Of course the show is pretty big on black and white morality with very little grey area, so you’re probably right. A stage magician does her job, tells some tall tales to make herself look good and deals with hecklers the way most magicians would? SHE MUST BE A BAD GUY!!1! And I don’t even like Trixie.
An example of this done well is the Daleks from Doctor Who. They have been genetically engineered for evil by the mad scientist Davros, their entire society revolves around hatred fueled murder, and and they have no opportunity to learn to do otherwise.
A bad example of this is the Saiyan race from Dragonball Z, which has some parallels with FiM dragons. Apparently they’re all planet destroying savages, and Goku was a thrashing bastard as a baby until he fell off a cliff and smashed his head, then became like a normal human baby. Even after Vegeta joined the good guys, he wis still and asshole who murdered people left and right and was still focused on gaining power to beat Goku.
Yeah, I know it’s completely crazy and has no basis in the shows reality, but one, I just don’t like the idea of a species being Always Chaotic Evil (there’s Spike, but his own episode indicated he’s rejected his dragon heritage entirely) without some sort of logical justification, and two, I really like Genesis of the Daleks.
Did you read my entire post? I said they didn’t evolve naturally, but were specifically mutated by a malevolent wizard.
>Then posits they evolved (mutation)
Dragons aren’t portrayed as “chaotic evil,” they’re portrayed as a self-indulgent, instinctual animal.
