Pre and Post Season 3 My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Opinion Game - Part 2! · 10:31am Feb 23rd, 2013


Recently I made my first forum thread, my first forum thread within the Flutterdash group. FlutterDash fanfics in need of attention! is a thread for the purpose of pretty much what it is titled, a place to list FlutterDash stories that have gone about unnoticed or have received surprisingly few comments (I considered this as less than ten comments per chapter), So I advise all fans of FlutterDash to check out my thread, comment on the thread if you wish to, but most of all to check out the stories listed in the forum and provide the authors of the stories with the tips, critiques and praise they deserve.

Fanfiction Progress
I was once again busy this week, with little free time on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. So naturally I got little fanfiction done... but I did. Well, I did get Fanfiction written in everything but Openly Secret Date (sorry Nintendo Gal). Decent progress has been made on Kisses are Complicated and even The Shy Knight and the Rainbow Princess.

In regards to Kisses are Complicated, I've managed to complete the scene I was working on. This was only recently though, and feeling the need to edit and improve it myself a little, I have yet to send it off to Rated PonyStar. This, so long as nothing gets in the way, I should be doing tomorrow, along with my small adjustment to his first scene, which is only editing the opening paragraph really. What he's sent me so far is pretty darn spectacular.

As for The Shy Knight and the Rainbow Princess, well, let's just say I'll have something to send to Ugugg very soon. Let me be a little clearer with this though, what I have written is not the first chapter of the fanfic but something that will be included in the story. It's a little extra, though relevant to the fanfic as well as Magnetism, that will be included once per chapter, at the end of each chapter, with exception to chapter 1. As for chapter 1, I will be starting on that soon, don't worry. It is something I'll be sure to work on when my collaboration partners are busy writing up their scenes of the story.

If you guessed that this bizarrely uploaded review to have been done by Strebiskunk then bravo to you, it’s not even surprising anymore is it. It is a good one though with a hilarious joke at the end so enjoy.

Pre and Post Season 3 My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Opinion Game - Part 2!
Now then, today’s post is an interactive post, split into two parts. This here is the second part, the first part having been posted on the 3rd November, a week before season 3 aired. You see, I like making lists, and I also like seeing how these lists change over time, so I decided to make a game out of it. I listed my favourite and least favourite My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic episodes, pairings, songs, and characters just before season 3 and asked the readers of my blog to do the same. Now, with season 3 gone and past, I will be listing my favourites and least favourites of those categories and seeing how season 3 has changed my views and listings; hopefully all those who engaged in this game last time will do the same.

Speaking of which I will now thank KnoFear, MysteriousBrony, Noble Colors, FreezingShock, Der_Fur_Shur, and NintendoGal55 for all participating in the first part of this interactive blog. Also, for all those who did not participate in the first part, feel free to participate in this second part if you want to, just write down your lists and make note of how you think your likes and dislikes have changed with season 3.

Rules

* There are eight categories; your favourite episodes, pairings, songs, and characters as well as your least favourite episodes, pairings, songs, and characters. You can pick and choose how many of these you do and which of these you do. For example you could make your list for all eight categories or, if you don't like listing your least favourites, can chose to only list your favourites. If you are not into shipping or don't have any opinion on the songs you can chose to not list anything to with shipping’s or songs. Just please try to make at least one of the lists.

* In each list the minimum required amount is 1 and the maximum is 10. For example, if you have 10 favourite songs you type out 1-10 and list them in order of preference. If however you only particularly like 3 or 4 songs, and are neutral or dislike the others you can chose to only list 3-4 songs in order of preference. You are not required to list 10 of each option; however you cannot go above 10 that is the maximum number of places.

* While the list is limited to 10 places you can have your choices share places. For instance, if you like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy equally you can have them share a spot. So the example would be: 5) Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy.

* There are no limits to how many characters you can have share a place and as such your list can simply be a case of, for example 1) Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie.

* You do not have to give an explanation for your answers, I will probably be trying to discuss this with you the comments anyway.

Now then, here is where I shall list my favourites and least favourites, starting with episodes, then pairings, then songs, and finally characters. To make things more convenient though, I’ve posted my original list of opinions, before I watched season 3, along with my new one so you can see how my opinion has changed. On the left side is my original pre-season 3 list, and on the right, as well as being in bold, is my post-season 3 list. I will also briefly comment on each list and its various changes. Enjoy, feel free to comment on my list and its changes as well as to make your own lists.


Favourite Episodes
10) It's About Time –> 10) Secret of my Excess
9) Secret of my Excess –> 9) Over A Barrel
8) Over A Barrel –> 8) Just for Sidekicks
7) Party of One –> 7) Party of One
6) Sisterhooves Social –> 6) Sisterhooves Social
5) A Dog and Pony Show –> 5) A Dog and Pony Show
4) Look Before You Sleep –> 4) Look Before You Sleep
3) The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 –> 3) The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
2) Hurricane Fluttershy –> 2) Hurricane Fluttershy
1) The Last Roundup –> 1) The Last Roundup

Only one season 3 episode was great enough, enjoyable enough, for me to place it within my top ten episodes and that is Just for Sidekicks. On the topic of season 3 episodes, I will say that Magic Duel came very close, placing just behind It’s About Time meaning it is now at 12th place.

