Talk:Fame and Misfortune/@comment-31691986-20170813160154

I have to be honest. I didn't like this episode one bit. Please, hear me out. These are the reasons:

Firstly, The ponies who got copies of the Friendship Journal just didn't get the point of the journal and I agree, it's the fandom in a nutshell.

Second, I didn't like how Mane 6 was getting dogged on by those background ponies. I didn't like that at all.

Third, Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. Her mission is to spread the Magic of Friendship across Equestria which is what she was trying to do with the journal to give ponies an opportunity to take in the Mane 6's lessons.

And finally, I also hated how that journalist pony and everypony else completely disrespected Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. They've saved Equestria and everyone in it countless times, for Celestia's sake!!! I was like: oh Hell no!!! I don't like seeing the Mane 6 getting disrespected. #respectthemanesix

Completely off focus and I apologize but I was disappointed that Spike wasn't in this episode. His lessons were in the Friendship journal as well. This is the question I keep asking myself time and time again. Why can't Spike get more recognition or any shine in the show other than the times he did get his shine in the Equestria Games episode in Season 4 when he evapored that ice cloud with that huge fire breath, saving the lives of the ponies in the Equestria Games stadium in the Crystal Empire, then he showed real attitude, determination, and bravery in the Gauntlet of Fire episode in Season 6 when he stood up to Garble and saved Ember, and in the Times They Are A Changeling episode, Spike showed true courage, conviction, and maturity by risking his fame as a celebrity in the Crystal Empire to defend Thorax an teach those who being vindictive that anyone regardless of who they are deserve a second chance. Like Twilight, I couldn't imagine anything more brave than what Spike did risk everything for a friend. I really, really dislike the disrespect Spike gets because he's my all-time favorite character and one I can really relate to. #respectspike Enough of the Spike direspect. He's one of the main cast. Put some respect on his name.

With that said, if I had to rate this episode outta 10, I have to give it a 4.5 because the only thing about Fame and Misfortune I enjoyed was the song,  the fact Starlight was in this episode and that the only two ponies who  actually took time to read the journal and learned something from the lessons Twilight and her friends learned back in Season 4 were  Toola Roola and Coconut Cream.

So, 4.5 out of 10.
