Tempest Shadow - Open Up Your Eyes (Lyrics) - My Little Pony: The Movie

[@stormspirit5882]

One of my favorite parts is when Tempest says "Face it princess, friendship has failed you too." It didn't sound sarcastic. If anything, it sounded hopeless and almost sad. Tempest isn't gloating or rubbing it in Twilight's face or anything like that. She just states what she believes to be a fact. Tempest is essentially saying "Welcome to my world" or "We have similar experiences." This song gets so much more meaning after that one line because Tempest is relating to Twilight at that exact moment. Tempest almost even sounds sympathetic.

[@alyssabullock6421]

Im honestly so glad they didn't give Tempest back her horn. A big rule regarding handicapped characters is that sometimes they shouldn't need "fixing". Tempest learned that just because she had an impairment, it didn't mean she couldn't be strong and have people who love her. She's a great character who struggled, and in the end, was able to accept her scars and move on with the support of the people around her. It's very refreshing tbh. Too many movies and shows think they need to fix handicapped characters, when they're fully capable of being great without being fixed. Many people in the world aren't fortunate enough to get solutions to their disabilities. So to have characters like Tempest who CAN thrive and find acceptance without needing to get her horn back first is great.

[@thepearson9372]

I 100% agree. Too many movies "fix" they're impaired characters. It sends a bad message that something is fundamentally wrong with you if you have impairments. Instead of trying to accept your impairments, you have to "fix" it

[@KoniTheChiwa]

[@PurpleFlames87]

I love that the movie kept Tempest's horn broken, too. I know at least a few people with disabilities and I wouldn't ever want them to change. I do feel for their struggles and I wish things that seem so simple for me wouldn't be so hard for them, but I also realize that they wouldn't be the same people without their disabilities and I like them all for who they are. I'm glad in this movie, Twilight was able to get Tempest to realize that just because some ponies didn't accept her after she became disabled, that didn't mean that nopony would ever accept her.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

@Delali Kwakou Eh, she had personal justifications so I won't look at her like she's pure evil, just completely misguided and mistreated.

[@47ratsinahoodie]

@Delali Kwakou It's a decent idea. I think the only problem is that MLP:FiM and StH have never been known to share a universe and because the animals in StH are anthropomorphic, it would be a bit weird to see animals in two different ways. There'd have to be some kind of dimensional travel to kind of nullify that weirdness.

When you move onto later grades you may deal with hard times like experiencing your friends leaving you and the only real way to cope with it is to learn that being alone is the only way to survive getting through life without having friends. It also mentions how you should open your eyes that this world isn't as you thought it was like you did when you were little... love this song, so meaningful with a strong message

[@aiiiia9971]

I think you're missing the big picture. Her view is incomplete. It's also what lead her to become cruel towards others. Twilights views on friendship were also incomplete at the start as well, but she learned that not everyone can be trusted and that even the closest friendships will always be tested. The two represent different views on friendship. But they BOTH learned that while perfect relationships arent possible, truly genuine connections will stand out from the others and outlive the challenged. They will be worth the trouble in the end. It's deeply sad to me that so many people relate to Tempest's viewpoint without understanding that this isn't all there is to real life. Yes in life there isn't exactly a dues ex machina to save you from trouble, and friendship isn't a magical rainbow blast that turns bad guys into stone. Yeah we get it, that's because stories are metaphors. We write them because we have something to say Making genuine and healthy long term connections with other peoppe IS real, POSSIBLE and BEAUTIFUL. It just takes a bit of work to get there. It's so worth it Hang in there and remember to love yourself and not settle for less. The right people will come along if you let them in

I feel happy with this friendship. She was wronged, and wants revenge. She's only the villain because of how she handled it. You need to remember that this problem is RELATABLE to many people out there.

The fact that it's "friendship failed you" shows where Tempest has laid the blame, regardless of whether she has the full context of why Twilight's alone now. Tempest isn't being malicious or anything; she has sympathy for Twilight and is basically trying to give her the best advice she can for moving forward.

