MLP Season 5 - Episode 14 - True Friendship: Difference between revisions

 

I then proceeded to open up the video, but I saw the episode was shorter than a normal episode. The average episode is about 22 minutes long, but here it's about 16 minutes. I was confused for a moment, but then I thought maybe the hacker couldn't get the whole episode since it wasn't finished and had to upload what he had. I was also a bit doubtful this was an actual episode and was beginning to think this was some fan animation by some brony. I shrugged off the feeling and clicked play on the video.

The first thing I noticed was there was nothing for the first few seconds until the intro with the theme song came up. I found it odd but then I remember it probably wasn't finished. The episode looked like it was filmed on a VHS tape since the video and sound quality was bad. The intro was the same as the season 1 intro, just without Twilight's library in the background. Regardless, the intro went by as normal until it ended.

 

She asked Twilight what was wrong and Twilight looked over at Pinkie slowly, "Spike is dead." She said. I was shocked by what she said. Not only it was the fact that a main character actually died, it was that they never talk about death directly. Fluttershy did say to Rainbow Dash that Tank was going to die if he didn't hibernate in Tanks For The Memories, but she didn't mention the word death or anything like that. Also, in Crusaders of the Lost Mark, Applejack hints that her parents are dead, but doesn't say the word death in any way. A picture flashed on the screen before it cut to the next scene, but I didn't attempt to see what it was since I can't pause it fast enough.

 

 

"Um.. Twilight..? Can you come out here for a second... If that is okay with you?" She said, unsure about this. At first it sounded like there was no response until I heard muffling from the other side. I turned the volume up and kept listening to it. I heard Twilight repeating the words, "Friendship is NOT magic", over and over again. It sounded like she was going insane. Fluttershy was also hearing the same thing and slowly backed away, scared. "What kind of episode is this!?" I thought to myself, "This is not for kids!".

The next scene showed Rainbow Dash in the sky. Flying around and clearing clouds as normal until she stopped. She looked around, looking very uneased as like she thought she was being watched. The camera switched to a different position as Rainbow Dash continued to look around, but now the sky was black. The clouds were still there but the sky was black as if it was night time. Rainbow Dash then flew away, off camera. The scene stayed like this for about a minute, giving me a unnerving feeling that there was something else to this scene. At the last few seconds I saw a grey figure flying towards the camera. I looked more closely at the figure and realized it was Twilight. She kept flying towards the camera until she was right up to it. It then cut to black with a faint buzzing heard in the background for about 5 seconds. There was then a still picture of Ponyville, looking like it was abandoned. The sky was still black, and there was the sound of wind in the background. It stayed on this for about a 40 seconds until it cut to the front of Twilight's castle again, the sky still black.

 

 

I watched in horror, trying to resist the urge to puke. "What the FUCK kind of episode is this?" I said. As mentioned earlier, there was a narration going on in the background by Twilight Sparkle as the scene played out. I didn't catch on to what she said and I didn't want to re-watch the scene. So I decided to go back earlier in the scene and minimize the video so I won't have to see the scene again. "Dear Princess Celestia," Twilight said, words echoing around, "Friendship is not magic. I have been living a lie. True friend will be able to prevent such happenings. That was not the case for me. My true friends did not prevent what happened at all. Life it just a lie. In the end, your friends will just back stab you and leave. So here is the question... What is true friendship?".

I was tearing up slightly when she was done talking. I opened the video back up and the camera was still panning slowly. It came up to one room where it showed the letter Twilight wrote. The camera then panned slowly to show Twilight hanging from a noose, dead. She had several cuts on her body and was also discolored. The camera stopped and stayed on Twilight's hanging body for the rest of the episode. I thought that wasn't the end so I quickly skipped to the last few seconds of the episode. All it showed was just static. I went back to before the static happened. Twilight was still hanging from a noose, but there was 1 frame of a picture before cutting to static. I opened up a video

editor so I can go through the frames. I decided to go to the first frame from earlier when Twilight was crying. It was a picture of Spike with both of arms ripped off, his eyes gouged out, and heart torn out. The blood looked more detailed in this shot than the other from later. I once again resisted the urge to puke and skipped to the point to where it cuts to static. What I saw scared me. It was a picture of Twilight close up to the camera, looking like she was screaming and had realistic, bloodshot, human eyes. Surrounding the eyes was pure black, like staring into a void. She was still discolored, like she was still dead.
