My little pony: The musical. Way too many songs, they knew they was screwed story wise so they just jammed it all into as many song as possible. Its transparent and to be honest most of the songs don't even sound that good, they have there moments and sure there are a few good ones but since their basically using a song for a scene to cram all the story in, it all means that if the song doesn't tickle my taste I am already at uneven ends with that part of the scene/ story segment. No, I didn't like Celestia singing. Lauren said once that they made her to be some sort of figure that no one really knew her limitations or at least what she truly knows and does not know. While I don't know if that definition still truly fits Celestia after the end of season two I do think it was meant to be a part of her atmosphere and for some reason seeing her jump out and basically sing expedition feels as artificial as a bunch of men in suits attaching puppet strings to her limbs and making her dance. Story pacing is horrible, it doesn't have the intrigue or wonderful hooks to make you in awe at the concept alone so they have to be developed, which they are not because the pacing is terrible. This isn't doctor who...hell..doctor who had more pacing than this and that Series has made no qualms about rushing scenes by back and forth in order to prod the story along but they also had whacky and insane ideas to chew on at least even if it was quick at times. Generic nonchalant ending(refering to the end screen shot here), the only way it could be worse is if they made them all jump into the sky and freeze frame with their hooves in the air. Twilight Personalities basically melts away under the sea of crap suddenly forced onto her, its like someone grabbed her and suddenly started ripping her flesh off and then yelled "YOU'RE A PRINCESS, YOU'RE A PRINCESS" Like some sort of agitated, obsessive schizoid murderer. In the end I don't really see how twilight thinks about this because she given as little time to process it and as we are. So they just skip to presumed acceptance and joy. Random gratitude speeches don't make me accept it, twilight might be grateful but I'm not, make me happy for her. Don't just say it and give me a few tears. Expedition was not given when it was needed most: Where the song that explains why the other are not turned into Alicorns, the elements of harmony are a team. She doesn't exhibit all these traits, she works in a unit where these traits are combined together in a uniform, a squad. Why is she a princess....WHY...there no explanation actually given... "heres a spell" "ok thanks" "you fixed it, welcome to the void dimension, lol" "you be a princess now cuz I watched you and...for some reason that spell makes you a princess" "ok, thanks. Oh noes. I'm a princess" "yes you are" Nothing explained. Its basically "How does Twilight become an alicorn" and celestia replies "princess" and why the hell is Twilight using Star swirl work. She finishes the last page and she gets the reward, what did the magical legend who is implied to have mastered and changed magical art not good enough. Oh, no. He just didn't have someone 99% of the studying and life work for him thats all... Studying friendship maybe but still...standing on the shoulders of giants and then getting the benefit of all his stuff and due recognition (yes. I am suggesting he should be an alicorn. If wer handing it out like candy we should probably give it to the most prominent spoken lore name in the show that used as a powerful none god/spirit/ alicorn) Whole idea in a nut shell: Twilight becomes an alicorn. How it was handled and told: Yeeeeeeeeeeeees (its drawn out because its a song) Maybe I'm just failing anal fortitude rolls(raging and butthurt). People who read my status updates know I just had my hope revived for silent hill-my childhood love- and it destroyed again within a span of a day, so the smoke is still steaming off me. But, I honestly couldn't watch this. I had to force myself too, I felt embarrassed for the show half way and un-interested during it all. So, I'm not going to lie I got reasons to be bias about my fandoms right now and the shows they are devoted too. P.S: I wasn't even apart of the twilicorn debates before this. THEORY! What if THIS is a part of the destiny bending spell...? Maybe not but that just hit me, that would make a cool plot twist.

