PARENTAL GLIDANCE
I guess some places are one episode ahead of mine, oh well (It guess it means I'll be done a little sooner)... I saw it, here's the review.
So we finally see Rainbow Dash's folks eh? I guess that's all of them, and a good thing for viewers, but I do wish we could see SCOOTALOO's folks FOR ONCE!! (I suppose I can't mark that down those) I actually sort of like it.
Reason: People keep yakking at me to show Starfleet families (That are not dead) right away, but why should I? It's taken 7 years for Rainbow's family to be introduced on screen (And besides, you cannot show every single thing about a single character in just ONE episode)
so I'll give that a point because it helps support my style of writing.
Okay, her folks overly obsessive enthusiasm... they're acting like Pinkie Pie. These are character traits I am so not fond of... (So embarrassing!!) that's a double down-mark.
When Rainbow pops off and tells her folks off, the way she breaks Scootaloo's spirit, that gives a mark up.
Reason: Not only does it support my writing style, (Characters revealing their TRUE characters... usually awful and horrid) It reflects on actual experiences I had in life. People used to be nice, but then they CHANGED and turned into dick-weeds who like to be horrid and nasty, even towards their legit fans (Not caring about them, treating them like they are lower) This hasn't just happened to me, I've seen others suffer too
As for the moral of the episode... "Parents should be more supportive of their children", well that is something the real world needs, instead of parents being the opposite (Like I had, which is half the reason I couldn't make my dreams come true... Not enough help or support)
As supportive as that moral may be, I have to mark it down, because it gives many children (With un-supportive parents) False hopes (More than 90% of all MLP morals give false hopes to everyone anyway. Our world just doesn't work that way, it isn't that simple)
This ep gets a 3/10
