Episode Damage Report: Autism, But Also a Breakthrough


 

 In light of the newest episode being, in the words of one anon, "exactly what a Spike episode always is," the expected amount of drama emerged today soon after the episode "Princess Spike" finished airing. Strangely enough, it was not from Tumblr demanding answers to why the shitlords at DHX Media are sexist. No, this was a more homegrown drama.
Many people were rather dissapointed by the many issues in the episode, the least of which being that the supposed moral didn't actually mean anything and that the things Spike was actually punished for had nothing to do with him being selfish.

People obviously took this to the writers and complained in a completely embarrassing and inappropriately spiteful very insightful and balanced series of tweets, who responded with the following:
IDW Illuminati confirmed?

The reaction to these series of tweets, in addition to the general supposed closeness of IDW staff members and Jim Miller eventually was brought to a head in an hour-long display of pure rage with a strange ending:
Hope springs eternal

This development is without precedent in the fandom, and is an example of either a man seeking to actually alleviate fears or one just trying to get a bunch of people to shut up. Regardless, the conversation happened and the whole drama was over in hours. Only time will tell if the words spoken with Twitter drama will have a long-term effect on the show.

  2. Well, it wasn't a terrible episode. It just got the backwind of the three preceeding episodes that were too good and all the hype simply burned down.

    1. Most people I've seen agree with you, give or take how strongly they feel about the episode's rehashed theme and Spike's punishment and lesson. I liked it myself.

    2. Agreed. It wasn't that great, but at the same time it wasn't horrible. Better than episode 100 in my book at least.

      Delete
    3. Hah! Wow, we disagree there. Episode 100 is probably the best episode I've seen so far, barring the season premiere. Holy shit, that episode was nothing but fun. You could've even removed the Mane 6 and it would've still been great.

  3. With these wankers at the helm I can already imagine a solo episode with Spike: spike grows up a bit, remembers the lesson he learned from Secret of my Excess - that he can anything he wants by force, kidnaps Rarity, takes her to the forest and rapes her in the ass, mane 5 race to save their friend, catch Spike in the act, tell him it is very unfriendship-like, Spike cries realizing that "anuses heal, friendships - do not", the end, post titles he rapes Princess Celestia - 'cuz Spike never learns shit.

  4. Until there is a solid spike episode where he isn't an unlikable butt of all jokes, this will just keep happening.
    And Jim needs to just get the fuck off twitter already.

  5. Just have an entire episode where Spike runs around hurriedly opening doors in search of somepony, cumulatively smashing every character who has ever done him an unjustice into a wall without realizing it, okay? It's obviously the only way he can get any respect in the eyes of The Triggered.

  6. Lay off on Spike. He's one of the main characters of the show. And season 5 is going downhill. Hasbro and DHX Media is a racism, a sexism, a savages and a barbarian since 2013 and the third season scandal. And two dorks directors Jayson Thiseen and Big Fat Liar Jim Miller are getting fired! And we miss James "Wootie" Wootton, he's a nice director in the first three seasons rather than those two dorks directors.

    1. I'm just as surprised that you even reported on my twitter feud with him.

    2. You got him to talk about shit. Why would I not?

    3. It's a little funny, because I didn't even address him directly that time. I just threw some real talk around with another guy and he called me out on it. Now I'm arguing at length about the merits of fan feedback with Nick Hunter because of that exchange.

  9. BREAKING NEWS! Princess Spike is now the lowest views in MLP history, 260k! Slice of Life 418k, Castle Sweet Castle 418k, Make New Friends But Keep Discord 307k, and now Princess Spike 260k. Four episodes of season 5 are the Worst Episode Ever! 3 more episodes and MLP:FIM will be cancelled for good after 104 episodes in 5 years and what really grind my gears. Don't believe me, look it up on boards.4chan.org/mlp/-pony.

  10. Mr. Itsthinking, I found something you must read on "Today Unicorn and Alicorn Twilight have been canon for equal lenghts 2 years, 6 months, and 4 days." on board.4.chan.org/mlp/-pony

    Celestia and Luna are only 2 alicorns that will lived forever.

