Lucid_Nightlight 923 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 Remember when Sunset Shimmer threatened to break the portal with a sledgehammer? That has got to be the dumbest idea any character in MLP has ever thought of! If she really did try to hit the portal, the hammer would've went right through without breaking anything! Why? Because it's a portal! Trying to hit a portal with a sledgehammer is like trying to break a door by hitting the empty doorway! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikifive 24,187 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 Perhaps she'd say: "Okay, then let's wait for the portal to close, then I'll wreck it" and nopony would question it and they'd wait, because reasons. In all seriousness, yeah, that wasn't really logical. Playing Genshin Impact? Come join the club! >>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightfall Thunder 1,937 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 I suppose she could've hit a side of the statue thing which wasn't the portal (Since the portal seemed to be on only one side), thus breaking the statue and, in turn, the portal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StitchandMLPlover 930 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 (edited) I have 2 theories to explain Sunset Shimmer threatening to break the portal: 1) Sunset assumed Twilight does not know the physics of the human world so she threatened to break it without the actual intention of ever breaking it. If you notice she gives up super easy when Twilight says no (before getting jealous of Twi again and jumping on her, turning into demon etc) so perhaps she always knew she could never follow through. 2) Sunset Shimmer was not aiming at the portal itself because as you say the hammer would just fall through to Equestria, but instead aiming at the supports of the horse statue that the portal is inside of. "Friendship Games" shows us the statue itself is breakable. If the statue breaks it would be likely the portal would break/close forever.

Prospekt 11,018 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 I feel like it's a bad idea to mess with something connected to the interdimentional Limbo without having a very good idea of the magic behind it. See Mirror Magic when Juniper Montage's mirror (that has trapped the Mane 7) almost breaks. Signature by Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,487 July 10, 2018 Share July 10, 2018 Definitely one of the most worthless threats from a villain to me. Sure she was bluffing, but could anyone even take her seriously? Yes, trap Twilight AND yourself in a world where everyone hates you even more and you have literally no chance to get the crown. Even as a bluff it was pretty bad. Rule #1 of bargaining: Do a bargain that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as a bluff it was pretty bad. Rule #1 of bargaining: Do a bargain that makes sense. To be fair Twilight had pretty much destroyed all her plans at that stage. I suspect she was just grabbing at straws and hoping Twilight would be desperate enough to go along with it without really thinking things through in the pressure of the situation. Something she is actually right about if I remember right Twilight say's no because if she hands over the crown she's abandoning this world to Sunset while Equestria can survive without her so DESTROY the portal. She thought Sunset could do it when she made her choice. There is a big diference between watching a show and critiquing someone's decisions and making one in the heat of the moment. I've been there when someone collapsed at work and I just froze up not sure what to do even though I'd been through the training. Next time maybe I'll freeze up again or maybe I wont, no idea which it'll be till I'm there. In this case Twilight was stressed, under pressure and her "enemy" had just told her hand over the crown or I trap us here. She's only been in the world a few day's and known about the portal only slightly longer whereas Sunset has had years to study and make her plans. Do you call her bluff, give up or make the choice of sacrifice because maybe she's telling the truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your comments on Twilight and Sunset and I'm also so sorry you had to witness someone collapse at your job. That is terrifying! I know the feeling as I once witnessed one of my teacher's in medical distress and froze up at first too. Did the person who collapsed end up okay? What was wrong with them??

RDDash 19,180 August 5, 2018 Share August 5, 2018 I imagine that at this point Sunset was really desperate, and she was trying to just bluff her way out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganondorf8 11,310 August 5, 2018 Share August 5, 2018 It definitely wasn't the best idea Sunset could've come up with but it was enough to make Twilight reconsider her options so in a way Sunset did succeed. Had she actually gone and carried out her threat, she could've hit the side of the statue's base causing some damage, and with enough blows cause the whole thing to come crashing down. Also, she might have been acting of desperation since her previous attempts at getting her hands on the crown had failed and she only had one shot left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
