My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #11-12 - Atop the Fourth Wall

Welcome to Atop the Fourth Wall, where bad comics burn. In this Patreon-sponsored episode, Linkara looks at two issues of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic!

Originally released September 21st, 2017.
ORIGINAL INFO: Horses in high school… and yet it’s NOT Equestria Girls?

[@PommyDragon2525]

“The crayon delusion has convinced me. Go for it Horse!” Best line ever

[@sarafontanini7051]

what's hilarious is that they DO live in a giant crystal! Shining was right!

Alternatively it's the best way to tell you have a severe brain injury or stroke

[@zakfett92]

AHEM... "I'M MARY POPPINS, YA'LL!" ... I rest my case.

[@danstiver9135]

Seems a bit strange to have a fantasy rpg game existing in a world that is populated by fantastical creatures and magic using unicorns. Shining Armor is even a unicorn so he can use REAL magic in his everyday life. Then again, it's not that strange to imagine that ponies would have play adventures instead of real ones to avoid the dangers of, say, getting eaten by a dragon.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

It's like how the Lt. put it in the Sleepy Hollow comic book: "I watch horror movies because the scares are real, but unlike my everyday life, the horrors are fake." ~ TDG

[@thatonea-hole]

Also the "Don't knock until you try" thing is possible *FORESHADOWING?!?* #AtopTheFourthWallSecretWar #AtopTheFourthWallCivilWar

[@Bobsheaux]

"My Little Pony and Quantum Leap are in the same universe!" Ugh... why not? My Little Pony already shares a universe with the Transformers somehow... Well... there we have it. You've succeeded in making me feel empathy for The Friggin' Entity. Like Itself, I'm SO confused right now...

[@GreysonMacAllister]

Also holy shit the storyline this go round.

[@Gaia_BentosZX5]

In a way, it's almost ironic that Lord Vyce has become the very thing he sought to destroy: a paranoid being from another realm that seeks to win an endless game.

[@RAZVIELRAMOS]

Dan vs Pinkie Pie no-holds-barred 2

[@wdcain1]

I love how you handled Entity'kara. This was always my problem with Sepiroth from _Final Fantasy 7_ since he wants to become an all powerful space god but it never occurs to him how tiring space travel is. Heck, it took Cassini 20 years just to reach Saturn. If he had won, his mind would probably decayed only after a few months of isolation, reducing him to an almost animalistic state. That's probably what happened to his mother, Jenova.

[@CyberSurferXD]

Congratulations Linkara; you managed to turn an Outer God into a nihilist~ XD

[@cameronpearce5943]

The eldrich horror needs a hug.

[@Vikumax]

You know I don't follow the schedule very well. So when I thought of the end of this long long storyline...didn't expect it'd end with MLP. Don't think that's bad, just funny.

[@7Seraphem7]

Great review, and glad you liked it..mostly. As to it being right up fans alley... that is iffy, you are right there is a thing with that. The whole 80's thing, and high school and, so many things that really are not part of the show and out of place. The whole setting is just, not right and makes little sense. It's one of the issues with Katie Cook's writing, she tends to have stories she wants to tell, and will cram them into the setting whether they fit the setting or not. Buuuut, aside from that, this really is an awesome, fun comic, and one of her better works.

[@tscream80]

Anyone else notice the Beast Hunters ad on the back of the first comic issue Linkara was holding?

[@jaredohlstein7355]

I'd say that was a great ending to the SleepWalker Story, but We still have One more episode to go, not to mention Vyce is making a HUGE mistake. All in all Great review and amazing Story arc segments. It was a shame about the delay but worth it in the end

[@Awells89]

Lord Vyce needs to review a comic some day.

[@Anthintendo]

So, the Entity’s philosophy is “we are are irrelevant, but I’m less irrelevant than you are, human?” Was that intentional or an accident? The parallel to Animal Farm, I mean, the whole “some animals are more equal than others” Thing.

[@minnion2871]

Who needs cars when they have teleportation spells ponies who can fly at super sonic speeds? (My theory no cars, because the Ponies have natural abilities that have rendered them obsolete before they could be invented...)

[@kameronhall4448]

I kind of want the entity to join the cast im sure hes become a much more intersesting character after the possession id like to see what a outer gods perspective on comics looking in

[@Nazo-kage]

1:03 I'm now picturing lord Vyse doing an episode. 😂 "hello. I'm lord Vise from atop the fourth wall were bad comics burn. Today's pain in my cybernetic side is the much perplexing G3 MLP crossover with the care bears comic. Quite frankly if it wasn't a patron sponsored request to review this I would simply get in my ship, find the dimension this comic is based off of, and wipe it from existence. it would definitely be a lot more entertaining than reading this."

[@blackdemonknight]

and quite frankly with how hated G3 is I think a number of Bronys would be offering surpport to that.

