condensing the episodes down to like 10 minutes would have helped the show be not as... strained
also, better writing generally
but of course it is a show for 6 year olds, so great writing would be... you'd rather have the writers putting their talents where they would be appreciated
most of the show's writers had worked on other shows previously, whatever deficiencies you see might be what Hasbro wanted them to write
I am more apt to blame them because they are a soulless toy company
And I really do think that there should be more good art for kids, and i think that MLP:FIM is a good example of good art for kids (maybe? im no longer a kid so)
but it does not please my sensibilities as an adult person
so when i am making critiques here in terms of the writing, i am speaking in terms of "this is what it would need to make me enjoy it" even though my enjoyment is wholly irrelevant to the whole enterprise
I don't mind it for the most part, but I suppose that's at least partially because I tend to use it as a way to cope with unhappiness, and when you're doing that, you don't really want anything too complicated.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
It isn't, but it really doesn't serve the style and what they're going for.
You have these ultra-detailed toy-like figures, and not only do their lips not move, their whole bodies don't move. Go basically uses just still frames to represent its non-human characters.
Animated is cheap, but it's simple and cartoony and the cheapness serves it.

There's two meters of "Worth Watching."
There's "Money To Burn." At the lowest end, you have Go, which has a single .5 dollar bill per episode like the Little Match Girl. At the highest end, you have Bayformers, which just burns money by the mountain every five seconds.
There's "Gives A Fuck." At the lowest end, you have G1, which is not to disparage it, because there were no fucks in existence for fucks to trade, and they were inventing the idea of fucks in the first place. At the highest end, you have IDW's comics, which are incredibly dense with characters and concepts from wildly different properties and mediums.
To me, Prime and GI Joe vs. Transformers is like, 50/50 on both meters.
some people here clearly have no idea what their tshirts with english on actually say
yesterday i saw a dude in a shirt that said 'I USED TO BE A HOOKER' in huge letters and a dad out with his family in a shirt that said 'Heroin: great quality and popularity'
I tried to get on a train and the whole platform was full of people with suitcases cramming onto a three carriage train. I only wanted to go Stockport, damnit!

I give up on this bit of homework. I can't do it. I don't give a fuck about public opinion and opinion polls, and thus I have nothing to say about them.
On another train, sat on a small seat near the doors because two of the carriages are empty with reserved seats, whilst the other two are unreserved and crammed full.
Stories I'd rather read in the Marvel Universe than another punch-up
* a psychic using their powers to translate for a nonverbal autistic kid.
* police developing ways to solve cases involving mutants who haven't done anything "call in the avengers" worthy. like embezzling
* a week in the life of an average Wakandan
* a network of internet friends trying to investigate the disappearance of a friend who also claimed they were a superhero
* a scientist and a wizard traveling the world and falling in love while they try to create the Magi-mechanical Golem
* a crew of grave robbers who try to steal superhero/supervillain memorabilia and sell it before they inevitably come back from the dead
* an intern at an ad agency uses "cyclops was right" as a slogan for not-GAP, and now the ad agency has to deal with the media fallout for supporting a terrorist (he is considered a terrorist after that whole AvX thing, right Kraken?)
* a morlock escapes to the surface in pursuit of a supermodel he saw on a discarded magazine. his friends have to capture him before he or they are caught by the authorities
* a movie crew trying to film an Avengers movie (yes, I am willing to accept something this meta)
* a handful of rich twentysomethings attend a transhumanist sanitarium whose leader is charismatic and yet very, very, very mad

I just feel kinda strongly on this subject, and I guess it blinds me in times like this.

Logic.
Very picturesque.
