One of the basic rules of mlp : never question Pinkie Pie.

I think everyone knows not to question the Pink one.


If you think about it, the ponies' superpowers were appropriate to each of their personalities and/or professions.

Rainbow Dash is a weather pony, and was given control over the forces of nature.

Pinkie Pie already breaks physics, so giving her super speed is actually a narrowing of her powers, if anything.

Twilight Sparkle is the element of magic, so she was given powers that come from her horn.

Rarity is a creative type, so she was given the power to create anything from her imagination.

Applejack is a country pony and the element of honesty, so giving her Wonder Woman's "Lasso of Truth" made perfect sense.

And Fluttershy has issues with suppressed rage, which usually only comes out as passive-aggressive behavior, except on those rare occasions when she's pushed too far...

I like all of the reasons their powers were given, but I must disagree with twilight’s reason. <br>In season 4 ep 6, twilight just became an Alicorn. Like it hasn’t even been 2 weeks since her coronation. And through out the show we learned that alicorns need balance and Control of their magic, and the right mindset. So i think twilight was given Fire and ice powers so she can control them correctly and make balance between them (since ice melts when it touches fire) . So i guess Twilight got these powers as a type of training to her new magic that is a similar power to her power pony ones. I guess it would make sense since (warning,spoilers from season 4 finale up coming) Twilight received a lot of magic at the end . And it took her a little to control it, but she was able to put balance between four completely different types of magic!

@@Yesmypfpismeirl I really like your idea.  However, I didn't think it was ever confirmed that the red beam Twilight was shooting as the "Masked Matterhorn" was fire-based.  Not sure what else it could have been though, so I can see why you would make that assumption.

@@Narrator007 Yes you’re right, btw I absolutely adore the fact that you realized that applejack’s rope was the same as wonder woman’s . Not a lot of people notice this awesome reference


Each of the Power Ponies is based on a hero/heroine from Marvel Comics or DC Comics:

1. Hum Drum's (Spike) costume has a color scheme similar to that of Robin's.

2. Saddle Rager's (Fluttershy) anger transformation ability is similar to that of The Incredible Hulk.

3. Fili-Second's (Pinkie Pie) superpowers and costume are similar to that of the Flash.

4. Mistress Mare-velous (Applejack) wields a lasso similar to that of Wonder Woman and gadgets similar to those of Batman.

5. Zapp's (Rainbow Dash) powers are based on those of Thor and Storm.

6. Radiance (Rarity) has creation powers similar to those of Green Lantern, although the color of her constructs is the same as that of the Star Sapphires, another group from the Green Lantern stories.

7. Masked Matter-Horn (Twilight Sparkle) has powers loosely based on those of Cyclops from X-Men


This episode was originally 32 minutes long, however 10 minutes of footage were removed due to time constraints.


I think it's hilarious that becoming the Masked Matterhorn actually <b>nerfed</b> Twilight's magical powers. XD

I think it's hilarious that becoming the Masked Matterhorn actually *nerfed* Twilight's magical powers. XD


12:30 Twilight: "So much for element of surprise."
Element of surprise is not compatible with Element of Loyalty.  :)


Never hurt an animal in front of Fluttershy.

Or else she'll become an evil ponymalgamation.


The mask Matterhorn is twilight counterpart in the power ponies universe, but she was a Pegasus. Her horn is all machine basically mechanical


Yeah, as someone already said, Maniac is based off of the Joker, not Hulk.  Saddle Rager is Hulk.

True Edge Not just the Joker, but Dr. Octopus as well.

That irked me too! It has DC and Marvel inspiration but clearly it is like Joker's supposed origin story from Under the red hood.

But the way Maniac travels is based on Doc Ock.


14:30 "Dude, Pinkie just accepted her fate."
She must have read ahead in the script.


