If you could declare 3 episodes non canon which would you choose and why?
Mine are
>daring do
How the fuck did they think that was a good idea every part of there audience would have preferred to just have a self contained daring do story.
>a bird in the hoof
Why why was celestia so stupid as to fail to realise fluttershy was in distress.
Alternatively why the fuck did fluttershy not know what a Phoenix was if there rare enough that animal care pony doesent know about them then celestia should have known that he would look like he was dying to an outside observer.
And for that matter why was a meeting with the mayor not already factored into her schedual why would she need to combine the events anyway it's useful but the town's are close enough you can probably have regular meetings.
>the cutie mark chronicles
The episode worked for rainbow dash, pinkie pie and applejack (even if it did terrify me that I might do the same thing as applejack when I left the farm) it was alright for fluttershy but it was utterly retarded for rarity and twilight.
Runners up in next post
>>26991579
The runners up for me were
>the mysterious mare do well
Since when is there a cliff let alone a hill of any sort in ponyvile.
>secret of my excess
My real problem with this one was more that it dident address if dragons also grew naturaly. So this can be easily fixed in a later episode and probably will be in 2 weeks.
>hearths warming Eve
Why exactly does nobody know what the pre princess flag looked like I get they aren't very good at recording there history but still.
>the last roundup
She's meant to be the element of honesty damit.
>it's about time
I just don't like time travel in my Technicolor ponys no matter how good the story is (I do auctualy have a theory that makes the time loop make sense I will have to share that some day) although at least they put a clear limiter on it.
Only reason I dident choose this is because to fully get rid of time travel I would have to spend all my episodes on it and it's not worth it.
>games ponys play
I just can't believe nobody had seen a picture of her.
>somepony to watch over me
Just seems out of character for applejack but I'm really not enough of an applefag to be able to tell for sure.
>testing testing 1 2 3
How the fuck did dash not know all this already.
>Appaloosas most wanted
It's not entirely clear why they dident get there marks here but I guess that can be explained as not realising the significance the first time and it would have seemed like a bit of an arse pull later on I guess.
>party pooped
Go back start over again and make the yaks less over the top.
Alternatively show that it's only the leadership that is that retarded.
>amending fences
I don't like that minuet was not a dentist they give all the retarded pandering of slice of life and miss the opportunity for good pandering here.

>rarity investigates
I refuse to accept that the guards are that incompetent they would auctualy take a cake break from a cake presented to them. This one came a close 4th but in the end I decided that the main characters were more important then the guards.
>crusaders of the lost mark
As great as that episode was how does such a massive bitch work as a wedding planner and what does filthy rich see in her.
>cutie re mark 1&2
Again I don't like time travel in my ponys.
I considered slice of life but as much as I hate secret agent bon bon Kevin is just to good to give up and it's no longer the only random twilicane.
Bear in mind there's a difrence between don't like and don't want to be cannon many of these are my favourite episodes and there's a few I hate that I don't care about the canoninity of.

Season 5, Episode 18
"Crusaders of the Lost Mark"
>The episode itself wasn't that bad, however in terms of canon the CMC's cutie marks are one of the worst things the show's ever done. Having them all share a "theme" is the dumbest fucking thing and significantly changes something that was established for years now to be personal for each horse.
Season 4, Episode 4
"Daring Don't"
>Again, for canon reasons, making Daring Do a real pony was absolutely retarded. This one isn't as big of an issue as Lost Mark but they could've had a better and more engaging story if they just copied that one Hey Arnold episode and made Daring Do's author the opposite of the character herself. It could've been a humbling episode for Dash to get character development.
Season 5, Episode 22 AND Season 2, Episode 8
"What About Discord?" and "The Mysterious Mare Do Well"
>These are the worst episodes of the show.
These are LITERALLY the worst episodes of the show and making a worse episode than these will be hard to top. These episodes shouldn't exist because they just feature the entire cast acting out-of-character, being dicks, and royally shitting on the "focus" character (Twilight/Dash) for no reason other than to move the plot along. Absolute cancer.Bonus: Season 5, Episode 8

