This is probably the darkest episode to date. The Mane 6 get abducted and are thrown into an Equestrian Gulag run by cultists to have their personality brainwashed out and total obedience forced in. And I am not exaggerating. -Coppergears P.S. This episode should win an award for the most awkward placing of a Wilhelm scream.
38:45 It's never explicitly said but her special talent is most likely magic like Twilight and Trixie, also she seems to be as strong in magic as Alicorn Twilight.
I think Apple Jack lost her countryisms because if you look back at the episode, _The Cute Mark Cronicles_ , it shows that Apple Jack tried to become a Manehattan pony, but she felt wrong so she went back, and then her cutie mark appeared. I think her countryisms have to do with her realization of not being fancy.
Those equal sign cutie marks remind me of the devices that smart people wear in Harrison Bergeron to prevent them taking "unfair advantage" of their superior intelligence.
it was interesting how starlight was the first pony the tree sent them to. popular threory is she is the equivalent element of harmony to sunset shimmer. 11:33 yes, and in HD
So i just sat down today and record new reactions. And I reacted to 6 episodes. That is a new record. The last episode I watched was Slice of Life Episode 9 the 100th Episode! And... well, just wait for my reaction, I promise it won't disappoint ;) /)
That means that you are now officially to the episodes that aired after I saw the show for the first time! Can't wait to see the reactions. Season 5 only gets better from there, let me tell you.
Now to the episode that introduces one of my favorite characters of all time which is starlight glimmer... and also the starting episodes of my favorite season too! pinkie's expressions are gold and fluttershy had the chance to stand out for once this season:) I won't be saying much now but I sure can't wait when you will react to some of my personal favorite or widely anticipated upcoming episodes in season 5!
Repost: Right on time! Okay, let's do this. 1. 0:19 Reminds me of Wheatley from Portal 2 when he tried to do a western accent. Maybe because his VA is also british... 2. 0:59 Yeah, that's pretty much the #1 fanfic site for the fandom. 3. 4:11 Heh, looks like I'm so early this time that I'm stuck watching this in 360p. ;-P Didn't notice until now that I have to focus on the tiny thumbnail. 4. 7:29 It's a sports thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_hand 5. 10:15 Yeah, this is reaaaly creepy. XD 6. 11:35 HD? ;-P 7. 12:15 I'd assume none at all. I can't imagine Celestia, Luna, or even Cadence visiting here and not realizing something was amiss. 8. 12:39 Hahaha. XD Yep. 9. 14:29 Yeah, she's totally with you on the creepy smiles. 10. 16:22 Pinkie's still having none of this. ;-P 11. 19:41 Have you _seen_ the stuff Pinkie will eat with out a second thought? If even Pinkie can't stomach it, it must be pretty bad. 12. 26:51 My theory: the = mark doesn't just suppress a pony's special talent, it suppresses everything that makes them unique. 13. 27:17 I guess Starlight isn't very creative with naming things. 14. 29:21 Nice catch. ;-) 15. 32:29 She's turning into Maud! O.o 16. 34:22 Probably the must subtle villain they've faced so far. Every other villain was bent on destruction, whereas Starlight's goals and methods are far less obvious. 17. 35:00 Well, Double Diamond doesn't really have any colors to fade. He's completely black and white. 18. 36:08 And thus an exploitable meme was born: i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/943/582/79a.png 19. 41:08 I guess so? It certainly seems that way... 20. 43:55 The Trixie style of teleportation. ;-P 21. 46:16 Unless you count Trixie as a villain... 22. 46:57 Yeah, I think maybe Twilight would need some kind of handicap for that fight to be fair. 23. 47:18 I actually don't think Celestia had much to do with Twilight's transformation (aside from all the time she spent as Twilight's teacher). She was just kinda there to witness it. Pay attention to where the magic is coming from in this scene, and what color it is: th-cam.com/video/bHOyLjK5Dn8/w-d-xo.htmlm38s Celestia didn't really seem to be the cause of that transformation.
My favorite Two parter In the entire show. I love so much about it, from the stakes to the villain to the fact that there was no Deus Ex Machina to fix everything and the Mane Six had to use their own ingenuity to save the day to the nameless town and it's creepy nature. There are some really awesome two parters coming up, but this one is still my favorite.
