My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - Page 515

Loads of funny moments. Fluttershy still assertive about avoiding dragons.
The dragon from Dragonshy reappeared - CONTINUITY!
Spike is best pony, now complete with phoenix pet.
Dragon raids are full of casuals and noobs. Spike pulled aggro like a scrub before buffs.
You know how real shit is when Rarity is willing to fight. Also, no compromises will be made for fabulousness.

Loved it. I figured at some point it would be more of a euphamism for rejecting the typical "macho" male identity, considering Spike basically hangs around a bunch of girls all day. But they didn't really drive it home, which was a good decision, and the comparison between Spike and the pheonix egg was a good emotional aspect. It is kind of weird that they just took the egg though.

Then again...The egg seemed to be abondoned so I guess it's not that bad (better then leaving it to those horrid dragons). Also, this episode confirms the badassery of a phoenix, and how adorable their young are. Still, I feel like they should resolve that somehow, even if it is in passing. The family might miss that egg...

Fluttershy would've been great in this episode for some more comedic effect, with her whole fear of dragons. Makes sense though, she wouldn't care about seeing a bunch of "scary dragons" migrating, but we need more Fluttershy. That's all really. EDIT: I actually missed the prologue, so I didn't realize she was in the episode at all, but even then, my point still stands.

I'm also curious as to what that letter said.

Good episode. Funny, lively, very good moral that was executed very well.

especially for a MW episode o_O - Soleron won't know what he'll miss out on (though to be fair, the characters /were/ mean like in other MW episodes, but it wasn't annoying in this one; I mean who hasn't actually met people like the stereotypical ones those dragons portrayed?)

the ep was incredibly well-paced, the visuals were awesome, a lot of cool lore like phoenixes with new abilities that will be added in HotS, Fluttershy still keeping her assertiveness and beating up RD, and Rarity being both kinda like a caricature but also still seemingly being in character and actually funny despite that, so I wasn't that annoyed at the exaggerations, and a lot of continuity which is always welcome and gives me not nerdchills but brony chills

plus a lot of stuff that I'll need to rewatch the ep for to really catch

also I could relate a lot to Spike
