    A bunch of people: .....Twilight sucks and she was out of character.
    Me: ......Have you ever seen an OCD person play trivia?
    Their response: .....No?
    Me: Then you wouldn't understand. Trivia games bring out bad sides in a lot of people.

      I believe Trivial Pursuit is viewed as one of the most likely games to trigger angry and arguments between the players even having at one stage possessing a dedicated helpline to provide impartial adjudication from the company.

    Strangely enough, I really like Twilight in this episode. Not only is her competitiveness rivaling RD and AJ here, but it’s also really funny. Not only that, but the episode after this is “The Summer Sun Setback”, where Twilight really showed her growth when she stopped being so obsessive and frantic. I’m betting that this episode was the reason why. Twilight has Twilighted for a lot of things throughout the series, but after she saw how she hurt Pinkie Pie’s feelings over a trivia contest, she realized how destructive her behavior was. That’s why she was so calm in the next episode, and why I’m perfectly fine with her behavior here.

    I know I'm like two years late, but I don't care lol. So here's the thing, it bugs me that almost everyone after watching this episode starts to shout and blame Twilight when they don't even try to see things from her view. And no of course I'm not siding with her actions, they were totally wrong (especially when she got Pinkie disqualified, that got me really peeved), but Twilight had really practiced and prepared for this game for a while and it wasn't quite nice of Pinkie to not take it seriously and just be this distracting person to not just Twilight but to everyone. And Twilight did try to coach her in the beginning and I just feel like Pinkie wasn't taking it very seriously even when she knew that game was important for Twilight. She could've been a little more respective and tried a little harder. So I don't blame Twilight for getting frustrated when Pinkie was being distracting. But the whole situation how Twilight treated Pinkie was totally wrong and unecceptible and I felt really bad for Pinkie. Instead Twilight should've just told Pinkie that she was being a little distracting and that she really wanted to focus on the game. But I give props to Twilight when she went to apologize to Pinkie and finally realised that her friends were way more important than the game, and even started from zero just so she could have fun with Pinkie! So yeah, that's just my opinion though 😅.
    Jeez long text, if you read this far props to you.

      I don't. She didn't even try to participate honestly in this game. She literally trolled every answer, was totally inconsiderate that Twilight has been preparing for weeks and had an ambition to fulfill. The least Pinkie could do is try to cooperate but she went into her "zombie fun" where nothing and nobody matters but her self indulgence.

    I wonder why every time there's a pinkie pie episode, everyone has to give up their ambition, personality or beliefs because otherwise pinkie pie feels bad and the character is baaaad. Meanwhile pinkie pie totally shits on things that characters care about, doesnt listen to them, is obnoxious or even downright hurtful (episode with singing fluttershy).

      It's the writing. The show writers should really communicate more and think about how they're portraying characters. Pinkie pie is the element of laughter. She's supposed to be making ponies happy. But in a lot of the episodes, she's indirectly not sticking to her element.
      It's all bad writing.

    • @M0ONCommander
      @M0ONCommander Před měsícem

      ​@@JJScene Real. Flanderization affected Pinkie Pie so bad in later seasons. It seemed the writers wanted her to be the silly character, and she started to lack self awareness and knew nothing about boundaries.
      Rock Solid Friendship felt particularly aggravating for that reason.
      Really miss season 2 pinkie, where she was a really optimistic friend, who is also really dedicated at being a beam of light to cheer up others, sometimes at the expense of her own happiness. It gave her a complexity that's really lacking later on.
      Sad fate :(

    To be honest, while I don't agree with Twilight's behavior... I still don't think it's all that out of character for her. Still, I think this would probably have been more at home in either season 2 or season 4, back when it was still fairly new territory for her.
    Either way, I really like this episode, and I think it has a fun character dynamic.
