I find it so funny how cosy glow breaks the book free from its lock with a book about keys. I also love how chrysalis brings it up about how the ponies have so many holidays

7:15 Of all the things for Tirek to feel sympathy for, it’s a bird. Though he did have an army of Monsters made from birds and butterflies in Gen 1.

“This is like the avengers of MLP episodes” Me: well yes but something gives me the feeling this isn’t the closest to avengers that mlp will get this season since it just seems to get bigger and bigger with every episode

Full steam ahead toward the finale CHOO CHOO

Putting a warning here now: There are spoilers in these comments! I repeat, POSSIBLE SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS.

Another successfully written episode by Michael Vogel I must say! So good to have another seasonal plot driven episode like this one. I also love how Twilight is becoming more mature when it comes to challenging situations, one of my favorite things about this episode.

20:00 I just realized the book she uses has a key on it...

Narrative twists? Discord knows something that the evil trio plans? Man, you have no idea...

“Why couldn’t they do that with lyra and bon bon this one time” to quote discord, it really does seems you just might be ready for whatever comes next!

21:25 "There are two ponies who have watched over us, night and day, for as long as we can remember." "It's Doctor and Rose!"

16:14 Last witness killed. Bounty removed from Canterlot.

Those Cantorlot Guards are just the worst! They need to go to bootcamp at the Crystal Empire. At least those guys threw spears at Sombra, before they got rolled over!

No one listen to Applejack Now she’s becoming a background pony

I know that Cozy Tyrek and Chrysalis are villains but I love seeing them work together

Seen this episode so many times, but this reaction is the first time I noticed it. 20:21, walking in the foreground, those are totally the Bronycon mascots. Blank Canvas, Hoof Beatz, and Mane Event, Baltimare's Own. Man, I'm gonna miss Bronycon. And this show, for that matter. Thanks for doing this for all of us, Red Horse. We appreciate your sacrifices (yes, I saw the Anthology video too.)

The episode was awesome, especially since we see Twilight not Twilighting and freaking out for once, and the villains did a pretty good job of delaying preparation for the celebration by distracting all those ponies.

I feel like Discord can 4th wall break but he chooses not to

I can't wait for the Star Trek episode when Grand Pear and Mudbriar go back to the 80s to get two humpback whales only to run into the Continuum. #Dreaming

This is what made me come to peace with the show ending, because... of just how calm,and n control, and developed Twilight is. Between this and the last ep......I just freaking love crazy Twilight stressing the hell out. And the show is at a place where, those bizarre, ponies going nuts over low stakes events fun is so hard to do at this point. The character have simply matured to a point they are (usually) too stable for this type of thing to keep going. Also *Commence insane cackling at those prediction*

Yas time to watch blank check while eating brown sugar and butter

16:10 Blank slate might be the only youtuber i've watched who commented on how fire that shadow work with cozy glow was

It's not often I hear you address her as "Chrissy," Blank. It's adorably funny!

RIP Lesson Zero Twilight Press F to Pay Respects

The frantic pony with his stressful personality makes him sound like Russell of Littlest Pet Shop with a hint of Double-D.