Least Favourite Episodes
10) MMMystery on the Friendship Express –> 10) Cutie Mark Chronicles
9) Best Night Ever –> 9) A Canterlot Wedding Part 1
8) Cutie Mark Chronicles –> 8) Family Appreciation Day
7) Family Appreciation Day -> 7) Griffon The Brush Off
6) Griffon the Brush Off –> 6) The Mysterious Mare Do Well
5) The Mysterious Mare Do Well -> 5) Keep Calm and Flutter On
4) Putting Your Hoof Down –> 4) Putting Your Hoof Down
3) Read it and Weep –> 3) Read it and Weep
2) Owls Well That Ends Well –> 2) Owls Well That Ends Well
1) Ponyville Confidential –> 1) Ponyville Confidential

To be clear, of the episodes that I consider poor there are only four five, the bottom five naturally. The other episodes are ones I consider average, but don't particularly like or feel they are all that great; they aren't poor but they are on the lower tier of my average rated episodes. Interestingly, while there is only one season 3 addition to this list, it has shifted a little in terms of places nine and ten, the addition of A Canterlot Wedding Part 1 due to my memory being rather foggy on the episode and, when looking back on it, almost every bit of praise for A Canterlot Wedding was for the second part.

Favourite Pairings
10) -> 10) HeavyLane, BlossomLane, HeavyBlossom, ScootaSpike
9) -> 9)DisPie, DisLestia,
8) -> 8) DanPie, RariJack
7) -> 7) CheeriMac, TwiMac
6) RariPie -> 6) RariPie
5) TwiPie -> 5) SweetieSpike
4) SoarJack -> 4) TwiPie
3) SweetieSpike -> 3) SoarJack
2) SpArity -> 2) SpArity
1) FlutterDash -> 1) FlutterDash

In my original list on pairings I only included six ships. This was because these were the only ships I was confident in listing within my top ten, stating them as my favourite above all others. Now that I have had more time to think of it, I've filled the list of ten and gone about rearranging my top six a little (FlutterDash remains number one of course). All of these are ships I already shipped prior to season 3 but were one's I found tricky to place above the rest of my liked ships. I won't say much more on the ships other than explaining which ship is between which two characters. Heavy Weight is what I call the big, muscular pegasus so the following means HeavyLane (Heavy Weight and Thunderlane), BlossomLane (Blossomforth and Thunderlane), HeavyBlossom (Heavy Weight and Blossomforth). The rest stand as ScootaSpike (Scootaloo and Spike), DisPie (Discord and Pinkie Pie), DisLestia (Discord and Celestia), DanPie (crossover ship involving Dan from Dan Vs shipped with Pinkie Pie), RariJack (Rarity and Applejack), CheeriMac (Cheerilee and Big Mac), TwiMac (Twilight Sparkle and Big Mac), RariPie (Rarity and Pinkie Pie), SweetieSpike (Sweetie Belle and Spike), TwiPie (Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie), SoarJack (Soarin' and Applejack), SpArity (Spike and Rarity) and of course, FlutterDash (Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash).

Least Favourite Pairings
8) -> 8) GildaShy
7) GildaShy -> 7) RariTwi
6) RainBurn -> 6) TwiXie
5) DumbShy, DumbDash, HoopShy, HoopDash -> 5) SpitDash
4) RariTwi -> 4) RainBurn
3) Twixie -> 3) DumbShy, DumbDash, HoopShy, HoopDash
2) SpikeBloom -> 2) SpikeBloom
1) FlutterMac -> 1) FlutterMac

Magic Duel has made the TwiXie ship more plausible but it's still not one I'm fond of. Having seen a couple more appearances of the make no sense ships of DumbDash my dislike of it, along with the other pegasus shipped with their bullies pairings has grown. Finally, having come to dislike Spitfire (whereas before I just found her to be boring and uninteresting) my dislike of the SpitDash has increased to the point where it has made this list.

Favourite Songs
10) Welcome Song -> 10) Twilight is my bestest friend
9) Cutie Mark Crusaders Song -> 9) The Perfect Stallion
8) Twilight is my bestest friend -> 8) Happy Monthiversary
7) The Perfect Stallion -> 7) Babs Seed
6) Happy Monthiversary -> 6) Winter Wrap Up
5) The Flim Flam Brothers Song -> 5) The Flim Flam Brothers Song
4) Art of the Dress -> 4) Art of the Dress
3) Winter Wrap Up -> 3) Raise This Barn
2) This Day Aria -> 2) This Day Aria
1) Find a Pet song -> 1) Find a Pet

I love Winter Wrap Up but overtime I gained more love for the likes of Art of the Dress and sung conversation songs like The Flim Flam Brothers Song and Find a Pet Song. Also, when it comes to songs that you just can't get out of your head, Raise this Barn has it beat. You will also notice that I love the Babs Seed song as well, so despite a general lack of songs this season (until the finale that is), season 3 has done quite well for enjoyable songs.

