Will Smith’s Genie ain’t looking so bad now, it it?

Well...it didn’t have the students, at least!  Other than that, was there actually a point to this episode?  It was an absolute mess. 

I thought it was a pretty strong start to the end of the series.  It was cool to see the villains together.  As for Cozy, I REALLY hope they don’t redeem her.  People can be evil at any age, so it’d be pretty fun to see her go the way of Sombra.  Knowing this series, though, they’ll all be redeemed because *frieeeeendship*. I was so, SO glad there was no Student 6.  As far as Celestia and Luna retiring...don’t they still have to raise and lower the sun and moon?  As far as I know, they’re the only two who can do that, right?  Eh, I’m thinking way too hard about a kids’ show.  But I’m curious as to if they didn’t think this whole thing through, or if they’re able to give Twilight their abilities.  They did so in a previous episode, so I guess it’s a possibility, though what will they do with their own lives?

They’ll probably do away with the brushable hair, I’m guessing.  They’ll also probably be 99% blind boxes and incredibly tiny.  Quality control will more likely be practically nonexistent.

Okay, the flutter ponies have given me hope that one day we’ll see Big Brothers, too!

I’m glad, TBH.  Though I’m hoping we don’t get stuck with the same characters for the next generation. 

I believe that even with all its animation errors, the original G1 cartoon still looked way better than the new flash series.

This.  I enjoy FiM somewhat, but the characters still look boring and more like deer-mice than ponies. 
Tales, TBH, was probably my favorite in terms of animation design.  It was corny, for sure.  But I loved those really massive snouts LOL.
Also, I like that there weren’t as many non-ponies.  We had non-ponies, sure (Bushwoolies, etc).  But not to the ridiculous extent of FiM, where it’s used for forced and contrived lessons in “diversity”.

Pass.  Her colors are unattractive and her hair is poorly cut.
