My Opinion of the Show By Season


Season 7: so far, only slightly better than season six (mostly on account of Honest Apple).

My Opinion of EG
Having only seen the movies, I can say the first one was alright but the others didn't do it for me. Part of what makes MLP so great in my book is the joy of watching what are basically stuffed animals behaving (or trying to behave) in such a human manner; with that lifted from the equation, character actions don't have any inherent charm, which puts the enjoyment floor a lot lower. Not devoid of entertainment value, but not of the same caliber as the regular show.

A Few Things in the Show That Mildly Annoy Me
During a song or chant, when character movements de-sync with the rhythm (if it's apparent that they begin in sync).

Also, 'countryisms' that don't make sense, like "sure as applesauce".

Music Remixes That I Want To Do Which May Or May Not Be Entirely Impractical
Love Is In Bloom + Smile Like You Mean It (The Killers)

Bats + Boogie Wonderland (Earth, Wind, and Fire)

Miscellaneous/About Me
I'm using this site to record my thoughts on aspects of humor and storytelling as they appear in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, a show whose first five seasons (minus a few episodes) I find to be an absolute joy to watch.

If you can't tell from the graphic above, I have a pretty low opinion of seasons six and seven (so far) to the point where I hardly consider them part of the show as opposed to just poor amateur efforts. Most of my blog posts on this site focus on the issues I have with the recent changes in writing and animation style. The first five seasons, however, I honestly find very enjoyable to watch on account of their aesthetic charm and humorous writing, as well as their ability to address deeper and very human issues such as loss, crisis of identity, strained familial bonds, fear of loneliness, and others.
