This episode was truly epic. I wonder if we'll see more of Starswirl and the others now that they're back. Interesting times ahead. This is it, the end of season 7! Hope you all enjoyed our videos, we'll be back with more commentaries of fan content and the new Equestria Girls shorts in the near future. (Oh, and let's not forget about the Equestria Girls Specials; we'll probably be releasing the rest of those next.)
PonyWatch interesting fact, Josh Haber wrote S4 E3 Castle Mania where the Pony of Shadows was first mentioned. He then directed and wrote these Pillar eps in Season 7. He tied everything together.
Is it sad that I kept waiting for you guys to come back, even though the show is over now. Finale happened and you guys never returned...RIP, you have been missed.
Headcanon: the "Pony of Shadows" ghost that haunts the Castle of the Two Sisters (seen in Castle Mane-ia) is a residual image of the first battle between Stygian and the Pilars. Just like how the banishing spell left an image at Ponehenge. The myth from Season 4 says it is left over Nightmare Moon magic, but that is simply a misconception ponies have because the truth of what happened was lost to time.
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this! When the finale aired, I was expecting to see Chrysalis again. However, I was completely thrown off over what the real plot was about and that is one of the reasons why this finale is my favorite. The second reason is that not only the previously mentioned legendary ponies are part of the plot but, Star Swirl...has officially made his series debut(which was on my S7 wishlist)! Third reason, we finally got a glimpse into the distant past of when Star Swirl, with the aid of the pillars saved Equestria from the Sirens; further proof that Equestria Girls is canon. Final reason, the Pony of Shadows was brought back to life by Josh Haber(writer of “Castle Mane-ia”) after being dismissed as a one shot deal. I must say that his design was pretty awesome and I like the thought that it represents a symbiote, kinda like Marvel’s Venom. Great reaction guys, this was fun!
Shadows will always come as long as there is always light. They never banish it completely (it will never will) bet you that thing will come back and will posses again. I hope it will be the royal sisters turning them into nightmaremoon and daybreaker perhaps
As always ponywatch thanks for the journey se you in season 8 the finale among finale season. The strength of honesty The beauty of generosity The healing of kindness The bravery of loyalty The hope of laughter and The socery of magic. Its really complements each other isn't it.
Popping by for one last comment before school starts again. Hope you all are ok and not in any life troubles. Missing the eps and would be fine if one of you were missing for an ep or if it was just one reactor. Everyone understands when life calls. Will await either another episode or a goodbye video to end the channel.
PonyWatch: Haven't heard from you guys for quite a while, either from MLP FIM reactions or your Gravity Falls reactions on your other channel, I understand perfectly well that real life gets in the way, and that I believe you reacted to the pony movie and it got blocked, but I hope that you continue your reactions sometime soon, I really miss your MLP FIM and Gravity Falls reactions.
Yeah I do too, And I also understand real life get's in the way sometimes, but we don't know if they're working or not. They could be having fun with their friends. I mean I want them to react to mlp season 8 and more other cartoons, But it's there choice, and this is way they so far behind in things like this. I'm not putting them out. I just...want them to it seriously that's all. And they think this channel it just a hobby, but that doesn't mean they should neglected their channel. I just wish they would take more seriously. and I get you too.
Aawwww I wish you guys came back rlly miss you and haven't heard from you in for ever I know you guys probs have work but I miss your reactions and alot of ppl want you back consider it
00:14 Oh yeah :> Here we go ;> That's the spirit ;) I'm glad that you have no clue what's gonna happen in this finale :> 04:50 You have no idea how deep the rabbit hole is ;> The episode from season 4 you're talking about ("Castle Mane-ia"), where the Pony of Shadows was first mentioned, was also the first episode written by Josh Haber. The first of the legendary ponies, Mage Meadowbrook, was mentioned in season 5's premiere. Then several other legendary ponies has been mentioned in season 6's premiere (part 2) by Sunburst, a couple of minutes in, when Starlight wonders if there is any spell that could make them friends again, and Sunburst mentions a couple of them, spelling out several names of the legendary ponies ;> And who wrote that premiere? Josh Haber again! :J So yeah, looks like he planned it for a long time ;) 05:27 Wrong pony :J 05:30 "ORA LEGE RELEGE LABORA ET INVENIES" ;> Alchemy is strong in this one ;J 07:38 That easter egg was brilliant! It's written in Elder Futhark runic alphabet, and when you transcribe it, it says: "PONI RULES" :D 11:40 "Sorry that the model is not to scale, and I didn't have time to paint it." :q 15:08 Indiana Pones :J 15:56 I'm pretty sure this is not how pruning works :q Fun fact: a couple of months ago I had a dream in which I met Rarity working in a garden like this one and making it beautiful :J Could it be some stray signal from the noosphere about this finale? :q 20:50 Oh, don't worry! To a Human it might seem like some radioactive waste or a mutagen, but actually it's just liquified glowpaz ;J (Though when I first saw it, I got fooled too: I thought it's the Smooze :q ) 27:07 You're sure about that? ;J In order for somepony to be dead, he had to be alive to begin with ;q OK, time for part 2...
