about time I replied, but thank you



there is a ligament reason there was a controversy over the princess plot device



akin to why the show struck the heartstrings of so many before hand



I apply all I said to this picture as a "what if" our humanity crossed paths with season 4-rainbow rocks mlp ponies and their equestria human counterparts



they and both we lose because of so many people left and forsaken to suffering via the carelessness and arrogance of man and the hells it brings and there is no salvation to be found in equestria because it is now clear that it feeds of a different but no less fatal delusion



no matter where you turn, there is only one version of the same blindfold to be found.



everyone loses.



not unlike the observations of Fredrick Douglas on slavery and Martian Luther King Jr. on racial law based discrimination- the target suffers, the one taking aim suffers, precious resources and lives are wasted, stagnation is the status quot., everyone misses out on better opportunities, subjective superstition rules over reason that labors to be objective



and everyone loses under the illusion of gain



just like the show now loses under the illusion of progress.



the ignorant and careless praise it.



the perceptive are not happy with it.



those that never cared probably still don't.



and the once gem that was an accident that became a mirical turns into a tragedy and no reasoning changes that... not unlike the plot resolution and logic of "my little dashie" which unlike the show, presented itself as a what if theory as all fan fictions do, which is why it was a far more acceptable story.



so the lacking reasoning about how the cannon material can be warped nearly so eaily as a fan fic without repercussions is invalid and does not hold water as it operates under the "its just a fictional stroy" idea and that there is no real relevance either way



I doubt many would take kindly to that idea when we consider characters like Mohamed, King Arther, or Jesus



so it would seem the entire backing for the plot device of destiny with the princes stereotype-genotype has roots in traditional superstitious themes, cinisim, and profiteering



the toys are now driving the show rather than the show inspiring toys.



this will cause the line and the toon to outright flop sooner (and need a reboot to even pretend to matter again or have to start all over) and die in people's hearts in exchange for a regrettably empty fad high and quick profit...



sadly like the fady toons they are trying to compete with... barbie eclipsed by bratz eclipsed by the much better thought out monster high.... which is acutally a lot more human and tangible than the previous two



of which the princess device as it has been built up into, is trying to use the same type of theme that got barbie and bratz to fade and be less of a cultural vitamin because of it - the myth and lie of perfection, goal of and for perfection, and the (not worthiness) of perfection pretending it is worthy



where monster high is proud to say it is "perfectly imperfect"



which was the unspoken and not focused on theme that made the mlp generation 4 work so well



the toon has now been made the weaker side compared to the toy line beacuse now it isn't even itself anymore and is supporting an empty notion of which mankind's world is full of



and Equestria is supposed to thrive of another form of empty notion... that is the big surprise...? that is their greatness?



...... so why should we care now?



this turns that inspiration and fascination that made the show an unexpected success into a waste... with the whole story and setting now displayed as always a waste from the very beginning as this princess plot is supposed to be an expansion/ improvement... as if its lacking function that comes at a one way cost is okay... a path of locking doors and inflexibility



you cant pretend you didn't made a piss poor choice by twisting the following action to seem ligament with now careless and blind characters that are treating fire like soap suds with the results of soap suds instead of third degree burns



Star wars made that mistake and it was too clumsily covered for people to NOT notice. even if it was gracefully covered, what really happened is unchanged and that is what really matters.



ironically Thomas the tank engine has matured enough to show say display and maintain that very message.



go figure. :/
