Okay, Béla, but was a new thread really necessary?
OY VEY DELET DIS ANTI-SEMITIC FILTH
i expected nothing less. a true bad timeline ending.
>>246980Sometimes I think instead of trying to fix and retcon all the show's stupid decisions from S3's ending onwards
I should just have my fanfic start with Twilight waking up from a daft dream she barely remembers, just a Unicorn in Ponyville with some friends. No alicorn, no gods, no bullshit.
>>247022That'd be a good premise to a depression fic.
>>247022i mean, you can reintroduce the good stuff from later seasons without the need of twilicorn, like maud, the kirins, the hypogriphs and even the pillars(with HEAVY retcons to their lore, maybe even leave them in the past but tell the tale of their adventures... maybe through a memorial and someone old pony is telling the tales to the mane6(no glamgloom, huzzah!) or the cmc?)
>>247067>MaudGood until they kept pushing her because she was popular. For Maud-centered episodes, there should have only been one. Also, no Sheldon pony.
>KirinsMore interesting redesigns. Kirins feel really lazy; could have been something cool like first file-related, also, less faggy "no talk" shit.
>HypogriffsWasted potential:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippogriff#Beliefs_and_symbolismCould have been a better, actually somewhat original
Romeo and Juliet-style story instead of the stupid shit with AJ's not-parents (makes no sense in the context of
https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Family_Appreciation_Day and overly cliched). Also, the Movie was utter dogshit. Should not have been mixed with seaponies, should have been two separate entities.
>pillarsCool but yes, needs some serious restructuring.
>GlimmerGreat villain, needs to either stay one or needed a much improved backstory, and should take a backseat like Trixie if she does get reformed, instead of being number 7. Also, she's a bit too OP for a regular unicorn, and the season 5 opener needs to be edited to fit a better understanding of the assmarks in; Larson never seemed to really understand how they function. Despite that, I liked her chemistry with Trixie.
>CMCHoly shit, fuck their assmarks. Twilight Time was a neat idea and should have ended with their cutiemarks not being horrendously ugly.
Anyway, I sincerely wish I was in control of the show, but I was never ;_;.
>>247074>The pillars The main problem with the pillars, for me, was the retcon they caused. They basically are our midiclorains - instead of the elements of harmony being something higher, they where actually just a defense mechanicsm that Starswirl created. Sorry, if you thought that it was something else.
On the topic of retcons, ever since the end of season 8 I have been bother by the fact that Tartarus is a fucking larger basement. It is not this mythical place that is partially in another dimension. Its an empty fucking room with a bunch of basement that ponies are in control of. It is a fucking prison andreally not an extrodinare one either. Talk about not delivering one expectation. It is not like that ever sicne we knew Tartarus was canon there has been fantazied to death by the fandom.
This goes for a lot of thing with these season that if they were anyway just gonna let us down then don't write about it.
>>246980fun fact: I came to /pol/ through /mlp/
>>247025I just stopped crying for like a couple of hours you asshole
>>247077I hate that all the Pillars look so wildly different from the average pony, inplying that ponies only look similar now because of racemixing.
>>247074>GlimmerI feel like the whole power boost bullshit could've been explained better by having her study forbidden magic. Starlight being driven out of her town could be the catalyst for her to start finding darker kinds of spells to use against Twilight.
In the end Twilight can't defeat her, but instead shows that she'll turn into something ugly if she continues.
