00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.300
( dat title theme)

00:00:04.300 --> 00:00:07.260
So, um, my fan fiction where

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:08.460
Fluttershy was raised by Raincloud

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.160
is kinda destroyed thanks to this episode! ( Totally )

00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:11.160
Haber!

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:12.280
I guess that's okay, though.

00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:15.140
Fluttershy's family was on the list of things we needed to see before...

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:16.940
...well, I don't wanna say, "before the show ended,"

00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:20.200
but...kind of? Not that the show is ending soon, but you know.

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:21.080
You get my point.

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:22.000
It was on that bucket list.

00:00:22.240 --> 00:00:23.440
Poor Rainbow dad.

00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:27.120
And the whole family has this fun dynamic, but we're not gonna talk about the whole family,

00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:30.460
or in particular how Flutterdad has this pre-Breaking-Bad Bryan Cranston feel ( Now feel some cringe, in someways )

00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:39.060
♪ Gotta make a move to a town that's right for me ♫

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:41.140
Woah. I need something to get out of that mindset!

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:43.120
(Walter) I am the danger.

00:00:43.120 --> 00:00:46.120
A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think about me.

00:00:46.580 --> 00:00:49.300
Now, I am the one who knocks.

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:51.060
Sorry, I love me some Breaking Bad.

00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:54.200
The focus here is on Fluttershy's lazy, good-for-nothing brother

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.380
who's known for taking advantage of Fluttershy's parents.

00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:58.040
And hitting on Rainbow Dash.

00:00:58.540 --> 00:00:59.040
A lot. ( HERE COMES THE DAMN SHIPS )

00:00:59.980 --> 00:01:01.420
Bad touch! BAD TOUCH!

00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.040
The main focus of this character development here

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:04.640
is the quest for him to get a job on his own

00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:06.640
and be an independent person pony thing.

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.200
(Spongebob): It's alphabet soup! I made it special!

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:14.420
I'm not sure how long he's been doing this,

00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:17.240
but like me, and I'm sure other young peoples out there,

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:19.020
we have issues being independent.

00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:20.980
Well, we like being independent

00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:21.700
but we don't like being an adult

00:01:22.020 --> 00:01:23.900
and having to do things like...taxes. ( How does Rarity type with hooves? )

00:01:24.380 --> 00:01:25.740
Eh. Don't be an adult, kids.

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:28.460
So part of me sympathizes with old Zephyr here,

00:01:28.460 --> 00:01:31.340
but the other part is like, "oh my god, does this boy not have any drive in his life?"

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.340
Jesus!

00:01:32.440 --> 00:01:34.720
I have a huge amount of artistic drive when I want

00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:36.020
or...am into something.

00:01:36.020 --> 00:01:36.740
Cough, cough.

00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:40.940
So seeing this boy not wanting to do anything in his life is like, "huh? Really?"

00:01:40.940 --> 00:01:42.460
What's with his cutie mark then?

00:01:42.460 --> 00:01:44.060
Wouldn't it make more sense if he didn't have one?

00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:46.280
But yeah, this episode gives me conflicted emotions.

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.680
At least Zephyr has a real name. That's nice.

00:01:49.540 --> 00:01:52.420
(Esmeralda): Zephyr, you need to slow down!

00:01:54.460 --> 00:01:57.020
(Zephyr in slow-motion): No, no, no.

00:01:57.220 --> 00:01:59.240
(KP) Well, bad example, but you get my point.

00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:00.660
Man, that sequel sucks.

00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:02.020
Another aspect of this episode

00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:03.560
that I felt really confused about is:

00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:05.720
What exactly does Fluttershy do to make money?

00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:08.180
Does she get a commission from the town for taking care of the animals?

00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:09.800
Does she run a pet-sitting service?

00:02:10.100 --> 00:02:12.920
Is she a spy? I'm so confused about that.

00:02:12.920 --> 00:02:17.240
[Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme begins]

00:02:17.500 --> 00:02:20.220
So this is the story all about how

00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:22.720
That my life got flipped upside down, and...

