Thoughts on Putting your Hoof Down · 4:38am Apr 15th, 2021
This episode is one of my favorites in season 2 as we explore Fluttershy and her issues of being a doormat. This episode is something special for me anyways because I also suffer from being too submissive. Here we see Fluttershy struggling with trying not be so submissive that she let's others walk all over her. But also after she takes Iron Will's courses she becomes enraged and becomes over the top in being assertive. Overall I really liked this episode because it dealt with Fluttershy's submissiveness and tries to confront it in well thought out manner. Also I feel that Iron Will's courses weren't the only culprit in her becoming so aggressive. I know from personal experience that suppressing your emotions especially your anger only causes them to bottle up inside and can lead to very terrible outcomes. I'm glad that Fluttershy made some progress as a character and learned from her mistakes. I thought it was a very funny but also thoughtful episode.

I can't stop thinking that this episode and the Purge episode from Rick and Morty being rather similar in concept lol
I have to just say that I have a theory about Iron Will I don't know much about the writing process for this show. But he seems very similar to Satan from South Park in how they act. I don't know why maybe it's just me
