i dont think the flim flam brothers should be antagonists. they were probably nice ponies who wanted to become members of the wonderful communities all over Equestria. however, every town they went to people would put them out of business. driven mad by poverty, they went to ponyville and tried to establish a living by sharing with the apple family, but they were rejected.they only wanted 75% because they were deep in debt from buying the materials for the super speedy cider squeezy 6000 that they could never pay off because they never got any profits. in theory, they could have wanted to befriend the apple family,as well as everypony in ponyville, but had their hand forced into fierce competition by capitalism. that makes sense, right?
