POLL Here: https://strawpoll.com/eJnvvE6banvI explain each category below, read this below you vote on which one you are! If none of these describe you, please suggest a new category! The below covers all of the perspectives I have seen.Normal Faustfags: People who think that Seasons 1 and 2 are easily the best, and that Faust leaving is what started the show's decline. This describes most of this board, and a lot of the fans who lost interest during 2013.Season 1 Purist Faustfags: People who think the show got much worse as soon as Season 2 came along, they view Season 1 as the only non-corrupted season, viewing everything after as lacking the same charm.Season 3 inclusive Faustfags: People who consider Seasons 1-3 the golden era, they see Season 3 as more or less true to the tone and quality of the first 2 seasons, and don't think the show drastically changed or got worse until after Twilicorn.Season 5 inclusive Faustfags:This group seems weird at first, but it's surprisingly not too uncommon. This are people who love seasons 1-2 and thought seasons 3 and 4 were a decline that lacked the spirit and charm of before. But they also think season 5 is really good due to having more of a slice of life charm compared to 3/4 and having in their view better quality episodes than the previous two seasons with less fan pandering & coporate forced plot points.Normal McCarthyfags: People who think the show was really good for its first 5 seasons, and went downhill when Haber took over the show and all the old writers left (My view that I expressed in the chart, a sizeable minority of this board, and a lot of normie fans who lost interest after Season 5)Season 1 Exclusionary McCarthyfags:People who really like seasons 2/3/4/5, but think that Season 1 doesn't hold up well.Season 3 Exclusionary McCarthyfags: People who really like all of 1/2/4/5, but thought that Season 3 was a rushed mess with not the best episodes.Season 5 Exclusionary McCarthyfags: People who think seasons 1-4 were great, but that the show declined post-castle, viewing season 5 as worse than everything before. I sympathize with this view since I do think season 5 was weaker than the first 4 seasons and started some issues, but at the same time I still think it's a really good season and far better than anything after, so I would still put myself in the normal Mcarthyfag camp.Season 7 Inclusive McCarthyfags:Season 1-5 fans who also found season 7 to be really good, but did not like Seasons 6, 8, or 9.Normal Haberfags: People who think the entire show was consistently good.Half-Haberfags (aka Starlightfags):People who think seasons 1-7 were all consistently good, but that seasons 8-9 were a decline.Anti-Season 1 Haberfag:People who really like every season except for 1, which they don't think hold up well.Anti-Faust Haberfag:People who think seasons 1/2/3 were the worst seasons and that the show didn't become really good until Season 4.
>>41026273The entire show was consistently good!
>>41026273Petition to ban this chart from the board
>>41026365Why?
>>41026666Maybe it would finally make you redirect your autism to something else.
>>41026273I think seasons 1-4 are solid, there was little episodes I had any problems with, which I can't bring myself to say for 5.Many episodes in season 5 were unimaginative and not really good, with only a few I genuinely liked.
>>41026365Rarely I agree. Walls of text have no place on /mlp/.
>>41026666Super Satan get. Stop posting walls of text images.>>41026671The only way to stop autists and redditors is make them unable to continue. /mlpol/ was a huge success because their bots couldn't redirect.
>>41026273S1 is mediocre and made for toddlers. S6 is much more interesting, because it has the best character in the show (Glimglam) and many top tier episodes, including the final 2parter (the best one).
>>41026273I saw the show up to Season 7, but I admit I stopped seeing the "full" show up to Season 5.After Glimmer's "redemption", I felt most episodes were meh at best, and bad at worst. Cherrypicking can happen, like Saddle Row review, the Rarijack episode where they help Coco, some Glimmer episodes, seeing Trixie again and making her "part" of the cast, Maud getting a bf and Pinkie FINALLY LEARNING she may met people she doesn't want to be friends with, Sound of Silence (mandatory because Kirin Best Race), and maybe that one Magical Deer episode where Applejack finally has an episode with her sister.Ignoring other episodes I may have forgotten, Season 8 and 9 are utter trash, and is better to be forgotten, and if you like them I'll punch you. You are worst than EqGfags. At least they enjoy a semicanon spin off.
>>41027246>The only way to stop autists and redditors is make them unable to continue.They will die off on their own once they turn 40 anyway.
>>41027413Useful idiots survive catastrophes like roaches.
>>41027415Thanks heavens that autists and redittors are completely useless then!The reaper is getting closer and closer, baby!
>>41027401I'm watching the show and I can't bring myself to watch Season 7. I've only watched the first three episodes and even that was hard to sit through, it's like the show evolved for the worse and it doesn't help that the rest of the episodes don't improve in quality.I want to watch the series in full, but I've been putting it off because of the last three seasons. Hell, the only thing I've been looking forward to is EqG that I watch between certain episodes.
