I like how they basically say that RD and AJ have no imagination whatsoever. "We were superheroes that one time, let's go with that". And Pinkie probably doesn't dare let her imagination free for fear of everyone's sanity and the dreamworld's integrity.
+duckmanham Well, everyone else thought of something at least moderately original. Whichever way you look at it, RD and AJ ended up less imaginatively transformed than the rest of'em!
Watching this again...Damn this episode is freaking deep. Nightmares every single night? The tantabus is pretty much what those of us who suffer from PTSD go through. No wonder Princess Luna is my favorite pony. She's the most relatable to me.
Luffyiscool Not necessarily, it is often seen as such, but that is also because it is often mixed with the sub/Dom roles. It is also far from always a sexual thing. In the case of Fluttershy, it is obviously the grooming which is referred to.
I've loved Luna since her re-introduction in Luna Eclipsed, which was a fantastic episode both for its humor and its character building. Every major appearance after that, including the dream trilogy and her singing in the season 4 finale, consistently became an episode highlight. Outside of a certain season 7 episode (which was actually stolen by a different character), though, this is the best Luna appearance of all. As someone with depression and who has made mistakes in the past, I know how hard it can be to forgive yourself and move on from things. It's difficult to avoid beating yourself up about everything, so to see her go through what she did was heartbreaking and relatable. And so it was so gratifying to see her finally be able to move past it with the help of her friends. Her appearances since have definitely struck me as being in a happier place, even if it isn't called attention to. I'm delighted to see how far she's gone. I just hope my favorite pony can have a little more screen time in the probable final season. Her arc seems basically finished after this episode and A Royal Problem, but I'm sure they can find something. She is a great mentor and friend figure to the CMCs and foals in general after all... maybe she could do something with Cozy Glow? We shall see.
When rainbow dash had that Barney themed dream I was legit scared. Compared to the other dreams... I felt hers was the scariest. I watched other reaction videos, and everyone laughed at rainbow dash. You were the only one who understood how terrifying it actually was lol.
We do need a Celestia episode. I confess I am a bit irritated at the way they mentioned Celestia only to immediately dismiss her as useless. My head canon is that Luna said this, not because Celestia would actually be entirely powerless or unable to contribute, but because Luna wouldn't want Celestia to know that she was essentially self-flagellating after so long. After all, who would know more about forgiveness than the pony who initially forgave her and even extended Discord a second chance, in addition to being family. By Celestia I want a Celestia episode.
Ponycletian I know! I desperately wanted Celestia to appear. In the beginning to help and prove to Luna once more that she cares for her, or in the dream/climax to help battle the Tantabus and *helping Luna forgive herself*. I loved this episode, but I'm disappointed with how they just brushed her off once more. Plus, I really want to see Celestia get developed (especially because fans give her so much flack for Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon). Sadly, the closest thing we have so far are the comic books and a recently released novel. :I
Pinkie: "Who wants ice cream?" Luffy: "I do!" Me too! And yet Pinkie has never used her reality bending powers to bring me ice cream!... it's like she doesn't want me to smile...
Sir Spike-a-lot returns! Though, I would like to have seen Doctor Whooves in the TARDIS, as much as that is not likely to happen. This episode made me love Luna's character even more; rest well Princess Luna, you deserve it.
When you know you're dreaming, you're having a lucid dream, as far as i understand, you can train to get lucid dreams more often, and listen to special music while asleep, i dont have personal experiences though
Watch Kung Fury. Its a 30 minute movie that satisfies both of your categories at once. But if you watch that you may want to watch something else too since its kinda short.
Nice reaction Luffy, hope your dad is feeling better. As much as I want to feel bad for Luna, she had very little character development in the S1 premiere and the only person that she should probably feel guilt toward was Celestia, after almost killing her. She came off as melodramatic in this episode to me. *shrug* Typically I just watch reactions from you and EQReflections, but those guys have disappeared this season and I'm in need of some new reactors. Who do you like to watch? I like your style of commentary because you don't overreact and usually don't talk over the dialog of the show. Would be nice to find similar uploaders.
beautiful episode, excellent character development, still suffers from the 20 min tv syndrome, like a teenager when the show senses that the climax is approaching it just goes even faster to get to it, still excellent ep. and finally a luna development ep. so much char develops this season but im feeling alack o songs, cant even remember what the last song was T_T
When the flowers started the sing in Rainbow's nightmare I was mouth the words and laughed to and Rainbow and Pinkie and the worst ones. and Luffy was screaming on the inside. I love how Rainbow and Pinkie scream it is so cute.
he dude did you know the title of this ep is a reference to the book Harrison Fords movie "THE BLADERUNNER" was based on? its called "Do androids dream of electric sheep?"