[@samsamsings187]

*SPOILERS AHEAD* Okay, so something that seems to be a main topic of the comments is that while Tempest declares her distrust in those around her, she trusts the Storm King. This assumption is false, however. Tempest had obviously banded with the "mighty" in her attempt to feel powerful again, and the Storm King pulled her in with the promise of her horn's return. So, technically, it was a business deal. I doubt Tempest's work with them was a permanent fix. However, after the King saw the ambition and strength she possessed, he knew what he would loose after she was given her horn. Yet the timing of his denial and him going back on his word was hideously wrong, and got him killed. TLDR; Tempest didn't trust the King,it was a shady business deal gone wrong.

Tempest is right in one thing, but wrong on another. Right: you shouldn't count on other people to be able to survive, you will become a very non-well-rounded person if you do so.

Never thought a song in a kids movie could tell so much and be so deep. Unlike other villains, especially in MLP, tempest isn’t trying to gloat or make herself sound powerful. Her voice, the lyrics, it all sounds genuine. You can see how the experience she went through hurt her both physically and emotionally, she sounds both pained but also serious. While she is wrong, she’s also right in what she’s trying to say. There will be those people who when you really need them, they’ll just leave you, and we can’t change that, she is kind of in the same place as twilight in some aspects. Both were unicorns who believed in friendship but what makes tempest different is that she never experienced TRUE friendship like twilight did

My Little Pony did very well with this. It show that people like Tempest aren't necessarily villains with evil intentions, they were victims with the mindset that they couldn't, can't, or don't need to be helped. Not only that, but they also teach that things that happen to you or said to you in your childhood forms into your mind well into adulthood. Tempest was betrayed when she stood up for her people, and since she chose to run away, that's all she ever knew.

after being backstabbed all through middle school i became unable to trust. my mind made itself a mental block preventing me from allowing myself to be vulnerable and talk about things. because i learned in middle school a brutal lesson. you can't trust anyone with your secrets and emotions. too many times did i have my secrets and feelings i entrusted to those i thought my close friend turned into weapons against me. now even if i WANT to try to have deep friendship i can't because my mind won't let me go any further than surface level and inevitably all friendships i make just drift away like an unanchored boat drifting out to sea. i learned to be content with being alone, to even enjoy it. because the alternative is just pain. i can fully relate to the cynicism tempest has. the fact is while some may get to enjoy friendship all hunky dory. there are many others who are delegated to the status of outcast, of the punching bag. too long did i wait for that one friend i could actually trust and hold onto. too many timed did i make my self vulnerable to others. eventually i gave up waiting because i got tired of being broken down over and over. having my trust thrown in my face and used against me. tired of being hurt over and over and over. maybe if i had met SOMEONE in that hell things might have turned out differently but unfortunately that didn't happen and by the time i hit high school it was too late. i gave up. was there perhaps someone i could have had a genuine friendship with in high school? who knows. if there was then it is unfortunate but my heart is already encased in stone. protecting me from being hurt like that ever again....as well as preventing me from ever having a true friend. though honestly i will take a heart encased in stone over a true friend if getting a true friend requires me go through all that torment again.

[@VenomQuill]

Magic nullifcation/magic-proof things are to be expected. Any villain worth their salt would have SOMETHING magic-proof/magic nullifying. How the hell are you supposed to gather up the gall to attack _goddesses_ if you don't at least try to nullify what makes them most powerful? If you take away their magic, you have a more even playing field--especially since Tempest has only one real magical ability. Some villains had no magic nullifying powers like King Sombra, Discord, and the Changling Queen, but they were both very skilled in magic and Discord is, in all rights, the lord of chaos. Come on. He would've been able to turn the tides on this battle _easily._ Which is why he wasn't here.

[@theexchipmunk]

Discord by any means has the powers of a Q. He can do whatever he wants. There is only very little that could stop him, like for example a super weapon specially designed by a just as powerful being to do exactly that. ;)

[@VenomQuill]

