Talk:Putting Your Hoof Down/@comment-27578467-20160314004449

Looking through the comments it seems the biggest problem people have here is how poorly Fluttershy is treated considering her heroic actions and kind behavior in the series thus far. To me this is overlooking one of Fluttershy's main traits - shyness. I think it's pretty well established that she doesn't casually talk to many of the other ponies in Ponyville, so it makes sense if she's unrecognized by random other characters, and that those characters would be more concerned with their own sitatuions - cutting in line, selling at a high price, being lazy about turning off the watering hose, etc. Honestly this is one of my favorite episodes, the way they handled Fluttershy's overblown hubris was well done and they picked the right characters - Pinkie Pie and Rarity - to ornament it.
