Differences in philosophies leave Brawny uncertain of how to resume his training. So Backboard has him read a newspaper article about a fashion show put on by Rarity and judged by Applejack to get some clarity on a similar issue. This is either a really good idea or a horrible mistake.
I did not enjoy this episode as I watched it. Frankly, I've never seen Applejack be this far off the deep end before. Or at least, not when it didn't involve some kind of conundrum with her family. And even then, she can manage at least a semblance of tact.
I can get behind the idea of understanding that not everything is as objective as one might think. But that requires balance as well, which this show is usually much better at. Without that balance, it's just heavy-handed - which only works for simpler lessons like we might find in episodes from the first two seasons.
So what's left to do but meme it up as much as possible? be sure to let me know what you think.

OMG THANK YOU! Finally someone besides me who believes Rarity caused a lot of problems too! A lot of people were mad at AJ (and rightly so), but Rarity was just at fault as AJ. Plus as an artist myself, (even though I do fine arts) I felt insulted by what Rarity said. She implied that artists couldn't be practical in their critiques and that really made me angry because in college I had to learn how to give and receive critiques in my fine art classes. And they ALWAYS have to be objective too. In this episode a lot of the 'critiques' were deplorable because the judges basically said what one of my old professors would call, "Artistic mumbo jumbo". There's a reason why this episode is my worst from S7 and it's easily one of my worst of the Series too.
Interesting to see background cameos from Ribonchan and Speedy Tempo, the skits were interesting, Animelodie, Crimson Glow, and Looney Turtle did well with their roles, and I'm glad to have reprised my role as Backboard Buck again!
That fight scene was the most amazingly animated I have ever seen with Brony vectors. Incredible work, Brawny, really. I was at the edge of my seat with my mouth agape while watching that bit.
Yay!!!! We meet Master West finally!!!!
Edit: Also I love how Master West after you shouted "an opening!", he no shulontly says "there is none😎".
8:50 fun fact: that orange Pegasus OC in the back is me. and I’m also a black belt in karate in real life so this “cameo” completes me! 😁
Excellent content as always, Brawny! I'm sorry I had to suspend my Patreon subscription, but my financial situation changed and I am currently unable to continue. However, rest assured that as soon as my financial situation stabilizes, I'll be back with an even higher pledge than previously!
Brawny: AN OPENING!
S.West: There is none.
HA Jojo refference. Also great points as usual. Glad to see you back.
(Edit: Also DEATH BATTLE!!!! Sweet! That had to take *litterally* for-ev-er to animate! And I should know, I've got an animation degree. *receives a well deserved buck to the face* Oh, so that's why it's called that…… *faints*)
With all of the Equestria girls villains there seems to be a theme:
Equestrian magic in the human world seems to have the side effect of removing inhibitions.
Even Sunset makes a comment before she starts fighting for the crown that she “isn’t a monster.” And in fact it’s listening to the girls congratulate twilight that pushes her over the edge.
With a surprise look on her face when she puts on the crown and the tears during her transformation it’s entirely possible that even though her demon self says so I don’t think she really was intending to try to take over Equestria with a teenage army.
Next we have Midnight sparkle, Who seems to be the equivalent of twilights desire to learn without any care for consequences or others well-being. Sure she was an all powerful sorceress at that point, but it would been just as fitting for her to be the equivalent of a mad scientist.
And now with Gloriosa once the power took over to the point where it changed her she seem to have it in her head that creating this wall of thorns around the entire camp was a good idea.
But that same power is able to be used without reprisal by the hu-main 7 most likely because a strong Moral compass (A.k.a. their element) with the fact that they have each other to fall back on to keep them from going overboard.
Are you in the right video?
@@thegoodwitchluzura this was intended for the legend of everfree video.
I don’t know how it ended up here.
*Sees Rarity rocking out on a guitar*
Wait, where's the freaky electric chicken, Red hot chilli pepper?
Excellent review Brawny, can't wait for the next instalment of Brawny Buck's Exciting Adventures.
Well, we found out why it took so long for this video to come out.
That fight scene alone would have taken a couple of long hours to make the new models, choreographing, editing, and having a actual life would take awhile.
