Ace Analyst & Thespio: Princess Spike Review/Analysis

[@jazzykingjack2846]

7:10 uh..... Spike just straight up sniped that bird! How did Hasbro not see this and I don't think Fluttershy's going to like this.

[@lightning-bliss]

Thank you someone else agrees with me the Princesses should have shared in the responsiblity of this event!!! COME ON LUNA, CELESTIA, CADENCE COME ON COMMON SENSE HELP TWILIGHT OUT!!!!

[@13zeldafan]

I agree with you

[@gutsmasterson2488]

+Lightning Bliss same here, dear sun butt i hope season 6 has something for Spike

[@Speeddemon105]

+Lightning Bliss I'm honestly more angry with the delegates. They have to whine and complain to Twilight about EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM that comes up and have no self initiative or common sense to fix it themselves. Who in the world let THEM be the represenatives?!

[@crazyluigi6664]

+Speeddemon105 I'm on both your side and Lightning Bliss' side with the problems! It's bad enough that it seemed to be primarily focused on Twilight Sparkle alone, but the way the delegates themselves acted throughout this entire episode was just frustrating beyond all repair! Combine that with that shit with the Dragonsneeze Trees (Jesus, why use such a contrivance as your go-to from bad to worse scenario when you could have just as easily said a flower like a rose or a tulip or something else like that would make him allergic just fine instead?) and the ending that pretty much shoots its message in its own kneecap, and it's easily my worst episode of the show yet!

[@Speeddemon105]

+Crazy Luigi The ironic thing there is that Spike is the best part of the episode to me. The problem is how most of the other characters are portrayed.

[@robertthechannel1799]

17:06 ORCHARD BLOSSOM YOU ARE NOT!

[@AnYEntertainment]

Nice one. Also quiet impressive editing :) So how does it work?- Master code is always defending an episode and the "guest" is the critical one?

[@MasterCodeAceAnalyst]

+AnY Entertainment Though I tend to be on defense side a little more, there are many times when I am on the side of prosecution (dislike). Like with my other collab with Voice of Reason, he and I pretty much destroyed the Fiendship is Magic #3 comic. Regardless of any side I'm on, I tend to be very critical, but also understanding the opposite side of an argument.

[@justincarawan-carawanco.pu1639]

I agree with Thespio 100%. What were the writers thinking?

[@MarcMagma]

Great review and THESE GUARDS LOOK SO COOL!! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD MOMENT TO MAKE THEM USEFUL!! JUST ONE TIME BY PROTECTING A PRINCESS AKA *DOING THERE FREAKING JOB*!!!

[@sethmoss8671]

I'm going to have to agree with Thespio that it's not a minor problem. Sure the townsponies have been idiots for the sake of the plot many episodes before, but you'd think that this episode would avoid this problem due to the townsponies there being representatives of their home cities. Fancy Pants though, I think you guys need to give him a break in this episode. You're saying that just because Fancy Pants is a cool and reasonable means he can't be angry. The whole castle was a total mess and he was unaware that Twilight's sleeping and everypony keeps telling him that it was on Twilight's orders. He may not be elitist but even he can't be the perfect, flawless, nothing negative guy the fandom wants to see him as.

[@magicnote2103]

2:03 Awwww! InkRose and Firebrand! I still ship it! 💖💖

[@siraran2077]

I think the only reason why the dragon sneeze trees are there is just to make Spike sneeze on the gem statue and make it collapse.

[@crazyluigi6664]

13:14-14:15 Thank God I'm not the only one that has those kinds of thoughts at hand here!

[@ZoeBlacktail]

And Now our dear Master Code have got another stalion to hate than T.K.(ToonKritick). LOL.....

[@Leostar-Regalius]

i forgot this was when tk was around, guess technically he can be counted as "dead" now, at least the pony is

[@RaulDiaz-mp8ms]

That attorneys badge reference got me right in the childhood, nice.

[@Stormrider019]

I gotta Say, that design for Thespio definitely works.

[@Torterra1324]

awesome review, although this is still one of my least favorite episodes of season 5, don't even get me started on Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep.

[@hmasterchaos8700]

I like the Phoenix wright style

[@ArchShades]

10:20 That sound was from the ed edd n eddy episode when double D was tired as heck that he spouted random words! and yikes Thespio since when did you sound like a actual attorney!? O_O

[@JMM777-td6nk]

Didn't he get seen in a Law and Order episode as a cameo before? This might not explain anything but just saying.

[@TARDISFanMan]

I wish Spike grew some balls (We all know the joke I could make there, but I'm not going to do it) and just told everyone more strongly why they needed to stop what they were doing. Still, good episode, good moral, and I'm glad Spike was helpful.

[@shinjojin]

Sorry Ace, but I'm with Thespio on this one. I too, find the episode to be very meh because of most of the reasons he stated and explained in this review. Regardless, Fantastic job to the both of you! ;)

[@Tyandaga]

Great review, this was a lot of fun to watch! :3

[@v1ct0r1n01]

im trying to represent some of the members of the analisist community with the elements of harmony and so far this is what i got: Elements of Laughter: Silver Quill and KP Elements of Kindness: Dr. Wolf and Ink Rose Elements of Loyalty: Commander Fire Brand and Key Frame Elements of Generosity: Thespio and ??? Elements of Honesty: Finn the pony and Eliyora Elements of Magic: ??? and Lightning Bliss Any ideas for the missing spots?

[@NewController01]

1:11 was that a Red Dwarf reference? ...to finish the quote...."There's always some excuse, isn't there?"

