I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Man, I'd like to see Changelings seen in a non-antagonist form. The ones loyal to Chrysalis can't be the only faction out there, and it'd be interesting to see one who doesn't want to go the predatory route.

@Kyler: Inter-hive warfare between Changelings!

Awesome.

How long before we see more Enchanted Comics in fanfiction?

Post of the Day #598

A good show can very easily have instances of poor writing, and I don't think anyone will disagree with you on the subject of MMDW's characterization being at least a little bit off (though it doesn't bother me as much as most people). FIM is good a vast majority of the time, which is good enough for me.

And they've kept plenty of things introduced earlier, like the CMC, Zecora, various pets, the mane cast all writing letters and and not just Twilight, the Gala, and that's just off the top of my head.

[up]I'd agree with this, if it wern't for the fact every episode has the same writing from the last, except it gets better. I'm just saying that like if it does have bad writing, you'll never find it with all the cutesy mess going around in every ep.

[up] Ahem. MMDW, PYHD, SAYS, Games Ponies Play. EQG, there are plenty of times the writing has been just plain bad.

I consider PYHD more of a thought experiment than bad writing. The situation in which things come to a head is unlikely, but the results within that framework are enjoyable and Iron Will is a great character.

[up][up]I didn't see much to hate about PYHD either.

[up]Am I the only one who found her attractive as a strongwoman in spandex?

[up] Well, the Flutterhulk design managed to remain cute, if anything.

[up]Indeed. Is it official also that FS is the Deus ex Machina of the group at times?

PYHD, the issue was it pushed her TO far, yes she has anger management issues, but this was to much, she turned into TO huge of a despicable, mean, nasty, hateful... thing. That final outburst, it was to far, way way to far. Not to mention making, again, the entire setting OOC by having such an overdone amount of just random assholes around, just for the sake of everyone being an asshole.

Not to be a Grammar Nazi, but since you're always making the exact same error all the time: it's "too", not "to". Too far. Too huge. Too [adjective].

Wasn't that the point? She went way too far, and realized it. Wasn't the point of the episode that outright aggression (and to a lesser extent, seduction and trickery) isn't what being assertive means or should mean?

But it did that, by pushing her too far. making her act too despicable. Saying THAT to her best friends? Completely and utterly tearing apart their entire lives and beings? And in as utterly vile and mean a way as she could? Again Williams just went to far.

Yes. She went too far. You realized that, they realized that, and she realized that.

No, I'm saying Williams went to damn far. Pushed Fluttershy past any believable point. that she could be THAT utterly cruel, evil, and mean to her best friends? No, that was to much. Spceilly when you add in just how full of utter assholes you've already made the twon for no damn reason and despite how little sense it makes.

After you do something like THAT, express feelings and thoughts that fucking nasty about your best friends, and this wasn't just some random outburst, it was to precise, to calculated. Those words were very very specifically chosen to hurt as much as possible. Meaning, that's how she really feels and simply never said anything before.

If that's your take, I suppose I don't have anything more to say. You've got your take, I've got mine, and it's be foolish of me to try any further to change your mind.
