A Minotaur self help coach? I'm sold on it already!

wackypony said...

Ib4 she takes her assertiveness too far like Dash took her fame too far in Mare Do Well.

Alexstrazsa said...

I smell a Flutterbitch.

Herr Mordheim said...

Wow, I totally wasn't expecting Iron Will to be a bull.

Jay6 said...

Gotta love fluttershy being so adorkable. <3

Roy G. Biv said...

Trixie has a new challenger!

Herr Mordheim said...

*Minotaur, apparently.

The Rookie said...

Looks awesome, can't wait lol.

Eggy21000 said...

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Nykkes64 said...

Fluttershy becoming more assertive than ever!!!!! ^_^

Cgeta said...

This is the first time I saw something new before it got postet on EQD! :D
I'm so awesome :P

Kadreal said...

No! Don't turn flutters into a jerk =(

ponydoraprancypants said...

Okay, this is a minotaur, and he clearly buys his stage pyrotechnics from the same company as Trixie. I'm not sure what to think.

Unknown said...

OMG THAT WAS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

Nykkes64 said...

NEVER APOLOGIZE WHEN YOU CAN CRITICIZE!!!!! ^_^
Thats very catchy!!!

Eeveexpert said...

And THAT is why Fluttershy is (and always will be) top of my favorites list.

*Insert obligatory Spongebob joke here*

Rusticks said...

It appears that Iron Will has the Royal Canterlot voice.

Jon Fawkes said...

Hnnng can't wait for Saturday!

SonOfTheNorthe said...

I was hoping Iron Will was a royal guard.

Dantes_Grill said...

I'm a bit scared of this episode, gonna be awesome though =P

Gaiascope said...

Mind = blown

Minotaurs AND assertive Fluttershy? This episode is going to be so freaking awesome.

Xeddrief said...

I am Commander Shepard, and this is my favourite Minotaur in Equestria

Nitram said...

Awesome! Can't wait! :)

aki1993 said...

"oooo he's blocking your path!! what are you going to do about it??"

"go home and try again tomorrow?"

XD i love fluttershy!!

Elliptisoar said...

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Must see.

FreezingShock said...

A minotaur taking the ham up to eleven? I can't wait!

PonyPon said...

Minotaurs canonized!
Oh this will be good.

wackypony said...

@Kadreal
of course that is what they're gonna do.

they wouldn't have an episode otherwise.

Hawkysu said...

Trixie style fireworks! YAY

Princess Addictia said...

"Calm down Fluttershy and tell me where he touched you."

Rafasde said...

Is that a variation of the beginning of "The Eye of The Tiger" I hear at 0:52 until 0:58?

Just wow.

Ben Gibson said...

YESSSSSSS THIS WILL BE AWESOME

fohl said...

Trixie had better fireworks.

But awesome character anyway!^^

thedudewithnoface said...

@Princess Addictia

HE TOUCHED ME IN PLACES I DON'T UNDERSTAND :'(

Naahdude said...

"WHEN SOMEPONY TRIES TO BLOCK
SHOW THEM THAT YOU ROCK"

Holy shit, Iron Will is the best thing.

Matthew_Pie said...

Iron Will is an antagonist; this will be interesting.

wackypony said...

this episode clearly shows discrimination against goat.

bad episode is bad.

trollface.jpg

Travis Smith the Shadowbolt said...

Bulls on steroids

I think we're affecting the show a little bit to much...

smokeydops2 said...

Oh my, I hope Fluttershy takes home the best and not the worst of this Minotuar's lessons!

QuelloScelto said...

That voice....Hercule..DBZ!?

Travis Smith the Shadowbolt said...

@Rafasde
I do believe so although the end sounds a little off

Xanneo said...

"Never apologize when you can criticize!"

wackypony said...

@smokeydops2

they're gonna recycle the lesson mare do well used, but in a different wording.

It's okay to be assertive, but not over assertive.(it's okay to be proud, but not too proud.)

Watchit said...

DAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!! I want fluttershy noooowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Kryptchild said...

I SPILLED MY DRINK IN MY LAP WHEN I SAW THIS!!!

My lap is sticky now but I don't freaking CARE!

RanYakumo said...

@Roy G. Biv

Agreed.

Also, is that a minotaur I see? Good to see the team is keeping up with their mythological creatures.

ProxyPie said...

fluttershy is one of my favorite characters after pinkie pie, this should be great!

feint said...

Lol those hands look weird. Im assuming first hands in MLP?

Lugrak said...

