Thanks, my questions are; (remember most of them are more opinion at the end of the day, rather than actual answers)

1. While the appearance of The Shadowbolts is revealed to be an illusion created by Luna in the first episodes, are their very existance an illusion i.e. did The Shadowbolts ever exist at all?

2. Seeing as two of the CMC are related to the Mane Six, how come they never met before the episode where the CMC is formed? (the scene in the first episode has been sadly confirmed as a mistake). Logically, they should have at least heard of each other before, right?

3. This is really opinionated, so brace yourself; In Owls Well That Ends Well, the point of the storyline is Spike was jealous for no reason, and "Owls are delicious" or whatever you call him was never the bad guy after all. If that's the case, why did it really look like he was? They had that weird head turning thing, and he was meant to only help at night, why was he helping during the day? They made it look like he was trying to make Spike jealous at times (like passing the item he was already getting - it didn't make the owl look helpful, it made him look like he was doing exactly what Spike thought he was doing). I still like the episode, but did anyone else find it poorly structured?
