Quality of S6.

[NeonCobalt 256]

Ah yes, it wouldn't be the Brony fandom without doom mongering. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the doom and gloom attitude some people seem to have is the one thing I don't like in this otherwise awesome fandom.

 

No, I am not concerned about the quality of S6. The 2-Minute preview looked promising, and the synopses We have gotten for the next few episodes after the premiere sound interesting.

So we've got one of these threads, eh?

 

Well, I'm not really concerned, I don't think the quality will drop. I find the new seasons better than the old ones anyway.

I know what you mean.  C'mon people it's a cartoon! XD

 

 

 

Wrong way

 

Right way

I have faith. I think they will pull of a solid season. there was only a couple in season 5 that I didn't like but overall I think it was another great season.

[Luna the Great of all the Russias 2,984]

Considering that Bronies used to believe that season 2 would end Bronydom because Lauren Faust left, I'm not going to worry too much about it. Remember history people (unless you joined Bronydom after 2011 in which case I guess you were not there for that history).

We survived without Larson before. Season four was so far my favorite season, and Larson didn't write it (not that I have anything against him, his episodes are pretty good). Also Josh ain't that bad. His episodes are actually pretty good (except for his first one, Castle Mane-ia). We got Ed Valentine coming back and both of his episodes were awesome! 

 

Season six actually looks pretty promising! We get to know what the CMCs are up to now, Spike is finally gonna have an episode more people will enjoy, and I for one like Starlight and she has great potential. Even though you're probably right about her being reformed too soon, but I still think she'll be a good character! Season six will be the best season ever! You'll see!

And as for the CMC, I kinda doubt it, they could drift apart by going their own separate ways...That's why I should've NOT let the CMC got their marks in the first place...Their story could be done...But who knows!

No why would I go into something expecting it to be bad? That's just a self fulfiling prophecy usually.

Also The Cutie Remark while not the best two parter was pretty good mostly ( was better than Canterlot Wedding, The Pilot, Crystal Empire at least, probably about on par with Princess Twilight Sparkle) and Bloom and Gloom was a fantastic episode seriously it's quite literally the only good Apple Bloom solo episode in 5 seasons. Leap of Faith was just alright I guess, and Castle-Mania was a solidly funny if rather pointless episode. So I don't know why people worry about Haber so much (more importantly do we even KNOW if he's the showrunner or are we just running into assumptions here? Hell do we even KNOW if he's WRITING for S6?)

The absence of Larson doesn't bother me in the least.  I experienced far more trepidation concerning the season five finale than I am currently experiencing over the season six premiere.  And if you're already poised to dislike something, you're probably going to dislike it.  It's a, you know...  A wossname.  A...  Self-fulfilling prophecy.  Of sorts.

[Riganthor 484]

am i worried? Yes even more after seeing the promo for the season opener but ithink no I hope with everything I have that we are all wrong and that this will be another stellar season

[AtomicStone 724]

I do have my concerns, yeah.. I hope I'm wrong but I feel as though they may take a different approach with this season, it won't live up to expectations and it will ultimately be the last season of the show that we see.. 

[LeafFerret 3,382]

Although, I would like to see some development from the main characters, the one thing I don't want to see is seeing Twilight moving to a minor role from being the protagonist. Her being the protagonist is pretty much the reason why I like her the most and seeing her changing roles would make me change my opinion on her and I also don't want Starlight to take over Twilight's role. I just wished she didn't look like some generic looking pony that the creators came up with in 5 minutes.

The "Explore Equestria" toyline theme makes me very optimistic about the upcoming season! (Assuming that the show reflects the toyline's theme... But it usually does, doesn't it?)

 

Don't know about you guys, but I enjoy the episodes that take place outside of Ponyville! Exploring other locations provides nice worldbuilding opportunities and I'd like to see more of that. 

[PiratePony 8,475]

Season 6 was made at the same time as Season 5, without any break in between, so I'm going to say that the quality of the season will continue.

 

This came from a question posed to Big Jim at Ponycon. He said something along the lines of "there was no break. Episodes in both were made at the same time. " not exact quote.

[PacificGreen 1,163]

I think you have a right to feel apprehensive about it, but I-m just gonna give it a chance.

 

In all honesty I'm not very hyped up for the upcoming season. But then again we only know the synopses of four of the episodes, so maybe more exciting episodes are to come.

[silvadel 1,393]

If you work at something too long you risk being typecast.  People are taking deals.  This is if anything a great opportunity for some new writers and it could bring more freshness to the show than a loss in quality.

 

I will agree that I am concerned about Starlight Glimmer though.

[PacificGreen 1,163]

Also I don't think people are necessarily judging the upcoming season as much as they have concerns about it. I believe there's a difference.

[Tao 7,756]

Somehow with our writers who bring some good life and moments to show,  I'm a little iffy right now but if they got some new writers.   Well I will cast my thoughts after seeing what they can do for the show maybe the term "corporate take over"  might also be in the push to not have the normal writers in season six.

[Faze Five 61]

Yup, i feel the same, the S5 was like a rollercoaster in terms of quality, and Glimmer doesn't help. I can only hope that the new guys and the rest of the old ones make a good job.

The only good this worrying is doing is making everyone who isn't worrying already worry

 

Stop making me anxious ;-;

[PacificGreen 1,163]

I suppose the reason why I'm not too excited for this season is because there's so much focus on the premiere. Honestly I'm not a very big fan of Shining Armor & Cadance episodes and royalty episodes in general (I mean I can definitely watch them but I'll probably only watch them once or twice) so I have a feeling the premiere will be kinda eh for me, what with the royal baby and Sunburst and Starlight's friendship somehow tying into that plot (which I feel might be better if it were its own episode, to give it a more personal focus). But like I said, I'm willing to give it a chance, and hopefully they can it make something interesting.

 

But we also have episodes focusing on Maud Pie and the CMC thinking about the next step in their lives, a point I was hoping they'd get to soon. I'm a fan of those characters, so I think I'm a little more optimistic about those episodes.

 

(My favorite princess-focused episode is probably Luna Eclipsed, but only because it was as much about Luna being adorkable as it was about her as a princess.)

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I honestly don't care who wrote the episodes, though I'll admit I tend to enjoy Larson's episodes most. Still, I feel that in general the writers have always come up with decent episodes and I don't think that will change this time around. The one thing I worry about is Flurry Heart. I just don't like anything about her.
