Season 7 Episode Discussion [Speculation, Discussion, Spoilers] (SPOILER YOUR LEAKS)

@PonyPon  

 
Babs, anyone? They just wrote her off…

@Wiimeiser  
That’s less mishandled than it was aborted and resolved offscreen.

@PonyPon  

 
Are you talking about Twilight? Because I feel like beside some pacing issues her arc has been amazing.

@Holofan4life  
Primarily yes.
 
And I have a feeling people think it’s amazing because we’re constantly told it’s amazing.

@PonyPon
 
Well, the reason why I thought it has been amazing is because I feel there has been a natural progression. I mean, just because she’s the princess of friendship doesn’t mean she’s the best at it.

@Holofan4life  
I just wish being an alicorn had more weight to the story myself. :I

@Background Pony #DC1E  
The alicorn stuff alwys had as much weight as a bag of popcorn.

@Background Pony #7475  
Like are they unlikable sometimes?

Zephyr Breeze should return, really.  
It would be interesting to see how far he has progressed. And have him pester his sister again, this time over getting his hairdressing business up and running.

@Wiimeiser  

 
That was due to RL logistical reasons beyond Hasbro’s control.

@Anonycat  
That was one of my personal biggest grievances with the show.
 
@Background Pony #7475  
Not really, Dash can be abrasive and Ponks can be loud but I don’t think they ever stoop to unlikable.
 
@SeraphimDawn  
I second this.

@SeraphimDawn
 
And so he can hit on RD some more.
 
I enjoy how Shy’s parents ship it.

@Background Pony #DC1E
 
@gingerninja666  
Shy’s got great parents. Would like to see them more.
 
I would also like to see Zephyr retain some of his less than pleasant nature carried over to his newer, slightly more responsible self. After all, he is still Zephyr.

You know what I’m looking forward to most about the Rainbow Dash parents episode? Fluttershy’s reaction. Just like in Flutter Brutter I’m hoping Fluttershy plays a decently big role here since Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash as the two oldest friends of the Mane 6. Like I think it would be funny if the other 4 are all super hyped to meet them and go out of their way to try to get them in town with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash being super cautious and not really wanting to do that.

While Trixie is no longer “evil” and is more friendlier. She is still annoyingly egotistical, irresponsible, and somewhat self-centered. If you seen how she was eyeing the expensive looking broche in the jewelry store for herself without a care for the issue at hoof.

@EotD  
What do you mean by “oldest friends” in this scenario? Because I’m pretty sure the Pegasus ponies barely tolerated each other in the early seasons.

@SeraphimDawn
 
Eh. She’s still my second favorite pony.

@Background Pony #DC1E  
They are the oldest friends in the group. They have been friends since they were both fillies.

@Holofan4life  
I like how the writers are able to change a character without destroying the core of their characterization.

@SeraphimDawn
 
I agree. It feels very realistic.

@EotD  
How so? Dash defended her from bullies like she always does and then they were separated from each other, that is hardly a friendship.

I would like to see Zephyr flirt with Lightning Dust.

@SeraphimDawn  
Has that actually been confirmed, though?

@Background Pony #DC1E  
They both know each other, the Shy’s were really friendly with her as she seemed to know them and they both act differently around one another, they both bring out the best in each other. I mean Rainbow Dash goes to grab Fluttershy for Cider Season when she could have just as easily gone without her and have been in line sooner and she went with her to a Butterfly migration as shown in Dragon Quest, nevermind how Fluttershy helps Tank get closer to Rainbow Dash. Those two have a lot of chemistry together. Their dynamic is one of the best in the show IMO

@EotD  
So basically you think they were old friends because you ship them and not because of any actual evidence? :p
