Choosing Starlight over Moondancer as Twilight's student. I know Starlight was a new character they were selling, but the Season 5 premier had made her out to be this dangerous cult leader and the finale made her out to be this vindictive you know what willing to literally destroy the world just to wreck Twilight's friendships. Yet all is forgiven by the end of the episode. What? And even after a season and a half, they still don't know what to do with her as a character. As a student, she has developed her collection of friendships far better than Twilight did. However, her actual character seems stuck like the rest of the main characters.Moondancer as Twilight's student wouldn't have the baggage of her doing a bunch of terrible things and having to worry about a redemption arc. How she had decided to live her life was unhealthy, but she was only hurting herself. Also, since she and Twilight were once friends, there is a basis to build some chemistry between them.And Twilight becoming a princess has been badly handled. It could have been a watershed moment for the show. However, it happened just as they started losing writing talent, it her character has only stagnated. The show has stagnated. Notice they seem to want to devote more time to characters other than the Mane 6? Either it's because the movie is coming up which will feature them heavily or because they've run out of ideas.Actually, here's the biggest one. Letting the show run for 7 (soon to be 8) seasons. It's clearly past its point of relevance.
Yea, I agree with a lot of the things you said.I think definitely the biggest one for me was Twilight becoming a princess. It was so rushed and she wasn't ready for it. Yes, the character had been through many adventures and learned plenty of lessons, but I don't think she was ready to take on a leadership role just yet. Not to mention that SINCE becoming a princess, she has truly stagnated... now we have hardly any Twilight episodes, when she used to be the main character! It really seems to me that they just have no idea what to do with her. She has reached her 'ultimate destiny' so... now what? Her personality has been toned down a whole lot and I find her very bland now. All she seems to do is preach her 'friendship lessons'... And is the world expert on friendship even though... she only hangs out with the 5 ponies and Spike...It's especially bad that it happened only in season 3, and now we are up to season 7! That means she's been a princess for longer than a unicorn. I wouldn't have minded it as the 'end goal' for her if they had decided on a point where they would end the show, you know? And have more build-up to it.Yeah I also agree about Flurry Heart, haha. Didn't really want to see a baby on the show, apart from side characters like the Cakes' babies. However... I do find her very cute x)
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.
Alicorn which I consider an incorrect term since the true term for an alicorn is a unicorn's horn without the unicorn
Reformed Discord - He just doesn't work as a non-villain to me, and the episodes post-his reformation look more at home as an online fanseries done for fun rather than the actual show, in my opinion.
Again I may get some hate but I loved Twilight more when she wasn't a Alicorn which I consider an incorrect term since the true term for an alicorn is a unicorn's horn without the unicorn.
I wish there were fewer villains that stayed irredeemable. Granted G1 did it too, but not as often as this gen does.

Yes I did mean the opposite. My brain is mush.
