Unpopular opinions about MLP?

Ooooh, good guess. I was however thinking of one of its derivatives, being the Dante and Vergil from Devil May Cry. If you're unfamiliar with them, the short version is that they are two half-demon brothers who are always eager to get in fights to the death with each other. Doesn't sound very far off from Celestia and Luna from the later seasons, no?

Aaaaaah, yes. Devil May Cry. I mean, some of it is based on the characters from the Divine Comedy. Dante and Vergil were always fighting in that story too hahaha.

I feel like some of the fan service in the later seasons was a bit too much.

I love alicorn Twilight, I just wish they made Magical Mystery Cure a two parter.

I agree with this, and I will go a step further as well. Much of the fanservice came across as ways for them to weasel their way out of paying attention to characters' individual arcs. That may sound odd, but the simplest example I can give is Trivial Pursuit. The entire episode is full of call-backs to past episodes: Zap-Apples. Ghastly Gorge, Cutie Pox, Daring Do, Tirek and Scorpan, Snowfall Frost, and a few other lore bits are referenced throughout the episode. This is also the upteenth episode where Twilight spazzes out, even after learning how to control herself 5 seasons ago. Even with that aside, Twilight relapses on her perfectionism as well, when this was literally covered 11 episodes prior.

These kinds of things are why I just did not enjoy Season 9 very much. Some character regression is acceptable now and then, but this just happened way too many times in latter-day FiM. Especially since most of the time, it seems they weren't even aware that the characters were regressing in the first place. Season 5 Twilight Sparkle feels like a more complete character than Season 9 Twilight Sparkle does at times.

Yep you pretty much nailed it perfectly. I think it was just a mix of them running out of ideas and creativity and trying to cater to the huge fan base of older fans they had.

Never cared about the fandom names for Limestone Pie and Moeh Poneh, before their official names were shown. I don’t even know which names were assigned to

They all had the names of the PAC Man ghosts. Marble and Limestone were Inky and Blinky, the parents were Clyde and Sue. Maude then came out of nowhere and threw a wrench at things

I, fucking LOVE McFlurry

Oh, I get it, Pinkie because of Pinky, the pink ghost . I don’t get the Sue tho . Stil, it would be nice if at least one of said ghosts in Ghostly Adventures shared a voice with  a Pie family member. The closest would be Cylindria, but she’s neither a ghost, nor a classic Pac-Man character

Cozy Glow was the worst character in the show. Not Svengallop, not Trenderhood, Cozy Glow... I want to bonk her with a stick, she's just so urgggh....

Sue was in Ms PAC Man taking Clyde’s place

I like the songs, but the unreleased background music for FiM TV Series and EQG composed by William Anderson with that amazing leitmotif continuity is what really stands out for me, hearing things like Nightmare Moon's theme from the series' first two episodes returning for Luna in A Canterlot Wedding, or the 3 villains themes from S2, S4, S8 including Sombra's from S3 returning for Season 9, it really made my hair stand on end, watching FiM and expecting to hear in a episode past themes return or new ones to show up was truly a very fun experience for me (and made me a bit disappointed with the 2017 movie's score lol), Benjamin Pinkerton's and Sean James Boyer's work in TyT and MyM has been great so far too despite they not being able to do much due to G5's different goal with the small world and character roster, I really liked Heitor Pereira's score for A New Generation too. Truly a shame none of these (except for Daniel Ingram's score for movie 2017) ever got to see a official release...

I don’t know if this is unpopular, as people hardly talk about it, but I prefer Misty’s natural mane colors

I'm not a fan of the redesigned (Better Together) outfits for the Equestria Girls Mane 7, especially Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie's outfits. I like their original outfits better. I know some people weren't fans of the old outfits and I respect their opinions. I'm just sharing my personal opinion.

I know this might not be unpopular but I don't think The "Great and Powerful" Trixie was ever a "villain" even during Magic Duel.
