->"This is a Tuesday thing isn't it? It's something not on the Mayors itinerary that every Tuesday every pony in town has to take hard drugs or have some sort of head trauma for the day just so the collective herd IQ drops by fifty percent isn't it." Twilight growled into her fore hooves.

-> There comes a time in all forms of media consumption where you are so utterly bewildered by an event taking place, that there are so many things wrong with it, that you don't have words and you simply laugh.
-> When I saw this sequence for the first time, I wish I had recorded it. I burst out laughing, struggling to compose myself, and I was fundamentally blown away at what in the world I was seeing. And the kicker? I wasn't even entirely sure of ''why.''
-> It's like so many issues cascade on your brain at once; you are overwhelmed, and you couldn't possibly pass it out in the amount of time you have left before something utterly ridiculous happens'' on top of ''what you just saw.
-> So that's why we have videos like the one you are listening to now; to have a moment to think, to collect information and lay out what happened. Because... '' what the fuck?''

-> And even though the mountain that Thorne's company wants to get to is right next to Lake town and logically it's the next place the dwarves would want to go... that is not where the bad guys look. Oh and also Legolas and Toriel show up to help.

-> So now the dwarves that aren't supposed to be here have to fight off the Orcs that aren't supposed to be here with help from a guy who isn't even in this book and a woman who is made up for this story solely so one of the dwarves could have a hot elf girlfriend and the elves that aren't supposed to be here have to heal the dwarf that isn't supposed to be here because he has a magic evil wound that he shouldn't have because the bad guys that weren't supposed to be here had evil magic weapons that they weren't supposed to be given by the bad guy who isn't even in this story!

->''I hold that all {{God Mode Sue}}s inevitably end up with {{idiot plot}}s. If - and that’s a pretty big if - not by virtue of the suethor failing to grasp the implications of all the powers they have heaped and keep on heaping onto the Sue, then by virtue of the suethor being far more interested in showing off how awesome their character is and/or indulging in their personal power/revenge/harem fantasies than actually bringing the story to a conclusion. In either case, we end up with a character who, despite trivialising every encounter, consistently fails at actually bringing things to an end, seemingly caring far more about their own self-aggrandisement than their supposed heroic motivations.''

->Leia is totally daft military leader. Poe is [[YourMom ya momma joking]] his way in battle. The NR is just filled to morons. Luke is stupidly hiding under the wrong beliefs. And Rey thinks she can save Hitlers soul after 1 day of Jedi lessons.\\\
The only person who isn’t an idiot is the one person who the ST literally calls a dummy. Finn. He gives up to date accurate intel that saves billions of lives.\\\
Yeah the entire plot and world building of the entire ST rests on nearly every character being stupid and cartoonishly dumb. Which is then more of a reflection of its writers
