So Bronies, your thoughts on MLP:FiM season 2. Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT | |
I thought it was the poniest pony that ever ponied a pony. I don't watch MLP but I imagine my statement is eerily accurate. | |
I find it would be an honor if you derailed my thread. But let's wait a few more posts until you do that. Also, any ideas for your next british food thread? | |
I've just posted the latest one, I don't need to think of anything new for a while yet. Also, you don't get to decide when I derail threads, that's my artistic integrity your're questioning. | |
Surely this whole derailment thing you have going on is against the rules as it is a consistent thing just to ruin threads. Mod action must be taken, if it is not then the mods are corrupt and must be removed at all costs. Here it is people, either the end of Daystar or the end of the reign of the mods. March madness, now April Uprising! http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/codeofconduct

Oh come on :D My post was on topic! I was never intending to derail this thread, just wanted to to pony this place up a bit. | |
Firstly, user group link: Favorite episode? I dunno, none of them really stand out in my mind. Well, maybe Dragon Quest, for finally having a Spike episode. (Wow, this thread got off to a terrible start. This is why we can't have nice things.) | |
I thought the finale was the best episode I've ever seen, but season 2 as a whole wasnt as good. | |
DAMN IT TOAST *I* WAS GOING TO USE CHRYSALIS AS AN AVATAR but Photoshop was giving me grief so I thought I'd do it later. Chrysalis was awesome. | |
Ooh another MLP thread! | |
Overall, I thought season 2, while having some great episodes in the beginning and end, really didn't hold up so well in the middle. Still good, mind you, just not as good. Favourite episode:Hmm...Either Lesson Zero or Hurricane Fluttershy. Least Favourite:The one where AJ runs away for not winning all 1st place. Can't even remember its name. | |
The Last Roundup. Otherwise known as the Derpy episode. | |
Beat you there! I agree, Chrysalis shall rival Discord as one of the most awesome cartoon villains of all time. Others include Plankton from Spongebob, the guy from Inspector Gadget and other awesome villains. | |
Well, I have only one thing to say about the final two-parter: As for favourite episode, I'm gonna go with the "MMMystery on the Friendship Express" It had Mystery, it had a Crime to solve, it had references to 007 and it was just pure mindless parody. I LOVED it! And to any haters here, here's something else you may hate, combined with what you hate here, to give you a cross-over punch to the Balls! Word! | |
My fav episode this season would probably be Read It and Weep, if only for Daring Do. ... Also, pony thread . . .

