I feel like it's unpopular opinion, but Smolder's fear is my favorite, the reason why is because if you think about it, it's a lot of people's fears. She's afraid people will find out she loves cute and prissy things because she's a dragon and they're supposed to be tough, gritty, and thick-skinned. That's why she's constantly saying "I'm a dragon, it's what we do" lines because she wants people to think she is something she's not. Actually now that I think about it, Smolder's fear is kind of like a Brony who refuses to admit he likes colorful, cute ponies. ~
Yes because people are afraid of community, completely unnecesseary, we never should care about other negative opinions about our hobbies. I am so girly, some people thinks that I am stupid but I don't care. I love to sing, dance and wear bal dresses.
Smolder is honesty/strength (ala being honest with yourself as Apple Jack had to learn when she couldn't buck the whole orchard on her own, which is a strength all its own). Sandbar is loyalty/bravery (the choice of being the lone hero at the cost of your friends ala Rainbow Dash at the bridge facing the Shadowbolts, yet so willing to run into danger no matter the odds). Yona is kindness/healing (ala Fluttershy turning Discord into a friend, whilst proving this in earlier episodes by healing Rockhoof's heart by telling him how much he means to her). Ocellus is generosity/beauty (she's so afraid of becoming as selfish as Queen Chrysalis (the antithesis of Rarity's generous nature) that she has to ~take the 'out' offered~, which Queen Chrysalis did not do, to prove to herself that she is not the same as her former monarch, and lets face it, she's so C.U.T.E.). And of course, Silverstream is laughter/ hope (ala Pinkie Pie turning the heavy atmosphere of the wood into a fun moment in the first season, as well as being ever optimistic - the nature of hope). Gallus is magic/sorcery (he found his way out of his predicament with wits, he helped the people who were stuck with no solutions, and let us not forget... his situation leaves him alone in a crowd back home as seen in the Hearth's Warming Club which bares similarities to Twilight at the start of the show. It is coming to Ponyville that gave him friends and helped him change for the better. Gallus has a way with words and command. What is magic but the right use of words and the will to see it through?).
I thought it was Gallus - Magic (yay I got it right) Smolder - Generosity (Idk it was just a guy feeling) Sandbar - Kindness (Because of his nature like colors) Yona - Honesty (Again, a gut feeling) Ocellus (Sorry if I spelled her name wrong-) - Loyalty (AGAIN A GUT FEELING) Silverstream - Laughter (Obviously-)
If someone thinks that being girly is the sign of weakness. Then she is stupid. Yes she because they are many tough girls who don't want or they are afraid to be sweet and girly. I am tough girl and sport type girl like Rainbow Dash but also I love to be girly and sweet like Rarity.
Sandbar: Loyalty. Smolder: Honesty. Yona: Kindness. Silverstream: Laughter. Ocellus: Generosity. Gallus: Magic. I'm betting Gallus' statement to the Tree "Friendship isn't in our nature." will, in the fullness of time, prove to be as wrong as Twilight's statement "The fate of Equestria doesn't depend on me making friends."
Applegeek: "hmmneenmhmhmhmneemmh!! Uu stay right there! I'll be right back!" 🤣🤣🤣 The Young 6 elements of harmony representation: Gallus: element of generosity Silverstream: element of laughter Yona: element of kindness Ocellus: element of magic Smolder: element of honesty Sandbar: element of loyalty
@@dancingskye4193 You do realize there are much better ways of handling things like this, I hope. No ill will was ever present in my original comment (more or less something to make people even more excitedly curious about what potentially comes in the future). Yet, you instantly jumped all over me for no reason, spewing vitriol and profanity at every seizable opportunity, on top of making claims that simply aren't true. Kinda hypocritical to say that comment sections are for making people feel good, when just did the exact opposite for no justifiable reason.
I think I have a perfect qoute for Cozy Glow being evil "I met her... 15 years ago, I was told there's nothing left;no reason, no words,no conscience,no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong, I met this six year old foal with this... blank,pale emotionless face and the reddest eyes-the devil's eyes. I spent eight years try to reach her and then another seven try to keep her locked up because I realized that what was living behind that foal's eyes was simply and purely... evil"
Cozy Glow is trying to get them to rely on her. It makes one more ready to accept what she is doing without question. Cozy Glow looks like a philly, but I think she is a lot older than she seems. I still think Spike's summons was the tree's way of telling spike he is the cause of the problem and to get over himself. Yonan- Remember last season's "Not looking for Trouble". Prince Rutherford refusing help, and now Yona needed to get over that fear. The fear of spiders was the easiest to set up with Gallus walking his claw across her face. It could have been aost any other fear where she needed to admit she needed help.
38:10 For most of its life (1000+ years), it was "attacked" & drained of its magic; then constrained & slowly disolved with acids in a clear attempt to KILL IT. I think "Harmony" may have severe case of P.T.S.D. on anything "non-friendly" (it may explain why it "killed" the Mean Six and "reacted" so defensively to the Student Six´s statement about their "nature").
Here's my guesses as to the young six's elements. Sandbar: Loyalty Yona: Kindness Silverstream: Laughter Smolder: Honesty Gallus: Magic Ocellus: Generosity But that's just a guess.
The twist in this episode is that Cozy Glow is actually Harrison Ford and he was the bad guy the whole time. The ghost of Twilight Sparkle was actually the spirit of Harrison Ford's victim trying to warn the new 6 before the killer can kill them too. That's a little "What Lies Beneath" reference. Apparently this episode borrowed more than just the title from that movie if you think about it.
Sandbar fears disappointing the Mane 6. They are his heroes and he looks up to them. Yona fears spiders. It even was alluded to when Gallus made her think there was a spider on her while she was sleeping. Smolder fears others finding out she likes cute things, like dresses and tea parties (which I think is ridiculous since the Young 6 are more teenagers than kids and I don't know why she would like tea parties). Gallus fears enclosed spaces, or claustrophobia. Silverstream fears the Storm King for making her entire race go into hiding. Ocellus fears becoming like Chrysalis, to be cruel and ruthless like the Changelings of the past. Her fear is my favourite of the 6.
I don't think Smolder's fear was unrealistic. The dragon lands are barren and she's had to look out for herself since her first molt back when she was a baby dragon. It's ruthless out in the Dragon Lands! The strong survive and the rest get eaten or pushed around. But it's also a wasteland. It's fine since the dragon eat gems; they don't really need forest or flowers or anything like that. Yet lacking those things also makes them lack obvious comforts like pillows. We found out in Gauntlet of Fire the dragons don't have those. Going to Twilight's school would have been an introduction to all things cute and cuddly. An introduction into comfort and a little bit of letting yourself be pampered. I can believe she'd enjoy that! :D but if that were to get back to the Dragon Lands, her life there would be hell. And because of her upbringing, she wasn't comfortable admitting this to herself either.
@@ShayTheValiant I don't really know anything about them as I never had them growing up. But this seemed closer to Fluttershy amd Discord's weekly tea times than a tea party to me. Maybe the tree was using Smolder's lack of knowledge on the subject to get her to be honest with herself?
@@sunshineespeon517 though I have recently come to think once a Dragon has finished its Molt, they're allowed to come back to the family. After all, how can Dragon parents be the ones to normally train younger ones how to fly if they outright are kicked out of the family permanently, as Smoulder alluded to in episode 24. So, I see it as Molting dragons are kicked out both because their Molt Smell lures predators as well as stinks, but also as a test of survival. If you can survive through your Molt, you're a worthy Dragon and welcomed back into your family. If you don't... well, you die because you get eaten, so... yeah.
04:21 Blink and you miss it! -> The changeling transformation of Ocelus does not increased her mass [Cozy "displaced" her in a way it would be impossible for a pegasus filly against a fully grown, muscle filled, earth pony mare] nor removed her ability to fly [she did not "fall" from the table, but "glide away" instead].
I love this episode so much in general!! The student/young six are still as loveable as ever (even more so now), and it’s great seeing them get even more development. Their fears were all realistic and relatable, and the way they reacted/conquered those fears also felt quite natural. Gallus was as precious as ever, and Sandbar had a really interesting fear. Ocellus and Silverstream have very real, deeply-rooted fears, and Yona and Smoulder’s fears were quite realistic/comedic and made sense. Props to everyone’s VA for selling their fear so well! I also love that the Tree of Harmony has those big, wide eyes when it talks, and that the tree even has a more unnatural pattern of speech. I kinda wish they played on the big eyes and small pupils more lol. It’s always a sign of someone not being completely “normal”, and it makes the tree even cuter. Cozy Glow is such an interesting, fun character. I don’t think we’ve ever had one so gray as her. I genuinely enjoy how much the show is toying with its fans with Cozy’s personality. I won’t say anything else on her because that’d be spoiler-y. Although I will say Cozy’s speech to the other creatures was quite well-executed. The young six’s reactions also made sense. You can’t say Cozy said anything _inherently_ “wrong”, but the words obviously hurt. Very backhanded. The young six’s friendship is so precious. I really like their dynamic and how it’s kinda different from the mane six. I also like there are guy characters this time to change things up a bit. Gallus and Sandbar are my favourites (although I also really like Ocellus and Silverstream... And Smoulder and Yona are so precious! It’s genuinely hard to pick a favourite). ♥️
So many callbacks. 12:54 these spiders showed up in Maud Pie's first episode. Fluttershy explains that although they look scary, they're really friendly. But then Maud says she was looking at a rock and not the spider. Also, the fact that Cozy was making them feel at a disadvantage reminded me of when Diamond Tiara made Scootaloo self concious about her not being able to fly in flight to the finish. The challenges the young six have to go through are very reminiscent of the first and second episode of my little pony. Rainbow dash's challenge from ep2 mirrors the challenge she appeared in in this episode. Yona's mirrors Fluttershy's, Silverstream's mirrors Pinki epies where they though trees were monsters, like Sliverstream thought the rocks were storm kings... etc
The appearance of Harmony as an actual character makes me think, more then ever, that something big is planned for Starlight Glimmer. It's put a lot of effort into guiding her, in a way. She was the first the map sent them to. She was the first outside the Mane 6 that was given a map mission, and for Celestia and Luna no less . Then reconciled her with her father. The Map went to a lot of effort to help Starlight reform and join the group. Then you got Crystalis, who will likely end up as a test for Starlight.
