Cozy's motivations as a villian totally make sense in MLP universe. Here, friendship is LITERALLY magic. The most powerful magic of them all, in fact; stone-turning, banishing, exploding... Nothing stands a chance against it! So no wonder Cozy wants it - the first time she appeared she described the Element of Magic as "Power". Something she clearly wants the most.

Wait.... She did? O.o ....... Uh.... No o.o She calls it ''Control'' .... Though that's pretty close too XD Checkhovs gun maybe? XD Though.... The way she reacts when Ms. Cake ends up using the sprinkles together does seem like she was REALLY close to snapping out of her innocent persona XD Her voice seems to be the easiest thing to notice changing...

Cozy is delusional. Friendship is indeed powerful, but that's not how the magic works. She openly claims that she doesn't need Kindness or Loyalty in Friendship. What kind of friendship is that? A friendship where you don't even care about your friend is a hollow one at best, and therefore has no magic behind it, both literally and metaphorically. Her perspective of friendship is one that simply doesn't work or function.

Cozy is a dyed in the wool sociopath. She has all the classical textbook markers of sociopathy. There was even a Silence of the Lambs reference from Tirek, further reinforcing that theme of socipathy in the episodes. It's just... so dark. Almost *too* dark a topic, but they handled it so well. I never thought I'd see the day where there was a villain in MLP quite as manipulative and sinister as Cozy.

Cozy Glow despite just being a filly, makes Sunset, Starlight, Trixie, and even Chrysalis at their worst moments from the show and or movies, actually look mentally stable if not nice.....at least when compared to Cozy. :edit: And personally I found Tartarus really boring, in both design and the prisoners kept there. I wish they would of actually had some prisoners other then Tirek be other kinds of unique creatures and species. And not just random wild life that's been shown to live around Equestria.

Well, while this finale introduced a lot of world building and an unique villain, I can't help but have a few questions that comes with it: 1) Who are Cozy Glow's parrents? Are they okay with their child being locked up together with other monsters? And what kind of parental methords they used to creatre a world-conquering manipulator in form of such a young pegasus? 2) I find it odd that from all villains, they went so hard on a child. Chrysalis, she tried to take over a nation twice, and almost succeded both times, yet no one bothered to capture her and lock her away, despite the fact that she was outnumbered and could be easy restrained. Starlight who almost destroyed the world with time-travel was forgiven and even got posion as Twilight's assistant. Nightmare Moon was cured from corruption and Discord was reformed. Yet a young child was locked away in Tartarus. I really question why Cozy Glow received way harsher punishment while Queen Chrysalis was allowed to escape. 3) Will Cozy's parrents will ever be mentioned? More or less accused of terrible parenting which nearly caused magic from Equestira to vanish? Or will the MLP staff act as if they never existed to begin with. So yeah, while this finale was certainly unique for so many reasons, it at the same time make me scrach my head about ponies' morality. Why they are so fine with allowing a manipulator who can discuise herself escape free to plan her revenge, but a kid gets a full prison treatement. The fact that a kid was able to create a scenario where entire Equestira would lose their magic and surrender to Cozy also speak very poorly of this incompetent nation.

