I came into the fandom post-S4, and I can't stand the majority of episodes from the previous four seasons. I, for the most part, only like Season 5 and the EQG movies.
>>25526167
I actually prefer human vaginas on ponies rather than horse vaginas.
I think Equestria Girls is actually amazing up until the mane5 are all pals again.
>>25526167
Bronies React is quite funny and entertainingexcept Michelle Creber (and Black Griffon when she's around), who is really annoying, which is a shame because she could give really interesting points of views given the fact that she works in the show.
>>25527341
Hey, at least you watched them.
What are the exceptions? S5 episodes you don't like, S1-4 episodes you do like?

He's probably a Derpyfag, Vinylfag, Lyrafag or something similar.
>>25527509
Not him, but the CMC have been written especially well these past two seasons. If you give them a chance instead of moaning about how they're children and children are bad, they can easily be the best part of the show.

At last I truly understand. Never again shall I bitch about Twilicorn on /mlp/. At this point it's like casting pearls before swine.
That's fucking depressing to be honest families.
>>25527428
I didn't. I watched most of the premieres and finales of the first four seasons, as well as some of the more well-known episodes from the fandom...
I didn't like them, yet I decided to stick around to watch Season 5 in action...I like it quite a bit.

I think it was either the dialogue or the shoe-horned in predictable morals (or both) that made me dislike what I saw of the previous four seasons.
>>25527694
>for them it's just another "flavour of the week" cartoon
Not quite. I think about the show far too much than I honestly should. I am certainly hyped for the finale next week.
Also, while I don't mind Twilicorn, I do think they really wasted the potential to the point where her wings can just be ignored. The alicorns have been nerfed over the years, I see.

>I came into the fandom post-S4
I'm sorry
In my opinion, the best time to be in the fandom was during the first 3 seasons, mostly due to all the hype, fandom reactions, and discussion. I honestly feel sorry for people who joined after twilicorn. So much has changed over the years.
Inb4 fan of the fandom
>>25527694
Don't assume too much. I watched this show in order, I followed it as it aired from season 2 onward, and I still don't think all the whining about Twilicorn is justified. I really do think season 5 is the best the show's had so far, as well. Yes, Twilight's character has lost some relevance, but I attribute that to her lack of involvement during most of seasons 4 and 5, not to her alicorn status.
I like Twilight winged or wingless
FG was the best-written of the three movies, even surpassing a number of good episodes, and if it's true that Meghan and Larson won't be directly working on the show next season I would be completely okay with Haber getting the story editor gig.
I for one am glad we have /trash/ now. Not because I wanted a place to post porn, but because I believe this board is better off blue for the sake of discussion and content creation that isn't just dumping porn. Seriously, have you seen the pony threads over there? What isn't a circlejerking b& general is just image dumps with little to no discussion. At least now they're occupied with a place to do that shit in.
I think Spike as a character is one of the most consistently-written and I don't actually hate all of his episodes.
Season three wasn't nearly as bad as everyone bitches about, in fact it has a few of my top 15 episodes. Still the least best though.
I don't hate the comics. In fact, fuck just about everybody in the comics thread including the guy who dumps them for hopping on the hate bandwagon. The only two people I can consistently rely on giving rational level-headed reviews are Atticon and that guy who avatarfags with Transformers comic images. And Dan whenever he stops by to storytime.
I have an extreme dislike of bestialityfags, including one that I talk with frequently in IRC despite being on friendly terms with otherwise. This is a cartoon pony forum, not a place to brag about being a zoophile like a special snowflake. No this isn't moral indignation, I couldn't care less what tickles your pickle, but the topic at hand is MLP not 3dpd.
>Inb4 someone says I'm in the minority

