Confession. · 5:34pm Oct 4th, 2016
Alright, I need to get this out of my system and you all deserve to know. The reason why I am making all these nostalgia blogs? I am getting disillusioned with Seasons 5 and 6 due to the show quality not getting as good as the previous seasons. Especially Season 6. At first, I was okay with Starlight being one of the good guys but after taking Twilight's place as the main friendship-building episode character I am starting to dislike her and wishing she was still a villain. I also never liked Twilight's new palace, it still doesn't suit Twilight's character in my opinion.
Now you know my true feelings of post-Tirek FIM. So from now on, at least when it comes to me, Twilight's castle never existed and a new humble library/house was built for Twilight.
I will still follow the show and still be part of the fandom, but I will not expect myself to enjoy the next episodes like I enjoyed the first four seasons the first time. Still, I hope that I am wrong and that I will enjoy the next episodes.
I do not blame you my friend, and to honest there is a lot of the current seasons I don't care for. Starlight really should have stayed a villain, she a mere mortal was able to bring Equestria to it's knees? I want more of that. Yes forgiveness of a foe is admiriable, but there sometimes that you just can't.
I suppose the difference between Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer is that Sunny has earned her forgiveness and redemption, Starlight hasn't.
Now back to Kantai

And as I said, I was okay with redeeming Starlight at first but her episodes started to feel very rushed and seem to serve only to replace Twilight for friendship learning episodes.

She needs another story arc to herself?
4241156 I don't know. I'm just not happy with this season lately, baring the few great episodes like Gauntlet of Fire.
4240528 Okay, after doing some quiet thinking today at work I think I found out the reason why I didn't enjoy Seasons 5 and 6 as much as the previous seasons. I really enjoyed FIM when it was just about Twilight and her friends learning about friendship and defeating threats using the amplified power of friendship instead of having them travelling the world teaching about friendship and forgiveness. I think that is the reason why.
