It's Death Adder ! I think ? Oh no wait, the true Death Adder is an hidden demon ! I think ?

As a narcissistic parental abuse survivor I feel like MYM did a lot of the good lifting and later TYT including S2 has Misty learning how to really be free and socialize and I can relate because its not as easy as it seems and it takes time and help from others and Im still recovering from it. I think TYT has the right idea but has fallen back to when Misty first joined the cast and I think that the issue they found themselves in. Hit send by accident lol. I think the writers have the right idea and they spread them out pretty well from one another and the episodes are different enough that do a great job of exploring her struggles but I think it would be cool if Misty got to have breaks from it cause I love that IDW gives her stuff to discover outside of her dealing with recovering so a nice balance would be amazing to see.

It'll probably get even worse with the upcoming game and TV show...but maybe it'll finally provide some cohesion, I don't know. I'll be there for both, though.

Yeah. I honestly like it too.

You should talk about the Hello Kitty OVA Mom Loves Me After All because no joke it’s literally a borderline masterpiece! It’s quite impressive for a Hello Kitty anime of all things to go into some deep themes!

Her fake nature to true nature

Her fake nature is evil?

I actually LIKED Shrek 3 and 4.

Seeing as how Death Adder Jr. only appears on "Easy Mode", I think the Jr. in his name might imply the Japanese custom of an older person, Death Adder, taking a young person under their wing and taking care of them, showing them what to do, etc.(Death Adder Senpai & Death Adder Kohai). Then again, maybe I'm just looking into it too much.

I just don't care. There is a limit in how many episodes i should care about Misty's angst. This is Fluttershy learning not to be shy over and over again. Just MOVE ON.

100% Agree. She's also a ninja commando who would give Gi-Joe's Snakeeyes a run for his money and shames Rambo.

I actually made a three part series about this. And I have to say this is a very decent breakdown of what actually happened to her character. I think you may have just inspired me. Thanks. :)

I think there are two conflicting message in you video: "If our focus is entirely in someone's vulnerability and pain we are discarding her actual personality" and "Folks in the fandom and writing staff alike seems to dismissed her pained past". I don't know if I should feel bad for Misty or not, because either way you are saying it's wrong. In my personal opinion, we should not celebrate her pain, showing more scenes of her suffering, doesn't "acknowledge" the situation. In any case, What I feel that is omitted, and it's actually the best trait of Misty, it's her resilience, her ability to come back for a painful and traumatic situation to a healthier, normal life. The fact that she is "just another" of the characters, it's proof of that, and she constantly remembers and uses her own experiences as compass to help others. Phrases "I know how it feels" and "I felt that too" are common openers for her to give advise using her empathy. According to her behavior, from the beginning of both series, and her current state, I can safely say, she has a "Sensitive" personality according to the Heptagram Matrix, she is positive and pasive (Meaning that she prefers to wait and listen rather than act and talk) and they usually takes jobs to be near people and help them. "Is perceived as a stingy eye sore" - I honestly haven't head anyone calling her that, or even suggesting than idea. Perhaps you should take a rest from Twitter, that's a bad place. I enjoyed your video, thank you for the time and effort you put into this.

That’s exactly what I was thinking of!

I agree I am a Posey fan too but Misty is an okay pony too!

I wonder if this game inspired Bubsy 3D.

Thanks for making this video, even if I don't fully get behind a couple of minor points. Misty's not always perfect, and she definitely hasn't always been treated the best, especially in earlier Tell Your Tale(*cough* Sparky's Sick *cough*). But it has gotten better over time. And while I admittedly am one of the people who does enjoy her cute mannerisms, it is NOT the only reason I love Misty so much. She grows as a character and that's what really makes her interesting to me. Btw, I have seen your review on the latest TYT episode. And while absolutely did not agree with it, this video did make me understand your reasoning a lot better. As I always say to myself: If I don't agree, then I should at least try to understand.