For some reason I thought the staff of sameness was the staff of saneness so learning that it was actually the staff sameness was kinda of a shock to me and I watched this episode like five times
you are one guy...the only one guy who has done what you have done. there are other reactors but they are not you. you will not be them and they will not be you. you are unique.
i dont know if this is a spoiler...but because you asked what starlights cutiemark represents...its somekind of magic too. maybe you will find out later...realy dont want to spoil the entire season to you-.-
Yeah, I will be making new thumbnails thought when I get to my new reactions starting tomorrow with Episode 4. As well as new camera layout, new background and possibly a slight change to my current outro
The equal cutie marks don't just take away their special talents, but _actively_ make them mediocre and weaker in general. That's why AJ's countryisms and Rarity's sense of style went away. If they'd just ripped the cutie marks off and left them blank, that wouldn't have happened.
A lot of people ask what happened to it and why it's no longer viewable, long story short, the reaction itself just isn't good in anyway shape or form, I was spoiled on pretty much the entire episode, and as a result I was kinda in a bad mood, plus at the time I didn't give Diamond Tiara a chance to redeem herself. So what I'll do at some point, not sure when, got a lot to do these days, when I can, I'll do a re-reaction, of course it won't be a real reaction, but I can re-watch the episode and give my thoughts on it in a fair manor.
Burning the reality is we love you for the exact same reason people love folks like Markiplier and Pewdiepie, its because you can make us smile just by being your happy, goofy, adorable self. I've believed for a long time that youtubers are a new means of connection for people around the world and even without realizing it you're part of that too because unlike a celebrity who has a huge name and a big pay check you're a guy we could hang out with at the mall and find funny normally. We just happen to see you from around the world and its like making a friend you've never met but you know that love is there by the joy in your face when you read our comments, and react to the show.
I'm glad to hear that. I only wish other youtubers could understand how awesome what they do is. Its a rarity to have people who do what they do for sheer enjoyment of it. TH-cam is one of the few places where you can see that show in its fullest. I also look forward to seeing you watch Legend of Everfree when you get around to it.
BronyBurningAxe well I'm trying to say is that when you asked if there's you Nabi a fight later on in the episode it gives them a chance to spoil things for you later on. I'm just trying to be nice not trying to spoil anything for you.
Oh cool! Thanks :D And Hmmm... I'm not sure, just do what you think would be good :) Here is how my OC looks, the (Official Design) - bronyburningaxe.deviantart.com/art/Burning-Axe-Final-Design-626711872
Well, I like you, BBA. You answer my question "what if Guy Fawkes was a Brony?" That's just my shtick; I'm a nicknamer when it comes to familiar Brony blind reactors. For instance, I refer to AndyBerlinBrony as 'Captain Hollister' because he looks like the captain of the Red Dwarf, from the show of the same name. I also refer to LaDix as 'Grimaldi' because he looks similar to Joseph Grimaldi, the man who set the standards for what circus clowns look like and how they act. I don't mean it to be malicious, that's the way my autist mind works.
I know they're well regarded by the fandom as a whole, but Season 5 in general and the premiere specifically were a low-point for me. I was going through some personal stuff at the time, however, and it will be interesting to see if it makes a better showing of itself upon rewatch...
I thought Season 5 was amazing. Every Season just seems to get better for me. Season 9 is easily the best Season the show has ever had right now, and I haven't even finished it!
Starlight looks alittle like twilight there cutie marks have the same star , same love for books and magic , the same srike on her mane ... Not the same colour but still
Thank you God for all the amazing blind reaction this helps me get catch up on my mlp(my fav cartoon show)Thanks Brony for the Awesomely cool reactions, great job!you deserve a Emily face with sunglasses 😎😎 Oh yeah!
This is probably the darkest episode to date. The Mane 6 get abducted and are thrown into an Equestrian Gulag run by cultists to have their personality brainwashed out and total obedience forced in. And I am not exaggerating.
-Coppergears
P.S. This episode should win an award for the most awkward placing of a Wilhelm scream.
