    I enjoyed this special myself. After the ongoing scheming of Opaline, it was nice to have a low-stakes holiday story.
    A couple of brief points: first, it wasn't "convenient" that Izzy had the tram. She found it at the end of Chapter Two. And Zipp and Pipp didn't know about the length of the musical until Queen Haven announced it during their shopping trip.

      Yes feel misty will be like coco pommel from g4 telling suri off,but now it will be misty to opaline,I gather it might take time for these mane 5 to get around to true g4 pony history beyond the mane 6 of g4,but this supposed to be season 1 g5,I feel some of us want g4 back,but without new generations shows like mlp,and star trek would never expand in depth,even William Shatner,Leonard nimoy wanted a future generation as kirk,and spock in star trek,so I feel we should give these g5 ponies their time,since had twilight not gone to ponyville in g4 we might had just one season,and if Tara strong got more time from g4 to g5,she must appreciate. what this new generation has in store for us,since she now in a new generation,plus her pony twilight sparkle has gone for what could be considered 10 seasons in 2generations just like William,Leonard showed up in next generation star trek,and even got shout outs in star trek voyager,I enjoyed this special,but like a while it to get deeper into g4,it might take these g5ponies time to truly gallop,my point being we should appreciate. Hasbro creating g5 for us,and let this new generation develop like how families,and friends let their groups grow as kids,and other stuff,or have we let mlp g4 spoil us,and not want mlp to grow as media franchise from g4tog5,not to be picky,just notice how some of us seem to not want g5to be as special as g4 was,and Hasbro created g5 to show us how much they appreciate our fan group,and plus without more fans like us,mlp wouldn't become the ponies they're now,sorry for this sorta dark rant,but as the ponies in g4,and now g5 if they think,and feel cold thoughts they freeze,or probably turn to stone through bad feelings for each other,and when they try to be inclusive,it helps them alot,especially if some us feel mlp might be our future,where somehow we humans become colorful magical ponies,Abd somehow a future unicorn creates 2 earths,one full of ponies,the other full of colorful magical humans that mirror each other,and through helpful friendship both worlds thrive,and continue to grow,and change from one generation. to the next,like going from grade school, high school and college,and beyond here on our earth,sorry this was long,just my view,hope it helps us ponder what we truly need from mlp,since I sure hasbro is aware how we feel,and want their ponies to continue on through our appreciation,and friendship they give us,and hopefully we give back to the cast,and crews who create mlp this understanding.

    I liked it (especially at Grandma Figgy's place, it warms my heart knowing she now has a grandchild in Sparky) but wished there was more depth to Sunny's reason for wanting to see the Wishing Star with her friends. I think something like "My dad and I used to celebrate like this, and now I'd love to make it our tradition!" would have sufficed. The lack of a reason makes her feel even more pushy, which did come off as funny initially but then I grew concerned.

  • @OkamiGirl64

    Despite its flaws, I enjoyed the Winter Wishday special and found it to be cute! It was warm, fun, Holiday fluff which is all I could really ask for from a Christmas Special. I was also surprised to see how expressive the animation was this time around. The music was good too.
    I do completely agree though that Sunny was rather pushy and annoying in my opinion. I would have loved to hear more about her traditions with Argyle- I know they briefly touched on that but I would have loved to have seen more. Definitely agree this outing is the best thing to come out since the movie. Although I can’t help but feel this could have been really special if they told mini episodes about each area they visited with a greater focus on character building (ex: Figgy and hitch w/ traditions, Royal Sisters and Mom different thoughts on what they want to do for the holidays-it’s clear their mom misses them, etc) in a similar way to how Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas did. I feel like these weren’t really touched on and I think they had a lot of potential.
    Side note: the small moments like the marathon/race one and the Hitch’s grandma name thing I didn’t catch but now I really can’t stop thinking about it and it’s really hilarious.😂

    The one thing I kinda like is the design of the unicorns in the book. Also it would be funny if the next conflict in a Christmas special was that it got too hot because of the unicorns changing their holiday greetings from cold to warm.

    I didn't like Winter Wishday, but we are all used to G4 which was made to entertain everyone. I'm getting used to the fact that G5 is made to entertain only little girls. Whether that's by design or laziness is up to interpretation, since I see cases for both.

    It's a flying RV (look up Spaceballs and Eagle 5). And to think this thing only exists because Hitch's grandmother is the ONE pony who lives in butt bucking no where while every other pony on this planet lives in three locations where the last of pony kind have settled. Also, does this mean the Sheriff was not born in Maretime? Oh well, Happy "May The Schwartz be with you" day.

