Just to say this: I don't consider myself a brony. I don't enjoy the show, mostly due to the lack of showing anything in a serious light.

Because of this, I love how they for once showed Tirek in a very serious light. He was introduced like something unknown and threatening, like a villain should. His manipulative nature was, while good, not exploited as much as I'd prefer, and his ultimate betrayal to Discord was done better than expected
