Friendship is Magic is ending... the rant.

Eeyup! MLP: FIM is coming to an end and it's about damn time! The ninth season will be the final one and will be starting this April. Well shoot that means that I still need to finish season 8. Being brutally honest it's being really really hard to watch season 8 for me.

The Friendship school and the focus on non Pony characters has actually turned me off from the show. Not to mention the horribly horribly bad character that is Starlight Glimmer once again taking the focus of the show.  then we have that the quality of the episodes has been going downhill for quite some time I would blame Starlight Glimmer for that. Well to be fair it's not just the epic failure that is Starlight Glimmer it's the effort to replace Twilight Sparkle.

The show was going stale... ever since Season 5, the show had been going downhill. At first I chalked it up to my pain regarding my Mom's death, but  half of the season was around when my Mom was alive and seemingly well. Then Season 6 brought forth my main problem: Starlight Glimmer.
I mean from dictator who ruled a town with an Iron Hoof to basically unravelling reality MULTIPLE TIMES just to prove her magical superiority over THE ELEMENT OF MAGIC... as in the living embodiment of Magic. Then all of a sudden she's a good mare and is being shoced down our throats more than Roman Reigns in the WWE. She even outsnarted Starswirl the Bearded.
Manufactured tragic past, everyone around her loves her, suoer skilled at something that outmatches characters that are insanely powerful in that area. Not going to call her a marey sue, but even Rey, Bella, and Carl Manvers feel she's waay too OP.

Ms. Sheridan gives amazing performances as Starlight, but the character is horribly written and is being forced to fit in with the plot in a worse way than Danvers is being shoved in the Avengers...

195 episodes (up to s8)... that is LITERALLY 3 series long... Most Western TV series are made with the 65 episode syndication goal. A vestige of the  era befire specialized networks with children's programming. Once FIM is over they could show the series one last time once a week and they'll have plenty to show for nearly 4 years (up to S8) without having to do repeats. Or nearly an entire year if they go 5 days a week.

Besides, it's  better to go in an OK note, than becoming a putrid shell of what it used to be... not going to say any names...






Wait...
I am saying farewell to equines... NO SPIKE! DON'T YOU DARE...
