Man, I don't even know what the fuck I'm doing anymore.

6439051 I'll try to get another chapter out tomorrow. ;)

I do not necessarily have an issue with humans are superior stories. I have an issue about the poor writing that is often involved with it, such as with this, and the lack of legitimate creative thinking. Because it ignors anything the ponies are capable of to repel the situation.

You made the exact same mistake as every story of this nature i have encounter. Shining armor and Cadance could have instantly created a shield and completely repelled that aircraft, if not destroyed it as the field of abstract energy slams against it.
And shields are Shining Armor's specialty.
Not to mention that, as Cadance's likely has blasts capable of piercing stone, she could completely destroy the aircrafts herself.

So in other words your entire scenario here is moot because, if they acted as they would likely have in this scenario, the mission would have been stopped and the soldiers killed either directly or indirectly. And since that machine just killed a bunch of her citizens, the chapter should have ended with the aircraft being completely destroyed by her as it would be her instantaneous response.

So through analysis you are creating a false scenario by ignoring the characterizations and abilities of the ponies. And yes, they actually do have them. It may be a kid show but it has world building. And as it has world building you have to take into account that the ponies actually have attributes to defend themselves with.

Of course, as this is a humans are superior story, you will somehow completely revoke my analysis, call me an idiot in one manner or another, amongst other unpleasantness that you use to try and mask that you have no legitimate way to disprove my statements. Cause may it be forbidden that those with supernatural attributes could somehow fight back and or win.

And if you don't do so yourself, i am certain someone else will somehow educate me about how much of an idiot i am without giving any proof that i am an idiot.

6439495 i'm going to call you an idiot because it's been one fuckin' chapter. wait a little bit and see what happens. also, shining armor is bad at shields.

and thanks soviet

is it gonna go down while arranged to the melody of Oh no you didint...

Also history of the soviet union to the melody of tetris is a good music video.

6442095 What was that? Oh, you stating that i was not giving the story a chance, and you proving me 100% correct? Because you literally killed off a canon character to prove that 'huamnz super' and that you immediately presumed that a shield normally capable of enshrouding an entire city would be weaker if it only covered one castle? Or that they did not simply expand the shield around the city, something shining armor AND cadance are both capable of doing, and smacking the aircrafts away and into oblivion?

This story has hit up EVERY point i have made so far and worse than i first thought. We are talking about something meant to repel blasts that can rupture through an entire castle with just force of will and the breathe of dragons. How the hell would mundane missiles affect it so easily? And yet again, they could have just expanded the shield over the entire city and destroyed every single aircraft at once. It was the obvious tactic, but of course 'houmanz superar' and any speculation that is to the pony advantage is obviously false, even when something made of simple if cleverly shaped matter is somehow destroying a barrier made of abstract energy that is able to warp reality and matter.

Seriously dude, you put no effort into this. No actual thought. That is my problem with 'humanz supadar' it has such little effort and though that it involves every mocking variation of the term i can imagine.

6442539 jesus fuckin' christ you're delusional. if you're gonna be a misanthropist and hate on my story, then fuck off. because literally none of your points make sense. you don't know how pony shields work. if you think they can just expand it and make it destroy everything and not be destroyed by "mundane missiles" (powerful weapons ponies have no experience against) then you're a pony-wanking retard who just wants ponies to be as overpowered that you so wrongly believe humans already are. obviously you're not here for the story, you're here to whine because your imaginary pastel friends aren't doing as well against a race that's been born to wage war and is thousands of years ahead of equestria in military technology. sorry that magic isn't as op as you want it to be but this isn't your story. if you care so much, go write your own story where humans die instantly to one invulnerable super shield. just stop commenting.

6443589 Fuckin crackdown on that guy. whens the next chap?

6443625 i'll write it later today, definitely before tomorrow. gotta wreck some scrubs on csgo first as always

6443589 XD XD I knew you would just go into full insult mode and not make any valid points.

6443759 sigh. you're beyond saving. it's a wonder you can operate a computer.

6444246 Wow even more so.

So i am curious. How am i ignorant when i am simply analyzing the story? Saying that you are ignoring things that ponies are fully capable of?

Here is the thing dude. If we were talking about generation 1 ponies, or any after, and this kinda scenario, it would be fair neough. However since day one this iteration of mlp has had an aspect of high fantasy to it. Magic is something very powerful, not a bunch of bubles and breezes. And thus if you are making a story with this iteration of pony, you gotta take that into account.

