I honestly felt this episode had Pinkie be more than a bit out of character. Unreasonably, even insanely depressed over not being good at something she loves? Sure, that makes sense for her. But abandoning everything she loves: her friends, her home, her job, her possessions, her life's purpose as a party pony, all over not being able to play an instrument well? It seemed way too extreme, especially when we were never given any justification for why the instrument made her so happy.



Not to mention the moral felt really off. Yes, its fine to do things you love even if you aren't good at them, but the actual issue was that Pinkie was disturbing and even damaging things around her with her incessant bad playing, and they acted in the end like that was never a problem. It would have been better to just nicely ask her to not play around others when they're trying to concentrate, sleep, do work, etc.



Sad Pinkie is cute regardless of course.
