I feel like if they left it at that people would want it to be resolved. Either it worsens and they become enemies or it gets better and they become friends. I would imagine it’s why the writers never really did that :D

Dunno about that - part of the reason people like Equestria is becuse it’s realistic, but another part is that it’s pleasanter.
 
Anyway, there was an episode more or less around this - Maud Pie. It was just that there was no actual dislike, just apathy.

Which is true, but maybe that’s just too “real” for them. Stuff works quite a bit differently in real life than it does in a cartoon. Like just look at what Discord did. Not to stir up a political shitstorm but can you imagine what would happen in real life if a close associate of the leader of the country organized and armed a domestic terrorist group so the military could defeat them and make said leader of the country look good? XD

You mean Just Cause uh yeah that would be bad. Don’t get me wrong, the fantasy must be maintained, but the fantasy gives them room to deal with some heavy shit. I’d like an episode about mental health, specifically because the show could get away with it.

Yeah, that didn’t exactly happen outside of supervillains, where Chrysalis was making it clear they’d never stop until Twilight and all of her friends were all dead or worse.
 
Well, arguably it happened in a roundabout with Flim and Flam, when they decided to continue their con artistry antics in Viva Las Pegasus, but they’re not exactly friends, being willing to save them when it matters the absolute most aside.
 
I’m of the opinion that perhaps Starlight should’ve mutually or one-sidedly called it a quits with Trixie, or the other way around, on account of them being fundamentally different, in that the latter is notably narcissistic (if still a good pony), and can piss her off on a thorough scale, like few others can.
 
@Latecomer
 
Yep, it kind of was an upscaled version of that.
 
@Dustcan
 
Aside from some G1 Grogar fans being notably mad, not inherently a bad idea, at all.

I’ve always been a big fan of that kind of fantasy setting, where it’s presented as a more idealized and pleasant version of our world but is objectively worse when you actually analyze it :D

Startrix is way too cpmpatible to break up over that sort of thing. In a way,their relationship is also bulit on the principle of unlimited forgiveness - they both know they can be terrible ot other ponies, so they need a friend who has no room to talk.

I think it’s very intentional. It’s a pretty standard setting for a fantasy world. If the world actually was that idealized there’d be no conflict, and if the world was presented as that bad and dark it’d be too depressing to watch :P

If you mean compared to our world, I say they’re roughly equal, but Equestria might be slightly better since a lot of the problems in our world don’t seem to exist there.

Equestria is a ton better.
 
 
Immortal dictators with no term limits are generally benevolent.
 
Hardly anybody ever suffers injury, maiming, or death from any of the crises that occur (the primary exception being Tempest Shadow who comes from Moviequestria which is different.)
 
The educational system is phenomenal.
 
There is no hunger or poverty.
 
There is little to no body-shaming or slut-shaming beyond foalhood partially because almost everyone is a nudist.
 
Every single individual receives passive community help to discover what their purpose in life is and, if nothing else, is guaranteed a racial power that makes them good for something.
 
Most of the bad guys can be reasoned with or talked down.
 
Almost everyone is adorable.

I really wish they’d done a Starlight Our Town episode…
 
I do too. If Starlight had to earn her redemption and forgiveness instead of it just being handed to her, I might have liked her more.

Discord being redeemed is literally the worst thing to ever happen on the show. Everything about it, from him befriending Fluttershy, to him constantly acting like a jealous five year old all the time, to being the biggest dumbass ever, and so on, all worked together to RUIN Lauren Faust’s character beyond repair and everyone responsible for doing this to him should be ashamed!!!!!
 
The writers don’t even understand his original personality. He was never actively evil originally, so there was nothing to “redeem.” It’s just that his chaotic personality was way too dangerous for Equestria. Reforming him (which is still a terrible idea no matter what) should not have been about making him like tea parties, which is major cringe, it should’ve been about finding a beneficial outlet for his chaos. The fact that they never did an episode about him and Pinkie where he makes chaotic parties with her just shows that the writers don’t have the slightest clue who Discord even was originally.
 
I consider him to be a different character now. Maybe a different member of his species turned themself to stone and stood where Discord was, because they overheard that Celestia was planning on redeeming him. That would explain his CRINGEY personality!!!!
