Post by: Silverwing on 2016-09-30 12:40:14: I wonder if they will use that trope of when each character tells their story, the art style changes....

I doubt they will though since they don't want to create new FLASH rigs...

Post by: Kyrl on 2016-09-30 15:51:39: They might. At the bare minimum I hope when AJ tells her story, the others all have southern accents.

Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-01 16:32:52: Cliche over-used plot mechanism alert! But did MLP do a better job at it? Find out.

Best part of the episode was seeing some old gags with Rarity being used again such as ice cream gallons and a fainting chair. Also some of the best animation this series has done was done on scenes with the ship entering a storm, watching a 3D modeled boat move around, great waves and cloud movement, some really good stuff. I step up for this series and it made me wonder how good the film could do doing scenes as smoothly as that, but a hundred times better and more advanced even. Beautiful new scenery and what an awesome looking harbor town they live near. I would like a desktop of that!

The plot was good enough. It wasn't by far the worst not the best, and it was nice seeing Twilight have to think again. One could say the plot was just retelling the same 2 minute story over and over, and stretching it out, but it was varied enough and just fine for the application it was in. The ending was.... the weakest part. It all concluded too hunky dory and maybe a bit too perfect with Twilight figuring some far fetched aspects out so well.

Overall it was a decent enough episode with some great high points in scenery and animation.

I give this episode a 6/10.

Post by: Soda on 2016-10-01 20:58:52: 7/10. I have to agree with Rainy above. He said it pretty good, and he was right about the cool animation with the storm and the harbor town looked really neat.

Post by: Blurr on 2016-10-01 21:12:44: An idea from Smiles to post episode reactions here. XD

(Editing was a bit off on this one. Video in the corner was a second ahead of the noise coming from my computer.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Soda on 2016-10-01 21:16:47: Nice improvement though to have the episode there with you. Haven't watched it yet. Maybe I should watch it as you react, lol.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Silverwing on 2016-10-01 21:26:38: Unapologetic and cross dressing.

Watched the episode and I thought it was decent. 5/10. It was alright.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-01 22:27:30: I love how ya'll are giving it 5/10 and 6/10 and still giving its a "it was good" or "alright". Like what haha. Bad grade but still good? You confuse me sometimes.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Soda on 2016-10-01 22:36:40: It can be good, and still get a 6. That is a solid D. Lol! Some things were good, but other things were not. Silver seemed the most non-confusing, and Rainy too.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Blurr on 2016-10-01 22:45:14: I give it a 7
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: 1234 on 2016-10-02 08:27:56: I give it a 7 too. :)

I liked how Spike was trying to get more involved in this episode. :D
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-02 18:39:49: Spikes involvement was good and it was a fun episode. Harmless, but geez, it opened up a greater question. What if the Mane 6 weren't friends and got mad at each other? I guess the pone of honesty lies too? Hmmm.

6/10.

Post by: Rainberry on 2016-10-02 22:44:13: I did watch your vid the other day, Blurr! Thank you for posting it, and you had some funny reactions.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-10-04 22:31:08: Honestly, this episode was crap. It's too bad, because I did like the animation in the storm like many of you brought up. But this is such a re0used plot device, it gets old. I don't like how these intelligent pones all got mad enough at each other to break up. They KNOW better then that.

3/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-04 22:53:24: Wow. Super inclined to skip this one as well.

Wow. Super inclined to skip this one as well.

I probably would if you like skipping episodes. But I would say watch some of the cool animation for some storm scenes. It was pretty cool if you like animation.

Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-04 22:59:11: Ehhhhhhhh. I don't want to have more fuel to make me lose faith in this series. I was nearly done after Carts before the Ponies because of how stupid everything about it was.

That was a dumb episode.

You still gave it a 6.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-04 23:02:06: It was a missed opportunity. I mainly said it was cool because it introduced us to cars, had some good animation, but the episode itself was decent at best. I gave it a D. I wouldn't say a D is a good score.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-10-04 23:03:41: Fair enough.

It's just when I see a 6, I think that is still a decent score.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: MasterXtreme on 2016-10-04 23:04:02: Just like how I summed it up. "Decent." 6. D letter grade.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-10-04 23:04:14: Okay, you are right.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-04 23:05:03: I thought it was garbage. It was extremely painful to sit through. Just watching characters be bastardized in the worst ways. It was like 2/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Wolfwood on 2016-10-04 23:08:22: Did I not leave a review for it? Oh.... I should.

Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: RainySunshine on 2016-10-05 12:26:13: Not my blandness. We need edgy.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Death Blossom on 2016-10-05 13:26:56: Pfff. Wolfwood isn't exactly edgy. When he is I'm pretty sure it's on purpose. But I like having someone who is like, critical and not always like "it's nice". It makes me feel like less of the token asshole. Plus it's nice to see some sharing of opinions ^^
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Kiwi on 2017-10-22 17:11:22: I liked the ocean setting... not sure how they had an ocean in Ponyville... but the animation was good. Sadly the episode was very boring and done a bajillion times by other shows better. So I can't recommend this one. 5/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: Silverwing on 2017-10-22 20:38:40: This was a pretty poor episode in my opinion. I didn't find it very good. Maybe below average. 4/10.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View)"
Post by: FoxTail on 2017-10-25 15:26:19: I didn't think it was wholly as bad as everyone else, but it certainly wasn't great. It is a super re-used plot that appears n everything now days. So it lost it's luster there. But it wasn't horrid and the scenery was nice. 6/10.
