The community gives Sombra a bad rap for not contributing much in the present day, but I admire him as a villain for all the precautions he took to keep the Crystal Heart to himself. Perhaps not the best villain, but I would hardly say worst.
Season 1 charmed me, surprised me, and hooked me in. Season 2 took it up a notch and the writers cut loose, seemingly having even more fun and freedom. A triumphant season that took mlp to a new level. Season 3 was the... ahem.... mixed bag season, with episodes that rank among my best, and a couple I don't really care for. Season 4 though? Back with a fucking BANG! The quality! The consistency! The songs! The concepts! Season 4 is my favourite, hands down. They've knocked it out of the park, and season 5 will have to be pretty darn special to top it.
Glad TH-cam recommended your page to me. I don't know why, but I love watching new people blind react to MLP. Maybe it's because it's nostalgic to watch. It reminds me of when I first started watching this show. Going from that feeling of "why the heck am I watching this girly show" to "I don't know why, but I LOVE this show!" You got yourself another sub today bro :)
The journey of watching people’s slowly altering feelings towards the show in the first few seasons is the best part of watching blind reactions to this show.
The yellow and purple crystal pony who said "The Crystal Heart" was voiced by Tabitha again. Keep up the great work and at this pace you should be done in time for the finale of season 4 on may 10 just be very careful not to look for pony things as it is very easy to be spoiled for upcoming events.
Did you actually notice the book Luna made appear at the end of the episode ? It's the same as the one in s3e13 which you already saw by now... That was just funny the fact you saw Berry Punch in the crowd but didn't seem to see the book...
I think you had an advantage watching this long after it aired, and thus could enjoy it for what it was. The brony community was spoiled on King Sombra's design and the basic concept of the episode months before it aired, and thus speculation ran rampant for a long time. When it finally aired, a lot of bronies were disappointed in the episode, tainting their views of it, including myself admittedly. Most of all, the fans were disappointed in King Sombra, who most thought was a fairly boring villain with little personality outside of his obsession of crystals (and apparently stairs), especially when compared to the last two villains, who were extremely memorable and interesting.
Yeah no problems with a slower pacing, school is important, and we are fast approaching another inter-season drought. :) Also if you think the animation quality has improved here wait for the next season. On of the things that really impresses me about DHX on this show is how much they push the boundaries for a show whose core is flash animation, especially when it comes to lighting effects. There are parts in season 4 where because of the shading it really doesn't look like flash anymore.
IKR?! But im hating that we have to wait for the rest of five..... think we could pull a rainbow dash? Ride in on a ball of episodes all the way from hasbro?
Most of the episodes of this season have really good reaction material on. For dyarters the next 3 and the humor, continuity and drama-ish thingies on them.
Did you guys notice that P Luna and P Celestia were talking,P Luna said' are you sure she is ready' then at the end she is holding Starswirl the beared's book which us from the magical mystery cure episode.This means they were planning on making Twilight a princess all along.
LaDix I'd love it to pieces if you actually caught up for the finale, but please don't let it be to the detriment of your enjoyment, if you feel like taking a break at any time then please do so, we will wait! That being said you need to finish this season in under half a week or you are clearly losing your touch :P
"A hidden shadow, in the darkness, Drained the laughter, drained the kindness, Stopped the saviors, from loyalty to magic, Laughing all the way which was quite tragic. A mystery, an amalgam and enigma, The beginning and the end, alpha and omega, Lord of Chaos, Ruler of Calamity, The Lord High Master of Depravity. And though I have to admit that he is quite chaotic, The manner which he does bound is, frankly, fantastic, And his powers and whimsical nature I do admire, Even though he might set his enemies on water. There's nothing there to be expected or expect at all, He'll be a-waltzing, and shuffling, and a disco ball, He might as well be dressed as the red and black Marty Stu, Because there's no guarantee on what he'll do to you." Just gonna leave this here.
I didn't know anybody who don't like this one. It's amazing and only short because originally season 3 was going to be the last season. Most people actually think season 6 is the weakest, but I love every season .
Everyone is doing lists. I'm gonna do lists. Here's my list. 4 3 2 1 :I Season four is awesome in all it's glory. Season three gets brownie points for surviving the onslaught of dumb over the top critics who lost their connection to MLP momentarily and took it out on the season as a whole. Season two was fine and fun to watch, that's about it. Season one was fantastic and probably my favorite of the series. Oh, this shit is suppose to go in order? Um... 4 2 1/That EG Movie 3 Something like that. I love shoving my opinion down people's throats.
