SoS is the name of the special in MYM chapter 6, not a standalone thing

I know, just prefer to call the specials by their name, not by the chapter.

The only ponies Sunny doesn’t like are Opaline and Sprout.
After the events of Ali-Conned, she’s not very fond of Sugar Moonlight either.

The episode that reveals Misty and Alphabittle’s connection would be the perfect opportunity to say that he was also Izzy’s guardian. So it’s going to be disappointing when that doesn’t happen.

Recently re-watched Sparky’s Sick, the “worst episode of TYT”, and it was…somewhat better than I remembered. I also recently saw that some people are still bothered by Izzy in TYT despite the fact that she’s not caused controversy in a long time. Has anyone here’s opinions on “controversial” things in TYT changed?

In my case I haven’t actually watched TYT and was just going off what other people were saying as well as how she acted at 30 seconds into >>2894498

Me too. Even when it was new and I wasn’t too pleased with it, I thought the fact that it was “controversial” was stupid.

Don’t just go off of what other people say then, lol.

I know what that episode is about. Bathroom humor is at worst immature and overdone.

The first half is good. The second half genuinely makes me angry

I didn’t like Sparky’s Sick, one of my least favorite episodes of TYT, but it doesn’t elicit a strong negative reaction out of me like it did for a lot of people

Why are the MYM songs always released early? Chapter 2 soundtrack came out a week and a half before Ch2, and Chapter 5’s about a month and a half before Ch5.

One of Yahtzee Croshaw’s video essays on JRPGs had this comment that I keep thinking about:
I remember Red from OSP talking about how villains trying to destroy the world is ironically considered more child friendly than a murderer trying to kill a single person.
She asserts that because the human mind technically isn’t equipped to grasp the true size of the world, the audience will subconsciously give up and check out emotionally and therefore won’t feel like that’s as awful as pointing a gun at a single person.Same deal as “If ten people die it’s a tragedy, but if 300,000 people die it’s a statistic.”That’s probably is why writers like to default to “save the world “. It comes with less emotional baggage to navigate than having to save people the protagonist personally cares about because that would require delving into a character’s actual feelings such as anger, love, grief and fear which is far more difficult to write well.
What makes Opaline different is that we get to experience her evil on a more personal level: through her treatment of Misty, and then Sparky. The New Mane Six aren’t just saving “the world”. They’re saving the world we’ve watched them struggle to rebuild.

It’s just one toilet joke that gets people angry though, even if you count Izzy’s “if it’s gassy, let it passy” remark. Most of the episode’s humor is actually just typical TYT humor.

The funny thing is that despite getting a strong negative reaction out of bronies…it’s a highly popular episode on the TYT Youtube channel. …Which actually makes sense. Most kids watching this stuff don’t care about fan “controversies”.

I didn’t remember that line.
Also she said “poop” in Baby Critters Club which suprised me, that’s the first time they’ve said that (I hope the last) in the entirety of MLP.

I had always remembered that line, check the transcript if you think I’m BS’ing/misremembering. And Baby Critters Club…that one, I thought was a tad worse with re-watch. It’s basically just, “Look! The animals are acting like jerks, laugh!”, Jazz deserved better for her first episode in the spotlight (All That Jazz is also an Izzy episode).

Well yeah since they are children and don’t have the big understanding about controversies and all that. Plus, toilet humor is really popular among children so it makes sense why the writers would insert them to make the kiddies laugh, which is fine in and out of itself. It’s not like all of the farts and burps in TYT bothered me anyway, the other times Sparky did that didn’t make me react either, it was just in Sparky’s Sick that was too over the top for me

After Opaline is defeated on Chapter 6, please don’t let the next villain be a joke. I know that TYT’s main focus is comedy but they can do serious episodes as well.

Man aside from the movie HAsbro has been really bad at advertising the G5 series

Agree. They advertised Bridlewoodstock but didn’t mention a lot that there would be 6 episodes with it.

Yeah. 3am EST.
And thanks to the magic of lifelong insomnia, I can watch it when it drops.
