"Just how powerful is this guy?"

He's pretty powerful. Like- Discord levels of powerful.


The Villain songs in MLP are some of the best in cartoon history imo.

This Day Aria, the songs on Hearth's warming episode at season 6, and A Better Way to be Bad are all good.

Not to mention every song by the Sirens of EqG.

As usual the villains get the best songs


The log that Chrysalis was holding is Mean Twilight, well, what it left of her.

I wonder if she left the rest of the Mean 6 or brought the logs with her and to this day when Chrysalis is petrified the logs are still there in Grogars lair😂


The villains bonding over their love for Twilight's freak-outs? I can relate.


17:04 "Where are your parents, Cozy Glow?"
Whoever they are, I bet they'd make Spoiled Rich seem like a Parent of the Year candidate by comparison.


Chrysalis's log is actually what left of mean twilight, good thing that cozy didn't come in in a more inappropriate moment...


It is nice to see Chrysalis actually using her Changeling powers in clever and practical ways in this episode, considering how rarely we see Thorax or Ocellus doing so.


One of my favourite episodes in the series. Mainly because it was about the villains. Their chemistry is just amazing. And that song was just great.

Yes! Also mein. I love these episodes about villains in this season. 😁


3:17 "I love Cozy."
It's way more fun watching that little filly screw with the bad guys than it was to watch her screw with the good guys.


Tirek: “So much POWER!!”

Me: Who does he think he is, Jafar?

Let's hope that Bewitching Bell doesn't have a safety catch like a can of pepper spray, or else those three will have infinite cosmic power, albeit in an itty bitty living space.


20:53 It was at that moment that PonyBro's roommates entered the room, spelling out his eternal doom. It is said that his heart shrunk three sizes that day; all that love and all he got was a can of pepper spray.


I love how goofy and childish the villains act, but they straight up try to murder Twilight and her friends, the juxtaposition of how they can go from loveable jerks to straight up psychos is hilarious as it is scary


2:51 "Dude, you're just sitting on his barbell?"
I doubt Tirek even felt the difference.  :)


This is a fantastic episode. Seeing the three villains in an episode together is fantastic. The backdrop plot is really good. The way it ended is really interesting.


Cozy: "Golly, it must get lonely here.  You look like you could use a... friend.  A very... special friend..."

And Rusty Bucket was never seen again.


Chrysalis: “The magic of friendship is like a disease.” <br>Me: Yeah, a good disease that's harmless.

Chrysalis: “The magic of friendship is like a disease.”
Me: Yeah, a good disease that's harmless.

To be fair, for changelings what she said is far more literal. It doesn't apply to any of the other villians here, but she has good reason to be wary.

I mean, obviously it's a disease with a good outcome, but she doesn't view it that way.


7:34 "They're like... arguing siblings."
Does that make Grogar the cranky grandpa?


When Chrysalis said "do it" i could cry. İ dont know why but since those words Chrysalis is my favourite character


Grogar may be powerful, but he's also arrogant enough to believe that three power-hungry sociopaths would remain loyal to him just because he says so...especially when they decide to work together.


Chrysalis used Seduction.<br>It's super effective!

Chrysalis used Seduction.
It's super effective!


This plot driven episode is freakin awesome! I wanted an all villains episode this season and I was delighted that this very episode was given to us! The interactions between the villains is very well written and I like the premise of this episode.

The villain song is top tier too! It’s very rare to have a villain song in this show. Usually, we get these kind of songs with Equestria Girls. So, this latest addition to the franchise was a real treat.

This was the one episode that I started to warm up to Cozy Glow. She seems a lot more tolerable as a comic relief villain than a big time villain like Tirek and Chrysalis, that’s how I feel at least. I like her now, but to a certain degree.

Now that the Terrible Trio (that’s what I call Tirek, Chyssy, and Cozy’s group) has agreed to to form their own alliance against Grogar, things are gonna go down in the upcoming episodes. This is truly one of the best episodes of the season and in the show as well!


Such an amazing departure from following our heroes to see the magnificence of their enemies.  A way to step it up a notch so the villains are more developed, and more real feeling, and a real, genuine threat.  Also, more amazing world building.  That song twists up the emotions something fierce, right?  Gotta love Chryssie's reactions to realization that they might need "friends" to win.

As a side note, a suggestion on the finale.

