Unpopular opinion time

@PonyPon  
Yeah, the UCWU doesn’t seem to get that Twilight’s new castle was a result of a magical phenomenon and claim it was done by scab laborers with fake crystal. I figured we’d better try to calm them down by accepting their offer for a new town hall.

@Itsthinking
 
I say we do a pointless multi-million dollar environmental study! All that crystal being transported disturbs the habitat of the endangered Everfree dirt clod. I demand all my progressive ideals be tended to!

@Itsthinking  
I want to take over and dissolve this democratic system so badly

@Itsthinking  
Where the bloody hell did this bumfuck town get 300,000 bit to just throw into the black hole that is international charity. Has the treasurer been taking bribes from Rarity again?

@Whatevs  
Yeah, we need a strong and just leader.
 
 
King Gaius of Auj Oule.

@Bolan  
A study is already being done on whether or not to allow the Crystal Empire’s Zephyr trains to run on normal tracks, initial results show that damage has already been done.
 
 
@Trickquestion  
Ponyville recently increased income tax to pay for some of it, but most came directly from Canterlot.

Celestia is not evil or any of that stupid Tryantlestia crap.
 
BUT.
 
She is very badly written.

@The_Mungoman  
Celestia is kind of in this weird position where she’d be a really interestingly flawed character if she was written how she is on purpose. Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time has had similar accusation thrown at her, but in her case she’s intentionally written as morally ambiguous. With Celestia, it seems like they created a psychologically complex, tragically flawed character on accident.

@Trickquestion  
Very true.
 
Like almost everything in MLP:FiM, Celestia has great potential… They just won’t use it.

If only I could post images as anon….

Celestia is not poorly written.

@The_Mungoman  
you got my message?
 
 
@Itsthinking  
She’s only poorly written if you expect more from her and the show itself. If all you expect is she’s a moral guide for an episodic status quo show then she’s perfect.

@Whatevs  
by which I suppose that means, she’s just as mediocre as a character can get.
 
yeah, I pretty much agree with that.. That’s what I’m getting from her and Luna anyway. :/

@toxicitzi  

 
Can I ask you a question?

@Background Pony #A91E  
given the tone that I get from the way you asked, I’ll have to say no..
 
my last priority on this site is to argue.

There’s something comforting about drama about the franchise actually being about the show rather than a spinoff.

@Itsthinking  
That said, I worry that EQA could be just looked over and ignored, even if it is, in fact, decent. Spin offs can make or break a franchise from spreading outwards into more cultural recognition and I worry what would happen if they took it as a sign that nobody really wants any more.

@toxicitzi  
Pwease toxic-kun

@StinkomanFan  
The thing is that EqG in general went for a niche while FiM goes for mass appeal.
 
I’m more excited for what the rumored second TV spinoff is.

Some of, if not the most annoying people in this fandom, are the idiots who only have a Twitter account to bug the show staff.
 
But there is this, though no one should be surprised.

@Itsthinking
 
I want to bet that it’s a preschool ‘Dora the Explorer’ rip-off featuring the CMC.

@Itsthinking
 
Two times?
 
What’s the second time Flash Sentry appeared in the show?

@Bolan  
FiM already technically targets pre-school first, at least in terms of the toyline. Show might be for the secondary audience of 7-12, but I think it goes for the pre-school demo as well.

@Gizoid101  
S4 finale. Something that wasn’t in the original script.

@Itsthinking  
And there’s this idiot…
 

 
Ugh…
 
 
@Gizoid101  
Once in Three’s a Crowd when Cadance stepped off the train, once in the finale.
