Even though I plan to go more into detail on these writers (and the five best writers in my opinion) on my DeviantArt account come Monday, this list still needed to be updated. With the positions of many writers on the show changing overall after Season 9 this list needed to be updated. Here's the third version, from a season ago. Let's see what changed. And as always, I mean no disrespect to anyone at

How fitting to do this on Pinkie Pie Day on Equestria Daily (this was not intentional on my part). I'm aware that there are expys for other characters and we'll definitely talk about them over the next few days. But Pinkie Pie got the most expys out of anyone, even more than Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy despite the former being the main character and the latter being insanely popular. Whenever a character gets popular there's always attempts to create other characters based on him or her, and

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy got a lot of expys, and Rainbow Dash did too. It might just be because it's easy to make variations of their character types (it's a lot harder to do it for someone as complex as Rarity or as straight mareish as Applejack, which may be why they don't have more than two or three expys at best). Anyway, Rainbow Dash got a grand total of ten expys officially (not counting comics exclusive characters or any Equestria Girls characters since even Indigo Zapp didn't quite get

So it is that we round out the mane six with a look at all the songs Twilight Sparkle sang, which includes those done by her human counterpart dubbed Sci-Twi by the fans. And no, the theme song doesn't count (not even the extended version). That still leaves a total of fourteen songs done by either version of the character. Like all the previous ones, this isn't just a personal enjoyment ranking but also how well each song works as a representation of the character. And of course, like with

Pinkie Pie boasts the most songs out of any mane six/seven/eight character with a whopping 26! And that's not counting group songs. Naturally, some are better than others, but determining which ones are good and which ones are bad (if any) is not easy. Like with my Rarity songs list, I'm considering how these songs work as a character representation for Pinkie in addition to how good (or bad) a song they are. And as always, this is purely the result of my personal opinion so please respect it.

Well this is going to be a harder list to do than probably any other thanks to that poorly handled twist they pulled off with Discord in the finale. I know people are probably getting sick of thinking about it, but it really goes to show how a poorly thought out plot twist can single handedly destroy so much about a character and hurt so many other things unintentionally. In any case, this list is due for an update, and even now that we now "The Best Gift Ever" is counted as an episode the fact

I haven't really done much in regards to stuff involving Equestria Girls, let's do something about that. This is a list of the top five best songs from the franchise so far, as well as the top five worst. The overall quality of the movie doesn't affect where the songs will end, the movie could be really bad but have a good song, or be really good but have a bad song. And remember, as always, this is just my opinion, and I mean no disrespect to the DHX staff.

Now that I've corrected the error for Earth Ponies and put Star Tracker where he belongs, it's time to see which unicorn takes his place on the list. Like with the list for Earth Ponies I posted yesterday, this one is just a correction not a completely brand new version. And the same rules as my other top ten lists apply. (Honorable mentions go to: Twilight Velvet, Stygian, Sassy Saddles, Fancy Pants, Coriander Cumin, Saffron Masala, Sugar Belle, and Party Favor)

When a show comes back from hiatus and starts up the next batch of episodes, you need to make sure you've got something good to lure audiences back and prevent a drop off. For this show, much as the mid season finale has become an important (and sadly underutilized) tradition in recent years, so too has the mid season premiere. We've got 7 to consider.

It's amazing how much can change in the span of a season for a character. Season 9 has undisupitably been Spike's best season, the little guy has been on a role with almost nothing to slow him down (though for whatever reason he was not included in "Rainbow Roadtrip" even though it's the salvaged sequel to the movie where Spike was a character). Ultimately, he got four more focus episodes this season, which bumps his total up to 20, still the least amount of focus episodes out of any mane seven

This list definitely needed an update after Season 9, which while it ultimately didn't give us many new villains did us give us a lot to consider and even cemented at least one villain's redemption. Again, I will not be including villains on the level of "So bad they're good" or "Love to hate", no reformed villains will appear, and Grubber and Capper were never really villains or did anything villainous (the former in particular had no reason to exist) so they will not appear. You know the

Shining Armor and Cadence's introduction was but the first of many fandom drama inducing moments, to this day there are still those who hate them or insist they have no character (which I absolutely detest, they do in fact have character and in Cadence's case the attempts at "fixing" this problem ended up aliennating me from her). Even so they've had quite a few episodes (though Cadence has gotten two episodes devoted solely to herself, which we talked about on the princesses list), a total of

With Chapter 5 of Make Your Mark slated to debut tomorrow with a considerable amount of focus on Misty from what's been shown, it's only fitting to take a look back at the episodes that have starred her more or less. It's entirely possible she'll also be the star of "Secrets of Starlight", which appears to be the name of the Chapter 6 special coming in November. Anyway, Misty has had a total of four episodes that definitively focus on her to some extent. Which ones have brought out the best in

G5 hasn't had as many villains yet compared to G4, but then again G5 could be going for a quality over quantity approach when it comes to villains. Yes, villains is plural, there's more than one to talk about even if one in particular has been commanding the most attention. For the record, villains is different from antagonists. Antagonists can include anyone who's ever opposed the protagonist for any reason, it doesn't necessarily mean they're outright evil like villains (or borderline evil).

0/10 - AWFUL (unsalvageable, nothing to be gained from watching it, never should have been made, wouldn't recommend to anyone, completely butchers an important subject/teaches a horrible and downright toxic moral)
1/10 - HORRIBLE/BORING (tedious to sit through, hurts to watch it, a bore, no reason to watch it, whatever positive things about it are tiny and not enough to save it)
