Chrysalis being a selfish psychopath feels like a retcon to me, she was cruel to her enemies in Season 2 but seemed to care for her hive, in Season 6 however the changelings are just tools and whoever opposes her gets disposed of like trash.
Considering the huge year gap between both finales, different writers for each, and nothing in-between them, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a change of plans after all.

I don’t know, did she even show signs of being compassionate to her hive back then cause I feel like even back then she just wanted all the love for herself and let her subjects take the town as some sort of consolation prize.

I don’t really care about having unpopular opinions because legit everyone has different opinions and everyone is bound to have a bunch of unpopular ones, so they’re not that interesting to me–
even so, I’ll throw out a few of mine…
G5 already has a much stronger start and more appeal than G4 to me.
The Mane Five are already a far more favorable, less tropey set of characters than the Mane Six in my opinion.
I think Pony Life is just as enjoyable as Friendship is Magic and I prefer the Pony Life art style.
I genuinely really like Flurry Heart, she’s so cute and happiness-inducing and her bond with Twilight is sweet.

If we’re comparing Pilots, it’s probably not much worse or better than FiM
The Mane Five are already a far more favorable, less tropey set of characters than the Mane Six in my opinion.
I wouldn’t say the Mane 5 aren’t tropey and there’s nothing wrong with Tropey as long as it’s done well, and FIM does them well.

I’m sorry but Calarts is one of the most overused and bad looking art style for any cartoon and I don’t understand why they used it for FiM. FiM has a very simple but effective art style.I really despise that style, It looks too over the top and doesn’t fit.

I love how there was more backstory to Sunny than Twilight in the pilot. It made me more invested with Sunny.
And also how she had a very interesting friendship with Hitch and Izzy. Sometimes I felt like in G4 they’re just casual friends. But nothing really too deep beyond that. But I think in G5 I felt like there was a lot more importance to their friendships. (Zipp and Pipp still don’t seem to have many moments with Sunny but we’ll see)

I think the Mane 5 and the Mane 6 had great openings for their respective stories. The first time I’ve seen Nightmare Moon appearing and dooming Ponyville into an eternal night was amazing. I wanted to keep going.
The Mane 5 introduction was fine. My problem with them is the type of songs they have. In the entire film I only liked one, and it was the Gotta be my day song. But the rest was entirely forgettable, not because of the lyrics, but because of the music genre.

I rather like the glitterbug design. They’re very cute, and it’s a lot easier to tell stories with them if you can tell them apart at a glance.

Cozy is no filly. Also how parents never showed up to ground her. That is weird for a kids show. Kid characters are grounded. Cozy wasn’t then this must mean she is not a kid. Just because she looks like a kid it doesn’t mean she is one.
