Blind Reaction: MLP FIM Season 4 Episode 24 "Equestria Games"

As a Spike fan, I must say this is one of the best Spike's episodes of the series. I thought a lot of times Spike is relatable in some ways, and this episode really makes a great job showing that. ^w^

The part when spike is singing the anthem is so cringy but yet funny, I love this part although I feel so bad for him.

This episode was the cringiest for me for awhile. It took a long time before I could watch the whole thing. I relate to Spike soooo much, I still feel awful for screwing up stuff that happened decades ago. :P I do love the lesson, though, as it's totally true.

The equestria games was built up for a while, so I was expecting it to be a bit bigger than this, likely saved for a finale, but I'm not disappointed with what we got. The writers had a hard time getting me invested in Spike, but he really won me over as time went on.

This is one of those episodes that hits too close to home. It's really cool they portray that lack of self worth in a kid's show, because that's exactly how it feels. All the praise means nothing if you can't feel it inside.

Whatever else is said about the episode, and cheesy or not, it's a valuable lesson. Everybody's screwed up on a scale like this at one time or another. It is really really hard sometimes to bounce back from that. Pushing the past into the past is often necessary to do the 'next thing' right.

Spike’s singing and everyone's reaction is my favourite part of the whole episode.
10:42 I wonder where Rainbow got those glasses.

This is a fantastic episode. Spike is relatable. Twilight is great. Spike butchering the cloudsdale anthem is great.

The spike song in this episode gave a majority of fans PTSD.

3:24-3:38 He sounds like the best kind of friend you could ask for! TwiLestia is always a treat ;)

Also, when I watched this episode on my own last night, at 13:27 and 19:29 I said the exact same things to myself. I think we must have some sort of psychic link or something!

6:03 "Oh damn, everyone's here! Saddle Arabian, Prince Blueblood..."
I feel sorry for the Saddle Arabian mare who had to sit beside that blowhard.

13:56 "Soarin looks tired!"
He always looks tired. Probably because he's usually the only stallion in the Wonderbolts' locker room...

When I first watched this episode I had to straight-up skip past Spike's singing, the cringe was too much to handle

15:44 New favorite song of season 4? =D

17:05 "Is that a Celestia and Luna drawer, or, wardrobe?"
One side for daywear, the other for nightwear. ;)

During the song the aerial relay race is going on against Cloudsdale.

Celestia x Twilight
I see your friend is a man of culture

10:13 twilight with normal wings looks weird

1:49 Fluttershy knows how to motivate a stallion. ;)

The episode equivalent to one of EQG’s movies.

Ah! I see your friend is a man of culture! XD

Equestria games,
The day where the Clouds dale anthem been murder in vein.

I have to mute the Cloudsdale Anthem. It's a good episode overall - especially how Spike saves the Crystal Empire from a tragedy akin to the Munich Massacre in 1972, but that really does not go well for me.

Although I liked this episode overall I didn't appreciate how they made Spike so dumb as to think he's pyrokinetic.also when he was dumb and tried to sing the cloudsdale anthem was just painful to watch.

3:23 You gotta share ! You gotta care! (sorry not sorry)

Spike saved then again wow.

If this was like season 1, this would have been the finale.

I couldn't stop cringing and pausing the episode when spike was singing
It was so funny but so cringe

At first I wanted to be in the army but it's to intentse

Wait, are you an army ranger?

Can i meet your friend he sounds great

Yay first again
