Unicorns are actually not overpowered. Starlight Glimmer is the only unicorn who is overpowered. ✨😃


Starlight was trying too hard to solve things with magic here. What she had to do just couldn't be done that way. It's "Friendship is Magic", not "Magic is Friendship".

Which is why making the episode's title a reference to the song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" was such a brilliant move.  In fact, that title described Starlight's approach to solving a lot of problems, not just the one in this episode.


You don’t use magic to control your friends. We have been over this, Starlight.


I'm so glad you realized that Starlight seems to have a lot of anxiety and that's why she does a lot of crazy things like this- I think this episode was definitely a big step for her


Most of Applejack's statements about the pictures were actually references.

Jaws, Predator, Notting Hill, Braveheart, and Spider-Man.

@@rydermccall3590 And A Tale of Two Cities.


One of my favorite episodes of all time. Love seeing devious Starlight.


This is my 10th best episode in the series. Starlight is relatable. The hypnotized five are great. Applejack spouting movie quotes is great.

The other five looking hung over afterwards was also hilarious.


Mind control time :P. This is my favorite episode of the season.


Ponybro: Unicorns are overpowered.

Not really if u recall boast busters in season 1 twi said that most unicorns only have basic magic and a little more related to their talent.

so thos means that Sparkle, Glimmer, and Shimmer are the ones that have some sort of talent related to magic itself. and since we know that Twi represents the element of magic is most likely that the other two have a similar talent.

Well, two of them were in Celestia's school for gifted Unicorns (Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer). Sunburst has been there too until he dropped out. As well as Moondancer. (Wihch makes me wonder: Lyra was there too. Does it mean that she's got some special talent for Magic as well? :> )  Starlight, however, is a self-taught natural, I guess (unless there's some mysterious connection between her and Sunburst?...)

@@bonbonpony well sunburst know almost everything about magic there is so, one could say that His talent is magic knowledge while Starlight Is raw power and twiggles Is a mix of both. As for Sunny she used to be Celestia's top student so there must be a connection between all of them.

@@bonbonpony as for Moondancer and Lyra since we never saw any display of powerfull magic from the two of them like laser beams or teleportation like we did with twi and sunset  back at EQG

And as stated later in the series teleportation is a very hard spell to do as well as age spells back at magic duel when Trixie had the allicorn amulet or the wings that Twilight Made for Rarity in Sonic Rainboom.

@@carlosresendiz8683 I saw you wrote "mágico" before editing it to "magic". Do you know Spanish per chance? Maybe you could teach me some Spanish? I like learning languages (that's part of my job as a spy :) )

@@bonbonpony In fact I do speak spanish. Actually I live in Mexico so my phone is in spanish by default so It changes words all the time.


5:35 "Do you know how much I would pay to spend time with Fluttershy?"
I'm not sure I can even count that high...


The episode title "Every Little Thing She Does" is referencing the song "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic", which fits Starlight Glimmer perfectly.  She tries to solve every problem with magic.


Starlight commanding her friends to do their respective tasks seems simple, but then it goes through a Sorcerer's Apprentice scenario where the tasks go out of control and the teacher must correct it in the end.


I love how reference filled this one is, although the fact that Starlight jumped straight to mind control is a bit concerning.


8:02 Ok, this is the best face made by Pinkie yet, that's hilasious.


5:17 Why does Starlight Glimmer have kites in her room?  I didn't think she was the kite-flying type.

"I really like kites"<br>-starlight glimmer to maud, some time in season 7 or 8

"I really like kites"
-starlight glimmer to maud, some time in season 7 or 8

@@k4ss_nymphenkora Technically, the way she said it, in response to Maud talking about how passionate she is about rocks, was "I like... kites.", then smiling and staring awkwardly while waiting for Maud's reaction.

Edit: Oh wait, you were right.   She DOES also say, "I really like kites" later in the same episode, to explain why she knew so much about how they work.

If you didn't point this out, I wouldn't notice this detail. This is even before meeting Maud wow

@@Phoenix1024 It's amazing how much the writers planned out in advance, even the little details that don't seem important to the overall plot.


Is is just me or is this VERY similar to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice?!  Solving things with magic when you DON’T fully understand it?  Cutting corners on lessons with magic?  I LOVED IT!


This episode is a lot better than I remember it being.


0:45 "You been up all night, guys?  Same."
Except in their case, they had much better company.  ;)


Starlight actually shows a LOT of the symptoms of PTSD during this season, and still has elements of it even at the end of the series.


I would totally Chillax with Rainbow dash.😎


no one notices the fact that them cleaning the castle involves setting up the spider webs again instead of taking them down.

As an amateur entomologist, I see nothing wrong with that 😁


I like this episode because we can see more interaction between starlight and the mane 5


(3:13) Starlight’s version of the Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Or the Flash's time remnant since she used speed to do it.


I relate to Starlight on a personal level. Making good impressions can be hard.


I'm pretty sure the title is a song reference.  "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" by The Police.

Which is pretty clever, when you think about it.  Starlight's whole thing was that she tried to use magic to solve any problem she ran into.  You could even say it was her primary character flaw.

@@Narrator007 Yup!  And don't forget the part of the song that's most relevant to Starlight:
"Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turn me on"


"Why do we fall?"  "To learn how to get up."  Starlight makes a lot of mistakes, during the course of her story, but each time she comes back better than before, in spite of her own lack of self-confidence.  It's one of the reasons I love her!


Despite the weird hate this episode got i really enjoyed this episode. It had a lot of great moments in it.

Did anyone else get alot of enjoyment out this episode??

If so what is your favorite moment??

