What moral based episode should they touch on next?

[DarligPegasi 315]

Okay so during the show they've dealt with, being ashamed of your friends/family, judging a book by its cover, being stubborn, peer pressure, stealing, greed, jealousy, not being yourself, anger issues etc. So what morals/lessons do you think they should touch on next?

 

I think they should do one where someone jumps to conclusions.

 

Or one of the 'boy who cried wolf' things.

 

I also think they should do an attention grabber type of episode. Like somepony keeps trying to get everyone to focus on them and it winds up backfiring on them.

 

Also, a wild animal episode, where one of the CMC finds and bonds with a wild animal (Like a badger or a wolverine) and she wants to keep it but it doesn't belong in captivity so she needs to learn to let it go.

 

Also maybe an episode where an odd foal moves to town or (you know like Twist, was there the whole time but is only revealed when the time is right. O.O) anyway, one of the CMC (or all of them) become friends with that foal, but no one else in class likes them because they act odd. So then so that they aren't ostracized, the CMC start ignoring the foal in public but play with them in private.

I had an idea for a simple "be yourself" episode that addresses how some fans refer to Applejack as a "background pony." In the episode, Applejack herself realizes that some see her as "boring" compared to her friends and tries to change herself to be "more interesting."

'You can make new friends without abandoning your old friends.' - Pinkie Pie might be too easy on this one, and with Rainbow Dash it might be too close, yet opposite of, the Gilda episode. So... Fluttershy, maybe?

 

'Romance doesn't have to be toxic.' - I can see this one with Applejack, as the most 'stable' member of the group. It would be a case of all her friends going nuts over it, but Applejack demonstrating that you can have a relationship without destroying your life or changing who you are. I know I'm going to get flak over this, but I honestly think that we need more examples of *good* relationships in media, rather than the automatically toxic ones that are presented now-a-days, so that kids already have good models to follow when they're ready.

 

'Want and Need are two different things.' - I think Rainbow Dash would carry this one well.

If it wasn't for the soccer moms that complained about Derpy, I would say having a episode centered around her would be a good moral. It would teach kids the moral of acceptance and would show that just because some people may look different, that does not mean they are ugly, or useless. With how many children that grow up and become racist toward those that look or have some disability, a moral like that is something we need more of. So really I would like to see a moral like the one I've described, whether they use Derpy or some other pony.

I would like to see a walk a mile in someone elses shoes episodes, yeah the season 3 finale was kinda like that but not really, would like to see rarity doing farm work and twilight doing what pinky does and so on, cab get 6 letters to celestia in one episode

I would want the Mane 6 to teach the background ponies lessons on how they are able to maintain their lives without stress distracting them from doing their duties.

I would like to see another version of the "A Friend in Deed" episode, where Fluttershy helps to some pony using her kindness.

I think we can still have an episode like that maybe not about Derpy specifically because of the unfortunate case of butthurt with her speaking role but Scootaloo might be a good candidate. Scootaloo is a pegasus but can't really seem to fly and Lauren Faust has said that she originally intended this to be because Scootaloo is disabled. It is likely that other pegasi her age might make fun of her for this as Fluttershy didn't have as much trouble flying but we have clearly seen in some flashbacks that she was still made fun of with chants of "Fluttershy, Fluttershy can't hardly fly".

''Yeah'' I still wish we could have used Derpy  but at least my fears of her being taken out entirely has been abolished, because Megan stated that she would still see the same treatment that she gets now (which having her as a background pony is better than nothing).Still I hope we get to finally see her parents.

How about an episode where not everyone gets what they deserve,whether they did good or bad? (This is an oversimplified version of my idea,but I would be happy to elaborate.)

They probably won't do this,though,considering it may be a bit more mature than the show's demographic.

I think there's Enough bulling episodes to kill someone so no more of that.I Think another episode like "Keep Calm and Flutter On" would be nice, not with another baddie though
