let me start out by saying that i haven't been keeping up to date with that newest episodes. my interesset has kinda dwindled. i finde it more fascinating, and sometimes disturbing, to see what the fanbase comes up with. i am just saying this so you know what my reference points are.

but to as answer to what you were talking about, that you wanted an episode where the main six understand the mening of their elemets througn their failings. such an episode has already been made. The Cutie Mark Chronicles s1 e23. where we hear the stories about how that earned their marks,a dn what heartships they had to overcome and what lessons they had to learn.

i do understand where you are comming from though. you wanna see a more serious take on it all. but keeping in tone with the show, i dont think that is gonna happen. not hat you can't tale stories like that i cartoons, just look at the legend og korra, or Pixars UP for that matter. but i don't think it would happen i mlp fim.
