So how did the Changelings go from fighting off every threat to not wanting any part of violence in what seems to be a very, very, very short time span.

Cons:

>Thorax is still a fucking pussy
>Moral was shit
>Pharynx having to change despite being against it for some fucking long was contrived
>Last of the old-changelings is gone

I was annoyed that none of the other changelings transformed into anything to fight the stupid mole thing.
Especially Thorax, who we saw transform into a bear to defend Spike last episode. Hell, when they said that thing about the creature hitting itself I thought that Thorax was going to transform into it and have a good old fashioned mirror match with it, which was going to show his brother that having feelings doesn't necessarily make you a complete pussy (something that I think this show is kind of lacking, the idea that feelings make you weak is stupid and it's a nice lesson for kids to demonstrate that expressing your feelings doesn't make you weak).

Episode is 100% Trixie/Glimmer attics. They're hit or miss, but its more for the pile. Trixie is still an asshole and Glimmer constantly makes an ass of herself.

We haven't seen Changelings since they transformed and Chrysalis was overthrown. They're passively in 7th season's opening and Thorax was in Triple Threat. Thorax has shown himself to be a complete pussy. Most people hated how a concept of evil villains and minions was changed into pussy-ass pastel bughorses. Now that we finally get to see the nu-Changelings, they really are pussy-ass pastel bughorses, with their drama clubs, arts&crafts and hippy circles of feelings. Theres even one bughorse talking about how he/she/it doesn't know what color of pastel xhe wants to be, since xhe is green.

The edgy OC got a lot better with his choice of VA, and how he acts. I expected rebellious teen and got unemployed mall cop.

Looking at this chart, it seems that is the case

You can like a character all you want but just because they're there doesn't make an episode good, it just makes there part of the episodes good, and cherry picking good scenes from a shitty episode doesn't make a good episode

so what's the problem then?
some said the designs weren't that bad and the colours were super gay
now,it's completely the design

in which one do you choose in the end?

The board rates every episode more highly in general if anything. It's not like the show is getting better, yet poll scores continue to climb despite a steady decline in writing quality with occasional upticks. The board has always had cynics. You're just noticing them more now because the board is slowly dying, and the only people sticking around are said posters who continue to rate the show absurdly high just for existing, and those who are just sticking around waiting to see where it'll go.

Has the show ever done that before? Where the main protagonist of the episode deems the antagonist a lost cause?

I never argued that. When Thorax first transformed, they did not immediately come to his side. They needed convincing. The point is that they realized what they were lacking and are now reluctant to do anything similar to Chrysalis in fear of losing those freedoms.

It's just such a radical change. Going from one end to the complete other, it surprised me. Like mentioned >>30859887, they couldn't even really fight anymore.

I meant more that when they were under Chrysalis, I never got the impression that they were under a Dictatorship they hated. I just felt like she was their leader because that's what we saw, and they were fine being the way they were.

Literally one fucking line of dialogue from starlight had the entire hive transforming.

>>30859836
Not necessarily so. Pharynx did protect Thorax but it wasn't really "love" as much as just a brotherly bond. I think the writer(s) realized the paradox and that's why they added the "why are you hitting yourself" follow-up. As far as we know of the other Changelings, they were either dicks or indifferent. And Thorax himself, he's the only guy where being genuinely kind makes sense.

A bear would probably have been ineffective when you consider a magic beam couldn't really do anything, nor could Pharynx who transformed himself and was ineffective.

I'm also not sure the Changeling army wanted to harm the monster. Notice how their plan was initially to just bait it away. Even when they helped out Pharynx they didn't touch it much

Pharynx always kind of respected the other Changelings like you love your annoying siblings, he just hated their new sissy attitude. It wasn't until the entire hive suddenly respected and accepted him that he felt true kindness and gave in.

The nu-lings hated him for being a cunt and bugging everybody which was something he did because he was fucking pissed at them for becoming pussies, now that the nu-lings are trying to grow some balls again they will get along better

Except Thorax himself literally says after the flashback that "Pharynx loves him in his own way".
There was clear love there anon, a bond itself implies love. And with that said, it seems like some Changelings did love each other and have bonds, which is something I didn't know.

