Only counting natural abilities, I consider Sonic better at racing than Dash because of one key factor, endurance! Their top speeds are as far as canon descriptions go similar (both vaguely described as "supersonic" or "breaking the sound barrier"). Sonic however, unlike Dash, has a secondary power of supernatural endurance, whereas Dash has been shown to fatigue quickly at times. Knuckles wins the strength comparison because... well... he literally punched the "Super" out of "Super Sonic". As much as I love AJ, I don't see her doing anything similar anytime soon. Tails versus Twilight... well what is there to say about that one? Unlike Tails, who you rarely even see doing anything smart, Twilight show's off that she has a brain and she knows how to use it. Rarity... "gemstone attraction spell"... enough said... Cream. Keeping in mind that "cuteness" isn't the same as "kindness" then Fluttershy kind of suffers the same problem as Tails where it's implied that she is the kindest pony in Equestria, but you don't get to see her do an awefull lot of kind stuff, or hear her say a lot of kind things. (Again, keep in mind that "shyness" and "cuteness" are not the same as "kindness") Oh god... Amy and Pinkie... that's two totally different types of crazy... I'm going to have to go with Amy though, because hers is the "creepy obsessed stalker" kind of crazy, as opposed to Pinkie's "awkward tiring random" kind of crazy. I'm going to have to disagree with a part of this comment. Tails' intelligence is said to be the only one (in universe) to rival Eggman's. The problem is, like I mentioned before, that he really never does much with his intelligence, so all in all it just feels like it's not present. Amy rose has a very unrealistic and 1-dimensional vision on reality, she is obsessed with a single individual to the point of folowing him anywhere he goes and has once attempted to beat the crap out of him when he didn't want to come with her. (Also consider the fact that the individual in question has on many occasions told her to piss off.) ---> Ergo, She's "bat-sh*t-insane"! Pinkie, is hyperactive, she think's in non-obvious ways, and she acts out of the norm at almost all times. She has the type of personality you might call crazy, but really, she does ground herself in reality.

Strangely enough, my least favorite pony's death would affect me the most. I don't like Pinkie Pie, but I'd hate to see anything happen to her. I may not like the way she acts, but over the episodes I've come to appreciate her efforts to keep her friends' high spirits up. That makes sense, right?

Can someone please explain to me why Ceresbane is getting so much crap from so many people for the thing he said about the personality inconsistencies? From what I can tell, people insist that he says the characters should be perfect, but what I hear is that the characters are the living embodyments of the elements they represent, and that their flaws should not contradict their elements, but rather be problems that stem from characteristics associated with those elements. And I can whole-heartedly agree with that. Barring the Discord episodes, I find it very jarring when these characters contradict their elements because for the greatest part there is no real justified reason for it, because there are better alternatives. They might be small things but it's little questions like: - Why is Applejack lying to Pinkie? - Why is Pinkie being so serious and up-tight all of a sudden? - Why is Fluttershy being such a bitch right now? that just don't sit right with me, and don't get me wrong, I can understand why those choices were made, and I do appreciate the thought that went behind it. I just don't like the way it meshes with the element of harmony concept. These are the great chosen avatars wielding the McGuffin crystals of legend. So if they don't adhere to the demands of their respective crystals, why are they the chosen ones at all? Spike is more loyal and reliable than Rainbow Dash, the Cakes have yet to tell a lie, Celestia's magic is most likely still stronger than Twilight's and she already understands the value of friendship, heck, for that matter, the Derpy character would make for a more interesting element of kindness with some minor adjustments. I don't buy the "different writers" excuse, because for one, it only takes a 12 word memo to solve that problem. and for another, I've read fanfics that could consistently keep the mane-six to their elements and still have interesting flaws to play off, (Whether or not those stories as a whole are interesting is up to you to decide for yourself, but at least the concepts are competent,) so why should I expect any less from the capabilities of professional writers?

As I said, I would rather keep Trixie off this list, because I feel like she isn't characterized strongly enough to be the face of an alignment... But I wouldn't say she's "clearly not good". As has been said in the video of the first post. "She's an entertainer", and from what I can tell, a pretty amusing one if almost the entire audience is enjoying the show. Surely that gives her at least some points towards the "Good" alignment. And if that seems like a load of crap to you, also consider that she made some attempt at chasing away the ursa minor that was about to raid Ponyville. Successful or not, it was more than most would do.
