Talk:The Ending of the End - Part 2/@comment-1711382-20191014191909

This was even more epic than the first half. Equestria faced its darkest hour, with threats from without and within.

Discord tricking Tirek into accidentally freeing Starlight was clever, and staying behind to fend the villainous trio off while the Mane Five and Spike was a noble act, one that made up for his prior mistakes.

The Mane Six and Spike's last stand against the villains was quite a show, even if it didn't end well. But then the cavalry showed up, in the form of all the pony races and creatures, convinced to join the fight by the Young Six and some of Twilight's other students. And of course, that led to the biggest show of friendship power we've ever seen (enough to crack Grogar's supposedly indestructible bell). That entire scene was just amazing.

Pinkie temporarily gaining Discord's chaos magic was funny. And the villainous trio were dealt with once and for by being turned to stone. And it was a nice touch to have Twilight and her celebrate by going out for donuts, just like at the end of season 1.
