Do you think the mane 6 will be a bit more consistent in Season 4?

The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

I know a lot of people don’t like how they were handled in season 2 and 3, they didn’t really hold consistency between episodes of learning their lessons (Applejack, especially). A lot of motivations don’t make sense and some things feel thrown in (magical mystery cure, even though I liked it).
 
What I’m trying to say is, will the writers actually nail the personalities down, keep that personality consistent, and actually introduce none rehashed plots/lessons for them? Or maybe, make more “adventure” type episodes which was sorely lacking in season 2 and 3, instead of dedicating them to one character’s drama or CMC messing everything up.
 
Hope my thread makes sense. I tried rewriting it 3 times but couldn’t go into detail about anything because it’s been so long since i watched the show, I just want to know what people think about what Season 4 should focus on.

The proper way to do this thing is to do what creative people often do: make shit up.
 
How this helps is that when one conflict is exhausted you create a new one.

The only one who I think has an issue with inconsistency is Rarity. The others are fairly consistent, too consistent imo.

I should say, for clarification, that I think the phenom I described is a fairly recent development that only seems to plague her when the episode is not about her.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, so I honestly can’t say they will or won’t be more “consistent,” whatever that means.

Build commie blocks!
I understand where you’re coming from OP, and although I don’t necessarily agree with you (in that I think most of the meandering was down in S2, and not S3 per se), I hope that there is more general consistency in S4.
 
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t want the characters as they stand to become static characters. I want them to evolve consistently and believably as new challenges and conflicts arise.
