I read 's journal on the Royal Wedding episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.  I do understand her reason, but there some things that I disagree with. I'll try not to be to harsh on the criticism I'm going to give out.

The part where you say the it just going to be a attempt to sale toys,  C-puff do you know the story behind My Little Pony friendship is Magic ? Laura Faust, the creator of the series, didn't like how previous My Little Pony series was just being girly  and a commercial for toys.  She wanted to series be something that girls and adult viewer could like that isn't some toy commercial.  I don't see the series as an commercial, I view it as an comedy. As I have mention on my comment I have to watch the episode first before having judgement with it. You should do the same as well, you can't just assume how that is going to be like based on a toys and a wedding event that had though series does had pop culture references.  I feel that you're being a bit biased. I even mention that there are other toy company beside Hasbro are like that. Take for example the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, the original series, aired an episode that shows the Cyber Turtles, that seem to be Playmates  attempt to sells toys, beside that the 2002 version of He-man air an episode featuring Samurai version of both He-man and Sketeor, Mattel attempt to sell action figures. I could name a lot, but I'm not going to mention them.  What I disagree the most is where you mention about the character being Mary Sues.  How are Shining Armor and Cadance Mary Sue ??? I have watch the series and each of the character had personalty and flaws. You haven't seem that episode yet, therefore, you don't know about their personality.  That would be like saying Lion-O from Thundercats (2011)s a Mary sue because he got the Sword of Omens , however, he has some flaws, on an episode where he had a duel with someone, he became over confidence thinking that he'll win and lose.  I believe that Shining Armor and Cadance will have flaw  

I do apologize if I been rude, just wanted to something.
