Unpopular opinion time

So there was a write-up posted on Equestria Daily for Dance Magic. By someone who clearly despises the EG series and can’t be bothered to get some facts right.
 
“Also if you haven’t caught on, they are trying to raise money for Camp Everfree, thus this special takes place an estimated 1 to 3 months prior.”
 
Er, no… they’re raising money to renovate Camp Everfree, of which they’ve already been to, evidenced by the fact that Twilight is more open towards everyone and “ponies up”. The poster either didn’t watch Legend of Everfree or doesn’t remember it.

Not liking EG basically “because it’s not ponies” is kind of dumb, but I see that all too often (the Dance Magic write-up can pretty much be summed up as “this isn’t ponies so it’s both stupid and irrelevant”).

You don’t like the changelings new design? I didn’t know that. In my case, I do think King Thorax looks better with his old colors, though it is kinda just denying reality.

People going insane that Spike doesn’t have an episode this season. To me he’s been GREAT so far. Three eps in a row he was acting in his strongest mode. Being the sensible snarky straight man who kept Twilight and the others on track.

I don’t hate them, and it’s their sudden and forceful appearance that annoys me the most, but I do hate that now they are just as candy-coated as everything else in the series.

Without a hint of irony (or the knowledge of how the changelings switch sides since I haven’t watched Season 6 yet) I can say that I have no problem with the changeling’s redesign.
 
EDIT: Having actually looked closer at them, I don’t see the problem. The color scheme works since they’re, you know, BUGS, and I can see how the designs are a little “busy” to look at, but aside from that there’s nothing wrong with them.

I think the majority of the site hate the new changelings.
I wonder who actually likes them, since almost all talk of them is about how someone hates them.
I like the new designs.

For me it’s a mix of the new ones having a repulsive color scheme and me simply finding the old designs to be far superior. The sleek black and fangs looked so much better than the melted box of crayon thing they went with in the new ones :P

They were all a really dark monochrome blue, save for Thorax who was monochrome green. It’d have been real nice if each one was one really dark color throughout or something. Or even just one bright color instead of all those gross gradients D:

I actually like the color scheme. They’re so delightfully garish.
 
 
@Mildgyth  
Of course, the only downside was that they literally all looked the same.
Not entirely. There are some color and style differences between them now. Not as many as with ponies, but unlike their unreformed look they aren’t all almost exactly the same.

I’m gonna wait for the “reality Ensues” art of Zecora once “Health of Information” airs.
You and me both. I started pondering the fan art potential the moment I saw that synopsis.

Bad end:
 
“Oh FLuttershy, back I see, I take it you have news for me?”
 
“O-oh yes I do Zecora. I- I found a cure for the Swamp Fever you have!”
 
She would say, trying her best not to cry, as she hides a lethal injection needle in her bag.
 
Also, feather Bangs song was better then Macs.

I don’t “Hate” the new designs, that’s kind of a strong word to use. I just…Haven’t gotten used to it yet. It usually takes me a little bit to get used to changes (No pun intended) When it comes to MLP.
