Simple Ways is a really interesting MLP episode for me,
because I didn’t have much of an idea of what to expect from it going in, and
didn’t think it would hit me hard, but looking at it now, wow did it surprise me
and hit me hard. All I knew beforehand was that it would be an episode about
relationships, something the show has stayed away from for the most part, and
something I think many fans preferred to stay that way. So when I heard there
would be an episode about not just relationships and crushes, but with a bit of
a love triangle, I must admit, I was a little scared and uncertain, not knowing
what to expect. But the more I thought about this episode, and what it did with
its themes and morals, the more I found myself falling head over heels in love
with this episode, and for this analysis, I shall explain why, and speak of
the conclusions I reached.
