Talk:The Perfect Pear/@comment-5808856-20170627221700

Just finished watching it again, and I still can not understand why this episode is so popular. As I said before, this is note for note just the story of Romeo and Juliet, just with ponies. If it was a lesser done story I wou;d not have minded so much. That's why I let Lion King slide despite just being Hamlet with lions. This however, it is just the billionth telling of a tired story that was not that interesting to begin with. If it did something to make itself stand out from other tellings of the story I would cut it a break, like I do with Lion King II, since Zira is just so much fun. But Perfect Pear has nothing I can't get out of any other telling of Romeo and Juliet. The episode had a few good moments, like the tree at the end, and the relationship being genuine, but the story is just so cliched and has nothing to help it stand out. I want to like this episode, but I just can not get past this being the billionth or so retelling of a overdone story.

It's not a 'bad' episode, just the single most 'meh' episode the show has made.
