I actually agree that Reflection, while it IS a huge letdown, isn't THAT bad in itself. It's just different story than usual. I also saw many people who liked it and I can get that. Though as a guy who was around, the preview of it , especially the covers, was very misleading, and we were way too much hyped after the first issue, and the fact that there was that cheeky joke at the end almost taunting us was a hard pill to swallow. I wasn't one of the "complainer" back then tho, I had hopes.
The deer arc had much more flaws, mostly because she failed to represent the deer as empathic characters, even if their design was cool, and also because it changed the everfree lore in a way most people didn't like. Freaking elves.
The bull arc however? That one is almost universally panned. It didn't help that it was the one of the first* alicorn twilight stories . And it decided to "handle" her alicornification *_**IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY THEY COULD HAVE EVER DONE!_*

*edit:my bad that wasn't the first but it was the first to really show the flaws in it, the pirate arc instead handled it pretty well.
