S4E1 was where the quality went down massively. S3 was noticeably lacking in good episodes like S2 but I held out hope the show would find its way, but the S4 premier pretty much sealed the deal.
>>
From worst to greatest:
S3 > S6 > S4 > S5 > S1 > S2

Greatest to worst:
RR > LoE > FsG > EqG

If you argue this you're basically what's wrong with the show.

For me it was definitely season 6. I could enjoy every previous season, but season 6 was a pain. New writers who had never watched the show,a useless hack as story editor, and a director whose only concern is to write shit on Twitter instead of doing his fucking work killed the show for me. I wish I had never watched this mess, I loved season 5 and I wish I could keep that feeling, but I hated season 6 too much.

Everyone in this thread is a fucking idiot and the very reason why this board is cancerous and full of immature retards.

The correct answer is obviously the very first scene in Return Of Harmony when the cutie mark crusaders are fighting over nothing and when Cheerilee says "World famous Canterlot garden" which did not fucking exist and Faust or anyone with a half brain would not make Discord a statue in the middle of the goddamn castle owned by Celestia.
The exact fucking moment that Cheerilee opens her mouth, everything goes to shit.

Take your unnamed Flower Smiles grape pony and shove her down your anus where she belongs, dumbest, ugliest fucking pony. Teachers should be educated under my foot because clearly the idea of only letting intellectuals teach has been thrown down the toilet together with this whole cartoon show.

Canterlot Wedding. It in itself wasn't awful, but it set the stage for a lotta shit we're stuck with now.

>Truly marked the start of the Mane 5 never doing shit ever again
>At the same time it's when Twilight started to get on a pedastal
>The introduction of more action-y stuff and fighting
>Marked the start of continously making Celestia and Luna useless (before they just weren't around, but they never were quickly defeated like they always are now).

>The Elements of Harmony are not even used, Generosity, Kindness, Loyalty, Honesty and Laughter continue to mean less in the show until they're phased out.

Canterlot Wedding in itself wasn't awful, but it can definitely be referred to as the start of a lot of this nonsense that's causing problems now.

You don't just change a show's staff without expecting it to have an impact, especially when the current director happens to be a fat guy w/o experience outside of a single, run-of-the-mill cartoon and who's main concern is posting random crap on twitter to harvest praises and followers by everyone else's work.

I'm not saying Faust's departure automatically fucked up the show. I'm saying that Faust leaving and having two hacks replacing her was what definitely fucked up the show.

You can tell that Hasbro gives so little of a fuck about the people they've hired that they're willing to let one of these idiots type out on Twitter "Go fuck yourself". If this was any other company not only would you get instantly fired, but you'd be sued for making the company look bad. You'd be in debt for the rest of your life and not even selling your house would be enough.

Jesus Christ where the hell do I sign up as supreme director supervisor of this show? I want to be an asshole executive who just grabs the scripts from the writers hands and tells them to "respect muh talentless hack writing" while I get paid for not letting people do their job.

The working standards for Hasbro's franchises are abysmal and punishable by law.

Is when show staff became entirely corrupted by SJW just like the comics and all plot or character development became a cudgel with which to attack white males. Oh you guys like Tracer the best? WELL SHE'S A LESBIAN NOW DURR HURR PETTY AS FUCK

>>29109030
I can tell that FiM became an immediate hit thanks to Faust and Renzetti's absurdly high standards, as they COULD have winged it and the show still would have been popular. Instead they poured their very soul into their job and kept fighting to prevent Hasbro from doing dumb things and instead add more of their own stuff there, like the abundance of male characters, genderless slapstick comedy, varied body types instead of the same model, etc.

Miller was working along Faust and Renzetti since S01, but both of them were holding his hand all the time. This season he got full directing control and it shows, plus S05 gave us Miller's own episode (Princess Spike) where he worried more about giving a cameo to his buttbuddies Cook and price rather than paying attention to the story itself and as a result it was labaled as one of the dumbest episodes of the entire G4 run.

Faithful to his style, Miller promised to care some more about his work and then backpedales and turned FiM into GlimGlam and Sparkler's show. (For little girls only, fool!)

Yeah, as if Jim would have the balls to crawl outside of his tiny safe zone.

Even when he went to Equestria Daily to apply damage control for his "Go fuck yourself" he was hiding behind of the modstaff and a LOT of dissenting comments were deleted.

He's fat, he's bald, he's single, he's a 40-year old loser who will spend another Chrismas alone with nothing but a decrepit dog as his only company. Twitter's praises is what literally keeps him from killing himself.

