I can't be the only one aggravated by nostalgiafags who only seem to be here to shit on the show because "It's bad now".
And yeah, this actually bugs me, as somebody who's favorite seasons were 2, 4 and 6.
>>29524877
I am, but it's funny to see them salty.
Go away, nu/mlp/.

I like you OP
>>29525075

>>29524877
It is annoying, which is why I always share my optimism about the show.
4chan tends to place undue weight on criticism and pessimism so it's up to us to counterbalance that.
>>29524877
Does it aggrivate you because they don't explain why they think that the show is bad now? Or because they think that old seasons were better just because they're older? By the way S2 is pretty much "nostalgiafag" material too. Or are you talking about "S1 only" people?
Also, why no S5? I can understand S3 but 5 and 6 are about the same for me.
Is this in response to that phantom strider fag.
He should have done more research.
>>29524877
No problem, man. You can keep the show with its shitty episodes written by people who have never watched it, we keep the board to talk about the ponies we like, and everyone is happy.
Stopped watching the show since season 3 but I'm all queued up on which new horses are good without having to slog through post season 3 episodes.
>>29525169
>letting others views decide your opinions
>>29525117
Kinda. they really only tend to say "Glimmer did it" and leave it at that. I can see why people don't like her, but as I said, that tends to just be their whole argument. You don't even get something as simple as "they had the most bad episodes out of any other season". It's just "Glimmer did it".
Also no, I'm just talking about the people that hate the latest seasons for no other clear reason than they're the latest seasons, and "good shows know when to quit". I was trying to prove my unbias by clarifying that I did like older seasons.
>>29525107
I completely agree. And honestly I know it shouldn't, but this type of thing hinders my enjoyment of ANY season, and that's one of the reasons it bugs me so much.
>>29525082
>>29524900
>>29524881

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks this.
People having nostalgia for this show is an upsetting reminder of the unyielding passage of time.
>>29525135
He likes the show though.
I honestly thought he was a good critic even before his latest video.
>>29525167
Case in point.
>>29525169
Why did you stop after season 3? I mean, it's widely accepted to be the worst season, and eneryone says season 4 is the second best, so...
Also, I'll be pissed if you say "Twilicorn".
>>29524877
I've been a fan of this show since around S2, I'm still as big of a fan as ever....I don't like some episodes I love others, such is being a fan of something
The people who bitch about the show constantly are not fans, they are bandwaggoners , poseurs, people who though pone was their next trip to relevance but it wasn't and now they are angry at us who legitimately enjoy pone....they must die, they must not be tolerated, this fandom needs to become militant to weed out these people , destroy the fans of the fandom
>>29525211
There's people who automatically dislike everything new, there's also people who defend anything the show does without allowing any criticism, both extremes are hostile and unproductive. It's just the nature of this place. Glimmer memeing is just that, it's annoying sometimes but it can't be helped. There's no doubt that Starlight could be handled better, but the same can be said about all characters.
There's a lot of reasons why newer seasons get shit. Every season has its weak episodes but with so many good ones mediocre eps now can be considered "bad" just because the bar is set pretty high. At this point reusing old ideas is inevitable and that adds to the negativity towards newer seasons. People also get burnt out. I won't lie, I outright skipped some S6 episodes in the beginning but at the same time I thought that its second half was really good.
>be nostalgiafag normally
>not with ponies though
>I even liked season 3 well enough
>just have fun with the show
>Trixie is best pony
>>29524877
I think the show is still fantastic. Season 1 has a lot of charm for me personally, partly due to nostalgia, partly due to it being "the first" and just being so pure and wholesome. Not saying the others aren't, just season 1 has a special charm.
That being said, I dunno if I have a favorite season. I just love the show itself.
>>29525211

In case you're interested in a view from the other side, replying to a "why didn't you like it?" with memes is the natural response when you've tried to give an honest answer a few times and you've always received memes in return.
"Why didn't you like it?" "Because X, Y and Z" "Ha, no, you're butthurt because (completely unrelated meme) lol!"
There's a point where you just stop caring. This kind of discussions isn't about convincing the other, it's about sharing different opinions, if you know that the other gives zero fucks about what you're going to say and he's only waiting to spout his meme, why bother typing?
I had a much better example, but I can't find it right now. This is pretty bad, but you can see what I'm talking about.
>>29524877
They're not going to leave, because 'm-muh ride neber endz'.
Just laugh at them because all they can do is call people who enjoy the show 'jimbeciles' or 'hasdrones'.

i started watching a few days before s1e10 aired, i know because i had time to catch up before the next episode, and i thought nine episodes of ponies would last the rest of the week. i was wrong.
watching s1 again puts me right back there. it's great; i nostalgiafag so hard about it, i go around and check out tunes and videos and stuff i watched back then too. have some winter wrap-up on floppies:

i love the new seasons and i think the show is in an upswing. starlight-as-a-sociopath is an interesting take for me so long as she continues to try to do the right thing. i like her.

Holy fuck, an example outside of "Starlight ruins everything".
I completely disagree with him, but I can at least see his point.
The people I get this response from are almost never memeing or joking. "Glimmer did it" was just me summarizing, but every time, that's what their entire argument is.

