Because the show likes to do fun things with them sometimes?

An episode without the main characters would be interesting.

The recent episodes featuring them (has Cadance gotten anything, btw?) might have worked better if they weren't previously fed so much

And if they weren't, those recent episodes would've turned out differently.

Well, I'm not complaining. 

Well truth be told people(me specifically) are just basing some judgement through your  text. And you feel like a bro when i read your measages. Maybe thats what others think aswell...but now i evolved and continually check any persons profile for gender to avoid awkwardness..... But awkwardness is a branch or family of stupidness... But i love being stupid though..hmmm

@AlexanderThrond Darn tootin’.

@Dawn-Sunlight Why would Celestia and Luna still be there? 

Because this is theoretically if everything went according to Cozy's plan in School Raze, and she had no plans for getting rid of them, besides, Cozy only goes after somepony if they are doing something that gets in her way.  Until Celestia and Luna start to get suspicious, I think they're fine.

Besides, even if they aren't there, Cozy will find some way to make that into more friendship for herself and she'll still unite Equestria in friendship.

@Dawn-Sunlight Ohh okay, I was going with her season 9 scheme rather than the season 8 one. But I think Cozy would come up with some kind of scheme to get rid of the princesses eventually, and her "friendship" would be some twisted parody of it. 

The Student Six are really endearing in their own unique ways. Yona the Yak's my favorite, but Gallus the Griffon's a funny asshole.

I honestly don't know what differentiates a funny asshole from an annoying asshole to me; Gallus had his moments, but didn't hit the sweet spot for me that Zephyr Breeze continues to in the Equestria Girls shorts. Wasn't quite sold on the dragon either, and the hippogriff acts a lot like the one from the movie, which is to say that she annoyed me a lot. 

@Dark Qiviut @AlexanderThrond

Maybe, I'll like Gallus with time but I'm not a very big fan of jerky characters. 

@Sparklefan1234 The monsters...

They made her all shouty. 

The dock in Legend of Everfree. It knows what it did...

@Lambdadelta Reformations are good tho

@AlexanderThrond Reformations are sweets, eat too much sweets you will get diabetes unless you have insulin.

We need a balance meal...

@Lambdadelta I’m pretty sure reformations are the nutritious part of the meal. 

@Captain Clark God, I don't know what they did to the buildings. They all look like shiny plastic. And that pirate ship, blargh. I rather dug the undersea visuals, at least. 

When I focus enough, the "floating overtop backgrounds" thing is sort of the case with the show as well, but this movie's attempts at depth-of-field and frequent use of hideous 3D objects (I'm not saying CG because the 2D stuff is drawn on a computer as well) make it stand out a lot more. 

Been a while since I've looked at the movie, so I don't quite remember what I thought of the backgrounds. But the character models always looked weird. I guess the word would be "squishy"? I remembered seeing Pinkie Pie falling from the first trailer, and the change in her expression seemed unnatural and... "forced"? It's more notable when the ponies are shown from the front and their snouts seemed so blocky when comparing them to their show models.

@Number62 Yeah, I dunno. I figure they changed the character geometry to give a greater sense of depth perception, but I kinda wish they had figured out something different. I've heard hand-drawn animation is said to "squish," which is why it's so beloved among animation enthusiasts, but in this movie it doesn't always look right. As I've mentioned, though, I can't quite get behind them in still shots either, and I can't think of a good reason why that is. 

@Number62 I think I saw one of the writers acknowledge that backstory once, but I don't remember whom. 

Sounds good. Now if only they can show that through an episode.

@Number62 There are few things I want more than that.

>implying she’s still relevant

@A.V. Is it really a diss? If I understand correctly, it's not like she holds any position in government at the moment. 

Yeah it really wasn’t a diss, she has no power or in any sort of government position. Honestly I have no idea why people still love to bring her up so much. It’s more annoying than anything 

Well, there is a plan for how the show is released so other tv networks in different straying from that is bitch because people who really care about the show don't want the show ruined for them. It's not necessarily "because it's america this is the schedule you must follow," it's because it is the planned schedule regardless of the country. 

@Misscellanio I was under the impression that it was the networks which decided when to air specific episodes. 

I did say tv networks

I'd like this even more as a 3-minute short with the entire part about Fluttershy becoming mean taken out. Like "Newbie Dash," the impressions are really kinda ruined by context. 

@AlexanderThrond

The part with Fluttershy becoming mean reminded me of the "Rocko's Modern Life" episode 

"Power Trip" where good-natured Rocko becomes a jerk after something happens at his job.