    I loved the singing Zipp and Pipp did. And I think the reason they said "We had no idea it was 6 acts" was that they usually only did 3 but their mother had decided to make them sing the entire thing. It explains why one of the choire ponies took a quick peek at the lyrics before singing. What the sisters meant was "We had no idea we had to sing all 6". The fact that Zipp actually has some duties she has to do (even if she doesn´t love them as much as Pipp) is a nice touch since she is the crown princess. The royal guards were funny and Queen Haven made me feel warm inside.
    And I LOVED the "frosty shivers" being something that had meaning. The whole unicorn tradition was nice since while the traditions hadn´t meant anything for who knows how long, they were still in place to ward off jinxes and to bring people together. It felt realistic.
    I was a little disappointed in the lack of Earth pony tradition and Sprout, but it was nice to get away from Maretime bay. And while Sunny was controlling and borderline manipulative her reactions like "Grab her!" and "6 acts?!" made me snicker.
    Overall, it had enough humor and old-pony history to keep me entertained while not being flooded with jokes or mushiness.

  • @HexanTronic
    @HexanTronic 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I honestly think that a lot of Sunny's pushiness during this special was because, she doesn't really HAVE anyone closely related to her apart from her friends anymore. Her dad is just, gone, presumed dead. Sprout, her friend when she was young, destroyed her previous home. And that's all we know of those who were close to her. So, her latching onto her friends like this kind of makes sense. Just a shame it isn't brought up.

  • @CramSkyy
    @CramSkyy 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Queen Haven told Zipp and Pipp that it's gonna be longer than usual? And then they rehearsed the 6 acts, but then told their friends aftertrrr that they didn't know before that it was gonna be that long and probably couldn't change it anyways

  • @UnboxingAlyss
    @UnboxingAlyss 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I had no idea that this had come out. Luckily, I saw you post this vid yesterday, so I Just watched it. I really agree with your points. It wasn't great. I know they had to get to a lot of places, but it still felt too fast-paced. I'm getting sick of the lantern being able to solve literally any problem that comes their way. It's getting boring. I will say that the sisters didn't know it would be 6 acts, until Haven told them during the shopping trip, so I can't knock them for that. I also won't knock Zipp for participating. It's probably part of her royal duties and she does it every year. I do feel bad for Sunny, though, as she doesn't have any family. I can see it getting lonely. Hence her clinging to her friends. Overall, not great, but not horrible. ANY Gen 4 holiday episode was better.
    I also appreciate you calling out how different this Hitch is from his movie personality. As my second fav (after Zipp), this really bothered me. He went from being competent, confident, and a tiny bit arrogant, to kind of goofy and more......feminine? Nothing wrong with guys showing their feminine side, but this wasn't the pony we initially met. It seemed to get worse after Sparky appeared. 😕

    You pretty much captured my thoughts, except I found it even duller than the first special. I also found the 'twist' with the frost spell kind of thrown in there for the sake of being there, but I agree, it's potentially an interesting building block for future episodes if used right. But we both know it most likely won't happen...
    Sadly, 'as long as it's cute, it doesn't have to be good!' seems more and more like the motto of the series 😐.
    P.S.
    Also, is it just me, or is Sunny getting less and less screening time compared to Zip and Izzy as the series goes on?

    I wish they explained how we got Wishentime Day, Winter Wishday and Wishyhoof derived from Hearth’s Warming. I understand it probably originated from the separation of pony species, but still it seemed very vague.
    The thing that confused me the most is this - we’ve seen that pegasi can fly to and from Zephyr Heights no problem, and presumably unicorns are able to teleport themselves and potentially others … but they’re flying in a plane … pegasi flying in a plane … 🤷‍♂️ it boggles the mind.
    I agree, you stick with one name for your grandparents, hence to avoid confusion I had Nanny Beryl and Grandma Patsy.
    Surely, if Zipp flew the Mare Stream above the clouds, they’d avoid all the turbulence and blizzard?
    I know G5 isn’t living up to everyone’s expectations, but for me personally, as the Make Your Mark series has progressed, it’s become more enjoyable, especially since the introduction of Opaline & Misty. I actually would’ve been interested to see Opaline & Misty involved in this story, potentially making Opaline realise the positive side of magic at the festive season, but hey ho.
    Great video!

    Oh, she doesn't just make up magic. She implies to all the stupid kids watching this show that if you just think happy thoughts you can defy death. And while being calm in a crisis is key, closing your eyes and wishing to not die increases your chances of not surviving. /)_- I mean, unless you are huddled in closet during a tornado or something, then you might still die, but you will have been calm in your last moments on... whatever.

