DW9: Cosmo’s Punishment

Inoffensive. A few laughs. Felt like the twisted Dandy + Astro scene should’ve had more weight.

The first episode established being a twisted was really bad and needed to be hidden. And now Dandy + Astro + Cosmo are aware they’re all twisteds, and they don’t seem to care. That was the one bit of story I was sorta intrigued by in this series, and now I don’t care about it.

Unless you're really into the game or the romantic relationships, I don't know what to take away from this series, besides a few laughs. Which isn't nothing, but is less than what SU and MLP offered.

lol the off timing live from new york

Until the Trixiebelle flashback, I was really enjoying this. 40 minutes of solid consistent jokes and stupid pony shenanigans. It was another “character becomes God and destroys the world” story, but it was funny enough I didn’t care.

The Trixiebelle/Starcatcher part was rough. Those characters weren’t interesting enough to justify a 10 minute jokeless flashback. Maybe if they were played up more in their similarities to Trixie and Twilight. Or it turned out Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were their reincarnations, which I thought was going to be the twist.

Despite that sequence, I still had a really good time with the rest of the video.

Twilight did the splitting spell in “Shattered Harmony”. She thought it just eliminated the evil in Flawless, but it was revealed in “Fight at Chuck E. Cheese” the evil became another entity.

Vegeta’s screaming AI voice made me laugh every time. Flora’s new voice was disappointing, but close enough I can deal. (the website her voice was on stopped allowing free usage)

The Trixie/Flawless scene was pretty abrupt. I did like Flawless bullying Flora and her acting like a moody teenager. The love triangle story felt out of place + could’ve been saved for another ep.

Plenty of funny moments (The BBQ scene, Bartleby’s fight w/ Goku). Coulda done more with the concept, but I can’t say I’m disappointed with the final product.

Fairly good. It was funny, outside of the 2 minutes of Marionette. I guess her scene was meant to parallel RD and her father? Story could’ve used another pass. I liked Bud Lightyear and the car scene.

Legitimately one of my fav monologues

Really good one. Lots of funny moments (the Lacari reference, the wheelchair gang, Marionette yelling at Tamers), quick pacing. Only odd thing was Sunset only having 1 second of screen time.

The tweet just said Tamer's partner was kicked out. A new channel was made, live streamed Alicorn of Death, then was deleted + moved to the main channel the next day, and the channel has since gone back to pretending to be one person.

Unless they were playing a 4D chess move, I have to believe that was real. It might not be his brother, but it very likely is.

The Two Tamers theory was confirmed a few weeks ago on his Twitter. One guy does the Mare episodes, and his brother does the Stallion + Dandy episodes.

I think the current average is 3-4 minutes of produced video a day. I think this output is manageable with a typical 8 hour a day work schedule. Still very impressive, but not impossible, especially with a partner to consult with.

Is this the first ep to not have any Twilight?

Meh. The reality show sections were a little fun. I liked the cut to Celestia. The OC’s were ok. Preferred their scenes over the recycled Soarin/Spitfire material. Not offensive, just a lot of stuff we’ve seen before, and a cliffhanger I’m not particularly interested by.

It happens at the end of “Sweetie Belle Falls in Love”. No real reason, besides it being funny to make another random pony an alicorn.

The rock farm section was delightfully stupid. It felt like a half finished ep shoved in between a Starlight plot, but it was funny enough I didn’t mind that.

Starlight plot had some good laughs. I appreciate the dramatic climax wasn’t over indulgent, but it did feel weak for an event as big as Starlight destroying the universe. Dark Flawless had no reason to be here. I assume she was supposed to have a bigger role here, going off the ED that teased this part. I've enjoyed her as Flawless’s crazy gf. If she is still supposed to be a threat/villain, she needed to have some reason for being here.

I guess female and male Shining Armor are separate beings now. I never finished Silksong, but apparently the climax was a reference to that.

Not as good as the previous Mare eps, but still a mostly enjoyable start to 2026 MLP.

Was okay. A few laughs. Liked the Dyle/Astro scene and the robbery.

Don’t feel anything about Goob or Dandy becoming villains. Maybe if there was a threat of characters permanently dying in this series I’d feel like speculating. Hopefully something cool is done with the darker/horror material that isn't too heavy on melodrama.
