so, I ask myself: where is the atrocity that everyone is calling over here?

For me, the comparison shouldn´t be directed towards those episodes. I haven´t seen a message nor a moment in which a kid learns a bad lesson or makes it have a bad time. There are no signs of it and the actual spirit of the episode becomes really apparent in the song I skipped at first: The Place Where We Belong.

That song....is uplifting and I kind of regret skipping that optimistic take for rebuilding the tree and turning into a treehouse. It´s like the students decided to make it a new home....

I´ve already revealed everything. Now, the logical complaints about it is that Hasbro seems to be making a new toyline with the tree and that the students look like the chosen snoflakes the snowflakes for it. Well, as far as I can tell, the students have barely received any merch and I am waiting for any Ember/Thorax toy yet. But again, we have yet to see it happen because that MLP at its core has been a toy commercial from the very beginning, Hasbro isn´t delivering all that much save the princesses, the movie and the mane 6. Let´s see if they break that trend with the new building that gave a new life to the Castle of the Two Royal Sisters.

My biggest complaint with this episode is that the everycreature expression makes me cringe a little bit (not as much as back in season 8 but I still kind of react by laughing at myself with it) and that the sequences of trying to convince their kingdom look like genuine filler (and I said genuine because the cute moments happened in those clips).

I believe that this is one of the most misunderstood episodes because people have given it a single try by getting convinced of their own expectations and not bother to check out what´s wrong with it exactly. Maybe it´s me who is crazy after all but I can´t reach that level of negativity, my mind doesn´t tell me that. I cannot complain nor see how this is an animated atrocity nor the biggest tragedy that has come out from this franchise. I wish I got paid Hasbro but unfortunately, all I can get is streaming these episodes without anybody telling me to do it.


So I can only speak for myself and that´s why I quoted Supertramp because I feel that something is missing in my mentality that others get but I don´t. The episode doesn´t drive me to believe that and makes me wonder if my enjoyment has come from that same material.
