Negima has been criticized for too many characters, but Akamtasu intentionally added charactersto make the world feel very expansive than it already was. Ken made over 80 unique character designs but he developed well over 20 characters. Sometimes I like extra characters, MLP has plenty of them, but they're not ALL intended to be developed.

People are allowed to dislike whatever they want. I don't hate Starlight to the point of having my life compromised... She just irritates me. I originally never liked Discord all that much.... But they were able to do interesting things with Discord that made me soften up to him. And I am just a Sunset Shimmer fan... I understand few don't like her and that's fine. But I was pissed when DHX just essentially made ANOTHER Twilight Sparkle. What made season 5 interesting for me was the cutie map, memorable songs and new characters... I only like Starlight for the Our Town song, other than that. she's a rip off of Sunset Shimmer. She even rips of Twilight. I felt Starlight was added to the show so DHX can rehash the 'lessons and morals' from season 1-3. I am for morals in the episodes.... But if you need to essentially do the "student-teacher" thing which we already did for the first three seasons, I kinda have a good reason to dislike her.

We can assume it was just classic 007 espionage that captured everyone, its what the changelings excel at after all.

Chrysalis is 2 for 2 with plans that worked, Chrysalis was defeated by the plot. Chrysalis also comes prepared and plans several steps ahead, so she is dangerous on her own. Adagio lost her amulet. Tirek lost his magic and body. Does that mean they can't come back? No it doesn't

I view Tirek as Krang and Chrysalis(Shredder) Changelings(Foot Clan) Using that villain type comparison that the changelings are supposed to be the 'anti pony' Hopefully Chrysalis can produce a batch of obedient changelings... Hate to see the normal changelings go extinct.

We aren't the target demographic though, while I think MLP is for everyone, the children watching it outweigh the bronies and its those kids making sure its stuck around.

Haber was great for Friendship Games, but yes I agree, I always viewed Chrysalis as Twilight's arch enemy. This doesn't ruin the finale for me though.

I can imagine the movie's villain is going to be 'evil' itself. I know the movie will have a new villain, and I stated earlier I except it for the movie. I think the series has enough baddies.

Alright, sorry about that. Hoping to get some feedback rolling.

The best finale they have done, and I'm not saying that because I went gaga over Chrysalis the entire time(even she's my favorite villain) This episode took risk, and I love it when artists and writers go against the grain every now and then. This is the first finale, where the Mane 6 were not involved, and it also didn't need an action scene like season 4 to be good. I am making a guess that this was meant to be the first 3 parter finale... I guess someone at DHX wanted to show how everyone was captured, it couldn't be explained in 44 minutes while not feeling rushed. But I appreciate what they did in just two parts, I can tell DHX had fun and put their passion into this finale. Pros: -Kathleen Barr I can tell had a blast reprising Chrysalis again and playing Trixie, especially Chrysalis, she just oozed evil, malice and a cold heart through her dialogue. -We finally got to see what fans called the "badlands" and see what a changeling hive looks like. I was satisfied as it is supposed to be the opposite of where the cheerful and friendly ponies reside in Equestria. -I am on/off with Discord, but dam was this his best episode. Not just the interactions with Trixie, but it was fair to see him in a position of vulnerability. He is also making more friends, as we can assume him and Trixie could be forming something. Discord has been excellent in season 6, not so much in season 5. -For 44 minutes, I didn't think the narrative was rushed. I know they need to do so much in under an hour, but come on people, this isn't the Cutie Re Mark where it was just about alternate reality gimmicks instead of focusing on an actual story. Even though I am unsure of what season 6's theme was, The Thorax character was resolved with this finale and it was worth it. Chrysalis in my opinion had enough screen time and there was never a filler moment in these two episodes. Chrysalis throws Starlight to the wall Cons: -Just not digging Starlight people. Cool if people like her and while my favorite episode of her's was a Hearth's Warming Tale, I just felt character paled in comparison to Trixie and Discord's dynamic. I also don't like Glimmer being Chrysalis's new obsession.. So much for the trouble Twilight caused 4 seasons ago. -Explain why Celestia and Luna are the Yamcha of MLP? Is it a rule of thumb Celestia needs to be humiliated all the time. -They hint at a possible future reformation..... All I can say is..... Godspeed Chrysalis, may the universe guide a human's typing hand to NOT make you reformed.

RANKING: Season 6 Season 4 Season 2 Season 3 Season 1 Season 5

My man Jim Miller of course. Can't go wrong with someone from Ed Edd Eddy

I am happy it wasn't the mane 6 doing it again. I just would have rather had Susnet Shimmer be in her place.

How would you rank the villains? Best to worst?

Story isn't enough to carry an episode? That is a crucial and dire element.
