Congrats to Hasbro/DHX for giving this episode the one title you don't want the target audience googling. At least they aren't giving the entire episode away in the summary this time. So lets get some GPILF action going! It might look like the sleeve of a wizard but I can guarantee Granny Smith still has full muscle control.
G M Berrow is writing this one. For some that's a plus. For others, not so much.
While we're here, spare a thought for Dash. Her ride is ending.
Enjoy!

This is officially the best title to any episode ever. It will be fun to see Granny Smith doing things that are not family-related. The pessimist that I have become worries that there is no way that it will be as good as the description makes it sound.

The writing has gotten really poor, there's no way around it. Why is this show still being screwed over by the same incompetent staff, when an IP starts to get stale it's time to get new directors and writers.
S8 is looking like it's going to be rock bottom of the show. There wasnt even anything worthwhile at the conclusion, like if Applejack was trolling Rainbow with a joke it would have still been a better fun conclusion than "Fuck AJ shes over protective and doesnt even know her own family"

I started watching all of the old episodes too just to see how much of a change it's been from S8 and I get more enjoyment out of seeing the reruns than the new direction. The writers dont know how to write for the mane6 anymore and if these episodes are going to be how it is, then I would be okay with more focus on the Student6 than a complete middle finger to the original characters.
At least next episode will probably have more cute seaponers.

I would expect focus to shift more to other characters as time goes on, I don't know why we still need to teach the Mane6 new or old lessons instead of having them help others to learn lessons.

That's a really depressing headcanon you came up with there pal. I was thinking it might be a relative (dad) who made it big causing Trixie to constantly surpass, hence the non-stop self praising trying to hype herself up.

Am I retarded or is the entire concept of a roller coaster being at all any fun make no sense to a Wonderbolt and especially Dash?
They literally do that shit all the time. Hell, RD does it all as she explains it to others before she's even been on it.
I kept thinking 'there must be something different about this roller coaster that makes it interesting even to pegasi, and then it lasts on screen for about 5 seconds as snapshots!
There is no given reason why the Wonderbolts should care at all about any roller coaster, let alone this one!
We were literally Told, not Shown. The opposite of how any story should be written!
The only part I liked was seeing Trixies dad.

Why people hate this season so much? Sure is worse than the last one so far but I never thought the first 2 were much better, I think you all are just growing out of it.
This is why the MLP fandom wasn't meant to last, if anything I am impressed it went strong for 3 years. You people must not watch a lot of cartoons just anime and Netflix with mlp being an outlier, I watch plenty of cartoons and mlp is still one of the better ones, in fact I really didn't liked season 2 being overly preachy yet is the most loved by fans.
▶ 50526f (6) No.311388>>311396

That's because you're retarded and have shit taste. One can watch S8 and go back and watch S1 and S2 for the very first time, and they're going to see the first two seasons as objectively better. And that's even with the zigger episode and the obvious filler near the end of S1.

>I watch plenty of cartoons and mlp is still one of the better ones
That is true without a doubt. The thing is that guys initially got into the show precisely because it was so much better than other cartoons. Saying that it is good for a cartoon is just comparing it to trash that we would not voluntarily watch unless we were drunk and wanted a laugh. Thus, the bar for MLP is set way the hell higher than it is for normal kids' shows. You would compare it to Rick and Morty while I would have it in the company of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
>in fact I really didn't liked season 2 being overly preachy yet is the most loved by fans.
There were a lot fewer lessons in Season Two than there were in Season One. Season Two still had the letters-to-Celestia format, so every episode that featured the Six (excepting "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000) had some moral to the story. Some of the lessons, like one ones in "Sweet and Elite" and "Putting Your Hoof Down," were outstanding while others like those in "The Mysterious Mare-do-well" and "A Friend In Deed" were less than inspiring.
They did need to drop the lessons just because they were unsustainable, but the great thing about them was that they kept the stories focused on interpersonal activity. It was the key to the whole friendship arc. Without the lessons, the connection to the theme of friendship is tenuous.

There were a couple episodes that looked like budget sinks in Season One, but they were not clustered around the end. Which episodes were you thinking of?

What comes to mind the most are the "how the mane six got their cutie marks oops it was dash flying fast that sparked it" episode and "Fluttershy tries to care for a phoenix but nobody tells her it's a phoenix until the end even though a princess would probably find time to explain why her bird looks retarded".

>What comes to mind the most are the "how the mane six got their cutie marks
"The Cutie Mark Chronicles" filler? Hell no! That one looked like it ate the budget from both "Show Stoppers" and "Owl's Well That Ends Well." It used every voice actress in the cast, introduced a bunch of new places, required models for each of the Six as fillies, and featured a song. It may have been the most expensive episode of the season until "The Best Night Ever." That was clearly one of the focal episodes of Season One.
>Fluttershy tries to care for a phoenix but nobody tells her it's a phoenix until the end even though a princess would probably find time to explain why her bird looks retarded"
I seem to recall reading that "A Bird In the Hoof" had to reuse the Benny Hill routine from "Ticket Master" due to budgetary problems. I still like the episode mostly for the dynamics that it added to the canon. That episode gave birth to the notion that Celestia routinely screws with her subects' heads for her own amusement, and Twilight's pannicky fear of displeasing Celestia would become one of her most mysterious defining traits. That episode also had one of my favorite jokes of the year: the bit where Twilight and Fluttershy are looking for Philomena by picking up their friends and checking underneath them.
