What Would be the Best Possible Way to Write About This? · 1:27am Sep 21st, 2020
So, I was just wondering:
What would be a good way to maybe write stories about flaws in logic in the show, while having storyline, and not just sounding like a boring documentary, or an 'Everything wrong with this thing' story? Or should I just have it in blog posts similar to this one?
One good example of flaws in logic is in the episode with the running of the leaves.
Yes, you're supposed to pace yourself, but that just means don't burn yourself out by sprinting the whole time. You should actually pace yourself by running or at least jogging all the way throughout the race. And you should definitely not walk and stop constantly with enough breath to talk to your friends that are constantly tripping each other and cheating against the race around the back of the pack for the majority of said race.
Yet Twilight still got fith place, out of hundreds of ponies. In order to pass all those other ponies, she would have to go at approximately the same speed as Rainbow Dash is while doing to sonic rainboom to get to fith out of tons of ponies. So, if she had enough energy to do that, then why didn't she just run the whole thing? And with it being her first race, um, no, not even in Equestria. Either that, or she just cheated with her magic (highly unlikely, she studies all the time, cheating at anything would probably be about equal or worse than the worry that comes with her not sending the princess a letter for a week in that one other epidsode).
Please tell me if you have any ideas, and your opinion on my theory of the flaws in the logic of that episode.
(Yes, I have actually experienced multiple races back from my school years. And even though it hurts to run throughout, I have never seen anything close to what happened in that episode with someone passing almost everyone at the end that fast (or at all), even when there were only about 20 runners in this one race. Even though it's a different universe, I found this explanation pretty necessary.

Thanks.
Well, they are horse-ponies and I'm assume it's probably some show based magical infinity stamina of some sort because then again, this is a show about magical horse beings for children who probably wouldn't notice it anyway.
But good eye!

Thanks! I mean, with that information in mind, the other ponies should be able to keep the speed and stanima they already had. But good point!

I suppose you right. Guess MLP has some plot holes to fill

So, should I make stories about stuff like that, or have it in blog posts?

Maybe you could make it a series, find all the plot holes in MLP and write about them in a funny and cunning way. Could turn out to be a hit!

Okay, then!
I like a story that "explains" that the thing really makes perfect sense. Then the story can show by the extreme lengths it goes to that maybe the thing doesn't really make perfect sense?
I loved seeing Pineta do this with https://www.fimfiction.net/story/236666/1/the-brightest-and-the-best/school-admissions. I had a go with https://www.fimfiction.net/story/471631/starlight-glimmers-real-mother.
A story can get pretty funny by playing it "straight."