Luna punished herself because of the guilt she felt for what she did as Nightmare Moon for 5 SEASONS!!!! I love this episode! So much! Hits me hard too! As someone who has delt with depression and self harm.
EP 13 I love this episode because we finally got more Luna development. I love how the episode starts because it is like WTF Luna is turning into Nightmare Moon then WTF rainbow powers and then oh it’s a dream. And it makes sense because dreams rarely make much sense. At first I was like why can't Luna and then oh god that thing at the beginning is real and it’s escaped into the dream world. I love that of course the Tantabus(where did they come up with that name by the way?) goes after the mane 6. I love that even when she's tired Pinkie Pie is full of energy. I love that Spike left all of Twilight Sparkle’s yawns in her letter to Luna. I love that Luna got to Ponyville in 3 seconds. I love how smug Spike is about not having a nightmare. I love the explanation about the Tantabus. Also this creature seems similar to the nightmare forces from the comics wanting to turn Equestria into a nightmare. I love that we get to see Luna go into dreams more and the way she does it although I imagine this isn't the only way she can get into dreams. Of course Rarity dreams of dresses. I love Pinkie Pie’s dream because with her hyperactive personality it makes sense that her dreams would be like that. I know so many bad jokes are going to be made about Fluttershy wanting to be a pet but I think her dream is being able to relax without having to worry about or take care of so many animals for once. I also love monster Angel’s design. I love that even in her dreams all Applejack thinks about are apples. I love how Rainbow Dash dreams about being a badass. Her nightmare is hilarious but also really creepy. I did not notice this the first time but the song the flowers are singing is being sung to an instrumental version of the Barney theme. Of course Twilight Sparkle dreams about books and her nightmare is books trying to kill her. I love how much trust the mane 6 has in Luna. Luna having to give all of Ponyville one dream was great. This was forshadowed in episode 4 when she created a shared dream for the CMC. I love that Derpy dreams of being giant who …meows…I think. I love that Lyra and Bon-Bon dream about being connected like CatDog. I guess Big Mac wishes he was a unicorn. I wonder why the Tantabus decided to turn the houses in the dream into Monster House references. I love that because it’s a dream Fluttershy can turn into Flutterbat and this forshadows what happens next. I love Princess Big Mac and I learned after the episode that his transformation sequence is very similar to the trasformation sequence of one of the sailor scouts from Sailor Moon. I love that the whole town gets to help by creating dreams. My favorite was Dragon Knight Spike riding Derpy into battle. I love that Applejack and Rainbow Dash become power ponies and Twilight Sparkle brings back the library. I love the reason the Tantabus gets stronger. Luna’s reason is a surpringly dark subject that the show handled well and it gives Luna’s character more depth. I love how the mane 6 who freed her from Nightmare Moon also free her from her guilt. I love that Luna dreams about sleeping because the burden of her guilt. I love that you see the Tantabus grow whenever Luna feels guilty. I also hope this means we will get a Celestia focused episode in the rest of season 5.
it could be derived from Tantalus, a Grecian king who served his own son as a dinner for the gods and was punished by standing in a pool of water under a fruit tree but being unable to eat or drink because both would recede when he tried, supported by the fact he was punished in Tartarus(sound familiar?) and the word tantalize, derived from his name, is actually a synonym for torture or tease.
When I first saw this, I thought that Luna tracked down nightmares nightly by having nothing but nightmares when she sleeps. I thought that the Tam-ta-bist was a creature she fed her good dreams to in order to protect the rest of Equestria.
those singing flowers are going to haunt me in my nightmares because I'm one of those poor kids who remembered Barney back then when I was a kid and as an adult I'd find Barney to be creepy
Even if it doesn't win your 6k poll (and I don't think it will at this point), I think it would definitely be worth your while to react to Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins. In the event you're looking for things to fill time during the MLP break, anyway. Also, congrats on 7k subs. ^_^
calling season 5 the guren lagann of mlp isn't too far off. considering that twilight basically tells luna: "believe in the ponies that believe in you!" ...Does that sound familiar?!?!
anyone else notice that at 16:20 a Pegasus (not Spoiled Rich) runs out of the Rich's home at night --- does Filthy Rich dream about cheating on his wife? lol
+justin parker Ponysona?.... WANT! All of my want! Need this. Need more than kingdom hearts 3, more than persona 5, more than anything else I could imagine. If we keep it on the downlow and dont let them get wind of it we may actually get a completed version. Set it up on a site where only bronies can go. Protect it with a bunch of riddles like "who is Berry Punch's daughter?" or "What do you do upon meeting Princess Cadence?" THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN PEOPLE!
