I think I know why people dislike this episode. I still enjoyed it, but I can see why people didn't like it. It was very different from the standard FiM episode. While most FiM episodes were either adventure, like A Dog and Pony Show. or slice of life, like Look Before You Sleep, this one felt like a mix of both, which made it confusing. Since when have we seen construction sites, dams, or babies like that in Ponyville? It is a cartoon, but it still seemed a bit out of place on the show. I don't think the portrayal of the characters was the only problem with this episode from what I've seen in reviews. A lot of the things in this episode just felt random, similar to Feeling Pinkie Keen, and they could have been done better. If this episode was on some other show that uses this style of comedy, it propably wouldn't be getting so much hate. Plus, there was hardly any character interaction that normally occurs on the show. While the superhero cliches were funny, they were still presented in an awkward manner that didn't appeal to many. While this wasn't a bad episode (I enjoyed it quite a bit), it didn't have the special charm that all the other episodes of this show have had, and that's what leads to people considering it the weakest of the show. Even the moral wasn't actually seen being written, which confused the heck out of people who were trying to figure out what his episode was supposed to accomplish.