Firstly, Chrysallis has been locked away before, and escaped twice in the official IDW comics... as far as we know. The reason she and the Changelings had holes and mangled bodies in the first place was because Celestia lost her coold and temporarily reverted to Daybreaker, shredding their bodies with her sun magic. She stopped in time to prevent killing them, or realized what she was doing and stopped, and had them imprisoned in a volcano guarded by a dragon. The second time was when she was defeated by Twilight the second time (the first IDW story) and manipulated Twilight into giving her a chance in order to unlock the door. Secondly, it is great to see non-creature/non-unicorn villains. I still believe there needs to be an Earth Pony Villain: one who feels unicorns get away with too much or has a strong distrust of magic itself, believing the world would be better off without it - the strongest survive? Perhaps a new Mighty Helm can be founded, one that holds all magic accountable and fight for any seen oppression against Earth Ponies and non-magical creatures. What about Earth Pony Magic? The Pegasi didn't loose their flying magic and Earth Ponies didn't lose theirs. They could prove to succeed where normal magic can't as they are so unexplored. Plus, it would be fun to see Twilight try to embrace her inner Earth Pony Magic as an Allicorn. Unicorn and Pegasus training are checked off for her and she could benefit from having AJ train her like Rainbow Dash did; AJ did keep a cool head during this magic-drain and provided support for Twi ... like she does in a lot of episodes. WE NEED A TWI/AJ EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1) Once a pony gets their cutiemark (and/or is developed enough to have foals of their own); they are considered free legal citizens [their parents can not be forced to take any "punishment" for their poor choices]. -> This makes sense given the Post-Medieval "Gaslamp Fantasy" setting of Equestria. 2) Chrysalis was ALLOWED to escape, as the alternative she implied by her own choice was to be killed (taking alongside with her SOME of the ones present). Starlight "did nothing wrong" (in this REALM). If Celestia is not sending "help" to the Equestria Girls World (after she was "properly informed" about the use of very dangerous memory erasing Equestrian Magic); then she would also not care about "other reality problems" [specially since those living there were not even aware of "this Starlight" being the responsable for it]. -> Hence no need to "punish" Starlight since there will be no consequences for allowing her to be free (while there MAY be rumors "about ruthless Celestia" if a normal pony is "put in prison" for "no good reason"). Nightmare Moon was corrupted by some dark, old ancient magic she "pulled from the night" [most likely coming actually from the dreamworld, where "Celestia never had any power" to emulate it and get to her same powerlevel]. -> Then the Elements of Harmony just "restored" the original Luna to normalcy... something that is IMPOSSIBLE for Cozy Glow (who is already in her "True Form"); without reducing her to a mindless newborn [not much different than KILLING her and forcing her soul to be reborn in a clone...]. Also, both Starlight and Discord have reasons to behave (the former to make friends and be happy (like she was with Sunburst) once again, the latter to get a chance in love with Fluttershy ). -> Cozy Glow has no other porpouse in life than to learn how to get CONTROL over others to fullfill her ambition and achieve greatness... [ she is JUST like Tirek ]. 3) They are likelly dead by now (probably indirectly because of the Storm King, who is conveniently also dead). But even in that case they would not be "scrutinized" unless Cozy happens to have an identical cutiemarkless twin sister... -> Once Cozy Glow got her cutiemark, she became her own pony (in all senses that count). About typical background pony morality: -> "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" [ponies just want to live in peace] They can NOT recognize someone who can shapeshift (even thinking about it too much would only lead to paranoia); while they can NOT avoid filling resentment and being cautious every time they see someone who CAN NOT change their appareance that was publicly known as "dangerous & evil" [specially when it is "without using magic or artifacts" but just her mind and voice].

To be fair, aside from enslaving a village, Starlight didn't really do anything. While she prevented the Mane 6 from meeting, multiple times, she ultimately reset the timeline and destroyed the spell, effectively making it as if it had never happened. No one, except the Mane 6 knows what she did, and the only proof that could be presented to anyone of authority is a torn up spell.

It still doesn't change the fact that she tampered with the timeline. Preventing the Main 6 from meeting caused many worlds where ponies were suffering, at war or died. You can clean up the damage from a catastrophic event, but it doesn't change the fact that it happened in the first place even if it involves the timeline. Also Starlight, did more than just enslave ponies, she lied to them and stole their cutie marks pretty and was planning on doing the same thing to every pony with pretty much goes against the laws of nature in equestria.

Sooo.... a little filly, a _child_ was sent to tartarus, which is technically eternal imprisonment and yes, it was deserved for she _did_ commit serious crimes against Equestria but one question nags me... If she's a little filly... where the heck are her parents or guardians?! By the way, have any of you noticed that this finale has left the huge potential for the student six to be sent into map missions, from now on? The Tree of Harmony has interacted with them directly, it has saved them, Sandbar once mentioned about "finally going on a friendship mission" and at the end, when the tree is saving them, it is even pointed out by a background character that they were glowing the same colors as the elements and the Mane Six when _they_ use the elements. Maybe I am overthinking things, but in my eyes, the Student Six can now yield the elements, like the Mane Six and use its power (for good, obviously) if necessary. The potential that has been created for future stories with them is incredible, if you think of it!

Maybe she's an orphan or something. I don't think it really matters because in the end Cozy Glow is a dangerous sociopath who clearly stated her intentions to continue her plans elsewhere. I get the idea that some people think it's overkill to punish a little filly like that, but kids can be just as dangerous and evil as adults and the fact she has an adult level intellect and is fully aware of her actions proves she is not an ordinary child and has to be treated as a special case due to the threat she could still potentially pose.

