that scene at the start when kid silver started picking apart transformers, it is my headcannon that this is how Silver achieved his cutie mark

Celestia's confidence was shaken when she got blasted unconscious by Queen Chrysalis, and is fearful of loosing her empire now. She stepped in and fought Chrysalis in Twilight's place because she didn't believe Twi would be strong enough to defeat her on her own, and probably was terrified that they had lost everything when she woke up in the cocoon. She had always planned that Twilight would be their protector, but at this point decided that she had to stop being so soft on her and push her to become stronger so she could face threats that were beyond Celestia's power.

The part where she battles Tirok never bothered me. Before she was trying to control how much magic she used so as not to seem different than before but was unable to because it was the combined magic of four alicorns. The magic could be contained like before resulting in controllable bursts of it. During the battle Twilight was not trying to control it, she was giving it her all and letting it all run loose and besides I think shooting a beam of magic is all simpler than teleportation.

"Maybe they should make me an Alicorn princess" -Discord "And I know just the princess to stop them" hehehe. Im preeeety sure were thinking of the same thing

Until the finale, I kept thinking that the old castle was going to become Twilight's castle. They'd spent so much time there, at least in the beginning of the season, I thought that that's what they were building to.

1:03-1:31 OMG BABY QUILL!!! ADORABLE!!! **thump** Too... cute... **gets back up** **thump**

Silver Quill: "Oh, who am I kidding?! I look ridiculous!" Me: I honestly beg to differ. You look badass, Quill-san! ^_^

I was watching Twilight's Kingdom at some point and he was about to drain the earth ponies and I said 'What's he gonna take from them? Their personality?'

12:27 In the comics, Celestia confesses to Spike that she has always had the power to solve these problems on her own, but deliberately removed herself so as to allow Twilight to save the day.

twi trying to raise the sun Gaurd: STEVE THE PRINCESSES ARE HIGH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then... Season 5 Finale: Everybody else has to save the mane six.

Twilight is confusing: She sings a song about how much she misses her brother and how much they mean to each other, but not once has she made any attempt to speak with him after becoming a princess, nor he.

Young Silver is really cute he's so fluffy!

I LOVE Discord's character arc in this season finale. The part when he apologizes to Twilight and gives her the necklace is UNBELIEVABLY emotional :')

1:03 Crying and whimpering Silver Quill stole my heart

Am I the only one who think tiny Silver is adorable?

Fantastically well done, as per usual Silver Quill. Your skills are continuing to improve, and even that montage of clips from your previous reviews at the end of this video made me better appreciate just how far you've come. I was also pleasantly surprised that you ended up using various clips from the other reviewers. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next.

I think he banished the Princesses to Tartarus as a form of revenge-he was imprisoned there. So he put them there as a form of irony.

5:10 I'd like to bring a different perspective to light. I interpreted the song in a different way - instead of the theme being 'You are a princess now, therefore everything will be fine', I saw it as, 'You will find a way to make things right, as you have done before; that is why you are a princess'. We've seen Twilight struggle with conflicts before. While I can think of no problems that exactly fit this one, we've seen that she is capable of beating the odds and pulling through to a good ending. She became a princess BECAUSE she was able to fix a problem, and the song could simply be saying that she has proven herself strong enough to deal with this situation. :)

"SENZU BEAN!" Well, that has to be the best reference to TFS. Congratulations, you now have my FULL attention.

Why oh why didn't I make a Dragonball reference, WHY!?

16:55 Silver quill should be a writer for the show

13:37 "there's no loss of life" TREES ARE LIVING THINGS!!!!!

So many memories were made in those polished wooden peach-colored walls and stacks of hardbacks.... I shamelessly admit that I am going to miss the hell out of that library.

5:38 Sounds like Darth Maul is back. Oh wait, it's just Tirek....

