>>6450 >Personally I rely on Silverquill for laid-back reviews, but ... say on it´s not like my reviews/commentaries are revolutionary nor anything like that. In fact, I display quite a lot of bias and sometimes, I don´t dig the actual episode all that much because I tend to focus more on the ideas behind the writing and/or production. I have quite a lot of faults when it comes to pointing out when a character is OOC or not unlike other anons, not to mention that these comments are meant to sound familiar. My comments are not intended to reach beyond what? 4 or 5 users who happen to read these posts around here? Furthermore, considering that DHX doesn´t exist as a brand anymore and FiM is a thing of the past, I don´t see any profit by getting excessively mad and sending death threats to people who can´t modify the show anymore. So even if you hold the rage that you have within your body, it´s not worth doing any of that.
I used to watch brony youtubers who review the show. I stopped caring about their opinion in 2016 except for a few counted videos since then.
I am going to quote Sunburst´s response from this episode when it comes to the reviews over here:
<Sunburst: I'm sorry I never told you how much your plans bothered me, and I know you just want me to succeed. But I need to do that on my own. >Stellar Flare: I remember how lost you were when you flunked out of magic school. I thought as long as you had a plan, you'd never feel that way again. <Sunburst: You don't have to worry, Mom. I need to find my own way. And I definitely don't feel lost anymore.
And thus, while one can take notes and watch the youtubers, I value and I encourage the practice of trying to come up with your own judgement/thoughts first without getting any outsider influence. Even if the personal reviews around here are flawed and not professional at all, I feel that the practice by itself induces a thinking process that you don´t get by relying on the opinion coming from others. Anyone is free to do whatever one feels like doing but as far as I am concerned, I appreciate more the fact of discussing the episode with your own vision towards it. Then, you can bring other reviewers of reference just for bringing up a point or two worthy of material to set up a debate around it but for the most part, it should come from the viewer itself.
