I have a sad feeling this season finale two-parter will be the worst episode to me. It all just.....—REEKS of
Executive Meddling. It's like for each episode, all Hasbro said was "we want this story to be about this morale! Otherwise, the sky's the limit! Go!", whereas with this two-parter, they said, "it should be concerning Twilight's previously-unseen brother getting married to a royal princess alicorn in a wedding held at Celestia's palace with
these designs and
these things happening, and should mirror the British royal wedding so we can market the Hell out of it!" Not only the outrageous hype Hasbro has built toward it, but Lauren wanted this show to appeal to all ages and both genders, and with a
frilly royal wedding??? The young girls may be interested, but would the boys? Disney has shown that boys probably don't want to see princess stories anymore, so why would they insert a royal wedding into a show that tries to
break from the target demographic? Maybe I'm still confused as to why the British wedding a year and a half ago had that much attention anyway...
