Am I the only one who kinda got a military veteran vibe off of this episode? Like someone who's come back from war and is now having difficulty fitting in with polite/civilian society?
This is definitely a depiction of the transition from a militaristic to peaceful society. There's a lot of parallels between the Changelings and West Germany in this episode, albeit in a more modern and kid-friendly setting.
How chrysalis didn't usurp the throne from thorax during the final 3 seasons is beyond me, they were so defenseless at this point it would've been extremely plausible. It also would've been interesting if pharynx sided with chrissy and thorax had to come to terms with his brother being evil.
@@Flufux Wasn't sure myself, so I looked it up on the wiki.
We have actually, in the episode Maud Pie, but it's only for a brief moment. It's a rock cut into the shape of a diamond. You can see it briefly when she's rescuing Pinkie Pie from the falling boulders since her dress hitches up exposing her flank. (Damn, I feel dirty saying that, even though almost everyone is always nude in the show 🙁)
גיא קרוננפלד Not sure that actually was confirmed by name. I think it's more like a structured living situation. Obviously, the newborns are of changeling couples, but everyone that came before was likely straight from Chrysalis.
One of my favorite pairings: Trixie and Starlight Favorite species in the show: Changelings My love for this episode is obviously biased, but it still stands.
This episode was pretty interesting, in in a good way. It was nice to get some more information on Thorax’s brother, Pharynx after he was mentioned in “Triple Threat.” I do like Pharynx though, he’s a cool character.
I thought for a while about how it could have been interesting if Thorax had been misunderstood and meant that his brother was right about them being defenseless with the throne gone, Chrisilis out there, the monster on the lose, and no one else would volunteer to patrol and he wanted Starlight to convince the changlings to listen to his brother. Also I think it would have been a cool twist if the monster had turned out to be a couple of changlings who were truely loyal to Chrisilis.
The leader's only sibling is the same subspecies as the leader, but every physical trait, from height, to wings, to the horns is smaller. He's also got a darker color scheme and a stern disposition to counterbalance the lighter colored, lighthearted leader. People are always calling Thorax and Pharanx King Thorax and Prince Pharanx, but I propose Princes Thorax and Pharanx. After all, the parallel between the Changeling Royal Brothers and the Equestrian Royal Sisters has been drawn many times before, why not complete the parallel?
As a side note, it's interesting that for all the parallels that can be drawn, the two aspects among them that hold the most social value in our society is actually reversed between them. The Equestrian Royals are female, and the eldest is at the top of the pecking order. The Changeling Royals are male and the younger is the highest authority.
Thorax said that Pharynx was his broodmate, meaning they were two of a group that hatched from the same clutch of eggs (a bunch of eggs that were laid at the same time). That increases the likelihood that they were fathered by the same drone. It also means they would be very close to the same age and would have spent their entire childhoods growing up together, so even if Throrax and Pharynx weren't more closely related genetically they would still have a closer relationship than two random changelings.
As for how the hive survived without having a queen... My guess would be that when the changelings evolved, so did their manner of reproduction.
Either that, or it's reversed, and now all changelings will be fathered by Thorax. Lucky guy! =D
One thing I never understood when watching this. I thought all changelings were siblings, because they had the same mother, Chrysalis. Only queens of a hive can lay eggs, and I don't think there was another. I also never understood how the hive could survive without her, either.

The only safe way to do so now is to post episode reviews or something else short, making the redirect link in the description a secondary purpose of the video, rather than the primary purpose.