The magic of the Elements of Harmony permeates all of Equestria. And every race, living in Equestria, every creature has the magic to some degree. Definitely, the Friendship also is in the nature of every creature!
Hold on let me get my "gibrish to Korean translator, and than translate that to Polish and than that into Japanese than to italian and finally to English Aha. Yeah. I thought so. He basically said "I just fangazmed a bit."
I was originally thinking that maybe the tree was going a little far with the whole threaten of imprisonmrnt, but then that’s been exactly what the Elements do to things that refuse friendship in the path. It could also explain why they banished Nightmare Moon to the moon first and only cured her the second time: they simply weren’t strong enough the first time but as the tree grew up they got stronger.
I waited forever to see your reaction to this Edit: also do you think the tree will soon have her own form? Like a princess of harmony with the tree harmony tree as a cutie mark? but the tree will still stay there but has a form to control
Harmony is exactly a male mainly because her voice is mixed with twilight but you tell Harmony is a girl because of her own voice is mixed with her own
It’d be fun to see that. Guess it could happen if it grows further (since it transforming into Twilight required it to grow too). One of my favourite designs for the ponified Tree of Harmony is here: www.deviantart.com/heilos/art/Return-to-Harmony-441589554
I didn't really know what to expect from this episode. All I did know was that it featured the Young 6, and the title was intriguing. Here are my highlights: 0:56-1:01 Twilight giving a class on the Tree of Harmony. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 1:01 "Ponydom"? Did you just make up a word there, Twilight? 1:02-1:05 You're not being funny, Twilight. Even Applejack thinks so. 1:07-1:16 Still not funny, Twilight. Also, Applegeek is becoming interested. 1:13-1:19 Yeah, there's that. 1:19-1:24 Silver Stream steals one of Pinkie Pie's best pop-culture references. Also, hi Cozy Glow. 1:27-1:34 Every creature hates taking tests. 1:32 Applegeek's face. 1:33 There's my favourite student pony with the blue bow in her mane. 1:43 Sort of. 1:43-2:03 Gallus mocks a tree. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 2:02-2:33 An ominous glow beneath the school. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 2:30-2:33 Oh, it will be. 2:38-2:46 That is a big question. 2:46-3:03 Sandbar and Ocellus teaching Gallus and Smoulder about the Tree of Harmony's history. 2:52 Ocellus' face. 2:54-3:01 Applegeek's reaction to the episode title. Also, the box grew Twilight's castle guys - don't forget that. 3:03-3:19 Silver Stream is excited about plumbing and sinks. Hey, you don't get many sinks underwater. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 3:19-3:24 Yona sleeping under a book. 3:25-3:28 Smoulder mocks Yona. 3:28-3:42 Gallus pulls a spider prank on Yona. At least, she's laughing with everyone after it's over. 3:42-5:30 This is the first proper interaction we've had between Cozy and the Young 6. 3:46-3:50 She seems to be doing a lot to get into Twilight's good graces. Don't you think? 3:57-4:21 Ocellus imitates Twilight and Applejack - very well I might add. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 4:22-5:23 It sounds like Cozy Glow is intentionally trying to discourage the Young 6 from learning friendship. Please don't tell me this is hinting at what I think it is. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 4:29-4:31 Cozy's face. 4:31-4:33 "What cute pony mean?" 5:04-5:09 That line and Cozy Glow's face. 5:10-5:15 That line and Cozy's face again. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 5:23-5:30 Wait - now she's offering to help them like a good friend? What are you up to Cozy? 5:36-5:47 Silver Stream's claw tapping sounds like galloping hooves. Gallus is annoyed. 5:40-5:44 Me neither. 5:45-6:03 Yep, there's disharmony going on here. 6:12-6:20 Applegeek is intrigued. 6:19-6:25 That makes sense. 6:30-6:33 Gallus is like: "me first, pony." 6:48-7:39 An apparition in the form of Twilight Sparkle appears. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 6:54 That much is obvious, Applegeek. 7:25-7:42 The apparition sets the Young 6 a test. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 7:40-7:56 The Young 6 are separated. 7:50-7:52 Agreed. 8:05-8:09 That line and Applegeek's reaction. 8:17-8:38 I was curious as to what these creatures were at first, but then I saw the Storm King's shadow and it all made sense. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 8:20-8:31 It's not often we see Silver Stream in her Sea Pony form, is it? 8:31-8:47 Gallus is trapped in a room that gets smaller if he breaks any light beams. 8:47-9:00 Yona is trapped a cave full of spiders. 8:49 That's right, Applegeek. 8:54-9:04 Applegeek's reaction to the spiders. Although they are smaller than he thinks. 9:00-9:29 Smoulder is trapped in a series of caves, which all lead to a pair of ponies having a tea party. 9:05-9:22 Oh no, it's G3! It's come back for revenge! Also, they both sound like that pony who bought the Celestia dress in Canterlot Boutique. Also, Smoulder and Applegeek's reactions. 9:09-9:13 Agreed. 9:29-9:50 Ocellus is trapped in a cave with evil changelings, and - wait for it - looks like Queen Chrysalis! I think it's safe to say that villain has become a comic relief at this point. 9:31-9:39 Applegeek's reaction to the evil changelings. 9:41-9:54 Applegeek's reaction. 9:50-9:53 Agreed. 9:50-10:15 Sandbar's test is more about temptation than fear. A fake Rarity and Rainbow Dash tell him they need help with a friendship mission, but he has to abandon his friends to do so. 9:55-9:59 Fake Dash's face. 9:59-10:02 Sandbar's face. 10:08-10:12 Fake Dash's face. 10:15-10:47 Gallus is freaking out at the confined space. 10:52-11:21 Breaking blue light beams opens the way out, while breaking purple ones closes it. Gallus uses this information to escape - just barely. 11:21-12:14 Smoulder is forced to embrace her femininity. 11:24 Smoulder snorting fire. 11:34-11:47 I know they're not real, but these lady ponies are so entertaining. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:41-11:46 That face of the pony on the right. 11:50-11:57 Smoulder actually sounding like a girl for once. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:53-12:00 Yes guys, this is seriously happening XD. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:56 That face. 12:00-12:02 Those eyes and sadistic grins. 12:02-12:14 There are...no words to describe this. It looks like something you'd see on Deviantart or Derpibooru. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 12:07-12:59 Yona running from spiders and then making friends with them. Maybe she's inherited Fluttershy's ability to speak to animals. 12:46-13:04 My thoughts exactly. 13:04-13:08 That question is much more suited to you, Smoulder. 13:06-13:15 Smoulder still wearing a dress. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 13:08-13:12 I'm sorry, Smoulder. But what has been seen can never be unseen. 13:23-13:30 This is very a good point. 13:38-14:08 Sandbar still being tested on his loyalty. 13:40 Sandbar's face. 13:52-14:10 I didn't realise some of these tests were related the Elements. That's a very interesting thought, Applegeek. (Continued in my other comment.)
"Twilight isn't usually that clever." While it is clear that, given the way in which the episode played out, Twilight was not involved in some kin of plan to educate the students by way of a scheme, I do think there are plenty of instances in the show where Twilight has proven herself capable of the kind of cleverness usually demanded in creating a scheme to educate/assist. Indeed, she seems to have had her hoof in a number of such schemes. There was, of course, the instance earlier this season where she worked with Starlight and Spike to orchestrate a pursuit of a missing magical artifact in order for Rainbow Dash and Rarity to reconcile, when the artifact was in no real danger. Perhaps Starlight could be cited as the mastermind in that case, but all we know really about what was at work behind the plan was that she, Spike, and Twilight were the main ones involved, and at the very least that establishes Twilight as one of the principal driving forces behind the plan. There was also the other occasion in which Twilight work with others to dupe Trixie out of the Alicorn Amulet. And Twilight also had a major hoof in the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well subterfuge. I do know that particular episode still rubs some people the wrong way (myself included, if I'm being honest), but the issue I'm addressing is whether or not Twilight is capable of demonstrating the kind of cleverness called for in such situations. As such, I would cite this as an example that she is. I am aware you also used the word "usually" in this case, and as such, perhaps the above could be seem as exceptions to the norm of how Twilight usually acts in this regard. If such is the case (and please know that I intend no insult here whatsoever, but merely anticipate this point in hopes of making my position as sound as possible), I suppose I would say that each of the above listed demonstrates a level of planning toward deceptive ends that is, at least, noteworthy. While it is only my impression (and, again, I truly mean no insult here), it does feel as though you are going a little out of your way to be overly critical of Twilight this season. Not drastically so, but in a way that does feel noticeable. I will confess there have been occasions this season where perhaps she hasn't been at her best. For instance, when she immediately assumed the CMCs were deliberately teaching Cozy Glow the wrong things in order to get back at Twilight for not allowing them into her school. But even there, while Twilight was in the wrong, there are some factors working in her favor. Twilight does seem the kind to be caught up in emulating the educators she had as a foal, and as such, perhaps this event registered with her as more of a time to be stern for the good of her students and school, rather than just being judgemental toward the CMCs instinctually. Also, the CMC had spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a way into Twilight's school that episode, and it is not as though the CMCs have not deceived Twilight before, with Twilight finding out their true intentions in the end ("Twilight Time"). I raise this one only as an example of a case where Twilight was ultimately in the wrong, but perhaps there were factors at play that may be found to weigh judgment against her in a slightly less severe fashion than one might be intially inclined towards. In the last episode, where Rockhoof wished to submerged in stone sleep, she was very much opposed to the idea, and argued with Rockhoof on the matter for what we can infer was a considerable length of time. While you did acknowledge that she was very much opposed to it, when she relented to a certain degree, you seemed to be upset on grounds that she had nowhere near exhausted all possible options for Rockhoof, and that stone sleep is analogous to assisted suicide. While I do know many people have drawn the parallel between stone sleep and assisted suicide, and acknowledge that it was perhaps the writers attempt at dealing with such a subject as closely as they could in a children's show (a point I believe you acknowledged as well), I confess that, despite possible intent toward this end, using stone sleep as an analogue for assisted suicide creates dissonance between thematic and narrative levels. The reason for this is because one cannot return from suicide. They can, in the world of Equestria, from stone sleep. We've seen it happen before, and all parties involved recognize that this not a state that Rockhoof would need to remain in permanently. Even Rockhoof himself, despite desiring to be preserved in a museum, acknowledges that stone sleep is not something from which there is no return. And Twilight only considers the option only in consideration for Rockhoof's wishes, and even then will only consider it as a temporary solution while seeking a better possible fit for Rockhoof. EVEN when she begins to tell Rockhoof she has the spell at the end of the episode, you can tell she is once again going to try protesting this solution. It is true that we see no consultation with the princesses concerning Rockhoof, but as you acknowledged, she did consult the other Mane Six. They seemed to have explored several options, and there might be enough to infer that we did not hear them recount every single option they had tried for Rockhoof, but rather merely ones they thought might work best/were the most noteworthy. Consultation of a kind also commenced with the other pillars. As far as not giving consideration to how the students might feel concerning Rockhoof being turned to stone, I would ask you to bear in mind that Twilight had been arguing up to that point with Rockhoof against the stone sleep option, and still seemed set on trying to convince him otherwise once last time before relenting entirely. Perhaps this was not a matter of not giving consideration to her students feelings, but rather the result of remaining hope that Rockhoof would reconsider and the students would not need to bear the pain of having their teacher turned to stone. At present, the only other issues I would address are minor ones concerning Twilight's notes for Rockhoof, as well as supervising him. You mentioned Twilight perhaps needing to know better by this point that not everyone is as receptive to notes. It did seem like Rockhoof did intend to read them, he just hadn't had the time yet. So it seems like he was certainly appreciative of them at the very least. As far as supervising is concerned, I think perhaps one could argue that, at least initially, Twilight would have been allowing Rockhoof freedom to teach unsupervised at first because of the very reason cited no much later in the episode, about how part of what their school is is teachers finding their own ways to teach. This seems reinforced by Twilight perhaps learning her lesson about micromanaging everything the teachers did at the beginning of the season, how it made everyone miserable and was not productive. In light of this, she provides notes on materials covered in class thus far, but allows Rockhoof enough room to try to do things his own way, approach the material on his own terms. When this proves problematic (with Rockhoof smashing the classroom, good as his intentions may have been, for instance), she steps in. Again, I really am not trying to insult. I am truly not. But it does seem like you are being a little too harsh to Twilight this season. She has had some bad moments, but maybe not as bad they appear when all the variables are considered.
