My blind reaction to episode 23 of Season 8 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Sounds of Silence.
Yeah. Getting rid of your voices and emotions was probably a bit of an overreaction.

Man, I hope kirin show up more in S9. These designs are gorgeous. 3:51 My friggin' train sits in the station for twenty minutes while the conductor strolls to the other end and this sucker IMMEDIATELY reverses. 4:20 "You're doooooooomed!" 22:54 The best song of the season and one of the best of the series, but you're right: if they'd just changed "never" to "finally" it'd be flawless. (EDIT: Oh, and change "left the couch along" to "left the couch behind". EDIT EDIT: I stand corrected in replies, it's "left the couch, alone...") I'll never understand why near-perfect cartoon songs make it onscreen with easily fixed/avoided misfires in the lyrics. Applejack citing "hand" rather than "hoof" in True True Friend; Music Meister's "there is no car that is surpassed" rather than "no car so unsurpassed" in Drives Us Bats. I know the people behind the scenes aren't as devoted as the rabid fan, and it's "just" a cartoon, but come on guys, you're supposed to be professionals. Do another take.

This episode is good in that people can find different things to relate to. I suffer with anger management issues; so I'm constantly having to keep from turning into a Nirik with family, friends, or in public. I have gotten in trouble in the past when I've let it get away from me, but I usually remember that adage of going off somewhere to vent and cool off before doing something drastic.

@matthewcrombie3630 5 жыл бұрын

Well, there's no doubt that if she had been sent, she'd figure out the solution to the problem in a heartbeat seeing as how she's had to learn how to manage her anger quite a few times.

@matthewcrombie3630 5 жыл бұрын

thebeav PercabethFTW Hmm... Well, Villain Starlight mostly just wanted to spread her twisted form of Equality and rid the world of Cutie marks as a result, but the Stream of Silence doesn't really accomplish that, but merely suppresses most emotions and prevents speech...I'm taking this too seriously, aren't I? Although, I have to wonder... If she did know about the Stream, do you think she'd consider taking a dive into it to suppress all that abandonment, loneliness, and anger she had at the time? Would Starlight wish not to care? Would she want to be rid of the pain of loneliness that much to where she would sacrifice her voice, and kill off her ability to feel anything just to escape it? ...Better question: Would she do it now if given the chance?

@phantomslay5612 5 жыл бұрын

Fluttershy was really rude tho too. She abandoned applejack without saying anything and then she yells at her

@arellajardin2323 5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, Fluttershy was on point. My main issue is with AJ, who upon meeting a new race who seem mute and there’s zero indication they could talk, she gets angry and keeps trying to trick them into talking. She doesn’t even try asking Yes/No questions, she just throws a fit right in their faces. I’d half expect her to push a paraplegic’s wheelchair down a flight of stairs, suspicious they might really be able to walk.

@seraphywang4638 5 жыл бұрын

@@arellajardin2323 Aj was super impatient which us weird because she's suppose to be the most patint one. I think rainbow shoud've gone instead andskip the another pair was called again thing. There was probably one scene that I really couldn't agree was Fluttershy and was the scene where Fluttershy specifically said that its okay to lose your feelings because of an "accident". She doesn't even listen to what aj just said. Then she proceeds to accept it without even apologize to aj that she yelled at her. Even though Aj apologised at least each time she was saying something wrong. She's apologised before but for the sake of the episode to make a point, they made both of them go out in a way that so unlike them. Especially in a episode where the most coolest looking creatures are introduced and the best kirin.

@arellajardin2323 5 жыл бұрын

I’m aware it’s a kids show that teaches lessons. And I make allowances for story contrivances a lot of the time. But it doesn’t hurt to point out character inconsistencies, and that doesn’t mean I want them to be perfect. It would have actually worked better with Rainbow Dash, it fits her character better to act that way. I get it, we all get frustrated with the analysts who try and suck the fun out of everything, while holding a kids cartoon to the same standards as great literature. But a degree of consistency in characterization isn’t too much to expect.

@frankbrislin4378 5 жыл бұрын

@@seraphywang4638 , I'm always up to seeing Rainbow ane Fluttershy. There's just something about those two; they're my favorite friendship of the show. I also love the chemistry between Rainbow ane Pinkie; I cannot picture them both as pegasi in generation 5, their being different is what makes them work. I also love Rainbow and Scootaloo; seeing them compete in the Sisterhooves Social was such a treat. Some of course found it odd that it had a pie eating contest after 'Secrets and Pies'; but I say she did it for Scootaloo which is a testament to how much she loves her. Also I think her competitive nature helped push her along.

This was a very good episode. Definitely loved the moral the episode taught, and I'm happy to say that Autumn Blaze is someone I hope returns, even if she probably won't because she's a guest VA. But the whole Kirin/Nirik situation does raise a strange question: Is Starlight part-Kirin? It would certainly explain how her anger can create a blood-red hurricane of power that spills out of her horn, and it would explain why we don't know who her mother is... Okay, yes, stupid theory, but it's just a question.
