Several people have said this so far but to me this seems so bizarro. I loved the Pie family.
It would have been easy to make them all variations of Maud, but instead each was established with their own quirks and you can see how their family dynamic works. They even found time to give them individual moments of nuance. Mom & dad's story of how they got married started weird and turned cute. Limestone's attitide is because she basically runs the farm on her own and has no time for your shenanigans. Maud had that bit with Applebloom where she talked about wanting to turn into something else. Even Pinkie had that realistic family dynamic thing going on when Limestone yells at her for climbing the boulder and she gets down while muttering "all right all right, yeesh."
Loved this ep so much![]()
Yeah, I agree with all this. The Pies had the feeling of a family that, while not as functional as Applejack's immediate family, was still all used to each other and still worked with each other anyway. I really appreciate that sort of realness in my cartoon horse show.
