Good news! The episode that “What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me” actually is a entire MUSICAL episode!! So you CAN react to the whole one as a video because it’s like 70% song. Edit: the episode is “Magical Mystery Cure” and it’s the season 3 finale.

Starlight was indeed the cult leader pony this is after she tried to destroy the timeline and got redeemed. The songs from the movie are genuinely amazing and that's already considering how good the songs in the show are. The change of Cutie marks was Twilight's fault she used an incomplete spell

[@GeoJoe_13]

A cutie mark is a talent but generally people tend to have jobs that align with their cutie marks because it just makes it easier. Rarity is a great example of not doing that. Her cutie mark has nothing to do with fashion but everything to do with gems. That why, in one episode she's out looking for gems to add to her dresses, she uses a spell to help track them. But because Rarity's passion is fashion and dressmaking she does that while including gems into the final design

5:25 - from season 3 to 7, basically every season ends like it could be the series finale, because the creators of the show didn't know for certain whether the show would be renewed for another season. They knew for certain that season 9 would be the last one, so they went all-in with its finale.

[@Mega-Brick]

Which is also just a good practice in general, even if you know the show is going to continue. It not only gives people convenient starting/stopping points, but it also helps the show's macro-pacing by dividing up narrative themes and arcs. It's... something that modern media is kinda forgetting about.

The 'seahorses' are Hippocampi! Hippocampus are half horse, half fish, kinda like a merhorse, and are what pull Poseidon's chariot. You saw him turn into a hippocampus in the beginning that animatic for the song Ruthlessness in Epic: The Musical. Then he turned into a Nyxie while running on the water. But he was a gigantic hippocampus when curling around the boat under the water before popping up and rocking Odysseus' 💩.

[@SnowLily06]

Starlight glimmer(the cult leader)'s character growth is unironically the best i have ever seen in any form of media. By the end of the show, she has gradually grown so much and replaces Twilight as princepal of a school that teaches friendship to people to spread unity and harmony across the world. I genuinely use lessons learned from watching Starlight in my real life, and i know other people who do too.

[@k4ss_nymphenkora]

The season 5 finale, which was the first song abt starlight redeeming herself, I heard it was originally gonna be the finale of the show, but they decided to continue it for like 4 more seasons.

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Twilight becomes a Princess at the end of Magical Mystery Cure was supposed to be the finale, but due the show's booming popularity at that time, the series continued with Twi's Princess arc.

[@thomascharlton7394]

​@poweroffriendship2.0 To be fair there are like 4 ending points the show could have had at least. Season 3, season 5, the movie, and I think season 8

I'm pretty sure that Seasons 3-5 were originally going to end there, but the show kept blowing up with popularity so they continued.

[@yasminegoussous6259]

Your right about the cutie mark thing, but since their cutie marks swapped around they thought that what it is, is *supposed* to be what they enjoy and love. And you are right, they don't remember the fact that those marks aren't *theirs*. Also none would really *want* to do something other than what their cutie mark shows, because it is also what they enjoy and love to do

[@nomekuni1307]

Well, they could want to do something else. Like that one character who’s in the wonderbolt who also likes cooking. They could like to do other stuff, but their cutie mark will be what makes them feel like it’s their purpose i suppose. Their destiny 😊

Yeah, "What My Cutie Mark Is Telling Me" is from the last episode of season 3 "Magical Mystery Cure". It is one of my favorite MLP FIM songs. You should watch the episode!

(I just wish that they split the episode into two parts so they could give more time for the story) Amazing video as always!

[@SilverScroll]

Cutie marks are never that well explained in the show, but here goes: Cutie marks basically reflect _who you are_ as a person, including in a metaphysical/destiny sense. They awaken when you truly figure out what makes you _you,_ which _usually_ happens when you're doing something fulfilling that you're good at, but not always (Cheerilee for example got hers in her sleep). This leads to interesting consequences in the rare cases that magic is powerful enough to mess with them, which happens on only four occasions: >raw, badly controlled Harmony Magic swapped them around _completely,_ in essence also switching around _the associated ponies' places in the world._ As the one who cast the spell, Twilight is the only one who realizes that that is what changed, as to the world at large (and the ponies affected), this is just _who they've always been now._ Since their actual skills or passions didn't change, though, (only a weak and insufficient skillboost provided by the cutie mark,) this leads to some intense sudden identity dysphoria. >Starlight (cult leader), with her unorthodox and self-taught magical experimentation, was able to discover cutie mark "removal", which essentially extracts the component that symbolically expresses the pony's identity once the cutie mark is activated _while the cutie mark remains in its activated state_ - this causes it to enter into a sort of "error" state, symbolized by the equals sign. Usually, when a pony does something they're passionate about as part of their identity, it resonates with their cutie mark, amplifying the skill, and strong resonance can cause the first manifestation or, on already active cutie marks, a really pretty glow effect. In this error state, however, any expression of skill or passion instead resonates _negatively,_ reducing everyone affected by this error state to an equal baseline. >When a pony's magic is completely drained (e.g. in the 4th Season finale), this also causes the cutie mark to demanifest, as it seems to be powered by a pony's innate magic. It only goes dormant, though, and returns as before when magic is restored. >Starlight furthered her studies in cutie mark manipulation by applying the second technique to _swapping_ cutie marks at one point. This causes the cutie mark to resonate with the _wrong_ skills, essentially swapping the skills that are _so_ ontologically unique that they rely on cutie mark resonance to work. Since this is not deep-level reality-altering Harmony Magic, the grave effects of the first cutie mark swap do not occur in this case. Note that the very way how all forms of magic including cutie marks worked were _fundamentally altered_ during the timeskip between _Friendship Is Magic_ and _A New Generation,_ so this analysis no longer holds true for Generation 5. (and yes, there is a reason for this alteration in-universe)

