So you know what this episode reminds me of? This reminds me of "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show" episode of The Simpsons! Specifically, this infamous exchange between Bart and Comic Book Guy, where the writers attempted to speak through Bart:


 * Comic Book Guy: Last night's Itchy & Scratchy was, by far, the worst. episode. EVER! Rest assured, I was on the internet within minutes sharing my disgust with the rest of the world!
 * Bart: Look, I know it wasn't great, but what right does that give you to complain?
 * Comic Book Guy: As a loyal viewer, I feel like they owe me.
 * Bart: What?! They've given you thousands of hours of entertainment for free! What could they possibly owe you? I mean, if anything, you owe them!
 * [beat]
 * Comic Book Guy: Worst episode ever.

This reminded me so much of when all those ponies confronted Fluttershy for not evolving after everything she's learned. And both exchanges have failed to make their point.
