This was the most recent episode I saw, and I really hated it. How much? Let's look at SpongeBob, because of how varied the levels it can screw up are. There are tolerable episodes like Karate Island or Fungus Among Us, and episodes that I'm questioning why it was made, like Someone's in the Kitchen With Sandy or Pet Sitter Pat. Where does it land? Smack-Dab on Artist Unknown. Wait, isn't that a good episode? NOT IN MY OPINION. So yeah, it's bad. Time to evaluate.
The episode stars with Fluttershy feeding her animals, but Angel demands a salad instead. Him slapping Flutters is probably the most violent scene in the show. As a pushover, she gets the ingredients, but out of nowhere a hundred assholes show up and do what a lot of people would do, and it's uncomfortable. Not to mention the last episode had the smile song. Rarity and Pinkie show up and show her some methods of persuasion. Pinkie's lines were just comedy gold, and I wish that they'd be in a better episode. Eventually, after being kicked out of her house, she resorts to going to a lecture by Iron Will, and teaching the wrong lessons. He's not the only one to blame though. Fluttershy takes his quote to the next level into "don't apologize when you can penalize". I'll admit she's A LITTLE in the right the first three times, but for the element of Kindness, this is extremely out if character. And also none of the original assholes get thier commeupance I know all of the Mane 6 have broken thier element at some point but those times it was still true to it in a way, like in "The Last Roundup" AJ used logical loopholes when lying. And then comes the worst part. Fluttershy heavily insults her friend's REASON FOR LIVING!!! I don't know what to say about that. She DOES regret it, though. Iron Will comes to collect payment but then she firmly says no, due to dissatisfaction. He accepts, but I think it happened a little too quickly. And the moral at the end was decent, but I have no idea when she actually performed it herself.
Current Grade: 0/10 Worst Episode so far.