I might make a new thread on this, because as I'm aware, sharing love and receiving it is what made Thorax transform, and what made the Changedlings. Weren't the Changelings already doing that in their own way, albeit on a smaller basis within themselves?

Annoyed that Pharynx transformed into ponyfied changeling the same as the rest of the hive. It'd been cooler (IMO) if he had kept the typical original changeling look, but just "aged" to make it more in line with Chrysalis's look but male.
>>
>>30860184
I think they took that into consideration but did a balancing act, hence why he looks like them, but is black/gray instead of a fruity fruit bowl color like the rest of them.

I just watched the episode. What the fuck was that weird "uh oh" sound after Pharynx revealed what Starlight's initial plan was?

And did Pharynx say that all the changelings wanted to be a "boy" except Thorax?

Trixie carried this episode in my opinion, and the brother wasn't that edgy as I thought he'd be seeing the preview. And I can see why they'd try and pair up Trixie with Starlight whenever they can, Trixie's personality's just so good while Starlight's just Twilight 2.0. All in all the episode wasn't bad, it was neat seeing the current state of the hive, a good 7/10 for me.

There's a difference between oppressive and subversive. Modern day Germany, and to a lesser extent Russia as well, are more subversive to their people than oppressive. Though...I suppose that is oppressive in and of itself as the end result.
>>
>>30860463
That doesn't make it any less true that Pharynx is Thorax' brother. Therefore, Thorax is allowed to refer to Pharynx as his brother.

Are you people unable to comprehend the English language?

Holy fuck, how did Kevin Lappin write Honest Apple and then turn around and write this Confalone-tier gold?
>>
>>30860931
He's a shitty mike and molly writer. The whole episode is filled with retardation.
>>
>>30861283
Applejack wasn't in it.
>>
>>30860898
He's saying that the distinction is so general as to be meaningless if it's true of all changelings. It's like saying, "I'm going to go meet Robert, a guy who is alive."
>>
isn't this the only episode without depiction of main six?
>>
>>30861325
But Honest Apple was just fucking retarded with it feeling like he just watched a few season 1 episodes, read AJ's old character description and wrote a generic sitcom episode that could have any characters substituted in. This episode took full advantage of every character's unique strengths and weaknesses while providing a compelling, well written story within the given world and character rules.
>>
>>30861367
It's the only episode with neither the Mane Six nor the CMC.
>>
>>30860931
I'd say he was a bit more direct and assertive than his previous ultragay doormat self.
>>
>>30861389
Better supervision maybe? But regardless, Applejack's barely changed since Season 1, if at all.
>>
>>30861475
Oh, and maybe simply time. We don't know when he wrote the first episode and when he wrote this one, maybe he had time to familiarize himself more with the material in between.
>>
>>30861389
Perhaps it was a case of rookie syndrome. Just needed to know the right way to do things, but the skill was always there.
>>
>>30861475
>>30861488
That's the most likely case. I'm guessing he waited until last minute to write the first episode and got more interested in the show for the next one. I really hate to see all these writers come and go so quickly. I hope McCarthy's writer incubator she talked about in the recent investor presentation actually makes the writers stick for years as it sounded like they were actually giving them a salary instead of going freelance.

This was the first episode of the entire series that didn't had any of the real protagonists on it.
>>
>>30861613
Bitch just didn't like the new color scheme. I don't see how anyone could consider that controversial.
>>
>>30861613
>>30861621
I think the whole Feelings Forum thing was a good take on continuing the politics we've already seen MLP. There's a very hands off approach to depicting political ideas in this show where it more acknowledges that they exist without telling the viewer what they should think. Nothing in this episode told you if the Feelings Forum was a complete good or completely bad thing, it just existed as a part of the new changeling culture, and there was just little details that allowed the viewer to make their own opinion on it. It's very similar to Joanna/Kristine episodes like Top Bolt where you've got a dysfunctional dependent relationship but it doesn't shift the blame to either pony. Or how Gauntlet of Fire has a typical plot about a girl wanting to be in a boy's sport but instead girls are already participating and it's nuanced enough to not make it about gender.
>>
>>30861682
Yep, they did it well

In that regard there isn't much to talk about. They wrote a thing and it hit the mark perfectly without making any hamfisted judgments regarding either side.

