calzephyrI finally wrapped up My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic five years after the show ended. S9 never arrived on Netflix and I didn't want to watch it on Prime because Jeff Bezos doesn't need any more of my money. Somehow, the last season ended up on YouTube and I binged right away!
Season 8 wasn't my favorite--the school of friendship really felt too much like a Harry Potter fan fiction crossover with ponies but there were some good episodes. Season 9 felt like a mixed bag as well--it's always weird when the writers make the ponies do something out of character and zap years of character growth. Although it lacked the charm and humour of earlier seasons, the villian story arc was pretty good and I was surprised the show actually touched on Daring Do and Dr. Caballeron stealing artifacts while Ahuizotl bemoaned his inability to protect his culture.
The last episode was sweet and satisfying, so that's all I really could ask of the series after so many years :-)
