Reading WEIRD 1 STAR My Little Pony Reviews

[@yondaime500]

Twilight also says this to Starlight: "And it's not just my friendships that are important to Equestria! Everypony's are! When yours ended, it led us here. But just imagine all the others that are out there waiting for you if you just give them a chance!"

[@NessaTheBat1]

That speech really kept me going. And all I can say it's true.

[@minostaurian]

And yet the reviewer just took the first line and ran with it

[@SilvanaPuris2310]

yeah, that's part of her speech also got me, that Twilight included that not only are her friendships the ones important to Equestria, but also the friendships of everybody, all of them.

[@sweetdreams1028]

Exactly what I was thinking the whole time! And as Twilight said, Starlight’s friendship with Sunburst ending originally is what led to Starlight manipulating an entire village and eventually breaking the timeline. And similarly, next season, we see Starlight and her friend group are what led to Equestria being saved once more from Chrysalis and reforming the changelings as well. That’s not even to mention Celestia and Luna, Cadence and Shining Armor, the pillars, and students who also managed to save Equestria. It’s not only The Mane Six who save the day!🤦🏻‍♀️

To compare MLP with MIRACULOUS, is INSANE- Miraculous Ladybug can be good at times, but it’s also pretty bad. Especially season 1. Miraculous ladybug has their main character stalk her crush & no one calls her out for it.

[@pemanilnoob]

I think it’s worse that they compared mlp to vastly different types of shows You think mlp and GRAVITY FALLS are in the same catagory? You can’t compare those 2 at all Can’t compare it to miraculous cause apparently that show just sucks though

[@shadamyandsonamylover]

Yeah that was ridiculous to me! I love MLB - everyone knows that miraculous is trash. We just can’t wait to get more episodes hoping it will be good. MLP is in a different league. Also, MLP has not done its characters so dirty as miraculous has…

[@BlueShadow7777]

Because the show is a work of fiction with its own world that operates under its own rules

[@SanaGhasmpour]

*sigh* Seems like people can't even understand the purpose of fiction anymore. I mean a cartoon needs fiction and creativity. And not only cartoons, most of the things in the world come from creativity and imagination! I think it's crystal clear that If there was no such thing, we were still living like wild animals.

[@animepuppygirl1105]

I think the reason why most reviews said "Twilight thinks she's better than everyone!" is because of the very first episode of the series. I can maybe see why they might think she's stuck up but that was only because she just didn't care about making friends. Also, I'm pretty sure that review glazing g5 is definitely ragebait.

Yeah. G5 had some meh and even good ideas. But everything was just halfway cooked. Opaline was SUCH a dissapointment of a 'villain'. Honestly: the best character in all of G5 is Misty. She has at least a character development, and a (for G5 standards) quite tragic backstory and redemption arc.

[@vanessathebaconhater]

Same thing when someone said angry birds SLINGSHOT STORIES was better than MLP wtf

[@Powerfantasyforever]

21:48 Yeah sure it doesn't make sense that there are ponies in a show called MY LITTLE PONY

[@Tall_Order]

Literally the only time Rarity never leads Spike on, is in an alternate present time caused by Starlight, "I don't associate with dragons. I don't know anypony who would". We definitely needed something early on that was more subtle, like "Oh Spikey Wikey, you're simply too young to feel that way about me. It would never work. Maybe in 20 years, perhaps. Darling". I had to add Darling to the end. Just so you read it in Rarity's voice. lol

[@MaizeSnallygaster]

I mean the in twenty years part isn’t the best, but I see what you’re going for. I guess in ‘The Best Night Ever’ Rarity doesn’t want to get changed in front of Spike, but that was played as a joke since ponies don’t wear clothes and for the rest of the time she flirts back. Maybe they could have an episode where Rarities parents get injured and Spike realizes just how different the stages of life that the two of them are in. Then maybe have someone who leads Rarity on about whether they’re going to hire her, but they were really just playing along with her without any real intention of giving her the job and then Spike and Rarity have a heart-to-heart conversation about stuff. This is honestly inspiring me to write a whole Fic about this.

[@SunIsLost]

@@MaizeSnallygaster Good ideas

Yeah, it’s really weird that Rarity feeds into it but it’s also weird that none of the other ponies ever say anything to her or to Spike about how inappropriate it is.

Ok these people leaving 1 star reviews are clearly mischaracterizing Twilight. Like she loves her friends and doesn't think she’s better than them or anyone else. Heck there’s an episode season 1(Boast Busters) where Twilight literally doesn't want to demonstrate her magic as she thinks her friends will think she’s boasting like Trixie! SHE DOESN’T EVEN GIVE HERSELF CREDIT IN THAT EPISODE! LIKE EVERYPONY ELSE EXCEPT HER THINKS SHE’S AMAZING! Twilight get behind me, these people don’t deserve you.

