“Never wanted to slap a filly more.” My thoughts, exactly.

How can Tirek have a pen-pal, you ask? Need I remind you how one mailpony was able to make his way into the realm of chaos all by his lonesome in order to deliver Discord's tickets to the gala? Spearheaded by Derpy, those who work for the Equestria Postal Service are basically expected to be planeswalkers.

if she succeded we'd need to call the show My Little Emperor:Friendship is Power

The one helpful thing the royal guard has done in 8 seasons was assist capturing a little girl.... let that sink in

For Starlight, all she really wanted was friends that wouldn't abandon her. Not for power, but just to not be alone. Which she got thanks to Twilight. Cozy's just in it for power.

4:04 "What's with that design?" Earlier this year, at HASCON, Hasbro held a raffle where two people could get OC's representing them inserted into this episode, and this was one of the winners - won by a little girl named Natalya. The other one, who has the sort of shaved head and glasses (he first appears across the table from Silverstream when she's doing that crossword puzzle at 4:18, but appears most prominently in that scene where Sandbar is carrying those books in his mouth at 14:57), was won by Equestria Daily contributor The Illustrious Q.

Let this sink in people They just sentence a young filly to spend the rest of her life in literal hell.

Big Jim said that Tartarus still has some of the things normal prisons do, like sending and receiving letters. But the problem with that is.... NO ONE was screening letters to/from TIREK of all people?? XD

They have a mail system is Discord's dimension. Why is a mail system in Tartarus implausible? Sure enough, at the start of the episode, she was seen looking through the mail that Derpy sent. A letter from Tirek must have been in there.

Cozy was legit following the same plan as Hitler. 1; Gain the public's support during a crisis. 2; Slander and villianize those who were against her. 3; Use that support to rise to power. 4; Rule the world.

Cozy Glow got what she deserved. I also hope season 9 cuts down on the attempted Yona murder. I don't know how much more I can take seeing the precious cinnamon roll in mortal peril.

Neighsay is, what is often referred to as a red herring.

Rarity: I'll get you a towel, darling. Me: Where are you going to find a towel in that place?

When the magic was being restored, an orb flew to Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie. Pinkie magic confirmed!

“How are you the most hatable villain we’ve ever had?” I agree. Out of all the major villains of MLP, Cozy is the one I dislike the most.

Here's what I think might happen. Sombra will somehow come back in the season 9 premiere and him, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow will team up the with the big bad of the series finale.

What did DWK say? stop trying to kill Yona!

This is my personal favorite finale, and my fourth favorite episode of the season. Cozy Glow is my favorite of the unreformed villains, and my third favorite villain overall.

About Cozy Glows sentence. She intentionally tried to drain and remove magic from Equestria, if not the world. She wasn't remorseful at all when she was beaten. Considering the fact that probably counted as treason in that world and that in our world that would usually end in execution… yeah, imprisonment in Tartarus was only possible sentence that could be done in a kid's show. Starlight, while I'll admit got off with a slap on the wrist for something just as bad if not worse, was remorseful for her actions when she was shown one of the possible results of her actions. So, yeah, in a long winded way of saying. Cozy deserved to be locked up.

4:28 i never realized how silver stream and cozy has such similar color scheme till now, nor did i realized she is supposed to be in cloudsdale and not at the school until now

Pre-finale predictions: CosyGlow is actually Chrysalis.Mid-finale comments/predictions: That's even more horrifying. Sheesh. I feel like the Crusaders and/or Sandbar's gonna get captured now... After finishing the finale: ... I am gonna have nightmares.

*School Raze: 4.5/5* I knew it! What I liked: Everything! Disliked: Cosy Glow, you evil, insufferable, manipulative little pop tart! And Twilight's in it. Overall: It was awesome!

Starlight did lot of wrong, but for the right reasons - Friendship and Harmony - and then vengeance for losing it. Cozy Glow did much right, but for the wrong reason - Personal Power.

I knew Cosy Glow was going to be the thumbnail. And the first song that plays in the video. To fitting.

