>>27987538
Saying the show is dying is an epik dank maymay that all the cool kiddies have loved to say for a long while now

Now that it is stable unlike at the start when they really had to try, they goof off and make mediocre episode after mediocre episode. Not even trying to tie ends about rthe new toys, just like LOL SHOVE IT AL IN THERE, WHO CARES ABOUT MAKING IT FIT?
Shitty fucking lessons, that don't even make sense sometimes, yes there are some of those in past episodes but now it is nearly every episode.
Tons of references to make up for shitty writing and lack of dedication, as a means of damage control.

You think I'm a Shimmerfag? Even still at least she's a slightly better character who still remembers she did some shit and interacts with the Mane 5, unlike this new Sue.

Besides, isn't adding characters the move of a series that knows it's dying? She feels so forced, it's sickening.

It doesn't destroy the series, but it certainly ruins all of the season bookends, in addition to Twilight.

>>27987682
There are several differences with Discord. At least Discord still acts like how he did instead of having some weird click that seems like they're a different person. There wasn't even character development to feel that was warranted.

>>27987714

Try enjoying stuff instead of hating it once and see how you like it.

>>27987538
I think the main problem is that when a series is starting out there is a lot of information you have to fill in yourself that's not elaborated upon. The longer the show runs, the more the series expands into different ideas and details get filled in about everything. So the longer it runs the more people get they're headcanons ruined and to them it feels like their initial interpretation of the show is getting ruined. In reality it's just expanding and the people who are open to the art that's being created will realize this.

I personally jumped into this show cause it was fresh. But now, it is just the ame shit over and over. Sure, the guys that still like it probably are actually autistic and enjoy repetition, but for me it got tiring already. All this show does now is to copy everything else blatantly.

>>27987693
Not him, but most certainly.

>Flanderization
Twilight Sparkle, notably in season premiers and finales how she just becomes a black hole that causes everything to focus on her. And in the movies, too. Fortunately, The Cutie Map avoided it a bit, but that's almost forgettable by making her the absolute star again in the S5 finale. This is not something new, it became tiresome with the Wedding.

Also, Applejack having little more character than "Muh farm" or "Muh family". Again, fortunately there have been some small good episode changes, but not enough to really help at this point.

>clichéd plots
Admittedly I can't care much about this one as I've lost interest in several aspects of the show, and only have been watching what seems appealing. But seeing how it looks like we're getting a remake of Mare Do Well, and one of those "The partners take over the competition!" episodes, I'm not filled with an incredible amount of hope for some of these.

I'll admit when the show does things well (Saddle Row) but some things just don't seem good.

>poor narrative decisions
Mostly what I mentioned above about Twilight I feel is a good example. Also, things like Applejack's Day Off, which just felt like "Applejack's a retard: the episode." The imagined plot of it being about AJ trying to relax at the spa while Twilight tried to do chores, while seemingly cliche, is at least better than that.

>horrendous character designs
Starlight Glimmer's new mane really doesn't look great. Sunset Shimmer and Discord get redeemed and keep their appearance, why not her?

Continued in next post.

>>27987798
>they also had a certain charm to them that drew an adult audience despite them
yes, it was called being new. the show isnt new anymore and so you attribute that to it being worse when really its gotten much better.

well memed.

>>27987793
How convenient, people are still screen capping pointless things here.

>>27987811
Applejack has always had that problem, I think. AJ's Day Off was pretty weak, sure.

Starlight's mane change was done explicitly so her hair would be unequal. It is a physical representation of how she changed.

>>27987811
Look. These kinds of threads are the reasons people feel like there are morons who are just obsessed with the show no matter what happens, and the opposite is the same. Be fucking honest. Admit the faults the show has, but at the same time, admit when it does things well. For example, as much as I hate Twilight and Starlight, I can appreciate them not being crammed in every episode. Saddle Row I felt was a very good. But at the same time, the show does have it's flaws, and people are allowed to bring them up.