34:08 Yeah... but it would have definitely helped you in the movie :P 43:42 Interestingly, the same magic effect for the shield has been used by Starlight Glimmer in season 5 premiere. Coincidence? ;> 47:04 When a spacetime rift this big collapses, it releases a lot of electromagnetic energy of many frequencies, some of them from the visible range ;) Technically called the "Taste The Rainbow, Motherfucker!" effect ;) 50:00 Yup, it was definitely great :> And it's quite ironic that this finale has got 10 times better script than the MLP Movie which was supposed to be The Next Big Thing™ :P
So you guys are still around. But you do know that practically season 8 is almost over and you still haven't reacted to them yet. And by all means your going to take a long time recording them and then editing, and then publishing. Andrew you and your sibs have to take this more seriously if you want to react to more cartoons, you have to at least care (I'm not saying you don't) but actions speak louder than words. Even though real life gets in the way, you guys have to figure something out about that, cause it's getting way out of control. I'm mean this is way you can't do you anime watch channel, Because of stuff like this. (sigh) Andy I just want to help you, to get these recordings done, and take this...well a little bit more seriously, that's all.
Yes it is. The others rank as follows: 2. To Where and Back Again 3. Cutie Re-Mark 4. Twilight's Kingdom 5. Canterlot Wedding 6. Magical Mystery Cure 7. Best Night Ever
While I agree that seeing episodes for finding each artifact would've been cool, the problem of doing so is making five stories out of them. The key episodes worked because they were stories about unrelated stuff that forshadowed something to come that became clearer in hindsight. Building episodes around the artifacts means they are being searched, and for the search to mean anything to the characters, time has to pass in-universe. But the most time passes in-universe between them deciding to find the artifacts and using them to release the legends, the less believable it is that NOBODY would've realized the glaring issue of their plans also releasing the Pony of Shadows. The story as it stands only works because one pony (Twilight) was pushing the plan and nobody stopped to consider the issues with their plan (save for Starlight having personal problems with the plan over her own mistakes with messing with Starswirl's magic, rather than fearing the Pony of Shadows returing). Plenty of fans had troubles with this blindness as it was, now imagine that glaring mistake not being adressed over five consecutive episodes, or even worse the whole season. You would need to heavily rerwite everything so that the Pony of Shadows was an unknown factor until the last moment. So the opening story would've needed to be super vague, and the journal not said anything about the nature of the threat they faced or why they vanished, only that they did. The tie-in comic about Shadowlock actually would've helped in this instance, as Shadowlock's plan was to completely erase all mentions of the Pony of Shadow from Equestria's history (except the comic itself had Twilight stopping Shadowlock before he could fulfill his quest).
It makes sense now that 7 gems were shown in the book for the Tree of Harmony's birth, it connects with how in the humane world Sunset is a 7th Element just like Stygian sort of is and how Starlight Glimmer is too. I hope the series end or one episode shows all 3 groups of the guardians o Equestria. :D Although i am only theorising how the elements work and what stories they may take part of.
Here we go! MLP continues with changing the status quo, I seriously hope we will see Starswirl and the others in the future, there's so much that they could do with that, if they didn't bring them back it would be disappointing.
Well FINALLY!! This episode tied in everything and confirmed many of my theories. The best final, most relateable villian. Edit: The Pony of Shadows was first introduced in S4 E3 and written by Josh Haber. That was also his first episode he wrote in MLP. The finale and other Pillar eps were directed and written by him this season too. He completed his chapter in MLP.
I highly doubt its the name pony of shadows. Pretty sure the writing staff was just recycling names. Cause the pony of shadows from season 4 was said to be a byproduct of Nightmare moons magic after she was banished. So its not the same. They were simply recycling names
Epic Fable Reviews actually, if you look back, it is. It was confirmed by Rainbow when she said "The Pony of Shadows was really real?" connecting the 2 eps together. Josh has also confirmed that in past tweets. While the legend was originally about Nightmare Moon, culturally it is simple to see that alterations could be made with time.
I always taught the shadow we saw in season 4 ep3 was Tirek. You know the one that escaped in season 2 ep 20 when Cerberus left his post in Tartarus to play some ball chasing? Same Tirek that after that had to lay low in dark abandoned places and gather strength for season 4 finale...
They stopped making videos on all of their channels. There are a few posibilities: 1. They lost inspiration and just stopped making videos all together on all channels. 2. One of them aren’t able to make it to do reactions anymore (which would explain why this channels inactive, the others though idk). 3. I heard something about college getting in their way of posting in the past, so maybe one of them are jjst way too busy and in the middle of trying to graduate college. 4. This one I highly doubt but could still be a posibility, one of them have passed away. Though again I highly doubt it because even if any of them did they’d still be making videos no matter what most likely.
I'm glad they didn't start it earlier in the season. It would have absolutely spoiled this episode, because we'd know exactly what it was going to be about before it aired even if we avoided spoilers. I like it when season arcs are subtle and not obvious or in your face.
