I certainly did enjoy this comic, particularly in that Katie and Andy portray Chrysalis as the unapologetic, ruthless monster we fell in love with back in A Canterlot Wedding. If you want my full thoughts, check out my review: http://magicman001.deviantart.com/journal/Fiendship-is-Magic-5-529891469 However, there are some discussion points I'd like to bring up here, and love to hopefully hear people's thoughts on: * I think Chrysalis and changelingkind's Aku origin is especially good because of the ambiguity it leaves. As I said before, just how many changelings emerged from the ooze? Thousands, maybe even millions. By the time Chrysalis EARNED her Queenhood by conquering Timbucktu, had they already splintered into multiple kingdoms or colonies throughout the world? There's possibly MANY of changelings out there, some just as evil, but hopefully others who are good or at least neutral. *The holes in the changelings' legs are a result of Celestia's magic. So... can it assumed that the holes have now have become a genetic trait passed down through changeling generations? Or maybe even grimmer... they are now burned into new young changelings limbs, perhaps as a rite of passage? It'd be just like how the Huns cut the cheeks of their infants so they learned to endure wounds from a very early age. Jesus, what's wrong with me...? *From what I've seen here and in the first arc of the comics, the way the changelings operate seems very similar to that of a militarized, barbarian horde like the Huns as mentioned above. This would make sense when, going off tvtropes on standard Fantasy Governments, them being The Horde compliments Equestria who are The Kingdom or The Empire.Show less
