Okay, so, who else had the first impression, going by the picture alone, that the choice was Twilight/Timber versus Flash/Rainbow? Because that’s a whole other thing!

I don’t understand why they hate Flash and Timber if they didn’t do anything wrong to them, they are always saying the same staff that wants both versions of them to want to stay with the same purple girl, not because they are both different. I was once one of them but now I don’t hate them anymore

True, that’s why I liked it when Sci-Twi replaced Pony Twilight, so no longer forced romance and has room for character development for Flash

I like both of them for different reasons and I don’t care and like what certain people say about them for different reasons and it’s just the it should be.

Honestly, Flash has had a little more development as a character, so I’m just slightly more positively inclined towards him. That, and if you read the transcripts of their dialog in their respective films, Flash doesn’t come off as a creepy pickup artist, so he’s got that going for him too.
 
Now, I don’t care for either of them in the role they were cast in the series, because they were put in as “love interest” first, and “character that matters in the story” second. There are a great many tropes I loath, but “token romance and “strangled by the red string are two that really make my blood boil. You could remove all romantic elements from EG, RR and LoE, and it would not harm the films in the least. In fact, I’d say it would make them better, because you’d have less screen time devoted to something that does nothing to add to the story.

None of them is good

It’s a loose loose situation
