I hope the episode isn’t from Season 5, if it is I have a sinking feeling :/ On the 8’s now. Castle Sweet Castle is a nice, well-written ep to see Twilight adjust to her castle, but it just could be even more exciting. For example the song is good but not unforgettable. Princess Twilight...

Where The Apple Lies is an interesting episode to see a conflict with younger Applejack with some decent suspense, although it is awkward that this is the episode where Applejack is supposed to learn not to lie but she then lies a lot in later chronologically episodes like The Last Roundup, so...

Wow Bloom and Gloom was one of the episodes I liked a lot at 9/10, I loved the creepiness of the different dreams and moral of being careful about making sure you put yourself on the right track regarding your jobs such as for self-esteem with good insights into the characters' fears. It wasn't...

I knew Flutter Brutter was never the most popular episode but I enjoyed it, I found Zephyr's antics funny then but not as much in Sparkle's Seven because he acted like he learned about nothing. I was actually going to cut another Pinkie S6 ep in my order but I'm just gonna cut this one instead...

I know some people like this episode and think it has a good moral execution but there are also a lot of people who see it as slow and forced, but I kinda think both the former and the first of the latter two adjectives, Fluttershy learns a very good moral without getting scared or going through...

Re-Mark was going to be my next cut in my strategy, although it was one of the more interchangeable episodes for me too because it is entertaining such as with cool alternate dimensions but Starlight's redemption does not just the episode itself no favors, but her arc as a whole no favors. I...

I actually really liked On Your Marks and it covering the perspective of the CMC after they get their Cutie Marks, it was an 8/10 episode for me. Sure it wasn't the most groundbreaking thing ever but I still have good memories of it 9 years ago. I know Stranger Than Fan Fiction would maybe last...

That would've been my cut after this episode, but I agree on Party Pooped yeah. It does have good parts to its writing because it fleshes out Pinkie a lot more and writes her as a competent character, but that the Yaks act like they do and get no consequences or even have to apologize at all is...

At this point I at least like anything left okay or better, but I’m cutting Pinkie Pie Knows right now as while it does have some energy and it introduces a fun status quo change, the running gag of every character hearing “baby” felt kinda awkward/forced in its execution for me Princess...

Cutie Re-Mark is an episode I really liked originally with a 9/10 but considering Starlight gets no consequences for the scale of what she does I decided to bump it down to a 7 when reordering my rankings. While I still like the episode I won’t find it to be obnoxious if it goes Next up is Pony...

AJ's Day Off was going to be my next cut so my first fully neutral cut is Hooffields and McColts, this episode doesn't get everything wrong as the animation is impressive and colorful even by the show's standards and I remember thinking Twilight and Fluttershy were written well, but the plot...

I thought your opinion on Starlight was more in the mildly but distinctly negative territory instead of strongly disliking her ELTSD was always one of my favorite episodes of S6 but I will admit that Starlight only getting a bit of consequences is the weakest part of it. I can see why someone...

I also remember not liking Appleoosa's Most Wanted because it felt derivative of Bridle Gossip. My next cut maybe I overreacted to it a bit, and would put it less low on rewatch, but I remember not placing it very well in my S1-5 rankings at all. I remember feeling like Canterlot Boutique could...

I originally hated Filli Vanilli just because Pinkie's writing overshadowed anything I liked about it by far, to the point of it being my least favorite episode of S4 and third to last out of the entire first 5 seasons. Now I'm more mixed on it because when I reanalyzed its accuracies to stage...

The last 2/10 episode gone for me is just one of the boring Spike episodes that rehashes other Spike episodes especially Just For Sidekicks. Now we're in the 3-4 territory but I still definitely don't like some coming up outright Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1 Princess Twilight Sparkle -...

It's good that four of the episodes in my bottom 5 for this round are in its bottom 5, but now is the episode I would have switched one of the episodes (28 Pranks Later) out for, What About Discord?. This episode is just completely boring to me as you just see Discord and Twilight's friends...

I knew the last place for this round was probably going to be one of two very poor Rainbow Dash episodes from Season 6, but now I will eliminate a very poor Rainbow Dash episode from Season 4. Seeing how the Wonderbolts are corner-cutters, Rainbow almost betraying her friends the way she does...

Yay my two least favorites this round are the bottom two Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1 Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 2 Castle Mane-ia Daring Don't Flight to the Finish Power Ponies Bats! Rarity Takes Manehattan Pinkie Apple Pie Rainbow Falls Three's a Crowd Pinkie Pride Simple Ways...

Aang: How's the weather today Sokka? Sokka: Looking good, Aang. Shorts YouTubers: GROWING UP IS REALIZING WHAT THIS SCENE MEANT *turns head towards camera dramatically with shocked expression*

Ah, we're back with in my opinion the best list of episodes out of the three rounds, with both the best average season quality and average episode quality. I think that some episodes here are still definitely better than others however. Round 2 Start (Seasons 4-6) Princess Twilight Sparkle -...

Round 2 covering Seasons 4-6 will be posted at 2025-06-10 13:00:00 America/New_York.

Hmm I knew TMPP generally wasn’t going to make the round despite it being one of my favorites but I would have kept Wonderbolts Academy too, that was my sixth preferred choice but that’s what it is. Everything that did make it is excellent As for the Seasons 4-6 round expect an announcement by...