~2:35~ Twilight Sparkle is concerned about her farts, and is feeling depressed. But there's no time to dwell as Equestria is in danger from the evil farts, and the Royal Ponies cannot help. Twilight travels to farts to try and help, but she becomes separated from her friends and all seems lost. The villain's arrogance creates an opening and the friends reunite to defeat their enemy with the power of farts that conveniently solves everything. Twilight learns a lesson that answers her personal dilemma and she is rewarded with a new farts. *The End*

Twilight Sparkle is concerned about her Butt and is feeling depressed. But there's no time do dwell as Equestria's in danger from the evil butt and the royal ponies cannot help. Twilight travels to farts to try to help, where she becomes separated from her friends and all seems lost. The villain's arrogance creates an opening, and her friends reunite to defeat their enemy with the power of butt. That conveniently solves everything. Twilight learns a lesson that answers her personal dilemma, as she's rewarded with the new Butt.

11:48 “And keep the change hidden from her friends… because Celestia said so” Just like with the Crystal Empire. Maybe Twilight should just learn that Celestiaʼs advice on this topic is bad.

I think that when you think about the fact that Twilight was basically chosen for the title of Princess instead of being born with it, then You'll Play Your Part feels more like and encouragement to the fact she was chosen for a reason, because they beleive she is capable of great things, not only because she is a princess... to me, its more about the trust they have on her than the trust on her title.

I swear Silver, you get owned more than Krillin in DBZ Abridged

Must...not...cuddle...Baby...Quill...DDAAAWWW!!! *DAW meter explodes and dies from adorableness

You know. Now that I re-watch this AfF for probably the third time, I realized something. You should have gained your cutie mark during that child-flashback.

For all you Pokemon fans out there... The Mane 6 Mega Evolved! XD

"Princess of the sun, moon, and merchandise..." Ha...haha....MERCHANDISE!

Hasbro will ALWAYS be a magnificent bastard

celestia: "one of these days Silver-Quill, one of these days, POW! ZOOM! straight to the SUN!"

Hey, I know folks rag on the whole "Everfree losing its teeth" thing but did anyone give this a thought? The Tree of Harmony was supposed to be keeping back the Everfree Forest in the first place. Zecora's Plot Convenience Potion showed Celestia saying that "Even without the Elements, the tree will have enough power" to keep doing so. So from the sound of it, the tree has been holding back the forest while running at partial strength for over one-thousand years. And then at the start of this season *Twilight and the others put the Elements back*. My head canon? Recharged Tree with Elements equals Everfree Forest falling under a lot more control than before. Which is why it's been so much less dangerous in Season 4.

Am i the only one who likes the Rainbow Power designs?

flurryheart is an acorn... she! is the princess of merchandising!!!

6:37 Yep, starswirl is gotta be there for historical events, i'm telling you.

14:39 "She's kickin' you up and down the landscape." (Silver-Quill stomped on) Screen suddenly cuts to "An error has occurred, please try again later."

This was like watching a movie: It made me laugh, It made me cry. Taught me something new that didn't feel like an after school special Made me Laugh again! And then want to watch it again. Also, Buy Our Toys!!!!!

Funny thing about the Aizen Syndrome. Think about how you play videogames, especially RPGs. When the enemies have your level, you carefully plan your party, carefully pick your spells and budget your resources. But when you are stronger, you just mash the attack button. Discord manipulates for the sake of manipulating, but for Tirek it is just a tool to achieve his goals.

11:23 -Hostage? For who? They rid themselves of their power and for all he knows, they're gone for good. They're useless to him. As for information, I think that it's likely that the Princesses wouldn't break so easily even if he suspected that they were up to something.

sivler quill I think Discord's wink to the princess was a sign of a plan those two had for Twilight to unlock her and her friends rainbow connection cause that's is more mind blowing that way and I loved you castle being built by her friends idea it was awesome I love your mlp reviews they are fun

My 4 yr old made a point, what about all the other magical creatures? Does the baddy just want pony magic or all magic? And what about dragons? (I'm asking for a little kid, so plz be nice)

Surprised I didn't say this when I first watched this review, but there could be another intention behind the DBZ fight. Notice how Celestia makes sure never to have to actually get violent? Now look at the end result of Twilight going all out with the power of all four Alicorns. Total destruction of the area the fight took place in. Perhaps a main reason Celestia doesn't get involved is because she is fully aware that if she lost control of her emotions during a fight, she could very well kill everyone and everything around her. Just a thought.