[@jasonhanlan999]

i mean, gen 3 is the stuff of nightmares, its best we thanos snap that reality

[@daelen.cclark]

Is that crossover real? If not, it needs to be.

[@plucas1]

"Besides the title, is there any advantage to being royalty in this world?" They transform into alicorns, which gain the potential to develop the inherent abilities of all three races of ponies (flight, magic, and super-strength) as well as vast amounts of magic power that's literally on another plane unattainable by normal ponies..

[@keyblademasterclark]

I don't recall Twilight's power getting stronger because of her transformation though.

[@TheFormidibleDan]

"Don't knock it until you've tried it." Okay, what patreon milestone do I have to donate to for Vice to do a comic review?

[@KidSnivy69]

That NEEDS to be a thing!

[@Ashannon888]

I was thinking the exact same thing.... If Vice did a comic review I think it would be absolute gold!

[@driftercarbon]

Dueling reviews perhaps. A review to the death for the fate of all.

[@WhysoSeriousSamual]

[@MiscellaneousSoup]

I don't know a lot about MLP, but I like that the upcoming film still uses regular voice actors, mostly. Voice actors deserve more respect, they're great.

[@briansivley2001]

@@TheInkPitOx they're the ones who created the characters and their personalities so they would know them the best than famous actors (I'm looking at you The LEGO Ninjago Movie).

[@daelen.cclark]

Better still, some of the G4 voice actors played other roles in the older generations. They’ve got range.

[@justanotheranimeprofilepic]

You have no idea how much worse of a problem this would become. Half tempted to not even give voice acting a try because it was already near impossible to break in

[@CaptainJZH]

So Linkara, you gave a demi-god an existential crisis. Amusing for someone who wanted to become everything and "exist" forever as that.

[@seand7042]

Twice

[@magnusprime962]

[@warrirornunluv801]

I...I actually feel sorry for the Entity... ...I FEEL SORRY FOR THE ENTITY. ...Is...is there something wrong with me!?

[@blackdemonknight]

No I sort of felt sorry too, and I can't compreheand it. Hey Vyce can you speed up that gateway intent to destory Earth please!

[@drakeglover6373]

Are you infected too *HUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN*

[@katecastreviews4639]

Wow. That was, absolutely worth the wait. I got chills through that whole confrontation. Through everything the Entity said. It was brilliant. Also, small thing, but I really love the lighting effect of leaning over the console like that. It's a great visual. Really sets the mood. And oh my God! Don't even get me started on trying to figure out the technological advancements of Equestria. Even fans can't figure out how the industrial timeline works in this show. We'll be here all day.

[@dracocrusher]

How do horses use pencils? The answer is just don't think about it. Just... NEVER think about it.... We'll just assume this is a part of the animal takeover that kept human culture and it somehow just works and we move on!

[@zanyraccoon6361]

Griffons and Minotaurs have opposable digits. It's probably just cross-cultural contamination. Really not that hard to understand if you just give it a little thought. It's not like ponies are the only creatures in their world capable of inventing things.

[@daelen.cclark]

Add in G5, and it gets even messier.

[@TheSefirosu200x]

42 cakes? That's as many as the answer to life, the universe and everything, and that's terrible!

Damn...That was an awesome, chilling bit of storyline. Can't wait to see how this all ends... As for the review, I quite like this story in the MLP comics. A cute, funny romance about how Shining Armor started going out with Cadence, with all the trappings of a typical high school romantic comedy (and some aversions thereof). I still respect your more-or-less neutral stance on the show. =)

[@bellspeppers]

Storyline segments? You have my interest, Linkara. Lt. Monroe name drop at the beginning? Well, now you have my attention!

[@academicace]

"Don't knock it 'till you try it." Vyce review when?

[@funcoolfunfun]

I'm surprised no one has patreon'd him to review the Power Ponies issue. But I feel like it's a matter of time.

[@JennyBlaze253]

Oh, don't worry. Someday if I ever have enough money to nab a Patreon slot I'll get him to review the Power Ponies episode. Yeah, it's a bad episode, but hey it was what got me into the show. ...well, either that or get him to review the first four episodes of Kamen Rider W.

[@christiancrusader9374]

tanasaky what retcons?

[@widdershins3785]

I really relate to the Entity. I'm kind of disappointed Missing Number didn't come back having forced itself into a mortal being with no way back or powers or a body or history of its own (having taken Linkara's) yet retaining fuzzy memories of once having been Like Unto a God. So much potential Pathos. So much shtick!

[@MrFForger]

My headcanon as to why Linkara reviews comics while dealing with everything in the storyline is that a review basically functions as his recharge (like Green Lantern's) for his reviewer and/other powers. Because why else should he pause the doom of reality to review ponies?

[@MrGamernova]

This needs to be Lore.

