ROBOT B9 wrote:Anyway, have you seen all of S4 as of yet? If you haven't, you really should check it out.
Sobana wrote:Yes, dear, we all grew up in the 90's.![]()
Not sure, I just remember the reason behind the name for the character.

I'm not hard to please, though

I still wish we had more finales like the S1 finale

I've never ever heard of this. Is that something you got a source for, or just your personal musing?
DerFurShur wrote:You can't exactly say Magic Duel didn't explain enough that the amulet was corrupting Trixie when the epsidoe explocitly says it.
Plus there were even more subtle clues like Trixie's eyes glowing red the first time we see her and her magic aura being changed to red.
Fizzbuzz wrote:I think that what we got with Trixie was great. Sure, she could have turned into something like Nightmare Moon, but I think the way she was brought around to be a somewhat sympathetic pompous ass has been more interesting. The same with Discord, there was an opportunity to keep him around as a morally ambiguous trickster instead of leaving him as a statue forever.
ROBOT B9 wrote:
I pretty much agree with this, plus the fact making a new Nightmare Moon would have seemed a little repetitive to some people.
ROBOT B9 wrote:Yeah, but I think that they did more with Discord than just repeat the same thing he did in RoH.
AppleCobbler44 wrote: It turned Trixie into a comical villain out of nowhere when really she was far from being 'evil' in Boast Busters,...but worst of all, I felt the Magic Duel effectively ended the possiblity of having Trixie become a bigger villain who would have mirrored Luna's fall from grace and thus having Twilight and Trixie resemble their predecessors.

I'm not sure if I would say EQG 1 was worse than the worst episode. If anything, I'd rather watch the first EQG 10 times over, than go back to rewatch MMMystery once. Or Last Roundup for that matter.
AppleCobbler44 wrote:
To be honest, I was not a fan of having him return in the first place (sort of makes RoH's struggles and victory rather pointless since he was gonna come back anyway)
fenster wrote:
Huh? First you complain that Trixie turns to a villain when she was characterized as more silly before....then complain that the episode didn't leave room open for Trixie to actually become a villain? You can't really have it both ways.

I still wish we had more finales like the S1 finale. Something slice of life and fun to end the season

Admittedly, I am a bit confused by the second part of your question.Hopefully I answered it. Sorry for any confusion.
AppleCobbler44 wrote:
Heck, at the end of the episode, when Trixie does give her amulet away to get the fake amulet, we apparently don't see any consequences of her taking it offShouldn't she become normal again and go: "Wait, what just happened?" Instead, she's still evil since she tried to zap Rainbow Dash into agony.
