How would you improve S8 and S9 to not to be the worst seasons in MLP:FIM's history?
>>
Kill off Starlight. Creature characters are killed off and their homelands destroyed by the M6 or villain attacks.
>>
>>43223749
Don’t turn the heroes into FUCKING CHILD MURDERERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU, JOSH HABER!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK YOU, MIKE VOGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST… FUCK OF YOU PIECES OF SHIT FOR RUINING THE GODDAMN SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>43223753
Don’t kill off Starlight. The rest is good.
>>
>>43223749
Throw the creaturas into the trash, make the seasons focus on kirins and the School's background cutie patooties. The actual good stuff about them, you know.
>>
>>43223769
Blow up the school, let Cozy Glow win, make her an immortal Goddess of the Multiverse, have her send all the “heroes” of the show to their own personalized eternal Hells. The End.
>>
>>43223776
Nah. Crazy Glue gets reformed with an on-screen spanking. Goat Cell and the roachthot can get (figuratively) fucked, though.

For real? Get a different team of writers. Fire Haber. Buy the property rights to the IP and divorce from Hasbro.
Otherwise?
>no school
>no late season faces
>no petrifying villains
>no cringey Joss Whedon dialogue
>keep >90% of characters ponies
>no fucking unicorn laser beam battles
>don't have Celestia and Luna abdicate
>don't let "friendship" become a religion
>have antagonists be more nuanced than "I'm a jerk for no reason"
>have Applejack episodes that aren't "I'm a dumb hick who don't know nothin"
>have Fluttershy be anything in between a total bitch and a doormat
>don't have Rarity say "darling" every other sentence
>make Pinkie less loud and obnoxious and more playful and silly again
>make Twilight sassy and irritable again
>give Rainbow Dash ANYTHING other than Wonderbolts + Daring Do
>fix episode pacing
>stop relying on callbacks to better episodes
>bring back the old background style
>DON'T use ANY 3/4 angles of Princess Celestia showing both of her eyes
I really mean that last one. Celestia's facial design was only meant to be viewed from the side (one-eyed) or front-on.

Mail Haber a very spicy rock right before he starts working on S8

She’s innocent. She’s perfect. She did nothing wrong. She’s my Goddess. I love her. She’s my everything.

These are all good. And most of them would naturally flow out of firing the evil fucking hacks.

Seriously, I was ranting like crazy about how horrible they are at NeighCon. It felt good to get it out vocally instead of just in text, but I could literally go on about it FOREVER.

>>43223810
Crazy Glue should be rape corrected by Anon's HMD.
>>
>>43223795
>>43223810
I forgot to add
>Total Yak Death
to the list. They do nothing but act like total niggers from the first minute they appear on screen. They seriously manage to be the worst non-pony creatures somehow, which is a monumental achievement when they're up against the diamond dogs, dragon teenagers, and faggotbugs, not to mention all the memeworthy uninspired non-sentient monsters that get thrown in everywhere.
>>
>>43223815
Nope.

>>43223817
Yaks fucking suck.

I don't know about not being the worst seasons. I would need to dig through each of the seasons to really piece that all together, and frankly the changes would probably need to start in season 3.

I think the easiest change would be giving the petrification of Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Chrysalis some justification. A reason why they can't be reformed, at least not then. It shouldn't be too hard. They're all pretty terrible.

Season 8 is definitely the worst season but I think Season 9 is actually above the seventh season (the three of them are bad though). So I'll focus my suggestions on season 8, but some of this apply to the other Haber seasons as well.
First, the friendship school should be a normal school since the mere concept of teaching friendship as an academic subject practically goes against the reason why Twilight had to move to Ponyville.
Second, reduce Starlight and the Student Six's existence to the bare minimum, or downright remove them. Then focus on older characters people like yet never got enough attention by the writers (Braeburn, Soarin, Coco Pommel, Babs Seed, Tiara, etc). If the voice actor has retired, get a new one.
Third, avoid glittery backgrounds, they are ugly and obnoxious to look at.
Fourth, keep it fun and original. The first seasons were filled with diverse shots, beautiful scenery and great composition. Despite Flash's limitations, FiM did a great job at extracting juice out of every single asset it had. Now they have way more of those and everything looks and feels the same.
Fifth, DO NOT make them repeat basic lessons as "Lying is wrong", try for something more nuanced in terms of relationships. It doesn't have to be complex, something like Sounds of Silence is a nice example of nuance in a lesson.
Sixth, avoid this stupid crap of "I have a sad backstory so I can't get punished for my crimes", it is stupid and lame and a downright terrible lesson in general.
Seventh, no writer-speak. I was rolling my eyes every time a character got used as a mouth for the writer's own opinions because not even their parents want to know what they think.
Eighth, get back ANYONE from the old staff to supervise the nu-staff (preferably Rogers, as I think Larson was busy story editing for DC Superhero Girls at the time)
Ninth, put Haber and Vogel into the femur breaker.
