Right... where the hell do I begin with Season 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic? There is so much to say about this year's season it can't all be said all at once, so I'm going to do this whole thing in sections. I'm going to give my opinion of the final episode (The Wedding) and an overall opinion of Season 2 itself.

The Wedding Finale :

After seeing so much hype for the finale of Season 2, I was expecting a massive send-off after many of the disappointing episodes of Season 2. The team behind the show must have thought of a massive great big idea after so many episodes and planning with their marketing and publicity. Possibly the whole Brony fan-base was starting to get riled up with the whole idea and the addition of the new Princess and Shining Armor (Don't worry, I'll get to them soon.) and even the idea of a wedding in Equestria was pleasing and interesting if done in the right way. I was sort of hyped for the final episodes knowing how good the finale in Season 1 was and how it all slowly built up for a massive climax at the end, it was really good.

During the time of the episodes airing I wasn't able to watch them due to my computer haven't slight problems, but when I got onto the internet I managed to catch up with the episodes I missed and I began to watch the two-part episodes. And after watching them… I was heavily disappointed on how the entire finale was handled.</i>

I'm going into sections on what I think of the characters, I'm not going to do the songs. (I thought the songs sucked, end of story.)

1. Shining Armor.

Shining Armor… is… well… pleasant… I guess… okay… let me start over again… Shining Armor is as pleasant as a toothpick during a tooth ache; the two-part finale is the first time that we have heard of Twilight's brother. We know that she had a father and a mother from the start of it all in season 1, but we just NOW learn that Twilight has an older brother and she never mentioned it to her friends or during the show what so ever? What the hell? Is that some cheap/forced writing or what?

Shining Armour's voice was really unexpected, when I first saw an image of Shining Armor on Google Images I immediately thought of someone with a mature and deep voice for a respectable looking pony as him. After I was told that he was one of the Royal Guards it was set in stone that I thought his voice was going to be deep and very strong. But no… we got a pre-teen surfer dude doing the voice of a respectable-looking pony. I was totally disappointed on who chose the voice for the guy that did the voice for Shining Armor, they could have atleast got someone who didn't sound like a damn druggie surfer.

I don't have any problems with his design at all; he looks pretty cool for a captain of the Royal Guards.


2. Princess Candice

I wasn't really that excited about the fact of another princess being in the show, I imagined that Celestia and Luna were the only Alicorn/Pegacorn's in the whole land, but then Hasbro and the creators of the show decided to jump the shark and bring in another princess who doesn't really have any job in looking after the whole land.

First thing I don't like about her is that we don't know her real talent, she looked after Twilight when she was a little filly, but it wasn't set in stone that was her special ability at all. (Love doesn't count, what about her real job? If Celestia and Luna take care of the Sun and Moon, then what is Cadence's princess role? She doesn't deserve to be a Princess.) She is able to use magic but that's all we see from her when it comes to powers of special abilities, Celestia and Luna are princesses and they have jobs to complete like looking after the land and making sure the sun and moon are in their respective places in the right time of the day, Candice on the other hand doesn't really have a job that was explained other than be given the princess title to make her look cute for the kiddies. But the funny thing is that Lauren Faust herself designed Cadence to NOT be a Princess, but the team that made

I didn't have a problem with her voice nor did her design other than looking like a fruit-cake dip in pink icing.


3. Queen Chrysalis

This has got to be the WORST villain I have ever seen in a cartoon. Period.

Cliché, Generic, Boring and Stupid. Not to mention going with the Disney tradition of Princesses being good and Queens are evil.

However after very little screen-time and only a few minutes of seeing her at the end she is apparently "badass" and the "best villain ever".

…

Open your fucking eyes… Jesus… that's the only thing I am going to say.


4. Lack of Twilight and Shining Armours parents.

Don't you atleast think because their son is getting married they would atleast help out and talk to their son? I was pretty pissed at how Twilight's parents were tossed to the side of a small cameo, their son is getting married and we don't get to hear their reaction of how it all goes and what they think of the Princess? That was a pretty terrible move; you think their parents do that all the time? It's Twilight's birthday and she gets no cards from them or even a letter asking how she is when she is in Ponyville

5. Lack of Character Development

Oh boy, new characters. They need backgrounds and good personalities if they are going to be likable… nope… spend all that time on useless songs and filler before the villain's main entrance. That's all I got to say on that.

6. Lack of Luna.

I don't have to say anything, the title tells you.
