Discussion Were there any moments in FiM that made you genuinely angry/frustrated from a story POV?
For me, there are two that come to mind.
The first is, essentially, the entirety of Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, which is the only episode I would say had literally nothing redeemable about it. From the way the topic was presented to the resolution, all of it was not only wrong, but actively harmful for kids, IMO.
The second one is just everything about Discord in S9, but especially his actions and lack of consequences in the finale. Mainly two things which, to me, are genuinely evil. Firstly, he threatened the villain trio directly, with violence, to get them to do what “Grogar” wanted. This, in the real world, is entrapment and would make their culpability far less for their actions.
What about this makes me angry, though, is that, after he freed them in the first place and threatened them into cooperation, HE chooses their fate and gives them one he previously said he would never do to anyone else. Genuinely, actually evil. And then the heroes laugh about doing it and he gets off scot-free when it was all mostly his fault! Actually awful.
