To me, Part 1 of "The Ending of the End" two parter impressed in a lot of areas. Despite not caring for Discord or Cozy Glow and especially that "bashing head against the wall"-inducing twist. 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' varied with its two parters, mostly on the positive side, and with that of "The Ending of the End" there was room for it to have been better despite many great things in both parts. Neither one of the best or worst two parters.

Part 2 is the better of the two parts, and it seems like that is a commonly held opinion within the fanbase. Again there are things wrong with it, with one thing in particular bringing things down significantly. But there are so many great things in "The Ending of the End Part 2", namely all the good things of Part 1 but done even better here. Plus one doesn't have to worry about a twist of the same nature as the understandably panned one in the first part, which is already a plus.

Not everything works. The Student Six have been very well done character since their introduction but here they don't serve an awful lot of point and felt thrown in.

Cozy Glow though is the weak link. Again too bratty and with no menace, and the episode doesn't develop her very well at all or give her any reason for what made her turn out the way she did. Her defeat was also almost too cruel.

However, "The Ending of the End Part 2" has a lot that works in its favour. The animation is some of the best of the season, which is quite a compliment as this was something that was particularly consistently good throughout the season. It is full of vibrant colour and atmosphere and the background detail is often awe-inspiring. The music is so good at adding to and enhancing the action and atmosphere. The voice acting is faultless all round.

Loved most of the characters, with all the regulars true to character, fun and likeable and Tirek and especially Chrysalis (in Season 9 she was the memorable intimidating villain that she should have been in Season 8's "The Mean 6") being formidable villains. The action often thrills in energy and scope and is creative in visuals. The final battle is fantastic and the highlight scene of the two parter for me, it does end a little too predictably but it was thrilling and emotional. The script has humour, intelligence and poignancy and the story is fun and suspenseful on the most part.

All in all, very well done and superior second part. 8/10.

This is the second to last episode in the entire series and it's pretty freaking awesome. Discord manages to free the Mane 6 and they all appear together. Like I found out before, all the good guys come together in the end. We get this great montage that shows them gathering all the characters of different species. Now Twilight has realized that she doesn't need the Elements of Harmony to stop the villains. It was awesome seeing Tempest among them too!

We get some great battle scenes and we see Pinkie Pie at some of her funniest. There actually are going to be Season 10 comics that finish the story, just like "Adventure Time". The pacing's great and I think I might mention pacing too much in my reviews. I will admit it would have been nice to have it all concluded in one long final episode. Still, this is where we get our epic battle! Everyone's important in the end! ****

Cozy didn't deserve to die.... she was essentially proven right. They just use their power to silence dissent. It's a disappointing way to end the show (penultimately). Whoever wrote this is an awful awful person.

They straight up, essentially, give a child a fate worse than death, whereas they'll reform every other villain in the series. Terrible writing, a terrible plot. The only upside is the animation and the voice acting, but it's not used to serve a good script. Haber and Vogel should be fired.

Heroes don't kill little fillies. This episode ruined 9 years of build up. Whoever wrote it should never be allowed to write for television or film again. I HATE this episode.

This is one of the worst episodes of the show. Literal child murder, that's how it ends. A show about redemption and friendship for family audiences ends on the worst note possible.