So we have seen how the sirens got banished to the human world. Question: are we ever going to find out what happened to them after Rainbow Rocks ? A lot of fans have been asking this, maybe we'll find out in season 8 or in the Equestria girls series. Also Applejack mentioned that she thinks a branch of the Apple family lives at the Hollow Shades. Maybe those family members have some information about Bright Mac and Pear Butter ? One more thing: maybe in season 8 we'll find out what happened to Wind Rider and Lightning Dust ?
Bence Major Ikr they can't eat the attention if people any more cause the in suck at singing Paso what do they eat or do I want an equestrian girls short on Thatsme
Not to be inconsiderate... but you could have at least told people you guys weren’t interested in the mlp reactions anymore. Everyone was worried about you guys.
Everyone's fine, but at this point I think it's pretty safe to say we probably won't be doing more. I'd be up to continue, but everyone's kinda off doing their own thing these days, so getting everyone together to record on a regular basis isn't really viable anymore.
I'm surprised how sure you were that Starswirl and the others wouldn't stick around. Since when has this show ever cared about the status quo? Also the main difference between the artifacts and the keys in season 4 is that they had no idea what the keys were, how and where they could be found, or what finding them would even do.
Wouldn't it be sweet if the Truly evil Chrysalis some how absorbed the darkness that Stigian rejected. Or maybe used Starlight's time spell to prevent her or Discord from ever becoming good; or maybe bring back Nightmare Moon. Season 8 ideas if anyone has any contacts.
What had happen to you guys? I'm really upset about not having your reactions anymore... I hope you're all alright, and at least happy, and as much as I hate the idea, I hope you leave this because you wanted to, and not because you have no other option and then feel frustated about it. Lot o' love
Sorry about that. We're still around, but I haven't been able to organize any new recording sessions for months; mainly due to an apparent lack of interest from the rest of the group. I still want to continue, but I have no idea if I'll be able to. We did record a _few_ of the earlier season 8 episodes so those will definitely be released at some point, but it's unclear yet if we'll be continuing beyond that.
At long last! Time to watch my three favorite commentators have their minds blown. Btw, you forgot to put a link in your description for your other channel.
1. 2:19 It was close, but Andrew called Starswirl first by two-tenths of a second. Congrats! 2. 6:23 Kristina: "What do they call it when earth ponies write? Do they call it mouthwriting?" Lipwriting sounds better, since there's already a lip _reading._ 3. 7:38 Fun fact: Those are actual runes. They spell out PONY RULES. 4. 13:01 Kristina: "Okay, the question is why would you do this?" 25:00 David: "She was blinded by wanting to meet her idol." Well said, lad! 5. 13:59 Andrew: "Hey! It's that pony who..." The young paleontologist was Petunia Paleo. 6. 18:02 That's not surfing! That's... falling with style! 7. 18:54 Kristina: "Rainbow Dash was definitely the best person to send for this job." Either her or Fluttershy, who could have just scolded Garble until he cried. 8. 22:35 Kristina: "Like, we can all agree this is a terrible idea, right?" Time to unleash unspeakable evil upon the land! Here, hold my cider. 9. 25:28 Andrew: "I think what's going to happen is... it's going to end with.... Starswirl (and the others) doing the same thing, banishing themselves again. Cause that's the status quo." Because this show _never_ breaks the status quo. There haven't really been any major changes since season 1... right? 10. 29:11 Kristina: "Look at all those ponies!" The staff were really pushing the limitations of Flash when they made this episode. 11. 29:58 Kristina: "See look, they're all paired up." Giving the shippers plenty to work with during the upcoming hiatus. 12. 34:07 Twilight: "Seapony etiquette isn't going to help right now, Spike!" If only she had thought to keep that book nearby for quick reference later... 13. 35:18 Andrew: "That would just be hilarious though if this big, like, Eldritch abomination, and they solve it with friendship." Looks like the show got the last laugh. 14. 37:12 David: "See? The map has got your back!" Actually, it's got their flanks. 15. 38:26 Starswirl: "Once a villain, always a villain!" I'd like to see him say that to Princess Luna. Or better yet, to Luna's sister. 16. 47:07 David: "That was the biggest one we've ever seen." That's what she said! 17. 48:41 Kristina: "Is he gonna travel?" I wonder how long until Starswirl crosses paths with his own traveling museum. 18. 49:28 Interesting that, instead of ending on a shot of the biggest group hug the series has ever had, we ended on a hug between Twilight and Starlight. 19. 49:43 Andrew: "They didn't sideline any characters... well except maybe Celestia and Luna." Celestia! Luna! Sorry, you two are warming the bench again. 20 57:35 David: "One last thing, one last thing! The movie reaction is coming in January. When they release it to DVD, we're uploading it." Andrew: "And _you're_ working on that." Andrew's finally had enough of this editing, rendering and uploading BS.