A long explanation for exactly how I feel about his reactions as of late, especially considering Twily is my favorite pony! (Though this obviously doesn't take away my enjoyment of his reactions too much) Well said good sir! Brohoof! /) :D
YES YOU FINALLY REACTED TO THIS!!!! YES YES YES!!!! I LOVE THIS EPISODE. You are my favourite reactor and this is my favourite episode so YAY! And I feel like Silverstream had it the worst. She's basically experiencing ptsd. She was probly young when the Storm King tried to enslave her race. And now she is just getting to experience the world above and affraid that the storm King is gonna take it all away. Take away everything she ever knew and loved. Gallus is a close second considering his trapped included being squished to death if he failed. And I would really like it if they were the next elements but they just have so much personality you can't identify them with only one element.
I'm pretty certain that Harmony revealed itself to the young six because Gallus asked the it for a friendship lesson, better be careful for what you wish for!
My headcannon is that the Tree reverse engineered the "Mean Six" and can now manifest duplicates of the Mane six... (Or to put it in the words of Mr.Popo "No. Prepare to be Assimilated.")
Cozy hd upset them and then said she will allow them to borrow her notes because "that's what friends do". It looks like she wanted to "bribe" them into being her friends by showing how helpful she is.
hey Applegeek I was looking into Cosy Glows cutie mark the rook/castle and I found this: The Rook is the lapdog of the bosses; the president’s security. Rooks usually work to protect their leader and punish those who seek to undermine their superior. They stick close to their leader and tend to work better in pairs. The Rooks of society constantly work to gain their leader’s approval. In society, they often have a lot of power, despite being disliked by others for their clingy nature. Rooks are the henchmen. Rooks are the bodyguards. Rooks are the devoted followers. Could this description of the rook chess piece be possible foreshadowing of what cosy glow is going to do in later episodes just a thought mind you but it seems promsing
I understand that it is a magical Tree that is sentient in a television show, but that friendship lesson it shared is beyond any wisdom I could have ever imagined........
**SPOILERS for already-aired "The Mean 6"** Basically Chrysalis' clones getting totally nerfed by the Tree of Harmony was the major clue for me that the Tree was not only sentient but acted autonomously. That plus it controls the Friendship Map.
In "Star Wars: Clone Wars" was the similar episode when six younglings arrived to planet to find their crystals for laser swords. Crystals was in the cold giant cave and younglings should be found them before sunset. And they could find their crystals only breaking the weaknesses.(sorry for my bad english)
Sandbar: Test of Loyalty Ocellus: Test of Forgiveness Silverstream: Test of Courage Smolder: Test of Humility Gallus: Test of Intelligence Yona: Test of Acceptance
Sandbar = Twilight because he is like the leader of the Young 6. He hid them at the Castle of the Two Sisters and brought them supplies. Yona = Applejack because of their strength and their association with Rockhoof. Ocellus = Fluttershy because of how shy she is (or was). Smolder = Rarity because they both like gems and dresses and feeling pretty. Gallus = Rainbow because of their association to Gilda and Griffonstone. Silverstream = Pinkie. Do I really have to say anything?
The tip here is to not make parallels between the mane 6 and student six merely based on their outward physique or basic common shared traits alone. I mean yes from a simple glance we can say ocellus is like fluttershy because of how 'shy' she is (shes not really) or gallus is like rainbow dash because of how radical he may seem, but focus more on their personal qualities instead, such as leadership or patience. You'd be surprised when it's shown later in the finale and check back on earlier episodes when they display them:)
Honestly, from the start of Season 8 up until 10seconds before the end of that episode, I was 100% convinced that Cozy glow was nice. And in the last 10 seconds of this episode, this change of tone and that face... I completely knew she was evil.
23:11 but why though she would be an awesome villan and she would be the only villan ever to be set up so much earlier like this(except for like maybe Pony of shadows or whatever but he was mentioned in one episode in season two and they used him only because they ran out of villans) and it would make so much sense especially with her cutie mark being a chess tournament and I think that they have amazing potential with her if she turns out to be evil because as everyone's been noticing lately we don't have any villans except Crystalis left and introducing a new villan in such a clever way in season 8 is definitely challenging so I hope that's her purpose
I think that fluttershys communication with animals goes a little deeper than probably think. in sounds of silence she says 'I can always tell what angel is feeling, but these kareen don't show anything. I think fluttershy's communication with animals is not just an ability she naturally has, but a understanding of each other through friendship and trust. I think that explains how yona can talk to the spiders and make friends.
well about the ROOK CM, i think it does make sense that she's doing the smart way, yeah it's not the queen. but cozy glow is just a pony, she doesn't have power (like the queen) she has limitations (the other pieces ) but some ability, that used well and smart, makes it powerfull, and thats THE ROOK. the rook is known in chess because, it's kinda clumsy. the movement of the knight and bishop let them to move easily. and that's why these pieces go to atack first. (with the pawns, but this are more to get some space) but the rook doesn't. you need to move a lot of pieces to get it in the middle of the board. but, it has a nice way to atack. by ranks and files. the bishop and the knight are the ones who fight on the front. the queen is the powerful one who shows when it's needed. but the rook stays in the back. atacking some locations (with pieces between) but atacking. for a future play. those are like the "late game strategy" they atack or defend from behind,and you can see this in most of chess game, the towers always do moves on the first rank. to atack some file to make a play later, and sometimes to defend. and when they go to the other side of the board. it's because is one BIG PLAY, that gives a lot of troubles to enemy. or they really need assist and there are a lot of pieces lost in the board ( this situation is when the tower have a better movement, when there are much less pieces in the board). so i think we can say about the rook cutie mark. as a meaning, of "doing by the smart way" waiting. and not atacking so soon. aren't the best at power. but has some ability that well used. makes it so dangerous at the late game (in this case it could be being a child, smart (if she's evil and she's fooling evryone in this case), and she's so CUTE XD sorry i had to do it) i think this could be another meaning of the ROOK CM. and it wouldn't mean only strategy, but being the secondary one. and with this she could be the master mind behind (it would be kind of weird though xD )
OMG yes i forgot it. it a kind of "swap" with the king position. so it could mean she would try to get some power in the school (I mean since friendship university i've been wondering, why she is so helpful and seems that she's already get some influence in the school and a part of the staff, because twilight and rarity doesn't seem surprised she got the mail, and at the end she asks if rarity would keep the machines, like it was so normal for her) it could also help with THE ROOK meaning in this way to see it
Precisely ;> The real question is now: who's the king on this checkerboard ;> And yeah, she's pretty much planting her own "roots" deep into the structures of the school as well, winding every pony around her hoof and playing them like a putty :J The students as well as the teachers.
Well in this case it could be either other villian, being fooled by cozy glow. to get more than the one she's helping, or maybe the school stuff (but in this case it would be only for the castling move xD, because we are talking about te ROOT as a villian) or we could skipp that part since in chess you can't do "betrayals " xD.
At first I thought Cozy Glow was Chrysalis back with another plan but it's too soon for that to make sense, I'm starting to think Cozy Glow is either the daughter of a previous or unknown villain.
47:54 Do NOT let personalities confound you [Ocelus is "a Twilight" or "a Moondancer"]. Also: -> The "Elements" have nothing to do with "Friendship" or "Harmony"; but with ORDER. Leadership/Sorcery/Magic; Charity/Beauty/Generosity; Compassion/Healing/Kindness Devotion/Courage/Loyalty; Integrity/Strenght/Honesty; Optimism/Hope/Laughter
I just want to say that the tree of harmony is just becoming a god at a certain point. It's a sentient creature, kind of omniscient too, with a spirit and magical powers that grows as friendship grows in the world.
At some point of the show..... Is the tree of harmony going to have it's own character/toy design if so....wouldn't it be cool for discord and the tree to meet......harmony meets disharmony
Gallus: since friendship isn’t in our nature what’s the point? Me: so you mean to tell us that everything you did at the school and how the six of you became legit friends was nothing?