[@Possum_Prime]

Cool Phoenix wright sorta parody. It's fueling my obsession from a video

[@grekoy]

Is anyone goanna help Robin get out of that space frozen prison? Anybody?Yes Thespio. Tear this episode to shreds. (cue evil laugh)

[@sonicgen20]

I'm with Thespio on this one, I didn't like this episode. But it wasn't the worst episode of the season atleast, no that would be Neal's second episode, What about Discord.

[@jonieroo6606]

+awesometacular I have to disagree with you there. Rarity investigates and made in manehatten both tie for worst place due to fan pandering and missed opportunities.

[@sonicgen20]

Jonah Smith I actually did enjoy Rarity Investigates in spite of some of its predictability, but Made in Manehatten was pretty boring.

[@jonieroo6606]

No my main problem is that once again we never see the orange family. I was hoping to see applejack reminisce on her old time in manehatten or see some of the old traits she required but no we had to get something from coco because she's cute. Heck if they added Suri it still would have been an improvement. I don't mind rarity investigates although they missed a perfect time to bring back lightning dust.

[@MsAnimeraven]

i agree

[@才王]

Honestly I agree for the most part except for spike saving crystal empire. Spike didn't even "save" the crystal empire it's mostly cadence or twilight. Spike fall and nearly destroyed the crystal heart if it wasn't for cadence the crystal heart would've been in sombra's hand and the crystal empire would probably be doomed

[@obsidianshard9822]

"It thespio vs berry big circus all over again!!!" I want to see that😐 Is that bad?

[@revaslatts8011]

His reaction was hilarious!

[@joethelion8998]

12:51 *GASP!!!!* IT'S DR. INSANO!!!!!!! SOMBODY CALL LINKARA!!!!

[@Speeddemon105]

+Joe the Lion Loved that reference.

[@phantomdragon3893]

Joe the Lion because science of course

[@musleblasttheultimategamer4168]

Which episode was that clip from?

[@Hewylewis]

I would like to do an analysis with you, if that's okay?

[@JoshF183]

Might not be a brony, but this was definitely a great way to end my Saturday night. ❤️

[@RosieSievers]

That was funny and impressive ^^ Great job guys ^^

[@sketchmedia1520]

Holy crap Thespio was great in this!! So we're you Mastercode!

[@daggerthedragon1582]

Lmao. The Treason joke was about 5 years early, but it SLAPS now.

[@blaa6]

Did I mention how jealous I am of you guys in the Rift Cafe?

[@shadow_shine3578]

2:19 I break down laughing at the multitude master codes

[@Shayma98]

Dragonsneeze Trees ~ Unobtainium. Another utilitarian name.

[@ezekielhudson5769]

Thespis is a power full unicorn for teleporting so far

[@lorischulte6469]

I call this a secret of my experience because he like a dragon

[@robertwho50]

Quick question master code where exactly is your ship?

[@somerandomginger9938]

Lol the FireRose/InkBrand shipping in the background of that scene XD

[@magicnote2103]

I saw it too!

[@yoshifan3077]

4:07 that's not sea swirl that's Amethyst just saying

[@obsidianshard9822]

Judge we need a retrial the footage HAS BEN TAMPERD WITH!!!

[@sawyerpatton2932]

Did Spike kill a bird with Little Macintosh? Speaking of, I don't suppose that you'll ever review/analysis in/famous like Fallout: Equestria or Foal of the Forest will you?

[@LazyPressit]

thank you doctor sic. 12:51

[@BronyNumber4096]

ughhhhh... phugch this episode. And phugch Neal Dusedau for _inflicting_ us with this episode!

[@Super_NovaXD]

Hold up is that shooting scene real I haven’t seen this episode yet because it was taken off Netflix… is… is that real which parts of it are real… someone please tell me…

[@יובלקונסקר]

love fancy pants

[@Mermain123]

so does this mean you now have a new rival?

[@MelonTartVA]

Seeing Toon in this hurts....

[@melodysoundy7627]

Agreed 👍 I came back to the community and this news

[@יובלקונסקר]

love fancy pants voice

[@Springtime562]

12:26 yeah i could manipulate people Especially my dad. But the worst i did was get a free lunch or a free video game

[@soundyfamily6001]

why do you hate toon so much let it go?

[@bluewind7386]

Wow The rift is a dangerous trend lightly face palm

[@sytherwusky]

2:04 this aged poorly

[@thaddeusr.3967]

This is a good episode. There are several moments that horrible. Although the episode as a whole is good. I also like Spike.

[@thunderflare59]

Come on, Thespio. Its a Constitutional monarchy, so its cool to tell royalty when they're in the wrong.

[@wishingstar8701]

lol silver quills in the back xD

[@diamondz4057]

0:35 hehe I think that reaction is us all nowadays. I cannot be the first person to wish Zak went to Hell already. Also 2:05 oh we wish that bit was real, and suck. Would be really nice if we had one less pice of trash out there.

[@tomwilliams9116]

2:22 😂😂😂

[@bashparty8429]

I agree with Thespio why dump that responsibility only on spike when the could’ve have one of the princesses to help

[@NelsonDemifur]

Worst. Spike. Episode

[@crazyluigi6664]

+Nelson Demifur I'd say more along the lines of worst episode period!

[@NelsonDemifur]

Crazy Luigi​ oh its definitely that too

[@MelonTartVA]

I think Spike at Your Service is the worst. But this is a close second.

[@spideyviewer327]

17:26

[@spideyviewer327]

8:42

[@funnyandoriginalusername9073]

you have a tendency to kidnap ponies a lot don't you?

[@andlar05]

Ace Attorney XD

[@Leostar-Regalius]

why does thespio sound so nasally? it sounds like he's sick

[@MasterCodeAceAnalyst]

I remember he told me he actually did come off a cold when he recorded his lines.
