User:Softest Boi/My criticisms of My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic

I'm not sure where else to put this, so I'll put it here. You can ask me about this on my message wall if you want. There aren't in any particular order, but I'll number each reason to look tidy.

With that being said, here are my criticisms of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic:

1.There's very little explanation as to why the main six are the elements of harmony. Why specifically them? I can understand Twilight Sparkle, but for the others... very little explanation given.

2.Animators can be very lazy by adding the exact same background ponies in the background. They aren't supposed to be easily noticed, yes, but I'm fairly sure I can see the exact same pony in the background.

3.Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn wasn't really a bad idea, to be honest, but it felt so sudden and out of the blue. No previous hints to it at all?

4.Sometimes, the only difference between ponies might be cutie marks. I'm sure a lot of that isn't intentional, and it shows that animating can be rather lazy.

5.Too much background ponies share the same design, only difference being palette. I don't mind that sometimes, but other times, it gets very plain and shows that animating again, can be rather lazy.

6.Why does there need to be a new character for everything, then have them almost never appear again? Why not just use a background pony?

7.Too much alicorn animation erorrs. Self-explanatory.

8.Spike's episodes almost all being bad cannot be a coincidence. Do they even try!?

9.How do the elements of harmony work? How do they suddenly stop a villain being evil? Villains usually tend to have a smart plan, but villains just turning evil is really not neccessary.

10.Why are almost all backstories being written in the comics? I'm pretty sure most fans prefer watching stuff over reading stuff.

11.King Sombra is the most mysterious villain. Whatever happened to him?

12.Starlight Glimmer's redemption was seriously rushed. I wouldn't mind if it took even atleast a single episode, but within half a minute!?

13.I don't like how everything can suddenly change to nice and happy to serious and gloomy. It's just an infinite loop.

14.I don't mind character reformations, but I think they're becoming a bit too common.

15.Fluttershy's shyness getting in the way of everything is seriously annoying. It's also a very cheap cop out too.

16.The Cutie Mark Crusaders getting their cutie marks was seriously rushed and overly perfected.

17.Why does there need to be three cutie mark crusaders? Why not just one or two? It seems very coincidental that the sisters of two of the elements of harmony can't get their cutie marks easily.

18.Equestria Girls manages to be more interesting than the show itself. I prefer how there isn't all that constant hugging in it.

19.Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra honestly might as well be the same character, because there are no meaningful differences between the two. Come out of nowehere, and have nothing explained about them. Couldn't get any more clichè than that.

20.I know the background ponies aren't supposed to do much, but a bit of interaction with the main cast wouldn't hurt...

21.There was a location called "Yakyakistan", a parody of Pakistan. Why? Pakistan has a rather poor human rights record. I mean sure, childrens shows often reference places like Egypt, not a great place for human rights either, but why not parody somewhere like Kazakhstan or Tajikistan?

23.There was also Saddle Arabia, a parody of Saudi Arabia, and again, it has poor human rights records, but to a lesser extent.

24.Why does only the main six need to know about friendship in Equestria? I can understand why Twilight Sparkle would be one of them, because Princess Celestia saw potentional in her. What about the other five? Were they chosen from a hat of names or something?

25.There's very little reason as to why some characters get reformed and some don't. I prefer when characters are semi-reformed, so basically, they're not well liked, but the main cast forgives them anyways. Seeing that woulc be nice.

26.Scootaloo is a good character, but I still don't know why we haven't been shown her family. Scootalabuse fanfics are just unholy.

27.Sweetie Belle is also a good character, but I'm sure if three cutie mark crusaders are needed.

28.Apple Bloom is a nice and sweet character. She should be the only cutie mark crusader in my opinion. I'm not saying get rid of the other two, but I don't think they all needed equal attention.

29.Princess Celestia is actually a great character. I aren't sure why she isn't as well liked as Princess Luna.

30.Princess Luna is a nice character, but I think she's a bit overused.

31.Shining Armour is a relatively decent character. Nothing more, nothing less.

32.Princess Cadance is also a good character, not much else to say.

33.Muffins/Derpy isn't a bad character at all, but some fans seem to never shut up about her at all.

34.Lyra Heartstrings is better than Doctor Hooves in my opinion. Enough said.

35.Rainbow Dash is nice, but she ends up becoming a bit too aggressive and haughty at times.

36.Rarity used to be my first favourite character. She isn't bad, but not superb.

37.Pinkie Pie can be a bit too overly excited at times. Nothing much else to be said.

38.Fluttershy is really nice and all, but her shyness can be a bit too excessive. Her episodes can also be a bit forgetable. Not much else to criticse though.

39.Applejack is a severely underrated character who gets too little attention. Not a victim complex, but I hate how she didn't get a lot of attention in season 2. She still remains as my favourite mane 6 member.

40.Twilight Sparkle is a good character. I just feel like some stuff focused on her just a bit too much. Other than that, no criticisms of her. I also like how she became an alicorn.

All in all, this is a fairly decent show that I just overhyped quite a bit too much. I haven't even watched much season 1 episodes even. I rate this show 7/10.
