My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Still that's terrible logic for any character to be in Smash Bros. I'm not sure if you remember, but someone called supermariofan (Who has popped up every now and then, just not as often anymore) pushed for Mickey to be in SSB4 for a long while now just because of the game Epic Mickey.

if i ever make a smash mafia, he's going to be in there as a independant serial killer

Who? Supermariofan or Mickey? xD

mickey

he would have to kill all the other characters to win, so as to prove himself as a worthy smash fighter

It gets even more annoying if they say "This wouldn't have happened if Faust was still directing the show!"

...well actually they have a point there, IMO.

Building hype? Calling a moment from Fluttershy "Simply Smashing" just sounds like a fun teaser :P

Granted the William Anderson post of "Everyone will be satisfied" is a bit condescending perhaps. And impossible all things considered. But noting a favorite character moment like Meghan did is just signs she's having fun. When the staff is having fun, the show's in good hands.

But that's just IT! It's obvious since the beginning that these people are having fun and doing what they think is fun and cute, and I want to join in, but I can't for whatever reason! It feels like something that was put in for fun's sake or something they thought would be a fun idea would usually end up frustrating me, not only because I could TELL it was just thrown in without much thought, but because, well, I'm not feeling the connect. I WISH it would be that easy to have people making a show for fun and have that fun transcend onto it's audience, but sometimes, it just doesn't work for me.

Oh, and FYI, teasers are, by design, made to build hype.

...In other news, Andy Price, artist of some of the MLP comics, talks about Alicorn Twilight and the drama in the fandom:

At least with Alicorn Twilight. No, absolutely not.

Faust once said Twilight's eventual goal was to succeed Celestia. Granted, in the way the show runs. They made Alicorn Twilight so the show continues on after Twilight's has become a Princess. And in Faust's style it would of been saved for the Series Finale. But I actually like that we're continuing on from there.

Honestly, I prefer that Twilight's become a Princess in her own right while Celestia still runs things too.

Also I know you didn't like Canterlot Wedding. But Faust actually did help a bit with Canterlot Wedding and even did things for both Cadence and Shining Armor. Even if Cadence was just going to be a Unicorn originally. So you can't say Canterlot Wedding wouldn't have happened without Faust either.

Also, Faust never thought Rainbow Dash would ever be a good big sister for Scootaloo. Then boom, Sleepless in Ponyville happened. If Faust didn't want what was the result of the end of Sleepless in Ponyville to happen. I wouldn't like it as much. Rainbow's a better character then she ever was now. Faust didn't seem to want Rainbow to go in the direction they're taking her now.

I like Lauren Faust herself, but I wish so many people in the fandom didn't use her as a reason to dislike anything past Season 1/Season 2. The way people defend "Faust's Vision" is like she did every single thing in Season 1. The Animation, The Writing (She did write the first three episodes, even then they're one of the most meh episodes of the series compared to alot of what came after), and more. And absolutely nothing else afterward. It's almost to the point where if you ask them why they think Season 1's still the best the answer is "Lauren Faust. I rest my Case".

You know, the way I see it, as long as the overall quality doesn't go down, I could care less about how directs it. I have a good respect for both Lauren Faust and Craig McCracken, and I think they do a good job on whatever show they direct.

Anyway, on a much more positive note. (Also I know you posted this on Equestria Forums Smashgoom. But I simply must post it here)

This looks like it's going to something that I really wanted for Season 4 :D

Twilight struggling to fly, and Rainbow Dash giving her support. Yeeeeees.

That's why Wander Over Yonder is so good (Craig McCracken's the creator and showrunner, Lauren Faust is co-producer and story editor).

But you know, with the way season 3 turned out, even though it wasn't all bad, I just have to wonder "what if?". What if Lauren didn't leave? What would the show have been like? It sucks regardless that Lauren can't watch the show anymore because "it's not her show" and the characters she created "aren't her characters anymore".

As for the animatic, I DO like it, but it just leaves me wishing that season 3 DIDN'T end with Twilight flying into the distance.

And we will never know. Like I said, I'm pretty much OK with whatever happens or has happened.
