They’re the ones who saw Trixie bragging and said, “you ain’t hot shit, I’M hot shit!” and then were proven wrong. No no-keep on that train of thought, but make her French again…Īnyways, AJ, Rarity, and RD deserved to get shown up like that. They’re all quick to anger over Trixie’s showboating (dude, it’s a show, just fucking watch it or go home), and of course they all give in to Trixie’s calls for a challenge. I can only guess that Andrea Libman was out sick when they recorded the episode or something), because Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash get to suck ass in this episode. The only decent things to come out of this episode’s dialog are the revelation that unicorns have a limited amount of magic pertaining to their talents (which blew my god damn mind on this rewatching because I didn’t remember that at all), and the French and Powerful Trixie.įluttershy and Pinkie Pie were lucky not to be in this episode (man does that feel weird. When you put any thought into the episode, some of this stuff is obvious-but it’s so fucking horribly written that it gives no real sense of what Trixie’s magic is or what she really does. (By the way, my favorite version of the events following this episode is the fanfic, The Great and Powerful Trixie Falls in Love With A Pine Cone.) Personally I doubt that Trixie is important enough to have news travel about her in a meaningful way, and as long as she stops using that lie to brag about, her talent is still interesting, and should still draw crowds. The fandom has made a million variants on her backstory (many of which are grimdark, naturally), and most versions of her story in the wake of this episode involve her name having been completely tarnished by the event in Ponyville. Trixie probably travels from town to town drawing the crowds. In a sense, both she and Twilight are unicorns whose power “is magic,” but in Trixie’s case it’s magic in the realistic sense (operated using magic of the fantasy sense), whereas Twilight’s magic is more like I Am God And Can Do Everything magic. Trixie’s cutie mark talent is that she’s a stage magician. Here are some observations about Trixie by the fandom that I consider canon. ![]() Trixie was the first character from this show to make me appreciate the character sub-fandoms perpetuated by fanmade content (as detailed here), and she’s still my favorite pony outside of the mane six. I’ve seen all of her facial expressions in countless videos and images, and heard all of her dialog sampled in countless songs and quoted in a hundred memes. Of the characters with speaking roles in this show that the fandom has taken off and run with, Trixie is the one who most bafflingly was transformed from this ridiculous character in this terrible episode into one of the most hilarious and lovable portraits of failure that I’ve ever seen.Įven though I watched this episode twice very early into my fandom and found it horrible both times, Trixie is as fresh in my mind as ever. Trixie is a horrible one-off character whose sole memorable traits are her amazing facial expressions and her obnoxious voice and dialog. But this is still the Trixie episode, so I cracked open a bottle of hard cider, watched the piece of crap, and here’s some words about it. ![]() ![]() It was written by Chris Savino, who’s only other episode was Stare Master (decent), and I think it’s pretty clear why. It is one of the worst episodes of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
