    Haven't watched the show since like, beginning of Season 7. Had a random thought today "Hey ya know I think it'd be fun to get back into MLP" and wouldn't ya know it, the series ended like 2 weeks ago. Well darn.

      Indeed. But there are some -incredible- episodes in S7,  so there's that....

    For whatever reason, I think Twilight has just shot up to second place on my rankings of best ponies. She's pretty adorable!

    Honestly, ratings these days are pretty much useless. A good example I can think of is Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is the only film in the main series other than Revenge of the Sith (which actually had pretty good reason to be PG-13) to get PG-13, and yet it's pretty much just as tame as all of the ones that got PG. The MPAA just doesn't know what they're doing anymore, so it could go either way.

    I'm betting we'll get a trailer maybe in a few months. It is a bit odd that we haven't gotten on yet, given how close we're getting.

    @@Tropico Up until now, I never caught that Shining reference. Huh.

    I'm definitely interested to see how this season turns out with so much new blood. Then again, S6 had a lot of new blood, and it turned out pretty good in my opinion. Still, its sort of a wildcard in the sense that we have no idea what to expect from these people in terms of writing quality. I'm optimistic though!

    Definitely Spike. He's basically known her his entire life and has stood by her no matter what.

    I once saw a King Sombra X Pound Cake shipfic on FiMFiction. I don't know it was meant to be a parody, but if not, then yeah. That's my least favorite.

    I don't really know how it'll end story wise, but I've always imagined the last part of the series finale being the storybook from the first episode closing and the words "The End" appearing on screen, while a bittersweet piano rendition of the end of the theme plays.

    Jeez, why is literally every writer leaving! I mean, I'm still think S7 will be great, but it's kinda depressing :(

    I mean, if they actually expressed interest in watching it, I'd tell them to watch the Season 2 premiere, as I stand by that it's the best introduction episode for the show. ....That works too....

    Aw man. The Times They Are a Changeling was one of my favorites last season. So, who IS coming back?

    I definitely agree. Also, I've never understood the idea that Sunset had the better redemption. While I'll give Rainbow Rocks credit for "rescuing" this, her initial redemption scene was terrible. It comes across like a parody of an MLP redemption. One second she's literally a demon, then she's blasted with a rainbow, then suddenly she does a complete 180. I'm not going to stand here and pretend that Starlight's redemption scene was the pinnacle of television writing, because it isn't. But at the very least, they showed her being taken aback by what she had done (even though she was trying to hide it), they gave her a motivation (whether you thought it was a believable one is irrelevant), showed Twilight having sympathy for her, then had Twilight gradually talk her out of destroying the scroll and accepting her friendship. All of this takes about 1/3 of the 2nd part of the finale, which is certainly more screentime than Sunset's redemption was given in EQG1.

    I do enjoy some world building, but I would like to see it in episode form, not just in Legends of Magic. But then again, Legends of Magic offers an opportunity to focus completely on world building and lore, so I guess I can't complain.
  15. NeonCobalt
    Both Sombra and Tirek are pretty much pure evil, with no motivation other than gaining power and causing destruction. So I'd say it's a toss up between them.
  16. NeonCobalt
    As much as I enjoy Friends Forever, I'm not going to complain about some quality world building. Bring on the lore and world building!

    I think he's definitely moving in that direction already, but it would be nice to see him make more progress next season.

    Shoveling the snow we just got in my area. And it was that kind of snow that's mixed with sticky slush, which is always the worst to deal with.

    I believe it's a typo, and they meant "heroines" as in "protagonists who are female".
  20. NeonCobalt
    I actually really like this hair on Starlight!
  21. NeonCobalt
    Agreed. Even if the comics aren't canon, I don't think the show staff will so overtly contradict them. For example, in the Season 6 finale, they didn't say one way or another whether the events of the Season 2 finale were the last encounter the characters had with Crysalis. Because of that, if you personally consider the comics canon, there's really nothing contradicting her role in the comics.

    As someone who does most of my gaming on PC (outside of playing on Wii U and soon the Switch for Nintendo's exclusives), I've never really understood why some people feel the need to come up with a thousand reasons why it's "objectively" better. Most of them are a bunch of s**t, as you point out. For me, the only real reason I play mostly on PC is because I do most of my other stuff on there, so it's just more convenient for my particular situation.

    1. Almost 2 years now. 2. I'm pretty open minded, and after years of hearing about how many people enjoyed the show, I figured there had to be something to it. Turns out there was, and I've been here ever since. 3. Wanting to interact with others who enjoy the show. 4. Posting here and discussing the show with others. 5. Starlight Glimmer

    As someone who also considers Starlight to be their favorite, I'd boil her lack of role in the film down to the fact that the film began production in 2015, and has been produced by a completely different creative team than the show, who may or may not be communicating much with the show staff. I mean, sure, I'd have liked her to have a role in the film, but I'm also not going to pretend like it's anyone's fault, nor am I going to let this ruin the film for me.

    -The return of Chrysalis, I think, is a given. There's no way she'd swear revenge only for the writers not to follow up on it. I dunno if it'll be in the premiere or the finale, but she'll be back. -If Chrysalis isn't in the premiere, I'd kind of like to see a new villain. The show hasn't gotten a NEW villain since the Season 5 premiere, so it'd be nice to see one. -I'm personally hoping to see Starlight interact with the rest of the Mane 6 more, not just in her own episodes, but in episodes that aren't centered around her. -I imagine there'll be some more map episodes this season. -I'd like to see a few more CMC episodes this next season, and have at least one of them not be focused on trying to help somepony with a cutie mark problem. After all, before their cutie marks, there were CMC episodes that weren't centered on their quests to get them. -I'd like to see a new "Luna helps another character confront problems by entering their dreams" episode. Dunno who it would focus on, though.
