I meant it’s not the Rainbow Power colors, only the Main 6 colors.

@EHAN  
i think thats their nickname, rainbow power colors.

@Background Pony #D14B  
@paluzna  
Or it could just be the coat colors of the Main 6.

@Background Pony #D14B  
huh, nice catch.

About the parasprites, Magic Duel did it first.

@Background Pony #56CB  
I guess that’s what I meant- they were actually lying and scamming in this one, playing a more traditional villain role. What I liked was how rather than just being typical MLP antagonists, they used a legitimate argument to justify what they were doing, and cleverly used Applejack’s compassion against her. I think a trait of any good villain is that they have a way to justify their motivations.
 
Also there were serious consequences to Applejack’s mistake, moreso than the other key episodes. As in, Granny Smith was almost killed, and the Flim Flam Brothers actually got away with a lot of the cash.

I actually found the brothers less sinister in this. They made their intentions clear that they wanted to run the apples out of business in their first episode. The worst they did here was lie about the effects of their tonic.
 
Granted, I actually liked them here than in the other one. This was an actual scam, a flim flam, unlike their first appearance which was mostly machine VS non-machine with no real deceit at all. They felt more in-element here to me.

I liked this episode a lot actually. I loved the song, and I also thought it gave Applejack’s character a more depth than the other rainbow key episodes gave theirs. It portrayed her as having a very human set of flaws. It also portrayed the Flim Flam Brothers as a little more sinister, which is good. I think this is my second favorite of the rainbow key episodes

Tone isn’t exactly something you can relay in an online chat.

Drama would be “no, you goddamn idiot, Granny Smith could live jumping into a pie tin because this is a cartoon.”

Meanwhile, about the parasprites: relax. They’re dead, and being used to decorate hats (I checked, there’s more than one hat decorated like that).

@Background Pony #554D  
we are having a mild argument and a discussion.

does this qualify for drama in the comments tag yet?

@And Brother I Hurt People  
really?  
your comments sounded like this situation had no direness at all because it was a cartoon…

@gittonsxv
 
Who said it wasn’t? I’m certainly not trying to play it off.
 
 
@gittonsxv
 
I misunderstood.
 
I’m not trying to work against anything. You give your part, I give mine.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Oh, yes, of course. I haven’t thought about that.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
jumping into the smallest pool from a set height…  
why do you work against me instead of trying to work with me? i try and do it.

cant contain the facepalm.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
yes it has some cartoon silliness but it is still a dire situation, doing a swan dive from the tallest diving post into a plate of water is fucking terrifying.

@gittonsxv
 
Then what would stop someone from getting a diving board five inches from the ground and stepping into a petri dish?

@gittonsxv
 
A old pony who has been around since the founding of Ponyville did not break every bone in her body when her versatile granddaughter forcibly yanked her from a great height upwards.
 
If you think the entire setup isn’t running off of cartoon logic, or really, almost every episode of this show, then you’re just being silly.

@And Brother I Hurt People  
or the record is to jump into the smallest pool.

(also, if she was trying to break a record, that implies that someone had successfully jumped from a somewhat similar height)

@And Brother I Hurt People  
dude,  
you can not just spout cartoon logic in every moment just because it is a cartoon.
