They should do a episode about Shining Armor feeling envy of his sister and wife and daughter.

[AlicornSpell 149]

I feel like they should a episode about Shining Armor being jealous of Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance and Flurry Heart because of them being Alicorns while he's not one.

I'll be honest.. That would make no sense from any perspective of the character....

Jealous no...

 

Inadequacy maybe...

 

He does not strike me as the Jealous type from the perspective of being Jealous of what people have...

That would likely be a wasted opportunity to address familial envy and generally unrealistic. Think about it ... what is a better way to approach envy considering their family makeup? What would be more realistic?

Indeed.

The ideal of him just being Jealous of them being Alicorns would make him seam like (Well actually be) A pretty massive jerk.

There are other things they could do.

 

Like Cadence is getting to see Twilight more then he is. (She does seam to be) Something to that effect, something that seams reasonable without making him seam petty.

We really have waaaaay too many of these jealous episodes on the show! XD We need some characters who aren't the jealous type, and Shining, he's one of them!

I was talking about how most parents deal with envy at lost time. Even young kids go through this since they have not yet developed a sense of true permanence and time referencing. Could be felt by Shining, Cadance, and/or Flurry.

Wouldnt really make any sense.

[Babyyoshi309 1,829]

Yeah, that would never work... 

[Bricks_Ahoy 860]

As other users above me have mentioned, Shining Armour doesn't seem to be too green-eyed. So, this episode wouldn't be too realistic.

I do want to see a Shining Armor episode, but NOT like this.

What? He want to be equal to his family?! Plot twistttttttt!!! 

He could find The Shadow to grant his wish, all he needs is listening.

Or he could ask Celestia to grant his wish, he will take any challenge.

Or he just need eat Flurry Heart to be immortal.

For seriousness, i think it will be a character derailment for Shinning Armor.

As everyone has said, it doesn't fit a character like Shining Armor. Besides, we've already had an inferiority complex episode with Big Mac.

[BlueStreak98 828]

I think it would be interesting to explore, and from several fanfics I've seen there's definitely enough basis for it. But you'd have to be careful not to just rehash episodes that have already happened, and with Brotherhooves and such I don't see an easy way to do it.

 This is not how a father/husband/bb feels about these sorts of things.

I for one would like an episode focused on him and the redshirt guard in a positive way.

It would be nice to see him get to save the day for once

I totally get where you're coming from and I wouldn't be against it, but I'd prefer a get-to-know-them slice episode about interesting named ponies in royal guard and their interactions with Shining. I'm just a little tired of the so-called "villains" getting defeated left and right without any satisfying buildup. Same ol' machinations, same ol' motives. It has become as repetitive as casting couch. FIM villains just can't raise my interest anymore.
