Alicorn Reviews: Fake It Til You Make It Review

A new edition of Pony Central is up as I will review a Fluttershy centered episode. To be honest, she is my least favorite Mane Six or HuMane Seven as her shy attitude never felt interesting. Even M.A. Larson made that point about Fluttershy never really evolving that much in "Fame and Misfortune" from Season 7. Most of the time she would just hang around in the background as the others got the attention. Of course, she did have some funny moments with a few interesting ones sprinkled in between. When she was able to act like a "vampire" that scared the Mane Six enough then I would consider that a defining moment. Fluttershy feels like a main character that is apart of an important group for the sake of it in most cases. It's like Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series and he's probably the only one out of Herminie and Harry that contributes less to them.   

Honestly, I don't know what else they could do for Fluttershy as we already went passed most of her flaws. She certainly has come far since the first season when Flutters was a simple shy character. That's basically some of the reasons I never found her all that interesting when Gen 4 started. It wasn't until the later seasons when the writers started exploring other areas they could take her. As for the theme of the episode, its about Rarity trying desperately to find someone to watch the store. It's because she has to attend a fashion show in Canterlot but no matter who she asked no one wanted to help. Rarity eventually comes to Fluttershy who agrees to help watch Saddle Row while she is away. However, Fluttershy feels a bit nervous and wonders if she could take care of the store by herself. Listening to Rarity's advice before leaving, Flutters takes her acting skills and tries to sell cloths for her friend's customers.