Heroes the Power Ponies are based on:

Masked Matter-Horn: Cyclops
Fillisecond: Flash
Zapp: Storm
Radiance: Any Lantern Corps
Mistress Mare-velous: Wonder Woman and Batman combined
Saddle Rager: Hulk
Hum Drum: Robin before he was cool

I'd say the Masked Matter-Horn is either Superman or at least Ice-Man. Even though we only see her use Ice Spike states she can shoot all kinds of different beams. I really can't think of too many other hero's with a mix of different abilities. And remember Superman has cold breath which has the same effect even though it isn't a beam. And Zapp is probably more Thor-ish as she needs to use the Lightning Bolt to control her powers similar to Thor and his hammer (not including any awaking's)

Digital Adventurer On the MLP wiki, Masked Matter-horn’s secret identity is listed as Trot Summers

@@doctorflashsfd1060 Huh weird choice then considering she used mainly ice powers of which Cyclops has no affiliation

I actually thought of Cyclops by myself because at some point Spike says to Twilight to blast them and Cyclops's only power is to blast as well.

Another parallel hero for Masked Matter-horn is Space Ghost, who could fly and fire a wide variety of attacks - including ice, heat, and kinetic energy - from his wristbands.


I just want to say for Friendship is Witchcraft, that all the "foreshadowing" that Twilight will become a princess was completely coincidental, because most of those episodes were uploaded before Twilight became a princess.


spike said "And once again the day was saved..." with is from Power puff girls ^^

Niclas W. That makes sense since Lauren Faust is the wife of Craig McCracken, creator of Powerpuff Girls


I feel like this episode of My Little Pony is circled and focused on Spike FINALLY gets AND has a chance to be a hero to save his friends or what he said his FAMILY y'all 👍 Yeet 💪 I love it just as you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤


Flutterhulk is awesome<br>Can't wait to see your reactions for the next few episodes.

Can't wait to see your reactions for the next few episodes.


11:04 "How do you lasso a tornado?"
Ask Pecos Bill.


This is a good episode. The superhero references are great. The premise is okay. Flutterhulk is just great.


Flutterhulk, my god. Some advice, never hurt an animal in a 1,000,000,000 mile radius from Fluttershy.

I can hurt a rabbit on Alpha Centauri! Hurrah!


While the Mane Six are a parody on both Marvel and DC characters, the Mane-iac is a cross between Electro and Doc Ock.

With Joker's classic chemical bath origin...


Notice  how every character corresponds to an existing superhero for example Applejack is wonder woman,  pinkie is the flash rainbowdash is storm Fluttershy is the hulk even Spike is the useless Robin., the maneiac seems to be a combination of Lex Luther and Mr. Freeze. the plot itself seems to have influenced the 2016 Jumanji movie being that the plots are almost the same except for the comic book is a video game system in the movie.


The characters i think the heroes are based of

Twilight - Idk tbh
Rarity - Green Lantern
Applejack - Wonder woman
Pinkie Pie - Flash
Rainbow Dash - Thor
Fluttershy - Hulk
Spike - Robin
Maniac - Joker


Once you get through season 4, you should react to "My Kingdom for a Horse" by marshmallowok. It's a compilation of jokes and PMVs that's a bit similar to Ponies the Anthology, but it serves as a tribute to season 4 specifically.


4:27 As the old saying goes, "It's Pinkie Pie. Don't question it."

This seems like a pretty left field kind of episode A modern superhero setting doesn't really fit with the world of Equestria, but it seems pretty cool now that it's actually a thing. I honestly wouldn't mind if they had made a power ponies mini spinoff series. And yes, I'm sure we can all agree that Fluttershy becoming the hulk was awesome.


Flutterhulk is best Fluttershy :) and actually the Maneiac's backstory is most likely based on the Joker


01:28 Judging by her design and constant mad laugh, I'd say Joker from "Batman" ;)
04:14 Seeing some parallels here, Spike? ;)
06:38 Yeah, and Rainbow Dash is jealous ;)
12:12 Pinkamena ;)
12:25 LEEEROOOOOOY JEEEEEENKIIIIIIIIINS!!!!! :)
14:55 Never underestimate the little ones ;J  That's how all villains fail :q


The maniac’s story is the story of the joker


This has to be one of the most interesting and fun episodes of the season. I didn’t expect to see our favorite pony characters taking on the role of superheroes that resemble the one’s that we are familiar with (Pinkie as the Flash, AJ as Wonder Woman/Batman, and Fluttershy as Hulk), but it was very cool while it lasted. I also like the Mane-iac as well, she is as enjoyable villain.


