For example, that shot almost feels identical to the scene last season when Twilight and Starlight rebooted the Map. I wish she were given proper credit but then her actions have been known to rub people the wrong way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The existence of Every Little Thing She Does and her actions there will always be a black mark on her character. If that episode didn't exist (which I wish it didn't), I think people would be a little less harsh on her for her use of magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that episode didn't exist (which I wish it didn't), I think people would be a little less harsh on her for her use of magic. While I don't want to turn this thread into an ELTSD defense discussion, I will say that episode was a necessity for her character. I know people tire of her reliance on magic but that's her point in the show: for writers to expand on magical concepts that would be either too advanced for Rarity or too OOC for Twilight. It's the same thing how all Fluttershy's episodes dealt with her shyness for the longest time until Keep Calm. Starlight has improved with each new episode in terms of her reliance on magic and ELTSD is no exception. It started with No Second Prances-She used magic to make friends easier(cake, Big Mac) but no one ever called her out on it showing early on she has a problem ELTSD-She comes to the realization of selfish desires to only fill her wants with magic (a want to not fail Twi's lessons which she excels at in the magic part so how would this lesson be any different) finally realizing the human aspect of these lessons; they are not for her to complete but to get something out of with the help of someone else who is not just there to help HER succeed. All Bottled Up-No that she understands the human aspect of magic on others she wants to avoid messing up again with them and instead uses magic on herself to protect of the feelings of another starting to become less selfish with her magic. A Royal Problem-After learning previously to not use magic selfishly for her own benefit, she addresses the situation and determines the spell to benefit the other party best. However, she still needs to learn that while it was for unselfish reasons she should not be too hasty (Although that ending line by Celestia may have hurt this). Finally we're brought to this scene-She is in a room clearly casting a spell for the Mane 6, not on them, and doing so with their acknowledgment, as no one seems to be worried or confused at what's going on. Just a guess though so I could be wrong. In the end all I'm saying is each of the episodes have had a purpose for her character and each has been a different take on her magical ability passing on an every expounding lesson. Feel free to dislike the episode but she needed it in some form or another. Sorry, to deviate from the thread. If you would like to discuss more just quote this in the original episode thread and I'll be happy to continue. 2 One of my most ambitious role playing experiences.

Lambdadelta 1,462 August 9, 2017 Share August 9, 2017 This thread is starting turn into a Starlight thread, even this episode is not even about her, like EQD comments section .

I love episodes that get meta like that with Season 2's Read it and Weep, and Season 6's Stranger than Fan Fiction! Been looking forward to this one!

Dynamo Pad 11,681 August 28, 2017 Share August 28, 2017 I like how the journal is being made into a book. Been a long time since we've seen the journal being referenced. I also like how Starlight is being involved in the episode. It's pretty cool how she'll be interacting with Twilight and the others. Sounds like this will be an awesome episode.

Snakes on a plane doesn't count as flying snek Although you could just add some snek-like aspects, to give a Flying, Biting, Spitting, Venomous, webslinging eight legged HyperNope.... ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
