I agree with you completely. Tempest is an interesting character (I guess) in certain terms. And I read the prequel stories and all that, and I still dont' find her nearly as interesting or as complex as Celestia and Luna. Their situation was a lot more emotionally charged and painful. As for Tempest, little ponies get picked on all the time. The story also really lacks actual information on her parents. Didn't they support her, and love her? Take care of her after the accident? I understand her being upset at her friends and not being too trustworthy of making new friends but as for having people that loved and cared for her---shouldn't her parents have had a hoof in that? And didn't it mention she left the town at a decently young age? HOW? This comes back to the parents thing. Did she NOT have any family that gave a flying pegasus butt about her? Tempest and her reasons for becoming "evil" were shallow and underdeveloped. Not to mention, the Storm King just seemed like a humorous foil. Like, he wasn't the "real" villain. Tempest was supposed to be, and she wasn't really all that threatening. Tirek and Discord were more threatening. Especially Tirek. Even the Prequel stories told little about the Storm King. Why should I be intimidated by him? He did nothing but just show he was the cookie cutter villan that wants all the magic and all the power, with a 'humorous edge'. It's not funny, it's pathetic. He was laughable. I've seen numerous 'blind watches' on YouTube about the movie and a decent bit of them believe that the Storm King was just a distraction and again, laughable.

I am glad that my thread is getting some love! I have another gorgeous picture too! <3

I actually see Starlight Glimmer becoming more if they'd let her. Now, I'm not going to throw a fit if they don't, but you get the idea. She has a lot of potential. She's a character that has a great background, she's intelligent, and talented. I really think she'd be able to take on in Twilight's hoof-prints rather well. And her personality is just different enough where the way she would deal with things is quite fresh, and not a Twilight Copycat. A part of me does hope they'll do more with her, but who knows. Season 8 is around the corner, and we can only imagine what's going to happen.

I honestly had no idea there was such hate for Starlight Glimmer. Like, why is this a thing? I've enjoyed a bit of the run-ins she's had. It took her a while to grow on me but now that she's here, I really could care less what they decided to do with her. Whether she becomes a main character, or not. She's still there and getting screen-time. I mean... .people are just never going to be satisfied, are they?

Surprisingly as much as I love Rarity, Spike and Celestia, I have to say my favourite episode is still "Slice of Life." It has to be the best representation of the different kinds of love that goes on behind the scenes in the show. I'm also a huge Big Lebowski fan, and their appearance in the show was just tops for me.

@A.V. You used a Nostalgia Critic vid/references/reaction therefore you are amazing. Love NC. He's my go-to. Also, perhaps I missed implications here, what about this episode was considered controversial? Did I miss a memo here?

Agreed, almost any mythos with dragons in it explicitly states that they can live well into the thousands. So far, MLP doesn't seem to be deviating much from that mythos. I think Ol' Spike will be just fine. ; )

Another gorgeous horse, I'm sorry, I couldn't peg the breed right off, but the whole pictures is just beautiful! I had to share!

Guys, this one made me almost fall off the bed. XD
