Too bad that with the exception of Hearts Warming Tail, all her stories in S6 went in total sfavor of the Mane 6:
-In The Crystalling all the Mane 6 were completely useless;
-In No Second Prances Twilight was quite regressed in the character, by forgetting TWO lessons from the past;
-In Every Little Things She Does, as much funny I found it, the Mane 6 except Twilight were turned into living version of Siri;
-And lastly…. To Where and Back Again… it treated them like garbage in order to give Starlight the spotlight…. AND DON’T GET ME STARTED AGAIN ON THE CHAOS IT CAUSED ON THE ENTIRE FANDOM ALRIGHT?!
Erm… In any case, even thought there was something similar in S8 with the Young 6, with the exception of the infamous Non-Compete Clause, none of that happened in the episodes focused on the students. But my point is: whatever the story arc of the final season will be, the Mane 6 MUST be the focus of it. If you do a show with its own pulsing cores, you can’t focus the final season and most especially, the series finale, on some other random characters. That would be so idiotic.