Twilight: “Fluttershy, now would be a good time for you to get angry.”

Fluttershy: “That’s my secret Twilight, I’m always angry.” (transforms into Flutterhulk and demolishes the the cannon)


Jesus FlutterShy the Hulk is terrifying as fuck.


I've always found this episode boring as all heck, but I'm reserving my Season 4 Skip (I grant myself one per season, haven't used any so far but they don't carry over) for later on.

But yea, it's a pretty forgettable episode.


I would say the maniac was doc ock with jokers personality


5:55 Does this scene remind you of anything from season 1?  Like, going down the diamond dogs' hole?

Edit: Dang, you thought of that, too!


2:05 - 3:54
Spike: Last night u specifically said I need to get more rest for tomorrow so WE can clean up the castle of the 2 sisters then u say oh sorry U don't need help! 🤨

Spike: Last night u specifically said I need to get more rest for tomorrow so *WE* can clean up the castle of the 2 sisters then u say oh sorry *U* don't need help! 🤨


the official ones

   Twilight Sparkle/Masked Matter-Horn: Cyclops
   Applejack/Mistress Mare-velous: Batman/Wonder Woman
   Pinkie Pie/Fili-Second: The Flash
   Rarity/Radiance: Green Lantern
   Rainbow Dash/Zapp: Thor/Storm
   Fluttershy/Saddle Rager: Hulk
   Spike/Hum Dum: Robin

My opinion is that Rarity is Star Sapphire because it matches the color and its a female only lantern corp and Rarity is all about being a lady.

@@Anthony-eo3ro yeah but those are the officals

@@NicWir True, that's why I said it's my opinion, which is based on facts, in my defense.

Is Filli-Second's civilian name related to any Flash? Because I think she could just be a generic speed hero reference, which includes Quick Silver.


Twilight is either Dr Strange. From marvel. Or Zatara/Zatana from DC universe


16:32 NoPONY indeed. © Rarity, few years later


Pinkie Pie vs. Discord<br>Who would win? Honestly?

I bought some blind bags and managed to catch myself my favourite Power Pony! :D

https://youtu.be/HBezr5RA2Y0


This was probably my least favorite episode


DC;
Twilight; Batman (eh...)
Pinkie; The Flash
Rainbow; Shazam
Rarity; Green Lantern
Applejack; Wonder Woman
Fluttershy; ???
Spike; Robin
The Maniac; Mr. Freeze

Marvel;
Twilight; Iron Man
Pinkie; Quick Silver
Rainbow; Thor/Storm
Rarity; Doctor Strange
Applejack; ???
Fluttershy; Hulk

I wanna see Superfriendship is Magic! My old fan-roster was similar to that of Power Ponies, only with bad names: Pinkie was The Flank, Rarity was Green Envy (Her dislike of green hair? Just a cover for her secret identity), and AJ was simply WonderJack. After that, I had Superdash, Batmare and Dragin, and The Savage Flutterhawk. Minor "comic relief" characters Blue Beetle and Booster Gold would be Snips and Snails as Dung Beetle and Rooster Gold. I guess these days you could slap a blonde beard on Bulk Biceps and call him Seahorse.

the Officals are these

            Twilight Sparkle/Masked Matter-Horn: Cyclops
            Applejack/Mistress Mare-velous: Batman/Wonder Woman
            Pinkie Pie/Fili-Second: The Flash
            Rarity/Radiance: Green Lantern
            Rainbow Dash/Zapp: Thor/Storm
            Fluttershy/Saddle Rager: Hulk
            Spike/Hum Dum: Robin

From DC, The Maniac is The Joker; from Marvel, The Maniac is Doc Oc.<br>Applejack could be somewhat based on Captain Marvel, but with Wonder Woman's lasso instead of Marvel's near invulnerability. As for Fluttershy's DC counterpart, I'm most familiar with Teen Titans and Justice League, and I don't know anyone from either comic series with that specific body-altering ability.

<b>Insert Justice league unlimited theme here</b>

I really like Twilight power costume here)


Also the actor for Fluttershy screwed over her voice doing that Hulk voice.
