this might be difficult :0 top five: 1) Twilight Sparkle 2) Cloudchaser 3) Sprout Greenhoof 4)Princess Luna 5) Minty (I know she was just in a post-series short, but it still counts ) least favorite: 1) Moondancer 2) Lightning Dust 3) Sludge 4) Suri Polomare 5) Svengallop There are verrrry few non-antagonist characters I dislike! And I don't even dislike a lot of the villains in the show

Oh boy. I love complaining and being nitpicky, this is the forum for me but in all seriousness, I don't outright /hate/ any episodes... but there are certainly some that i have opinions on I'll just organize by season for simplicity. I pretty much love seasons one and two, so I'll start with three: One Bad Apple: Kind of a given here. I thought the episode was good, and sympathized with the CMC, and it honestly has one of the best songs in the series IMO. It just ended weird. Suddenly you can't follow through on your revenge scheme, because what? You decide you're better than Babs Seed at the last minute? Honestly I think the whole parade thing should've been followed through, so the CMC [or at least Apple Bloom and Scoots] could realize that it's bad to hurt other ponies, while Babs gets a taste of her own medicine. Sweetie Belle could run off beforehand and get an adult like Applejack, idk. It was just handled weird. I certainly never felt that much sympathy for my bullies growing up [Season 4] Bats!: Ok, this is a big one for me. For context, I come maaaaany generations of farmers. I'm saving up to own my own small farm. I am ALSO an animal lover, and a big supporter of animal welfare. This episode made no sense to me. Applejack has a devastating pest that could drive her farm out of business, and what is Fluttershy's response? "Just be kind to them because they're animals"? I know it's a kid's show, but if someone asked me or my neighbors to not... "deal" with the predators that damage our flocks, I'm sure we'd all be right pissed. And we're just hobby farmers. Applejack farms apples for her entire family's living. It's extremely selfish Fluttershy to have Applejack give an entire orchard to them just to appease her. I swear, if there were an episode about invasive species the writers would have Fluttershy side with them too. [Season 5] Bloom and Gloom: Honestly not much to say about this one, it was just poor writing. And kinda confusing. The entire episode was just dream sequence after dream sequence and it all just boiled down to "Applebloom stresses about her cutie mark". Meh Amending Fences: This is my least favorite episode in the series. Won't get on my soap box for this one, but Moondancer is annoying and whiny. Sure she can be upset with Twilight for missing her party, but she shut herself off from the rest of her friends and then acted like she wasn't to blame for that. Also Twilight literally left by Princess Celestia's orders so idk. Very weird episode for me What About Discord?: I don't /hate/ this one, but it's hard to watch. Twilight's friends really should have picked up on the fact that they were leaving her out in conversations, it's just rude to make jokes someone's not in on constantly. But hey, it's also a good lesson for kids, so eh. I mostly give this one a pass cause I do ship TwiCord, and it's funny that Discord basically just wants Twi's attention the whole time (or at least that's how I interpret it (Same with the episode Three's a Crowd) [Season 6] No Second Prances: I thought Twi and Trixie had resolved their differences? One of the first examples of the Mane 6's character development getting trashed on to develop other characters [Season 7] A Flurry of Emotions: Twilight you are watching a baby, you need to pay attention to it. (I don't like Flurry Heart, or babies in general for that matter.. but cmon) Fame and Misfortune: If you're gonna make an entire episode about how Flaws Are Natural and No One Is Perfect, at least make sense of it. It was pretty much just an episode dedicated entirely to mocking fan complaints (sure, most of them were nit-picky complaints, but still). It was mostly the lack of self-awareness for me. As if the writers weren't aware that any flaws in the show are /their/ fault? Because the characters are all fictional? I liked the song though, so points for that. [Season 8] Non-Compete Clause: Again, the writers backtracking on the Mane 6's character development just to benefit the new characters. Rainbow I could understand, but Applejack, really? Putting students in danger just for a competition? I don't think even Rainbow would go that far. The Mean 6: All that build up to Chrysalis finally making a return for literally NOTHING to happen the entire episode. Also, the dialogue for the Mean 6 was..... yeowch Father Knows Beast: Spike learns about emotional manipulation. I guess. [Season 9] The Last Problem: Made me cry. Not allowed Woof! Lots of words there. Thanks for sticking with me if you actually read all that cx
