So I was a little late watching the season finale and avoided this thread till I got around to it for spoilers.
WOW.
Like, that wasn't just good for a merchandising series. I haven't seen anything approaching that scale (at least done that well) on a TV cartoon in
decades save for Avatar. If you told me three years ago I'd see that out of frigging My Little Pony, I would have laughed in your face.
Oh, and I had to laugh at the end of part 1.
Twilight's alienated her brother, got chewed out by Celestia, then imprisoned by a megalomaniac in disguise...HAPPY CREDITS MUSIC

That shit reminded me of some of the darker cliffhangers on The West Wing.
Oh my god.
Someone made a Pony Fantasy IV fanfic?!
Eh. It gets better after a very bland verbatim rehash of the intro, but it's still very...dry. You'd think a Final Fantasy crossover would spend a little time basking in the setting and monsters, but there's almost no imagery. One could be forgiven for thinking it took place in a blank void where talking heads fight vaguely-shaped gray cubes.
I believe there was an MMO indy called Equestria Online.
It was making really good progress, then the team fell apart very suddenly. From what I can tell, a lot of the content went right into
this
and they're back on track under a new mask with little ground lost.
Discord was awesome and really entertaining, but I think the Changeling Queen had a more interesting plan of attack.
Of course she did.
