Some good news this week: I've added a couple of text-based reviewers who were fixtures in these roundups a while back, MLEEP Reviews and the Super Mario Brony Blog. In both cases, they've been reviewing S7 before this point; they just didn't show up in my searches for whatever reason. Still, they're back now, and as long as they keep reviewing episodes they'll stay back! This gives us the fullest roster for some time. A huge range of opinions this week:
ArthurCrane – no review posted at time of writing
Batbrony Reviews – very negative ("just a very 'meh' episode ... one of the biggest disappointments the show's ever had ... so much unrealized potential")
Cuddlepug – a bit negative (graded C; "View this episode as a fanfiction and it's easier to stomach")
Derpy News – mildly positive (graded B; "enjoyable, but it suffers from predictability")
Louder Yay – mildly positive (three stars; "Enjoyable filler again? Yup.")
MLEEP Reviews – positive (rated 8.5/10; "may not be the best Daring Do episode…but it was still a pretty great adventure in building confidence")
TheDragonWarlock – mixed (graded B; "a good character arc for Daring [but] third act is where things take a dive")
The Southern Nerd – generally positive ("showed Daring Do facing the one foe few superheroes ever meet: consequences for the property damage they cause")
The Super Mario Brony Blog – extremely positive (five stars; "intriguing, yet masterfully executed story, wonderful and quirky characters ... spectacular action ... another great moral ... chapter of perfection")
Thrond Media Pony Corner – very negative (rated 35%; "the worst of the Daring Do episodes, and it's not even a contest")
I'm surprised this one's so divisive. o.O
ReplyDeleteMe three.
DeleteNot so surprise with Thrond, he expressed his dislike for S7 for some time in the forum. He is a bit harsh on some episodes this season. Batbrony, on the other hand, surprised me ;)
ReplyDeleteWhen Thrond dislikes an episode, he really lets you know. He absolutely detests "Magical Mystery Cure", for example. Although I don't agree with him about that episode, I do like reviewers who make their opinions very clear – positive as well as negative. (As long as they don't insult people who disagree with them, of course. That's not on.)