@Sparklefan1234 I thought each persona was funny in its own way, but only for a few seconds. 

I have not seen "Rocko's Modern Life." 

@The Artist Formerly Known As A.V. I got a real kick out of Pinkie blowing that bubble pipe. 

@AlexanderThrond And in Pinkie's "flashback," Dash went practically Skeletor over those pies.

Predicted score: 65/100. Probably gonna join my mental canon of guilty pleasure episodes. 

@The Artist Formerly Known As A.V. The second I saw we were going into Pinkie's imagination, I nearly applauded. 

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. 

S' a good point. I'd say that the whole "So long as you understand you made a mistake and apologize, you're ok" philosophy of the show has led to a fair number of complaints in the past. Don't agree with all of them, and I understand why the show does what it does, but I think it does limit the show in scope somewhat.

Was fine with it the first time, but because this is the second time, I just do not believe that Starlight has actually learned from her mistake. Guilt doesn't seem to do a whole lot to prevent her from doing wildly inappropriate things like that.

Suppose time will tell. I will say that since "Don't brainwash people" is kinda a weird moral, I don't know if I'd expect the writers to revisit it again.

Then again, I didn't expect them to revisit it this time

@CypherHoof - I’m not entirely sure what your point is. I’m not claiming they’re in a relationship. 

Just not sure why Zephyr saying "she totally wants me" and Limestone saying "I'm not jealous" count, while Dashie saying "ulgh, no way" doesn't...

I mean, that's information about her romantic life, but as far as I know she has never been romantically interested in anyone ever. 

(Limestone is kinda stretching it, really.)

@Them's Seeing Ponies It kinda seems like they’re trying to make something relatable to the kids instead of trying to make something funny, which makes me think the writers don’t understand how kids use social media. Someone who gets it would be able to do both.

@Kiryu-Chan Which villain is this?

There are some social media-related ones I like and some lower-tech ones I don’t, but generally I find that to be the case as well. 

I was talking about Vingette from RoF. Technically last season, but following that up with a season heavy with social media ones is pretty frustrating

@Kiryu-Chan I thought the commentary on social media was pretty weak there as well, but I liked Vignette because she was supposed to come across as vapid.

I haven't been let down by an episode yet in Season 9. Here's hoping the streak continues into the second half. 

You don't care THAT much about what others are saying, do you?

@Sparklefan1234 - I'm unfortunately not quite at that point, but it's still on track to be one of my favourite seasons. 

@Number62 - I'm just saying that I wouldn't think about it so much if I didn't read the forums so often. It can be a bit of a buzzkill sometimes. 

I'll be like, "Wow, My Little Pony was once again very good this week! I wonder what fun observations people have!" and then it turns out not many people share my enthusiasm on here. 

@Lambdadelta Most of those are reasons I like season 6. Better than S5 for sure. 

@AlexanderThrond Season 6 is my 4th favorite season (it used to be my 3rd until season 7 came). The only thing that ruined my enjoyment of season 6 is Starlight controversy and some "the end of the show" neighsayers, too much negativity made me uncomfortable.

@Lambdadelta I was pretty comfortable having a minority opinion that season, because I was having a lot of fun with the show itself. Probably my third favourite season after the first two. 

Meh.

The first two episodes could be fun. It's 28 Pranks Later I'm worried about, it just screams "MMDW 2: Electric Scootaloo"

Yeah, that one especially worries me. No clue why every RD episode has to emphasize her worst qualities. The other two just seem kinda lightweight.

No problem. I'm just kinda getting annoyed with all the negative feedback season 7 is getting.

@Sylveon There are other people giving negative feedback to season 7?

Only a few VERY VOCAL fans about it.

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 love all of the Equestria Girls shorts we've gotten so far &

I'm always excited when a new one pops up.

Well, that's just like her, putting all of her dorky energy into her job. Surely she must have a nerdy hobby nobody knows about. 

maybe she has a secret design studio where she makes frilly dresses...

Oh my! 

It's a pity, but that is reality. So hating the this episode is actually hating the writers point of view. 

@Macavity Wilko @Hierok You know, I actually understand that notion very well, but I just don't care much for how it was pulled off here, and the lack of respectful adults, the emphasis on specific criticisms, and the lack of subtlety made it feel kinda unfair to me in places. Mostly I just found it unfun though. 

An opinion is just an opinion.

Joshscorcher is just some minority who defend this episode, good job, Josh, but people still hate it .

Thanks for explainin'

Well, Lambdadelta, as someone else who defends this episode, I'm just glad to not feel alone in sort of liking it.
