What was with that? [spoilers]

So, I'm assuming everyone reading this watched Three's a Crowd.  What was with that giant worm?  I called it the "Wang Worm" because...well...yeah...

 

But what was his deal.  Why'd he attack Twilight and Cadance?  Why'd he sneeze on Discord?  HOW could he sneeze at all?

The worm must have been guarding the flower, I think it was trying to protect the flower that's why the worm was attacking Twilight and Cadence. It didn't really have a full explanation., it's known as a Tatzlwurm.

Yeah, I didn't blame the worm for attacking them at all.  They basically just destroyed its home when they pulled up the flower, after all.

 

As for the sneeze...  yeah, I dunno.  I think the animators just needed some excuse for Discord to actually get sick after pretending to be sick for the whole episode, so...  worm sneeze.  because that makes perfect cartoon sense.


You are a ghost, driving a meat-coated skeleton made out of stardust.

What have you got to be afraid of?

Yeah, that was a pretty horrible thing to do, killing a giant legendary flower to make one batch of medicine. Why not just cut a small piece off of it? I know it's just a cartoon, but it's perpetuating bad morals regarding the treatment of living natural wonders.

 

As a guitar builder, it reminds me of the story of a famous mahogany tree http://www.guitarbench.com/2009/10/07/the-tree-mahogany-feature-article/

Probably the most expensive wood in the world, but from the description it sounds like it was even more beautiful when it was alive. And what do people do when they come across something so incredible? Destroy! Destroy!

 

That said, the fight with the worm was pretty cool, even if the ponies were in the wrong  ^_^ And yeah, Meghan posted on twitter that its name is Tatzlwurm.

 

Tentacles seem to be the theme of season 4 baddies...

No. No more tentacles. There's enough of them as is.

 

I don't know. I kinda thought it was like his prison. Like with Yggdrassil, using its root system as a prison. And now that Discord has manipulated them into removing the flower, it would've wrecked havoc on Equestria.
