>I can't think of any episodes which I thought were good, but the hivemind thought were bad

Anon, you are part of the hivemind now.

>>294095

Looks good, for the most part.

The hivemind will have to convene.

>>294106

It's good to know that I have objectively correct opinions.

>>294088

Same, even the "bad" episodes are watchable if you turn your brain off. I tend to watch more for the character interactions than the overall plot though, so that might be why.

>>294110

I can see the arguments that could be made for all of the other episodes you posted, but please tell me why in the world "Owl's Well That Ends Well" should not be considered a steaming pile of rancid dogshit.

>>294112

Because I liked it. But really I dont think it's complete dogshit, maybe just a 5/10 but I think it's ok

>>294113

I think you're in the minority there, then. People didn't even like that episode when it first came out, and that was back when autistic hugbox levels were really starting to spiral out of control. The Owl was stupid and unnecessary, Spike was dumber than usual, and the whole thing was poorly written.

But, I suppose coming to a consensus is the point of this thread. What do other anons think?

>>294111

Personally I'm not a fan of Crystal Empire.

The place has been cursed in the show, and every single episode set there has been unmitigated dogshit.

Sombra was described as this big scary baddie, but he was utterly moronic. He hides the one thing that can kill him, in the first place anyone would look for clues to where it might be hidden, his personal chambers, at the top of a tower with open doors in every direction with the heart sitting in the middle of the room in plain view.

The only way he could have done a worse job of hiding it would be to leave it in plaza where it normally was.

He was no threat in any way to anyone. Even when he had Shining Armor at his mercy all he did was give him horn herpes. No brainwashing, no enslaving, no holding the guy hostage, no using him as leverage to force the ponies into letting him into the town. He just let him go.

The only humor I found was cringe, and I don't like cringe.

Also, wasn't RD manhandling fillies from Games Ponies Play? The episode where the mane 6 learned about why it pays to bribe people in power into giving you favours?

>>294114

It was Rancid Dogshit.

Spike spend the entire episode acting like a retard, being neglected by his "parent" and in the end he had to apologise for Twilight never noticing the problem…

Also, fuck that owl, that one joke wasn't funny the first 10 times you used it, nor the dozens of times since, stop trying to make it into a running gag.

>>294114

>What do other anons think?

Indians are unnerved by its smell.

>>294114

>that was back when autistic hugbox levels were really starting to spiral out of control

Oh no, it was well before that happened. Remember that people back then used to bitch about Cutie Mark Crusaders episodes just because they took screen time away from the Six. The hugbox did not really get going until mid-way through Season Two right after Derpy spoke.

>>294111

The worst thing about "The Cart Before the Ponies" was that it felt like a TV-Y7 kids show. It was relentlessly stupid. Apart from that, though, there were good things about it. Cheerileader was indeed surprisingly… appealing. The world needs more Cheerleader Cheerilee porn. The cart designs were fun. I even liked the song.

>>294115

>Spike spend the entire episode acting like a retard, being neglected by his "parent"

Spike is always like that. The only good Spike episode had him turn into a huge monster for half of it.

>>294119

>Spike is always like that.

Only in spike centric episodes. The rest of the time he's usually the sane voice in the room. This is why its so jarring when the episode presents him like a complete moron.

>>294172

all of these Big Important Decisions are mostly either obvious toy-bait or fan-pandering.

which, yeah, is pretty shit, but there's nothing we can do about the toybait and the fan-pandering wouldn't be all that bad on its own (frankly I don't mind discord being relevant occasionally).

Lauren Faust was concerned with telling a coherent story and building a coherent universe that had like, I dunno, morals and feminism and shit. McCarthy seems like she's just letting Jewsus take the wheel and driving the show right into capitalist hell

but honestly I still enjoy a lot of the newer episodes, mostly just for the comedy and general situational amusement. I would definitely prefer S1/2's direction over the aimless confusion of wasted potential we have now, but the show is at least still USUALLY entertaining. When the writers aren't being incompetent buffoons, at least (see: kart race episode).