And arguments like >>27987786 I feel are absolutely ridiculous. Yes, S1 and S2 had flaws, and you know what? Some people liked them. I myself personally liked the crappy "And here is the moral of the episode..." People are allowed to have tastes based on what they've seen. If you're a complete newfag who only saw S6, you're allowed to say you don't like previous seasons because they're not like S6. If you're an oldfag who has been around since S1, you're allowed to say you don't like how things have changed and you wish things went a different way rather than changing radically.

>>27987586
Any sort of direction the show once had is completely gone.
>It took the writers until SEASON 6 to start doing ANYTHING with Twilight's princess status.
>They completely ran Discord's relevancy into the fucking ground.
>They can't fucking decide whether or not they want to be an adventurous action show or a simple slice of life show

The writers just don't fucking care anymore, either. It's gotten to the point where they're parodying characters in their own fucking show.
>b-but self-awareness
Yeah, done in the worst possible way. Instead of fixing mistakes, they just keep bringing them up and making fun of them, and then keep going on to make the same mistakes. Jesus Christ.

Episodes, as of late, lack any real, engaging conflict. I found half of the fucking premier of Season 6 to be fucking stupid (The McFlurry parts. That baby is literally just a plot device.), and the only episode in recent history I can think of where I was actually engaged with the themes and story it was telling was Hearthbreakers, where Applejack was trying to cope with the culture-shock of the Pie family. That's really the only one I can remember, and I have seen all of them.

There's a lot of problems with this show.

>>27987538
What do you use to define whether an episode's objectively bad or not? If I say I'm not enjoying season 6, it's not over nostalgia. I loved season 5. It's just that none of these episodes are really making me feel anything and it's focusing heavily on characters and plots that I don't find interesting.

>>27987833
That doesn't really stop it from being a shitty design. I get the whole "unequal" thing, but it wasn't really a good choice in looks.

>>27987868
You do realize you can't define what looks shitty... right?

>>27987811

season 5 was the best season thus far and season 6 has handled spike better than any previous season ever did.

T. Twifag

Twilight wasn't THE MAIN character. Go watch any other episode in any season that isn't a season bookend. She is a driving force, and the Element of Magic, but this isn't The Twilight Sparkle Show. It never was. That's like saying Superman is the main character in Justice League, and Leonardo is the main character of TMNT. They're central focus and lead the teams, but they're not THE lead, in the sense of Star Wars being the story of the Skywalker bloodline.

>so you dont even have a valid opinion, you just assume youre correct.
>howdoyouknowit'sshititisn'tevenoutyet.jpg
People are allowed to make judgements based off of what they see. If I find many shitty premises, and watch the episode and find out it's shit, why would I waste my time going out of my way to watch another one I deem shitty?

>but lately you have this group searing season 1 and 2 were perfect and scrutinizing every tiny flaw in later seasons.
Except you missed my point too, dipshit. All you see is "They don't like the current season, THEY MUST BE A NOSTALGIA FAG!" You're just as obnoxious in your grouping as the people you claim you hate.

You do realize people have been saying that, all the time, not just this thread, but it's most often disregarded as "You're not real fans!"

Not just here, but I recall that thread about Tirek's fight, and a lot of people explained what they didn't like about it, and all the counter response given was just shitposting about how they're not real fans, or about how they enjoy people's hate tears or some shit. Basically, same thing what's going on here.

This isn't about specifically season 6, you asked about reasons people don't like the series, and you were given them, and you can't comprehend that simple fact.

>whats your favorite season anon?
I don't have a favorite season, because unlike most people such as yourself who want to turn this into some type of Season Wars, I only like to group what enjoy. But I will tell you my absolute favorite episode is from Season 5, and my second favorite is from Season 4. I imagine if I told you what they were, you'd just go full ad hom about my favorite pony.

>im a spikefag
Ah, that explains everything.

