>You said that Sandbar wouldn´t become that relevant for the group but turns out that he plays an important role with his pony status.
I was fearful for his future developmet, I though he did awesomely in this. Pleseantly surprised.

>meaning that her rook cutie mark defies the central principles of harmony, replacing them with her manipulative skills.
She makes friends without a heart. She has kindness, generosity, laughter, loyalty, honesty, but she only uses it for her own purposes. But in this world, most of equestria's villains were completely devoid of it and acted out completely opposite to them, she could embody them at times. With a rotten twisted concept of friendship to glue it all together into something that maybe pretty uncomfortable to look in the minor.

> Here, the students glow (pun intended) different colors for each element (I may be implying on this part, correct me if I am wrong):
Actually didn't get catch that. Thanks for poitig that out!

>If I had to mention a flaw, it would be that the Mane 6´s part in the Tantabus felt like filler, the comic relief part in comparison to the rest of the episode. It was necessary for Cozy´s plan though.
I actually liked it for the most part though I feel those criticisms. Could that time have been used for better?

> Solid finale, I expected that because I was spoilt because of some leaked images on /mlp/ but I enjoyed it anyway. Not as epic as season 4 nor as dramatic as season 5 but I´ve got admire how it compelled a lot of lore and subtle things for it. It´s not difficult at all to get it but the try is welcome either way, it makes the episodes entertaining whenever you repeat them.
Sounds similar to my thoughts. From a technical standpoint it is well done and different, though it's not my fav. It is a whole other animal compared to season 6 and 7 in terms of complexity and it's villains were at least different.


>There is still stuff unresolved and unexplained, especially surrounding Cozy Glow and tha cliffhanger....no wonder, there could be another villain behind her....
