Hey y'all. Today we have the second (I meant 3rd) episode from season 4 of MLP ahead of us:
A: Castle Mane-ia. B: "Castle Mane-ia"...
Yeah, it's about a scary castle and soon we will see what kind of scary castle it is about.
I am curious about what we can expect. But we will see that soon. 3, 2, 1 and... GO.
Hehe, the face!
B: I think it's so awesome that she can fly! A: Yeah, it's cool!
Now she is twice as nerdy thanks to being able to fly, thanks to flying power!
B: Hehe, cute! A: Look at how much she's rejoicing about it! "Yay!"
B: Ok, he doesn't like no spiders apparently. A: He doesn't like the whole setting...
It's too scary for him.
The new intro!
A: The new old intro which is a little new. B: Yeah...
B: The quality really is good, I'm marveling. A: Yes.
It's really good. No complains here... (leaked ep)
B: I find it so cool that Luna is in it! A: Yeah, in the intro, there she does belong actually.
B: Yeah. Next to her sister from now on. A: Hopefully that means episodes will follow...
...where she gets more to do. In the first ep of this season she just appeared largely in the flashback.
B: Oh, what's up there? A: She didn't have much to do besides that.
Gummy doesn't give a fuck about the bee flying through him.
Oh, a beekeeper pony! That's funny.
The "bee stare"?
Well, he wants to get his bees back...
I see!
Draw.
B: Them again! Having another contest yet again! A: Yep.
B: Oh, Gummy... A: She's allowed to ring the school bell.
All week.
"Daring game" - okayy.
Yeah, like who dares the most.
Fluttershy takes Angel with her for a change. Interesting.
"The most important reason"?
Wallpapers...I mean tapestries...
-smile- hee hee.
Er...no...not really.
Okay, she wants to get tapestries, restore them and get inspired by the ancient art.
...And says it's the most important reason in her life or something like that.
Uh... what is that now?
Ah, look! That looks like the things in the first episode (of S4).
He gives a fuck about her worrying.
"Come on, come off..."
A: Spike doesn't like at all that they will stay there. B: Nope. Little fraidy cat. Oh! Now they're there, too.
"The shadowpony" okayy...
Good riddance!
Now both get afraid...
Look how they scream!
Very brave I have to say.
What kind of creature is that?!
Ok, the one thing is Fluttershy, that's nothing harmful.
Oh, Angel is nice for a change.
A: That was really tender. B: Yeah...
Some-
Fluttershy and Angel have kind of a marriage relationship, right? Almost.
So he's somehow the man who is always cool and she is the overly anxious woman...
...I think.
Uh? What's she doing now?
No, not at all, Rainbow. Nah...
B: Brohoof! A: Hey, that's the picture from the episode with the..
A:...train, where Rarity's eylashes stucked on. B: Ah yeah, hm-hm.
Interesting. What's that doing there? Must be someone popular.
Er...seriously? That's a very old horror cliché, spook house cliché.
B: Oh cute. Angel joins her. A: That's sort of a diary.
What?! Disembodied hooves??
B: The way that looks! Awesome! A: The way she uses her wings because she's afraid...that's awesome!
B: That is so cute!
Ohhh... sure, Fluttershy.
A: Er...yeah. That's the same situation you are in, too. B: Yeah.
B: Aww, man. Okay, he's fine. A: Er, no he's fine.
Very fine, that is.
Where did they get the carrots from? Did he bring them along? Or did they already have them there?
B: Dunno. A: Very weird.
B: Why,she can use magic.Maybe she conjured them. A: Conjuring carrots out of nothing?!
A: Although, yes...maybe. B: Well,Twilight sure is able to do something like that.
A: Er...okay, who's that?!
The ghostly organ, another cliché.
Erm, the music comes from out of the next room, they should have heard that.
But instead they run away...okay.
A: How cute... that laughter of him is totally cute! B: Yeah.
Aw, and she is so worried...
Oh! That is... Luna destroyed that in the last episode.
Ah yes, right.
No one didn't tidy up at all after that, it got left alone that way?! Okayy... for 1000 years...
And everything is still standing. Err... that must be one of a kind magic castle, yes!
...So that all somewhat keeps upholding. And that also still looks as good as new...almost.
Okay, armor. Pony armor...they look really creepy...almost.
Applejack is really frightened. That's not usual for her.
B: Who is that?! A: Okay, what was that?! Why did carrots appear there?
B: Yeah, which pony is the one that plays? A: It's supposed to be the infamous shadowpony, or...
