"28 Pranks Later" is the 15th episode of season 6, My Little Pony: Friendship Is magic.
SYNOPSIS: When Rainbow Dash gets carried away with her pranks, the other ponies decide to get even.
-
Not looking forward to this. Not looking forward to the backlash.
I think I'll enjoy Rainbow getting her just desserts. About time. Can't believe I had to wait 4 seasons to get another good cathartic episode like Mare Do Well. At least, I hope it goes that direction.
-
I'm going in pretty excited. I have high hopes, unlike SOME people. ;) Lol. I want to see how they will pull this one off.
-
Perhaps a semi-continuance of "Griffon the Brush-Off (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Griffon_the_Brush_Off)". I think Fluttershy's feelings are going to get hurt by a prank... and, lo, Flutterbrat (http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/flutterrage-flutterbitch) will rise. (demonic laughter)
-
We will see how this one goes. :)
-
Well, I can already tell what Leap would say about this episode. (^:
I like it tho. I just noticed the reference in the title, too.
Everything is kinda like... predictable, in a sense. Like, it's one of those episodes where you already know what's gonna happen before you finish it.
Aside from that though, it was neat. In my opinion at least.
-
Is it cathartic or will it make me mad and then never be able to post my story because I would have buried my Dash coffin?
-
Quite cathartic, if you ask me. In fact, really cathartic. ;)
This episode was pretty good.
-
Hmph.
So like, Dash torture porn? :P
-
That could've worked... :) buuut the solution they found to make Dash realize the error of her ways was already very effective. ;) "Torture porn" would've left her traumatized for life. :o
Not to mention the kids watching it.
- Mommy, what are they doing to Rainbow Dash?
- Errrrr... ask your mother. ^^'
- I am.
- Haha, you're so funny. ^^; *turns TV off*
-
Was alright
-
What I mean is like, does Dash "suffer" like she did in Mare Do Well?
God I love that episode so much.
-
Like she did in... uhhhh.. pffft.... well, yeah. Yeah, I'd say. I think you'll like it.
I think. :)
-
Hm. Good. Good.
Dash deserves to suffer.
-
I actually have a mini-fic alt ending to this.
Instead of Dash cowering in the back, she grabs a shovel thats in the barn and starts beating the crap out of them all, thinking their actual zombies.
For a quick laugh.
-
I will answer if Dash suffers right after I finish the episode.
-
Instead of Dash cowering in the back, she grabs a shovel that's in the barn and starts beating the crap out of them all, thinking they're actual zombies.
That's my ideal Scooby-Doo ending. I mean, suppose some farmer mistook the crooked land-grabber in the dopey rubber mask for a real zombie, grabbed his trusty rifle, and shot him? "Jinkies! Old Man Welker just blew a huge gaping hole in the bastard's chest!" "Well, I guess the farmer's goin' to jail, right, Scoob?" "Reah! Murder one!" "Then if there's no mystery to solve, why the hell are we here, guys?" And then everybody laughs, except, you know, the cops and the guy with the teacup-sized exit hole in his back, lying there, dead.
-
> Old Man Welker
I see what you did there. 8)
-
It was a good episode. Predictable, but it was good. One of those episodes that just goes by without much depth to it.
-
Knowing LP, She will hate this episode because of how Rainbow Dash acts and treats others.
The episode starts with Dash scaring Fluttershy, easy, right?
I think Applejack actually said it best, first time she has been useful in awhile. "Scaring Fluttershy is just lazy." - Applejack
But since Dash can't figure out anything that her friends, minus Pinkie Pie, are trying to tell her, she doesn't get the "stop doing pranks" thing. So she somehow thinks that she has to put MORE effort into her pranks... okay.
Possibly the funniest thing yet, this show actually made a fart joke. YEAH, it did it.
So after a montage of Dash making herself annoying to everyone.... the whole village practically calls upon Pinkie Pie for help to out prank Dash.
But first... Pinkie tries to reason with Dash. I am sure you can figure out how that goes. Dash stubborn? Check.
So here is where it gets goofy. I'm surprised no one brought up sick ponies. Pinkie Pie is acting sick, coughing, looking sick. Also... cookies become a drug reference.
Montage of selling cookies. Dash laughing the whole way.
Dash's prank doesn't seem to be working, so she is willing to check in pone's windows like a peeping Dash.
Episode could now be mistake for a horror film, or a Halloween episode. :)
Cookie filling becomes blood reference.
Total horror film. I like it. :) How did they get the town to agree to this?
So in the end, Dash gets a taste, or a whopping helping of her own medicine. To see her cower and squirm at the end will probably bring a smile to LP's face, but she will probably wish that Dash suffered more.
I liked the episode and will give it a 7.5/10.