Why Silver?! Why you bring up Prime's death!!! **goes in corner to cry**

*Paused at **14:15** to comment* My explanation for Twi's sudden ability to control the power is, simply, wrath. She lost her friends, she lost her, family, she lost her mentor and now her home and precious books. Before she was nuking it (as we say in the Navy) and over thinking as she was trying to control it. Now she is pissed and with ostensibly nothing left to lose she just lets loose, no holds barred.

Funny, but too much complaining Good episode, good villain, good Rainbow Power designs, good castle design, good everything except Celestia's plan

Think about the poor books 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😲

Silver-Quill: the Nostalgia Critic of MLP

Im furious because you laughed at the explosion of twilight's library

15:40 just be thankful they only used this for one other episode and thats it.

In the same way each of the others were tested, Twilight had to be tested. The others' were tested against their elements, and Twilight was tested against everything she learned of friendship, which is magic, her true element.

SENZU BEAN!!! "laughs so hard that am die"

Twilight Sparkle is concerned about her fandom and is feeling depressed. But there’s no time to dwell as Equestrian is in danger from the evil silver quill and the Royal Ponies can not help. Twilight travels to youtube to try and help,but she becomes separated from her friends and all seems lost. the villain’s arrogance creates an opening and the friends reunite to defeat their enemy with the power of blackmail that conveniently solves everything. Twilight learns a lesson that answers her personal dilemma and she is rewarded with a new potato

I still find it stupid that people complain that Twilight was able to use the alicorn magic so well in the fight. She wasn't trying to control it she was trying to hide it people and when Tirek knew she had it there was no point in hiding any longer so she let it all out. Sure she didn't have much control over her teleporting and flying and she also had trouble lifting the sun but those are easily explainable. Say you just suddenly got super strength and were suddenly crushing stuff and punching holes in the walls, you have control of your strength, you just can't hold it back. Its like Dash from the Incredibles holding back his speed at the end to not blow his cover. He could control his speed he just had a hard time slowing it down. As for not being able to list the sun well that isn't her talent and even with god mode she has never done it. Of course she is gonna have trouble with it.

Celestia has been turned into a pinata twice now in the series...reflecting on that is both profoundly humorous and fills me with melancholy.

"What, you think I'm just giving these away? Cause I'm not." ~TFS DBZ Krillin I can't stop busting a chuckle each time you add a TFS DBZ to some of your more recent episodes. Keep it up.

I feel like Twilight had no business complaining about having to wait to do something. She had been a princess for less than a year, while Luna was waiting on the moon for 1,000 years, and Cadance waited practically her whole life before she ruled the Crystal Empire.

*Pre-Twilight Era* Pony: "Oh no, i can't find my car keys. Better call in Starswirl"

That Prowl death wasn't the only prowl death that has haunted me. The TF2 Prowl's death broke my heart

Wow. Best DBZA reference ever. I about hurt myself laughing.

15:25 _"You didn't seriously think I let this joke go, did yooouuuu~?"_ No I didn't. In fact I was hoping for it. XD

Sorry Silver, but there's a new princess of merchandising on the block. 😆

1:14 Make that into a stuffed animal i'll buy one!! SO CUTE!

The show gave us Seabreeze and Zephyr Breeze but an amazing piece of fanart gave us Silverbreeze

16:49 - Eh, it sounds nice but I think it goes without saying that Twilight would know that her kingdom's full of friends at this point. No need to really hammer it in. Plus, after defeating Tirek, Twilight deserved to be rewarded.

My interpretation: When Celestia had all of the alicorns give their power to Twilight, she was betting that one 12 was better than four 3s. She was desperate, yes, but she also wanted to avoid Tirek doing a divide-and-conquer on the four alicorns, taking each one's power one at a time, becoming even more difficult to stop with each consumption. With Discord there, it was perfectly plausible that Tirek could win if he could eat the meal in four bite-sized chunks rather than one giant bite. Either that or she thought Twilight would be more adept at using her magic to fight than the others, which is a reasonable assumption given that Twilight's talent is magic. I... don't really get why she couldn't tell her friends or why Celestia wouldn't take a hammer or something to the stainglass windows of Twilight, but whatever.