[@siaorihara]

18:07 tbh I saw it as Rarity didn’t see that Spike actually crushed on her. The only time I think he did was the episode when she was possessed by that book, and she didn’t even remember it. I think she just saw Spike as overly helpful and at least mostly oblivious of it. Like what person wouldn’t be happy with someone being overly helpful?

[@sailorstar3148]

Yeah, sometimes Spike was doing the most when he was trying to oppress someone that is too old for him. She loves Spike, but not in that way(but how it’s shown in the show I don’t blame people for thinking that so that’s why I ship Applejack and Rarity I see the tension between those two)

[@siaorihara]

@ yeah like when she fawns over him, I see it as her just fawning over a kid like an older sibling. Even when I rewatched the series when I was older(when season 8 came out. I need to rewatch cause I didn’t watch season 9 yet) I never saw anything from Rarity where she reciprocated his feelings. It’s kinda like how when a kid tells their parents they love them people go “eww gross age gap love bleh 🤮” when it’s just innocent crushing.

[@Highland_Schleich]

7:00 I was going to say that perhaps they were referencing the hippogriffs turning into sea ponies with their necklaces made from the magic pearl and just got the seasons mixed up. But then I noticed that this review is from 2015 which was years before the movie came out. I have no idea what they were referring to here.

[@Hads_luhv]

Omg yess, I left a comment about them Turing into hypogriffs but when I read your comment, I realised the review came out in 2015 so now I am also utterly confused.

[@Lucky_Pony1]

Maybe when they changed in the season 4 finale? Idk the guy should have provided an example

[@thedarknessinthelight9824]

I assumed they were talking about EQG, the first movie and Rainbow-Rocks... But they could also just be referring to the fourth season finale since they evolve temporarily at the end.

[@MaizeSnallygaster]

The amulet thing being mentioned makes me think that it was meant to be a review of Sofia The First and they just confused the two shows for eachother, and I mean fair comparison, both shows are great. Sofia The First actually is a really fun series full of great songs and complex characters, plus it is kinda needed to understand Elena of Avalor which is a phenomenal series I might add. If you like MLP you’ll probably like it too, but yeah, they really should’ve checked that they reviewed the right series at least.

[@anxietymonstr]

8:23 something I'd like to add, this person doesn't finish Twilight's speech. Yes, she says her friendships were important and that without it Equestria is doomed. But AFTER she says that, she says, and I quote, "It's not just my friendships that are important to Equestria, EVERYPONY'S are!" Twilight's telling Starlight that it's not all about Twi and the mane 6, it was never about that, this was all about STARLIGHT's friendships! Being bitter and never making friends again leads to heartbreak and loneliness, but embracing new friends leads to a brighter future! EVERYPONYS FRIENDSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT

17:48 tbh while is phenomenon is a bit odd, it does happen, and i think it's called "a childhood crush". However what this review is describing, is not seduction, but plain manipulation and exploitation. Rarity uses spike's crush on her as a methods to get what she wants since its the feeling is not mutual. But hey, i'm no expert. Just speaking out of observation. Also take note, that spike is still a child, meaning he doesn't know better.

There was all that talk about people saying Twilight considers her and her friends more important then others, or the show is saying that, and yet in the episode with Starlight Twilight flat out says she doesn't know or understand why her friendship with her friends is so important but it is. Mainly because she just saw what happens when that friendship doesn't happen. She isn't saying her friendship is better, she's just stating that for some reason her being friends with them is important to the timeline.

That episode isn't even a good example of it as Twilight wasn't thinking she's the best or being malicious/uncaring, she just got incredibly competitive and obsessed with winning - which can be a problem, yes, but a different point entirely, imo (and by the end of that episode, she learned a lesson that *also* goes against their point, making this moot anyway XD)

When I was younger and I would watch MLP, I felt constantly excited, and yeah it felt a little weird at times, but ultimately seeing the main 6 or any other character would divert my attention from it. But trying to watch it probably around 10(?)years later, it doesn’t click with me like it used to. And that’s okay, we grow out of things. But that doesn’t mean we should be hateful towards the show, it was a great learning tool for little me, and I will always have a soft spot for MlP. Even if I don’t have that same feeling for it anymore, I always will feel affection for the show itself. It helped me grow up more than my own parents, it’s taught me many things, and I’m glad the show exists. It held my hand as a kid, and I can’t ever find a way to thank the creators for making such a wonderful show, and a lovely memory to hold onto to.

