I've been doing this for several seasons now, with half a season done it's time to see how Season 8 compares to all of its predecessors. Like always, this list is purely the result of my personal opinion, so feel free to disagree. First, let's look at how the episodes stack up for Season 8 from worst to best.

13. Non-Compete Clause
12. Marks for Effort
11. Fake It 'til You Make It
10. Grannies Gone Wild

Having picked up a handful of comics for my birthday, expect to see reviews on them for the next few days, all of them "Friends Forever". As always, we begin with a bit of a look back to the state of the fandom and even the world when necessary.

Now that we've gotten the second half of Season 7, it's time to re-evaluate where some of the characters stand. Here's the fourth version, from mid Season 7. You know the drill, this list is purely the result of my opinion so please respect it but feel free to disagree. And as always, it's not easy to place certain characters in certain spots.

It's been a long time since I did a comics review, the last one was all the way back in December, just after Christmas. And it's been almost half a year (maybe longer) since I covered an issue of the Legends of Magic series, which aside from an annual slated for release this month, is done (it's apparently going to be replaced by a five part series related to the "Ponyville Mysteries" books). As always, the review begins with a retrospective.

From 2014 to 2016, from the end of Season 4 to the start of Season 6, from the un-eventful mid-terms to the open presidential election, from the pre-Starlight and map era, to the post-Starlight and map era. These are just some of the changes for the next Friends Forever issue I'm covering. With the show coming back for a turbulent sixth season, the main series of comics had just wrapped up an underwhelming two parter that was supposed to foreshadow "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" but didn't. And

I picked up several IDW comics for Christmas, and like always I'm going to be doing reviews of them until I've exhausted the stack of them. Like always, I begin these reviews with a bit of a retrospective. This one is particularly interesting, because of what has come out in the show since it was released.

With 2018 coming to a close and a few more high profile deaths in the form of Stan Lee and George H. W. Bush, everyone was ready to leave behind another bad year. But to the surprise of fans the show had something up its sleeves for the hiatus, a series of "encore shorts" that were loosely tied to the "Best Gift Ever" special. Meanwhile, the comics were settling in for a new year with the promise of a return to the four parter adventure story, and another mini series to take the place of

Just like the last time I did this list there's no additional episodes from any prior seasons to add to the list this time around, so we're only adding the Season 9 episodes that to me were just not good or even decent. Here's Version 5, so you can see what episodes from Season 8 were flunked. Like always, this list is the result of my personal opinion, and I mean no offense to anyone at

I wrote a story about a rp me and my friend did on fimfiction, some person decided to favourie it without reading it

I absolutely hate that, like i rather have a negative comment then a fake favourite because maybe i can build up from the negative. But nope, instead i got a fake fucking opinion! Thanks man! Thanks for lying!

So the release of the much-dreaded Pony Life is upon us, and as expected, the fandom is going into a panic/outrage.

My only question is: why?

Animation isn't a genre. It's an art medium that one can tell any story with. It annoys the hell out of me that execs/boomers think that animation is automatically catered towards kids. And for them to also think that animation should have typical themes like sex, drugs, and violence for it to cater towards adults is ridiculous AF.

I got two pony comics for my birthday and this is one of them. As of now this is the last one I intend to pick up for the main series, because although the first issue delving into "Season 10" has finally come out I'm still waiting to see how the overall arc turns out before deciding if it's worth my time as there's been multiple comic arcs that started out promising only to fall apart at the end. And as always with these reviews, there's a bit of a retrospective on the state of the fandom at

I've noticed a lot of people seem to hate RD or some other member of the mane six or some other character due to how they acted in certain episodes, and while I have those frustrations myself, I feel like people are taking this too seriously, and putting it on the characters when in reality, its on how piss poorly Hasbro manages the MLP writing team.

As the G4 comics appear to be more or less wrapping up for good with the end of Generations, it really is sad to see what was once a source of creativity that arguably eclipsed the show's end on such a disappointing no, resorting to a ratings trap for comics to try to lure in readers. So I think it's all the more imperative to look back on when the comics were actually good, particularly in the side series. Having obtained the final micro series comic, published all the way back in December of

What do you guys like the most? Normal ponies, anthropomorphic, or humans stories?

"Bradybunch, everyone's already given their opinions on it!" Yeah, I know. But before I left the site for two years for a mission, AI was barely cohesive enough to give slurred and static-like voice replication, nonsensical chatbots, and meaningless swirls of shape and color for art. Then, all of a sudden, AI got really good, so I had to try it out. I'm using Bing's AI image generation, which is so far the only reason to actually use Bing. I've used prompts from epic to funny to generate dozens

This Wednesday, I attended a Facebook livestream called Love Thy Neighbor: A Webinar on SOGIE Equality as a Religious Value. SOGIE stands for sexual orientation and gender identity expression. The speakers consisted of leaders who represent 4 different religions and they shared stories about people who experienced discrimination and struggles. It was very informative and I agree 100% with one of the speakers, who happens to be the pastor of MCC, that one needs to take into consideration if the

Back at the beginning of this year, I put down a wall of shame for FiM featuring episodes from Seasons 1-4. With Season 5 having ended, and Season 6 not likely to be due out anytime soon, I think it wouldn't hurt to update the list now.

If you're curious, here's the first wall of shame. Let's see what will be added this time around.

2015 started off with still no information about Season 5's airdate, leaving the comics to try and recover from a less than stellar Wild West arc, and the infamous 2014 Equestria Girls Holiday special, on their own.

Starting off the year was Friends Forever #13, featuring Rarity and Babs Seed. Did this issue manage to restore faith in IDW, start them on a path of decline, or something in between?

Well, let's find out.

As the main series was putting an end to the disappointment that was Ponies of Dark Water (a disappointment that would not be topped until Fire Over Yakyakistan), the Friends Forever series was puttering along, still mostly bouncing up and down in quality from issue to issue. With Friends Forever #30 being yet another comics issue that tried (badly I might add) to give Cadence "character", this exciting team up between Rainbow Dash and Little Strongheart seemed likely to elevate
