S2E2 Return of Harmony Part 2
Going off of what I said in Part 1, this really actually felt like one of the few times where the Mane 6 weren't just shoved to the side, yes they were defeated by Discord in Part 1, but it's not like they're forgotten about as the show seems to enjoy doing nowadays, they actually were still relevant and the conflict was still about them, as it should be. It was about the Mane 6 as friends, and how they're needed together, why they're needed together, not just "let's just use the elements to blow someone up" as the Elements are often cited as a "I win" button, and honestly I find that incredibly incorrect. Well it is in some ways, but it was also a way of bonding the Mane 6 in a magical way. It's such a shame this is honestly the last time they're used or really of any relevance if I recall correctly, before being mixed up in MMC and finally, and unfortunately, thrown away in Princess Twilight Sparkle. Honestly, that's one of the worst mistakes the show has ever made. Same with reforming Discord as I think about it, but more on that later. Here he was fine, and just a G rated version of a monster about chaos. Silly, but not obnoxious with references I'd say. Not to mention, the way it tied things about the previous season into this one was really heartwarming. Seeing how MA Larson wrote this, he really should have written more season premiers and finales, not McCarthy.
