Talk:Putting Your Hoof Down/@comment-6492126-20120305191228

Think of it this way; the story fits around the episodes. Not the episodes fit around the story.

Of course, for the moral to work certain elements in the universe need to be changed, which is why we see such drastic changes from 'A Friend in Deed' and 'Putting Your Hoof Down'. Studio B aren't aiming for absolute continuity between episodes. For the moral to work, they have to change the episode situation each time. In this case: how 'mean' Ponyville's residents were.

It's a kids show, of course stuff would be changed between episodes. That's how they work the morals.