And to think, in a later episode someone attempts suicide
Most awkward placing of a Wilhelm scream? I think
th-cam.com/video/MobkO51msMI/w-d-xo.html would beg to differ.
"Even tweets don't make sense anymore" ~Fluttershy Twitter Joke
Yeah that was hilarious XD
Fluttershy Has Best Jokes XD
When starlight yelled "QUIET!!!" Twilight's reaction sums up my reaction. I know what she's thinking. " Well... Damn."
Yeah, she flipped XD
38:45 It's never explicitly said but her special talent is most likely magic like Twilight and Trixie, also she seems to be as strong in magic as Alicorn Twilight.
They told me that MLP was for little girls, but I didn't listen
Lol
SteveMorison What! Haha their lost mlp is awesome Plus there's spike so its for guys, too!😎👍
SteveMorison me too....
xD
They told me not to binge-watch BronyBurningAxe, but I didn't listen!
Starlight was actually employing basic hypnotism.
I think Apple Jack lost her countryisms because if you look back at the episode, _The Cute Mark Cronicles_ , it shows that Apple Jack tried to become a Manehattan pony, but she felt wrong so she went back, and then her cutie mark appeared. I think her countryisms have to do with her realization of not being fancy.
This episode gives you smiles and muffins. Let's stop here, ok?
Why the castle is there?MERCHANDISING!
39:40 Opalescence taught Rarity the right ways to have someone open the door XD (You can only get this if you have a cat that goes outside)
Those equal sign cutie marks remind me of the devices that smart people wear in Harrison Bergeron to prevent them taking "unfair advantage" of their superior intelligence.
it was interesting how starlight was the first pony the tree sent them to. popular threory is she is the equivalent element of harmony to sunset shimmer.
11:33 yes, and in HD
Yeah it is :D
OH GOD NO! I don't want Pinkie to murder all her friends again XD
I just love watching this reactions all over again xD
Glad to hear it :)
Ponies suffer from their difference,
Ponies must be upgraded
I just realized, there must be a fanfick out there where party favor and cheese sandwich fight over Pinkie... (or something else)
typo on fanfic
That'd be cool :D
I used to hate MLP until I saw how mature it's become.Also because of reactors like you
Thanks man :)
So i just sat down today and record new reactions. And I reacted to 6 episodes. That is a new record. The last episode I watched was Slice of Life Episode 9 the 100th Episode! And... well, just wait for my reaction, I promise it won't disappoint ;) /)
+BronyBurningAxe That reaction is gonna be guuud xD (Also, FIRST! XD)
/)
That means that you are now officially to the episodes that aired after I saw the show for the first time!
Can't wait to see the reactions. Season 5 only gets better from there, let me tell you.
This makes me so happy that im on fire. Im burning with excitement today.
Haha wow. You caught up with Jimmy in one fell swoop? XD
Aaaaaaand we're back to season five! YEAH!
Now for that episode that had the balls to teach kids that equality can be a _bad_ thing.
Dystopia for youngsters!
Staff of Lameness actually manages to sound less lame than Staff of Sameness.
Yeah I know XD
Now to the episode that introduces one of my favorite characters of all time which is starlight glimmer... and also the starting episodes of my favorite season too! pinkie's expressions are gold and fluttershy had the chance to stand out for once this season:)
I won't be saying much now but I sure can't wait when you will react to some of my personal favorite or widely anticipated upcoming episodes in season 5!
Repost:
Right on time! Okay, let's do this.
1. 0:19 Reminds me of Wheatley from Portal 2 when he tried to do a western accent. Maybe because his VA is also british...
2. 0:59 Yeah, that's pretty much the #1 fanfic site for the fandom.
3. 4:11 Heh, looks like I'm so early this time that I'm stuck watching this in 360p. ;-P Didn't notice until now that I have to focus on the tiny thumbnail.
4. 7:29 It's a sports thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_hand
5. 10:15 Yeah, this is reaaaly creepy. XD
6. 11:35 HD? ;-P
7. 12:15 I'd assume none at all. I can't imagine Celestia, Luna, or even Cadence visiting here and not realizing something was amiss.
