The Mane 6 forgiving a main villain instead of REVENGE 17 LIFE SENTENCE 5 LETHAL INJECTIONS 10 DECADES OF FAMILY SHAMING,Twilight being a princess that do things and shoot lasers to complete monsters (Tirek),conflict taking more than the old tricks in the books to be resolved (Hoofields and McColts)  
The innovation/quality you seek is not exclusive to the Faust era like you seem to imply  
Also  
>Fluttershy still being a substandard flier after that training montage in “Hurricane Fluttershy”  
Funny but that argument is also brought up to complain about the lack of character development of Fluttershy,you cant have your cake and ate it too

@Background Pony #A5C9  
I think the other BP was talking about subverting clichés such as making Rarity into a real character with depth instead of a generic shallow fashonista; the mane 6 actually aggravating the tensions in Appleloosa instead of resolving them in “Over a Barrel”; “The Best Night Ever” being anything but, at least as far as the GGG was concerned; Fluttershy still being a substandard flier after that training montage in “Hurricane Fluttershy”; etc.

@The Smiling Pony  
what did this guy do?  
(Formerly) Head of Story Development and Executive Director of Scripted Development at Hasbro according to ZoomInfo, fan of boxer shorts according to his Twitter.
 
…Dang, how often does someone with titles like “Head of…” and Executive Director of…” have to go to freakin’ orientation at his new job without a sentencing trial being involved?

Wait a minute,i just realised,since when MLP was about subversion? If i remember correctly,what attracted people in the first place was the sincerity(an article even talked about “new sincerity),a far cry from the “lol we so innovative we parody tropes” overdose.Alas,sincerity cant survive in a fandom invaded by misanthropic contrarians (or the Internet in general)

@Background Pony #2B97  
Implying playing things straight is a bad thing.I for one is sick of all the “post-modern” irony and “lel we dont take ourselves seriously” attitude that have invaded pop culture.Give me escapism,subversion is the new cliché

Oh. Meghan’s the Creative Director there, right? Did she move up again?

@The Smiling Pony  
Executive Director of Hasbro Studios

@The Smiling Pony  
Some big position at Hasbro Studios.

I’m way out of the loop; what did this guy do?

@Background Pony #B379  
Yeah, he’s gonna need to do his best for a teen drama…why couldn’t he get hired to some other Disney channel like Disney Channel or Disney XD?

Here’s wishing him the best in his new position.

@Wiimeiser  
Which is ironic, considering how many of their classic movies are based on properties with lapsed copyrights.
 
Though I’m sure many other companies wish for perpetual copyrights; Disney’s just the one with the most clout.

@A Racist Zebra  
Disney has successfully changed copyright law. If they had their way, copyright would be forever.

@Trahzo  
Oh, and AFV.

This is probably why ABC is only good for Christmas Specials and Charlie Brown.

@JadedGamer  
Or for one of the most wicked companies in the world for that matter.
 
I give Hasbro a hard time, but they’re low-end on the corporate evil list, when compared to Disney.

@Background Pony #2E76  
Tomorrow’s new issue. The credits page has already been posted along with the preview.

@Jarkes  
I am by no means defending Pretty Little Liars. That said, I think My Little Pony has been adopting more cliches these days instead of subverting them.

Why anyone would willingly work on that show is beyond me.

Poor dude, taken by Disney to do something horrible!

@dynamicv  
which comic do you mean?
 
 
Sad to see Disney is stealing all our people

Eww.

Quite a step down considering that Pretty Little Liars is every soap opera cliche in the book.

@dynamicv  
Probably.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Meghan McCarthy taking his spot in the special thanks credits of the latest comic.