Oh, I didn't think it was overkill to send her to tartarus. I'm just wondering why there doesn't seem to be any adult pony responsible for her.

School Raze certainly demonstrated how the real villain can be the individual you least expect I.e Cozy Glow,but at least the finale ended well Cozy Glow was imprisoned in Tartarus and Neighsay got a whole new perspective on things and finally opened his eyes about how ponies aren't the only ones capable of friendship,and we also learned how much the ponies of Equestria depend of magic to survive (which in my opinion is a little too much),but i gotta say out of everything i saw in the season 8 finale it's Cozy Glow i'm really impressed with because she's proven to be a pretty convincing villain especially since she's the first filly villain in the series.

I don't understand how everyone can praise this finale and say Cozy Glow is the best villain. She is just a stupid kid with a stupid motivation. Her scheme doesn't even make any sense. If she wants to be powerful through friendship, why don't just make her way up slowly within the school? What's the point of taking away other magics in Equestria? Wouldn't that send her world to apocalypse and make her plan pointless? About her being best manipulator, sorry she's not. She only managed to manipulate others because no one expected a filly to be evil in the first place. She's nothing compared to Discord, Flim & Flam and Iron Will, whom even if others knew were bad still couldn't argue with their logic and had to do as they said. And she said she knew the CMC were distracting her, but she didn't even bother to check what they were distracting her from? There was also no point in her helping the CMC in Marks for Effort. The finale just completely turns her personality around. It would have made much more sense if she hadn't been really evil but only followed Neighsay's order to sabotage the school. The finale is also riddled with plot holes. Who is Cozy anyway? How did she contact Tirek in Tartarus? How could Tirek know how to use those artifacts, most of which are not from pony kingdom in the first place, to suck magic away? How did Starswirl find out exactly how magic was gonna disappear, to the point of which one disappeared first. If Twilight, an alicorn, couldn't even levitate objects, how did the Royal sisters change the day? The mane 6 came to a prison with a 1 time use key and they just walked right in. Even if there had been no Cozy Glow, how would they have planned to come out after they interrogated Tirek? What was the manticore doing in there? Wasn't it a pretty nice creature in S1 premier? Wasn't the gate of Tartarus, the supposedly top security prison in Equestria, too easy to open with just some residue magic? The artifacts were sucking the student 6 AND STARLIGHT into the void and the other students just "meh, let's listen to Cozy and leave them to their death". And people called S6 finale stupid.

I like Cozy as a villain. She has a Child-Like understanding of lots of things, she is the personification of Power: 1. She has a "corrupted" view of Friendship etc. 2. She knows a lot about everyone, and "information is power" 3. She sees Friendship as the ability to gain "influence" 4. Cozy can control a crowd and turn them against others. What I find MOST refreshing regarding Cozy, is that the writers haven't been afraid to write her a pretty much "Psychotic" i.e. she 100% believes that what she is doing is Right, and she was prepared to dispose of literally Anyone who got in Her way. I DO hope we see Cozy again! Maybe as part of a group, with Tirek, Crysalis and Sombra even? The ultimate finale to this Generation!

I'll admit this finale was one of the more interesting ones. On the one hand, they didn't just make Neighsay evil, and actually had a fairly solid reason for why Cozy Glow did what she did, complete with a non-reformation for her as well. On the other hand, I do wish this had been a three-parter just to add in a little bit more world building, and have a scene where Neighsay apologizes to the other leaders directly, but I think that's just because I want to see Prince Rutherford hug him just to see Neighsay's "I immediately regret this decision" face. Overall, a good finale to a fairly good season, and I eagerly await season 9.

