I know that this has been a divisive subject amongst fans. I myself ran through the gamut of reactions from frustration to acceptance. But in all of this I fear we've lost sight of one of the main issues:
What will become of Applejack's farm truck? I just don't know!
This comic is my own way of venting over the recent announcement for the season finale. I won't have a solid opinion until the episode has actually aired, and I am hesitant.
The only thing to do is enjoy Games Ponies Play, and then see how Magical Mystery Cure goes. And remember that out of all the oddities that can come from a toy-driven show, nothing (not even Twilicorn) is quite so odd as Applejack's farm truck.
Hang in there, everyone! I hope you enjoy the finale and this comic!
True story: For my birthday in 2011, my friends got me Applejack's truck. It was more of a joke since, as goths, the idea of anything cute or fun causes them physical pain. I had never seen it before, but my mind conjured a dozen questions. These included: Where would ponies get fossil fuel? Does it run on magic? If so, how does she fuel up? How does she steer? Is it stick-shift? Who the heck thought this was a good idea?
That is what it's like to be me.
The truck sat unopened on my shelf for about two months before I decided I would never be an MLP merchandise consumer and I donated it to Goodwill. If people enjoy it, good on 'em. It's just not my thing.
Dear Princess Celestia, Today I learned that you shouldn't make cardboard cutouts of your friends. Especially if they have magic.
Okay, serious now: this comic hit the internet about two weeks before Magical Mystery Cure aired. The fandom had just learned about Twilight's new wings and title, and the drama was in full swing. It seemed to be all people were discussing, and as the flame wars intensified the show itself seemed to sour.
This comic was just me poking fun at the situation. A little joke and absurdity to lighten the mood.
AJ: Oh, come the f*** on!!!!!!! I just had her detailed!!!
Still,