Least Favourite Songs
10) -> 10) Smile, Smile, Smile
9) Smile, Smile, Smile -> 9) The Ballad of the Crystal Empire, The Failure Song
8) Pinkie's Gala Fantasy Song -> 8) Pinkie's Gala Fantasy Song
7) So Many Wonders -> 7) So Many Wonders
6) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic opening theme (short version) -> 6) My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic opening theme (short version)
5) Oink, Oink, Oink -> 5) Oink, Oink, Oink
4) At the Gala -> 4) At the Gala
3) Junior Speedsters Chant -> 3) Junior Speedsters Chant
2) The Heart Carol -> 2) The Heart Carol
1) I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala -> 1) I'm at the Grand Galloping Gala

Unfortunately for season 3, I wasn't impressed with the songs present in The Crystal Empire. I just found The Ballad of the Crystal Empire and The Failure Song short, boring and unmoving... though the reprise of The Failure Song, The Success Song, was quite nice.

Favourite Characters
10) Pinkie Pie, Cranky Doodle Donkey -> 10) Queen Chrysalis, Chief Thunderhooves
9) Rarity, Apple Bloom, Applejack -> 9) Pinkie Pie, Cranky Doodle Donkey, Zecora
8) Fancy Pants -> 8) Rarity, Apple Bloom
7) Rover -> 7) Fancy Pants, Applejack
6) Sweetie Belle -> 6) Rover
5) Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy -> 5) Sweetie Belle
4) Spike -> 4) Fluttershy
3) Angel Bunny -> 3) Spike, Rainbow Dash
2) Scootaloo -> 2) Scootaloo, Angel Bunny
1) Twilight Sparkle -> 1) Twilight Sparkle

Favourite characters went through a heck of changes but in the odd case of not being the result of any season 3 characters being included. Season 3 generally lacked new characters and the only one I really liked was The Tourist (actually named as Ms. Peachbottom but I've grown accustom to calling her The Tourist). Still, she wasn't good enough to make the list and so the changes are more due to how well other characters have been presented. Scootaloo and Angel Bunny were both handled well in Sleepless in Ponyville and Just for Sidekicks respectively, allowing Scootaloo to retain her second place rank and Angel Bunny to ascend to it. Likewise Spike was awesome in The Crystal Empire and Rainbow Dash was awesome in just about everything this season, and I really enjoyed both Applejack and Zecora this season. None of the other characters have moved places though, the presence of Queen Chrysalis and Chief Thunderhooves due to the other characters going up in rank. Twilight Sparkle is still best pony, with or without wings.

Least Favourite Characters
10) Daring Do -> 10) Daring Do
9) Vinyl Scratch -> 9) Vinyl Scratch
8) Celestia -> 8) Twist, Snails
7) Twist -> 7) Philomena
6) Snails -> 6) Snips
5) Philomena -> 5) Owloysius
4) Silver Spoon -> 4) Spitfire
3) Snips -> 3) Silver Spoon
2) Hoops and Dumbbell -> 2) Hoops, Dumbbell
1) Owloysius -> 1) Celestia

A Canterlot Wedding made me like Celestia to some degree, then The Crystal Empire reminded me why I disliked the character and with Keep Calm and Flutter On Celestia just went down and down... she's at least got a good singing voice, that I like about her (although her being an awful singer would have been hilarious). I was okay with Snips and Snails in Magic Duel, though that doesn't make up for their overall uninteresting and unappealing characters and appearances, same with how I found Owloysius nice within Just for Sidekicks but still remember him being a pivotal reason as to why I disliked Owl's Well That End's Well. Finally, I've never really cared much for Spitfire, feeling her presentation made her come across as nothing more than a mature version of Rainbow Dash, but Wonderbolts Academy just made me dislike the character. At the end of that episode they tried to make her seem better with a sudden change of heart but that just made things worse.

Ah yes, time again to go over how S3 has changed my feelings on my favorite/least favorite... well everything in regards to the show.

Favorite Episodes:

10.Best Night Ever>>>>>>>>Just for Sidekicks
9. Last Roundup>>>>>>>>>Look Before You Sleep
8. Look Before You Sleep>>Sleepless in Ponyville
7. Sisterhooves Social>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Same From Here on Down
6. Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000
5. Cutie Mark Chronicles
4. Green is Not Your Color
3. Sweet and Elite
2. A Canterlot Wedding
1. Hurricane Fluttershy

So yeah not too much changed, except that Corey Powell has made a move of invading my top ten list, if they get her to write a Fluttershy, Rarity, or Sweetie Belle episode in Season 4 then I fear for my list.