I did this once, I'll do it twice. Sandbar-Loyalty Yona-Kindness Smolder-Honesty Ocellus-Generosity (I guess.) Silverstream-Laughter Gallus-Magic. It's the only one left. I guess it _kind of_ fits.
For all those people who still watch My Little Pony, has anyone noticed that Gallus and Silverstream are always beside each other??? Also, 2020, anyone? Quarintine?
Longshot theory: Ocellus's worst fear and taking Chrysalis's form has a deeper meaning: she is Chrysalis's daughter and fears becoming just like her. I mean, she could have turned into her original form, so why turn into Chrysalis herself if her fear is about not having changed from her own past?
Okay, I wish to theorize about Cozy Glow. First thing, these are theories, mind you. Villain Possibilities: First Possibility: New Villain/Servant of new Villain Quite possible, but can’t say much past that. We can’t really know all that much then, so there is literally nothing else to say. Second Possibility: Nightmare Moon/Servant of Nightmare No. Third Possibility: Discord/Servant of Discord Most likely no. Some extremely ass-pull scenarios could be created, but doubtable. Fourth Possibility: Chrysalis/Servant of Chrysalis I’d say, out of the known villains, that this is the most likely scenario. Applegeek does raise some good points, but the whole smart thing isn’t true. Look at all of her appearances. “A Canterlot Wedding”-Chrysalis nearly won that fight, and if it wasn’t for her not completely being able to play out Cadence, Twilight would have never noticed, and she would have won. “To Where and Back Again”-In all seriousness, she won that one. She fully replaced all the powers in Equestria. She simply misjudged Starlight. “The Mean Six”- An odd, yet smart play. Plus, a multi-faceted plan is always a good one. Have multiple methods of attack, should one fail. Plus, her methodology and thought processes were sound. Yet again though, she made a misjudgment. So in conclusion, I fully believe that this is the greatest possibility out of all the known villains. Fifth Possibility: King Sombra/Servant of King Sombra As amazing as this would be, it is exceedingly unlikely. But like I said, it would be awesome. Sixth Possibility: Lord Tirek/Servant of Lord Tirek Ha. No. I mean, possible, but just no. Seventh Possibility: Starlight Glimmer/Servant of Starlight Glimmer Starlight isn’t evil anymore. *I accidentally added another Discord. Please ignore this, I am simply just too lazy to remove it and re-number everything Eighth Possibility: Discord//Servant of Discord Although not completely out of mind, pretty much no. Ninth Possibility: Storm King/Servant of Storm King he ded. Tenth Possibility: Tempest/Servant of Tempest She is no longer bad. (She REALLY needs to show up though!) Eleventh Possibility: Stygian/Servant of Stygian Yet again, not evil anymore. Twelfth Possibility: Chancellor Neighsay Doubtable, but possible. Seems to complicated though, considering he appears to just have a grudge against Twilight. Hero Possibilities: Lord knows about these. Although I’m sure the writers could pull some strings and make her good, just very cunning, as she seems to be. She could be an extension of Harmony, or she could be just some random pony. We can’t really tell yet. Personally, I doubt the good pony theory, because just the air of mischief and deceit around her character. If you go back to one of the previous episode reactions on this channel I expressed my opinion there as well, and although it has developed, I still stand by its key points. She is just too off-putting to be good. I simply believe it wouldn’t make sense, nor would it really work at this point. (However, please ignore the last section of my previous comment should you read it. Young Six are growing on me.) But, all of this is just my opinion. If you disagree, please comment your reason for disagreeing, so we can further develop these theories. And if you agree, but have a few things you wish to add or whatever else, please, do the same. It will help us all form a better overall theory for this mysterious character.
Smolder's fear might be the least scary to WATCH, but it'd probably be one of the harder ones to go through. Think about it like if a guy had to admit they secretly liked wearing dresses or makeup. (Not saying those things are wrong for men to enjoy, of course, it's just the closest parallel I can think of.) It's a cultural expectation that certain groups of people aren't "supposed to like" certain things. Like dragons and tea parties and frilly dresses. It might be amusing to watch, but I can totally see where it could be someone's worst fear. I also want to note that this is the second time Yona's ever asked for help overall and the only other time was when she was unable to swim. Remember that yaks *don't* ask for help. Even if she's becoming more comfortable with the idea from living with ponies, that shows just how terrified Yona was, casting away another cultural taboo.
btamamura well in case you're wondering, I wasn't being sarcastic, I was legitimate there, I was saying it in such a way that old ban Kenobi would say.
37:45 Cutiemarks are an hereditary CURSE [the kind Twilight did not believe possible in season 1] spliting from the SOUL of the pony´s mother like a mitochondria´s DNA in a cell. -> This is why "hybrids" of ponies like hippogrifs or kirins can not "acquire" one at conception (their "intrinsecal magic type" is different enough to "reject" the "parasite").
When you are seeing an anime that you like so much that you can't wait to the next episode to come and you are reading the manga. That's how I feel with this series, at least with this season. So I read the transcript of the next episodes and now I know everything that will be coming. This is also how Pinkie Pie felt when she knew about Flurry Heart. I won't say anything, but in the final episodes, I'll come here to say my thoughts.
Well I’m not surprised that the tree of Harmony could be senescent. It would make sense. How else was there Twilight cutie mark before she was borne? I wonder if it did plan everything out? If that’s true Sunset spat with Celestia was meant for her to go be a villain in the other world so they could be ready to defeat the sirens. This means there has to be a clear timeline! So that means everything is connected. And that means Anon-a-miss is cannon to Equestria Girls which means it is cannon to MLPFIM! I knew it! Daydream Shimmer was a temporary gift to help sunset!
I never thought about that with the cutie remark. It actually makes sense as to why starlight was able to go that far. If the episode were Twilight went back in time, Starlight shouldn't have that much impact and the futures we saw were only showed to us because of the map. Applegeek. Have you already watched all of the remaining episodes? Finally in honor of Billy from the grim adventures of billy and mandy: SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!SHE WILL DEASTROY US ALL!!!!

I feel like it's unpopular opinion, but Smolder's fear is my favorite, the reason why is because if you think about it, it's a lot of people's fears. She's afraid people will find out she loves cute and prissy things because she's a dragon and they're supposed to be tough, gritty, and thick-skinned. That's why she's constantly saying "I'm a dragon, it's what we do" lines because she wants people to think she is something she's not. Actually now that I think about it, Smolder's fear is kind of like a Brony who refuses to admit he likes colorful, cute ponies. ~
I love colorful and cute ponies
And I'm a guy
@@jahlilcarr6765 Me too
Yes because people are afraid of community, completely unnecesseary, we never should care about other negative opinions about our hobbies. I am so girly, some people thinks that I am stupid but I don't care. I love to sing, dance and wear bal dresses.
Wait so you are saying smolder is a GIRL!?!?
@@m.karthika7527 Well yes she is a girl and she lives in toxic kingdom, I feel sorry for her.
1:33
Congratulations Twilight, you made your students groan at the sound of a test.
NOW it's a realistic school!
So much for "Yay Finland"
True I'm always like that.
Um... Didn't Rainbow groan when Twilight had to tutor her?
@@leohino9211 yeah, but that had nothing to do with the school.
Yup lmfao
Smolder is honesty/strength (ala being honest with yourself as Apple Jack had to learn when she couldn't buck the whole orchard on her own, which is a strength all its own). Sandbar is loyalty/bravery (the choice of being the lone hero at the cost of your friends ala Rainbow Dash at the bridge facing the Shadowbolts, yet so willing to run into danger no matter the odds). Yona is kindness/healing (ala Fluttershy turning Discord into a friend, whilst proving this in earlier episodes by healing Rockhoof's heart by telling him how much he means to her). Ocellus is generosity/beauty (she's so afraid of becoming as selfish as Queen Chrysalis (the antithesis of Rarity's generous nature) that she has to ~take the 'out' offered~, which Queen Chrysalis did not do, to prove to herself that she is not the same as her former monarch, and lets face it, she's so C.U.T.E.). And of course, Silverstream is laughter/ hope (ala Pinkie Pie turning the heavy atmosphere of the wood into a fun moment in the first season, as well as being ever optimistic - the nature of hope). Gallus is magic/sorcery (he found his way out of his predicament with wits, he helped the people who were stuck with no solutions, and let us not forget... his situation leaves him alone in a crowd back home as seen in the Hearth's Warming Club which bares similarities to Twilight at the start of the show. It is coming to Ponyville that gave him friends and helped him change for the better. Gallus has a way with words and command. What is magic but the right use of words and the will to see it through?).
This was well thought out in my opinion good job. 👍
I was thinking the very same thing for these new characters.
I thought it was
Gallus - Magic (yay I got it right)
Smolder - Generosity (Idk it was just a guy feeling)
Sandbar - Kindness (Because of his nature like colors)
Yona - Honesty (Again, a gut feeling)
Ocellus (Sorry if I spelled her name wrong-) - Loyalty (AGAIN A GUT FEELING)
Silverstream - Laughter (Obviously-)
If someone thinks that being girly is the sign of weakness. Then she is stupid. Yes she because they are many tough girls who don't want or they are afraid to be sweet and girly. I am tough girl and sport type girl like Rainbow Dash but also I love to be girly and sweet like Rarity.
Yesss
Sandbar: Loyalty. Smolder: Honesty. Yona: Kindness. Silverstream: Laughter. Ocellus: Generosity. Gallus: Magic.
I'm betting Gallus' statement to the Tree "Friendship isn't in our nature." will, in the fullness of time, prove to be as wrong as Twilight's statement "The fate of Equestria doesn't depend on me making friends."
Cozy is definitely evil , i dont think people can defend her now
AceRay 24 yeah, no one will, not even
DEATH.
I didn't think that Cozy Glow was evil, until she stared through that grate like a psychopath!
travis f her TRUE goal will be revealed soon
People were defending her?
U mean ponies instead of people???😅😅😅
Applegeek: "hmmneenmhmhmhmneemmh!! Uu stay right there! I'll be right back!" 🤣🤣🤣
The Young 6 elements of harmony representation:
Gallus: element of generosity
Silverstream: element of laughter
Yona: element of kindness
Ocellus: element of magic
Smolder: element of honesty
Sandbar: element of loyalty

How so, friend? Kindly elaborate before making any more premature claims, if you would
@@dancingskye4193
You do realize there are much better ways of handling things like this, I hope. No ill will was ever present in my original comment (more or less something to make people even more excitedly curious about what potentially comes in the future).
