Not 100% sure, but I remember this one going over well when it was storytimed.

Anything Fosgitt made.

Again, not sure about this one with other Anons, but I thought it was okay.

This one is great till the last few pages. Then it turns into the second criteria in the OP.

>>30687727
I love how the comics and legend of everfree basically confirm that Pinkie is on a constant acid trip.

>when Price still put all of his effort into the art

>>30687612
I'll do one better and cover both:

Loved - Celestia letting Spike try to get them out of the cage and be a hero even with Celestia being able to solve the problem faster

Pissed - Luna just losing it with Spike and shout him down after asking for his help in the first place with a dragon related problem

Loved - Mayor Mare way of dealing with Applejack when AJ came to city hall to complain about land taxes; latter hinting she could be mayor after the lesson

Pissed - Twilight refusing to back AJ up, even when she was physically assaulted

Loved - the mane 6's involment in the very first arc and how it felt like a grand adventure

Pissed - how the mane 6 barring Twilight got captured so easily by Bug Queen with a wave of magic, twice I think

That one was a great relief after the start of that Friends Forever series.

Not as bad as the S6 finale were she BTFOs everyone, off screen no less

>>30687637
This story deserved to have been adapted as an episode for the cartoon.

>BOHOHOHOOO SO INTELLIGENT XD
As usual the writers from IDW prove to be the most boring, pessimistic, pseudo-intellectual idiots the comic book industry has ever seen.

if anything, comic threads confirm how plain bottom-of-the-barrel dumb everyone here is

"i liked thing because (mountain of text showing how elegantly the whole point of thing sailed right over this guy's head), also I clapped and lol'd heartily at (really really fucking obvious contemporary pop-culture reference)"

>>30689489
Still better then what Marvel and DC are doing at the moment.

>>30687612
is that from the FF#30?
because it's one of the few times where Cadence doesn't act as one dimensional

>>30687685
Reminder his artstyle is fucking fine.
The problem is he is a lazy shit.

>>30687801
The celestia and spike friends forever being so good is the only reason I kept up with the comics as long as I did.

>>30687823
I don't get why people hated the first friends forever so much.

Isn't the Crystal Empire literally unimportant aside from someone keeping the Crystal Ponies happy?

Even Manehatten would be a better post with regards to political clout and respect.

>>30690039
love from CE spreads through entire Equestria

>>30690039
Plus, I don't think it's about political clout. It's about Cadence worrying that Celestia only made her a princess because she's an alicorn and then stuffed her in the middle of nowhere where she can't do any harm.

>>30690039
I think celestia mentioned it as having influence over the ponies throughout Equestria when she was telling Twilight about it for the first time.

>>30689698
>Let's completely trash the pilot of the show!
Try again.

>>30690062

But is that important politically? Any pony could do the job, basically. Hell, even Ponyville has the Friendship Table, which solves actual problems.

>>30690077

>middle of no where
I think that is a worry about political clout, then. If I was a Princess, I'd want to be somewhere important, not a place that I literally should only need to visit on occasion to jab the Crystal Heart with magic.

>>30690089

It's still utterly unimportant. They had to base the Olympics there to give it a reason to exist to the rest of Equestria.

>>30689697
After the first 5, it was extremely hit or miss, with a bunch having no plot to speak of. You'd have better luck clicking the first link after searching the character tags on fimfiction.