An overall very good finale for an overall very good season. It was funny, exciting, and very subversive. Every major character is utilized effectively, written competently, and given something to do. Seeing Tirek again was a real treat too. Much like "To Where and Back Again", it's refreshing to see someone besides the Main 6 save the day. However, "School Raze" improves on the Season 6 finale, the Main 6 are NOT completely nerfed and are still able to contribute to the story without being written out. Plus, the students have slightly better chemistry than the group in TWABA. Having Sandbar be the one to save the others allows for him to get some much needed time in the spotlight. Having Chancellor Neighsay be a red herring was a genius idea, not only because it's an effective twist, but it actually provides a layer of complexity for him. He's not a villain, he's someone who's deeply misguided, but not fully wrong. But the real MVP of this finale was Cozy Glow, who is by far the most dynamic, sinister, and entertaining villain in the show so far. I love how she switches from being a sneaking manipulator to an eccentric power hungry despot in an instant. She's like a kid version of Dolores Umbridge. And that ending was icing on the cake. It wasn't perfect though. It was disappointing to have the Crusaders finally contribute to the finale...only to stick them in the closet. Twilight brushing off Starlight losing her powers as her needing practice is kind of stupid, given that she knows how skilled Starlight is. Finally, it feels like Neighsay got off a little too easy considering that he tried to impose his agenda on the School of Friendship and held several students captive in Twilight's absence. In the end, "School Raze" is a very effective and satisfying way to end Season 8 on and lead us into Season 9.

I respectfully disagree with your take on the students, they weren't super fleshed out, but they were all likable, were developed, and did change by the season's end. Also, I liked Twilight and friends not being the ones to save the say in the Season 6 finale, but my issue was the filmsy and vague way in which they were taken out.

He's also very sarcastic and cynical, but his backstory about him being an orphan and suffering from loneliness makes him the most sympathetic. Silverstream is a joy to watch for her energy and optimism. Ocellus' shy, meek, demeanor reminds me a lot of Willow from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Speaking of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Sandbar reminds me a lot of Xander.

There was a moment where Neighsay could have double crossed everyone. Just before he used his portal to go see Celestia, he looked back at the "Student Six". In that moment, he had every chance to try and cease power for himself. He could have lied to Princess Celestia and told her that Cozy Glow and the Student Six were working together. Two birds with one stone. But he didn't. He learned to see past species/race all on his own. Another reason why I like this finale.

On the other cloven hoof... he DID acquired certain level of RESPECT for those 6 ponies (all of them female, 2 of them pegasi), who defeated him "in all senses" in that final showdown of power at the Tree of Harmony´s cave. The way he dismisses Spike [who "was there" when he trapped the mane five], sugest that he did not even "recorded" them but until AFTER they manage to "take him down" [hence why he may be cautiously optimistic when a similar "cute pony pegasus" looks for his knowledge and wisdom to make "something more than mere mischief"...]

Fantastic as always Dr Wolf! Loved to the point of rotflmao the “Release the Pinkie Pie” moment, “I can do this aaall eternity “ Terick’s eye twitches. Reminded me of the episode where AJ is hiding out at the cherry farm !! Chancellor Naysay was a great red herring for big bad, his turn was a little quick, but when faced w the greatest threat to Equestria being a PONY, and not the non ponies he has had it in for, it’s a believable cherry on his humble pie. I hope we see more development w him later, and see FS work to improve the conditions of the beasts in Pony Hell( which is amazing we finally saw it! Anyone else think Ceburus was going to be a battering ram to escape like he did before?). I mean call backs galore, and some beasts were bad like the chimaera, but the manticore wasn’t all that bad, unless this was a different one? Honestly thought that there was going to be some condition that the students had to grab the artifacts of their own race or it would not work, but nothing was mentioned, but I think they did that anyway, After the Jedi fear tree incident, you think CG would have accounted for the Tree of Harmony, but no, and it literally pulled off the save in the end! Finally, where was Discord throughout all this? Why is he never called for help? Were his parts already split? Voice actor unavailable? Too easy a resolution? Finally finally, NOTHING STOPS THE MAIL!

Best season finale in a long time! A villain that was actually in the making since her debut, Neighsay staying as is but then seeing the error of his ways, Twilight using a huge amount of Magic and for a time giving the creatures locked in Taurtarus give them their own body and minds. Everything about these episodes were so well written and if they could they probably could have made this a TV movie with extended parts. But the BEST was getting the Student Six and seeing what possible elements they represent and the artifacts too ^^ Man, I was hoping that the season finale would make up for the not so stellar season in general, and it does! But Cozy was still a filly so her having multiple friends was a perfect motivation for her wanting to becoming the 'Empress of Friendship'. And yes, Cozy will return if that last scene was any speculation. All in all, I think Season 8 ended on a bang and does a villain right. Time for Season 9 hype!

