Watch it if you want, don't if you don't.

Just pick an episode and see if you like it. Make your own decisions instead of letting others do it for you. It will take less time than coming here and making this thread.

>what are the worst things about the show
The worst thing about the show in my opinion is Hasbro's blatant and forced product placement which began after MMC.

Yes, there were just as much pp during S1-S3, but it was so well incorporated into the storyline you couldn't even think the reason some things exist was because of Hasbro's meddling. Ffs, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo exist solely because Hasbro wanted to sell more toys.

And now... it's just blatantly forced girly shit which doesn't make any sense or looks out of place

Was that so hard? I mean, you could've just started the thread with 'Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting into the show again, is it still good?' instead of 'HEY GUYS I DON'T WATCH THE SHOW ANYMORE TELL ME HOW BAD IT IS'
Now go and watch the damn show and form your opinion of it instead of basing it on the opinions of random anonymous people on a Taiwanese paper printing site.

You dense motherfucker. You can know what happens next.

You can watch the show.

A serious answer.

The overly rushed endings and reformations. The songs can be annoying and at times are shoehorned in for little reason other than "let's have a song!". The mane six overall learn the same lessons with minor variations in-between. It took the show four seasons to have an even slightly overbearing season-wise arc. Due to its nature, it's hard to.balance the slife of life style with the season finale/openers more action-packed feel. Characters get different treatments depending on the writer (all shows suffer from this). The show is slowly trying to grow its second beard but it's doing it five seasons in. The fact that Equestria Girls currently does not coincide with the main show and, depending on your point of view, either inhibits the show's lore potential or saves it.

And of course, certain parts of its fanbase.

Shit man, I don't even watch this show and I can tell you that.

- Twilight gets an ugly castle.
- The CMCs get ugly cutie marks.
- There's an ugly pony named Sunset Glimmer or something like that who's been getting posted a lot recently.

I think that about covers it.

It is very clear you are looking for reasons to justify whether to watch or not watch the show.

The music is god awful, I mean ear-splittingly intolerable.
The characters are all fairly shallow and what little development they have lasts for at best 5 minutes. Granted, they were at least somewhat likeable in earlier seasons, but now that Twilight is accidentally Patrick Bateman/Light Yagami/Hitler, not so much.
There's practically no overarching plot. It's a very episodic show. This could be considered positive or negative, but I myself don't like it.
Speaking of plot, the plot lines in each episode are excessively simple and kind of generic.
The character designs, in particular non-pony characters and background characters, are often EYE-BLEEDING UNHOLY MONSTROSITIES FROM HELL.
The morals are shallow at best and at worst horribly illogical.
Darker concepts have a tendency of being toned down for younger viewers, which honestly I don't think is a good thing even for those younger viewers.
>>
>>25935037

The memefest and pandering of the whole episode 100
>>
>>25935561
Those are all symptoms of children's shows, but I agree.
>>
>>25935561
Literally all those complaints bar the Twilight one can be leveled at the whole show, not just the later seasons.
>>
>>25935578
The one about Twilight was the only one directed at exclusively the later seasons.
>>
>>25935561
>Darker concepts have a tendency of being toned down for younger viewers
Have to disagree with you here. This is a show about magical talking ponies, dark and edgy themes in it would look out of place at best or just plain silly and autistic at worst.
Sombra's timeline from S5 finale is the prime example of that.
>>
>>25935646
I know what you mean.
>>
>>25935654
You got what you wanted OP.
Now get the fuck out and watch the damned show.
>>
>>25935646
The Sombra timeline was great.

Are you a "cute ponies doing cute things" fag or something? So the show can have no more?

You should have just created one thread for both. That would be good for at least three things. You wouldn't be killing two threads, you wouldn't have given off the impression that you only asked to justify not being a fan anymore, and there could be cross discussion for things that some consider great and others consider trash.

>>
>>25935037
I guess for me the worst part of the show is some of the rather juvenile themes, and sometimes strange dialogue decisions, be it the actual delivery or the lines chosen.

All in all it's much less apparent now-a-days than it used to be, like back in season one. Obviously it's a little kids show, what do you expect, but still, it's rather jarring.
