It’s not the last episode that was the problem, it was the two episodes before it.

Wait, people don’t like the last problem????

nah

I’m 100% on board and agree with Starlight.
 
A decade of friendship and it end well.

Too bad it was too short.

Better than another certain series…  
Good enough for MLP, and that is a lot better than children cartoons usually get.

Yes. It is.

I liked the episode as a what happened next story, but the lesson about still being friends despite being apart felt a bit pointless when you consider the pillars. It was shown that despite them going off and doing their own things in the world they were still close friends.

I always considered the episode with the villains as the finale and “The Last Problem” as an epilogue.

@Derpyfan  
That is a legitimate argument it is sort of not a series finale as much as its an epilogue

It’s not the finale, it’s the epilogue.

[CHANGE MY MIND]  
Why?

I liked it

You’ve never became an alicorn.

It’s alright.

Stop acting like children in the tags.

It’s clear they didn’t have the time/budget if you look at the second half of GUIHTD. Spur is a lazy design and there’s a ton of animation errors, the animation quality takes a sharp downturn about 10 minutes into the episode. Also, it wouldn’t surprise me if The Last Problem was one of the first S9 episodes to be animated (The fact only Wind Sprint and Clear Sky are there suggest they were the only S9 characters besides Grogar who had been made at the time, or at least that Spur and Biscuit didn’t settle on their final designs until June 20…)

I agree. Get over it everyone.

Whatever, I’m not even gonna discuss this.

None of that happened in the last problem. It technically may have been a 3 part finale but the episode itself was not a 3 parter

it’s actually true. It’s in the end, so it’s the last problem you face.

Grogar wasn’t the main villain. He was just discord in disguise. Discord did not get turned into stone. The three other villains weren’t even allowed to redeem themselves and were killed off.

The whole thing felt cheap production-wise. From the flagrantly reused assets, to reusing an Equestria Girls song as the final song of the show. If they didn’t have the time or budget to make the unique assets they needed, I’d have rather they hadn’t bothered with an epilogue at all.

How and why?