I totally LOVED that manipulation. I have a love for these kind of villains. Not Tirek. He was just dump. And the "monsters" (I put "monsters" in quotes, because of Flutterhsy) that seems to have been created by magic itself was a great idea. I think, since these creatures were coming from the Everfree Forest, it's the magic of the forest itself that's "fusing" them together to create these "monsters". Or your 0815 magical artifact that lies there for a thousand years. I could see in the future Cozy Glow getting all the previous villains (that are still there) together to focus their power in a mutual goal. Defeat Equestria and TAKING OVER THE WORLD! ... until each one decides to betray their comrades for his/her personal goal in becoming the supreme sole ruler which gives the heros enough time to beat them with their friendship beam or something like that.

I think that Cozy Glow is a psychopath. The way she tries to grasp friendship is exactly the way a person incapable of feeling empathy would. She thinks that the more friends you have, the more power you have and thinks that is a reason to why people have friends. Even the chess piece cutie mark plays well with this, since there is a tendency for people who know of their high IQ to become apathetic since everything seems predictable to them. We also never saw her truly care about anyone, which is actually standing out from all reformed villains if you think about it. Nightmare Moon wanted eternal night just so that ponies interact with her more. She wanted attention. Discord is capable of friendship, as seen by him missing friendship when he lost it. Crystalis cares about her hive. These are all her children afterall. Starlight Glimmer was just jealous of Twilight's friendships going so well, while her ones fall apart. Cozy Glows is the only villain who isn't a being of pure evil (since she's a pony) and does not care about anyone. Psychopaths often take enjoyment out of playing with others via manipulating. And since we have no evidence that ponies can't be psychologically disabled... Well, that's my theory.

A lot of people think Cozy Glow isn't a pony, but what if she is, but isn't a filly? What is she had a condition like systemic hypoplasia like Mary Dahl did in Batman, the animated series episode "Baby Doll". A better example would be Gary Colman. When he passed away at the age of 42, he still looked like a 12 year old kid. Cozy could be just as old as Twilight but her body never grew up. All her planning and manipulation of others sound to mature for a filly to do. Not even Diamond Tiara was ever that manipulative. Being an adult trapped in a child body could make her become mentally unstable...

I LOVE that kind of villans who are super f up but are very deep and man Cozy's character is definitely super deep and I can say that without even hearing her backstory... I mean unless writers decide to f it up like they did with Starlight but I hope they won't She is so smart, I especially love the part where she sees through the CMC's plan and comes up with such a great plan in meer minutes... I mean her plan there was so good, she knew that they would be next to the artefactsand that she has no chance against them so she decided to take the crowd with her that's so smart And what animators did with her character is just masterpiece, her cutie mark, her faces, the way she moved it all was so good that it was able to split the fandom in half because it was just so saddle and that's something I can appreciate I was really disappointed that pegasus didn't stop flying but I've got a theory for it: Cozy didn't take Pegasus magic(because it's not those wings that are lifting them up for sure, so it has to be magic) because of 2 reasons 1. it's not as dengerous as for example unicorn magic which could stop her immediately so that's why she took it in the first day 2. she is a Pegasus herself so it comes handy for her And we also know she didn't take ALL the magic because than everypony would look like they did back in season 4 finale and that wouldn't be good for her too because she wanted to make friends with them And here's a cute details that you might have missed: Cozy Glows crown is made with duck tape I think it's super cute

Either way, I did see and not see this plot-twist coming with Cozy Glow turning out from friend to foe. On the other hand, I didn't expect Neighsay to turn out from foe to friend!

My big question is with neighsays statement at the end regarding how the school of friendship is the best place to learn about friendship woth twlight as headmare, does that mean yhe school os going to be EEA approved, either off screen or in the first episode of season 9? Or does it go bu twilight's statement in the premiere on how it's a friendship school not an EEA school meaning it doesn't need to be approved, (though neighsay might approve it anyway)?

Cozy + Tirek won't a big problem as a team, because IF the magic in Equestria do vanished, Tirek will be useless. Now, IF MLP target was for older audience, Cozy working with Chrysalis would be the most darkest episode in MLP show, why? Imagine if Cozy managed to manipulate the Main 7 one by one into Chrysalis only to be defeated by her (which was part of Chrysalis' revenge) and replaced the defeated Main 7 with the one from the ponies in The Mean Six episode with more identical characteristics and behavior as the real one. This is probably why the staff went with Tirek instead of Chrysalis for the finale.

