Directing in television is very different from directing in film. The show’s writing is done at hasbro studios, and jim works at DHX. Jim isn’t even in the same country as the writers.
You’re joking right? They’ve had countless new writers on with every season for years and it’s blatantly obvious they don’t know very much about the previous seasons and characters when they write these things. It’s also Jim Miller’s job as the director to make sure things are consistant, so writing that is all over the place for years is squarely on the shoulders of the writers and him.

WHAT? No, I wouldn’t! Fanfiction is just a written story like any other. Meant to capture an experience or express emotion or the author’s liking of the source material, stuff like that. I have even less of a reason to criticize fanfiction. Who cares, it’s for fun, I won’t shit on them for some hobby writing!
@DanielTepesKraus
Well, it’s not the fault of the ones who wrote it, you are given a bible, you choose how to interpret it. A part of it is pretty much deducated to YMMV about people’s opinions, and how srupid/extreme they get.
@Train Dodger
Imagine someone reading a story about Superman killing civilians and instead calling out the writer for not knowing his source material, he is calling it “brilliant writing”

i guess it’s what happens when celestia picks proteges based entirely on them having “more raw power than any pony she’s ever encountered” instead of morals, intelligence, mental stability or leadership abilities.
@TheSultanAkbar
personally i think tv tropes is the worst thing to ever happen to fandoms as a whole. it reduces people’s interpretations of media to a basic checklist of “these tropes = good, these tropes = bad”.

Oh for fuck’s sake facial expressions are not fucking memes
When people call them “meme faces”, they mean faces that are essentially made stupid and have the potential to become memes. For example Rainbow Dash’s “SO AWESOME” face is a meme. Why? Because it’s so odd/unique looking that people spammed it. Stop thinking it doesn’t fit the criteria of a “meme face” just because the internet hasn’t turned it into a meme. The point is it COULD become a meme just like anything can become a meme. Happy to clear that up for you :)

Season 1: Twilight is mostly cool-headed and will do anything for her friends.
Season 9: Twilight is a walking meme face and will sperg out over anyone and anything
This is peak bad writing, it‘s exactly the same that happens to every TV show (especially sitcoms) that has been on air for too long.
