What is your favorite/worst season of MLP so far?

 

I personally loved Season 4, it having the best villains, and I loved the end of it.. pretty much the MLP Kamehameha there!

I also loved the opening of Season 5, but I'd really have to see the end of it to see if I liked it more than 4 or not.

 

My least favorite season was Season 1, despite it being the beginning. The reasons I don't like it are the fact that it seemed more childish than the rest, I really despise Nightmare Moon as a villain, and just idk. I really didn't like it that much >3< Ya know what I mean?

 

But yeah, vote above and list your reasons below!!

 

Sorry if this was already made, I haven't seen one ever >3<

Not sure about best, but 3 was shit. The only good episode imo was the Trixie ep. 

 

Season 5 gets saved from at least starting out good, having Moondancer, and having Maud come back. The only thing Season 3 has over 5, is 5 has "Princess Spike"...

Did you not like Princess Spike? I really loved it personally, it showed that Spike is still a young adolescent, showing that he cannot handle power as much as a Princess like Twilight.

Yes, he's a good helpful servant to Twi, but he had never had power before. It's sort of how a normal 14 year old would act if they got the power of a Princess randomly.

Season 4 is my personal favorite so far, with 2 being close behind. Though 5 might end up taking that trophy, but I'll wait until it's finished to see...

 

 Least favorite is probably season 3. I actually like it quite a bit, it's really only my least favorite because there's only half as much to like as all the others. :P

Nope. We already had two episodes about Larson's fetish with "LOL SPIKE IS STOOPID", we didn't need another one...and every pony in Canterlot is apparently too damn stupid to not only make decisions on their own, but also realize there's THREE other princesses.

Didn't we just have a topic like this a few weeks back? 

 

Anyways I don't count season 5 cause A) it's still airing and B ) I give it a few months to help even it out cause when it airs it has a more immediate emotional reaction which can bias my opinion on it. 

 

Anyways my favorite season is season 2, cause it is the most consistent seasons overall and had a ton of classic episodes in it. 

 

Least is probably season 3 though that's just averaging out cause it has two of my least favorite episodes and two eh ones even thought it also contains my top 2 favorite episodes of the show thus far. Still a good season though.

Favorite is season 4 because that's where most of my favorite episodes come from (Pinkie Pride, Rarity Takes Manehatten, Bats!, Testing Testing 1 2 3, etc...)

I also really like season 2.

 

My least favorite so far is season 5 because the only episode I've really liked so far is Amending Fences. The Cutie Map is also my least favorite two-parter of the show, with Princess Spike being my least favorite episode of the entire show so that's not helping. If it gets better in the second half then maybe it'd get pushed up, just depends.

Yeah I can understand that, so I guess I can't argue any further :3

Best - I have to give it to Season 4 so far as it has some of the best episodes so far and Season 5 looks like it's catching up to it.

 

Worst - Season 1, easily. The show hit its stride around Season 2, and while I liked the first season, it was really rough compared to the others. It had the most bad episodes out of all the seasons and tackled some issues REALLY poorly.

Season 5 is on its way to becoming my favorite season, despite me not liking the premiere much. It already has some of my favorite episodes in the entire show. 

 

Season 4 is currently my favorite though. It offered great progression for the show, the over-arching keys aspect, it gave us many awesome new characters, and Tirek was a pretty beastly villain. 

 

Least favorite: Season 1. It was a simpler time and I appreciate what the first season did, but it clearly was fairly by the numbers. Even the finale, while good, was not even really a finale at all. Season 2 is where the show really started to pick up. Season 3, many hate it but I really enjoyed it honestly. I might have a bit of bias thanks to it being my first season I got to watch as it happened, but I don't think it is as bad as many think.

Pretty much the same thing as me here :P

I like all of the seasons but I have to say that I love season 4 the most.

And that season 1 is the one that I like the least.

So far I would rank the seasons in this order:

4>5>2>/=3>1

Season 5A has been consistently good.

 

Season 4 (for the most part) was good, but it still had its REALLY bad episodes and mediocre ones.

