Despite the episode having a nice moral at the end, I still find Bow hothoof's and Windy Whistles' behavior to be a serious issue. While I am aware of the fact that parents do sometimes embarrass their kids even when they don't mean to, the problem here is that the way they did it was a little extreme. I mean seriously, launching fireworks at one of their shows which would have most likely thrown off their concentration, cheering for Rainbow Dash after she lost a race, and celebrating every single thing she did gives me the impression that the two of them need to see a specialist. I think it would have been a lot better if they had learned a lesson at the end as well, and that is to not go overboard with the whole cheering and praising.

The storyline for the episode was pretty boring in my opinion. It was too sappy, there wasn't much of a conflict, and it seemed like the writer had misinterpreted at what exactly a sanctuary is. It also seemed like the only reason that Fluttershy even built one was so that the animals could stop freeloading at Dr. Fauna's place.

I think what might be the worst comic in the IDW series is comic #40, aka, the story of how Twilight and Spike first met. The reason why I consider this to be a bad storyline is because most of it involves child abuse, and that can be a very serious thing. It seemed like it was trying to present itself as something humorous but doesn't really do a good job because all I can see is a young filly suffering from exhaustion, mostly due to lack of sleep. Some may have considered this to be Twilight's fault since she took up the responsibility of taking care of Spike, but Twilight was very young back then and like most other ponies she was probably afraid of disappointing Celestia if she had said no. The reason for why the princess gave Twilight this task doesn't really help either, because a baby wouldn't really be suitable as a friend or companion.

As much as I enjoyed the humor in "Pony Point of View", the part where they found out what knocked their boat over didn't really make much sense, because how can a creature that big be able to swim through waters that shallow, as well as make the ship sink down to the bottom when it's not even deep. I think what they could have done is make it that the incident took place somewhere at sea like it was shown in their flashbacks, and by the time the three of them submerged a crusty old sailor spots them and offers a lift back to shore. Along the way though they have to listen to his long and boring stories about his adventures on the high seas.

S07:E01+02 - Celestial Advice/All Bottled Up
Discordrules123 replied to Ashen Pathfinder's topic in Season 7 Discussion
I thought the season 7 premiere was okay for the most part. Some of the humor that was involved was pretty enjoying, like Twilight's visions of where she would sent Starlight to, as well as the flashback where Celestia was nervous about sending Twilight off somewhere. The downside though is that there wasn't really much to the episode's storyline, probably because most of the season premieres and finales would have the characters going on some kind of adventure. It is understandable that they would only be able to fit that kind of storyline into a two part special though. -

While the episode "A Hearth's Warming Tale" did have some problems in its storyline, I think the biggest one is what the third spirit told Snow Frost. Unless I'm mistaken it seemed like the only reason they celebrate the holiday was so that they could keep the Windigos at bay, which makes me imagine the ponies being more concerned with the possibility of freezing to death and not being able to fully enjoy the holiday. Some might have considered this to be associated with "A Hearth's Warming Eve" where the characters heard the Windigos howling in the episode's end, but I think that was just put there for comedy's sake.

An idea for "Dragon Quest"

I think one of the things they could have done is make it that for each test Garble puts Spike through, something bad happens to the former instead of the latter. Kind of like the episode "I'm Your Biggest Fanatic" from SpongeBob Squarepants. It's not very original but the idea of seeing Garble and his goons get hurt just seems to good to pass up.

The Crystal Empire's name
Discordrules123 replied to Discordrules123's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
It does seem to have a pretty big role in Equestria, as well as having a nice design to it. Maybe if Sombra managed to have his way and that the city had expanded all over Equestria then the name would be able to fit it a lot more. But since none of that happened in the original timeline then I can't really see the characters refer to it as the "Crystal Empire". Besides the name though I don't really have much of a problem with it, unless you count the crystal ponies that live there. Their appearance is a little confusing and I keep getting the impression that they might break easily. -

Fluttershy being scared on Nightmare Night
Discordrules123 replied to Discordrules123's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Those do sound like other good reasons, especially the cloak being made out of bats. Although I do have concerns with the idea of a holiday being based off of what Princess Luna used to be as well as being portrayed as a foal gobbling monster. One particular reviewer whose name I can't remember at the moment mentioned in his review for the episode that since Celestia still cared very much for her sister (even when she became the wicked mare of darkness), then she would have prevented the holiday from being made. Maybe it would have been better if they didn't make the holiday based on Nightmare Moon or anybody. It can still be called Nightmare Night but it would be more similar to Halloween in modern times, which is based off of nothing.