I'm glad we can agree that Sparity was just... not a good choice, primarily in its execution. Is why I have trouble enjoying episodes that focus on that aspect, and is just an aspect of Rarity's character I cannot get behind.

the thing with the s5 finale is also just the fact starlight didnt know that twilight and her friends were that important. She lived in that isolated village for who knows how long, she didnt know about twilight and her friends stopping villains over and over again with the power of their friendship and saving equestria from doom in the process, all she knew is that this so called princess walked into her village one day and put everyone against her when she had tried (through pretty shady methods) to build a community where nobody would be excluded and wanted to take revenge ON TWILIGHT by ruining the event that dominoed into her and her friends meeting. Hell, had she stayed to hear all of twilight's presentation she'd have realized that the mane6's friendship was way more significant to equestria as a whole, but she didnt

For real, what was with cartoons in the early 2010s having child male characters who had ongoing crushes on people too old for them? It happened on MLP, Adventure Time, and Gravity Falls, just off the top of my head. And it felt so uncomfortable every time.

Never watched Gravity Falls, but I totally agree. But the even worse part is when the adult woman uses a little boy's crush to manipulate them, which both Rarity and PB have done on multiple occasions.

[@maryamsalah135]

In my unimportant and unpopular opinion, I don't hate the show but at the same time I don't like it either. Here are my reasons: In G4: 1. Most, if not all, villains got redeemed which was fine at the beginning, but later I started to think that it's boring. For example: Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Nightmare Moon, Discord, etc. 2. The villains' redemption was done too fast and is too sudden in my opinion. For instance: Discord, Sunset Shimmer. In many two-part episodes the villain would be introduced in the first part of the episode and in the next he/she would get redeemed so fast that it feels too rushed. And some villains (like Nightmare Moon) were not threatening at all, she barley did anything to be considered as a terrible villain. 3. The villain's motivations for being the bad guy are too weird and odd, Cozy Glow wants to be the Empress of Friendship (Idk what that means...), Nightmare Moon only wants darkness and night and nothing else, King Sombra only wanted to conquer the Crystal Empire and nothing else, but why? Well, I guess we will never know, because we never get an explanation for anything. 4. The relationship between the characters and their parents is terrible, the parents leave their children and barley see or contact them, and in some episodes where they appear it's obvious that they don't care about their child or that their child doesn't care about them. Example: the parents of Applejack, Applebloom and Big Mac are constantly said to be "away/gone", Where are they if they are gone, are they gone like dead or are they somewhere else in Equestria? Another example: In one episode of the (I guess) 5th or 6th season, Twilight's parents invite her to go on a vacation with them and her brother, and instead of being happy to finally see her parents after a long time, the first things she asks is "how am I going to fulfill my princess duties?", excuse me?!?! That's so rude. 5. Too many plot holes: it's fine and acceptable for a series to not explain everything in detail right away, to give the fans enough room for theories and to make the audience interact more with it. However in my opinion the 4th generation of MLP has too many plot holes and unexplainable stuff, sometimes the writing is so lazy I ask myself "why did they waste time making this episode" 6. Too many filler episodes: I'm so much against filler episodes because, as their name suggests, they serve no purpose except to make the season longer, and makes the audience wait so long to get an actual episode. Also it doesn't add any depth or character development to the series. 7. Weird power dynamics: why can only females be alicorns? Why are only females the rulers? (Cadence is the ruler of the Crystal Empirie, Celestia Is the ruler of Equestria, etc.) Why not males too? And why are they princesses, not queens? All of this should have been explained to the audience by the writers but they didn't do so. 8. Too simple character designs: I like the artsyle of the series but I think the characters are too simply designed. 9. Illogical additions: when the character gets older they start to wear clothes, why? Were they okay with walking undressed as kids and teens? I find that kinda funny 10. I cannot describe to you how much I hate Discod, I neither like his powers, nor his character design, nor his personality, nor his motivations when he was a villain, nor do I like his voice. So I would never think of adding him in the version of mine. 11. The idea of friendship being the cure for everything is so ridiculous. Throughout the series tons of villains were defeated by "the magic of friendship" which is weird as only was it activated by Twilight (and only Twilight) giving a speech about how important it is. The main reason why I hate episode 25 of the last season (the 9th season) is because the villains were so powerful, they had everything they need to win and they were about to do so, but suddenly they stopped when Twilight commanded them to stop and gave a speech about how powerful she and her magic of friendship is... And BOOM they were defeated.... Like bruh what?! 12. I hate the idea that when the 6 "main" characters (Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie) do something good, the only character that gets the praise is Twilight herself, and IF the others get praised, they are not refered to as "the mane/main 6" but RATHER as "TWILLIGHT and her friends" 13. Characters like Pinkie Pie are annoying in my opinion. Making matters worse, she suppossd to be an adult, but she acts so childish - too childish if you ask me. 14. Twilight's redemption in the 2nd episode felt rushed, in the first episode we found out that she never had real friends and she is an introvert, but suddenly she changes her mindset in the next episode. It was done too fast. As an introvert myself, I can say that out of my own experience, a person's personality doesn't change in one night. Same thing would apply to G5, while G5 is still a bit better in my opinion than G4 because there is conflict in the first movie because of the pony tribe division. But it still lacks a lot in terms of character design, character development and villain motivations. Now looking back at the messages and discussion in this chat, does my version cover all these points?

