Hey, everypony, welcome to the moon.
You're probably wondering how I ended up here.
Oddly enough it wasn't because I sneezed or got on Celestia's bad side.
So as is pre-established in my second review, whenever I sneeze a random, chaotic spell is cast.
Unfortunately, there is an even more chaotic nature to my magic.
If I do actually cast a spell, it typically has unintended side effects.
Case and point, being sent to the moon.
So I had just made the original opening to this video (slowly fades out)
(slowly fades in) Even though I gave the previous part a horrible score
I'm still actually excited for this review.
Because I'm going to try some new special effects.
This should be fun.
But first, the "Spoiler Alert."
This is a "spoiler alert." Its purpose is to warn you of the possible spoilers in this video.
Wether or not you pay attention to this "spoiler alert." These spoilers will happen.
If you don't like spoilers, do not watch this video. "Spoiler Alert" is now over.
So without further ado, lets continue with the next part of...
"THE NIGHTMARE RARITY ARC!"
As with the previous part, the Story is by Heather Nufher and the art is by Amy Mebberson.
So this comic picks right back up where the previous comic left off.
the re-mane 5, Luna, Celestia, and Spike gather in a field outside of Ponyville to travel...
"TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
So Celestia's well thought out plan for getting them to the moon is by lassoing it and pulling it closer.
"What is it you want Marry? What do you want? You, you want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down."
Anyways, the re-mane-ing non-pagasi mane six and spike tight rope walk
While Luna, Rainbow and Futtershy fly along beside them.
Celestia is staying on the planet to prep Ponyville for the inevitable battle with the nightmare forces.
Unfortunately, Spike is too over eager to save Rarity and causes the rope to snap.
Who else saw that coming a mile away?
Luckily, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Twilight's Magic, and Luna's Magic are there to catch everypony.
Also, I really like the nod to "Secret of My Excess" with Spike's fire Ruby.
But this entire arc is supposedly taking place before "Luna Eclipsed."
"Secret of my Excess" came out after "Luna Eclipsed"
I guess the writer be like "What's continuity? I don't know the definition of that word."
Does this comic canonize the fan theory that the episodes are not presented in chronological order?
Or is it just a major oversight by whoever was supposed to revise this comic?
or whoever wrote it?
But that's just one slight oversight.
I'm sure it won't happen again.
Getting back to the review, everypony is safly guided to the moon's surface.
Hey, Text.
Since they're on the moon, maybe we should be too.
Well. Text, I'm glad you asked.
Since you had the back wall painted green, it can now function as a green screen!
Come on, come on. Work magic work...
Come on, I can do this. I can do this! I CAN DO THIS! COME ON!!
FUCK!
I thought I could do that spell!
That's it! REVIEW OVER!
(off to the right) Have to write that green screen part out of the script.
(off to the right) It was stupid anyways.
(off to the right) No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, no.
I'm leaving it in!
The review was 20% cooler with it in there.
I just need a little more practice.
I'll upload my review later than I normally do.
What do you want, Text!
Oh...crap...
(fades in) and now you are at the now.
"What the hell am I looking at?"
"When does this happen in the movie?"
"Now!"
(confusing diolgue)
Well, it looks like I have no choice, but to finish the review from here.
So they make it safely to the moon.
And I'll excuse the fact that they can breath on the moon, it is a fantasy setting.
Why not?
So Luna tells them that the creatures of the moon have been taken over by the nightmare forces.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the moon, the Nightmare Forces continue trying to break Rarity
until she lets them take over her body.
And unfortunately, they succeed...
Back with everypony else, they get surrounded by the Nightmare forces and get trapped a a dark cloud.
Which puts them into an endless nightmare.
Oddly enough, Luna and Spike are the only ones not effected.
It is then up to them to save the others.
First they save Twilight from a dream where she believes she has failed Celestia.
This is followed by saving Rainbow from a dream where she belies she can't fly.
They then head into Pinkie's subconscious and save her from a dream where she can not find a joke to make a crowd laugh.
Next they save Fluttershy where all of her furry creatures are surrounding her claiming that she hurt them.
And finally they save Applejack from a dream where she has failed Sweet Apple Acres
and it died because of her poor care
Wow, deja vu. Those dreams are pretty much just rehashes of their nightmares from the first part.
How original?
Now freed from their endless nightmares, it is revealed the they are too late
Rarity is no more, there is only Nightmare Rarity.
"There is no Dana, only Zuul."
To Be Continued...
Wow, this comic was rather short.
Apparently, with the 4 part arcs,
They start out..ehh...ok
but then completely fail to deliver.
This comic gets a worse score than part 2 of the previous arc.
It gets 2...
TWO
Nightmare possessed moon creatures out of 10.
There was no reason for this to be its own part.
They go to the moon and Rarity becomes Nightmare Rarity.
Only 2 important events that happen in the entire comic!
You wanna know how you can tell there is bad story telling in something?
When it is already a filler part of there story,
and there are filler events that mean absolutely nothing to the overall plot.
The tightrope shenanigans and getting trapped in their nightmares again
ARE UNIMPORTANT EVENTS!
They didn't need to happen.
The overall story remains the exact same without them.
Clearly Luna was able to telekinetically take them to the moon
So they could have used that from the beginning.
And if they're going to do the nightmare thing again
IT COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT NIGHTMARES, JUST TO KEEP IT INTERESTING!
But aside from, I think , Fluttershy's and the events of Rainbow's, they were the same nightmares.
AGAIN! They already showed those nightmares!
(sigh) Its just crappy story telling at its finest.
But that is just My 2 Bits on this comic.
Tell me your 2 bits in the comments below.
Or suggest a possible "spoiler alert" for a future review.
And also, don't forget to like and subscribe.
Anyways, I'm Comic Sans
and I will see you next time for the review of "Nightmare Rarity" part 3.
Now, how in the hell am I going to upload this?
I don't think there is internet on the moon.
