He's been a complete brat in several other episodes. I don't think you can use "poorly written" as an excuse, since Angel's largest roles almost always show him behaving badly. I really didn't like Rarity's behaviour in Sweet and Elite, but I'm not going to dismiss it as being "poorly written" because Rarity was more of a jerk then she usually is. Angel's behaviour has been more nasty then it has been nice (I can only think of him being nice in one or two episodes) and unlike Opal, he doesn't have the excuse of occasional mistreatment from Rarity and the other ponies. I don't see Angel getting thrown up a tree, getting dunked in a bathtub, having his favourite toys taken away from him. If Hurricane Fluttershy is anything to go by, they are probably trying to tone him down a lot, considering how he has treated Fluttershy in several episodes rubbed viewers the wrong way, myself included.
