Episode 114 - Magic Superhero Outfit Transformations

Hey.  Y'know what really grinds my gears?  When superheroes or similar characters make outfits/costumes appear magically when that's clearly not part of their powers.  The best example that every here will know is when the Equestria girls use their friendship laser powers and it gives them all magnificent superhero costumes that look like they took Rarity months to design.  Why is that part of the power?  Makes no sense.  And how about good ol' Elsa making her dress during Let It Go?  She's Iceman.  She's a cryokinetic.  Why can she magically make a dress appear?  :Cozy:  And where did the dress she was previously wearing go?!  :dry:  Another example off the top of my head is Storm in the pilot of the old '90s X-Men cartoon.  At the mall when the sentinel attacked, Storm surrounded herself with electricity which magically transformed her street clothes into her super suit for no reason.  I think she did the same thing when demonstrating her power to Jubilee later at the school.  WHY?  That has NOTHING to do with Storm's power!  I mean, I can kinda let the EG and Elsa slide, but X-Men should be held to a higher standard.  The mutant's powers are supposed to have more continuity than that.  Why on Earth can Storm magically change outfits??!!  :glimmer:

Every time characters do this, I just hear Ryan George saying,

"Wait, can their powers actually do that?"  :huh:

"Maybe, who's to say?"

"Well okay then!"  :ticking:

Same reason so many superheroes can fly. Jut to save time. And so this doesn't happen:

 

I do have a theory about Elsa. She can modify the dress by suspending ice crystals in the cloth which change the shape and also refract light to change the color. At least in the first movie. In Frozen Fever she was modifying Anna's dress and making flowers float and such weird things.

Another thing that grinds my gears is when a character transforms/shrinks/becomes invisible and ninety percent of the time their clothes go with them. When Twilight comes to the EQG world she's wearing clothes she wasn't even wearing in her world! Spike's wearing a dog collar! Does he somehow magically have an up to date dog tag on there too??

I know, I know, it's tv, it's a cartoon, they don't want the characters running around naked. But it just takes me out of it. :dry:
