Are people losing interest in the Mane 6?

[Sly 236]

Hey. I think this topic is due considering what's happened lately. In case it wasn't clear (which is unlikely as I've been very vocal about it in the last six months), I hate To Where and Back Again,  for a single reason: it treated the MANE 6 like trash with no value only to make the story working, and that was pretty much the reason I've been so pessimistic for the S7 before it started. However at the times I've seen an overwhelmingly appreciation for that episode and people didn't even bothered of that problem (yes, as much the episode can be liked or disliked, the fact that the Mane 6 are kidnapped completely in off screen without giving a logic explanation of how that happened IS a writing flaw. Nobody can deny it) making me feeling that their love for the Mane 6 is pretty much debateable.

Well.... from what I'm seeing the story is repeating itself here: from what I'm seeing Rock Solid Friendship is the most appreciated episode of the S7 so far, but that episode had a problem with Pinkie's portrayal. She was so screamy and over the top for the whole episode. Don't get me wrong, I still really liked the episode for the other stuffs, but Pinkie's portrayal dragged a bit my enjoyment for it, an it's currently my least favorite episode of the season (relatively speaking thought, keep it in mind).

And on the opposite side.... we have Fluttershy Leans In which shows Fluttershy at her best, paying off all the things she learned between the years..... and the episode gets bashed.... 

Ok yes I know that the story was simplistic but IMO Fluttershy's characterization was so strong that pulled the whole episode alone, but people seem failing to see that and bash the episode just for its simplicity. 

Maybe it's just me but I'm starting to feel people forgot that the Mane 6 are the ones who made them loving the show in the first place. I think that's very unfair.... I really hope now the Movie won't become overhated because "HAS THE MANE 6 AS PROTAGONISTS HURR DURR" or something like that. 

Am I the only who is seeing this? Or you think I'm just Overthinking?

To me, it sounds like some people simply want the mane 6 to stay entirely in the character they were when those people started watching the show. Pinkie, before she was usually crazy random and didn't have a lot of depth, so some people probably want her to stay like that. Same with Flutters, who was almost always shy, timid, anxiety-riddled, and now her character is gaining a lot more ground and perhaps that doesn't get on the good side of people.

I can understand this position really, our first times experiencing this show can be, well, quite magical and how the characters were in those moments would be what sticks with us, usually. It is also very opinion driven, as I hated how Pinkie was in episode 4, and while I have not yet watched the newest episode with Flutters, I am not sure I like the sound her of being overly serious as she has been lately. Preferences and such.

[FizzyGreen 909]

While i agree with Pinkie acting too annoying, we still have to remember: It is Pinkie! She can be obnoxious at times! Like really. Still, clumsy Spike is faar worse in my opinion.

And yes, i have recently told my friend, who doesn't watch the show anymore, about S6Last and S7E1&2. At first he was a little disgusted by the fact that Starlight is pretty much a main character with Trixie. But after think about it a little, we have come to the conclusion, that it's just logical, because we now had what? Like 5 Seasons of Mane 6 Characterization and Development? Of course! What else will you do with them? Not only have they been characterized, they also shined with their characters, but like i said, after 5 or 6 seasons of that there just isn't so much you can do with those characters! You can try to add the same conflicts over and over again and try to convey them differently while making the characters all act completely out of character, but that is gonna make the show degrade in quality. It will just be the same over and over again.

And all the episodes, even the two parters, are too short to do something interesting with the characters, which is probably why the episodes seem all too short for me, except the new ones actually. That is why we will have a movie about the mane 6. To make them really rock the stage one last time. Because 20 or 42 Minutes just aren't enough to get something like this done.

Well, I've no intention of staying one minute longer on this show if after the Movie writers will "pander" the fans by turning the Mane 6 into something like Circus clowns.

Almost six years have been passed since I started watching the show, and while I really like almost all the secondary characters, the Mane 6 are still the reason I mainly watch this show AND I'm hyped for the Movie.  And replacing them is the last thing I want. 

Edited May 1, 2017 by Sly

[Hierok 11,833]

Some people do, but for me? I like the mane 6, but there must be characters who replace or rather work with mane 6 members. Like Maud, who now lives in Ponyville, can play a great part. In Fluttershy Leans on I was expecting her to help with building the sanctuary. Liked to see Starlight helping out and I really liked that, and that is what I mean. Starlight has her own storie, running with the mane 6. Like to see that more often.

[Batbrony 16,087]

I think you're overstating this problem just a bit.  People don't want to see the Mane 6 OOC, and maybe there's less things to do with them now than there were before (at least in terms of how much their characters can grow still), but people still want the Mane 6 to be the center of the show.  They just don't mind that new faces are in the limelight more these days since there's a little more to do with them, like Starlight or Trixie as a fully reformed character, things like that.  I can't really comment on "Fluttershy Leans In" since I haven't even seen that episode yet (and I'm not sure where you would've seen it early, but no need to link me), but just let this season develop, the Mane 6 will get plenty of good moments I'm sure.

Well, if anything writers are just starting to SLIGHTLY struggle in doing that. I effectively didn't like Pinkie in Rock Solid Friendship, but Twilight's handling in Celestial Advice and A Flurry of Emotions and Fluttershy's one in Fluttershy Leans In proved me that writers can still do good things with them. But while you guys have a point on this, I still watch the show mainly for the Mane 6, and I effectively don't know how much longer writers can keep this up..... I think I'll just leave my "fate" in the Movie. My feelings towards it and its handling of the Mane 6 will be what will make me deciding what to do. If quitting or not.

[LeafFerret 3,382]

I don't think it's the whole Mane 6, AJ, Rarity, Fluttershy and RD still have their great moments. Pinkie can get annoying sometimes and it wasn't until the last episode until somepony finally done something about her actions as they were mostly quiet about it. Twilight although she has done a lot in the show, I feel that she is running the show to the ground, why is it after 7 seasons that she had learnt something that she should have thought of earlier and I feel that her episodes are not as interesting as they were back then, I didn't even attempt to watch the Flurry episode because I feel that it would be one of those episodes again, the last episode I got excited when not only Starlight appeared but she appeared without Twilight or Trixie alongside her so we got to see what she was like in her free time which is something I would like to see more often, so yeah, times do change sometimes.

[SugarCoatxMarblePie 701]

Pinkie was acting like Twilight when Twilight was overbearing on Glimmer and it was from the same writer. That is going to harm the reputation of the 6 a little. Its also moderately forced character development. And Flutter's episode was good, but it was predictable in which case I just zoomed along the boring parts. It was also a case of pointless conflict, but I guess random misfortunes do happen and Flutter being slightly shy still, maybe they just didn't care about her concerns because she wasn't aggressive from the start. I would love for the canterlot animals to not pay attention to her again tho, it'd be like a throwback repeat gag, and it could've been an actual source of development rather than just dealing with a roadblock. But the episode ain't bad technically, just a little slow/non-entertaining at times. Plus they would need to engineer an excuse to go to the gala, and it'd be a third time, 2/3 of which would be Flutter's episodes(sorta), so that might not have worked either.

You should honestly give the newest Flurry episode a chance.  Not only is Flurry ridiculously adorable, but Twilight actually learned a lesson which made sense for her to be learning at this point.  I understand your complaints that too much focus is put on her sometimes, and I do think that that is very often the case (despite the fact that I can admit she is the main character of the show), but really I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by this one.  It was a slice of life episode that made perfect sense for Twilight at this stage in her life and development as a character.

It's odd, Nick Confalone hasn't really had any duds as a writer on the show but I will say that his strength seems to be comedy and not the more serious aspects of the show.  His best episodes by far have been either great comedic romps like "Saddle Row Review" or "Dungeons and Discord" that don't really have much of a lesson to them, or great slice of life affairs like "Party Pooped" or "Hearthbreakers" (both of which had great writing for Pinkie, so we know he does get how to write her well, at least in a slice of life aspect).  Even "No Second Prances," while it led to the development of Starlight and Trixie as friends, didn't have the deepest lesson really, at least not in execution; they're likable in their interactions but I've seen far more serious lessons presented in the show or executed far more seriously.  His strength as a writer seems to be zany comedic set-ups (The yaks in "Party Pooped," the insanity of "Saddle Row Review," Discord doing literal RPG simulations with his chaos magic in "Dungeons and Discord," the Pies having weird holiday traditions, etc.) but "Rock Solid Friendship," the closest thing he has to a bad episode by virtue of Pinkie alone, needed to be a little more low key and less crazy in its execution, because none of the antics Pinkie got up to even felt necessary to the execution of the episode itself, it felt as forced to the audience as it did to Maud and Starlight.

[Goat-kun 2,531]

You should ask yourselves: is it the fault of a character for not being developed in a way to entertain the masses? Bringing background drivel into the fold in an attempt to regain the magic lost by what most of you seem to regard as unfathomable whims of divine causality, independent of human influence and understanding: is restarting this circle really a sign of foresight, or is it a sign of helplessness? The course of a circle shall never change. We will.

[BastementSparkle 20,335]

No, some people might be losing interest in the mane six, but I don't think everyone is. Some of them are probably just gaining an interest in the newer characters as well. I enjoyed "To Where and Back again" for a lot of reasons, yes not showing how the M6 and the others were kidnapped was maybe a bit of a problem, but it's not an episode ruining one for me as that two-parter has so many good parts otherwise. Same with Rock Solid Friendship, Pinkie was a little overly-loud and obnoxious for my liking, but that's not totally out of character as she get's like that sometimes, and otherwise I enjoyed the episode a ton for other reasons. It's not like the writers messing up with a bit of something in episodes is a totally new thing.

 For me though...I just really like Starlight, and Trixie, and Maud, and Discord, etc. I love the Mane six too, they're still my top favorite characters in the show and some of my favorite fictional characters ever. But we've had 6 seasons with them so far, not that there's not more to do with them, but it's good to see some other characters getting to share the spotlight too now. 

[PacificGreen 1,163]

I personally think the issue is that we're already really familiar with the Mane Six, and these characters have already grown so much and saved Equestria so often that there isn't much else to do with them plotwise. It's pretty hard to come up with meaningful conflicts for them without making them lapse into their former tendencies, kinda like Pinkie did in RSF, and doing that is likely to anger many a fan.

I actually liked the Season 6 finale BECAUSE of the fact that the Mane Six weren't able to save the day and somepony else was put in the spotlight. It gave Starlight and the others a chance to shine like they hadn't before. So while the Mane Six were relegated to nearly useless there, it at least gave the other less developed characters their awesome moments.

And I think that's what I've been liking about the show as of late. The episodes where other ponies are given a chance to shine. The map episodes (as contrived as the concept of the Cutie Map is). The Mane Attraction. The Fault in Our Cutie Marks. And often those episodes had the mane characters teaching and guiding the new ponies to become better friends. So while I may be losing interest in Mane Six-centric episodes, I feel like they're the best when they involve interacting with new or recurring characters and helping them become better ponies.

I guess this is kind of the reason why Fluttershy Leans In wasn't exactly a favorite of mine. I know a lot of people praise the ep for how much Fluttershy has grown and shown that she's more than capable of standing her ground when necessary, but the new characters were primarily there to get in her way, with not much meaningful stuff done with them. 

Just my personal preference.

 

[SaeMyName 1]

Personally I don't think so. Starlight and Trixie seem to be around to just freshen up the show more. I actually liked that the season 7 opener wasn't the conventional 2 part adventure opener and it actually worked splitting it into two separate plots. 

[Lambdadelta 1,462]

Yeah, i admit that i am getting less invested for mane 3, including Rainbow Dash, Twilight and especially Applejack (the worst mane 6 member).

Talk about my investment for each member of mane 6, over 6 season, with numbers.

Twilight Sparkle:

S1: 30% S2: 60% S3: 60% S4: 40% S5: 50% S6: 35%

Twilight is getting boring after she became a princess, she just become a different person, not in the interesting way. Her screentime is getting less, and her story arcs is getting no where. She still get some good moments but they just some few moments to remind me why i like this character in the early 3 season. I feel like the writers dont care about her as much as they should, she is the main character for god sake.

Rainbow Dash:

S1: 50% S2: 50% S3: 40% S4: 50% S5: 40% S6: 30%

I like Rainbow Dash in S1 for her unique design, her athletic, her awesomeness, this kind of character should be the character who do awesome stuffs, kick some butts but season after season, she is more like an idiot, started with Rainbow Fall. Her episodes still enjoyable but her story arcs is not interesting to me, i didnt even care she can join Wonderbolt organization  not so Newbie Dash didnt offence me. I hope they can come up with more interesting stories after she became a Wonderbolt, she joined a freaking military organization, can we make an episode where she has a mission, fly along with Spitfire and kick some monster ass? is her favorite dream to kick some changeling ass??? Not some episode where she is an idiot like Cart or 28 Pranks Later?

Fluttershy:

S1 : 50% S2: 60% S3: 40% S4: 40% S5: 35% S6: 40%

Fluttershy didnt have any big story arcs like Twilight or Rarity, but her struggles to become more assertive have interested me since S2, but her stories are getting repetitive, they are about her being shyyyy~~~  Why cant writers come up with more interesting stories? Is just this character's limitation or the writers are getting lazy? After her fantastic character progression in S6, i think the writers are just lazy. I want to see more Fluttershy episode...

I read some mixed comments about her S7 episode. I havent seen it yet. Dont fail me, writers, i am starting to want more Fluttershy episodes...

Pinkie Pie:

S1: 60% S2: 70% S3: 40% S4: 50% S5: 50% S6: 40%

I am Pinkie fan so i will be a bit biased . I am always exciting for her episode because her episodes always have one thing i want from every mlp episodes or cartoon in general: FUN. I am getting less invested for her due to lack of story arcs but i still enjoy her presense, her funny antics are not always working, and her character is sometime so annoying, i have to admit that, but i still want to see more of her. Her presense alone can sometimes make an episode for me, unlike..........

Applejack: 

S1: 50% S2: 40% S3: 40% S4: 30% S5: 25% S6: 20%

The most boring member of the mane 6. Her supporting role is fine but over half of her episodes are ranged from just Good to Mediocre. Everytime i knew there will be an Applejack episode, i am prepared for disappointment, she got 3 worst episodes in my list (Somepony to Watch Over me, Made in Manehattan, APPLEJACK DAY OFF ) and some are just OK episodes and some rare gems. Every other members of mane 6 had more than 5 amazing episodes, all of them had their classic episodes not just one, even Applejack's best episode cant compare to any of her friend.

Sometime, I watched an Applejack's episode, i thought : What a waste of episode slot, they should made a Fluttershy episode or Twilight one... 

Rarity:

S1: 40% S2: 50% S3: 20% S4: 60% S5: 60% S6: 60%

At first, she is a stereotype girl who love fashion, rich guys and fame and then she become the second most well-round character in the group. She getting less annoying every season despite some out of character moments, she is more lovely, pleasant to watch. Her mannerism is the best out of the group. I definately want to see more of her. MORE marshmallon pony.

 

Half of the mane 6 had already lost my interests, i hope the writers can fix that or at least dont let the other half suffer the same fate.

Sure, the mane six being captured offscreen clearly only exists to get them out of the way, and it's slightly distracting, but I don't think they need to be present in every single adventure episode. People say they were "treated badly," but they were barely even in it, and I appreciate that their absence gave room for Starlight and company to be great. Furthermore, I feel like being captured gives them a bit more vulnerability, especially Twilight, who sometimes seems like she doesn't do anything wrong anymore, so having someone so clearly get the best of her is refreshing.

