YMMV / Lopoddity

• Draco in Leather Pants: Moondancer is given plenty of sympathy and most of his supporters tend to overlook or disregard that his insecurities and such are the result of him believing that he should be the best because he is descended from Starswirl as well as his negative attitude and lust for power. They emphasize more his struggle with his father and having his former friend be better than him by natural talent and hard work. Word of God has pointed out this trend despite her plans on making him more or less the Big Bad of the verse, especially when she mentioned there would be little he wouldn't do for power.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Despite some very strong character similarities, Cupcake was designed before Maud Pie aired.
• I Knew It!: The reveal of Moondancer's father being Blueblood isn't too much of a shock considering his appearance gave him away.
• Informed Wrongness: Moondancer is painted as being in the wrong for ending his friendship with Pandora and Cupcake and Pandora lectures him on how his quest for magic is pointless because it doesn't make him happy, but it's hard to argue that Pandora wasn't exactly a brilliant friend to Moondancer, since she constantly patronised and teased him and would always rub his face in it when she inevitably beat him at magic. Plus, Moondancer isn't wrong when he says that eventually people have to grow up.
