I saw “Rollercoaster of Friendship” recently, and I thought it’d be nice to express my thoughts on it to you all.
Anyway...
I thought it was an interesting episode, there was lots of great comedy, and it was a perfectly character-driven plot if I may say. I especially enjoyed the focus on Applejack & Rarity.
However, I do think that the way everyone is interacting with each other needs to be toned down a little bit? It’s nothing personal, but, there were certain things about the way each character interacted, such as Rarity & Applejack, that made me a little uncomfortable. It especially got me wondering if Confalone’s intention is either to teach friendship or to promote homosexuality to straight people to make them become gay. I have felt the same way with some parts of “Forgotten Friendship” & FiM’s “The Break Up Break Down”, as well as the book series written by Michael Vogel & Nicole Dubuc.
My only other issue comes in the form of Vignette Valencia, because again...
As a villain, she just wasn’t very original, new, different, or fresh. Like the others, I enjoyed how she was made as an individual character, especially her personality & comedic timing.
But...
Overall, the outcomes with her, especially what her intentions were, and getting reformed in the end...
Give you the feeling that it’s the same thing over and over again, and it kind of makes me think that a brony like me and all you guys out there could do a lot better than the actual show staff when it comes to storytelling & villains.
To Nick Confalone and the rest of the EG staff, all I’d like to ask is...
Please.
Please, just try to create a villain that’s completely new, different, fresh, and original from the previous villains next time.
Not just for me, but, for everyone else too.
What’s wrong with creating more villains like that of Lord Tirek, Queen Chrysalis, the Storm King, King Sombra, and the Dazzlings?
I suppose I could also pray that you guys keep your heads together, and try not to do anything too...unsettling.
Well, I’ve said my piece. Please tell me what you guys think of this review, as well as your own thoughts on “Rollercoaster of Friendship”.