>>41027456>it's like the show evolved for the worse and it doesn't help that the rest of the episodes don't improve in quality.By then the show had stopped being FiM and instead just became whatever the current people in charge wanted it to be.
>>41027327Patrician taste. Season 6 is one of the best, 5-7 is easily the peak of the show. It's the part of the show I have the most fun watching as they pretty much perfected the formula by then. Going back to Season 1 is so jarring, it is so unpolished and really feels like they were winging it at times.
>>41027413>once they turn 40Explain this meme. I've seen you posting it multiple times.
Honestly, if that's how the anon who posted this for the first time originally somewhere in 2019, then by that logic nothing should be popular, EVER. Same with all anons that have reposted this for nearly 15 years and will still repost it in the future.
>>41027413>once they turn 40I hope that happens to you for posting this over and over. Once you post some things even as a "meme", it eventually comes true.
>>41027327>>41027542Glimmertards are an absolute joke
I might as well sit back and let the chaos happen.
I might as well ask: What would you call someone that likes all seasons 1 to 9 altogether?
>>41028059Someone who watched and enjoyed the show
>>41028070In that case, it should be MLP enjoyer.
>>41027327
>>41026365Rather than banning an image we can use an existing report and ask the mods to categorize whatever the living fuck the OP posted as an incredibly poor post.
>>41028045There, there, there, you need to accept that the cold, horrendous arms of death are going to get you sooner than you think and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.Just accept your death, it will be the only good thing you will ever do for other people anyway.
>>41027928https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/autism-why-do-many-autistic-people-die-before-the-age-of-40-a6937911.html
>>41026273I watched G1, G1.5, some of G3, G4 and G5 as well some other movies not related to MLP like Ico the brave little horse, Spirit and The Last Unicorn and I have enjoyed it all. If you know any other pony or horse related cartoons give em to meh.
>>41028587I feel like I should've known that.
>>41028602It's never too late to learn something new!
>>41026273plushiefag, i fell in love with pinkie in S1 and now the rest doesnt matter because i hug ponk plush everyday like we're married
>>41026273>>41026666Kill yourself.
>>41028587So apparently it's mostly cause autists kill themselves much more often than normalfags. You make it sound like autism magically makes someone drop dead before 40, kek.
>>41028666Not him but a normal cause of death among autists is a seizure or massive organ failure caused by the cummulative effect or their medication, which happens around forty as well.Autism medication is really bad for the kidneys and liver, and a well known side effect of mood stabilizers is an increased apetite, which is why the average autist is overweight and suffering of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, type b diabetes and artery blockage as they can't ever stop eating.
>>41026273I'm a brony pony.
>>41028666>>41028679The average cause of death for autists is epilepsy or stroke.People on the Aspergers sub spectrum are the ones who are most likely to kill themselves after spending a lifetime yammering about how they are always depressed but never do anything about it despite everyone trying to help them out.At the end of the day, autists and asperger suffering people die because of consequences created by their own voluntary choices- a complete refusal to take proper care of themselves, as they never want to exercise, eath healthy, take proper care of themselves and refuse to break self destructive habits, so there's no way to save a person who refuses to be saved in the first place.
>>41026365That's what I've been saying. Making this the OP image should result in an autoban. Preferably longer than 3 days so this SAME couple assholes get the point and decide its not worth the trouble.
>>41028696>because of consequences created by their own voluntary choicesI hate normies for spamming this because even if you're right you sound like a pretentious faggot. Generic you, I don't mean you in particular, anon.
>>41028714See >>41028360
>>41028714>Doesn't explain why the chart is wrong
>>41026273Chartfag please just move on already. Everyone knows how the show declined toward the end, any series that lasts more then two seasons does this, just for the love of luna please move on and bring something new and interesting to the board.
>>41028716You simply do not want to accept that your life is bad because you were the one who made it that way, man.Denial and blame shifting are two of the most tiresome parts about handling autists.
>>41026365>>41027221>>41028360>>41027246>>41028756Genuinely what's wrong with the chart? As a /co/fag who boarded the friendship express around the time the Gala was airing, I can agree with almost everything on there.
>>41028756Chartfag admited years ago (yeah, he has wasted 2 years on this) that he is autist, anon.You cannot reason with him because he either do not want to be reasonable or simply is not lucid enough to be reasoned with.