It's not my favorite season finale, but it's definitely in my top 4, and it's definitely the craziest one yet. I definitely thought Cozy Glow was suspicious myself, but I thought the ultimate villain was gonna be Neighsay. Not only would he have the motive to wanna do this to get back at Twilight after the opening and Friendship University, but there was that plot point of Twilight's lesson plans being leaked, which meant there was a spy in Twilight's school, not to mention Episode 22 showed that Cozy Glow seemed pretty racist just like Neighsay. My prediction was that Cozy Glow was the spy for Neighsay, and they actually made it seem like it was gonna play out that way, but I never could imagine that she'd be a protege for Tirek let alone the one responsible for nearly dooming the entirety of Equestria, and my god I never expected a filly to be this evil and cunning. Most evil and manipulative character yet, and she just was intelligent on top of that compared to most villains. I don't think the punishment was too harsh. She may be a filly, but she knew full well what she was doing was wrong, and what she nearly did was more destructive than any other villain in this show, so sending her to Tartarus, which is the equivalent of hell, was a fitting punishment in my eyes. Overall, great finale, and sweet Celestia I'm terrified of what fillies can do now. Doesn't really help with that cliffhanger either

I think they locked her up because she showed no signs of remorse or any signs of learning from her mistake. She wasn't even sorry lol. Also i think Chrysalis is gonna be the final villain in the the last season

Cozy Glow working for/related to Neighsay theory that I've been operating under...just been dashed.

Ponies are not humans. While there are, of course, similarities, their general behaviour like lack of greed, kindness to strangers or lack of violence are major differences between pony kind and humanity. Therefore you can't apply everything that goes for humans to ponys as well. To be more precise, I'm talking about the treatment of children. While yes, sometimes they can act "childish", the ponys usually recognize that "being a child" is only comparable to "lack of experience in certain areas of live" and not like in our world to "being stupid and naive as well as living in a fantasy world not being able to recognize how the real world is and how it works". Although sometimes, just like human adults, grown up-ponys don't take foals seriously and underestimate of what they are capable of, as well. Foals have demonstrated multible times to mature faster than human children and sometimes even be more "grown up" then adults. Heck, as we saw with Twilight in the Equestria Girls movies, when she crossed into the human world, she took on the form of a teenage girl meaning her pony age is aquivalent to that of a human teenager making her in the eyes of the american law (for some reason) a child. Yet look at all she has done already. Cozy Glow has demonstrated her supirior intellect and manipulation abilities being able to fool everyone, including the adults around her. Instead of saying "She's just a kid" and underastimating her by not fully recognizing her as a threat, which would have given her the oppurtunity to do something worse, the ponys were smart enough to recognize that she is very dangerous and made sure she wouldn't cause any more harm. In pony culture, which is NOT our culture, as well as in the eyes of those smart enough to not underestimate those who are younger, it was definitly the right decision to lock her up in an unescapable prison where no harm can be done by her.

14:31 i love how aj brings out the insect repellent after it started raining, after all of the flies are gone, good job, 10/10 aj

Harsh!? What else could they do? Her advanced knowledge at a young age and what she did with it only makes her more dangerous to Equestria.

Yona almost died . . . again

Finale Rankings: 1. Season 4 2. Season 2 3. Season 6 4. Season 8 5. Season 7 6. Season 5 7. Season 3 8. Season 1 (I like all of these finales by the way)

There are a million ways the CMC could have gotten out of that closet faster, those rings on the bucket are iron, could just yeet that shit trough the window.

