>still getting used to the fact that this show actaully tries to pull stuff like this, even if badly.
you won´t hear this on /mlp/ too much because one repeats the same comments over and over. However, one thing that I´ve got admire from the show is that it didn´t stay too much in its comfort zone. While we were still getting that slice of life throughout the entire series after all, there have been some really risky moves that you wouldn´t have expected from this show. One mentions for example the 100th episode at going insane in terms of fanservice or the DBZ laser fight in Twilight´s Kingdom as the most obvious examples to pick out there, yet both season 5 two parters took another step beyond FiM´s usual nature.

A few skeptical fans have called this jumping over the shark but the show kept going with those changes and it became more or less something that you would expect from it. If the fanbase had seen for example, The Ending of the End or The Cutie Map in the early seasons, it would have gone nuts because that would be like the most unexpected thing to come out from a little girls show. After getting used to it and having a few years in its track record, you can expect a few elements of adventure and or action dropped every now and then, even presented in a mundane manner as if it´s not a big deal for the characters.
