My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Discussion

I also reckon the Yak episode was a weak one.

Regardless, the next several are a run of strong episodes, so get on with it LR!

(MMDW was indeed bad, but could have been somewhat salvaged by having Dash call out the others on their hypocrisy at the end.  I feel Spike At You Service would be a strong contender for my least favorite ep, though it's been a while since I saw it.)

There is one episode I absolutely hate

The Mysterious Mare Do Well

Oh come on! Are people still on about that fucking episode? It was a great episode. And many critics have backed it up.
I feel the reason most people hate it is because they just can't stand their "poor waifu, glass canon, Dashie" to be in the wrong and be treated like the narcissistic jerkass she is.

Seriously? The Mane6 were not really being hypocritical. They were trying to help her.

And to be honest, Dash was pretty in character at the end. She's not some freaking sensitive little child. She realized she was in the wrong when her friends explained to her.

I am not a fan of Dash. I took some pleasure in watching her finally not get her way and finally getting through her thick head that she's not the shit.

[Blurr]

to each their own.

[Death Blossom]

I suppose.
One episode I'm severely iffy on is Putting Your Hoof Down.
On one hand it's a pretty good episode. On the other, the utter verbal smack down Fluttershy gives her friends... it's utterly heart breaking.

[Blurr]

I liked seeing Fluttershy be more assertive and tell off other ponies....hehe I laughed.

[Death Blossom]

It was pretty sadistic what she was saying.
Yes her standing up for herself was good to see, and I know the whole point was to show her going to far, but what she said to her friends... that was beyond going too far.
She insulted their very livelihoods and talents. Calling them frivolous and pointless, and that no one else really cared about such stupid things.
That... dude that was fucking cold.

[Death Blossom]

Like... Ice cold. Like, that's not even "assertive"-Fluttershy cold.

I guess I'm just not fond of "the shoe is on the other foot" as an Aesop delivery vessel.

When you fight dickery with dickery, usually you just end up with a lot of dicks.

(oh, and I agree about Putting Your Hoof Down. She just went just a bit too far, such that it felt like a flat-out character break rather than anything else.)

[Blurr]

ALL THE DICKS

[Death Blossom]

Hm, I getcha.

And yeah, it was like, ow. Why, Fluttershy, why?

[Blurr]

have you at least seen the 100th?

[mysteryserpent]

Fluttershy turned into a douche when she had Iron Will "helping" her XD Honestly I don't have an episode I hated exactly, but I do think I liked some less than others. Some seemed a little too slow paced for my taste. Others were...really odd.

I said I watched up to the Yak episode....
