Ok dude, I don't even understand what you're talking about anymore. The continuity isn't as rigid or important as it is in say, the DCU or Star Trek or whatever, but it's still
there. Also, the show doesn't really go out of its way to explain magic, but it is implied that it follows strict rules. And "over the top without being called out?" What are you even saying?
This thread is dead anyway though. Love and friendship brother. G'night.
Exactly. There is no continuity, explanation, nor attempts to explain. There is no logic, and by extent, no science in MLP. Its a children's show where anything goes because of magic not being bound by logic or laws. Science, logic, etc are all replaced by magic which cannot be explained in any length. By being over the top, there needs to be a reason. MLP's reason is magic, which means it can do anything. Look at ed edd and eddy, the reason is lack of reason and logic. How much stupid crap has ed done? and believed? Lack of knowledge coupled with too much comics and TV. Over the top "just because" is seen as random, with no logical path to follow. people will call that out. A story with no path of progress or logic only ends in an intelligible clusterfuck if taken seriously like applying science to it. Family Guy comes to mind at its worst. For example, Brian is an Atheist yet he sees Jesus Christ perform real miracles, and forgets all about it in the next episode. If you're into offenders in games, the Indigo Prophecy is the worst offender, taking the logic of the world and replacing it with another over the course of time. In short, MLP has no science or logic, it just does whatever it wants. Just like 4chan.
