sampsoninc916 27 November 28, 2012 Share November 28, 2012 I've seemed to have settled on a few of my issues with the show and its fanbase, but what seems to happen to me is that I seem to think that worse things will happen than what is actually shown on the show? For instance, every time they say defeat in the stance of battle or fighting, I always keep on thinking death, like physical death or total outcast. When Celestia lost/got defeated by Queen Chrysalis, I honestly thought she was dead and it was all Twilight Sparkle's fault. How does one survive something like that? And some fans say that when you get put in a Changeling cocoon, you turn into a Changeling, when in actuality the show made it as a little prison for Celestia. Heck, before A Canterlot Wedding aired, I thought that there was going to be a scene where Celestia gives Twilight Sparkle a beating for warning her about something, and it was all based on a scene in Goodfellas where the main character says that every once in a while he had to take a beating and that everyone takes a beating sometimes. I kinda thought that would happen when Twilight walked in the door of fears in The Crystal Empire. When I watched the latest episode on bullying, I thought Babs Seed was going to give the Cutie Mark Crusaders a beating, make them bleed a good bit, or downright kill one of them, or even frame them for murder, and I didn't get any of that in the episode, even if I was expecting it. I think the reason why I seemed to expect it may have been the Cobra Kai people in the Karate Kid and even the bullies from the first Toxic Avenger. In the Karate Kid, John Creese tells Terry Silvers to make Daniel Narusso's knuckles bleed, and in the Toxic Avenger, there's a scene where the bullies run over someone in their car, then back up to squish the person's head, and then take a picture of it, and they also throw a guy they dressed in a tutu out a window where he happens to land in some toxic waste and become The Toxic Avenger. About the framing for murder, a more harmless example is Babes in Toyland (1986) starring Drew Barrymore, Keanu Reaves, Pat Morita, and Richard Mulligan. In that movie, Richard Mulligan plays Barnaby, and one of his plans is to frame his nephew, Jack Be Nimble, for cookie stealing, which of course is ridiculous. Is this the disadvantage of being an adult? That whenever you watch a kid's show, your knowledge of stuff that happens in more adult oriented shows take hold and then you expect some uber violent or uber mean content? This is just a reply to myself, yet I kinda want people to pay attention to this. This is such a psychological issue, especially for someone with autism such as myself. Oh, and how come I was expecting in One Bad Apple for Babs Seed to actually say something to the Cutie Mark Crusaders something similar to what the Angry Video Game Nerd would say when he gets angry over a game, like creative cursing or something, like what he does?
