The bigger the "battle", the better the finale is. Probably why Fant! (ew) and Wishes are so popular, and also why they have emotion tied to them. The audience, subjected and "brought down" to the villains and extreme fire and pyro sequences, are subsequently also brought up by the usually uplifting and triumphant finale. While Spectromagic tries to do that with its Cherbenog section and sweeping score, there's nothing frightening about it and it's blinking lights, while real fire and blasting music, can arouse (Psych term...don't get dirty. ) the senses and emotions and provide for a better reaction to the show. I don't think that a parade can illicit that sort of reaction, much to the failing (IMHO) tries of Spectro. Parades, I think, are just there to be celebratory, like ToN, or just simply fun, like the MSEP.
