Because Daybreaker is so cool, it would be wasted to be just a one-time imagination  i guess...

Right now, I dont think every finale should be Cutie Remark but i am glad that i watched a finale like Cutie Remark  to see how far the show can take, at that time, it was my best finale.

If not for Discord and the battle scene, Twilight Kingdom is really tasteless, whenever i rewatch that episode, i always skip to Discord parts and the battle scene.

The best finale of all time is Canterlot Wedding, you got everything you want from that finale. 

@Lambdadelta I always find the first half of "A Canterlot Wedding" just kinda annoying, and the reason seems to change each time. On my latest watch, I just didn't like Twilight in it very much.

"Twilight's Kingdom" is all about how much Twilight's friends mean to her, and how lost she feels without them. I like it a lot as sort of a reaffirmation of everything the show stands for, and it's one of like three times in the past four seasons where I really sympathised with Twilight, but most of it isn't all that much fun now that the novelty's worn off, and I don't really care about Twilight's role as an alicorn.

"The Cutie Re-Mark" never had a lot of novelty, and I'm honestly not super impressed by its dark imagery. Still, it has its moments. 

Well, we have very different opinions about the same episodes. Canterlot Wedding is one of remaining episodes, Twilight looks lively as a character , damn i missed Unicorn Twilight  

I totally agree. I really don't understand why people think that at all. :/

The characters will keep growing, like real people should be. The problem is, did writers GROW tired of them ?

@Lambdadelta I should hope not. When so many people still make fanfiction based on those characters, it's offensive to me that the people in charge of the show might not be interested in them. 

You mean visuals?! Not impressive as i thought it would be but still pleasant to see. Its too... colorful  made it more 'childish' than ever...

I hope this movie can be released in my country so i can buy a ticket ;3

I dislike the visuals, but the trailer is also too loud and frantic. Not really what draws me to this show. 

Pretty forgettable trailer, obviously looked like they wanted to promote this movie like a Hollywood blockbuster action film, but this is not Transformers. I don't like the visuals either..

Honestly, I just want to see the map used more often in general. It feels like they don't want to use it anymore.

Magic aaaand magic

@Princess Book Horse I kinda hate it, so I'd rather it disappeared entirely. 

I posted this message three years ago about an MLP episode that I don’t think is very well-liked, but I stand by it. I don’t like how they’re always bickering - it seems like they don’t respect each other. 

@AlexanderThrond They're from two different worlds. Their differences are why I love their pairing. 

Except for "Simple Ways" aka the episode that ruined Rarity's "good episode streak", IMO. 

I just don't find it entertaining to watch the two constantly expressing disgust at each other's tastes and habits. I wish they had even the slightest bit of common ground, or at least indicated they had some respect for each other's preferences and habits. "Honest Apple," which is what I was complaining about in this status update, was in the seventh season. They have been friends for years, and yet we only ever see them bring the worst out of each other. 

@Lambdadelta I feel like worldbuilding can be done in a non-adventure episode too, as the yak episodes have shown us, and I don't think the show does this worldbuilding very well all that often. I also worry that big adventure episodes will be impersonal and kinda shallow, but I guess I don't care as long as they're funny. 

@AlexanderThrond At least, "big adventure episodes" look FUN, action-oriented stories can be shallow but they are entertaining, a dull slice of life episode is far worse than a shallow adventure episode, i prefer watching a 22-minuted action-packed episode with shitty story than a dull slice of life one, they may be both throwable but i will choose the better one to kill time.

@Lambdadelta Hypothetically, sure, but "The Cutie Re-Mark" is a shallow adventure episode and I find it kinda dull. I guess I prefer a "Gauntlet of Fire" to a "Buckball Season," though, and when done well, those adventure episodes can be really fun every once in a while. 

Not yet, to my understanding. I don't see how such a two-parter would be emotionally grounded, so I'm hoping for some kind of slice-of-life finale. Still want to see an episode just revolve around a big party. 

@Lambdadelta Season 4 ended with Twilight finding purpose as a Princess, and season 6 ended with Starlight regaining confidence in herself. Perhaps not coincidentally, those seasons both came after big changes, whereas season 7 so far has not. I guess we could have Chrysalis, but I don't know what internal conflict that could involve. 

What!? This season?! I heard some people complain the premiere is not about adventures and villain ass-kicking. I love Celestial Advice and All Bottled Up, not even a doubt in my mind, but a slice of life FINALE!? This may piss some people, a lot of them.

@Lambdadelta To my eyes, season 1 still has the best finale by far. I'd like to see something simple yet somehow significant like that. Big party celebrating the six's achievements, I'm telling you. 

This is how I felt too. The episode didn't really have any high stakes to it and nothing it did was extremely memorable and it was also quite simple, but I think that is why I liked it more than A Royal Problem. It felt more fun than anything and that worked really well. 

@Kyoshi I much preferred "A Royal Problem," and even found that episode funnier, but this did feel like it had more space to breathe. I'm just glad we had two funny episodes in a row, because I have not had a great time with the rest of this season. 

I think she should just be banished from Equestria or banished somewhere else, I would like her to be reformed to an extent but not turned into an all out love bug.

I am fine with her being reformed, but later, because she's too fun an antagonist to do away with so quickly. I don't really care about villains being punished in a show about friendship. 

Yes, I can't help but agree with you!

You ever thought about looking at an episode from another angle? Who knows, you may get a different outlook on it. Not saying your thoughts on the episode are wrong, but I'll be honest some of your criticism confused me.

I think Dark Qiviut put it best in this comment, and it's a very good point if you ask me.

I've tried. My problem remains that I don't know why Moondancer even expected Twilight to attend. Those flashbacks didn't convince me that Twilight had acted in any way to indicate she cared about Moondancer, so I don't really feel like Moondancer's bitterness is Twilight's fault. Dark Qiviut says "none of them plan to show up," but that's not exactly the scenario here: we see three other ponies show up, and Moondancer is the first to leave. Which would be fine if I had any idea why she expected Twilight to come in the first place. I agree more with the linked blog post itself, but I also recall finding it one of season 5's less dreary episodes, so it has that going for it.

Fair enough I suppose.

Wouldn't mind seeing this either. It was a surprising little addition to her character so it being put on display would be neat. 

Such an episode could be pretty cute! 

yes  

Aren't we all though?

no

Damn forse hucker. 

@Dark Qiviut I hated "Fluttershy Leans In" (and "All Bottled Up" for that matter), and excepting "Parental Glideance" and "A Flurry of Emotions," I found the others to not be very entertaining either, so I'm glad you're liking season 7, but I kinda hate it so far. 

@Dark Qiviut I actually think "Fluttershy Leans In" is the best episode in the season to be honest.

@Squirrel Luigi

FLI would've been much better had the conflict not start so late and end five minutes later and the episode not treat Fluttershy as completely in the right (when she, too, contributed to the problem).

Especially weird when considering that Newbie Dash was also from a new writer and that episode was....ugh.

I sort of have a soft spot for "Newbie Dash" but "Parental Glideance" is much better simply by not having that cringy middle part. 

Aw jeez, sorry. 

Using magic for her problems is like an instinct for Starlight, you cant get rid of it anytime soon, Starlight is fun when she use her magic like Pinkie do 4th wall, the difference right now is whether her intention is good or just personal gain, they are different.

Part of the issue is that I don't find her misuse of magic funny. I find it a slight bit disturbing. 

It look like we have to agree to disagree about this part, because our definitions of entertainment  are different
