Ironic, given that season 3 is now considered one of the strongest seasons of the show…

@Splinter17  
Yep, that’s about it. I facehoof’d through my own face Twilight style when AJ completely missed her cookies or whatever being tossed away, and apparently never looked in there or noticed them later or even mentioned them (and no other pony in the whole kitchen noticed either)  
That scene was basically maxed out on Idiot Ball  
The others were slightly excusable, because Fluttershy is nonconfrontational, Pinkie is oblivious, Rainbow was too interested in herself, and Rarity as we’ve seen previously can get as obsessive as Twi with dressmaking. But AJ AND THE ENTIRE STAFF OF A KITCHEN missing this snub… Yeah I don’t buy that for a second. That should have been at the end of the montage, and the ‘last straw’ for Twilight. I mean the whole sequence of events was dumb from the start but it did have a few ‘outs’ that weren’t taken along the way.

This is my concern – the staff can pull out all the stops they want to make it entertaining, but when you get right down to it, embracing the stereotypical princess narrative is a kick in the teeth to everything the show stood for in the first two seasons. It’s philosphically and ideologically opposed to the things that drew me to the show in the first place.

@Itsthinking  
Cadance was pretty generic, and CW still had it’s storytelling problems, namely the whole cast carrying the Idiot Ball for both episodes, not to mention shoehorning in Twilght’s never-before-seen brother when there were other episodes he could have been introduced in. Like Sweet and Elite, in which Twilight came to Canterlot to celebrate her birthday party. I could bring in other flaws that other fans have pointed out if you’d like.  
But yeah, it’s toooootally because of Sunbutt fans being butthurt of their waifu getting owned harder than Yamcha. There’s simply no other reason!  
So yeah, don’t pretend that Canterlot Wedding was universally loved. That honor belongs to episodes like Cutie Mark Chronicles and Sleepless in Ponyville.

I wonder how many people are really in it purely for the porn.  
Also Seriously?

@Itsthinking  
What, like you’d stick around for a terrible movie the entire way?  
I’d have walked out and demanded my money back.  
It was THAT bad.  
I only watched the second half 4 weeks later, and simply because I was bored and nobody was in the World of Tanks lobby. “Boy, they sure switched writers in between these, huh.”

Like her not having wings prevents artists from drawing her with wings in porn.

Yeah because liking Alicorn Twilight for who she is - is totally not an option.

@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
>know that an episode is two parts  
>watch one part
 
Jesus Christ. The whole point of the episode was to build up to the second half. This is like watching a movie halfway through and saying the characters aren’t developed and that the plot goes nowhere.

@Itsthinking  
Yes.  
IN THE SECOND HALF
 
AFTER MOST SANE PEOPLE TURNED IT THE HELL OFF IN DISGUST

@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
It made Cadance an actually interesting character and introduced one of FiM’s best villains. People are just mad that Cadance has more characterization and screentime than their waifu Celestia.
 
 
@Tomaster  
Leave then. No one will miss you.

they wormed their way out of a canterlot wedding and discord’s return
 
i seriously doubt they can accomplish that again
 
it’s been fun.

@Jadefire  
Are you kidding? That was MMDW level for sure. It was way better when it was still concept-only. Changelings saved that episode, and it took until S3 to save the rest of that hot mess.

@Jadefire
 
I think I’m actually going to WAIT and SEE IF THE EPISODE IS GOOD OR BAD. If we end up liking it like the Royal Wedding, then we’d all look like asses.

This argument isn’t actually a bad one. However I’m mostly in wait an see mode. This could turn out well and shake up this whole princess trope, or it could just turn out to be a disaster and a half.

@Background Pony  
Remember Princess Cadance?
 
Yeah, I don’t trust the place that was the origin of “OMG PANDA RINGS.”

Remember A Canterlot Wedding, where the show slippe into the “little girl show mold” for the sake of a pretty pink princess wedding omg toys?
 
Remember how that episode didn’t suck?
 
Because I’m obviously the only fucking person on this planet who remembers, which is making me start to seriously think that I may have hallucinated the entire pair of episodes.

Actually, people on /mlp/ tend to have very reasonable arguments against alicorn Twilight, unfortunately their voice is drowned by fandom’s collective flood of “HURR HURR UR TEARS R SO DELICIOUS”

Yeah so? Everyone thought the idea of Spock dying in Star Trek 2 was also a bad idea…and yet, it remains as the Star Trek movie that all other Star Trek movies are measured against.
 
As I keep saying:  
It’s not what they do, but how they do it that matters

Yeah, already on here.