I came in then, right around two weeks before Season 3 started. I'd say there was residual wonder and awe left then.
But after that was some rough times, for sure. LPU, Twilicorn, EQG, and a few other things.
I can understand the wonder, and the innocence. However, it's simply not tied to quality of the show. Everything get's stale over time, and things lose their magic. I get why people like the first seasons. Believe it or not, even though I wasn't there, I can still see it. That special thing that moved so many people. I get it. However, the quality did improve from season 1.
My personal take is it reached the peak in Season 2, dipped a bit in Season 3 due to various circumstances, then recovered - not to where it was in S2, but close - in Season 4 and 5.
Everything that happened in S1 was done better in the future at some point. The show did get objectively better after S1. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, though.
>>25527380
So much this.
>>25529516
nigga, this is an unpopular opinion thread
you shouldnt be posting opinions that are good and right
Anthro is perfectly acceptable.
>>25526167
I like the show, the movies, the fandom, and this board. I hate no ponies or episodes, although I like some better than others. I have faith in the show staff, and I hold no animosity towards Hasbro. I enjoy all six mane characters, and spike. I think that nobody's waifu is shit.
>>25529836
Fuck off FluttershyStay, Fluttershy
>>25529836
I'm a bit lukewarm on Spike and Fluttershy and there are some episodes I can't really enjoy, but there are no episodes or main characters that I actively hate. I enjoy EQG 2 and 3 but generally dislike 1. I think the show staff is a decent group of people, though the comic staff disappoints and frightens me in equal measure. I don't look down on anyone's choice of waifu- on the contrary, I find it interesting to see what makes people attracted to different characters. I do dislike anyone who tries to prove their waifu is better than all the others. I think some of Hasbro's decisions have been good ones, but they need to stop sending out C&Ds.
>>25527742
>I think it was either the dialogue or the shoe-horned in predictable morals (or both) that made me dislike what I saw of the previous four seasons.
Understandable. Honestly the show has changed too much, but I still like it. Implicit lessons are better, anyway.I dislike that S5 has so many new undeveloped new characters. I think they should develop the others more instead of adding more waifus and oneshot characters.

>>25526167
In regards to this recent event, Peter New did nothing wrong.
The S4 finale was fine and the people complaining about the fight segment by and large don't know what they're talking about.
>>25532791
>They are practically the norm here.
Then why are there so many shipping threads lately and people going "lol dumb mad waifufags XD" while nobody but me says anything about it? It feels more like I'm the odd one out being driven away now. Is everyone else just too scared of appearing "edgy" to tell them to get the fuck out?
>>25532375

>>25526167
I like Tracy, Aryanne, and Veronika unironically.
>>25532893
popular opinion desu
I'd say it was much more a Discord episode than it was Twilight's.
>>25532893
I thought the fight segment had little meaning seeing that nothing actually came of it. Tirek would have used her friends to draw her into giving up that power whether she fought or kept running.
The whole idea that Celestia told Twilight not to involve her friends after all the other problems they tackled together was also absolutely retarded, which leads me to my next opinion:
Luna and evne Cadence are better Princesses than Celestia
>>25533002
Not confronting Tirek at some point wasn't exactly an option, either.
I read the fanfiction compulsively but I don't even like the show, except for a handful of episodes from the first season.
>>25533039
Yet apparently that's what Celestia wanted in having her just hide and involve no one else. One way or another, whether she fought or hid, she'd have to make a choice when her friends were on the line.
>>25533087
Twilight Sparkle tried to hide. However, Tirek found her. Not sure what she was supposed to do, other than try and defend herself given that she couldn't reliably use her trademark teleportation.
>>25526167
I still think the whole tulpa thing is neat.
>>25526167

>>25526167
I think greentext is a load of shit, unadulterated crap, wholly. Can stand maybe 0.000001% of it.

>>25532893
> don't know what they're talking about.
How so?
>>25534080
The vast majority of complaints about the fight scene are that it bore too close of a resemblance to DBZ. Of course, none of the elements of that fight scene were exclusive to DBZ. In fact, as far as animated individual confrontations go, the only things missing from that fight were anything linking it to DBZ at all.
Peter New is a pussy and can hardly be called an actor
I think Lesson Zero is just as bad as Spike at Your Service
>>25526167
Season 2 is worse and more boring than season 3.
The fandom and the show went to shit when season 1 ended.
I wish Return of Harmony had aired back in May 2011 so everyone who loved season 1's subtlety would have seen what would happen if MLP was written by Hasbro Studios.
I am the only one left here who clearly dislikes season 2 and thinks the show went to shit in a steep fall.
Everyone else who shares my opinion is long gone or just chilling on /co/.
S1 was the best season, S2 and S4 were mostly shit, S3 is nowhere near as bad as everyone says it is
CMChronicles, Sonic Rainboom and Dragonshy are in the bottom ten of S1
Pinkie has been shit since S3 but the rot was there since S2
Applejack is best pony, Rarity is second best
Maud is shit
Most Spike episodes are good, even SAYS. Ironically the two that are well regarded, Secret of My Excess and Power Ponies, are two of my least favourite.
MMC and Crusaders of the Lost Mark are the exact same flawed but enjoyable episode and anyone who prefers the latter to the former is a hypocrite.
Celestia > Luna
All three EqG movies are shit, with the second being watchable but still bad (it still pains me to remember that this is now an unpopular opinion)
JJ is a bretty decent artist (dunno if people still shit on him here though)
Humanised ponies can be good
/mlp/ has been shit since 2013, I'm only here out of habit and rarely post anymoreoutside of MLPG

