What the hell is a Zenithrash

A better analogy would be watch a train crash, it's horrible and mentally scarring, but you just can't look away because it's fascinating how terrible it is.

It's been a while since i watch the show.
So, the show is basically in a weird ground here, with the story of a slice of life but the ambition of an epic story with a shitty attempt at moral lesson in the end?
I have some problems with this, like
>How did ponka got that instrument?
>Why did she suddenly loved playing that thing SO MUCH?
>Ponks apparenlty can't take criticism since she went full pinkamena when denied to play the shitty flute
>Appulz is basically the token nigger now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vyq61qQF9ik
>The writter was a bit extreme making ponka MOVE OUT to yakistan AND LEAVE ALL HER FRIENDS BEHIND because she couldn't play, what weight has friendship for ponks at this point?
I really like maud as a character, so i will autism a bit here
>The writter seems to be scared of writting maud, making her just a placeholder for the sake of the plot, maud knows how important ponka's friends are for her and maud has also been shown to be a smart character, yet here she just airheads her way not caring about contributing to her sister's problems at all.
This thing, this thing requires some serious mental gymnastics.
All around the plot i see things that would either make the story more interesting or plain give good moral lessons, yet the writter seems to just want to get from point A to point X not caring about how the fuck will he manage that.
I can see he totally doesn't gives a fuck about this, just take into account what happens in the episode:
>He sets the stage at the intro with ponks playing bad
>Filler with some comic reliefs here and there
>Basically a slice of life at this point
>Ponies make ponks stop playing
>A small cute scene with ponks on the window
>Filler with ponks being sad and twilight and everyone else an airhead
>Ponks moves out to yakistan
>Smol filler
>Medium filler
>Big filler
>Ponies convince ponks to kee even thought she plays horrible, so they let her play(((?)))
>End of the episode """"""""solved""""""""
Ah of course, that is totally the end, ponks plays like shit, but now everyone just accepts that she plays like shit and apparently doesn't care about it anymore.
This is totally a horrible way to end the story, in the end nothing was solved, it was just a pointless tale, the moral of the story is basically "If you don't like what i do just shut the fuck up about it, spread your asscheeks and take it, nerd"
¿Guat De hel kaind of morál es tat?
There is something i found really interesting on the fillers that could have made a better story thoguth:
>When the poners tried to cheer ponks up, rara painted her all up trying to make her look like old ponks
This scene right here, the plot would have been a lot better if it centered around ponks trying to act happy and normal like dropping the instrument was not a big deal. (i'm sure this has been done on the past tho)
With a plot like this you could set up the stage for a better filler and moral lesson in the end, instead of "Live and let die" a moral that says "Do what you love but respect the opinions of others/Suffering alone is no good, open your heart to your friends when you have problems"
Thats just my 3 cents on this thing.

BEST EPISODE EVAR!
This was very relevant to me because I have been appreciating dissonant emo goth metal recently. I enjoyed Pinkie being off key. I especially enjoyed emo Pinky, walking past flowers and killing them, deflating balloons etc. The very worst part of this episode was Pinkie recovering!! Bring back Emo Pie, Best Pony!

Episode wasn't really bad or anything. But that might just be from me recently watching the Kirin episode and loving it and my own desire to see more depressed Pinkie.

Episode was meh. The Pinkie running as Mina away thing is something they've been building up to with episodes like secrets and Pies along with whatever the one with Maud's bf. Add that with the knowledge that Pank is already emotionally unstable from pretty much every episode that is mainly about her and yah this episode was set up to be bretty good if they played it right.
But they didn't really. They didn't kill it but they didn't do a great job either. For starters the jackiesack is a really dumb plot devise. Would have been better off if it was say Pinkie herself who fell under criticism. Second the episode wasn't a Pinkie episode. The story was about her but from the mane 5's prospective. This wouldn't be bad in itself but the way the episode was set up it'd be a lot more interesting to see more about Pinkie rather then the mane 5.
On top of the lesson sorta fell flat. It was more or less "don't stop be yourself" and that type of gay shit. No, if your annoying you gotta stop and care about others even if it means you gotta stop doing what you love, because you love those others more. So…
6/10 above average but not anything special. Also not enough Mina screen-time.

It's yet another "Fuck the bronies, we're proud of how shit we are at writing and criticism is inherently bad" episode from the babies who gave us at least 5 other episodes with this exact same fucking premise.

That's an increasing global trend, if the criticism is not just sucking your dick it's bad and it's from bad pepol.
