You know, I miss the days when bad guys (in any media) were actually competent and presented a serious threat to the good guys. I miss the days when you could scare the shit out of kids instead of making your villains relateable. If little Timmy didn't have PTSD and jump at shadows before reaching kindergarten, you were doing something wrong.
Eh, whatever. This ship is sinking soon.
Fuck Italy.
Enjoy!

Might be good but I can see them fucking it up by making Grogar autistically obsessed with the line between alliance and friendship. It shouldn't really matter unless they start having tea parties and forgetting about their plan.
Unrelated note but why does Cozy act so sexual?

Because Shirley Temple has always given Hollywood an erection.

Shame Cozy Glow wasn't in the earlier seasons, since she's too good to be in the shitty new ones.
Anyway, cautiously optimistic for the new episode.

…You realize anon was joking with the Shirley Temple line, right (though of course, she was supposedly partly based on her; many decent, average Americans adored Shirley Temple, obviously, otherwise she wouldn't be so well-known)? And besides, there's plenty to like about her character, even from my perspective, since I don't find fillies/colts sexy.
Second, vid-related.

Oh great, another retard who can't just accept when he's wrong, or feels the need to shitfling (which I've bitten hook, line and sinker) for "damage control", even though there's no harm done and not only do people generally not give a shit, but you just make it worse by bringing attention to it.
If you have a refutation, make one, instead of repeating what was said to mock, faggot. Maybe everyone will adopt your point of view, but we all know everyone is too arrogant nowadays for that.
Sometimes I feel that if IDs were removed, people who are too stupid to work a VPN/Proxy wouldn't feel the need to shitfling because they've been ousted as a tardlet.

Cozy Glow feels more like an homage to Darla Dimple if you ask me. The whole "evil Shirley Temple parody" shtick started with Darla after all.

Holy shit that was amazing. I like how they actually managed to keep all the villains in character throughout the whole thing e.g. how Tirek just sat and waited for the others to fuck up cause he's smart like that. All those pornbait moments were cool too.
>>324850
>doesn't really make sense for Grogar not to be able to get the bell
They didnt say it explicitly, but I'm assuming that the defenses around the bell were put in place specifically to keep Grogar out. The magic may have been designed more for specificity than for overall strength, since they would have thought that only Grogar would have been able to find it and get to it. And even if someone else did get to it, it would still take a significantly powerful being to access it, since even a powered-up Tirek struggled to do it.
>or for Gusty to have gotten past all the natural obstacles
The legion of doom got past it pretty easily once they stopped acting like idiots. A presumably powerful magic user like Gusty would probably be able to do it herself. Plus, we dont know the details; maybe she had help too.
>the tards decided to hide the bell from a villain with a scrying orb in his own lair
If you know somebody has the ability to see anywhere in the world, hiding something under his nose would be the best way to keep it hidden (see The Purloined Letter).

>hiding something under his nose would be the best way to keep it hidden
It sort of depends how it works. E.g. he can see any specific place of his choosing but has to spend a long time scouting to find something vs. if it can track specific objects/ponies but it's harder to deduce the location. In either of those cases though, he should easily notice the bell being moved. As long as they keep it ambiguous about how it works we can assume there's some other mechanism that prevents their plan from falling apart until the finale.

8 to 9 out of 10
Defitnetly one of the best episodes of the last few seasons. Mainly because the villains actually had some chemistry and played well off each other.
Hopefully we will get another episode or two of badguys before pony dies entirely.

9/10, with special honours to the campfire scene. I thought the heist episode was the highlight of this season, but this one is great too. Skipping the bad-sounding ones has done wonders for my enjoyment of the series's twilight hours. Yes, I know it's stupid, but you couldn't pay me to care about the young six.
The worst part of all this was viewing Jim's twitter profile to find what the snake monster was called and finding child killers using pony gifs for political showmanship. Screw it all.
>>324851
>I'm assuming that the defenses around the bell were put in place specifically to keep Grogar out
That was my guess, too. Equestria's history is intentionally vague, but I reckon the magic shield had something that prevented or deflected Grogar's scrying orb.
The real question, as you mention, is why he apparently wasn't watching the trio when they were travelling to or from the mountain and clearly had the bewitching bell with them. Perhaps it's just standard villainous arrogance, or he was too busy scheming with something else. It'd be really funny if he starts the betrayal first because he noticed this and overheard their plan, but pretended to play along with it, but I doubt the writers would do something that complex.

I'm convinced them brining the bell back into the lair is going to be their downfall. All it would take is for Grogar to peek under the couch by happenstance for him to know he's being had.

I think that in return, Grogar's downfall will be his mistake of turning these backstabbers into close buddies. The season 9 finale will probably be Grogar reclaiming his full power after discovering the bell, and him exacting his wrath upon these 3 liars. The 3 villains realize that an OP supervillain is a threat to them too, and they'll team up with the Mane Six to defeat a common enemy. They eventually defeat Grogar through teamwork and save the day. After that, Tirek, Cozy, and Chrysalis discover the magic of friendship and become reformed after working together. Not sure how Tirek and Cozy will look, but Chrysalis will definitely turn into her nu-form like Thorax did.

Oh, it's coming alright. Chrysalis almost gave into the "disease" of friendship during this last episode. If she's already starting to have these moments of weakness, she's clearly not immune to the magic of friendship and it's only a matter of time now.
Just don't be mad when I'm proven right about nu-Chrysalis. :^)
