"Deserving"? That's a joke. Am I supposed to be impressed about who or whatever MixerMike is? At least Derpy is an actual canonical character that exists who does things. Fluffle Puff is a "OMG HOW CUTE NOW LET'S REBLOG AND PASTE IT EVERYWHERE UNTIL YOU LOVE IT. COME ON HOW COME YOU DON'T LOVE HER LOOK HOW ADORABLE SHE IS. HAVE WE MENTIONED HOW ADORABLE SHE IS?" fandom.

Thank Celestia I'm finally not alone. I get it. She's cute. She gasps and does cute things. THAT'S. IT. The overblown fandom of her honestly pisses me off.

She is only voiced in fan animations online and every single one of them I've come across is voiced by Nowacking. Basically the same voice that did Vinyl in the video where Octavia is talking about her life.

You feel there is too much of it as of late?

So uh HOLY COW it has been 2 full years since I bothered coming here to these forums. I suppose I owe my ol' friends here a "sorry I disappeared" post first before coming back in full force but I did have a topic I wanted to share and I hope is fully within the rules. I don't mean to bash or hate on anyone or anything, but after the brilliant Season 5 premiere I had a thought about all of the things I've seen/witnessed blossom in the fandom that I just don't..."feel" connected to. Be it an inside joke, a meme we've made, or other things I just don't get. For myself there's only one on my mind that comes to me only due to my being a Vinyl Scratch fan: why is Nowacking the absolute ONLY voice attached to Vinyl so far? In everything animated I've ever witnessed she's the only voice, ever. Now I'm not saying anything bad about her: I think she's a pretty funny person and I hope to meet her when I actually finally go to BronyCon this year...but I don't think her voice suits Vinyl. I had hoped by now maybe in the fandom other girls would have stepped up to add a more feminine sound to the dubstep/electronica queen of MLP. Again, while I don't dislike her at all, I just have a sort of deaf ear now to enjoying her boyish tone being added to her. And while I'm at it, when the heck is Vinyl getting ANY voice at all? I thought she would have spoken at least one line in Rainbow Rocks but nope. ;A;

It looks like the second movie made him even more useless than in the first movie AND THAT IS SAYING A LOT. Rainbow Rocks is a damn near perfect movie and an ultra amazing sequel; it blew my mind how great it was but Flash STILL irritates me. Continuously acting awkward and "oh em gee I hope I don't bump into Twilight again we might actually TOUCH HANDS UGUU" and just adding nothing. He does nothing. Why does Twilight find him so interesting?! I don't get it! Have her fall for someone who attracts her mentally first before simply being her human off-again-on-again crush. It's dumb. He's dumb. I want them to drop his character entirely if they're not going to do anything meaningful with him. God. I'm usually not this upset over a single character but the absolute potential wasted and turning him into a "OH MY SHE LIKES HIM TOO TEE HEE ;)" character just throws a complete monkey wrench into the gears that is the well written movie and lore of the series. Ugh!

The whole episode just ROCKED. Like really, I don't get THIS excited often for MLP episodes but this one.....man. What a way to knock it out of the park, Meghan McCarty <3

*claps* Bravo, Hasbro...you REALLY came through for me. This finale was FAN-TAS-TIC. <3 I had felt I knew where the episode was going, but the journey through it was all more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. Seriously though: how about that DRAGON BALL Z stuff included eh? - energy-related super powers - a villain who sucks up the energy/lifeline of innocents in order to get stronger (Perfect Cell shoutout) - energy beam struggles - giant explosions - pushing/physically beating opponents through landscapes - craters as a result of hitting the ground like a comet I loved the fights. I loved Tirek. I loved the raw drama and absolute feeling of despair; that I didn't know what was going to solve everything and how it was going to go. That Discord was GREAT.....and that there's a nice subtle Discord x Celestia hint (in my head canon anyways) with him giving her flowers at the end. That was cute. I'm usually somewhat critical to a point to try and find one or two things that didn't sit well with me on one or two episodes but here? I just....I got nothing: I loved all of it. This finale has elevated what MLP can do in general as a show and storytelling series goes and I appreciate how we are evolving Ponyville and the mane 6 along.

