earth ponies. But I also doubt that Ember, who is noticeably smaller and thinner than the other dragons, would weight even that much and the armour has to be light enough for her to be able to wear and fly while wearing so...
3:01 i think spike usually carry random stuff and usually helps his friends- like carrying 100 books or idk, more
Plot Twist: Spike is still the dragon lord but Amber was pointed as his regent and that is why all other dragons have to obey Amber but Spike don't. Also explain why Spike's command was still in effect.
First of all, her name is EMBER, and Secondly, the command was still in effect because Ember didn’t tell him.
You said “Garble discovers two *unicorns*. It’s Garble discovers a unicorn and an alicorn
isn't spike a child? this seems like unfair odds if we're to assume he's competing against adult dragons
I always look forward to this every month
It’s so nice to see content continue when the show ended
Edit you can also do cinemare wins when you do everything if you want to just saying
Let's not forget that other dragons CAN defy the Dragon Lord/euserp their power, as seen in Smolder's Harthswarming Eve tale.
*Thank you so very much for the Upload!*
6:34 - It's hard to believe that dragons like Gargle, who have holes and tears in their wings could still fly properly.
The fact that Twilight was cornered at the edge of the ravine by Garble although she was able to fly, shoot magical lasers or cast spells should also be a sin.
Something in my head that the outro music was from DOOM 1
Sound like "How to train your dragon" Soundtrack to me

First time seeing your video . It's so cool Littleshy
Harry Potter and the Gauntlet of Fire.
That's literally all i thought when I saw the title.
“That’s racist” one of littleshyFiM’s favorite words to use in this series
I forgot about this channel
Thanks for posting 🙏
theory: spike is a powerful dragon.
1) stronger then garble (moves boulder off him)
2) able to save an armored ember from drowning (by carrying her up out of the water with strength alone)
3) in that one episode when the equestrian games were on going, spike used his fire breath to destroy a giant ice cloud thing that was going to fall onto a stadium
4) spike is able to magically send letters. something only he is seen doing.
im sure if someone were to look at all the times spike did something, and other dragons did something, they would notice a slight trend like this, but i dont know for sure.
Ehh, spike just has super strength

Omg I havent been in the mlp fandom since I was in the beginning of highschool. Almost ending my degree in uni now. Crazy I use to binge watch your videos
When I first watched this I thought the title was Goblet of Fire and was super hyped for it
"Completely unrelated stock footage" ahaha XD
You: ThAt’S rAcIsT.
Me: You echo half the internet in 2020
Fun fact: there is a demonic titan gate in the flame Kano but it was closed by spike using the staff so add 2 sins as well
3:31 you can crack wise and have fun, but do not dare disrespect Spike in such a manner.
*spike episode*
I know it's probably free music, but is anyone gonna talk about how, at 7:49, he played Ryan George's outro? It also seemed super easy to get that stock footage, like barely an inconvenience. (that sounded better in my head)
anyone who watches pitch meetings will get the joke
IT IS RYAN'S !
Jeez. I know calling “racist” might be the joke, but ponies are unironically racist all the time. If it doesn’t always walk on four legs, or even if it does but it looks icky, it’s evil.
Yeah the Canterlot Wedding wasn't our fault, Celestia.😥
Purple and Marshmallow. THE BEST NEW NAMES FOR THEM!!XD
I have no outlet for my rage, but in the final battle episode of season 9, they forgot Ocellus when highlighting the other creatures who were taught friendship. I'll always be salty
Ocellus was probably one of the changelings distracting Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow.
@@King_Of_Arkham626 but, in the very next shot she was there with her group of friends shooting a rainbow. So it was probably just an error, but a pretty big one for the finale
@@King_Of_Arkham626 although I think it would be cute that she was helping with the other changelings, but she was with her friends in the unicorns shield in all other shots
Took me a minute to realize what the stock footage at 7:49 may have been about.
Because Rarity is called a marshmallow? Maybe?
This has only 1 dislike. I am early for some reason
3:00 I actually did that in a DnD campaign, except I was in heavy armor as well. Definitely helped that my character had a 20 in strength and a +11 to athletics. But it just made me laugh at the parallel
have fun
Lmao, the ending 🤣
I love this
I love these videos

3:43 doesnt this contradict your previous sin about spike not being able to save ember from drowning?
Nah, saving a person from drowning has nothing to do with strength as mentioned in the PSA 🙂
Ah, a Spike episode. *Ding!*