Yay, this episode will definitely be pure awesome!

Btw did you noticed the microphone thingy the minotaur was wearing??

fargreencountry said...

I wonder if they will refer to him as a minotaur or just as a bull? He's not a minotaur in the classical sense, which isn't surprising since he'd have to be half human... though the implication that humans exist or existed in Equestria would be verrrry interesting...

Penguin_616 said...

Anyone else hear "The Final Countdown" at 0:53?

lesserpoet said...

The whole town is going to turn into a bunch of jerks... this is going to be amazing!

Luxin_Nocte said...

Trixie found a new job as pyrotechnician.

Knuckleshy said...

Fluttershy is so adorably assertive. Also a Minotaur. I love how they are going into the different mythologies.

SilentRunning said...

Hey Iron Will, I'm really happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish... but Princess Luna has the best Traditional Royal Canterlot Voice of all time.

smokeydops2 said...

i get the feeling that is going to be the lesson, but i also get the feeling FS is going to learn it herself

Nightmare Moon said...

A minotaur? Bucking awesome!

kultist said...

ASSERTIVENESS! IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE!

StorytellerSJK said...

Man, what is it with traveling jerks coming into Ponyville with the explicit intent of making money but really just causing problems along the way? I bet they all went to the same business school. I can just picture Iron Will, Trixie, and the Flim Flam Brothers all in class together. Make it happen fan artists, make it happen. :)

pmcollectorboy said...

*rubs chin* Hmmmmmm. *shifty eyes* Hmmmmm.

No sir, I don't like it.

Travis Smith the Shadowbolt said...

@kultist
I think you mean electro lights

moocow1452 said...

Dude, his theme is Eye of the Tiger. This pretty much guarantees a training montage, and Fluttershy being boss.

We're three for three on traveling ponies being antagonists. Friendship is NOT Nomadic, then.

Christian said...

I really like his... tie? It just so odd to see him wearing a tie on a bare torso like that, it makes it hilarious.

Adrian Brony said...

I knew it. iron will is one of those lame motivational speakers who scam people

Ironclad said...

That bull already has me rollin' with laughs!

Rex2099 said...

OMG YES...YES!!!

Justin said...

OMG, Best...Episode...EVER!!!

Sothalic said...

There was many ways the episode could go, I'm pleased to see it's going to start as one of those pushing types of guru helping Fluttershy.

I just hope the episode won't end with her going 'I shouldn't try to be something I don't want to be' and dump the entire episode off her mind. She has to be true to her namesake, sure, but I do believe it's time she gets to change her normal behavior.

Agile Wings said...

LOL, this is looking to be pretty good! Can't wait!

Jersey Lightning said...

USE HEADBUTT PULVERIZE. :D

Bullets said...

All my money on Fluttershy being too assertive because of initial positive reinforcement, then learning to take things in moderation after some chaos. Add in a letter to Celestia and viola - Episode complete. :3

Roland 'Jim' Lowery said...

Dangleshy is best dangled pony.

pmcollectorboy said...

Final Countdown is Europe. Eye of the Tiger is Foreigner.

Europe sucks. Foreigner. . . a little less so.

Minotaur is totally a scam artist.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

Hmmmm... I think I read a fanfic like this once.
The episode looks like it's going to be even better! :D

ProxyPie said...

fluttershy is one of my favorite characters after pinkie pie, this should be great!

Rafasde said...

@Penguin_616

You sure it isn't the "Eye of the Tiger" like I said above?

Mcoov said...

The facial constructions are getting better and better.

Goblin Brony said...

This episode is going to be very awesome. I didn't have high hopes, since I don't find many surprises with Fluttershy, but...this episode is going to be VERY. AWESOME.

Jigglysaint said...

@kultist

Have you been watching Idiocracy again?

I was also kind of hoping somewhere that Peter Cullin would do the voice if Iron Will, and it would be like Fluttershy is being mentored by Optimus Prime. Of course on second though that wouldn't work.

Shutter18 said...

Oh god, Fluttershy's attempt to be assertive, and her face at the end...it's just...it's so...D'AWWWWWW! I don't know if I can survive this episode!

Naahdude said...

@pmcollectorboy

Actually, Eye of the Tiger is Survivor.

Feels Like the First Time is Foreigner :D

0xfoo said...

All I can think of is the episode where Plankton taught Spongebob the same.

Cedric Bale said...

