* Meta example: In an even more impressive case of what "Luna Eclipsed" pulled off with Luna's canon personality, this episode had the unenviable task of going up against ''several years'' of fan theories about the Apple parents, from a fanbase notorious for hating anything that goes against their fanon. And it was instantly and near-unanimously hailed as not only the best episode of the season, but one of the crowning achievements of the entire show. "The Perfect Pear" currently stands at [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6240452/?ref_=tt_eps_rhs_0 a 9.8 out of 10 rating on IMDB]] and is the single highest-rated episode of the series; beating out "A Canterlot Wedding – Part 2", "The Return of Harmony – Part 2", and both parts of "Twilight's Kingdom" (all of which have 9.4).
** As of the end of season 8, "The Perfect Pear" has dropped to a 9.5 rating. It's still the highest-rated episode of the series.
* Another meta example: William Shatner, best known for a somewhat overdramatic Captain Kirk (among other roles), pulls off a severely understated and well-acted vocal performance as Grand Pear, managing to pull off both the younger arrogant rival of Granny Smith and the more sedate older pony trying to make amends. Some people didn't know that was him until the credits, and most are in agreement it was done fantastically.



* Perhaps meta: compare Rainbow Dash's reaction to Scootaloo's panicking about the cave to her reactions to Fluttershy's panicking in Season One episodes like "Dragonshy". While Season One Dash would have easily become irritated or exasperated at Fluttershy's panic getting in the way of her awesomeness, Dash here works to calm and comfort Scootaloo as best as she can and doesn't get irritated with her in the slightest while still being the awesome pony she is both in her actions and the legend she tells. ''That'' is some strong and thorough character development.



* A meta-example. Just like with the whoopee cushion fart joke in "28 Pranks Later", this episode breaks new slapstick grounds by showing something that practically ''never'' happens in western animation, let alone in ''My Little Pony'': a female character not only getting stung by a bee, but getting stung on the '''''butt!''''' And it happened not just once, [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2017/9/24/1543941.gif but twice!]] SlapstickKnowsNoGender indeed!

** This ends up turned back on her when she remembers just ''who'' she has done this to and gets the DeathGlare of the century from the two very annoyed princesses. Given Starlight's power level and past ControlFreak endeavours, this is the first time she realises she is BullyingTheDragon and is promptly ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck terrified]]''.

* Scootaloo getting to Cloudsdale by slingshooting herself all the way there, ''[[CrazyAwesome and succeeding.]]'' (Once she pulls herself over the {{Solid Cloud|s}} she got stuck in. Small price to pay for that kind of a feat.)

-->'''Fluttershy:''' ''[takes a breath and exhales]'' Listen up! I '''am''' more assertive now! And yes, it took me a while to get there, but [[RealityEnsues could]] ''[[RealityEnsues you]]'' [[RealityEnsues honestly say that you could learn something just one time and completely change who you are]]?!\\

* When Rainbow Dash is about to eat a giant repulsive "pie" she made herself to make up for all the pies she didn't eat, Pinkie Pie stops her. The moment of awesome kicks in when Pinkie Pie shows the maturity to admit that making Rainbow Dash eat a pie (especially [[LethalChef that one]]) for her sake is "[[RealityEnsues ridiculous and overly complicated]]".
