The only one of those you named that I genuinely hated was Thorax in the season 6 finale. It's not necessarily the design or any of that, it's what he did. In one episode, he and Starlight:
-nearly committed regicide
-absolutely committed genocide (as far as we know, the old changelings, aside from Chrysalis, are non-existent anymore)
-caused the show to have (gasp) a reoccurring villain!!! (honestly, that's the one change from Thorax I enjoyed)
-caused an entire kingdom to revolt against their queen (in literally any other scenario, this would be punishable by mass execution. it's unrealistic and makes no sense, considering their loyalty before hand)
other than that, I'm pretty "meh" about the changes. I learn to tolerate them, but Thorax's heinous actions are INTOLERABLE! No wonder Chrysalis saw him as a traitor. HE IS A TRAITOR AT THE HIGHEST PERCENTILE.
ahem, sorry... had to get that out of my system...