I especially like how the Tantillus took the form of a pony. Like a Shadow Luna only without wings. Much like the False Groudon in Pokemon: Jirachi Wishmaker.
Actually, that's true, the thing technically could have given changelings nightmares. No idea what the explanation there would be. Maybe Rainbow Dash wasn't dreaming about any actual changeling, because they all look the same to her?
Luffyiscool Spike: Wonder what she's dreaming about now? Luffy: Bow Chick Bow Wow Me: oh Fuck You. Also the Straw Poll for the 7K special that is a really hard decision. Ted 2 or Minions...crap.
Technically the tantibus was the evil spirit form of nightmare moon separated from luna's body. It's almost kinda similar to when majin buu and evil buu from dbz were separated.
Inle Rah Pretty sure that's not the case. The Tantabus is it Nightmare Moon. It is essentially a sentient nightmare that Luna deliberately created for the purpose of torturing her in her own dreams.
4:00 (initial impression) this is WILDLY similar to volume one of the "Nightmarity" comic! So why the *herk* is the miasma (the blue smoke puff) [4:16] STILL around? It got vanquished twice! 5:30 this explanation is what you get when the miasma is allowed to create a similar "entity" 5:54 - 5:55 Is Spike channeling his dog days from the two movies? 7:47, 14:30 those are NOT tentacles; but the stranger portion of the fanbase will depict them as such, oy! 9:30-9:32 when the cake eats you? oh no! Oh, and these cakes are DEFENITELY NOT a lie! (portal!) 9:57 why (even in Fluttershy's dreamscape) would Angel be as tall as Steven Magnet? 10:26 If AJ enters that apple in a fair, shell sink a blue ribbon for best produce ever! (referencing the prize awarded to jumbo pumpkins, etc.) 10:51-11:04 RD is going ninja on the changelings! Awesome! ... until 11:17 when flowers start singing, it gets WAY too creepy! 11:38-11:42 Princess Twilight might be in the library at Hogwarts when the books (which often reshelf themselves) start attacking the borrowers (like the chained book that screamed at Harry in Sorcerer's Stone)? 13:10 Pinkie, you foolish fool! (I can't call her a foal, the wordplay wouldn't fit) 14:25 this is starting to sound like Inception - also, I hope Luna can get a magical boost from Princess Twilight and Rarity (along with the power that the other four holds) 14:40 - 14:45 this is Derpy's piece of the shared dream pie 14:55 My Big Pony, My Big Pony (star-ing Derpy!) 14:59 This is officially a bizarre dream! and even in the dreamscape, 15:35 you get the Wilhelm scream 16:47 Flutterbat saves the Doctor? Whoa.... 17:13 maximum laugh effect... "anything" = coronating yourself as Alicorn Prince Big Mac!!! 18:02 it takes a dreamscape village to help Princess Luna vanquish the 'tantabus' (miasma's child) 18:35 Spike HAD to have seen Inception, he practically quoted a line! Warrior Spike! 19:00 Scootaloo is NOT A CHICKEN, she's an American Eagle! 19:11 Unholster the lightning, Zapp (or is she Thor?) 20:10 - 21:40 Luna is the key to slaying this dream beast! And Princess Twilight is paraphrasing what Celestia said in vol. 4 of the Nightmarity arc! "Trust in yourself, and in your friends. You're Princess Luna now and forever." 21:45 GET BACK HERE!!!
The reason it is taking so long to finish the season is because a lot of writers keep leaving the staff to write for Disney shows (or other things). I am not sure if there is some kind of internal conflict or if the writers just want the better opportunity to write for Disney. But what I have noticed is that it is almost entirely a male writing staff these days. Which means that a lot of the female writers have moved on. Who knows, maybe some male writers have moved on too. So the studio is kind of in a panic mode.
