Well, it's a very downplayed episode. Either you're into that or you're not.

It's definitely one of the less "epic" episodes, but I do think it had just as much attention and care put into it. It was also strange seeing a lot of complaints for the episode regarding not being able to get into it because of the comic grab; I've never read the comics, but I found it was pretty easy to get the tales that were being told within it.

I enjoy "A Royal Problem" for its insight, humour, and ambition, but that's largely in spite of its massive issues, most notably a somewhat crammed narrative, but also just that I never found the stakes believable, which coloured most of what came afterwards.

Further, while I do find it strange that Celestia doesn't have a special power like Luna does - I mean, the day/night dichotomy is kinda weird when Luna could hypothetically do either - I think some people should be more willing to extrapolate her political responsibilities beyond what a children's show is willing to depict. 

And I don't find it strange at all that Celestia and Luna bickered so much. They're obviously stressed and exhausted. Luna's only been back for a few years at most, so it makes sense that they'd still have their differences. And while it's kinda weird that this is the case, the show's never really suggested that Celestia took over dreams from Luna, so it does make sense that they'd have that misunderstanding. 

Shoulda been a two-parter tho.

I was mostly a little bored by it. I can only presume the comics deepen the characters a little bit, as while watching I merely found the legends kinda generic and uninteresting, and the framing story to be not a whole lot better. Lot of predictable beats, and the understated nature of the character interactions, while a little charming, didn't really do much for me. It all felt a little plain to me, not particularly funny or insightful.

Huh, not even the one with Mistmane? Fair enough, I suppose; different strokes for different folks.

At least it is acknowledged that there are charming aspects of the character interactions. For me personally, it was nice to see how Rainbow and Scootaloo grew together, and witnessing Rainbow take the cool big sis role so fervently.

Also: while I do feel Celestia could be utilized much better in the show, I don’t think it implies she’s weak. In truth, all of the princesses - even Luna - could use more well-rounded appearances.

That one was more distinct, but I still found the characters kinda dull and the setting kinda unimaginative. 

I kinda felt that Scootaloo’s fears were weirdly exaggerated since last time we saw them, and got bored with Rainbow’s boasting, but I did see charm in their interactions.

The reason Campfire Tales isn't in my favorites of the season is because of how overblown the Scootaloo fears were tbh, she kind of learned to be less scared last time, her being a little freaked here and there would have been cute, but it was ridiculous how even a more tame story freaked her out so much.

I’m on a roll here, so: I don’t care if Twilight is bad at being a princess because her failures keep her relatable. It’s one of the things which makes the way she became a princess not entirely ruinous for me.

Well, let’s be honest, it’s not so much what the writer puts into a story, as much as what the reader can take out of it. Like that story about Ernest Hemingway, who supposedly bet ten dollars he could write an entire story in six words.

Starting season 6 now:

I think Season 5 is the best season.

AJ is the best character in season 5 to me.

"The Man Attraction" is the third best episode so far to me behind "The Last Roundup" and "Dog and Pony Show".

Twilight and Fluttershy is the most boring combination for a pairing episode to me.

I'm still very meh on Diamond Tiara despite her reform. It makes her a better character, but it was pretty sudden and only really a mentioned first in the episode she reforms. Episode was good overall though.

-i didn't mind and was kind of hoping for Flurry Heart to be a thing even before the reveal that Cadence was pregnant

-Cadence is more than just merchandise

-Applejack is the best mane 6

-Luna had the better opinion about how to handle Sombra

  • Rainbow's boasting in "Campfire Tales" didn't bother me. In fact, I think people exaggerate how often she does it (and also don't realize that part of the reason she does it is to impress Scootaloo and make a point to her; if you pay attention to Scootaloo's reactions, you can tell Rainbow's egotism does actually seem to help calm her down). Actually, I think a lot of aspects of this episode are down-played and not really appreciated.

... that it isn’t that good.

 It’s entertaining and refreshing in a world of god-awful children’s animated television shows, and does have an attractive art and animation style, but if this is what you consider top-tier television then you should probably get your mind right. Opinions are opinions but there are far too many stellar tv shows out there... the best part of the whole brony thing was/is the community and the devotion and care that it possesses.

I used to think that MLP was a bad show. Because of opinions that my friends used to keep telling me. But I decided to watch it and became a brony then I started watching more animations and stuff about MLP and here we are now.

The season 8 premiere was not really that good, and in fact I think it's the third worst premiere this show has ever had.

I was going to add this one, with the difference that season 8 premiere is my least favorite premiere so far.

I'll also add that both premiere songs were forgettable to me.

My main issue was hat the premise in general was terrible and the pacing was absolutely horrific.

Must be because of the complainers. The Sonic fandom has a similar problem.

  • "To Where and Back Again" is one of the better finales in the show's history, and I think most people who complain about it are really complaining about it because the Mane Six weren't the protagonists of the finale.

My problem isn't Starlight saving the day. My problem is that they didn't at least drop a hint on how they captured Twilight and friends, the Princesses, Shining Armor, and Spike.
