Spike/Celestia and RD/Trixie were good because it was showing us interactions between characters who lacked them.
 
This.

@LuminoZero  
Hence the original criticism of the very concept of the story.
 
But what the hell, they’re dancing at Whinneyland. Who cares about a new story?

@Itsthinking
 
I will agree that some of the comic stories are pretty damn generic. I don’t normally expect much from the Friends Forever series, though. ESPECIALLY when it is dealing with two of the main cast.

Rarity/AJ has been done to death. There wasn’t anything new they could do here.

@Sjogre  
It’s less this issue in particular and more a general trend with the writing that has only been broken a few times.
 
I read every comic hoping it gets enjoyable, and I’ve been surprised a bunch. But then you just get something that is so generic like this and you just…you don’t get mad, you just kind of “meh” and move on.

@Sjogre  
If Spike comes out looking badly, I do agree.
 
@Itsthinking  
I don’t think anyone said it was shipping. I know I didn’t.

@Background Pony #8FFB  
Even Rarijack fans seem to have had to be desperate at this one, because it wasn’t written like that.
 
I’m intrigued by the concept of the bulls. Hopefully they’re better in their own issue, maybe like a classic pulp comic or something.

@Background Pony #8FFB  
Itsthinking only complains harder when Spike is involved.

@Itsthinking  
Since it’s not it’s easy enough to say that I guess. Even though I doubt it’s true.
 
Whatever though. Great issue IMO, looking forward to their next.

@Background Pony #8FFB  
Nah if this plot were replaced with those two I’d be more pissed than anything.
 
Ignoring that this isn’t even that ship heavy.

@LuminoZero  
If it was a SpikeXRarity issue it could be the tropiest most rehashed thing with literally no plot whatsoever and I doubt he’d have anything to criticize.
 
Me personally, as a non-shipper who tried to judge this fairly as its own standalone thing I thought it was hilarious.

@LuminoZero  
The art’s nice as usual. I’m just not a fan of the writing.

Oh hey, they are doing “The Navigator”.
 

Love the art.
 
That’s an order.

@LuminoZero  
You can’t be trying too hard to recall.

@Itsthinking
 
Remember when you enjoyed things instead of shitting all over them?
 
Me either.
