They should have M.A. Larson write every episode here on out

Please be sarcastic. I really don't want him writing all the episodes. He very low on my favorite writers list for the show. He's not bad but he tends to but a LOT of focus on humor, particularly referential and zany humor, which are not my cup of tea. I also think he works better when there's someone above him to help refine his ideas.

Every episode? That would overwhelm the poor guy... :( While I won't deny I've enjoyed Slice of Life (<3) and MMC, he'd have to be a miracle worker to come up with something fresh 26 times every season and still have enough time for other things in his life. I'm looking forward to more episodes written by him, definitely, but I don't think he should force himself to write unless he already has an idea/ideas in mind... if writing became like a chore to him, the viewers would feel it, I'm sure. I prefer as we have it now; multiple writers, each with their own unique writing quirks and strengths... none of them biting off more than they can chew. ^_^

Give the other writers a chance they are equally as great as he is. The more writers the more flavors in each episode if you think about it.

I'm glad that M.A. Larson was able to give us what we wanted, and I think he's a good writer, but the other writers are good as well. I love the variety of writers for MLP. You can almost tell who wrote what episode because of their style in humor and plot.

Same here, he's one of my least favorite writers of the show.

And even if he was my favorite, I wouldn't want him to be the only writer, they'd better give the others a chance.

He actually wrote one of my least favorite (and almost everyone else's favorite) episodes. He is also bad at writing Rarity. I don't think he intends on writing her poorly because he did defend her actions in Secret of my Excess, but he just can't write her. I love Pinkie Pie. I am Pinkie Pie like. I act like Pinkie Pie a lot. I can even role play here. I cannot write her, though. (I can't say Rarity as my example because I can actually write her.) Rarity is pretty hard to write for some people.

As good as Larson is, there's a reason TV shows have multiple writers. You can't really expect one person to sit down and plan out a whole season's worth of episodes, write the script for all of them, and produce top-notch episodes within the time constraints. You know what they say, two heads are better than one. Naturally, a whole team of writers is better than just one.

 

I've always wondered why the fandom worships Larson so much as if his writing is always flawless. Yes, he has produced some classic fan favorites, but he's not the only one. In my opinion, McCarthy and Rogers are every bit as good, and many of the other writers have delivered excellent episodes as well. Each writer has their share of strengths and weaknesses as well as their own style. We should appreciate the individual talents and efforts of ALL of the show's writers.

-sigh- I hope you're not serious. Having him write every episode would be taxing, no matter how good a writer people believe him to be. He'd burn out quickly, and his storytelling would plummet, leaving fans disappointed. Other writers would be out of the job, if it were all left up to him. Not to mention that it's because the show has such a diverse team or writers on hand that we're able to enjoy certain episode stories that much more, because each writer has something in the way of portraying characters and telling a story that they're best at, and can make up for a storytelling or characterization element that some other writer for MLP might not be so good at. So a strong no to Larson writing for every episode. Can we please use logic and sound reasoning, here?

I've said it before, man, George R. R. Martin should be the head writer.  He'd kill every character except, idk, like, Zecora or something, and then every brony would be (sarcastically) happy.

 

But I think all the writers are pretty good.
