Description Oh, Angel, you little silly.

Is Angel a jerk? In some degree, yes. As a pet, he is not only demanding but also take Fluttershy's caretaking for granted . But on the other hand, sometimes he also can be a good companion such as helping Fluttershy to get the ticket of gala, reminding her of time, or comforting his sad master. therefore I think Angel do cherish his master, only that he's like a spoiled child and often taking advantage of Fluttershy's mild personality.

Even though, his act in S2E19 is not acceptable. He physically abused her by slaping her face and throwing her out of her cottage. I really think that can be counted as Domestic Violence. That's how the story come up to my mind.

Of course what this comic depict is too simple, in reality is is much more complicated. Domestic Violence may result into broken hearts and devastated families by repeating its cycle of violence. How do we end this cycle? I don't know, but I know there's no use doing nothing and believe everything can turn out fine which is why Twilight plays an important role in this comic.

it really takes quite a while making this comic. I'm still trying different way to present a comic. Oh, sorry for the big file. I did try to divide it into 2 or 3 parts, but somehow I feel it was just not all right. So eventually I decided to combine them. Hope this is okay and hope you like it.

That whole episode was a violation of the core of the pony world. I'm glad you fixed it and you might like to see how I recolved it too :[link]

HowXu In reply to Nimaru [2012-08-05 09:06:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for sharing your thought with me. I'm also surprised to see ponies could be such meanies in that episode and I agree part of your description, but in other hand I hold a little different opinion.

We know that this cartoon is for kid (little girls to be precise). There’s 2 reasons why kids want to see a cartoon: one is for entertainment, another is for education. Regarding education, one of the important part is to reveal what the real world is like. Therefore the kids could prepare themselves before entering the world that providea much less support from their parents or government. I think this is what the episode did, it point out that what true world might be like, a world that good men will be bullied and good horse will be ride.( A Chinese idiomβ€δΊΊε–„θ’«δΊΊζ¬ΊοΌŒι¦¬ε–„θ’«δΊΊι¨Žβ€, it means a lousy good man will always be taken advantage of.) So they know they cannot effort to be naΓ―ve. They must learn to stand up for themselves and what they believe is right. Consequently, this brings out the lesson: ”be assertive”.

Regarding assertiveness, I think a series of meanies might be necessary to bring out this issue because If they doesn’t exist, then we might never need to be assertive at all. For example, if the salesmen in the market treat Fluttershy nicely and provide her everything she need with a reasonable price, then that’s mean Fluttershy is fine for what she is now. Change will not be necessary. It is because someone may take advantage of us or even violate our rights for their own interests, therefore we need to be assertive.

However there’s one thing I just don’t feel right: Iron Will’s method. His technique is all about strike back or even revenge. I really don’t think in reality this could be any of help. Of course we to stand up for ourselves but we often need to do it without causing unnecessary conflicts, especially facing someone who is more powerful than us.

Therefore in my opinion, part of this episode is acceptable. I do agree with you that some ponies act out of their characters and there is also unbearable cruelty, but I think some of them are acceptable.

Just some opinion I’d like to share.

Nimaru In reply to HowXu [2012-08-05 14:10:35 +0000 UTC]

A counterpoint then: For me a quality show (which MLP has proven to be thus far) doesn't change characters or story on a whim. For example, in the first episode, Applejack had tons of relatives, but in the very next episodes, she only had 3. BUT, they explained it. They gave a reason.

Now, back to this episode. In it, ponies were rude and selfish where in the past, the average town pony was shown to be kind, helpful, and honest. There was no reason given. I would have accepted something as dumb as the "crabbies" I suggested, or just about anything, but without any reason given, this episode loses my respect in that manner. The only one who really showed proper behavior was actually Iron Will! In the very end, in the face of Fluttershy's refusal to pay, he acknowledged his defeat and went on his way.

As for your point about assertiveness, you're definitely right about it being an important lesson, but I can think of many ways they could have still achieved that without doing it they way they did.

What do you think?

HowXu In reply to Nimaru [2012-08-06 11:59:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I very much agree on this. Especially in the scene of Fluttershy entering Iron Will's seminar, when I saw those ponies kick Fluttershy to the back seat, I was thinking: "what's wrong with them?". I can tolerate that they create new characters to perform some unfriendly deeds like those salesman, but it's very strange that everypony all act that way.

I also agree that Iron Will behave properly. I actually like Iron Will, only doubt his method. In fact, I kinda feel that in the end He was defeated by his own method is implying that total offensive assertiveness could lead to self destruction. About the others, my opinion is more like Flamma-Man's comment which was posted in your art's thread, but I'm also agree that this episode is inconsistent.

Ever since I saw Fluttershy open up her package with her wing in that episode, I have assumed that Pegasus's wing works like human's hand.