On one hand, I feel that a lot of people miss the point of Misty's depiction back in Chapter 2 and in pre-Chapter 4 Tell Your Tale. She was presented as a clutzy (But still mostly competent) antagonist, and not as much as her own person at first, because we were meant to think that Misty would fulfill the typical villain sidekick role until they would begin to display more of her personality and eventually her struggle by the end of said chapter. You know, give us a preview and eventually something to enjoy, before we understand her struggles. If you want to compare Misty's treatment to how people may romanticize victims, I would say that this was meant to show Misty as a character to intiially latch onto before she becomes more important to the narrative and become a character we're actually supposed to care about. Make Your Mark is a serialized show, but Tell Your Tale is (Or at least, was at first) an episodic show, and we got to get to know her and see her beyond the mask she puts on, as we would with anyone in real life. I have spoken online with plenty of people in similar situations to Misty, and I will admit it: I am guilty of having a savior complex, or at least, I used to. I do hold onto fantasies and hope for ideals, but as I've gotten older and more mature, I've done my best to try to hear people out for who they are and not just what they may be going through, and try to just listen and not jump straight to assistance, as to not rob them of their agency, as you said. Or at least, I try, including with those I really care about. I've been fortunate to not see too much of this view on Misty in the fandom, but I do feel that if you are going to bring it up, you could highlight some examples of this behavior, without us having to just take your word for it. This has just been my two cents on this video.

I would not be surprised if what a lot of folks are seeing as "stagnation" and a "mopey, angsty eyesore" is just another version of certain audience members projecting not their desires, but themselves onto Misty. Because that's why I don't like to tell people about my own problems; I tend to see myself as more of a "stagnant, mopey, angsty eyesore." And one thing about people who don't much like themselves; they tend to REALLY not like seeing what they see as themselves reflected back at them.

This video definitely gave me a lot to think about. I think I don’t like Misty, but for the wrong reasons. I really want to understand what is the actual struggle that I’m having with her overall character. Maybe there’s something I’m missing or misunderstanding, but I’m hoping to take my time as I’m working on my video that’s about Misty. Thanks, Addy. ❤

Honestly, I have been one of those people who has resented the show--mostly Tell Your Tale--rethreading old ground with her. But my issue with that has led to do with her own character writing and more to do with the show as a whole. Yes, you're completely right in that Misty's trauma with Opaline is trauma that is defining, and is realistically and expectantly gonna mark her for life. But in terms of the storytelling itself, I was just getting frustrated with just how much development Misty was getting and how it all seemed to come at the expense of The Mane 5--the characters I actually came to see the shows for because I fell in love with them in A New Generation. This is a problem I've had since *at least* Chapter 4--where there was an incredible nosedive to the character writing of The Mane 5, all while Misty's was only getting better. So to see her arc with Opaline be done and see Misty *still* get more meaningful characterization than Hitch, or Izzy, or Sunny, or the rest of The Mane 5, was so goddamn frustrating. I haven't seen Tell Your Tale in a while, but in terms of character development I genuinely think I haven't missed anything in regards to those characters. If the show gave character development to Misty *and* The Mane 5 that would've been one thing, but they don't, even with Misty's story practically being done there's still no balance in the character screentime. Chapter 2 was able to focus on everyone equally, what the fuck happened.

People saying Opaline kidnapped Misty from her home but She couldn't do that because of the barrier around Equestrian. Opaline might terrible mother to Misty but If Opaline didn't give Misty a place to stay and didn't take care of her Misty would be dead.

I remember when some g4 fans liked her in chapter 2 but now they don't care about her just like g5 when make your mark ended.

While I may disagree on a couple minor points regarding her early writing in both shows, the bottom line (and everything else) is right on the money, and I completely agree 100%. Misty is a character that deserves so much more compassion and love from fans and we as an audience need to treat her as you said, not like a “mopey, angsty eyesore,” but as a character who is constantly evolving and changing for the better. Her experiences make her who she is, and her empathy makes her unique as a pony. She is not a poorly written character who is stale or bland, but rather a dynamic character with a definitive arc and well-defined personality. And it’s time people start treating her as such. She has definitive agency, and to me, her writing is some of the best this generation has to offer. What can I say except, even though I have my own video on the topic still in the works, I probably couldn’t say the conclusion better if I tried. Your analysis is very compelling, I gotta give you serious props for that. You even got me thinking about some of my own perspectives towards her, and I gotta agree with your stance towards the overall hypocritical fan reception. People will just take any excuse to hate on whatever aspect of this generation they can think of, and it’s disheartening to think about the lack of genuine respect some people can have towards these types of characters. This was well worth the wait, and I hope that both our videos help clam the Misty haters up for good. You did a phenomenal job with this. :)

Is misty great in the comics

I mostly watch it for the memes but yeah, they go pretty deep. But the facial expressions are the funniest things I’ve ever seen! Seriously I could watch it just for those!

