Saying it just over and they’re split up feels somewhat half-assed considering it happens so quickly, the least they could do it have them talk one last time to make it believable.

I think them pairing up as fast as they did might have made things worse.
 
But either way, it’s over. They’re split up. If Flash’s relationship with Twilight is your problem, then it looks like he’s not the only one who needs to let go and move on.

It seems a bit biased everyone fleshes out every other character, even ones with even less personality then him, or give them new fanons, or makes them into different characters they want them to be, but can’t do the same for him.
 
If it helps, I will again suggest that as it stands now, Flash would be a good fit for the role of lost soul. (Or the “lost puppy” type if you want to ship.) He doesn’t really seem to know what to do with himself, and I get the feeling he could really use a distraction from his Twilight problem(s).
 
Others have also suggested that Flash isn’t cool so much as he’s trying to be cool, and I kinda like that interpretation of him too.

On a more on-topic subject, I’m not a Flash-hater or fan, but I agree. It seems a bit biased everyone fleshes out every other character, even ones with even less personality then him, or give them new fanons, or makes them into different characters they want them to be, but can’t do the same for him.
 
It’s a bit funny the male characters aside from Spike & Discord tend to be not very well-liked amongst male fans. Female characters tend to be more popular, even ones like Sunset Shimmer & Starlight Glimmer were very easily forgiven by fans despite starting out as very nasty unlikeable characters, at first. Flash never really did anything wrong, (except when he was under the Siren’s magical negative influence, which some use against him) but is even more disliked regardless.
 
I hate to say it, but it might be due to some bronies’ personal social issues, that seeing Twilight dig a stereotypically “cool good looking guy” might also be a factor in why some dislike him, as many dislike people like that IRL regardless if they had bad experiences with similar people, or not. Though, more recent EqG movies do show he has an awkward side, so they have tried to humanize him a bit more, but other then that, most fans can’t relate to him, like they can Spike, or the Mane 6.

The problem is you can’t just take a hint and stop using pictures of Flash as an excuse to spam hate comments. And him being a stereotype isn’t a good excuse, heck the mane six are all walking stereotypes when you think about it.
 
If he’s that much of a trigger for you then just filter him and move on.

Don’t pretend like we crack down on ONLY Flash Sentry haters and no one else, plus, I just so happened to see this debate going on.
 
I’ve seen enough people that hate Flash on this site, that the people that legitimately like him are hard to find. You’re not the first person in the history of forever to see his character as dull and uninteresting, so I’d wager you’re just wasting your breath here. ;P

Hey, this aite has these awesome things called filters, and you can customize one to hide or spoiler (or whitelist) whatever you wish, and I noticed you were using the ‘Everything’ filter which will show everything on the site, and it seems to be like you don’t actually wish to see everything.
 
Food for thought.

It still makes no sense to hate someone just to hate them. That kind of hate is better directed towards Blueblood, Spoiled Rich, per-reformation Diamond Tiara, the FlimFlam Bros, Gladmane and Svengallop, characters that have actually DONE SOMETHING to ‘‘warrent’’ such hatred.
 
Flash? He exists.
 
You see where I’m going with this. Heck, characters like Trixie and Diamond Tiara developed into better characters even when some people outright despised them, Flash is no exception.

There is SOMETHING in him that I hate and I can’t explain it. I just look at his face and want to punch him so hard!(but he’s CC so I can’t unless I’d want to say goodbye to my monitor and i don’t). It’s like IRL when(for example) you see someone on the street and you think that he’s/she’s annoying and you hate that person for no reason. Kinda like JB syndrom :P

Well we’re not talking about OC’s, genius. So stop acting like they’re suddenly the end-all to the conversation.
 
And you still have yet to answer my question, what makes it so difficult to give the guy a personality like we’ve done for every other DG and supporting character?
 
And don’t use the whole “because he’s too bland” excuse.

“Like him so much”? The problem is that everyone hates him for no logical reason! The moment he showed up everyone started treating him like the cancer of the fandom that needed to die a horrible death because he’s “bland”, “cliche”, a “waifu stealer” and “has no character”.
 
Let me ask you this:
 
Why is it we can take Derpy’s animation error and her saying “muffins” and make her a clutz who’s obsessed over the food…
 
…make Lyra a human-obsessed conspiracy theorist based on how she sits…
 
…take a DJ with a two-second cameo and make her a party animal who’s dating that one mare from the Gala episode…
 
…make Berry Punch an alcoholic based on her drinking directly from a punch bowl…
 
…make Scootaloo an orphan simply because we don’t see her parents and Rainbow Dash a lesbian with a cider addiction…
 
…and yet giving Flash some interesting personality traits based on his scenes in the movies is somehow impossible? Even if the writers didn’t do much for him, that doesn’t make him a lost cause that no good can come out of.
 
As Bronies we’ve been nitpicking small aspects of several characters and giving them their own personalities since the show started, so to whine about Flash being bland is not only lazy, but also hypocritical. Heck we add aspects and traits to main characters like Rainbow Dash, Luna, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. Everyone assumes that Scoots is an orphan, Sweetie Belle is Button Mash’s special somepony, Luna is a binge gamer, and Rainbow Dash is a lesbian with a cider addiction. If we can nitpick and speculate about various characters in the franchise and give them their own personality or add onto their character then Flash is no exception. Him being “bland” is just a petty excuse used by lazy hypocrites who are too stubborn to be imaginative when it comes to this character.
 
“Oh but he’s a walking “nice guy” cliche that’s not even interesting!”
 
Cliche does not define one’s entire personality, heck the mane six are all walking cliches when you think about it. Discounting a personality trait or event just because it’s cliche is just another sign of laziness.
 
Oh, and one last thing that proves that Flash-haters are all just a bunch of hypocrites:
 
If Flash had been introduced as a female, no one would’ve CARED, if anything they’d be singing a different tune and shipping them like everyone else because “OMG GIRL-ON-GIRL IS SO HAWT!!”
 
Bottom-Line: Flash-hate is pointless, hypocritical, and just plain STUPID.
