Alright this finishes up the "Keys to Friendship" miniseries. And might I say I love the new looks of the mane 6. This is by far the best season 4 episode besides "Princess Twilight Sparkle". Anyway here we go with the season finale:
"Twilight's Kingdom" review:
Part 1:
Part 1 opens up as they are still in the Crystal Empire as Twilight Sparkle gets to welcome the dignitaries. She's worried that the princess role isn't important but her friends say otherwise. The dignitaries arrive and Twilight Sparkle unfurls a banner which is basically it which Spike points out to open the theme.
The episode opens back up as Twilight Sparkle sees the dignitaries. She asks the other princesses what her part is in all this. They're all they are there and Twilight Sparkle is still wondering what her big part is.
Twilight Sparkle, Cadence, Luna and Celestia sing "You'll play your part" which features for the first time ever..... Luna singing. And might I add the voice actor for her can sing very well . They tell her her time will come.
We switch to a scene with a unicorn walking the streets. Then a mysterious figure comes out and says his name is Tirek. He steals this unicorn's magic. Celestia wakes up and Luna also feels that he has come. They both know they are all in danger with him around.
We then hear a backstory about Tirek and his brother Scorpan. They tell Twilight Sparkle about him and Celestia wants to have Discord help stop him and the others are surprised except Fluttershy. Discord can feel when Tirek is causing trouble. They all go to the castle of the two sisters. They get there and Discord meets up with them and talks about his big role. Discord as an Alicorn princess. Yuck. Before Discord leaves he says something that will come in handy in a few minutes. Its about their journal and he bookmarks a few places.
They do some research but find nothing. Tirek continues his rampage and Discord tries to contain him but Tirek tries to convince him to turn against his friends.
As they continue to look Twilight Sparkle realizes the journal holds the idea of what the keys are to unlock the chest. Each of them did something hard to earn items from people. They all take their items to the chest and Pinkie Pie throws hers at the chest and "Bam" it turns into a key. They all put their items near the chest and they all become keys but Twilight Sparkle hasn't gotten hers. Spike burps up a letter saying Twilight Sparkle needs to go to Canterlot.
Apparently Discord has joined forces with Tirek. Tirek is so strong that he can now even steal magic from other ponies even alicorns. The solution to keep him from stealing Alicorn magic? Get rid of it. This ends part 1.
Part 2:
Part 2 opens up with a peek at what happened last time. Will they stop Tirek? Did Discord really turn on his friends? Can Discord trust Tirek? We'll find out after the theme.
The episode opens back up as the Twilight Sparkle says she will willingly give up her magic. The other princesses tells her its not that easy so they tell her they will give her theirs. Twilight Sparkle decides to take on the responsibility without telling her friends. They transfer their magic to Twilight Sparkle.
Discord feels this as Tirek continues draining everyone.
Twilight Sparkle now has all the alicorn magic. They not only lost their powers but their cutie marks. Twilight Sparkle arrives back home and Spike points out that the sun isn't up. Twilight Sparkle's first job. With a bit of focusing she finally raises the sun.
Tirek now takes over the castle and tries to take alicorn magic but unbeknownst to him they gave it up.
Twilight Sparkle goes to learn to control her new powers but this isn't gonna be easy as we see her flying faster than Rainbow Dash. She leaves them to keep watch.
Tirek isn't happy they gave up their alicorn magic but it doesn't matter so he sends them to Tartarus the same place they sent him long ago. Tirek gives him an amulet as a sign of his gratitude. Tirek sees the window of Twilight Sparkle and he isn't happy. Discord tells him where she is.
Okay I have to admit that Tirek is still pretty badass. He still wants to bring ruin.
The others are wondering about Discord. Discord shows he has betrayed them. Poor Fluttershy .. Tirek takes their magic. He even betrays Discord. (Big surprise). Tirek now goes after Twilight Sparkle who is trying to control her new powers. There's an epic fight between Twilight Sparkle and Tirek. And when I say epic I mean EPIC! This battle is awesome . We even see a "Dragon Ball Z" reference in here.
Okay for those who aren't DBZ fans let me lay it out for ya. This battle is kinda like the "Gohan vs Cell" battle. Gohan is a kid of a saiyan named Goku. Goku is part of a race of beings called Saiyans who can transform into giant monkeys at the sight of a full moon. If their tails are cut off then they can't. Or if the moon is destroyed same thing. They also have different phases called "Super Saiyans". With each phase they become more powerful. The first phase is when they get really ticked (The first time this happened was when Krillian was killed by Frieza and Goku got mad). They get gold hair.
Second phase they get a little more powerful but can't move as fast (As we seen with the Vegeta vs Cell fight). Super Saiyan 3 is where they go beyond that of an ascended Saiyan (This is kinda silly looking because they get long hair). Anyway aside from SS4 they don't change their physical appearance. Anyway the "Gohan vs Cell" battle went like this. Goku after fighting Cell tells him that he is no equal to Cell. But he knows who is. He tells him that Gohan will fight him. Gohan does and doesn't show his true power till he's really mad. In the end a huge Kamehameha wave beats Cell (With the help of his friends) and they win.
Whew. Now that we got that out of the way. Let's continue to watch this battle. The battle continues with them meeting blow for blow. Till Tirek induces a Stalemate. Her powers or her friends.
She agrees to this and tells him to release her friends. Even Discord. Tirek takes Twilight Sparkle's magic and is now the most powerful being in Equestria. Discord gives her the amulet Tirek gave him. They take it to the chest and it becomes the final key. They all turn the keys and Voila. The mane 6 now have rainbow powers. Along with awesome rainbow colored hair .
They use this power against Tirek and defeat him. Everything is back to normal. The tree shines and instead of a library Twilight Sparkle now has her own kingdom as told by Celestia . This is her role. To spread friendship throughout Equestria. She is now the princess of friendship and her friends are now her followers except Discord who isn't there yet as said by Fluttershy.
They all sing "Let the rainbow remind you" which is an awesome song .
Good Points:
-Although they changed Tirek a bit he was still badass.
-Both "You'll play your part" and "Let the rainbow remind you" were wonderfully sang.
-We finally got to hear Luna sing .
-That the stuff they learned over the past episodes helped them unlock the chest.
-Twilight Sparkle finally getting her own kingdom.
-The new rainbow look.
Bad Point:
-They changed Tirek a bit. Its no big deal though. The 2 parter was awesome .
Great episode. Loved every bit of it. 9.9/10. Well ladies and gentleponies this ends my seasons 1-4 reviews. Its been great reviewing these episodes. Anyway tomorrow I cap this off with my "Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks" review stay tuned .
