Well, that put a MASSIVE smile on my face. ^^ I just finished watching one of my favourite episodes of FIM: Luna Eclipsed. *sighs* I love her personality in that episode
The last time I watched FIM was last year (August / September of 2019, to be exact) I stopped watching the show because I had enough of RD saying 'awesome' in every single episode she made an appearance in, twilight having a mental break-down and Trixie saying how "great and powerful" (more like Weak and Helpless) she is. It just got repetitive and annoying. 2, 4, 6, great and the first 5 mins of 'A Trivial Pursuit' are the episodes that broke me. I got past the half-way point of season 9 and I stopped watching the show because I had enough. I dont intend to watch the rest of the show. I'm sorry (...and this is just MY opinion), but the quality of the show took a nose-dive from season 6 onwards.I dunno...there's something bout the old episodes that puts a smile on my face every-time I watch 'em. I used to binge-watch the hell out of Seasons 1 and 2 and they got me through the last years of high school A.K.A the worst years of my life. I love how these episodes were cute, fun and simple, and at the end of each episode, the mane 6 would learn a valuable lesson from their adventures...and these episodes would teach kids how to behave / make friends in the play-ground, etc. (From season 4 onwards, the overall plot of the episode started to become more complex / the show started to become more serious and I feel as if that killed the innocence the first two seasons had. Some would call that progression, but I prefer the simplicity and the cuteness the show had in the earlier episodes / in the beginning. Of course, this is just MY opinion.) I bought the DVD box set of seasons 1 and 2. The first episode I watched was 'The Mysterious Mare Do Well' all the way back in 2013. It's funny. I did not make my OC until 2016 I watched a bunch of pony content 'til I decided that I wanted to be a brony
I can honestly say watching the first two seasons is a great way to cure my depression / boredom ^^ <3
Say, what is YOUR favourite season / episode / pony from the show? as for me? my favourite episode is none other than Luna Eclipsed, my favourite pone is Pinkie Pie and my favourite season is season 2 :3-
While I can definitely see where you’re coming from, I don’t think the series ever declined and while I love the simple stuff, the really intricate stuff from later on is cool too.
The only thing I don’t like about the last seasons is the fact that way too much time was spent with the students who I absolutely can’t stand! They are way too attention-seeking and too often took the spotlight away from the Mane Six, characters who are the reason I’m watching the show in the first place, along with the CMC and the Princesses! It’s supposed to be My Little Pony, not My Little Pathetic Student!
But when that wasn’t happening, I don’t think there was much of a decline. Season Eight had the ‘Mean Six’ and that’s one of my favourite episodes! There are still a lot of great moments that are too many to list and that’s because I’ll always defend everything about FiM! (Except the students)
What I’d give to go back to 2011 though...

Saaaaame man. Absolutely could not stand it. Since S6, despite some bright spots, there were lots of episodes that felt like the writers wanted you to hate the show. I watched a couple of the earlier episodes in the show on the other hand and they still hold up
