Nope. This is a bad edit creating manufactured drama from the true drama from the show. That’s all I am stating. If Tank was actually dead then yeah maybe it would be appropriate. If this was satire or making out to be what Dash was actually thinking hibernation was, then it would be fine. However she is well aware of Tank’s inevitable return.
@Scrounge
Okay so you are saying it is flawed to say that all edited screenshot pictures do not illicit an emotional response. How about when they are so obvious and forced like this one, they do not illicit that response. Is that more specific for you? Who the hell ever said this was a rule anyway? Is it wrong to be worried about the emotional instability of people on the internet that will cry over a lousy screen cap edit?
@Zeyon
Neither, I’m saying your premise is flawed. Being an edit does not prevent something from being sad. This one may miss the mark a bit, but that doesn’t mean they all will. Just because something isn’t “authentic” doesn’t mean it can’t cause and emotional reaction.
@Scrounge
So… I am saying a this specific image edit is trying to make an actual scene sadder on the editor’s whim thereby pushing it over the top, and you are interpreting what I am saying into we cannot be sad about fictional characters at all. Did you just not read my post, or are you not understanding my words?
@Scrounge
Many sad moments in cartoons for children makes me cry (“Pony Puppy” from G1, for example). But not this episode. It’s more cringeworthy than sad.
(But it’s still okay episode I guess. Definitely not the worst.)

The whole time during that sequence I was making Ex Parrot comments and my wife was making horrified faces, because it really looked like she was just dancing with a slack corpse.
Agreed.
Fair enough.
Also, seeing crosses used as religious symbols in Equestria is always a little weird.
Sorry meant to reply. Read below. Some times the editing would be complementary or fitting, but this is just too phony.
I was under the impression you were saying it was a rule.

I meant in general, not in specific.

That’s like saying we shouldn’t care about the characters in a cartoon because it’s fictional.
FEEEELS
You too, eh?

So, RD was delusionally flying around and singing with a corpse? Totally not creepy.
Also, OP is not a duck so much as a vulture.

And it’s not like they’d need to pay a voice actor.
