When Tropers.Ohvist re-added, they also added a bit more info in the middle of the paragraph.
Would this still count as an Edit War?
Definitely not RRIU, and in my opinion, the re-add is edit warring.
Probably qualifies as Forgotten Phlebotinum, but I'm not familiar with the series and the whole alternate universe/time travel thing seems to complicate the matter. I mean, should they have known they would this particular piece of Phlebotinum in the future?
A good place to ask this question would be the Is this an example? thread on the Trope Talk
forum.
ReedRichardsIsUseless misuse?
Reed Richards Is Useless
This was added by Ohvist, which I removed citing Twilight had a spell to remove changeling disguises meaning it would be unnecessary/not enough to prevent what happened. Ohvist added it back with the addition of "While it was shown that Twilight could dispell a disguised Changeling by herself without the salve back in the events of A Canterlot Wedding, it was only because she knew they were possible Changelings, and not every Unicorn would know how to master the spell, and it still leaves the Pegasi and Earth Ponies vulnerable since they cannot cast spells to begin with."
I still think it's misuse as Reed Richards Is Useless is about not using fantastical things for other mundane problems, this is not using the fantastical thing for the fantastical problem it was originally meant for. There's also a whole lot of speculation or debatability with it (the salve would only be useful if one suspected one of being a changeling which wouldn't have avoided this as they figured it out on their own and the plot was rescuing them, we don't know how they were captured in the first place or any limitations of the salve, maybe Zecora couldn't develop the salve without changeling magic to practice with) I'm not sure if it's valid to move to another trope like Forgotten Phlebotinum. Should this be cut and/or moved to Head Scratchers?
