Throw away entirely one story for another? Throw away elements of harmony of SOME bloody randomly thought up tree in butt quark in middle of a evil forest? It is like a equal of Legend of Zelda here, Throw master sword out in middle of lost woods, need 3 Cutiemarks Pendants of Virtue for the master sword then 6 keystones from 6 maidens to unlock a evil seal then again you need to find 6 more key items to get to the Triforce and final boss.
Oh wait, I am rambling here. My Little Pony: Legend of the 6 Keys.
Not to say over-usage of the word "Friendship" or phrase "magic of Friendship". It is like some cliche now that has no more meaning or purpose. It is only used as a pick-me-up line to plug script plot holes. Not to say how Zecora is like so magically able to find solution to everything.
Show has no meaning anymore. Just bunch of forced humor and action plots that have no purpose.
I gave a fair chance, but well its the same but worse now. So I guess I will not bother with the show anymore like normal. Just will remember the way I want it, the reasonable way.
They needed to go anyways, before they turn into a terrible trope by themselves. It will be refreshing to see how issues are dealt with without the not-so-orbital friendship cannon.

It was far far to rushed done, I easy saw that. What are they to do now, make 4 episodes per key for entire Season 4? I know not, but they have a empty plot-line now with just a box and keys and a abused character called Discord that I still really rather wanted to not existed back.
Most issue were dealt without elements apparently anyway, so not sure reason for that one.
Not every episode needs to be - or has been hinted to be - directly relevant to a key quest at all, in much the same way Season 1 wasn't a giant preparation for the Grand Galloping Gala. The slice-of-life formula is likely to continue with the Mystery Box of Plot Importance threaded lightly into the background, perhaps dancing out now and then to knit the season closer together and to give a sense of continuity.
We got 26 episodes again this time around. We got plenty of time. And the magical cure-all is finally gone and we're not facing the threat of every conflict being ended in the same fashion over and over with the elements doing their rainbow thing. Even if they were taken out initially to make way for Cadence and to give attention to her: they were becoming dead weight.

That doesn't even make sense. If anything, this is giving the show meaning. We're getting some kind of over-arching plot structure now, with new goals to reach. They put to rest a long-established and used piece of the show for new, hopefully grander opportunities. I agree that the execution could have been better (seriously, a magical tree and plant-chest?), but the result is still exactly that. Would you rather this show continue trotting in its own shadow, or grow to new horizons?
This is one thing I can respect the show for, that it is willing to grow and allow things to develop and change. Too many cartoons wallow in the 'each episode is its own' foundation, where after something big happens there's a reset before the next episode happens.

I was extremely hesitant about putting my thoughts here for fear of rejection.
I cannot explain how I see it, so I will not try. Take how you read it, but I know and understand my own reasons and points.
So, I realized something just now about the premiere...
Forgive me if this was obvious to anyone else. I worry I'll look like an idiot, but...
Discord. Discord was helping them! He played innocent (perhaps in the face of their harsh accusations, or not), knowing they'd head into the woods, and he even mocked Twilight to go back to help her friends when she returned to Ponyville. If Discord had simply told them that there was a Tree of Harmony in the forest, they wouldn't have believed him. They'd interpret this as a ploy for him to take the EoH from them. Any other story would appear suspicious to them as well.
His comment of, "What, and let you miss out on such a valuable lesson?" (paraphrasing, can't remember his exact wording) was an entirely genuine statement. He meant it. Help helped them, just in his own mischievous way, and none of them even noticed.
You have a strange way of defining rejection. Also, "I understand my own thoughts and reasons," does not at all function as a response, but whatever.
Because normally only those who know me well, as in extremely well, can understand where I come from and why. But such is not a place, so I did not expect no one to really understand that. However that is fine and I leave it like that.
Thread here, is rather deadish now a days, so I kinda just posted my personal thoughts to give more life/activity.
I hope scoots gets her cutie mark in episode 5, they need some development or progression or something....I know they're the cutie mark crusaders and all, but it gets boring if that's all they do....they need to grow too.
So I was working on this really cool resource pack a while ago, but bad progress nonwithstanding, I think I found something much better... I'm probably gonna never release another custom Minecraft map.Until we meet again...
No, the "Derpy Incident" is a prime example why you don't give a fandom any form of service. They like a character, name a character, then DIFFIDENTLY DON'T canon add the character they (the fandom) named/created and gave details to the show.
But no, if they do, it will be no named and no walled (derp) eyed same colored Pegasus (as saw in remake of that one episode that started the incident). She was erased canon level. Is but now mostly fandom level, as were before.
Granted this "Orange Box" is not already a Derpy, just after some strange color correction to accommodate for her location on the set and the time it took place at.
What, what is this even?

Wow. Talk about a great use of a character.

I've known its religious glory since day 1. I have recognized the true God. It is Canura Mazda the Cane of Twilight!

First it was The Hub.
and now it's the BBC.