Least Favorite Episodes
6. >>>>>>>>> Wonderbolts Academy
5. Ticket Master
4. Owls Well That Ends Well
3. Read it and Weep
2. Griffon the Brush Off
1. Baby Cakes

Unfortunately I had to add this one since there were several issues I had with the episode (Pinkie being well tiring, Spitfire turning into a bit a wishy washy leader where she ends up contradicting her earlier actions, and of Lightning Dust being... well unlikeable)

Favorite Songs

10. Cutie Mark Crusaders Theme Song>>>Bad Seed
9. Love is in Bloom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Art of the Dress
8. The Perfect Stallion>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Love is in Bloom
7. BBBFF>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>At the Gala
6. At the Gala>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Winter Wrap-Up
5. Winter Wrap-Up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>FInd a Pet
4. Find a Pet>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Smile, Smile, Smile
3. Smile, Smile, Smile>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A True, True Friend
2. Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000>>Same
1. This Day Aria>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nothing may ever top this

So yeah there was a bit of shuffling, what with True True Feels I mean Friend making it to number three, thus bumping a few other songs down, Art of the Dress making a move by just being an all-around excellent song, and Bad Seed becoming my new favorite CMC song

Least Favorite Songs

5. Pinkie's Gala Fantasy Song
4. The Ticket Song
3. Junior Speedsters Chant
2. You Got to Share, You Got to Care
1. Piggy Dance

Nothing changed in this one since Season 3 actually had no songs I didn't like (yes unlike most I enjoyed Raise this Barn)

Favorite Characters

10. Photo Finish>>>>>Photo Finish/Fancy Pants/Flim & Flam
9. Fancy Pants>>>>>>Pinkie Pie
8. Applejack>>>>>>>>Rainbow Dash
7. Flim/Flam>>>>>>>>Discord
6. Discord>>>>>>>>>Twilight
5. Twilight>>>>>>>>>Applejack
4. Cadence>>>>>>>Same from here on down
3. Sweetie Belle
2. Rarity
1. Fluttershy

So I decided to lump my favorite one-shots into one slot, because let's face it they're one -shots and not near as developed as the main and recurring characters. Discord, despite falling one spot, I actually like even more now that S3 has put him on the path to becoming the Anti-Hero/Jerk with a heart of gold/reluctant ally to the Mane 6 (now he's like Evangeline from Negima!, only he's a chimera instead of a loli vampire)

Least Favorite Characters

10.????
9. ?????
8. Mulia Mild
7. Hoity Toity
6. The Teenage Dragons
5. Hoops, Score, Dumbbell>>>>Lightning Dust
4. Fleur De Lys>>>>>>>>>>>>>The Teenage Dragons
3. Trixie>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hoops, Score, Dumbbell
2. The Two Valley Girl Ponies>>Same
1. Gilda>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yep she's still here

So I removed all the characters I found boring, and instead made this truly a list of characters I do not like, as opposed to characters I could one day potentially love (probably won't since FIM doesn't have the highest track record of revisiting one-shots but who knows) So Trixie got removed because she was actually entertaining in her episode and Lightning Dust got added because I just really don't like her, everything that annoys me about Dash without any of the payoff. For instance, she doesn't really go well with Fluttershy.

Favorite Pairings:

10. RariJack>>>>>>>>>>>>DisLestia
9. PinkieDash>>>>>>>>>>>Flarity
8. DisLestia>>>>>>>>>>>>PinkieDash
7. FancyRarity>>>>>>>>>Fancy Rarity or RariMac
6. TwiLee>>>>>>>>>>>>>RariTwi
5. LyraBon>>>>>>>>>>>>TwiLee
4. ShiningCadence>>>>>>Same from here on out
3. ScootaBelle (aged up)
2. TwiJack
1. FlutterDash

Dang my Rarity shipping is just all over the map. I ship her with Fluttershy, Twilight, Fancy Pants, AND Big Mac. Maybe it's because I know nopony could say no to her, I mean just look at her :duck:

Least Favorite Pairings:
This list remains exactly the same except for one thing:

10. Pinkie X Mr. or Mrs. Cake
9. Applejack X Any other member of the Apple Family
8. TwiSpike
7. ScootaDash
6. GildaDash
5. GildaShy
4. Sparity
3. TwiLuna
2. TwiArmor
1. TwiLestia & DISCOSHY

While I liked KCFO, I hate how it has made DiscoShy a semi-legitimate ship. Worse yet DiscoShy has generated a flood of fan content and is poised to overtake FlutterMac as the most prominent Het Fluttership, never mind it did in the span of a week, what FlutterMac did in the span on two years. I really don't like this pairing at all and now DiscoShy is tied with TwiLestia for my NOTP.

Hello, Souldin! :twilightsmile:

Let's do this! :pinkiehappy:


I will mark items from my pre-season 3 lists as "old - ",
and items from this post-season 3 lists as "new - "
If nothing is changed for an item I will mark it as "old and new - "
:pinkiesmile:


I'm going to use the following rules, because I can't list my least favorites (except for pairings)
there are a lot of things that I like equally, and I I'm not sure if I can list 10 items for every list:

* if you don't like listing your least favourites, can chose to only your favourites. Just please try to make at least one of the lists.
* You are not required to list 10 of each option;
* While the list is limited to 10 places you can have your choices share places.

