Looking at my comment, I feel I grammar failed and need to make it clearer that by except, I mean I cringe in that situation and not the one where the protagonist stands strong.

I can sympathize with that remark. We all have our pet peeves in stories and such. For me, my major pet peeve is whenever someone makes Lyra into a human-obsessed fanatic. I don’t care how well-written or made the rest of the material is, if they make Lyra obsess about getting hands or proving humanity’s existence in the MLP-verse, I simply rage quit.
You know what’s worse?
IT.
IS.
EVERYWHERE.
Aaaaaaaand there’s the difference. Personal preference is one thing. It just came off as you thought this was bad writing instead of something you just personally don’t like. And I can kinda am with you, as situations like this, except where the hero doesn’t stand their ground and they fall into a pit of despair, because it makes me cringe. Hard. But I don’t think it’s bad writing, I just hate to see it happen.
i’m not saying that the concept is bad, it can be used to demonstrate a hero’s integrity, that they will save people no matter what, even if they are hated and villianized, and they’ll even save people that might not deserve to be saved.
i’m simply saying that i’m not a fan of the “people against the hero” kind of story element. it’s not the characters, or the context here, it’s just that the “people against the hero” thing tends to put me off of a story.
this is just my personal preference of what i enjoy seeing in a story.
i also want to note that my comments here have no hateful intent.
People feel this way about both Luna and Chrysalis, and seeing these opinions has been sort of a peek into each person’s concept of justice. If nothing else, it’s been interesting for me to get a glimpse of something so personal and abstract.
Still, if it helps Luna…
Then again, it would be totally in-character for Chrysalis to turn friends and subjects against someone, especially if they get agitated enough.
Just look at Twilight and how Chrysalis made her look like a fool infront of her friends.
This concept can be done very badly, but in this case it really isn’t. Luna DID jump the gun on her instantly without letting Chrysalis explain herself. If she has asked and Chrys had refused to answer, that would be different. But she didn’t. And the past record has shown that Mare-Do-Well has actually been doing good. Look, I know what you mean by hating how everyone is against the hero, but that doesn’t make it bad writing. Sometimes the hero needs something like this for character development, especially if then are in the wrong. But yeah, if we do a 180 and Chrysalis really is bad, then it does make the whole thing kinda stupid.
that pretext is just an excuse to do this crap, which, if it goes the predictable generic route, is going to lead to luna being forced to go it alone with the world against her, with a strong possibility of a load of emo crap.
what’s going on in this page just gives me a strong negative impression
who they believe to be mare do well just destroyed a Monster in front of their eyes, and then a chick speaking medieval and waving swords around attacks her then an Explosion and then she is gone.
do you cheer for the crazy bitch with swords when that happens?
what’s going on right here. making the public have all the intelligence and likeability of a rarely cleaned outhouse.
the main character is using logic and reason, trying to explain things, but everyone is so busy panicking with their up their asses that they turn on the good guys.
i can’t stand it when that happens
What do writers do that piss you off?
How exactly did Rarity save Luna?