Fun fact about the Friends are Always There for You song (the one with Starlight after she's been redeemed), when this came out, it was at the end of the season, and everyone was speculating that Starlight actually forcefully hypnotized everyone, since she'd literally changed the worlds multitudinous times at that point, so she showed she was powerful enough.

Cutie marks are a manifestation of a pony’s special talent, something they do uniquely better than others. Rarity’s special talent isn’t actually dress making, it’s finding/collecting gems, there are multiple ponies in the show that do something that doesn’t directly align with their cutie mark

[@Yorancy]

About the Cutie Mark changing thing, Cutie Marks have always been a weird thing to explain, but the show itself manages to at least give some explanations on it: The Cutie Mark not only represent their "jobs", it represents who they are and their purpose. Rarity for example didn't get her cuite mark by making costumes, she gained her cutie mark after making beautiful works of art with beautiful jewels and gave them to her class for them to make their show, her act of doing art and being generous with the stuff she does is what made her get her cutie mark, Pinkie Pie could've gotten her cutie mark by just planning the party, but it was after she saw the happiness from her family that she realized that her purpose is to bring happiness to everyone. This is why the confusion happens, Pinkie's essence is bringing happines to everyone and that's what her cutie mark represents, now that that off and give it to Fluttershy, a shy pony who barely talks to strangers, by having Pinkie's essence she will try to make everyone happy, but her shy personality makes it impossible. They got someone's else essence and now have to learn what to do on their own. Hope that helped a little, because Cutie Marks sure is a topic a bit hard to understand

I think a couple of people might have mentioned these songs but here are some more mlp recommendations: - Pinkie's Lament (if you like Pinkie's belt-y voice you'll like this!!) - Make This Castle A Home (+Reprise) - Let the rainbow remind you (personal fav) - Days Gone By!! (It's not part of the show, it's part of a Christmas Album they did but it's definitely amazing) - All the songs from the S6E8 A Hearth's Warming Tail - The Ballad Of The Crystal Empire - Celestia's Ballad - Make a wish

"My feet are just hands on my legs?" Truer words have never been spoken.

[@tfgirl444]

I can't believe I got to an MLP video relatively early lol. Those are some of my favorite songs.

[@nescirian]

You raised the idea of a pony song being not upbeat, which made me try to think of the saddest mlp song. Off the top of my head, contenders would be... well, tbh pretty much any song from the low point of a musical episode, which means I Have To Find A Way (which is basically from immediately after What My Cutie Mark Is Telling Me), Pinkie's Lament, Luna's Future, or The Pony I Want To Be. Thinking about it further, other options include I'll Fly (probably only sad in context), and Out On My Own (didn't really do much for me, but it's definitely intended to be sad). Joke runner up: Untitled Sad Yak Song ("Yona sad, Yona sing sad song, sad Yona"). Now that I google it, apparently there are actual remixes of that, which is great. I'm probably forgetting some though. If there are enough sad pony songs you haven't heard, it could be a fun idea for a themed video, in contrast to all the happy pony songs. Another fun idea would be to do actual episode reactions to just the four musical episodes - each of them is like 80% song. Those are Magical Mystery Cure, Pinkie Pride, Crusaders Of The Lost Mark, and A Hearth's Warming Tail. you should also listen to this day aria

i just binged watched all the mlp reaction video and i love the analysis sm. if you’re looking to react to any other songs, here are some of my personal favourite: - winter wrap up - you’re in my head like a catchy song - let the rainbow remind you - apples to the core - may the best pet win - open up your eyes - art of the dress anyways, i loved your videos!!