Given how fast you've been going through the whole series, it may be worth taking those last episodes on a day of their own. A time when you can savour it, so they're not at the tail end of a long cascade of other (also fantastic) episodes, and give yourself time to emotionally breathe, and of course rest.

In fact, you could do what a colleague of yours, Raven Reacts, recently did on a finale, and do it as a livestream.

You'd probably have to do a practice run on something else.  Contingency plans.  Risk nothing. ;)

Anyway.  Whether you do that or not, it's an amazing ride.  And most of us aren't going anywhere. :)


Wow...... cozy glow is crazy but adorable
 That why i call her "crazy glue" ♧♧♧♧♧♧
 😂😂😂😂😂


Eh, Rusty Bucket seems pretty stable compared to the poor Station Pony from "Sounds of Silence," who went Full Crazy Ralph from his isolation. (On the downside and as a VERY MINOR not-even-a-spoiler, Rusty neglects to report three of Equestria's most dangerous fugitives attempting to scale the mountain. But then, prisoners in Tartarus seem to be very poorly monitored in the first place.)

Hilarious how they add more security to the castle rather then where their lands biggest threats are at


This episode is so awesome. I never expected a villain episode, but it was perfect. Also, great song.


20:50 In season 4 princesses were singing 'as love finds a place in every heart' and here is shown that even in Chrysalis' heart. =) I love it!

Now this one is one of my favourites of the show! Easily one of the most enjoyable. I kept watching this on repeat and I love the song! Another one of my favourite songs of the show !


Fun Fact: That bull-snake creature is a Greek mythological creature called an Ophiotaurus.

I wonder if there were any Greek creatures they didn't get around to using.

Crimson Prose Harpies, Gorgons, Nymphs, etc. The list of Greek creatures that the show hasn’t covered is pretty long.

The Ophiotaurus is from Greek mythology? I didn't know that. Thank you.


Chrysalis, don't lie to yourself. You know how much you like friendship. I've sen the way you snuggle with you-know-who all the time.


One of the best episodes of the season!  :D


Second-best episode of season 9! (not counting the premiere, finale & epilogue, of course)


When it comes to MLP FIM, there is not a bad villain song. They are all fucking amazing. Even the villain  songs from the Equestria Girls movies are good. It is like Daniel Ingram is incapable of making a bad villain song.

Very true. And when you throw film and flam into the “villain” category there’s even more great songs in my opinion

PonyBro I Guess yeah. And Open Up Your Eyes from the movie.


Grogar has power on a scale of over 9000!

Tirek: "Chrysalis, what does the scouter say about his power level?"

Chrysalis: "IT'S... 1006."

Tirek: "What, really?"

Chrysalis: "Yep, kick his ass Tirek."

Tirek: "Yay!" [Proceeds to get his ass kicked]

Chrysalis: "Wait a minute..." [takes off scouter] "I had the scouter on upside down. It's 9001."

Vegeta: Stop asking that!  No one cares anymore!


I can't wait for him to react to the Finale!!! i am so excited!!!!


This was a perfect villian concept and a good episode though there were just a few things I wish were different I still liked it.


17:04 ponybro: where are your parents cozy glow

Cozy glow: meh they got in my way so I made em disappear


The song here where they went actively looking for Superior Methods to be Evil made me lose any hope they would be reformed.

All reformations in this show involved the villain being taught the ways of friendship, or a friendship issue being solved, or an evil corruption being destroyed.

None of this is applicable to the Legion of Doom. They reap what they sow.


Technically Terek got handed twice once even by his brother now that's what Chrysalis can criticise him for


20:30 when i watched this for the first time i was sure that they were going to be reform. But i was wrongm


15:39
Dear princess pudimhead today I learn...


(11:36) Oh, she’s gonna be pissed.

A callback to the journal from Season 7’s Fame and Misfortune.


Not to be spoilery or anything ponybro but don't be too excited about grogar please don't have too high of expectations I was excited as fuck too when I first started season 9


Not gonna lie, I thought it was a dildo too and I can still see it.


A dildo, really? Did you already forget what happened to Mean Twilight and the rest of the Mean Six? That wasn't even so long ago for you.


Chrysalis' "dildo" is the evil Twilight from the Mean Six episode that got turned into a log.


Cozy Glow’s true colors makes her the equivalent of Darla Dimple.
