Season 7 Episode Discussion [Speculation, Discussion, Spoilers] (SPOILER YOUR LEAKS)

I actually believe in power levels. If they meant nothing then subverting them would also mean nothing.
 
If power levels were nothing, then the gang in Lord Of the Rings wouldn’t have had to leg it from the Balrog, or Batman’s wins over Superman sometimes would be meaningless.

Normal is overrated
I just realized another problem with Forever Filly. In the beginning, Rarity looks through a photo book containing past photo shoots that she and Sweetie Belle did together.

Notice that these photos are adventurous and intended more for older people.
 
Than later we get these…

Perhaps, but it still feels forced to me. While I don’t think Forever Filly is a terrible episode, I do think it could have been stronger if Sweetie Belle herself was fully learning the concept of growing up. Something like that is rarely done in a kids show, the only one I know that sorta did it was Franklin.

I got a tarot card app recently and went so far as to do a reading for the next episode. I got five of cups.
 
Tends to symbolize loss and dissapointmemt.
 
I’m not saying that’s a concrete prediction, but definitely not a good sign.

I do wonder if this will be a self fulfilling prophecy. People will hate it because they’ve become so worried.
 
Note, i’m not an exception to this.
 
Then again, by that same token, it could also not go over AS bad because of how dire the expectations are.

So it turns out Forever Filly could potentially be Season 7’s Boast Busters/Mare Do Well/One Bad Apple/Rainbow Falls/Princess Spike/Applejack’s Day Off. Maybe they should’ve gone with the idea of SB doing things on her own and being bored, in hindsight. In fact, they should do it in a flashback to make up for it.
 
Sidenote, does anyone think the show is looking to crash and burn in Season 9 like The Simpsons did?

Eh I’d consider Honest Apple the first major dud of the season.
 
Forever Filly is just an okay episode with a decent ending and a meh setup.

@Der_Fur_Shur  
So, Applejack’s the new Spike, and Spike’s the new Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash is the new Fluttershy, I guess? Then Fluttershy would be Pinkie (Assertive but friendly), Pinkie would be Twilight (neurotic), Twilight would be Rarity (Thinks she’s the best because she reformed a dictator), and finally Rarity is Applejack (babies her little sister).

In my opinion Forever Filly wasn’t bad. It could have have been better, but it wasn’t bad. I give it about the same personal ranking as Fluttershy Leans In.

>That spoiler  
I am the only person in the world that rates a show by episode and not whole seasons? Seriously, i never understood people claiming that “simpson season X sucks and Y is better”, i always have just rate the episode itself. I don’t like the episode “the 90s show” but i don’t shit on all the season for it, i am sure there was another episodes in that season i liked but right now I can’t remember which were.

You’re probably not the only person in the world to rate shows on a per episode basis, but it seems relatively uncommon. Whenever I see people complain about shows, I often see them complaining about entire seasons at once.

I read this shit?
Shit, since Otaku is the only game in town I won’t be able to watch this live, I needed Lemon to be doing it.
 
Wish 5G would come out so I could stream this shit.
Background Pony #BB94
Lemon is kind of risky to watch though, since it’s on Twitch it could be taken down at almost any time including mid-stream.
 
So I’m stuck at watching it at 12:30 EST on Brony Network’s rebroadcast. Which really isn’t that bad, I just need to avoid these threads, derpibooru and Equestria Daily until I watch it.
