Jyc Row - Queen Opaline (Make Your Mark (generic) Alicorn Villain)
1,265Heya everyone!
So... I watched the 8 episodes of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark's chapter 2 on Netflix recently. Honestly, I think it's really okay - there are a few weird things regarding the animation and all but, still, it was pleasant to watch overall.
Though, I have two things about the series that I - personally - don't really like.
First of all is the connection with G4. I mean, that is just my opinion, but even before the release of the pilot movie last year I wasn't fan of having G4 in G5 because I thought it'd have been great to have something really fresh and new.
However, for obvious marketing reasons, G4 was incorporated in G5. At first it was quite nice to see some easter-egg and the movie clearly showed us that G5's story was tied to G4's story.
But the more we moved forward (comic and series), the more there were connections between both G4 and G5 and, in my opinion... it was a bad idea and it was done really badly because there are a lot of incoherence and things that doesn't add up.
Though, I can go beyond that as I'll now consider G5 as an alternate universe of G4, so nothing G5 does has to make sense towards G4.
The second point is Opaline. Yeah, the very same character I just made a track for! :D
Again, this is my personal opinion and everyone is welcome to disagree with me on that, but I really don't know what happened with her.
At first, I thought the over-saturation of her colours was an animation error in the first chapter/special we had, but seems like it's the natural colour she has (and I don't know why anyone on the team thought "yup, that's good, that over-saturated purple clearly doesn't hurt one's eyes).
But now we had more screentime about her and, well... so far, she sounds like the most generic and classic villain I ever saw.
We'll see in the future how it goes and what's her background story but - I'm sorry, really - she really feels like a bad edgy alicorn OC. And I did made a heckton of Alicorns OC for Infinite Eclipse so I don't know if it my place to speak about it but, still - the ambition of Opaline is basic, and she doesn't really have a "reason" except "I wanna be powerful, mwahahahaha"
But hey, we'll see, I'm just a grumpy old Jyc and maybe I'm completely wrong about all I said ahah xD
Now you'll ask "But why did you made a theme for her if you don't like her ?"
We'll, it's mainly because I said I'll do the villain a theme, even before the pilot movie was released, and I kept my word and did one.
However, I won't lie - it's certainly not my best track and it's kinda generic (so, hey, I'm in-theme! :D)
In any case, hope you'll like the music, and feel free to let me know what you thought about the series in the comments! =D