So Cozy Glow was a wolf in sheep's clothing. She acted cute and helpful, while all this time she was a criminal mastermind and power hungry lunatic, like Sunset Shimmer. I think this is the first time we have seen a juvenile delinquent in the series. It's a good thing that the students, the mane 6, the princesses, and the royal guards were able to stop her, and Neighsay admitted that he was wrong about using friendship as a weapon against ponies. He might turn over a new leaf. However it's too early to celebrate. It's obvious that Cozy and Tirek will join forces to escape from Tartarus and seek revenge. And Chrysalis is still out there. If the three of them team up, Equestria is going to be in grave danger. Since Chrysalis knows where the Elements of Harmony are, if she and Tirek would absorb the elements power, not only will it give them great power, but I think they'll transform Cozy into a demon pony to make her their helper, similar to what Sunset Shimmer did to Snips and Snails. How would Cozy's parents react to that? Maybe they will appear next season, but if Cozy transforms into a demon I think they'll be scared to stop her. And if Chrysalis and Tirek find a way to revive the Storm King and King Sombra Equestria is going to be in even bigger danger. And why didn't Tempest Shadow, Queen Novo and Princess Skystar appeared in the season? It's true that Queen Novo appeared in Silver Stream's Hearth's warming story, but that dosen't matter. If Emily Blunt(Tempest's voice), Uzo Aduba(Novo's voice), and Kristin Chenoweth(Skystar's voice) are too expensive, can't the writers find cheaper voice actresses? Guess it's easier said than done. I hope Queen Novo will appear next season and she'll give Twilight and her friends magic pearl necklaces as a sign of forgiveness, a reward for defeating the Storm King, for educating her niece, and for helping her nephew decide where to live. And if the Storm King revives next season the ponies will really need the hippogriffs help. The ponies might also need the help of Tempest, and in exchange the princesses will find a way to restore her horn. Star Swirl might also assist in that. Maybe next season we'll find out how did Cozy become Tirek's protégé. Also Cozy was talking about taking the magic to another realm. I think that might have something to do with next year's March Equestria girls movie.

"Never wanted to slap a filly more." Uhh... Excuse me? What did you just say?!

I wanted to see how Discord was handling this, if he even was effect, living in another realm.

Loved your reaction and I loved the finale! Though I have to agree with you that sending a little kid to Tartarus was a bit harsh. Then again she did try to completely eliminate something that was essential to not just ponies but other creatures. It’s like someone trying to get rid of all of our air or water. Idk, that’s how I see it.

What if Cozy Glow is a grown mare stuck in a filly's body?

Ohhhh noo pinkie magic is gone Wai wai wait a minute pinkie magic actually exist

I'm a little surprise you didn't react to Rarity helping Rainbow up.

The journey to Season 9 is going to be long.

Pinkie pie sorta went over how cozy did it when they were talking about ways to get out - basically cozy used the key they used to get in to get it just it didn't break when she didn't cause it wasn't getting its magic drained yet (at least how I see it why it broke after they used it)

I still can't believe they had Tirek go all in on that Silence of the Lambs parody.

This was worth the wait, now...we wait for Season 9

Yes! finally somebody uploaded their reaction to this awesome finale!

Twilight : Your graduation is in another castle

Was getting ready to internally scream my eyes out when KZfaq suddenly went down as soon as I clicked the video!!!!!!!! Can’t miss this!!!

I'm surprised discord didn't show up, yes by the second day he would have lost his magic but what about the first day when only unicorns lost their magic? Also what's with cozy glow, like what's wrong with her? Who are her parents? How did she contact Terek? Why does a 4 year old want to rule equestria and how did she become so evil and manipulative in the first place? Ugh so many questions!!

Apparently Tartarus doesn't have a prison warden who searches all the mail. Unlike real world prisons where that is the case for obvious reasons.

*Second best finale ever* OK! I can finally write this comment Soooo... this was my second favorite two parter In MLP and probably one of the top 10 episodes in the show ever Cozy... oh man this filly... she is the best... I LOVE that kind of villans who are super f up but are very deep and man Cozy's character is definitely super deep and I can say that without even hearing her backstory... I mean unless writers decide to f it up like they did with Starlight but I hope they won't She is so smart, I especially love the part where she sees through the CMC's plan and comes up with such a great plan in meer minutes... I mean her plan there was so good, she knew that they would be next to the artefactsand that she has no chance against them so she decided to take the crowd with her that's so smart And what animators did with her character is just masterpiece, her cutie mark, her faces, the way she moved it all was so good that it was able to split the fandom in half because it was just so saddle and that's something I can appreciate I was really disappointed that pegasus didn't stop flying but I've got a theory for it: Cozy didn't take Pegasus magic(because it's not those wings that are lifting them up for sure, so it has to be magic) because of 2 reasons 1. it's not as dengerous as for example unicorn magic which could stop her immediately so that's why she took it in the first day 2. she is a Pegasus herself so it comes handy for her And we also know she didn't take ALL the magic because than everypony would look like they did back in season 4 finale and that wouldn't be good for her too because she wanted to make friends with them And here's a cute details that you might have missed: Cozy Glows crown is made with duck tape I think it's super cute

>never wanted to slap a filly more Careful RD your Endless side is showing.

for some reason at the end I thought they were going to send her to the equestria girls world

Payoff with Cozy Glow was great. As for locking her in Tartarus, she's a complete sociopath with an unhinged mind so it doesn't seem like a step too far. At first I thought her plan was kind of goofy, interpreting her lessons to think that literally having the most friends would make you the most powerful pony. By the end though, her plan fit her damaged outlook so I think it was alright. Honestly, her plan sounds like a metaphor for social media and how people think that having the most "friends" and "followers" makes you more special than others.

