>>/4458/ > /mlp/ loved it? I had been out off /mlp/ for most of that week but I saw anons complaining. see >>/4422/. Three quarters of the voters rated it with a 7 or higher and that´s pretty funny because after a week or so, I didn´t see it with that high praise on a few random replies here and there. > I guess no Dolores? and the student six I suppose. > I think if this becomes a template of the future than their could be some stuff worth looking back on. Not the plot itself but the behind the scenes. I meant only for the special and discussing just about it but yeah, if we decide to dive into that perspective, it can only get worse from there. Well, maybe not with a fully pessimistic note. If we take this special as a reference/prototype for the next decade, then gen 5 would turn out as a meh generation. It would become the second best gen because it would have the technical parts in order but the execution and entertainment value of it wouldn´t make anyone scream about it. It would come and go without pity nor glory, only staying as a serviceable show on the surface. > Diet ponyville. definitely >>/4459/ > that was plot full of tropes but done in a pretty clever way. and one of the biggest pros of it was that it compiled all of them flowing naturally and getting combined into one single plot. The fact that they didn´t clash into each other abruptly or in an awkward way was admirable. > Like it doesn't have the soul of the show. the ingredients are there but even the most well known characters cannot offer much. What Lies Beneath and A Heart´s Warming Club don´t have as the main protagonists any of the mane 6 (except Treelight Sparkle) and you knew that you were watching FiM. Rainbow Roadtrip has the six of them yet it fails to make a connection with them. > My rating for now still stays 6 and or 6.5/10. Though if the behind the scenes becomes true that this was purposeful I could lower it. If it was rushed by outsiders than I stick to 6.5/10 because when you compare it to other projects in development hell that were cut and rushed, at least they kept it in one coherent whole though if it was complete chaos that could have been more fun to talk about tbh that relies entirely on the context and the scenes behind the making of this special, not the material itself. So time will tell which score will make the cut whenever we hear something about its process. About discussing more episodes, I have watched The Last Laugh (2,4,5 Great is airing today by the way) and fortunately, FiM is carrying the spirit that the special was lacking. I do have to give it a second try but I can certainly say that this is a solid one.
