    In Equestria Girls, there is a certain character that a lot of people in the fandom seem to not like. That character is Flash Sentry. The main crush of Twilight Sparkle in both the pony world and the human world of Equestria, this particular character seems to be known as "filler", or a character that is just there with no purpose. I, however, disagree with this. Flash is not filler. I just think he needs more screen time in the films and/or shorts. Yes, Twilight may seem to have another crush in Timber Spruce (TimberLight), but Flash and Twilight go WAY back before that. I mean, who else's car in the films (or maybe shorts) looks like a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro? This may mean that Flash's family is rich, but rich people are spoiled, arrogant, big-egoed people in my eyes (no offense to Rainbow Dash). This is NOT the case with Flash. He is a nice person who cares about Twilight a lot. And since Twilight is the mANE character in MLP: FiM (pun intended), anypony (or anybody) that has a crush on her should be seen as a good character. Yet, still, people still don't like him. They still see him as "filler".
    Why? Why is this the case? To me, he seems like one of Equestria Girls' major characters, along with the Main 7 (or the HuMANE 6). The HuMANE 6 sure get a lot of screen time, so why not Flash? By comparison, Bulk Biceps is a minor character in both series, yet it seems like even HE gets more screen time. Maybe the writers don't want Flash to interact with Twilight as much, because of the fear of shipping, which a lot of little girls would not understand unless they asked their parents. That would not be a good thing. And what if Twilight and Flash even KISSED?  That would be even WORSE, leading for parents to possibly sue Hasbro for showing something like that. Maybe that's why he doesn't get that much time.
    So my final take on Flash is that he should NOT be hated. What reasons are there to hate him? In fact, hate is a strong word, so maybe a less harmful world could be used.
    What do you think about the character of Flash Sentry? Let me know in the comments below!
    Thanks for reading!
