Yep. Looking at this mess from accross the ocean, I can only wonder if certain people don’t see the forest for the trees. As far as I’m aware there are no real laws which allow for racial or national segregation in the US? Actually, there’s one called “affirmative action”, and I’m quite sure that black protesters would rather not lose that now, would they. Even though it is kinda racist since it implies that they need it to succeed. Idk.

So, we are talking people having prejudices against other races on a more day-to-day domestic level. And, well. You can’t protest against stuff in people’s heads. It doesn’t quite work like that. Yet I noticed that the notion of colorblind society also seems to horrify leftists on the US? Which is pretty weird not gonna lie.

Her canon was atrociously bad, bland and worst yet stupid. Fluffle started alright, but grew kinda stale for me over time since not much interesting was going on.
So I think I’ll side with this:

But I guess OP is technically correct in the same way as plain inoffensive drinking water is better than smelly rotten mush.

@mjangelvortex
First of all, in hindsight, I might’ve been a bit (yea, right… just a bit) too rude. Apologizes for that. Glad to see more civilized discussion emerging though.

Are all the qualms you have with this scene the fault of the writers exclusively? Maybe the script said that the villains were overwhelmed by the number of attackers and the storyboard artists and animators came up with this?

A fair point. I’m a bit too used to discussing movies where there’s a screenwriter who normally develops both the story and how it’s executed. So indeed, can’t put it on the writers completely.

I dunno. This reminds me of a person being swarmed by bees.

Yes and not exactly. I’d say it’s more like being swarmed by seaguls I guess. And since person in question is armed with magic which is basically an omni-gun, it just feels silly to see someone being able to take on hard-hitters one moment and then get rather overwhelmed by smaller guys and girls the other. Kinda detracts from experience. Might be just me tho.

That’s very rude. How about don’t insult other people’s intelligence just because you disagree with them?

Well, yea, that didn’t come out the way I intended it to. My bad, no sugarcoating here. The idea was that something which is happening on the screen is just so off, it starts to cause discomfort and inner (and sometimes outer) questions like “Why?” “How?” “But… but… for crying out loud! If this works now, why didn’t they?..” and etc.

I know, right? It’s amazing that the show has lasted this long, has such a huge fanbase of people from all walks of life (all genders, children, teens, and adults), and didn’t resort to treating children (its main target audience) like idiots.

Maybe, I’m just a jaded old fa… ahem, person. But personally, I feel like the initial spark of the show has slowly gone out as the seasons went on. Sure, I’m biased as hell against S06 finale for obvious subjective reasons one can find on my profile pic, and Starlight didn’t land with me as good as she did with others, but there’s something else which is now missing. Not sure what. Maybe I’m just out of sync with the current direction.

Dude. This show isn’t really known for good ways of thwarting villains. Even in the earlier seasons, they pulled some serious plot-armor BS via the power of love or friendship (with or without the aid of a special magical Maguffin) to defeat the baddies.

True. But they had 8 seasons of experience to learn and see what worked, and what made people sigh and call out Deus Ex. It’s the end of 9 years of what can only be described as a cultural phenomenon, and of course I wanted it to go out gracefully, yet with a bang. You know, to put down a beautiful yet bold final stroke of the story we’ve been enjoying for so long despite the flaws. Something along the lines of “There’s not going to be FIM after this, so let’s make these episodes to be ed!” A swan song of sorts. Wait, that’s too depressing, but you got the idea. Doesn’t have to be a period, too. It can be an ellipsis just as well.
But the current ending just doesn’t live up to it personally.

It’s a scene that is the last hurrah of the series. The show is called Friendship is Magic, right? The show revolves around that as its theme. This scene depicts a whole bunch of friends and allies the main cast has made during the course of the series. All of them uniting together to help defeat a common enemy.

Exactly what I was thinking. It’s the one final hurrah. But it’s just… not done well enough IMO. Not this scene in particular, just the whole finale overall. It’s alright while it should be breathtakingly amazing, and not just the visuals but every other aspect. Think of a clever battle (TV-Y) plan, try and weave in some more interesting thoughts and ideas, DON’T go for “subverting expectations” at the expence of everything else like they did with the Grogar twist, etc. In fact, in this very scene, something as simple as showing a couple of good guys getting hit and/or not showing villains being bumbling and helpless fools could go a fair distance to improve the impression given here while maintaining the general idea of friendship and working together AND not harming the perceived threat levels of the big bads.

Oh well. No sense of crying over a spilled milk after all. Still, feels kinda bad to go out on such an average note.