I used to enjoy the show and even the fandom somewhat. But then I went to my first con and that changed everything. I can barely watch the show now because all it does it remind me of the people who went to that con. I wish I never got on the ride at all.
>>25535996
Just think about the original demographic (pic related), how the show is first and foremost a land of magic and imagination with characters that little girls can be inspired by, and how you're just a quiet observer sitting in the back, watching it unfold. Forget the rest of the fandom.
>>25526167
I like MOST of the comics (the EqG special, Reflection and Cattle rustler arc can die in a fire)
And I find /mlp/'s crusade against Bobby and even Ted to be petty and boring at this point. Yeah the comics can be more "for" us but they can't go full grimdark and it has to stay soft, so I don't mind cliche plots and quick resolution as long as the characters are fine. Yet somtimes you can see a few psychos here are really butthurt and hateful toward the IDW crew.

Not that's an unpopular opinion.While I disagree with you about S2 being bad, I can agree that it was different from S1. The same thing is with seasons 4 and 5, to be honest, they just feel entirely different from the rest of the show.

Your opinions are turned so sharply against the common trend that it's hard for me not to suspect you instinctively pick the opposite of whatever you feel pressured to think. It appears that your enjoyment of things increases in direct proportion to how unpopular they are, and vice versa.

This
Hold me Rarara
I don't wanna go.
I liked Magical Mystery Cure. I do agree that it should have been a two-parter and given more depth, but the music and Twily's fluffy wings got me right in the heart.
Started watching the show in early 2012, starting with Season 1 and all the way throught.
I:
still think the show is great;
happy with every episode (save for S3 opener, which I think was still decent)
love MMC as an episode;
don't particulary care about the Twilicorn itself;
love EQG series;
think that the very first EQG were both an amazing gift to the community and a great work;
don't clop;
do not have a waifu;
don't have "best" and "worst" ponies;
don't like MLP porn (still ok with mildly lewd stuff);
don't think that Faust is the only God;
do think that Faust is a god;
love fanservice (pandering);
don't hate Flash (both of them);
That makes most of it.
>>25543186
>not backing your claims
Why did S1 have that magic, anon?
Was it the slapstick? The folksy songs? Ripping urban life a new one? Mostly self contained humor except for puns? More m6 character interactions? Twilight Spergle? Applejack actually having a farm rather than an orchard? Dialogue more suited to the speakers? The aura of mystery from the everfree? The simple morals and not biting off more than you can chew? The pony poses? More action and creatures and a lesser emphasis on SoL? That comfy feel? The lore not being contradicted by future episodes? The new car smell of the fandom including brony music and bandwagoners acting relatively normal? Spike being treated like a sidekick rather than a joke? Pinkie Pie doing silly stuff and sometimes that is what wins the day rather than being serious? Rainbow Dash being more of a prankster? Fluttershy's animals actually acting like animals? Rarity not forcing her element of generosity? More subplots that actually work? A more prevalent arc? All the fan theories being stirred up without being smashed in? Generic kids show premises having a twist at the end rather than being played straight?
>>25526167
I don't necessarily believe all of these, and the later seasons do their own thing with more complex morals and storytelling concepts, more daring and varied animation, mostly interesting villains, Tirek DBZ fight w/out being EoH'd, changing the formula every season, expanding the lore and characters (at the cost of consistency), and some interesting callouts.
Plus, S5 and a few episodes from prior seasons can have that rough S1 vibe if you don't think too hard about what was mentioned above.
>>25543920
It's not a bad show. It never was. It just feels diluted without enough being put back in. Especially with more and more freelancers who weren't part of the original team. Mind you, some of them can make a good episode like in Pinkie Apple Pie. That was some nice slapstick.
M.A. Larson did a good job leading the team which was why the first half of S5 seemed better.
I just wish that the community didn't splinter from Faust leaving, the S2 haitus influx, Twilicorn, The Scruffyning, rise of EqGfags, and /trash/. It seems all we have are the writefags, cyoafags and waifufags.
Honestly, even EqG had a few redeeming things. A few songs. Scilight's redemption. Nothing like The Raven or Les Miserables, but ok for a kids show.
Maybe the problem isn't the show. Maybe the problem is with board culture and how it segregates and stagnates with time. I come to a new board. Everyone's friendly. Then some vocal faggots and autistic newfags draw lines and fuck shit up. A year later and that comfy board is unrecognizable. It happened with double chin, it happened with mlpchan, and it's happened several times here. We just salvage what good times are left among the rubble.
But at the end of the day, I still enjoy the show, and you guys are my autism of choice.
God, I remember when we would deny being autistic and we'd keep our spaghetti in. Good times.
>>25543920
>Why did S1 have that magic, anon?
Probably that endearing childishness that it had. The characters pretty much act like children, especially early on, or like adults through a child's eyes. But at the same time it's not patronising or insulting because the world feels so sincere and real.
Also a lot of what you said too I guess.

