The Vinyl Scratch Tapes/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Even if you're a fan of Vinyl, one can't help but find find Luna's What the Hell, Hero?/"The Reason You Suck" Speech toward her as anything other than epic.
  • Similarly, Vinyl giving Blueblood a piece of her mind immediately upon learning the dick move he pulled on Octavia, then threatening to give put on a concert of her own--then doing it.
  • Trixie calling out Vinyl and the assembled ponies out for their self-congratulatory, sappy, hypocritical drivel that makes Blueblood a villain for locking somepony in a bathroom, but lets Vinyl get away with hiring a criminal slaver and dehumanizing (deponyizing?) a person on a national scale. This includes two immortal goddesses.
    • What's particularly amusing is how well it can be applied on a meta level, regarding how the fans can utterly crucify the jerk-level antagonists (like the fanfic itself did to Blueblood in the first season) but completely ignore the fact that the heroes can go so far as to endanger or destroy the entire town and we'd be expected to love them by the end of the episode.
