S5E17 Brotherhooves Social
I never saw this one. Honestly, it was more towards that "eh" scale for me again. It just didn't feel like a lot stood out to me, especially comparing it to Sisterhooves Social. Especially with that last act of the obstacle coarse itself. First off, the intense desire to win it seemed to be slightly out of place, as it seemed like everyone was well aware of the the point of the Social was not to win, it was sisterly bonding. And comparing that last rush through the obstacle coarse from this episode with Sisterhooves, the bonding is just much more evident in the latter, especially with the tone and music. And Apple Bloom having such an intense obsession of Applejack didn't strike me as quite normal either. If it did anything good, at least it gave Apple Bloom some bonding with Big Mac. All in all though, it was a bit eh for me and didn't strike me in some areas. Perhaps because I was comparing it too much to the original, which I feel is a fantastic one.