There is one reason why Applejack could have reasonably been brought in as a judge. That is if functionality was a challenge of the contest. For example, if they were designing uniforms or costumes for a performance then someone with a more practical bent MAYBE a good idea. I have seen art projects where this was a part of the criteria.
The execution of the primary lesson was iffy, but I REALLY liked the secondary lesson this episode is preaching: don't get your friends involved with everything they do. That's pretty remarkable for this show, which tries to insist that literally everything you can do is improved in the presence of friends. More useful than "everyone is a winner."
3:59 Kinda reminds me about how Masterchef works with the three chefs going around offering advice and critique. You can choose not to take the advice admittedly (unless your serving others in a team challenge) but largely if you don't take their advice and you dish is the worst well they warned you
7:31 Actually from Webster's Dictionary:
: in effect : virtually -used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible yeah it's been used so much in this way it's in the dictionary now
Hooray, a new Brawny video!
YA
The Quest for Healing continues! With hopefully MORE epic fights. Or, at least comedic offscreen beatdowns.
P.S.: Glad to see you again Brawny!
That fight was really well done 👍
It’s good to see you back.
Hehe, using That 70's Show references should at least involve Red Forman.
Uh Brawny...You know people call me a Disco ball, right? Sooo technically that'd be me XD Love the video though!
I agree to come to the Wing Chun class, and i get folded. I DEMAND A REMATCH!
ArcherRedArrow lucky
Trust me when I say, you're probably not going to win. Unless you have experience with magic bullshit, and whipping that out seems unfair.
Horray welcome back
That's a very in-depth news article.
Hi, Brawny! It's me! Good to see you're well!
Neat! A good review with a fun "little" fight at the end. :)
Also more insight and personal advice from Brawny, which is always a good thing in my book. :)
This is one of my favorite episodes in MLP and you NAILED it in terms of what's going on in this episode! I love how this episode pokes fun at every featured pony's narrow-minded mindset AND we get a solution to the problem in the episode. Okay, except for Strawberry Sunrise and her self-character assassination because her narrow-minded mindset hasn't changed for the better. >_<
Also, great work on the other parts of this video, and it's not just as a casual fighting game guy and into some self-defense. :D
She HAD to have been 100% with the Pears.
Okay, can you PLEASE make more fighting animations, cause that was awesome.
You know I usually enjoy your videos but this one had my laughing all through it with things like the pony in that disco ball walking down the street and causing devestation everywhere around them with the light reflections. The expressions on Gale Forces face at the accademy were also well done.
Awesome fight scene, Brawny!!
"What kind of show are you running, Rarity?" A shitshow.
Amazing work as always Brawny
That karate class scene though
Ok... Potential stalkers - Pinkie, Scootaloo, & Spike.. Greeeaaaaat
I do go in and out on the brony analyst community, but I really love Brawny's story and how it develops during some of his reviews!
Awesome fight scene!
Awesome and funny review, Brawny
A fight scene worthy of dragonballZ.
Only without 13 episodes of filler and 12 episodes of yelling. ;)
Sweet!
Brawny's stats are high for a four star monster. Good card though.
11:01 an opening! There is none!
I have a question for you Brawny Buck. Was Apple Bloom Wearing an actually scarf or was she wearing a bow as a scarf because Apple Jack told Apple Bloom she doesn't need a fancy scarf to keep her hat on but it also kinda looked like her bow?
Can someone answer me that please?
Love your reviews Brawny!!! :DDD
10:30 the best scene of the video is here
Its 11:43 pm and the discow ball
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAHHHAHAHAH
Wait can alicorns join the academey?
Time to Fight : 10:35
3:46
You’ve never seen the show Face off have you?
It’s about a contest between make up and costume artists. And yes in production phase they do give advice to the contestants.
5:01 😮 since when rarity become a guitarist!?
More overarching storyline! I love it!
Also, very accurate that I would wind up with my neck bent at a weird angle against a doorframe after sparring with just about anyone, let alone someone with a head that feels like punching a steel girder.
I loved that fight at the end. It was really well done. Great review too. Let's of good jokes.
seriously though what happened to his wings? I'm starting to think they were chopped off or something
Glad I'm not the only one thinking this
@@hannahbauer5650 It was explained in his 3K sub special.
th-cam.com/video/GJl8N91JMu4/w-d-xo.html
Why is everyone saying that it was rarity’s fault rarity clearly told aj to judge the fashion show she didn’t tell her to destroy the dresses or say that fashion is rediculois
As Brawny explains at 5:44-6:05, Rarity didn't pick an experienced or tactful judge, had the judging happen during the creative process, had a poor scoring system, and did it all without giving Applejack instructions or criteria. And he also says that both Applejack and Rarity are at fault, not just one or the other.
