A few days ago I've watched Pony Point of View. I'm really excited to talk about this. Not because it was really good or really bad. Overall it was average. I think the episode should have been funnier or more creative, like new islands. Imagine Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie on some islands trying to find the way to get back home, like in that Asterix comic, Asterix and he great crossing (one of my favourite stories of the french series).

The story is about Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack getting back home mad. Twilight wants to know why they're mad and they tell three different versions of the same story. Twilight and Spike say that Applejack doesn't sound like herself, they say the same thing about Rarity… But when Spike said that the story of Applejack doesn't sound like Pinkie Pie, I was a bit bothered.

There are details in her story like Pinkie Pie getting her tongue out like a dog. But in episodes like Spice up your life she smells some delicious food like a dog, like in Appejack's story. Pinkie Pie bandaged Applejack's eyes, but that sounds as random as her head turning into a disturbing balloon in the beginning of Simple Ways. Most expressions she made there were pretty similar to some faces she made in episodes like Party Pooped or The one where Pinkie Pie knows. When she acts like a very cheap dumb comic relief, she reminds me of that moment of The gift of the Maud Pie where Pinkie convinces herself that closed shop is still open, like she's not clever enough to realize that it's obviously closed.

Because of details like these, I don't buy the sentence said by Spike. "That doesn't sound like Pinkie Pie" is a giant and ironic cognitive dissonance. Spike says that this doesn't sound like Pinkie Pie, but there are many episodes where we've seen her exactly what Applejack described in her story. The sentence itself really fascinates me.

This is not exclusive for Pinkie Pie. There's an episode from the season 5 called Made in Manehattan where Applejack seems to have fear of crowds in a point of the show where, in her previous arrivals to that city, she wasn't even scared of crowds (Cutie Mark Chronicles and Rarity Takes Manehattan). But, to be fair, that's a nitpick for me, because the rest of the episode is really nice. The characters are likeable, the funny moments are funny, Coco Pommel returns to tell us a new and interesting story and it has a very good message, not only for kids, but for everyone. It's one of my 5 favourite episodes of the fifth season. This episode, however, doesn't have that passion, it doesn't have that story.

I think I'm not very affected by this (I know that I don't win anything by getting mad) because I know that it's very difficult to create a polished TV show with many seasons. It's very hard to get everything right. But there are some great kids shows nowadays that take care of these details. Gravity Falls and Steven Universe are great examples of this.

To be fair, it's not a bad episode. But I think it's a bit boring. I appreciate the moral of "old friends needs more communication", but I think you could have done an adventure episode or something very creative with this moral. Imagine a kingdom under water like from The little mermaid. That would be cool.

I know that some people will write that classic comment of "stop hate pinkie" or "you hate the show", like there's only black and white instead of tones of grey, like whether you like her or you hate her, like if you question it, you're a loser, like there's no debate. Look, if you like Pinkie Pie this way, that's perfectly cool. But don't say she's the same character as before. Like I've said, some people will call me "hater", but I think it's important to question some stories from many movies or TV shows. I like the video Doug Walker made about Big Hero 6 where he said that the story was very predictable and the dialogue was very forced, because he watched the movie in a different way that mainstream audience watched it. I still like Big Hero 6 (I watched it six times), but now I watch it with a different point of view. The movie Gladiator is an example that I come back over and over again, because, unlike mainstream audience, I don't think it's a good movie. But it's good to see an opposite point of view and then making comparisons occasionally.

Besides, I don't hate her or the show. I just don't like some decisions of the writers.

But I can understand that there's some people who enjoyed the episode, because it has some good intentions, so that's ok.

So, do you think that sentence is ironic or it fits to the story and the show? If you even have a different idea, please leave a comment.

PD: I have a spelling mistake with "canon". I should have written "cannon", but I'll edit it later.
