>>43223027Earth ponies fill cast fist.Also if you consider Tempest's story canonical, then it's an observable scientific fact that if you break a unicorn's horn, the unicorn will grow three times bigger and swole as fuck and beat you up.
>>43223027yes.
>>43223027Why not just kill the unicorns?
>>43223244why not just raze ponyville with explosives? are they stupid?
>>43223027that's too evil
>>43223098>if you consider Tempest's story canonicalIs it not? They reference the events of the movie on the outset of s8
>>43223027Because the villains frame of reference for being evil is Equestria, where being evil is looking scary, trying to force everypony to do your bidding and locking ponies in comically large cages. Not making foal-rape-bots and doing unicorn holocausts.
