If the writers had a better idea of what Star Swirl’s spell actually was supposed to do, that’d also be nice.
I think it would have solved more or less all of its weaknesses, actually, assuming a spherical “Princess Twilight is just a story element and not Satan Incarnate” of uniform density; if that’s not a self-immolation switch for someone, the biggest problem with MMC is that it tried to do way too much in too short a time. My wife is a Musical Theater Person, and she called one of the big problems: the songs are good, but not great, and to tell that story in that short a time, the songs would have had to be nearly perfect. Maybe Joss Whedon could have done it– I still have trouble believing Once More, With Feeling was only an hour long, it feels like a full movie– but songs of MMC’s level needed more spoken exposition to support them than they could fit in 22 minutes (…six seconds, and sixteen frames). Cryin’ damn shame, really; it came so close, and is still plenty enjoyable anyway.
…Flantry as a love interest in the show, though, that would have ended in nightmares and horror. People are ill-behaved enough about MMC and Flash’s incidental appearance as it is.
Not if they’d taken that additional screen time and used it to shoehorn in a romantic subplot for no reason.
It’s my entire problem with Flash Sentry, really. I don’t dislike what little characterization he had or how he looked, as a human or a pony. He was just kinda… there.
But romantically there!
MMC as a two-parter could have solved a lot of its weaknesses.

Magical Mystery Cure a two-parter and Flash as a love interest
Right now I’m just trying to imagine what would have happened if Hasbro had made Magical Mystery Cure a two-parter and then added Flash as a love interest.
Man, that would’ve been a mess.
This is easily the best metaphor I’ve heard in a long time.
I’ve often found that the mere mention of Flash Sentry or Magical Mystery Cure in a comment section is the rhetorical equivalent to climbing into a moist, clammy time machine that smells like a clogged drain pan.