Yet, you instantly jumped all over me for no reason, spewing vitriol and profanity at every seizable opportunity, on top of making claims that simply aren't true.
Kinda hypocritical to say that comment sections are for making people feel good, when just did the exact opposite for no justifiable reason.
Oh that Cozy Glow....
As Mermaid man said himself.. EEEEEVVVIIILLLLLLLL.....EEEEVVVILLLLLL!!!!!!!
Me: Evil?
Mane 6: Evil!?
Mermaid Man: ...
Mermaid Man: *gets slapped*
Mermaid Man: EEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIILLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I have a perfect qoute for Cozy Glow being evil
"I met her... 15 years ago, I was told there's nothing left;no reason, no words,no conscience,no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, of good or evil, right or wrong, I met this six year old foal with this... blank,pale emotionless face and the reddest eyes-the devil's eyes. I spent eight years try to reach her and then another seven try to keep her locked up because I realized that what was living behind that foal's eyes was simply and purely... evil"
E-EEEVILLLL!!
EEE EEEEEEEEEEEVHEEIILL!!!!
your right +Kermi Cozy Glow is one Evil pony.
16:30 Gallus: "Okay, hug time later."
Well... that wasn't a no.
Ship. A freaking ship.🥰
It is kinda scary how every MLP reactor is uploading their reaction videos in unison. I need a break.

Narrator007 posted his earlier too
And TPrower
Cozy Glow is trying to get them to rely on her. It makes one more ready to accept what she is doing without question.
Cozy Glow looks like a philly, but I think she is a lot older than she seems.
I still think Spike's summons was the tree's way of telling spike he is the cause of the problem and to get over himself.
Yonan- Remember last season's "Not looking for Trouble". Prince Rutherford refusing help, and now Yona needed to get over that fear. The fear of spiders was the easiest to set up with Gallus walking his claw across her face. It could have been aost any other fear where she needed to admit she needed help.
38:10 For most of its life (1000+ years), it was "attacked" & drained of its magic; then constrained & slowly disolved with acids in a clear attempt to KILL IT. I think "Harmony" may have severe case of P.T.S.D. on anything "non-friendly" (it may explain why it "killed" the Mean Six and "reacted" so defensively to the Student Six´s statement about their "nature").
Here's my guesses as to the young six's elements.
Sandbar: Loyalty
Yona: Kindness
Silverstream: Laughter
Smolder: Honesty
Gallus: Magic
Ocellus: Generosity
But that's just a guess.
These reactions have become a part of the show for me /)
(\
Good idea.
The twist in this episode is that Cozy Glow is actually Harrison Ford and he was the bad guy the whole time. The ghost of Twilight Sparkle was actually the spirit of Harrison Ford's victim trying to warn the new 6 before the killer can kill them too. That's a little "What Lies Beneath" reference. Apparently this episode borrowed more than just the title from that movie if you think about it.
It won't surprise me if there was ghost.
But can Cozy Glow survive a nuclear explosion while taking refuge in a fridge? :3
It would be amazing to see Harrison Ford actually lend his voice to the show. Don't you think?
Are you trying to start another Chuck Norris-like meme with Harrison Ford? It would be so unexpected. I buy it!
@@Chozo_Ghost By Celestia's arsehole! I HATE THAT MOVIE!!!
Sandbar fears disappointing the Mane 6. They are his heroes and he looks up to them.
Yona fears spiders. It even was alluded to when Gallus made her think there was a spider on her while she was sleeping.
Smolder fears others finding out she likes cute things, like dresses and tea parties (which I think is ridiculous since the Young 6 are more teenagers than kids and I don't know why she would like tea parties).
Gallus fears enclosed spaces, or claustrophobia.
Silverstream fears the Storm King for making her entire race go into hiding.
Ocellus fears becoming like Chrysalis, to be cruel and ruthless like the Changelings of the past. Her fear is my favourite of the 6.
I don't think Smolder's fear was unrealistic. The dragon lands are barren and she's had to look out for herself since her first molt back when she was a baby dragon. It's ruthless out in the Dragon Lands! The strong survive and the rest get eaten or pushed around.
But it's also a wasteland. It's fine since the dragon eat gems; they don't really need forest or flowers or anything like that. Yet lacking those things also makes them lack obvious comforts like pillows. We found out in Gauntlet of Fire the dragons don't have those.
Going to Twilight's school would have been an introduction to all things cute and cuddly. An introduction into comfort and a little bit of letting yourself be pampered. I can believe she'd enjoy that! :D but if that were to get back to the Dragon Lands, her life there would be hell. And because of her upbringing, she wasn't comfortable admitting this to herself either.
But tea parties for a teen, though? I don't know about that.
@@ShayTheValiant I don't really know anything about them as I never had them growing up. But this seemed closer to Fluttershy amd Discord's weekly tea times than a tea party to me. Maybe the tree was using Smolder's lack of knowledge on the subject to get her to be honest with herself?
Guys she's only like 14 chill out
@@sunshineespeon517 though I have recently come to think once a Dragon has finished its Molt, they're allowed to come back to the family.
After all, how can Dragon parents be the ones to normally train younger ones how to fly if they outright are kicked out of the family permanently, as Smoulder alluded to in episode 24.
So, I see it as Molting dragons are kicked out both because their Molt Smell lures predators as well as stinks, but also as a test of survival. If you can survive through your Molt, you're a worthy Dragon and welcomed back into your family.
If you don't... well, you die because you get eaten, so... yeah.
04:21 Blink and you miss it! -> The changeling transformation of Ocelus does not increased her mass [Cozy "displaced" her in a way it would be impossible for a pegasus filly against a fully grown, muscle filled, earth pony mare] nor removed her ability to fly [she did not "fall" from the table, but "glide away" instead].
I love this episode so much in general!! The student/young six are still as loveable as ever (even more so now), and it’s great seeing them get even more development. Their fears were all realistic and relatable, and the way they reacted/conquered those fears also felt quite natural.
Gallus was as precious as ever, and Sandbar had a really interesting fear. Ocellus and Silverstream have very real, deeply-rooted fears, and Yona and Smoulder’s fears were quite realistic/comedic and made sense. Props to everyone’s VA for selling their fear so well!
I also love that the Tree of Harmony has those big, wide eyes when it talks, and that the tree even has a more unnatural pattern of speech. I kinda wish they played on the big eyes and small pupils more lol. It’s always a sign of someone not being completely “normal”, and it makes the tree even cuter.
Cozy Glow is such an interesting, fun character. I don’t think we’ve ever had one so gray as her. I genuinely enjoy how much the show is toying with its fans with Cozy’s personality. I won’t say anything else on her because that’d be spoiler-y.
Although I will say Cozy’s speech to the other creatures was quite well-executed. The young six’s reactions also made sense. You can’t say Cozy said anything _inherently_ “wrong”, but the words obviously hurt. Very backhanded.
The young six’s friendship is so precious. I really like their dynamic and how it’s kinda different from the mane six. I also like there are guy characters this time to change things up a bit. Gallus and Sandbar are my favourites (although I also really like Ocellus and Silverstream... And Smoulder and Yona are so precious! It’s genuinely hard to pick a favourite). ♥️
So many callbacks. 12:54 these spiders showed up in Maud Pie's first episode. Fluttershy explains that although they look scary, they're really friendly. But then Maud says she was looking at a rock and not the spider. Also, the fact that Cozy was making them feel at a disadvantage reminded me of when Diamond Tiara made Scootaloo self concious about her not being able to fly in flight to the finish. The challenges the young six have to go through are very reminiscent of the first and second episode of my little pony. Rainbow dash's challenge from ep2 mirrors the challenge she appeared in in this episode. Yona's mirrors Fluttershy's, Silverstream's mirrors Pinki epies where they though trees were monsters, like Sliverstream thought the rocks were storm kings... etc
The appearance of Harmony as an actual character makes me think, more then ever, that something big is planned for Starlight Glimmer. It's put a lot of effort into guiding her, in a way. She was the first the map sent them to. She was the first outside the Mane 6 that was given a map mission, and for Celestia and Luna no less . Then reconciled her with her father. The Map went to a lot of effort to help Starlight reform and join the group.
Then you got Crystalis, who will likely end up as a test for Starlight.
If Starlight ends up as an alicorn then thank god the show is ending next season
Can't handle the show getting even better? It's understandable. Some people just can't handle awesomeness.

That's not really an improvement.
Actually, it is. Only the short sighted don't see that. 😈
@@BinguDingus
Ikr. Honestly if Starlight ends up an alicorn, I'm going to be very disappointed and glad that the season will be over.
The magic of the Elements of Harmony permeates all of Equestria. And every race, living in Equestria, every creature has the magic to some degree. Definitely, the Friendship also is in the nature of every creature!

SAVAGE SANDBAR
I was originally thinking that maybe the tree was going a little far with the whole threaten of imprisonmrnt, but then that’s been exactly what the Elements do to things that refuse friendship in the path.
It could also explain why they banished Nightmare Moon to the moon first and only cured her the second time: they simply weren’t strong enough the first time but as the tree grew up they got stronger.
Nevermore 728 that would explain a lot of things
I waited forever to see your reaction to this
Edit: also do you think the tree will soon have her own form? Like a princess of harmony with the tree harmony tree as a cutie mark? but the tree will still stay there but has a form to control
Harmony is exactly a male mainly because her voice is mixed with twilight but you tell Harmony is a girl because of her own voice is mixed with her own
It’d be fun to see that. Guess it could happen if it grows further (since it transforming into Twilight required it to grow too).
One of my favourite designs for the ponified Tree of Harmony is here: www.deviantart.com/heilos/art/Return-to-Harmony-441589554
True then again when people talk about none life like things it's perfured as she
(Plz don't qustion my spelling)
...what?
Do we finally get the illusive double alicorn then?
Tree of Harmony is best pony XD
Rebecca W i dont think that she is a pony. She just took the form as a pony. Like pennywise
HLK r/whoooooosh
HLK I know, I just wanted to say it :P XD it kinda backfired on me though
Rebecca W but it was funny:)
Since the Tree of Harmony took the form of Twilight, does that make Twilight best pony or...?
