I'm going to just say this...

There are times when you shouldn't take everything the fandom wants and just do what you want to do instead of trying to please a fanbase, because you end up pleasing no one: similar situations arose with Discord going good and Twilight being an Alicorn. Because that corner of bronies wanted something like that they listened, and as a result, it felt coppoutish. Now it can be debated whether those were good decisions or not (I personally didn't like them), but what I liked about the previous seasons is...ironically enough...it's lack of brony influence. Lauren and the writers did what they wanted and not what fans/focus groups wanted (for the most part) and even when the episodes were bad (MMD for example) I still respected them for attempting. You start losing a bit when you go into pandering or playing the "fans wanted it" blame.

What does this have to do with EG? Well, at least to me, even if it is good I won't have the same level of respect for it because in the end it's obvious what this truely is: an easy cash grab. That's not always bad, but with recent fallouts in the fandom...we don't really need stuff like this popping up constantly.
