Sometimes I just wonder about how we set our expectations for things. Well, thanks for the good time, I guess.

@edvd
This season doesn’t really impress me so far. I don’t want to say anything yet but so far it is a close call to S6.
 
Really. Because I think this season has been generally good. I haven’t seen one that I would classify as bad (yes, even the most recent one) yet, so I can’t quite sympathize, but I understand.

You’re allowed your opinion, I’d love to hear more from people having liked it than… what we currently have. Specifically arguments and well-thought paragraphs.
 
I thought it was perfectly fine. I don’t think it’s the best episode this season has had (and there have been some rather choice ones), but I don’t see why people would react so strongly to what would be considered slightly above average any other time. I even saw someone compare it to the reaction to The Last Jedi and now I can’t help but wonder whether people are allowing themselves to get awfully worked up about a kids show about cartoon horses. They can’t nail everything all of the time, but it’s not like this was awful.
 
Hyperbole rots your brain, kids.

My god, people. Go see it if you want to and don’t if you’re not interested.
 
Are we gonna argue over a 71% on RT with no consensus yet? If it doesn’t get much over 80 that’s still good.

@edvd
Not a single sour “real” review, and this one is pretty spot on, especially on it’s comparison to Don Bluth.
I blame Lionsgate for not letting any reviews out on RT, not I can necessarily blame them after Jem but this clearly isn’t another Jem on their part.
 
I really don’t get their reasoning in this case.

Well, NO ONE liked The Last Airbender really.
 
But with this I’d wager you have a much better chance of getting people who aren’t fans to enjoy it. It helps to have a film that actually meets a baseline of quality. :P

Ah, so that’s why she’s so gentle to the movie. Not exactly surprising, but it’s good to know.
 
If being a fan means that you give a film based on the property you like a positive review, then plenty of people here aren’t really fans. :P
 
But I think she’s right about continuity baggage. We bring more of that to this than anyone else, and I wonder what our experience would be like if we were less familiar with the show.

Honestly, I think the review I posted is among the most honest and non-judgmental about the series the media has ever been.
 
Oh, and I just noticed that the author wrote a book about MLP. That would explain it.
 
AND she’s listed on Rotten Tomatoes as a critic. Hopefully her review will be up there soon.

I have to say, I’m also curious as to why the embargo is breaking so late. It doesn’t seem like they actually have much to be worried about. I’m sure there’ll be cynics and your haters who’ll review it badly just because, but the undercurrent of reactions has generally been breaking positive, and even some people who don’t normally watch the show are reacting kindly.
 
I feel much better about the critical reception now than I was a week ago, and I’m one of those guys who thinks that the movie’s more traditional animation style will give it an edge.

…I’m almost kind of scared to read the reactions here…
 
I wouldn’t bother. Make up your own mind. The slightest inconsistencies and smallest character moments get blown up sometimes.

My HONEST opinion on Honest Apple is… wait for it… that it was a complete…ly good episode.
 
I don’t get why anyone would be angry about it.
 
If anything, the only reason this feels odd is that this subject has never been addressed before. If they did it earlier no one would raise a stink.
