The Death Game “ I’m having trouble with a stalker lately… While returning from high school with Joe, I encountered my stalker. On the night of the kidnapping, Sara had stayed after school for clubs but had fallen asleep in a classroom. She later awoke and, realizing how late it was, headed off home. However, she was stopped by a shadowed figure. However, the figure revealed itself to be her close friend, Joe Tazuna, who had been waiting for her. He happily narrates his date with their mutual friend, Ryoko Hirose, to her, much to her lack of interest. The two walk home together.Īs the conversation began to fall flat, Joe asked if things would be better for Sara if she had a boyfriend and if the reason she couldn't sleep at night is because of her stalker. Joe reveals that the reason he'd been walking Sara home as of late was because he was worried for her. While the two continued walking, a figure appeared, illuminated by a street lamp's light. Sara notices them and runs in fear with Joe all the way home. Joe reassures Sara that she'd be fine and he head off presumably to his own house. As Sara enters her home, she immediately notices how both dark and quiet it is, having expected her parents to be waiting for her. When she enters the living room, still stunned by how dark it is, she turns on the lights and finds her mother unconscious on the floor. In My Little Pony: A New Generation, Hitch is a sheriff who comically keeps to the letter of the law - generally characterized by enforcing litter ordinances that he can recite from the town charter from memory. Over the course of the film, however, Hitch gets to know Izzy and Zipp and Pipp, and grows to see that he was wrong. Not about litter, of course, but rather, about unicorns and pegasi, and the unjust laws, superstitions, and economic power structures that caused Maretime Bay to fear them and systematically “other” any foreigners. That pivot is what made Hitch a compelling character. He was a well-meaning pony who took his social responsibility seriously, but was also strong enough to admit that he was wrong, and actually causing social harm in the process. His arc is a morality play of sorts - an example of how rigid, dogmatic thinking can put a good-hearted person on the wrong side of history if they’re not careful, but also how they can become a genuine force for good if they are receptive to earnest critique, and open to change. Sadly, all that goes away in Make Your Mark. The writers don’t seem to know what to do with Hitch, so he ends up inserted weirdly as an authority figure where authority figures simply do not belong. In Episode 2, Growing Pains, the pony who once adhered religiously to town ordinances, is now a despot who rules by decree, (simply because the plot required the story to explore the question of earth ponies and whether or not they could control their new found fauna magic). He makes up laws on the fly that go against everything he came to believe in in MLP: A New Generation. In Episode 5, The Cutie Mark Mix-Up, Hitch is depicted as overseeing a community garden with an iron fist, er…iron hoof. The very idea is ridiculous as it negates everything that a community garden is supposed to be, and what it is supposed to represent. In Episode 8, Have You Seen This Dragon?, Sparky goes missing, and Hitch does not take it well, (nor should he). In this episode, we see Hitch’s softer side as he gets (rightfully) worried sick about Sparky. It does not store any personal data.However, rather than simply being scared, or vulnerable, Hitch hardens and turns into a gritty masked vigilante both above and outside the law.
