Equestria likely implodes. Twice if Pinkie ascends with him in the midst of another duet.

@Persona  
What if enough songs in an episode means Weird Al ascends?

Going on the past track record, I suppose a full blown musical episode either means that somepony is about to ascend or that Weird Al is in town.
 
Granted, said ascension need not result in alicornification.

@the metal bronyhead  
You’re welcome.

Thanks Amy Keaton Rogers. :)

I forone, Welcome our New Alicorns

While some critiqued the episode had the same problem as MMC, “having way to many events crammed into a musical episode,” I think this episode did a better job conveying events then MMC did, had better pacing, and overall was more touching/adorable/satisfying.  
It was also surprisingly less comical then most CMC episodes, (having fewer visual gags, and such) and felt a lot more serious then the usual CMC episode.
 
Also, the CMC’s “Ascension” felt like it had more build-up then Twilight’s, which made it feel more satisfying, and heart-warming to me.  
The CMC have been working to get their marks for nearly 5 years/seasons, and finally earned them doing something very least-expected. Helping out their worst bully. Which also makes it feel more well-earned.

@Phantom Rider  
It was pretty good for what it was.
 
As someone who, to put it mildly, reeeaally didn’t like MMC, I found this episode to be way more tolerable in regards to what they did and how and why they did it.

@Swordbreaker-04  
With that and the grand lights show (compare to the much more subdued CM-getting effect in “The Cutie Mark Chronicles) I thought some grand… something… was coming.
 
Not that this wasn’t grand. But y’know, it looked grander.

The way they floated had me doubt it for a second.

Well, the whole episode did feel like a microcosm of MMC, what with the theme, transformation, ending celebration, and even the fact that it was a musical.

And that’s Equestria was unmade…
 
Actually, to be fair, the CMC have gotten quite competent lately. They’ve grown so much sense Season 1. (Sobs.)

@Background Pony #F2EC  
I get it. It doesn’t work anymore.

@Tragiclady  
Nope, seems perfectly fine.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with this :3

Sweetie Belle yes, the others no.

@the metal bronyhead  
god damnit, i knew someone would beat me to it XD

 
Lar-SOOON!

Yes this is what they were going to do.

Larson…  

And then Scootaloo learned that she still can’t fly.

Thanks M.A. Larson

Someone show this to Kwark, quickly!

@Xidphel  
It seems someone is not getting the joke here.

LARSOOOOOOOOOOON!!
