鞭尸这匹马
你是否曾好奇过，为什么《小马宝莉：友谊是魔法》会有如此糟糕的结局？
你有没有想过，为什么它的风格如此怪异，好像与剧中的其他部分都不搭配？这究竟是恶作剧、糟糕的同人作品，还是有人故意搞砸的？
好了，到此为止吧！让我们深入幕后，探索友谊是魔法的精神究竟是如何被消灭的。

特此声明：
我能预料到有些人仅仅刷了一眼上面的简介后对我的反应。我知道这会让我显得很愤世嫉俗，好像我无法释怀，就像我在……哈哈，徒劳无功地鞭打一匹死马（我之所以这样形容，不止一个原因）。如果你的第一反应是不屑为伍并关闭该标签页，我请求你给我一次机会。至少，请看看第二章，我会以一种更有趣的方式展开叙述。
来吧，让我们去鞭打这匹死马。
注：作者在帖子后边跟了一条介绍其观点的PDF文件，共210页。我暂时没有力气去翻译或阅读整本文件，只能稍作浏览。我将网盘资源贴在这里，欢迎观看。同时，我在等一个合适的时机，或者一位有志于此的读者或译者，能够接续前路将这段故事讲述完全。

Beating A Dead Horse
Did you ever wonder why MLP:FiM had such a terrible ending?
Did you ever wonder why it felt so off, like it didn't fit in with the rest of the show? Almost like it was a hoax, a bad fanfic, or purposefully bad?
Well, wonder no more! Go behind the scenes as we explore how, exactly, the magic of
friendship was killed.
Now, a disclaimer.
I know how some people are going to react to this, just from reading that little blurb up there, and from reading just the first page. I know how it makes me look bitter, like I can't let things go, like I'm just, haha, beating a dead horse (the name I chose for this is appropriate for more than one reason). And if your first reaction is to roll your eyes and close the browser tab, all I want to ask is that you give it a chance. At the very least, check out chapter two. It lays things out in a way that I think will grab your interest.
So come on, and let's go beat this dead horse.
