Unpopular opinion time

@WaynePonePone
Forget strength, they have numbers and mob mentality.

@icicle wicicle 1517
I think a running theme throughout a lot of MLP is that the ponies’ greatest enemies are themselves

@CloudMistDragon
I’m honestly a bit miffed that they seemingly abandoned the townspeople and we didn’t know if they were still there protesting that they didn’t get more of alicorn Sunny or just moved on. I get that it would detract from the main message of the episode of being accepted for who you are, but I thought some closure to that would be nice

@Mr.Myoozik
They very likely just moved on. One of the more noticeable townsponies protesting, the blue stallion in business attire, was at the community garden in the very next episode.

@CloudMistDragon
And also a lot of them were lining up to get smoothies from Sunny’s cart

@Jonny Manz
That too in addition to the ponies who came there excited for the opening of the community garden. While they can be jerks, I don’t think they would hold a grudge against Sunny for not being an alicorn for a speech.

@CloudMistDragon
Yeah most likely, but it does leave off a plot thread hanging there that they just forget by the next episode

I think Earless Mare is getting boring

The Barbie mugshot meme has got to be one of my favorites to get ponified.

@Dustcan
I didn’t quite understand until now that it’s meant to be in pairs. I thought it was generic mugshot art.

@Dustcan
I thought this was the unpopular opinions forum 😉

Jazz Hooves the earth pony from MLP: Make Your Mark is weird looking but… I still like her

@Dustcan
Oooooohh! That’s why there’s suddenly mugshot art popping up. I thought it was a reference to an earlier episode, whoops

Unpopular opinion: Retiring Diamond Tiara directly after reforming her was one of the dumbest things FiM ever did.

Definitely.

@Spinny
I wouldn’t call that unpopular, but I agree.

@Spinny
Agreed, and it was a decision by the business, not the creative, side, as Jim Miller has said that the team came up with various stories involving Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon post-CotLM, but they were shot down each time by an unnamed Hasbro exec with the reasoning essentially being “their stories are completed” every time.

@Jonny Manz
“She reformed, end of story”

@Spinny
Not the show itself, more one of the dumbest decisions that the Hasbro execs did

@Mr.Myoozik
Yeah, that’s a better way of phrasing it (if it was on the creative side, I’d more say it should be the show itself)

I know almost nothing about Monster High. But I think Equestria Girls was made to compete with it.

Honestly, from what I can see, I think Hasbro missed what made MH so appealing. It wasn’t just the school. It was also the school had zombies, werewolves, witches and all that. And it had a spooky creepy atmosphere.

But what atmosphere does Canterlot High have? Does it have some amulets or magic involved? No it’s just a normal North American school except with multicolored humans.

If you’re gonna make a school, then why make it just an average Disney Channel high school?

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I firmly believe that EG was born because of MH.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
You don’t know urban fantasy. Being a normal multicolored school where supernatural events take place on earth in an animated movie is what caught my attention. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been interested. Monster high had none of that, so I wasn’t interested.

When people say MLP is a little girls’ show, I used to believe that. But i kind of dislike saying that nowadays.

There’s a double standard. Someone watches a 6-11 show like Ben 10 or Spongebob, no one bats an eye. But watching MLP? You’re too old for that!

Honestly I used to think this show was meant to appeal to preschoolers just because of the E/I rating. But looking at the show bible, Faust intended it to be more of a normal cartoon demographic. Probably Hasbro forced this younger rating.

I guess it’s nitpicky, but I think it’s interesting how MLP is seen as younger than the average cartoon but something like Samurai Jack will be seen as for many ages even if the primary demographic was probably 8 year old boys. You’ll never hear people call that a little boys show.

@skilledful
I forgot to respond to this.

Yeah I guess if both worlds were magic, you would lose the interaction of the magical with the mundane.

People like escapism but sometimes we want to tone it with some of the normal too.

I am growing to hate this pony

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I stop looking at things through age anymore. As the saying goes: Animation is for fucking everyone.
