Quote from: Lady Frostbite on August 05, 2017, 12:15:56 PMThe Brony callouts and references are skin-crawling for me, especially with backgrounders or memes appearing as jokes. Who thought Big Lebowski was a good reference to include?! To be fair, I don't think that was a brony reference - I think that it was more likely included by someone who was a fan of the movie.

I'm in the crowd that's been cool with Princess Twilight from the beginning, but I wish they'd postponed it a little. If the show's going to have 8+ seasons, ending the main character's character arc in season 3 hardly seems like the way to go In fact, it seems all of the mane 6 are done with their arcs at this point. I hope Starlight and Trixie get full main character privileges in season 8, with the mane 6 becoming side characters or something.Also also replacing the Golden Oaks library with the crystal castle playset is just the worst! I'm all for changing the status quo, but the new castle is ugly. The library was a much better fit for Ponyville.

Starlight has issues that go far beyond any of the Six. It would be more interesting to do a spin-off and have her be the next Twilight. She already got the looks for it; pinks, purples and a unicorn - retailers like Toy-wise I wish they would have made more collectible characters or at least make more toys out of the many ponies on the show.We got some randos like that purple snob pony or Pursey Pink instead of speaking secondary characters like Treehugger, Hoity Toity or Gilda. And the nice Playful Ponies designs from the beginning never made it into the show. Like Feathermay or Dewdrop Dazzle. From both a fan and advertising stance it makes no sense to me. Don't keep your toys separate from your toy vehicle.Another toy thing that irks me: butt ugly princesses. Sorry but the new princesses look like gum and lollipops. Their heads are so bulbous and misshapen, and Luna's still got the wrong color scheme. Never was a big fan of the old ones but now they look ridiculous. I don't wish my ponies to look starving. Even the giraffy G2s had more meat on their bones.

Toys-I really dislike the G4.5 designs, with the exception of Twilight as a seapony and the Queen of the Seaponies. The baby seaponies have wall eyes! FiM-I wish Daring Do remained a fictional character in the storyline, as opposed to being the author herself. I feel like Twilight's transition to Princess was rushed and is still incomplete.I wish the villains would stay villains. Friendship doesn't solve everything. I also miss the letters to Princess Celestia. I think the storylines of the other characters would really shine through if those were continued.I am not a fan of the CMCs cutie marks. I feel that there needs to be less background emphasis--less in depth episodes about the background ponies, focus more on the relationships of the mane 6. How their friendships strengthen over time. This part of the plot is lacking...usually episodes focus on one pony at a time, which is great, but how they are all connected is not addressed well enough.Equestria Girls tried really, really hard to be a cross between High School Musical and Harry Potter. It failed miserably. Not a fan of any of it. The only thing I like about FiM are the songs. Those are fun. I think the first few seasons (1-4) did well and I am slowly getting back into season 7. meh
I agree, the Changelings becoming colorful bugdeer really felt like the weakest writing of that season. Chrys had to be written like that so them turning on her would be more plausible and it was silly even for a show in which friendship cures everything.Splitting them into two different hives sounds like a good idea that would have worked perfectly well.I guess it didn't sit well with some viewers that a species was created that HAD to use others to eat. The ponies are vegetarians and I think so is Spike? Even though he really should cook Angel Bunny, but I digress.The Changelings have technically been on a quest for survival and Chrys was acting like a good ruler, finding a perfect food source for them in the adored royals and their people. So in order to actually make her evil they had to give Changelings more options to feed and then have Chrysalis be a butt about it and not wanting to go the peaceful path because... this is FiM and we need to have an antagonist left for the next two-parter.So now I just hope they will give her a few loyal subjects so she can stay the Alien Queen pony instead of Thorax's eventual bugdeer wife
You know I forgot to mention that Flurry Heart reminds me of Poof from Fairly Odd Parents. Reason being, that high pitched giggle and the fact that the fairy baby causes chaos with their new powers and at first it was because they didn't know what they were doing and then they did it and became more chaos.

I'm so glad this irks someone else like it does me. This wasn't a creative thing like Hasbro thinks. The term has already been taken and used for something else. I wish they had made up something.
Which is why I despise Sia pony, because the only point of the character is to be Sia pony. So if you don't know Sia or you're watching an international version of the movie, it's just completely pointless