Thanks, I completely forgot we talked about that. 1. I mean, in all fairness, they'd already put a picture of him up on-screen. ;-) 7. I wonder if Fluttershy still has a fear of dragons. I feel like she'd have trouble standing up to Garble without some other motivating factor, like him picking on her friends. 9. I mean, I guess it _is_ a finale. But still; wasn't expecting that. And now I'm really curious as to what they're going to do with him. Maybe he just won't show up again for another season or two? They did kinda send him off to wander Equestria towards the end. 12. Ah yes, page 83: "Do not attempt to rob seaponies of their closely-guarded ancient artifacts. In their culture, this is considered rude." 15. I wonder if he knows about that. I suspect he probably banished himself before Luna first became Nightmare Moon. 20. Hahaha. That was actually his idea; I think he wants to do some extra little magic with the editing.
7. So, basically as long as Garble doesn't pick on any of Fluttershy's friends, including Spike, she'd have no power over him? ...Yep, Garble would be screwed. 9. I'm guessing the real reason for that is because they couldn't be sure how long it'd be until they could get Starswirl's voice actor again. 15. He must have, because Celestia and Luna were still together when they discovered the Tree of Harmony that sprouted from the pillars' seed.
The Russian distributor for the movie, Central Partnership, took it down and gave us a strike. I guess that's one downside to having the movie so widely distributed; way more copyright enforcement agents to deal with.
Andrew Meyer I was wondering how you guys were doing? You're way behind on MLP and I was wondering if you were going to continue Gravity Falls? I really miss you guys, I understand that real life gets in the way, but it would be nice if we got some sort of major update from you guys considering the fact that it's been quite a long while since we heard from you guys. No rush, just wanting to know how you guys are doing and if you guys are continuing reactions at any point. And either way if you could create a update video sometime here, letting us know?
Yeah, our recording schedule has really slowed down a lot lately. I still _plan_ to finish both series, but given how much effort it now takes just to get everyone together to record a single episode, I have no idea how long that will take.
Sorry about using your name specifically, I used PonyWatch some odd months ago and never got a response from one of you guys, so I figured I'd get a faster response by commenting on your name. I totally get it, real life gets in the way; happens all of the time. Would be nice if we got a super quick like 5 minute video or something like that just saying something like oh sorry we haven't been posting reactions, real life is hectic, blah blah blah or whatever. But happy to hear from you regardless! No rush on the reactions, as I said I understand that real life does get in the way.
When we first here about the pony of shadows we find out that it is leftover magic from nightmare moon applejack said “when nightmare moon was banished not all of her magic went with her it became the pony of shadows”
This is only the second video of yours I watched and I’m wondering are you all siblings because you like triplets 19:37 that reminds me of every time Hulk punches someone
You guys made a good point, about how the mane 6 getting the relics should have been the premise of the season. Its funny because I thought the exact same thing while watching this finale! But anywho, great reaction! I'm looking forward to your reactions to The Movie and season 8! :D
For more backstory of the pillars of Equestria, check here: readcomiconline.to/Comic/My-Little-Pony-Legends-of-Magic From the same site, you can find the other MLP comics. It might be a bit tricky to find where some of them place within the show, but if you know enough of the lore, you should be able to figure it out. *the first 6 of the legends of magic take place before the finale, some of them giving hints of which episodes they take place after, while the remaining issues, some still being made, will explain how Stygian gathered them all together*

This episode was truly epic. I wonder if we'll see more of Starswirl and the others now that they're back. Interesting times ahead.
This is it, the end of season 7! Hope you all enjoyed our videos, we'll be back with more commentaries of fan content and the new Equestria Girls shorts in the near future. (Oh, and let's not forget about the Equestria Girls Specials; we'll probably be releasing the rest of those next.)
I'm guessing that you'll release your reactions to the movie once it's made available for people to view it?
Anyhow, glad to see this up.
They're not triplets just siblings For the thousand time
+Alaric Yeah, once the DVD is released.
PonyWatch interesting fact, Josh Haber wrote S4 E3 Castle Mania where the Pony of Shadows was first mentioned. He then directed and wrote these Pillar eps in Season 7. He tied everything together.
Andrew Meyer I hope you guys can avoid the Season 8, Season 9 & EQG spoilers that are currently floating around.
RIP channel
March 29, 2015 - December 10, 2017
thank you for all the great memories with yall's reactions :')
Is it sad that I kept waiting for you guys to come back, even though the show is over now. Finale happened and you guys never returned...RIP, you have been missed.
im depressed please come back or at least let us why you wont be back :c
I don’t know why they left, but they should of told they fans.
That they were leaving UA-cam at least.
ikr
Me to!
This channel brings back so many memories

Miss you guys :(

That's a good headcanon.
15:55 Since "Look Before You Sleep" episode.
A bit of earth pony magic, a bit of the element of strength. Making Apple Jack super strong.
Will you do season 8?
I think they will sometime in the future

Shadows will always come as long as there is always light. They never banish it completely (it will never will) bet you that thing will come back and will posses again. I hope it will be the royal sisters turning them into nightmaremoon and daybreaker perhaps
Happy 1 year aniversary of not being on YT! Still holding hope you all can get together again.
