Campfire Tales: REVIEW · 11:01pm Aug 26th, 2017
Campfire Tales
Scootaloo is acting extremely OOC here. Child or not, previous experience or not, a Cutiemark Crusader like her is supposed to be brave and bold all the time. Few things may frighten you. But stepping on a twig like that and freaking out... Only Fluttershy is allowed to behave like that, NOT Scootaloo.
Like I prefer: PICK ONE TRAIT AND STICK WITH IT (Screw flaws and development... or I'll screw with you)
However, I approve of those "FLY-DERS" attacking the group (Makes me wish I had sent them myself... hahahaha)
ROCKHOOF STORY
URGH!! Another one of those small guys building themselves up and become the big hero. You've seen one those you've seen em all, Tres... Lame!
and what's this? "Rockhoof sudden;y became stronger" Gee, people harsh on me for making such Deus ex machina yet MLP and other shows use it over and over again... OY-VAY!
And also, I guess it wasn't reallyt he power of Friendship or Believing in yourself that did the job, it was whatever that magical thingy was that he struck that gave him the power. If he hadn't hit it, he would've failed... LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE!!
"He was fighting to protect his village, which IS an act of friendship."
That don't mean JACK SQUAT to me! It wasn't friendship that did it... so there!
Wow, now Rarity's acting OOC. She's supposed to be vain, snobbish, and not like getting her hoofs even the least bit filthy (Regardless of her past experiences) She would never find that cave to be beautiful...!
MISTMANE STORY
I like it...
Jealousy taking over someone, getting angry and going mad because of problems, and making other people miserable in an act of payback and revenge... NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT!!
But the whole happy ended and the selfless sacrifice at the end... *Sighs* another automatic fail!
I prefer if Sable Spirit had died, and Mistmane mourned over the loss of her friend, feeling she was responsible (Despite any facts)
But that's not what happened, instead it was another Friend making a sacrifice and the bad guy opening up to be reformed... You get a fat 'F' from me for that!
(For Once, Can't an MLP story have a bad ending like I did with Beast Boy in Equestria?)
FLASH MAGNUS
(Okay seriously, these are really making want to hurl... that's why WHEN I MAKE PONIES, I give them simple and easier names)
Hmm... okay, not bad, since it plays out like my own Starfleet scenes, (Battles, strategy, ect, ect... and for ONCE a DUDE is the hero)
Overall, I rate this EXCUSE of an episiode
4/10
Again. Your opinion. I don't believe in bad ending as you wanted it like you did in your story which again your story, your world. As for those FLY-DERS I could blast those things with my magic.

No offense, but... do you have to say that every week?
4649057 Sorry if I have to say that. But, you said it in your own words about the episode. It's your opinion.
I understand what you mean, the issue is, the show tries to make the characters realistic. And people do have multiple facets to their personalities.
Not all appear at the same time and as a person lives their life, they tend to pick new facets and drop others, but this aspect remains.
Sure, it may be easier to limit each pony to one, but neither the writers nor the audience would like that.
I'll agree Rockhoof's story was pretty bad, though the other two I liked.
I'd guess it's because over 99% of viewers would hate it, and in the case of the younger audience, their parents would ensure they wouldn't watch it. I'm fairly sure the writers dislike it as well. I happen to agree with them too.

Progress has never been some bargain, and life not some deal you can get... you have to pay for it! (Something MLP doesn't seem to understand half of the time)
4649475
I believe life is a deal. A one of a kind deal! a one-time offer in fact!
I'm sorry you feel that way, but from what you can see, I'm enjoying my own life and have every intention to keep enjoying it.
There are no second chances after all.

and sometimes you're not even given a first chance...

From our conversations, you've got less than me.
Except for bronycon. Ain't none on my continent, with ni way of coming and meeting the cast behind the show.
You did. Congrats on it by the way. I'm happy for you. Even your blog on the topic seemed pretty excited.
I'm not trying to deny your angst, I just believe you do have a chance at happiness and you are using it.
I also think there are a lot of tiny things that are awesome in life. This evening there was a storm at my place. I was quite happy just staying at the window and watching the lightning bolts.
Or ending up camping and enjoying that gorgeous night sky without any lights to pollute it.
Maybe these don't work for you as they work for me, but there gotta be things you can enjoy. Bronycon is one of them, I'm hopeful you can find more.

come on, you know I can't go to a Brony-Con (I'm an Anti-Brony)
and even if I enjoy certain things, they just don't last

Sorry, FanExpo.
Either way, every one of those -Cons that I want to go are a continent away. You're lucky you have them so close and get to meet these celebrities.
Well, they remain as pleasant memories. But you're right : nothing in this world lasts. That's why people keep seeking new ways to enjoy their lives while they have it.

Do try and keep the fanexpo convo on the actual blog... please
Do the comics count I think celestia losing her lover (yes he had one)being out of reach forever count as a bad ending?

I prefer only what the show gives, anything outside doesn't count with me...

Oh I see I understand
