My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Headscratchers/Season 1: Difference between revisions

*** I hear this excuse a lot, but I don't believe it. True, Trixie's first announcements were just hyperbole and par for the course of any magic show, but then she gets downright insulting and condescending, and not only is that bad conduct, it also seems, to me, to be bad business; you ''never'' flat-out insult the audience. Poking fun is one thing, but direct verbal attacks (even when they're not directed at the audience as a whole) can (and should) cause a huge backlash. If media examples from the last several years are anything to go by, there's very little room for "attitude" and oversensitivity when entertaining a crowd.

** To make up your own minds, here are snippets of that key dialogue:

'''Trixie''': Why, only the great and powerful Trixie has magic strong enough to vanquish the dreaded Ursa Major! }}

 

*** Fluttershy could have offered the same criticism in a much less bitchy, patronizing tone. And she also just flat-out insulted Rarity by calling her hand-made dress "prêt-à-porter" ("off the rack").

*** My pick for worst behaved during the second montage is Pinkie Pie. Some pertinent quotes:

'''Rarity''': Streamers it is. }}