We'll see how it will work. Maybe I'll be a little bit cheating... XD
I will have to list more than one song or episodes for an item,
because I like equally some of them, and I just can't choose one.


I won't put villains in those lists.
And I will choose only among all ponies and Spike. Because it's easier for me.

So, here are my lists! :pinkiehappy:

And yes, there is Trixie now on the 6th place with other ponies,
because my feelings about her were changed. :pinkiesmile:


Also, my favorite scene from the finale! :twilightsmile:

I think the bottom four are the only ones I truly dislike. I honestly don't remember much about why I dislike Family Appreciation Day, but I do know I hardly remember that episode at all (something about zap apples). Spike at your Service would have been lower if I didn't like all the characters EXCEPT for Spike in it.

Favourite Pairings
1) FlutterDash

There are other pairings? Blasphemy!

Least Favourite Pairings

Sadly, I can't really think of a least favorite other than what you mentioned about bully pairings with characters I like.

Favourite Songs
10) Evil Enchantress (Flutterguy)
9) Art of the Dress
8) What My Cutie Mark is Telling Me
7) Winter Wrap-Up
6) A True, True Friend
5) This Day Aria
4) Love is in Bloom
3) I've got to Find a Way
2) The Flim Flam Brothers
1) Find a Pet

I really REALLY liked most of the season 3 songs. Babs Seed and Raise this Barn are sitting at 11 and 12. Also, no surprise that my favorite song stars my two favorite characters.

Least Favourite Songs
10) Welcome Wagon
9) Happy Monthiversary
8) Oink Oink Oink
7) Becoming Popular
6) Cranky Doodle Donky
5) Princess Twilight Sparkle
4) Ballad of the Crystal Empire
3) Failure Song
2) BBBFF
1) Main Theme (short)

The lengthy songs I dislike I dislike more strongly than the short ones. Otherwise, it's mostly the short Pinkie songs I don't like. I'm certain songs 8-20 on this list would be comprised entirely of Pinkie songs (though, I might be getting into the ones I do like in the upper teens). Pinkie has my least favorite singing voice out of the entire cast and yet she sings the most often. Oh, and the short intro bothers me more now knowing that there is such an improved full length intro out there.

Favourite Characters
10) Apple Bloom
9) Sweetie Belle
8) Scootaloo
7) Rarity
6) Discord
5) Luna
4) Applejack
3) Pinkie Pie
2) Fluttershy
1) Rainbow Dash

Pegasi are best ponies, what can I say? Twilight WAS my third favorite once upon a time, but that was before I started analyzing the show more in depth and her not being in my top ten has nothing to do with Season 3 (though, it didn't help her case for me either).

Least Favorite Characters
10) Bon Bon
9) Derpy
8) Silver Spoon
7) King Sombra
6) Fleur de Lys
5) Hoity Toity
4) Diamond Tiara
3) Prince Blueblood
2) Gilda
1) Twist

These are all characters I find unlikable, uninteresting, or strike a peeve of mine. I'm going to be that one guy that doesn't care about Derpy (though, I do agree with the sentiment that a particular episode may have been altered for the wrong reasons).

Oh dear. Well this is not going to be easy. Well, I'll just do what I can this time. XD And for least favourites, I'm just going to leave that aside for now, because I really don't have least favourite anything, especially episodes or songs. Sure, I love some more than others, but when I don't love them, I see them as above average and still enjoyable. And they are subject to change since I hardly put them in proper order. XD

For least favourite pairings, I'm just going to chalk it up and say that I don't like GildaDash or GildaShy alongside the bully pairings. Other than that, I'm neutral or just simply don't ship them, while also seeing where some of them are coming from, but don't agree with. For characters, they're givens and I really don't need to list them. XD

That being said, I'm going to focus on other characters and pairings for this one if I can. 8D

So, here we go!

King Sombra gets an honourable mention because he is, to me, the most brilliant villain in the series.

And don't like making "least list" because I don't want to seek weakness in the show :scootangel:

*cracks fingers* Let's do this.

Favorite Episode: Hurricane Fluttershy, because duh, it's Fluttershy.

Least Favorite Episode: A toss-up between MMMystery on the Friendship Express and Too Many Pinkie Pies. Either way, Pinkie just annoyed me too much.

Favorite Pairing: Spilight, or Twispike. It's grown on me, although DoctorDerp is my second favorite.

Least Favorite Pairing: Fluttermac; my hate for said pairing only grows with the amount of Fluttermac fanart I see on DeviantArt daily.

Favorite Song: Smile, Smile, Smile, although the True True Friend song quickly Al Pacino'ed its way into my top 5.

Least Favorite Song: Find A Pet Song. It may sound ridiculous, but there's just way too much talking and not enough singing for me to like it. As a vocalist, I cherish some actual vocals.