Of course Sunny wants things her way.....she's supposed to be the main character and a activist. AND yet again nothing seriously bad can ever happen in this series because....i don't know, children?
    Side note, how does anyone know how to fly the plane? I mean i guess Pegasi being able to fly, they have a basic understanding of flight so, makes sense that Zipp would be the pilot. But hay we have a plane now, maybe we will go to more places in Equestria.

      As funny as that was, it's more likely that the writers' mindset is the real problem. They don't seem to care enough, probably because there is no one above them to say, "Sorry, this s*it won't fly! Write it better!" or to establish basic lore or to control whether it's followed...
      This 'It's just a dumb cartoon, why bother?' approach is nothing new for MLP (or other cartoons designed around selling toys), but one would think Hasbro would want some quality after what happened with G4. Sadly, it doesn't seem that way :(

    I don't really have much to comment on the speciale (unlike chapter 2 where I was pausing every 3 minutes to complain for 5, it took me a month and a half to watch all 8 episodes...), it wasn't bad, but it wasn't very good either, and it makes me warried that the rest of G5 will be exactly like this, almost good, but not quite there, which would be worse then if it waa bad. Otherwise, I really don't have much else to say, the animation looked a little weird, at times it looked like an amateur's early SFM work, and other times it looked weirdly fluid, I thought the colours looked weird (Izzy was literaly glowing) but turns out I just had to calibrate my new TV, but I did like the parts in Zephyr Hights, and the outfits of the main characters, I'm just glad they didn't make Zipp annoying with her detective passion, I swear, in chapter 2 THAT'S ALL SHE DID.

    The biggest difference between this and the previous Chapters is that the most insufferable character attributes (primarily Pipp's internet celebrity attitude always being "on", and Sparky being destructively "cute") are far, far less present. And also it at least commits to being a fluffy filler special, rather than every episode in Chapter 2 including the overarching villain plot but making glacial or no progress with it. Give or take the Princess Portrait episode, it's the best Make Your Mark has been so far.
    As you noted, though, just about every prior issue is otherwise present. The character animation continues to improve, or at least have far less terribly rigid moments, but the visual shortcomings have otherwise not changed (with the layout, staging and comic timing doing very little to plus the script, as it should). There is not nearly enough story here for 44 minutes, and thus every scene repeats its points many times over (we hear "Granny's particular about traditions" like a dozen times from Hitch), or pads it with "cute" vignettes that either show off unfunny holiday traditions past the point of necessity, or at just a big Wut (evidently they only had Alphabittle cameo out of obligation, if that was the best they could write). Outside the snow spell, all traditions feel like whatever ideas the writers came up with in the moment.
    The writing continues to have lots of parts there purely to pad the runtime (why do Zipp and Pipp not tell Haven about rushing back to Maritime Bay with Sunny until they're literally doing so…?), or to generate a conflict. The lack/diffusion of the most annoying character traits is nice, and appreciated, but with the characters being their one-note selves still, mostly the dialogue is just yawn-inducing. And lets the viewer reflect on the worse character traits the writing straight-up isn't aware it's made a thing, like Sunny monopolising her friends' holidays (yes, many Christmas specials go the direction of everyone ultimately spending it together, but they lean into that as a positive direction, they don't do this).
    Also, this special is clearly meant to be a diversity call to kids of varying nationalities and religions watching, of how their traditions are different yet have the same soul, yet the special never leans into or emphasise that direction, instead treating it as just friends spending the holidays apart/together in a way that could only come from secluded writers having no oversight.
    Oh, Elley Ray Hennessy plays Grandma Figgy, the first FiM voice actor to appear in Gen 5, and even with a limited role and weak voice direction, she still runs circles around the other actors. Alphabittle's really deep voice is distracting, though not nearly as much as what happened to poor Thunder and Zoom (seen before in Tell Your Tale, but speaking for the first time here). The songs are sleepy nothings that vanish from memory even while watching them, with only the opening number repurposing the tune of "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" sticking out.
    I was rewatching Applejack’s “Day” Off just three days ago, a FiM episode notable for having plodding, pedantic writing, making for quite a sedative watching experience. But even that, barely a step above an utterly negligible hang-out episode, feels like poetry compared to how lethargic, boring, repetitive and go-nowhere this is. I’ll gladly take this over the higher quantity of insufferable writing in nearly all prior MYM episodes, but there is still very little positives or actual entertainment to be had here, and certainly very little reason to watch it, let alone a second time. Though if the improvement rates continue, hay, the show might flit with being tolerably watchable by its end, so there's that.

