So the creator of the show annoucnes she quits after just 1 season and after just 5 months when Lesson Zero airs everyone says "Yep, everything is fine."

Watching the series for the first time right now, I wonder what everybody thought back then. I think I'm pretty easy to please, I enjoyed season 5 plenty.

why is this design unironically really cute

So the creator of this thread just so happens to post twislide. What are the odds?

>>42360942
*SMACKS* stupid fucking flybots these days.... what even is the meaning of a "slide" thread you uneducated cretin?

>>42360945
>Pretends to be ignorant what a slide thread is
>Calls someone else uneducated doubly, but asks them a question
You are a living hypocrite

Vogelbros..

>>42360977
He is literally asking about an episode of the show, how is that a slide. What is not a slide to you? Only generals?. Threads about the show are good, they invite newfaggots to discuss the show, new blood is always welcome

>>42360912 (OP)
are scootaloo and applebloom doubleteaming sweetie belle?
hot.........

>>42360983
Vogelbros we are vindicated.

Season 5 was the last season the show was generally good, aside from one or two episodes per season after.

>>42360922
I was 12 years old at the time season 2 aired so naturally I ate up that slop completely

>>42360912 (OP)
>5 months
Technically 6 months. Lesson Zero aired in October together with Luna Eclipsed.
It was Return of Harmony that aired in September and then took a 3 week hiatus, roflmao.
Sisterhooves Social aired in November together with the Smile Smile Smile leaked song.
It took Hasbro 2 entire months to air 5 lousy episodes, technically 4 episodes because one is a 2-parter.
Season 2 had a really shitty airing schedule.

Also Lesson Zero aired at a time when Apple.mov also aired just a few days BEFORE Lesson Zero

Whoah chat can you believe people who joined the fandom during the 2011 summer actually had no idea who Faust was and completely ate this stuff up? I mean in Ghost's words "Season 2 sucks. Do they expect us to believe this crap?"
>It's just like my hotdiggedy fan animations!

I remember there were anons criticizing Lesson Zero for trying way too hard to be another Party of One. Of course they were the vocal minority.

>>42361137
It's amazing how badly they struggled with the release schedule, that definitely hurt the show's popularity.

>>42361129
I've heard there's less focus on actual ponies later on which sounds disappointing and I also don't like adding gay characters into a pure, wholesome show.

>Also Lesson Zero aired at a time when Apple.mov also aired just a few days BEFORE Lesson Zero
Apple.Mov was an insidejob , Max Gilardi worked for Hasbro to ease the fandom into accepting the Lesson Zero McCarthy puppet era while the jews controlled her. YOU WILL LOVE SMARTY PANTS, BUY OUR TOYS, BUY OUR TOYS!!

Well yeah, that's like saying The Best Night ever was Party of One for Fluttershy, or Applebuck Season was a sleep deprived Party of One. Ponies losing their marbles in season 1 was it's own meme that spread the show's popularity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb1m8Fz3vsc

Back then you also didn't have a platform to voice your unified opinion on besides EQDaily & Ponychan which were crawling with Hasdrones and weren't even that popular.
Most of the unique comments came from Youtube's comments section and everyone was obviously a coward or an underage.
There like 1-2 anons on Ponychan (which still barely had 30 tripfags in total when discussing the show) comparing how Party of One is better than Lesson Zero which ironically being written by the same person and they couldn't wrap their head around the concept of 12 different people editing your script or telling you to edit your own script with their shit changes.

Someone remind me why Lauren left??? Didn't her higher-ups insist on changing the story/characters and she was stubborn and left?

>>42361423
>Heeyyyyy Laureeenn buddy how about you put in some pink trains in there huh huh huh?
>Hey Lauren we loved your scripts BUT we're just going to make some teeeeny tiinnyyyy weeetsiiie little changes
>Lauren: What kind of changes -_- ?
>Hasbro: Fluttershy+Pinkie Pie needs to be louder, scarier, more obnoxious and have a time machine and whenever Pinkie Pie isn't on screen everyone has to ask "Hey where's Pinkie Pie?" :D wink wink Andrea Libman loves the idea, don't you Mrs Libman? *Points gun in her back* Andrea: Yes ;_; I UHH I MEAN YESSIRRR BOB :D
>Lauren: ... anything else?
>3 alicorns! maybe even 4 alicorns if Twilight gets turned into a princess. Luna is autistic. Did I tell you about precious niece?
>*Grabs and starts writing the scripts for her* this looks good to you, Lauren?
>Lauren: You know what, why don't you write the show if you're so good?
>Hasbro: Are you giving us 100% control :D?
>Lauren: You already had 90% control you pieces of shits.
>Hasbro: Ohohohohoho AND TWILIGHT GETS A NEW BROTHER.
>Lauren: I'm out!
>Hasbro: Haha leave us a good review and we'll leave you a good review too, Lauren. That is if you ever want to work in this industry again. Wink.
>Hasbro: .... Ooohh Meghan McCarthy, Larson!! we need a new typemonkey!!! also meet your "new" executive producer.

>>42361621
Too real. Except Hasbro wouldn't be so self aware. They'd be completely delusional as to why their practices are seen as unorthodox and disgusting. To them giving the cook endless notes per script, telling the cook to fuck off, grabbing the spoon and cooking their disgusting sloppa is par of the course for them.

>>42361621
>"Hasbro: Ohohohohoho AND TWILIGHT GETS A NEW BROTHER."

Shining Armor was Faust's idea and I still don't see the issue with him that is not people assuming non-sense about Twilight's life. She only quitted because of Cadence getting changed into an alicorn, as that was a decision Hasbro made after the episode was written without telling her.

>>42363511
>Shining Armor was Faust's idea
SAUCE

They made a lot more decisions without her input. Supervisor doesn't really hold much control. Faust didn't even watch the final episodes as they came out.

>>42360912 (OP)
Yeah looking back it really was the writing on the wall