Season 8 just ended you guys. Just popping in to let you know.

As always ponywatch thanks for the journey se you in season 8 the finale among finale season.
The strength of honesty
The beauty of generosity
The healing of kindness
The bravery of loyalty
The hope of laughter and
The socery of magic. Its really complements each other isn't it.
tbh the pillars elements dont really fit the current elements how does beauty relate to generosity it only relay crates to the mNe 6 personalities
OMG THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW THANK YOU
OMG what happened to the UPLOADS
Popping by for one last comment before school starts again. Hope you all are ok and not in any life troubles. Missing the eps and would be fine if one of you were missing for an ep or if it was just one reactor. Everyone understands when life calls. Will await either another episode or a goodbye video to end the channel.
When the shadow pony was against twilight and starlight he said he was at his weakest state
PonyWatch: Haven't heard from you guys for quite a while, either from MLP FIM reactions or your Gravity Falls reactions on your other channel, I understand perfectly well that real life gets in the way, and that I believe you reacted to the pony movie and it got blocked, but I hope that you continue your reactions sometime soon, I really miss your MLP FIM and Gravity Falls reactions.
Yeah I do too, And I also understand real life get's in the way sometimes, but we don't know if they're working or not. They could be having fun with their friends. I mean I want them to react to mlp season 8 and more other cartoons,
But it's there choice, and this is way they so far behind in things like this. I'm not putting them out. I just...want them to it seriously that's all. And they think this channel it just a hobby, but that doesn't mean they should neglected their channel.
I just wish they would take more seriously. and I get you too.
at this point, it seems unlikely they'll return. if they do, i doubt the reactions will be BLIND reactions
Its certainly strange. I mean out of all 3 of the pony watch crew andrew was the most active. I do hope someone finds out something eventually.
Your reactions were great
*INSERT STAR SWIRL SENPAI JOKE HERE*
Aawwww I wish you guys came back rlly miss you and haven't heard from you in for ever I know you guys probs have work but I miss your reactions and alot of ppl want you back consider it
No spoilers for S9 but still missing you all. You were one of my favorite reactors/react group.
Don’t I know it.
00:14 Oh yeah :> Here we go ;> That's the spirit ;) I'm glad that you have no clue what's gonna happen in this finale :>

47:04 When a spacetime rift this big collapses, it releases a lot of electromagnetic energy of many frequencies, some of them from the visible range ;) Technically called the "Taste The Rainbow, Motherfucker!" effect ;)
50:00 Yup, it was definitely great :> And it's quite ironic that this finale has got 10 times better script than the MLP Movie which was supposed to be The Next Big Thing™ :P
Seriously, you guys well? We haven't heard anything in 5 months and you guys are the best at reacting
We'll be back. Just having trouble getting everyone together to record; our free time doesn't line up very often these days.
So you guys are still around. But you do know that practically season 8 is almost over and you still haven't reacted to them yet. And by all means your going to take a long time recording them and then editing, and then publishing.
Andrew you and your sibs have to take this more seriously if you want to react to more cartoons, you have to at least care (I'm not saying you don't) but actions speak louder than words.
Even though real life gets in the way, you guys have to figure something out about that, cause it's getting way out of control. I'm mean this is way you can't do you anime watch channel,
Because of stuff like this. (sigh) Andy I just want to help you, to get these recordings done, and take this...well a little bit more seriously, that's all.
Ande Brown Pretty sure that they just do the reactions for fun, they don't have to take it seriously.
Hope you all are doing alright. We’ll be here waiting when you decided to come back.
This is the best finale.
Yes it is.
Yes it is.

My opinion.
I shouldn't need to state that,though
While I agree that seeing episodes for finding each artifact would've been cool, the problem of doing so is making five stories out of them. The key episodes worked because they were stories about unrelated stuff that forshadowed something to come that became clearer in hindsight.
Building episodes around the artifacts means they are being searched, and for the search to mean anything to the characters, time has to pass in-universe. But the most time passes in-universe between them deciding to find the artifacts and using them to release the legends, the less believable it is that NOBODY would've realized the glaring issue of their plans also releasing the Pony of Shadows.
The story as it stands only works because one pony (Twilight) was pushing the plan and nobody stopped to consider the issues with their plan (save for Starlight having personal problems with the plan over her own mistakes with messing with Starswirl's magic, rather than fearing the Pony of Shadows returing). Plenty of fans had troubles with this blindness as it was, now imagine that glaring mistake not being adressed over five consecutive episodes, or even worse the whole season.
You would need to heavily rerwite everything so that the Pony of Shadows was an unknown factor until the last moment. So the opening story would've needed to be super vague, and the journal not said anything about the nature of the threat they faced or why they vanished, only that they did. The tie-in comic about Shadowlock actually would've helped in this instance, as Shadowlock's plan was to completely erase all mentions of the Pony of Shadow from Equestria's history (except the comic itself had Twilight stopping Shadowlock before he could fulfill his quest).