Favorite Character: Fluttershy. Seriously, she would have to become Hitler for me to like her less. Twilight still holds that number 2 spot, though.

Least Favorite Character: Gilda and Lightning Dust. Both just plain suck, and neither was redeemed in season 3. Neither deserves it, either.

857726 Congratulations Der_Fur_Shur, you're the first to comment :yay: and as such you are the first I'm to reply to. As with last time I will only comment where I feel I have something worthy saying, and in this case that would probably be where all the changes occur.

Favourite Episodes
10) Just for Sidekicks was truly a great episode, and Corey Powell in general seems to be a great writer to have on the show. Here's hoping her episodes in season 4 remain just as good as her current two works.
9) It's a shame that Last Roundup got kicked off your list by the newer entries but it is great to see that Look Before You Sleep remains on the list, a rather rare episode for people to have in their top ten.
8) I don't know why but Sleepless in Ponyville didn't leave as strong of an impact as I was expecting. It's a good episode and stars my second favourite character as the focus but it isn't one of my favourites for some reason. Still, I can totally understand it being in others top ten lists.

Least Favourite Episodes
6) I can understand if people dislike this episode, while it has its good points it certainly has its flaws as well.

Favourite Songs
10) According to the MLP Wiki the song is actually called Babs Seed, although Bad Seed would be a more fitting title and save people the confusion. As you can see I also love this song, the only odd point being how Scootaloo can sing now (which is disappointing, I liked the fact that there was a character who was bad at singing in a show where the characters often burst into song).
9) Funny enough I've been liking Art of the Dress more and more as of late as well.
3) While I felt all the songs in Magical Mystery Cure were decent, none of them felt good enough to be within my own top ten. I'd say the closest to being in my top ten would be I've Got to Find a Way, however it's a little too short and I felt those scenes would have had a sadder, stronger impact without a song.
1) This Day Aria is a brilliant song indeed. Here's hoping more villains in the future will have songs (although I'm kind of hoping for a character who dislikes singing, and that's more likely to be a villain if they appear).

Favourite Characters
On the subject of Discord, you actually bring up a good point along with a neat comparison of his possible role. The only problem is that there is a general lack of villains in MLP and Discord's powers are OP, even by OP standards... unless they reveal some trick to it like his powers simply being an illusion so strong that even he thinks he has those powers, or if a villain is capable of utilising Friendship somehow.

Least Favourite Characters
5) In regards to Lightning Dust, that’s kind of the point of her character. She is Rainbow Dash but lacking the loyalty or compassion, possibly an example of what Rainbow Dash would have been like without her friends. I felt she lived up to her purpose, to be a parallel of Dash... also she has good villain potential.
3) Not saying anything on the placement of the bully pegasus, but in regards to Trixie, for myself her low positioning (but not low enough to be in my bottom ten) remains the same. They were doing good with how villainous she was in Magic Duel but then they reveal that it was just because of the Alicorn Amulet :facehoof: and without being a villain she kind of loses anything noteworthy or interesting about her.

Favourite Pairings
10) Wait, so RariJack, the ship most prominent this season, has fallen off your list this season :rainbowhuh:. On the subject of DisLestia, as possibly the only positive thing to come about from Keep Calm and Flutter On, I have warmed up to the pairing even more than before due to the possibility of it working as a current day ship and not just a ship to have occurred in the past.
9) I like this ship but... I prefer it as a friendship, consider Rarity as heterosexual (not that I can't see her being with a mare I just feel it harder to do so), and am pretty darn devoted to my FlutterDash. So yeah, it's a likable ship but not one I ship.
8) Mostly the same as with my views on FlArity, minus the heterosexual part. I also feel the shippers are quite validated considering the support for it present in season 1 and Wonderbolt Academy.
7) One of the first ever MLP fanfics I read was a RariMac fanfic... I'm neutral on the ship.
6) I feel it could work, the two characters would work well together, but the matter of Spike complicates things (your older sister figure starts dating your crush, yeah, awkward).
5) TwiLee... fair enough, I don't really have an opinion on this ship.
1) :yay::heart::rainbowkiss:

Well then, let me just say thank you for participating Der Fur Shur, it was an entertaining and well-structured list and I enjoyed hearing your opinions. Thank you very much for commenting. :twilightsmile:

857775 Hello MysteriousBrony, glad to see this comment from you. As with last time I will only comment when I feel there is something worth saying, so in this case that would be all the changes you've made. Let's do this indeed.

Favourite Episodes
6) Games Ponies Play, a nice addition to the list. A bit of a dull first half for the episode but it made up for it as it went along and The Tourist (Ms Peachbottom) was a brilliant character.
5) I love both Just for Sidekicks and Apple Family Reunion so it's nice to see them on your list.
4) Opinions on Spike at your Service have been mixed though it seems you and I both like it.
1) Wasn't that big of a fan of The Crystal Empire (though as I judge even the two part episodes individually, none of them tend to be rated very highly) and as you can see from my list, really not a fan of Keep Calm and Flutter On. Still, your choices are your choices, not mine.

