Princess Probz was not good. No explanation for the potions at all. I was thinking the first episode would be introducing the potions, maybe we'd see Potion Nova or something. But no, Pinkie just brings them out for no reason, to drink them like drinks? What does this accomplish? "Potions for everybody!" or whatever, you're just going to give your friends random potions for the fun of it? For no reason? Okay...? :lookround: Also when Pinkie Pie puffs up and explodes, and the ponies act like this is an average thing, and this is something that even we the viewers are supposed to understand...? That's also... obnoxious. XD When Applejack said something like "I missed this", this only makes sense for the already existing fans of MLP, who watched FiM and missed the cast, who came back to watch this. Out of context, for any other viewer, what is the joke? What exactly does she "miss"?
Very loud. The jokes were decent but I don't like the obnoxiousness of the characters. Celestia was probably the best part of the episode. Ponies are doing things over-the-top, as loudly as possible, for no reason. The concept of a silly comedy-based MLP show is fine I think, and like I said there are good jokes, but it's just so... obnoxious! There's no other word! Why did Rarity scream and faint after seeing her reflection in that pan (or pot or whatever)? Why did Twilight get so startled from landing in that batter? Just for the sake of the cat gag? Pinkie said "flan" was fun to say, but did she have to scream it? And maybe it's just me but the "haha the ponies have to eat a lot and now they're fat ;)" joke is kinda... weird? If you know what I mean...? :lol:
The Best of the Worst was better. Kinda boring, but okay. The message of being a good sport is nice. Not as loud and obnoxious as Princes Probz. Hardly any potions here. There weren't any potions in Princess Probz either other than the telepathy one, which is useless since you could've just told the exposition normally? Again, I thought potions would be more like plot devices, here they just barely count as one-off jokes. I guess things can change in future episodes.
I saw two instances of Rainbow Dash's tail going missing in The Best of the Worst, didn't notice any others. No doubt they exist, though.
Onto the good things... uh... title cards! Pretty cool, huh? Kids like title cards, right? I do. :P Background music was alright.
The flanderization of the characters doesn't bother me so much since they weren't any deeper in FiM imo. Here they can have one personality trait and it works fine for the most part, it's a comedy, I don't have to take it so seriously. FiM, relatively, is more serious, I'm supposed to take the characters more seriously, and someone like Rainbow Dash just isn't likeable in a setting like that. Know what I mean?
Hope I've articulated myself correctly on my issues with it, I have a headache. Unrelated to the show, of course. :lmao:
