My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Usually when I watch a new episode with a song, I think to myself how the new song is nowhere near as good as any of the previous ones, then a week later once it's not stuck in my head any more, I accept that they're pretty good.

But I don't see myself warming to the song the changeling queen sang just because of those reasons. I mean did she really need to sing about how little she cares for Shining Armor or her dress and all that? It just screamed "I'm the villain in case that wasn't obvious enough!"

I write too many negative things about the show and not enough good things :(

I dunno! I thought the song was okay. It made her unabashed evilness interesting for a bit anyway. The show's had much better songs though... I'm trying to listen to this one on its own and it's just not working. The BBBFF song's not bad, but nothing will ever match the sheer unadulterated adorable of Pinkie's smile song. ♥

ALSO YES I feel like that too but I wouldn't complain if I weren't honestly disappointed, and I couldn't be disappointed if the show weren't honestly good enough to make me anticipate something better!
 
I loved the new episode.

It was filled with action-somewhat. I love Twilight's brother. I hope to see more of Shiny Armor in the future. He is the best male yet.
 
I guess I just... don't really expect this show to have believable dialogue or multidimensional characterization or complex morality. I don't even mean that in the sneering low-expectations sense; I just don't think it's that kind of show. It's a silly cartoon about ponies where each episode ends with a letter to Princess Celestia explaining the lesson the main characters learned. It wants to be humourous, it wants to be zany fun, it wants to be lighthearted and warm-fuzzy-inducing and wacky hijinks and slightly exaggerated characters playing off each other, and it does that well, but it doesn't really want to be complex or nuanced and it doesn't really occur to me to judge it on those qualities. I mean, they're valid complaints just the same, but I don't really find them affecting my opinion of an episode.

So I for my parts thought the finale was pretty up there. (Much better than The Best Night Ever, for one, which I've always found decidedly mediocre.) There was humour, there was zany epicness, I actually liked the changeling queen's evilness as a sort of change of pace from the typically low stakes and little tension of the plots in the show, and This Night Aria is clearly the best song in the whole show so far by about three miles and I don't care what you think. >:(

(Seriously, I've found all the songs really forgettable except Winter Wrap-Up which is catchy in an annoying way and to some extent the Flim-Flam brothers' song, but I liked This Night Aria immediately and it only got better on repeated listens. The melody is haunting and beautiful and I really like how the crazy glorious evil comes across in the changeling queen's voice and so on and so on.)

I find myself once again having to agree with everything Butterfree said without adding anything substantial. This Night Aria is best song.

Best Friendship Report: Dear Princess Celestia, It's a tad easier to be proud when you come in first than it is when you finish further back. But there's no reason to hide when you don't do as well as you'd hoped. You can't run away from your problems. Better to run to your friends and family.

Just wondering - why Dragon Quest?

I just felt it was a really big wasted opportunity. I was hoping for this really big explanation on dragons and how they fit in with Equestria's history, how they and their society works, and where Spike came from. None of these were answered, and all we got was an episode about a little kid hanging with a bad crowd, which isn't exactly a new and exciting idea for an episode of a kid's show. At least Crackle and Peewee were cool.
 
I love My Little Pony. I've seen every episode, too! I love and tolerate like a true Pegasister, and my favorite of the Mane 6 is Rarity. :D