The only thing I'm not okay with in this episode it that in the end.. they tossed a foal into Tartaurus without a trial. Discord almost destroyed Equestria with his seeds that he planted a thousand years ago and he's still a loveable little scamp. But this foal gets tossed into Tartaurus. And don't give me the argument that "She's not a foal.". At no time in the story did the writers say that she's not a foal. Just that she's an "associate" of Tirek. For all we know, Tirek corrupted a foal or a foal just fell in.. somehow with Tirek and got messed up. So they tossed her into Tartaurus.. WITH THE PERSON WHO MESSED HER UP!!!! This is the WORST THING TO DO!!! A FOAL!!! Who most likely needs HELP. Now this all could have been avoided had the writers come out and said.. "She's a demon.", or, "She's an adult pretending to be a foal.", or "She's a magical creation pretending to be a foal.", but they didn't do that. So we're left with the image of Celestia and Luna tossing a foal, into Tartaurus. Do you realize how awful that image is?

Tirek could not have messed up Cozy Glow to that extent. Cozy is a genuine sociopath who is incapable of feeling guilt and views things like honesty and kindness as worthless. She was a monster who nearly doomed all of Equestria and possibly beyond for the sake of power and outright stated she intended to do so again. She got what she deserved.

How do we know this? She's a foal? We know as a fact that she was recieving instruction or HAD recieved instruction from Tirek.. somehow at one point. So YES. She WAS corrupted at some point. The issue is "can the corruption be undone"? Children don't understand the consequences of their actions beyond next week. They can't think ahead like an adult can. They're spontanious and very easy to be "brought to the wrong side of the tracks" given the right circumstances and that damage can be reversed. And it's a difficult road to reverse that damage but it can be done. Despite what she's done, just calling her a "psychopath", tossing her in a cage, and throwing away the key, is not the thing to do here given her age.

True. I'm not saying that this doesn't deserve punishment. HOWEVER, what I am saying is that tossing her into Tartarus with the very person who most likely corrupted her is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do would be to get her as far away from him as possible. Punish her. Keep her away from society. Find out what happened to her. And try to reverse the damage. Try to find out if there's anything in there that can be saved. She's a foal. If anyone is more than capable of being saved, it's a child. Adults are set in their ways. Children aren't. They change. She will not be a lost cause. As people age, they change. You are not the same person you were when you were 6 years old. An old man is not the same person he was when he was 6. It all depends on their environment and who they are as they grow up. A child is not someone to give up on, ever. You can say psychopath all you want, but you never, ever, should give up on a child. They won't be the same person they are, even in a few years. Especially one that young.

To repudiate the argument that Cozy Glow's punishment was too harsh compared to Starlight Glimmer's punishment in Season 5: The former was a manipulative power hungry sociopath who willfully conspired with a tyrant to steal all of the magic in Equestria and regrets nothing. The latter is a case of someone who regrets her actions and tries to repent for them.

I really enjoyed the finally and I also suspected from the beginning that Cozy was up to no good. I wasn't the least bit surprised but, I still had lots of fun. That being said, the very end of the finally left me with a lot of questions. Like, I know Cozy caused a lot of trouble and she clearly doesn't want to reform but, Tartarus?! Are there really *only* three options if you commit a serious crime in Equestria? Reform, be turned into stone, or be sent to Tartarus? What about her parents or her family; do they not get a say in this? Does she not have a family? Are there really no other provisions; like, some sort of institute or some kind of house she could go to for counseling and therapy? I mean, she's still a child after all. I'm just a tad concerned. Guess I'll make sure to never commit any crimes in Equestria. :/ - She stole some of my food. ~ I was desperately hungry; I promise I'll pay you back. - Not good enough. To Tatarus you go. ~ Noooooooo......

Your mention of the chimeric beasts possibly having been created through the use of magic to bond together separate animals, using one as a base and only keeping the most advantageous parts as additional appendages brings to mind one possibility as to the reason why Preliminary, non-pony study of an experimental spell that would come to be used to make artificial Alicorns. Celestia knowledge of how to do it had to come from somewhere, and it seems like a pretty logical leap to suggest that perhaps at some point in the study of a spell like that, refinements lead to a discovery that pure magic could be tweaked to imitate the effect of merging one creature with another. It would be easy to say that the flight spell from season 1 is a weaker, more manageable version of such a spell; and it's worth noting that when the beasts separated into their component animals, the bat that should have contributed the Manticore's wings is nowhere to be seen.

