depends on the data you didnt supply. seems valid enough though

Season two was excelenté

>>295861

Did Faust not work on season 2?

>>295870

Wrote the first two.

I'm sure she was there in wading through Hasbro sludge to give creative guidance for the first 1 1/2 seasons

>>295880

That comic brings up an interesting question. Why hasn't Celestia figured out how to harness the power of love yet?

>>295881

Princess Celestia has the power of godly glutes. Her highness doesn't need love unless it's from my hugs.

*Actually* if you put obvious logic into it, she worked on executing all 26/26 episodes of season 1. But the moment she got shoved off her producer chair by Mike Vogel, episodes 27,28 were solely executed by Vogel.

Sadly most of her ideas weren't hers. Stuff like Rarity, her dress episodes, Look Before You Sleep and especially, but *especially* the slice of life episodes. Originally FIM was meant to be 2x10 minute shorts each. So 52 episodes, each 10 minutes.

I'm still curious who was in charge of Best Night Ever, who's the asshole who thought it would be funny to end the series on a dead note by making everyone fail at their goals and giving the moral "don't get high hopes out of anything." after utterly contradicting Ticket Master's moral to sit the fuck together in 1 team of friends like Spike said.

That makes me curious, what were the original scripts for return of harmony, luna eclipsed, sisterhooves social, etc.

And did episodes like Lesson Zero have an alpha script as well before some butthurt ego-centric executive started modifying everything just like in Canterlot Wedding?

>Originally FIM was meant to be 2x10 minute shorts

I'm pretty sure it was Faust herself who discarded that idea in order to have more time to tell a proper story. The writing team just suggested it because that's how many children's shows in the genre were formatted. In any case I'm glad that proposition is dead because 11 minute episodes are shit. I wouldnt mind FiM having 44 minute episodes if they could.

>>295887

I wonder what would happened if they tried Two Shorts for a few eps like in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

>>295881

she is an introvert

>>295863

Hey anon come back here and tell us your opinion.

>>295881

She did Anon … but that was four millenia ago. Well, the first time.

She tried again about 1,730 years ago, but he grew old too.

She's kind, but she'll never open herself to that level of pain again, Anon. Not like that.

>>295861

Season 2 wasn't that terrible, you ask me. Season 1 also wasn't really that good, incidentally.

But then, I'm a weirdo who mostly watched for the worldbuilding.

>>295861

Thanks OP, saved it.

My suggestion is to make a bigger ladder for the below shit portions. As well as a higher ladder for the quality.

>>295861

I'd cut the bottom red line for S2. That season has been consistently boring and shitty throughout its entire 26 episodes. There's no low-low bottom like S3 and S5 which just slaps you with stupidity, like the crystal empire, nuMoondancer, Darin't Don't, Spike getting a stained glass window. While S2 and S4 just bore you to death with wasted potential like Castle Mane-ia and Luna Eclipsed.

>>298956

My wording was poor. I was referring to Owls Well as an example of a poop-tier episode from S1.

I didn't mind Show Stoppers, but I'm one of these few who actually likes CMC episodes. Maybe I'll change my mind once I rewatch it again?

>>298953

> I felt the spark during the pilot,

I'll be honest I can't stand large segments of the pilot. There was no chemistry between the characters, so the existence of resolution is just Twilight realizing "Hey I'm really magical"

Literally Deus Ex Machina. Although her teleporting past NMM was clever. I was surprised and pleased at that feint.

Otherwise MLP starts at ep.3, not before.

>>298953

>I felt the spark during the pilot

the only reason i got trapped in this damn fucking ride is because they didnt imprisoned luna at the end of the second episode, forgiveness and all that shit and the best night ever sealed the deal.

>>298970

>Literally Deus Ex Machina

Knowing the true origin of the term, I'd say it was not a 'Deus Ex Machina', but rather just 'The Power of Friendship' type deal. The later being slightly gayer, but whatever.

>Otherwise MLP starts at ep.3, not before.

Fucking pleb, I bet you skip the intro song.

>>298971

>The only reason i got trapped in this damn fucking ride is because they didnt imprisoned luna

Luna served her time for being controlled by evil, or whatever the fuck happened to her. I'm probably a huge faggot, but I like it when things work out happy in the end (especially with cute ponies). We still got villains like Tirek, King Sombra, and Queen Chrysalis who haven't been redeemed, though I'm pretty sure that Sombra straight up fucking died.