Excuse me but I'm more interested in the tats that OP said he has....

STOP. I saw this on the Hasbro posting of the episode too: people dismissive of people genuinely upset or didn't like the episode amounting to 'Bah you're just a bunch of Spike haters!' and no, screw off. There aren't "haters" that are amassing together suddenly to post that they don't like Spike. They simply don't like how Spike was written in this episode. He's better than this. How many times do we have to see Spike completely misunderstand something or get a big head out of taking something out of context? How many times do we have to sit through episodes where he's funny, smart, or heck, the VOICE OF REASON (see the episode where he had to snap Rarity out of her spell, Equestria Girls, Lesson Zero, or hey, even the episode when he was babysitting the pets) only to see him turn into another awkward idiot the immediate next? I argue we don't hate Spike, but we're tired of seeing him get the brunt end of the 'stupidity' swing in the writing. It also doesn't help that they've built this whole event up OVER A SEASON AGO and what did we end up with? "Spike having Spike problems, oh and some fireworks I guess." You can't sit there and tell me with a straight face that the writing of the episode itself (not the Spike parts) wasn't sloppy, because I caught it...and I usually don't point them out. (Trust me I don't go onto the internet each week to read the summary of each episode before they air to pre-hype myself: I just stay blind until it airs.) But here it was just so thick and rife with error I couldn't help but feel it was.....amateurish. Which is odd considering I feel that even poor episodes are saved by at least something going on and I never once looked away in disgust from them: not even the Breezies episode.

It's interesting seeing how the voting of this came out...because for once I'm in the minority. I'm going to be blunt, this is literally the first UNWATCHABLE episode for me. I sat through Season 1, 2, 3, heck I own Equestria Girls. I'll even excuse the fast pacing of Season 3's finale because of how little episodes they had and time to get it out. But this? The Equestria Games? Hyped (hinted rather) since Season 3 and leading to "Spike has Spike problems"? Really? - Why did it have to revolve around SPIKE of all people? No sooner the 8 minute mark hit I just blinked and said ".....we're gonna focus on this ONE THING here for the entire episode, aren't we?" and when he had that thing happen with Twilight talking to him, I just went all Big Macintosh and said "eeeyup. We sure are. :I" - How did Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy come out with the 1 medal difference to win the EG if the VERY LAST EVENT with the ice arrows was the dividing point, pointed out by the 4 of the main cast that was sitting and watching? - If ice arrows can so much as turn an entire cloud into ice by colliding with it, WHY wouldn't the alicorns (or even the event planners) keep that part of the skies clear, or close up the part of the dome with a tarp? - This is what, the 4th episode revolving around stage fright as a story element? - Was irritated we got to see ONE event and it was all "ok show's done. Now let's have fireworks". - Literally could not watch the whole scene with Spike botching up the anthem. I have sat through 3 seasons and every episode on Season 4 no problem (including Equestria Girls) but this I couldn't stomach having eye contact with the screen. As a big event hyped up for awhile I'm actually quite disappointed with the episode as a whole. For myself it's the bottom of the barrel as far as the entire show goes. 3/10 for me.

Anyone x Snips or Snails. Seriously, at least even the antagonists such as Sunset Shimmer or TGAP Trixie have their own things to like about but.. ...I question the sanity of anyone wanting those idiots with someone. I'd have to ask if that person legitimately likes terrible characters, or is a sadist.

I thought the lesson learned was nice for what it accomplished in the end but honestly did Sweetie Belle really need another reminder how much her sister, the Element of Generosity, actually cares for her? Hello? Rarity ran through an obstacle course drenched in MUD to prove how much she cares for her. Then again, she's basically a kid and kids do forget stuff like that from time to time I suppose so her initial reaction to everything was realistic but...meh. Yknow.

I dunno, I have often come to some interesting conversations had there on /MLP/ that rival or outweigh those here on this forum in terms of content.