Spoiler

Okay, but here's the thing: that strong characterization was largely established in earlier episodes, and she faced no meaningful internal conflict or character development in "Fluttershy Leans In." Retaining character traits I like doesn't help when the actual story of the episode bores me to tears, and besides, my problems with the episode are mostly everything around Fluttershy, although the fact that she doesn't struggle with anything aside from others acting poorly bothers me a great deal as well. Honestly, I think people are overstating Fluttershy's characterization; if she doesn't learn anything, who cares? I could just rewatch "Flutter Brutter" or "Viva Las Pegasus" and get an arguably better depiction of her.

Funny thing, actually. Because the movie will be releasing to a wide audience, I think it's more likely that it won't have enough of the mane six, or at least that they won't learn a whole lot from the experience, because they can't necessarily bring up details which new audiences would be less familiar with. I'm not even sure if they could have big changes to the characters which viewers of the show might wind up missing, although that seems more likely.

[FlareGun45 2,221]

No, I still love the Mane Six! They're still interesting characters that could always use some development here and there! We already got a decent amount of Pinkie development, a great amount Twilight development, and an awesome amount of... 

...Fluttershy development too!

 

Will we get the same from the rest of the Mane Six? Well, let's hope we don't have the same mistake as last season when certain members of the Mane Six overshadow others, such as Rarity and Rainbow Dash last season. Plus, Spike and the CMCs still need their fair share of episodes and development as well!

Sweetie Belle already has a promising episode coming! Let's hope we can say the same for Scootaloo and Spike as well! And I guess a bit of AB too just as long as she doesn't overshadow the other CMCs.

[The Nth Doctor 664]

I did, since I've learned all I care to know about them.

The horrific character assassination in Season 5&6 only makes me wish for a new Mane 6 even more.

[TBD 17,272]

Its just characters development going south.  I do get a little pet peeve with RD having to learn the same mistake for the sake of the story, Fluttershy becoming more of a silent b* for the sake to step out of her comfort zone, Twilight becoming more of this self-righteous mare annnd...the rest of the three I don't mind them at all. 

[Firedog 321]

I still enjoy the mane six. I think there story archs are soon coming to a close though. 

 

They have all developed really well and almost all of them have completed there life goals.

 

• Rainbow dash became a wonderbolt. Her dream since season 1 episode 1.
• Rarity has multiple boutiques
• Applejack ate all the apples on the farm after having a seizure.
• Twilight completed her friendship studies and became an alicorn princess
• Fluttershy made her sanctuary.
• Pinkie pie..... neeeds a life goal.

 

The main reason the fluttershy episode isn't 10/10 is because it didn't really have a climax. The episode kinda just went through without any sorta problem or resolution. Besides the small one of firing the experts which was completed quickly then it really had a lot of extra time left in the episode.

Yea, but for the most part there story archs are complete. Twilight has a new story arch that is interesting though which is teaching starlight. That will keep her interesting for a while. If the writers would bother to write episode about her that is.

 

I still think we got maybe till season 9 before the really are complete. After that I think we should move on to generation 4.5

And the CMCs have their cutie marks as well! Starlight though still needs a life goal and Spike needs one as well! In fact, he needs TWO life goals: find out where he came from, and what's his purpose.

Starting? Hardly. One of the rules of a television show: "All characters get written badly from time to time".

I don't care if you're a fan of Twilight, Rarity, or AJ ... each has a handful of less than stellar moments. Some going back to Season 1 and 2 and written by some of the best writers of the show. 

Starting? No. 

I want as much Rarity as I can get. I may adore Starlight, but Rarity is far and away a better character (for me) than Glim.

Yeah Rarity is an awesome character! She developed so well since her debut episode, and she isn't afraid of making self sacrifices and isn't afraid of getting dirty every now and again! She is far from my favorite character though and I wish she would stop using Spike's crush to get him to do stuff, but I still like her! I even got a cute little plushy of her! :3
