Earl Grey Ghost

I don't care for her in the slightest, and as silly as it sounds, I can't quite tell you why. I just feel like she's unnecessary. Also, am I the only one who was super disappointed that they belittled Spike by making him a dog and didn't give us a human version of Spike?! I mean come on! Spike is more than just animal side-kick status. I was so disappointed.

Hm, I have mixed feelings on the movie. While I loved the animation, and just from a fan point of view, it was great to see a full length movie. But for the story? I don't know, I only give it a 6/10. : / We get no real backstory on our main villain, and for him to be our main villain, we know next to nothing about him. No exposition at all. Why should we hate him? Just because he's the bad guy? But why is he the bad guy? Why is he like this? What made him evil in the first place? There is no explanation. And that bothers me. And I'm sorry, Tempest is an interesting design, but as for character-----no. We do learn what happened to her horn, sure, but really? Really? It was just a bear in a cave? And she became this horrid hateful pony just because her friends ran out on her as a filly?! Really?! How sensitive and easy to turn do you unrealistically have to be? I expected a bigger reason for the loss of her horn, her scar, and her hatred. I mean, yeah what her friends did was awful, and while there's no excuse for it, they were also children. Children are stupid and make stupid choices, and I'm quite sure everyone here had something similar happen to them with a friend or a sibling, but that didn't turn you into this absolutely horrid person bound for revenge on everyone. That I would assume, takes years of abuse. Speaking of which, where were her parents?! Are you telling me she just left town with no one gong to look for her? How did she survive? Where did she live, how did she eat? Lastly even if you DO read the 'prequel' story/comic, it still answers none of these things. It gives you I guess... more backstory on Tempest, but again answers none of the above. Oh and the Storm King? He goes off like "I bet you wanna know my back story...TOO BAD!" and then just continues to be an arse,and the story goes on following his 'conquests' and all the kingdoms he's stolen from. I cannot take this villain seriously, we know nothing about him to be threatened other than he just acts like a jerky jackarse, steals things, and grins like an idiot while making dumb jokes bossing everyone around. Oh and SURPRISE he didn't keep his promise to help Tempest. e___e so didn't see that coming a mile away. I get that it was mainly targeted to young audiences, but not only do we need to treat our younger audiences with more respect but this show is obviously aware of it's older fan-base. Why insult us as well by making a barely cohesive story-line, unrealistic character arcs and probably one of the most laughable villains I have ever seen next to the Shadow Pony from the latest season. (Also the song pony with the hair in her eyes, and that...what Sia-whoever whom I didn't even know was a real person she was based off was un-needed and just a celebrity plug.) So all in all, visually, yes 8/10, very nice. But for the rest? A wobbly 6/10.
