11/10

>>30369491
Maybe not for crying, but probably for not feeling anything. Even hardened men can low-key enjoy a heartfelt chick flick type story from time to time.

Ironically it's not sentimental shows or movies like this that get me. I actually only shed a tear for dramatic war movies like the ending to Lone Survivor or Saving Private Ryan. A single manly tear with an Eagle's cry in the distance and Ronald Reagan comes down from heaven and touches my soul.

It was quite the personality change for a man who used to be so unyieldingly angry at everything to be able to walk right into Ponyville and apologize for everything he's done to his arch rival and unmet grandkids. That's not just the personality change of an old man who's come to regret what he's done. That's the personality change of a man who's been completely broken and had to build himself back up again and find a reason to go on living.

My heart shattered when I came to realize they were all speaking in past tense.

I mean it's always been assumed they were dead and there was that ending scene with the shooting stars but this episode.

I don't want to feel those feels anymore.

The tottaly ligit recap of this one should be interesting.

>>30380090
It's not assumed they're dead, it's confirmed they're dead and has been for a very long time.

Unless they decide to retcon this.

So it leaves more questions than answers. Especially the three Siblings. We know Jack at least was more or less mysteriously dropped off at a family gathering. Doesn't explain the other two.

>>30386284
There's no need to answer ALL the questions. Going out of your way to explain shit is how you get shitty sequels and shitty episodes with no focus (Dune sequels, anybody?).

Believe me, I wanna know those things too. But leaving them out is for the best.