Hey Luffy. Apparently we aren't getting any more MLP until, like, September or something (I must have missed you saying that if you mentioned it in the video), so I was wondering if you would be doing any other kinds of reactions in the meantime? Adventure Time maybe? :D
As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, and self-mutilation, this episode had a profound effect on me and definitely one of my favorites
Believe me, suffering from depression and self-mutilation, this episode was hitting me home.
I like how they basically say that RD and AJ have no imagination whatsoever. "We were superheroes that one time, let's go with that". And Pinkie probably doesn't dare let her imagination free for fear of everyone's sanity and the dreamworld's integrity.
Antroid considering what we know of what pinkie is capable of awake I kinda have to agree with that theory.
+Antroid If you were in a moment of imminent catastrophe, would you sit there and think, or grab the quickest and most powerful thing you could?
+duckmanham Well, everyone else thought of something at least moderately original. Whichever way you look at it, RD and AJ ended up less imaginatively transformed than the rest of'em!
I think it's because the writers didn't know what to do without messing up their characters
Princess Big Mac: "They didn't.." They did. "They did!"
Also, it was Sailor Moon referenced then too during Big Mac's transformation xD
XD DASHIES NIGHTMARE IS ACTUALLY WAS CREEPY XD
right my worst night mare, oh wait 2 next to them canceling the series!
luna star, dont...even...THINK ABOUT IT!!!
mlp lover 3000, after flowey's army showed up and started torturing dash
Max Harter a more scary flowey
CuTeNeSs
Watching this again...Damn this episode is freaking deep. Nightmares every single night? The tantabus is pretty much what those of us who suffer from PTSD go through. No wonder Princess Luna is my favorite pony. She's the most relatable to me.
You say "Of course you can" as if Luna's ability to create shared dreams is out of nowhere. But she did it in Bloom and Gloom
Matt S
I was making fun of the way her dialogue sounded lol
Luffyiscool By the way, what says pets are submissive? Remember that _her_ pet is Angel Bunny ..... ^_^
i wasn't speaking in absolutes, but pet play in the world of adult sexuality is most definitely submissive.
Luffyiscool Fluttershy is pretty much submissive no matter if she's a pet or the master ;)
Luffyiscool
Not necessarily, it is often seen as such, but that is also because it is often mixed with the sub/Dom roles.
It is also far from always a sexual thing.
In the case of Fluttershy, it is obviously the grooming which is referred to.
This last scene where Princess Luna sleeps under a flower makes my cry. I love it!
Filthy Rich and the Power of Capitalism.
natzo89 Nah, I actually think it is "The Power of Money".
natzo89 Midas touch.
Bon Bon Midas Touch is turning anything into gold, that is not what he is doing in the dream, is he?
RubberyCat Well, I thought I have seen him producing a wash of gold from his hoof, so Midas was my first thought. But maybe you're right.
i can see him as a politicion.
I've loved Luna since her re-introduction in Luna Eclipsed, which was a fantastic episode both for its humor and its character building.

That terrified me so much
I never thought I would see the day where Big Mac becomes an alicorn in the mlp series. I guess dreams do come true :)
Thanks Scott Sonneborn
Joe Habana A.K.A. M.A. Larson,
Timothy Deligero And with a typical "Magical Girl" transformation, to boot! ^_^
This is a fantastic episode. The dreams are creative. The Luna development is fantastic. Rainbow Dash really has a creepy nightmare.
We do need a Celestia episode. I confess I am a bit irritated at the way they mentioned Celestia only to immediately dismiss her as useless. My head canon is that Luna said this, not because Celestia would actually be entirely powerless or unable to contribute, but because Luna wouldn't want Celestia to know that she was essentially self-flagellating after so long. After all, who would know more about forgiveness than the pony who initially forgave her and even extended Discord a second chance, in addition to being family. By Celestia I want a Celestia episode.
Ponycletian I know! I desperately wanted Celestia to appear. In the beginning to help and prove to Luna once more that she cares for her, or in the dream/climax to help battle the Tantabus and *helping Luna forgive herself*.

Sadly, the closest thing we have so far are the comic books and a recently released novel. :I
kuku88 novel? Do tell.
Yeah and it would have fit in so well since "Lullaby for a Princess" came around recently too.
Pinkie: "Who wants ice cream?"
Luffy: "I do!"
Me too! And yet Pinkie has never used her reality bending powers to bring me ice cream!... it's like she doesn't want me to smile...
