Who Is your least favorite character in the show

[Gary S. 102]

I'd say it's Applejack. She is the reason for more Apple Family Episodes and they often bore me a lot. Her sometimes smug attitude takes me off. While Rainbow Dash can be explained with insecurity, AJ is like a stereotypical, overconfident american from Texas. No offence, i'm only talking about cliches.

There's no bragging, but it's like her being an Apple and hard working, you just don't know what you're talking about   Maybe i'm wrong, but she sometimes makes me feel like that.

 

 

edit: If it helps, i like her design and her accent and voice

Rainbow Dash. Most flawed, most overrated, overshadows all the other ponies because she's 'awesome' and doesn't have to work to earn anything. She just flies through life without a worry in the world, where someone like Applejack has to make sure a entire farm/family doesn't go under. It makes her very un-relatable, unless you have a massive ego

Rainbow Dash's reaction to this poll.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

I would have to say Applejack cause she has nothing to really to develop character wize. Even rainbowdash and Twilight who gets a lot of flack has improved and grown with the series. AJ is that adult who is set in their ways. I dont hate her, or even dislike her, but what development could she really have?

It's funny because it's true.

I don't dislike any of them but if I had to choose it would be RainbowDash.

Although I do like Rarity, I'd have to say she's my least favorite. She comes across as being quite snooty most times. She is generous, but that generosity is tempered by her rather judgmental nature.

You know, I think that may be the first time I've heard Rarity called judgmental before and I am honestly curious about this. Trust me, this isn't a trap or anything, but can you expand on that opinion?

[veryoriginalponyname 121]

Well, at least Dash still has the most votes of the Mane 6 on the Favorite Pony Poll. 561 votes last time I checked. Just something nice for Dash fans who might be annoyed by this poll's current results. She is still VERY much loved (and deservedly so ).

She sometimes call certain ponies and activities she dosen't like or agree with "uncivilized" or "uncooth", that sounds a tad judgmental to me. She is not the only pony guilty of that though, pretty much all the mane 6 were highly judgmental when it came to Zecora. Twilight was a voice of reason in that at first but she eventually started jumping to conclusions just like everypony else, except for Applebloom. Rarity is a bit better with this though in all fairness and has done many things on multiple occasions she wouldn't normally do to keep her sister Sweetie Belle happy.

You know I should have remember the uncouth line from Sisterhooves Social.

 

OT BTW, just downloaded your fic you wrote. It caught my attention when I was working repairing Batbrony's Authors Helping Authors thread. I was like .... Cockroaches? Wha?

We remember her as leveheaded, mature Applejack. It's kind of surprising looking back at Season 1 and seeing hotheaded, prideful, "I'm gonna whine all night and ruin a slumber party because my friend is neater than me"  Applejack. 

[Zekromic 1,054]

Applejack, while in real life is probably one of the best types of friend you can ask, precisely her down to earth personality in a cartoon show and the fact that she's pretty much a life fulfilled mare makes her the  least interesting of the mane6

[Zygen 6,066]

Blehhh, I don't honestly want to choose to even have a least favorite mane 6, because honestly I really like stuff about them all! Like the mane 6 all rank at the top of my favorite characters in the entire show! 

 

I just wanted to get across the fact that I do like all of the mane 6 characters.

 

If i HAD to pick one... well right now it's AJ, but AJ has got quite a lot of development and stuff over time. Plus shes southern, and i'm southern(Well, sorta, I have a very light accent at times, but I definitely don't have as heavy an accent as AJ. Atleast I don't personally think, but I do say y'all sometimes, and ain't, and stuff.) 

 

Idk maybe Rarity would be my least favorite? Although I don't dislike her either... She has a really interesting character too, and her overdramaticness(words that don't exist yeah!) is actually pretty entertaining most of the time. 

 

Then there's Rainbow, she's also got a lot of character development, like a whole lot since the start of the show... And she has an adorable soft side, while also having the competitive side. And bahhh.

 

Guys it's official, I don't really know who my least favorite character is ;p. I'm going to have to reevaluate my list sometime... and by sometime that probably means never as a procrastinator ;p.

 

Just know that regardless of who is my least favorite, I have things I like about all the mane 6, I just have ones I like more than others. But I don't dislike any of the mane 6.

 

Whew... now I'm confused ;p.

I just have this to say.

 

 

Also, AJ putting aside dreams, seeing her sister get a cutie mark, refusing to bare witness on a friend, and on and on. The thing is, if AJ is that much of a blank slate then I promise you that she has unlimited potential and is in a better spot for dynamic characterization than any of the other characters. Just look at the millennia of story telling.

