Honestly Noel was outright doing NSFW stuff off the books for quite some time, and Hololive didn’t seem to have an issue with it.
Calli is a more complex case though, as all her activities are covered under her contract with Universal. That gives her resources and legal protections that allow her to do fancier stuff, for most of the others’ side jobs are pretty much always going to be a hobby.

The issue always was that adventure stories were expensive, but I would like them to be a little more… varied in their tone.
 
…maybe a little less “The characters are mentally ill jerks with an IQ of 40. Now watch them suffer”.

I thought Fluttershy in particular was great in season 4.
 
@Background Pony #D597  
I feel every season has at least four great episodes, even season 3. Season 8, which was the most… uniformly ‘ok’ series of the show IMO had “The Hearth’s Warming Club” “What Lies Beneath” “Sounds of Silence” “Road to Friendship” and “The Mean 6”.
 
That actually brings me to season 6, which I think was the most uneven season. It contains some of my favorites, and some of the worst episodes in the show. One of my favorite season finales, and a really dull season premier. And half the episodes are highly controversial, some some loving them and some hating them.

It was ok, but it was mostly held in high esteem due to coming after season 3. Twilight totally losing her personality and relevance still bugs me, and I still blame “Twilight’s Kingdom” for finishing off any illusions of competence from Celestia.

Season seven is one of the best reviewed seasons of the show in fairness. Most of it’s episodes appear near the top of ‘best of’ lists.
 
…6, 8 and 9? Well, there’s some gems there at least.

I’m pretty sure it’s an artifact from the days where it was all animated in Flash.
 
…holy crap, G4 was animated in flash. I’ve only just released how much that dates it.

I think the networks over there pick up shows in batches of twelve, and there’s a general tendency to drop shows after the first season unless they’re really popular.

The thing is, the network pays for a certain number of episodes, in a certain period. The dross and filler pays for the good stuff in a way.
 
Being too much of a perfectionist and only releasing your best work is a good way of going bankrupt.

I watched the trailer, and I laughed.
 
…goddamnit. I hadn’t posted here in almost a year, and they just had to drag me back…

Twilight should still be alive. Celestia lived thousands of years, why is Twilight gone? I think she died in a tragedy in the show’s universe that we may never see. Some kind of World War that killed millions, if not billions of creatures. There’s no way they all would’ve segregated like this without something like that. That may be how Twilight died. Alone. With her lessons abandoned.
This is going to give kids serious depression. It teaches them that all their goals are meaningless and will be destroyed at the end of their lives. And then they’ll be forgotten. Forever. 😕
 
It’s important that the kids learn the futility of existence early. This is educational.

I think she was prepared for Sombra. She set it as a test for Twilight and offered her minimal resources because I don’t think she considered him that much of a threat, much like Nightmare Moon. Both came back with barely any resources and no armies themselves, without which Twilight is quite capable of handling them.
 
If Twilight failed, Celestia and Luna could take out Sombra. They were likely on standby to do just that.

You know what, I enjoy hating Silverstream. It’s not like with Discord, where I wish he’d just fuck off and die. I want Silverstream to have screen time and be important, so I can sit here and hate her more.
 
She’s fun. I appreciate her.
 
And Trixie’s better with magic than everyone seems to think. I think people forget that a lot because her one big adventure story had her as magicless as everyone else, but in ‘To Change a Changeling’ her magic was more effective in a fight than Starlight’s, and she’s pretty handy in ‘Student Counsel’ too. Her telekinesis seems legitimately exceptional.

God yeah, that episode infuriated me… in all the right ways. I was a little uninvolved during season nine, but that episode made me feel.
 
Goddamnit Silverstream, you peabrained walking Darwin award. How on earth did you survive childhood? And Starlight, why do you feel that her brain damage is somehow your fault?

I still think, for all it’s cheapness and camp, that the first He-Man was a pretty decent little show.
 
She-Ra was alright, but I think the rot had already started to set in at that point.
 
I never liked Thundercats, but I admit to not being sure why. Of the top of my head I remember thinking the pilot and premise was cool, but that they never seemed to do much with it. (which is a similar issue to the one I would charge the remake with funnily enough)

I think she’s less narcissistic, and more lacking in the ability to read others. They can be mistaken for one another, and there is some overlap, as both tend to result in her interpretation of the situation being the one she’s basing all her actions on. Back in her villain phase she was pretty narcissistic, a fully paid up believer in ‘my opinion is right, and if you disagree you offically suck and this is for your own good’.
 
Post villain phase she is often horrified and despondent when she realizes her interpretation is wrong (after occasional bouts of short lived rage and self pity). This often needs to be pointed out to her, but I can’t blame her for what seems to be a legitimate impairment.
 
She’s also almost opposed to taking credit and being important. Though occasionally a little smug, she has to be forced into any sort of leadership role, tends to prompt Twilight to take the lead, and downplays her contributions if directly praised. That in itself is firm proof of any suggestions of narcissism.