This is in the Top 3 for this season, hands down. The depth, the complexity, the world building. Oh, and MY THEORY IS CANON!!
I didn't really know what to expect from this episode. All I did know was that it featured the Young 6, and the title was intriguing. Here are my highlights:
0:56-1:01 Twilight giving a class on the Tree of Harmony. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
1:01 "Ponydom"? Did you just make up a word there, Twilight?
1:02-1:05 You're not being funny, Twilight. Even Applejack thinks so.
1:07-1:16 Still not funny, Twilight. Also, Applegeek is becoming interested.
1:13-1:19 Yeah, there's that.
1:19-1:24 Silver Stream steals one of Pinkie Pie's best pop-culture references. Also, hi Cozy Glow.
1:27-1:34 Every creature hates taking tests.
1:32 Applegeek's face.
1:33 There's my favourite student pony with the blue bow in her mane.
1:43 Sort of.
1:43-2:03 Gallus mocks a tree. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
2:02-2:33 An ominous glow beneath the school. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
2:30-2:33 Oh, it will be.
2:38-2:46 That is a big question.
2:46-3:03 Sandbar and Ocellus teaching Gallus and Smoulder about the Tree of Harmony's history.
2:52 Ocellus' face.
2:54-3:01 Applegeek's reaction to the episode title. Also, the box grew Twilight's castle guys - don't forget that.
3:03-3:19 Silver Stream is excited about plumbing and sinks. Hey, you don't get many sinks underwater. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
3:19-3:24 Yona sleeping under a book.
3:25-3:28 Smoulder mocks Yona.
3:28-3:42 Gallus pulls a spider prank on Yona. At least, she's laughing with everyone after it's over.
3:42-5:30 This is the first proper interaction we've had between Cozy and the Young 6.
3:46-3:50 She seems to be doing a lot to get into Twilight's good graces. Don't you think?
3:57-4:21 Ocellus imitates Twilight and Applejack - very well I might add. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
4:22-5:23 It sounds like Cozy Glow is intentionally trying to discourage the Young 6 from learning friendship. Please don't tell me this is hinting at what I think it is. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
4:29-4:31 Cozy's face.
4:31-4:33 "What cute pony mean?"
5:04-5:09 That line and Cozy Glow's face.
5:10-5:15 That line and Cozy's face again. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
5:23-5:30 Wait - now she's offering to help them like a good friend? What are you up to Cozy?
5:36-5:47 Silver Stream's claw tapping sounds like galloping hooves. Gallus is annoyed.
5:40-5:44 Me neither.
5:45-6:03 Yep, there's disharmony going on here.
6:12-6:20 Applegeek is intrigued.
6:19-6:25 That makes sense.
6:30-6:33 Gallus is like: "me first, pony."
6:48-7:39 An apparition in the form of Twilight Sparkle appears. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
6:54 That much is obvious, Applegeek.
7:25-7:42 The apparition sets the Young 6 a test. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
7:40-7:56 The Young 6 are separated.
7:50-7:52 Agreed.
8:05-8:09 That line and Applegeek's reaction.
8:17-8:38 I was curious as to what these creatures were at first, but then I saw the Storm King's shadow and it all made sense. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
8:20-8:31 It's not often we see Silver Stream in her Sea Pony form, is it?
8:31-8:47 Gallus is trapped in a room that gets smaller if he breaks any light beams.
8:47-9:00 Yona is trapped a cave full of spiders.
8:49 That's right, Applegeek.
8:54-9:04 Applegeek's reaction to the spiders. Although they are smaller than he thinks.
9:00-9:29 Smoulder is trapped in a series of caves, which all lead to a pair of ponies having a tea party.
9:05-9:22 Oh no, it's G3! It's come back for revenge! Also, they both sound like that pony who bought the Celestia dress in Canterlot Boutique. Also, Smoulder and Applegeek's reactions.
9:09-9:13 Agreed.
9:29-9:50 Ocellus is trapped in a cave with evil changelings, and - wait for it - looks like Queen Chrysalis! I think it's safe to say that villain has become a comic relief at this point.
9:31-9:39 Applegeek's reaction to the evil changelings.
9:41-9:54 Applegeek's reaction.
9:50-9:53 Agreed.
9:50-10:15 Sandbar's test is more about temptation than fear. A fake Rarity and Rainbow Dash tell him they need help with a friendship mission, but he has to abandon his friends to do so.
9:55-9:59 Fake Dash's face.
9:59-10:02 Sandbar's face.
10:08-10:12 Fake Dash's face.
10:15-10:47 Gallus is freaking out at the confined space.
10:52-11:21 Breaking blue light beams opens the way out, while breaking purple ones closes it. Gallus uses this information to escape - just barely.
11:21-12:14 Smoulder is forced to embrace her femininity.
11:24 Smoulder snorting fire.
11:34-11:47 I know they're not real, but these lady ponies are so entertaining. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
11:41-11:46 That face of the pony on the right.
11:50-11:57 Smoulder actually sounding like a girl for once. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
11:53-12:00 Yes guys, this is seriously happening XD. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
11:56 That face.
12:00-12:02 Those eyes and sadistic grins.
12:02-12:14 There are...no words to describe this. It looks like something you'd see on Deviantart or Derpibooru. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
12:07-12:59 Yona running from spiders and then making friends with them. Maybe she's inherited Fluttershy's ability to speak to animals.
12:46-13:04 My thoughts exactly.
13:04-13:08 That question is much more suited to you, Smoulder.
13:06-13:15 Smoulder still wearing a dress. Also, Applegeek's reaction.
13:08-13:12 I'm sorry, Smoulder. But what has been seen can never be unseen.
13:23-13:30 This is very a good point.
13:38-14:08 Sandbar still being tested on his loyalty.
13:40 Sandbar's face.
13:52-14:10 I didn't realise some of these tests were related the Elements. That's a very interesting thought, Applegeek.
(Continued in my other comment.)
"Twilight isn't usually that clever." While it is clear that, given the way in which the episode played out, Twilight was not involved in some kin of plan to educate the students by way of a scheme, I do think there are plenty of instances in the show where Twilight has proven herself capable of the kind of cleverness usually demanded in creating a scheme to educate/assist. Indeed, she seems to have had her hoof in a number of such schemes. There was, of course, the instance earlier this season where she worked with Starlight and Spike to orchestrate a pursuit of a missing magical artifact in order for Rainbow Dash and Rarity to reconcile, when the artifact was in no real danger. Perhaps Starlight could be cited as the mastermind in that case, but all we know really about what was at work behind the plan was that she, Spike, and Twilight were the main ones involved, and at the very least that establishes Twilight as one of the principal driving forces behind the plan. There was also the other occasion in which Twilight work with others to dupe Trixie out of the Alicorn Amulet. And Twilight also had a major hoof in the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well subterfuge. I do know that particular episode still rubs some people the wrong way (myself included, if I'm being honest), but the issue I'm addressing is whether or not Twilight is capable of demonstrating the kind of cleverness called for in such situations. As such, I would cite this as an example that she is.
I am aware you also used the word "usually" in this case, and as such, perhaps the above could be seem as exceptions to the norm of how Twilight usually acts in this regard. If such is the case (and please know that I intend no insult here whatsoever, but merely anticipate this point in hopes of making my position as sound as possible), I suppose I would say that each of the above listed demonstrates a level of planning toward deceptive ends that is, at least, noteworthy.
While it is only my impression (and, again, I truly mean no insult here), it does feel as though you are going a little out of your way to be overly critical of Twilight this season. Not drastically so, but in a way that does feel noticeable. I will confess there have been occasions this season where perhaps she hasn't been at her best. For instance, when she immediately assumed the CMCs were deliberately teaching Cozy Glow the wrong things in order to get back at Twilight for not allowing them into her school. But even there, while Twilight was in the wrong, there are some factors working in her favor. Twilight does seem the kind to be caught up in emulating the educators she had as a foal, and as such, perhaps this event registered with her as more of a time to be stern for the good of her students and school, rather than just being judgemental toward the CMCs instinctually. Also, the CMC had spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a way into Twilight's school that episode, and it is not as though the CMCs have not deceived Twilight before, with Twilight finding out their true intentions in the end ("Twilight Time"). I raise this one only as an example of a case where Twilight was ultimately in the wrong, but perhaps there were factors at play that may be found to weigh judgment against her in a slightly less severe fashion than one might be intially inclined towards.
In the last episode, where Rockhoof wished to submerged in stone sleep, she was very much opposed to the idea, and argued with Rockhoof on the matter for what we can infer was a considerable length of time. While you did acknowledge that she was very much opposed to it, when she relented to a certain degree, you seemed to be upset on grounds that she had nowhere near exhausted all possible options for Rockhoof, and that stone sleep is analogous to assisted suicide. While I do know many people have drawn the parallel between stone sleep and assisted suicide, and acknowledge that it was perhaps the writers attempt at dealing with such a subject as closely as they could in a children's show (a point I believe you acknowledged as well), I confess that, despite possible intent toward this end, using stone sleep as an analogue for assisted suicide creates dissonance between thematic and narrative levels. The reason for this is because one cannot return from suicide. They can, in the world of Equestria, from stone sleep. We've seen it happen before, and all parties involved recognize that this not a state that Rockhoof would need to remain in permanently. Even Rockhoof himself, despite desiring to be preserved in a museum, acknowledges that stone sleep is not something from which there is no return. And Twilight only considers the option only in consideration for Rockhoof's wishes, and even then will only consider it as a temporary solution while seeking a better possible fit for Rockhoof. EVEN when she begins to tell Rockhoof she has the spell at the end of the episode, you can tell she is once again going to try protesting this solution.
It is true that we see no consultation with the princesses concerning Rockhoof, but as you acknowledged, she did consult the other Mane Six. They seemed to have explored several options, and there might be enough to infer that we did not hear them recount every single option they had tried for Rockhoof, but rather merely ones they thought might work best/were the most noteworthy. Consultation of a kind also commenced with the other pillars. As far as not giving consideration to how the students might feel concerning Rockhoof being turned to stone, I would ask you to bear in mind that Twilight had been arguing up to that point with Rockhoof against the stone sleep option, and still seemed set on trying to convince him otherwise once last time before relenting entirely. Perhaps this was not a matter of not giving consideration to her students feelings, but rather the result of remaining hope that Rockhoof would reconsider and the students would not need to bear the pain of having their teacher turned to stone.
