On such a benign image, too.

Never thought I’d type this, but…
 
tl;dr

Things I’d like to see in lieu of more Applejack:
 
Celestia episode  
Cadance character development episode  
Flash Sentry episode
 
Granted, I have a bias against Applejack (for pretty much all the reasons Itsthinking mentioned).

AJ needs more songs beside Apples to the core.

Good lord people!
 
Just be happy AJ is getting more screentime.

I usually read what I type before posting. I hope my grammar and spelling throughout this thread didn’t make me seem like too big of an idiot.

@supermanhulkjesus  
Well, okay then.

@PonyPon  
After Twilight realised that they were more than physical objects. which begs the question, why go after them at all. My point is that it’s a problem with the entire series and not just EQG.

@supermanhulkjesus  
But they actually gained them before using them.

@PonyPon  
They also didn’t have the elements when they faced Nightmare Moon.

@TenchiFreak5
 
And again, that falls down to bad writing more than anything else, but that’s the same issue plaguing MMC and Canterlot Wedding so it still can’t be discounted when that is what we have to make opinions about things.

@Battle GT  
@supermanhulkjesus
 
Canterlot Wedding certainly did a lot of damage to the show’s backstory and had its own problems (and I argued about them at the time, too), but it was at least a tightly paced and engaging story if you looked beyond that. That being said, I’m not really interested in arguing this, because I really don’t see anything coming of it. Agree to disagree, I suppose.

Or the implication is that anyone roughly analogous to the “real” Mane Six can wield the Elements of Harmony, but only Twilight can wield the Element of Magic since only she was sent to deal with the issue. Hence why it didn’t work right when Shimmer used it even though she could draw power from it; but the others could use theirs no problem.

@supermanhulkjesus  
You have a point, but they didn’t actually have the elements with them, barring Magic.
 
But I’m content to pin all that on bad writing.

@supermanhulkjesus  
The implication of Twilight’s human friends being able to wield the Elements is that the mane six being the Elements of Harmony is a constant through the multiverse.

@TenchiFreak5  
Thanks for clarifying.

@Grieffon
 
No. The first one means that I think whoever wrote the Tweet (because I can’t remember who. Larson?) did it for damage control because they expected the episode to be much better received then it was, but the 3-parter was always planned and most likely already written anyway (and MMC just did a really poor job at making that known by itself) and at most they will tweak them.  
The second one means that the Tweet was damage control, and the 3-parter was nothing more than an excuse made up on the spot and they are going to scramble to make the episodes and clumsily attach them to MMC (which in fact was self-contained).
 

 
The first one I believe to be the case. The second one I can understand if others believed, but I know wouldn’t be the case because of how much lead time cartoons have in production (among other things). Basically, I’m saying that the acknowledgement of those two other parts by the show staff don’t mean anything in regards to assuaging the various concerns (and may in fact exacerbate them), because they weren’t written in response to those concerns (for better or for worse).

@supermanhulkjesus  
Yes. Our Twilight’s Element.
 
In a world where things went differently, there’s no telling how fit non-pony twilight would have been for the Element.

@PonyPon  
When Sunset used it against Twilight it backfired because it was Twilight’s element.

@TenchiFreak5  
I think “Magical Mystery Cure” was a much better episode than “A Canterlot Wedding.”

@supermanhulkjesus  
Given that Sunset could use it, that’s not saying much.
 
And even though they acted the same, looked vaguely the same and had the same names, they’re still different people with different experiences and memories. They’re similar to Twilight’s friends, but they really aren’t.

@Deadpon3  
Still better than arguing about Twilicorn in Applejack episodes thread.

@PonyPon  
They were alternate version of the same people. Presumably Twilight’s alternate self could also wield the element of magic.
