Talk:Wings Over Yakyakistan/@comment-26855152-20170712200649

I really didn't like this arc has a whole, especially the second issue. Which is really a shame because I was looking forward to a tie in to Not Asking for Trouble with a team up between Pinkie and Spike (who worked together rarely, but very well). Instead, I got this.

This was obviously supposed to be a story where all sides have a point and no one's the bad guy (ala Over a Barrel), but really, I sympathized with none of them. The ponies were insensitive to Spike and blatantly prejudiced towards dragons (those comments from the Wonderbolts were certainly not mere innocently insensitive slip-ups). The dragons were overly aggressive and petty, and no better to Spike than the ponies were. Ember deserves better than this. The whole reason Spike was confident in letting her become dragon lord was because she was smart and willing to lend an ear to differing perspectives. Here, she has neither of those qualities. As for the yaks, how do you mistake that picture for a volcano? Sure, volcanos have wings and snouts, that makes perfect sense. Everything was basically resolved by someone stating the obvious and pointing out everyone's stupidity. Really?
