Pony Venting Thread

@harasha456
While I do feel some of the freaking out is overblown, G4 did get a proper ending, as opposed to G5 which is most likely going to end partway through its story without anything being resolved. Therefore, the reaction isn’t entirely surprising.

@Background Pony #C2BE
How do you think it’ll end? Allura destroys more stuff, the Mane6 walk in, and it ends there?

@Wiimeiser
If the creative team knew ahead of time that it was getting cut short, we’ll probably just get a severely rushed version of the resolution they were planning.

Watching “The Best Night Ever”, in terms of who ruined the Gala from most to least, I’d say it’s: Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Applejack Rarity, and Twilight.

Pinkie: Annoyed the other guests for most of the episode by trying to force them to party the way she did.

Fluttershy: I put her a little below Pinkie because she only really ruined the Gala at the end with the stampede.

Rainbow: Didn’t really do anything bad. She pulled a stunt on an innocent pony but did also catch him. She also accidentally dropped a giant statue that broke a bunch of columns, but tbf that was underestimating her strength and she did catch it to save it.

Applejack: Didn’t really do anything like Pinkie and Fluttersy, but she did trip somepony to try and sell them something. She also barged in with a giant cake to “prove” her wares despite there already being a buffet table. A little below Rainbow because while she did barge in with the cake, it’s Pinkie’s fault it went flying.

Rarity: Only really (rightfully) lost her temper after Blueblood used her as a shield. Didn’t really do anything else.

Twilight: By virtue of us not seeing her do anything.

Tell us how you really feel

@Zabilac
All that would have proved his point on why g4 sucked.

Who??

@Zabilac
He’s not here anymore. But one of his gripes is how the mane 6 heroes are jerks despite their role as protagonists.

I mean sometimes they are, but most of the time, they’re nice ponies.

@Zabilac
They are ultimately. Again, no need to demonize them for small things they also just as easily made up on.

I’m not? The things I listed are things they did. I’m just putting my thoughts on who was responsible for ruining the Gala in order.

As someone who’s been a brony since nearly the beginning, the fandom’s morale over the past month and a half is honestly the lowest I’ve ever seen it since 2013, when the fandom experienced two of its biggest controversies (Alicorn Twilight and Equestria Girls) and there was a lot of dread for Season 4. In this case, we have people freaking out over G5 ending, Hasbro and Chris Cocks in particular getting attacked for their treatment of the generation, G4 and G5 fans arguing with each other over which generation is better, claims that Hasbro actively hates the fandom, claims that the fandom is awful now and is falling apart at the seams, and major amounts of pessimism towards G6, with many not looking forward to it in the slightest. It’s to the point where I’m thinking of making a positive version of this thread to offset the negativity, much like how the standard venting thread has a positive version. While I’m not sure how much it will help, or if it will even be that active, I feel it’s at least worth a try.

@Background Pony #C2BE
Do it go nuts. We’re just tired at this point.

@Zabilac
I will admit with Rarity though, her dream of marrying a prince kind of verges on ludicrous to me.

She might be famous in Ponyville but compared to every other important figure in Canterlot or even fashion icon in Canterlot Blueblood could have, Rarity a fairly obscure pony from Ponyville does not seem like a consideration.

Rarity actually was probably lucky that she didn’t confess. It could have been embarassing and it might even make her the target of tabloids.

@Background Pony #C2BE
Idk, the Normal vent thread has 194782 replies compared to the happy’s 22322 replies. But it’s probably worth a shot.

Due to recent events that happened to a friend of mine (that I wish to keep secret)

I hate how fucking prudish and cancel happy the mlp art community has become, especially amoung the younger artists

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Every art community tends to have ups and downs, like this (SU, TF, etc), but oof.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Same.

One thing that annoys me is that they never made Pinkie learn that her way of having fun isn’t always everyone’s. They kept hinting at it in a lot of episodes, but they never have Pinkie actually learn to stop forcing her idea of fun on everyone.

@Zabilac
That would’ve been a great episode, a direct reality check that not every moment can’t or will not be rainbows and laughs.
But then again “talkative colorful cute ponies”
(￣▽￣)

I’m not talkign about that. I’m talking about how some parties (like the ones Rarity and Canterlot ponies may like) may be “boring” to Pinkie, that doesn’t make them any less valid, and she should stop forcing her idea of “fun” (loud music, wild dancing, sugary sweets, etc.) on everypony.

@Zabilac
Oh, my bad, well, your opinion is a good one too, I think what I thought might work as well. ^^

For me, I prefer Gen 4 over Gen 5. Gen 5 (for obvious reasons) is non-canon to me, and out of the two, Gen 4 is better.

Idk How can anyone who’s watching Gen 4 and saying Gen 5 is better is beyond me, but who cares what they think? It’s their loss.

I will always stick to Gen 4, but I’m not the purest; I like Gen 1 to 3, but I refuse to see Gen 5 after saying how everything Twilight worked for was all gone.

They should have made it their own thing.

(to me it’s an alternate universe for example the dragons don’t even look like how they should)

I hope Gen 6 will be better; I love Gen 4, but I want them to leave it alone, let the good ending be, and let people have their headcanons and not reboot it.

These people CAN recapture Gen 4’s success but have something new, make it original, if you want Gen 4 then add the ponies BUT as their characters like how diffrent Rainbow Dash is between Gen 3 and 4, I wish corporate greed did not get in a way.

This potentially could get divisive though I’ll try not to get there.

Of certain fans, do you there are some that are what we might ANG purists. As in they think ANG was great but the rest of g5 failed to live up to the movie?

@Background Pony #01A3
Good point. Even if there are, no g5 fanbase would admit it. Every fanbase has a subgroup of sorts. But there are those that don’t like or care about TYT. The ones I know left this site long ago or recently though.