Least Favourite Pairings
3) Your point on not shipping the Mane 6 with anypony outside of the Mane 6 or Celestia and Luna has always been a little odd to me. On one hand it destroys any chance of straight shipping (a lot of Yuri love I guess), and on the other hand I dislike it when the ships play out like that. To explain, I love FlutterDash, TwiPie, and like RariJack, however I do not like seeing FlutterDash, TwiPie and RariJack all in the same story. It feels too convenient and makes the world of the story feel small and insignificant. That's just my take on things though.

Favourite Songs
6) I like Hush Now Lullaby but not the other two, though in the case of The Heart Carol that is more to do with a dislike of the type of song it is and feels like.
5) I wasn't a fan of the Failure Song but true, the reprise was pretty decent.
3) Jolly good to see Raise this Barn on the list, always neat to see others enjoy one of my loved songs of the series.

Favourite Characters
7) Surprising but always pleasing to see The Tourist make her way onto someone's list of liked characters. :pinkiesmile:
6) My opinion on Trixie hasn't changed from its low but not low enough to be bottom ten ranking. She was going up on the list as I watched Magic Duel but then they revealed she was being controlled by the Alicorn Amulet and had her rushed apology, and the only thing I found interesting about her was lost.
4) I did feel season 3 did a much more effective job of presenting the characters of Shining Armour and Princess Cadance.

Well then, that was an enjoyable list to comment on. Thanks for participating MysteriousBrony, thanks for the cute picture, and thanks for commenting. :twilightsmile:

857897 Do not worry about a lack of pre-season 3 rankings my friend, I'm still replying to you and your list all the same. To note though, I will only comment when I feel I have something to say, and my primary focus will of course be on additions that were more than likely affected by the new season (season 3 episodes appearing in your favourites or least favourites are quite obviously affected from having watched season 3). Time to begin with this reply then.

Favourite Episodes
10) An understandable choice, I'm never surprised to see this episode make its way into a top ten list.
7) I personally found this episode to be plain boring... it also doesn't help that I set my expectations to high at the hope for comparisons to my favourite cartoon (a similar problem also happened with MMMystery on the Friendship Express).
6) A good episode for me and while it has its weaknesses it also has its strengths so I can understand it in either case, whether someone dislikes it or in your case, likes it.
2) I'm 100% sure why I didn't enjoy it quite as much as the rest of you blog readers, considering I love Scootaloo and all, but I feel it to be a good episode and can see why you'd have it in your top ten.
1) Perfectly understandable... though slightly less understandable considering your OTP is PinkieDash and not FlutterDash.

Least Favourite Episodes
8) :raritydespair: Why! Why do you dislike this episode? :raritycry:
7) Hmm, I guess I can see why this episode would be in a least favourite list, it does lack a truly big wow moment to it. Its positive factors are also more subdued than other episodes, and take a while to appear.
1) This seems to be a common episode to have at the bottom. I'd argue that its faults are done even worse in Ponyville Confidential but that doesn't really excuse its own faults (for me though it just skims the line of being considered a poor episode... just).

Favourite Songs
9) Of all the songs in the season 3 finale I have no idea why this is the one that keeps appearing in everyone's favourite songs list. Perhaps I was too distracted by the lack of logic in the cutie mark meaning (Rainbow's is flying, not weather control, Rarity's is gem finding, not designing) to feel all the quality and enjoyment others have been able to take from it.
5) Catchy as can be, a good choice to be sure.
1) The only part of this song I like is Rainbow's.

Favourite Characters
10) Wonderful to see Zecora in the list. Might her inclusion have been affected by the number of appearances she had in season 3?
2 and 1) I'm not the least bit surprised by this.

Favourite Pairings
9) RariPie, a rare but lovable ship. Pinkie Pie is just so easy to ship characters with and darn it, my head-canon is that Rarity is straight. Why are there so many good Yuri ships for her (RariPie and RariJack). Also, these are the two funniest characters to have interacting, mostly because they are the two funniest characters in the show.
8) A decent enough ship and one I can understand and enjoy. I personally prefer it as just friendshipping.
5) KickerForth :rainbowhuh:? I'm assuming the latter is Blossomforth but who in the heck is Kicker?
2) The FlutterDash needs to be higher on this list.
1) An understandable ship, there was plenty of support for it in season 1 after all... still can't top FlutterDash though.

Least Favourite Pairings
4) We are in agreement here, although it has gotten better now that the ship feels somewhat plausible now.
3) and 1) Funny enough I don't object much to Twilestia or ScootaDash. In comparison to the likes of other admiration based ships such as SpitDash or SoarDash, I feel it is more plausible in the fact that Twilight and Scootaloo have regularly interacted with the ones they admire, and can understand how that might blossom into romantic feelings.