>>26991608
>>>/out/
>>26991579
Daring Don't and Testing Testing 123 are the only ones I think should not be considered canon.
Daring Do should've stayed a fictional character that AK Yearling perhaps used as a self insert to a bunch of adventures she wished she had. The episode could've gone much better if Dash had taken her on somw crazy adventure that had nothing to do with DD canon, and then it inspired AK to write about it and dedicate the book to Dash.
Testing Testing 123 was stupid from the getgo, and whilst I did enjoy the wonderbolts rap and the awareness made to people with learning difficulties, it has been shown on multiple ocassions that Rainbow Dash has an extreme passion for the wonderbolts, and knows vast amounts about their records and history. Why wouldn't Dash, a wonderbolts enthusiast, know enough about them to pass the entrance exam? Utterly ridiculous premise to what could've been an okay episode if the topic Dash was trying to learn was something different.
I'm not even a Dashfag, she's my second to least favourite of the M6, but holy shit does it annoy me how often the writers shit up her character for the sake of churning out a vague episode idea. I feel sorry for people who really like her, because her episodes are either great or terrible.
I can't quite make up my mind about a third, but for the first two without question I'd knock out MMC and Keep Calm and Flutter On. They form the underpinning for so much of what went wrong that their removal will take a bunch of other bullshit with them. Maybe Crusaders of the Lost Mark though. The CMC had been building up a pile of background lore about their likely cutie marks, and should have gotten far better than this phoned-in dipshittery.

>>26992936
Dragonsneeze trees? The new species of plant that was never addressed or explained and just existed as an obstacle that felt out of place?
>>26992936
"Fifty cities of Equestria" was so dumb that I assume the writer originally wrote "states."
Crystal Empire delegate doing the same shit as everyone else instead of defending her empire's savior who is more relevant to the daily life of her empire than any of the royals.
Shitty contrived dragonsneeze trees.
IDW OC inserts.
There are more reasons if you want to know.
>>26992956
>>26992962
OK yeah those are valid points
What idw inserts are you talking about though I dident remember seeing anything from the comics
Although I do disagree on the 50 citys twilight said over 50 I'm pretty sure it was just a number they picked
I would like to know more though all other criticisms I have heard on the episode were the standard spike stuff
>>26991579
>Magical Mystery Cure
Wings
>Princess Twilight, part one and two
The elements are a nice Deus ex machina, and much better than thinking of a new one every season.
>>26992994
They fucking put writer and artist OCs in the episode, breaking their own rules because they felt like they had to or some shit.
The writer was so new I assume that he just assumed Equestria had states, hence fifty of them.
Cadance was fucking useless and most if not all of the blame falls on her for seeing problems and not fixing them.
Perhaps most importantly: there's fundamentally no reason why Spike speaking for Twilight would ever be a bad thing unless you add in the contrivance of the delegates being fucking idiots (they never apologize for that, but sure are gung ho on making Spike feel like shit) and the "bad" things he did under her name.
I went over why I don't think he did anything wrong and how he was crucified for the shit that happened while he was trying his best, but it ultimately comes down to the false assertion that "Spike can't handle royal duties."
The whole episode was a staff in joke because up until it aired it was just an internal thing to hate Spike and think this shit was super funny. If anything it's funny because of its unintentional meta humor in a way. Like, holy shit, someone on staff ACTUALLY hates Spike THIS much. It's pathetic.
>>26993034
I mostly agree with you but I don't think it's unreasonable for the delegates to trust spike they are seen together a lot
Although on the other hand he's a fucking baby
Cadance fucked up though yeah she should have at least gone over spikes head on the drain.

He is also the guy who basically does all the thinking for the princess.

