From DethroningMoment.My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic:
- Midna: The part where Applejack tears into Coco (or, um, "Miss") Pommel's dress is just horrendous and makes both parties look bad. In Applejack's case, it's turning an otherwise likeable (if in my opinion bland) character into a dick for the sake of laughs. Element of Honesty or no, there's being frank and then there's mocking someone behind their back, and AJ's not quite a genius but she's at least smart enough to know which of the two this is. Let's not forget that Applejack has actually met Coco before, gotten to know her, and grown to like her. She'd be damn well aware that a sensitive girl like her would absolutely not appreciate her design being trashed like that. As for Coco... well, she didn't do anything wrong really, it's the way the writers are treating her. Coco was shown to be an extremely competent designer in Rarity Takes Manehattan—her cutie mark is a fancy hat for god's sake—so where the hell did this "disco ball" come from? It's giving a lovable and extremely popular character the Idiot Ball for the sake of a gag, and it just comes off as disrespectful. (In fact, between the ridiculous dress design and her cold in The Saddle Row Review, it's hard not to believe one or more of the writers have a personal vendetta against the character for some reason). Come on, guys, you know how popular Coco is. You should have known this would be a jerk move. The salt meets the wound when you realize that this is the only time Coco is so much as mentioned in the entirety of Season 7. Nope, no physical appearances at all. That Rarity episode you're hoping for where she'll show up and melt your heart again? Not happening. You Coco fans are getting a passing mention so she can make a fool of herself and the sweet farm girl can mock her in an uncharacteristically mean way, and dammit, you're gonna like it. Oh, but don't worry—she gets a very few blink-and-you'll-miss-them, voiceless cameos in the movie! That makes up for everything, right? ... r-right?//
// No? It doesn't make up for that at all? Well then, just you wait till Season 8, where we'll give you the ultimate insult—a Manehattan episode with no Coco at all! Yeah, you heard right. Instead of turning to a trusted friend who she knows is passionate about fashion and has the skills to back it up, Rarity turns to Fluttershy of all ponies in Fake It Till You Make It. Meaning that disgusting, mean-spirited, off-handed reference we got in this trash fire is not just the last we're hearing of poor Miss Pommel that season, it's the last we're hearing of her period. My interest in the series had been waning for quite some time, but the show just had to hit me where it hurts by removing the one thing about it that still held my interest. Goodbye, Coco Pommel, and goodbye, Friendship is Magic. It was nice knowing the both of you, but nothing lasts forever.The last part regarding Fake It Till You Make It was recently added. I ask if that part breaks the "One moment per work to a troper. If multiple entries are signed to the same troper, the more recent ones will be cut and/or moved to the discussion page." rule, or if the "it's the last we're hearing of her period" should be removed because we don't know for sure it's the last we'll hear of her.
