Protagonist-Centered Morality: Difference between revisions

Line 290:

** Granted Rainbow Dash at least Lampshades this [[Hypocrisy Nod|on her part]], and in the end, Trixie is humiliated (indirectly) by the ''far'' more humble acting Twilight Sparkle.

** To be fair, Trixie first threw out an open challenge to the audience that anything they could do she could do better, then changed the rules of each match-up mid-challenge so that she'd always win, which is what led AJ and Rainbow Dash to be angry enough to start running their mouths. Let's just say everypony except Twilight takes their hoof off their number at least once in this episode.

* [[South Park|Eric Cartman]] combines this trope with [[Self-Serving Memory]], being convinced that he's always right and therefore anyone who disagrees with him is always wrong. The "Coon and Friends" multi-parter illustrates this perfectly; Cartman joins forces with ''freaking'' '''''[[Cthulhu Mythos|Cthulhu]]''''', gets him to kill hippies and [[Justin Beiber]], and is still convinced that he's a superhero and his friends (who refused to go along with this) are villains and assholes. Mysterion (Kenny) [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|calls him out on this]], saying that the only "world" he's making better is his own, by attacking anyone who doesn't march in lock-step with his worldview.