[@speslux19]

OMG i didn't think i would ever see him react to MLP again 🤩

[@randomtheunicorn]

I don't know if you'll see this but i followed you because you posted your reaction to MLP. I'm unbelievably obsessed with Friendship is magic so when I see people dip their toes in it, especially if they'd seen some of it before, always makes me so excited. Honestly, i've been sad since FIM ended and your reactions to these songs always make me cry happy tears because it's just more proof that MLP succeeded in what it set out to do. Thank you for spreading a bit of that magic!

[@FruitySkeleton]

i think its a crime discord only sings once in mlp, and its glass of water

[@kp12_art]

fun fact, according to a panel from 2016(?) thats the ONLY singing role john delancie has ever had & hes been acting since the 80s

[@FeligamiAdrizoeSworaDennisTRF]

True. But glass of water isn’t really a catchy song. It’s more a meme in my opinion.

[@delfinal7560]

Seeing your reaction to hippogriffs and sea ponies is just beautiful. Priceless

[@alyssakays367]

I love when you react to MLP songs! If you haven’t already I highly recommend The Magic Inside and Shine Like Rainbows. The latter is the credit music for Rainbow Rocks but it’s still really good.

[@Amethyst.i]

11:26 “The animation looks slightly different, am I tripping?” Pinkie Pie: What? No!

[@invaderalliangel470]

Can you make a video on the songs from Dead End Paranormal Park? I feel like you’d really enjoy songs like, You’re my Frankenstein, Somewhere down there, The driver’s seat, and Just some guy

[@kp12_art]

omg yes!! I suggested this a few months ago, seconding this!!

[@Marriyam-k2j]

I'd love to see you react to the episode where their cutie marks switched! It's called Magical Mystery Cure and it's certainly my favourite episode of the show. There are also more great songs you can react to in it.

[@user-sn4ts6gd4v]

WWWAAA OWKIE, for the last song !!!!! theres another part to it, and its called "true, true friend" !!! lowkey got emotional when i rewatched it LOL

[@Mega-Brick]

One of my favorite tidbits is that in that first song, the line _seems_ to be _"Friends can change the world, you see,"_ ("as you can see, friends can change the world") which is the sort of naive/optimistic statement you'd expect from a kids' show, but the way the actresses sing it, there's no pause for the comma; the line in actuality is, _"friends can change the world you see,"_ ("the way you see the world can change based on the people around you") Which is a more nuanced and realistic statement you wouldn't expect from a kids' show.

[@Antis14CZ]

"Crash-tackle hugging" - that is such a perfect name for what Pinkie does and I'm SO stealing that 😂

[@clochb]

Watch the whole show, you'll understand the context of all these songs, discover other wonderful songs, and you'll see one of the best kids show of the last decades

[@aurxiia_]

nobody told me that you’d make ANOTHER mlp video AND OMGOGM IM SO GLAD YOU DID your mlp song reactions were probably one of the first videos I ever saw of you so I’m really happy you’re listening to a few again!! A suggestion for a mlp song I don’t think you’ve done yet should be “Your Heart is in Two Places” that’s in the episode “Surf and/or Turf”!! I used to love the song a lot and it’s a pretty interesting one that not many people really talk about

[@milleniam]

I was watching his Omori video!! MLP TIME WWOOOO

[@madamhenriettalaviniawithe7215]

You may use this comment as a "Please Mathew watch My Little Pony: The Movie" button

[@freshcroissant4751]

Yeeessssssss i've been waiting for this!! I was literally just watching ur zombies reaction lol ❤

[@naoisemccabe9734]

Guys I wonder why he hasn't listened to This Day Aria yet

[@ChuncheeCat]

Mathew had a stroke seeing the main six as mer-ponies.

[@glittergirl956]

Fun fact: “What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me” is actually the song that got me into the show, making it my favorite song!

[@newgate-zerohour]

Mathew if you haven't already, you NEED to listen to "You're in my head like a catchy song", because this song and this episode made the entire fandom ugly cry.

[@DesMuttYS]

So, if he hasn't listened to "What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me," does that mean he has also missed "A True, True Friend," as well?

[@lunargabrielle]

you should totally watch the episode the final song is from! (s3 ep13, magical mystery cure i believe) wheather or not its for a video! it was a turning point in the series and explains a big thing that is present for the rest of the series.

[@jonathanrolle2046]

Wait rarity is lining up the clouds in a pattern 😂

[@anihyrelles6870]

I love your interpretation of One Small Thing because ngl after I saw that movie I started using that song to help with my ADHD executive dysfunction to get things done and it helped a LOT

[@JanMaynz]

4:23 I mean... hands are technically just hyper mobile feet...
