2024-08-21 17:12:36 +0000 UTCMan, maud is becoming one of my favorite characters in the series. The creators making a character like her so lovable is amazing. Loooooved rarity this episode. She was perfect and that pairing went by so smoothly! Also loved her faces and expressions. Ahh yes I had a brain fart and didnβt recognize the cannon as one of her most prized possessions. But at the end of the day, this episode took a materialistic and sentimental approach with how to value or see gifts. As pinkie overrates the best present ever, itβs just because sheβs so damn grateful and loving. But seeing her beat up about it was super sad. And I think sewing would have taken up time since rarity was also looking for spots. Plus, it was the PERFECT bag so canβt do anything about that.

2024-08-21 05:34:46 +0000 UTC- Some notes/thoughts/facts: - "The Gift of the Maud Pie" is a play on "The Gift of the Magi", the story is also based on it. We get to see more of Manehattan! - And that with a gorgeous view of the cityscape! https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/e/e4/Manehattan_S6E3.png https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/5/58/A_statue_inspired_by_the_Statue_of_Liberty_S6E3.png The statue inspired by the Statue of Liberty is quite a sight... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/3/3b/Maud_and_Rarity_on_the_ice_skating_rink_S6E3.png The reference to the "Rockefeller Plaza" rink looks good. Ah i love this city, there is always so much going on... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/2f/The_street_of_Manehattan_S6E3.png Pinkie Pie: "Yep! I do separate trips with each one, and we make it super fun by picking a different location every year! We see the sights all day and then swap gifts at sunset! And since Maud's getting her rocktorate nearby, we figured this would be the perfect spot for PSSSD!" -> it would be funny to see a trip with Pinkie and Limestone (the grumpy one of her sisters). -> "rocktorate" instead doctorate π€£ https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/1/1d/Pinkie_Pie_giggles_nervously_S6E3.png Is this Bulk Biceps after he got out of prison? π https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/2/21/Manehattanites_look_at_Pinkie_Pie_S6E3.png we get to see quite some "ruffians"?, this seldom happened before π Maud Pie: "[deadpan] Boulder promised his cousin a postcard." π rock pouches are indeed the best gift for boulders... err, the one and only Boulder. Pinkie only has one cannon, i don't know where Pinkie always pulls it from, but my guess is: its always somewhere outside the frame behind the 4th wall and if its needed its just there ready to grab for her... its also funny that you asked about it in an episode that was just going into that very direction - are you a psychic? π And if you thought Pinkie was good at Ice Skating in "Winter Wrap Up" (S1E11): https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/5/56/Rarity_and_Pinkie_Pie_sees_Maud_ice-dancing_S6E3.png Maud just beat her to it - must run in the family it seems π Rarity: "Pinkie, put down that crayon! The Cantering Cook isn't that kind of restaurant!" - What restaurants are there that a crayon would be okay? π€ Who would have known... there is a police in MLP, thought guards where the only force of order here π https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/e/e6/Pinkie_Pie_%22it_just_can%27t_be%21%22_S6E3.png Thats btw. a very unnatural pose for a Pony... https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/e/ef/Pinkie%2C_Maud%2C_and_Rarity_in_a_jewelry_store_S6E3.png i love Rarity's style here! - It also a reference to "Holly Golightly" from the 1961 film "Breakfast at Tiffany's.": https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/Breakfast_at_Tiffany%27s_%281961_poster%29.jpg At the Jewelery shop: Maud Pie: "[deadpan] [hushed] Boulder says they're all too... stuck-up." π€£ Oh noooo... there it is again! https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/a/a2/Maud_Pie_looking_at_Twilicane_S6E3.png The Twi-cane! And was this the "inspiration Manifestation" (S4E23) Spell-book? π± https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/7e/Maud_Pie_looking_at_stone_spell_book_S6E3.png And here is "Smarty Pants" from "Lesson Zero" (S2E03)... luckily without the "i want it, need it spell": https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/b/b7/Maud_Pie_looking_at_Smarty_Pants_S6E3.png Maud Pie: "[deadpan] [calling out] Boulder. Boulder. Where'd you run off to?" - I sometimes get the feeling that Boulder is 4th-wall material itself... "Couldnt you just buy a new cannon" - Well would you like it to part from one of your most important belongings? https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/4/4d/Rarity_bouncing_around_like_a_pinball_S6E3.png π€£π€£ https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/d/d6/Rarity_%22you_gave_away_your_cannon%3F%21%22_S6E3.png "You gave away your cannon?!" - This was truly my face when it happened! Pinkie Pie: "Well, I finally got Maud a gift that's just as good as the ones she always gets me, and that's all that really matters." - no its not! It shouldn't be... gifting is no competition, especially if its someone you love! It had to be a present for Pinkies cannon! - Thats kinda bittersweet... Its funny how active (and still hilariously deadpan) Maud gets if its about her sister... she even begins to do the same 4th wall physics breaking stuff like Pinkie does... π - She also has a sense for...well...good question what it is about π€ I love how Rarity is translating Mauds deadpan actions here π€£ - I would get very anxious if she were looking into my Soul like she did here towards the cannon buyer, who seems to be inofficially named "Street Rat"... (oddly fitting): https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/7/73/Maud_Pie_requesting_a_return_trade_again_S6E3.png Also... there is someone familiar in the background... Suri Polomare, who was stealing Rarity's designs and abusing Coco Pommel in "Rarity takes Manehattan" Maud Pie: "[deadpan] Pinkie, gift giving isn't a competition. It's an expression of love, and you always make sure to give your gifts with lots of love. That's why I'll always love them, and you, five-ever. That's even longer than for-ever." - its way to true and sugar-sweet... π₯° And Rarity finally got her new spot for her boutique "Rarity for you". Rarity: "Oh! Ohhh! Why, that's the sweetest... Oh, no. Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no. I know how good you two are at giving gifts! I'm going to have to get you both something amazing, and I only have a year to do it!" Pinkie Pie: "Oh, Rarity! It doesn't matter what you get us! As long as you give your gift with love, it'll be perfect!" - But we are still talking about Rarity here π Pinkie Pie: "Buuuut now that you mention it... I could use more confetti for my party cannon. You wouldn't believe how much of that stuff I go through in a day!" - I absolutely was wondering about that... π --- This episode was a delightful return to Manehattan, a city that never fails to captivate me with its vibrant energy and bustling background which is full of life. The city was depicted with so many background ponies, adding to the vibrant atmosphere that makes Manehattan so special. Also watching Rarity and Pinkie Pie navigate their unique quests - Rarity's search for a new boutique location and Pinkie's mission to find the perfect gift for Maud, while Maud was having some quality time with Pinkie - was both entertaining and heartwarming. The dynamic between Pinkie and Rarity was a pleasant surprise, with their chemistry shining through in every scene. Rarity was unusually hyper and silly, which contrasted with her usual sophisticated demeanor. While this was a bit out of character, it was refreshing to see her evolving into a more relatable and joyful pony, especially when revisiting a place she loves like Manehattan. Her enthusiasm for finding the perfect boutique spot while showing Pinkie and Maud around Manehattan added an extra layer of excitement to her character. The sisterly love between Pinkie and Maud was another strong point. Their contrasting personalities create an intriguing and heartwarming dynamic and gives off an interesting vibe. It was heartbreaking to see Pinkie so devastated over losing her beloved party cannon and it was even more emotional because Pinkie is the most joyful character in the show aswell as THE embodiment of laughter. Luckily Maud's fierce determination to retrieve it was fruitful and showcased her deep, albeit non-expressive, love for her sister. We have never seen her that angry before! It was frightening to the bone! Imagine if she stalked you with that passive-aggressive demeanor everywhere you went... brrr... π¨ Maud Pie's deadpan humor never fails to amuse me, and she seems wise in many ways. She may be emotionally restrained, but she's very aware of her feelings and you always know that she loves Pinkie very much. Her surprising abilities, like her potential 4th wall-physics-breaking ninja-like movements and Maud sense, tie into the quirky but charming, illogical traits of the Pie family, much like Pinkie's own fourth-wall-breaking antics. It's no wonder she's a fan favorite. The jokes involving Pinkie, Maud, and Rarity were on point - I absolutely loved them! The moral of the story, focusing on the intention behind gifts rather than the value, was beautifully illustrated through Pinkie's willingness to sacrifice her party cannon for what she thought would be the perfect gift. It was a touching reminder that true care is about the thought and love behind a gift, not its extravagance and neither a competition. Another point is that Pinkie sees every gift from her sisters and friends as βthe best gift everβ, thus she never stood a chance at beating them π However, one thing I didnβt quite understand was why Rarity didnβt just sew a new pouch for Pinkie Pie. Maybe it was a too straightforward solution that got overlooked in the plot, or perhaps it was a matter of time since Rarity might have needed more time to finish it, which would have been after the trip and therefore too late for the PSSSD. - We may never know. Overall, it was a pretty decent episode. We got to see more of Manehattan, enjoy Maud Pie, and witness the surprisingly good chemistry between Rarity and Pinkie Pie, with all their humor. But seriously, screw the guy who bought the party cannon from a desperate Pinkie that was in such dire need of that Rock Pouch! And no, itβs not weird to like this episode more than the premiere. Itβs totally reasonable, especially since the premiere wasnβt anywhere near bad or a masterpiece, but rather (sadly) one of the lesser-rated finales of the show. Also it's these character-driven stories that sometimes resonate the most. Thanks again for your insight to this episode! - Always a bliss to watch. π

2024-08-06 01:15:09 +0000 UTCI love maud and I agree with you! who doesnβt love her! sheβs so awesome, great episode the rock pouch was a great gift but pinkie canβt give up her party cannon! and true it hurts the most when pinkie gets sad and depressed, because sheβs so happy normally and just so much laughter and joy, I love the pinkie rarity combo it worked perfectly! I also enjoy seeing more of manehatten Iβd say this may have been better than part 1 and 2 like you said
