So if Season 6 becomes crap, will the comics be good again?

But the comics were always shit, we just didn't see it first.

>implying
There was less obvious references in their earlier work. Plus they didn't go on fucking tangents about romance and tried (and failed) to stand their ground against Twilicorn.

Even if it was shit, it had to be less shit than what it is now.

Nightmare Rarity was what? The second arc? It was by far one of the worst, wih horrible ooc, really goddamn stupid world building, and shitty, forced romance shit.

The worst thing is that this is supposed to be after RR when she proved herself to the entire fucking school and especially the EQG M6 counterparts.

Yet they toss her aside like trash, reconnect with her at the drop of a hat and she apparently lives in the school for years.
>>
>>26849673
To be fair, the rarity is also garbage, not because she's tempted or whatever, but because her issue is that she has no confidence? Rarity has an ego the size of Canterlot castle. I guess nightmare Applejack or nightmare Rainbow Dash just didn't look hot enough, but it wasn't worth thinking of a fault in Rarity's actual character and instead just going with the one problem she'd never have.

I like this because id like to believe the EQG doppelgängers are all terrible people and Sunset should just go home.
>>
>>26849679

Inb4 The M5 and the whole school only pretend to like sunset when twilight is in the EQG academy

Sunset real life in EQG is a fucking hell.

Just like that group of friends that only pretend to like you because you're friend of the most popular girl in the school

Nightmarity was horrible, and cemented that the comics would never be good.

How can you argue it was a good arc, when the show handles the same idea infinitely better?
>>
>>26850380
I think for want of a nail was good.
>>
>>26849595
>They are less obvious with references in their early work
>Less obvious
It was pretty fucking obvious that Rarity became Nightmarity because of a pony version of that Gravity Falls character.
>>
>>26849723
The other issue with Rarity was like the one page turnaround where she goes back to normal, and they act like nothing happened, and she isn't even phased by what happened.
>>
>>26849433
>FIM was bad
>Comic are bad
Nope.
>>
>>26849679
This is the one thing I've actually hated about the comic. Applejack and Co. not trusting Sunset and then straight up forgiving another. I'da forgiven them too, but I wouldn't have made Sunset cry on the floor.
>>
>>26849433
i don't get the image. Is it just you saying that she shouldn't live by the statements she made because her using magic would have helped?
>>
>>26849433
>When MLP became good again
Good one OP I needed a laugh.
>>
>>26849659
This.
The problem with this arc wasn't Rarity, it was the fact that it ruin Luna's story.
"I'm only bad because I have become possessed by the force of evil against my will" is shit tier fiction.
>>
>I don't like it because Luna wasn't responsible for her actions
I don't get this. She was still guilty of feeling envy toward her sister, hence why it was able to slowly influence her.
Besides that, making it entirely her fault for going full coup for not getting the same attention paints her even edgier than DPDOMS did with her self-inflicted "muh guilt" nightmares.
Ultimately, it's a fantasy-lite universe and the involvement of a fantasy being is much more interesting than if it was just "Queen Angst is upset nopony understands her".
>>
>>26849433
Nah, that's just correlation. It couldn't...
>Shining/Blueblood FF was actually really good
...fuck. S6 is screwed.
>>
>>26851175
FF generally is meh to oddly good.

Last main series comic however was pretty bleh.
>>
The comics were never good, nor have Season 4 and 5 been. They're just not as utterly bad as S3. But my no mean are they good.

I didn't think it was good (though by their normal standards it was a masterpiece) but I was greatly impressed that Blueblood wasn't just written as "evil woman hater" as I was expectinh Whitely to.

>>26851225
Around Season 4, so yes.

Dude, Rarity is always looking for validation. You tell her her work sucks, she breaks down. We've had multiple episodes that deal with this.

Goddamn did I hate this comic. First they turn the CMC into a bunch of petty sociopaths, and then turn around and have everyone forgive them in the end because they were "sorry" when they were about to be exposed. Just what the hell.

Yes they were stupid statements to make that made no sense
And then she proceded to act in absolutely deplorable ways later in the comic

Well, scuuse me princess.

According to here, not fagquestiradaily, S3 is the worst, and S5 is better that S2 and even S1, but that's an other question really.
So, if you go 4,2,0,3,5,
you go 'good', 'not bad', 'snip and snail', 'quite', 'better'.
Or, in other word, "good again".

>>
>>26853311
The fuck are you smoking faggot? Your own image puts 1/2 in the lead, just proving that 5 is slightly less shit than 3 and 4, which I doubt anyone will dispute.


The show has gotten worse and everyone knows it. S5 wasn't as bad as it could have been but we're never getting the real magic back. Never.
>>
>>26853339
S1 'average' : 5000
Let's take this as the 'norm' for good and shit stuff.
(stuff rounded at 125, because I'm a lazy piece o'shit)


S1 : 58% good
average : 5000
under 5000 : 11
over 5000 : 15
lowest : 1750
best : 7000
spread : narrow - contained


S2 : 46% good
average : 4750
under 5000 : 14
over 5000 : 12
lowest : 1500
best : 8000
spread : contained - spreaded


S3: 15% good
average : 3500
under 5000 : 11
over 5000 : 2
lowest : 1000
best : 5750
spread : contained


S4 : 31% good
average : 4250
under 5000 : 18
over 5000 : 8
lowest : 1500
best : 7000
spread : spreaded


S5 : 46% good
average : 4750
under 5000 : 14
over 5000 : 12
lowest : 1000
best : 7500
spread : spreaded


So, yes, the show is not as good as it used to be. and you will almost never be able to recreate the magic of the first season
But, the show really become 'good again' according to this.
Not as good, but good.

But the narrow in goodness of S1 is unbeatable...
>>
>>26849442
The first arc is fun.
>>
M2>S5>M3>S4>S2>S1>M1=S3

S3 and M1 are by no means bad. Love 'em.

WHY DO YOU ENCAPSULATE AS PERFECT OR SHIT THIS "before and post season 2" RATHER THAN THE STANDALONE SEASON
WHY LISA WHY!?

Looking back, I think one of S1's biggest flaws was forcing Twilight in episodes she had really no business being in the first place. Show Stoppers and Fall Weather Friends sorta come to mind.
