When her "special ability"--the one that got her her cutie mark IIRC--is to get along with animals? I mean, she's gotten angry before, but not for animals BEING SCARED, sheesh. Rarity putting up with that much crap from ANYONE, even if it -is- supposed to be her Prince Charming? Ridiculous on both counts.
The plots to the other 4 ponies individually I thought was okay, but then that ending... what, exactly, are kids supposed to learn from this? That it's okay to trash a fancy party just because you're not happy? That all adults will do if you do so is just laugh it off and then say "OH YOU LIVENED IT UP GOOD BOY HOWDY?" If the true message was to stick with your friends, cool, but there's just better narratives to get that message across.
TL; DR: I can't wait for Season 2, but I felt like in terms of season finale's, today's episde was just... weak. |
