the perfect example of narm ruining what could be a good adaptation!
cupcakes is a infame mlp fanfic that got some animated adaptations from 2011 to 2013, i saw all of the cupcakes animated adaptations (like 4 times each) and this one is the example of the trope narm.
i say that because i actually laughed in scenes that were supposed to be serious because they dont have a good execution, like why would pinkie pie look for 3 seconds at rainbow dash wings? or why would rainbow dash not die when pinkie takes most of her organs but would die after pinkie takes her hearth (literally that was the only organ that keeps her alive?).
however there are some positives here, the adaptation took some liberties in pinkie pie torturing rainbow dash and they are memorable if compared to most of the other adaptations, and different from other adaptations, this one actually has pinkie turning rainbow dash dead body into a stuffed manekin.
but besides all of that, this adaptation is weak.
