This is pretty much the reason why I hated Babs Seed with a fiery passion when I was 11 years old. It really didn't help I wasn't a forgiving person. Seriously, she would need at least a small punishment like doing extra chores or make Babs do something in the ending like repair or fix the float the CMC made to make it up for them and end the episode with all 4 of them riding the float. Her bullying was far, far worse and more psychical than both Diamond Tiara's and Sliver Spoon's combined!I actually BADLY WANTED Babs to fall in the mud instead of the CMC. I don't hate her anymore like that but I still believe she could have gotten any punishment at all or have her make it up for the CMC.
Hearts & Hooves Day
Maybe the only change I'd do is make Big Mac and Cheerlie a more believable shipping. Many people complain that the CMC just randomly put the two of them together out of the blue and they only fell in love because of the love potion. I would change it like leave CheeriMac shippers some actual moments between Mac and Cheerlie when they didn't drank the potion to leave some possibility between them for the shippers but not make them cannon to leave for the shipper's and audience's imagination and for creative stuff. Like fan fiction or whatever. At least give them some chemistry without making it full length cannon.
Also, maybe remove the sappy love talk they do. I have no problem with it, but that's the problem with this episode everyone hates so much. I like it because it actually works as a gag for this episode and for a joke. It works so well that it's funny and that's it's good. But if I were to remove it, it would be only because so much people have a problem with it.
Magical Mystery Cure
Changes:
-Make more episodes before this one and save this episode for a season finale so season 3 isn't so short and the most boring season.
-Make all the other episodes before this one FORESHADOW Twilight more of becoming a alicorn.
-Don't make the whole thing into a full-length musical. All the songs are good, don't get me wrong. But due to this, it's a pretty short episode. I would still keep every song however but not play them right after another one is finished or a short scene with no singing.
-Make the episode longer and the non-song parts more interesting and longer as well. Due to how short of a musical and episode it is, the episode isn't in much ways very impacting of Twilight being a alicorn.
I completely agree. The whole episode felt cliched. The typical setup of a alternate universe where the main characters are suddenly superheroes and have random powers... Been there, done that! And the cliche internal conflict of being the sidekick who barely does anything. Yeah yeah, Robin ditched Batman because of that. We've seen that way long before. The "climax" was too predictable that it was super uncanny. Also, Fluttershy being angry over the fly getting injured... I just felt it was super stupid. Sure, it's KINDA in Fluttershy's character like in DragonShy (though DragonShy is much better, mind you.) But it felt stupid too.
A change I would make for that, to stay on topic as well, is that I'd make the Maneiac injury the Mane Six instead of the fly and make Fluttershy start off as the same level of anger as in DragonShy but she becomes more and more angry to the point she becomes FlutterHulk. It would have worked better in my opinion and keep her in better character.
Speaking of the Maneiac. Her character design is cool and she seems interesting a bit and all, but other than that, she was kinda a "meh" character.
As for the ponies' powers, I do quite agree. Though they're kinda funny references. XD

Agreed with all of these. Nothing I can say about these episodes now.
Although Twilight is considered the main character and all and SHE is the one Trixie considers her rival so Trixie would rather seek revenge on Twilight and forcing the plot having to dependent on Twilight, I prefer your idea. Could have been interetsting to see Rarity stand up for Twilight and finding herself having to duel with Trixie. Not to mention good character development for Rarity.
Rarity Takes Manehattan:
NOT make Rarity get very angry at her friends and not push them to helping with designing the outfits. All that did was bring hate to Rarity from the fandom. :/
Instead have Rarity design the outfits herself and have Rarity insist the other Mane Six that she's doing fine and can make it all by herself. She doesn't want to be rude to her friends or let her generosity get the best of her so she plans to do the outfits herself rather than generally accepting her friends' help.
That Rarity wants to win fair and square and confirm that she doesn't want her friends to worry about her and that she'll be fine. Then Coco Pommel comes and offers help. But Rarity insists but Coco in secret goes to Suri Polomare and does something to Suri's outfits.
(Preferable she destorys that B-words's outfits and then straight up go up to her saying that she quits and Suri is covered in coffee in shock from Coco quitting just standing there dumbstruck like this awesome picture:
)
And/OR then Rarity in the end decides to quit designing the outfits and sleeps, tomorrow morning she will tell the judges she'll quit and the Mane Six by surprise finish all her outfits for her and making the outfits ACTUALLY look like amazing stunning outfits rather than how they looked in the actual episode with the hotel items like the soap or whatever. Seriously, they looked pretty silly on the pony models so I'd rather they wear something actually stunning.
Spike At Your Service:
Have the ending be like this:
