Ill be honest I don't think the new writers are very good and are only there Becuase mlp (used to be) very popular. I recently started rewatching some of season 1,2, & 3 episodes and I noticed they still hold up. Every time I watch an older episode I just feel like there was a lot more...care in the writing and the characters that I don't feel watching it now. It dosent help the I feel Josh is a terrible writer.
