Nah, I figured that's what you were talking about - I just didn't respond because like so many other things you've posted, I can totally see where you're coming from - I just happen to disagree (to me, it seems more like he's trying to put Trixie down in a trollish manner, rather than being insecure in his power or anything like that - and the former does definitely seem in-character for him [for example, just look at that smug smile he gets on his face when he mocks Trixie in the changeling hive] - in other words, rather than bragging, he comes off to me as more just playing mind games with Trixie for his own amusement).

Also, him being totally in it only to rescue Fluttershy is completely in-line with his characterization post-Keep Calm and Flutter On (and him being on the side of good right from the get-go is consistent with his portrayal post-Twilight's Kingdom).
