Yeah, the episode's name is a reference to the Hatfields and McCoys. Long story short, the Hatfields and McCoys were two American families who lived in the Appalachian Mountains in the late nineteenth century. A member of one family killed a member of the other family, which eventually lead to a decades-long feud between the Hatfields and McCoys, resulting in many violent and unnecessary deaths. It's actually a fairly well known story in the United States. As a side note, the episode also references the Smokey Mountains, which are a famous portion of the Appalachian Mountains.

I know you changed your opinion afterwards, but I think you said something very important there: "It's too plain for an MLP episode". I don't know, but it seems like everybody's expectations are too high these days. It's like MLP has become this series where people expect its each episode to be some grand adventure with twists and huge storylines and lessons. Seems like many have forgot what made most of us fall in love with this series in the first place: the fact that it was simple and lighthearted, with good stories and great characters. :)

By the way Luffy, will you be taking any requests for reactions during MLP's next hiatus? :) There are a few great shows I'd love to see more reactors watch, but unfortunately not many do.

During the MLP hiatus, I'm hoping to get through Drawn Together and Space Dandy. As for requests, most are taken with a grain of salt because I only react to things I have a personal investment or interest in beforehand, buuuttt.... guaranteed reactions happen if someone requests it through patreon. It's the $5 reward tier that allows for video suggestions. :)

@Dairo5128 жыл бұрын
So now it's canon that Twilight is physically stronger than Fluttershy. Twilight doesn't strike me as the kind of jerk who would load up heavier bags for her friend than for herself, but she prances and flits easily under her saddlebags while Flutters can barely move. Given that Fluttershy can pull a balloon filled with four of the 6 fast enough to catch Rainbow Dash, that really says a lot about both the bags and Twilight.

@Dairo5128 жыл бұрын
RubberyCat You mean the one where two flight-oriented ponies on foot pulling a wagon loaded with four chased after four Earth ponies also on foot with a good head start and only one pony in the wagon? Motivation, probably. I imagine Fluttershy didn't really want to chase Applejack. She tends to swing wildly between a burden and a boon, depending on how she's feeling. Also, dramatic effect. Twilight could have just levitated Applejack or teleported the 5 of them into her carriage.
@RubberyCat8 жыл бұрын
Dairo512 To me, it is more the matter that pegasi seems to be built for speed, and may pull easily, but not carry as much, also explaining how Flutter could catch up RD while pulling the balloon, while RD was weighted down by Pinkie and Rarity in Return of Harmony(pt 2). In the chase, she is also running alongside RD, and _they DO catch up_. On Twilight's abilities, I guess that mass teleportation and mass levitation of small things is not the same as doing the same with big things. Also, it is a part of the pattern that was forming, that Twilight knows so much, but frequently she gets caught up in the tension, and forgets even some basic abilities.

I had a few gripes with this episode, but one I'd like to hear your thoughts on, if you would so indulge me, Luffy. One big gripe I have with this episode is honestly one that's...kinda hampering my opinion of this more than I feel like it should be. And it's the fact that were it not for the fact that the animals that knew the reason for the conflict, Fluttershy would have no reason to be here. In the map episodes thus far, the paired ponies always split off and do their own things to try and resolve the conflict. Dash looked for treasure while Ponks criticized Gilda's bonemeal, Rarity helped Coco get around while Applejack toiled away, and in this Twilight tried a bunch of tactics to resolve the confict and Fluttershy...was just kinda...there, I guess. It's not a problem with the fact that Flutters wasn't really trying to help, because this kind of situation is way too tense of a powder-keg for her to even begin to want to dig her hooves into it. But I just feel like they could have had her do at least ANYTHING else other than just wait around to be a translator. (I dunno if saving the animals counts, because nearly any time animals are in danger in the same scene as Fluttershy she saves them.) Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some sleep I'm avoiding getting to.
@luffyiscool8 жыл бұрын
I'm now of the opinion that that's what they might have been going for. Fluttershy spent most of the episode protecting the animals, and then it was revealed that it's exactly what the families were supposed to be doing before the feuding happened. So it was supposed to be symbolic, I guess.

I can see that Sparkle is so full of herself. I know she can do better, but its like there some kind of sense of superiority and maybe egoism that ruins her character.
@MsPandacakes8 жыл бұрын
+Leonid Saykin ; It's not egoism, it's the fact that she knows she's a princess so she knows its her duty to settle disagreements, so (like with Celestia) she does whatever she thinks she needs to do in order to live up to the title and not to disappoint anyone. You are not royalty, so you wouldn't have that problem, however; if you have any responsibilities in life, you would know that you must try your best to fulfill that responsibility at any means necessary. In my case, its taking care of my family and doing the chores and errands; if someone or something gets int he way of my responsibilities, I put them in their place. in hers, its trying to do what's right in Friendship, and tried using her knowledge gained over the years to settle the disagreement. However, in cases like this, sometimes you can't be prepared for it, and need to learn a new way to go about solving them. In this case, she needed Fluttershy and her ability to speak to animals who knew the story and how to fix the situation. She wasn't confident because she's full of herself, she seemed confident because she wanted to believe what she learned would work. When it didn't, she lost faith in herself because she didn't realize not everything can be prepared for. Hence saying "I didn't need my portfolio to do it"
@windwaker4078 жыл бұрын
+Leonid Saykin Like Kayter said, it's not that she's full of herself. She's not going around like "Oh, I'm better than everyone, and you all need to listen to me." It's more like "I am a princess and it is my job to be a leader and I need to live up to that title." She only acts higher than others because the expectations for her are higher than others. It's basically her desire to live up to the title she's been given that makes her sound egotistical. She's trying to be the reliable, independent figure she thinks she needs to be

Maybe you change your mind further in but half way through you're calling it boring. I have to agree. I actually couldn't find this to download for ages and only watched it like two weeks ago myself (I avoided all reactions as well) but when I finally watched it, I was just disappointed. There were one or two nice moments but I didn't care about the conflict and everything was just dull... This is first reaction to it that I'm watching and the second watch isn't changing much for me.

+Luffyiscool The Hatfields and McCoys that this episode was based off of were two Southern U.S. families who had a long and bloody feud. It's not a well-known thing outside of our country, so I wouldn't expect you to know about it. 1. 2:14 Twilight: "Isn't this exciting?" I've never seen Twilight so eager to show off her butt. 2. 4:08 "It's to see them using the balloon." First time since Spike At Your Service (s3, e9), I think. 3. 4:58 "What if they're celebrating Nightmare Night, and flinging pumpkins?" Or maybe they're just big fans of Smashing Pumpkins? :) 4. 10:35 What's with the barrage of tomatoes? Is Discord doing stand-up somewhere? 5. 11:28 Why did Fluttershy spit out that hay? I thought they ate hay! 6. 13:46 Ma Hooffield: "It's an apology cake!" Luffy: "It's a Trojan horse, isn't it?" Take your pick: Helen of Troy reference, or Portal reference. 7. 16:43 "The lips made it look like Twilight said that!" Were you reminded of her table manners in Twilight Time? 8. 17:43 "I wonder if anyone else ran into this problem." A group of three called PonyWatch had the same copy that you did. Since you ended up having a much different opinion of the episode later due to technical issues, that makes me curious. Can you remember the last time that your first impression of an episode changed dramatically after rewatching and seeing other people's reactions? (For me, it was Pinkie Pride. I loved the episode to bits, but I was worried that others might not because I thought it was only Weird Al that had made the episode great. It took me seeing the episode through other people's eyes, including those few who did not know who Cheese Sandwich was, to see how it was a terrific episode on its own merits as well.)