S6 E1 and 2
While at the end Starlight was useful, I fucking hated the rest
Starlight has to deal with two degenerates while new baby wrecks everything
>>26993281
The entire episode would've been improved by the nonexistence of the baby. They could've visited the Crystal Empire solely to see Sunburst, and then they split off into groups because they think it's best for Starlight to do this alone, and they should really check in with Twiggy's family anyway. Maybe the kingdom could've come under attack by wendigos that break the heart and enduce the winds, and Cadance and Twilight are the ones who try and hold it off because Celie and Luna aren't there to do it.

What were they thinking this entire episode. Even Larson admitted that he personally thought it was the worst episode in the entire series.
>Spike at Your Service
Yeah two Spike episodes already but are you fucking surprised? This episode was probably the most out-of-character a character ever is throughout the entire run of a show. It's also unanimously agreed to be the worst episode in the series
>Daring Don't
The fact that they went through with this idea at all was insane. I expected a great twist at the end about it all being a movie or something but it wasn't. It was actually real and it was shit. Literally any other way could have gone better.

>>26994776
but anon, those are already non-canon
>all the hate for Daring Don't ITT
I never understood this. People don't even seem to hate it because it was a bad episode, they hate it because it did something different from what they were expecting. Everyone seems to judge it against their headcanons instead of taking it for what it is.
Like, there are some genuinely great moments in there, like Rainbow getting into a /co/-tier fight with Twilight over Daring Do lore, and Daring herself brutally beating the shit out of animals and thugs. Yet it all gets overlooked because "MUH DARING IS REAL NOOOO".
Like, how the fuck can you even put it on the same level as SAYS and Princess Spike? Do people around here really take their headcanons that seriously?

What
The Cutie Pox
In MMC the Mane 6 still retained their respective talents and sucked with their swapped one. In The Cutie Map the equal mark just acted as an inhibitor. The cutie pox actually giving AB the talent triggers me.
What About Discord
I'm fine with Discord screwing with Twilight, but the fact he engineered the entire thing just for that purpose really irks me. It would have made much more sense if Twilight just missed out and Discord noticed her jealousy and tried to get her to recognize it. As it stands, it serves to regress Discord's character and is generally just boring and awful.
MMDW
self-explanatory
>>26991608
You're an idiot.
>>26998355
> Some morons still don't think Discord knew what he was doing to help Twilight get the finale key.
He pointed out to the mane 6 the important parts of the journal, so he had to know about the keys.
Celestia trusted him.
When Tirek "took" his magic, his eyes and coat did not fade like everyone else. Tirek did not grow very much after taking his magic, strange considering Discord's power. Tirek was also never shown using chaos magic.
He gives Celestia a knowing wink at the end of the episode.
> MMC
You do realize that all the ponies, despite changing cutie marks, were operating under flawed assumptions about them, which is why they failed so bad. Repeating Larson's self-criticism that you read on EQD just makes you sound unoriginal.
Honestly, most of the criticisms in this thread are full of holes, but yours make good examples.
For me,
> Twilight's Kingdom
It screws up the established history of Equestria and Starswirl. The crystal castle was also dumb and ugly and violated the foreshadowing of using the much neater and more aesthetic Castle of the Two Sisters throughout the season.
> anything involving the Crystal Empire
Nothing about it meshes with the rest of the show.
>>27000382
>The Cutie Pox/MMC
I'm not sure that's really an inconsistency. The cutie pox is a curse deliberately caused by a potion, while the events of MMC were caused by a wild, failed spell. They're entirely different situations aside from the shared fact that they're both abnormal and unnatural, and the fact that they have entirely different effects doesn't mean the writers don't give a shit about cutie mark lore. They probably don't, but this difference can be easily explained.The Cutie Pox was a better episode than MMC, anyway.
>>27000563
It's not that it's inconsistent with how magic can affect cutie marks and their expression, It's honestly not even a real big deal. I just don't like the idea of a cutie mark, even an unnatural one actually giving you a talent. Also, I just didn't find the episode entertaining.MMC is in the top 20 episodes, Cutie Pox is bottom 20
>>26991579
I could only pick one without picking normally hated ones.At the Gala
There honestly was no point for this episode to exist. Yes, the music was nice, but as a finale? It doesn't leave anything to remember, and because of that it is forgettable in my opinion.
>>27000519