>>27987966
Twilight has had heavy focus on her arc and character, yes, but to say ALL of the focus is on her is just wrongly proportioned. There are far more episodes centered around every other character and most of these episodes haven't been bad in representation of them. As far as starlight's design, I'm not pulling a card, I'm stating a fact and I never said she looked god tier. All I'm saying is it's left up to interpretation and I think she looks fine.

Honestly I don't even feel like Twilight has an arc. Like it just feels like wings were slapped on with no development. Especially since S2 really changed the focus from Twilight writing letters to everyone doing so. My point is stuff like that is the reason it feels so bad and out of place when it suddenly becomes a Twilight show for every major plot.

>All I'm saying is it's left up to interpretation and I think she looks fine.
Fine, but considering the point to bring up was "shitty character designs" as the anon brought up himself, and the other anon asked for specific examples, it was only fair that I brought up a design I felt to be crap.

Honest question.

>>27988106
>Hasbro just dumps the shit over and says "fuck it, who cares about making it all fit, bring in the money".
I'm going to argue against that, because I don't even think it's Hasbro's fault, it's really the fault of the writers who can't keep up with the toy mandates and just keep writing stuff and throwing it out the window.

Other Hasbro properties have done a fine job with toy mandates, the best example I've seen is Transformers Beast Wars. It can be done. The problem is the writers who have no idea how to handle it.

Take for example Rainbow Power, teased for an entire season, thrown into a finale like some Super Sayian crap, then never seen again. Honestly I blame that more on the writers doing a poor job introducing it, rather than Hasbro shitting over everything. The show is a toy commercial, it's the god damn job of the writers to introduce things well. They're the ones doing a crappy job.

So now if you think that's vague and bullshit, care to say how it is justified to not work out Cadence? isn't she important? doesn't she rule a whole motherufcking empire? Doesn't this show igolize princesses? then why she isn't given attention? cause sthey don't give a fuck, because she isn't popular. Other shows simply kill such character or get rid of it completely. She has no reason to exist anymore.

True, but I am allowed to say "This looks like shit and I have no interest in it for reasons X, Y, and Z." I may be proven wrong, as has been the case some times, and vice versa, but if that's how I feel, why should I watch the episode religiously?

Or maybe I'm a Pinkiefag, you can say how obnoxious she is and insult me. Or maybe I'll use a smug Rarity reaction image to make you think she's my favorite.

Actually, that's a good one. Since you are a Spikefag, why don't you just assume me to be a Rarifag and am merely salty because my waifu is a whore?

You apparently can't tell the difference between "Not watching the show religiously" and "Not watching the show at all". Not everyone feels the need to stay absolutely up to date on everything. And some people are content watching reruns.

>which season do you think did the best job overall anon?
Except I'd rather judge on an episode to episode basis. While I can give overall opinions on how seasons were, I can't really pic a season as my favorite if my favorite episodes aren't in it, and I can't pick my favorite episodes' seasons as favorites because I have other issues with them. If anything, with that system, S1 may rank on the same level as S4 on completely different aspects. Who says there needs to be a favorite when clearly episodes are what matter, not the season.

>thats nice. completely irrelevant to your favorite season.
I fail to see how it's irrelevant considering how I look at things as I just said.

>when you see things, you get to judge things, right anon?
Excellent job attempting to use my words against me. You would have had me if you were actually arguing against a point I made rather than "Ew nostalgiafag" arguments you keep making up in your head.

>if youd like the truth of the matter, i dont judge peoples opinions based on their favorite characters.
No. You clearly judge them based off of the fictional worlds you created in your head. You see someone who as issues with the show as nothing more than a nostalgiafag who clearly favors S1 over absolutely everything and treats it as an absolute for the series.

> Discord relevancy

I don't even know what that means.

> can't decide

The show has always struck a balance. It is a strength that it can do some of each. It keeps the slice of life from being boring and the adventure from being uncomfortable.

> parodying characters

What? You mean characters imitating each other? Friends do that all the time. Joking around makes the friendship seem real.

