At this point, what needs to happen in season 7 for the show to be redeemed, /mlp/?

SEVEN SEASONS EACH OF 26 EPISODES - ALL WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY Lauren Faust.
>>29874965
haven't watched the episode yet, but wasn't that suppose to happen in the premiere? Starlight graduating and leaving ponyville?
>>29875096
This

>>29874955
Apple parents confirmed dead in a feels-heavy episode, Young Celestia & Luna flashback episode, Starswirl finally appears, Tree of Harmony and Twilight's Cutie Mark explained.
In effect, we need some big fucking lore and/or feels stuff.
>>29875273
It was a cop-out. She ends up staying.
>>29874955
They didn't fuck up with S7's premiere. Instead of going for Dragonball levels of ever-increasing badguys, it was ponies being pony.
If this continues, it's the right direction IMHO.
>>29875096
7 years of suffering, undo all of them! Undo all of them now!
>>29875341
I see...
>>29875323
The Celestia part of the premiere gave us some interesting Celestia-as-chess-player thoughts. Knowing what we know now (that Celestia knew what the Mane 6's cutiemarks looked like vis-a-vis the Tree of Harmony and she personally made sure they were working together for her celebration just before NMM returned, books handily being in small town library/hidden in secret panels ala the Castle of the Two Sisters, etc. etc.), it makes Celestia's seeming whimsical drop of Twilight into Ponyville make far more sense than we'd have known.
Plus, you know having a secret agent (who at the time was NOT retired, this is pre-Tartarus release so the Bugbear Incident hasn't happened) in the background keeping an eye on them. Sweetie Drops being in the shot was not a coincidence.

>lore and/or feels stuff
don't believe there will be anything but slice of life bullshit festering this season. Hope you'll enjoy those 8 episodes of "Look! We're visiting manehattan...again!"
>>29874955
Poochie needs to fucking die. No, not go away or be written off the show somehow, just die, plain and simple.
>>29875937
this will never happen though. Glim had 7 episodes dedicated to her in season 6. She will most likely have even more in season 7
Nyx to be canon
>>29875096
Lauren Faust wrote like 5 episodes maximum when she was actually working on the series
>>29876934
Less actually, she wrote the pilot and co wrote Ticket Master, that's it.
>>29874955
remove glimmer

>>29876956
You have no idea how a cartoon show works, do you? You only follow 1 vision in order to keep the consistency.
Something this fandom really doesn't understand when they shove 50 people into a project and each one of them wants a different execution on the same idea.
>>29874965
Sorry lad, the board has left you
It's over Anakin, I have the high ground
>>29876835
>Glim had 7 episodes dedicated to her in season 6
She had 3
Twilight to become aware of her own flaws.
>>29877295
Also, removed Twilight's wings.
I really liked todays episodes.
>>29876835
She won't get any more episodes by Season 8, hopefully, seeing as they now know the backlash. Season 6 and 7 were produced at the same time and that's why they're both shit.
>>29878831
This, in all honesty
Cut down on the number of alicorn princesses by about 50%
>>29877491
Why do the two parters not count?
>>29874955
start generation 4.5
>>29875440
not a big fan of harvick bird (or whatever the show was called) but shit, that's some heavy breakdown
>>29874955
>what needs to happen to redeem the show?
get rid of Glimmer's Mary Sue writing. I don't much care for her, I'll admit, I thought she was a good villain and had a 'meh' redemption arc, but she's gone full fucking mary sue on us.
>BUT BUT BUT SHE'S A ULTRA SUPER POWRFUL UNCIRON
no, she's not. Her talent is magic, but it's completely bullshit for her to take on the Changelings without magic, and win. It's also bullshit for her to challenge an Alicorn, said alicorn being taught personally by a millenia-old Princess. Her character is poorly written from the start, and instead of at least learning and growing she instead fucks everything up and is completely unrepentant.
>BUT BUT BUT SHE APOLOGIZED! YOU SAW IT! LOOK! SEE!
It doesn't matter, Twilight (who has taken a back seat behind Ms. Mary Sue) has changed and grew as the story progressed, she's actually changed for the better. Glimmer hasn't shown any character development.
>BUT BUT BUT SHE'S ONLY BEEN HERE FOR LESS THAN A SEASON! YOU NEED MORE THAN A SEASON TO DEVELOP A CHARACTER!
bullshit. Twilight was fleshed out as an awkward, young unicorn with little knowledge of society as a whole. They did that in a few episodes, and by the end of Season 3 they showed her ascension to Alicorn-hood with the full support of Ponyville, (who, otherwise, would not acknowledge her if she stayed the same shy unicorn). It also fleshed out her friends as both characters and large parts of the show- at this point Applejack's lines and contribution is just "Yeehaw, apples" Rainbow Dash is "Well, I'm fast", Fluttershy is bipolar as fuck without ANY redeeming qualities, Rarity is "TeeHee fashion", and Pinkie is stupid comedic relief without anything else to support her as a character.
tl:dr git gud
>>29877460
No kidding >>29867531
>>29874955
nothing. the show is fine.
>>29874955
Panel 2 and 4 are definitley a 1911... Panel 3 is not, especially with that double action trigger... Maybe a BHP?
