Talk:FIENDship is Magic Issue 3/@comment-7345250-20150415212348

Good grief, that was the blandest, most uninteresting, most yawn-inducing depiction of Star Swirl the Bearded I have ever seen. He has the exact same facial expression for half the panels he appears in, hardly any dialogue (but to be fair, this entire issue burned out its dialogue pretty early, and Star Swirl arrives late), and nothing to his name aside from being good at magic and being passable at music. He just appears out of nowhere, decides to outstage the "Ssirens," fails after a few songs, and then gives up and uses magic to defeat them anyway. There's supposed to be some glory in his admission of failure, but the comic only tells us how hard he tried wihout actually showing any labor. All we get is Star Swirl in a bunch of goofy outfits he supposedly invented.

...And on that note, they even got the bells wrong!
