    too many redemptions in the show?

    Yeah the show also taught us that no matter that if you try hard enough you could be friends with ANYBODY that's not a villain. I'm trying to be friends with alot of people I meet and some don't want that, so does that mean they're villains? :P 

    Well, we're talking about villains here, not people who don't want to be friends; Maud didn't become a friend with any member of the Mane 6 in the beggining (not counting Pinkie), and that doesn't make her a villain. I actually don't see how your response adds something, we're talking about villains

    The show is about friendship , forgiveness, after all... but yeah, I think they really overused it. I mean, I'm not talking about torturing the villain, but stopping him/her can be done by putting the villain into prison; not torture, it's not a light punishement as well, but too much redemption kills the vibe of having a villain, because we know that at one time, the villain will become good. Plus, we have Tirek in prison; why not the others?

    Is there any hope for EQG's characters?

    in Equestria Girls

    I personnally don't see it as an "Alternate Universe" as in another universe, but more like an "Adaptation" to another kind of universe.

     I think that the EQG multiverse is a fusion of two different kinds of multiiverses: the MLP one, and you guessed it, our own. Yep; I don't think the EQG multiverse is supposed to be our own because, hell, too much differences. I think that at some point, the MLP and the human multiverses kind of "touched", giving birth to another multiverse, and that is the EQG one.

    So having the same characters doesn't really surprise me actually; not saying it pleases me, just doesn't surprise me.

    Do the Royal Guard suck as much as people think?

    Oh I agree that it is not the same force. But I should have been enough force so that repeated hitting would cause fatal injuries or in the case of pegasi send them flying towards the ground.

     

    And yeah ponies are pritty stupid. But not more stupid than humans.

    That's understandble.

     

    Yeah, but I think that they are more naive.

    The question is how much does the angle matter when fighting with a hoof since it isn't the same thing as when fighting with hands. I mean no matter what angle the blunt force is still there. 

     

    And no I cannot imagine that. However I can imagine US soliders leaving a nuclear missile silo open and unlocked which was discovered by a person delivering Chinese food to said soldiers because that actually happend.

    I agree, but I still think it's not the same force.

     

    Well, that's incompetent as hell. Then, I never said humans are perfect;crazy fact: they're idiots. But ponies aren't geniuses either.

    Here are the calculations I was talking about showing just how strong ponies can be:

     Also I will admit that they did kinda screw up at canterlot, but in our history there have been worse screw us by rather competent militaries.

    I never said that Maud wasn't OP in this scene; but the thing is, as I said, the gards weren't fighting in the same way Maud was punching that rock even if they're strong; if you fight a boxer in a true fight, you'll be destroyed, but if you fight the kitten way, the boxer will be as ridiculous.

    Plus, here he's talking about Maud Pie, and only her, not "ponies" in general; did you see how all of the Mane 6 was like "WAIT WAT", that shows it's not common. I suppose that guards are as strong (at least I hope) though, so yeah; then it depends on how you're fighting.

     

    Yeah, I agree that we weren't perfect in our history, but do you imagine a guard in the White House abandoning the US president's safety because he found a cake on the ground? Because that's what happenened with the guards.

    Well if you take the scenes so seriously then you have to remember that maud, according to calculations by commander firebrand, would have to be strong enough to punch strait through a human skull to break a rock the way she did. If the average pony is only half that strong then each hit could easily lead to heavy internal bleeding. I the show we might only see them lying on the ground in pain, but in reality they would be bleeding out internaly. Also cats kill each over when they fight.

    In the season 7 episode a flurry of emotions we see one of the royal guards that rarity interrogated and he seems to have been fired after the incident.

     

    The thing is Maud was hitting rock with the point of her hooves, with a consecutive punching motion; I'm here talking about "kitten fight" notion, it's not the same hitting power at all; try taking a punch or fight a in a kitty way, that's not the same level of hitting power. Plus here they don't have claws.

    Only one guard or not, the fact is that his mission was to protect the monarch's castle, and he was distracted so easily; I think that's worrying.

    Yeah you have a good point about training. And after all the most serous threat in the last 1000 years where probably wild animals which aren't that hard to take care of.  At the same time the attack on canterlot was done by an overwhelming force that had air superiority and took out thir leadership before the attack. So even if they where well trained they would have been overwhelmed. Heck the man 6 where overwhelmed by the changlings. After all the only time we got to saw the royal guard in open combat was in the crystal war, and they seemed to handle themselves there okay.

     

    Also yeah that was a 40k reference. Wouldn't really consider myself a real 40k fan but I do really like the universe. Also  taking it a bit out of context and you have a species led by an imortal ruler, fighting off attacks by evil creatures and spirits of chaos, with an ineffective military where only a hand full can do actual damage. Sounds kinda familier. 

    Well, if you consider fighting like cats being ''handeling themselves", then yeah, they're okay.

    I never took and probably won't ever these guards seriously; they're kind of incomptent, let's face it... first of all, I take what we see in the show as what would happen in the true universe, so when I see them (and Sombra's soldiers) fight like... cats, litterally, it's not because it's a kid's show, no, it's because that's what is hapening in the true MLP universe, and that's kind of... well, I'm gonna be quiet about that, even if their efficacity is debatable...

     

    But another episode in which I understood that they're not a big deal is the one in which Rarity is a detective; I remember that they were distracted by a cake. A cake. That's the people who are supposed to protect the monarch; yeah, efficacity at its peak. Of course, they said their situation was "bad", but when you begin such a job, you're not supposed to be distracted by a cake.

     

    And that's why I just can't take them seriously... the plot could be asking for it, but then, that universe is what we have as reference, and they're not that great in it.
