[Had been reading this thread before, but nothing to add before. I realized today, when I clicked my link leading to the last post I read, it's been almost one year of being too overwhelmed to remember to stop in. So with this post it will turn up in my 'New Replies' page for the future.]
'Twilight Time' episode - moral (semi-paraphrasing): "we acted special because we knew someone special... but forgot she was special because she's our friend... and now things are good as new...."
WTF?
Not: "people aren't special because they are famous"?
Not: "regardless of whether you are famous or not, it doesn't mean you are better than other people"?
Not: "taking advantage of other people is never appropriate, no matter what the circumstances"?
Not: "we had to earn the trust of our peers back after using them so mercilessly"?
Seriously: WTF?
Until the moral, that was probably the first Cutiemark Crusaders episode I enjoyed. But just, "we forgot someone else was special just because they were our friend," as the moral? Lost the 'enjoyment momentum'.
