Season 8 was more or less a directionless mess as it supposedly centered around the presence of a stupid school with a stupid (and possibly racist) premise behind it. They spent the entire season premiere treating it like something important, and then they don’t even use it for anything except the finale. If anything, one of season 9’s better decisions was drawing focus away from it and acknowledging it was a pointless addition to the show.

I would debate that, I can actually stand to watch large portions of Season 8, I’m looking through the episodes of Season 9 right now, and I’m not sure I’d be willing to re-watch even a third of it.

It was certainly much better than season 8.

And yet it tried to be high-stakes at the end and face-planted pretty hard.
 
Besides, I wasn’t talking about the finale, I was talking about all of Season 9. I’d have been more forgiving of the finale and the unnecessary epilogue if the season up until that point had been of quality.

It was a fitting ending for what the show started out with. The Grogar twist sucked major ass and the climax was fabricated by Discord’s stupidity, but the show was never meant to be a high stakes action series in the first place.

as well as it could have…. agree to disagree… this show had 2 previous seasons up to it’s finale that didn’t fair well. saying that its ending was the best it could have been doesn’t justify the previous two.
 
again… agree to disagree…

Being arguably better than it’s contemporaries doesn’t make it good. Having the least bad conclusion to a series isn’t a very laudable accomplishment.

For what they established, the show ended as well as it could have, which between the rushed Samurai Jack finale, the terrible finale season of SVTFOE, the clusterfuck that was GoT season 8, and the half assed ending to Steven Universe’s fifth season, is a lot better than what most shows get these days.

everything after 6 kinda just sucked.. and 9 felt too rushed.. this is just my opinion.. but the first 6 were really good and nice. probably should have ended after that.

It’s pretty wrong though.

Well, I mean it’s not wrong.

The downfall of FiM was season 6 with the reform of the changelings. It wasn’t because they were reformed, but how, that proved that the show couldn’t handle everyone being friends.

There had been ups and downs in every season until 8^^  
After the end of season 8 (Cozy’s punishment) it continued with downs, even more downs and maybe one or two ups. Too many clichés that doesn’t fit mlp G4.
