Yeah, but sometimes my bait happens to also be my real opinion. Like Thorax is garbage after the whole transformation. New changeling look like vomit and could’ve been designed better and with something less… DeviantArt-y. Y’know? Something that didn’t look like baby’s first OC (I say, as someone whose literal first OC was a shitty alicorn knockoff crossed between Twilight and Fluttershy.)
I love Luna, but I feel like there’s a bunch of weird things about her. She’s a fan favorite (and my own), but I think that her episodes weren’t as good as I wish they were, outside of the Tantibus episode - which was fantuckingfastic.
Things I don’t like about certain characters: (And some of these characters I fucking love)
Luna: Fan favorite, but perhaps too much so. Her character “development” seems limited and rushed on screen, most of it happened off screen, which is fine, but it was never hinted at. The Tantibus episode was good, however. I don’t think Luna deserves quite as much hype as she has.
Celestia: A seemingly inconsistent ruler. Her personality seems flat sometimes, though there’s been moments where she shows that she quite enjoys messing with others and that somewhat hints that she’d be fine mildly abusing her powers and status for tricks and laughs. Nothing too awful, but I’m pretty lukewarm with her, ironically.
What’s wrong with the luna dream parts in Bloom & Bloom and For Whom the Sweetie Bell Toils? Are the considered CMC episodes? I always thought they are at least semi-luna-episodes. Best appearance is Sleepless in Ponyville, of course. :-D
Thorax and the reformed changelings, I stick with the reaction of EVERYONE in Bronies React: Season 6 finale 1:00:45, especially ACRacebest (1:01:40). ;-D
Not really. She fought Twilight to a draw once when she had things on her side and the one time she did something to Tia, it was when she took Tia by surprise. But you know, this can lead to years long debates and it all comes down to how you choose to read the epsiodes anyway.
Twilight Sparkle: Hoo boy… She’s been through a lot of episodes I hated her in. I dislike the sort of “chosen one” feeling I get from her, despite her not being overpowered per se, but in the end, it does all come down to her with the exception of a scarce few times. Also, after becoming princess, I’m glad to see less of her, as it gives the spotlight to others who can develop beyond the limited roles they’ve had before. Replacing her focus with a heavy focus on Starlight was… Well, I’ll get to that later.
Rarity: Gods, I hate some of her episodes. At the same time, she has some of my favorite episodes of all time, but my issues with her is that for someone proclaiming to be Generosity, she spends an awful lot of time in the first few seasons doing things for herself and nobody else. My biggest issues show in the Sweet and Elite episode, where she dicks around for a week instead of doing that one thing for her friend that was the entire point of her trip to Canterlot, and instead decides to live it up and make herself a popular pony in the city (Literally the entire song is about that.)
Fluttershy: I’ll preface this by saying Fluttershy is one of my favorite ponies. That said, I’m tired of her personality in all honesty. I like it being mixed up, hence why I enjoy so many of the episodes that focus on her not being shy and meek, like the first Iron Will episode, or the Flutterbat episode. Her personality has been so generic for such a long time that I’ve grown tired of her.