What we know for sure is that he lurks here now and then, since he's familiar with the local lingo, liker hasdrones, Meghandroid, shills and other stuff he bitched and bitched about.

Probably because nice song and holiday crutch aside, these episodes really had nothing else to offer?

No twists, no surprises, nothing: just a linear trip from point A to point B and that's it.

Hate me if you want.
I've watched the whole show multiple times now and I really think the newer seasons are the best. Whether or not they're as good as Lauren Faust could have made them, they still manage a good amount of character and story development, with enough action and lore for a decent show.

If he started the show and it was exactly the same as it is now, you'd all be lining up to suck his balls.

Okay, so someone trying to prove themselves by being what they think other people want them to be because they don't realize that relaxing and doing what they do best.

I'm not saying every episode in the newer seasons were great, but they manage to still have good morals without the "Dear Princess Celestia" at the end of every episode.

The idea of someone settling into a situation they aren't familiar with instead of freaking out and fucking up isn't bad.
The problem was that the situation Dash was supposed to be settling into was fucked up, and the episode just went along with it like it was okay.

I unironically think that Dave Rapp is the worst writer on the show. Yeah, even worse that Neal. Newbie Dash was stupid, Flutter Brutter was stupid, WtAL was stupid. All episodes were terribly written. I understand what he tried to do, but the story telling was atrocious.
Newbie Dash, for example, was meant as an episode helping Dash to overcome her past. After the episode, ie, in Top Bolt, they keep on calling her Crash and that's not a problem for her anymore. That's actually great. Getting over something that hurts you is a really positive thing. The problem with Rapp is, he uses that absolutely awful cringe humor in everything he writes. Some people like that kind of humor, that's why half of the board loves that fucker. But I think that laughing at someone who's having a bad time is terrible and definitely not what I want to see in this show. I fucking hate Dave Rapp.

>>29113684
But it was a stupid episode, Jim.

There's a difference between making a character unlikeable as a plot point and then making him a fucking sociopath with all negative sterotypes rolled into a quadruped pile of fail.

We get it, he's supposed to be unlikeable but you fucked up and made him way too unlikeable so his redemption STILL made him unlikeable.

Oh, boy, here we're again. Do you feel personally attacked because I have a different taste? I didn't say that I hated Dave Rapp's fans, I said that I hate him.

>>29113684
Fluttershy is uncharacteristically bitchy, brother out of nowhere again, plot doesn't match the nature/setting of the show (Does Fluttershy even have a job?), they tried to make Zephyr too unlikable, moral of episode doesn't even properly handle a lesson about failure - it just says if you actually try you'll be fine, episode does not feel enjoyable for both a younger and older audience.

Flutter Brutter has no right being a canonical episode, fuck nu writers.

it hasn't changed at all since the beginning, it just follows its natural progression

A Canterlot Wedding. It is both the high water mark of the show and where everything started to go wrong. It was the start of Hasbro’s executive meddling and the its success gave led them back into the bad old habits that led them to ruin with G3.75.

They put both feet on a slippery slope. Once a third alicorn appeared there was no stopping them from streaming in like muslim refugees into germany.

This would have been my answer.

The third alicorn was the original un-Faustening.
>>
>>29119666
The thing about "the show going to shit" means there were no good episodes after that point.

S3 had some good episodes, unlike everything after MMC.

ACW was the 93 bombing equivalent, MMC was the 9/11.

This, I was here before and after Season 3 final. From there on, after Faust came, and Scruffy raped this board. It has all been down hill since. We lived a golden age, saw the glory that was once 4chan, that had died everywhere else but somehow revived on /mlp/. It's all gone now, days of ruin are all that await us now.

Define "good"

If your definition of "good" stands for "Less shittier than expected" then we have a problem.

It's just sad that it's a slow decay more than a severe decline. More people would leave the ride sooner and stop wasting their time here.

Don't get me wrong, it is a noticeable decline; but the other Faust-picked writers that were still there tried to salvage it. It's when they were phased out that the show became more and more crap. Which came to a head at S6 where the highs get lower and the lows become preschool garbage.

That's not to say that it is complete garbage, but there's only scenes that I liked compared to even S4 and S5 when I would like entire episodes from the seasons. I know! Entire episodes that weren't complete shit!

Also,
>not liking actiony stuff
I don't mind it. Hell, the ursa minor and trixie showoff scenes were pretty good, mixing action with comedy. You may like action, just not uninspired action.