On the one hand, I'm looking forward to the inevitable hamminess of this episode. Fluttershy is just adorably awkward. On the other hand, however, I'm not looking forward to Fluttershy being a jerk, and all of the shoe-horned references to it in new story updates.

Adrian Brony said...

I think the lesson is "sometimes, people will take advantage of you. know when to stand up for yourself, but don't lose your humility."

Soundmonkey44 said...

Iron Will is a Minotaur eh, sweet. Also I eagerly look forward to the return of Flutterbitch, or that is to say a new derivative of the character...Assertashy!

Can't wait for Saturday!

FilAm4494 said...

Rex-Kwon-Do keeps popping into my head for some reason.

seth said...

i soooo want to see this now right now GIVE IT TO ME NOW
ummm ye....

darkconsoles said...

What a surprise. I thought that Iron Will is a pony :) It's gonna be SO AWESOME

Adrian Brony said...

also, a minotaur doesn't mean humans existed. humans could end up being the one actual mythological creature in that setting. as in, of all the creatures that ARE real, humans are the one that is actually a myth.

The Dusty Forest said...

I know it's been said earlier...like 5 times but really? Eye of the tiger and ponies? I think this episode is gonna be the best yet of season 2 :D

James Rye said...

@PonyPon

You do realize what that gonna means?

It means lots and lots of fanfics will use Minotaurs as a race like they did with the griffions!

I can already see it, Equestira: Total War with Ponies, Griffions and Minotaurs!!! <3
Now all that´s missing are some Werewolfs or Wolfen cause i dont think they gonna call Iron will Minotaur in this episode, but rather Bull.

The Invincible said...

Wow, this guy's a really solid motivator. And he can rhyme! Maybe he can help Pinkie Pie with her co-dependency.

JustAnotherBrony4 said...

oh god...i can only imagine the hardcore porn she's gonna be in now...and she's gonna be on top...

wackypony said...

If Fluttershy turns into a giant dick in this episode, i will hold it against her.

Shutter18 said...

Oh god, Fluttershy's attempt to be assertive, and her face at the end...it's just...it's so...D'AWWWWWW! I don't know if I can survive this episode!

mygamecube said...

Video tag: "bronies"

My life has more meaning than ever before

Adrian Brony said...

@wackypony

I won't because she isn't real.

Jordan said...

Iron Will's voice is totally Chris Rager using his Mr. Satan/Hercule voice from the 1996 Dragon Ball Z! I don't even watch Dragon Ball Z and a little research on Behind the Voice Actors told me that!

Octavia9th said...

Oh, this episode is going to be gold. Simply cannot wait.

fargreencountry said...

@Adrian Brony Only under the classical definition of a minotaur would the existence of humans necessarily be implied. This depiction seems to reference more modern ideas. But I still like to speculate ;)

Graveheart said...

...

*sunglasses off*

Mother of...

lol, this is gonna be great! XD

oneeyemug said...

Fluttershy forgot about flying over him. Anyway, didn't expect Iron Will to be a minotaur.

marioandsonic said...

Please tell me that guy is voiced by Hulk Hogan...

Beta-Carotene said...

I totally was not expecting a Minotaur

Lend-A-Claw said...

Iron Will is a minotaur? Awesome... just awesome.

Unsuspecting Herd said...

Lyra's gonna love this guy...

Knuckleshy said...

@Jordan

I knew I reconized that voice from somewhere. In that context this episode is going to be very funny.

Flutteryay said...

I can see where this is going.


Iron Will will probably push Fluttershy too far until she decides that enough is enough.

DeAdp1Ng said...

aw what a cute smile she had at the end :)

Xeddrief said...

@feint

No, Spike's claws are technically hands and Ahuizotl had hands, plus a hand on his tail.

Cedric Bale said...

@wackypony
Oh god, the innuendo...

Harwick said...

So a Minotaur in Equestria is half bull, half...?

And I'll never understand why people think "hands" are something that ponies would have never heard of. Spike has hands (clawed hands, but still hands.)

I have no trouble recognizing the word "hoof" or understanding what it is even though no sentient being on my planet has hooves. I also understand fins, scales, flippers... any number of body parts I don't possess.

Anyway, this little scene greatly increased my interest in this episode!

Legeden said...

I sense disturbance in the force

Octavia said...

Inafter tons of Minotaur comments.

I myself was getting more into some of the funny things he was saying. "Why apologize when you can criticize?" lol And Fluttershy's expression at the end of the clip is just adorable. <3

bolemis said...

woo, can't wait <3

Neros said...