Where’d y’all go? :(
Hello? College has ended so, you guys ok? I understand life gets in the way but is life hard right now?
It makes sense now that 7 gems were shown in the book for the Tree of Harmony's birth, it connects with how in the humane world Sunset is a 7th Element just like Stygian sort of is and how Starlight Glimmer is too.
I hope the series end or one episode shows all 3 groups of the guardians o Equestria. :D Although i am only theorising how the elements work and what stories they may take part of.
Damn this is their newest video and it was posted 2 years ago. Season finale has ended and I'm wondering where you guys are
Here we go! MLP continues with changing the status quo, I seriously hope we will see Starswirl and the others in the future, there's so much that they could do with that, if they didn't bring them back it would be disappointing.
you are everywhere lol
just came to let y'all guys, and girl know the new season is up
Well FINALLY!! This episode tied in everything and confirmed many of my theories. The best final, most relateable villian.
Edit: The Pony of Shadows was first introduced in S4 E3 and written by Josh Haber. That was also his first episode he wrote in MLP. The finale and other Pillar eps were directed and written by him this season too. He completed his chapter in MLP.
I highly doubt its the name pony of shadows. Pretty sure the writing staff was just recycling names. Cause the pony of shadows from season 4 was said to be a byproduct of Nightmare moons magic after she was banished. So its not the same. They were simply recycling names
Epic Fable Reviews actually, if you look back, it is. It was confirmed by Rainbow when she said "The Pony of Shadows was really real?" connecting the 2 eps together. Josh has also confirmed that in past tweets. While the legend was originally about Nightmare Moon, culturally it is simple to see that alterations could be made with time.
I always taught the shadow we saw in season 4 ep3 was Tirek. You know the one that escaped in season 2 ep 20 when Cerberus left his post in Tartarus to play some ball chasing? Same Tirek that after that had to lay low in dark abandoned places and gather strength for season 4 finale...
The villain sucked.
Damn it’s been 5 years
Ikr I definitely think a comeback now is closer to not happening but who knows maybe one day they’ll sit down and record again
Does anyone know why these guys stopped doing MLP: FIM episode commentaries?
They stopped making videos on all of their channels. There are a few posibilities:
1. They lost inspiration and just stopped making videos all together on all channels.
2. One of them aren’t able to make it to do reactions anymore (which would explain why this channels inactive, the others though idk).
3. I heard something about college getting in their way of posting in the past, so maybe one of them are jjst way too busy and in the middle of trying to graduate college.
4. This one I highly doubt but could still be a posibility, one of them have passed away. Though again I highly doubt it because even if any of them did they’d still be making videos no matter what most likely.
"Since when was she a gardener" Look before you sleep.
A pony named Flash that bronies genuinely like
Cool
Finish rest of series please
R.I.P
??? 🤔🤨
I'm glad they didn't start it earlier in the season. It would have absolutely spoiled this episode, because we'd know exactly what it was going to be about before it aired even if we avoided spoilers. I like it when season arcs are subtle and not obvious or in your face.
I miss u guys :/
R.I.P 😩
How much longer before you guys reacts to the season 8 episodes; the first 12 are already out.
They will never be reacting again sadly.
Where's a new video? They already finished the half season 8 of MLP.
Pleas come Back!!! We all miss you #come Back
That old bearded thought he knew everything. He has an ego bigger than his beard.
So we have seen how the sirens got banished to the human world. Question: are we ever going to find out what happened to them after Rainbow Rocks ? A lot of fans have been asking this, maybe we'll find out in season 8 or in the Equestria girls series. Also Applejack mentioned that she thinks a branch of the Apple family lives at the Hollow Shades. Maybe those family members have some information about Bright Mac and Pear Butter ? One more thing: maybe in season 8 we'll find out what happened to Wind Rider and Lightning Dust ?
Bence Major Ikr they can't eat the attention if people any more cause the in suck at singing Paso what do they eat or do I want an equestrian girls short on Thatsme
I miss you guys! Where’d you go? 🙁
Still here, just not really actively recording anymore.
Not to be inconsiderate... but you could have at least told people you guys weren’t interested in the mlp reactions anymore.
Everyone was worried about you guys.
Still enjoying your videos :)
Hey just checking back. Hopefully y'all are. 🥺. If y'all aren't doing UA-cam anymore can you guys tell us?
Everyone's fine, but at this point I think it's pretty safe to say we probably won't be doing more. I'd be up to continue, but everyone's kinda off doing their own thing these days, so getting everyone together to record on a regular basis isn't really viable anymore.
Andrew Meyer ah that's fair enough. We will miss u guys though. Y'all were great. But it's understandable, hope y'all the best in life!
@@AndrewMeyer 🥺❤️
Wow it has been 3 years but u are still in season 7 what happened?
They said they are really busy so they most likely wont finish mlp g4
@@thanushan3981 and why every channel like This stop In 2017 or 2018
What happened too the VID!
I wonder if they found a way to re-upload the My Little pony movie reaction somewhere?