And off we go again! Like others have said, do this the way *you* want to. We're not paying you to do these commentaries, so we don't get to tell you how to do them! Season 3 is my least favourite, but it still contains one of my all-time top episodes (not this one) and some great other stuff. Since everyone else seems to be doing the ranking thing: for me the ranking is 4>2>1>3, though it's really close between 4 and 2.
After season 3 you should watch 1. a tale of one shadow 2.1 THIS IS THE MOMENT (Pinkie animatic) 2 ALIVE (Pinkamena animatic) 3 CONFRONTATION (Pinkie and Pinkamena animatic) (Ink Potts)
I'll say this much, I feel like Season 3 is a bit weaker overall than Season 2 and Season 4. A couple episodes, in addition, I feel like the writers tried to fit too much into one episode. There is also one episode in this season that I really disliked, and I have only watched once. STILL, it definitely has its moments, and the high points of this season shine brilliantly. Rainbow Dash especially shows some of her best in this season, both in her own personal episode and the one where she plays a major supporting role.
Hi I just want to say about Lightning Dust on the episode wonderbolt Academy it's not her fault she didn't mean to cause them to have accent yes he's being a jerk about it but it was their fault for showing up not telling anyone that they were coming and that Twilight and Friends appeared by the track they should appear that the facility where they're supposed to go not on the track
Make sure to take notes on every episodes at the of the season finale MLP you will be surprised something big happens that will surprise you and Gmail username I want to add you in my circle
"Is that Chinese?" No it is not, I find it very rude for you to assume that they would use Chinese in and English show and when they don't even use English writing in the show.
Dan Bridges I thought so, too. His problem really is not in his look. It's an awesome design, it really is. It's just entirely that he's sorrowfully undeveloped. Everything that could potentially be interesting about him is in his backstory and it's a backstory we're never clued in on. I agree, wholeheartedly. Excellent character design, but a complete non-entity. Outside of a fanfic, there's really no one who could probably even explain what his personality is supposed to be. A case of good idea, lacking execution.
Ehhh. :/ I really don't understand why people say that. Season 3 came off just fine to me, aside from the reduced episode order. Some of my favorite moments, if not a few of my top favorite episodes came from it. And I would honestly say that no season of this show ever truly "sucked". But then again, I tend to think that in general a lot of this fanbase loves to nitpick and over exaggerate the negative, in general. Taking the show as it is, and for what it is, not what I always expect it to be, I think I only ever outright disliked 2 episodes of the entire show, and found a small handful more to just be "not that memorable" at most. And those two episodes I didn't even like came from seasons 1 and 2 respectively. I never saw any real problems with 3, and I still try to figure out why people think that, and I still don't see it.
I would absolutely agree with that, Atticus. It's been nearly perfect. Like a condensed microcosmic history of everything the show has done right in other seasons and should keep doing. Strong episodes, good morals, progressive character development, sweet moments, hilarious laughs, and some of the most consistently memorable and top quality songs of the whole show. Like almost everything in it has been a high point. The show has seriously never been better and never showed more promise than right now.
Totally. I had the idea to start doing reactions myself by the time S4 already started, and it was so good, it inspired me to want to, but then I started thinking that since it was already a few episodes in, I didn't want to jump into making TH-cam vids in the middle, so to this point I haven't. But I'm so hyped I just recently re-considered that I will do a blind reaction to the S4 two-parter coming up, after all. :D
TheNightStar I agree that season four has been great overall, but I do see that its detractors have a couple of fair points, such as some of the plots being introduced through heavy-handed exposition or Pinkie's character being less three-dimensional in most episodes.
The community gives Sombra a bad rap for not contributing much in the present day, but I admire him as a villain for all the precautions he took to keep the Crystal Heart to himself. Perhaps not the best villain, but I would hardly say worst.

The scene with Spike's worst fear is the only scene in this series that threatens to send me to tears. And it happens every. single. time I see it.
Season 1 charmed me, surprised me, and hooked me in.
Season 2 took it up a notch and the writers cut loose, seemingly having even more fun and freedom. A triumphant season that took mlp to a new level.
Season 3 was the... ahem.... mixed bag season, with episodes that rank among my best, and a couple I don't really care for.
Season 4 though? Back with a fucking BANG!
The quality! The consistency! The songs! The concepts!
Season 4 is my favourite, hands down. They've knocked it out of the park, and season 5 will have to be pretty darn special to top it.
Sup luffy, nice to see you visit and comment other reactioneers. ^^^
Now i cant wait to get to season 4 :)
LaDix you noe mean season 5 XD soz :p
Season 5 somehow did! (IMO at least)
40:30 - Twilight already has at least two windows dedicated to her. I think we can give Spike one.
