I completely loved this episode. I don't mind the "fiction within a fiction" story, because it really draws out the fact that they are like us: enjoying a fiction.

Really great, and really funny.

When I saw Fluttershy "hulk" out, I was with the others jaw-dropped, because it was just really awesome that she did that. I mean, it was just like "That's Fluttershy? No bleeping way."

Dang it! I fixed my last post. By the way...

Having watched this review:


And given all the outbursts Fluttershy's had over the course of the series, it doesn't feel that surprising at all to see her hulk out... Still really fun to watch, though!
 
I decided to watch it after hearing what it was about.

I like the moral, but they REALLY overdid it. Heck, did they even need to use the superhero sidekick analogy over Spike feeling like he's useless? (which is mostly true. I mean, he doesn't do anything in the plot unless the writers make him) They just kept hammering it in, I just wanted them to shut up about it already.
 
Haven't posted about the episode yet myself here. But I enjoyed it. I don't read many comics, but I'm pretty sure I'm familiar enough with the different types of Superheroes (Though oddly enough it took a bit of a pointing out before the Green Lantern connection came up with Rarity) to know how well they matched up most of the Mane 6.

Though there is the part of me that's kinda nitpicking that the Mane 6's powers are all they've had as "normal" ponies. Especially Twilight, who oddly enough I think is nerfed as a Superhero rather then powered up.

The Mane-iac was a pretty nice addition as essentially the Pony joker. (Heck, her origin is the same as the 1989 Batman film).

I also think this is the best Spike has ever been portrayed as in his own episode. And overall the episode is the best Spike episode we've gotten since Secret of my Excess (Dragon Quest had it's fair share of problems and missed opportunity, Spike at your Service was the worst episode of Season 3, and while I don't think Just for Sidekicks was too bad. It was essentially the fun episode where everypony who couldn't appear in every other episode got their part in before the season was over).

Really how much you like this episode depends on how into the ol' Comic Books you are and how much you like Spike. Like I said I don't read too many comics, but I appreciate them to know that any logical fallacies during the Comic Book part count as a subtle parody. And I like Spike more then most Bronies seem to. So yeah, I enjoyed this episode enough to give it a pass. My least favorite of Season 4 is still Castle-Mania after all this time. And I don't even really hate that episode.

BTW, here's the Mysterious Mr. Enter's review of Power Ponies (since the YouTube video is on the verge of copyright limbo, I'm posting a link to his DailyMotion video):

Glad to know he didn't like it either. Though I do like Charlotte Fullerton and don't think she's as bad as he thinks it is, even if I can't really argue with what he says about her episodes.
 
so I watched this episode, and it's the first season 4 one I watched

it was meh, I guess. i still have a nitpick, though

I kinda understand how they justified Fluttershy getting angry after a harmless creature was hurt... but at the same time, she doesn't seem all that concerned when her friends are trapped and the whole city is about to be destroyed. In fact, she's walking out the door! I just feel that whenever Fluttershy is involved, she never cares about anything unless small creatures are involved... which is why Hurricane Fluttershy is the only Fluttershy episode I like, I guess.
 
The episode was okay but had some serious flaws. For one, most of the mane six have powers they already have had, yet they still have trouble with it. Also, the humor was just stupid. Flutter-hulk was not at all funny, I don't think that some big huge monster acting 'cute' and shy is even funny because I wouldn't laugh at it if I was five years-old. Well seeing how there was a writer for Johnny Test(icle) on this show, it's no wonder that crappy humor is present in the episode.
 
I don't about you guys. But I think Episode 11 of Season 4 sounds really exciting

Synopsis: “Three’s a Crowd”: Pinkie Pie finds her status as “super-duper party pony” in jeopardy when the mysterious Cheese Sandwich comes to town and offers to plan an epic party for Rainbow Dash. Guest voiceover by Weird Al Yankovic.

You know what else? This episode will also be a Musical. So this means we'll get lots of singing Weird Al. (Obviously Weird Al will be voicing Cheese Sandwich)
