All I want from this show, with the idea that this is a kids show, is a decent plot, good morals that aren't being forced upon, and a level of intelligence that won't insult the kids or adults.

The only thing I really want to see is more interaction with other charters and I want to know more of Equestria outside of Ponyville and The Everfree Forest. However, I won't hold the Dev Team hostage if they don't do it.

Don't make me fire Pinky's party cannon.

Exactly. All I want is for them to expand upon this awesome world that they've created.

and I want to see villains that can actually match the mane cast this time (even if they're not uber powerful like Discord)

I always considered Dragonshy an adventuring episode

A good and reasonable statement, colinis.

Forget the "it's a kid's show" argument, MLP is predictable just because Status Quo is God.

That said, part 2 was awesome. Didn't have as much Discord as part 1, but Flutterbitch (and Tom) made up for it big time.

And because Flutterbitch is so far away from Fluttershy's normal characterization, I really like her subsequent line: "That - big - dumb - MEANIE!" It's comic, but it also shows how hurt she was by his corruption.

@Ever 9: I can't speak for everyone but I don't think anyone hated the episode, but rather that some parts did feel a little too rushed and could have used a little more time. That said, it's definitely a really good episode and I do prefer it to the first two parter. It has a better villain and some really great visuals. Plus, it made me really worried about whether the mane cast would get out of this or not and it felt great when they finally did get back together. That alone makes it all worth it.

Don't worry Ginger I think we will always have villains even if it's just a sopiled girl cough diamon tiara cough

Do you think we'll ever see Celestia as the focus of an episode? I love her character, and I kinda want to see an episode done entirely from hers or Luna's POV

Oh, I loved those two

These are the ponies, not the Ninja Turtles or the Avengers.

to recap:

I reiterate, I'm not against episodes like "Dragonshy" or characters such as Trixie or Gilda. I mainly just think MLP doesn't need demigod villains. These are the ponies, not the Ninja Turtles or the Avengers.

That being said, I'm okay with Nightmare Moon and I'm starting to warm up to Discord, but these two better be the last god-like villains to show up.

I think that, for a twist, season 3 should use a more down-to-Earth villain, or even just some natural situation to kick off its season. Sometimes a weaker villain has more potential to be interesting, like the Riddler stories in the Silver Age Batman comics.

(Hey, here's an idea: how about bringing back Trixie? Everypony loves Trixie!)

EDIT:

Oh come on, we haven't even seen a Shadow Stalker yet!

The Rock's fandom name is now Tom Dan.

I'm ok with this.

EDIT: Also, Discord is tall enough to be Lord English.

OH NOES!!!

That's true. The problem with slice of life though is that the stakes tend to be very low and very personal. That doesn't really work when a serious villain shows up. The stakes have to at least be somewhat moderate, or the villain just comes off as pointless.

...Okay, I knew about the Dan part but where'd the Tom come from?

In the scene before they enter the library, Rarity refers to the rock as Tom.

#21917 Death Cloud Sat, 24th Sep '11 1:15:35 PM

I whant villains of same level what the ones from G1 were, nothing more , nothign less.

I whant Rarity to be kickass dress maker.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

I wouldn't mind them being lower tier than that. I'd just want their goal to be a bit larger than: "Fucking with the Mane Cast's lives"

unless the villain was very, very intriguing of course

And Tom Dan is apparently the new challenger for the coolest character in the show.

Rainbow Dash better watch her back. <___<

Rarity/Tom Dan are the only OTP.

Rainbow Dash is cooler than Tom Dan and he will win Rarity heart.

I'm not necessarily saying the show needs a Big Bad, it would just be nice if one lasted for more than an episode, that's all.

So, how are the memes faring online? Have any gained particular prominence?
