I don’t see the problem with Rarity changing clothes during autumn & Twilight Sparkle having a fear of ladybugs. They’re literally small gags that have no real effect on the show.

I mean I’ve never had that much going on in life for me before the fandom, if it ever fully dies (and it won’t) I’ll go back to being an antisocial bitter recluse surrounded by books in a dark room with a constant stream of black/death metal, alcohol, and little contact with the outside world… sunlight is for nerrrds
 
Anything post-season 2 gets an unreasonable amount of writing hate… like, I miss the old writers too, but a lot of folks are too hard on later seasons. Though I’m biased.

That’s probably too insane of a plot for them to ever touch, but Spike’s dad dating the sphinx, who’s long-since mellowed out and isn’t a villain anymore, with Spike and Somnambula both freaking out about his step-mom would be frigging hilarious XD

It’s kinda stupid, though. I think it would have been a lot better if we instead saw evidence of Twilight’s quesadilla fear (perhaps because it was quesadilla week at the school, or something), since it was a fear that was previously established. And of course, it would have been a whole lot funnier to see Twilight freaking out over Mexican food of all things.

Since it’s the unpopular opinions thread, I might as well bring up that I really do not like pone humanizations, of any sort, of any character, regardless of artistic quality or depiction. Some pictures are truly high tier art, but I just personally strongly dislike humanizing animated pony characters for the same reason I dislike EqG. But I’m just gonna filter it and move on, or compliment the artistic quality of the picture regardless of the subject matter, never downvoting unless it truly deserves it from a non-biased standpoint. No sense in letting my negative personal bias spill over onto perfectly valid and aesthetically pleasing pieces of art.

Sad to say, the same could be said about Scoot’s parents. There’s literally no possible explanation for either of those characters parents at this point that doesn’t involve tragedy or abandonment D:

The CMC were so much more entertaining as bratty little kids. They’re just not interesting when they matured. 99% of the time, when someone praises character development, what they really mean is that the character became more boring, lost their unique personality traits, and is now “normal.” Characters like Starlight and Trixie are rare examples of development actually making them far, far more interesting and fun to watch.

It’s a natural outcome of having characters rely on a single arc throughout their development. Once it does conclude, the characters are pretty much relegated to a secondary/support role since there’s now a void where their goals would be. “Let’s get other ponies their cutie marks” got old super quick as a fallback driving factor since at it’s core it undermines the CMC’s own quest (“Took you years of trying, took me one day, thanks, losers!”), so now they’re just used whenever a throwaway set of characters is needed. Least Pinkie has company now, heh.

I honestly expected the CMC to just stop having episodes once they got their marks. I was kinda exhausted with the “let’s try something else to get our marks now” plots but they’ve just not been used especially well since then as their main role and the bullying by DT/SS that often carried the episodes are resolved; as if they were made just for the purpose of finding their marks and now their usefulness is over. I liked the one where AB was upset about the other two having their own hobbies, though. Gabby was cool too.

Yeah. When it’s about one of them like that they get real development and good moments their individual personalities really shine. When it’s about the three of them trying to get their cutie marks or trying to get someone else their cutie mark it’s just sort of them spinning their wheels for 22 minutes, y’know? Like, Scoot gets more character development and you learn more about her in Sleepless in Ponyville than she got in two whole seasons prior :P
