Subtle as the pony you're encouraging us to vote for . Though then again, Rainbow Dash has no use for subtlety either -_- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHOfOutAOpc Already cast my vote, and I'm hoping for an all-Ashleigh Ball final

So long as we're posting music, vote for the orange horse with the gorgeous green eyes

I've got a rough list. Some of the choices were pretty tough, so keep in mind that anything on this list is pretty interchangeable with anything within a few places of it. 1: A True True Friend If you were going to try and wrap up everything I like about MLP into one song, this would be your best shot. There are others I prefer from a strictly musical standpoint, but who wants that ? It's a repetitive but very touching song about friends being there for one another and lifting each other out of rough places. Love it 2: Art of the Dress Between the first section and the reprise, you get a very good feel for the joy and the frustration that Rarity's work gives to her. Add in a catchy tune and her always lovely voice, and you get a very enjoyable song that captures Rarity's essence quite well. 3: Bats! It took a little while to grow on me, but it's catchy as heck, has some fantastic imagery and is sort of unique as an argument in the form of a song. It ends up with a very different feel from the other songs in the show and was definitely the highlight of the episode featuring it. 4: Find a Pet Another back and forth song like Bats!, but with quirky Flutterdash odd couple friendshipping instead of antagonism. The tune is upbeat and infectious, and watching Fluttershy slowly beginning to understand Rainbow Dash's weird thought process is hilarious to me . Just a song that picks you right up. 5: Raise This Barn Another that took a little while to grow on me, and like A True True Friend it's getting the nod because it too is a catchy, happy, touching song, and one that leaves you feeling great and happy for Applejack and her family. 6: Apples to the Core MOAR APPLE FAMILY . Some great and sincere happiness in this one, wrapped up in a bouncy song that makes you want to sing along 7: You'll Play Your Part Those perfect princess voices. 8: Pinkie's Lament A slow, somber, introspective song that reveals a lot of Pinkie's depth of character. Completely different from the sort of tunes we're used to her singing, and it's a welcome change. Watching characters struggle with self-doubt and question their own motivations has always been one of my favorite things. 9: What My Cutie Mark Is Telling Me Yet another catchy song, but pretty different from many of the ones I've talked about already. It's a great chance to hear all of the Mane Six singing together and the disjointedness of the tune drives home the fact that something very wrong is going on here. 10: Winter Wrap Up Gives you a great feel for how Ponyville works, and the role each of the main characters has in keeping it that way. Just a solid song all around.

After watching Rainbow Falls, I can be satisfied in knowing that no episode could possibly disappoint me so thoroughly. /tempting fate More seriously, you could interpret Fluttershy's willingness to compete for Ponyville in the games as being some good character development. I also enjoyed Soarin', even if he came off as a tad dim.

Seems Rainbow's doing well in kicking off her campaign to the quarters. Let's show the loyalest and fastest pony in Equestria some love

This discussion seems to be moving in circles. Rather than a normal talk about Season 4's merits and flaws, everything in this topic is more along the lines of discussing the opinions of one person and reiterating that certain things will never happen in MLP due to the tone and audience of the show. Because of this, it has been locked. If anyone would like to talk about Season 4 and what they did or didn't enjoy about it, they are welcome to use this thread.

Best pony inspires good fan music

, awesome . It's pretty common to hear people say that they liked Dash best at first, but that she fell out of favor over time and as their appreciation of other characters rose. Nice to see someone who's come full circle . To quote another amazing horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz7dtIE6kQA For everyone, what are some of your favorite friendshippings involving Dash? I really like her relationship with Pinkie, and I have hopes for her and Twilight after Testing Testing, but I'm going to go with her and Fluttershy in the end. I just think it's super sweet how they've been there for each other through thick and thin for so long, even if they don't share a lot of interests. They're very good for one another

@Chaypell13, hi there . Since we already had a topic lying around for talking about MLP villains and why we like them, I've merged your thread with the older one. Most people don't really distinguish between their "favorite" villain and the "best" villain anyway, and all that. Just helps to keep the discussion all in one place, and I hope you understand For big, threatening, blockbuster villains I'd have to go with Discord. Everything from his voice, his attitude, his ability to torment each character and pick at them on an individual basis, he was a fantastic villain. I consider the episodes dedicated to their beating him to be among the strongest in the series, and he played a big part in that. I also consider him to be an even better villain for how he's willing to reflect on why he does what he does, and to just show more sides of himself than the other big guys. "Covering the land in candy and chocolate milk is fun, but so is having friends, but are they just holding me back from who I am, and I just wanna cause a little chaos and entropy, entropy, entropy..." /plugging a good song For the little, everyday people you feel like you could bump into on the street, I love Lighting Dust. I love her lack of empathy, I love her fierce drive for self-improvement, I love her messed up sense of priorities, and I love her contrasts with Rainbow Dash. I want more of her too, and her story feels unfinished.

Time for Dashie to show her monochromatic-maned counterpart who's boss, because everything's better with a little Dash of color! Hope Spike pulls through this too, since Cadance got the better of him during qualification unless I'm misremembering. Mr. The Dragon is the true hero of the Crystal Empire and deserves to move on

Seems to be a bit of a spectrum. I'm not sure if I classify Hurricane Fluttershy, for example, as a "duet" episode even though Rainbow Dash was very important all throughout. Same goes for Inspiration Manifestation and Rarity, probably. I'm having trouble coming up with things that just fall short, but I think a true example of what you're talking about would have both characters be going through a similar problem (or be creating the problem for the other), have the episode showcase their interactions, and have them both play a big role in helping the other make things right.

PinkLestia is a top tier crackship and they shouldn't be forced to fight Going with Pinkie here, though. It's easy to write her off as just an annoying gag character, but she's actually so much more. A selfless pony who dedicates her life to making others happy, an insecure pony who worries about whether her friends care about their relationship as much as she does, a pony who can have some very low points that she doesn't want others to see, all in addition to being the Fun Ponified ball of optimism that she is on the surface. She's an awesome character, and a character I can relate to a lot. Voted for Scoots, Fluttershy and Angel as well. Above is footage of him plotting against those who didn't support him . Remember, it ain't too late to change your vote

Aye, I've found them pretty underwhelming for the most part too. Not saying Dash doesn't eat it while trying to do complicated tricks or anything, but that just shows she's willing to push herself and keep trying new things . After four seasons, the Bolts' most impressive accomplishment is narrowly edging Ponyville's relay team in the Games, 2/3rds of which could hardly fly at all. All things considered, it's ridiculously impressive that Dash was able to make that a close race. Or I'm overthinking things. As for the leadership and moral end of it, I like the idea of portraying the Wonderbolts as increasingly flawed and fallible ponies as time goes on, even if I'm not the biggest fan of how that was executed in The Episode I Do Not Speak Of. They're more interesting that way than if they're just the awesome, perfect, successful superstars that Dash sees them as. Have a couple of cute pegasi and a tortoise.

(high fives) Tough to say since at least for me, Pinkie can be sort of hit and miss when she's not the character in the spotlight. While there're a few duds, episodes specifically dedicated to her tend to be damn good though. I'm going with Season 4, just because it had plenty of these. Pinkie Pride and Pinkie Apple Pie were awesome episodes that looked at her motivations, gave us some really great character interactions, and had some fantastic songs to boot. I thought she was good in Maud Pie too, and had some good supporting roles in Daring Don't and Trade Ya. Sure, you also have stuff like whatever the heck was going on in Filli Vanilli, but I think all the great moments in other episodes overshadow the other stuff easily. Season 4 was a treat for the Pinkie fan in me
