Lauren Faust isn't working on Season 3 D:

[ThePwnyBrony 23]

I just saw a video and it said that Lauren isn't going to be working on season 3, I hope this show doesn't start sucking if Lauren isn't working on it, this is literally the only TV show I can be excited about in modern day times, it reminds me of my childhood cartoons.

Actually, Lauren Faust had been busy with other projects throughout most of Season 2. Her not working on the show isn't exactly a new thing. It isn't exactly a terrible thing either.

 

She left the folks currently working on the show with a fantastic foundation. I don't think that we need to worry about everything turning into a disaster.

[Motion Spark 7,807]

ummmm what?

 

maybe you're not aware of that, but Lauren haven't worked on MLP since season 1, she didn't even worked on season 2 and I liked that season better.

She only provided the characters, the background, the world, and the foundings ...the episodes are the writers work.

I guess so, I shouldn worry too much, after all for the first time an MLP cartoon actually has standards, they'd have to be pretty terrible in order to decend to anywhere near Gen 3 levels of awful.

Not a big deal.

 

She provided a framework and left it to a very talented staff. We're going to be alright.

I think that Lauren Faust is pretty cool, but her not being on the show this year wouldnt be the biggest change, because they are also replacing some of the writers. But if MLP is the only great show you know of, then you need to watch these shows:

Breaking Bad

FLCL

Adventure Time

The Regular Show

Dr. Who

Homestuck (Its a webcomic, not a T.V. show but its still awesome)

[Street Comedy 327]

She stopped after Season 1 Episode 3 if my memory serves correctly...

That's almost 2 years of no Faust.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Don't worry, she didn't do much for season 2 but it was still pretty awesome without her, and I don't think any of the other awesome people who work on the show would let any of the current quality degrade.

[Mindrop 412]

She did her job, the one she was hired to do. As a producer, she has her hooves in several shows. She watches over, and gives pointers at times, but its mostly hands off.

 

I do believe she was the writer for the Season 1 episodes 1&2 and the finally, as well as the Royal Wedding.

 

EDIT: Okay, just season 1, episodes 1&2. JOint effort on S1E3 with Amy Keating Rogers

and damn right she shouldnt. everything has worked fine and peachy without her

and yes im butthurt about her for thinking that scootaloo should be crippled

[weegeez 150]

Lauren Faust is just the foundation of MLP, most of what is written for MLP has little to do with her

[Halfblood 364]

I am bummed out that she will not be contributing to S3, however MLP is one of Lauren Faust's spectacular collaborative creations; she helped build and shape it into the wonderful show that millions love, and now I think she would love to see it grow and blossom (as it has been) from afar. Arguably, the show has not declined in quality or in any other aspect from her progressively distancing herself from it. She has other plans, other priorities, and other ventures she wishes to explore. I, as a fan, can understand that. She helped birth this fandom, so I won't hold anything against the woman, nor should I ever.

 

Edit: I accidentally a word.

Normally I would explain my reasoning, I think that it's not goon to make a difference, I don't think he needs to be soley responsible for the bronies, better yet, look at my signature.

[NavelColt 22,880]

I walked into this topic very confused, as like has been mentioned, Faust really stopped spear-heading things after season 1, and had minimal input on season 2. She has other projects going on, so she can't and hasn't been leading the team for a while. But the people in charge did great with season 2, and if our two spoiler songs are any hint, season 3 looks like it'll be pretty interesting.

...You don't say?

Lauren Faust has been working on other things since season 1 ended. She didn't make season 2 either you know.

[Cakesplat 38]

I'm curious about the people who worked on season two. I know Lauren Faust was very important for the conception of FiM, but these people deserve some of that love and recognition for what they've brought us, too.

Lauren is currently working with her Husband on his latest toon "Wonder Over Yonder" which premies on Disney sometime in 2013. And as said by others outside of coming up with the initial ideas for Discord & Cadance, she didn't really work on season 2 either.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

She didn't work on season 2 so I guess this would be counted as old news... We saw how season 2 turned out, and could they do it again, (Maybe even better) Darn right they could...

She stepped down after season one. Not only isn't she working on season 3; she didn't even work on season two (well, except the Return of Harmony, but that was made for season one and delayed until season two).

That's not entirely true. She did script concepts for all of season 2, even going as far as to create Cadence (albeit, as a Unicorn). Her hand was in season 2 for every episode, season 3 will truly be the first season without her. I have confidence that Jayson, Wootie and Meghan are up to the challenge.

(Funny, even the show's creator didn't want Cadance to be an alicorn.)

So, even though she wasn't in charge of the show's production during season 2, she did still have a say in it. I hope they keep up the quality without her.