-
Darn it, RD... you're so often a frickin' jerk to everyone else... so how come you're still my favorite? XD
-
I think LP will like Dash's suffering at the end, but with there was more of it. The Mane 6 gave in too easily. ;) Where was Starlight in all this?
Anyways, I enjoyed the episode and will give it a strong 7.5 out of 10 as well.
-
Oh god, alt endings.
Plz nu.
Rainbow.... Scares Fluttershy....
Fck this. Fck this episode. Not even going to watch it.
I can't watch this series anymore. I'm done.
-
....jeez
-
You really take it to heart, dontcha? ;)
"Uh, no SH!T."
-
>_>
I can't stand what they've done to Dash. She wasn't the greatest character to begin with, but now she's so unlikeable I don't even feel she deserves to have stories written about her making her cute and sneezy. This just... So killed my writing mood. I can't even.
-
:( Don't take it so personally, lol. It's a cartoon. ;)
-
I'm REE'ing into the sunset. But in all serious now.
Yes, it's a cartoon. But if a cartoon is bad, I'm not going to continue to subject myself into watching it. I've been close to not continuing to watch the show. Maybe I'm picky, but I've put up with dumb things in this series, but just this degradation of character (a character who had very little to begin with) is just unbearable for me. The past 3 episodes have just been abysmal. Along with the rest of S6. Of most of the episodes I've seen only 3 have been good to great. The rest have been meh to just painful to sit through.
I think it's proof of good writing when they make an episode I enjoy and even love to watch about a pony I hate (i.e. Rarity). Rarity episodes are enjoyable, as much as I dislike her, I like her episodes. So it's not solely that I dislike Dash that I hate these episodes. Hell, 2 of my favorite episodes are Dash episodes, those being Wonderbolts Academy and Mysterious Mare Do Well. And yes, I admit both of those have very stupid or bad elements to them. But the good vastly outshines the bad, and aren't visible until a 2nd rewatching. These episodes, the flaws are so blatantly there that I see them on the first watch through and makes me pause the episode to rant to myself about how stupid or wrong it is.
Maybe it's because I surround myself with a group of people that are very critical and are good at observing a shows and stories flaws. It's what I enjoy doing. Writing reviews, pointing out what's wrong with things and how they could be better.
I may watch this episode. My SO has bribed me into watching it, but at least I get a nice pillow out of it. I just... I feel like Rainbow Dash is ruining the show for me. I used to hate Rarity so much more, but the way she's acted and been portrayed hasn't ever made me want to stop watching the show. And I'm honestly really sad. Because this is a good show. This season has potential. And instead of utilizing their new character they've resorted to just making fun of American culture and the fanbase and fanbases in general. That isn't what the show used to be about. And I'm not trying to sound like one of those die hard original fans, I joined around the middle of S3. But I just... I can't find myself enjoying the episodes that are being released recently. Even if I try to overlook the flaws, they aren't particularly fun or enjoyable episodes.
To be honest, this isn't like a super sudden thing. I've been slowly not being excited about the show anymore. Around S5 I just slowed down. I didn't hunker down and wait for the episodes. I found myself not caring. When they came out I maybe gave them a watch, eventually watching them all. Even with S6 I wasn't there for the premiere and I haven't been keeping up. I just don't feel the magic anymore. I'm sorry everyone.
-
Don't be sorry. If that's how you feel about it, then... uh... then that's how you feel about it, and that's okay. After all, "to each their own". One's opinion can change over time. It's okay. ;)
-
Yeha, no need to apologize. It's what you think, and that is fine. :)
I will admit, the last two episodes have been pretty meh.
-
Mmyeah, it is true that compared to other episodes, they were a bit dumb. Antagonizing nice characters like AJ, and making RD--
O_O
I just remembered something. Back in episode "Griffon The Brush Off" (all the way back in season 1), RD wanted to play some prank on Fluttershy. Pinkie opposed to that, for obvious reasons (Shy is quite sensitive).
Now, in this episode, RD plays an even more shocking prank on Fluttershy, and this time, Pinkie doesn't see what the problem is! :o
...I don't get it. ???
-
That's my main problem with it.
RD should know better. Hell her character would know better. It makes no sense for this episode to exist in S6.
If this were a S1 or S2 episode I wouldn't have a problem. But by this point Dash's character has come so far, that it makes her behavior just.... Ugh.
-
It is also because you got a whole mash of writers who come in at different times, and lets be truthful here, most have not watched the entire show. They are not as in tune with it yet or maybe not even huge fans yet, it takes time, especially for new writers. There heart isn't into it.
-
Decent enough episode. Not sure how they got everyone to play along here. 7/10.
-
So I found this episode to be pretty meh. 6/10.
-
One of the strangest episodes in the history of MLP and it was so random at times! How did this solve Dash's problem?! Gosh, it was weird. 7.
