My Feeling on the Last MLP show (Rage Rant Warning!!!)
10 years ago
Well since we are coming into a two week dry period (17 days by ED's counter at the time of this post) I wanted to get my feelings out on how I feel about what was to me a very, VERY under used episode, "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone"
Now this is not just my feeling coming from that the last episode was so better in both story and use of charaters but wow it didn't help matters ether. Oh Celestia this show could have been SOOOOO much better is SOOOOO many ways if they just tried harder!
For a start the pairing if Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash to me just don't work and seeing as they havn't been paired together since Season 1 Episode 5 the last time Gilda was even on the show the writers all must be agreeing with me too. They don't feed off each other like Applejack & Rarity do, or even Applejack and Rainbow Dash. I know they are trying but it just fails within the first few minutes.
Now to the story in general. I do deeply enjoy that the series is branching out to new lands all over Equestria. It opens a lot of room for new OC, fic, vids, art, ect. So much for us Brony's and Pegasisters to work with. Its indeed a good thing and I am not against Griffonstone being a rundown place it shows it can really become something new maybe better with time and help, also KICK ASS BACK STORY! Of course it had Hobbit vibs all over it, but still great use of sorce material. I very much approve.
That being said I was not happy with the state of the Griffons. They where to much willing to just go about their lives as run down and well, shitty as it was and not trying at all to better their selves. Hell even in the Hobbit the Dwarves did try to make things a little better after Smuag took their homeland they didn't just say, "Well Dragons got the gold and the kingdom, nothing we can do anyone want to just stay here in this ruined shit of a city and mop with me?" No cause no matter what horrable thing happens I don't know anyone that would just go about living like that without atleast trying something to better themselves. Also the Griffons being over greedy jerks in a way reminded me of the Ferngy from Star Trek, but the Griffons took it so far that even they would tell them to "LAY OFF!"
I also noticed Gilda has a different voice Actress. I did kind of expect that. But it was just not as good. I really wish that had tried to find a better one of if they could get the original one back, just missed the mark on that one and it also hurt this story for me.
Now to the end of the show.....*Deep Breath*.....The one thing that REALLY got to me was the fact that it only took Baked goods.....BAKED GOODS....to being the thing that we are to believe will bring happiness and joy to all the Griffon Kingdom.....ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME?!?! >_<
So in the end I don't feel good about this show, so much possibility for ANYTHING better could have been placed here, but they went with the most dumbest of all possible ways to go. I feel if anyone wanted to pass on this show you won't be missing out on much unless you a real hard core Gilda fan I would say avoid this one.
Until Next time, Stay Pony my friends.

As for the baked goods, I think that was just Pinkie oversimplifying it. What was really going to fix things was them encouraging Gilda to spread generosity and kindness... maybe Rarity and Fluttershy should have done this. Anyway, if you'll recall, Gilda gave one of the new scones away for free as a gift, instead of demanding bits like every other griffon did. In return, she recieved a kind word. At the end we see Gilda and Greta enjoying them together. So it wasn't just 'good cakes make everything better' it was about the attitude behind it. Pinkie and Rainbow didn't help save the Griffon Kingdom just by teaching Gilda how to bake good scones. They did it by teaching her what it means to be a good friend, and she's spreading it to others. That's what I took from it anyway.
