@ceruleanspark The writing. For the most part, Season 2 doesn't have me laughing a lot. Pinkie used to be fit for this role in the first season, but it seems like the scaling up of everypony else's zaniness since the Discord episodes has had the effect of making Pinkie's initial role near irrelevant this season. Visually, everything seems to have stepped up a notch and is more attractive, but the stories being told don't resonate with me quite as much. They also seem relatively unevenly paced. Hearth's Warming was a relatively enjoyable episode, but the framestory for it as a play means that we can't take much of what was presented as being accurate since it could be simplified in-world for the sake of being a play, and because what the viewer sees in comparison to what was actually on stage has a clearly visible gap when things shift beyond the limits of the stage's surface bounds. Meanwhile, I can't stand Luna Eclipsed. It feels like watching +5 Call of the Cutie type eps in a row.
