Pony Venting Thread

Maybe it’s due to recency, but I connected the Grogar reveal more with Snoke than the Mandarin. I thought it was eyerolling and it made me dislike Discord more, but I don’t think it ruined anything. Mediocre season, mediocre finale.

See, this is why G4 will be forgotten, but nobody believes me.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
It’s not

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
It could’ve been worse. It could’ve been a terrible season with a terrible finale.

@Background Pony #242F  
Still tho.
 
This is why Hasbro should have listened to fans, and then there wouldn’t be bad seasons these days.

@DerpyFast  
And yet he did nothing, even after Sombra broke the Tree. So was that part of the plan, or things going off the rails?

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
It will not be forgotten any time soon.
 
And no, listening to fans is far from a perfect solution. (I mean, have you ever listened to them?)

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Not every idea the fans have was actually best the show.  
Also the fandom never agreed on what the show should have done

@Latecomer  
That was actually a part of the problem with the twist…that and he didn’t do anything to show he was keeping the villains in control. If the summer sun setback was any indication he SHOULD have known they were making plans behind his back and he just…didnt do anything about it.

@Latecomer  
@northern haste  
Then what they could have done to make this show not have bad seasons?

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
To Me it doesn’t have seasons

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Every show has bad seasons or episodes its actually not a big deal. Most people will remember the showas being enjoyable overall and probably forget the bad/mediocre/boring episodes until people bring them up like most shows people are nostalgic for

@CottonTales  
Tell that to the toxic Game of Thrones fanboys who bullied the creators over a bad finale.

@CottonTales  
I was willing to let that go as Discord being really stupid, callous, and overconfident which fits his character pretty well.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Dude, you really need to let go of this mindset. It’s not healthy. It’s a show after all. Is it really worth getting this worked up over? Haven’t people told you this before?

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Write and plan better, I guess. But that’s not very useful advice…

@Background Pony #B165  
Niche things get forgotten all the time. Does it?

@Latecomer
 
I don’t think that was part of his plan necessarily, but he was confident that the cast didn’t need the elements… and he turned out to be right.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Listened to the fans? And turned the show into nothing but memes, nerd stuff, shipping everywhere and constant writing changes to replace the controversial stuff like Twilight’s Castle, Starlight, the School, and such? Thank God this didn’t happen.

@Background Pony #242F  
Okay that is the best I’ve heard anyone can put it over Discord

@Myoozik  
Look, most fans lost interest in the show because of the new writers taking over seasons 4-9.
 
Not to mention there was quality decline. Why do you think people criticized recent seasons?

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
You’re asking me like I DON’T know why the later seasons were criticized, I’m not that dumb.

@Myoozik  
Ok. I guess rhetorical questions are hard to pull off in text when I’m not making it rhetorical.

@Hollowfox Jaeger  
Meh. I personally lost interest around Season 8 for a combination of reasons. I hated a lot of the changes in that season, the episodes felt too pandering, my life was s###, the ToonKritic controversy was still fresh in my mind, and anime was cementing it’s place among my interests.
 
Unpopular opinion: Season 4 was the best season. There were only three actually bad episodes there.