>>41028768It's not a matter of the chart being right or wrong. It's fucking tiring. It's been discussed and picked to death years ago, and for a long time gets forcefully crammed into any board discussion about anything regarding late series issues. It's not even like it can just be avoided by staying out of threads which have it, shit gets pushed into other people's threads quite a bit.If charfag insists on charting then he should go do some charts for BarbiEQG or G1/G3/G5 stuff, at least he'd be bringing something new to the table.
>>41028777>at least he'd be bringing something new to the table.Chartfag refuses to do anything but spamming his useless chart, anon. He's autist, he is only doing what you would expect from a sick person.
>>41028768Spam was originally the name of canned pork.
>>41028777This.>>41028794Post the following and let then slide the thread.S1&2 > S3 > S4-7 > S8&9This one line encompasses and accomplishes everything he attempts to elaborate on.
>>41028824Again, chartanon is a sick person. You cannot reason with a sick man who neither can or wants to be reasoned with.
>>41028837That's why >>41027246 is a sensible thing to do. Report the chart for "extremely low quality" and ask Twimod if he'll make it a whole day ban. While I disagree calling someone sick but I do think making it impossible for autists to continue is the best option.tl;dr - ask the mods to make this instance of wall of text a bannable offense for 24 hours
>>41028714keep dreaming wannabe
>>41028927>While I disagree calling someone sickAnon, autism IS a mental sickness. You do not need to take medication at a daily basis for the rest of your life unless you are sick and abnormal. You cannot suspend your medication and pretend to have a normal life when you are sick.Stop trying to normalize autism by trying to pretend it's not a sickness. Fat, ugly people tried to normalize, then force acceptance of obesity and uglyness a decade ago and look where that took them.If you want to solve a problem the first step is accept that there's a problem in the first place and then you call it by it's name.
Season 3 is dogshit and I'm tired of everyone pretending otherwiseWorst season outside of s8 & 9
>>41028927>show discussion is "extremely low quality"
>>41027327>>41027542Glimmerfriends are an absolute treasure.
>>41028824>S1&2 > S3 > S4-7 > S8&9This take disagrees with the chart, the chart says that S1-4 > S5 > S6&7 > S8&9
>>41028824>>41029065The real tiers are s5,6,7 > s2,8,9 > s1,3,4
>>41029032>Glimmertards are an absolute trashure.
opinions on seasons? that dogshit doesnt matter. all that matters is slinging lifesize plushies at ponycons for a qt gf
>>41029222There are actual mares at ponycons? And they love plushies? Holy shit.
>Chart anon can't control his autism and keeps trying to derail the thread so the bad comments could just go away
>>41029231believe and you will find an autism as deep as your own
>>41028988>autism IS a mental sickness.Low functioning autism is, high functioning autism is not.
>>41029239It's called "schizophrenia", anon. A mental disorder characterized by reoccurring episodes of psychosis that are correlated with a general misperception of reality. Other common signs include hallucinations (typically hearing voices), delusions (i.e., paranoia), disorganized thinking, social withdrawal, and flat affect. Symptoms develop gradually and typically begin during young adulthood and are never resolved.
>>41029248>First stage: denial
>>41029248It IS mental sickness, like it or not. Otherwise it wouldn't have needed to get a category and medical diagnosis of it's own.
>>41028718Whatever works>>41028731Didn't say it was. I rather agree with the severe decline and even found enjoyment in early mid seasons. The chart aligns perfectly with the other line graph showing a sharp decline after Season 4, which also corresponds to my personal experience as I initially dropped the show after Season 4. I'm just tired of seeing the same shit over and over again. It's straight up spam at this point.>>41028756This>>41028777Trips of truth.>>41028955>flaggotFind a less autistic sperg waifu retard
>>41027401>>41027327>>41027456>>41027542I'll admit I stopped watching after Twilicorn happened, but I started rewatching the show recently. I really like GlimGlam. I don't really watch seasons 6 and 7, but I'll jump around to see any episodes involving her, she's a great character.
In case our resident spammer tries to refute some facts, here's a page that lists the side effects of autism medication, which DO include the increase of a chance for seizures.https://autism.org/adverse-drug-reactions/And yes, the most frequent autism medications such as Paxil, Ritalin, Risperdal and Prozac are in this deadly list as well.
>>41029415>I really like GlimGlam.
>>41029029>the chart
>>41029423Unironically what reason is there not to like her? Post-reformation she's one of the most human characters. She has to deal with people constantly bringing up her past, has to learn how to control her anger, has to learn how to lead without being a cult leader, etc. She's had a ton of character growth, that I've seen so far. Also she's now an ex-communist, so that makes her even better.
