^6 Takashi said it on the first page of comments. Also, thanks for telling everyone something they already know.

@Frels: Is FiM a “ages-4-and-up” girls show? Besides, you didn’t specify that originally, it was just “children’s show”. Plenty of kids show have that, but most little girls shows aren’t the right genre to even have some kind of “duel”.

Flim & Flam almost got away with kicking AJ out of Ponyville, several of the cantlerot snobs can make fun of Rarity and get a small mob that agree’s with them.

@candrew, Even in a land where life is unfair, people are still irrational and looking for someone besides them to blame. You’ll forgive me if I call you a fucking retard for saying people said Trixie attacking Twilight was sympathetic. Trixie is drunk with power, angry at the world, and looking for a scapegoat to shoot, of course she gonna be doing stupid destructive shit, nobody put in her situation would do differently. And maybe, in her crazed mind, she thinks that attacking the one mare who actually bested her undeniably would be the first step in rebuilding her image as a magician of merit. Illogical and likely to fail? Yes, fictional characters can act in ways that can be described like that, it’s what keeps stories from being bland and routine.

She ‘s attacking a national hero with ties to the immortal rulers of their nation. Unless she’d going for unrepentant bitch as her image, and considering the fact that she turns Ponyville into to Trixie-opolis that may be her plan. Still, your right, and Trixie was not the most clear headed pony to begin with.

Oh I agree with you, I’m just saying this, when one has their life ruined (High class performer loved by all, to person who spends their day doing hard physical work, laughed at by everyone you generally meet), it’s not exactly fair to expect them to act like the most sane or smart person in most matters, let alone one involving revenge.

Revenge isn’t a thing one does with the clearest of mind, her life was ruined their, when you take revenge for this sort of thing, you’re going to generalize everyone their.
 
And in a way, this is going to rebuild her image, sure she could beat a Ursa, or she could beat the freaking Element of Magic, in a magic duel, that rebuild her image as fast as possible.

Guys, seriously.
 
I AM NOT SAYING THAT TRIXIE IS A BAD PONY BECAUSE SHE LIED. I AM SAYING THAT HER REASONS FOR HER CURRENT ACTIONS ARE STUPID.

^^ Even in a land where friendship is magic, life can still be unfair. You’‘l forgive me if I don’t see assaulting an innocent pony whose only crime was proving, by saving her life by the way, that she was making shit up as being a sympathetic action. She has actual power now, she’d wasting it attacking someone instead of rebuilding her image.

@BP, incredibly common in an “ages-4-and-up” girls show?

I know that if my life was ruined, and I somehow managed to find a item that gives me good like power, revenge on the person that ruined me would sure as hell pass my mind, and all the rushing emotions would probably make me blame everyone involved, and I’m sure for a good chunk of you lot would do the same.
 
From her perspective, this is sort of like taking revenge on the person that foreclosed on her mortgage, sure it’s not legal, but you can atleast see where she’s coming from.
 
And you’re acting like these lies where nothing, it’s her fucking job, it’s no more a lie then writing fiction.

Trixie appears to be a professional idiot.

“She got upset that her lies were called out.”-candrew.
 
Yep, pretty much that. And that some jackasses spraypainted all over her mobile home. And she got kicked out of several towns without doing anything to them. And that she had to give up her live’s work and get a job breaking rocks open. All over mistakes that, while she played a major part in, were largely out of her control to prevent or fix in the first place.

Oh please, the “regular jerk comes back as a serious villain” thing is incredibly common, it isn’t some sign of FiM’s writing being the best ever.

^ She got upset that her lies were called out. I’m actually liking villain Trixie, but she has no justification for what she is doing, since her entire problem, outside her wagon being smashed, is entirely her fault. She has no sympathy from me because she has shown no traits beyond ‘bitch and blame others for mistakes.’

This is getting good.

@Candrew, And I again point out the drama isn’t over whose gaddamned fault the bear attack is. Trixie got found out about one tall-tale, one, and now her entire show is the laughingstock of the entire region, possibly the entire nation. She’s been mocked, her property debased, she’s struggling to make ends meet, and she’s looking for someone to point at and say “you did this to me”, just like anyone else would if their lives spun this out of control. Is she justified? No. Were some of her trials self-inficted? Yes. Is she the sole victim of this situation? No. Is she making herself the bad guy of this episode by pursuing revenge for the wrong everything? Yes.
 
HOWEVER; She isn’t some one-dimensional “Imma blow up a hospital for shits and giggles” psycho. She is a desperate mare who came upon alot of power at a very strife-filled time of her life, and let herself get caught up in the high and the revenge fantasies. She has depth, she has sympathetic traits, and trying to deny that or ignore it in favor of “well, if she only hadn’t said ‘Ursa’ specifically” is an injustice to the writers who have made a bona-fide, hurt-pride driven, dark-side drunk, shadow-counterpart villain. Yes, I called Trixie a villain, that’s what she is; a villain with new-found strength and understandable backstory and motivation and clear faults in her personality and reason for being bad that make it clear she is wrong for doing the things she does, and a whole host of other thingsas an antagonist that make her and FiM far and beyond the writing of any other children’s show. The writer’s have made a damn good anti-villain for this next episode, and I don’t know about you, but I want to just wait and tune in on Saturday for the full episode to see if the writing is good all through her screen time. Good night Derpibooru and thanks for the stimulating conversation.

I don’t give a damn how much they made fun of her, and rightly so at that, she’s not even close to being justified in her actions in this episode. She’s evil and unredeemable, plain and simple.

^^ At the very least it would get ponies to stop painting baby bear monsters on her wagon to scare her.

Once Gabby Gums revealed her secrets, she became a laughing stock.

I actually do feel sorry for Trixie here. Jerk or not, drawing graffiti on someone’s caravan is NOT cool.

:Feels bad, pony:

@Candrew: Her parting words were something like “you still didn’t defeat an Ursa MAJOR, so you still aren’t as good as Trixie”, so it would be pointless.

Well, okay, Ursa Minor then. Still pretty damn impressive.

^^ I think its an Ursa Minor since it’s holding a baby bottle.
