- i can see why it would appear that way. and they don't use magic to solve all their problems; if they did, the show would be extremely boring. i would guess that their magical abilities are limited in some manner, since some ponies are more talented at magic than others.natty_dread wrote: 1. That's all good if they have consistent laws in the universe. But to me it seems more like they're just winging it as they go.
It doesn't really matter if the laws of their universe don't make sense in our reality, as long as they have internal consistency. But do they have that? Seems to me that everything that doesn't make sense is just handwaved away by "magic" (see #3).
Electromagnetic radiation can't make items stick to their hooves, unless all items in the pony universe are magnetic. If they can use telekinesis, why do they only use it to float items next to their hooves?
And if it's magic, why don't they use the same magic to solve all their problems? Things just don't add up.
Also, who makes all their clothes and accessories?
Also: Why do they all have tattoos in their butts? Do ponies live in a trailor park?
2. I don't buy it. Human "moral standards" are pretty lax: humans are constantly killing others, doing immoral things for money, etc. And don't get me started on shady construction companies that cut costs and pocket the profits - leaving the inhabitants in deep shit 5 years down the line, living in a moldy or poorly constructed home. Humans have also been known to do stupid things. If ponies have similar morals as humans, they could well construct a castle near a cliff and just figure it's not their problem if it collapses, as long as they get the money.
3. Again, magic explains everything? Lazy writing.
rarity makes fancy clothes (as seen here), but i'm not sure who makes their everyday attire. most of them walk around naked; they are less sinful than us it seems.
they aren't tattoos, they're tram- i mean, cutie marks. it's hasbro's way of explaining puberty to young girls. google it.
- this is a castle for the leader of their world. i think the architects would be held to extremely strict standards.
besides, would you commit murder if there was no food shortage and everypony was able to lead a fulfilling life?
- it's possible that she didn't visit the moon bodily, but instead, her consciousness was transferred there. that wouldn't require breathing.