[@ethanedwards3357]

Canonically, he still has to pay rent, and that's why he does the reviews.

[@cherry-cj9iq]

...that "dropping pig blood on someone" plan… oh god was that a Carrie reference or am I losing it Edit: Linkara made the joke seconds later. My predictions are never off huh Edit 2: …I'm more sad than anything else for the Entity. Goddamn. What a great way to send off a villain like this.

It would seem Vyce has the same problem as The Entity's fragment, they're both afraid of the end.

[@ShanaReviews]

Given what happens at the end of the sleepwalker arc, I can't help but imagine that Vyce is looking through the hologram room of Comicron 2 and reading the virtual comics that were stored there and is actually taking Linkara's advice to make reviews of them to pass the time

[@7Seraphem7]

"Don't knock it till you try it" ..... okay not even at the review yet (been so looking forward to this!) and already... DO WANT! Vyce doing a review!? All the YES!

[@minervaalexia6074]

Amusingly, there actually is a plot hole in this: Twilight is shocked by Shining and Cadance ending up together, but in here she helps it come about. But hey, these are all non canon anyways

[@B0tAcH1]

well... they did say they embellish the story and mostly made up of memory.

[@Carewolf]

She didn't know they were getting married, not that they weren't dating, or were still dating.

[@DavyEddyBenny]

Another error would be in the background, where we can see an Author of the Year Award to Twilight Velvet for Daring Do, and we all know how he revelation of the author in the series went...

[@shadowspider9]

What do you mean come to study? Twilight and Shinning were born and raised in Canterlot. All it meas is her parents tried to get her enrolled in the local private elementary school I'd say the biggest plot hole is that by high school Shining should probably already be in the academy.

[@shadowspider9]

The basic rule of the comic is is that it is canon until the show directly contradicts it. So something like the Queen Crysalis arch is non-canon because the show directly contradicts it. Where as something like the recent Spike flashback issue is canon and likely will remain canon because we'll probably never get an episode that goes into who raised Spike.

[@FanOfMostEverything]

Ponies and eldritch gods. Two great tastes that go surprisingly well together. And believe me, those gripes are far from the only questions I have about those comics. Still, this is definitely one of the better MLP comic storylines out there.

[@kaicreech7336]

I really surprised Vyce isn't a reviewer. I figured he review evil plans for world domination and most evil empires, and gave tips for thwarting heroes. I am somewhat disappointed that this hypothetical show isn't real.

[@Fanatic_Foremem]

But Vyce isn't a villian, he's a champion, at the very least he thinks so. So him gvng tips to villians would kindof be out of character.

[@goodpeople25]

NekoVira Well some of the "Evil" could be from our/hypothetical audiences' perspective. I think a lot of the methods wouldn't be seen as necessarily evil by him that could give him a groundwork, that the empires would most often be run by evil could be part of what he critiques plus he still has plenty to work with on the subject of dealing with opposed champions.

[@blackdemonknight]

NekoVira He was the champion of his universe and it's protector which was destroyed by the Entity, when his attempts to warn other universes failed he took them over only to protect them from the Entity's grasp, he has been in the monsters game for so long it has consumed who he once was but from what I seen lately 90's Kid might have managed to get some of Vyce's old self out and maybe that can help make Vyce stand down.

[@thewalrusclown]

OH NO, don't worry, the analysis video section of the fandom overthinks everything all the time, and being the star trek fan you are I'm surprised that no one has patreon requested you to do a review of of the season 2 opener, because John De Lancey reprises his role as Q......I mean voices Discord

You mean the one about the race of alicorns pretending to be earth ponies and the Cantorprise goes against Starherd order to protect them from the invading changelings who were once alicorns themselves?

[@GabyGeorge1996]

Brendan Eichler I'm just wondering if Discord (after being "reformed") ever considered suing the creative staff behind Star Trot: The Next Generation for using his likeness without paying royalties. I personally loved the episodes featuring The Draconequus Continuum.

Edited this to add still watching so expect afew more comments if needed Myself being a brony can tell you this Hasbro goes by the ever beloved ''its magic we don't have to explain it '' on the things none Unicorns and None Alicorns do . That and they love to use a seemingly long dead Unicorn known as 'Starswirl the bearded '' as a plot device . So you just saying though we have had a canon thing about some magic field thing with the beings without horns

[@lloydlandrum3040]

Yeah but they also have had a canon thing about a magic field thing to interact with things that you should needs fingers for when they don't use there mouths. If I recall right that was a comic thing but I may be misremember the source for the magic field thing as there is varies supplementary things out there and then add the panels giving info on things that isn't mentioned in either yet

[@dracocrusher]

I have to wonder... is Vyce also possessed by an outer god of some kind whose targeting the others to justify their own existence? Because I might just be reading too deeply into his ironic "game" line, but, honestly, it would make a lot of sense considering how he's apparently battled these things before.

