I was thinking the same thing. Very perceptive of you to notice careful wording. Some people interpret dialogue differently and may get the wrong ideas.
To be fair, he’s protecting an ancient civilization’s relics. Who’s to say this ancient civilization wasn’t evil themselves? He could be the most evil character if so, a ‘guard dog’ trying to repair his old masters’ machinery.
@TheSultanAkbar
This literally goes against everything they already established. It’s not like they’re having him change his ways, they’re basically retconning it and saying he was good all along. That’s why it’s fucking stupid.
Why did you create an account just to complain about a show you lost investment in years ago?
Duh, he didn’t exist just to be raaaarrrgh evil
No. There’s a huge difference between a good character with flaws and a morally grey one.
As for the other complaints I’m seeing:
…what
It’s just heights that have visibility only over a season so it creates inconsistencies in the long term.
when they start saying too much nonsense they stop the show and they start a new one a few years later.
it’s up to the fans to deal with the different stories, so that its constitutes a universe behind.
by mixing the different adaptations one has the illusion that this world is well written.
It changes when you have a real height at the controls.
LOL
I’d be “flabbergasted” to see a person just sign up to a site to be annoying!
No, I point out critical flaws with the show’s writing and characters. I’m honestly flabbergasted as to how the show can screw over itself this badly.
Oh, wait, you’re that guy who joined here just to post paragraphs of complaining. Never mind.
That’s… stupid. You’re right, the show isn’t black and white. So? And Rainbow Dash is still loyal!
No, trust me, it’s a problem with continuity.
What really kills this whole thing for me is that it shows that neither side of the Daring vs Doctor rivalry is as black and white as Daring herself has made it out to be and is a rather sobering conclusion to the entire “Daring Do is real” subplot.
Even if the Doctor is still a greedy raider, Daring herself is only slightly less morally ambiguous while causing widespread irreversible archeological damage in her escapades and hoarding the treasures in her own house instead of donating them to museums. It’s Azihoutal or whatever is the closest thing to a good guy in this subplot is, just doing his duty in keeping these artifacts protected from greedy tomb raiders. And if Daring Do was really that concerned for the well being of such sites, surely a branch of the royal guard is more than capable of handling it. But we all know why she really handles everything she does. It’s the treasure, not the moral superiority. Honestly, why does Daring Do keep getting episodes? Do people actually care about her?
This ultimately shows why Rainbow likes Daring Do so much. They’re both hedonistic glory hogs who like to make themselves look good and often don’t care about the consequences of getting what they want. It proves how the writers see in Rainbow Dash, in all of their retconning bullshit. She’s supposed to be the Element of Loyalty, and yet she’s a selfcentered prick. Actually, this could be said for most of the Mane 6, with the only exception of Fluttershy. Daring really is a less violent Generation 1 Lara Croft for all the good and ill that entails. What’s the moral of this episode? Never learn too much about your heroes?
I never liked this subplot and am sincerely disappointed by Daring Do turning out to be not as blameless as she’s always portrayed herself to be. Good riddance.
Inconsistent continuity. That’s been an issue with the newer writers for years. Clearly, no one remembers, much less cares, about hard canon anymore! I mean, there’s ‘inconsistent’ . . . and then there’s this. This is a sheer travesty of bad fanfic-level writing and character assassination. But, honestly, I shouldn’t be surprised by this. Honestly, at this point, this kind of stupidity is exactly what I expect from the writers, so I’d only be surprised if they managed to keep continuity.
No doubt the EqD crowd will be mindlessly cheering it on, as their collective memory for detail tends to be worse than the writers’.
I think this episode serves as the final proof that making Daring Do actually exist in the show was a terrible idea, as I’ve said all along. And, really, that was what drove me away from the show back in season 4. I can forgive a bad episode or two because everyone makes mistakes, but that consistent flanderization of the entire cast (especially Rainbow Dash) destroyed everything good about the show, so I eventually just gave up.

It’s less a problem with continuity than problem with why he didn’t explain himself sooner.
Forgot i’d posted here before, this is me. Pointing it out to still fit the spirit of the rules despite there being no delete button.
Edited
You can say he was good all along, but what’s stopping a beatnick poet from being an (arguably) genocidal specist? (Can confirm the above post, am ponytheorist)
Edited
It established they take love, but NOTHING about their being unable to give or receive it. (They’re seeing it only as food would explain why they never tried giving/receiving it sooner.) Don’t confuse refuting what fans assumed with continuity errors, even if the new stuff makes less sense.
@TheSultanAkbar
At least Garble had an excuse for hiding he was good all along.
Other than this error it would explain a big question about Ahuizotl, why no-one else was dealing with such a supposedly dangerous being. My big gripe is if they’re redeeming villains by retconing away their crimes, why not do this for Starlight? Or are we supposed to assume they already did that?
What now
