What do you expect, she hasn’t done anything remotely related to rocks in years, some of that strength is bound to have disappeared

@Background Pony #7DC7  
I agree

@PonyPon  
Oh. Well, she was still technically picking fruit and then she says “I don’t care much for picking fruit.”

@Background is Best Pony  
No, in SSCS she just caught the apples.

Remember in the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000? Didn’t Pinkie climb up quite tree and shake the apples down? She could have done that.  
Also, in MMC she offended the Apple Family when she might be related to them.

Doubt there’s any muscle on her thanks to that sugar-only diet.

>Bruce Lee probably couldn’t kick an apple out of a tree that wasn’t about to fall anyways
 
Just to clarify, I’m not trying to be dismissive. It’s just that, while a valid observation, there are PLENTY of reasons why Pinkie might not have been able to buck apples out of trees. Hell, she can barely BUCK a tree in the first place without flailing like a parking lot tube dude.

@Background Pony  
Yeah, I’m also beginning to think Pinkie’s “power” is affected by her mood.

Her powers affected by happiness?

Muscle atrophy, man!

Maybe it has to do with technique more than anything else? Ala, how some of the better power lifters are smaller than some of the largest?  
Like maybe Pinkie only uses her strength to LIFT and not KICK. Cuz she certainly has some powerful fore-legs to be hoisting up all the random crap she carries around. She carried that welcome wagon with no effort. The cannon too.
 
 
@Background Pony  
oooh, yea like that.

@Trickquestion  
definitely one of its shining moments of dumbness.

And here we go…
 
…actually, I have nothing to say here, apart from this:
 
People’s criticisms of the episode, for the most part, are reasonable enough from what I’ve seen. Them saying that it was rushed, enforced from the powers-that-be, or discombobulated made it a weak episode, I have no issue with. I personally thought it was an okay episode, and for what it was trying to do, it did reasonably well given the time restraints.
 
What I do take exception to is people proclaiming that this is the ruination of the series. Why? Because we’ve heard that every-fucking-time that a major change happens. First it was Faust leaving, then it was no E/I logo, then Williams becoming a writer, then the derpy fiasco, then the wedding episode, and then alicorn twilight…

Did anyone else notice Pinkies mane gets really cute when she’s sad?

Pushing a small, fist sized rock around doesn’t compare to literally kicking a tree hard enough everything falls out of it.
 
I could push those rocks around with my big toe and certainly couldn’t buck a tree.

If AJ lived on a rock farm she’d be kicking those rocks to the other end of the field, not nose-pushing them along.

@InvaderSplooge  
i remember, those times were called the 90s, but if the internet existed in full power back i bet there would have been fun-killer-overanalysing like now.

Remember when T.V. shows like this were something people would watch just to wind-down and have a fun time watching without getting worked up though the ceiling about every little thing?
 
Me neither. ME. NEITHER!

 
People are actually nitpicking over this inconsequential thing.

@CronoM
 
whatever im sick of him doing nothing but bitching about the goddamn episode in every fucking sentence. you too are an annoying goddamin twat
 
you don’t know real shit and are just nitpickig, it’s pathetic

@gg666  
Go back to elementary school if you want to turn your brain off to its most basic level.
 
Smart people are capable and well within their right to critique SHIT. Magical Mystery Cure was fully loaded with that, so much so that you could tear every line apart of how little sense it made.
 
If you want to not hear bitching, go turn your brain off, and go to elementary school.
 
The adults are talking.
 
Critiquing is legit and is NEVER going away when shit appears.

Look at Michael Jordan. One of the top basketball players for years. But when he retired and tried baseball, he wasn’t good at it. He was still the same athlete, but didn’t have the right skills.

Pinkie may have left the rock farm precisely because she didn’t want to be a farmer. Then, in a moment of confusion, she’s working a farm again. And not even the kind she knows. It’s no wonder she was bad at it.

It’s technique, not strength. Pinkie never seemed to hit them right.

@bboifatz
 
just go to /mlp/ already if you wanna bitch nonstop

@Trickquestion  
That’s how I feel about the whole episode. There were so many things in it that didn’t make sense, and rather than go back to the drawing board they just shoehorned it all into 20 minutes.
 
And I don’t buy the “it’s just a kids’ show” excuse, either. The reason this show got big with adults is because it was good enough to hold up to adult standards, and now the people who desperately defend it are saying that we should lower our standards to what Hasbro thinks the target audience’s should be.
