In my opinion, Jazz was better before “Baby Critters” and the podcasts. She felt more… special. After Baby Critters my opinions did a big turn on her. Like, I literally wanted to kill her, I still get these violent thought but not as much.
I never really wanted to kill her before that. She did die in some roleplays, but only to tell a story and such. But around March-August, I did kinda despise her since I was very confused on why I was so into her. Soon I learnt that I was Hyperfixated on her, I did have a feeling I was hyperfixated on someone else before Jazz, but I wasn’t 100% sure
Yeah, I wanted more screen time on her, but she kinda really went to be one of my most hated fictional characters after September. It’s really unfortunate, if it weren’t for the writers I’d still be liking her
She just felt kinda special as a character who rarely appeared, and only popped up to say a few lines and such. Looking back, she seemed kinda cuter back in early episodes like Alicorn Issues, Clip Trot and Mane Melody for example. I’d say One Pony’s Trash is the last episode she felt like that… “All That Jazz” is great. It could have started something new for her, but now it feels like it was the start of her downfall…
To me Jazz went from random pony I don’t care about to hyperfixation. Then finally a Pony I want to kill
TL;DR: I liked Jazz before the podcasts and Baby Critters. Anything after September ruined any enjoyment I get from her