They had lol
37:57 Definitely a "Senpai notice me" face.
Where the movie reaction and season 8?
Mathew Teo movie reaction happened but was removed due to copyright complaints. Season 8 is a mystery though.
I'm surprised how sure you were that Starswirl and the others wouldn't stick around. Since when has this show ever cared about the status quo? Also the main difference between the artifacts and the keys in season 4 is that they had no idea what the keys were, how and where they could be found, or what finding them would even do.
My little pony season 9 is the last season of my little pony 😭😭😭😭
I wish that they would react to season 9 too
@@sagebennett3066 this is a old comment I understand why they aren't doing it anymore
It would be nice if there was a message in the community-tab so we know what is going on...
Good idea.
@@AndrewMeyer are you going to update a vidoe
Wouldn't it be sweet if the Truly evil Chrysalis some how absorbed the darkness that Stigian rejected. Or maybe used Starlight's time spell to prevent her or Discord from ever becoming good; or maybe bring back Nightmare Moon. Season 8 ideas if anyone has any contacts.
The time spell was destroyed though.
Season 8 and 9 reactions please
Please 💔😭😪😢!!!!
Please react To season 8 And 9
When comes the reactions of season 8?🤔
What had happen to you guys? I'm really upset about not having your reactions anymore... I hope you're all alright, and at least happy, and as much as I hate the idea, I hope you leave this because you wanted to, and not because you have no other option and then feel frustated about it. Lot o' love
Sorry about that. We're still around, but I haven't been able to organize any new recording sessions for months; mainly due to an apparent lack of interest from the rest of the group. I still want to continue, but I have no idea if I'll be able to. We did record a _few_ of the earlier season 8 episodes so those will definitely be released at some point, but it's unclear yet if we'll be continuing beyond that.
@@AndrewMeyer Well, you could go solo and we will be here for you.
@@AndrewMeyer have the others left the fandom? seems it's happening to many lately
7:46 The Runes read "Pony Runes" :D
I bet "the shade" is the ultimate villain of mlp series, i would wish "the shade" infects celestia and turn her into daybreaker as the series finale.
At long last! Time to watch my three favorite commentators have their minds blown.
Btw, you forgot to put a link in your description for your other channel.
1. 2:19 It was close, but Andrew called Starswirl first by two-tenths of a second. Congrats!
2. 6:23 Kristina: "What do they call it when earth ponies write? Do they call it mouthwriting?"
Lipwriting sounds better, since there's already a lip _reading._
3. 7:38 Fun fact: Those are actual runes. They spell out PONY RULES.
4. 13:01 Kristina: "Okay, the question is why would you do this?"
25:00 David: "She was blinded by wanting to meet her idol."
Well said, lad!
5. 13:59 Andrew: "Hey! It's that pony who..."
The young paleontologist was Petunia Paleo.
6. 18:02 That's not surfing! That's... falling with style!
7. 18:54 Kristina: "Rainbow Dash was definitely the best person to send for this job."
Either her or Fluttershy, who could have just scolded Garble until he cried.
8. 22:35 Kristina: "Like, we can all agree this is a terrible idea, right?"
Time to unleash unspeakable evil upon the land! Here, hold my cider.
9. 25:28 Andrew: "I think what's going to happen is... it's going to end with.... Starswirl (and the others) doing the same thing, banishing themselves again. Cause that's the status quo."
Because this show _never_ breaks the status quo. There haven't really been any major changes since season 1... right?
10. 29:11 Kristina: "Look at all those ponies!"
The staff were really pushing the limitations of Flash when they made this episode.
11. 29:58 Kristina: "See look, they're all paired up."
Giving the shippers plenty to work with during the upcoming hiatus.
12. 34:07 Twilight: "Seapony etiquette isn't going to help right now, Spike!"
If only she had thought to keep that book nearby for quick reference later...
13. 35:18 Andrew: "That would just be hilarious though if this big, like, Eldritch abomination, and they solve it with friendship."
Looks like the show got the last laugh.
14. 37:12 David: "See? The map has got your back!"
Actually, it's got their flanks.
15. 38:26 Starswirl: "Once a villain, always a villain!"
I'd like to see him say that to Princess Luna. Or better yet, to Luna's sister.
16. 47:07 David: "That was the biggest one we've ever seen."
That's what she said!
17. 48:41 Kristina: "Is he gonna travel?"
I wonder how long until Starswirl crosses paths with his own traveling museum.
18. 49:28 Interesting that, instead of ending on a shot of the biggest group hug the series has ever had, we ended on a hug between Twilight and Starlight.
19. 49:43 Andrew: "They didn't sideline any characters... well except maybe Celestia and Luna."
Celestia! Luna! Sorry, you two are warming the bench again.
20 57:35 David: "One last thing, one last thing! The movie reaction is coming in January. When they release it to DVD, we're uploading it."
Andrew: "And _you're_ working on that."
Andrew's finally had enough of this editing, rendering and uploading BS.
Thanks, I completely forgot we talked about that.
