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.

[up] 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)

[up][up] I always considered Dragonshy an adventuring episode

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.

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 waii

[up] Oh, I loved those two

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:

Who happen to live in a land filled with half the D&D Monster Manual.

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

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!!!

[up][up][up][up] 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.

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.

[up] 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

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.