I don't visit EQD so I don't know what Larson had to say about it there. There's nothing to indicate that the ponies have misinterpreted anything, only that they're not doing what makes them happy.
Case in point - Rarity can't control the weather. Rainbow Dash hesitantly takes over for her, quickly discovers she's capable of performing a menial labor task that any pegasus is capable of, and boom - RD remembers her true identity for some inexplicable reason. They could have showed her racing, or performing flying maneuvers. But they went with her day job instead.
Crusaders of the Lost Cutie Mark any both parts of The Cutie Remark.
Replace them with a new 2-parter where Starlight succeeds at stealing every Cutie Mark in Equestria, but then the Crusaders get their Cutie Marks and save the day.

The episode itself was pitiful, terribly handled and unplanned as fuck.
Out of the 21 minutes they had available they only use 13 minutes on the backstory because the other 8 are wasted on intermissions and CMC hijinks.
They shouldn't have forced the Crusaders into the episodes and neither the backstories.
If they simply wanted to show off the mane6 as cute adorable fillies in contrast to the Crusaders then they should have used a plot point which turned the mane6 back to fillies before they even got their cutie marks! and then the Mane6 would have to try and get back their cutie marks, but it's not as easy as "I know I'll just repeat the same thing again" because as children it would be harder and it would have to be another very special moment.
Just a way they could have handled it.

Wow Baxter, you managed to overwhelm /mlp/ at their own nihilistic game.

My dislikes are not because I didn't find the episodes good, but because it breaks the setting and immediately dragged me out of the story to wonder what the hell is going on.
MMDW - Hydroelectric Dam next to Ponyville, a place where the local law enforcement still uses spears and most of the population uses oil lamps. I just wish they had kept to a standard when choosing what to introduce.
Every Episode centered around Manehatten - Again, this shit is extremely out of place. We are given context cues to suggest that FIM takes place in a time period comparable to Late Tudor/Early Elizabethan by our history. Yet in each of these episodes we just through that all out the window and are suddenly propelled 400 years into the future where modern yachts sail the waters and steel framed buildings rise into the sky. And somehow these little shits have somehow managed to create these marvels of modern society yet the best form of travel are still dinky ass rickshaws.
I just want some goddamn consistency here.

Three's A Crowd
Somepony To Watch Over Me
These episodes are fucking atrocious. I'm a grown man watching a cartoon for little girls, so it's assumed I'm at least a little bits nuts, so don't fucking give me a reason to become unhinged over a garbage episode.

I can understand not liking threes a crowd but why would you pick that as your non cannon episode it doesent really have an effect on anything.

Yes, each pony was unhappy. Their new cutie marks confused them.
What I was trying to say is that each pony failed their new role because, despite attempting the surface work, they just didn't have the demeanor that motivated it in the first place. None of them had the right attitude. For example, Fluttershy tried making ponies laugh, but she didn't really know why. She didn't understand the nature of laughter.
Fluttershy did understand the nature of kindness, which is why interacting with the animals brought her back. I think what the episode shows is that personality and talents are connected. The spell could change one, but not the other. The personality of the ponies guided them back to their true talents.

Nothing says the dam was hydroelectric.
The ancient romans understood how to mix cement. It's reasonable that ponies could have cement dams.

Yeah the dam never bothered me

You know, that actually would be a good idea.
Ticketmaster, yes it may cause problems for the three episode GGG arc, but goddamn that was a shitty episode.
Spike at Your Service. Not even the stupidest of kids shows use this goddamn plot.
Suited for Success, if I wanted to watch Sundays in the Park with George, I'd watch the fucking play.

I'm a fan of Discord as being more Q-like, and that episode portrayed him much differently.

Fair enough