 

Season 3 I think was actually overall pretty good. It has my least favorite episode of the show (One Bad Apple), but it also has some good episodes (Crystal Empire, Too Many Pinkie Pies, Magic Duel, Magical Mystery Cure)

 

Season 2 had both good and bad episodes with very little mediocre. Thankfully, there's more good than bad, but there's still some bad.

 

Season 1 is easily the worst, being an "okay" season. It didn't get good until "Suited for Success" and the only episodes I'd consider good to great before then are "Dragonshy" and "Call of the Cutie". 

 

Problem is, Season 5 hasn't ended. This would be a lot easier to answer if it was individual episodes instead of entire seasons.

 

EDIT:

 

I think for some clarification, I'll do this:

 

The # is the amount of episodes that fit into their categories.

 

Season 1:

 

Good-Amazing: 13

Mediocre-Decent: 9

Bad-Terrible: 4

 

Season 2:

 

Good-Amazing: 14

Mediocre-Decent: 7

Bad-Terrible: 4

 

Season 3:

 

Good-Amazing: 8

Mediocre-Decent: 2

Bad-Terrible: 3

 

Season 4:

 

Good-Amazing: 17

Mediocre-Decent: 4

Terrible-Bad: 3

 

Season 5:

 

Good-Amazing: 10

Mediocre-Decent: 3

Terrible-Bad: 0

I really dislike what Season 3 brought to the table in general, the rushing, the rough characterization... I have yet to watch Season 5, but for now I'd rank my faves as equally Season 2 and Season 4, with Season 1  being in the middle. I think 2 gets a lot of help from nostalgia, but a lot of strong episodes were there as well. 4 was, for me, quite strong and had the least general character deviations.

Season 3 is DEFINITELY the worst for me. Feels horribly phoned in, with massive amounts of mediocrity, and the premier is the episode that i feel is literally THE WORST episode of FIM. Even MMDW is better to me.

 

 

Best? Tough call,but I'll go with season 2. Its got such an incredible premier, and some great episodes, like hurricane fluttershy and return of harmony. I didn't care too much for A canterlot wedding, but was at least pleasantly surprised by the changelings and chrysalis, who are some of my favorite villains (And fan favorites all around!).

 

 

 

 

That being said, i will say this: the ONLY seasons with a finale that I'd accept as an End to the entire series are Season 1 (Best night ever) or Season 4.
Season 4, with the castle sprouting up, the mane six all coming together and "let the rainbow remind you" had a great end feel to it, reminding you of the friendship of all the six, how they've grown as ponies, and what the series means.

Best night ever focused on the mane six, their friendship, and how even if things don't turn out as you think they will, you still have your friends to count on.

 

 

Season 2? the Wedding was an outlier of an episode in that it was there to introduce 2 brand new characters; it didn't wrap up or touch on the mane six as a group, and as such would have been a TERRIBLE ending to a series about six friends as they were essentially guest stars in that episode (apart from twilight).

 

Season 3's finale I hated, and would have found to be a terrible end to the series as well (Thank god we got Season 4!).

Season 1 is on par with Season 3 as worst season? I'm shocked.

 

S2>S4>S1>S3>S5

 

I'm surprised too. I kind of wonder how many old school bronies we have here with that ranking :/

Like, I'll admit its not "the best", but its still nowhere near the worst and has some of the best episodes of the series, like FWF, Sonic rainboom and dragonshy.

So far, my favorite season would be Season 2. It had my favorite finale, a lot of my favorite episodes, and cool songs. It also introduced Discord and Queen Chrysalis.

 

Season 5 would be my least favorite season so far. As of now, it hasn't impressed me too much, save for two episodes (i.e. Amending Fences and The Cutie Map). However, I've liked most of the episodes, so I still have faith in the second half.

 

As far as rankings go, here's mine:

  1. Season 2
  2. Season 4
  3. Season 1
  4. Season 3
  5. Season 5

I agree somewhat. I'd rank 5 over 3, but besides that its the same. (I'll admit to feeling S5 has been stagnant, but I think its quality is still decent)

Best: Season 4. It has a lot of my favorite episodes (Pinkie Pride, Twilight's Kingdom, etc.)

Worst: Season 1. While I do think it's a good season, I find it to be the weakest. The show got much better during season 2.