Dr. Wolf, this episode was both amazing and soul crushing for my theory work. In refering that a semester of time had passed, the show denied canon was canon and therefore destroyed my timeline. However, with Nicole Dubac's encouragement, I have continued on. The amazing part of this was what you stated, magic being infused into all things, confirms the theory of magic I have been working on for years. Twilight losing her magic but never losing her cutiemark as with Tirek proves my theory on core magic. Anyway, I look forward to sending that your way though I can confirm that my Timeline is now active to the public.

there was one part I really didn't get. When the Mane 7 went to talk to Celestia and Luna, she says "we're on it" and Rarity steps forward expecting Twilight to run off on her own like "wait, what? You said WE!?" and I'm just like, how long ago was the last time Twilight ever acted like she didn't need her friends? Where she ran off thinking she had to go alone? It just felt like it came out of nowhere, this lack of trust Rarity had in Twilight.

jomb234 didn’t you remember that in the movie and some of the previous finales twilight has been hiding things/gone off on her own either by plot demands or her insistence for them to stay behind? I mean, it’s been somewhat apparent since season 4: Season 4 - hid the fact that she harnessing all alicorn power from the mane 5 and going on one on one with tirek while the others are imprisoned after they’re told to stay behind Season 5 - goes one on one with starlight while the other 5 were sidelined with alternate personalities in different alternate realities Season 6 - all of them are sidelined, no comment on that Season 7 - they work together once again but still have to separate for their respective pillars, and the highlighted bond I s still on twilight and starlight in the end, not much on the actual mane 6 (still a great finale though) Movie - the infamous twilight snapping at pinkie scene and throughout the movie she hid her concerns from the mane 5 until the moment she messed up and the mane 5 left her behind Considering the recent epic adventure (the movie) twilight ended up doing something on her own; STEALING THE PEARL OUT OF DESPERATION, I can definitely see why rarity pointed this out to twilight. You’d think that mlp finales would have more overall equal involvement between the mane 6 rather than spotlighting twilight more than the others, but I can see why this happens Point is i believe rarity usually being the one most attentive to other’s tendencies and emotions made sense for her to be the one to speak out this way; not necessarily on twilight ‘not needing her friends’ per se but more on the fact that twilight does usually end up shouldering the burden and kept secrets on her own to protect her friends because she believe its best in those scenarios.

There's one thing about the finale that still rubs me the wrong way: flight. Day Two, all creatures lose their magic. Except for Pegasi, who can still fly. Wasn't it established by the last magic drainer that, after absorbing enough unicorn/spell magic, flight could also be drained? Yet, even on the eve of the third day, a few hours away from losing all magic, pegasi and Silverstream were flying. Silverstream I can forgive because she transforms by artefact magic, which explicitly takes the longest to drain, so she could just transform herself into a version of her that flies with muscle power rather than magic power. But what's everyone else's excuse?

So am I the only one really confused and bothered that all those mystical creatures are locked in tiny cages in tartarus just for being the creatures they are? Unless it was a different one the Manticore certainly wasn't evil (I'd argue none were but that one was even relatively friendly and Fluttersy being kind to it was sort of a point). While in Tartarus Fluttershy even calls them wonderful, but seems fine with them being left there as long as they are brought back to how there were. Am I missing something? Also Cozy getting locked there also makes me a bit uneasy... People getting second chances seems pretty important to ponies.. though I suppose what can they really do to her. I suppose they may intend to try to reform her if the opportunity comes up later. It is just a prison really...

I’ve seen clips of the season 8 finale before watching the entire finale. Like I said, Tirek is Hannibal Lecter. Also, I hated the fact that Cozy Glow was a villain. Bronies were saying, “Oh, there is something wrong with her.” “Oh, there’s something off about her character.” That’s just stupid. Another thing. I think she should’ve been expelled from the school instead of suspended the moment the failed that friendship test on purpose. One last thing. I’ve been saying that friendship isn’t a competition, and not who gets more friends. It’s about who you make friends with.
