Well, that sure was one long
consistent lovely relationship they had from Sisterhooves Social to Somepony To Watch Over Me (40 episodes. About 6 to 8 eps being Apple family or AJ-AB related episodes of which as you guess it, they don't really have any family or sibling rivalry)
But I get you, I just think they were too consistent after Sisterhooves Social. Intersperse a few sibling rivalry episodes in S2 and onwards and I probably would be satisfied if not pleased.
Though I will admit that I do prefer seeing the typical sibling rivalry in shows, movies, cartoons, whatever which is weird because
I do not get along with my siblings (well, older sis, yes we get along but she's not with me anymore so I'm stuck with the she-devil that is my little sister...). Maybe because I relate to the characters and their rivalries...? That said, I do enjoy seeing moments when they eventually have their sweet moments together when they stop fighting so it's not like all I want to see is just fighting exclusively. Throw in some tender moments, y'know.
It's kinda why I'm disappointed that they just took a shortcut from S1 to S2. Seeing them 'struggle' with one another yet slowly learning to love each other (like the alternate Sisterhooves Social suggestion I made) probably would have been more sweet and touching for me.
The fact is, though, that didn't happen and I'm sure there's a handful of fans and viewers who like how perfe- I mean, how non-cliched or how their sibling relationship didn't conform to common tropes in most of media so to each their own, I guess,
Edit: why is it annoying to type an episodes name??
... Touchpad
Plus it may just be me but the title is still pretty long. Five separate words and even the abbreviations look wonky and confusing hence I try to type the whole name out.Edit: Yeah, what ROBOT B9 said.