This whole episode was like that in this regard. Very well written and noncontroversial despite touching very lightly on some very controversial topics. They even kind of brought some wisdom to it in the end which is good too.

I don't have a whole lot too say besides that.

>>30861753
I dunno there have been a few episodes that have gotten at least 3 full discussion threads with 100 posts past the limit and then some this season, it seems we either get episodes that are good enough that there isn't much to talk about, so good there's a lot to talk about, or controversial enough that the discussion goes on for a while
I think that since all the episodes since the hiatus have been decent enough that there isn't much to talk about that it seems this way
though I do hope the discussion picks up a bit more later on this season
though this episodes discussion hasn't been half bad either, 1000 posts, 200ish posters over both threads, it probably would have been more IF WE GOT A FUCKING STICKY MODS REEEEEEEEEEE
>>

>>30861824
well,I give my point of view then
from what I've seen here,I expected a mixed episode

now,I've recently watched it calmly and...I don't know what to say
there's nothing controversial on here and it's surprising because normally organizing a society implies conflicts(aka politics)

Thorax was making the hive too gay and scared for their own good(Sweden Yes 2.0) and the contrast was his brother.I knew about the redemption form but it's refreshing that Pharynx KEPT the dark colours(for those who complained that dark = evil) and getting the new form.

He went from a black spot of the society to actually accept him and even admire his views on making the changeling hive a prideful and self defended one.Pharynx stays loyal to the hive and he has the same personality all the episode through.

His "redemption" is like a minister of defense and a leader for toughness.

I don't know what I'm doing here discussing politics on a children show but it's the most inoffensive approach I could ever imagine to them.

The characters...none of them were OOC and Trixie brought the fun parts,Thorax was more assertive this time and Starlight really had good dynamics with Trixie.

A very solid episode really.Not even mad about the transformation.

8/10
>>
>>30858982
You know Starlight plan could have backfired spectacularly.

what could have been, in all seriousness I did expect for a huge chunk of the Changelings to shift back, like half, maybe have Thorax make a mention of those who attended the Hugbox Central or whatever gay name he dubbed it were turning
I thought it would have been interesting to set up this dynamic of Changelings generally not being trustworthy and more interested in watching there own backs rather than others, whilst half or more stayed under Thorax whatever was left turned back and went to find Chrysalis, but hey fuck having interesting plot set ups right? we need to push these shitty designs and shill more episodes

Changeling disguise magic confuses me now, I used to think it was just them taking on the form of something back in the season 2 finale, but now it seems they gain the strength and abilities of the creatures they change into, it feels kinda overpowered and cheap.

>>30863519
>could have inherited Crystal Empire and Equestria if he wasn't a dick

I'd even call it a case where Thorax was pushing things far too one end of the spectrum, and it took Pharynx coming in to get them on a more even keel, including the need to be able to protect yourselves, and that it's OK to do so vs just violence for the sake of taking what you want.

Nuchangelings up to now have been very nervous about using force for anything, given they converted from a species that was all about forcibly taking what they needed from everyone else.

I really like the Starlight-Trixie dynamic. I don't know where the show is going with them, or with giving Glim Glam increasingly more episodes, which really does feel like turning FiM into The Starlight Glimmer Show, but it's a joy to see those two interacting together.

One thing I'm most curious about is Trixie's relation with magic. Is she good or bad at it? In ABU she seemed genuinely talented, but too much of an airhead to do anything with her ability, i.e. study some spells. In this week's episode, she seemed pretty incompetent, only able to use telekinesis to hurl a large rock at the star-nosed mole. If she appears in any more episodes, I hope she gits gud eventually.
>>
>>30865537
How was Trixie good at magic in ABU again? Anyway it seems that she has a decent knowledge in the fundamentals and specializes in stage magic. Stuff like self-teleportation or transmutation (this is something that Twilight was practising in one episode) are advanced stuff.
>>
>>30865558
The fact that she managed to teleport an entire magic chunk of solid crystal (has to weigh a ton) all the way to the spa. She's definately got some potential.
>>
>>30865571
Oh, yea. Seems like she has great potential but never had good mentoring, which is how she turned to the cheap art of stage magic in the first place. My guess is she was just focusing really hard on maintaining control over her spell. All in all a rock is still impressive; normal unicorns don't ever lift much more than the likes of a chair.
