Ballad of the Brony: Act Two

[pbakeisazombie]

Anyone ELSE notice the Nyan Cat theme on piano playing at about 9:56? LOL!!!

[TheRj1322]

i was so mad at gilda for roaring at fluttershy

no one roars at fluttershy and gets away with it

[TheAntiACTA]

Does anyone else instantly start smiling more and more whenever they're looking at Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie?

[obbicusvids]

See's Fluttershy's face; *squees*

[kirecry]

what`s the song at 8:10 ?

[obbicusvids]

@kirecry it maybe Art of the dress (Euro fashion mix), even if its not its still epic



[kirecry]

@obbicusvids

lol, really is it?

[obbicusvids]

@kirecry no its not I don't know what I was thinking haha.perhaps the Rainbow dash theme by acoustic brony

[MrJustinArt]

Of all the Mane 6 Dash is my least favourite, but I still like her.

[sebaschan23]

Very informative, very well written, these videos are tremendous! You are a champion my friend!

[protosega]

If Fluttershy snaps, AGAIN, we are all Doomed.

[halopal1]

Can someone send me a link to the pic at 2:04?

[nero252]

Ballad of the Brony Act One burnt my eyes due to G3.5 ponies but this video fixed that problem thank you

[hagamablabla]

Was about to rage because you didn't mention Celestia's trolling. You did a great job and I fully intend to watch all 5 sections.

[Jbob98onroblox]

hey, learned something that i always knew in the bottom of my heart!

GRIFFONS SUCK

amazing project bro

i would have given you 200/100 instead of 110

[captloki13]

I wonder if actual little girls watches the show now.

[ChowderAnimations]

But still I'll stick to my stuff.

[ChowderAnimations]

I just realized.... Everything.

[them3otherguys]

There is one thing that makes Spike easy to understand: he's a pre-adolescent. A child can expound at great length on factual information that they've picked up from various sources (for example, I'd just as readily consult a 10-year-old as I would an encyclopedia when it comes to dinosaurs) and in the same breath talk with the same conviction on dragons, ghosts, aliens etc. Spike knows right and wrong, he has a set of morals, but he's still dealing with the gray areas. In other words, a kid.

[JoystixMusic]

I literally said the same thing when the voice of "Q" came in!

[ultimatenitro619]

Celestia didn't banish LUNA to the moon, she banished NIGHTMARE MOON to the moon?

This was proven by the word of Lauren Faust herself.

So, for those who believe Celestia is a monarchist, please re-consider it.

[DracoDei]

Pausing at 9:20 to say that Rainbow Dash does not have unflagging self-confidence... or was the audio made before "Sonic Rainboom"? I can tell the visual portion wasn't. Maybe you missed that episode, or intend to cover it separately later?

[diamondlighting101]

GRIFFINS SUCK!

[nintengod]

I totally agree with you on the Rarity part. I was so impressed that they were able to make her so deep. I disliked her at first, but now she is my favorite.

[RazorRaptor9]

She taught me a valuable lesson that day... GRIFFINS SUCK!

[MXCoriginal]

You said you did this for school? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I can't stand to watch anything I made be played for others without wanting to hide in the corner.

[thomasw011]

DAT CANTERLOT SKETCH.

[thomasw011]

@thomasw011 i'd pay significant amounts of money for that.

[YabusameLuna]

I've got to admit, I would have liked to have heard just a little more about Pinkie Pie. As like another stated, she's gained a psychological complexity in an underlying worry of abandonment and not being appreciated in places deep down that often don't come to the surface.

Pretty awesome so far, nonetheless.

[Anarchemitis]

I can't honestly say that I've ever been so made that I caught fire.

Thanks to a mellowing memory called Fluttershy, I don't think I'll ever be able to.

[TheBigBrownBone]

Gryphons are awesome. Heart of Gold, Feathers of Steel will make anyone question why Gilda was cruel. Granted it's fan canon, but the show hinted that Gilda was a insecure gryphon. Awesome videos by the way, this is another shining example of why the mlp fandom is amazing.

[UtterPwnage]

GRIFFINS SUCK

[MrDoctorCrow]

I'm really enjoying these videos, but I have to say. That Southern accent hurt a little.

[VegasSubie]

The real fantasy world?

[willardb123]

> sell you a uneek and customized dress that is free of charge

wait- wat?

[0revolutionary]

I love the work of everyone on the initial team. :]

[SonofMrPeanut]

While there was a snag in Discord's plan that lead to his restoning (that's the word I'm using, and I'm sticking to it), I still think he's got more of an edge than he's letting on. He clearly has a bigger plan for the future, and being encased in stone again is only a minor setback in his grand scheme.