22:29 The total rage😂😂

[@alfaseng]

Actual criticism of MLP: The story and characters are definitely above average, but the way it handles politics to kids is atrocious. I mean, the writing seem to promote absolute goddess-empress tetrarchy (4 people monarchy) with aristocratic elite at the helms of government as long as they are "benevolent" and "useful". (Just recently adopted this position as a long time fan. Didn't think much of it before)

[@Mlp_edits970]

First of all why the hell do you think they’re going to be worried about “teaching politics to children??” The writers were writing to little kids. They didn’t expect the audience to be teens and above. Second they did a ton of world building to show how all of the “politics” came to be. They also didn’t show the princess and being all that you said (WOW you talked fancy. Like what does that even mean?!) because in mlp they showed BOTH princesses (if you were talking able Celestia and Luna. They did though show all 4 of them) failing at some point or another where they had to call to others to help. This happened ALL THE TIME. so you can’t go and say that the writers wrote them to be “perfect” And sorry, I know that you can have your own ideas and that’s fine. But WHY THE HELL WOULD CHILDREN WORRY ABOUT POLITICS (sorry… sorry)

It’s disappointing that the review about Rarity and Spike is actually a fair review, considering we know Rarity’s personality and we know she wouldn’t seduce anyone by her will or use anyone, but somehow she does with Spike.. I don’t know what the writers were thinking when they were animating these parts but they really kind of “villainshed” Rarity. I have watched the show and I have seen that Rarity enjoy’s Spike’s company and loves him as a friend but in some parts she really acted like a different character. Which makes me think the writers were switched around episodes cause it doesn’t make sense otherwise.

[@llamawalrushybrid]

I personally find FiM to be overrated. At least until the later seasons of 5+ when they got lore heavy and started carving out their own world and expanding everything. Most people disliked that shift but I'm not entirely sure why. The earlier seasons did feel like any other show to me. There wasn't that fantasy element as strongly yet and the stories told just didn't really grip me. It was very slow paced was my main issue. I hope people can see where I'm coming from with this. Or at least that people are out there who also enjoyed the lore-heavy shift in later MLP. it was praised in Adventure Time but seemed panned in this fandom.

[@llamawalrushybrid]

I will say the personalities of and the fact there's 6 leads, really bolstered the show from the start at least. Having a character template isn't a bad thing. Especially if you shake it up. Rarity's the OBVIOUS exception she's not what anyone expects from the "fashion one". And her not even being planned from the start's even more awesome to pull it off. Applejack's the family-oriented one but her parents are dead. Fluttershy had a character arc. Rainbow, Rarity, and Applejack had their CMC counterpart to bounce off of. I do wish we got more nuanced interactions. "How do rainbow/applejack and rarity truly feel about each other?" Wasn't properly tackled until The End in Friend in season EIGHT. Of course it makes sense to tackle the easier plots to get your show warmed up first. Just saying that it wasn't entirely anything special in the early parts when it got popular. Edit: And the writer's seemed to just clearly hate animals which always furiously rubbed me the wrong way. Fluttershy peeves me off as someone who's animal obsessed. Anyone who tried to change an animals diet would be tarred and feathered. Not even as an actual animal professional but even people giving their housepets vegan diets are rightfully punished for it. It just geniunely seemed to be done in bad faith which was pretty sad..

If I had to guess, the reviewer that claimed Twilight thought she was better than her friends has only seen some of season 1 or 2. Twilight (especially in the early seasons) had gotten annoyed with her friends a lot. This may look like she thinks their below them. Especially when Pinkie or Dash does something pretty dumb or twilight has to push Fluttershy to do something. But all this is thrown out the window by the first encounter with Trixie, when Twi is AFRAID of people thinking she thinks she's superior. But she really doesn't want to 1-up anyone.
