Can we all finally come together, in a moment of honest self reflection, and admit to ourselves that when we get angry about the show failing to meet our expectations we're just being giant, pompous douchebags? I loved this episode, but it was difficult to watch because of how accurately it portrayed the idiots I see criticizing the staff on Twitter day in and day out. I even recognized the cancer within myself. That episode was a brutal mirror.

>>28059821
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET THE HELL OUT YOU FUCKING HASDRONE

Everyone who fails to see the show as anything but an obnoxious, pathetic, parodic attempt at grabbing every retard's attention is the biggest douchebag in the world. The most autistic, uncaring, disgusting pile of unaborted fetus who thinks drowning puppies in the river is fun and cute.

You disgust meeeeeeeeee. Go to Hell and stay there.

I've been in a lot of anime conventions and I don't think I've heard people discuss their favorite shows with a passion.

I don't think it's specifically a stab at the fans who have ridiculous expectations, but rather them using the "comic book nerd who overanalyzes everything and has impossible standards" trope, which applies to not just the MLP fandom, but virtually every other work that has dedicated fans.

I like that they didn't outright made the Quibble character a moron, and even show he has an impressive knowledge and understanding of storytelling, but I still think the episode was at its heart a cheap copout dealing with criticism that the show has gone downhill and in a different direction than what made it popular in the first place.

The convention weirdness was pretty funny, though.
>>
>>28059821
Huh. I didn't even notice that the anime ponies put in another appearance this episode.
>>
>>28059844
I know, right? Everything that could be said has been said after four days. That's why I've been in My Massive Pony since Sunday.

>>28059856
It looked exactly like the conventions I've been to.
>>
>>28059871
>he has an impressive knowledge and understanding of storytelling
Anon, you are Quibble. The episode was a joke at your expense specifically. How are you this oblivious?
>>
>>28059881

Me specifically? That's awesome. Why isn't my name in the credits?
>>
>>28059876
American conventions?
>>
>>28059821
What are you talking about?
The episode's moral was, who need to care about what other fans think when writers think every fans are equally pathetic.
>>
>>28059821
Is it really so much cancer on twitter? I do not use it cause it reeks with normalfaggotry and attention whoring.

Fans ARE pathetic. This self awareness is my salvation.

>>28059919
Look up Murrison some time.
>>
>>28059919
Twitter, like all social media platforms, is a reeking pit of mundanity, inanity, and awkwardness. You do well to avoid it.
>>
>>28059940
Well, if that self awareness is helping you that's great, but you know it's okay to feel or say "this is bad" right?
like how Rarity treated that gourmet pony in Spice Up Your Life by stating "your work is horrible"
>>
>>28060066
Rarity was in a position to help the gourmet pony. You're not in a position to help the writers.
>>
>>28060076
When I said gourmet pony I was talking about the pony evaluating the restaurants, not the ponies working in the restaurant.

>show has gone downhill
Well that criticism is outright stupid, the nadir of the show was season 3.

>show going in a different direction
That was true for season 4 and season 5, to be sure. But this season the show has lately reverted to its roots, with the small modification that the writing is done more in the Disney-Pixar style of having a two-tiered story that will impart a basic lesson for kids, like 'you can be friends with someone even if you passionately disagree about something' and a meta lesson for the adults, like 'look, all of you can agree that you like this show. You don't agree on why, on which character is your favorite, or on anything else, really, but there's no reason you can't all get along.'

That formula has delivered high quality episodes at a frequency that nobody expected. This was supposed to be the bitter end, the sad spiral of a show past its prime. Instead it's the dawn of a bright future.

No. You're shit, the shows shit, the writers are shit and Faust is the only one who liked the show because I'm a man child that lives in my parents basement and can't handle any change.

Wow, I never thought I'd see the day when /mlp/ identified with the fedora wearing, nitpicking brony crowd and get flank flustered over said crowd getting bantered.

it wasn't about US specifically, you fucking twit

>pure coincidence
What is it like being this naive?
>>
>>28059821
I finally got to watch this episode today. And I fucking love it. This while I recently said I was having a hard time getting to watch the show again (and frankly I don't think it's going to be really easy to recapture the magic feeling again).

But this episode was amazingly self aware and Quibble was a fun new character too.

I'd give it 9.5/10
>>
>>28062152
I'm not damage controlling, you people read way too much into the show
>>28062161
never been in any other fandom, have you?
>>
>>28062227
The fact that the humor can apply to fandoms generally doesn't preclude the possibility that the writers were poking fun at a specific fandom, namely theirs.

>N-no it is totally impossible that they were making fun of you, I swear

Tripcode and a Tweet about it or you get no (you)s from here on out.

On the very tiny offchance that it is the episode could easily be interpreted as being about the MLP fandom, especially with the focus some people have on MMC. Though it's obviously got a message about fandom in general as well.
>>
>>28062812
It IS about the MLP fandom.
It ISN'T Jim.

If some of the users here were to look at themselves, they would retreat even further into their fetish fantasy threads.
>>
>>28063192
No, looking into oneself is the way out of the fetish threads.
>>
>>28059821
I can't wait to see what they do next year after this episode. It blew Slice of Life right out.
>>
>>28059821
Go home, Big Jim.

>>28065028
It's the dark side of Slice of Life.

wow, you truly are beyond help. Have you no dignity or love for yourself? Get some self-respect and grow a spine, faggot

For real? I don't think this image will never not make me laugh. Everything from the situation, the image on the body pillow to their expressions is just perfect.
