Contrasting/Contradicting Plots?

[Cavatina Operetta 3]

 

It's incredibly late but, I noticed the lesson for the "Town of sameness" episode contradicts one of the lessons from the EG1.

First, twilight questions why everyone is sorted into groups, and as we know, the movie had that "Cafeteria Song. Not too bad a song. But one of the lines was

 

"To know I'm just like you and you're just like me"

 

A good moral, except a season an episode airs which the whole point of is that we are all different and that's a good thing.

And then in the NEXT movie,the dazzlings say

 

"We don't have to be one in the same thing"

And that is the moral of "The town of Sameness'

Basically

the movie suggests an opinion that is wrong

Then that wrong opinion is right

Then that right opinion in wrong again.

This may seem like a stupid thread but.. Can someone just explain?

I think the overall schtick is: "Try whenever possible to treat others with respect despite any differences."

Basically what the Mane 6 are trying yo say is that being unique is something you should embrace as an individual... but you shouldn't let what sets you apart from the crowd make you think you're too different to be in sync with others who might share the same interests or understands you on a level you thought only you experience.

 

The Dazzlings stress that you should embrace your unique talents and use your differences as a weapon to prove you're above the rest.

 

 

To put is simple: both parties recognize "differences". But one party believes you should embrace them to become better than everyone else....while the other says you should embrace them but still be humble enough to share common ground with others.

 

 

 

Hope it helped xD

"If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."

 

 

Basically, what Twilight promoted in Canterlot High was the dissolution of clique's to bring the school together under a common identity. You are just like me = we are all students here. In contrast, what Startlight tried in the town was to use coercion to remove individual talents and gifts that she felt served as a catalyst for ending friendships. While on the surface it may appear to be the same message, context provides a unique perspective.

Thanks to all of you, now it all seems a bit less muffled. So they didn't contradict after all. silly me. Thank y'all!

Unity in Diversity. 

 

Perhaps that is what they are saying.
