Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
Well comparing season 1 to season 2 it's a decent chance of happening in season 3. If I had to take a guess of what season 3 will be like I'd say it's going to be even better, cause so far the show has seemed to get better and better.
People were worried about season 2 saying that it was going to be terrible, but we were happily wrong about that..
Everyone knows a series starts to trail off after season 3. Season 1 sees the characters start to find their place, with minor edits here and there as seen fit. The writers find out what works and what doesn't and changes that for Season 2.
Season 2 is all laa dee da with good plots and character moments.
Season 3 starts to see the decline with the last good plots being mined for what they're worth. Arguably this and season 2 will be the best seasons.
Season 4 sees the writers attempt to have the characters or the theme of the show go in different directions to try to make new plots. They might throw in a bottle episode (low budget filler) as they scramble to get every last decent plot.
Season 5 onwards is an increasing spiral of pestilence and death as the writers get into more harebrained, canon-raping plots and characters undergo Flanderization, the exaggeration of their traits. This is a sick dog that has to be put down but is forced to live and suffer.