8. 12:39 Hahaha. XD Yep.
9. 14:29 Yeah, she's totally with you on the creepy smiles.
10. 16:22 Pinkie's still having none of this. ;-P
11. 19:41 Have you _seen_ the stuff Pinkie will eat with out a second thought? If even Pinkie can't stomach it, it must be pretty bad.
12. 26:51 My theory: the = mark doesn't just suppress a pony's special talent, it suppresses everything that makes them unique.
13. 27:17 I guess Starlight isn't very creative with naming things.
14. 29:21 Nice catch. ;-)
15. 32:29 She's turning into Maud! O.o
16. 34:22 Probably the must subtle villain they've faced so far. Every other villain was bent on destruction, whereas Starlight's goals and methods are far less obvious.
17. 35:00 Well, Double Diamond doesn't really have any colors to fade. He's completely black and white.
18. 36:08 And thus an exploitable meme was born: i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/943/582/79a.png
19. 41:08 I guess so? It certainly seems that way...
20. 43:55 The Trixie style of teleportation. ;-P
21. 46:16 Unless you count Trixie as a villain...
22. 46:57 Yeah, I think maybe Twilight would need some kind of handicap for that fight to be fair.
23. 47:18 I actually don't think Celestia had much to do with Twilight's transformation (aside from all the time she spent as Twilight's teacher). She was just kinda there to witness it. Pay attention to where the magic is coming from in this scene, and what color it is: th-cam.com/video/bHOyLjK5Dn8/w-d-xo.htmlm38s Celestia didn't really seem to be the cause of that transformation.
This is a fantastic premier. The concept is interesting. Starlight is great. A great introduction to Starlight.
My favorite Two parter In the entire show. I love so much about it, from the stakes to the villain to the fact that there was no Deus Ex Machina to fix everything and the Mane Six had to use their own ingenuity to save the day to the nameless town and it's creepy nature.
There are some really awesome two parters coming up, but this one is still my favorite.
Starlight and all of the other town ponies called it "Our Little Village" (multiple times!).
It is a pun on "My Little Pony".
For some reason I thought the staff of sameness was the staff of saneness so learning that it was actually the staff sameness was kinda of a shock to me and I watched this episode like five times
My Little Pony: Communism is Magic!
My Little Party
The human heart is on the left-hand side of the chest.
It's weird to see starlight evil agen
Hello
I'm just glad to see her again, I haven't watched in a while.
you are one guy...the only one guy who has done what you have done. there are other reactors but they are not you. you will not be them and they will not be you. you are unique.
Thank you :) I do try to set myself apart as much as possible :)
I hope the start was a Portal 2 reference.
Probably not, I haven't played Portal 2.
9:49 I believe so there are a whole lot of ponies with hourglass cutie marks prime example both Dr. Whooves and Minuette have hourglasses.
i dont know if this is a spoiler...but because you asked what starlights cutiemark represents...its somekind of magic too.
maybe you will find out later...realy dont want to spoil the entire season to you-.-
Ah, finally! Season 5. At a good time too.
awesome reaction keep up the great work :s
Thanks bro /)
What a badass thumbnail! 😊
That's actually the one I made originally when I first recorded these 5 months ago :)
Really?!? Wow!!
Yeah, I will be making new thumbnails thought when I get to my new reactions starting tomorrow with Episode 4. As well as new camera layout, new background and possibly a slight change to my current outro
Awesome!
GlOwInG bUtTs ... THIS IS WHY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL XD
Haha thanks XD
Did you ever find derpy in the train in the intro?
I completely agree with you about the name of the staff. I mean, there was en equal sign at the end of it, so why not the Staff of Equality?
I wonder what your reaction to Starlight will be
Ah well, you'll have to watch and see ;)
The equal cutie marks don't just take away their special talents, but _actively_ make them mediocre and weaker in general. That's why AJ's countryisms and Rarity's sense of style went away. If they'd just ripped the cutie marks off and left them blank, that wouldn't have happened.
You're one of the few people who noticed Party Favor staring at Rarity.
btw do you know when episode 18 will be available again?
