Unpopular Opinions Regarding the Show

[Luminance 2,186]

I don't want Sunset to return to Equestria because whose going to watch over the other mane characters in the human world?!

[heavens-champion 1,905]

If Queen Chrysalis is not going to learn and copy the personalities of the characters she's impersonating, then she might as well NOT impersonate. Wait. That opinion's not very unpopular, is it?

[Woohoo 33,913]

Might as well revive this thread... I think Flurry Heart is the absolute ugliest character in the entire show

[cmarston1 5,959]

Bloom and Gloom is one of least favorite episodes of the show, for being such a chore to sit through, and I find it to be pretty overrated.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Season 6 ranks lower than Season 3 in my opinion.

I actually agree with you on that.

• I think Friendship is Magic should have ended after season 4, TBH.
• I'm not a fan of reformed Discord.
• I like the Equestria Girls movies & Twilight Sparkle's doppleganger.
• I prefer Twilight Sparkle with wings as I think they make her reactions to things cuter.
• I'm beginning to like the Equestria Girls movies more than MLP:FiM.

I like all the episodes and seasons.

The overall quality of the show is getting better.

Season 3 is better than Season 2.

Starlight Glimmer >>> Sunset Shimmer

Derpy's voice from Slice of Life is better than The Last Roundup.

Discord episodes are usually less interesting.

Sci-Twi does not deserve alicorn wings, even in magical manifestations.

Ever since a Twilight has been in human form, their romantic endeavours with Flash Sentry and Timber Spruce simply take up time and feel pandering and tacked on.

Applejack needs an episode that does not revolve around her family or Sweet Apple Acres.

[Maple Bat 3,568]

-twilight would have been better off staying a unicorn

-Discord's Reforment was something that needed to happen (the people i talk to about this always disagree)

-Equestria Girls was just an excuse to make more toys

[Princess Book Horse 352]

- Mare do well is the only bad episode of the show.

- "28 Pranks Later" is a good episode and played out a lot better than MMDW.

- "Flutterbrutter" is amazing and one of the best episodes of Season 6.

- "Every Little Thing She Does" is a fantastic episode and completely necessary to Starlight's growth and character arc.

- Queen Chrysalis shouldn't return in Season 7. I thought Chrysalis was awesome in the finale of Seasons 2, 5 and 6, but she has overstayed her welcome.

- I don't think "Applejack's day off" paints her as a bad worker, she was just taking too long to do things.

- Season 2 is overrated.

^Def have to agree there

[Bingopony16 15]

The Mysterious Mare Do Well was actually an enjoyable episode for me.

I like the EQG Movies.(Rainbow Rocks being the best one, and Legend of Everfree being a bit more boring for me compared to the other 3)

I hear about a few people who don't watch the show anymore, but I am still actively interested in the show and it's upcoming 7th Season.

I also think the show's quality hasn't dimished, because there are still some really great episodes in Season 6. Like The Gift of the Maud Pie, Gauntlet of Fire, No Second Prances, A Hearth's Warming Tail, The Saddle Row Review, Stranger than Fanfiction, 28 Pranks Later, The Times they are a Changeling, Every Little Thing She Does, Top Bolt, and To Where and Back again (Parts 1 and 2)

I adore Starlight Glimmer as a villain but I still love her where she is now.

[General Solar Magus 469]

My only thing is that Spikes stature didn't really look right to me. At first it didn't feel like he fit in to MLP world, but the way looks grew on me quickly.

Aside from that, the show is perfect .

[ggg-2 3,552]

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's reformations, unlike every other reformation so far, were entirely pointless. They have yet to reuse the characters at all beyond cameos and, with the CMC getting their cutie marks in the same episode, it seems like they were reformed just to get rid of them.

[PiratePony 8,475]

-despite the adults who enjoy the show, it still is a kid's show

-shipping is silly 

-Mare Do Well is a fun episode

-Season V was the best season

-EqD RD is 20% cooler than FiM RD

[Floofie 799]

• The show is getting better, not worse.  Though I think this is a popular opinion now.
• The art style in the MLP Movie teaser looks good.
• I think reforming villains is a good thing.
• I like Starlight Glimmer, both as a villain and as a recurring character.

is that more or less unpopular than "season 6 was the best season"?

[Frostgage 7,975]

I like Equestria Girls better than the actual show

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

I like a lot of disliked episodes like Mare Do Well or the more recent Hard to Say Anything.

