Oh no! It’s all broken and on the floor.

>Even the least liked episodes in the fandom have merit on the second viewing.
 
Strongly disagree. Owl’s Well that Ends Well I could almost enjoy the first go around, but it just becomes worse and worse the more you think about what’s going on. The Philomena episode goes in that category as well, yeah. And, I sadly suspect, plenty of others when you’re no longer wearing rose-tinted goggles.
 
I mean, you can notice the good things about the episodes the second go around too, sure, but…
 
I shudder to think what Mare-do-Well would look like on second viewing. Most people only remember the horrendous ending, but it’s the entire episode that’s the problem. More views, more problems.

@Draco_2k  
I never watch an episode or EqG movie only once. Even the least liked episodes in the fandom have merit on the second viewing. The only one I’ve found worse on the second go was the one with Fluttershy and Philomena.

I remember saying that back on Ponibooru after Luna Eclipsed aired, then again after A Canterlot Wedding with regards to Vinyl’s eye colour…

absolutely nothing of value was lost.

Filters are the best idea ever. All of Internet should be filterable.
 
Don’t like X? Filter it out. Like X? You can easily find it. Everybody wins.

… I guess I should have been clearer in my comment, but my intent was to point out that bronies have been claiming that the show is ruined and the fandom is dying at least since the time when Lauren Faust announced she was leaving, not that I believe such claims.
 
@Draco_2k  
Filters are pretty dang helpful in hiding unwanted subject matter and utter dreck.

@Fighterpilot555  
And that reason is because of an image macro I made poorly parodying other ducks on this site.

@Ihhh  
You earned that duck badge for a reason!

@Fighterpilot555  
Your insult is lost on me.

wew lads.

@Ihhh  
To quote the Soldier from TF2, ”You are a spineless worm! You are a mistake of nature! You are walking VOMIT!!”

@Ihhh  
Welp, buddy, you lost me.

@Draco_2k  
Since studios required credentials to hire people. And yes, by claiming that fan work is universally better than the show, you are implicitly claiming that inexperienced amateurs are universally better than professionals.

@Ihhh  
True, I haven’t. I did watch some Family Guy, but bringing that up seems about as fair as comparing a shoplifting teenager to the Holocaust. Also, that would imply Family Guy had had something which could be ruined in the first place.
 
@Ihhh  

 
Good job I’m not claiming that then. That’s a bit of a circular argument, don’t you think?
 
…wait, wait, wait, since when do MLP writers have tons of training and experience?

@Draco_2k  
You have obviously never watched spongebob, because even the worst episodes of MLP don’t come close to the worst episodes of spongebob, or even worse, family guy. And claiming inexperienced fans are better storytellers than professional writers with tons of training and experience is very pretentious.

@Ihhh  

 

 
No, you know what, I’m in a unique position to refute that with actual research on the subject that I’ve personally done, so here you go. Enjoy your filters. I’m not judging.
 

 
As for your question, I’m not sure why you’d ask again. Was it unclear? The show is good some of the time, so I’ll watch it some of the time, but I like fanwork way better. Like, of course a lot of fanart/fanfics are garbage, yet a lot of it are utter masterpieces. You just need to know how to pick your circles. Sometimes that means repressing a memory of mental abuse left in the wake of a horrible episode of the show.

@Draco_2k  
Because most images here aren’t fan art, and you never answered the question.

@Ihhh  
What? You’re asking me that, but why the hell are you on Derpibooru if you think most fan works suck?

@Draco_2k  
Again, why do you even watch the show? Also, most fan works suck.

@Ihhh  
I didn’t take the time to count bad episodes. That number sounds depressing.
 
@Ihhh  

 
It’s good some of the time. Overall I like the fanworks better, which often provide a better rendition of the episodes.
