Talk:Parental Glideance/@comment-4531340-20180203122603

This was an episode that I felt that, while it was good, it could've been great with a little more nuance. I mean, I understand why Scootaloo reacts the way she does (and that was a nice little confirmation about Scootaloo's home situation that was expanded upon in that one book or whatever), but I don't think the episode was right to kind of imply that Rainbow Dash was wholly in the wrong for her response to her parents (while obviously she was wrong for snapping at them, there is such a thing as being too supportive - such as when it becomes damaging in and of itself - their antics throughout the middle portion of the episode are prime examples). Like, I would've liked the message a lot more if, rather than just being "parental support is always a good thing", there would've been "but it should definitely be tempered by common sense, particularly in instances where it does more harm than good". Or something along those lines.
