He doesn't know what he's doing and he doesn't care. If the entire community expressed their opinion about this shit, Hasbro would either tell this faggot to actually watch the show or kick him, to keep the brony money

>>26895133
This is nothing new from Haber. He is notorious for being a jackass. If you get the chance, watch his panel at Babscon last year. He not only looked like he didn't want to be there, but he also came off as cold, distant, and kind of a douchebag.

Some anon from here asked him "If he could be anywhere else right now where would he be" because we all picked up at Haber's dickhead attitude
>>
>>26895342
I'll do it, I love watching the show staff trying to be normal people on a sea of autism

But at least most of them try to flow with it or just doesn't attend the cons. Trying to do something decent but failing is one thing, being there for the money is the cancer that kills the show

Are you guys pretending to be retarded or are you really this autistic?

If Larson were doing the same thing with all of you you would love it.
>>
>>26895518
Larson was at least a fun guy
>>
>>26895518
No, we really wouldn't.

Haber was a fucktard that never cared about the fandom or even the show itself. You're an even bigger fucktard for that kind of assumption. If I wasn't a narcastic asshole I might've been offended by you.
>>
>>26895500
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6e9vjkawgo

While I admit he does have a decent sense of humor, he really does come off as smug and uncaring. Haber's problem is that he doesn't care about his work. To him its all about the money. If he worked on say Steven Universe or even Adventure Time, he would be the same exact way. What's sad is Haber is literally working on a goldmine of a show, and he still doesn't care.

>>26895518
Except if Larson did that we'd hate him as well. But Larson doesn't so your argument is invalid. There is a difference between caring for your work and simply not giving a fuck and just be in it for the money like Haber is.

>>26895546
Haber could at least show some kind of emotion toward the show. But really when you read his tweets and watch his panel at Babscon, he just comes off as a cold hearted businessman who cares nothing about his product, only the money it will make.

>>26895570
His kid is gonna grow up to be a dick like him, someone should let him know he's setting a bad example for his daughter and see what happens/

The huge issue is that nothing is going to change until Hasbro starts to feel the same blowback Capcom did with Street Fighter.

>>26895518
Larson was fun at the cons. He was nerding out around Faust like Capper General around Larson.

Larosn, Amy Rogers and Mccarthy actually enjoy the cartoon and the characters. Follow the stories just like we do.

People like Haber and Levinger are casuals. Levinger asked about favourite character just kept stuttering until Larson caught her off. Asked about favourite episode they say something like "eehm..the first one was the best..." because they can't even remember their own scripts.

Larson and Amy could name you every episode, every moment and every character on the spot. You will never get such response with any of the new writers. Big Jim is the only one remaining with enough knowledge but he's too much of a Hasbro shilling douche to play along with any brony at the panels. He will just repeat the same shit about watching the show and that he can't say anything interesting.
>>
>>26895639
They seem pretty similar to me.
>>
>>26895616
Because Hasbro knows the show is a fucking goldmine and believes the bronies and fans love all the writers. If the hate against Haber continues to grow, Hasbro will get nervous and can his ass. Losing fans=Losing Money, and Hasbro doesn't want a liability like Haber around fucking up their money train.
>>
>>26895642
Next con Jim goes to, we need the real Murrison to show up. Jim secretly fucking loves that guy
>>
>>26895642
Are you talking about the convention panel where Levinger was so plastered she could barely speak and realized that after one sentence so she was quiet for most of it?

And honestly? I thought the premiere was handled pretty well and had actually realistic dialogue. It didn't feel like many episodes of the show that are full of stilted, unnatural conversations.

If this is what "him not caring about the show" looks like, it's fine with me.
>>
>>26895661
I don't like to ruin peoples shit but I want to make him a liability. He already is to the canon anyway.
>>
>>26895661

You are completely insane if you think Hasbro high command even bothers reading twitter comments.

Besides I'll take a cold hearted businessman over mongoloids that suck brony cock and writes like shit anyday. That premiere was 10 times better than the four two parters Mhegan Mccarthy wrote.

is she drunk or something?

