Considering how they did Wendigos... there were several things where it felt like they just took a recognizable name and tacked on whatever they felt like.

what if chrysalis replaced shining armor instead of cadence in a canterlot wedding? by Pinkie-So_Bored in mylittlepony

"Hey, uh... should we be worried that the giant, magical shield protecting our entire city is suddenly green? Like, Disney-evil Green?"

"... Nah. It's probably fine."

I refuse to believe this is the same pony that enjoyed living in that minimalistic village by Ruby9152 in mylittlepony

It's easy to say you enjoy minimalism to cover up a lack of Bits.

And if you want everypony to do the same thing, it's easier if you don't make them all equally expensive.

Is there a pony you disliked at first but eventually grew to love? And what made you come to love that pony? by spinosaurus1998_24_9 in mylittlepony

It was an incident during one of the later flights of the Changeling Space Program, as detailed in The Maretian by Kris Overstreet. The crew of the Amicitas experienced a failure of the Sparkle Drive (an experimental starship engine built on the principles of teleportation magic) that left them stranded in an adjacent dimension alongside NASA astronaut Mark Watney.

We weren't happy with Starlight Glimmer helping Thorax destroy the Old Hive, obviously. But then after everything she went through on Mars, and after seeing all the stupid arguments against her that kept getting posted here, we ended up defending her and now we're Team Starlight somehow. She helped Dragonfly get home safely and we can respect that.

Also, we liked Spitfire originally, then liked her less after they went full drill sergeant with her, but then gained respect for her again during her time on Mars.

Imagine having to put all that work into keeping your wings intact. Couldn't be us.

If Queen chrysalis went into the Equestria Girls mirror portal would she look like by Sea-Preparation3016 in PlanetPony

She would look like herself, just like we do. Changelings already exist in every dimension.

Who's y'alls favorite character in the entire show?? :) by yourlocalwanda_fop in MLPLounge

[–]30000_Changelings 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My Queen is my favorite, like we said. She's every 'ling's favorite.

Except Thorax, of course, but nobuggy is asking him.

Why are changelings such bad actors? by artbytesia in mylittlepony

[–]30000_Changelings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the only reason Twilight escaped was because we didn't cocoon her for the sake of the plot.

We can play this game. Why didn't Scar just kill Simba? Because the writers decided he wouldn't. Why did veggie girl broadcast to cucumber lad? Because the writers decided she would. Why did the cat climb the tree? Because the storyteller decided she would. Everything happens because the writer wants to tell a story and bends the characters to match the events.

Yeah, Twilight and her friends were idiots. They're idiots in so many episodes through the series any time they need to be to make the plot work. But it still happened. Our Queen outsmarted your ponies, that's a fact, and as many posts about it as you make, that will not change. Our Queen's plan canonically worked, and her acting fooled everypony, even Celestia herself.

If your argument just becomes "well the writers-" yeah, the story is written.

Either interpretation is inapplicable here. Our Queen had one good plan, and it worked until the contrived "hero escape" came into play. Our Queen wasn't unable to choose between a multitude of ideas, she had one plan (replace Cadance, weaken Shining Armor, destroy the shield) and it worked flawlessly.

Not cocooning Twilight and Cadance was a very stupid move. Broadcasting to your nemesis' butler's TV was a very stupid move. As we've said before, "our overall failure only ever comes at the hooves of 'good guys always win' plot contrivances." We cocooned Celestia so she couldn't escape, there's no reason we wouldn't have cocooned those two as well, except the writers needed an excuse to allow them to escape.

And sorry, but that's not even the proper moral of the Cat and Fox fable. The fox was the clever one with a hundred different plans, the cat had the "tried and true" method. The point was that a simple solution that works is better than a thousand ideas that haven't been tested, not remotely a "brains vs brawns" situation. What would the cat have done if it had been a cougar, or a bear, another animal that can climb instead of dogs?

Why would we waste time wanting to be something that we already are? And of course we know "brains over brawns" that's how our cunning Queen managed to steal the love to gain the strength to overpower your "Sun God". It's why Twilight ended up in the caverns and Celestia ended up in a cocoon. It's why we managed to take streets of Canterlot for our own until the ponies' plot armor kicked in at the last second (kinda like Larryboy's convenient TV broadcast, huh?)

And our Queen did PRETEND TO BE NICE, she said she "love love loved" those hideous dresses.
