This episode was EXTREMELY unsettling.

Being stuck in a room with a creepy man, who locked the door, muriel can hear you but she isn't doing anything to stop him, he's crazy and shaving away your decency and no one is helping you and you can't do shit.

thank you.

Exactly, that's what I've been trying to explain to leonhardt. The goal of warfare now is to take your enemies by surprise so that they don't have a chance to react. But he keeps saying that that's an unfair argument.

She's a wizard.
She knows straight, brightly glowing beams of light are probably extremely dangerous.
It would only take a second to use her vast power to change all the Giant Death beams into harmless Bubbles and Butterflies.

What you guys keep ignoring is the fact that it's magic.
It can do anything. Instantly.

The butthurt makes sweetie belle sad

Shining Armor is shit tier compared to Celestia, though.

And plasma tech is limited entirely by the laws of physics and science.
Celestia could just open a big ass portal and redirect it back into space.
Or fucking turn it into bubbles and butterflies.

Not really. "Science Fiction" implies that it still follows science and physics.
Put that up against the unlimited potential of Magic, and Magic comes out ahead every time.

Yes, but that was after severely weakening the pony who had put up the shield.

too late there already here...all i can do is drink to family and friends that are no longer here...cheers
