My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Season 8  
The Complete Nutshell
 
Who’d’ve thought that twerp would turn out to be evil. Wow. You think you know a filly.  
Thus, Season Eight comes to a close. GOOD RIDDANCE. This season had more leaks than an onion farm!
 
And all those new creature types! Yak, Hippogriff, Changeling, Kirin… Do you know how long that takes!?
 
Things to note/not write me about: I couldn’t cram each and every reference, for I do not have a strong will. And as usual, I won’t be doing those of the previous seasons before 5. And now, the cheatsheet.

You could probably find a place in the sky somewhere to add the reindeers from the Best Gift Ever.

And they could have him next season. It’s odd enough they made a completely new opening for only two seasons. It would be even odder if it was only for this season and they made a new one next season (the school is much too prominent in the opening to ignore).

Plus, since it is the last season, there is still a lot of dangling threads to wrap up without wasting a bunch of episodes on a few students. Plus they’d be useless against an actual serious threat like Tirek, Sombra, or Cry.

No offense to the young six, but I hope they fade into the background in season 9. With their addition, ponies like Luna, Zecora, and Cadence have been reduced to almost nothing. Seriously, Luna only had a small numbers of lines in only 1 EPISODE this season.
 
Not to mention Shining Armor hasn’t appeared at all.
 
When Starlight was added, she helped bring other ponies to the screen more often, like Trixie and Maud. That’s where the Young six have seriously failed .

Twilight is best pony
The funny thing is how well that “F” dunce hat fits for Cozy Glow even in light of the S8 finale. Back when you originally drew it, it was because Cozy Glow was afraid she’d fail her friendship classes. Now, it’s because she really did fail friendship, in the worst way possible.

Don’t forget the upcoming MLP Holiday Special “The Best Gift Ever”.
