Well, I guess it's time for a sports episode!
(Cheering)
Sports.
I love sports.
Except I don't really like sports.
I was the kid in high school that was involved with the football team
and understood how the game worked, but not really...into the sport itself.
Sure the environment is fun and it's something to do, but at
the same time, I feel like I'm not really learning anything.
I'd rather be, you know, watching cartoons, or...watching more cartoons.
Or doing something along those lines.
Lines, cartoons, y'get it?
For one, I did like this episode because it brings up and makes a sport in our own little magical world with talking horses.
And I think in the lore that's something important to consider.
We got some of that sweet magic with "Harry Potter" and the "Legend of Korra" worlds, so why not in the ponies?
Extra points for Korra, as in the Avatar world, benders have distinct powers, and...you know.
Earth ponies and unicorns do too, so it kinda makes the comparison all the more easier.
As far as the episode itself, I have some mixed feelings.
There was Snails...I never thought I'd say this, but he's kinda a baller.
No pun intended.
So after Braeburn be bragging to Applejack about something that's big and mean, his buckball team,
Rainbow and Applejack are ready for the challenge, bringing in Fluttershy and Pinkie to help them
audition their golden unicorn.
This is where the Quidditch jokes get good.
Turns out not only are Fluttershy and Pinkie better than the two star athletes are at the game, but actually
Snails is actually kinda like cool, like I said.
I'm Sirius.
He doesn't do too much, but boy got mad skill.
So after the realization and a little hurt pride, Rainbow and Applejack give up playing for the team in favor of the better pair.
Pinkie: Wu-oh!
Applejack: Nice kick.
Cue training montage.
(Sounds of effort)
After that mess, AJ warns the crew's gotta...
Chorus: I gotta, get my, get my head in the game. Get in the game!
KP: 'Cuz all of Ponyville is counting on them.
I was like, "nope. No, Ponyville isn't...really...no they're not!"
Ponyville: Go Ponyville, go Ponyville!
(Cheering)
Oh. Shit.
The game doesn't seem too fun anymore when the pressure's on, but don't worry, I know the feel.
It's not a fun feel indeed. Get in the zone!
Jingle: Get in the zone! AutoZone!
KP: Once Rainbow and Applejack realize the other girls are scared shitless though, things start to calm down.
Especially when things get back into focus once the game is won again.
And then they remember hiw fun it is, and they end up taking the game FurReal.
FurReal! Yay Ponyville.
This episode reminds me of the Equestria Games for some reason.
Serious episode vertigo or something.
This episode is a fun little adventure and a pretty enjoyable episode with the inclusion of a new element and a cameo from a returning character.
Plus, Snails is pretty good here too.
Despite its predictability and the fact that it can't seem to decide what moral it wants to go with, the moral
about pushing yourself too hard and stopping just to have fun, which you can smell coming a mile away, it's kinda meh.
But the animation quality and just the general vibe of the episode makes it to be just an overall chill time.
And sometimes a chill time is just all you need.
But not too chill.
Dog: Woah! Oh! Yes I do! I do ever so want the ball! Oh boy, oh boy, I will get it and then bring it back!
(KP ending theme) Thanks for reading subtitles, let me know if I should do more in the future.
