>Lower your expectations guys!
>We're only in it for the money
>All the episodes so far are the best episodes in their categories of premieres, Maud Pie, CMC, and Spike episodes respectively
Are the writers confirmed to be humble to a fault?
>>27109389
Yes, it's the writer's fault!
>>27109389
Why would you have high expections for a little kids show?
>>27109433
Here we have the TL:DR of the whole of /mlp/.
>>27109438
Why wouldn't you?
>>27109452
It's not supposed to be for adults , and the only adults who should be watching is when they're watching their kid enjoy their ponies
>>27109389
I would say this was all part of his master plan, acting like a jerk and lowering everybody's exceptions so when the episode airs, they would expect garbage, thus making even the most boring, mediocre episode good, but this would imply Haber is smart
Lower expectations = Episodes appear to be better
>>27109484
All of season 6 has been lower than 5/10. The show is dead. It used to be epic, but now it's dead.
>>27109471
People like you make me chuckle. Parents spend hours ranting on about feeding their kids junkfood being bad for their bodies yet these same people have no problem with feeding their kids minds junk art to turn them into sociopathic, maladjusted and bigoted fuck nuts.
So yes, you should have high expectations of children's TV as it is shaping the minds of the next generation and if you give them shit they will become shit.
>>27109494
Where are you pulling these ratings out of? Your ass?
>>27109494
It's not the show that changed, it's you who got bored.
>>27109494
>muh season 1&2
please do kill self
>>27109500
they're not meant to appeal to you, you're not the audience.
also quit rambling nonsense you neckbeard, you can't talk down to me
>>27109500
This.
TV has both a HUGE cultural and psychological impact. All laughter aside, do you know just how many kids actually gain / discover their fetishes through TV as a medium?
Shit like Zootopia is fueling a future generation of furries.
General question: It is theorized that fetishes come from childhood fears, is that applicable to you?
>>27109552
What a shit rebuttal.
>>27109551
Season 1 was pure. Season 2 was the last good season.
>>27109389
It's a win win strategy. If it's shit, they warned you and can have a believable opinion later. If it's good, either lowered expectations makes it seem better or it was just something they posted for fun.
>>27109572
>>27109500
Samefag
MLP is not doing anything wrong for children, chucklecuck. They're not twisting minds. All I'm saying is that MLP is not for you.
>>27109578
>>27109552
If you troll any harder you'll break something...
>>27109595
Not samefag, but whatever.
Faust has stated that she intended the show to appeal to adults who also watched the show with their children. It's really not a surprise that that element makes it appeal to just adults too.
>>27109595
He can't rebutt my statement so he tries to change the original question and throw around baseless accusations.
Get off the internet fool, your embarrassing yourself.
>>27109601
I've already broken 2 (actually one) bronies (brony) just because the truth hurts
>>27109618
Hasbro targets it for little kids regardless of what Faust says
>>27109624
Adults shouldn't have high expectations of childrens television, it's doing what it does fine for children
You're the one embarassing yourself, brony
>>27109618
Oh wow she included little jokes so the adults can laugh with their children
Still not targeted towards adults
>>27109669
Nah but >>27109552 said appeal. There's a difference.
>>27109644
>I'm a Brony.
I did a degree in film and television and take all media seriously, My Little Pony is just one children's show I follow for its exceptional quality.
>it's doing what it does fine for children
What by teaching them that women should use their sexuality to manipulate men like in Secret of My Excess, or that if your friends embarrass you then you should blank them and ostracize them like in Canterlot Wedding or maybe that if your friend is getting a big head you should publicly humiliate them like in Mare Do Well.
The show is good but it could do better and if we don't expect the best from it the writers won't bother trying to strive to meet our expectation.
>>27109452
There're high expectations and higher than that. It's not a race to reach the ceiling.
I for one always love it when people in the fandom insist that the audiences should follow the show's themes of friendship and harmony to the letter. It speaks plenty of the autism and/or the chips in these people's shoulders when they unironically base their morals on assembly-line consumer products, even one financed by a toy company with the explict underlying intention to sell those toys.
If the show is good on its own, okay, but let's never forget it's mercenary entertainment, not Antisthenes giving out a lecture at the Cynosarges.