I don't mind it when characters act 'out of character' because if it's a one off thing it's pretty normal, nobody acts exactly the same all the time, it depends on mood and lots of other conditions.

-I hate Equestria Girls and find it unnecessary.

-I don't care how bad the show gets for some people. I'm watching it until the end.

-I think the movie is going to flop/suck. I know it's bad to judge something by the cover, but there's so many characters on the cover that it reminds me of Titanic: The Legend Goes On. Also because of the big amount of new characters, it looks like Twilight is going to get 90% of the protagonist spotlight while the other 5 get shoved off a big event again.

I never got the obsession of the fandom, when it comes to spike. Sure, he deserves better, but some people act like that he should be the number one thing in the show and absolutely flipout when someone jokes about him.

- I really liked The Cutie Re-Mark, The Crystal Empire, 28 Pranks Later, and Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep?

- Celestia is underrated and gets unnecessary hate

- King Sombra is overrated and I wouldn't mind never seeing him again

- I am a big Starlight Glimmer fan, even after she was reformed

- I don't want to see Sunset Shimmer outside of Equestria Girls

- I don't think Josh Haber is a terrible writer

- I kind of like Rainbow Falls (though I certainly don't love it)

- Trixie is best pony outside of the Mane 6, CMC, and princesses

- I don't mind Daring Do and A.K. Yearling being the same pony

- Twilicorn has my approval and I'm glad it happened

- I prefer the name Minuette rather than Colgate

 

I might add on to this if I think of more...

Guess it's time to add to and revise this old post.

- I'm replacing best non-Mane 6 pony with Starlight Glimmer. Sorry, Trixie. 

- I wouldn't mind seeing Starlight eventually become an alicorn. She needs to make a LOT of progress first, though.

- I changed my mind about Sunset Shimmer appearing on the main show, after reading a synopsis for one of the upcoming Equestria Girls specials. Without totally spoiling it, I'm just gonna say the special in question involves a character who has so far been exclusive to FiM appearing in the Equestria Girls universe. I'm willing to give that great character a chance, so I'll give Sunset Shimmer a chance to as long as she doesn't really become a focus of FiM.

- I don't mind Tanks For The Memories. I think it's one of the best Rainbow Dash episodes of the entire series, even though she loses a fair bit of rationality.

- Princess Twilight Sparkle isn't a great season premiere. It's worse than The Crystal Empire, which is the two-parter that seems to be the most disliked.

- Magical Mystery Cure would likely be an all-time favorite episode for me if it was just not so rushed! Should've been a two-parter with more building up to its ultimate climax at the end... Twilicorn!

- I really don't care for Flim and Flam all that much. Their first appearance is great, but Leap of Faith is just bland.

- Equestria Games is a bland episode. The Games themselves got so much hype over the course of a whole season's worth of episodes, but the end result is underwhelming.

- Power Ponies is a really cute concept but it makes me cringe from all the Spike abuse. Like "YES, we get he feels pushed to the side, yes we know, YES we know..."

I still think they could do more with the Mane 6.

[FelixArgyle 11]

The songs in the show are annoying, shallow and uninteresting.

Spike and CMCs are the least enjoyable characters.

[cmarston1 5,959]

I don't like the idea of Derpy being used as a symbol for accepting differences/being a symbol for stuff like autism or whatever.

It's like using Rainbow Dash as a symbol for LGBT pride, something that I don't feel is necessary to do so, seeing how there are actual animated characters this day and now that are actually established as being LGBT and don't require the use of headcanons or arbitrarily assigning sexual orientations to characters that don't have any established yet.

For Derpy it is just relying on what people put in fanfictions, rather than anything in the actual show that would indicate her as being mentally handicapped or being anything other than clumsy and maybe a little bit ditzy.

Plus the show already has a character who actually has a canon personality that can be used as a symbol for accepting differences due to actually being disabled in the show itself with Scootaloo.

When watching the show, parents or causal fans, or people who just don't care about the fandom period wouldn't get this whole thing about Derpy being some kind of positive symbol for accepting differences, all they would see is some random pony with derp eyes in the background, and wouldn't think much of her.

However given how Scootaloo is actually and established character with an actual personality, when it comes to her that would be a different story.

You wouldn't need to have any background knowledge on the fandom in order to get the message of Flight to the Finish being about disabilities.