Even if there was no pre-season 3 listing this was still entertaining to read and reply to. So then, thanks for the listing and comment DashForever. :twilightsmile:

857905 Hello Drankito, you're becoming quite the regular on this here blog. Anyway thanks for participating, even if it is only the second part I still plan to reply to your list. Of course, I will only comment where I feel it is worth saying something and will try to focus on season 3 based additions.

Favourite Episodes
7) I found it to be a good episode but for some reason didn't enjoy it quite as much as others. Glad to see that Scootaloo's first episode is well liked though.
6) Magic Duel was certainly phenomenal, even if Trixie's redemption was rushed as could be (an episode on Trixie trying to redeem herself would have been a much better redemption and forgiveness based episode than Discord's).
5) Speak of the devil and not a fan of this one I can say. Season 3 seems to have crept into your favourite episode list quite a bit.
4) All positioned quite close to each other as well. I can see why you like this episode, although I can also understand if people consider the opposite of this episode.
1) Formulaic as can be, but certainly a fantastically executed episode and deserving of all the love and praise it gets. The lack of season 1 episodes bar this one is actually rather interesting, I don't think I've ever seen a top ten favourite episode list like yours.

Least Favourite Episode
10) I... I really like this episode. Top ten and everything. It was full of SpArity love, and even made me into a FlutterDash shipper.
9) With exception to Spike this episode was wonderful. I guess the reason I can ignore that failing is because the rest of the episode focused on my two favourite qualities, character interactions and comedy.
4) Its not often I see this one in a dislike section but as someone who also dislikes this episode I'm okay with seeing it here.
1) A pretty common one to have at the bottom, it just skims against the poor ranking line for me.

Favourite Pairings
1) :yay::heart::rainbowkiss:

Favourite Songs
6) Again! Why is this the one season 3 finale song that keeps appearing in everyone’s list? I mean, it is a decent song and all, all of the Season 3 finale songs were, but I would probably say this one was my least favourite (maybe because I was too focused on the whole Cutie Mark Meaning confusion).
3) :yay: This is probably my favourite of the season 3 finale song, even if I do feel that the scenes would have been sadder and had more impact without the song.
1) Lovely to see here at the top of your list.

Least Favourite Songs
10) I quite like this song.
9) I really like this song.
Your reasoning for disliking the various songs on your least favourite list is solid though, if you don't like Pinkie's singing it's no wonder you dislike most of these songs.

Favourite Characters
The lack of best pony Twilight Sparkle disappoints me.

Least Favourite Characters
9) I assure you, I have no problem with this. I feel Derpy works best as a 'Where's Wally' addition, rather than as a minor character.
5) I've never understood why this guy keeps making peoples least favourite list. For one of the rich characters (which the show loves to present in a negative light) he is one of the nicer presented characters... or rather a neutral presented character but that is good in comparison to how the other upper class characters are presented.
3) I don't know why but I'm okay with Prince Blueblood.

This be a nice list you have here, thank you for posting them. Also, thanks for commenting Drankito. :twilightsmile:

I'm a regular? Sweet! I'll take the usual flutterdash and adventure story please and thank you!

Yeah, I was surprised by my episode bunching too. 11-13 of favorites were from season 1 (Winter Wrap Up, Cutie Mark Chronicles, Bridle Gossip) and, well, it just sort of happened that way. A few days before you posted your blog, there were a couple Reddit posts that had a 'battle simulator' to sort your favorite episodes and favorite characters so this is what I got. Although I chose to go with what the sims gave me, I still find it interesting to look at as some comparative placements stand out a little just because I think something should be higher/lower, but comparing episodes directly, I'm not sure how much they'd move. Personally, I think my top ten is solid, everything in the next ten is sort of on the same tier, and the same for each tier of ten-ish after.

As for songs, yeah, sorry Pinkie. Though, I did enjoy the "You Gotta Share, You Gotta Care" and "Smile, Smile, Smile" songs. My favorite singing voices are AJ and RD, they feel the most natural to me (and have the same voice actress, no wonder). This is followed by Fluttershy and Rarity, then Twilight Sparkle, then Pinkie.

And as for our new overlord, Princess Twilight Sparkle, the Destined... well... I did really enjoy her character when I first started watching the show, I even had a hard time deciding if she or Fluttershy was my number two. But then I started thinking about the show too much and re-watched it for analysis, partially due to one of my friends absolutely hating on Rainbow Dash and blaming her for everything that ever went wrong in the show (gotta disprove the heresy with solid evidence!) and well, I realized Twilight was at fault for the vast majority of problems (mainly due to being the main character). That isn't the issue of her character for me though. It's mostly due to the fact that she developed into a character much like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory and although I like the Sheldon character in that set up, it felt really distasteful in the pony show as THE main character. This also makes me feel odd because my friends would describe me as the most absurd combination of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle, which makes sense (physics degree, math minor, love of knowledge, teaching, over-explanative, reading, state athlete for football/sprinting/jumping/pole vaulting, obliviousness, ultra-competitive, etc.). Anyway... I don't hate Twilight or anything, I just happen to apparently have her one spot behind her brother. :twilightblush:
