Comic: Be Prepared / Luna's Lab

by Sethisto

Cereal says he doesn't want a villian song in FiM. I think it would be awesome, especially something like "be prepared".

Futurama? Where? The first one was a Lion King song, that had nothing to do with Futurama, or am I missing something here?

I am thrilled to see Luna getting so much attention, but the show has been giving more cameos to others as well, especially Derpy and Big Mac. I needs more fan love of them in addition to Luna.

Even with the name giving me full warning, I still was not prepared for 'Be Prepared'. Excellent, excellent piece of work.

Heh, the first one was pretty awesome and Nightmare Moon definitely would make a good Scar.

The second one was both cute and awesome. I believe I recall the episode where the concept originated from.

I was just about to tell the artist of #1 to send it to EqD, and suddenly I see it here. #2 made me nostalgia pretty hard.

#1 Is brilliant, I loved that song. Though Nightmare should have known singing a villain song almost always leads to defeat.
Especially when the pony you try to let fall to their death has wings.

I didn't expect it to be so long and well done though.

#2 It took me a moment to get where this was from but oh dear. I laughed, I do not do that though, i'd lose my balance, perhaps Lyra could teach me there.

#1 I think I enjoyed Past Sins too much because I was desperately hoping for it to be a Nyx-Nightmare Moon song.
But still it was a particularly awesome comic right there.

#2 Hehe, Luna's Laboratory.

Jelfes is talking about the second comic. The Great and Powerful Trixie Brain is a reference from Futurama.

#1 Not too shabby overall of a NMM version of the song. Though now it seems that song is stuck in my head. lol

#2 Oh! There's widdle Woona and her abacus. <3 But haha, Dexter's... errr, Luna's Laboratory! The roles fit too. I could totally see this. :P

I... really want to sing #1. I have the right voice (well, a male villain voice), but my mic is only semi-decent.

Should I still do it?

@P. Pony Ponyson

I know, I hate when I'm reading the site on a mobile device and can't bring some insanely giant file in to full resolution.

The comics were fun though. Lion King, Dexter's Lab and Futurama is one odd bundle of references, but they all worked.

This is one of the greatest comic posts ever. I swear I now have a grin on my face that would rival a certain pink party pony. Either one of these is enough to be overwhelmingly awesome. But both? What are you trying to do, Seth, wreck ED into singularity of awesome?!

A villain song would make this show /the best/.

...I mean, it already is the beset, but it would make me love it more than anything else could.

How do you think he was defeated in the first place?
He tried to do a villain song, its why he looked like he was singing as a statue.

Please, Cereal V is clearly crazy if he doesn't want any villain songs. Everyone knows that Villain Songs are the Best songs; it's a proven scientific fact. Just look at this list I've compiled:
Be Prepared (see above),
Poor Unfortunate Souls ('the Little Mermaid'),
"the Phantom of the Opera",
I've Got Friends on the Other Side ('the Princess and the Frog'),
the Imperial March ('Star Wars'),
See My Vest ('the Simpsons'),
Robot Hell ('Futurama),
'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog',
all of these http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/17640-top-11-villian-songs,
this thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjJWbtCShqo,
and most of 'the Nightmare Before Christmas' (I know Jack Skellington isn't technically evil but he is pretty dark so just give me this one, okay everyone?).

All of them are Villain Songs and all of them are EPIC!!

Well for a Villain song, we need a villain. And Our only main one is currently incased in Stone. Apparantly there is another Villain coming along though, so we shall wait and see.

Cereal is so completely wrong that he has cycled around to right again then kept going, and now is once again wrong.

I was totally hoping for an epic villain song for Discord too. At four episodes in, though, I am just jonesing for any kind of song right now.

I'll be honest. I haven't been a fan of any of the music in the show up to this point. Some people go crazy over it, but it doesn't cut it for me. Especially the theme song. I cringe every time I hear it. But, if they were to take a page from disney's book when it comes to music like in #1, that might actually turn out pretty well. We'll just have to see.
