Point taken but however i still disagree about the “freeze picture and smile tropes suck” part.That’s what annoyed me not the part you underlined
I love Spike with his li’l rockstar drum kit, the simple childhood joy of bangin’ on a thing an’ makin’ fun sounds just radiates off of him whenever he busts it out
what a cynical joyless bastard omg

Near the end of part 2 of the Cutie Map, when she sent a blast towards those ponies?
Late to the party because this image was merged forward, but everyone assuming she was trying to just headlaser her pursuers into oblivion there is skipping over the part where she said “Wha– I studied that spell for years! How can you–” when it didn’t make it through the USS Twilight’s deflector shields. A simple magic blast surely wouldn’t take a prodigy like her years to learn; it looked more like she was casting her trademark spell to remove their trademarks again, just without focusing it through the Staff Of Lameness.
“A freeze screen and character smiling ruined the episode for me T_T”
Whatever inner child you people ever had is clearly dead and rotting into your overly nitpicking pseudo intellectual soul.
The greatest error MLP ever made was making an escapist show and welcoming the cynical savy post ironic Internet 2.0 crowd into it

Even as a child, I always hated 3/4 Side-Eye Smile Face; it’s just so irritatingly fake and twee and insincere that it immediately makes any use of it come across as a cheap, low-effort shill. It completely boggles me that there doesn’t appear to be a Trope for it, given how disgustingly common it is– especially in the ‘90s heyday of Disney and Dreamworks when most Tropers grew up– in promo materials and musical numbers in children’s animation.
I love Spike with his li’l rockstar drum kit, the simple childhood joy of bangin’ on a thing an’ makin’ fun sounds just radiates off of him whenever he busts it out, but it can’t save the saccharine artificiality of this scene, it just utterly wrecks the universe immersion for me; it was a jarring reminder that the show is ultimately an extended toy commercial, and the general lack of such reminders has always been one of FIM’s greatest strengths.

You know? When you’re right, you’re amazingly right. Yeah, save for the last minutes, the S5 Finale was AWWESOME… but the last minute summarize the problems with kid shows perfectly.
@SeraphimDawn
The episode represented why I hate “big events”, in that it always ends up a disappointment, which is why I’m touchy on it. Also, the Mane 6 laughing off the fact that half of them acted like jerks and collectively ruined a party, and this was OK just because most of the people there were snobs, felt like a slap to the face.
@Frozen Fox
Season 1 conclusion was the most slice of life ending of any season. Mane 6 didn’t exactly get what they hoped for at the gala, but oh well type of ending.