>>41029439>Still trying to play dumb
>>41029462Bro I haven't been involved with MLP since like 2015. I stopped watching it around the time season 3 ended cause I thought Twiicorn was stupid. I only just started watching some episodes because I heard Startlight Glimmer was a really good character. I'm not playing dumb. I legit have no idea what you're talking about.
>>41029472>Still tries to pretend he's not evil and petty to the core
>>41029439The reason why people don't like her is because her "character growth" is artificial and undeserved. There was no build up to her redemption during the whole of season 5, and after said redemption it's like the writers couldn't write past a third-grade level. The way characters speak and act are how a child would write their idea of complex characters.
>>41029474Her character is a reformed villian, ex-communist you moron. Her whole shtick is she thinks communism is shit now. I was never a communist, but seeing one realize how shit their ideology is is always a good thing.
>>41029485Bro, just give up. No matter what you might say to him, he will keep saying he doesn't understand why you don't like his shitty waifu or that he's not doing anything bad.He's not here to talk or discuss anything, he's here because he loves to be an asshole, period.
>>41029485>The reason why people don't like her is because her "character growth" is artificial and undeserved. There was no build up to her redemption during the whole of season 5, and after said redemption it's like the writers couldn't write past a third-grade level.

>>41029492SheIsShit
>>41029495Are you retarded? When the other guy actually explained his points in an understandable way I replied and understood where he was coming from, you posted a couple of meme greentexts. > or that he's not doing anything badwtf does this even mean, you stupid nigger?
>>41029505>Still keeps trying to cause damage and play victimDude, you can't turn 40 fast enough.
>>41029506Nigger
>>41029507But not a Glimmertard.
>>41029485This. Glimmer's character is the very definition of melodramatic faux characterization. All about looking like a 'deep' character without anything to actually make her so.
>>41029585She destroyed the series' balance and the easiest way to spot a troll is by checking who still tries to say she was a good addition to the series.Good addition, yeah right. Every time she was on screen everyone else was written like a tard just to make her look better than the rest, and if a character needs that to look good it means it was never good to begin with.
>>41029485That's pretty much the same reason anyone hates any other character.
>>41029637And yets glimmertards refuse to accept what it applies to their waifu.
>>41028059Bland taste
>>41028059conzoomer
>>41029349>no-genBe a sperg somewhere else,racist newfag.
>>41029713Your lack of self awareness is staggering.
>>41029744your slanderous malding is showing.
>>41029439I agree. Starlight's journey to overcoming all of her demons is very endearing. She really does feel the most human with the kind of problems she faces; the way she battles with anxiety, her coping mechanisms, her struggles feel real and natural. I can't help but root for her. She's a great character and the best part of the late seasons by far.As you can see, the Glimmerhaters here are a... "special" kind of breed to put it lightly. You won't find honest discussion with them.
>>41029422Is Twilight Sparkle autistic?
All me
>>41029713Aw, it thinks the insult 'racist' has any power anymore - especially here of all places.>>41029895If anyone is malding it's you for being called out as a flaggot. Couldn't even use anything original. You just said what I said when I called your waifu a sperg. Get off the board. Get help. And don't throw around 'newfag'. You genuinely don't know who you may be talking to and you look even more like a clown.
>>41026273Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep was the last episode of the good part of the show.There were quite a few decent episodes in season 7, but they still felt very different than the earlier seasons. I can't put my finger on it.Maybe it's just the hiatus that began my downward spiral away from the fandom.Obviously, I can't exactly say that I'm fully free from the show. I'm even thinking of watching the whole show over again in French to help my learning.Also, my brother got into the show at around that point, so maybe it's just a personal thing. Maybe it was just better knowing that I had no one to talk to about the show other than myself.
>>41029713Why is it only redditors who call others esl's and then proceed to call you a racist for using normie words?
>>41026273Seasons 1-7 are great, with Seasons 3 and 6 being somewhat wonky, but still okay.8 and 9 are practically non-canon.
>>41031036>redditorsYou answered your own question.
>>41026273Unpopular take but IMO S4 should not be grouped in with S3. 4 is far worse than 3, with 5 and 6 being significant improvements (although still not nearly as good as 1-2). I'd take 5-7's aimlessness over 4's abhorrent lore fuckery and total waste of potentially great payoffs like Dash joining the Wonderbolts, Twilight becoming a princess, showing Nightmare Moon's and Discord's imprisonments, all done in the most generic way possible. Sure we got a couple good minor characters like Maud and Coco out of it but overall 4 was the one that made sure the show stagnated instead of moving forward. 8 and 9 are pointless and unnecessary but 4 did the most damage. And at least 3 tried to move things in a good forward direction, despite being rushed as fuck, it's still way better than 4.