The only issue with those ideas though is that we are assuming the ponies have the same intellect as humans which I don't believe. There are a number of reasons why. Culturally the pony race is slow and degraded because they don't look for science to over come their issues and bring new ideas, they overly rely on magic to keep them safe and warm. Any civilization that doesn't actively seek to master their surroundings and control them in order to surpass their limitations will always come to an impasse on how much they can understand. The three races are so used to living in a world where magic just jumps out and saves them that when the elements of harmony can't stop an opposing force using a method of construction they don't understand they'll most likely be blind sided totally as a race before fully understanding and countering whats going on, especially the unicorns who are filthy rich in magic they would probably be confused that such things can be done without it. They also rely on genetic balance, a genetic arch that is totally DESTROYED and deconstructs their society if they have it disrupted. kill the princess-oh, CRAP-kill too many earth ponies-they go hungry- kill too many unicorns-they can't get enough magic out there- kill too many pegasis and so on. Humans don't see weapons then copy them, no one has that sort of hyper intelligence. If that was the case the Germans would of gone "Russians tanks look good, eh. Lets make those instead of our daleks" and become an all dominating force. They would need to do the following(Sorry if I took that too literally): 1-Understand how science works enough to comprehend the use of minerals and items/ widgets inside our stuff. At best they would get that the end bit shoots projectiles and the handle bit clicks, given a few months they might actually understand the principles but not half the reasons it was made or why it works so well. 2-Understand how to adapt that to ponies bodies. 3- Actually obtain the weapons to take them apart and assimilate them. they clearly have trouble creating basic weapons to begin with because if they didn't they would of made them, there would be no point in halting that sort of progress. Their using swords and spears for a reason. I mean...they don't even have cars yet..they have trains- I assume magical mixed with science- if they can't make a CAR, a big moving box out of magic yet then I think they'll most likely very limited on what they can do with magical devices and science. I do think actual magical equipment such as rings and amulets/ relics would pose a problem but...you know...guns/nerve gas/ flame throwers/ explosives. If ponies did the third humans could just win outright. Because they can't take apart biological attacks and we would figure out they've been taking our guns from the corpses soon enough to understand how they work. Thats not assuming we don't put some sort of explosive device onto the gun or solders to attach to themselves when they die-sort of like those corpse traps the Japanese would use in WW- Then so, that assuming they manage to get guns. Five dudes with a machine gun could probably break the shield of any unicorn, gun down any pegasis and tear to pieces any armor So, really any place humans would inhabit would pretty much be a kill zone. Their only vague hope is sending in the fastest flying scout troops possible to sneak in and take stuff before humans do clean up and call in reinforce. Once again, even if they managed to make one or two magical copies of the original they would most likely not be on the same quality and take longer to give out to the army/ train and really even if ponies did ecaslate the war that much we would just kill them with missiles....no reason not too. I mean....at that point you got two options as a race: A whole new race war with a species that got their home invaded wanting to strike back-possibly- with weapons and magic, turning a dominion/resource dispute into a total race war. or you could just send a few missiles in there and send in two tanks to clean up the place or planes then go ask them if they surrender. Then it comes down to numbers/ genetic disposability and adaptability overall experiences as a race. Humans win in all of those and their chain of command is so flexible especially when you put multiple cultures into the mixture that offing a few of just doesn't do the job, it would at best disrupt command momentarily before they get even madder or more aggressive with their push. All we need is a sniper and to go "look, that big one with the wings and horn" I don't think that its a bad ending though. The worse that I think would happen would be that pony have a minor war and then lose minimal numbers before they try to negotiate again after seeing what we can do or they peacefully talk. We are weird aliens but we would basically swoop down and go "Alright, wer going to give you the power to do science and kick start you race another 400 years or so forward technologically. Just let us build on some of your land, grab some resources and gives us a direct trade of your diamonds" Humans would of course experiment first and I believe they would just try and include ponies into the human race as equal or at least members of the community with value and rights of some sort. If humans could travel from Earth to Equesteria-the space flight one- they wouldn't really do anything I would imagine. They would most likely just set up trade routes, talk about cohabitation and trade tech for magic. Thats all they really can do besides send a high powered missile through space to them or something...and good luck convincing people to waste the money building ships to house entire regiments with a stasis sleep to go kill multi colored ponies. I'm more thinking portals to this current day humanity.