This looks awesome.
I predict:
. A training montage
. Assertishy
. Flutterbitch
. Epic showdown in which Fluttershy uses her assertiveness to drive Iron Will out of town

Torch621 said...

I think I see where this one is going.

Buzzin92 said...

Don't tell me I'm the only one who thought of MR.T because of this XD

Flutterlove said...

Oh.. my. :(
I-i don't like where this is going..

Krieve said...

Did somepony order..

A LARGE HAM.

Tyranoman said...

A Minotaur eh? Just about every mythological creature imaginable seems to exist in Equestria.

MrSmile said...

The return of flutterbitch well looks like i need to skip this episode... ;(

Leeky said...

Hmmmm, I'm a little nervous about the message of this one. However if any show can pull it off it's MLP FIM. I hope they do it similarly to what they did in Boast Busters, and show the difference between being a jerk and being assertive while still encouraging and putting enough emphasis on the latter.

Amana said...

Hmm...return of the stare master? Can already see training montage set to Eye Of The Tiger (Eye of the dragon) or fan made ones.

The Numberman said...

This looks like it's gonna be a lot of fun!

3p1c_d3m0n said...

I sooooo exited 4 dis epidode.

Tokyo Oranges said...

Oh my Celestia

Can't wait for his episode! 8D

Sandman said...

DUDE!
Fluttershy's face at the end was so adorable.

Moral of the Story:
"Dear Princess Celestia,
Today I learned that you need to stand up for yourself and be assertive, but don't be a douche about it.
-Fluttershy"
I'm paraphrasing, but you get the idea.

Floof Cat said...

As I said on Facebook and YouTube...

Seems folks wanting to take advantage of others in Ponyville always do the same thing; they come with a portable stage. First Trixie, then the Flim Flam Brothers, and now Iron Will.

This won't end well.

Mr.Money said...

Most easily led crowd.

HMorris73 said...

@wackypony
Well when your assertiveness coach's methods involve teaching students to be jerkasses for money that kind of goes without saying...

Masquerade313 said...

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!
This is a Flutterwry I can love and tolerate.

Qetuo said...

@wackypony

I was thinking that too, but then I realized that he was advertising to the whole town, not just Fluttershy.

So what I'm thinking is, kinda the same thing, but spread throughout the whole town.

kihap said...

Only one thing bothers me.

From what I can tell based on my own observations, goats, unlike sheep, don't appear to be sentient. My basis for this theory is the appearance of a goat in the background of the "Find a Pet" song.

If that is the case, I am worried that Fluttershy will start being harsh to her animals, such as the lovable douchbag, Angel.

Arnon Katsu said...

I'm calling it now, FS becomes too assertive and ends up hurting RD's feelings badly. Congradulations Rain, you're the new Fluttershy.

Flutterlove said...

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love Fluttershy more than I already do, I see THIS.

Trippn said...

Omg this episode is GONNA BE AMAZING!!!!!!! Also Minotaurs?? HOLY&*%$

y2kyle89 said...

The site should be Iron-Will Park after the episode comes out.

burntfish44 said...

you guys and your spoilers....

Arnon Katsu said...

I'm calling it now, FS becomes too assertive and ends up hurting RD's feelings badly. Congradulations Rain, you're the new Fluttershy.

Don't Call Me Brony (Please) said...

Oh, wow. Minotaur motivational speaker, complete with the dorky little headset mic and voice that makes me wonder if he's going to snap into a Slim Jim.

This is going to be fun.

elizalishly said...

FLUTTERSHY EPISODE EVERYPONY!!!!! EEEEEEEEE!!!!

/ROYAL CANTERLOT COMMENT

AniRichie said...

Just like that self help guy from Napoleon Dynamite. XD

Firespikez said...

no no NO NO NO NOT FLUTTERBITCH AGAIN :C

Brony2you said...

THE RETURN OF FLUTTERBITCH!!!!
THIS IS GOING TO BE FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!!!

HMorris73 said...

@burntfish44
The way I see it it's not a spoiler when it's officially released.

Cyberlight said...

This clip Reminds me of Boast Busters... i dont know why

Nolim said...

I count three Colgates.

richfiles said...

@Rafasde
Eye of the Pony! I totally hear that too!

Sire Swordhooves said...

1)Minotaur's are canon FTW!!
2)Money garbing Minotaur's are canon FTW!!
3)Fluttershy had a wingboner when he was garbing her hoof. I have such a dirty mind...

Simple said...

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought of POWERTHIRST!!!!!! while watching this.

Torey said...

SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM! OHHHH YEAAAAA!

MegaPatron said...

F--Flutterbitch??? T_T

ANDYLUKK said...

@Simple That was literally my first thought, after the fact that he had HANDS!!!

FreezingShock said...

@Arnon Katsu I really don't think it's going to end up being that personal. Fluttershy becoming an asshole seems pretty likely, though.

James Rye said...

@Firespikez

Oh yes yes yes yes yes YES, Flutterbitch again!

I bet it will be Twilight who she takes it too far with her assertiveness or whateva you call it. XD

faehl said...

She's too adorable... it made me smile. :)

Mark said...

Fluttershy becomes The Situation.
Mother of God.

Rafasde said...

@James Rye

I'm betting on Rainbow!

Piper said...

Fluttershy was due and we all knew it. I would love to get a view of her parents since we have seen everypony's parents except Shy and RD so far.

Duke_of_Donuts said...

Is anyone else thinking of this when watching this clip?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uj6Vp-KFS4

sygmus said...

Iron Will: You've got to be assertive!
Fluttershy: Beep beep!
Iron Will: Not INsertive!

Eddmario said...

@feint
Spike the dragon would like to talk to you.

RavenFreak said...

That plot, he just hit it :O

Pink Champagne said...

I think her assertiveness will backfire and she's going to push the wrong pony (or other creature) and end up putting her 'hoof' in her mouth.

William Marederface said...

Aww, I was hoping the coach would be voiced by Diedrich Bader.
Otherwise, looks like an awesome episode.

Firespikez said...

@James Rye whatever. I'm not watching if if Fluttershy's actually getting her character ruined again. I don't think I could stand that sight without getting depressed, let alone seeing the wave of fan art that would follow.
What a shame.

NoponyMan said...

Oh man, this clip is hilarious! I know I'm gonna totally enjoy this episode now. XD

It's cool to see that even more races are being added to Equestria, and he looks like he's gonna be really funny. Plus, the fact that his voice actor might be the same one who did Hercule in Dragon Ball Z makes it that much more awesome. I always thought that Hercule was ridiculously funny, and Iron Will looks like he will also deliver some great humor.

Thar said...

Another mythical creature that is a total jerk. When will the imaginary get a GOOD light?

The Wandering Magus said...

Dear Princess Celestia,
GTFO you meanie, I don't need YOU telling me what to do! Aww, are those tears? Cry some more!
- Flutter*erased*cruel
****
*ten seconds later*
TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON BEEEEYAAAAAAAACH

Duke_of_Donuts said...

@sygmus

IW: There's the guy who took your ice cream, don't you want it back?
FS: Ice Cream!
IW: Tell him off, Fluttershy, assert yourself!
FS: That's my ice cream cone!
IW: Great, now let him have it!
FS: You can have it.
IW: NOOOO!

TengenFlare said...

My prediction:
People are gonna tear this episode apart with a bloody stick. Then pick up their mare do well "Stick" and beat it again.

Then proceed to comment on getting over your head fluttershy was too predictable. (You know it could happen.)

Then while trying to enjoy the episode my mind will be invaded with rants on it Saturday, and all throughout the week.
(The elitist fans atleast.) .....I really hope no one goes overboard

Then again maybe not. Mane 6 arnt doing anything (As far as I know.) insulting most likely. So no matter what the final result is im sure it'll get more praise than MDW.
...........But then theirs derpy and that rage.:/

Thar said...

Also, not sure that the minotuar is Iron Will. Gilda, and Spike, the other mythical creatures we have names for, have normal names. Iron Will sounds much more like a pony name.

Corgidan said...

"THE RETURN OF FLUTTERBITCH" OMYGOSHOMYGOSH DFVGHBFYTSFRGHNJYDRGHNJHREFHJMUKTTDGHJMKUDHTXGJKUHT!!!!!!!!!

LuridChronomancer said...

I HATE the term Flutterb!*%^. It'd break her heart if she heard you say that.

Michael_Manley_426 said...

@Jordan

Can't be. With the exceptions of Tara Strong (who does Twilight's speaking voice and nobody else) and John de Lancie (who was a major guest character), the show strictly uses Vancouver-based voice talent. Chris Rager is based in Texas, so it's not him.

HMorris73 said...

@Firespikez
Well I don't really get why it bothers so much, but I think you should give the ep a chance. You won't know what it will be like until it actually comes out.

Sonar009 said...

Omigod minotaurs. Also, anyone see total ponyville destruction incoming?