At present, the only other issues I would address are minor ones concerning Twilight's notes for Rockhoof, as well as supervising him. You mentioned Twilight perhaps needing to know better by this point that not everyone is as receptive to notes. It did seem like Rockhoof did intend to read them, he just hadn't had the time yet. So it seems like he was certainly appreciative of them at the very least. As far as supervising is concerned, I think perhaps one could argue that, at least initially, Twilight would have been allowing Rockhoof freedom to teach unsupervised at first because of the very reason cited no much later in the episode, about how part of what their school is is teachers finding their own ways to teach. This seems reinforced by Twilight perhaps learning her lesson about micromanaging everything the teachers did at the beginning of the season, how it made everyone miserable and was not productive. In light of this, she provides notes on materials covered in class thus far, but allows Rockhoof enough room to try to do things his own way, approach the material on his own terms. When this proves problematic (with Rockhoof smashing the classroom, good as his intentions may have been, for instance), she steps in.
Again, I really am not trying to insult. I am truly not. But it does seem like you are being a little too harsh to Twilight this season. She has had some bad moments, but maybe not as bad they appear when all the variables are considered.
Willowville Those are a lot of words...
A long explanation for exactly how I feel about his reactions as of late, especially considering Twily is my favorite pony! (Though this obviously doesn't take away my enjoyment of his reactions too much) Well said good sir! Brohoof! /) :D
YES YOU FINALLY REACTED TO THIS!!!! YES YES YES!!!! I LOVE THIS EPISODE. You are my favourite reactor and this is my favourite episode so YAY!
And I feel like Silverstream had it the worst. She's basically experiencing ptsd. She was probly young when the Storm King tried to enslave her race. And now she is just getting to experience the world above and affraid that the storm King is gonna take it all away. Take away everything she ever knew and loved.
Gallus is a close second considering his trapped included being squished to death if he failed.
And I would really like it if they were the next elements but they just have so much personality you can't identify them with only one element.
I would doubt that he'll ever return, since he was turned to stone, and then shattered.
Hendorne Endoh'roth I agree but maybe as a weakened form???
I'm pretty certain that Harmony revealed itself to the young six because Gallus asked the it for a friendship lesson, better be careful for what you wish for!
I had a feeling this would upload
Also points for my girl silverstream faces
4:29 "disadvantages? She means weaknesses, she using their weaknesses against each other!
My headcannon is that the Tree reverse engineered the "Mean Six" and can now manifest duplicates of the Mane six... (Or to put it in the words of Mr.Popo "No. Prepare to be Assimilated.")
The way she stayed there while the student 6 slept was creepy! 😳
Jesus Chavez it certainly was.
don't trust Cozy Glow. she may be cute on the outside, but she has a secret stuff on the inside and she's not chrysalis in this season.
Stephen Isaac that's because she clearly is not.
16:32 SHIP
SAME
Mettaton 48 I agree! Someone needs to write a fanfiction about them!!
Same :)
kindra Corbridge Don't give anyone any extreme ideas. LOL
Ship who?
Sliverstream’s faces are priceless! 🤣
Cozy hd upset them and then said she will allow them to borrow her notes because "that's what friends do". It looks like she wanted to "bribe" them into being her friends by showing how helpful she is.
Also this explains a lot about why the tree can choose random ponies etc.
hey Applegeek I was looking into Cosy Glows cutie mark the rook/castle and I found this:
The Rook is the lapdog of the bosses; the president’s security.
Rooks usually work to protect their leader and punish those who seek to undermine their superior. They stick close to their leader and tend to work better in pairs.
The Rooks of society constantly work to gain their leader’s approval.
In society, they often have a lot of power, despite being disliked by others for their clingy nature.
Rooks are the henchmen.
Rooks are the bodyguards.
Rooks are the devoted followers.
Could this description of the rook chess piece be possible foreshadowing of what cosy glow is going to do in later episodes just a thought mind you but it seems promsing
I understand that it is a magical Tree that is sentient in a television show, but that friendship lesson it shared is beyond any wisdom I could have ever imagined........
**SPOILERS for already-aired "The Mean 6"**
Basically Chrysalis' clones getting totally nerfed by the Tree of Harmony was the major clue for me that the Tree was not only sentient but acted autonomously. That plus it controls the Friendship Map.
In "Star Wars: Clone Wars" was the similar episode when six younglings arrived to planet to find their crystals for laser swords. Crystals was in the cold giant cave and younglings should be found them before sunset. And they could find their crystals only breaking the weaknesses.(sorry for my bad english)
Ocellous's test was the most traumatic.
And Cozy sounded like the chancellor with all the racism.
Hey applegeek! The meme faces are strong with this one!
Ah! An episode title with a double meaning!!! Another solid episode and my personal favorite of the Young Six episodes.
"I'm never gonna learn pony history!"
Just watch the show.
Sandbar: Test of Loyalty
Ocellus: Test of Forgiveness
Silverstream: Test of Courage
Smolder: Test of Humility
Gallus: Test of Intelligence
Yona: Test of Acceptance
Except a couple of those have nothing to do with friendship at all. Heck, the friendless villians have shown more intelligence.
I DON'T TRUST COZY GLOW!!
Queen Kate Rose the vampwerehog same
@@Charles-7 sir, please avoid hints here. I know too but let them have the surprise.
Jade Muse what I'm saying was the truth, nothing more.
she eeeeeeeeeeeeeevillllllllllllllllllllllllllll
XIN MAN LIM ruclips.net/video/cONmzaT4x10/видео.html
Sandbar = Twilight because he is like the leader of the Young 6. He hid them at the Castle of the Two Sisters and brought them supplies.
Yona = Applejack because of their strength and their association with Rockhoof.
Ocellus = Fluttershy because of how shy she is (or was).
Smolder = Rarity because they both like gems and dresses and feeling pretty.
Gallus = Rainbow because of their association to Gilda and Griffonstone.
Silverstream = Pinkie. Do I really have to say anything?
Think you would be surprised at the finale with who of the student six would be parallels to certain members of the mane six
Nadia is correct: Wait till the final episode! You'll notice... a familiar pattern!
I thought Yona on Applejack too, but after this episode I think more to Fluttershy, since she spoke to spiders.
The tip here is to not make parallels between the mane 6 and student six merely based on their outward physique or basic common shared traits alone. I mean yes from a simple glance we can say ocellus is like fluttershy because of how 'shy' she is (shes not really) or gallus is like rainbow dash because of how radical he may seem, but focus more on their personal qualities instead, such as leadership or patience. You'd be surprised when it's shown later in the finale and check back on earlier episodes when they display them:)
Cozy Glow is evolving...
3:06 so bathrooms are canon in MLP? Cool!
Honestly, from the start of Season 8 up until 10seconds before the end of that episode, I was 100% convinced that Cozy glow was nice. And in the last 10 seconds of this episode, this change of tone and that face... I completely knew she was evil.
Me:"I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE I HAVE NO SPOILERS."
A mlp commercial comes on.
Me:".................GREAT JUST GREAT."
Now it's offical: Cozy Glow is more than it meets the eye. But what more?
Clozy Glow...And this is a GREAT episode!
20:46 And then the tree was like: WHAT?!?!
23:11 but why though she would be an awesome villan and she would be the only villan ever to be set up so much earlier like this(except for like maybe Pony of shadows or whatever but he was mentioned in one episode in season two and they used him only because they ran out of villans) and it would make so much sense especially with her cutie mark being a chess tournament and I think that they have amazing potential with her if she turns out to be evil because as everyone's been noticing lately we don't have any villans except Crystalis left and introducing a new villan in such a clever way in season 8 is definitely challenging so I hope that's her purpose
20:44
Friendship is not our nature! Silverstream mimicked Gallus. (Laughing) She reminds me like Dory from Finding Nemo!!
Funny you mention star wars, cause what Harmony said
"you choosed what you saw in my roots, not me"
-What's inside?
-What you take with you
I think that fluttershys communication with animals goes a little deeper than probably think. in sounds of silence she says 'I can always tell what angel is feeling, but these kareen don't show anything. I think fluttershy's communication with animals is not just an ability she naturally has, but a understanding of each other through friendship and trust. I think that explains how yona can talk to the spiders and make friends.
Not wanting Cozy to be evil equals not wanting cats to meow I think by now. :P
Anyway, fantastic reaction! :D
well about the ROOK CM, i think it does make sense that she's doing the smart way, yeah it's not the queen. but cozy glow is just a pony, she doesn't have power (like the queen) she has limitations (the other pieces ) but some ability, that used well and smart, makes it powerfull, and thats THE ROOK. the rook is known in chess because, it's kinda clumsy. the movement of the knight and bishop let them to move easily. and that's why these pieces go to atack first. (with the pawns, but this are more to get some space) but the rook doesn't. you need to move a lot of pieces to get it in the middle of the board. but, it has a nice way to atack. by ranks and files. the bishop and the knight are the ones who fight on the front. the queen is the powerful one who shows when it's needed. but the rook stays in the back. atacking some locations (with pieces between) but atacking. for a future play. those are like the "late game strategy" they atack or defend from behind,and you can see this in most of chess game, the towers always do moves on the first rank. to atack some file to make a play later, and sometimes to defend. and when they go to the other side of the board. it's because is one BIG PLAY, that gives a lot of troubles to enemy. or they really need assist and there are a lot of pieces lost in the board ( this situation is when the tower have a better movement, when there are much less pieces in the board). so i think we can say about the rook cutie mark. as a meaning, of "doing by the smart way" waiting. and not atacking so soon. aren't the best at power. but has some ability that well used. makes it so dangerous at the late game (in this case it could be being a child, smart (if she's evil and she's fooling evryone in this case), and she's so CUTE XD sorry i had to do it) i think this could be another meaning of the ROOK CM. and it wouldn't mean only strategy, but being the secondary one. and with this she could be the master mind behind (it would be kind of weird though xD )
Don't forget the castling move ;>
OMG yes i forgot it. it a kind of "swap" with the king position. so it could mean she would try to get some power in the school (I mean since friendship university i've been wondering, why she is so helpful and seems that she's already get some influence in the school and a part of the staff, because twilight and rarity doesn't seem surprised she got the mail, and at the end she asks if rarity would keep the machines, like it was so normal for her) it could also help with THE ROOK meaning in this way to see it
Precisely ;> The real question is now: who's the king on this checkerboard ;>
And yeah, she's pretty much planting her own "roots" deep into the structures of the school as well, winding every pony around her hoof and playing them like a putty :J The students as well as the teachers.