Fatality 11:09 Brawny Flawless victory
Fancy Pants doesn't strike me as the paid in exposure type.
Wow, I had no idea you were that powerful in martial arts.
3:29 That's why I watch your stuff, comedy combined with effort.
6:03: More likely 3/5 considering she likely was being generous in the wrong manner by allowing AJ to be a judge when she knows well how different her mind is.
Then again these are the two ponies who had a stallion around mess up a dance.
*BEST FIGHTING ANIMATION EVER!!!!!*
I disagree but thank you.
Brawny Buck what it was awesome I put beside one of my favorite fighting seen on RWBY volume 2 episode 1 the food fight seen
Somehow I feel like that disco ball outfit was made while Coco was having a nervous breakdown from lack of sleep. Or maybe Discord knew she was a friend of Rarity and offered to give her help.
Or he just wanted 3:29 to happen
Best Brony Duel Ever! 🤩😎
4:28 Aj!? Don’t say that. That’s offensive
Have you seen Sketchy the Changling’s video on this episode?
Brawny: "An opening!"
*Sore wa dou kana.*
This was great ! Finally !
The Zensei level in the final battle IS OVER 9,000!!!!!!!!!
6:06 Triggered 🙄
5:24 😶Well...
Love your videos Brawny Buck.
Here come a new challenger and it Brawny Buck
can you make a seprate vid of the ending fight scene? That was sweet.
wait. What?? He walks into a WING CHUN academy calls the instructor "sensei"? This his first time at a Kung Fu academy or something?
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone pointed that out.
Did it ever occurred to you brawny that maybe they were trying to tackle the lesson of being honest but in a loving way
Street fighter alpha 3
Am I the only one who felt AJ was in the right for calling fashion obsessions "silly?"
Yah. I understand pretty dresses, and accessories I guess, I mostly stick to rings, but the tight pants, the tiny waist dress (or cage)
And all that, I have no idea why that is cool
#highheelfree
@@ambermargheim5726 Agreed, my philosophy is "wear comfortable clothes or no clothes" and as AJ always said; they normally, don't wear anything
@@sadlobster1 yah... though you do mean your oc doesn't wear clothes right?
I always enjoy your videos Brawny. 🤗
11:02
FINISH HIM!!!
I do like that strawberry pony and, if I'm being honest, it seems like she has had to defend strawberries before
That fight was sick
Awww pegasi are adorable with their foofy wings. And Brawny maybe try judo to get your strength back.
Is goo to see you again brawny
Next episode is a royal problem. I cant Wate to see how you react to That.
5:04 Is that a motherfucking JoJo reference-
C’mon, someone had to do it.
Yes, that's an mf'ing Jojo's reference.
5:04 is that a JoJo refrence
5:04 *OH MY GOD😂😂😂😂*
I'm just going to say it right now I didn't like this episode, I wouldn't say it's top 10 worst list material but it definitely goes on the dishonorable mentions for me
3:24 Oh, come on. How bad could it be?
...
I'll take a dozen!
Best. Fight animation. Ever.
3:28 AVANT. GARDE.
>.> I get it.
I was just waiting for one of you to pull a ragging demon
Surprisingly a better fight scene than anything in TF2
The answer he seeks is before him but he does not see it
That "no practicality in fashion" is so true. GradeAUnderA's videos are good proof of that!
Your title card picture looks like you're holding Applejack's mouth shut.
While Simon Cowell harshly judges my performance.
7:57-8:01 you were saying brawny
Aaaand another TFS reference.
Where did " i can see into the future" come from
TFS DBZ Abridged
It's going to be the bane of me to ask, but what the heck was 3:42 about? Anyone know where that came from?
Old Guiness commercial.
I blame both Rarity and Applejack; neither of them thought things through.
For the love of god get a walling animation!! lol
I love this
I love your mind blown that. Went inferno XD
This episode is decent
Brawny buck I challenge you to an honorable fight!!