  • @Alexandr2222

    Маловат хронометраж. Хотелось бы полноценный фильм. Мою любимую гламурную, королевскую семейку маловато показали.
    Ладно пройдёмся по ролику:
    0:52 Не понимаю, в чём тут претензия? Она лидер в данной пятёрке. Как начальство сказало так тому и быть. Вам показывают, что дружба это не какое то абстрактное понятие. За дружбу(как и за любовь) надо бороться, а не сидеть в позе "ноги кренделем" и ждать когда это всё само из астрала придёт. Она приняла компромиссное решение для всей команды, а не только для самой себя.
    1:13 Техномагия дружбы. Я кажется начинаю подозревать кто такая Мисти. Как говорил мистер Тувок: "У меня ужасное предположение".
    1:39 В полнометражке нам показывали ангар для дирижаблей. То есть гражданское авиасообщение у них было. И как мы помним Зипп уже давно увлекалась этой тематикой. Так что всё логично.
    2:34 Чисто технические проблемы у создателей мульта. Надо больше моделек пони и больший штат актёров. Вы же это понимаете.
    Одно и время и в G4 думали, что Рарити и Свити Белль сироты. И про Скуталу думали то же самое. Но у нас сериал про дружбу, а не семейная комедия.
    3:45 Ну решила его потроллить в очередной раз. Или - наоборот поддержать. Ведь в прошлый раз он Саше продул в игре где считался асом, а она была новичком(нет - новичком она ему не угрожала =)) просто игра для неё была незнакомой). Мог и духом пасть.
    4:18 Пони-гот...
    4:37 Так же как и мы сохраняем. У нас нет никакой магии, нет никаких рождественских чудес, никаких рождественских духов.
    Но тем не менее это не мешает нам придумать себе(на самом деле - спереть у солнцепоклонников) традиции и следовать им.
    А у них то хотя бы какая то реальная основа есть(потому что когда то была магия).
    5:05 Моя любимая, гламурная семейка в сборе. В семье у них простая проблема, как и во многих семьях. Мать считает своих детей жутко талантливыми и подчас творит что то совершенно дикое. Сёстры и тут ждут от неё подвоха ИЧСХ - дождались(торопят они её именно поэтому, чтобы у маман времени не было придумать для них что то ещё невообразимое).
    5:13 Я бы поинтересовался другим - может у Хевен проблемы со здоровьем? Как то быстро она устала.
    Не мудрено, что она скорее хочет сделать Зипп новой королевой.
    5:37 Если вещь выглядит как подарок и находится в твоей вип-ложе, то наверное это подарок. Подарки вообще то дарят не ожидая, что тебе что то подарят в ответ.
    5:45 На русском тоже озвучили хорошо, но именно: "Joyous, joyous Wishentine Joyous, joyous Wishentine" в памяти просто завирусилось.
    И к стати... Мне кажется или в хоре голосов звучит голос Рарити?
    5:52 Потому, что королева только по прибытии рассказала им, что изменила программу и потащила их на репетицию.
    6:02 А по моему она всех спасла. Представьте себе, что было бы если бы М5 не выдвинулись командой? Хитч, Иззи, Пипп, Зипп погибли бы в снежную метель.
    И полностью вымер бы весь Блидлвуд.
    6:53 Звезду бы увидели. А сюрприз от Санни - нет. А он - восклицательный знак в финале.
    Рождество когда то считалось возрождением солнца(просто солнце заменили на человека). С 25 декабря начинает прибавляться день и три самые яркие звезды на горизонте как бы указывают место восхода солнца. Три звезды(три царя) следуют за солнцем.
    Ну а у нас тут всё показано на эквестрийский манер: Пятеро хранителей дружбы и гармонии идут за звездой, которая загорается как звезда на кьютимарке Твайлайт. =))

    I was hoping for something a little more about the World-Lore of hows and whys of their winter holidays. I thought it didn't get funny until the blizzard flight to Zephyr Heights. The 'frosty shivers' spell was a nice bit of story-writing. Would I watch it again? Probably not, it just didn't grab me. and hold my attention. The toy tie-in just felt forced; no reason for it and like you said, no mass transit in this world? (sigh!) Guess we'll have to wait for some better story writing.

But i Hope we would ever knie why the Pegasi,Earth, an unicorn had a big Missunterstand to every Ponykind.

G3, another mlp show made for a very young audience, although the generation was unfairly hated in 2011-2013 by the fandom, at least has a real stor, real moral and thankfully doesn't think that children are stupid, which is why i like the generation. one thing that really REALLY pisses me off is that whenever the crew have a problem, it's solved using the "magic solves everything!!" trope with that stupid lantern like what little kids shows have now. so disappointed.