    Twilicorn SUCKS! Seriously Meghan McCarthy sucks, writers sucks, for letting her got things her way not speaking up and Hasbro sucks.

    Making Twilight look strong is bad for the show and Twilight stills a Mary Sue.

    Someone like Larson needs to tell her enough is enough with her obsession over her, but Larson is whitty have as well for not standing up to her. It well turner into more talks about how Twilicorn must die or end it all for good.
    Twilight is getting worse and worse as a character.

    The powerful member of the brony fandom is Sethisters, he had the ultimate voice to speak out against McCarthy and just need him to see how badly they've handle her. People are still butthurt over Twilicorn. The bronies are still grudge against McCarthy. The writers will say"Get out of here, McCarthy, you're no welcome here." The Twilicorn is over!

    In The S5 Finale

    Starlight Glimmer's new villain will corrupt ponies around Equestria and Discord back to evil and he's on Starlight's side the whole time and made Fluttershy very upset and cried.

    Twilight tried to stop him, but he corrupting Twilight.

    She goes to Canterlot seeking for Princess Celestia's help, but she can't handle anymore and cause Twilight upset and she's taking Celestia's place.

    Princess Celestia got scared and she's got to Ponyville to ask the Mane 5 and Spike to help Twilight to snap out the corruption, but Twilight beats the Mane 5 and Celestia, but Spike still is free.

    He then starts taking sense to Twilight and she is free and apolegizes, free everyone after that Princess Celestia recognizes that the Mane 5 and Twilight ashamed, and says she shouldn't be a princess anymore and Twilight is turn now a unicorn again.

    It would be nice if Twilight and friends would be least be recognized as heroes.

    Just once I want to see McCarthy answer her hard questions, Give her a chance to defend her actions and forces her to make Twilight a unicorn again or she's fired!

    S6 will be the same like S1 and S2

    "Big Ed" Jim Miller and M.A. Larson are most likely suspects. But they will tell McCarthy about angry criticize still hates Twilicorn. She's a self-centered lying jackass honestly.

    Meghan McCarthy is NOT the next George Lucas. She'll ended up like Vickie Guerrero, and she's dumber than a brony. But she need to start listening to criticism. If more people speak up about her mistake, then she'd have to start listening to us. M. A. Larson and "Big Ed" Jim Miller will be the new show runner for Season 6.

    1. Man, I'm 4 days late reading this.

      I still have to wonder if english is his first language or not. While I can feel sorry for him, reading those blocks of text hurt my brain with how badly they're written.

      While I hate agreeing with any of his points, I did prefer Twilight as a unicorn in her adventure/slice of life episodes. Even liked her constant letters to Princess Celestia. It would take a reboot of the series or magically undoing a lot of stuff to change it back.

      If Twilight became a unicorn again, it would probably make a lot of autists happy. They could even sell the older dolls of her. She seemed a lot more well rounded personality wise in the first 3 seasons, but also had more episodes about her.

      At least there are more Applejack/Rarity/Rainbow Dash.. Fuck it, more episodes about the mane 5, CMC, and Spike now that Twilight is out of the way.

      Who in the hell is Sethisters?

      Also to the person who wrote all that. You already made your point 100 times already, spamming it 1000 more times isn't gonna change the show. I do feel sorry for you, but maybe in 10 or 20 years there will be another MLP reboot or generation 5. Maybe someday we'll find out how Lauren Faust wanted to end the series.

    2. I didn't read half of it, but I'm of the same mind as you. However I'm sick of wallowing in that and expecting people to join in instead of just enjoying the show.

      I had a nonsense dream that HN wrote an editorial talking about how Twilycorn is better than unicorn Twilight and you're a faggot for wanting the latter, the "nonsense" part being something along he lines of "even Twilycorn wouldn't like old Twi". I guess my heart is still in the past even while I'm trying to look ahead.

    3. Shut up, you two! This anon have look up on 4chan and he write about the truth about why the show is going downhill. And why Twilicorn is still sucks.
