Description
You made sunset break down and weep uncontrollably. Good going!
Form their perspective, all that happened was a demon appeared, everything went dark, and when they came to, the mysterious purple girl was talking down to the school bully who was now in a crater.
We can only assume they were filled in on the details by the other five.
Then why do they hate Sunset exactly? If they were zombified before they even manage to see all the damage? (Sorry my memory of this movie is reeeeally hazy).
Scientists are smarter than that, but if the government had a reason to cover it up, politicians would definitely expout dumber theories.
Ugh, this is why the modern age of constant surveillance sucks, now you can’t make any fiction involving supernatural IRL because there would be billions of cameras spotting it. Especially if Canterlot is like Chicago.
I’d like to think we humans are smarter then that.
Knowing how we are, scientists would be right there to talk about storms and light refraction and such. Maybe even space aliens, they seem to like that idea.
What about the Rainbow Death Beam (of Death!) that was visible from halfway across town? You’d have plenty of eyewitnesses and recordings from beyond Canterlot High. Even if no one would believe “magical ponies from another dimension,” it would be hard to deny that something monumentally out of the ordinary happened.
There really wasn’t time before they got zombied. After that, it’s pretty much just a few girls with funny ears and wings and really long hair, which most people would probably figure to be a hoax.
Ugh, I forgot about that, nevermind. Still, those are teens, no way nobody took any pics at any point of the magic BS, pics that can be instantly shared on the internet thru 3G.
Fixed it in a montage?
Certainly more than what we’re getting.
Oh c’mon, you’re telling me nobody would have proof of this? Nobody took pictures? What about all the damage that happened to the school?
Bonus points if Diamond Tiara was running it.
That WOULD be an interesting storyline, wouldn’t it?
Ah yes, that school where they claim magic is real, demons are defeated by rainbows and magical pony girls, and dogs can talk. Just try to imagine them not becoming a laughingstock in the media.
Que?
It’s not like the press would hate on the school, it’s not their fault. They would get major international media attention from that.
Yeah, gaining major tabloid status doesn’t sound like any fun at all.
But they’re humans…
…Well you got me on the faculty one. Even if the Mane 5 are well loved by the students, seeing the faculty’s human personalities, lack of early discipline on Sunset’s blackmailing, and mentioning the event to attract more bad stares to Sunset when she was trying to be helpful, I don’t see the faculty that were witnesses, Celestia and Luna, as the most altruistic of people.
Even so, self interest is still a motivation for the staff. Having a demon as a student MIIIGHT be bad press for the school.
That the students and faculty are all such nice people they didn’t stir up trouble? I hate to sound cynical, but it doesn’t appear to me like that’s necessarily the case.
Darth Sonic meant every reason to ruin the life of Sunset Shimmer. Although that would of subsequently ruined the lives of the other 5 heroes who spent the whole night magically transformed…
@PonyPon
…which is explained in my last reply to you.
… Look, you ultimately know what I’m trying to get at.
I don’t see how they had “every reason” to do anything of the sort. They certainly had a number of reasons not to draw attention to the event.
Obviously, not closely enough.
