Welcome to the first two part finale of the show, and one that is still ranked as one of the best two parters. In large part because of just how much EVERYONE loved Queen Chrysalis. It became a meme within hours that all she had to do to get an endless supply of love to feed on was come to Earth and she'd find so many people willing to give it to her. She is the only baddie to rival Discordfor the title of most popular villain. (Nightmare moon more gets hype and love for being related to Luna and more for the tragedy of Luna giving into her darkness then for NMM herself.) Beyond that, they just plain knocked it out of the park overall. Well a few hiccups with story but, we'll get to that. Yeah this episdoe was hyped going in, with a huge event, massive ad push by Hasbro, being billed as the massive Royal Wedding... it was big and it lived up to the build up. So onto direct comments... yeah, no one knew Twilight had a brother, and given the mane 6's reaction, they didn't either. Twi just, never really got around to talking about her family it seems. Plus, a third alicorn. So... this caused issues both for fans, given how Tia and Luna were built up, and behind the scenes as Lauren Faust really, really did not want there to be other alicorns, and it's thought that this was the final straw that made her just completely leave work on the production. That said, Cadance and Shining Armor did go on to become incredibly well loved and popular characters... unless you are Silver Quill, who can't cover anything even tangentially related to them without taking digs at how much he finds them disappointing in ways that I do not get. (They mostly feel like he's upset they don't get the same focus and development as primary characters, while being secondary at best if not tertiary characters) The other thing to keep in mind... we have no idea just how long has actually passed in 'verse. It's highly unlikely it's been two years that Twilight never mentioned her brother. Also, while not directly, there has been subtle build up to this over the season. That book back in Hearts and Hooves Day, the princess was an alicorn, laying the foundation for there being others. The spell Twilight used to keep the CMC out of her house when they went all tabloid scum? Looks an awful lot like Shining Armor's...doesn't it? Also, remember how I said take note of that letter Garble tossed in the lava back in Dragon Quest? See, my headcanon is that that letter WAS Shining Armor telling Twilight about him and Cadance hooking up. But, this ep is not without it's issues that really can't be defended well either.... Where did this 'threat' come from that set everypony on alert in the first place? How did no one in the city notice the swarm outside till Chryssi mentioned them?Lots of little details that don't really add up when you think about them, which sadly... is going to bepar for the course for the two parters for the nect few seasons. So, I've talked about specific writers before and their quirks, AKR is THE Pinkie Pie writer, Dave Polsky was the slapstick writer, MA Larson is the GOAT, Merriwether Williams is.... yeah been over her. Bow we come to Meaghan McCarthy, who after Lauren leaves will be the show runner for the next few seasons, and write all the big two part eps in that time and... as a show runner she did great, as a writer... she has issues. Many we see here, though they get worse later on. The most systemic being she is a very 'because the plot says so' writer, who tends to have things happen simply because that's what the story needs to happen, rather then make sure there is a solid, logical reason in 'verse for it to happen. But on top of that..... she really, really does not know what to do with the Royal Sisters. For her, Twilight is the main character who needs to solve the problem (Or Cadance sometimes) while Tia and Luna are just overpowered roadblocks that need to be yeeted out of the story ASAP so they don't get in the way of Twilight saving the day. Hence, Celestia going down like a chump. This is, admittedly, the most understandable of the losses,since many make the argument she was holding back her power to avoid collateral damage with so many ponies around, and even Chryssi was shocked she overpowered her. But.... well we'll get to later eps later.... In more general fandom memory, this gave us a wonderful new art style to work with, Pointy Ponies, we got a rare glimpse of Wildfire, aka Sibsy Pony (The mare that got hit my Cadance's cupid effect in Twi's flashback) the OC of Sibsy, one of the lead storyboard artists for the show. We got SOOOO many fics about what Luna was doing, from her being off kicking ass elsewhere, to her sleeping through the fight and just grumbling about ponies needing to keep it down. Ohhh and Doomie! The Changeling that Pinkie Pie had turn into various Mane 6 before beating up, because "Do me! Do me!" Plus above all else, this solidified the meme of "Cue happy Theme Music!" The tendency of two parters to have part one end on some massive shocking twists of "Oh shit WHAT!?" and everything looking horrible..... only to go right into bright, happy credit music. Season 2 done, and now, you have SOOOO much fan content you can binge and see, since this unlocks just, tons of stuff given how big a force the Changelings and Chryssi became in the fandom!

oh how I love and utterly F*ing despise this finale. first the love. I love our new queen all hail chrysalis she is undeniable best pony. now I know you are gonna doubt and say so and so is best pony and you are 100% right they are best pony but heres the kicker Chrysalis can be ANY pony. thus she is best pony by default now onto why I F*ing hate this episode. forgive me for being so bitter but from day 1 we have been taught FREINDSHIP is magic it's the magic of your friends and when twi is pointing out that cadence is a horrible evil pony they all the ALL turn their backs on twilight and f*ing condone her. after all these years this still pisses me off so much. *deep breathe* but I love this episode we get best pony finally (sorry Seraphem)
