>There is a certain problematic pattern that DHX tends to repeat: first, it executes an idea for no apparent reason and then, it tries to justify its place in the universe (whether it´s because of the toy commercial nature of the show or the fact that the show runners/writers change constantly over the years). So, for Larson, there was that idea of going full 1984 and the opener by itself is really accurate at what it tries to convey. You look at the Star Light post redemption paired with Trixie and you see that her antics work nicely.
That is a point I largely agree with. Though a possible counterpoint for season 5 is that they did appear to have set up for existential questions on Cutie Marks. Pics related. They had touched on some of what I mentioned with the CMC (and it seems like one there was a line or two in another ep that I wrote down once of being of possible interest). Though it still could be writer disconnect I wonder if they at least toyed with it.
