Hello everypony, Comic Sans here.
I decided to come back and do a review of the next comic.
I...I hope you're happy to see me.
So after my last review, I realized I need to be aware of the spelling of the random text that appears alongside my review.
Well...technically I don't have to.
My brother, Text Typer, has to,
He's the disembodied text...
I guess I should explain.
I was born during the Discordian Era of Equestrian History.
As a result to the immense amount of chaotic magic at the time
My horn...is made out of glass. Hence, why it is broken...
This gives me little to no control over my magic.
When I sneeze, a burst of chaotic magic is released.
Long story short, I sneezed near my brother once and now he is disembodied text.
He can be any font he wants,
but he mocks me by being comic sans.
If I could fix it I already would have!
You know it could be worse, you get to silently commentate on my review.
There is no need to resort to name calling!
While my brother and I work this out, here is the "Spoiler Alert."
The Video you are watching has a tendency to spoil things. Specifically the events in the IDW My Little Pony comic series. Viewer discretion is advised.
Even if I were to sneeze right now there is no telling what will happ-a-ahh-AAA-CHOO! (magic sound)
Good...nothing bad happened.
Wait...
(off screen to the right) AAAAAAH! MY COLORS HAVE INVERTED! AHHHH! THIS IS HORRIBLE!
Well, I might as well get to the actual review of the "The Return of Queen Chrysalis" part 2...here's hoping I sneeze again.
So this comic has art by Andy Price again.
Like I said last time: IT. IS. AMAZING.
But you are here for a review of the plot, not the art.
So this comic picks right back up where the privies issue left off.
The mane 6 has set out to rescue the CMC from this sinister Changeling Kingdom.
On their quest
They have to travel though a mountain because not everypony has wings.
Again, this happens before alicorn Twilight,
and even then Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity wouldn't be able to fly.
So they enter a former diamond dog mine.
Where Twilight proceeds to tempt fate and enter...CAVE TROLL BRONY!
So in order to get away from the Cave Troll Brony
Rarity whips up an accurate representation of Hasbro's My Little Pony Dolls.
I kid, I kid. Rarity's dolls are actually a whole lot better than Hasbro merchandise.
Speaking of Hasbro merchandise...
Sweetie Belle reminds you that she would make a great toy and you should go out and buy her.
I mean, that's what I picked up from this panel right here.
So they move on deeper into the mine.
Twilight, apparently not learning her lesson about tempting fate from earlier, tempts it once again.
So some changelings cause a rock slide.
Dividing the mane six into their shipping pairs.
I had no idea Chrysalis was into shipping.
Though she is kind of taking drastic measures to force her ships together.
But to each their own.
Anyways, back to the story.
So the next few pages actually show the manipulative prowess of the changelings.
They actually manage to pit the mane 6 against each other by playing on their weaknesses.
It kind of makes them a more menacing enemy.
It shows they are capable of being sneaky.
Which was kind of poorly portrayed in the show.
Important side note:
ah-AAAH-AAAAAAH-AHCHOO! (Magic sound)
Huzzah! My colors have returned to normal!
But...I have antlers...
I CAN'T WIN CAN I?!
Anyways, as I was saying.
Important side note:
The mane 6 changelings don't have the glowing blue eyes.
Someone in the comments of my last video mentioned that the blue eyes
was supposed to be like Shinning Armor's brainwashing from "A Canterlot Wedding."
I would be inclined to believe you
If in the previous issue
it didn't show that all the ponies who had glowing blue eyes were pod-ponies.
Also, the CMC had glowing eyes and they were shown clearly replaced in part 1.
Also...RUN RAINBOW DASH! YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TURNED INTO CUPCAKES, DO YOU?!
Full disclosure...
I've never actually read cupcakes.
Or seen any of the videos that fanfic inspired.
But I do know it has to do something with Pinkie Pie in her Pinkameana form and Rainbow Dash.
Also, cupcakes.
Continuing with the story.
So the disgruntled ponies all meet back up and encounter an arachnophobic's worst nightmare.
I'm arachnophobic, this would be my worst nightmare. Princess Luna can confirm that.
Anyways, just when all hope appears lost
Pinkie Pie shows up with...TROLL BRONY...to save the day.
and they exit the cave.
Once outside...the ponies resume their arguments.
For some reason...
it seemed like in the previous engagement they forgot about their arguments,
but apparently they did not.
and they split back up into their shipping pairs.
Which is a bad plan because only one pair actually has a map!
As Rainbow Dash points out so eloquently in this panel.
To Be continued...
I actually didn't really like this part.
Not nearly as much as the last part anyways.
It felt like a filler comic.
And honestly, it probably was.
The plot was very weak.
They enter the mine, encounter Troll Brony, escape, get separated, get angry, rejoin, fight spiders, split up again.
If you boil it down they are basically just walking.
The entire comic!
It is Lord of the Rings
Ponified!
The only thing this comic has going for it is: The art...which is amazing...
and..uh..the better characterization of the changelings and how they can be manipulative.
Anyways, here are some of my favorite facial expressions from this comic
I would give this comic
an abysmal 3.5/10 Cave Troll Bronies.
Because it really lacked in plot and felt very unneeded.
AH-AAHH-AHCHOOO! (Magic Sound)
Oh, good my antlers have seemed to dis appeared.
Shit shit shitshitshishitshitshishitshit! Now the gravity has been turned off!
Tell me in the comments below if I should continue making videos or go suffocate in outer space.
Which may very well happen...
I'm Comic Sans and I'll see you next time (trails off)!
