Was this the post faust writers giving the middle finger to the peak that was S1-S2?
>>42614830Yes. The Owl even flew away never to be seen again. For me, it was that part.
>>42614830I see it more as the show saying "This is new MLP:FIM" especially after Twialicorn. No more good slice of life.
>>42614830They couldn't make anything of the same quality, so they had to defile and degrade it. It's the same thing that happened to Star Wars and Star Trek.
>>42614830I think that's giving them too much credit. Maybe they just wanted to sell Twilight Castle toys.
The show didn't die due to a single action but was torn apart piece by piece.>Faust leaving at the wedding>Twilight getting wings>The treehouse is destroyed>Friendship map>Poochie becomes mane character>Spike gets wings>Friendship school is established>Creature 6
>see emotional scene that's meant to stir emotions and express how high the stakes are during a dramatic finale>WAS THIS MADE TO SPITE AND ATTACK ME PERSONALLY AND ALSO LAUREN FAUST?!?!?
>>42615422>feeling of loss is irrelevant since shitty crystal castle immediately grows in its place >Twilight’s loss of the treehouse is “middling”, only cries once her friends dig up the roots to hang as a chandelier >Owlicious never appears again because ??? Twilight isn’t seen having feelings for him
>>42614833i want to argue but i can't think of any instances where owlolicious showed up again
>>42615539Just checked the wiki, he's in a couple season five episodes and then basically gone from the rest of the series.
>>42614830no, it was the writers trying to sell the audience a new gaudy crystal castle playset.
>>42615428>>42615539past season 5 the owl only shows up in pictures. thats even less than applehorses dog winona, which I was surprised by because I have a lot more memories of owl, I've always associated winona with the casual dissapearance jutsu. in fact it seems that the writers only liked opalescence, gummy, and tank
>>42615549Well? Did you buy the gaudy crystal castle playset as Hasbro intended?
>>42615557I'm almost certain that the reason for pets disappearing was because the few episodes they had writers watch to 'know the characters' happened to not include those pets.
>>42615571Inspiration Manifestation heavely featured the owl and that was a reference episode for Spike.
>>42615571Yep. It's also the reason why there are so many plotholes like Princess Celestia having a nephew that vanishes after S1 because writers despite writing for the show won't actually binge watch the show. Grim.
>pets join the ranks of written-off tv charactersThey're..*sob*...they're in a better place, you guys..They're with Richie from Happy Day's brother, Chuck..they're with Mulder!THEY'RE WITH THE ANGELS, BROS
>>42615580Well then I guess they just didn't like Owlowiscious. Which to be fair I also don't like the owl but that's just me.
>>42615584There just isn't really a place for the owl, when Twilight not only already had Spike to bounce off of at her home, but after S5, there is also Starlight, who lives there, so there is even less of a reason for that bird to exist.
>>42615591Starlight Glimmer should've had a sexual relationship with Owlowiscious.
>>42615582Beyond even that they refused to use the show bible. IIIRC it was Haber (I think) who literally claimed that there was none.
>>42614830Was it? Looks like a fun anime trope to go along with the dbz. Based if true though because s5-6 are the best seasons.
>>42615405faust leaving was the first domino, all the worst parts of mlp came to be because faust wasn't there to give direction and uphold her vision, she really just understood it like no one else really did.I do wonder though, if faust had stayed, if the show would have gone to shit eventually in another way.
>>42615867>gone to shit in another wayLikely when Discofam got put under new ownership.
>>42614830>>42614848>>42615549I' never really understood why people love to blame the writers when most of the time they're forced to write around whatever toy Hasbro wants to advertise. Like do you really think they would've had Twilight's treehouse blow up if not for the fact that Hasbro wanted to sell a new castle playset and it needed to be worked into the show somehow?
>>42616635Jim (who else?) openly admitted that Hasbro told the nu-staff staff to add a new castle, but it was the staff's own idea to destroy the treehouse and make the horrible castle a permanent addition to the show.
