S1E15: Feeling Pinkie Keen
I'm not sure what to make of this episode. I'd say it's okay, but I don't know what to think of the lesson that was learned. Is it a good idea to tell children to just believe in things without questioning them? I feel like it isn't. But I guess things are different in Ponyland since you have magic and all sorts of things?
Also I think they overdid it with the cartoony clichés in this one. Those things that happened to Twilight began harmless, like falling down a small pit or a frog falling on her face, but it ends up with a fucking anvil and the classic piano landing directly on her head, which is kind of a overkill imo. Also Twilight getting hit by an opening door, and not only once, meh.
The climax is getting resolved with her bouncing off a bubble like that, which seems a bit lazy to me.
But maybe I'm just too critical, since it's a cartoon, it's a Pinkie episode, and they have magic, so "stupid" things are bound to happen?
The pacing seemed a bit off, a few scenes just seemed unnecessary.
Either way, the good stuff for me was of course Pinks, lotsa cute moments, I generally like the Pinkie sense per sé, but I feel like they didn't really use it much afterwards, which is a shame. I can remember 2 short instances, but maybe I'm missing something.
So, I don't know how to rate this to be honest, Pinks is absolutely cute³ in this one, but the episode itself is not exactly that good in my book.
I'll actually go with 7/15 honks here
