You bet your ass I am, I have a link to add right here. Typical of the fanboys to downvote everything, but at least the negative critiques get sent to the last page instead of the middle. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1751105 /reviews?start=60

The director really matters a lot as well, I just watched riders of berks with different directors, one is heavily based on dialogue filler and concentrated too much on cliches, jokes, etc. while the other has none of those and knows that less characters per scene is best.

Hearth's Warming Eve could have been far better with the following cliche: The 3 nations unite against a greater opponent. Make the 3 nations filled with spies that planned for them to be at war with each other, till the ice queen bitch that controls the windigos & spies gets revealed and the united nations defeat her. Could have also worked better if the characters were brand new, like Looney Tunes Show with WW2, instead of the awful cliche of putting the current characters in the roles of others. But how the episode actually happened, especially with that ending where they force a moral and deus ex everything, just spelt no effort or fuck put into it, so of course they wouldn't even care to pick the good cliches from the bad ones.

I think every single episode with Spike as the main character in it is shit. Most will agree with me, but a way to get rid of this issue would be to just not throw out his character every damn time they give him an episode. Normally, he's the sensible person in almost all of the situations he's in as a side character, but when they throw him into the main spotlight, his character explodes and becomes a cheap attempt at comedy.

The pinkie clone episode needed better clones, with actual personality, abilities and good jokes. Make a flying one, a magic one, smug one, rebel, evil, smart, funny, etc. something like that one comic where Pinkie's alter egos escape from Twilight's lab.

They really didn't give a fuck when writing some episodes, when better endings are available right in your face. The train episode should have had Pinkie sleepwalking and eating the cake, instead of that porn cake talk where she influences everyone to eat it. Also a detective episode should never hide the evidence, but there's few shows which actually write crime drama detective episodes properly, to appeal to a wider audience and keep them interested and not go *that's bullshit+I would have never knew even if it was right in my face*. Good thing there's Fillmore for that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffu lc8LQD6w

https://www.youtube.com/watch?featu re=player_detailpage&v=Wqw97Jk714M# t=305s Lauren should have had a better musical ear or music maker. I didn't realize a huge amount of the characters had themes outside of songs, let alone notice they went missing after Season1, till I looked back at the vocal free episodes. I thought only Dash had a theme, which by the way needs improvement. The music pieces could have been more memorable, more motifs, like Rarities which had the same segment put on loop. Same for the overall soundtrack taken from Hub's core library which also gets used by Dan Vs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71i UAFFQ8ik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43m IfKsxiKQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=He9 -p7f3DEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oel DCr3P7yk Only one I managed to remember was Photo Finnish. I didn't remember or even realize that Sapphire Shores, Gilda, Nightmare Moon, Celestia and the Main5 all had themes, except for Twilight which only gets that cliche rock country theme in the pilot episode for one scene... which actually wasn't even her theme song, it was the pilot episode's first scene's theme. A lot of girl's shows have that pop rock opening for their first episode when the main character comes on screen. Guess they can't afford

I'll never know what Lauren was thinknig when she okayed CutieMarkChronicles, aside from it being a ''main characters are being cute kids'' episode, there wasn't much going for it at all, definitely not as a backstory episode. You don't cram 6 stories into 21minutes, especially when you also waste time with intermissions and don't bother explaining things which have already been introduced into the show without answer, like take Pinkie Pie for example, she is living with the Cakes couple, how did this happen, did she leave her family behind at a certain age like most amish people do? How did Pinkie's first parasprite encounter go like?, how did she eventually learn that they're affected by music? Was her amish story all a fake? Her Granny Pie sounds like a kind character, completely unrelated to the gray family. Same for her ice skating, mentioning she was very little when she learned, she sounded like she had a good childhood. Did her family get all happy and her life a hell lot better once she organized the party? That's just 1 of the 6 characters and I already went Red Letter Media on it.

>>9026061 >That's just 1 of the 6 characters and I already went Red Letter Media on it. You just pointed out one continuity hole with her upbringing (her encounter with parasprites was completely unrelated and didn't need to be explained). Don't give yourself too much credit. I'm negative on your review. That's on-topic.

Celestia has a boring personality and is a useless overgrown pony with a happy attitude that plays too much batman gambit and is lazy as fuck. She also gives no good advice, so she's no Uncle Iroh. She also has no screen time for her action-filled life in the old days, cause Faust is a shit story writer. Spike is a useless straightman and when he isn't, he's a snarker and a crybaby. We already have a damn Twilight Sparkle. TS is a social recluse, which flips between sarcastic viewer and mother in law that won't shut the hell up. AJ has all the negative traits her stereotype could have, and she only lies well when she wants to protect her pride. Rainbow was an insecure retarded smiling Peter Pan, which in S2 turned into Bloo, but even dumber and more aggressive. Rarity is a boring attention-needing whore that designs generic dresses which most of the time is a useless cringeworthy dramawhore. Pinkie Pie is an ignorant and manipulative asshole that was also paranoic. In S2+ she's a stupid brat that wants her lollypop. Fluttershy is a repressed bitch with a calm voice, but isn't capable of communicating most of the time. She switches to paladin momma bear because of her cheap ability and anger management issues. In S2 she's an anxious crybaby in personality and voice.

Well aside from the fact the show lied to its audience when the pilot released and everyone thought it was gonna be power rangers with ponies. It could have had more dream sequences like LPS. One thing MLP did alright is the implementation of slice of life and adventure into two parts like Boast Busters, Feeling Pinkie Keen and Stare Master. Though the show is far too tepid in comedy, action, world exploration and characters, not to mention lack of overarching plot and missing characters like Luna, Zecora or useless ones like Celestia & Spike. Everyone still stuck with the show even though it wasn't the same as the pilot, and later it got recognized as a pretty bad pilot. Must of been the fact that people were more interested in lesbian female characters, enhanced by the cutsie design, they were more interested in shipping than the actual girliness which you could also already find in things like the Tinkerbell movies. Actually the shipping and concept of crossovering ponies with everything got more attention than the actual show. There was this star anon back in 2010 that would rate the shipping between the ponies, these were far more detailed than anything the posts centered on the threads ever had, most of the threads were just image dumps, macros and some fanart.

>>9027396 I forgot completely about Rainbow's actual character, I was too amazed that she was finally chill and got more flying action sequences with guitar, to pay attention how out of character she was. She isn't giddy at all about joining the Wonderbolts, when she actually spazzes whenever she meets them. How she doesn't try to compete with the OC, lightning dust. She feels beta and weepy as hell, like Fluttershy. Sometimes dramawhoring like Rarity. She's barely the headstrong rebel she used to be.