GIVE ME MORREEEEE

3:04 technically, they don't keep it all for themselves. Many have been able to go in and read certain parts of the archives, so... you're just making assumptions here, Tirek. 9:41 when I first saw this episode I wanted to call them out for forgetting that 1, Tirek wasn't able to absorb Earth Pony magic until he'd already absorbed large amounts of both unicorn and pegasus magic, 2, whenever he steals magic from a pony they're Cutie Mark vanishes and 3, Frenemies suggested he can't take magic from those who resist in his current state. Then I thought Tirek isn't absorbing magic the same way as in season 4, as back then, he took ALL the magic from each victim and here he was more taking the upper layer of magical life Force, thus Cutie Marks don't vanish and he's actually able to do it. But... later episodes show that, nope, I was right the first time. The animators just forgot those details. They also don't bother to explain why Discord doesn't notice Tirek stealing the magic, since it should be causing a magical imbalance, the thing he used to track down Tirek last time. 12:26 *cough* The Alicorn Princesses who can control the sun and Moon, love, among other crazy shit *cough* Sorry. Had something in my throat. You were saying, Cheese Legs? 16:14 the fact Celestia, Luna and the rest Learn nothing about this shows that, even under Flash Magnus's teachings... the Royal Guard are as incompetent as ever This guard finds Cozy Glow, a known criminal who SHOULD be in Tartarus, followed by Tirek (also supposed to be in Tartarus) draining his magic, something he went through before when Tirek invaded Canterlot back in season 4... and DIDN'T tell the Princesses about it? This guy needs to be fired for letting Equestria get attacked later on. If he'd bothered to inform the Princesses who'd attacked him, they'd know Tirek and Cozy Glow have gotten out of Tartarus. How, they'd still not know, but they would know they were out there and, upon checking the archives, would've realized the book about Grogar's Bewitching Bell was gone and would still be able to guess that they must have his Bewitching Bell and realize how bad that is and would've prepared for the invasion. 20:04 REALLY? The book about Grogar's Bewitching Bell, the FATHER OF MONSTERS and it's protected by a chain so flimsy smashing a simple BOOK against it breaks it? I get the joke of a book with a key on the cover being what Cozy uses to get through the chains and it is funny. But in context, clearly, when Shining Armour overhauled the castle's security, for some bizarre reason, he never considered the area WITH TONS OF SPELLS AND DANGEROUS MAGICAL ARTIFACTS to be of any concern. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Not to mention, why is IT in Canterlot when the Inspiration Manifestation book was locked behind a secret door over a seemingly bottomless pit in the ruins of the Castle of the Two Sisters? Wouldn't it have been safer THERE? 22:30 yeah, there's hidden meaning regarding Grogar and what Discord knows in that line. It's not what you'd expect though. 23:37 I... don't get what Cozy and Queen Cheese Legs are talking about here. None of the pony races turned against each other. If anything, they turned against themselves. Unicorns turned against other unicorns, the pegasi were trying to fix what they'd have seen as a huge problem caused by one of their own and the Earth Ponies thought they were sick from food poisoning from the food THEY THEMSELVES made. I don't see how they interpreted THAT into turning unicorns, pegasi and Earth Ponies against the other races. Did something happen off screen we're unaware of?

I have a feeling that Discord knows a lot more than he lets on. I like to believe he can see little glimpse of the future (after all, he could go back in time, shown in his premier), which is why he always seems to know what's about to happen. Example being at the end of this episode, second episode of season 9, etc. Eh, it's just my lil head cannon I guess.

Who else is hyped for the finale!?

Lmao someone needs to make a fanfic were Tirek is a bounty hunter XDXD

BEHOLD!!! Foreshadowing. Also, if you're complaining about LyraBon not getting enough love, just you wait!

I'm pumped for the final villain showdown

i had to Google to see when it's going to Season Finale and we have a long way to go. Evil road trip for the Villain's and this going to epic ep. oh Fanfiction idea crossover of Harry potter and input the song Celebration come on!

As we get closer to the end of the series, we can hope for a great future for mlp Hen 5.

Finally, another episode that feels less like filler and more like something that belongs in a final season.

Did this episode end up on anyone's top 10 list???

I just realised something. What if it was the Trivia Trot and what she did during it that made Twilight so determined to not freak out again? Like, after how much she freaked out over something so trivial (pun intended), she came to the realisation that if she's going to rule Equestria, she needed to do something about that problem ASAP.

18:21 Wow, that's literally what I said to my friends an hour ago lol

24:07 oh, don't worry, Blank. They've something big planned for LyraBon, but it'll be in the background, so you'll have to pay close attention

Can’t wait for your reaction of the last few episodes

This was so cool and the morale and plot were amazing. The villens are really good as a team cant waite to see what happenens next. /)(\

LEADER OF EQUESTRIA? WHAT EPISODE DID I MISS

Celestia: we don’t know what to say... Twilight: oh please, I just want a day off to grade papers

Episode starts at 2:11

21:28 the Doctor and Rose in the background sgdsvshudjehshdhdh my heartttt

19:01 people need to listen and follow what Twilight just said. With us dealing with the Coronavirusr right now as 3/24/2020

I like that it was both a hero and villains episode while lots of episodes are hero episodes

this episode is so fun that it's a shame it's held back from the masterclass it could be by plotholes

13:37 "hurricanes fuck!"

