>yeah, it´s a bit inconsistent because I will always mention this whenever it comes to this franchise/gen. MLP wasn´t supposed nor created with high amounts of lore in mind, the fact that it jumped onto this route over time and try to justify required a lot of effort and projection to make it work somehow
Frankly, I'm fine with the way it is over it trying to have a hard continuity. Though I'm not a huge fa of much of what was out currently it does seem like a lot of fiction just started goig crazy with lore, too the poit where I'd even say they put lore first before story.

>One of the reasons one cannot ask for perfection, the character interactions are what has made it and still dominates it, but lore has come subtly within them
This still relates to my point above. This is exactly the way I like lore, with a little mystery and a little subtlety. I was concerned for the end of season 7 that the show was going to be obsessed with answering every question and leaving no stone unturned with giant amounts of fanservice that would grow tiresome. I think I like what they have going with the harmony tree being intelligent and the fact that it wasn't just flat out stated to us it's full intent or history spelled out in that episode. Probably my favorite thing from season 8: implications over explanations.