Sonic Rainboom The Return of Harmony Part 1 The Return of Harmony Part 2 Sisterhooves Social A Canterlot Wedding - Part 1 A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 Too Many Pinkie Pies Sleepless in Ponyville Wonderbolts Academy

I feel like I need to change my strategy from my original cut, if my two weakest episodes here accelerate it could cause things to careen out of control in the final round. They're only around #30 even in my S1-5 rankings Sonic Rainboom The Cutie Mark Chronicles The Return of Harmony Part 1 The...

Magic Duel was the weakest episode left other than Dragonshy for me so it going makes sense, I still gave it a 9/10 though Dragonshy Suited For Success Sonic Rainboom The Cutie Mark Chronicles The Return of Harmony Part 1 The Return of Harmony Part 2 Sisterhooves Social Hurricane Fluttershy A...

TBNE was probably going to be my next cut, next up is Party of One; I'm not sure I'd say it's my weakest episode left other than Dragonshy, but because 1. it's already won an elimination game 2. even if it hadn't there are a few other episodes here I like more than it, and 3. it might make it if...

Call of the Cutie using my S1-5 rankings was my 7th preferred pick out of the first three seasons for me (9th favorite without adjusting episodes that had already won), oh well I hate to be calculating but if Dragonshy is an uncontroversial cut then I'm not wasting my moves on it right now for...

There are two episodes distinctly lower than anything else left for me right now (the original higher one being 19 places below anything else in my S1-5 rankings lol) that are the only two 8/10 episodes left. I'll be nice and eliminate which one out of the two my guess is one player here likes...

Hmmm Secret of My Excess was one of the much higher episodes this round, not one of the episodes in my ideal S1-3 Top 5/ideal thread Top 15 but coming fairly close. I felt Just For Sidekicks was a good episode objectively but I didn't enjoy watching it. Then again maybe I would have liked it if...

Swarm of the Century and Dog and Pony Show were right next to each other in my S1-5 rankings lol, with the latter being the exact middle spot of the episodes and the former being one above the exact middle spot. I wasn't about to eliminate those episodes just then but they were coming up so...

Sweet and Elite is a good Rarity episode. I remember that its heart did have moments of impact on me the first time I watched it. However, the other episodes I still remember always liking more and finding more interesting. I like how right now it looks like I really don't like S2 since this is...

Crystal Empire isn't my least favorite two parter out of these three seasons but which one is doesn't have much time left I'll get rid of Ponyville Confidential next, while its edgier/harsher tone is interestingly executed it does make the ponies come across as a bit contradictory that they...

Out of curiosity by this did you mean "things that are more popular"? This is getting a bit harder because anything I'm eliminating from here on out is a 7/10 and falls into the territory of "good just not as much as the other episodes" so I suppose I'll heavily use my 2016 S1-5 rankings in...

I should say as the thread's creator, while it's not a big deal, in general try to stay away from eliminating episodes based on a "these episodes are good/have fans so it's more interesting to eliminate them to shake things up" rationale. I know you were intending that move as one more of a...

Dang the first episode in my preferred S1-3 Top 5 was cut, especially when it was my favorite of those 5 eps and seemed like it had better chances of making it In fairness I remember cutting The Perfect Pear before making the Top 5 for the Seasons 6/7 game despite it being #4 on the list just...

I remember this episode had some okay spectacle regarding the pet competition narrowly keeping me from outright disliking it but I remember finding it to be extremely predictable (gee, which pet will win, it's not like there's a 100% chance it'll be the turtle!) which I might have put aside more...

Four episodes in a row are extremely on one side of the first list, this is gonna be the fifth. Games Ponies Play is an interesting episode to eliminate as I'm gonna nix next the episode blending right in with it in S3, Just For Sidekicks. I gave this episode a 4/10 but it being a different...

Not done with my 4/10s yet though this is my second to last one cut, though the last one kinda is a different case than usual regarding getting that rating I was okay with Apple Family Reunion at least as a 6/10, I remember thinking it was pleasant just not the most memorable. I thought...

Three of my ideal Top 5 episodes for Round 1 are from S2, maybe that's not too surprising because most people agree that it's the best of the first three seasons including myself but still Ironically Owl's Well was going to be my next cut. I remember scanning through early MLP ep elimination...

Out of mild curiosity by "idk what the consensus is" did you mean not knowing the fandom reception or how strongly other people in the thread would agree/disagree with the move While MMC wouldn't have quite been one of my cuts coming up, as I did like the songs on average with "A True True...

I like S1 just not as much as most of the other seasons, except for finding it much better than S8 which I didn't care for. It does have one episode in my ideal Top 5 for this round though, even though that’s the low average number considering 5 episodes for 3 seasons. That's good that Show...

According to my rankings I originally really didn't like A Bird in the Hoof with it being in my S1-5 bottom 10, although I don't remember it very well so I guess that shows both that I could have disliked it even more and that it still doesn't have much going for it. I vaguely remember finding...

I remember originally when I watched the first six episodes but then burning out I found Boast Busters interesting in terms of it being one of the first episodes to focus on Twilight's magic powers but anytime after that I stopped liking it because of its forced writing and awkward treatment of...

Green Isn’t Your Color is the first episode gone that I see as pretty good, and that happened early too. There are other episodes this round I like staggeringly more though at least This round covering Seasons 1-3 probably has the least bad low points out of the three rounds of episodes I'll be...

I hope in Kirby and the Forgotten Land the cutesy mouse character ends up being a good guy like they claimed to be just because that would be more interesting than them being a twist villain at this point in the series
