COMMISSION/REQUEST LIST!

So I've watched this morning Viva las legasus and Every little thing she does. The first one wasn't bad and it looks creative, specially the place, but it doesn't have an engaging story. It's something that exists and nothing else. But the next one... wow.

In october I've said that I didn't want to watch 28 pranks later because it seems to be the easiest episode to write: Rainbow Dash pranking to everyone for 20 minutes until she receives the ultimate prank. Some weeks later I decided to read the transcript and watch the screencaps of the episode that shows the story. Well, guess what: It's exactly what I thought it's gonna be. Some people would say that this is not the way to watch an episode. But, to be fair, there's nothing creative in these screencaps and the situations.

Anyway, in that comic I've said as a sarcastic comment if they are gonna do episodes like Pinkie Pie eating the ground for 20 minutes or Lesson Zero starring by Starlight Glimmer. Well, guess what: The second concept was real.

To be honest, the first thing I thought about Lesson Zero with Starlight was when I finished No Second Prances, because that episode looks like Twilight Sparkle in the season 1, where she has to learn all the things of friendship. By that time, it was just a boring idea. But, after watching this episode, who's gonna bet Starlight will turn into an alicorn? I'm saying this in another way: Who's gonna bet that Starlight will follow all the phases of Twilight she had in the seasons 1, 2 and 3?

About the episode, it's a bad one. I won't say the typical "Pinkie Pie doesn't look like Pinkie Pie" here because it's obvious she's not, but before I talk about Starlight, let's take a look at her. The unicorn has a spell that everypony can obey her. Well, in the "obey state" of Pinkie Pie she looks very creepy. I think it's obvious because she looks like a zombie. But... didn't she act the same character in almost every single episode since season 3? I mean, if you take away that spell, she doesn't look very different. I remember that in Know Your Meme I watch that gif of Pinkie Pie making cakes as quick as possible with no context and I thought that was really her. But it's a spell that makes her obey Starlight. My point is: That scene should have been much more effective if they didn't write stupid things for Pinkie, like Wonderbolts Academy, The one where Pinkie Pie knows, Cutie Map, Party Pooped or Gift of the Maud Pie.

Now let's talk about Starlight. Boy, do the writers really want us to sympathize with her. But not only it's hard to do because she is extremely powerful (like a character from Dragon Ball), but she keeps doing the same wrong decisions. "Let's brainwash some friends like I was doing to that town from season 5". It doesn't look natural and it's really hard to feel any emotion for her, which is weird because she didn't do the same spell with Trixie.

The episode is overall unpleasant. I remember in the minute 7 that creepy Pinkie Pie face happened (the one from the fourth panel) and the next thing I did was mute the video, listen to some relaxing music and keep watching the muted episode with the music on. And then there's this Fluttershy moment where she has all these worms and... it's very disturbing! I don't find these moments funny. I felt sorry for these characters. If this moment was made for something like Rick & Morty, it would work because it fits witht he style and the world of these characters. That moment doesn't fit to a show like this. I think I didn't enjoy the episode because not only it's not creative, but, for a seventh main character, I think she doesn't deserve the apologies accepted after what she have done with her friends. It's like Man of Steel, where Superman kills some innocent people and destroys Metropolis. This episode looks like the writer despise the mane 6 so he write the episode in a way everyone can be humilliated. I'm not saying it's true, but it seems to look like that.

You know? If this is what I think after watching the episode with no sound, I don't want to imagine it unmuted.

Just because there's a seventh main character doesn't make her likeable. Actions defines a character. Just because one pink pony is called Pinkie Pie doesn't make her like the same one from the old seasons.

If you really really love Starlight, you'll probably enjoy this episode. If you loved Lesson Zero to the point that you want to hear the same story again, you'll love this one. If you love overpowered characters, you'll like the episode. But if you want to see something charming, creative or new... I think you won't like the episode.

I think I'm going to be in the minority with this episode.

Welp, two episodes done. Five more to go.
