\\\'\\\'Dragon Quest:\\\'\\\' \\\"Ever consider the possibility that Phoenix birds might be extremely dangerous? So perhaps it\\\'s possible that Spike will raise it as a kinder, gentler bird.\\\" There\\\'s nothing that proves that phoenixes are that way. What\\\'s problematic about that entry is that Spike \\\'\\\'wouldn\\\'t\\\'\\\' know where they are. Flying creatures can go very far, especially in that time it would take Spike to travel back to their old nest, and the phoenixes would probably have abandoned the nest they were at because it was attacked.

\\\'\\\'The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000\\\'\\\': The Apples \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' lousy businessponies. In The Best Night Ever, despite something like nine months and access to Princess Celestia multiple times, Applejack did zero research, meaning she tried to sell food at a catered buffet that didn\\\'t even appeal to the clientele. In the Cider episode, she leaves most of her customers high and dry, makes no effort to try and help them leaving ponies like Rainbow Dash suffering for years, hires no additional help despite the fact that a few extra hooves proved they could easily supply the entire town as with five extra hooves, they made enough in less than an hour, and they let themselves be continually baited by the Flim Flam brothers, going so far as to surrender an entire field, which they demolished, as part of the deal they had no advantage in taking in the first place. Not to mention with demand \\\'\\\'far\\\'\\\' exceeding supply, they don\\\'t try to take advantage of the situation in any way, despite them having fairly constant financial problems. The cider business is how they make it through the winter, and they nearly shot themselves in the foot with all the bad decisions they made that episode.

\\\'\\\'A Canterlot Wedding\\\'\\\': The problems listed are the flaws in storytelling. Princess Celestia not noticing her niece acting in strange and unusual manners, despite what should be centuries of experience, is breaking the willing suspension of disbelief. Meanwhile, as for the reveal of Shining Armor, Twilight has been in Canterlot, in the palace, several times, including \\\'\\\'on her birthday\\\'\\\'. That would have been a great time to introduce the character. Instead, they wait for this episode, even though Twilight had been in Canterlot several times to see Princess Celestia, whom, one would expect, would have the captain of her guard nearby at most times, at least when she was in the palace.

\\\'\\\'The Crystal Empire\\\'\\\': How is unnecessarily risking the entire population of the Crystal Empire and subsequently the whole of Equestria \\\'\\\'not a bad thing\\\'\\\'? If they could have used the Orbital Friendship Cannon to smite King Sombra within five minutes of their arrival, then there is no reason not to do so. If they couldn\\\'t, we\\\'d be more accepting, but they should have spared a minute or two explaining why.

taylorkerekes, you keep accusing other people of being biased, but you seem to be biased in the opposite direction. A lot of the more obnoxious/stupid behavior of the heroes is brushed aside by you. There are legitimate complaints, even if the way this is expressed on the DarthWiki page is more done in the style of the CausticCritic.
