Unpopular opinions about MLP?

[PriksCreep 7]

I don't hate cloppers,I also don't think they're creepy or weird. They are human beings and I should treat them as such. (As long as they don't hurt anyone.) 

[The Cynical Lone Wolf 615]

I dont like any of the songs from The Mane Attraction  or the new character  Rara. Im sorry I dont see Rara I see Queen Elsa from Frozen and less I hear her singing voice the better.

[Vox 870]

I can't stand the main theme, it makes me cringe.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

Well, I'm fairly sure I have some unpopular opinions:

 

- I think Fluttershy is annoying more often than endearing.

- Magical Mystery Cure is well-written episode.

- The CMC's cutie marks are awesome and suit them perfectly.

- EQG is awesome and I hope Sunset will make a cameo in the show itself.

- I don't like the Cadance/Shining Armor baby subplot.

-Season 3 was a great season with a lot of classics and only 2-3 duds

-I'm not sure exactly why Vinyl Scratch has such a huge following. I always found her a little boring.

-Magical Mystery Cure was a fantastic episode and aside from being rushed, I don't see why it was so maligned.

-Applejack is best Earth Pony

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

Rarity is best pony and needs more episodes and screentime <3

• Party of one is one of the worst episodes is the series.

• Prince BlueBlood was HILARIOUS, too bad he didn't come back.

• "unpopular opinions" about Twilicorn, (whatever if it's positive or not) are now popular opinions.

• Trixie was an underdeveloped character I feel I they decided to keep her in the show because she was Starlight Glimmer's new friend.

• Thorax is bland.

Celestia is my favorite princess, I just like her design

I wish Twilight had stayed a unicorn, but just because I want the mane 6 to be balanced between 2 earth ponies, 2 pegasi, and 2 unicorns lol

[75ponii 153]

starlight glimmer is an annoying borderline recolor of sunset shimmer that speedran her redempation arc

[HedonismBot 239]

There's another thread for this over here.

Also:

-I had no problem with Twilight growing wings

-I find Pony Life to be fairly entertaining (though not impressive in absolute terms)

[75ponii 153]

oh yea i also forgot to mention i think it wouldve been cooler for twilight to had been a earth pony

it would be nice to really hon in on the term "friendship is magic" by having her magic come from the love of her friends and not her horn

Honestly, Sunset Shimmer's "redemption arc" feels like it wasn't even an arc at all. Turns into a demon, almost hurting a TON of people, and then getting defeated is a redemption arc? Seems kinda rushed in my eyes.

Used the wrong "Arc"-

eh? i mean she kinda had to prove herself as a good person in the second movie and still did some not morally good stuff. she had a lot more time to think on her actions. i will say her as a character reveal was rushed but i think her redemption arc was not

starlights on the other hand? she had a good character reveal but a bad redemption arc

That is true, Starlight had so much potential to be a good character. If the redemption arc wasn't so rushed, she would probably be one of my faves honestly. 

Kinda ruined it for me though you know? Lol

I don’t want to, but I’m being PHYSICALLY COMPELLED to say that it’s “arc”.

”Ark” is a boat. “Arc” in storytelling refers to the rise and fall of a story element.

You’re totally fine. I just HAD to be the, “Um, ACTUALLY” person this time. XD

Pony Life is a lot better than S9

Ehhhh, that's not her redemption arc, that's just the end of the first movie. Rainbow Rocks was literally an entire movie dedicated to giving her a redemption arc

That is true, but like 75ponii said, she still did some not very morally good stuff in the movie. It was rushed in some aspects, but I could give it the benefit of the doubt. She did help stop The Dazzlers to prove she was a good person.

[Landi 600]

Now, I'm not sure if all of these are technically unpopular, but I've seen enough people in the fandom in opposition to these points that I consider them so.

I do not like non-pony characters

I don't like the student six

I wasn't a huge fan of The Last Problem

I don't like shipping the mane six together

Cozyglow should've been reformed

Cloudsdale is the best cannon location

Pegasi are the best type of pony

Unicorns are overrated

 

[kicmarlene 6]

- I think this idea of Pinkie Pie having a personality disorder is dumb. Pikamena is not an evil side of pinkie, PIKAMENA DIANNE PIE IS HER GIVEN NAME.

- I agree with @Landi72 CozyGlow deserved better, they have completely ruined her for me.

- I believe Fluttershy is the most loved of the mane six while Rainbow Dash is the most popular meanwhile Rarity is the least liked out of the mane six while AJ is the least popular.

- Most ships are dumb, sometimes the fandom will ship two characters just for standing next to eachother or will ship just because they only have ONE thing in common ( example: FlutterMac).

- I don't like Discord as much as the others like him and he is probably the most overrated male character of the series.

SugerMac is better than MarbleMac FlutterMac and CherriMac combined 

Starlight Glimmer is a more developed character that Sunset Shimmer. Sunset needed more character development she should've at least have one episode in FIM.

People call characters like AppleJack boring, but praise characters like Derpy Hooves, it's killing me! 

[Sonic Shimmer 4,132]

Rarity x Redemption Arc Blueblood is a good ship

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,446]

Gabby is one of the worst and bland characters ever put into the show.

The movie should not have been acknowledged as canon.

Sea ponies are dumb. 

Tanks for the Memories is not great, but not as bad as most make it out to be.

Cadence is overrated.

Pharynx is underrated.

Fame and Misfortune is the worst episode in the show. 

Season 7 is the best season (minus Fame and Misfortune of course). 

Chrysalis should have been redeemed.

Starright glimmer is a Mary Sue. 

And last but not least;

There should have been an entire episode dedicated to why pizza is the ultimate life form.

[baba_booey 4,302]

"The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone" is honestly one of my favorite episodes of the series in general. I don't really see a lot of people talk about it but I really liked how it handled Gilda's character and gave her a backstory which I had wanted to see ever since I watched Griffon the Brush Off for the first time. Kind of wish Gilda appeared in a major role in later episodes.

[Megas 27,622]

Believe it or not, I actually hate how the second half of the show made me such a cynical bastard towards it
