- Quotes
Twilight Sparkle: [singing] I never claimed to be perfect/My mistakes are all written in ink/None of us claimed to be perfect/And it's sad if that's what you all think/Our flaws helped to make us special/They bond us and keep us strong/Our flaws are what brought us together So stop actin' like something's wrong
Mane Six: We're not flawless/We're a work in progress/We've got dents and we've got quirks/But it's our flaws that make us work/Yeah, we're not flawless/We're a work in progress/So tell me what flaws you got, too/'Cause I still like what's flawed about you
Rainbow Dash: They say I'm a big shot/That my ego's the size of a whale/My confidence comes off as cocky/But it gives me the courage to fail
Rarity: Sure, I can be a drama queen/A bit stuck-up, it's true
Applejack: And I can be too eager to please/There's such thing as bein' too honest, too, 'cause
Mane Six: We're not flawless/We're a work in progress/We've got dents and we've got quirks/But it's our flaws that make us work/Yeah, we're not flawless/We're a work in progress/So tell me what flaws you got, too/'Cause I still like what's flawed about you
Pinkie Pie: Ponies think I'm all bubbles and laughter/That I don't seem sincere/I might joke around a little too much/But I'm just so happy you're here
Fluttershy: It took me a while to be confident/To really come out of my shell
Twilight Sparkle: But nopony has to be perfect/By now, don't you know us so well? Because, yeah
Mane Six: We're not flawless/We're a work in progress/We've got dents and we've got quirks/But it's our flaws that make us work/Yeah, we're not flawless/We're a work in progress/So tell me what flaws you got, too /'Cause I still like what's flawed about you

While I disagree that this episode is a total ruin and the series is dead ( tho I thought so with season 5 ), I must say that this episode is a very big disappointment, because with some more initiative and minor changes the show could be SO much better, I mean, A Royal Problem is an splendid episode, from time to time the writers have proved that they can make a memorable episode, of course, they've been failing in a lot of episodes too, incapable of capturing the show's first season's magic, they COULD learn from their mistakes, but instead of doing so, they would rather keep committing them, and this episode is that, the writers telling us that no matter how much we complain or obvious their bad writing becomes, they don't care and ain't gonna fix it, because now the show is being done only for little kids instead when Lauren was in it, and kids only like void morals delivered to them in pretty colors, so why make the effort ?. You guys can tell me that a series is ''4 kidz'' all you want, and that MLP doesn't need to be serious ( never said it should ), but don't come to tell me that the show is good when it contradicts itself out of pure laziness from the writers and it's episodes start looking like the simpsons where the characters never really grow or act out of character for plot's sake it's as good as when everyone loved it, because that's just a plain lie.
Oh and yes, Twilight was better before she have her wings and specially before the map, both things that show ultimately that the writers are getting lazy and unimaginative, so they found easier ways to do their jobs, instead working better.
This episode was ''good'', it was well made, but the moral of the episode is terrible, dropping the 8 it could have to a 3 to me.
And for the one who ''indirectly'' quoted my message about the ''true message of the authors''. You completely overlook the part where my critic is completely constructive here. Saying that the show shouldn't be made different despite CLEAR contradictions out of pure laziness it's not something positive. Just a thought for food. What I'm criticizing here is flanderization, lack of continuity, out of character, and other writing mistakes. If you think that a show is better when not actually trying to have quality on it's writing then that's another history, but don't tell me that a show with those mistakes is better than one without it.
