Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

MLP is over here too in German

@NeoEnvy  
You have the biggest and most famous pony convention in Europe (that outlasted Bronycon). I hope people noticed.

@NeoEnvy  

 
At the Galacoon.

@Applepie2010  

Misanthropony released a 50 minute rant video on the Discord/Grogar twist, haven’t seen it myself but it’s probably not worth sitting through.

@Oddball64  
Just give a tl;dr version.

@Wiimeiser  
I’m guessing: It’s Bad.

@Oddball64  
While I not a fan of MisAnthro Pony, I think the video wasn’t so bad. He have some points about the twist, but the video shouldn’t be that long.

The Discord Grogar thing was not that bad. It was actually the best Discord has been written since his godawful reformation.
 
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still horrible, but it’s like eating nothing but fecal matter for 70 years and then being given sauerkraut. I personally hate sauerkraut, but compared to literal shit, it’d be fucking incredible! And that’s how I feel about the horrible way Discord was written there. Still bad, but is basically perfection compared to the abject failure that was his Seasons 3-8 self.

There’s no failure in the seasons. Except for the grown up CMC, Princess Celestia performing, and the Princess vacation episodes. Also the episode where Pinkie tried to become friends with a mule who I forgot his name, but he was selfish to her.

@Background Pony #2F7B  
Well the most failiure is that Spike has been hurt alot.
 
Compare to other generations that somehow they didn’t get hurt at all (maybe a little.) But in G4 was a complete disaster!
 
And yeah… Garble did not help at all!

@NeoEnvy  
Yeah…. Tabaluga is also german too.

@Background Pony #2F7B  
They do push it too hard sometimes, I think especially in the later seaons. Still, I’m in favour of always having a happy ending.

@Background Pony #05C1  

 
I know Tabaluga

@Background Pony #2F7B  
There’s also:  
Applebuck Season  
Call of the Cutie  
Suited for Success  
Sonic Rainboom  
Lesson Zero  
The Last Roundup  
Apple Family Reunion  
Hearthbreakers  
The Cart Before The Ponies  
Every Little Thing She Does
 
To name a few.

@DerpyFast  
Ok, some of those are controversial, but who in the world considers Sonic Rainboom a failure? It’s… like the basis for Rainbow Dash’s entire arc.

@Philweasel  
I think he’s talking about episodes that address the subject of failure. Not the episodes themselves being failures. A lot of Sonic Rainboom was about RD being afraid of blowing the contest

@Kiryu-Chan  
Yep. Also, Rarity fails pretty hard in that episode.

@DerpyFast  
Save for The Cart Before the Ponies, I like all of those episodes.
