So I just got around to watching the second part of the season finale (watched part one on Monday) and I just
I don't even know anymore. I was amazed that they used Tirek, and the initial scene between him and Discord was seriously one of the best scenes in the whole show, but then came the recaps and the stuff and eh.
Those rainbowed designs were the single ugliest thing I've ever seen on the whole show. They looked like bad fancomic recolors. Jesus fucking tapdancing Christ. I was also hoping the whole time that Discord was just playing along with Tirek, but I guess there was no chance for that.
Season four thus ends with a slightly worse track record than season three, since that had four good episodes out of thirteen and this one had six good out of twenty-six, including the two worst episodes ever. Then again, season three had Magical Mystery Cure and that's worth like three bad episodes.

Besides that, I would look forward to the moment that anyone of the cast walks by the leftovers of the destroyed tree and comments on it. That would be an interesting fanfic to read, come to think of it.
I got the implication that the new thing is where the library used to be.
I thought that thing referenced in above spoilers was stupid as shit too.
So, well.
I could say "I'm done", but I know I'd end up watching season five anyway. They've shown they're still capable of hitting one out of the park as with Maud Pie in this season, but... I don't find anywhere near the enjoyment of the show as I did in seasons one and two. Adventure Time has since long surpassed Friendship is Magic in being a quality cartoon, currently at 160 episodes and subpar episodes are the exception rather than the rule. Okay, so the episodes are half the length of Friendship is Magic episodes, but in most cases that's a good thing and there's very few episodes that have had a pacing problem. Something that can't be said about FiM. Maybe it would benefit from 11-minute episodes too.

I somehow doubt that the motivation and vision that Lauren Faust had when she produced the show was to sell toys.
Hasbro wanted to sell toys and commissioned Faust to create a line of toys to sell. Just because she created a cartoon that wasn't fluffly, vacuous, girly-girl crap doesn't change the fact that My Little Pony was meant to sell toys to children. Attracting an adult audience was simply a happy side effect of creating something of relatively good quality.
My nieces have loved every single episode, and are complaining that they don't have all the toys. I think they're succeeding where it counts.
A hundred years from now, they will gaze upon my work and marvel at my skills but never know my name. And that will be good enough for me.

I can't help but disagree.
I tried watching Adventure Time, and lasted for almost two seasons. The randomness became just boring. It wasn't completely horrible, but perhaps one episode in ten was non-boring for me; even those were more on the "meh" side than on the "enjoyable" side.
Many FiM episodes feel rushed and condensed as they are, lacking proper character development. Cutting them in half would only make it ten times worse. If anything, the episodes should be extended to at least 30 minutes.

I'm not going to say "You quit before it became good", because it was always pretty good, but there's a reason my recommended episodes list (posted in the other thread) only contains five episodes total from the first two seasons. Mortal Folly and Mortal Recoil (two last episodes of Season 2, go figure) really dialed it up.
If anything, find and watch the episode "Thank You". It's a great example of how amazing the show can be and definitely unlike anything you already watched of it.

Yeah I dunno, Adventure Time didn't work for me either. My friends kept recommending it and I saw a bit into the 4th season before I stopped. Never really seemed like anything special to me *shrug*.
Even the best player is limited by the speed of his fingers, or his mind's ability to control them. But what happens when speed is not a factor, when theory becomes reality?
The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 never aired in Italy. This led to the removal of the mention of cider in the Italian dub of Bats! It's due to the fact that cider is considered an alcoholic beverage (this is not the case in the U.S., just look it up in Wikipedia)
The Turkish dub of The Best Night Ever removed the part where Rarity sings about finding the royal pony of her dreams.
And they either changed or removed the instances of interspecies relationships (e.g. Spike has a crush on Rarity).
The Arabic dub also removed related scenes in Green Isn't Your Color, leading up to inconsistency.
Looks like the Japanese dub isn't the only one who cuts content. (Bushiroad does this to fit in the time window)
A Canterlot Wedding Part 2 has a recap that's slightly over one minute, they had to slightly extend the open sequence with the episode synopsis.
I'm keeping track of the Best Selection rebroadcasts on a notepad and following this page.

Clearly it was way too difficult to dub it as something else (like "apple juice" or something). Much easier to just ban the entire episode.

That didn't really answer my question.
Anyway, censoring and banning episodes of My Little Pony seems really crazy. MLP doesn't sound like a show that would be deemed worthy of censorship. Especially when we are talking about an American-produced cartoon which main target demographic is little girls.
I think there's something wrong in those people's heads.

Maybe it has something to do with their religion that leads up to it.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is on the list.
Also, I wonder if someone would make a ponyfied hack of Zelda II.
I mean, there are ponyfied hacks of SMB2, ALttP, FF6, SML2 and Megaman3, there should be no doubt about it.

It seems that in every single one of them the ponies walk upright, like humans (with the possible exception of ALttP which, deducing from quick googling, is nothing more than just the playable character sprite replaced with a Derpy sprite). Those modders do not understand MLP at all. They do not walk upright. They do not behave like humans.
When will we see an actually good MLP game or mod?
(That one fighting game might be quite good, but not the kind of game I'm looking for.)
MLP RPG: The Elements of Harmony is a parody of the first Final Fantasy. The ponies stand on all fours on that game, unlike Pony Fantasy VI. I know! If someone would remake Pony Fantasy VI using RPG Maker VX Ace...
We can't wait to see two new MLP games from two different game companies. (one by WayForward, the other by the creator of Ecco the Dolphin)

There's that one Pony game that's trying to be like Ace Attorney. From what I've seen (which, admittedly, isn't much) it seems to be of pretty high quality, and built from the ground up with an MLP setting using the Ace Attorney series as a base for gameplay.
