    I thought you were going to stop pointing out ridiculous flaws that makes no sense whatsoever in good episodes, but I guess I was wrong.

    Because they're children.

    Seriously, this is just getting ridiculous.

    Because that would be like sending your kids downstairs to stop a burglar.

    We really don't know what all SG is capable of. Sure taking cutie marks is her forte but she is also a power-hungry maniac who will do whatever it takes to achieve her ends and has subdued a whole town of both adult and young ponies. The question I'd ask myself is would I really want to pit MY little sister up against someone like that? My answer is no.

    Is that a fair enough response? Not trying to pick on you but it seems like a pretty cut and dry case of common sense to me.

    Sending children to fight a powerful magician. What could go wrong?

    Also the mane six didn't know of her power until they were in the town, and then they couldn't contact the cutiemark crusaders. Do you really want the biggest plot hole in history?

    Have you even seen the episode? If the CMC were going to beat her, they would have to fight the entire town first. Also, can you please explain how a brainwashing cult leader is "more like Dick Dastardly or Doctor Evil than any real-life criminal"?

    Question, if I would have said "Starlight Glimmer could easily win against the CMC because some fans said so", would you have taken that seriously? The answer is no, but when you say "Starlight Glimmer would have been defeated by the CMC because some fans said that she couldn't wing against some anime characters" you expect me to take that seriously. Also, this is something I have seen way to much of this from you. Every time someone says something you don't like, you act like a victim. Please stop with that.

    Edit: Also, great way to avoid the discussion.

    1. I researched her. However I bet that you didn't.
    2. That's a thread on a naruto forum. What random people say there doesn't matter in this discussion. I'm sure I could find 50 people who think that's she's the most powerful pony ever. That doesn't make it true. There exists people who think that the earth is flat , just because people agrees with them doesn't make them right.

    She is an adult Unicorn who brought down one of the most powerful ponies in existence, and controls dozens of unquestioningly loyal ponies.

    She's essentially a cult leader, and is more than willing to use force to achieve her goal of Equestrian "equality."
    She's also a master manipulator, having convinced so many ponies to willingly give up their cutie marks.

    Do you honestly think that sending an impulsive Earth Pony, a Unicorn that can barely use magic, and a Pegasus that can't fly up against the Equestrian version of Amon is in any way a good idea?

    Stop using headcanons as evidence.

    Just stop.

    To be perfectly honest, it makes you look irrational at best, downright stupid at worst.

    HEADCANONS ARE NOT ADMISSIBLE AS EVIDENCE.

    This post should be the new definition of hypocrisy. I remember that time that you got super offended when I said that the mane six was only friends because f the element of harmony. Was it a show for little girls then? Also, "I don't care about facts or canon or sense" is a rather dumb thing to say (no offense).

    And you whine whenever anyone disagrees with you.

    Yeah, it's a kid's show, but this is a forum for the ADULT fans of that show.

    If you want to be a part of this forum, grow the hell up.

    Alright. I'm not even speaking as a mod here. This is a civilian's point of view.
    If you do not have anything good to say that is on topic and not attacking Mr. Mchoof, then please leave the thread. I do not know what he has done in the past, but in this thread, the very first comment was passive aggressive and rude. Really, guys. I'm very disappointed. Do not ask Mr. Mchoof to grow up if you cannot do the same either. He was asking a question, and you have responded quite poorly. Like I say, I don't know what he has done in the past. But, in this thread that we are looking at right now, you are all bickering like children. Either discuss the topic without being passive aggressive and unkind, or go find some other thread. I would have thought people would have figured it out by now.
    Mr. Mchoof, please make sure that none of these things are valid. If they are, please look past the nasty delivery, and see if you can use it in any way. See if you can prove that you are not what they say.

    How dare you call me passive-aggressive?

    I was very clearly being actively aggressive.

    Indeed. Time for this thread to cool off.

    Behave yourselves. :sigh:
