Sisterhooves Social isn’t a bad choice. It’s certainly a well done episode. And For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils wouldn’t have the same impact without that episode since Sisterhooves establishes that Sweetie Belle and Rarity do kinda have differences on things.

“And I also would have to respectfully disagree with you on how MMMystery on the Friendship Express should only be considered as a guilty pleasure. Because I really don’t have a big issue with the episode like you did (in which I found that you were one of the few people who had an issue with the episode). Since I actually feel that it was a loving tribute to film history in general, and even typical mystery tropes. I also don’t consider MMMystery on the Friendship Express a guilty pleasure because, I did find that most of the cast including the new additions, and Mane 6 were given plenty of room to deliver hammy performances which I find hilarious. There’s even the fact that unlike most cartoons that involve a mystery, this episode actually gives the audience a chance to solve it on their own, and it wasn’t too obvious with the reveal.”

Do you not understand what guilty pleasure means? It’s an episode I feel is one of the weaker of the seasons. But I enjoyed for the most part anyway. I just hear that MMMystery got flack for half of the Mane 6 eating a part of the cake despite how important the cake was to Pinkie. Or how Twilight was kinda ignorant of Pinkie when she was gathering up clues. I don’t think it’s that bad of an episode myself. It’s probably less guilty pleasure then my other picks. But I also don’t think it’s quite an amazing one. Albeit I did laugh heavily with the old film montages with Pinkie’s imagine spot for the chefs. This is just the closest to a guilty pleasure I could think of for Season 2. Because I generally agree that some of the weaker episodes are weak. Or most of the other episodes I like I feel are legitimately that good.

“And unlike you, I don’t consider the bad episodes of Season 2 to be one of the lowest of lows. In my opinion, I actually consider the bad episodes of Season 1 (Griffon the Brush Off and Boast Busters) to be far worse, like Double Rainboom bad.”

I thought Griffon the Brush-Off was pretty good… up until Gilda shows up. But even then. It basically becomes the average “Old friend is actually meaner then the new friend” episode. Boast Busters I also feel is one of the weaker episodes of Season 1. But at least it led to Magic Duel. And I do love the door scene with Twilight and Spike. Along with Twilight taking care of the Ursa Minor at the end.

“In my opinion, I actually don’t consider Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy to be one of the best characters in the show. Because honestly, Rainbow Dash would be my fifth favorite of the Mane 6 (we get it you’re awesome why not kindly shut up about it), and Fluttershy is my least favorite of the group (despite her character development in Hurricane Fluttershy and to some extent Keep Calm and Flutter On). I wouldn’t even consider her as on of the Top 10 best characters in the show. Though I also forgot to mention Fluttershy’s good character development in Dragonshy as well, sorry about that. Yet even then, I still regard her as my least favorite of the Mane 6.”

I have to say one thing: I can’t really dislike a member of the Mane 6 in whole. I can dislike how they were portrayed sometimes in an episode. But nothing has made me say any of the 6 are the worst out of all of them. Cause for me, it will always be Twilight > the rest of them no matter what. Since then it’s evolved to Twilight > Rainbow > Fluttershy > The Rest. But because certain parts of the show made me love those two more then the others. It was Hurricane Fluttershy that ultimately made me like Fluttershy more then I did before. And it was the combination of seeds planted in mid-Season 2, her portrayal in Hurricane Fluttershy, entirety of Wonderbolts Academy, her being the first to react positively to Twilight’s ascension, and even Daring Don’t and Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3 that’s pushed me over the edge towards liking Rainbow alot more. I’ve complained about Pinkie sometimes, but episodes like Pinkie Pride remind me why I can’t dislike her. I’m actually not into Rarity episodes as much as others are (For the exception of when Sweetie Belle or Spike is involved) but I still know that a majority of Rarity’s episodes have a good quality to them. And Applejack can be stubborn and doesn’t exactly get the focus she probably deserves in the earlier seasons. But AJ is still a character nice to see sometimes. It’s just how I’ve watched the show that Twilight, Rainbow, and Fluttershy all captured my attention more then the others somehow. I can’t tell for sure what that is. What do they all have in common… wings as of the end of Season 3? Nah, in that case I wouldn’t of like Twilight as much as I did before MMC :)

“And you know what, despite you saying that Mare-Do-Well should be considered one of the worst episodes in the series, I actually am still one of the few people who actually like it. Mainly because, I didn’t feel that Rainbow was out of character in the episode. Also your complaint about how her friends in it were mean-spirited, I’m just shaking my head no on that because, her friends actually did try to talk her out of it, so I’m starting to question if you’ve even seen the entire episode. Also, the other main reason why I didn’t feel that Rainbow’s friends were portrayed in a mean-spirited manner in Mare-Do-Well, is because when you let your ego get to your head, you kind of go off the deep end as a result, and sometimes when talking someone out of it doesn’t work, you would have to slap him/her in the face to get them to wake up to reality, as a last resort.”

I have seen the entire episode. Yes, I know Rainbow was pretty arrogant for much of Season 1. But I feel Mare-Do-Well took it a little too far. Plus the other things like the Rainbow Dash fan club that hasn’t been seen since. And Ponyville suddenly becoming a place where something dangerous happens every day like it’s Townsville all of a sudden. It just pulls alot of contrived stuff to try to make the story work. It would of worked somewhat if this was a show based on Superheroes instead of a slice-of-life show with the occasional adventure. But as it is. It’s just an episode that feels too out of place, and shakes the limits of the Mane 6’s characters too much for it to fit in. And while more entertaining to watch then Looke Before You Sleep. Just didn’t really do too much for me.
