Just please, PLEASE don’t make the new franchise shove friendship down our collective throats. Let’s just watch colorful equines go on little girly adventures and sell toys. That’s all I ever want MLP to be.
Alright, so the English version:SpoilerI liked Luster Dawn in the beginning, when she thought friendship was a waste of time. She’s not wrong about any of what she said. Yet Twilight made her weak in the end. Of course this show is going to teach “the magic of friendship” and all that ridiculousness. But I didn’t like how quickly it turned from “friendship is a waste of time and energy” to “oh wait you guys still see each other every year? Yay friendship!” Another thing... Twilight’s voice REALLY did not suit her new form. She still sounds like a tiny little pony, not a majestic regal beast of a horse. Then again, all she controls is friendship so I guess she doesn’t need to have a strong vocal presence to do that. Did...did the real Princesses actually go to that nursing home? Granted I think they simply referred to Silver Shoals as a retirement village of some sort, but let’s get real. It’s a nursing home. Look at Luna! Does she *really* look like she needs to live in an old folks’ home? Lastly, I’m still so glad Cozy Glow got turned to stone. I’ve seen stuff on various other pages where people are unhappy she never got to be redeemed, and that’s exactly why I’m thrilled she didn’t. I love that there are villains that have never been reformed. Like, I enjoy Steven Universe but the constant redeeming villains trope is grating and unrealistic. There are bad people in the world, and you can’t talk or befriend them into submission. I’m happy this series at least acknowledges that fact, where SU tries to paint the world in an overly naive, “love solves everything” kind of light. So I have to give this series credit where credit is due.And now, onward to G5! Just please, PLEASE don’t make the new franchise shove friendship down our collective throats. Let’s just watch colorful equines go on little girly adventures and sell toys. That’s all I ever want MLP to be.
Quote from: Zapper on September 07, 2019, 03:46:38 PMAbout the plot twist...SpoilerWhy did nobody acknowledge that Discord practically raised the dead? People complain about Twilight being too powerful but the chaos guy resurrected a "killed off" villain from the shadow zone like it's no big deal and then got him "killed" again. Back when we thought he was Grogar it made sense because we were to believe Grogar is a necromancer. But now we know Discord is actually a necromancer on top of being already crazy powerful. He is more godlike than any of the Princesses could ever be SpoilerEven though Grogar was never a necromancer in the original series. He was a sorcerer using a powerful object, but none of his powers had anything to do with the dead.And Discord has officially become the worst interpretation of Q, an imp there to torment the character for his sick pleasure. They probably thought this was like the ending of "All Good Things" not realizing it was Picard's actions that led to the anomaly of doom (Q was just displacing him through time). Instead this comes off more like Mxyzptlk. Only Discord won't get whisked off the cornfield if he says or spells his name backwards.Also, this twist is just plain stupid. It's one last middle finger to the older fans as this isn't Grogar but a fake. After Roid Tirek and the radioactive booger, they struck out on references to the past series. Do they hate the legacy of this brand at DHX? And, as I said, Discord has devolved into an imp. It's also a disservice to Twilight and crew that Discord set up a crisis for them to solve instead of this being an actual crisis.Spoiler

Cozy left me wondering where the heck she came from. She had no backstory at all and I think that was a waste.
I guess the next villain after Cozy Glow would be a living teaparty, with episode called "See, We Are Totally Denouncing Girly Things!"
Tirek is probably the worst villain because yeah, his goal was just to be big?

"tissues for dragonflitter* That it's still easy to find the episodes on YouTube amazes me. It feels like they just don't care ha. Funny that FiM lasted through the dawn of copyright coming down on YouTube through the super tricky new copyright system.

If there's an episode I want to watch it's pretty easily accessible most of the time. EQG I have had a harder time searching for though...
