This was easily the funniest episode you've ever done. The red bull joke was great, as well as dragon's part and the Celestia and luna comic part. And in-between there were just a lot of stuff that made me laugh. :D Also liked the continuity from the Christmas special and earlier episodes. James David is a great addition to cast!
Also, Cris's line at the very end was kinda hilarious. XD
I had fun editing this. although the original version which I made wasn't exactly great. Looks better when it's all touched up. Great episode nonetheless. :) I look forward to editing and doing better things with episode 8.
Read the comments before I watched the video ...was confused asf. I really like how despite the fact that this is just an abridged series it somehow manages to teach good lessons kinda like the real one
Judging by the "fuck off" thing and the testicle character, I've come to the conclusion that you must really like Rick and Morty. Adding more references and joke from there can only end well.
This is honestly the magic of abridged series, you start with something fun, entertaining, and really comedic. While also making it very unreal and insane for the characters personalities. And yet those outlandish jokes, quirks, and personalities grow into something stronger. They become part of the story and even provide deep emotional moments from something that started off as a simple gag. The first Halloween special was a great way to show how close twilight and her friends had come and the Christmas special not only gave a much more somber and emotion filled story, it also demonstrated how far twilight had come while also keeping the fic in the realm of classic friendship is for adults. Then you had the Halloween special numero 2. Its was spectacular! It was amazing to see the development between spike and twilight and the return of the master. And I defiantly feel the master was a really good villian and got a proper send off. And the way you hinted at something secret being kept from twilight had me really engaged. And WOOOOOOO THE ORIGIN SPECIAL! I loved this one so much. Back to what I was saying before you took those silly little gags and jokes and you provided a reason for them to exist and also provided a reason for the much more sofisticated and not as insane versions of the mane 6 to happen. It was so cool to know how twilight got sent to ponyville. The valentine special was also just so sweet and I loved it alot as well. Twidash forever :). Its a shame that you guys probably aren't going to finish the series, but it was a damn good one and one of the best abridged/audio drama mlp fan series I've come across so far. Thank you for the bueatiful content!
I found this episode very amusing, from celestia's subtle sense of humor to the elements beating each other up to show they care for each other, as well as the first mention of rarity having a kid cannon to the series outside of the crossover.
During the Celestia and Luna bit towards the end, I cannot help but picture Star Butterfly from 'Star vs the Forces of Evil'. Celestia's tone brings that face to mind.
So what is your canon explanation for not bringing Spike, a dragon, along for the ride if you are going to confront a dragon? He would make a terrific asset, especially if there are tensions between the races/species. It didn't make sense not to bring Spike in the original episode, so perhaps you can make sense of it here?
Spike is more pony than dragon. That dragon and him probably wouldn't have had much in common. Hasn't Spike failed to get along with every dragon he's run into in FIM?
There's actually a scene that didn't make it into this episode that may have explained that kinda. We might make it someday.
My thought is that Twi didn't want her little bro anywhere near this dangerous mission. Avalance zone, giant dragon. Twilight does care about Spike n_n
I thought some of the tone for Celestia was a bit off from what we've seen so far, but the whole "sense of humor" part makes a lot more jive with my pet theory of who Twilight's father is.
We're not gonna be answering any more questions about it so we don't give the answer away, but one of your thoughts is a lot closer than the others. We'll also say that Pearl Jam's 'mamasan' trilogy heavily influenced Twi's story :3
It just occurred to me that Dash doesn't have much of a reason to not know what feet are because of your Equestria's apparent common knowledge of humans. This at least applies to Dash because she knows about Scooby Doo and the gang, in their human form.
Luna and Celestia know about humans, not our Equestria.
We talked about ponifying the Scooby Doo gang for the scene, but decided it best for the joke to keep them in their normal forms cuz who the fucks gonna know ponified Biff? Basically though the audience is seeing them normal and Dash is seeing them as ponies. If we ever do a similar scene with Dash whatever characters we throw in also may not ponified in the drawing but we can assume they're ponified to Dash.
Our main 6 did encounter humans (or human-esq at least) in the Halloween Special (Dr. Frankenstein, Good Spike, the Cenobites), but given the circumstances they just assumed they were all horrifying monsters and didn't given too much thought.
I'll wait to the commentary cause that may give context and stuff, but to be honest the whole Rainbow, Rarity, Futtershy thing kinda felt just thrown in and the resulting felt like a cop out. It just made the whole episode weird for me. But still laughed, and it all around was a good episode
+Al Jax Oh I gotta question. I know you're only doing season 1, but have you ever considered doing like an Equestria Girls mini series or something. Like break the movie up in to episodes and stuff. Just wondering if it ever crossed you mind.
Ok, stupid auto-play ate my comment. Best I can remember...
I find the scene where Twilight doesn't know how domming works more amusing than I should.
Fuckoffleave is said as one word, but from the explanation it doesn't sound like it's supposed to be.
Heh, Twilight Zone.
I laughed at the 'lessons' part. When did they learn any of that? I expected Twilight to lampshade the fact that we never actually heard them learn any such thing (except maybe Fluttershy).
Isn't that crazy I want to be in the royal guard and I'm under Princess Luna and Cadence's command; even knowing the track record of the royal guard's losing streak I still want to be part of it so I may be able to do better and be the soldier for Equestria! It's inside more better trained with the assistance from my family in my training. I bet I can go toe-to-toe with the mane 6 with my Armour, Javelin, Spear, Sword, Crossbow, & Determination!

1 likeI thought some of the tone for Celestia was a bit off from what we've seen so far, but the whole "sense of humor" part makes a lot more jive with my pet theory of who Twilight's father is.
2 likesWhat's your theory?
1 likeI see several possibilities. Funnily most of the things that make me suspicious are throwaway or offhand comments. The Chekovās Gun you dropped about Celestia having kids and leaving them with good families along with Applejackās comment of ābiting the hand that feedsā points towards Celestia being her biological parent, and maybe Iām just looking for a plot twist when there isnāt one, but I think thatās a red herring. Iād love for Twilight to be somehow Lunaās daughter/descendant, and itās not like that stuff hasnāt been explained away before by other people, but thatās mostly wish fulfilment on my end (I just love the dynamic between the two of them).
0 likesCelestia lusting after Twilight leads me to think that maybe Twi looks like one of Celestiaās lovers (and possibly a descendant of said). Many would say that the whole lust thing brings up incest if thatās the case, but really, the taboo against incest is at least in part because of genetic defects due to inbreeding. A) that may or may not already be happening among the nobility, and B) this world is populated by magical colorful ponies who have banished at least one eldritch god, so normal logic doesnāt really apply. That said, I already stated above that I think the mommy-lestia is a red herring. I canāt lay my final claim on an individual until I see what the cannon vocation for Night Light and Twilight Twinkle (for example they might be secret service, or maybe nobles themselves), as that could add weight to one theory or another in terms of how they became a cover family.
If I was forced to give a prediction without some more facts, my gut tells me that Twilight is some illegitimate/bastard child of a noble (and yes, that includes the alicorns, as clichĆ© as that answer is). And my gut has yet to do anything to me besides demand food so Iām gonna stick with it.
Nice theory!