Well in this case it could be either other villian, being fooled by cozy glow. to get more than the one she's helping, or maybe the school stuff (but in this case it would be only for the castling move xD, because we are talking about te ROOT as a villian) or we could skipp that part since in chess you can't do "betrayals " xD.
I LOVE COZY GLOW
both before and after the finale
2:42 hey speak of the "devil", it's cozy glow.
Charles 7 The Darla Dimple Pony
She might actually be the pony devil in disguise, a wolf in sheep's clothing
The Robert Walpole Pony! (Please let there be someone who watches Extra Credits)
12:03 I’m so dead. I just tipped my chair over 🤣
At first I thought Cozy Glow was Chrysalis back with another plan but it's too soon for that to make sense, I'm starting to think Cozy Glow is either the daughter of a previous or unknown villain.
Daughter? No.
Won't say anything further
I thought she was Chrysalis too
Holy cow man, you are super in denial about Cozy. XD
fun fact: Spindel is the swedish word for spider :)
22:21 is the face of absolute, undeniable evil.
47:54 Do NOT let personalities confound you [Ocelus is "a Twilight" or "a Moondancer"].
Also: -> The "Elements" have nothing to do with "Friendship" or "Harmony"; but with ORDER.
Leadership/Sorcery/Magic; Charity/Beauty/Generosity; Compassion/Healing/Kindness
Devotion/Courage/Loyalty; Integrity/Strenght/Honesty; Optimism/Hope/Laughter
I just want to say that the tree of harmony is just becoming a god at a certain point. It's a sentient creature, kind of omniscient too, with a spirit and magical powers that grows as friendship grows in the world.
Also, for all those who wonder why Silverstream is my favorite of the Young Six, this episode pretty much sums it up for you. I just love her so much!
At some point of the show..... Is the tree of harmony going to have it's own character/toy design if so....wouldn't it be cool for discord and the tree to meet......harmony meets disharmony
Twilight sparkle is sparkling and I'm not talking about the movie lol
Yay.
Just in case you didn't know who said that, it was Flutter Shy! :)
Gallus: since friendship isn’t in our nature what’s the point?
Me: so you mean to tell us that everything you did at the school and how the six of you became legit friends was nothing?
I did this once, I'll do it twice.
Sandbar-Loyalty
Yona-Kindness
Smolder-Honesty
Ocellus-Generosity (I guess.)
Silverstream-Laughter
Gallus-Magic. It's the only one left. I guess it _kind of_ fits.
For all those people who still watch My Little Pony, has anyone noticed that Gallus and Silverstream are always beside each other??? Also, 2020, anyone? Quarintine?
I SHIP THEM HARD
@@cx-519 😂
Ship✨✨✨
And yeah, still in quarantine. XD
8:55 - 9:00 I have Arachnophobia to, and that is how I felt when I watched this episode the first time.
I know how you feel, Applegeek.
This episode was like the Star Wars the clone wars episode: the gathering, only with a lesson in friendship
Longshot theory: Ocellus's worst fear and taking Chrysalis's form has a deeper meaning: she is Chrysalis's daughter and fears becoming just like her. I mean, she could have turned into her original form, so why turn into Chrysalis herself if her fear is about not having changed from her own past?
Lol 😂! I died at the constant NOPE MEMES.🤣🤣 9:02
They need to bring Tempest back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mantis the Changeling eather season finally or next season beginning
i'm agree with you, but idk if they can afford her VA~
Can you donate 2 million to that cause?
Okay, I wish to theorize about Cozy Glow. First thing, these are theories, mind you.
Villain Possibilities:
First Possibility: New Villain/Servant of new Villain
Quite possible, but can’t say much past that. We can’t really know all that much then, so there is literally nothing else to say.
Second Possibility: Nightmare Moon/Servant of Nightmare
No.
Third Possibility: Discord/Servant of Discord
Most likely no. Some extremely ass-pull scenarios could be created, but doubtable.
Fourth Possibility: Chrysalis/Servant of Chrysalis
I’d say, out of the known villains, that this is the most likely scenario. Applegeek does raise some good points, but the whole smart thing isn’t true. Look at all of her appearances. “A Canterlot Wedding”-Chrysalis nearly won that fight, and if it wasn’t for her not completely being able to play out Cadence, Twilight would have never noticed, and she would have won. “To Where and Back Again”-In all seriousness, she won that one. She fully replaced all the powers in Equestria. She simply misjudged Starlight. “The Mean Six”- An odd, yet smart play. Plus, a multi-faceted plan is always a good one. Have multiple methods of attack, should one fail. Plus, her methodology and thought processes were sound. Yet again though, she made a misjudgment. So in conclusion, I fully believe that this is the greatest possibility out of all the known villains.
Fifth Possibility: King Sombra/Servant of King Sombra
As amazing as this would be, it is exceedingly unlikely. But like I said, it would be awesome.
Sixth Possibility: Lord Tirek/Servant of Lord Tirek
Ha. No. I mean, possible, but just no.
Seventh Possibility: Starlight Glimmer/Servant of Starlight Glimmer
Starlight isn’t evil anymore.
*I accidentally added another Discord. Please ignore this, I am simply just too lazy to remove it and re-number everything
Eighth Possibility: Discord//Servant of Discord
Although not completely out of mind, pretty much no.
Ninth Possibility: Storm King/Servant of Storm King
he ded.
Tenth Possibility: Tempest/Servant of Tempest
She is no longer bad. (She REALLY needs to show up though!)
Eleventh Possibility: Stygian/Servant of Stygian
Yet again, not evil anymore.
Twelfth Possibility: Chancellor Neighsay
Doubtable, but possible. Seems to complicated though, considering he appears to just have a grudge against Twilight.
Hero Possibilities:
Lord knows about these. Although I’m sure the writers could pull some strings and make her good, just very cunning, as she seems to be. She could be an extension of Harmony, or she could be just some random pony. We can’t really tell yet. Personally, I doubt the good pony theory, because just the air of mischief and deceit around her character. If you go back to one of the previous episode reactions on this channel I expressed my opinion there as well, and although it has developed, I still stand by its key points. She is just too off-putting to be good. I simply believe it wouldn’t make sense, nor would it really work at this point. (However, please ignore the last section of my previous comment should you read it. Young Six are growing on me.)
But, all of this is just my opinion. If you disagree, please comment your reason for disagreeing, so we can further develop these theories. And if you agree, but have a few things you wish to add or whatever else, please, do the same. It will help us all form a better overall theory for this mysterious character.
9:40 Did I really expect that? No.
Who else just watches him for free full episodes?
Smolder's fear might be the least scary to WATCH, but it'd probably be one of the harder ones to go through. Think about it like if a guy had to admit they secretly liked wearing dresses or makeup. (Not saying those things are wrong for men to enjoy, of course, it's just the closest parallel I can think of.) It's a cultural expectation that certain groups of people aren't "supposed to like" certain things. Like dragons and tea parties and frilly dresses. It might be amusing to watch, but I can totally see where it could be someone's worst fear.
I also want to note that this is the second time Yona's ever asked for help overall and the only other time was when she was unable to swim. Remember that yaks *don't* ask for help. Even if she's becoming more comfortable with the idea from living with ponies, that shows just how terrified Yona was, casting away another cultural taboo.
tocp03 Smolder's fear is actually more cringie then scary.
btamamura yeah, "from a certain point of view"
btamamura well in case you're wondering, I wasn't being sarcastic, I was legitimate there, I was saying it in such a way that old ban Kenobi would say.
This episode was mind-blowing funny awesome amazing and totally unexpected surprises which were insane!.😮
Yes! Got here within 20 minutes! Glad I kept refreshing the videos page on your account! Woot!
37:45 Cutiemarks are an hereditary CURSE [the kind Twilight did not believe possible in season 1] spliting from the SOUL of the pony´s mother like a mitochondria´s DNA in a cell.
-> This is why "hybrids" of ponies like hippogrifs or kirins can not "acquire" one at conception (their "intrinsecal magic type" is different enough to "reject" the "parasite").
THE HYPE WILL KEEP GETTING BETTER!
When you are seeing an anime that you like so much that you can't wait to the next episode to come and you are reading the manga.
That's how I feel with this series, at least with this season. So I read the transcript of the next episodes and now I know everything that will be coming. This is also how Pinkie Pie felt when she knew about Flurry Heart. I won't say anything, but in the final episodes, I'll come here to say my thoughts.
8:55 ACROMANTULAS! Wait- is that you, Charlotte?
When you saw no to the spiders at 9:02, that almost reminds me of “Spiders To The Hell Naw”.
There something up with cozy glow that's for sure
SweetPrincessAlicorn yeb, something is definitely up with her all right.
I've never shipped anyone in mlp before, but I've said this a few times now, Gallus and Silverstream. Something about those 2 is just so unique.
Well I’m not surprised that the tree of Harmony could be senescent. It would make sense. How else was there Twilight cutie mark before she was borne? I wonder if it did plan everything out? If that’s true Sunset spat with Celestia was meant for her to go be a villain in the other world so they could be ready to defeat the sirens.
This means there has to be a clear timeline!
So that means everything is connected.
And that means Anon-a-miss is cannon to Equestria Girls which means it is cannon to MLPFIM! I knew it! Daydream Shimmer was a temporary gift to help sunset!
Silver Stream is such a cutie. She's just the most huggable thing
I seriously have a bad feeling about cozy She's really up to something 🤨🤔
yoshifan30 oh she up to something all right 😈
Either way she's the worst
Charlotte Plays oh don't worry, I already saw it.
yoshifan30 man, applegeek's gonna be so shock when he sees Cozy's TRUE goal.
@@Charles-7 he's going to freak out when he sees the ending
I never thought about that with the cutie remark. It actually makes sense as to why starlight was able to go that far. If the episode were Twilight went back in time, Starlight shouldn't have that much impact and the futures we saw were only showed to us because of the map.
Applegeek. Have you already watched all of the remaining episodes?