I don't think she developed that kind of power yet my good friend
She needs to wait until it's 2006 to do that king of stuff
:)
She faced herself. Her shadow self - Persona 4.
For all you homestucks, when Luna said "No, it's already here!":
"HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO OUTRUN ME...
WHEN I AM ALREADY HERE?!"
Season 5's drill is the drill that will pierce the fandom!
Just who the hell do you think Larson is?!
Sir Spike-a-lot returns! Though, I would like to have seen Doctor Whooves in the TARDIS, as much as that is not likely to happen. This episode made me love Luna's character even more; rest well Princess Luna, you deserve it.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one with my mind in a gutter upon first hearing Fluttershy's "pet" line
There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience - Napoleon Bonaparte. Great reaction as always, Luffy.
Who else thinks that the designs of the monsters look amazing
2:26 OMG is that a Dragonball Z reference?!?!
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic season 5: Welcome to *Feel*ydelphia.
This Is My New Favorite Episode 100/100 AAA+++ SSS+++ The Best One Yet,,, /)
9:33
Pinkie pie: *EWW CAKE*
Pinkie a few seconds ago: *ooh cake*
14:54
meowing giant derpy gives me life.
I love the rainbow power I wonder why they never showed it more. The dreams were cool.
I think it was heavily disliked on the style and was probably only made for toys. Also it's a pretty weak plot point
@@tnc7399 I like the designs because they were colorful and pretty. The ones I liked the most was Twilight's, Applejack's and Pinkie's.
4:31 in and I'm already:
"OH MY GOD IS IT GOING TO BE THE STORY FROM THAT ONE COMIC?"
End:
"No, but it was equally as good ^^"
When you know you're dreaming, you're having a lucid dream, as far as i understand, you can train to get lucid dreams more often, and listen to special music while asleep, i dont have personal experiences though
"Can you do fusion dance?" All my wants!
Come on, Luna. Go to Sunset Shimmer and together you can sing a duet of 'My past is not today'.
Other than a "Damn it M.A. Larson!" moment, it was a beautiful episode :D
this episode is basically "What if Inception but ponies"
11:12
Barney is Loominarty Cuntfrimed?
*The end of Inception theme song plays*
19:46 That part made me think of Digimon. xD
It's now safe to say Scott Sonneborn has redeemed himself just as much as Dave Polski and Merriwether Williams.
Watch Kung Fury. Its a 30 minute movie that satisfies both of your categories at once. But if you watch that you may want to watch something else too since its kinda short.
Mims Zanadunstedt I second this.
Mims Zanadunstedt I third this.
Dreams about sleeping are the best dreams.
Nice reaction Luffy, hope your dad is feeling better.
As much as I want to feel bad for Luna, she had very little character development in the S1 premiere and the only person that she should probably feel guilt toward was Celestia, after almost killing her. She came off as melodramatic in this episode to me. *shrug*

I like to watch people like LaDix, CobaltSky, Atticus Omundson, and Zeb Reacts.
I watch many more, but there's a shortlist for ya.
It’s kinda like they are having a lucid dream
3: 17 omg tank got out of hibernation YYYYYAAAAAAYYYYYYY
beautiful episode, excellent character development, still suffers from the 20 min tv syndrome,
like a teenager when the show senses that the climax is approaching it just goes even faster to get to it,
still excellent ep. and finally a luna development ep. so much char develops this season
but im feeling alack o songs, cant even remember what the last song was T_T
When the flowers started the sing in Rainbow's nightmare I was mouth the words and laughed to and Rainbow and Pinkie and the worst ones. and Luffy was screaming on the inside. I love how Rainbow and Pinkie scream it is so cute.
Is that " F you" playing after the episode?? 😂
Rainbows dream was t-t-terrifying
he dude did you know the title of this ep is a reference to the book Harrison Fords movie "THE BLADERUNNER" was based on? its called "Do androids dream of electric sheep?"
Also, congrats on 7k subs Luffy!
Luna punished herself because of the guilt she felt for what she did as Nightmare Moon for 5 SEASONS!!!! I love this episode! So much! Hits me hard too! As someone who has delt with depression and self harm.
4:45 the first time Luna gets a letter and somepony needs something
Even if you know your dreaming it dosent mean you will wake up

that would be incredibly depressing
This was indeed a awesome episode. ^^ And another break? Aw man. XD
those singing flowers are going to haunt me in my nightmares because I'm one of those poor kids who remembered Barney back then when I was a kid and as an adult I'd find Barney to be creepy
Have fun in your nightmares!!!!!
g3 was worse...