Been waiting for someone to do a full reaction so I could watch this episode

6:05 Stop trying to kill my Yona!

Yeah this is a fun finale, thanks for another fun season of reactions. I can't wait for next season! ^^

Both Cozy Glow and Tirek tried to steal everyone’s magic and they got sentenced to IMPRISONMENT IN HELL. Starlight came extremely close to LITERALLY DESTROYING THE ENTIRE WORLD, and received no punishment. Conclusion: Stealing magic is far worse than causing destruction on a global scale. Now that’s some strange logic.

The one thing I haven't heard anyone talking about is that an orb of magic hit Pinkie at the end as well as Twilight and Rarity. What does this mean? Pinkie's fourth wall breaking is MAGIC

If I'd have to point out one flaw in this finale it would be that the solution to the problem was so forced, I mean wtf it wasn't even their friendship or whatever it was just the Tree because it got mad, really makes me feel for Cozy because her plan was basically perfect I mean how could she have predicted that some stupid tree would just decide to fuck her up

10:28 "i've finally learned that it's ok to count on your friends for help" said Twillight the prinsess of friendship 8 season into friendship is magic....

Ah finally! I've been waiting for your reaction

You know she's coming back in season 9. That evil smile says it all.

15:43 that Pegasus ate a devil fruit...

If there’s one thing I learned, it’s to never trust anyone that’s supposed to look adorable because they are secretly evil just like cozy glow

“That seems a bit... harsh?” Raritydash, please. She almost drained all the magic from Equestria JUST to trap the Mane 6 + Spike so she could take over the school and become the “Empress Of Friendship.” Let that sink in. Draining Equestria’s Magic was Tirek’s plan. Draining Equestria’s Magic was only a PART of Cozy Glow’s plan, a means to an end. She’s smart, she’s dangerous, but most importantly she has a sociopathic disregard for the effect of her actions on others. She is a monster that belongs in Tartarus.

The new filly with multicolored Mane in the beginning and one stallion with blue mane and glasses are apparently OCs of people who won a contest.

How did the CMC not get taller by now!? I mean did you hear how deep their voices got!?

Only MLP can make "Hey neighbour! Want to be Friends?" seem so sinister...

I'm assuming the whole 'Mean 6' thing is the show that Chrysallis is basically alone now since Thorax took over command of the Changelings. This may be leading to the final build up for the Gen4 finale when she finally accepts a hoof of friendship rather than slap it away like she did to Starlight before. Then she'll probably go through her final design change as the other changelings did. At least that's my theory of how it'll all end.

51:20 remember that it's not the last we've seen of her and we haven't heard her backstory yet

Best start to any MLP episode!

Yeah, not only did this TV-Y series introduce us to a very young psychopath, but they also imprisoned The Good Pegasus in the equivalent of Hell... Yeah, I am seeing absolutely nothing wrong here. X)

I like how everyone was thinking that too many villains are reformed. Then we get a not reformed villain and then everyone's like That way to extreme. It's just like, come on. This is what you wanted right?

-Is this episode to warn little kids about School Shootings at an early age?- Discord basically has control over all of reality in the palm of his hands, Instead of going through all this trouble, Discord could've just *felt like* bringing all Magic back, and we'd be done. 45 MINUTE SEASON FINALE HE DIDN'T EVEN APPEAR ONE SINGLE TIME

Why does everyone one ask why did they lock her up I'm getting tired of explaining so just think about it, what were they supposed to do with her?

Cozy Glow tried to steal all the magic in Equestria, just like Tirek. Stealing all the magic means the sun, moon and weather couldn't be controlled. Plants couldn't grow, half the planet would roast while the other half froze. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods are just a handful of the terrible weather that could happen. Equestria would be doomed without magic. Not to mention Cozy didn't feel guilty in the slightest and was going to try to take over Equestria again until she was caught. The fact is she committed the exact same crime as Tirek and got the same punishment.

