And we are onto Season 3! Was kind of hoping for some fan content reactions, because there are so many epic things still, and the season 2 finale unlocks so much of them for you that won't spoil. But onto the fun. Also, you don't really need to worry about missing Derpy this season, as thanks to the blowback from Derpnarock, Best pony has only one, very subtle appearance in this ep. So, anyway on to the comments! MLPxTransformers is a very common crossover, given both of them a major Hasbro franchises, and yes there is an official comic crossover between that two... two of them in fact as the first one did well enough to get a sequel, and they are just so fun! Stop Questioning The Pink One! Doyou ever see the cannon before she pulls it out? No. Do not question where it comes from. As to the scarf being all she needs.... I just chalk it up to magic scarves that keep you warm when worn. And yes, the Crystal Fair song is great! Sure it's not the best, but it is a really great, well done montage song that quickly sets things in motion and fills in needed exposition very well. Now onto let's give Shy some culture! More references they snuck in, the biggest being the whole idea of the city displaced from time is a pretty common trope, pretty much all of them (at least in Western media) taking inspiration from the Scottish legend of the town of Brigadoon. Also, Shining Armor's get up when he met the Mane 6 at the train was a total Empire Strikes Back reference! Now, onto the big issues, the talk about how strong Celestia is..... see this is one of the biggest bits of contention between the fans and the writers, as the fans tend to view Celestia as at least a demigoddess of not an outright deity, but the writers, really don't seem to have the view of her, and so we get a lot of issues like here where to the fans, it should be easy for Celestia to handle things, but the writers don't want that because this is Twilight's story. This is even worse when it's Meaghan McCarthy writing as she is one of the worst at handling the Sisters as anything but obstacles to Twilight saving the day that need to be shoved aside ASAP. Hence, them tossing Twilight this mission and not being around to help, though there is the slight justification that as far as we are aware, they did not actually know Sombra had returned. On top of that, we have more little things that just... don't really make sense when you think about them becuase they only happen becuase that's what the plot needed to happen,such as the line about how Cadance has had to maintain the shield for days becuase Shining Armor's magic was sealed by those crystals... let that only happened like ten minutes ago, so why wasn't he doing the shielding before then? Or Twilight not noticing a missing page in the book. That said, this also had a lot of good things. Sombra, while kind of mocked for his utter lack of personality beyond "CRRRYYYYSSSSTTAAAAALLLLLSSSSS" and also a near fetish level love of stairs, does remain pretty much the most competent MLP villian. Nothing about his defeat was his own fault, he did everything he reasonably could to win, made no glaring errors because of his ego... he just got out played. But still the only villain who could have done something differently to have won but made the wrong choice. Also this added so much fuel to the "Where did Cadance come from?" fire, as fanon has pretty much universally agreed that she is in some way descended from the old Crystal Empire royalty. Plus, this ep gave us one of the greatest memes in the show.... The Epic Wife Toss! Waifu go! Also,a few little hints about the future, go note that book that Celestia and Luna summoned right at the end... it had a bunch of stars and swirls on it... hmmmmm.... Great reaction, EPIC response to Pinkie Pie's Fluttersuit, and... Twilight, stop messing with Gravity! You are supposed to be an Elsecaller, RD is the Windrunner! (And none of you have the required 10 foot, titanium stick up your ass needed to be a Skybreaker.)

ahh yeah we now start the season of murder. you just saw the death of sombra and yes he is 100% confirmed dead and unless you wanna preform some crazy ass necromancy kind of BS he is never coming back from this. as for the reference to the season of murder this was the first. justified but still they ended his life thus murder. their are 2 more and when they come up I'll point it out but enjoy the shorter season you'll love the end (since your 1/2 way through season 4 already). oh and also tia is weak as f**k let her sit her weak butt down and let luna deal with the foe's. if you wonder why I say that check out fall of the crystal empire by silly filly studio's it confirms my point of view
