Literally every point made in defense of it is the reason it's bad.

"It has communication unlike MMDW" - it handles the communication even worse than MMDW because the Mane 5 contribute to the problem by egging her on and talking about Fluttershy less like a friend and more like a "lazy" pony to prank.

"All of Rainbow's pranks were super harmful and bad and she got her comeuppance" - over half of them were entirely harmless and actually pretty clever/funny. One of them is literally a prank that they laughed at in an episode beforehand but for some reason are mad at in this one. There were pranks that were less clever that were laughed at in previous episodes, too. The only pranks that I can say she deserved a firm talking to over were the first one, the skunk one, and the brick one.

"The zombie sequences were amazingly choreographed and an amazing homage" - no they werent lmao. I don't have a strong defense for my point here they just. Aren't that amazing. The zombie thing was an excuse for the episode to exist and honestly I'd rather they just never did a zombie scene at all.

it's just...when you look at anything in the episode you'll find something else wrong with it.

Also, the exact line according to transcript:

"Rainbow Dash: No, no! Stay away! They're making you sick! You don't want these!"

I've hated it since day one. It is an episode that is extremely unfun.

@Kyoshi Same, but the first time I began to watch it I actually quit midway through the episode because I was already not liking the direction it was going in. It was just today I decided to give it more of a chance.

If anything, giving it more of a chance made me dislike it even more because I found more things about it that were...upsetting. Such as the pointed out fact that the episode itself makes it really clear Rainbow's fear is not out of something for her own life, like a jumpscare in a horror film, but out of guilt that she irrevocably changed her friends.
