Passport Clean wrote:The way statements like this and the linked video are delivered kind of veer into "this is objectively true" territory, and it gets under people's skins. I can read "this episode didn't do it for me personally" statements all day, but I bristle when something that brought me joy is compared to excrement. This is a natural response - no one wants to be called a tasteless moron, even indirectly.

Yeah. I didn't mean to imply any objectivity with what I said, and I'm fairly certain they didn't either. I guess it is just how it's said, but it is all opinion.

The pacing in this episode was rather odd. It's like, it felt like one of those season one episodes that was written by people who had more experience cramming a whole episode into only half a show so there's a lot of padding and repetition, but at the same time, I feel like the amount of time it took to resolve the plot was reasonable and significant. Like, it would feel rushed if you were to just straight-up cut it down.

I personally feel that the proliferation of dedicated pony reviewers since the end stretch of season 3 is one of the worst things to have happened to us. It doesn't matter that they sometimes say nice things here and there, they mostly serve as a nit-pick amplification/dissemination service, one that poisons enthusiasm for a piece of entertainment that is, frankly, too lightweight to withstand such scrutiny. Season 1 would never have gotten off the ground if these wall-of-text-and-20 minute review people had been around to squelch its babe-in-the-woods charm.
Fizzbuzz wrote:I didn't watch that video, but did they consider that the Breezies are not from Equestria and are most likely far more suited for living in their home world? Because that's kind of important to think of.

Emphasis on "tolerable". Silverquill is reasonable and entertaining even when I disagree. Bronycurious has recently improved after a spate of "missing the point" andvideos, but remains a writer of seriously skeezy fanfiction with a mild delusion of critical clarity. Digibrony lost all perspective at the beginning of the season and doesn't sound like himself anymore, criticizing things he used to like and defend - In fact I think he's stopped doing videos because too many of his former fans were pointing this out.

I don't think these reviewers are a bad thing overall, but I do see your point. I think that it's proof of how the show is actually growing and evolving. I doubt very many other children's cartoons would have an actual analysis community, which hold it on a higher level, holding greater expectations.
Digi seems to miss the point with essentially everything he's done lately. I'm gonna stop watching his stuff, because everything (pony or not) has me facepalming every time. He seems to take way too much time trying to sound smart without actually taking the time to make sure what he's saying is actually smart.

I've never sought out reviews of the show, outside reading the Round Stable Round Tables. The SFDebris one just came out of nowhere. He normally reviews Sci Fi like Star Trek and Doctor Who. He even comments that at first he blew off the suggestion, thinking someone wanted him to be unsporting and trash a little girls show. Then he did a little background research and decided it's technically fantasy so it counts. I love his other reviews and gave this review a shot, and as I said, it was pretty interesting to see a non-fan's take on the show.

Fluttershy: Has it been an hour already? Oh, my goodness! Time flies when you're making sure little creatures don't feel that you're abandoning them to the cruel world.
Twilight Sparkle: But they're not going to a cruel world, right? They're going home.
Fluttershy: Oh, yes. That's right.