> Maybe the problem isn't the show. Maybe the problem is with board culture and how it segregates and stagnates with time.
Underrated, and best bit of insight in the thread.
It's not the show, at it's core, it can't be. What do people think was going to happen even if Faust stayed? It would have stagnated eventually. All shows do, and this applies to any fandom as well.
Things have to progress. Characters have to change, and arcs must come to a close. Whether it's for the best or for the worse depends. But it has to happen.
>>25526167
>Nobody will remember this fandom
>It'll die for you like the others you were a part of.
i dont think the show itself has necessarily gotten 'worse' but more polarized. there are certainly more bad (and awful) episodes in S4 and S5 than S1 and S2 but the good episode (and great ones) are better. S3 seemed to be a weird hybrid of them both.
I think either S2 or S4 were the best, although the first half of S5 was phenomenal (if you dont count lost treasures of griffinstone), if that trend didn't dive bomb it would probably be my favorite season.
princess spike was in the better half of the spectrum of spike episodes
spike is my favorite character and, although i miss the clever quips and wry attitude in early seasons, still like what they've done with the character. he's authentic. he's realistic. he fucks up a lot but always seems to pull it all together. i think that people who are mad about him being a 'punching bag' just see too much of themselves in him
spike at your service still was awful
i miss whiny rarity
i miss wimpy fluttershy
i miss simpler applejack
i miss funny (and more authentic) rainbow dash
pinkie pie could die and i wouldnt care
i like about everything they've ever done with twilight
cadance is the most pointless character in the whole show
i don't think the S5 finale will have any shockers or intellectual, arc-like turns in the plot. nobody who's written for the show with that kind of depth still works there
i dont think faust is a 'god'. she created the premise of the show but others have been more than capable of carrying it on successfully. perhaps she kept things in check but it seems to me like she also held things back
my least favorite thing about the show is that characters dont develop into their success but achieve it in one episode, suddenly. a-la rarity got her shop. dash is on the wonderbolts. of course they've MENTIONED doing those things since the beginning of the show, but the lack of a consistent arc took all the fun out of seeing it finally happen
I think the whole thing will make it to AT LEAST S7
Everytime somebody says Season 5 is better than S3 and S4 I feel genuinely bad, as if I'm surrounded by actualy mental patients.
>>25546100But S3 is the worst.
I fucking hate the CMC's cutie marks.
I think that Them's Fighting Herds will become successful.
>>25527935
Then what fucker?
I think the whole no hooves or hooves division here is downright retarded. Especially the fuckers who say EqG should be kicked off here in earnest. Consider that most people give no fucks about if the character has hooves or not, most people see both as pony shit and treat it accordingly.
>>25545602
>where has it all gone
The show had to change, anon. It had to. Being truly cutsie and kiddy would've run its course quickly if the show stayed like that forever, so it got a bit more cynical and older S2 onwards. That's not a knock on the later stuff, just an acknowledgement of the fact that tone-wise, S1 was different from most of what came after.