[@ghidorah15]

Or maybe, in his endless quest to destroy the Entity, to the point of becoming living data like it, he has completely lost his grip on sanity.

[@NarwhalEntertainment]

I think Vyce as succumbed to the old saying "Battle not Monsters lest you become a monster".

[@RotaAbyssian]

I think it's more of a mirror to 'M 's (because that's the other name for missingno and this entity described itself as being different) attitude to the game being over. Vyce has dedicated untold years of his life and his organic body to destroying this ONE THING, and someone else just beat it TWICE. It would cause obsession of biblical proportions, such that he would probably deny to his dying day that the entity is destroyed even if he killed him by his own hand. That kind of obsession leads to TREMENDOUS paranoia to the point of self-destruction (which, let's be honest, eschewing your entire body and leaving it to rot just so you can continue your obsession is pretty self-destructive)

[@blackdemonknight]

Maybe but I feels it kind undos all his character development I feel.

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

It kinda looks like it. There are clear parallels between Entity!Linkara "It is a game that I'm going to win!" and Vyce's "The game is over, Lord Vyce wins!"

I can see this ending two, maybe three ways: Option A-- Linkara calls out Vyce for being an idiot but does try and help him get over the fact that Vyce failed to destroy the entity once and for all. Option B-- Linkara's buds team up to kick ass while Linkara tries to hack the satellites and close the portal, and THEN Call out Lord Vyce for being an idiot. Option C, the option least likely to happen in any context- An Australian Green Goblin with a nice looking cane just pops into Comicron One, KO's Vyce with a good hit on the head, says "You're Welcome!" and pops out after using a bit of magic to turn Vyce's clothes pink and white while heading out the door and whistling innocently. The heroes are momentarily confused, but they still manage to save the day.

Auragongal. you know would it be interesting if since the entity goes in a peaceful way Lord vyce dose not

[@js-uk8rm]

Now that I've watched the rest of the episode, I have two things to say.1. Is it wrong that I kinda feel bad for the Entity?2. I knew Vyce would screw this up SOMEHOW.

i would pay good money to see lord vyse review something

1 word: patreon

[@blackdemonknight]

Several Words:- You have to get on the amount that allows you to suggest a review and those spots fill up fast. Hopefully after this episode more fans are eager for Vyce to do a review and hopefully next episode doesn't end up killing him off as I don't want that we had some intersting character development with him it just seems a waste to have him regres back to what he was.

I wonder if Discord plays a Q-like role in Star Trot: The Next Generation?

[@FanZ2626]

It seems to me like Linkara was flirting with disaster when trying to comfort the distressed entity. When he said "at least have a good run before it ends," I was half expecting it to respond, "You know, you're right; I should at least finish assimilating this dimension and all the rest of existence like I'd planned before I let myself die. And hey, maybe I'll find the answers I'm looking for along the way there!" That's the only real problem with how the entity was defeated the first time, too; it had no real reason to give in to existential dread BEFORE its journey of assimilating all of reality was complete.

8:08 Spoony awakens with a shriek, drenched in cold sweat the lingering sensation of fear and rage still fresh in his mind but he knows not why.

Your knowledge of the land shall be great

[@TheOldKing1998]

Linkara, we all know you screwed the pooch on making the don't knock it till you try it. The fans won't stop hounding you to make a Lord vice episode.

[@taekinuru2]

“until you try it” “try it” “try” “HELLO! And this is Lord Vyce, atop Comicron1, and today we’re reviewing... a Spice girls comic. Really, this is a thing?”

[@ArthurRex131]

You know, it's episodes like these that really showcase how good an actor Lewis is. Playing so many parts that are so distinctive in personality is exhausting and he does it so well.

[@RaphBlade7]

Linkara suggesting Lord Vice should try reviewing just makes me imagine him doing a show where he reviews his various conquests (civilizations, their culture, mythology, conquered worlds, champions, & monsters he has defeated, subjugated, or slain)!

[@darthgriff3007]

I would have personally gone with a Charisma roll but hey that's just me

[@fudgegorilla]

This is...early. Or is it late?

[@DigiRangerScott]

Mike Dubo On the bright side, it has zero Nazis

[@Jacobjinglepocket]

A reviewer is neither late nor early, but arrives precisely when he means to.

[@Little_Schach]

+Scott Sandler Maybe I'm just not looking, but I've yet to find any place that is pro Nazi. And I hope to keep it that way.

[@AT4W]

I have. It's depressing.

[@AT4W]

Late. Announced that this and the next episode will be late mostly due to effects shots, although this next one will also be late since I'm heading out of town to help film Brad Jones' next movie. =)

[@masterfulmelon]

Loved that entire episode, definitely worth the wait
