Featured review
A nice way to start off the season
The 8th season of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic has now begun, and sure enough there was a lot to take in. The season takes place immediately after the events of the My Little Pony Movie, so not only do we have a whole other world to now explore, but also new creatures.
In order to spread the learnings of Friendship throughout and beyond Equestria, the mane 6 decide to open up and entirely new school for that purpose, where many other races (including ponies) will be attending in the hopes of learning the meanings of friendship.
It was interesting to see a new group of mixed characters be brought into the show since all of them were of a race we had already come to meet and understand. We have another new pony named Sandbar, a griffin named Gallus, a yak named Yona, a dragon named Smolder, a changeling named Ocellus, and one of the newest races to the show a Hippogriff/Seapony named Silverstream.
I really did like how the show began to develop a "Team Avatar" (reference to Avatar The Last Airbender) sort of friendship where we have a group of friends who are all from completely different races working together to succeed in their goals. Seeing as how this has never happened in the show before, it should be interesting to see the further development of this group and how their relationships with one another will play out.
The only issue I really had with these episodes were the pacing of it, mainly since most of the scenes felt rather rushed into getting straight to the point. But to be fair, I suppose it's only natural when you're trying to introduce a whole bunch of new things at once to further progress the rest of season.
As for the Mane 6 (along with Starlight as a resourceful Guidance Counselor), it was interesting to see some relatable topics come into play when it came to the methods of teaching they were all forced to follow under through the "EEA" (Equestria Education Association). But nevertheless, we can see that the struggles eventually pay off as they realize that using your own methods can often be better than following what's typically required from someone else entirely.
Overall, this was a very nice opening to the new season. The show's atmosphere felt like any usual episode, and many of the new surroundings and characters were well liked and fairly original. In the near future, it should be nice to see what the rest of season 8 has to offer with these new elements put into place.
