Talk:28 Pranks Later/@comment-24864975-20160814021840

Does anyone else feel that something would've been more enjoyable without the synopsis? That's kinda how I felt; that if I had gone into the episode without even knowing the synopsis, this would've been a little more fun. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoyed this at all; in fact, I felt that this was pretty good. I'll admit, there are things that could've made this a little better, like starting out having the pranks be fun for Rainbow and her victim, and then during the montage, have her pranks grow increasingly mean-spirited, and having her cookie prank be even more shocking that what it ended up being. I'm sorry, but cookies that make your mouth become rainbow-colored is less funny as a prank and more appealing as a treat (seriously, who wouldn't want to eat a cookie that could do that?). Oh, yes! And having Starlight Glimmer join the fun! I mean, really, for somepony who was suppose to join the Mane cast, she sure is absent a lot, even in episodes where she really should be at least there! But, on that note, I think this was less Mysterious Mare Do Well 2.0 and more Mysterious Mare Do Well done correctly (not that I found much wrong with that one). The problem was addressed to Rainbow, suggestions were made, and the entire town chipped in, including the Cake Twins (was Mr. Cake at the dentist after biting that brick sandwhich?). Plus, the replacement of "Brains" for "Cookies" was a really funny portayal of the classic zombie movies, especially for a kids' show. I also found the "shy" Pinkie Pie to be and interesting development, as well as Fluttershy getting into the act after what she said in Scare Master, and Scootaloo actually participating in scaring her own idol. So overall, a good episode, clever pranks (except for the cookies), and a very important moral. Now let's hope next Saturday comes quickly before we all become candy-colored zombies moaning "Ponies! Changeling! Kevin!"