...the pony of shadows.
She screams because the thing is broken. Ok, that was cool. Er, was that Rarity, bullshit, was that
A: Spike or was that Pinkie? B: Spike.
Spike played "Pinkie".
Oh man.
Oh man girls, you are so hysteric!
That must be especially scary for her.
Aww... Poor Fluttershy!
Er... what was that now for a Donald Duck sound? That's officially Appleduck now.
B: Appleduck! Hey! A: Or Donaldjack.
I would not think about winning at all anymore. Just about how the heck I could get out of there.
Castles can be grateful?!
Cute the way she's moving. Wait a second...
Aw man, Applejack! Enough already with all that getting scared over and over.
Ok, wait. All of them head backwards - I know where this is going.
A: Yeah! Cliché. I know exactly what will happen. B: She flies backwards... yes, me too.
A: It's clear to happen... Yes. B: Yes.
Yeah, exactly!
A: Okay, that was... too much cliché. Too predictable.
Okay, that was pretty dark.
Oh, he's getting afraid, too.
Okay, it's all good.
Oh god. It's a pity Angel isn't really under there. No, I'm kidding. In that episode he's almost nice.
What?
Oh, how cute! Look!
Er, that with Nightmare Moon was also just a pony tale...
Yeah, for some...
Oh dearohdearohdear are they afraid...my god.
Ok now... Rainbow Dash has no excuses anymore. She's afraid as well.
That is really rare that Angel comes along all the time...that he is present that much in an episode.
Very rare. But it's okay, I like it.
She wants to make a party out of everything! ... The "I go to the toilet party"! Yay!
Oh man...
Then I would just let it hang there...
Ok, that's cute.
B: This time Angel wasn't an asshole for a change. A: At the beginning he sorta was, but then he was ok.
Pinkie is so cute when she jumps.
A: They want to write a diary together. B: Yeah....yeah.
Yeah, you say that now...
Okay, who or what is that?! Was that real? Will that reappear?
B: Could be. Okay, a scare episode. Funny.
B: And it was Pinkie all the time! I don't believe it. A: I assumed that a little.
B: Right, cuz Pinkie was the only one missing. A: Exactly, that was kinda suspicious.
I also would trust Discord to do such a thing. But Pinkie was more obvious.
Well, not for me. I really thought...dunno... that it really would've been another pony.
Didn't think about Pinkie.
I liked all the new faces...like -neeee-...all those mega grins. I found that funny.
A: New faces? I didn't notice that. B: Well, they grinned a little differently.
A: Ah... B: When they were happy, that did look different...
...from the other seasons. That was drawn differently.
A: I didn't notice that, I have to rewatch the episode. B: That was funny somehow.
So the episode wasn't the creme de la creme, but it was also good. It didn't make me say:
"Whoa, so cool!" and so on, but it wasn't bad either. So it was...ok I guess. Funny, too.
But Twilight not being scared at all... but that I found cool, when she explained that the past helped her...
...not to fear the present.
I'm not that enthusiastic as well. It certainly was entertaining, I liked a few things...
What I did like was: Angel was with them and he wasn't only an asshole this time. At first he was...
...like he always is, but then he was pretty nice I have to say. And I don't mind him being an asshole,
...but I do like when they show he's not only that but that he can be nice as well.
And you can see clearly that Fluttershy and he love each other truly...very much so.
What I also liked were some little scenes...
...to pair Rarity with Fluttershy was interesting.
I also liked the way the characters interacted with each other. It really did fit to their personalities.
And I liked Twilight getting all that nerdy when she sees the library. I liked that you see the castle.
Many things from past episodes were to spot there. A few laughs were there, a few funny interactions between the characters.
What I didn't like was that so many horror clichés were used that one has seen so many times...
...it's boring already. Like the spooky music. A chair is moved and suddenly there is a mechanism there...
And all things considered... the episode was nice, but I didn't get that much enthusiasm for it.
So, we confered with each other, the episode was better than an average episode, but not that better.
So the overall grade from 1-5 is:
3. 3.0
A: So we bid our goodbye. B: Ciao.
See ya. Brohoof!
What kind of brohoof was that?!
A: She's too tired to do a brohoof. B: Yes, I am too tired.
Okay, it might also be because of our moods that we didn't like the episode too much.
I do want to watch a movie after this still, but anyway. Somehow...hmm...
One can't always be in a great mood. Bye!
A: Is that Applejack or Twilight? B: I know, right?
That scream! That really sounded like a death cry!
