>At least she has the best friendship lesson, she didn't learn anything and was right all along
Thing is though, that's not even unique to her. All the mane 6 had an episode like that, in fact, they had MORE episodes like that, it's just that she's the only one who directly stated it. Pinkie Pie had Feeling Pinkie Keen and Swarm of the Century, Rarity had Suited for Success and A Dog and Pony Show, Fluttershy has Dragonshy and Stare Master. Applejack pretty much only has SSCS6000 as an episode where the moral is "Applejack is right and people should listen to her". But the thing about that is, they had villains in the form of the Flim Flam brothers, where as the other episodes I listed had other members of the mane 6 doubting the pony in question, and it was the mane 6 who learned the lesson. Applejack is basically only allowed to be right and teach a lesson when it's a villain of the week, but if she's pitted against someone else in the mane 6(I.E, Bats!, LBYS, FWF, ETC.) it's basically always as I described -- either they're both in the wrong, or it's just Applejack. There's never an episode where the rest of the mane 6 causes unnecessary trouble because they didn't listen to or trust in Applejack's judgement, and everyone suffers for it.
>she's already too "perfect" and more mature than the rest of the 6 so she doesn't have much to learn
With all the stuff I've read from various waifufags in the archive over the years, I'm pretty sure this argument was always just a cope. When people say she's "too perfect", I find that what they're really saying, more often than not, is that she doesn't just act like a bitch all the time. Applejack loses more than any other pony in the show, to say that she's too perfect when she fails in literally all but 1 of her episodes is asinine. The too perfect complaint really feels like it just comes from anons trying to cope with their own favorite ponies being a lot more unpleasant in terms of personality, and trying to justify it as them being more interesting.
I feel like a lot of people on this board just have an incredibly simple minded view on what 'flaws' are, and think if a character doesn't act like a jerk all the time, it means they aren't flawed.
