Description
The latest episode is perhaps the laziest example of reforming the villains in the entire series. Did they even see the previous episode Ahuizotl was in? How did he go from Jungle Blofeld to jungle security guard in fear of losing his job?!
Yeah, he’s a potentially good reformed anti-villain.
Though one thought I have heard is that Ahuizotl or perhaps some other species of creature in the basin, isn’t capable of reproduction at the areas normal temperature and that raising the heat would have actually made it possible for them to breed. Which in that circumstance, Ahuizotl is actually trying to help one of the creatures he is a guardian of, which would have been cool.
Too bad, the writers decided to drop this bombshell in the last season without ever explaining all Ahuizotl’s actions.
I can respect that point of view, but personally, the previously established canon seemed kind of stupid, so I don’t really mind. It honestly feels more like the writers put more thought into this episode than some of the previous Daring Do episodes.
Uh, no. Nowhere in “Daring Don’t” is it shown that anyone is in favor of what Ahuizotl was doing. He’s doing it simply because he’s evil. And thw reason why the Princesses didn’t bother to step in is because they are completely and utterly useless whenever a crosis comes up. This has been true from the very beginning.

We don’t likw it due to the writer not bothering to do their research before they wrote this episode. It’s yet another writer retconning previously established canon just so they can have an excuse to pull a reformation out of their ass to justify the stupid sub-plot throughout the season.
The book in Read It and Weep was written from Daring Do’s perspective, so I wouldn’t say that this is a continuity error.
It really does. I mean, there’s still obscurity over when or why Garble took a liking to the beatnik getup and bongos, but I can imagine circumstances where it makes sense.
Here… the only plausible circumstances involve the Truth Talisman not doing its basic function, and that just pushes “Daring Doubt” further into the ground.
Maybe he was hoping the heat would keep out thieves? IDK, the Daring Do episodes already require a bit of mental gymnastics to make sense, so I’m willing to ignore a few contradictions.
It’s such a pity that Derpibooru doesn’t allow you to pin comments like YouTube does.
The reason they don’t like it because it frankly doesn’t make sense. If he truly is a “guardian of the ruins”, why would he have out-of-book dialogue like this?
Its fine if you do. My only problem with it is that I wish he could have explained his actions from previous adventures in which the writer for the episode clearly didn’t do research about.
A good backstory shouldn’t depend on what you hope the audience forgot.
Even if Daring Do was in the past a part of that organisation, didn’t Bon Bon explain that the Agency was shut down a few years ago? If that’s the case, Daring is still most likely not acting on orders from Celestia, so they’re not involved with her rivalry with Ahuizotl.
And the other place was a secret compartment in Golden Oaks.
Which i sadly can’t find a picture of, but it was in Too Many Pinkie Pies.
My money’s on coincidence ;P
This sign on Bonbon’s briefcase,
Is seen in only two other places, one of which is one Daring’s Gear!
When does that happen? :/
But, Daring Do is a part of their Spy Organization!
Edited
facts,evidence,lying when one scene of Ahuizotl was just in a story
where Daring Do was explaining what happened but never really took place
I remember that.