I loved the way Pinkie uncovered the secret of the keys

Also, the castle ends up being very enigmatic like the chest. I feel like it adds intrigue. It even seems indifferent to the characters with it's own goals. Whatever it is, it could even be dangerous.

Also, Silver Quill, when will you review the Season 5 opener?

Twilight Sparkle is concerned about her farts and is feeling depressed. But there's no time do dwell as Equestria's in danger from the evil farts and the royal ponies cannot help. Twilight travels to farts to try to help, where she becomes separated from her friends and all seems lost. The villain's arrogance creates an opening, and her friends reunite to defeat their enemy with the power of farts. That conveniently solves everything. Twilight learns a lesson that answers her personal dilemma, as she's rewarded with the new farts.

Heres the word that disproves all of the problems with Celestia's plan: Desperation

1:01 - 1:06 AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DAMN IT! YOU BROKE MY AW METOR!

Am I seriously the only person that DIDN'T think the Rainbow designs actually looked good? I honestly thought they looked beautiful and I hope that we can see them again sometime... And their Crystal Pony designs. I REALLY liked those! But seriously, what is everyone's problems with them? I don't get it.

17:40 Yeah, Meghan said that the flowers were more of an apology, but she never said anything about Discord NOT having feelings for Celestia. ;) THERE'S STILL HOPE!

Hello Aizen, fancy seeing you again! Also, I guess some points in this video would make nice while some I disagree but I did laugh at all the references. XD

This is The first video ever watched of your channel and the best video of your channel of course in my opinion there are plenty of others lovely videos that you’ve made Yep quite pleasant videos thanks for being an amazing KZfaqr

Why didn't I make that Firefly reference?! I'm a horrible Brown Coat. Also, SENZU BEAN!!

Is it bad that it's 1:00am and still watching your vids? 😂

I have a theory on how Twilight was suddenly able to have such control of her magical power in her fight against Tyrek, despite being unable to do so before hand. Firstly, we need to look at how the Equestrians active their magic. They don’t say a specific spell or anything of the like, they simply use magic through thought. This means that they can use these abilities without saying a certain spell, which is sometimes required, like in Harry Potter. Now we also need to look at why Twilight was unable to control her abilities. It’s not that she couldn’t use magic as well as she could, it’s that her power essentially increased exponentially in an extremely short period of time. She still had all the control over her magic that she did before this increase, it’s just she was unable to adapt to such a dramatic increase. This led to her abilities becoming unstable due to her body not being given enough time to adapt to the change, and for her mind to be able to gauge her new limits. This is comparable to the game Morrowind in the Elder Scrolls series. In this game you can use a cheat to increase your athletics ability to insane levels, allowing you to leap continents in a single hop. However, if you are not careful, you can increase your jumping height so high that you die instantly from fall damage upon landing the jump. It’s not that your body is too weak to survive this jump; it’s just that your body can’t handle the extent of its new found abilities, and cannot cope. This means that Twilight’s still had her impressive magical power; it’s just that she continually underestimates her abilities due to what she is used to being able to do. In a nutshell, she keeps consciously thinking that she is weaker than she actually is. Now, this explains why she was unable to use her abilities prior to the fight, but it doesn’t explain why she was able to use them afterwards. The reason is something I call the Rage Effect. This is a common theme amongst fantasy literature that features magic, the character gets angry, and their power increases dramatically. The moment before the fight, Tyrek destroys her home, filled with what was previously described as the sentimental memories that made her who she was now. It also very nearly killed her pet owl. At this point, Tyrek has kidnapped and stolen the powers of her friends, draining them of their abilities, she has been betrayed by her friend who is now working with Tyrek, and her teachers have been sent into the equivalent of hell. Not surprisingly, at this point, Twilight snaps, allowing her rage to consume her. She now no longer thinking rationally or consciously about her abilities, she wants revenge. This is the Rage Effect. You no longer are consciously using your abilities, you are allowing instinct and reflex to dictate your actions. She is not thinking of what she is doing, she is just reacting, firing blasts of magical energy far beyond what she ever thought she was capable of. The Rage Effect is very similar to the real life event called the Theta State. In the Theta State, the human body becomes extremely receptive to instinct and reflexes. You are no longer consciously thinking of what you are doing, you are just moving before you are even realizing that you are doing. Your thought process is simply action and reaction. You see an obstacle in your way, you dodge it. You see someone who is going to hurt you, you defend yourself. Twilight’s Rage State is allowing her to fight Tyrek, without paying attention to her actions. She wasn’t thinking of what her next move was going to be, she was relying on her senses to warn her of what was coming, and her instincts to react. In this state, her magical output is drastically increased because of her not focusing on what she was doing. If she had stopped and thought about what she was thinking, she would have believed that she couldn’t do these things, and her conscious brain would have limited her output. Since she is not thinking, she isn’t realizing she is going past what she believes to be her limits. She is simply acting on emotion and instinct, not thought or reason. This is what enabled her to use the full potential of her magic, despite her inability to use even the simplest of spells before.

