Am I the only one who found the last episode boring as fuck? You knew pretty much what was going to happen the whole time, since it was a retelling of a classic story, and the Christmas theme just seemed out of place to me. On top of all that, the songs started to get on my nerves after awhile. Probably my least favorite episode so far this season, besides maybe the equally predictable Pinkie Pie / Maude episode.
I agree. Why was there a christmas episode during SUMMER? What the fuck?
It wasn't that bad actually, I personally hate slice of life episodes since they take too much away from the adventure episodes that made S1 good. But I enjoyed it.
Wanted to see what spin they'd use for Christmas Yet to Come since in the original it involved death.

We get a musical episode every season, but I was disappointed they didn't come up with an original story. Songs were good though, especially Luna's song. I honestly believe the writers had to make Hasbro believe this is still a children's show by telling one of the "classics".
>>27379878
If they manage to keep the story moving during the songs it's ok. For example, the one that introduced Princess Twilight, despite what else you can say about it, kept the story moving through the songs, this one started with an unnecessarily long one about how the main character hated Hearthswarming.

Boring was a common sentiment towards it.
>tfw all the episodes so far are boring
We gonna go full Powerpuff Girls next season, arent we?
>>27379977
Gauntlet of Fire was great.
>>27379987
Best episode so far.
It was pretty boring.
>>27379848
it wasn't boring. was expected
when you know a story where you know what is about, you say it's boring, but that's because you know what's going to happen.
you anons are fucking mental. this episode is the best shit i've seen from this show in forever. so much of this episode was done right. pacing was excellent, songs made me jizz. this ep hit all the notes. 9.5/10

Whatever you say, paid Hasbro shill
>>27379848
Eh, predictability didn't detract too much for me, since I love Christmas Carol. My enjoyment was more about "Who's gonna play Cratchet/Marley/the spirits," just like with every cartoon retelling of the story.
>>27379848
Summer fag go home, I didn't even watch the episode.

Funny, those are my favorite 2 eps this season. They were both simple, but extremely cute and entertaining. I'm also a sucker for musical episodes. Basically this >>27381599

Am I in bizarro world?
>>27379862
Because little girls like christmas?
>giving a fuck about the story and not the music, costumes, animation, and voice acting.
It's all been boring. I may have to change my pick for most overrated season from 2 to this one at the rate people have been eating this shit up.

I keep forgetting you have your catalog set to "last reply" and instinctively bump everything like a faget.

>since it was a retelling of a classic story
Every reenactment of a Christmas Carol is someone's first's reenactment of a Christmas Carol.
Of course all of them pale in comparison to the greatest version of a Christmas Carol: A Muppet Christmas Carol - Starring Michael Cain.
I only regret we didn't get to see Sunset and Trixie do a rendition of Marley and Marley.
inb4 "The actual Christmas Carol only has 1 Marley in it"
And that is why it is the inferior version.
>>27379848
The episode made me want to tell ponies stupid stories from our world, like the tale of
Joe Dirt, Harold and Komar's journey to White Castle, The Odyssey of the Bubble Boy or the epic tale of Ferris Bueller's day off.

ITS FUCKING MAY
i hate that "Christmas in July"crap
i diddnt even watch it, im saving that one for December lads
>>27379848
>You knew pretty much what was going to happen
You're watching the wrong show if you're looking for shocking, exciting twists and turns, you idiot. It's about character development and friendship. I bet you also complain that "nothing happens" in Better Call Saul. I fucking hate you.
>>27379848
Beyond the whole Christmas in Summer deal, it was still better than the episode before it by a mile and on par with GoMP and NSP
>>27382104
Slice of Life a shit anon.
Why did you think Ember episode was liked as much as it was?
>>27384635
Because a good majority of this board is legitimately retarded and can't understand good writing, depth, or any level of subtlety. Spike didn't even have a personality. They just made him do cool things. Fuck anyone who thinks that did him justice.
>>27379872
>>27384635
I actually kinda agree.

>I've read this story before and the lesson is obvious but it has ponies in it so I'm paying attention.
pretty much how i feel about most episodes really.
>>27379848
At least you briefly explained the reason why you didn't like it, unlike most faggots here and their baseless opinions.
Also,

I would have loved the episode if it was using our actual cast to tell the tale rather than them playing parts.