> no conflict

> Starlight trying to get a fresh start after a rough past.
> Twilight learning to become a teacher rather than student.
> Dash finding her place on the Wonderbolts
> The CMC no longer being together all the time.

>>27987555
>>27987563
Both of these

Lots of people have either grown out of the show and stopped watching, or became cynical about it, and instead of leaving the fandom like a normal person they choose to stick around because it's the only piece of identity they have

And in doing such, seeing other people continue to enjoy MLP and talk about new episodes enrages them because they can't relate and because it takes away from their horrible fanfiction that they desperately want circle jerk praise for since they are so much more talented than the people on the show

>>27987861

Other anon here, do you have your list of episodes yet? Remember, the bar is 7/10 or higher, so really it's just a list of episodes that you'd consider to be at a minimum good. For example, here's my list of the most recent 7/10 or better episodes:

Flutter Brutter
The Saddle Row Review
A Hearth's Warming Tale
No Second Prances
Gauntlet of Fire

I'm not him, moron. Stop thinking the world revolves around you.

I miss the times when the CMC had speaking roles and showed up outside of their own episodes, and had more than 2 per season. It felt like it was only last year, that they still existed.

>>27988942
>So for example, if Saddle Row Review, which was objectively the best episode this season isn't on your list, then I can avoid ever replying to you again.
You want to avoid things that don't line up with your opinions? Don't you realize how stupid that sounds?

I do think Saddle Row is the best episode of the season, but what if I didn't? You just disregard it because it doesn't conform to your safe space beliefs?

This is cancerous, this pretend belief that if people aren't religious fanatics of the series as others, that it's a problem. Not everyone needs to be infatuated with the series, other opinions are allowed to exist and they don't have to conform to your safe space circlejerk.

And for the record, Spice Up Your Life and Gift of Maud Pie in addition to Saddle Row.

>>27991474
SRR isn't my favorite this season you ass. It consistently polls above every other episode. I just want to avoid someone edgy enough to write all of season 6, SRR included, as shit. There's no point in engaging with someone that cynical, because they'll act like a douchecanoe regardless of what anyone says to them.

Also, I can't resist:

>Gift of Maud Pie
Literally the most overrated episode this season. It only got high marks because it stood out as OK amongst a bunch of mediocre episodes that kicked off season 6. It's poll numbers have progressively fallen as better episodes aired. If you think that episode was above 6/10 then you're far more of a hasdrone than anyone else ITT.

>>27991513
You're right. I may be exaggerating just a little bit.

I'm still unsatisfied, though. Even their involvement in The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows was nice, and now two of them have only had real speaking roles in one episode so far, which ended on a vague note where you don't even know what they're supposed to be doing now. You can't just say "we'll be doing different stuff now, things will never be the same" then disappear for 6 months.

She never acted childish.
>>27988391
And yet, she had no flaws. All of Faust's characters have noticeable flaws, but Cadence has none.

It's almost like the writers are scared of giving her a flaw. Kind of like how the waifu stealers from EqG (aka Monster High ripoff) were presented. Without flaws. Like it's a corporate mandate or something because they want to sell the ideal of a perfect, photoshopped Barbie role-model or boyfriend Ken doll to little girls. Exactly what Faust hated and fought against.

And Cadence was modified from her unicorn form to become a perfect alicorn just as Faust left all involvement at the finale of S2. It's almost like the last barrier to a corporate mandate just fell to the side.

It's not obvious what had happened. It never is. You just have to put the pieces together.

Cadence was a flawless plot device. So too were the EqG waifu stealers. And the baby as well. At least the writers were decent enough to place the cancer in the Crystal Kingdom/Doug World so it shows that even they still have some basic fucking talent.

Rate my opinion:

I don't believe that the show got shitty, that the writers "don't care", or things like that. But I will admit that the same excitement that I had for the show. I like the show, but it doesn't have that initial spark it gave me back when I joined late in 2013.