I love it. Didn't see anyone but Starlight haters hate it, to be honest.<br>My fav moments have to be when Spike visits Starlight's room, Fluttershy having all the crawlies all over her, and the "hangover" scene.

Starlight is relatable to me in so many ways.

I like this episode but I understand why some people don't like it.

There's a lot of unexplained hate this season, I never figured out what was the reason behind that and why did it surface in season 6 in particular, because most of the episodes in season 6 were pretty solid, no worse than in previous seasons. Maybe season 5 was too good and raised the bar too high for many people? I don't know, but that's rather not it, because there were people who said that to them season 5 was bad :q<br>As for this episode, it's definitely one of my favourites too. It shows a lot of different aspects of Starlight's personality, her unique talent for magic, and how much power does she have but not quite control it yet. There was a lot of funny moments and interesting interactions between Starlight and the mane six, and it seems that they finally start bonding. I can't really say anything bad about this episode, so I don't get the hate the slightest.

I think my favorite moments were catching Applejack's film and literary references.

@@bonbonpony I know a lot of it was flat out starlight hate. Because a bunch people felt like she was stealing the spotlight from the mane 6 & didn't want her in a main, supporting of background role. It was certainly the case with some people on Equestria daily & Derpibooru.

@@grace19005 Oh really? Can you tell some more? I couldn't figure out the reasons behind that hate, so your observations might be interesting.<br>@Josh Blackwell:  Star wars hate?  o.O

00:10 "Every little thing she does IS MAGIC" :)  It's a song by Sting ;)  And it describes Starlight Glimmer pretty well :)
01:35 Starlight is Captain America ;)
02:54 And now she's Flash. Looks like she could replace a bunch of superheroes single-hoofedly :J
04:50 Not only that, but there's also a crossed-over equal sign. Looks like Starlight Glimmer is not for equality anymore :q
06:30 Starlight: "Hold my cider" ;)
06:56 Actually, both are wrong. The original French pronunciation was different, something in the lines of "fwoy-Ey".
07:32 Oh yeah? Try chillaxing in the middle of a swimming pool full of sharks ;)
07:45 The lyrics were from the song from "Lazy Town" :)
08:00 Pinkie Pie is very Looney Tunes-like this season :q
09:14 Only what she does the best :>  Mind control ;>
13:13 All those photos and stories told by AJ were references to different movies. "Forrest Gump", "Predator", "Braveheart", "Spiderman"... things like that ;)
14:16 Paralyzed mindless Pinkie – could there be anything more disturbing? :q
14:37 OK, I guess I got my answer.... :S
18:00 Hangover much? :J
18:26 "Fluttershy, please, you're blinking too loud" :)
19:02 Unless it's a spell that turns you into a Dragon, or a Phoenix, right, Rainbow Dash? ;>  Remember when you wanted that in the Breezies episode? ;>
22:08 That water flowing in a circle in the end might be symbolic: it says that Starlight came the full circle and her Friendship training is now complete. Magical energy flowing in a circle or a lemniscate are popular symbols in occult symbolism to express mastery of someone's training, completeness, perfection, dynamic balance and stability. So you're right with your afterthoughts. (And you said you're not an analyst? ;> )
23:53 Not only that, but this might be the first time she actually apologized on screen for what she did wrong. Until this episode, many people were complaining about that, saying that Starlight's reformation was rushed and forced because she never apologized for her evil deeds. But this time, she did apologize, with all honesty. There's no redemption without apologizing and compensating the bad things done to others, and we got all those things in this episode.
24:00 You haven't seen badass Starlight yet ;)  So I'm pretty sure you will like her even more when the time comes :>


I find this Starlight episode to be rather fun and interesting. While it is true that things get very creepy with the whole mind control situation and all (and I do still get creeped out by the robotic dialogue of the Mane 5 to this day), but this story is still pretty good in my opinion.


3:13 Starlight: "...You can literally be in two places at once!"
Every stallion's dream, right?  ;)

Maybe more than two. You know, all the beautiful mares and...


That's what I love about Starlight. As a former villain, she has a completely different idea of solving problems and this is not only hilarious, but also super cool, because sometimes ponies need hard methods.


I assume Starlight is more powerful than unicorns!💫


Btw, as for the title of the episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxkMFgFjC8E


no twilight powerful then starlight because she is alicorn twilight can do the same spell as starlight but better and powerful 😎


Who are you and what have you done with twilight sparkle


Can't beat goku or hyper archie sonic tho

@@supersonic2175she banished a chaos god's entire body from a place, mind controlled her friends, went back in time further back then the greatest unicorn we've ever known of was able to go, was right on twilights level of alicorn magic in battle (maybe even a little more powerful), and replaced the cutie marks with nothing but her own magic, and reformed an entire race without her magic. <br>I think she could do it.

I think she could do it.

@@k4ss_nymphenkora 1st. Goku could easily dodge that attack
2nd. Goku can’t be mind controlled because of power difference aka he can overcome the control with his power
3rd. She could kill goku going back in time but that wouldn’t affect the current goku since millions of timelines exist in dragon ball
4th. Goku doesn’t have a cutie mark

@@supersonic2175 but how would Goku defeat starlight? She can teleport, she has shown superspeed, she has self-duplication, and has invisibility spells.
 Also, the argument of "he has power so he can just overcome the mind control" is... Well, I don't think it's the best argument.
And how would he Dodge the attack? Yeah, it's a possibility, but there's a higher chance he just wouldn't be expecting it.
And if he does dodge it, there's still all these other crazy powerful things starlight can do.
I want to know what he can do against her, what he would do in battle, how he dodges it.
You can't just say "he more power" and boom, he's the best. Explain how he's more powerful, explain why he would win.

Unless you don't wanna.
If you don't wanna, then have a nice day.
