Another one that contends for the top spot that I thought of: Games Ponies Play. After seemingly an entire day's worth of showing the "Game's Inspector" around, the gang realizes that the entire time, they were leading the wrong pony around, and that the real Game's Inspector was left behind... Okay. No. I'm sorry, but the Mane 6 isn't this clueless and careless, especially when the matter is as important as they make it out to be. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't ask who Mrs. Peachbottom was a single time during their entire tour. Then, during the same scene in which they realize their bizarre mixup, they're rewarded for messing up!

Pick any moment in "Owl's Well That Ends Well". In said episode, The Mane 6 treat Spike like a stranger. Rarity gives Owlicious a gem after just meeting him, similar to the one she gave Spike for being special to her. Twilight has Owlicious do Spike's chores, making Spike feel useless. Twilight then says that Owlicious is only around to help during the night!... Except for the fact that most of the episode takes place during the day. The Mane 6 pass off Spike's legitimate reasons for being upset and sad as a "fit of jealousy". ... What? No! This is ridiculous. Owl's Well does the Mane 6 an injustice - opting to completely destroy their characterization, especially Twilight. Rarity should know how much that gem meant to Spike. Twilight should know that Spike's concerns are genuine. Even Fluttershy of all ponies, would understand why Spike got upset. Owl's Well dumbs down the characters to some of their lowest points, and the episode suffers in quality because of it.

Owl's Well That Ends Well - My least favorite FiM episode. The blatantly OOC Mane 6 (especially Twilight) uncharacteristically treat Spike like dirt, and treat his sadness as a fit of "jealousy". I hate the characterization. I hate the conflict. Pretty much everything about Owl's Well is a dud. Rarity Investigates - This may raise some eyebrows, but I remember being very underwhelmed by this episode. It's not necessarily a poorly constructed episode or anything, it's just that the black & white, old school investigative sylistic approach just wasn't my kinda thing. It wasn't fun to watch. I couldn't get into the conflict, and I disliked the overall aesthetic. Three's a Crowd - This episode drags on and on, and never really pays off in any sort of meaningful way. The opening train scene lasts nearly half the episode and kills the mood of the episode from the get-go. Pinkie Pie getting wisped away from the episode by a balloon? That's just lazy writing. The Hooffield and McColts - I don't really have much to say about this other than it's a really bad episode. I didn't care for the characters. Didn't care for the scenery. Didn't care for the rehashed conflict. Appleloosa's Most Wanted - Similar to Hooffield and McColts, I don't have much to say about this one. This episode's poor attempts at humor fall distinctly flat. 28 Pranks Later - Super predictable story which rehashes Mysterious Mare Do Well, but in a much worse way. It's hard to sit through Dishonorable mentions: Flutter Brutter - This would be on the list for sure if it wasn't for Fluttershy's great characterization, the episode's only redeeming factor. And Newbie Dash - A massive letdown and perhaps the most disappointing FiM episode ever considering its potential. The only slightly redeemable factor is getting to see the gorgeous world design that the Wonderbolt's live in.

Spike at Your Service & Just For Sidekicks are some of the show's best episodes I've never liked Trixie, and consider her one of the show's worst characters I very rarely consider Pinkie Pie "out of character", even in some of her worst episodes (i.e, Filli Vanilli) Magical Mystery Cure was the best paced episode of FiM Three's a Crowd & Rarity Investigates are among some of the worst FiM episodes I prefer AJ's Season 1 voice I wish EQG 1's electronic theme would replace FiM's theme

Yup. I specifically remember one of my least favorite episodes, Three's a Crowd, having a mercilessly long opening scene where they used excessive exposition to setup the episode. The episode spent the first 10 minutes of its 22 minutes in the same location (train station) setting up the plot and spilling a lot of unnecessary dialogue. It's one of FiM's weaker aspects. The best episodes use (relevant) exposition to naturally lead into a relevant plot point, rather than tell the story itself

I've thought of this too, however, it's hard to say until we know how many theaters the movie will premiere in. I think some people are expecting it to be bigger than its realistically going to be. This isn't going to be a Frozen-like movie where everyone's raving about it. It'll be huge among the fandom and the younger fanbase, but it won't bring in too many outsiders who aren't already familiar with the product/franchise. I presume Hasbro is well aware of this, and will plan accordingly. The Hey Arnold & Powerpuff Girls movie performances are more realistic comparisons to how the FiM film will perform, but even then, don't be surprised to see it make less than that. FiM has a large, diverse fandom, but its brand awareness suffers from being on Discovery Family. It all depends on how enthusiastic the base fanbase is at the time of release. As of now, I don't think it'll be a blockbuster, and will likely succeed with the target demographic, at least moderately.

The first piece of brony merchandise I've ever purchased was a toboggan (beanie). At first I liked it, but over time, I've grown to dislike it. I don't wear it anymore. The huge "BRONY" word on the front seems too tacky and unnecessary. If it just had the Rainbow Dash emblem on it without the words, I'd wear it more often.

Why didn't they correct Rarity when she said she thought alicorn wings had to be earned? I feel like that scene would have been written entirely differently if they intended to imply that Celestia & Luna were born as alicorns. Imo, either the writers intended to imply otherwise, or purposely kept it vague. If they intended to keep with the previously accepted canon of Celestia & Luna being naturally born alicorns, why word it that way? I chalk it up to bad writing or the writers trying to change the previously accepted canon. Furthermore, considering AKR's tweets & the previous canon, I do think -Octavia- has a good point that it isn't confirmed either way, so it's still up to speculation until we receive more conclusive information from the show or staff. Additionally, the theory that alicorns have a drastically longer-than-average lifespan is still up in the air until we know more of Celestia & Luna's origin, but I still lean towards it being true
