Tough love? :P

No, I still like Applejack quite a lot. My issue is with her episodes which again, like i said, are nothing spectacular or unpredictable. Why cant she have equally cool things like Rainbow Dash & the Academy, Scoots with her trip into the mountains & nightmares, going up against Discord, and etc? Why do her stories have to be so damn predictable? And sure, most episodes of the series are predictable but shit happening and tension is what makes you forget about the ending because it engrosses the viewers and makes you forget about the ending in the midst of the tension/conflict.

Admittedly, the TImberwolves were supposedly the 'cool' thing for Applejack but.... they were laughably weak and fragile (broke into pieces rather easily) whereas in Family Appreciation Day, they were pretty intimidating. In regards to SAYS as an episode, it was pretty god damn obvious that the timberwolves would return and that fake rescue idea by AJ has been done soooooo many times that it's rather insulting.

But yes, I do bash her a lot because I know she can have better things. Dont give me that "She's a farmer so the conflicts are family/less spectacular than RD's challenges" because that's just a poor excuse and look at Fluttershy. She went up against DISCORD, the most fragile pony (tremendously more so than Applejack) got up against Discord, a reality bending god while AJ went up a couple of easily shatterable wolves.
