My Little Pony FiM is a well written show that is entertaining for audiences of all ages

Every good story requires protagonist(s) and an antagonist(s), the struggle between the two, with the protagonist usually being victorious. Generally, the stronger the conflict, the more interesting the story is. In My Little Pony(FiM), the conflict mostly occurs among the same few ponies every single episode as over 50% of the conflict is internal. For example in Ep2 of season 2, Twilight is seen as a brave friend fighting for friendship. In the next episode however, Twilight becomes desperate trying to submit her report on friendship to Princess Celestia that she began to CREATE problems just so she can fix them, proving that she has learned something about friendship. This episode can be seen as the turning point of the entire show. Throughout the entire season one, the audience sees Twilight as the strong protagonist and the leader of the legion of friendship. Little did that know that Twilight's primary motivation came not from friendship itself but from her devotion to Princess Celestia. In many episodes beforehand, Twilight has been noted to consider herself the special and faithful student of Princess Celestia. Although she seems quite normal in all of the previous episodes, her true self is shown in the episode "Lesson Zero" when she troubles her friends in order to prove to Princess Celestia that she has learned a lesson. Throughout the entire episode, her time is ticking down as her deadline to submit a report to Princess Celestia draws near. As the episode progresses, her demeanor beings to mirror that of a deprived drug addict as she goes crazy in order to order to obtain her drug(loyalty to Princess Celestia). At first she portrays the image of a beggar, looking for someone to help in order to document her knowledge of false friendship. As the episode progresses, she begins to become desperate and starts to create problems in order to solve them(similar to how a deprived drug addicts robs a bank). At the end of the episode when Princess Celestia comes to have a personal talk with Twilight, the first thing she confesses is her absence of a report, her duty as a student of Princess Celestia. She didn't even bother confessing to the fact that she casted the imperious curse on half of Ponyville. Only when Princess Celestia reassures her that she is not a bad student and only needs to write a report when necessary does Twilight "come to realization" that friendship is more important than anything else. In the end, the motive of Twilight is still questionable. A main character in every well written story requires a strong main character with well defined traits. The action and thoughts of the main character is usually not hidden from the audience as the viewer prefers to be omniscient. Therefore a weak character such as Twilight only goes to show that the characters have weak values and that the audience is unable to fully depend on a single character should a crisis ensue. With the lack of strong characters comes the lack of a strong main goal of the story and nothing for the audience to really look forward to. In the end, each episode of My Little Pony(FiM) becomes quite spontaneous and one could easily watch a random episode and understand most of what is going on. The events in the show have been clearly watered down for the the younger female audience who probably would not watch every single episode and would not retain everything they see even if they did. Basically, watching the show requires little to know thinking. Similarly, not much thought was put into writing the storyline of the show.
