The Mistakeby *theflashguy

Cartoons & Comics / Digital Media / Comics / Strips

Another week, another great episode, and, apparently, another comic!

A day late, because I spent most of yesterday with my dad, but still, better late than never, right?

So yeh, this struck me during the episode: We don't actually see where Real Pinkie landed in the crowd, so the audience can't actually keep a track of her themselves - which means this scenario could totally have happened, and we would have absolutely no idea.
_{Cue the rush of fics where either the duplicate Pinkie has to try and hide their identity, or the mane six has to work out the secrets of the mirror pond to try and get real Pinkie back, or where, having been sent to the mirror pond, real Pinkie gets super pissed off, turns evil and returns. Seriously, I'll be VERY surprised if atleast one of those DOESN'T show up on EQD at some point.}

Yeah, that could've easily happened. Twilight seemed needlessly trigger-happy in that scene, blasting Pinkie's left and right, even if they were just reacting to somepony making a ruckus right next to them.

Srsly, someone starts talking right next to you, wouldn't you turn around? And what if Pinkie Pie had to, say, sneeze?
I could easily imagine one of the clones in front of her spontanously deciding to do a dance routine and showing her tail right in Pinkie's face, tickling her nose... aaaand ZAP.

Geez, Twilight, why didn't you - oh I dunno - use some of that PAINT to just MARK the clones?

But here's the real scary part that really bothered me.

Proceed with caution, you have been warned.

---------------- <warning, grim-dark episode-related rant ahead> ----------------

In the episode, we briefly got to know Pinkie's first clone. In those few minutes, after her first initial bursts of "fun! fun! fun!", she clearly displayed her ability of rational thought and emotion. The only thing Pinkie's clones clearly lacked was life-experience. Running around, breaking things and causing havoc ... They simply didn't know any better.

...the episode ended with Twilight blasting about 40 completely innocent ponies to Luna-knows-where, possibly to oblivion. Not out of malicious intent, or an out-of-character behavior, but because she and everypony else was too focussed on solving a "problem", and apparently did not even treat them as actual ponies, as seen when Dash just dumped the "original" Pinkie into the others.

Literally, that was the darkest ending to an episode I've ever seen.

And that says a lot for an episode with ~40 happily bouncing pink ponies.

I mean, I was literally sitting there at the end of the episode thinking to myself "... yeah, Pinkie learned a valuable lesson about friendship, that's nice, but I want to know WHAT THE HAY HAPPENED TO THE ~40 INNOCENT PONIES THAT TWILIGHT JUST ZAPPED?!"
