    the stupid stick has been passed one too many times for me to enjoy MLP's characters. Like having the ponies experience firsthand the impact of Tirek, knowing that he got out once, and having them be aware o him also working from the inside with a certain somepony, only to put that certain somepony in the same vicinity of him when that certain somepony gets caught. I mean, really?

    Also- the repetitive "morals" and stories. How many times have we been through the 'what am I? who am I meant to be?" thing with Spike? Why did we need a lite version of Dragon Quest, which is, in itself, a complete rip from g1's "Spike Search"? Or backtracking with RD and AJ 's characterization in "Non Compete Clause".  I just feel like the series is well past its prime. The characters are suffering for it, and the lessons have gotten stale. Does anyone else think that it's past time to put the series out of its misery? Would such things be happening if the show went back to how g1 handled episodes, through a constant rotation of characters that were focused on being different in every episode, and not implementing any overarching narratives and arcs?

    Nowhere in the OP does Nightmare Muffin say their opinion is more worthy or correct than anyone else's. Quite the opposite, looking at the bolded phrases above. Heck, even the title emphasizes that it's a personal feeling or opinion, not an pronouncement of how any one else has to think.

    I agree with the guys above me that just because one person hates something that doesn't give them the right to say everyone else has to hate it.

    On TV Tropes, There's a whole of page about the group called Fan Dumb ,the dark side of any fandom that usually act entitled, think they know better than anyone else, etc.

    Well, that's good, because NMM didn't say anyone else has to agree with their views.

    I hate it when people think their opinion is so important that there no way people can think differently. Season 8 is one of the better seasons with only 2 bad episodes. Non complete Clause, Yakiky Sax. Rest of the episodes are pretty solid.

    NMM never stated that they think their opinion is more important than anyone else's, or that there is no other way to think.

    As for me, I haven't been keeping up with episodes since the end of Season 6. So, yes, I do feel MLP is not what it once was, and may no longer be for me. I find Steven Universe much more to my taste these days. Just my personal opinion.

  2. 3 hernia operations before the age of 5... 
    Getting hit in the face with a cricket bat and breaking my nose...
    Crouching down to pick something up off the floor and nailing the middle of my head on the corner of a bookcase...
    Plus sticking my finger into various outlets at various times... nothing like a little jolt of the ol' electricity... sometimes I'm surprised I'm still alive...

  3. I'm not sure anyone really picks that tidbit up on the first viewing.

    On an aside, that picture seemed weird to me at first and I didn't know why, but I realized: it's the dark lines under the eyes of Bloom and Belle. Later, they use the same colour as the pony's outline when they show the eyes scrunched up like that.

  4. What's the average speed of a pegasus? African or European? :P

    I guess it depends on the pegasus. Rainbow Dash covered a big distance in one episode to find Spitfire, but she's an exceptional case. I'd say at least faster than a train over short distances, but overland, a touch slower due to needing rest.

  5. Suri Polomare. Taking advantage of Rarity's gift of cloth and passing Rarity's designs off as her own, then lying about Prim Hemline being mad at Rarity to cover up her lying about the fact that Rarity actually won the competition. No pony, I mean, NO PONY, takes advantage of my girl that way... at least not without getting a bucketful of hate to the proverbial face. :stressed:

    I used to think they used a rubber duck for the sound effect but I discovered that they actually make the sound themselves. Who came up with the squee and how do they do it?

    Where did you discover that they made the sound themselves? It's pretty clearly a stock sound effect, since it sounds exactly the same each time it is heard. There was even a video on it:

     

    If you're talking about in-universe explanations, it's pretty easy to make a high pitch ee-ee sound.
