Um...the fact that thinking King Sombra is a pitiful villain might be a little bit on the overlooking side? That there's more to his appearance that we thought?
While I thought he was a little bad, I wasn't in "analysis mode" at the time. And then I saw someone's critical analysis on him and started thinking "Wow, he's good at what he does!"

Sombra served his purpose to the plot. Not every villain needs to have a deep backstory or rich personality to be a threat. The writers needed a threatening PRESENCE to get the story going and that's all Sombra really needed to be. Sure, Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Crystalis all had more personality and development, but they're all different characters and they were designed in such a way that development of their characters was necessary. Sombra just needed to be big and menacing.

And he did his job well.
He basically was a personification (ponification?) of the failure that Twilight was afraid of

Yep yep yep! Couldn't agree more.

One thing people who were wishing for a deeper villain need to realize is that this episode was Twilight being put to the ultimate test, not some quirky villain. With 22 minutes per episode to tell this two parter, they had to keep a strict focus on something. The writers made the right call keeping it on the good ponies. Besides, we already have Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Crystalis.

SPOILER POST!!

We start off with Pinkie Pie trying everything with her friends. With us knowing her, surprisingly, she gets exhausted as a result.

EDIT 1: After Fluttershy helps Pinkie recover, Applejack and Rainbow Dash both invite Pinkie to do something and they're both at the same time. As such, Pinkie tries to get herself faster, but Twilight tells her that the only way she could pull off her problem would be to be at two places at once. From that, Pinkie remembers an old story.

Out of all the places, the magical pond is located in The Everfree Forest. On top of that, the clones only retain a certain personality and not a full memory.

Afterward, Fluttershy invites the new clone to a tea party. The clone, who was supposed to join Applejack, freaks out and meets up with the real one, who is hanging with Rainbow Dash.

The two return to the pond and clone themselves. The new clones get carried away and clone over and over.

The clones cause massive chaos everywhere and the citizens go to Twilight to get help. She finds the book about the legend with a spell to bring the clones back. The catch though is that if you can't tell the real one apart, you might get rid of that one as a result.

Twilight comes up with a test to tell which one is the real one. The test, watching paint dry. (Yes, the least fun thing in the world.) The fakes easily get distracted and are set back while the real one keeps her eyes on the paint just to pass.

We end with Pinkie giving the lesson she learned and Twilight blocking the entrance to the magical pond for good. Pinkie's friends want to celebrate having the real one back, all with different ideas. Pinkie though decides to celebrate with a well deserved nap!

WHEW! Done!

On to the review.

REVIEW POST!

Fun episode is fun! It's a perfect one for Pinkie. It's just really an enjoyable filler. The real icing on the cake for the rapid bronies is the many cameos in this. I can't name them all, but I will tell you to keep an eye out for a certain pony from Canterlot.

So yeah, if you have time to waste and just want something fun to watch, give this one a look.

Someone else take care of the YouTube post please. I won't have time for it.

See ya later! :)

Sure. It's never too late to join. Welcome and I like Spike too, but my favorite character is Rainbow Dash.

So when did you get into the show?

Yea, welcome to the herd, I think the phrase is. I like Spike also. I don't think I have a favorite pony myself.


Was just watching a bit of a video that showed some season 2 animation mistakes, interesting to see.

So long as you don't plan on causing any problems (like a certain traitor that I won't mention) we're fine with you being a part of the herd.
