History YMMV / MyLittlePortal

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: After waiting over a year for the fifth episode, some viewers were turned off by the exponential increase in both gore and a sense of hopelessness, thanks to [[spoiler:the past fall of Canterlot and a great deal of character mutilation, along with the death of most of the original show's cast in gruesome ways. By the end of it there's practically nothing Twilight can return to]]. Illustrating this phenomenon is the fact the next episode has around ''one fifth'' of Episode 5's views, with the drop in views remaining for the one after that.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy:
** Episode 4 reveals [[spoiler:everyone but Twilight and Trixie are dead. ''Everyone''.]]
** Episode 5 takes it to new heights. [[spoiler:Each and every one of Twilight's friends are murdered in increasingly brutal and gory ways (Shining Armor has his ''heart ripped out'', for one), Twilight herself suffers horrific ColdBloodedTorture (wings slowly torn off, disemboweled, etc), and Equestria is reduced to a wasteland under Changeling rule]]. Really, what's even the point of Twilight attempting to escape now? There is no happy ending in sight.

* FridgeHorror: This is a crossover with ''Portal''. You will recall that the ''Portal'' storyline occurs [[spoiler:well after the Combine's takeover of Earth in ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'']]. With this in mind, [[spoiler:''what's happened to Equestria in the ten years Twilight's been in stasis?!'']]

** And now it's AscendedFridgeHorror. In fact, it's '''worse''' - ''Portal 2'' revealed in the ending and the ''Art Therapy'' DLC that [[spoiler:humanity has managed to recover, given that Chell emerges in a wheat field and you can hear someone shout, "GET OFF, YOU GODDAMN BIRD!" after the bird leaves the facility in the DLC ending]]. This story? [[spoiler:Equestria is a smoldering ruin.]]

** And now it's AscendedFridgeHorror.

* FanDumb: Among the complaints Christian received for his series range from not being accurate to ''Portal'' lore, to having ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' references in a ''Portal''-related series (despite the two franchises sharing the same universe), to ruining the original video game simply by putting ponies in his series. Christian loves to call these people out.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Episode 4 reveals [[spoiler:everyone except Twilight and Trixie is dead. ''Everyone''. Why the fuck should we care if Twilight escapes or not if all it'll mean is that she goes back to a world where all her friends are dead and her country is in ruins?]]

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Everyone except Twilight has been brutally maimed and replaced with [[ReplacementGoldfish artificial constructs]] by the time she wakes up.
