This seriously made me double take; I might possibly maybe potentially excuse Breezies being ugly as hell(I will get to this in a moment), given differences in ideals, but there is no way AppleJack would consider anything as cute as 'Apple Bloom on the day she was born'![]()

My dad always says stuff like that. After eating a meal at someone's house he'll say "That was the best meal I ever put in my mouth" or "That food was so good I almost cried." Regardless of how good it actually was. Every baby he sees is "the cutest baby I ever laid eyes on." AJ may be the Element of Honesty, but don't y'all take all that talk too literally.

The Doctor wrote:I think the strangest plot point was the magic portal that was going to close. Kind or not, the Breezie Kingdom was a nice place to live. Why would they risk not getting home at all to chill with Fluttershy? There was no reason for it, and the story would be no different without it, except for making more sense.

I wanted to get into motivations too and how they made no sense, but I forwent that. Rarity's motivation for the dress for example, was another thing I questioned. It just made no sense. Seabreeze you almost questioned why he wanted to get home at a point as well.
Fizzbuzz wrote:As I said to Wayoshi earlier, the rest of the Breezies had to deal with Sea Breeze being an asshole to them. Fluttershy offered them some refuge from this, and between that and how nice Ponyville seemed (nice enough to where he was willing to run off on his own, at least until he got stuck in that beehive), I can understand why they'd want to stay with her for a while. Sea Breeze was just the most concerned with getting himself and his people back home, but he didn't understand how to properly communicate with the others.

Mr. Big wrote:You know, one of the common complaints about season 2 (and 3, but 4th season started production before 3 even aired) was that there were too many episodes with just one or two ponies.
I wonder if this is why so many season 4 episodes have all 6 together, because too many people complained about season 2 having less group interactions. Of course, now we have many people complaining about all six being together even when they're not needed

Honestly, I feel like Breezies have had a hard time since they were announced almost purely because they have roots in G3, and lots of people are biased against that. I mean compare them to changelings. Both species are bug-themed ponies but while changelings are evil and spooky, breezies are delicate and traditionally "girly". Changelings were met with pretty much no complaint, but breezies are "creepy" and "G3 hellspawn". And because they're delicate and small they're "useless" and "badly designed, not worth saving". Bleh.

How did she put that on so fast?
