I just think it’d be better if Discord haters said things like, “In my opinion, he should’ve been turned back to stone.” instead of just saying, “He should’ve been turned back to stone.” because at least they’re acknowledging it’s an opinion and not an indisputable fact. There’s a difference between disliking a character and treating it like an indisputable fact that they should’ve been turned to stone. The first one I can tolerate but not the second one. Criticizing and disliking a character doesn’t mean you have to say they should be petrified forever or erased from existence.

I’m not surprised that people didn’t like Discord’s twist in season 9. But considering that the show had lots of either confusing or baffling twists for 9 years and nobody batting an eye, I think it was expected to happen, one way or another.
Oh, eyes were definitely batted every time something baffling/“baffling” happened in FiM since Day 1. It’s just that now, some people like to pretend that none of that happened because it’s not convenient to the “FiM is the god of TV that G5 needs to grovel at.” narrative.
Of course, mandatory reminder that G5’s problems haven’t magically gone away because of that statement. But the way FiM gets framed now by one too many…it’s like, really? “These G5 shows have had less than a year to accomplish what FiM did by Season 6! Truly a mess!” I know, I defend G5 enough, but this didn’t even start with G5 for me. Even back when I was watching FiM, I never cared about being super critical about the show and overanalyzing it. My next unpopular opinion to share is that I’ve always believed in MLP just being enjoyed for what it is.

To me, it’s a case by case situation. For example, I don’t think seasons 8 and 9 were horrible, but I can see why anyone would say it.
About G5, I still think it has potential. The biggest thing to me is that it’s more self aware than G4, especially in A New Generation and the first Make your Mark episode.

Oh no, I started something again. Honestly this is exactly why I’d rather pretend Discord doesn’t exist. I know I have a history but I can’t say a word about him without being retorted. “There are people who like Discord y’know.” No shit, there are also people who fall in love with serial killers. “How would you feel if your favorite characters were criticize and hated?” Well, there are many negative opinions toward Fluttershy and Starlight Glimmer, especially Starlight Glimmer by a certain someone, but I have kept my mouth shout about them, haven’t I? Also, if I have to add an “in my opinion” every time I make a comment, should I take everyone’s opinion here as a fact? No one said the “opinion” thing about the phone thing. This goddamn thread…

Given Discord’s nature, it’s totally predictable that this happens. In fact, perhaps he suggested the Season 9 twist to the writers cause he didn’t want to risk Starlight beating him in the controversy department?

@Just Wayne
Come on Wayne its just a difference in opinion don’t take things so seriously!
I am just not a fan of cool magical worlds putting in modern stuff, be it skyscrapers or cars kinda clash with the “fantasy” aspect

I do have an “issue” (emphasis on the quotation marks) with the modern technology in G5. After G4 where ponies were just as foreign and fantastical as everything and everyone else in their world, the ponies of G5 are… what, “literally us, except as ponies?”
Kinda boring to me (also emphasis on “to me”). I can just watch a superhero cartoon if I want that. Or look through the window…
That said, if I’m not mistaken, the/some generations before G4 were also like that, what with Megan the human. Just with the technology of back then. Guess ten years of Equestria made me blasé about something so much closer to reality. Like if Spyro got a new game and it’s set in something that’s basically our world now, except the humans are all various different species instead.
Reminder that it doesn’t mean people are wrong to like G5, but that’s one of the reasons I’m not interested in it.

For me, I think it’s somewhat lazy fantasy. The original design of Ponyvill had worldbuilding (at least on the surface) on the level of a fantasy novel.
I would say the only place that seemed a little too modern or out of place could be Manehattan
I guess for me I admire G4 as a fantasy world of horses. And that’s made it special to me.
Faust also seems to prefer that.

Sorry, I think my anger wasn’t gone yet. I don’t think my anger toward this whole damn thread is ever going to die. Though you did word it like “Wait you guys like this thing I don’t like? What’s wrong with you?!”
