I love how Fluttershy can grow and shrink at will in Pony Life. The recent episode where shrinks and runs crying out of that dolphin guy’s house was hilarious.

It also serves as an amusing visual gag about her being on her high horse or deflating under pressure.

Nah, I hate it for the fact that her giant form is actually intimidating, and so it gives her an OP trait for no good reason.
Also, PL Fluttershy seems fairly awful to me overall.

PL Fluttershy and to a lesser extent Rarity are the only ones I really have any issues with
PL AJ is amazing though

I dunno, I think PL Rarity is pretty close to her FIM version actually. People oftentimes forget how comical she was in that.

Dunno, She was really funny in the main show but something about PL Rarity rubs me the wrong way. I can’t quite put my finger on it. I don’t want to say she’s more over the top and exaggerated because that applies to most characters. She feels the same as how Twilight’s handled here, but whereas it feels detrimental to Rarity I actually think it works to Twilight’s benefit because it reminds me how Twilight was handled in the early seasons.
It might be because she doesn’t have as much layers compared to her old self as well as the rest of the PL cast
If anyone can get what I’m doing a terrible job of explaining let me know

We get it, Spinny. You hate when characters have unique and highly developed skills.

No i get you.
It feels like they took a character that occasionally exaggerates and shaved her down to only exaggerating, and playing that as serious as they possibly can, which doesn’t seem to be very much.

I also hate the whole growing and shrinking thing for PL Fluttershy. Not because it’s OP or anything (really I don’t know where you’re getting that it makes her OP) but because it just looks stupid and I feel like it’s a gimmick that’s gonna wear really thin as it goes on.

I would’ve been fine if it was just a few times, but it doesn’t need to be in nearly every episode.
The “Pinkie exploding,” and Twilight “cracking apart” gags probably would be funnier if they were one-time gags too.
I love cartoony visual gags, (grew up with Looney Tunes, Tex Avery, AOSTH, Ren & Stimpy, and such) but they could come up with better ones, or some classic ones.
@WyrmSpawN
Well, PL isn’t meant to be a serious show, and debatably there are plenty of FIM episodes where a character like Rarity is a bit Flanderized for comical effect. (And that’s not just something in later seasons, I remember Season 1 exaggerated things too for comic effect, especially before characters got development. Like Fluttershy literally being afraid of her own shadow, and such. In fact, it’s funny fans used to complain she was “too wussy,” now fans are upset she’s “too assertive.”)

I don’t even have a problem with the growing or shrinking thing, I actually think that’s funny. My issue with Fluttershy is that she doesn’t feel like Fluttershy, she feels more like Pinkie Pie in her worse moments in the main show, minus the spazz parts.
Ironically I actually feel Pinkie is more toned down in PL compared to her main counterpart, actually to her benefit no less

I don’t think Fluttershy being too assertive was the issue with her. If anything, that was one of the things they were doing right. The problem I had was that they had to make her right about everything even if it made no sense, often to the detriment of others. At some point it just felt like the writers were worshiping her

How is that a highly developed skill?
@Myoozik
It’s OP because she uses it to intimidate others into doing what she wants. It goes a bit beyond just a simple gag.
@Kiryu-Chan
Daring Doubt is still by far the most insulting example of this.

Which is a shame, because it’s simultaneously Fluttershy at her best. Daring Doubt, I mean.

It fits because it means nobody can really argue with her
You do not tangle with the Hulk, unless you want to become intimately acquainted with the ground
She already got away with some pretty horrific animal abuse in the cart episode

Here is my unpopular opinion: Sunset Shimmer acted like a total asshole to Sci-Twi in Friendship Games.