Of course you will not take that into account. And the idea of 'they ain't real' does not work here. Because you are writing a story where humans are itneracting with a fictional thing. Its just lazy to not take into account the factors of this said fictional thing if you are writing a story. One could write a story about killing godzilla with a sniper rifle, but that would not make it even a decent story cause you are massively ignoring what the fictional thing is.

6442539 All of your points are based upon your own interpretation of how this universe and magic work. None of which have been substantiated by cannon material. Even if they were, it's still up to the author to decide how their version of the world works. While I'm all for constructive criticism in relation to the technicalities of writing, complaining that someones story doesn't match with your personal beliefs regarding the function of a fictional universe is not at all constructive, nor is it particularly mature.

6444386 You are kinda defending the wrong story here... Literally, just read his comment.

However there is a major difference between having your own view of things, and intentionally interpreting things in a way that gives the character you want have the advantage. that is what happens in the vast majority of stories of stories like this. Rather than thinking about the things such a magical shield is built to withstand, he just presumes that missiles will destroy it easily, because its to the advantage of the characters he wants to win rather than taking a deeper look into things.

6444563 Yet you appear to be doing the same thing you claim the author is doing, only with the idea that pony magic should be able to trump any kind of technology. For instance, "Rather than thinking about the things such a magical shield is built to withstand, he just presumes that missiles will destroy it easily, because its to the advantage of the characters he wants to win rather than taking a deeper look into things.", lets think about that shall we. Based on the show alone (and that's what I intend to go with unless this is an AU that will be talked about later) ponies have medieval weaponry. So this shield is going to be designed to defend against magical energy (which has very little to do with missiles), medieval weapons such as swords and spears, and siege engines. Now a military grade missile has far more CONCENTRATED kinetic energy than any of these. The shield is designed to counter physical force from weapons that are centuries behind what's being deployed against it, and based on the changeling invasion it is vulnerable to kinetic force.

You don't actually know how the shield spell works, what it's actually designed to defend against, if it's malleable, or any of how the magic works. So while it may be true that the author didn't think about it (I really don't know) to make such a blatantly hypocritical argument about it is really pathetic.

I'm not sure Celestia will be willing to talk. Even if she is you have to FACE Twilight, Luna and then Candace. I doubt the Princess of Love will be feeling so loving that someone brutally killed her husband while stealing the think that makes her kingdom possible

6442095 nice

6439495 burrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnddddd

6443759 burnnnnnnneeeeeeedddddd again
6444246 nice

6450228 hope you mean i am burning him. else you are not really aware of the circumstances.

i kinda knew he would react this way. In fact he reacted exactly the same way i knew he would and more. So i kinda triggered him on purpose.

6450642 triggered by the sheer amount of autism you spat in these comments instead of making actual points and helpfully suggesting how to make the story better? yeah that triggers me, i bet it triggers a lot of people too and you've become used to that reaction and you expect it. smh.

also i forgot to write a chapter last night, i'm gonna start writing the new chapter BUT it may be out wednesday cus i'm bad at writing action, this is gonna more serious and calmer than the actual raid in chapters 1 and 2 and i wanna take my time with it and make it good

6450228 look below and see what i mean.

6450754 haha keep being delusional :)

6452569 Eh its not delusional. Though you clearly cannot understand what it means when someone instantly reads you and then causes you to go full retard.

6452592 well it is being delusional. because you haven't said a single useful thing in these comments so far and yet you think it's wrong for me to want you to shut the fuck up. half your comments have nothing but downvotes, just go

6452613 And the final stages. Completely ignoring the moments where i completely predicted your reactions from the very beginning. I even stated you would do as you are doing earlier.

With perhaps except one, more than likely they re all trolls and or got the hypocrisy of humans are superior in their heads. It is one thing to think that humanity has qualities that gives us advantages, another to think that somehow these advantages gives us complete dominance in circumstances where we go up against reality warpers who could turn metal into chocolate.

And if your logic is that 'they re cartoons you misanthrope' then why are you even bothering pointing out that real humans are better than fictional cartoons? Its completely illogical.

6453612 alright i'm just gonna start deleting your comments. it's obvious you're trolling, but i'm sick of you harassing me. if you start making comments where you actually say something logical instead of just bashing my story because it isn't how you like it, then i'll actually listen to it and take it into consideration. however, i haven't seen one such comment yet. so i'm going to delete any other shitpost you make until you graduate middle school.
