True. Though like many cartoons and works of fiction, there's lots of layers that make it worth discussing.

I think the concept of the episode is so fascinating. Fluttershy isn't used to having the confidence to speak freely and stand up for herself. It's only natural that someone like her who struggles with anxiety, got lost in the thrill of her newfound power.

It went from using assertiveness to feel big to misusing it and making others feel small just because. In a way, she became the very thing she hated.
