^ sorry, Wisdom, had to "spoiler" your post. Most of us prefer to wait and watch the episode when it airs before learning anything about it.

Not reading the spoiler, but I am hoping it's good. :)

lol I never watched it, just did my research for it. I don't know how it's a spoiler if I didn't even give away anything of what happened. I just mentioned that , nothing more. I thought you would've like to know, but I guess I always say something not good enough. I won't say anything as I haven't in a long long long while.

Even then, 3P, people might want to watch the episode themselves and be surprised, even if it's that kind of information. (I wasn't trying to suggest you watched it, but that's irrelevant.) Please don't take it so badly. :(

He didn't mean anything bad by it. Just playing it safe, P3. :) Don't worry, it wasn't personal.

So today supposedly the episode aired? I'm confused. Am I missing something? I see no reference to them airing today other then Wikipedia.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Darrin on 2018-08-03 15:43:38
These topics may have to be fixed as it seems it is the Australia premier dates that showed up on Wikipedia for some reason. It is getting everyone confused, even Equestria Daily screwed up.
But the US premier is supposedly on Saturday August 4th.

THE SNEEZES WERE GOOD if we could have seen them and heard them better.

So we will follow Starlight Glimmer leading EVERYPONE.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:12:04
Starlight Glimmer's pretty intense and power hungry. She isn't perfect (but who is?)
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:13:36
Uh oh. Discord's gonna cause some trouble.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:14:50
Oh no, stay out of this Discord. Don't make it so hard for Starlight and Spike.

Wow. Don't make Starlight mad.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:19:02
Just have to hope she can solve all these problems before the others come back.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:20:09
And Discord's back to causing discord.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:20:43
You got to make peace with this guy somehow.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:21:02
That's good! He accepted.... wait, your letting him co-lead? He doesn't deserve that?!!?!?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:21:16
And the Mane 6 arrive, just after he cleans it all. Perfect.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Soda on 2018-08-04 20:24:09
As for the episode, I liked it. If I could give it a 7.5 out of 10 I would, but I can't. So the episode gets a solid 8. I don't feel Starlight should have offered him a co-leadership position after he acted so child-like and foolishly. Discord didn't deserve that. It's like giving a child candy who cried all day. But I still liked the episode a good amount. I loved the Smolder sneezes and the DESTROYING Discord scene was awesome. He like melted in her blast of fury! I like Starlight as a character and how she isn't perfect in anyway, but tries at least. In many ways, she may be the most relatable character, whether people want to admit it or not.

7/10. It was an better the mediocre episode. I liked it, but Discord made me mad how he was acting. He didn't deserve a happy ending for being such a child. But I guess thats his nature. The sneezes were good!
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: ✨proponypal✨ on 2018-08-06 07:04:54
I give it 5/10, it's not a good plot, plus it's boring.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: 1234 on 2018-08-07 13:30:27
Ehh... I didn't exactly think it was the best episode, so to speak. Discord's antics kinda ruined it for me.
the sneezes were cool tho
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: FoxTail on 2018-08-07 14:23:38
Wasn't that great but certainly not the worst. I think Discord ruined it for the most part. Would have liked to have seen Starlight be able to run the school without Discdork ruining things. 7/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: Anyponedrawn on 2018-08-09 08:23:28
I'm giving it a 6/10. Discord really ruined the flavor of this episode. He was too.... childish. I mean he was in character, but even he should see he was harming and not helping... I would hope.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "A Matter of Principals"
Post by: RainySunshine on 2018-08-10 16:36:06
I didn't think it was that bad of an episode. Discord annoyed me how he was acting, but I overall thought it was enjoyable.
7/10.

Post by: Kiwi on 2018-09-16 12:23:34
Didn't find this a very good episode. It could have been good, but Discord's behavior ruined to overall for me. I like seeing Starlight's flaws don't change. It's who she is.