Everyone was fucking wasted on that panel. Larson, Levinger, even McCarthy were all drunk. Fuck Megan even tweeted out before the panel that she was drinking at some bar with the writers. God knows how many they all had.
>>
>>26895680
He literally just amused you with pure filler. nothing in that episode was vital nor explored any significant development between main characters. The only meaningfull interaction was between Starlight and Sunburst and since Sunburst is going to show up less than Moondancer, entire epsidoe was pointless and anyone can skip it when doing a marathon of S6.
>>
>>26895685
>Besides I'll take a cold hearted businessman
Yes because that's working so well for say Konami right now, who are so fucking universally hated that the only reason they make any money is because the Yakuza is keeping them in business.

>Jeremy Whitley read the Journal to learn more about Sombra and Crystal Heart

I think he would be a better story editor. At least he give a a fuck about research. Not to mention he's ocnfirmed to watch every episode.

Don't worry. This fandom can't hate the staff of this show.

>>
>>26895746
Guess you missed every single scene with Spike and Starlight then.
>>
>>26895746
Exactly this.

Most of the episode was a filler.

Fuck it, near enough the entire episode. I actually felt bored watching it and now I'm aware it's not me being out of touch, it was the episode itself. Anyone know how many episodes he has written this season?
>>
>>26895763

Just because it doesn't work for them it doesn't mean it never works. Some genuine classics were made by cold people who simply have good work ethics.

After all, look at this show, some of the writers that act like fanboys about their own work simply suck shit at it, there's two sides on that coin, if not four, but that would be getting into metaphysical money.

>>
>>26895783
>filler
character interactions, slice of life, and building up to a plot and finale isnt filler.

>>
>>26895696
I'm sure his daughter is gonna read these tweets one day and realize how much of her dad is an asshat.
>>
>>26895746

By your retarded logic most episodes of the show are "filler" period, because they have ALWAYS focused on character interaction and breezy fun tales over plot and revelations. Their worst episodes have been the ones that forget that core.
>>
>>26895812
You kidding? I hate filler. I always have. I'm in the minority of wanting more action scenes like the s4 finale.

Back in S1 before Season 2 was even close to release I absolutely hated the S1 finale. All that build up and it was a filler episode.

So do you think Jim Sterling has a point that if we kick off enough of a shit that ANY noticeable damage to the brand will cause Hasbro to react?

That only works every now and then, and its pretty rare that its successful. The last time it worked was with Disney when Michael Eisner took over. He stated on record that he could literally care less about Disney's cartoons, movies, or legacy. He was there to make money and make money only. And it worked for him and Disney because he made things people liked, and made sure he had the right people working around him. Also helped that he was a Jew.

Not take it so fucking seriously? What people seem to be interpreting as "fucking up the canon" was two lines that *might* vaguely imply no alicorns were previously born, but thanks to multiple established canon explanations we know this isn't the case yet people are still making this misinterpretation.

Haber is exactly what the show needs to stay good. He's actually doing new things and writing character based stories that relate to real life issues (losing touch with old friends)

Would you prefer a Meghan opener where there's a random villain who has no relevance to the plot but still exists just because? Haber knows what he's doing, and the fact he can use self deprecating humor and talk himself down shows that he's grounded and doesn't consider his work perfect or faultless (as no writer should)

That's not bad. That is decent leg work on his part. This is like being mad at the writers because there was an episode in season 5 where Applejacks's hat is destroyed and muh headcanons say that the hat was AJ's dad's. You can't expect writers to be autist tier fans of the show.

The best plot (starlight and sunburst) was the B-plot, so I can half understand if people don't think about that primarily. I was worried about the baby (I imagine most were) but it turned out alright. The biggest mistake people are making is that they assume the show isn't in on the joke of how much of an asshole the baby was. It was pretty clear with how telegraphed it all was ("I don't know what I'd do without this book" *cue baby fucking everything up in an elaborate reflected shot* "ohhhhhh nooooooooo") - it was definitely played for humor.
Maybe that doesn't work on everyone in the same way that some people don't like cringe humor because they project themselves into it and feel shit or something, I don't know.

