In one scene, the devil is like "What is a Fluttershy?" and in another scene he's like "This is something far more evil than Hasbro". It doesn't add up in my mind and it feels to me like it's strictly there for criticism or a punchline.Arturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660813614072812727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-37573257579016972482013-03-17T22:52:45.303+00:002013-03-17T22:52:45.303+00:00It's always sad when somebody lets their anger...It's always sad when somebody lets their anger speaks the words.

Remember the topic of my previous editorial. Focus. Don't focus just on the bad stuff.<br /><br />There's a lot of bronies who loved season 3, like me. You don't need to look hard to find them.

The S3 is the first season where I liked ALL the episodes (one more, one less but anyway I liked them all), but I'm starting to think that bronies are not the same that they were months ago.... The brony fandom has become the headquarter of harrogance and jerkism. Even in my forum in my country (I'm italian) some bronies lost their minds recentely, some of my friends... I can't recognize them anymore.... I can't believe this has happened. I won't listen to any words that CR or any brony will say, I'll listen only what my heart is saying. I'll continue to love and support the show, and I will continue to support your reviews, but for me the brony fandom is dead forever.

He also hated "Magic Duel" and "Magical Mystery Cure", so what he said about M.A. Larson being his favorite writer doesn't apply anymore. He said so in his Twitter.<br /><br />In the end, it's his opinion, and I respect it. If he explained himself a little bit better it would be great, be he is still silent about it.James Corckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16994731268585922124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-6521168395842374802013-03-10T15:53:34.121+00:002013-03-10T15:53:34.121+00:00Tell me James.... it's true that Chad Rocco ha...Tell me James.... it's true that Chad Rocco has insulted publically the crew of the show and Pixelkitties?

Because he won't stop going on this tirade that's he on about Season 3 being the worst thing ever and he'll deny any crap from the previous seasons to do it. Let's be honest, even though Friendship is Magic Parts 1 and 2 and The Ticket Master had Lauren Faust writing them, they weren't faultless. She's a wonderful animator, writer and turned a crappy franchise into something unthinkably awesome, but she's not infallible or perfect. CR seems to act like it was all hunky-dory when she was involved and there were no faults with the show when she was in full involvement. I know for a fact that it took quite a number of bronies to really warm up to the show at least 7 or 8 episodes in. Not everyone loved it straightaway. It was the rest of the staff (the writers, animators, storyboarders and directors) who are still working on the show now who made it the good, fun show it is and even though there were a number of things wrong with Season 3, there are many intelligent people who could find just as much wrong with the previous seasons before Hasbro really started to take more control.<br />I actually feel Spike at your Service and Games Ponies Play were worse than Wonderbolt Academy even though they each had some good moments. But again, CR doesn't want to acknowledge those moments or any good things to come out of Season 3 because he just wants a chance to really moan and become the Casutic Critic I despise! I hate that critic cliche of someone who just feels they watched the cartoon/TV show/whatever media outlet equivalent of the Holocaust. It's ignorant hyperbole at it's worst and the fact it's now being done by someone who loved the show really angers me. This doesn't mean I think CR is the Distressed Watcher all of a sudden, it just means life imitated art and he's become the miserable little nerd he once made fun of. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some Fiery Joker reviews to watch!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-19734548627215606452013-03-07T01:24:58.694+00:002013-03-07T01:24:58.694+00:00So which season three was CR watching cos I found ...So which season three was CR watching cos I found it to be a good season sure it had some bad episode like Wonderbolt Academy but come on it also had in my option the best episode of the entire show Sleepless in Ponyville, I'm sorry but how can anyone hate that one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-30680509681987699232013-03-06T23:15:14.521+00:002013-03-06T23:15:14.521+00:00Also, I kinda want to take credit for bringing up ...Also, I kinda want to take credit for bringing up CR in this forum in the first place, but I don't wanna jump the gun.Arturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660813614072812727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-62920587215378889562013-03-06T23:09:53.768+00:002013-03-06T23:09:53.768+00:00Also, it really feels like everyone on the Interne...Also, it really feels like everyone on the Internet should've made up their minds a long time ago whether they like, don't like, or are indifferent to MLP. At this point, anytime MLP shows up in media outisde of the fandom, it's usually as a punchline regarding the show's subject matter or it's "weird" fans. <br />And honsetly, from an outsider's (non-brony) perspective, if there's one thing sadder than watching a bunch of (mostly) grown men talking about how much they LOVE a children's show, it's watching a bunch of (mostly) grown men talking about how much they HATE a children's show.<br />In all honestly, I can't wait for the day in which the rest of the world/Internet will finaly cut this show a break and just let it be. The less attention the show gets from outside its fandom, bronies or otherwise, the sooner we can all put an end to this pointless bickering.Arturohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660813614072812727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1106648781852702786.post-29737317823349037972013-03-06T23:00:28.575+00:002013-03-06T23:00:28.575+00:00Yeah, this pretty much nails it.

The fact he has gone this way after seeming to be like one of the more level-headed and fair reveiwers out there is really disheartening.<br /><br />I was really enjoying that Son of the Mask Nostalgia Critic review until that leather-jacket clad little gonk showed up. The fact he's compared the show now to Batman and Robin (one of the stupidest pieces of hyperbole I've heard in a while) and directly bashing Meghan McCarthy and MA Larson over Twitter is pathetic. You don't see Spoony publically bashing Square Enix's Twitter (but he will go after his own fans and colleagues when he's pushed over the top) and he despises the modern Final Fantasy games!<br /><br />The fact you said he's become his own parody of Super Nerds just made him go from people laughing with him to at him is just indicative of his own pent-up bitterness that a lot of critics have (You have it towards Shyamalan, you know it James, I don't care how much you've calmed down as a critic, you still wish he'd die the most painful death possible) and how cruel he really is (The PixelKitties thing made me wanna punch my monitor). You say he's an alright guy, I've seen many reviewers better than him who I've talked to and are nice people through and through and they're all on smaller review sites or on Youtube!<br /><br />I don't usually get this mad but when someone is this against a season which many intelligent, insightful and way nicer people have said is not such a bad season as he's making it out to be, it makes me really pissed off with him and the other bronies like him who've left the fandom over this. Good riddance I say! We don't need their shallow, miserable selves here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