1. I mean, in all fairness, they'd already put a picture of him up on-screen. ;-)
7. I wonder if Fluttershy still has a fear of dragons. I feel like she'd have trouble standing up to Garble without some other motivating factor, like him picking on her friends.
9. I mean, I guess it _is_ a finale. But still; wasn't expecting that. And now I'm really curious as to what they're going to do with him. Maybe he just won't show up again for another season or two? They did kinda send him off to wander Equestria towards the end.
12. Ah yes, page 83: "Do not attempt to rob seaponies of their closely-guarded ancient artifacts. In their culture, this is considered rude."
15. I wonder if he knows about that. I suspect he probably banished himself before Luna first became Nightmare Moon.
20. Hahaha. That was actually his idea; I think he wants to do some extra little magic with the editing.
7. So, basically as long as Garble doesn't pick on any of Fluttershy's friends, including Spike, she'd have no power over him?
...Yep, Garble would be screwed.
9. I'm guessing the real reason for that is because they couldn't be sure how long it'd be until they could get Starswirl's voice actor again.
15. He must have, because Celestia and Luna were still together when they discovered the Tree of Harmony that sprouted from the pillars' seed.
7. ...good point.
You all ok? Haven't heard anything in nearly a year. Something happen?
We're fine, just having a harder time getting everyone together to record.
@@AndrewMeyer will there be an alternative upload of the mlp movie reaction you did? Never got to see it before it was taken down.
@@vincentprovost1506 Yeah. Haven't looked at that in a while but I'll see what I can do
R.i.p channel
Fluttershy : "mmhm" YOUR NOT MARBLE PIE
was the movie reaction removed by Hasbro? don't see it now
The Russian distributor for the movie, Central Partnership, took it down and gave us a strike. I guess that's one downside to having the movie so widely distributed; way more copyright enforcement agents to deal with.
know if it is it doing that to ALL the youtube movie reactions?
Cocoaben yep. All movie reacts I know of are down.
Andrew Meyer I was wondering how you guys were doing? You're way behind on MLP and I was wondering if you were going to continue Gravity Falls? I really miss you guys, I understand that real life gets in the way, but it would be nice if we got some sort of major update from you guys considering the fact that it's been quite a long while since we heard from you guys.
No rush, just wanting to know how you guys are doing and if you guys are continuing reactions at any point. And either way if you could create a update video sometime here, letting us know?
Yeah, our recording schedule has really slowed down a lot lately. I still _plan_ to finish both series, but given how much effort it now takes just to get everyone together to record a single episode, I have no idea how long that will take.
Sorry about using your name specifically, I used PonyWatch some odd months ago and never got a response from one of you guys, so I figured I'd get a faster response by commenting on your name. I totally get it, real life gets in the way; happens all of the time. Would be nice if we got a super quick like 5 minute video or something like that just saying something like oh sorry we haven't been posting reactions, real life is hectic, blah blah blah or whatever. But happy to hear from you regardless! No rush on the reactions, as I said I understand that real life does get in the way.
Are you guys ok
Are you guys going to be doing Season 8?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Wooooo!!!!
When we first here about the pony of shadows we find out that it is leftover magic from nightmare moon applejack said “when nightmare moon was banished not all of her magic went with her it became the pony of shadows”
Isn't the pony of shadows before nightmare moon though? Applejack said that's just what ponies said
YOU NEED TO WATCH SEASON 8
Can You Guys React To Season 8 Of Mlp? :D
Is everthing fine
Wont you react to The EG special “Forgotten friendship”?
This is only the second video of yours I watched and I’m wondering are you all siblings because you like triplets

Yes, we're siblings.

Hey, you guys retried?
Since MLP season 8 has released a few episodes, are you guys planning to do reactions to it?
What happened to you guys? :(
You guys dead?
Please come back
Please do the rest of the seasons
You guys made a good point, about how the mane 6 getting the relics should have been the premise of the season. Its funny because I thought the exact same thing while watching this finale! But anywho, great reaction! I'm looking forward to your reactions to The Movie and season 8! :D
Season 8?
They will react to it. Their really busy though.
still waiting...
Your reaction to my little pony movie is blocked plz can you sort that out coz I can't watch your video of that 😩
It's only blocked in a few countries right now. A VPN or proxy in another country should let you bypass the block.
14:12
You don't know you talk to uses the friendship save the world's pony,right?
Damn their last video I’m starting to wonder if something bad happened to one of them or they just stopped watching mlp
Will you try to reupload your movie reaction?
Also when's your reactions to season 8?
Basically I fell like stygian

From the same site, you can find the other MLP comics. It might be a bit tricky to find where some of them place within the show, but if you know enough of the lore, you should be able to figure it out. *the first 6 of the legends of magic take place before the finale, some of them giving hints of which episodes they take place after, while the remaining issues, some still being made, will explain how Stygian gathered them all together*
Season 8! :D
where's season 8 reactions????
Please can you post a new video season 8 episodes are already out can you please please please post new video if your channel is still active
