B: Yahoo! Newepisodenewepisodenewepisode... A: So...
Yahoo!!!
Yeah, it's happening again! Hehe.
A: Now it's time for the... "Power Ponies"! B: Right!
A: Yes, exactly. B: Yeah, Superman episode!
An episode which was written...by three people! One of them being head writer of MLP....
A: ...Meghan McCarthy. I am very excited! B: Exactly...Me too!
And we won't spend time dealing with anything else. Let's go right into the new episode! Let's go!
3,2,1 and... go.
Aw cute, Twilight with cap.
Hehe, bedcap...okay..
"Mane-iac". Okayy... Yet another of these puns.
Ah, he's reading a comic book.
B: Oh my. A: Okay, that's definately a Joker reference.
Ah, so the Power Ponies have a sidekick. Some dork-kick.
Ah-hah! The castle does appear more often. That's interesting.
They want to recondition the castle of Luna and Celestia.
Spike pulls the blanket over his head... Well, that figures.
Yep, I know that well from old times. I used to read Calvin & Hobbes very often. Loved that comic strip.
B: Hehe...Oh man. A: Ok, Spike is happy now.
Okay, she can't refuse Spike anything.
That reminds me of a buddy of mine. Alessandro, he loves comics.
Maybe this is the episode I can make the ponies palatable to him.
B: I hope... A: ...Because until now he wasn't interested in them.
Yeah...I hope we'll see Derpy again sometime. Until now we haven't seen her.
Yes, that's right. I miss Derpy much as well.
B: I think that sucks! I want to see Derpy! A: Yeah...
Well, they promised Derpy will appear but so far there was no sign of her.
After the first two episodes she (Meghan McCarthy) stated "Patience" but still we didn't see anything.
B: Commercials? A: Commercials, okay...
B: Advertisement? Jeez... A: Yes, advertisement. Whatever. What's this?
B: What? Even more superheroes? A: Okayyy...
A: What is this?! What kind of guys are that? Weird. B: Okay....
Okay, the Hub seems to be like Nikelodeon or RTL2 (german station).
Or Cartoon Network, yes...
B: Yeah. A: But it's all about superheroes right now.
Apposite to the episode, presumably.
All of that is superhero stuff... kinda.
Yes, but that doesn't have anything to do with the ponies.
I know, but it all fits thematically.
I think it's so weird when they talk so fast at the end of a commercial.
B: Yeah... what's this? A: Phillip did voice acting for that series.
"Diary of a whimpy kid", I forgot it's official german name.
B: Oh, a game. A: Ah, funny...a little game...
So now we even have to...
A&B: comment on games.
B: Yeah, exactly. A: Great.
A: That's alright. In german that would sound a little odd: "Popp the pig"! B: Yeah...
A: That's another word for sex here - to popp. (Similar with the english "to bang")
...here in germany I mean.
Oh, that looks beautiful. Doesn't fit to winter, though...right? Like surfers and...
No, but maybe thats...like... Ah, we know those!
B: They also have new episodes! A: Yes, they're cute as well.
Pet Shop...boys... Pet Shop Boys, alright!
I think it's cool that Ashleigh Ball voices the main character here too, but that one is completely different than Rainbow Dash or Applejack.
Oh my god. No, this can't be! I think the whole episode will be interrupted with commercials!
Huh?
Well, then show us what you've got, Spike!
Here, three (authors) - Charlotte Fullerton, Betsy Blabla...something likte that.
A: What's she doing? B: She's cleaning. Housecleaning.
A: That's like...like...
That's like in the (german) movie "The ghost Castle in the Spessart (german uplands)" I think.
They did the same... guided tour through a museum/castle and cleaning it at the same time.
Something like that. Or was it Pippi Longstocking? She did that, too.
Yeah...
"Humdrum"...comic relief! He's referring to what he himself actually is! Kind of a character who is...
...only there for jokes... and here we have the prove already! Hehe... mean... poor Spike.
I like Spike! Very much so, by the way.
Oh!! Pinkie! Did you see that?
A: She cleaned with her hair, upside down.... B: Yeah...
Okay, he get's very much exasperated with the sidekick...
He's searching a magnifying glass.
They actually care for him... for a change! Thanks Meghan McCarthy or whoever got that idea.
That's nice.
In the first episodes they didn't even hug him... the first time.
Er... that sounds like a... MAGIC SPELL!
Uh-oh...yes.
Okay, so what is about to happen is not a dream?!
B: No...not really. A: AWESOME!
B: Oh shit!
B: Oh no, girls! That won't work! A: Oh...hehe, now they will end up in there!
A: Pinkie! Do something! Is Pinkie already gone? B: No...
There's Pinkie!
B: Yeah sure she just... A: Oh sure, she's just happy about htis and jumps in!
B: And already they are... uh-huh.. A: Ah, and here's the scene from the animatic we saw.
Yes, yes... oh my! Okay.
A Robin reference!
"Filly second"?
"Mare-velous"...
And there we already have... the villain!
Yup.
