I always loved this show for its elegance and simplicity. Season 1 is and will always be my favorite only because it was such an innocent show. A young, awkward pony has some misadventures in her town with her best friends. It didn't have deep plot lines or crazy adventures. Just little things that go wrong, like designing a dress or babysitting kids. It was a realistic world in a fantasy setting, and I loved every bit of it.

It was evident from Season 2 that the staff was getting more adventurous which wasn't necessarily a BAD thing, but still a little disappointing. Scenarios got a little wilder, the show got less innocent, but overall everything was okay. The creators started to pander to fans a bit but nothing wrong with that.

Watch out uber-fans, here comes opinions!

Season 3 was a disaster and I can't bare myself to say otherwise. There was no longer any "innocence adventures in Ponyville". The plots were weird and many days I couldn't be bothered to finish an episode. Letters disappeared from the show and that was one of my favorite parts, despite it being so cheesy; it was cute and nice and, well, again, innocent. The staff completely pandered to bronies with Trixie and Discord redemption. As much as I loved these characters, Discord should've either been saved for another special, or used in a more creative way, maybe as a boogeyman. It was completely ridiculous Fluttershy "redeemed" him. Out of character and a terrible plot decision; I feel like they shoved him into some stupid scenario just to please bronies. The "moral" of that episode was non-existent; they tried to pretend to have one but it did not work.

Trixie, she should've stayed evil. That was fun. Trixie was power hungry, arrogant and rude. Why redeem her? There is no point in it.

The show isn't a fun little small-town misadventures like it once one. It's a clusterfuck of pandering, ridiculous and quite frankly annoying plot lines, and a general spiral downwards.

I want to believe the show will go back to its grace, a humble kids show that had fun with everyday situations, a bit of fantasy sprinkled in for flavor. Not the mess it is.

If Twilight's alicornism is permanent, I'm gone. I don't like this at all.
