Season 3 premier? It was...BAD.
Not horrible, but it was a bit disappointing, honestly.
There was too much focus on Twilight Sparkle, and it makes the steaks feel lessened when the rest of the mane six don't have as much riding on their success. While I'm happy for Twilight, to quote her no-talent nemesis, "Was there ever any doubt?" I think it would have been better if not only the king returned, but that he not just stop at the Crystal Empire, and move on to griffons, Equestria, and the rest of the land. NO ONE SHOULD BE SAFE.
Speaking of which, the evil King who's name escapes me is probably one of the most boring villains in the series, and even the least threatening. That means a lot when you're being compared to a villain that wanted to turn the real world into YouTube Poop. He's not as powerful as Discord, he's not as imposing as Nightmare Moon, and he's not as cunning as Queen Chrysalis, he's not even bringing something new to the MLP table, like cruelty. He's just some black-magic baddie that really belongs in a Hanna Barbera cartoon, and even that's giving him too much credit. Also, why does every single thing in the show happen exactly 1000 years ago? Can't we get a more ancient evil, like from millions of years ago, or from TEN thousand years ago? Also, couldn't they have just used the elements of harmony on him? Was he always evil? There's just too many unanswered questions.
So yeah, I really hope the rest of Season 3 is better than this.

Yeah, it's a good show! Rob himself is the story editor - was that said already?

Hey, I heard something recently.
I heard that Disney is now attempting to buy out MLP, just like they did Marvel and Star Wars and various other stuff. What do you think of that?
I hope they do soon. If they do, it will probably ruin this whole MLP thing and end the Brony stuff once and for all. Then I will be so happy to see it all end, while my actually cool and awesome stuff still goes on, being awesome.

You are being petty kyubey on both sides. You can say you annoyed by it wishing it to stop but hatred like that is bad you should need a time out. If it smothers you can ask for the person to please stop leave or ask why. You should know why it is good by now. If it not your cup of tea well you can’t please them all but if you call it bad I had to disagree with you big time. Second you insult Disney who are doing job at this time. They produce the Avengers movies which will be the stepping point movies to evolve. They brought back Oswald the Lucky Rabbit which is reminder of their past that nearly everyone forgot. Now to Agai thinking about it now and listening to few reviews I am reconsidering my opinion. I consider King Sombe remain of a storm like the nothing from Never Ending story. That I though he sounded like that because Luna and Celestria gave him one heck of a beat down. They did ban him into the Arctic which I felt they did by throwing him there like a missile. They did not use the elements this time. Luna was in bad mood since she was starting to become nightmare moon at that time. one good point is that he was sealed redeemed or send flying Team Rocket Style. He was killed or would become a ghost whichever the story chooses. Could have he gone better yes but they were just going for a simple villain this time with no chance of redemption who was mortal once. That can be argued that Discord was too hearts and hooves hint.

Yeah, Kyubey, that was pointlessly mean spirited. Why does it matter to you if other people like something you don't, isn't it their right to like whatever they like? And for that matter, what exactly makes your stuff so 'cool and awesome'? That's INSANELY subjective, just because YOU like it doesn't make it better than something someone else likes. Also, how would you feel if someone just said that they hoped one of your favorite shows would get ruined. You don't have to like MLP, but you don't have to be a jerk about disliking it either.

Okay, sorry about that guys. Yeah, that was a bit of a jerk move of me there to mention that.
I think I'll just refrain from posting in this topic in the future.

Bronies would wreck their pants with glee if the Spider-Man crossovers (NSFW language) were made canon.

....On a lighter note, "Magic Duel" was freakin' AWESOME. It brought back characters that we originally thought would be one-offs, cleared up some terminology (At least for me. I always thought Alicorn meant a unicorn's horn.) had great special effects, and concluded in a way that was both comedic and satisfying.

Agreed, it completely cemented my opinion that M.A Larson is the best writer the show has, and oddly enough it actually made me into a Trixie fan, when before I couldn't understand her popularity. Also...I've gotta' be honest, her whole revenge was a little justified, though she obviously went off the deep end after winning(whether that was the amulet talking or not is a matter of debate). Anyway, it was nice to see her repent at the end, and I genuinely hope the show brings her back later so they can finish out her character arc by showing her completing her path to redemption. It also had some great comedy("The Great and Powerful Trixie doesn't trust wheels."), and made better use of the side characters(particularly Zecora) than any episode yet this season. Here's hoping that this week's Scootaloo-centric episode is even half as good as it's predecessor, because "Magic Duel" is probably among the five best episodes in the series so far.
Also, for anyone else that reads comics, I picked up the IDW Pony comic last week while getting a couple of Batman-family titles I'd previously neglected, and I have to say it's pretty decent. The characterization is a little off in places, and the pacing isn't particularly good, but it still has the spirit of the show and its definitely worth giving a look, especially if you liked the Season 2 finale.

Saw the episode of the Apple Family Reunion it surprising to know who is in the apple family. Turnip Truck is part of the Apple family. Sweetie Drops and Cherry Berry may be possible honorary family members have to double check the episode.

I read about that. It is a non cannon spin-off. I wait to see how it goes. You think they are going with alternate universe or magical pocket dimension.

Found out that the equestrian girls reason for getting Twlight’s crown. The series is a crusade quest for mcguffin plot. I also heard that it is straight to DVD movie not a spin off series from the latest rumors. The next season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic will be in the winter.