Great Finale. Great Season.

“I’ve never hated a filly more” BUT YOU NEVER HATED DIAMOND TIARA?! 💎 👸

Sending a filly to Prison/Hell! MLP everyone! I get why they did it and she deserved it, but still very odd to me. I guess people can't say the show is all about forgiveness after this!

6:17 this is how cozzy takes us all out...even discord...

47:07 Tartarus is basically like Jail. The only difference is the inhabitants really. There's no real punishment or hardships.

On the one hand locking a child in Tartarus might seem a tiny bit harsh, but it's where ponies put the biggest threats to Equestria and despite not having any magic of her own, she did almost remove all magic, imprison one of the princesses and her friends forever and send seven innocent* people to another dimension and was completely unrepentant. That puts her pretty high on the threat list in my opinion and hey, maybe they'll find somewhere more suitable to keep her later but for the moment they have to put her somewhere and Equestria's number one maximum security prison seems like a pretty good option at least for the short term. (*okay, relatively innocent in Starlight's case - she's not done anything villainous for quite some time now)

I'm totally on-board with Cozy's harsh prison sentence. She's dangerously psychotic, very cunning, and almost succeeded in her plan. You don't just throw someone like that in a regular cell or even a padded room.

Neighsay's medallion is basically parallel to Doctor Strange's sling ring

I mean, it’s not like she tried to drain all the magic from Equestria and take over the world. Being young just made it easier for ponies to trust her.

But was she really just a normal filly? o.o I mean... She NEVER acts like a normal filly... only this fake innocent act she's ALWAYS pulling.... and heck when she's talking to starlight she straight up says ''You ponies'' as if she doesn't even associate herself with other ponies o.o And then there's the nature of her crime.... Sure she's a filly... But she literally tried to take away MAGIC FOREVER from the entire world... and as we saw there's a ton of magical creatures that would completely cease to be if that happened... heck the ponies would LOSE THEIR WAY OF LIFE and without hands it could set their society back to almost being nothing but ''animals'' :/ Magic is what makes them what they are... So yeah... the ONLY villain that got even close to this kind of apocalypse level of crime was Tirek himself....

She deserved it. She tried to imprison them in tartarus and almost removed Starlight from reality

The EEA Medallion is an Infinity Stone and Neighsay is Doctor Strange. C O N F I R M E D ! ! ! !

Twilight being so protective of Spike 😊

I think they had no choice but to lock her in Tartarus. I mean, she made the choice to seek forbidden knowledge (draining magic) from Tirek. She's too dangerous to allow to be free.

Oh god, those Hannibal Lecter references on Tirek. Cannot unseen that know, both of them: silence of the lambs and red dragon

I'm glad they finally locked someone up on screen!

Actually the mean Six episode proved that the tree of Harmony can think and react to attacks on its own.

In the Rainbow Factory......

Pinkie said “secret admirer” while hugging Rarity and Rainbow Dash… Coincidence? I THINK NOT!!!

The Chimera is the same one from “Somepony to watch over me”. Notice how it was absent from the Fire Swamp in “Road to Friendship”?

Want to point out the elephant in the room. When all the magic returned to everyone, anyone notice a piece of magic returning to Pinkie. Not Applejack, RD or Fluttershy. Just Pinkie. It returning to Twilight and Rarity was obviously going to happen. But the fact it happened with Pinkie too...

There are still so many unanswered questions about Cozy Glow!

44:11 My friends & I'm disappointed ! (Slaps on cozy glow) What's wrong with you ? Cozy glow: It's my empire of friendship ! (Punches stomach,slap on head,eye poke on cozy) (Cozy glow and mane seven slapping her) Mane seven: why you... oggy: And you & the two idiots get away ! (Slaps on roaches) Mane seven: You say the truth and now ! Cozy glow: No I'm not tired... (Pulls cozy hair,triple punches in stomach,and bonk cozy glow head,shaking cozy) (Mane seven found a hammer and hits cozy glow) Good night,filly stupid ! (Hits joey marky and dee dee) Oggy: And you too and two imbeciles !

I like how they imprisoned Cozy. You can't use friendship to reform that which uses it for evil.
