Talk:The Mean 6/@comment-36222506-20180717082452

I just watched the episode and made an account solely for this comment, because it (the episode) just irks me so much (also it won't let me upload an avatar, so have an Earth Xp ).

The idea behind this could easily have been a great season finale, if not another movie. Granted, this was basically the same thing that happened with Discord back in season 2, only having copies instead of discorded mane six... But if Chrysalis's clones could have actually used the elements, going by... say, Newton's Third Law "For every action there is an equal opposite reaction"; where the mean six could harness the negative energy discarded by the elements (or something to that effect), could have been amazing. The elements did react to them after all... so by the shows logic, that is fairly plausibe.

Just going by all of the (good) energy that has been utilized throughout the seasons by the elements; all of the negative energy (potentially) created by said elements would have just kept pooling up, having not been touched because there have not been any full on reverses of the mane six up until this episode. Not counting the Discord arc in that regard because unlike the discorded six was... discorded; and all did their own thing. In this episode while yes, that still happened, Twilight's double actually got them to work together for a moment, against Chrysalis.

Had it been written better, fleshed out more and given a longer play time, it could have not only reestablished Chrissi to be a major threat (that I believe she deserves; being one of, if not the most, recurring villians in the show); but having the mean six turn on her like.. halfway through, and actually using the reverse of the elements power.. just... so VERY dissappointed that all this potential went to waste. Because honestly, the idea behind this episode did have huge potential... As mentioned earlier, had they done it right, this could have been an amazing season finale, if not its own movie.

Also. the part(s) in this ep. that really bothered me... How in the heck... Did neither Rarity nor Starlight notice that Aj's cutie mark had green apples instead of red!? I mean come on. They were walking mostly behind her the entire time and seriously, neither of them noticed that? Just... really?

If any of the heads of this ep. happen to read this (unlikely)... I don't know if it was Mr. Vogel's doing, or either of the directors; or all of you... You guys absolutely, 100% flopped on this one. Like even going by the companies main business model of selling toys, you flopped; and totally squandered the potential that the idea behind this episode had.
