What I don't I didn't like is how the show implied it towards the end with Appledash.

I think the Equestria girls franchise is terrible.

I don't like Alicorns

At least is implied subtly enough that you can take is as just a very close friendship. At least I thought it was that. I suppose the writers also got behind into the shipping and fandom ideas themselves as fans because there's some things that were pushed way beyond reason but it was better than a movie that you were expecting to be to good for years and it was total disappointment. 

Yep

And yep. The concept was good at first when it was something unique and special. But by it's own nature it was bound to end in everything and everyone becoming an alicorn and worst of all is that they didn't utilize them in a creative way like Twilight. All of them were just totally incapable.

I keep seeing fans holding up Scootaloo as a role model for people with disabilities, and I just have to say: Scootaloo is a textbook case of how NOT to do the "disabled representation" thing.

"Flight to the Finish", in and of itself, did a respectable job with its message. The problem is what came after that. First it's implied that she's simply a late bloomer flight-wise. Then for several seasons we see signs of her yearning to fly, but making no visible progress towards flying. Then we see her so desperate for at least some of what her condition has denied her that she joins a stunt team with a devil-may-care attitude towards safety. Then right at the end, we see her adult body with child-size wings (technically up for interpretation on account of Bulk Biceps, but the creators' intent was pretty obvious). Here's where things really go wrong:

At no point do we see anyone making any attempt to help her learn to fly (one would assume Rainbow Dash would handle that, but there's never even a brief mention of her actually doing so).

Nor do we see any evidence that she's been to a doctor (one would expect Equestria to have specialists in that area) to try and sort out why she's been having trouble flying.

Nor do we see anyone properly helping her to cope with the possibility that she may never fly.

Nor do we see anyone introduce her to technology (such as Apple Bloom's glider from "Call of the Cutie") which might let her compensate for whatever unspecified condition is keeping her from flying. Twilight's book smarts extend well beyond magic - by all logic, she should have been able to find Scootaloo a solution there.

 

For a series which normally has much more in-depth discussion of characters' feelings than you typically see in a Y-rated cartoon, it feels like we never got more than a superficial look at what Scootaloo was going through. Way too much was left to the realm of speculation and headcanon. What we actually got to see paints a picture of a child whose dreams are threatened by a possible medical issue, but no one around her bothering to step up and get her the help she needs - in essence, more fuel for the Scootabuse dumpster fire.

People hold the mane six too closely to the Elements of Harmony, and those characters are better for not embodying their element all the time. 

Twilight Sparkle becoming a princess was never a good idea. 

I like a lot of CMC episodes but would never list them among my favourite characters in the show. They should have been more distinct from each other. 

I find it kinda boring how much pony culture and history seems to just copy human culture and history. The non-pony species are so much more interesting, especially later in the show when they actually started to be taken seriously. Ponies are still the cutest though.

-Luna is severely overrated

-I love twilight as a princess

-I love CMC episodes

-I think it's cool the CMC got their cutie marks

-Rarity is severely overrated and is the worst mane six member (and one of the worst characters)

-Applejack is underrated

-The actiony two-parters are really good

-Fluttershy's character is really inconsistent (As a Fluttershy fan I don't pin this on her)

That actually appears to have been a rather popular opinion.

Though I do agree that it was nice to let the Mane Six be vulnerable to temptation in spite of their elements.

That's been a problem with a number of characters, as I understand. I suppose it's more or less inevitable when you have one writer for every three or four episodes.

I don't like Bats! episode.

- One reason being the song. The bit where the remainder of Mane 6 was circling around Fluttershy rubbed me the very wrong way. It felt like Mane 6 is some kind of cult and Fluttershy became a heretic that needed re-education.

- Not only Mane 5 stubbornly refused to go with Fluttershy's solution, but they also forced hr into their false one, which nearly costed them Fluttershy herself. One of them cases when they learn lesson the hard way big time!

Season 1 was the worst season 

Thorax, Ocellus, and Ember are the best characters 

I think rainbow dash is retarded

The MLP movie didnt make any sense

I only like two ships, thorax and ember, and pharynx and tempest. Other than those two ships most of them stink.

Alright time to be very honest:

-Starlight is easily the worst character in the show, even if Cadence and Flurry Heart are really trash too.

-Equestria girls makes me want to rip my eyes out and vomit 

-Season 1 is bad

-I actually like the CMC theme song

-Luna is overrated  (Celestia and Twilight are better princesses)

-I hate the Soarin x Rainbow Dash ship 

-Rainbow Dash is such a great character that nopony else even comes close. Without her I wouldn´t want to watch the show and almost every episode without her is bad most of the time

-I don´t hate pony life but I don´t want to watch it either

-Fluttershy is a good character but way too overrated (everyone is going to hate me for this)

-Sunset Shimmer is trash

Are you pissed off? You shouldn´t be, you are here to hear some unpopular opinions.

*cracks knuckles* Here goes...

- Loved all of season 3

- Enjoyed "Honest Apple". I've seen how kids express themselves online; it's not too late for them to learn something from this.

- Enjoyed "Newbie Dash". I'll concede that it was a missed opportunity, but for what it's worth, Rainbow Dash is finally a Wonderbolt.

- Meh on the movie. Storm King was like Discord, the Genie, and Jafar rolled into one, so I'll give it that. 

- Cadance is underrated. I read Friends Forever #30, and even though it made her look floppy and insecure, I think it at least lent some characterization she would've gotten had season 3 been longer.

- Speaking of princesses, I think Celestia is unspeakably strong, she's just holding back. If she's powerful enough to move the sun, then she could easily cause solar flares. You saw the panicked look on Chrysalis' face when she tried to tussle with her, she thought she was toast. You say she never does anything. Well, what do you call that? 

- I don't hate any antagonist, major or minor. No, not even Spoiled Rich, Svengallop, etc. 

- Kind of on the fence with Starlight Glimmer

- I still think this show is for 5-year-olds, despite the Tirek battle 

- Enjoyed all CMC episodes

- I'm actually okay with Alicorn Twilight

- I don't mind Flash Sentry. The only thing he's got going for him is that he's voiced by Vincent Tong, but other than that, he doesn't register on my radar.

I do not like the show because they made too many cheeks expressions in Season 9. And also, Rainbow Roadtrip looked as bad as the Movie, which was too much cheeks and bad expressions!

Cheeks expressions? What do you mean? :mlp_wat:

I don't get the background pony hype. At all. 

I don't like the songs "Flawless" and "A True True Friend"

I like exciting but poorly executed episodes better than ones that have a solid story, but are boring. For example, I like Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep better than Made in Manehattan just because it's more interesting. 

I never cared for Equestria Girls.  I like MLP because it's about magical creatures in a fantasy world, not teenage humans in high school.

Seasons 5 and 7 are my least favourite seasons of the show. Both have a handful of episodes I love, but those are very much in the minority those seasons, and the prevailing trends those seasons never interested me at all. If anything, I felt seasons 8 and 9 felt to me like the show loosening up a bit after the stodginess of season 7. 

I miss Equestria Girls way more than Friendship is Magic. That series ended too soon. And I really liked seeing the mane six in a down-to-earth setting again.
