Great! Season 8 has ruined yet another character, or should I say TWO characters! This is not the Flim and Flam we know! They don't act like themselves in the slightest. Flim and Flam would never be so nasty to anypony. Flim and Flam are positive, enthusiastic showponies who, despite their deception, are actually really nice and good-natured. They would never be so mean and nasty and grumpy and bad-natured, and would never do something like blackmail! I mean, sure, deception is their thing, but blackmail is just cruel, and Flim and Flam would never do that to anypony.

And have you noticed how tacky their speech is!? Flim and Flam are professional showponies with elaborate speech and high-standard vocabulary range, always speaking using long professional words like "Indispensable" or "Hypothetically" or "Unimpeachable". In this episode, their speech is so messy! They say stuff like "I guess" and "Sure" and "Nah" and "Yeah". Flim and Flam don't talk like that! They don't say "Yeah", they say "Precisely" or "Indubitably" or "Unquestionably", or at the very least, "Quite so". And what happened to the bounce in their voices!? They just talk like regular ponies in this episode! RUINED! And that song was pathetic! it doesn't sound like a FlimFlam Brothers song, and it sounds so wrong coming out of their mouths!

And Flim and Flam running a School of Friendship!? Really!? That is just the most twisted, ridiculous, terrible idea ever! A School of Friendship in itself is the Sistine Chapel of worst ideas ever, but FLIM AND FLAM RUNNING ONE!? Seriously!? Flim and Flam are deceptive salesponies who cheat the bits out of ponies with genius scams, not friendship teachers! Ugh! And just take a look at their pathetic scam! Flim and Flam are genius mastermind tricksters! The scam in this episode just seems so petty and simple, compared to the utterly elaborate schemes they have previously performed. And to seal it all off, they even fell for the classic "gloating" ruse! Flim and Flam are masterminds! They would never fall for something they practically invented!

And that part when they were selling their papers and they were just being total grumps to the buyers, Flim is just so cold! That's definitely not the Flim OR Flam we know! The real Flim and Flam would have said something like:

"Come back tomorrow, good sir, where my brother and I shall very gladly grant you these fine and, might I add, quite superlatively remarkable scriptures, for the right price, naturally!"

THAT is the kind of thing Flim and Flam would say. Their vocabulary is completely off, as are their attitudes. Season 8 bites beyond compare! Thanks a lot, Hasbro, for ruining the greatest characters in the show!
