>>1075 >At the very /end/ how he just attacked "everycreature" in front of Celestia. That... I just. He nearly started a major diplomatic incident and he wasn't fired for it. I mean you can say that he did back off. I just can't believe the impunity he showed at the end. Even if you could say he wasn't fired because many other ponies likely hold those views in authority, still the way he acted was beyond the bounds of the atmosphere of all that we have seen before with other government figures, who were all part of the "we secretly hate each other but we must act prim and propper" from everyone from Ms. Harshwhinny to the Canterlot elite and the few other higher up bureaucrats we've seen. That´s some kind of eerie and I hold the same views as yours. Even if he believed he was doing it for preventing future menaces for not educating properly; the egocentrism and superiority that annoyed the others (in front of a figure like Celestia nonetheless, wow) made his views fall apart. Like the paranoia took him beyond the consequences and remained untouched for saying that the 3 races of ponies are superior.
The diplmomatic views in the centre of Equestria seem elitism and that might explain view Celestia and Twilight are the friendly figures for external relationship, also explaining why ponies never went beyond the Everfree Forest nor had any interest to visit those far away places. Ms Harshwhinny like you have said, showed that elitism and always looking down over the others until they change their minds. Not everything is so pinkish and colourful stuff in Equestria and that comes with a price of genuine racism.
>I guess the thing was that they wanted to give him an aura of intimidation like a villain. or an antagonist. Some are making headcanons that he releases Tirek as revenge for the finale. I wouldn´t be surprised if that happened?
>How was a pacing? The story for me actually flowed a little smoother then other times in mlp. Surprisingly well and not rushed at all for the resolution. The Crystalling had a lot of trouble with this, FiM, The Crystal Empire and The Cutie Map had certainly a rushed resolution. But this one flowed naturally and there were not only a clear moral but some interesting essages throughout the episode. That shows the different levels we have reached in this ride. From simple letters to actual problems that irl we discuss and have trouble facing certain things currently.
>did weeks or even months pass in setting up the school? What's that gonna do to the timeline? Ha ha! Magic happened. Surely the creators can answer this...>>1079