DAM Right G3 My Little Pony is WORSE!
Barney and G1 mlp are the most creepy ever
Dasharae Weatherspoon DAM Right even as a kid I was scared of Barney
I don't think the series can even see the shark anymore and it is glorious!
Even if it doesn't win your 6k poll (and I don't think it will at this point), I think it would definitely be worth your while to react to Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins. In the event you're looking for things to fill time during the MLP break, anyway.
Also, congrats on 7k subs. ^_^
i still can't believe that they did that
calling season 5 the guren lagann of mlp isn't too far off. considering that twilight basically tells luna: "believe in the ponies that believe in you!"
...Does that sound familiar?!?!
Luna: "I can create shared dreams" .... CONTINUITY!! Bloom & Gloom call back FTW!!
This is like trying to catch a computer virus in fallout new vegas.
anyone else notice that at 16:20 a Pegasus (not Spoiled Rich) runs out of the Rich's home at night --- does Filthy Rich dream about cheating on his wife? lol
Her stress is making that thing bigger and stronger
4:33 unanimous agreement of "Fuck you"
has princess Celestia ever had her own episode?
13:53 -- Of course she can; remember Bloom and Gloom?
16:30 That music cut and THWACK the house got seemed like a Samurai Jack moment. Anyone else get that feeling?
Luna has found the courage to face one's self and awaked her persona, thanatos
You can now fuse persona of the moon arcana
that persona series though
+justin parker Ponysona?.... WANT! All of my want! Need this. Need more than kingdom hearts 3, more than persona 5, more than anything else I could imagine. If we keep it on the downlow and dont let them get wind of it we may actually get a completed version. Set it up on a site where only bronies can go. Protect it with a bunch of riddles like "who is Berry Punch's daughter?" or "What do you do upon meeting Princess Cadence?" THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN PEOPLE!
I really want that purple thingy come back again.
Because all ponies dream power are so awesome ;-;
I want more power about these ponies.
11:30 RD’s scream😂😂😂
I especially like how the Tantillus took the form of a pony. Like a Shadow Luna only without wings. Much like the False Groudon in Pokemon: Jirachi Wishmaker.
This made my night. ^u^ Thanks for this! X3
*~Dash~*
Nice XD
Actually, that's true, the thing technically could have given changelings nightmares. No idea what the explanation there would be. Maybe Rainbow Dash wasn't dreaming about any actual changeling, because they all look the same to her?
Narrator, comment here!
Hello. Expecting someone else?
Great reaction as usual!
Luffyiscool dinodraketakethecake.deviantart.com/art/Spike-derpy-knight-545720124 (Found this)
Luffyiscool 10:10 And I've just read a fanfic, in which it is the other way around.
Luffyiscool Spike: Wonder what she's dreaming about now?
Luffy: Bow Chick Bow Wow
Me: oh Fuck You.
Also the Straw Poll for the 7K special that is a really hard decision.
Ted 2 or Minions...crap.
Technically the tantibus was the evil spirit form of nightmare moon separated from luna's body. It's almost kinda similar to when majin buu and evil buu from dbz were separated.
Inle Rah
Pretty sure that's not the case.
The Tantabus is it Nightmare Moon. It is essentially a sentient nightmare that Luna deliberately created for the purpose of torturing her in her own dreams.
"it's so nice to be the pet for once".......well then.....getty up
Oh gosh you certainly are my favorite reactor XD.
Alexis Jackson
Thank you :)
Has anyone else noticed that luna says "I" instead of "We" and what that implies?
When twilight was flying from the book bats her wings here pegasi error
4:00 (initial impression) this is WILDLY similar to volume one of the "Nightmarity" comic! So why the *herk* is the miasma (the blue smoke puff) [4:16] STILL around? It got vanquished twice!
5:30 this explanation is what you get when the miasma is allowed to create a similar "entity"
5:54 - 5:55 Is Spike channeling his dog days from the two movies?
7:47, 14:30 those are NOT tentacles; but the stranger portion of the fanbase will depict them as such, oy!
9:30-9:32 when the cake eats you? oh no! Oh, and these cakes are DEFENITELY NOT a lie! (portal!)
