How can a dead tree still summon them? Is it using the last of its power to project an image of Twilight?

I don't think I've ever watched an episode of this show and came away absolutely hating it before. There have been episodes that made me angry, as well as episodes that I haven't liked, but every episode has had at one or two redeeming qualities, up until now.
As someone who's been here since early season 2 it's extremely frustrating to see the staff treat the last season of the show like this. The fact that the "young six" is taking such a leading role already in the shows last season is like a spit in the face. Not only are these characters extremely new and thus underdeveloped, they're overall uninteresting and bland. I'd have been happy with the "young six" becoming a plot device to show the friendship school for their perspective, but the fact that their characters are undeservingly taking a bigger role in the show is unforgivable.
It seems like the original purpose of the "young six" was to serve as plot device to show of the school, (or the shows writers have really gone down hill) given how one dimensional their characters are. But to give these characters a bigger role (or any role at all to be honest) when we already have SO MANY characters in the show that haven't been explored to their full potential is a complete joke. I want to see Trixe get more character development or possibly a backstory, I want to see more of Starlight and Sunbursts relationship, I want to see more of the two sisters, I want to see some interesting episodes about some of the shows background characters, (preferably Lyra, my Waifu) I don't want to see 6 uninteresting, underdeveloped foals turn the tree of harmony into some kind of clubhouse.
The "young six's" lack of respect of defence towards the tree of harmony is a pretty good metaphor for what they themselves are to the show. They're superficial and selfish interest in the very symbol of harmony that's been with us since the shows finial premier is likely no different than how the writers of this espisode view the show.
0/10 (unironically my least favourite episode in the WHOLE show)
They should have extended the premiere to 4 episodes instead of 2, essentially making it a straight to TV movie. The only major problem I had with the premiere was the short run time, any other problems I had with the premiere could have been easily fixed if it was any longer. The fact that they chose to make this abomination instead of extending the premiere is unimaginably disgusting to me.
I'd have liked to have seen Sombra given more motivation for abandoning Grogar. His abandonment made him look extremely irrational and short sighted. If we had 4 episodes to use then we could have seen A LOT more interaction between the main villains of this season, and thus they could have been more fleshed out than they were. It would have also been nice to have been completely disoriented during some of the faster points in the season finally. (E.G. Sombras takeover of the Crystal Empire) But above all everything could have been a lot more fleshed out and complex than it was. For what little run time the episode had it was brilliant, but knowing that I could have been longer if not for episodes like this is particularly annoying, to say the least.
I had high hopes for this season. Please Hasbro, don't let me down, you know what happened last time. https://youtube.com/watch?v=1-ygbmjqE3o

Then you've either not seen many episodes, or you have no sense of taste.

How? They've been regularly shit since season 6. Watch a few good early episodes with a few good later episodes, and you'll hopefully see what I'm talking about.
Anyway, definitely 0/10. Yet another episode I had to skip through to tolerate.

Did you somehow miss everything since before the end of season 3 or something?
Besides you are overthinking the whole thing.
The students are fundamentally flawed in several ways and simply being present they drag down everything else.
They are supporting cast so viewers aren't invested in them the way we are the main 6 or the weekly characters.
They are kids, so the lessons they learn are dumbed down in the extreme to the point of being insulting.
They are from all kinds of places so any world building around them becomes scattered mess since it can't focus on making one place interesting when it has to deal with 6 different places at once.
Their personalities are just shallow copies of the main 6 instead of being characters in their own right.
The entire theme they are build on is based on ramming a political viewpoint down the viewers throat, and becomes preachy propaganda bullshit that even people who agree with its politics won't like.
The entire thing can be summed up in one word:
>Everycreature
Tells you all you need to know about the students…

I was being a bit hyperbolic because I was angry at this episode, but it's still rare that I hate an episode this much.
>How?
I don't know, maybe it was a bit naive think that the show would put more effort into the last season, in comparison to what we've seen in other recent seasons.
>>324179
Yeah I can't disagree with anything here to be honest. I just wish we could have something better than this. They're are so many other well deserving characters that haven't gotten proper development or screen time, and yet the show thinks it's appropriate to ignore them in favour of the "diverse six."
…Fuck me, and fuck this show. I just wish we could get something that wasn't terrible for once, MLP """used""" to be that.
