I think season 8 and 9 are the weakest seasons.
I don’t like Flurry Heart
I don’t like the school of friendship.
One of my least favorite things about later seasons is how much main characters are acting like idiots to make the new characters look good, which includes Starlight Glimmer. Twilight crying like a mess after her school shut down was one of the wimpiest things she has done.
The End of The End is an awful finale while The Last Problem is only okay at best but doesn’t really feel all that conclusive.
The Grogar twist is and will always be stupid, and Discord is either an asshole for not even telling the two princesses or an incompetent idiot for not even being able to keep 3 deadbeats at bay.
G5 has a pacing problem, even since ANG and is never fixed in any continuation media. We went from trusting Misty to not trusting Misty to trusting Misty again in a short span of one episode while doing everything else for 6.
Despite everything, G5 still has to ride on the success of G4. Whether MYM was cancelled or simply ended, the fact that it ended in such a cliffhanger only for TYT to take over means that A. Hasbro feels Netflix is a less successful medium to use so they opted to just use YouTube, and B. Hasbro just has no faith in G5. They probably thought connecting G4 would have helped but seeing the overwhelming negativity toward it, especially on YouTube, made them decide to drop it.
Here, I list just about every problem I have with the whole franchise, at least as many as I can in general. I think this is it. It’s over. I’m done with MLP. I’m probably just gonna pay attention to fanworks and keep visits to this site to a minimum.
