Nicole Oliver's lovely singing was the focus at the time, though! I know some have mixed feelings about "MMC" because of what it led to later in the show's run. Twilight saying a spell "to see what it did" was pretty stupid, but seeing Celestia bowing to her was quite a moment – although the actual "alicorn reveal" moment has inevitably lost some of its impact now. This desperately needed 44 minutes rather than 22, especially for the cutie mark stuff, but Larson did a surprisingly good job with so little time to play with. The actual story? Interesting but very, very compressed. That aspect, at least, was an unambiguous triumph. The songs are mostly excellent, and "A True, True Friend" may be my favourite FiM song of them all – it has a wonderful message, and that "PINKIE!" is pure joyous delight. Few people were unspoiled as to Alicorn Twilight's imminence by this time, so the biggest surprise was the full-on musical nature of the episode. Thoughts: And here we are at last! When this finale first aired, we still didn't know whether there'd ever be another episode of Friendship is Magic, though we were all relieved to finally see the end of the fandom's miserable months-long Twilicorn Wars. Pick up the HQ version for $1 on SlyphStorm's Bandcamp.ĭerpy finally making a clear (if very brief) S3 appearance was a huge deal at the time I'm happy that the final entry in this series is one whose popularity I can get behind. But I'm almost certain it would have made my top ten. Would I have placed it first? I'm not sure. However, if you let all that wash over you a little, it's just a great piece of music. Indeed, this is a very grimdark song indeed if you know its background and concentrate on the lyrics.
By 2013, therefore, "Pegasus Device" was able to be much blunter and more brutal in telling its own take on the story.
Something interesting is that WoodenToaster's song wasn't specific about the nature of the horrors that went into making rainbows, but then the fanfic appeared. It's a follow-up to WoodenToaster's 2011 classic "Rainbow Factory", taking certain musical cues and (at the end) even whole lines from the older song, but with slick presentation and notably high production values. This is the one that was voted top of the 2013 Pony pops. SlyphStorm took third place in this Top 100, but that was only his second most popular song.
