Artistic standpoint?  Well the animation can be choppy at times, they don't seem to have an editor and frequent mistakes like missing magical tramp stamps and improper shadows are a frequent problem, the shadowing on the characters is awful, the colors are garish, and if you want to include music as part of the artistic standpoint the music is fucking tortuous.  Equestria Girls gets it's own special mention as the designs are fucking hideous, almost everyone wears the exact same thing, character shapes make them look like Barbie Dolls while you're on an acid trip, the clothing choices on some of the characters makes no sense, the tramp stamps being on the characters clothes was a dumbass design choice, the freaky skin colors was a dumbass design choice, and it is such an obvious idiot plot and so full of holes i'm amazed brony zealots who try to defend the fucking thing don't experience their own frontal lobes self lobotomizing in protest.


Writing wise the main show doesn't fair much better with hypocritical messages, frequent idiot plots and over reliance on poor communication kills, some messages were rehashed, and to say the treatment of Luna and Discord is some of the most stupid shit i've seen in a TV show would be making a pretty big understatement even when i remember shit Family Guy pulled and some of South Park's dud episodes.  The person who suggested a heel-face turn from Discord should have been fired or kneecapped, and they should have ordered studio-wide drug testing after Luna's bizarre appearance in season two.

Anyway, that's what i remember.  I quit watching it a while ago and quit taking bets where the stakes are watching a show you know you're going to hate.  Weirdly my life has vastly improved since then.  It was like MLP on my computer was somehow making me depressed.

I'd say problems exist in character stasis, stereotyping characterization, predictable and rehashed plotting and narrative, clichés, & metaphors that are banal (Tanks for the Memories. I like it, but it fails in that regard). Even though the 100th episode featured many background ponies, there was definite dullness of character and a lack of insight.

I don't count my agreement with the moral in determining quality because of their subjectivity. If they state the moral verbally, I'll see how well it was phrased.

Since I enjoy music, have learned that it, and any art, can be judged with objectivity, yet I lack a strong ability to do so (music must present perceptible logic (John Cage, who believed any sound constituted music if one listened properly, was a nut in that regard, e.g., 4'33")), what would be characteristics that are a hindrance to the music quality?

Well the bad characters fall in line with the bad writing.  No one gave a shit and the characters are piecemeal at best.  Granted you can have a little fun with it as they pull the Meyers mistake as i'm coming to call it and unwittingly gave signs that Twilight and Pinkie Pie may be sociopaths, so i like to taunt bronies by saying Cupcakes is canon.

The rehashed plot and characters may be a chronic thing though.  It's the fourth incarnation and from what i gathered almost all of the characters and names were recycled.  It's lazy beyond all fucking belief.

More character-driven episodes could benefit.

Is sociopathy a sign of a bad character? Sure if it's just handled lazily, but should they get into why sociopaths exist, they could be well-sketched characters.

As for the music, would you elaborate, please?

Your sense of humor intrigues me.

"You have it backwards.  No one NEEDS to respect your opinion.  People aren't being "Mean" when they disagree with you or point out your misbehavior.  It's far more mean to simply let you delude yourself and think of yourself as a victim when all things considered, you've been getting far more respect and civility than you've actually earned with the way you behave.  Constantly ranting to the point that you look like a bigot, constantly parading your dislikes and demanding respect when you are saying nothing of value and putting little thought into your actions or how they're perceived by others, and then breaking out the self-pity whenever you attract heat with your behavior?  These problems are easily fixed.

Leave.  Learn to deal with differing opinions and arguments.  Come back when you're ready to discuss them like an adult instead of hiding comments you don't like and crying "Bully" every time someone disagrees with you.  And no, this isn't me being mean.  This is the nicest thing someone has said to you on this journal."