[penispenischeetos]

dont hate on trixie



[TerraHv1]

Don... Don't ever do that southern accent again. It was baaaddd.... :p

[Tobeikun01]

Rainbow "Danger" Dash. All of my win sir.

[HyugaNeji462]

I am really enjoying this presentation. You did a very good job

[BlitztheDragon]

Nice presentation, but the fact you left the sounds in all the stock clips made it highly distracting, as it was only slightly softer than your narration.

[JakeTheArmyGuy]

*starts talking about the music*

Dude, shut up, I'm trying to hear the song! LOL

[FloridaKnightGamer]

Fuckin love Samurai Jack

[LtDaffy]

This is awesome :D why can't history class be this interesting?

[JimRaynorRaider]

@6:10

...i can't remember that in any ep.... can anyone help?

[SodiumHydroxideRG]

This was so educational. I'm learning all sorts of Brony history here.

[Savci008]

Ahah, is that Fighting is Magic music, or what? :D

[ApocalypsePenguin]

This is awesome. How many classmates were converted to bronyism after you showed this?

[Buggy793]

...Is that the Nyan Cat theme at the Pinkie Pie section? O.o

[Kytseo]

In my opinion, it would've been oddly appropriate and really funny if you transitioned from Fluttershy's normal kind demeanor to her badass moments with a metal cover of the main theme and listing them in a voice reminiscent of Nathan Explosion, though it's perfectly fine as is presently.

[christkids]

Danial Ingram is heavily inspired by Stephen Sondheim. In fact, "Art of the Dress" and "Into the gala" are almost EXACT copies of Sondheim's "State of the Art," and "Into the Woods." Even some of the lyrics are exactly the same!

[BlazeAlchemist991]

What was the reaction that you got from other students and teachers that saw your presentation?

[TheTotalOverflow]

Some of the footage during the Rainbow Dash bit seemed unfamiliar...Her racing through the sky. Was that from the show?

[dragonfire2407]

@TheTotalOverflow some images from the show were reversed before being displayed. the disorientation may make it seem unfamiliar.

[Mudstarofskyclan]

Trixie is best pony.

[ChZ001]

Luna fanbase here at your service!

also Trixie > Gilda (Trixie is prettier :3)

You did a great job on making these - i for one, thank you!

[TheNarukill]

Seriously dude... You just earned a place in my heart. You rock :D

[Grenaderbrad3]

GRYPHONS SUCK!!!

[NaziZombieBrony1]

solid video so far although one minor issue is it seems your color correction is a little hyper sensetive because spike and some of the others come out with strange coloration differences compared to how they look in the show footage.

[Saberspark]

@NaziZombieBrony1 Ya, the videos I used were from Beanyone (May God rest his soul) and the episodes from Season 2 that he posted had strange coloring. I was going for format and didn't realize the difference until it was too late. Next time I post a Pony Presentation, I'll be aware!

[purplebandicootz]

@Saberspark Yah it really sucks that his videos got taken down.

[Mr111989]

@Saberspark I wonder... do you have a favorite character from this series?

[Grue3]

@NaziZombieBrony1 Yeah, I think he uses those awful "color-corrected" versions from ponyarchive for season 2 clips. I thought I was the only one who thinks they look terrible.

[TheKeyblademaster001]

those songs have been stuck in my head for so long that i can sing them now ... especially winter wrap-up

[GigawingsVideo]

I just finished this part 2, I love it so far. But I just want to criticize about your character explanations. At first you mention about characters having flaws to be enjoyable. However you start to fan gushing after your explanation about Twilight. You never mention RBD's fear of failing and Fluttershy's crushing shyness and Applejack stubborness or Pinkie's fear of getting abandoned by her friends.

Now chapter 3.... I GO!

[TerrorWolfX]

Background music around 4:20, Fighting is Magic - Twilight Sparkle stage?

[Saberspark]

@TerrorWolfX correct!

[OmiPlus]

This is brilliant. You are brilliant.

[Saberspark]

@OmiPlus Ah, thank you very much! I appreciate your feedback ^_^

[OmiPlus]

@Saberspark I'm serious, guy. I couldn't explain any better as to why this show is amazing.

[BaneKaikyo]

@OmiPlus I agree... It is indeed quite hard to put to worthy words...

[uhuju1]

@Saberspark could you give me a link to the pic in @2:04 ? thw fluttershy staring into cloudsdle one?

[LinkEX]

Wow, you really put MUCH effort into this.

So far it was well structured (in this part for example, you showed how FiM came into existance and how the artists influenced the show, then introduced the characters), made a great voice acting job, used a big variety of footage (including even concept art) that's humorous and/or even suits to your narrative (0:42, 2:29 onwards, 3:32, and much more); there's even a lot of MLP fan music in the background!

You earned yourself a subscription! :D