A lot of people ask what happened to it and why it's no longer viewable, long story short, the reaction itself just isn't good in anyway shape or form, I was spoiled on pretty much the entire episode, and as a result I was kinda in a bad mood, plus at the time I didn't give Diamond Tiara a chance to redeem herself. So what I'll do at some point, not sure when, got a lot to do these days, when I can, I'll do a re-reaction, of course it won't be a real reaction, but I can re-watch the episode and give my thoughts on it in a fair manor.
yo man, I'm back.
this season is very gr8 m8.

Hey bro, it's been a while :D (\
She wouldn't be able escape from Vegito. Man he'd be pissed.
Yeah that's true :)

This comment means an awful lot to me, thank you so much. You have no idea how much you just improved my already good day
I'm glad to hear that. I only wish other youtubers could understand how awesome what they do is. Its a rarity to have people who do what they do for sheer enjoyment of it.

don't say that people will spoil you if you want something to happen later on
I don't get what you mean.
BronyBurningAxe well I'm trying to say is that when you asked if there's you Nabi a fight later on in the episode it gives them a chance to spoil things for you later on. I'm just trying to be nice not trying to spoil anything for you.
hey Nathan. I want to work on some fan art for you (but I'm not very good). any ideas?
Oh cool! Thanks :D And Hmmm... I'm not sure, just do what you think would be good :)
Here is how my OC looks, the (Official Design) - bronyburningaxe.deviantart.com/art/Burning-Axe-Final-Design-626711872
Her cutie mark Is a starlight glimmer
27:45 - it's just a kids cartoon, oookay? :P
Starlight Glimmer.... Sunset Shimmer.......
Well, I like you, BBA. You answer my question "what if Guy Fawkes was a Brony?"
That's just my shtick; I'm a nicknamer when it comes to familiar Brony blind reactors.

I don't mean it to be malicious, that's the way my autist mind works.
The next chapter to the Vegito fanfic will be this episode.
Awesome, I have to catch up on that eventually
@@BronyBurningAxe oh yeah. A lot has happened that you'll love.
God I love starlight🥰😭😭
Yeah, the Staff of Sameness was kind of... lacking in creativity on Starlight's part, lol.
Wait if Apple jack lost her countryisam did flutteshy lost her stare and pinkie lost her pinkie seance and forth wall breaking
The magic of communism.
Yeah XD
BLASPHEMER, Cheese Sandwich is the male Pinkie Pie
I know they're well regarded by the fandom as a whole, but Season 5 in general and the premiere specifically were a low-point for me. I was going through some personal stuff at the time, however, and it will be interesting to see if it makes a better showing of itself upon rewatch...
I thought Season 5 was amazing. Every Season just seems to get better for me. Season 9 is easily the best Season the show has ever had right now, and I haven't even finished it!
what i meant
was its "starlight hitler" not starlight glimmer
or is this more of an anti north korea episode?
Jony
Your personality reminds me a lot of my personality.
Is that good? XD
Starlight looks alittle like twilight there cutie marks have the same star , same love for books and magic , the same srike on her mane ... Not the same colour but still
Also starlights cutie Mark represents magic like twilights..........I think
34:48- 34:52
nice video
pozdrav
Thanks :D
A and G
Spoiler - this series contains ponies! :p
th-cam.com/video/O7lRV1VHv1g/w-d-xo.html
I ship Pinkie with Cheese Sandwich not Party Favor
Me too!
Geez Starlight, you used to be creepy.
2 Good morning Jolates my name is. ....
In mother Equestria, Communism is magic
not to be mean but the face one the pony he drew scares me.
What are you referring to? XD
+BronyBurningAxe just it is such a different art style, pulse it has such a pointy nose
The staff of sameness does sound lame ....... I like mine the cutie unmarker staff
Or the staff of unmarking
Huy BABY Wat is Nime
Hey :D What is what?
Thank you God for all the amazing blind reaction this helps me get catch up on my mlp(my fav cartoon show)Thanks Brony for the Awesomely cool reactions, great job!you deserve a Emily face with sunglasses 😎😎 Oh yeah!
Thanks! ^-^