They're not wrong.

YES I DO GOD DAMMIT, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS IS A HUGE STEAMING HUNK OF VILE, SOCIOPATHIC, LAZY DOG SHIT AND I'M SICK TO THE BACK TEETH OF NICK FUNNELING MONEY OUT OF QUALITY SHOWS TO BRING US MORE OF THE RETARDED SPONGE.
Phew...nice to get that off my chest.

I'm pretty sure he's just shitposting
>>27109823
mr enter get off 4chan you psycho
adding this to the cringe gallery
>>27109389
>The gift of Maud Pie
I dont think it was better than Maud Pie, but it was decent. The best part of it was mostly that we've got character interaction that was extremely under-utilized from earlier seasons (Rarity+Pinkie).
>The Crystalling
Utter shit. The only thing that makes this passable was Glimmer's interactions with the other characters
>Gauntlet of Fire
It was better than your usual Spike episode, but when you're at the bottom, you can only really go up.
>Implying that CMC episode was better than Crusaders of the Lost Mark
>>27109831
>adding this to the cringe gallery
You have a whole gallery devoted to cringe?
Thats the most cringy thing I've ever heard.

Quit trying to make yourself feel better you cringy fuck
>>27109861
>>27109873
That's my jizz, you freak
>>27109823
After like four seasons spongebob got really shitty
They're still doing that crap?
>>27109875
You cry jizz? well I supposed that's normal for a dick head.
>>27109894
you seem to cry whenever someone points out how cringeworthy you are
>>27109894
REKT
>>27109882
Oh yes, yes they are and they keep pulling other shows off the air to give it more, and more, and fucking more air time. *Sigh*
>>27109902
Still on that? Its like your some cringe obsessed weirdo that has to go to the length of building a gallery devoted to everyone else's failings just to make himself feel superior. But that couldn't be true could it?
Please respond, I've got time to kill.

I do have my expectations that low. And yet they still can't manage to be better than that.
Here's a tip: Whenever a tweet opens with "I'm serious, you guys," chances are the guy isn't actually being serious

>>27109572
Can confirm. I got my watersports fetish from watching a kid's show claymation penguin piss themselves.
>>27110508
I'll give you Best Maud and Best Spikeeven if the former ruined one of my shitty greentext ideas
>Best Premiere

Which one was the best, then? Do tell.

Are you from Bizarro world? What else happens there? Is Starlight actually a good character?
>>27109572
>It is theorized that fetishes come from childhood fears, is that applicable to you?I have a weight gain/stuffing fetish, but in reality I have a fear of being fat. Though I'm not sure it always applied. I had a fear of being eaten alive as a kid, yet I still want nothing to do with vore.

I wonder what that was

Cutie Map blows it out of the water man. Crystalling was barely better than Crystal Empire
>Best Spike Episode
It's a good one I'll give you that but Secret of My Excess and Just for Sidekicks are still better episodes.
>2nd Best CMC Episode
I would rank it in the top 5 but not the top 3
>>27110508

laughing_mares.tiff
>Best Maud Pie Episode
We've only had two where she was the focus. Hearthbreakers was more about the rest of Ponk's family, and she was incidental in Make New Friends But Keep Discord.
>2nd Best CMC Episode
Maybe. It was probably one of the better ones, at least.
>Best Spike Episode
No question.
So far it's between "eh" and "great," which is about where S04 was. I am sure we'll have some breezie-type episodes to bring it down, too.
>>27110508
>Best Premiere
No.
>2nd Best CMC Episode
It was an AB episode, not a CMC episode, so no.
I agree with the other things, tho.
>>27109552
When faust created fim, she intended for it to be enjoyable for the girls AND their parents. So the older demographic wasn't just ignored with a "FUCK YOU THIS ISN'T FOR YOU", they were accounted for
>>27110854
Thats not the funniest bit; he was so buttmad he made a whole separate threat to shit post in and call me a cringey 40 year old bald autistic.

Eh, I may take children animation way more seriously than other people but to be honest as above I feel that's irresponsibility on their part not obsession on mine.
I don't let what I like define who I am and any assumptions they make about me based purely on what I watch have so far been woefully inaccurate.

Well, okay then Mr. Brony. If you say so.
