>The show does forgettable slice of life that ultimately has no impact most of the time
>The comic writers who are even bigger hacks than the show writers get to mangle to lore and the show won't ever touch it
Why is it this way?

The series has become like Sonic, in that they've done so much that it's essentially a "Pick and Choose your own continuity" at this point.
>>29431842
Show writers literally don't care anymore about the show

Whoa watch it OP. Anons don't take kindly to anyone who speak negatively about the current state of the show and will think you're just baiting.
>>29432958
90% thinks the show is shit.
The remaining 10 only agrees it went downhill at most.

I point the finger at Faust.
She was in charge at the beginning and failed to do her job.
The lore, continuity, family relationships and other background should have been written in stone before the first episode was even written. Instead she half-assed it. There seems to be no 'continuity bible' or supervision over scripts.
But seriously, what do you expect? It's a 22-minute toy commercial. Hasbro is not in the business of creating quality art...their business is selling plastic crap to 6-year olds. It doesn't need to be good, so why spend the money on quality staff? They hired the cheapest writers they could get to create a cheap product.
The fact that they made something fapworthy was purely accidental and it's the ONLY reason the adult fandom got so big.
Don't sweat it too much. It was never meant to be taken seriously. Just clop and enjoy it for what it's worth.

>mangle the lore
The comics did a better job with King Sombra than The Crystal Empire. Deal with it, butthurt canonfag.

>Blame Faust because she wasn't specific enough about her vision
In retrospect, this is a legit complaint.

>blaming Faust because she wasn't specific enough about her vision
>not blaming some (not all) of the writers because they would've done jack shit even if she did cross every t and dot every i
>not blaming hasbro for never putting down a suffering horse as long as it shits dollar bills
There's a host of problems. But Faust didn't (and shouldn't) give a shit about continuity, and instead rightly chose to pick the battle of keeping the characters somewhat consistent with some cool shit that kids may like.
Hasbro whipped the MLP team with a half year production schedule instead of a full year, so I'm surprised that Faust could do the shit she did. It's just sad that anons nowadays will just call me faustfag because I actually gave a shit about the show, while not being so fucking serious that I became a full on brownie.
You want coherent lore? Write a fanfic about your headcannons elsewhere.

Because the target audience of the show is still easily manipulated little girls, while the target audience of they show is autismo spergo bronies that attend cons and buy every single piece of merchandise from the franchise they can get their hands on.

Fuck me

A bunch of meaningless, forgettable SoLs - that what's the show has always been, that's what got it successful, so that's what they kept doing. You can't say "anymore" if they never did.
Reminder that the problem isn't slice of life or adventure episodes, it's Hasbro forcing garbage into the scripts.
>>29431842
Because the show writers /never/ cared about the lore to begin with and the comic writers mostly have free reign to do whatever they want because the lore that exists is practically irrelevant.