[Prince Of Madness 28]

Rainbow dash, she's to overrated. 

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

You know, I think that may be the first time I've heard Rarity called judgmental before and I am honestly curious about this. Trust me, this isn't a trap or anything, but can you expand on that opinion?

In the first season, she seemed to look down on AJ for being a hard worker in "Look Before You Sleep". Like I said, I do like her, but she seems a bit stuck up. Even in "Trade Ya", she made a crack about buying AJ the dirtiest thing she could find. 

[The Mane-iac 1,648]

How have I not posted here before, this decision is far too easy for me so it would have been an easy post bumper.

 

Pinkie Pie. She annoys me like nothing else on this planet. The writers clearly try way too hard to fanservice her. She didn't bother me nearly as much in the beginning as she does now.

 

Dash is right behind her though. Can't stand how she always has to be the one to mouth off or say something that one of the others could have said. Also, her ego grates on me a bit, and this is coming from a huge Trixie fan.

 

 

If you'll notice though, my complaints are more with the ways the writers use these two. If they allowed some of the other ponies to say something now and then, or would dial Pinkie back to how she used to be... I wouldn't have a problem with them. They'd still be at the bottom of my list, but I wouldn't despise them like I do now. It'd just be because I like the others more.

 

Well, Hasbro would also need to stop using pretty much these two exclusively as the shows spokesponies, and start making equal merch of all the mane 6. I have the Dash belt buckle, but I want an AJ one! Not to mention keychains and other things that are pretty much Dash/Pinkie only. 

[Jeric 46,851]

I have to agree with you on this. Especially the last part.

 

RainbiwDash seems to be "the" icon character of the show. I say this because she is the most recognizable character (so, even if you're not a brony, you'll probably say that your favorite pony is RainbowDash).

She seems to be the one on the most clothes, jewelry, phone cases, etc.

 

It really bothers me.

New social experiment! I'm going to go up to 5 random people at the grocery store and ask them who their favorite pony is. This ought to be fun.

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

Am I the only one who noticed that a lot of Trixie fans find Dash's ego grating? This is at least the 4th person who considers themselves to be a fan of Trixie that I've seen think that way about RD, myself included

[User0815 264]

This took me at least 15-20 min to think of a answer to this but it would have to be pinky pie the reason is her voice hurts my hears when I watch the show with my turtle beaches on.

I know its not a good reason but there is no reason not to like any pony.

[Adash 193]

Applejack for me. I just couldn't find anything really unique or interesting about her. But I do like her hat

I've always said this. I mean, I'm a huge Trixie fan (my desk is covered in Funko Trixies, a brushable, plenty of Trixie stickers tossed around, my mini 10v has rotating wallpapers that are only of Trixie, custom made Trixie plush with hat/cape/EqG hoodie...) and Dash's ego just grates on me. I think it's because they are different styles of ego stroking. At least to me it seems that way.

 

I can't seem to put into words exactly why it comes across like this to me, but I'll try. No clue if it'll come across the way I meant.

 

Dash seems to truly believe that she's better than you, no exceptions. She will go to the extreme of cheating just to win at something so that she can claim herself to be better. She revels in the thought that she's better. She's not afraid to first off declare she's better, but then she proceeds to show off in the flashiest way possible, and then rub your face in it some more by trying to egg some praise out of you. She's been scolded many times by AJ or Twilight for acting off, and they basically tell her (either with words or a glare) to sit down and STFU.

 

Trixie... Trixie's style is more... I honestly see it as being showy. Like it's part of her act, her stage character. Obviously some of that carries over off stage as well, since she continues to talk in the third person and such, but she seems to dial it back some. Like when she was ushered on to vanquish the Ursa Minor, she clearly didn't want to and knew she couldn't. I have a feeling Dash would have charged head first and worn herself out, and still you'd be hard pressed to get her to admit defeat and throw that fit and shout "I can't!". In fact, she'd probably get sat on or something and right before she passes out, she'd say "I'm awesome".

 

Some of that is clearly what I have in my head, and that's fine, everyone can think how they want. We've not seen nearly as much Trixie as we've seen of Dash, and both times we have seen her, she was used as an antagonist for Twilight. I expect that she'll return, and when she does I want her attitude to still be there or it won't be Trixie. She just shouldn't become as mouthy as Dash. She should use her bravado as a reason to get better at magic, to prove that she actually can. Not just to stroke her ego.

[Jeric 46,851]

@The Mane-iac

 

Trixie = Eminem

Rainbow Dash = Tom Cruise

 

That about sum it up? I actually used the Trixie analogy in another thread not long ago to defend her a little.