>The opener wasn't bad.
It was actually really bad, anon. That was one of the most exposition-heavy children's cartoons I've ever seen. Most of the first part was droning on about what the conflict is about. Then the entire second part was the baby destroying everything. Then there was also that trash with Glimmer and her ex boyfriend, where she comes to his house, leaves, comes back, and I don't know does whatever.

Nothing was neatly wrapped up or presented and I came away from it thinking the best next step would be to exile the baby far away from living ponies.

Truthfully I do. I hated both of those, they and the power of love thing got tiring. Starlight's shit and even McFlurry's problem utilized something unseen in previous bookends. Twilight having to think and/or lecture to get shit done rather than, struggle, struggle, Oh shit five minutes left Elements/Loveshield/Rainbow Ponyan 3 out of nowhere. Hell the only reason I give the Crystal Heart (Sombra edition) a pass is that it was heavily implied to be something that could fuck him hard, what with all the shit he put up to ensure it wasn't obtained.

I was glad we didn't get Elements 3.0.

>They want new people interested in the show
By doing what? Making use of clunky writing and introducing a super powerful baby who only cries once, and only to kill her entire kingdom with the one errant wail?

The opener's antagonists were:
1. The baby
2. The weather
3. Glimmer and Sunburst's social awkwardness

Where was the arc? Glimmer and Sunburst didn't really re-introduce themselves. They talked openly about what they did wrong and the reconciled after the appropriate dialogue.

They solved the weather by having Sunburst walk in and explain what they had to do. They tried researching the answer, but the answer would have been in a book if the baby hadn't been bent on murdering everyone.

So that just leaves us with the baby, who is still at large and clearly needs to go in a cage forcefield.

Aside from the plot not being that interesting, the writing had a lot of problems. They did a lot of things you really don't want to do when writing. There's character driven plots and action driven plots, but this was neither. We saw neither character nor action. Just exposition, a problem which they exposited on so you'd know if was severe (why not have the blizzard trap Glimmer with Sunburst so they have to stay together and talk?), and a solution provided via exposition.

It was really, really bad. This episode was terrible. Even for kids it's not a good episode because there's too much chewing the fat.
>>
>>26897618
The powerups functioned far more differently than anything we had seen yet.
>>
So I have to ask /mlp/ a semi-related question about all of this drama:

Whatever happened to/became of Ted Anderson? I don't follow the comics much and haven't been keeping a super-close ear to a part of the fandom that might have any information on him, if there's even any to be had.

Anybody know anything? He had to be more hated than Haber...I think.

By catching people up to date with relatively well thought out exposition and the introduction of a new semi regular cast member, along with a bunch of old semi regulars showing up. Plus it was a slice of life episode, which is what the show is about. And it was funny, relied on a well constructed plot arch instead of a deus ex mcguffin.

Also, you underestimate children. The yaren't stupid. Look up Lt.Corbin on YouTube if you don't believe me.
>>
>>26897692
It's not even Haber's fault that Alicorns make no sense anymore. Hasbro is the one who made Cadence an alicorn, Twilicorn, and now the baby. He's just writing the episode with the things they want in it and trying his best to make sense of it.
>>
>>26897713
>Power Ponies
Fuck anon, that's the last thing we need after two two-partners that didnt require a magical mcguffin, and you know that's the only time they'd be used, I mean that's what those things are there for. And for some reason you say Haber sucks, but then turn around and don't expect a new magical MLP mcguffin/sudden power up to be utilized in exactly the same way. As far as it goes, their story impact would be identical to Element and Rainbow Power. Actually maybe less than the elements, they at least got dragged out just in case Discord needed to be locked in stone again.

>>26897725
I tend to be whatever on what it's called, aside from Equestria (if only to prevent confusion). Plus I don't read the comics all that much.
>>
>>26897797
>Where was the arc? Glimmer and Sunburst didn't really re-introduce themselves. They talked openly about what they did wrong and the reconciled after the appropriate dialogue.

At the start glim and sun are awkward and distant, with sun potentially not even remembering her at all
after a few failed attempts tensions rise due to external circumstances and they open up to each other, revealling how flawed they both are and how they still need each other
By the end they're friends who want to stay in touch

Textbook story arc. Classic character story. You're wrong.

