Re: What is with all of this "My little pony" stuff? (The unofficial official MLP Thr
Now that I think about it kind of good that hasbro is experimenting with equestria girls . . Hold on, what I mean by that is they have not a single clue why people like the main show and have been pretty on the ball with it.
Look at past episodes.
People liked luna? Bring her back in season 2 and get her own episode in season 2 and 3.
People liked Trixie? Bring her back. Granted the episode was pretty meh, but it wasn't terrible.
People liked Discord? Bring him back. Hold on, the episode was okay, but not terrible.
People disliked Sombra? Don't bring him back.
People liked Chysalis? Bring her back in the comics.
The times they have dropped the ball they haven't repeated it. The people that disliked the cutie mark crusaders originally for being hyper active kids they focused more on the individual cutie mark crusaders and gave them their own episodes, like giving scootaloo her own episode, giving sweetie bell her own episode, giving applebloom her own episode and introducing a new cutie mark crusader and giving the episode a serious lesson. We'll probably see more of babs seed in the future since there were people that liked her.
On the other hand we probably won't see the deus ex machina harmony err I mean the elements of harmony being used to solve a episode problem cause using a deus ex machina more than twice will piss people off. We may see episodes revolving around the story being them and where they come from, but I don't think we'll see them being used to beat a villain anymore and they haven't been used to defeat a villain since the beginning of season 2.
Given the utter shitstorm around the season 3 finale and equestria girls I doubt we're going to see any more princesses or the "human" world again.
Also given how everyone was utterly "meh" about the season 3 finale we probably won't see any more new episodes resembling the season 3 finale in any way, except for parts the fans liked. Like "new princess?" "NO!" cans it; "musical?" "meh" maybe; "talent swapping?" "meh?" maybe, and so on.
The reason why this may be a good thing that they're experimenting with the show is so that in the long run it won't stagnate. If they continue to try new things and whatever people don't like they don't ever do it again it will in the long run keep the show fresh.
We may see things in season 4 and the movie with them playing around with the franchise a bit to try and further understand why people like the show.
A prime example of this is Derpy. Initially they took out Derpy cause "She's offensive", but given the amount of people that like her and the backlash for her being taken out we saw her return in the season 3 finale. It doesn't matter what your personal views on her are and whether or not you think she was offensive, cause at the end of the day Hasbro commissions the show and sell toys to make a profit. If you hate how she was portrayed well then get used to it cause Hasbro recognized her merchandise makes too much money to care what you think.
That also does bring up another point. If you look at the new blind bags coming out do you think they would have ever thought to make a Octavia, Gilda, Flim and Flam, Lotus blind bag if they didn't think there was enough money in it? My guess is next season we'll see even more fan favorite blind bags being made and not just recolors. Recolors are easier cause you don't have to set up a whole new production line. If they didn't think there was enough money in it they wouldn't be making those blind bags at all.
Tl:dr; It's a good thing at the end of the day that hasbro is trying to see what fans like and what they don't like cause it'll keep the show fresh, it will keep fans watching the show and will continue to generate a profit for a long time.
Tl:dr; of Tl:dr; Hasbro-
