The name is promising.    Makes me think of the eighties.

Rarity sneezing, already?! :D  Not watching that preview, I wanna be surprised come Saturday!  Hooray for more sneezing though!!! Hopefully many throughout the episode.

She technically doesn't sneeze in the preview but I won't spoil it for you.

How come the animation looks so much better on this clip then usual?  The big dragons are animated so smoothly and almost have shading to them?

ALSO THAT SCENE BETTER NOT CUT AWAY WHEN RARITY SNEEZES.  I WANNA SEE THE SNEEZE, all over Twilight.  NOT OUTSIDE OF THAT STUMP.  What a wonderful sneeze about to come though.  Wonderful build up, feathers, sneeze fetish fodder!  HAPPY!!!

*Smiles and shakes head at Rainberry.*

Anyways, based on what I have read, I am really excited.  I wanna see dragons, and I wanna see this sneeze that sounds like it has a great build up and is sneeze fetish fodder!

Yea that sneeze was definitely animated like something out of a fanfic.

When I said it was a good sign we had two sneezes right at the start of this season, I wasn't kidding. Now, we're already gonna have another one. XD

Is that correct? :D

I am so happy we get some more sneezes.  Don't even care who from, at least it is a Mane 6.

Hey, hey!  That is pretty good.  Nice teaser, for us at least!

The episode looks like it will be fun too. 
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"
Post by: ✨proponypal✨ on 2016-04-15 10:46:31
I hope the episode isn't the same as "Dragon Quest" cause that would be disappointing. Otherwise, it seems pretty cool! I hope we get to learn more about the dragons in Equestria with this episode.
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"
Post by: Kyrl on 2016-04-15 10:49:46
I think that female blue dragon flying near the big guy is going to be a big part of it.

I hope we get more Spike character building.  I feel for the most part, whenever they make an episode about him, it always falls short.  They try to portray him one way, and it fails.  Then they try another, it fails.

Not gonna lie. I just saw the preview for it. Rarity's build-up. <3

Episode was excellent.  Ember was great, Garble was a bit overboard in the jerk-ass category but even he managed to be cute.  Think Spike might finally be over Rarity too.

I can't wait to watch it.  I am gonna try and watch it tomorrow.

I loved it. ;D
I liked that Spike didn't act like a "dummy" in this episode, if you get what I mean. ;)
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"

Part of me expected a bigger sneeze, but it was fine nonetheless. XD

Amusing how all everyone except Kryl are talking about is the sneeze.

I didn't mention it either. ;) I'll let whoever hasn't watched it yet, well, watch it.

Cuz I'm mean! No, because I hate to spoil. ;D
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"
Post by: Blurr on 2016-04-16 17:46:17
I thought it was a good episode plus *spoiler alert* Ember is cute as fuck
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"
Post by: 1234 on 2016-04-16 17:53:04
This, I agree with.
Really cute. And I can't resist cuteness. ;D
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"

Gonna watch it today. I hope it was a spray wet sneeze Rarity has always done, and they better show it.

Poor Spike is routinely handed the Idiot Ball in his episodes.  There seem to be 2 Spikes: one is a voice of reason when Twilight is stressed or acting unreasonably, the other is an arch-klutz who exists solely to generate Complications.  Only the latter tends to see the light of day in Spike episodes, so I generally approach them with trepidation.

I have not yet seen it, but I am now looking forward to the episode, if it indeed features Spike-1.  :)

The sneeze was a let down, but I am thankful we had another to catalog and the build up was great.

It was a good episode.  I really enjoyed it.

Ember was a pretty neat character. :)

Ember stole the show for me.

I wonder if we will get any fan art that is sneeze related?

With as much as we discussed this episode, and as well as it seems to be liked, it didn't draw in an audience.  Only 196,000.  One of MLP's worst in terms of viewers ever.

Post by: NostradamusTheSeer on 2016-06-16 13:31:38
So... 1)  Wouldn't Ember properly be called "Dragon Queen" or "Dragon Lady"? and   2) Why is her dad so huge and she so tiny? Either old dragons grow to be twenty times bigger than young ones, or her mother was very, very small, and just... ouch.
Title: Re: MLP:FIM - "Gauntlet of Fire"
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-06-16 14:25:46
I guess "Lord" sounds cooler?
It seems old dragons grow huge over time. Like the dragons we've seen in Season 1 and such.

Entertaining to watch them try to be dragon lord, plus Rarity sneezing, that's a bonus!

8/10.

I liked the episode, and I loved Rarity's sneeze.  But it never felt that action like it was supposed to.  I felt it was lacking.  6.

It was an alright episode.  I wasn't as good as I hoped, but it was pretty good. 7.
