Growing Up is Hard to Do. This is another good episode. I enjoyed seeing the CMC as adults and thought they were designed pretty well. Not over deigned or bland and generic. The plot was fine enough. The CMC saw adulthood as not something vested with responsibility but as something that granted them agency to do want they wanted, with a secondary lesson in maturity not always aligning with age in the case of Spur in her reluctance to taking Boofy to Appleloosa County Fair and with a little help taking control of the situation. Which is typical plot but it's the treat of seeing the CMC as adults and strength of the characters is all it whats puts this into good territory. I only have a slight critique with how the CMC acted, as they almost seemed too immature for their character development and this point but we have seen them bicker over the last couple of seasons in a still pretty childish manner so it's more of me slightly questioning it over saying their character's were disfigured beyond belief. Being Big is All it Takes was probably one of the stronger songs the CMC have had in the later seasons (but it still pales in comparison to Babs Seed!). 8.4/10 Other notes: I have some minor questions on the CMC ages after this episode, as I would think they had them sort of in tween territory with plots of their independence and changing interests from childish things. Yet here we see too lanky ponies behave in such a way that's still too young for all but an 13 year old yet say the CMC are younger then them (CMC = 9 10ish Spur and Biscuit = 11 13ish?) Not a big deal but it is something that has some small implications with this and the way the CMC acted being slightly more like younger kids than where I thought they had they implied the CMC had aged too. Twilight Sparkle doing a magical study for a friend? What it this season 2? Wishing flower is a small but cool element. Even if it never appears again it could still be fun to mess with in fiction. (Reminds me of the wishing plant from the obscure star wars ewokes cartoon, though obviously that probably had no influence on it), Sweetie Belle was extremely rude to herself!