They would not have been able to fix the heart without glim and sun reconciling. The plots wove together.
>the baby, who is still at large and clearly needs to go in a cage forcefield.

Haber is one of the worst cases for this, you will never get a straight answer or even a serious response from the guy.

A textbook story arc is not
1. Thing happens
2. Thing happens
3. Thing happens

It's
1. Problem arises
2. Obstacles to solution
3. Rising tension
4. Climax
5. Resolution

We had several problems. The baby, the crystal ritual, Glimmer's thing, and the weather. The obstacles to solving those problems were kind of fuzzy. Just "can't move clouds, Dash. Those are north clouds. Can't move 'em! Can move the sun but not these clouds!" They never fully acknowledged the baby as a problem, even.

Then the climax was... what?

The resolution was that they fixed the McGuffin and the McGuffin made all the problems go away. Except the baby. The baby will kill again.

There wasn't really an arc. It wasn't really interwoven. Any character at all could have had the information Sunburst had because he pulled it out his ass - and that's important. With an arc you wouldn't just ask Sunburst what to do and he tells you. Sunburst would have some kind of struggle so that there's a story. And him admitting his fault to Glimmer wasn't that struggle - that was for the B plot where two ponies stand around awkwardly eating up time.

Companies do that all the time. "We recognize the problem and will try doing better next time." Even if they aren't going to do anything. No string promises made yet everyone is happy. The argument cut short. What Haber is doing is AT LEAST unprofessional.
>>
>>26898506
Hell, he could have simply ignored all the questions. It would save his time AND face.

Guys, they said that the birth of an alicorn is something "Equestria" has never seen before. Equestria could very well be just the name of a single continent on the planet they inhabit and Celestia and Luna came to Equestria from elsewhere, much like how the elves in Tolkien's Legendarium didn't originate in Middle-Earth but rather emigrated there from a land known as Aman aka "The Undying Lands". There is probably a whole continent or at the very least a large island or chain of islands that is inhabited entirely by alicorns.
>>
>>26898558
It seems it's just a rather large county really, even back in S1, it was implied heavily to not be the planet, what with Zecora coming from a land far away from Equestria and all, or is this shit like the whole "dragon code" debacle/fracas where faggots deliberately ignore shit that says fanon/their headcanon is wrong.
>>
>>26898506
Will agree slightly there. Then again so was just about everybody tweeting to us that we were okay with, even if we hated her.

And if this is about the switch to what we got instead of hurr new mcguffins. Thank fucking GOD they're starting to realize spoiling shit does fuckall for promotion.
>>
>>26898376

Climax was evacuating the city as it was getting engulfed by snow
the only way they fixed the mcguffin was by resolving the conflict in the B-plot, which happened over the course of 2 episodes and not instantaneously.

Do you understand how character drama works as opposed to action drama? Because it doesn't look like you do. You can trivialise everything as 'thing happens' but that ignores the relevance it has to the narrative structure.

It isn't confirmed that Celestia and Luna weren't born as alicorns, the sisters just said that they've never heard of a naturally-born alicorn before, maybe they don't remember their own birth and weren't told about being born alicorns during their upbringing or something. Maybe its a taboo thing to talk about, or something that you need to be older about to learn, like telling your kids "where babies come from." The sisters just never had "the talk." Autistic headcanons aside, you all need to calm the fuck down.

100% of his tweets are just jokes. It became tiresome after a hwile. Even Larson made serious explanation about Slice of Life or Twilicorn when someone had serious problem with it. Haber just use "humor" to deflect any criticism. He is incompetent.

This is a panel wit McCarthy, Amy Rogers, Larson, Levinger and Haber.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isp6saS-tvk


You can clealry see a difference between 3 on the left and 2 on the right. Levinger and Haber are completely without passion or interest and just trying to get this over while Larson, Amy and McCarthy actually know their shit.