The order of things in terms of Celestia and Luna is:
They defeated discord, then Sombra then luna turned evil and has to be banished
Man, ALL of their singing voices are EPIC.

wait...you knew the scientific name for the northern lights? awesome :o
Isn't Aurora Borealis a commonly known scientific name? I've known that since I was in elementary school.
17:43 its a refrence to the knights of the round table

sombra was the first stairmaster
(insert line from Kung Fu Panda 2)
My old enemy... stairs!
Just so you know those transitions are from this being split into two episodes as well as the fact that the show was made to incorporate commercials.
Umm, I think he knows that by now...
that kingdom hearts reference, you sir are awesome. =D
princess twilight training, this episode: must be willing to disobey a order to do what must be done
You: aww Twilight has nice hair..
Me: I SHIP IT I SHIP IT
idk what im doing with my life XD
17:43 its the knights of the round table
LaDix, I watched all of your MLP reactions, until I reached this one where I could inform you about meh suscribing to youuuuU!
Thank you! :)
why is everyone hating on season 3? It's the season that brought back the Great and Powerful Trixie and Discord!
Storm Wind
Maybe cause it was so short?
IKR?! But im hating that we have to wait for the rest of five..... think we could pull a rainbow dash? Ride in on a ball of episodes all the way from hasbro?
It better be worth the wait! Most likely will, im easily impressed.. But still!!
Right? I love that they made Sunset a nerd! Gaahh! The cuteness.. Did i spell that right?
Sunset. And if they ever put her in the show she'd be my fave. But pony has to be twilight or sweetie bell
Most of the episodes of this season have really good reaction material on. For dyarters the next 3 and the humor, continuity and drama-ish thingies on them.
u may cus but your vids are awesome
Did you guys notice that P Luna and P Celestia were talking,P Luna said' are you sure she is ready' then at the end she is holding Starswirl the beared's book which us from the magical mystery cure episode.This means they were planning on making Twilight a princess all along.
Just wondering if you will have a new episode up any time soon.
I love how Sombra's theme sounds like the Dragon Age Origins theme.
Only 13 episodes this season. Season 4 is coming to a close in about 2 weeks. Hell, you'll probably have caught up before the season ends XD
Yeah considering we only have one more episode left before the season 4 finale so he has 2 weeks to catch up will he do it?
Geneva Alpert You betcha he will.
LaDix :D
LaDix I'd love it to pieces if you actually caught up for the finale, but please don't let it be to the detriment of your enjoyment, if you feel like taking a break at any time then please do so, we will wait! That being said you need to finish this season in under half a week or you are clearly losing your touch :P
"A hidden shadow, in the darkness,
Drained the laughter, drained the kindness,
Stopped the saviors, from loyalty to magic,
Laughing all the way which was quite tragic.
A mystery, an amalgam and enigma,
The beginning and the end, alpha and omega,
Lord of Chaos, Ruler of Calamity,
The Lord High Master of Depravity.
And though I have to admit that he is quite chaotic,
The manner which he does bound is, frankly, fantastic,
And his powers and whimsical nature I do admire,
Even though he might set his enemies on water.
There's nothing there to be expected or expect at all,
He'll be a-waltzing, and shuffling, and a disco ball,
He might as well be dressed as the red and black Marty Stu,
Because there's no guarantee on what he'll do to you." Just gonna leave this here.
I’ve been watching mlp for years and I never noticed cadence’s cutie mark was the same crystal heart from the empire! That’s crazy’
9:39 Silly VA, this is not Pinkie! XD
So???? why do season 3 gets so much hate??? PLEASE DON'T SAY BECAUSE IT WAS SHORT!!!!! :)
It's my favorite season beacuse king sombra is my favorite pony
I didn't know anybody who don't like this one. It's amazing and only short because originally season 3 was going to be the last season. Most people actually think season 6 is the weakest, but I love every season .
It's my favourite season because of Twilight's development. You really could see her character growth and it ended with a bang. ❤

I will say Season 3 is the worst season, but it isn't as bad as people say. Except of one episode with the initials SAYS that one was terrible!
I love the ship king sombra x princess luna
"Is that Chinese?" No it is not, I find it very rude for you to assume that they would use Chinese in and English show and when they don't even use English writing in the show.
I know it's a joke, but it's still sorta rude.
your MOTHER has happened
Meet Sombrero.The worst villain ever.
Maybe the worst Villian, but has one of the coolest designs. :D
Dan Bridges Not really.He always looked like a bad OC to me.
I thought he looked awesome. XD
Dan Bridges I thought so, too. His problem really is not in his look. It's an awesome design, it really is. It's just entirely that he's sorrowfully undeveloped.
