I've got the feeling that DHX have decided to try lots of new things with the Mane 6 in season 7 - Family dynamics and history and how they've grown into their adult roles in Equestrian society. However, I think that this is being hobbled by the mostly-new writing team they have for this season. They've got complex stories that require careful characterisation in the hands of neophytes who probably have little experience with the characters and the settings.

This is why you have the problems that at least I have been having in several episodes (most notably Honest Apple and Rock Solid Friendship of characters failing to ring true or coming across as one-dimensional self-parodies or failing to reflect character development that has been seen through the series. I think that DHX may need to tighten up quality control - Have script read-throughs early in the editing process and treat the cast saying: "My character wouldn't do/say that" as an executive veto.