The Joker reference.
B: The Pony version of Joker! A: Hehe, the way she laughs! Did you hear that laughter? "Buahahaha"..
Yeah...
Okay, if they want to return to the real world, they have to defeat her.
Yeah, I understood that. Oh... damn! You got good at english.
That leaves me not having to do anything here as a translator...
B: Yeah, probably by watching the... A: Whao, how mean! Poor Pinkie!
Now she reminds me of...Bubbles. Of the Powerpuff Girls.
B: What kind of-... A: What?
B: Okay...cool! A: What's that? Cool!
She's got some magical rope!
B: Ummmm... A: Lasso. Well, awesome!
B: Yeah, but that is not so awesome! A: Nope...
B: But Pinkie is faster than Rainbow Dash? A: What the...she has serious issues!
What a crazy way to laugh! Her laughter is insane!
Yeah...
B: The whatshisname also had a crazy laughter... A: Who?
B: The Joker! A: Ah yes, right.
B: Hehehe! Oh my god, what a laughter! A: Whoa...
But what kind of power was that now?
A: She can alter nature? B: Lightening bolt...
B: How does she know how that works? A: He told her.
A: You didn't hear that. B: Wow, badass!
Rad! Cool!
A: Whoa, yes! That is one awesome episode!! B: Whoa, sweet! Pinkie!!
Oh man, Pinkie first of all takes a snack break. Of course!
A: Cupcakes.... B: Whoa, that looks awesome!
A: Well, that didn't work out well. B: No, they don't have their forces under control yet.
A: The villain relaxes for the time being. B: Yeah, she...
A: She can get very strong if she does something with her feelings... when she psychs out.
...when she gets angry.
What? ... Okay, she can conjure some things...
A: Something useful... B: "Something useful", right!
Ok, he's out of there for a start.
But what is his power?
A: Oh fuck! He is the sidekick, the dork-kick. B: Oh...I see...
...who rather blows it than being helpful.
Go watch "The Incredibles"! They teached: No capes!
A: "The incredibles" (german name) B: Yeah...
Humdrum... awww...ok...now that's mean. Spike gets nagged at enough already.
But he does look cute somehow with his outfit... so cute, the tiny gloves and those little shoes...
A: Oh, she can control it by her own will, how cool is that?! B: Cool...
A&B: AWESOME!
Oh, where will this end?
Oh, a spin top!
Hehe, she already starts playing with it...
Okay, Rainbow Dash is her old self again.
Oh well...
B: Heh, she looks cool that way. With that blue horn. A: Yeah...
B: But it also looks weird somehow. A: The villain needs that thing she stole to activate...
A: ...something mean or so... B: Oh. Great, and he has to lead them there.
"Shampoo factory"? Nah...
B: Oooh...Rainbow Dash! A: That's not a good plan!
Oh man, Spike! Stay cool!
Fluttershy looks so rad.
B: Hehe, that face! A: That face! -duck- always so frighte-
Oh no! Fuck! Lots of henchmen!
B: Heh, Pinkie! A: "Power Pony Up" Okayyy...
Whoa, but her macigal powers are much stronger due to that horn! That's cool!
Err...well, that wasn't too useful.
Oh cool, what does she have there?
Heheh, that's cool!
Pinkie Pie trolling! How awesome!
Oh, but that's mean! That hurts!
Oh cool! Yeah, show her!
She calls it "accessory"...okayyy...
Only when she gets angry she can use her power.
Interesting...like the Hulk, you know? That green one...
Yeah...
B: But I didn't see that movie...
A: Yeah... look at me for a sec, you have something stuck there, I'll to get that off of you... there, gone.
B: Oh, what's this? A: Oh...hairspray...super-hairspray.
A: Oh yeah, Rarity! Show them! B: No...
A&B : Everyone will show them!!
Well, cool!
Umm...that didn't work.
Fluttershy is still there.
Oh, she's just concerned... Fluttershy, your friends will be dead soon! Do something!
Aww, how mean!
B: Great! A: You don't have to rub it right in his face! That's mean!
He put his foot in it...literally even. That's really nasty.
B: Great, now he has to... A: Poor Spike! Aww...
Kind of a loud appearance.
No, they didn't figure how to get out there yet.
Hehe, everything is so typical like in a superhero movie....
B: Oh, great... A: Even like in those extreme bad ones...
...from Schumacher. Er, Joel Schumacher, "Batman & Robin" and so on...
The way that looks like!
B: That hair drier?? Okay... A: A super hair drier?
B: A giant hair drier... A: Look, that looks like a drying hood...
A: for making perms! B: Yeah... that's kind of a hair drier...
She wants every mane to grow wild...
She definately seems to have some self-esteem problems because of her mane...
...which she got due to that accident.
Uh-huh...okay...that laughter!
That laughter, dude!
A: Yeah! Self-esteem restored!! B: But what can he do?
B: But I would get rid of that cape, Spike! A: Yeah, that's dangerous.
Also, it's noticeable because it's red.
