Talk:The Mysterious Mare Do Well/@comment-108.17.153.132-20130422041653

This is the worst episode of season 2 and by far, the worst episode of the entire series. All the potential this episode had is completely wasted thanks to the sheer amount of OOC by the Mane 6 and a horribly taught moral.

Where do Twilight and the others get off for "teaching"(I use that term VERY loosly) Rainbow a lesson about not boasting and bragging? They are guilty of doing the same thing as well. The prime example is Rarity's actions in Sonic Rainboom. Throughout almost the entire episode, she's bragging and boasting about her wings. So why didn't she get a good visit from Mare Do Well? Applejack went on about being able to handle Applebucking Season all by herself, like as if she was the best about doing it. Again, where's Mare Do Well to "teach her a lesson"? Fluttershy even acts a little boastful about how she was more than capable of handling looking over the CMC in her cottage. So why didn't Mare Do Well come by? And the list just goes on and on. This is what seriously bugs me about this episode, along with other things, Twilight and the others all act like complete hypocrites and contradict themselves.

If this entire episode was about Gilda coming for revenge against Rainbow Dash for what happened and stealing her thunder as the town's hero, this would've worked. That's not what we see here at all though. There is no "mystery" as to who MDW is since we automatically know who it is by the time Rainbow Dash celebrates at Sugarcube Corner and we see the disgruntled looks of the other Mane 6. Nopony is acting rational at all in this episode. They all act cruel, mean, and rather hateful. They act nothing like the ponies we came to know and love before. The only character that stays the same is Spike, who even then gets little screen time in this episode. Even he knew to stay away from this mess as much as possible.

I have heard that on TV Tropes, the MLP Team HATE to talk about this episode. They don't want to talk about it since they know how many hate this episode. If it's true, then I hope they've learned their lesson by not doing something like this at all. To this day, this stands as my most hated episode of MLP: FiM and I hope to never see another episode like this EVER AGAIN.