I have come to the conclusion that the show hasn't gotten worse. We have only gotten more used to being horsefuckers, and we kind of passed the honeymoon effect of the show and the community. It's still good, we're just a little more "settled in".

>>27992331
I didn't say the episode was bad, I just found it amusing that you picked Gift of Maud Pie of all the episodes out of season 6 to bestow a 7/10 or better upon. It's not a bad episode at all, but there are several other episodes that were significantly better than it, and general opinions of it have soured as more time passed. Watching you go full autismo ranting about people still liking the show and then being so charitable to a 6/10 episode is downright hilarious. It's like if I asked you to pick your favorite season 1 episode and you went with A Bird in the Hoof. Either you're secretly a total Hasdrone, and just loath yourself, you have no discerning taste at all and just make it up at random as you go along, or you get off on whining. The last two would certainly explain a lot.

In your opinion.

Which, as is already established from my perspective, I definitely do not have your opinion. And just because the /mlp/ hivemind you think you're a part of shares your opinion, doesn't make it mine.

>Watching you go full autismo ranting about people still liking the show and then being so charitable to a 6/10 episode is downright hilarious.
Guess what dipshit, I was never >>27987931 or any of the above. I only started at >>27988912, and at >>27991474 and >>27992331 because I thought it was ridiculous that you wanted people to give you their rankings so you can judge their taste, just as you complain about others. I've just been calling out your shit because you want this to be a safe space that kicks out anyone who isn't part of the hivemind. Whoever you demanded the episodes from still hasn't replied to you. And I figured judging by your first response to me, you would just keep pestering me assuming I was him.

But again, you seem to have this belief that everyone in /mlp/ is either part of the pro-show hivemind, or against show hivemind with no middle ground. It's fucking autistic that you're only capable of classifying people as either one way or the other, and can't fucking understand that some people have different opinions of the show, and would rather just lump everyone as "They're just fandumb haters! >:( "

>the show lost the spark
No, you just discovered how emotions works, example:
>normal
>won U$ 1 billion
>happy
>time goes by
>return to normal status

>repetition
No, they are showing another face of some past lessons, in a genial way considering the target and Hasbro's restrictions.
You can see how the restrictions works seeing the leak assets and old interviews about the lore and what was planned. They can't just put your fanfictions and headcanons on screen.
Also many old ideas were used in the following seasons.

>Any sort of direction the show once had is completely gone.
The show had ONE purpose and that was a toyline tell lessons for kids.

>the staffs don't care
>the writers are bad
Try to know the writing process (of many shows) before saying such shits. Reminder the restriction and that they have to follow what Hasbro's desires.
If you're an "writer" and "can do better" try ask to some staff on twitter if your pilot would be aproved in an hypothetical situation or what kind of content is more rejected in the creation process.

>u're hasdrone faggot
Since very begin the product was Hasbro's shit. So if you used to like it, you used to swallow Hasbro's shit.
Staffs just make it enjoyable, till today they keep turning the Hasbro's crazy shit ideas into something nice.
That makes MLP impressive.

>the lessons doesn't apply to me
You're a kid or have no life. Adults already know all the lessons, MLP just remind them in a nice way, that's was another impressive thing on this cartoon.

nice shill

Why bother explaining? The audience is peaking and they are selling toys like water. The show will not die because of the negativity of 10 angry guys.

There's nothing wrong in posting hot opinions in this thread.
Also, boring night with porn thread destroyed by summer.

>>27998904
I don't get it.
Are you saying the shit is shit shit since ever then?

>>27998893
Do you even think before you post?
Look at the fucking ratings for the show, it's abyssmal.
PewDiePie gets double to triple the viewership whenever he shits out a new video compared to the current state of the show's ratings.

Ratings matter less than toy sales. Hasbro's girl department income has been increasing despite flagging EqG sales.

He is right you know. The machine can't be stopped, not anymore.
The show may be cancelled, but they will keep releasing plastic garbage.
Hasbro won, we lost. It is over.