Oh, right... what is he up to?
Villains always have to hold such long monologs... that's a law. When they catched the heroes.
Instead of just killing them. And later, they lose because of that...heh, well!
B: Oh yeah! A: All at once?! Cool!
Okay...well! Yeah, cool!
With a giant file, okay!
"I'm trying"...oh my!
You're passive-agressive! You have agression in you! Get it out already!
Doesn't work. Oh! Okay, Pinkie! Cool!
A: Oh, she can freeze things! B: Oh, cool an ice-..cool!
An icerevue, yahoo!
Whoa, awesome!
Cool, yeah! Good riddance!
Yes, this time it's working. All henchmen are gone... but how many of them does she have?
All the time new ones appear! There are still some left!
A: Oh, how graceful! B: Well, rarity-style!
Yeah, exactly!
And she put them all into...conjured prisons? Not bad!
So long!
Not bad!
The way she whips back there!
Well, now all you can do anymore is standing around.
Ha! That is getting her mad! Sure!
What? What's happening with her?!
Ok, now you're fucked!
Oh, Daniel wii hate this I think! (Fluttershy fan)
B: She's still laughing! Oh god... A: Like the Joker...
A: Yeah! B: Yeah, you did it!
B: What? A: The baker was like totally far away,
A: ...but she was still manage to get cupcakes just in time. B: Okayyy....
Oh yeah, exactly. Cute!
"The house of enchanted comics" in Canterlot?
Oh, Spike...
Well...
Huh? It vanishes? Why?
Huh... well, okay. If the comic book is finishes, it vanishes obviously.
B: Okay...cool! Yes, that was- oh! Ow... A: Yeah...
Okay, let's switch that off... or well, it will switch off soon anyway.
Okay, you were wrong, there were no commercials anymore.
Yes, luckily...to be honest. Um, yeah... yeah. The Power Ponies.
Er, erm...er...well... was a really funny episode.
Actually with such episodes I think to myself: Why doesn't that last longer?
B: Yeah!
A: Why not 30 minutes instead of 20? Why not 45 minutes already? B: Yeah...
That was so cool, then we would have to see them in action much more!
That was almost insufficient with that time. That's stuff for a movie. A TV movie maybe.
What did you like and what didn't you like?
Hmm... I think it was funny that they... well, got super powers. What I also liked was that they...
...weren't able to control them at once. That was logical somehow, but I liked that they were only able...
B: ...to control them the second time they used them. I liked that. A: Yeah.
With some superhero stuff it's like they can control their powers and use them properly at once.
But that is somehow unrealistic, so...dunno... that's cliché.
But here it was solved well I think. So that they didn't know how by the first try.
Yeah...and... I just thought it was so funny. So funny... and.. er...
I don't know, I don't see anything that I didn't like. Seriously. So... can't tell a thing.
It was just funny...cool. Yeah.
Yes. Well, I found their powers very funny, the whole superhero idea appealed to me...
...because I'm a huge fan of superhero movies. And it was funny... it had very much action.
I don't get why this episode got a "Fantasy violence" rating though. There was action....
...but it wasn't filled with violence. So "violence" is a little exaggerated I think.
B: Yeah. A: In real superhero movies shit gets more real.
A: But oh well. Well, and...um...yeah, so... entertaining...
B: They'd have had to use a pool full of sharks, like in those James Bond movies...
B: that would have been violent. A: Yeah...
Well...what is there to say? Funny, entertaining, everything fits.
Yo.
So in other words, the only bad thing about this episode was that it didn't last longer.
Exactly, exactly, yeah!
...What of course brings us to the definite conclusion that the main score for this episode can only be...
5 Points! (out of 5)
Five points again!
Yeah!
Okay, super! And we'll leave satisfied, look forward to seeing that episode once again the next days...
...without having to comment on anything. We will be able to only concentrate on the pictures.
B: Yo. A: Er...and..yeah.
A: Although we love to comment, that's fun! B: And I would love to see the new episode already!
B: Oh man, I am so keen on ponies again! A: Yeah, tell me about it! Um...yeah.
A: The next episode is titled "Bats!" and there... B: Ah yeah, that-...
...Fluttershy and Applejack will clash with each other.
B: I thought that was so cool... A: Next episode I think.
...when Fluttershy went all... UAAARGHH!
First those red eyes and then...BWOOO! So radical!
It is told that Andreas Libman lost her voice for a time after she spoke...or rather screamed that part.
B: Okay... well, I'm not surprised. A: Very cool.
Yeah... okay. Two satisfied bronies bid their goodbye. Take care aaaaand:
B: ...And Merry Christmas! A: Yeah, Merry Christmas!
...In case you see this before. I have no idea when I will have this video finished.
But If I manage to make it in time, then: Merry Christmas!
We recorded it shortly before X-mas, just for you to know, if you see this an it's not X-mas anymore at all.
Byeee!
Whoa...
A: Ok, action! B: Yeah!
I like that, that's cool...
Subscribe to me!
Whoa, that pose! How cool!
