>Young six
I just noticed this, please kill me now. Are they using this stuff as a segue to G5, if not, why do much focus on all these new chars for just one season? Im afraid to watch this episode as the last one really didnt sit well with me.
Anyone who watched it have any input?
>>146860I enjoyed it well enough. It was one of those episodes where it's supposedly about how both the people arguing and not getting along are in the wrong but honestly Applejack was right about near everything and Rainbow Dash was just being a cunt like usual.
This was actually a pretty fun episode. But some things still irked me.
The mane 6 never seem learn anything, still operating on their original tropes with no sense of growth or maturity even tho they are supposed to be teachers/mentors now.
Because of this, the youth are seen as the only one who can solve problems, and thus diminish the elders.
While this can be true in some cases, I feel that its would be a better message to show how AJ and RD had grown and be a guiding force for the youth. Especially since it seems that these children of different species had come to Equestria to learn from the best.
I may be reading into it to much, but the message seems to be reject the wisdom of those who came before you. And in this case it was warranted because they were just behaving like idiots, which I dont think is congruent with 7 seasons of prior experience.
So in conclusion fuck the writers for not building good character over time, while still trying to maintain continuity.
>>146860They were more of plot devices then actual entities for this episode.
>>146868>>146899Yeah seemed like pretty basic season 1 tier development as far as AJ and top cunt go.
>>146932Did you mean to say, "Top Cute"?
>>146899The show was never meant to run for this long, and the constant shuffle of staff has ruined any potential for real character growth in favour of gimmicky seasonal stuff like this school. You can't base a television program on a small cast of characters and then run that show for 9 seasons and not run out of ideas. Longer running shows tend to focus more on things happening in the world around the characters and basing the story on how a cast of characters react to the events around them, something the show staff don't quite seem to grasp.
tl;dr, the show was designed to be episodic and short, but they've tried to retool it midway into being both episodic and serial, and failing in both.
