Yeah, that definitely sounds like a downright nerve-wracking four-part Season Finale.
Of course, we have to wonder if there's going to be a "Equestria Girls: Graduation" special set after Season 11 but Before Season 12 in order to set up Sunset Shimmer (and possibly others from that world) getting mixed up in Season Twelve.
A FIGHT TO THE DEATH?! I want to read that!!!😈
I say I look forward on seeing how this turns out.
Though my nervousness is kicking in and I feel worried on how would Luna(and well, Celestia too but mostly Luna) would be handled in this finale.
Same with Spike, I wonder what he might get to do and such.
"Abusive childhood"? The comic shows that Tirek was deeply loved by his mother Haydon (who he was indifferent toward), and the issues with his father arose from the fact that he was always acting like an entitled little brat, which made Vorak fear Tirek would one day use his power to try and overthrow him. Tirek held a grudge against his father for never approving of him or being supportive of the power he had, ignoring the fact that it was his own fault for his poor behavior. Tirek did have a good relationship with his brother (and grandmother going by his comments in season 9), but he was still a brat who did not seem to care about his mother and got his dad to dislike him for his actions and attitude. He uses the power he gains from magic to make himself feel better due to the fact he could never earn his father's approval, despite it being his own fault. Yes, being treated coldly by his dad did amplify his negative traits which, coupled with a desire to make himself feel better and his thirst for power, ultimately led him to villainy. However, these traits were already present from the start. I will admit Vorak should have raised him better, showed more love, and done a better job at keeping him away from Sendak, but I wouldn't say Tirek was abused. His mother, grandmother, and brother all loved him. Even Sendak, evil as he was, seemed to genuinely care for Tirek as his student. Sendak actually seemed like one of the most honest, trusting, and affable villains. He helped Tirek with his magic, gave him the plan to harness the magic of Equestria, and implied that they would rule the land together when Tirek was an adult, yet Tirek abandoned Sendak during the cave-in. Vorak was the only one who mistreated Tirek. Haydon, Scorpan, "Gram-gram", and even Sendak all treated him well. While he does love his grandmother, he didn't seem to care about his mother, he flat out betrayed and abandoned the person who mentored him, and while he did have a close relationship with Scorpan originally, he eventually discarded the memento Scorpan left him, deeming both it and Scorpan himself worthless. I understand that his father never showed him much love and he was hurt deeply by his brother's betrayal, but Tirek is still a backstabbing, powerhungry tyrant. His background may be a bit sad, but not exactly tragic, and I wouldn't call his childhood abusive. If you happen to have flashbacks to his childhood during the finale, I really hope you don't misrepresent Haydon. The comic showed her as a very kind woman. Calling her abusive is like calling Mr. Rogers mean.
