Thank goodness, I thought the time change was for last week's. I'll make sure not to make the same mistake this time, lol.

Apparently, they were right. Her canon personality destroyed fanon. I almost can't wait for the end of the episode when she's more adjusted.

I can see why she hasn't made an appearance before now.

I like how they kept Luna's speech with the traditional way like it would of been a thousand years ago giving the impression she has a lot of catching up to do.
What I don't get is if they have a holiday dedicated to NNM, how come nopony recognized her in the first episode?

I think I'll actually wait to watch this one 'til later tonight. It seems a bit wrong to watch a Halloween episode in the harsh light of morning.

Valid point, but I'm to impatient to wait that long.

Princess Luna sure was different to how the fandom has depicted her. I predict a lot of fans not liking it.
Personally, I think I'm OK with how she was potrayed. She's been banished to the moon for a thousand years so her social skills are going to be lacking. Add to the fact that most ponies will be asleep when she's awake then that leaves little room for social interaction. She's a princess and thinks that she has to behave in the traditional regal way, which unfortunately is quite scary to most ponies. It makes sense, if she has always been that way, why she got so angry in the first place and became NMM. All in all I'd say it was a great episode and I found myself laughing a lot throughout, mostly at Chickie Pie and her antics. The Derpy cameo was great (though anyone who saw the spoiler saw it coming). Pipsqueak was cute and needs to make an appearance again. I'm disappointed that Rarity didn't make an appearance at all. Her dress making skills would've been perfect for making an awesome costume. Though I suppose there wasn't really any need for her in the story. Poor Fluttershy. Nightmare Night is probably the worst night of the year for her (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif) -------------------- |

She's hard to understand with her Traditional Royal Voice.
She has aspects of fanon. Prankster, maladjusted, she became a bit timid... I missed a lot of Twilight's dialog walking into town during the streaming which was much easier to pick-out in the youtube. And Derpy appearing one place then appearing inside something else is now canon. The CMC had background roles, overshadowed by Pip, but it's nice they at least had one scene together.

I'm left with more questions than answers. Is Luna's lack of tact just a consequence of continuing younger sibling syndrome? I can't imagine Celestia didn't warn her; did she just ignore the advice? Where did this holiday even come from, considering nopony even recognized her in the pilot? Why does everypony--except Pinkie Pie, whose own lack of tact is just because she thinks she's being played--react with such fear to the Luna that they already saw transformed as if she was still NMM? And what were Celestia and Luna doing all those many years ago that ponydom had apparently failed to discover "fun" in her time?
And for all that, Luna is "fixed" in one night? I'll need to rewatch it after taking some time to think about it. There was some nice animation, and I really enjoyed the variety of the costumes. The story didn't seem entirely consistent with the world we are aware of, and even Luna's character seems flawed in a way her older sister isn't. And the Derpy cameo seemed a bit forced. |