9:57 why (even in Fluttershy's dreamscape) would Angel be as tall as Steven Magnet?
10:26 If AJ enters that apple in a fair, shell sink a blue ribbon for best produce ever! (referencing the prize awarded to jumbo pumpkins, etc.)
10:51-11:04 RD is going ninja on the changelings! Awesome! ... until 11:17 when flowers start singing, it gets WAY too creepy!
11:38-11:42 Princess Twilight might be in the library at Hogwarts when the books (which often reshelf themselves) start attacking the borrowers (like the chained book that screamed at Harry in Sorcerer's Stone)?
13:10 Pinkie, you foolish fool! (I can't call her a foal, the wordplay wouldn't fit)
14:25 this is starting to sound like Inception - also, I hope Luna can get a magical boost from Princess Twilight and Rarity (along with the power that the other four holds)
14:40 - 14:45 this is Derpy's piece of the shared dream pie
14:55 My Big Pony, My Big Pony (star-ing Derpy!)
14:59 This is officially a bizarre dream! and even in the dreamscape, 15:35 you get the Wilhelm scream
16:47 Flutterbat saves the Doctor? Whoa....
17:13 maximum laugh effect... "anything" = coronating yourself as Alicorn Prince Big Mac!!!
18:02 it takes a dreamscape village to help Princess Luna vanquish the 'tantabus' (miasma's child)
18:35 Spike HAD to have seen Inception, he practically quoted a line! Warrior Spike!
19:00 Scootaloo is NOT A CHICKEN, she's an American Eagle!
19:11 Unholster the lightning, Zapp (or is she Thor?)
20:10 - 21:40 Luna is the key to slaying this dream beast! And Princess Twilight is paraphrasing what Celestia said in vol. 4 of the Nightmarity arc! "Trust in yourself, and in your friends. You're Princess Luna now and forever."
21:45 GET BACK HERE!!!
Ya they really care about there characters
unless that character has the name of Celestia...
DrunkFrank TV
Not having a dedicated episode yet =/= not being cared about.
Give it time.
Luffyiscool I am just horsing around
GET IT, GET IT
DrunkFrank TV
very funny
DID YOU HERE THE SCREAM WHEN APPLEJACK ROPES UP THE BLUE SMOKE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE FNAF 4 FOXY SCREAM OMG!!!!!!
Spike has a infinite amount of paper and ink!
The reason it is taking so long to finish the season is because a lot of writers keep leaving the staff to write for Disney shows (or other things). I am not sure if there is some kind of internal conflict or if the writers just want the better opportunity to write for Disney. But what I have noticed is that it is almost entirely a male writing staff these days. Which means that a lot of the female writers have moved on. Who knows, maybe some male writers have moved on too. So the studio is kind of in a panic mode.
Kinda bummed we didn't see Pinkie do something cool with dream world but it was an awesome episode otherwise.
rainbow's night mare was my favourite
So, how many times have Pinkie made a situation worse?
Did you know M.A. Larson said, "Scott is my pen name." During a Bronies React video of the Season 5 episodes 1 and 2?
And it was true! lol
Wait... it is?!
I swear I heard him say it during the Bronies react to season 5 premiere!
Beautiful Face
I know, I heard him say it too. But I had assumed he was joking.
One does not simply underestimate M.A. Larson XD
well im glad that Winnona exists again
I'm still banging my head on the wall because of princess Big Mac
Am I the only one who was thinking of Inception throughout the conjoined dream?
I just come for your reaction to ''Princess BigMac''
19:38 springtrap jumpscare noise
Princess Luna's fast, just like Subway
i had so much fun watching this episode
I feel you twilight
Luna needs to sing My Pat is not Today.
Spider Luna, spider Luna, she creeps into your... Dreams... AHHHHHH ;O;
Another hiatus.
Okay. Once is a fuck-up in the scheduling.
Twice is fucking over the fans.
But three times... THREE TIMES!!!! ... is a DRINKING GAME!
Hey Luffy. Apparently we aren't getting any more MLP until, like, September or something (I must have missed you saying that if you mentioned it in the video), so I was wondering if you would be doing any other kinds of reactions in the meantime? Adventure Time maybe? :D
*****
Yes, Adventure Time is returning soon.
Luffyiscool Yay. :3
Yes, RarityDash wants a Celestia episode....just like me.
The new movie is friendship games!!
Yes, I know that. I put up a reaction and everything.