Am I the only one who adores different perspectives in an episode? Like go from one group of chars to another? Heck it's one of the reasons why I enjoy Disaster Movies.

3:12 Family road trip!

Wow, you've really been uploading these fast.

Daddy Tirek and cute daughter Cozy Glow going to Canterlot

20:09 a KEY book

Let's hope she gets the hang of the watch.

nobody think of the windigos at the end ? I mean, make the three species fight ? Come on !!!

This episode is fun

Sunset Shimmer's mother

Alicorn amulet I want this to come back it looked cool and seemed too good to forget

11:40 "We got a Lancelot over here! Ready for the joust. She doesn't even need a rider!" Although having one would be more fun. ;)

Discord Knows

dunno why but i kinda like this episode. its been my 7th time watching this specific episode and its still interesting

There are KZfaqrs posting clips from the remaining episodes with spoilery thumbnails and titles and I'm legit starting to hate them for doing it.

5:07 a.k.a we bailing! Bitches

I wonder how many pony holidays were made by Pinkie alone.

I wish the guy who wrote this wrote all of the episodes this season. *Heavy sigh*

you say that it's the "avengers of mlp" hehe just wait till the 2nd to last episode :)

Next episode is gonna make Blank squee

17:26 ILLYMATION REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next gen away good video here

Book is locked and needs a key What do you do Smash it with a book with a key on the title page duh

11:08 SERIOUSLY!?!? DOES ANYONE IN THIS SHOW READ A NEWSPAPER!?!?!? 😡😡😡😡😡

Queen Chrysalis is best pony, in this, and every episode.

in the first 200

*thumbs up for Discord "cheerleader version"*

One thing I don't get is why people celebrate the defeat of nightmare moon, but in the very first episode,, nopony knew who nightmare moon was even though they were celebrating her defeat?

It would be funny if Twilight set the sun and moon on an automatic sycle.

I can't believe that the villains are starting a race war

did he not already upload this

I'm gonna miss Mlp when the series end :(

grogar in this season isn't really grogar

Omg i think discord will save pony ville

I think using the remains of Chrysalis’ throne within the castle is a grave error on the ponies’ part. After Shining Armor used it in that sibling rivalry game, yeah. Not a good idea.

Are you going to watch mlp last episode? l will love to watch that video ❤️

Yay

Im actually kinda early for this video wow.

Is it really a setback if it’s solved in 10 minutes?

The last part makes me think they will to something to destroy harts warming eve

“I don’t stress over things anymore” *Literally spends last episode stressing over trivia* seriously how did they miss that?

What's with the audio?

Spoilers in comments, be careful!

Let me just say that: Discord fucked up! "wink wink", If you know what I mean.

So whats going to happen to the channel when gen 4 ends with your channel?

Hey Blank I dont know if you have ever seen the music video "I am Octavia" by TehJadeh if not can you please react to it

S3...

I wish there was one video where someone doesn’t talk over the show, and that he/she talks but not every 5 seconds. He/she talks and I can’t here the story line well...

I agree with you that there could be more done with the final season as its been going so far, but believe me I've seen far worse be done in recent years. I mean did you see the final season of Star Vs? XD Pointless episodes dealing with storylines no one cared about or that went nowhere. Ignoring things being set up in additional materials they were selling to their fan base. Forgetting to even foreshadow their main villain's reveal until the absolute last minute. Having multiple characters be stupid for the plot. Useless love triangle nonsense with a cliche pay off. Oh and lets not forget hand waving away the main character committing a genocide on a race of thinking, feeling and aspirating creatures with families that couldn't even defend themselves. Lol

13:08 then react to a different perspective

I Love all the Villains without Grogar

Where Starlight Glimmer and when season 9 episode 19.

Blank check twilight is not the only one ruling equestria u forget her friends. The title of the show blank check. ps not being rude.