*strangles the living shit out of you horseeefuckingidiots*
Unbiased? You call that objective? You mongoloid idiot. Season 1 is a mediocrity and seasons 2-6 are equally bad, do not split hairs with me.
Double Rainboom is no worse than Lesson Zero. Faust never worked on season 2 (but she technically) oh my god what an autistic shit who never got his ass whipped in a long time.
Oh what's the matter? If I insult you then you won't agree me? Bah, you wouldn't agree with a genuine innocent and intelligent soul, let alone someone like me in the first place.
Drop the act you douching hypocritical garbage-spouting political crapheads. If it isn't hypocrism then it's a non-chalant reply: "we're lazy, we're shit, just like this show, deal with it and suck our dicks". You're human trash and you will always be.
I am the one and only critic around these parts with a pure objective mind.
Because I am the only one with enough rage, hope and dissent to still post on this miserable communistic board full of lying , denying idiots. I am the only one stubborn enough to keep randomly doing this, despite how ineffective and stupid it is to argue with an autist instead of punching the retard in the face till he shuts up and learns to pick up his feces and throw it in the toilet where it belongs. At least if you were genuine autists and not just pure assholes and idiots, more like hypocritical assholes who have an obsession for power-tripping, manipulating and playing the victim card. I'd strangle you and bite your neck till you quit breathing. Because animals and insects only learn to do something when you force them to do it, especially simple orders.
I wish I could release you all into the afterlife with a simple click so you stop screeching like bugs.

Hey mind if I comment like a wordy geek on these?
She's also lamer than her Gilda friend, spouting 90s garbage lines since May The Best Pet Win. She almost used the turkey > chicken joke.
They were barely together in most episodes since season 2 to begin with, and the ones where they were.. they kept acting like idiots and assholes to one another, Twilight even said "With friends like you who needs enemies" which tells volumes of what the fuck was the executive thinking of. (Return of Harmony, Hearth's Warming Eve.
Pinkie Pie outright kicked Twilight Sparkle out of the episode Baby Cakes. (Oh Pinkie Pie you're just not fit enough to take care of babies. WHAT? This is a Pinkie Pie episode! get the fuck out of my episode, you smug know it all - know nothing cunt!!) when in fact in season 1 there was never a clear "This is an X pony episode" or .. at the very least they equally shared not only screentime, but importance. Like in Dragonshy, Swarm of the Century, Mare In The Moon, Over A Barrel, etc.
And when they don't hate each other, they act like mental retards to one other (Luna Eclipsed)
Or when they're nowhere near each other they start interacting with secondary characters ( Fancy Pants - Sweet and Elite, Cranky Doodle Donkey - The episode that contained that one gay song about smiles. Princess Cadence and Shining Armor - Canterlot Wedding)
There's various other problems which need a simple and concise sentence, at least that way you know if S2-S6 assholes are looking for an actual explanation of the differences between S1-S2 or are being just fanboying dicks stubbornly keeping their own wrong mentality.
>>29527840
What's wrong with Hearth's Warming Eve? It was just a play.
>>29527880
>It was just a play.
It was more than a play. I think you know that already.
>>29527903
It was literally a play though. Also Twilight saying that "with friends like these" line was after they were memed by Discord.
>>29527941
Listen, I'll let somebody else answer it for you, because I'm horrible at giving sick burns, clear answers and stopping "arguments".
You're a technical point-evading faggot and sadly I'm a technical geek myself so we'd keep each other busy like two faggots jerking off one another. I just don't know how to make somebody shut up and make him put his dick back in his pants.
>>29527971
Well at least you admitted you're horrible, thanks for "jerking me off" though.
>>29527971
you haven't made any points, you've just been really whiny (repeating 'i don't like it!' over and over).
>>29524877
>I can't be the only one aggravated by m elders who only seem to be here to shit on the society because "It's degenerate now".
Fixed.
>>29524877
My favorites were 2 and 5, but I'm still pretty mad about 6. I can agree that people who've hated it for more than a season, or who think it doesn't have good episodes anymore, need to leave.
Does that put us on okay terms?
>>29526535

And yeah, I got nothing against you.
>>29532095
>Why the fuck are they still here
He literally said that has still hope and thinks that next season will be good. He also implied that if he doesn't like season 7, he'll leave. Replies like yours are the reason why it's hard to empathize with people like you.
i'm convinced that it's a hugbox for them. even when the attention it guarantees is negative, it gives them yet another chance to be a snob about something.

I still love the show. S3 was lacking in quality but i liked every season past it.
What I really miss is old /mlp/
Its just oldfags tryna think they important or some gay shit I dunno man the show is fucking awesome still
>>29532176
It's definitely this; they fling shit to try to get a response out of others. Same for every reviewer who looks at the show uncharitably to get their material.
>>29532992
It's definitely something unique and special for the reasons >>29525539 said, but the show couldn't have been just like that forever.

>>29539330
I'm glad they haven't forgotten about her. We need that episode with her and DT to follow up on Crusaders of the Lost Mark.

I mostly agree but season 6 was shit. It was the first time I ever got bored while watching the show.
