I know, right? The love put into this scene seems immense. Rarity is adorable, Derpy is adorable. Derpy’s little head turn is hilarious, while the contrast between the weather kills me. Just, perfection from a visual standpoint.
@Eeveeinheat
I just keep imagining the animators doing this scene and thinking “This is why I grind out ponies all week long. To do scenes just like this.”
@Mr. Eccentric
But Diamond Tiara’s mother wasn’t in the race later in the episode … the butler was, but having them be the earlier winner would be an odd stretch. Derpy, on the other hand, was in both races, so there’s symmetry.
This REALLY Got on My Nerve’s There Was no Reason For derpy to be There other then to please the Bronies IT HONESTLY PISSES ME OFF.
You are reaaally over reacting. Sure, she had no reason to be here, but she had no reason not to be here either. The winning character was completely replaceable, so why not go with Derpy?
@Background Pony #249C Its not that i Hate Derpy she’s one of my Favorite’s
i Just Hate When DHX Use’s her as Fan-service Nothing more and it Felt Very Forced Here.
@Mr. Eccentric
Or maybe DHX thought it would be a good joke for Rarity to lose to an eccentric design, rather than another fancy-schmancy cart, and knew there wouldn’t be a pony more suited for presenting an eccentric design than one whose eccentricity has been previously established.
But if you prefer to be angry at DHX for trying to make you happy with a quick cameo that has nothing to do with the rest of the story, go ahead. Heck, start up a petition to remove Derpy from the show, and I’ll sign.
