For example, the mane 6 had to be captured in to where and back to make the changellings and the new hero team to look better. And then Tirek, in my opinion back then “a brute with some fire powers” worfed a more amusing reality warper Discord by manipulating him, though to be honest here, is just that I find a childish jackass like Discord far more amusing than Tirek, who is more serious and less entertaining, and I must admit I warmed up a tiny bit to him later. And then in mirror magic, the humane 7 are rendered into damsels in distress because of the mirror and are to the expetancy of getting saved, all without any real struggle.
I must admit, I understand when the heroes are in compromised situations, but in those cases it feels more like if they decided to make them look less to make others shine. I don’t like the concept of bringing someone down just to make others shine.