>>42616711Yeah, they could've just as easily had it be a one-episode thing where, in celebration of Twilight's accomplishments, she now has a castle in Canterlot that she can go to and that we see once a season at most.
>>42616635even Larson said many times that he was frustrated that Hasbro wouldn't budge on making MMC a two parter and struggled with making it make sense or fitting in a 22 minute time span. Hasbro systematically killed this show because they are retarded
>>42616724Before of that, the previous staff tried to use, explore and even restore the old royal sister's castle but once Jim and company took over, that plotline got axed for good and the old castle was never used again.Imagine if the old castle had received the crystal treatment instead.
>>42616734>even Larson said many timesLarson also said that the new staff was extremely incompetent and most of times the writers and direction staff had zero idea about what to do with the series.The reason why Spike was rarely used and never got any developement at all was because according to Larson, the character was "too difficult" for the nu writers and direction staff.
>>42615422Came here to say this. If her new playset was a comfy hole in the ground and season 5 had decent writing, there would be absolutely no butthurt about the tree blowing up at all.
>>42616735This. I really liked the tiny bits of exploration of the old castle through S4. Sadly it got replaced with that shitty toy castle in Ponyville.
>>42616735>Imagine if the old castle had received the crystal treatment instead.I'd rather not.
>>42615571>I'm almost certain that the reason for pets disappearing was because the few episodes they had writers watch to 'know the characters' happened to not include those pets.Or perhaps the pets are a fucking stupid addition to sell toys and useless from a narrative perspective?
>>42615557>it seems that the writers only liked opalescence, gummy, and tankangel had an entire episode in season 9, what did opal ever get?
>>42617272faustfags crying about pets not having more episodes wasted on them is funny af.
There should have been a scene with Twilight, Spike, Starlight, Owlowiscious, and Peewee sucking each other off.
>>42614830I don't think it was done with malice. Like Disney killing off the original star wars cast was not because they hated them. It's because they wanted to replace them. The nuwriters didn't t know what to do with the mane6 and said as much in a post ending babscon interview. >getting rid of a husband so you can dateOk. Maybe they did hate Faust's pony.
>>42614830I would have been fine with this is the castle was a bigger tree library instead.
>>42617260It would beat it being in the middle of ponyville as a giant ugly middle finger
>>42617681I don't want episodes but how about they exist?
>>42615582Kid, the show for little girls had minimal presence of male characters in general, because the target audience is interested in fellow females and thinks males are gross. Of course they're not going to give tons of screentime and attention to "haha prince charming is actually a douche". This is the same nonsense logic that anons use to justify their weird femdom fantasies.>>42616735>the old castle was never used again.It suffered a far worse fate, anon. Check the last two seasons. They gave the castle of the two sisters to CREATURES who somehow had their own crystal castle grow out of the ground.
>>42617760They exist, but no one cares about them existing.>but what about Celestia's random relatives that had no impact on governance for the last 1000 years???>NEVAR FORGET TWIST!!!>that buffalo bitch i forgot the name of
>>42617958>comparing pets to more fun secondariesYou're that mane6 only and Twilight deserves half the spotlight fag, aren't you?
>>42617958seething faggot
>>42617781>spoilerWhich they then never used again except for Yona to be depressed there one time.
>>42619053I'm not the one seething at your forgettable OCs getting ignored. I'm happy the writers didn't waste any more time on them.
>42619071Thanks for confirming you're a faggot who never watched the show. KYS.
>>42614830Yep, Faustards are still pathetic.
>42619783low quality bait
>>42614830Hasbro wanted big Dragon Ball Z fight with a big hit to the feels. Made a new tree grow, which could've been in the same vein as Golden Oaks, but instead was crystalline and shiny because shiny = 'good'.
>>42616724>Twilight could've had a castle in Canterlot.That would've made more sense.
The usual contrarian autist is still trying to cause trouble for his sick version of "fun".Imagine growing old and still behaving like an asshole kid.