If you're talking about the orbs Tempest used to turn the princesses to stone, yeah, maybe. But what I'm saying is that he lives in another dimension, can take away the wings and horns of ponies on a whim, reverse reality, open dimensions to entirely different realities, and control chaos. Had Discord been there (Which he should've been, literally everyone was invited), this whole movie wouldn't have lasted too long. Considering he can become objects, teleport, change size, and shape-shift with his only weaknesses being the power of friendship and harmony (which ironically become strengths for him to use), I see no reason for Discord not being able to at least _rally_ them. In fact, if Discord hadn't betrayed the ponies, he'd have eradicated Tirek's entire line of plans and put him back in Tarturus. Princess Cellestia panicked when Princess Cadence was petrified, and thus scattered everyone to find help. But if Discord was there, I doubt she'd have panicked and gotten Luna to single hoofedly find an entire kingdom that vanished. But that's also the reason he's not there: his presence would've been a serious obstacle in the Storm King's plan, dramatically changing the easiest way to move along the plot. Discord would have no reason to accompany them in their quest to find the Hippogriffs, wouldn't betray Fluttershy for the Storm King, and would have been a serious obstacle when trying to capture the princesses, AAAAAAAND he would've done a great song about it, because Discord's songs are the best and this movie had its share of music numbers.

Sometimes you just have to rely on someone else. There are some things you cant do yourself and Tempest needed the Stormking to fix her horn -so she could be even more independent-. She tried to make sure that he would do as she asked by making a deal with him. If she gave him somehing he would give her something in return, right ? The problem was however that even something like that requires trust. I think this shows that you have to choose well who you trust. Just because she can't trust the Storm King doesnt mean she can't trust anyone. And just because she coudn't count on her friends as a child doesn't mean that she can't count on anyone at all.

I like how this movie portrays the overtly optimistic nature of the show. All the kind, optimistic stuff that the mane characters do, which would usually work in the show, only made things worse. And Tempest here seems to see their optimistic nature as “childish” as well. But while their philosophy is portrayed as naive, it’s not portrayed as WRONG. Because even if it caused nothing but trouble for them, the ponies touched many lives with their optimism. They inspired others with their bravery and kindness to become better people. And that’s the message of the film. Maybe optimism could be considered “childish”. Maybe it could be considered “naive”. Maybe it causes a lot of trouble for you. But you know what? It’s a hell of a lot better than just being a shitty person.

[@cassandranova6541]

You made a very remarkable statement. When you truly see the world in all its reality you will see it filled with corruption and evil. The world is unfair and unjust. People are pushed to the extreme to commit crimes to make their lives better than their miserable existence as nobody is born good or evil, They are made. The law can bend and break making the innocent be punished for crimes they did not commit and the guilty live as free as one can be. I want to change this world of ours for the better as Childish and Naive that dream could be at least I want to help Humanity and not just myself. P.S If you are religious then I am sorry, but I don't believe in God. as religion only use their Gods as a figurehead to manipulate others to do their bidding. They only divide and separate mankind more. I just wanted to make a point that even though I don't believe in mysticism and blind faith I still want to be a loving and understanding person.

But there are three differences - unlike back then Twilight didn’t have her wings or princess title, Spike stayed behind and did his best to comfort her and her brother and mentor weren’t there for her to disappoint too since Celestia was still fossilised and Shining Armor was back in the Crystal Empire on guard duties or having father daughter time with Flurry Heart.

[@tailynhudu1601]

Artemis Archer Me too and for her fearsome personality

[@Phia_shitpost]

When I'm small I just simply think Tempest is a cold-blooded villain, but when I now hear this song again, I felt that she is the one who got hurted the most. I felt so sorry for her :(

[@LamborghiniLove05]

I love Tempest and I love this song! She is my favorite pony and this is my favorite MLP song!

[@loufoster1437]

[@JacobNGames]

yep like the 7th time i heard this and i still get chills down my spine when she says "open up your eyes" for the first time in the song.

[@mirosbird]

Glitched Gaming I don't I never did

[@ilytmnt]

This song is my favourite throughout the whole movie, Tempest is stating that reality isn’t fantasy, friendships can get toxic, not often joyous. She tells Twilight to grow up because Twilight always knew that friendship can always solve their problems and that was childish. This song tells us clearly about the toxicity of reality in the real world.

Villain or not, she’s right. We start out shielded from reality so when it hits us we sit there clueless because we were lied to from the beginning

[@scourge3755]

The villains always have such catchy songs

[@Gweem13]

Went and saw this yesterday, and it was so adorable, and even emotional. Loved it, and this is definitely my favourite song from it!

[@Wolfie54545]

This song is amazing!!! I can't get enough of it, Emily's voice is so powerful and emotional, the instrumental is gorgeous, and the lyrics hit hard.
