Talk:Hurricane Fluttershy/@comment-24.9.145.132-20120325055728

Watching this episode reminded me of the debates over "Putting Your Hoof Down" and how Equestria can't be an ideal place. I think this episode offered a more balanced view.

I wasn't surprised that Fluttershy got mocked as a filly. Let's be honest: children are horrible that way. And there was some unkindness from those pegasi who laughed when Fluttershy first tried to test her wind speed, but it wasn't as malicious as the ponies we saw in Williams' take.

The difference is how all the ponies came together at the end and supported Fluttershy. No longer an either/or situation, even the background characters were more balanced. Equestrian ponies aren't nice all the time, but they aren't mean-spirited either.

So I like Morrow's writing over Williams'. In fact, I think Morrow just became my favorite writer for this series.
