Opinion/short review to MLP
8 years ago
Hello, everybody. I am terribly sorry for the lack of activity since halloween, I have been busy with a lot of irl/adult stuffs.
I am working on some ideas I have and I can hopefully show them here soon.
Anyway, long time ago I made a journal about that I started watching MLP and well... I am done. Some weeks ago I saw the last episode of season 7 and... oh, boy it was a ride.
I thought I am giving something like a short "review" and tell you what I thought.
WARNING: My opinion had started some stupid arguments before so please don't get mad at me when I say something you don't like or agree with, also SPOILERS.
Season 1 and 2.
These might be my favourite seasons. They are the funniest to me and they have some of my favourite songs; Winter Wrap up (from Episode with the same name) and Love is in Bloom (A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2).
Also, seasons 2's finale was surprisingly dramatic.
Already at season 1 I started to admire the continuity of the show. While some Kids shows always 'reset' after each episode this show does not forget the past ones wich is really nice.
Season 3.
This the short season (for some reason). I don't have much to say other than this season has another one of my favourite songs; Babs Seed (One bad Apple).
It was pretty nice thou. And yeah, the finale of this season was twilight becoming a princess and alicorn wich was the first big change in the show.
Season 4.
One thing I noticed while I was watching season 4 was that I stopped laughing so much. The show has less slapstick from there on wich I miss to be honest.
But there was an episode with Weird Al as special guest and I loved it.
Writing became better imo and the continuity also got more focused.
And then there was this fight at the end of this season between Tirek and Twilight. That was unexpected but nice.
Season 5....
oh, boi.... well... Season 5 is not bad. It had just like the others great moments and songs but... the first 2 and last 2 episode were a real bummer for me.
These episodes were made to introduce a new character, Starlight Glimmer, and... I hated it.
I will try to keep myself short here: I don't Starlight because of what she did and how it was handled by the show. I was triggered that she became a major character really bad, I was pissed.
Now I am still a bit upset but I stopped instantly disliking an episode when it's about her. I accept her but I still don't like her.
Season 6.
I was a bit hard on season 6 at first because of Starlight but this one is just as good as Season 5 imo. I really liked the moment when they made a parody of Star Wars fans discussing the original vs the prequel trilogy (Stranger than Fan Fiction).
Also yet another new character was introduced: Flurryheart.
Season 7.
Ahh, season 7. This one one has some great episodes. My favourite of them: The Perfect Pear. I can't remember the last time a kids show made me cry for minutes. It was so sad. The story of apple jacks parents, the song, the reason why gandpear came back to ponyville, the ending and most of all.... the fact that they are... well. That's almost dark but the show manages to made it suitable for kids to see (event thou it depressed me).
So, yeah. I like this show (even thou I was very angry at it after season 5...), it has good writing and animation and I now kinda get why this fanbase is so huge. (It's still surprising to me)
Welp. I guess that's it. Sure I could say much more but I don't wanna make this journal too long.
If you read this till the end I hope you have a nice day.
