			Whilst I really, really do like MLP I have been a tad bored in recent episodes. Not because they were necessarily bad but whilst previous episodes would often take a wrench to tropes and I feel these recent ones have been a touch more cliché. The actual Flutterbat bit of bats were the most fun I have had so far, but the stuff in Bats that wasn't Flutterbat was painful to watch. Also, going to the Bristol Bronies meets has become a lot more painful, I was always 'the comic book girl' and after the Power Ponies episode everyone is like ''How could you not love that one! It's about superheros! That's your thing'' which is a method of thinking I really hate. *throws personal issues in air, walks off*

			I still adored Power Ponies. It was just a fun episode in and of itself.

			I agree. Though, I can see where she's coming from.

			Honestly, after fearing the worst for Princess Twilight, Season 4 has been smile after smile for me because it's not forcing the universe around her and her new found status.

			True. Though, I wish they did do a bit more with her new status as a Princess other than the opening two-parter (and probably closing two-parter).

			I don't want them to elevate her above her friends, but they could've had her pull some strings to get Rarity to her fashion show thingy sooner. I know that would've clashed with the moral. I guess what I'm saying is...I wish they would have her flex her princess muscle a tad more.

			I'm glad it's not. Twilight being a princess isn't changing the status quo or character. She still worries about books, not being a symbol. She still worries about common woes. She's very much like pre-wedding Cadance, actually. A Princess, but being one isn't her defining characteristic (Not sure if you read issues 11 and 12 of the comic).
