You do realize that there are only about 20 bad episodes, and lauren wrote 2 of them, right? If you don’t think this show is good most of the time, why do you continue to watch it?

@Fighterpilot555  
Sarcasm, guys. Learn it.
 
@detction  
Faust wrote like two episodes, so no. Considering how many stinker episodes the show has produced since then (Owl’s Well, Mare-do-Well, Spike at Your Service, etc., etc.), calling the state of things an improvement is rather absurd. It’s still a mystery to me why Season 2 was so well-received, honestly. Discord and Changelings would be my best guess.
 
The writing in MLP had always hovered between quite interesting and quite awful, the best we could hope for is an episode being inoffensive to the senses - not really a high point of praise.

Haha, no. The show got momentously better after Faust left. She’s great at creating a world and characters, but not at writing them.

@Background Pony #AE5D  
Oh, you’re one of THOSE guys.

@Background Pony #AE5D
 
then why are you still here
 
I, for one, think the show has only improved ever since introducing continuity between episodes and events

@Background Pony #AE5D  
Well, the problem there was that there was no transition between the two Lunas, even if both versions are quite neat in their own ways. So the drama died down when people had time to digest the jarring change.
 
With Twilicorn it’s more like: someone’s put a garbage bag in your living room; at first you get upset, but eventually you get used to it, even if the smell doesn’t go away and, hey, it’s not necessarily a reason to move out.
 
That’s… not comparing Twilight to a garbage bag before anyone offers that piece of libel. She’s cool.

What fanon though?

@rafasilva  
Truth be told, while there was a lot of apprehension leading up to “Luna Eclipsed”, nearly all bronies readily accepted how she was portrayed in that episode. There was actually considerably more drama over Lauren Faust leaving early in S2’s production. But yeah, the fandom has been dying and the show ruined ever since the end of S1, if not earlier.

@Background Pony #5062  
Fanon is basically the “canons” made by the fandom.

daheck is a fanon? anonymous fan? :|

I remember when the fandom was destroyed by Luna not being a shy little pony and when Twilight got her wings.

@Philweasel  

Likewise. I don’t know whether to be happy that I’m ‘in-tune’ with the writers, or annoyed that they didn’t throw a curve-ball. Whatever the case, I still really enjoyed the premiere, especially for the world-building, amongst other things.

Ironicly, all my fanon was confirmed.
 
It’s kinda annoying, because it both spoils plot twists in my story, and makes it look like I’m just ripping off the show.

@mrdoctorderpy  

 
Yeah basically.

@Zharkaer
 
Eh, your comment made it sound as if you were saying that the outside material had to be considered canon,so I argued against it, even now I can’t tell if you’re agreeing with me or mocking me

@Littlecabbit  
Congrats, you embody everything I described  
Also, I never said anything about the comics

@Zharkaer
 
Suggesting that anything outside the cartoon is relevant enough to the cartoon? thus far I’ve seen little in the cartoon that makes either the comics or the books important to the cartoon, thus they can be considered either canon or non-canon by any fan that feels inclined to either until said cartoon makes it irrefutable either way

Really, I like entertaining fanon, even my own. But, I don’t get why anyone should be upset when your assumption/stuff-you-or-someone-else-completely-made-up gets disproven by fact. Like, it’s really just people getting their hopes up for a chance to get them shut down.
 
Maybe, I’m just very accepting of the truth. Or, I am cold for not putting faith in ideals like that.
 
Alicorns aren’t typically born. So, what?
 
That is, assuming that’s the fanon that Flurry destroys? I just don’t get how anything else about her destroys fanon.

not all of us.

The fanon of people who argue about canon but don’t look at anything past the show?

RIP  

Oh, never mind. There’s a stupid description. It’s probably about alicorns not typically being born.

@PonyPon  
I’m sure that this is just more ammo for brony savagery. Not necessarily speaking for the episode.

Eh, not so much.