00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:24.720
That's all I'm doing. Sorry.

00:02:24.720 --> 00:02:27.880
Zephyr storms - I mean, breezes into Fluttershy's parents' house, ( Fluttershy ) OH. ( Rainbow Dash ) S**T.

00:02:27.880 --> 00:02:29.880
telling the fam that the mane therapy course

00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:31.880
that he was just taking wasn't working for him.

00:02:31.880 --> 00:02:33.160
Call it artistic differences.

00:02:33.160 --> 00:02:35.180
He declares to the family that he's moving back in.

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:36.980
Fluttershy's like, "LOL no."

00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:41.560
Seriously, Fluttershy's so deadpan in this episode it's a little scary to see how much she's developed as a character.

00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.960
Into the point about outshining her parents in assertiveness,

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:45.420
and basically tell Zephyr to:

00:02:45.600 --> 00:02:48.320
You fu***** son of a ***** (laughs),

00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.500
get out of here (laughs)!

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.120
(Fluttershy) Oh! Excuse my language.

00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:55.660
And guess where he ends up?

00:02:56.440 --> 00:02:57.880
He ends up at Fluttershy's.

00:02:57.900 --> 00:02:59.180
Sorry. I ruined it.

00:02:59.340 --> 00:02:59.840
Sorry.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:01.180
Fluttershy willfully agrees,

00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:02.440
but he's gotta get a job.

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:03.420
They first try Rarity's, but

00:03:03.420 --> 00:03:07.720
apparently Rarity's not a fan of the whole cosplay pet movement that's sweeping the nation. (Opalescence growls)

00:03:07.720 --> 00:03:10.240
(KP) Oh, and nice reference to Fluttershy's animal taking abilities,

00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.440
which has been a thing, but we've never directly explored this.

00:03:12.660 --> 00:03:14.800
Maybe in the future we can talk about it guys!

00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.820
( Awkward Silence )

00:03:16.820 --> 00:03:17.700
(KP) No? Okay.

00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:19.200
Job #2:

00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.880
Wax on, wax off.

00:03:21.880 --> 00:03:24.500
(KP) That doesn't work out either, but at least we have Zelda pony!

00:03:24.500 --> 00:03:28.560
He then gets a job from Rainbow Dash, and surprise-surprise, he can't make it through that as well.

00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:30.580
Fluttershy then sentences him to death! ( BOOM )

00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:32.320
I mean, to live outside.

00:03:32.320 --> 00:03:37.540
(Vanellope) I sleep in these candy wrappers and I bundle myself up like a little homeless lady.

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:40.120
After we get a talk about the pros and cons of failing,

00:03:40.220 --> 00:03:43.620
and how that fear of failing for Zephyr has outweighed him trying to do anything.

00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:46.640
I still can't get over how this kid never tried anything in his life.

00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:48.760
But, besides that, the moral was really adult.

00:03:48.900 --> 00:03:50.020
We get a cute song.

00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.060
(Anastasia) I simply new it! Suddenly I feel like someone new!

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:58.120
(Demitri and Vlad): Anya you're a dream come true!

00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.120
And pretty soon Zephyr gets back on  his feet again.

00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:01.460
Hooves...whatever.

00:04:01.460 --> 00:04:01.960
Woo!

00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.220
I like how the parents of Fluttershy are into the shipping.

00:04:04.220 --> 00:04:06.660
It's like, they think its there but [nervous laughter]

00:04:06.900 --> 00:04:08.620
So in closing this episode despite its flaws

00:04:08.620 --> 00:04:12.380
still presented itself as a strong episode with a real lesson about learning to grow up

00:04:12.380 --> 00:04:14.300
and facing adult responsibilities.

00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:16.560
Which can be scary at times, but not the worst thing in the world to do.

00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.660
This one might hit the average 18-23 year old brony decently hard.

00:04:19.660 --> 00:04:22.240
It's also nice to see this take-charge Fluttershy

00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.160
Though it's a little isolating to see her like this throughout the whole episode

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:27.160
I guess the Breezies taught this child well.

00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:57.380