12:15 You say princess Celestia changed after the changeling attack? Became less helpful, more restrictive? More of a roadblock? 😱 Luna's beard! Celestia is a changeling in disguise!

Awesome a flying animation! I would love to see more animations of your oc..

No offense silver quill but that was very mean to twilight

This is (was) my first video that I watched by you, and I have a GREAT idea for what your channel is about: Humor, and analizing

Admin: **fangirls at Aizen** Inner Bleach self: Stop. Mlp self: so sliver watches Bleach? Sweet

Awwwwwwwwww!!! baby Silver-Quill!!!

1:04 AWWWWWWWW, BABY!SILVER

Here is what I have to say about 12:53 Welp... Not the first time Q has lost his powers. Some of you may try and correct me and say it's Discord but let's face the facts. Discord has very similar powers, an identical personality and tendency to teach the main characters a lesson through some rather roundabout and unusual means, and the same actor, John DeLancie. It's also known that Lauren Faust based Discord on Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation and wrote him with John DeLancie in mind to play the character.

6:42 *MLP theme plays* Continuity!

13:47 "NOT THE BEES!"

0:58 everyones reaction ever

That comment that Discord likes Celestia might be true. When I watched the season 7 premiere, one of the pictures on Twlight's mirror showed Discord and Celestia hanging out together.

4:31 i didn't see it so much as placing focus on titles as it did state how while each of the other princesses have a main and important role, twilight does nothing, this shows her desire to be doing something worthy of being a princess. yes this connects to her title of princess, but for anyone in a role of any kind, it is a lesson to step up and do something worth while with the role you've been given instead of just sitting back, doing nothing, and just accepting the benefits of said role.

Umm... did no else just see starlight’s four point star next to luna’s moon?8:16

Oh so that's why everyone was asking me in the comments of my review why I didn't mention Dragon Ball Z. Everyone else had done it! Yes because that's really what makes for a original review, copying everyone else! I don't get why people harp on about the new castle as just a new toy to sell, isn't that exactly what the treehouse was? One other minor thing, Twilight looks in her books for something about the box because that's what Twilight does. When she needs to know something, she looks in her books. I don't think it's inconceivable that there might have been something like the box before. I was hoping you might talk about her new title "princess of friendship". Also odd that you don't seem too bothered by how the new castle looks, but more by how it came to be. Which I don't think really matter in the long term, it's what they plan to do with it that matters.

To be fair Cadance sings "You stand here for a reason, you're gifted and you are strong. Your crown is upon your head because you belong." so I think the writers probably intended to communicate that it isn't all about titles but I agree that it didn't translate as well as it could have.

oh god that transformers scene brought back so many memories, it's just... so sad. yet I love it for some reason. traveling inside that massive transformer was so interesting at the same time as it being sad...
