I don't think the series would have necessarily been better

Yeah, Faust is the George Lucas of animation.

Twilight getting wings was the biggest blunder in the show.

I don't know. I think the current writers are like Michael Bay. Sure, you got all the action, memes, the wacky world, but nothing to really bring it down to earth, tie it together and go forward in a coherent direction.

I'm not saying it's all necessarily bad, just a hot mess.

I like Faust a lot (certainly more than the current writers), but unpopular opinion: Larson handled things better. He seems to have more sense of scope, of conceptual grit without necessarily edginess, and of balancing the long-term story ideas with the micro-level stuff. He understands both pathos and cheekiness. (Maybe the fact that he has more time under his belt is influencing my thoughts here.)

That said, Lauren will always occupy a special place for coming up with the world and being the driving force behind its style and feel. But things like maintaining a vast, intricate fantasy setting and coherent continuity -- I suspect maybe she isn't as interested in those things as she is in a surface-level magical girl storybook. That's not inherently bad; it's the world and characters we fell in love with, after all. I just feel that maybe MLP as a setting was allowed to grow in ways that it wouldn't have otherwise.