I bet season 2 is getting much better than season 1. I has watched season 1 and I saw it as great as much that I can't stop watching them but it turned down to me when I watching episode 6 to 7 made me hates Sophia more that she was mean to Ava, I can't believe they just put drama there between Ava and Sophia argument each other that I hates the most but at least Sophia know that friends are not overrated because she has Ava and the other as her friends even there is no development to Sophia but she did try to apologized for Ava because she know that she should not get mad at her because she know Ava did want to help her and I hope Sophia should stop behave like a rebellious teenager if she want to find her dad, she should asking Ava or the other friends to help. And thank you for sharing your opinion about Unicorn Academy.

1:55 Bordering on DESPICABLE I see what you did there

Soooo, a movie that is MADE FOR KIDS does not understand music and business among other things. That is very interesting cause I believe the target audience (10 year olds) also have that problem ^_^

Have you done reviews of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie or The Simpsons Movie? We did movie nights for each of them over the past week, and I'd like to hear your thoughts on them.

Yeah Addy Lovestar This My Favorite Movie

Something very poetic about the contradiction of challenging yourself being good for the soul and the impracticality of making things harder than they have to be.

The Ancient Grove has always felt so mysterious and endless to me- I'd love to boundary break it and poke around. Like where the hell is this located, how far out is it?? It's in the middle of some enormous pink ocean made of POISON, it's a forest but also simultaneously it's overhung by a massive stone ceiling on the shoreline?? God the vibes are immaculate there! The only thing that came pretty close for me in DOTD was the mysterious windy passage that was behind the Valley of Avalar.

Im sorry but I dont get it i dont see anything wrong with it???-

I have to say, I'm a little disappointed with this particular review Addy. You give many reasons why Thelma the Unicorn is bad but, you don't give any examples. "The character motivations are insane and inscrutable. Ok but, how? In what way? "This film doesn't understand anything about music, business, people, identity, or story telling." Again, how? Please explain what the film gets wrong with these things. I know you work hard and put in a lot of time and effort to makes these kinds of videos, and I appreciate your dedication but, in this particular case, you've made me more curious to watch Thelma the Unicorn to see _how_ it messes everything up. I love you Addy and I love your honesty and passion, and your willingness to stand up for what you believe in, but I _need_ you to do a little better next time.

Well I thought it was a good movie yes you do have a point about the adult jokes yeah younger children shouldn't watch it but I saw the beauty in your ashes of the review of the movie this movie meant so much to me years of being someone I'm not just to keep the peace but I'm not going to be someone I'm not just to please someone anymore.

I love you.

That vacuum guy at 0:14 made me do a spit-take.

Good writing and choice of words in the review. Made me want to play this game

You just made some unwanted memories resurfaces. On a side note Bear and the big blue house,team umizoomi and Lazy Town were all PEAK cartoons

I love you. Why are you collecting worms in bubbles?

Maybe you can be the mayor of Scienceville, one day!

What is this?

Props to you for surviving this nightmare of a film

This ain't Oogietown. It's "Lovely Love-ville." And it's not as lovely as that sounds. I'm so sorry you had to suffer through this corproate slopshow of a movie.

Not my favorite episode of season 2 honestly I kinda understand what they were going for but it does come off as a little rude of pipp and zipp, last episode was how pipp should be this episode it didn’t feel like her or zipp was their selves.

How does the combat need skill, what make the characters human, you don’t really explain how the game is real you just say so without much explanation.

Not every story has to be hugely complex.

Nearly as close to pure artistry as a purchased game can get? That is some high damn praise.