So please stop damage controlling out of your ass.
>>
>>26899546

There's no damage controlled involved. It's possible to write a good story without knowing the source material in and out, as long as you are writing something new that doesn't rely on the past.
>>
>>26898046
No, Larson and OCnfalone are rusemen. Haber just don't give a fuck. For him Equestria Girls and FiM is the same shit and that the show is JUST for kids ONLY.
>>
>>26899491
I'm pretty sure Spike just played the role of having Starlight exopse her issues to the audience. The interaction wasn't about them. Everything they said was about her and Sunburst. Spike could have been replaced with any of Mane6 and it would be the same episode.
>>
>>26894604
Holy fuck this guy is a douche
What is he doing as a writer?
>>
>>26899491
Haber would have been clever is he made a connection of Spike being unappreaciated with Glimmer feeling left out. But he didn't and their interactions was just an exposition and filler. Same was with Shy and Twilight in McColts episode. Nothing about them, just two random M6 dealing with current problem instead trying to understand eachother.
>>
>>26899572
Hasbro exec, Mike Vogel is a bigger fan of the show than Haber. He should be the story editor.
>>
>>26894604
>The fandom is going to get this man fired over this.
>>
>>26899592

If you want to be cynical and analyse the narrative on a higher level, you should do it for every episode.
character interactions almost always have a narrative purpose as well as whatever implications they provide about relationships. Just because it has one doesn't discount the other, it just means it's not the focus. These things aren't binary.
>>
>>26899612

>it's a 'the fandom severely overestimates how much power it has' episode
>>
>>26899635
No, Pinkie and Aj bonded in Hearthwarming Eve. Same with Big Mac and Applebloom in Brotherhooves Social or Discord with Twilight and Fluttershy in Twilight Kingdom. Those interactions have meaning and cary on to other seasons. Fluttershy with Aj in Bats or Twilight in McColts had no substance just like Spike with Starlight. He was just being a nice guy but there was no emotional attachment or connection between two very specific characters.
>>
>>26899656
You're describing character development and confusing it with displaying character at all.
You don't need to develop character relationships in order to show them, and in many cases it's not practical to develop the relationships when it's not the focus of the episode (eg twi and flut in mccolts or glim and spike in crystalling). Just because their relationship dynamic isn't being presented in a way that changes, doesn't mean it isn't showing their relationship dynamic.

People just love complaining. I mean, seriously, look at all the people saying McCarthy was better and they wish she'd be back.

Then go to an archive and check what they were saying about a year ago.

No matter what happens, people will always find a reason to complain about it.

I do think they should have taken the established canon into account though, that was very clearly an oversight. I mean, the statement was ambiguous so it doesn't really disprove the book, but they don't really use intentional ambiguity in this show so that was hardly intentional and more luck.
>>
>>26898869
That and McFlurry is an alicorn born of what was once a pegasus and a unicorn (or given that Cadence being a once pegasus is a book thing just an alicorn and unicorn) and they could be, shit, we have no idea what this kid can do. Two alicorns having an alicorn, that's as predictable to the sisters as two humans producing a human kid, while McFlurry would be the equivalent of a human kid coming from a human/uplifted binobo and an orangutang.

>Zebras aren't from a far away land Twilight, they all live in the middle of the Everfree forest where they were almost hunted to extiction by the wildlife
>Equestria isn't a new land that the three pony races discovered, it was a land the pegasuses already knew about and was covered by a treaty with the griffons
>Luna and Celestia are from a race of alicorns from Canterlot. Not the Catnerlot in the show, another Canterlot
The book was utter shit despite being written by AKR.

>can't move clouds, Dash
she froze when she tried.

>Can move the sun but not these clouds
the relic holding off those clouds was akin to the elements of harmony. we know already that no one is stronger than the elements of harmony, not even all the alicorns combined.

>The baby will kill again
the baby was stabilized, if you paid attention.

>It wasn't really interwoven
the plots separated and then combined, but worked alongside each other all the way. thats interwoven, even if you dont like it.

>Any character at all could have had the information Sunburst had because he pulled it out his ass
he was extremely well read, which was his entire character. he also lived in the crystal empire, so if anyone knew about the magic of that area, it was going to be him. even twilight had to find a book on their history when she showed up before to look for the crystal heart.