Not a "brony" and I don't normally say anything in these threads, but, jeez. If you know that people are going to be annoyed by a thread to the point where you feel the first thing you must do is tell them to do is go away, why make it? There's a user group that you're a part of where you can discuss precisely this with a bunch of other people who want to discuss things like this with you. The only reason I can possibly see that you (since you obviously know about the user group) would post this here is to annoy people who don't like MLP/MLP threads. So.. well done, I guess? | |
Or maybe it's because the Escapist user groups are comically inadequate for carrying on any sort of focused discussion? And anyone who gets annoyed at the existence of a thread that they do not wish to take part in has plenty of other issues to deal with. | |
because they are but it moves too quickly and is entwined with loads of other posts about other shit. | |
No, why shouldn't bronies be allowed to have a thread at the end of season 2 (A BIG event for bronies) to discuss their favorite episodes. We could do that in the group I guess but the chat system in place is terrible for discussions when more than 3 people are talking at once. So no, I didn't make this to annoy people. | |
Would you rather we clogged up our own message board with our opinions at to what a great series it was and what our thoughts on our favourite series episode was? Don't answer that, I can guess what you're going to say.... And someone was bound to do this anyway, so why not just do it now and direct any "Why is all this MLP stuff around" threads here as well. There, I answered your rebuttal earlier than first. | |
It might just be a chance for those who wish to talk about it to talk about it in a place that doesn't necessarily move at such a fast pace. And I'm pretty sure that statement was just put there to kinda forego the whole thread going up in flames from hatred thing. Edit: Whelp, I'm awful late to that bandwagon. Don't mind me then. Silly phone is so slow to type with. | |
Because group chat isn't really suitable for talking about one particular topic (such as favorite episodes). Also, be aware that if you complain about bronies in a brony thread, you WILL get quoted A LOT. | |
To try to get the thread back on track: Yeah, the finale sure had a lot of awesomeness for a little girl's show, didn't it? | |
I'm not going to quote all five of you who quoted me already because multiple quotes get messy. So: 1. I'm not annoyed in the least. I just know a lot of people do get annoyed. (Hence my use of "they" instead of "us".) 2. I'm not familiar with the group stuff, so I assumed it was adequate for discussing interests since so many people join them.
I couldn't care less what people make threads about, really.. it just seems kind of suspect for someone to start it off with an attitude like that for any other reason. Also, see (2) above. So, carry on, ya'll. | |
Glad we could come to an understanding. Now, let's get the thread back on track. I just thought of what could be my second favorite. Probably A Friend In Deed, the smile song just made me so happy and I loved the whole plot about matilda and cranky doodle donkey. | |
Can we stop feeding the trolls (real or imagined) and re-rail this thread? Anyway, Season 2 was a lot more uneven than Season 1. It had the best episodes, like Luna Eclipsed, the Discord duo, Lesson Zero, and (probably) the Wedding, but it also had Mare-do-Well and Dragon Quest. I'd still have to rate it higher than Season 1, despite the mid-season slump. The Wedding was, well, I am kind of shocked (in a good way) at how little wedding there was in the wedding episodes. The trailers were completely misleading and led me to pre-judge the episodes pretty harshly as no more than an excuse to conjure up a ratings-grabbing wedding with nonexistent cipher characters. I had no idea that would crash it. That came completely out of left field. | |
I enjoy season two more then season one (Though I still like Season one. I just thought they did better in season 2). The final episode surprise me in how good it was, at least in my opinion, and probably one of my favorites beside the Discord episode. Which reminds me.. | |
I view season 2 as a total improvement from season 1. season 1 had well structured episodes and a charm that few shows have (a cartoon for little girls attracting an adult male audience for example) yes, however, compared to the scale/quality of things in season 2, season 1 can be viewed as rather dull. If I were to critique season 2 that season 1 did better, it would be that episodes from season 2 felt a little bit more unstable, where the pacing would vary and antics would range from mellow to over the top. other then that, season 2 was a vast improvement. the animation was better, the humor was better, the action was better, the characters were far more developed, the sound quality was better, the music was better, writing was better, etc. by far the season finale is my most favorite episode out of the entire series, and I feel it is deserved of the title of best episode. It's everything I hoped MLP would evolve into. where the show started out humble enough and with a charming yet simple goal, it has matured into something much more. The season finale was near a disney movie level of quality, it was more complex, much more exciting, and much more emotional than any of the previous episodes. EVERYTHING that I just said is of course my own opinion, but that's how I feel, and I'm extremely excited for the third season. | |
Not too shabby, it's been awhile, something about this season's episodes just didn't click as well as firsts. I'll probably say my favorite would either be Read it and Weep or Luna Eclipsed. Oh, I also haven't seen the finally, I'm waitin for it to hop up on youtube with more clarity than I can actually watch it in. | |
I enjoyed Season 2 a lot more than Season 1. Maybe it was because I watched as they came out, rather than in my own time (as I discovered the show just after Season 1 had finished last May), but I felt it had the funnier episodes, better antagonists (not just Discord, but the Flim Flam Brothers and the season finale villains as well), better meltdowns (Lesson Zero was fantastic, as was It's About Time for crazy Twilight) and also focused a lot more on character development. On that last point, I felt that was really where the series shone through. Hurricane Fluttershy was one of the best episodes for this, as not only did it chronicle Fluttershy getting over her chronic fear of flying, but it also showed the more compassionate side of Rainbow Dash, that isn't normally seen. It's left me with high hopes for what they can do with Season 3. | |
I'm not a brony so I don't think I'm allowed to comment but I kinda liked Dragon Quest, mostly because it had more of a focus on spike. I feel he is far to underplayed and they aren't doing anywhere near enough with the whole "Oh gee I don't know where I came from and I'm the only one of my kind I know" angle. Also I always imagine he's the illegitimate son of Ridley, so that makes lots of the things he does so much funnier. | |
"finale". And I believe that's been done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsixRtMKUCk&hd=1 | |
1080's been up for a while. | |
Why thank you, I'm a lazy bastard and hadn't checked since around noon. Now, off to go finish this off. | |
I loved the last episode, it's good to have more than one mega evil villian in one season. The previews also fooled me as well as I was expecting a weak season finale. Speaking of which, anybody got any ideas on what kind of villian will appear in the opening episode of season 3? | |

If you are not a brony, please go away since this thread is not for you at all.
If you are a brony though, what are your thoughts on season 2 as a whole? What was your favorite episode and what was your least favorite episode. If you want go ahead and list the 26 episodes in terms of quality. Also spoilers on the season finale should obviously be put in spoiler tags.
My favorite episode is definitely the season finale, when I watched it today it just blew me away.
Spoiler: Click to View
My least favorite episode was probably ummm, actually I loved all of them. None of them made me think "COME ON, THAT WAS CRAP!" they all gave me a really special, happy feeling.
