Who Is your least favorite character in the show

[The Mane-iac 1,648]

@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.

 

 Wow, that actually works really well.

Of course this becomes a RD bashing thread

Ironic since RD is popular pretty much on every brony site but this one.

Tom Cruise is hot, though

 

When a guy looks like that, getting compared to him is hardly an insult

  I was bashing? I thought I did a pretty decent job at just stating why I felt the way I did, in response to something Ghostie said about Trixie fans and Dash.

 

Bashing... well that would be a lot of the things that have been said against AJ or Rarity honestly. Though I'm biased, just like you are since you're a Dash fan I'm guessing.

Well... when you take into account the whole Scientology craziness and jumping on the couch thing... 

oops, better stop before this becomes a Tom Cruise bashing thread. someone make a separate topic pllllease. lol

No, it's been one early on but it calmed down. We've kept dialog civil and enlightening for the most part. Actually the The Mane-iac had an interesting take on his dislike for Rainbow Dash, and I was hoping I understood the meaning since he worried that he would not be able to sufficiently communicate it. You have a really interesting discussion about the two ego centric characters that the show has given us, and to be honest it might be worthwhile to delve into that at a later time.

 

I personally don't mind someone saying 'Grr your favorite character gives me heartburn/constipation/hemorrhoids' as long as there they simply go into why they feel that way. Otherwise ... it doesn't really add anything to the discussion. RD is a great character, it's a matter of perspective. Deconstructing characters is one great way to learn more about them.

 

Also check my signature and below Rarity you will see a quote that sums up my feelings on MLP characters in general. It wasn't my quote either.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Don't ask me why Rainbow Dash's arrogance doesn't actually bother me. I will agree though that she's on way too much merch and Hasbro should really make merch of the other mane six characters.

[The Mane-iac 1,648]

The elderly don't count.

 

OH, and if they don't know what MLP is, show them pictures of the main 6 characters. I'm sure that the most votes will go to RainbowDash

 

You know what's funny about that experiment... you could easily screw with the results depending on surroundings. Wear a Dash shirt, have a Dash bracelet on or something rainbowy and that will influence them to vote Dash without them realising it. You could do the same with the other ponies. It's not as simple as just walking up to people and asking about ponies, there can't be any psychological cues present that could skew their decisions unknowingly.

[Lightning-flickr 214]

I don't like rainbow douche

                                dash

 

she's really arrogant and ignorant and needs to get her head out of her arse.. 

She doesn't seem to take other ponies feelings into consideration and I don't like that. 

[veryoriginalponyname 121]

If I can say one thing in defense of Rainbow Dash: Watch her relationship with Scootaloo. If anypony is gonna humble Dash the most, it's gonna be Scoots. I can't wait to see what they do with those two.

 

Oh, and Twilight's my least favorite, but I still like her, just not as much as her friends. She and Fluttershy might switch spots soon, though.

[Yurikun 34]

for me I have always had a problem liking Pinkie Pie. I don't hate her but liking her is too strong of a word. the only times I've likeed her is when she is well written during some Pinkie focused episodes A la' Party of One, To Many Pinkie Pies and Pinkie Pride. other than that she (to me) is a total spaz and tends to annoy the dickens outta me.

[Jeric 46,851]

You hit the nail on the head. Those two together hit all the right notes for me. It's a gold mine of theme and character building.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

People disliking Pinkie for being Pinkie.

 

People disliking Rainbow Dash for being Rainbow Dash.

 

People disliking Applejack for being Applejack.

 

People disliking Rarity for being Rarity.

 

People disliking Fluttershy for being Fluttershy.

 

People disliking Twilight for being Twilight. 

 

The wonderful world of plain ol' 'dislike' topics,polled too non the less.

 

These topics are like rocks: You're going to see one. But it's a rock. And chances are its going to do nothing for you. 

 

..unless you're Maud. Because Maud reasons. 

[Squidi 41]

Rainbow dash. Not that i hate her but her attitude does bother me even though i do relate to her sometimes.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

For me, that would be Fluttershy. Honestly, I don't hate her. Heck, I really like her!

 

But compared to the rest of the Mane 6, she is just the least interesting for me. As interesting as some of her episodes are, they end up retreading the same material with little deviation; it seems.

 

Again, that's not entirely bad, but it just doesn't make her as interesting as her friends.

[TheDarkMysteryMan 670]

I like those poll results.

[urapony 41]

Ah so what if 19 people aren't too fond of Dash? That's nothing compared to the well over 550 people who voted her their favorite on the other poll. Glad most people see the soft side to her.

 

As for me, Applejack is my least favorite. I don't care about her or her boring family.

[That One Pone 584]

I dont really understand the hate on Dashie, to be honest, in my opinion she has a lot of room for expansion and has quite a complex character *cough*hidden softie*cough*, unlike the others, say, Fluttershy.

 

My least favourite is Rarity - I know she is there to be a drama queen but sometimes she can get a bit too irritating. Hate on me if you like.

Used to be Rarity, but then I began to appreciate her character a slight bit more. So now, it's Fluttershy. 'Hi, I'm shy, love me I'm cute' is the most cliche of the personalities to me, it's also the weakest of the cuteness types, so she's last place for me. You'd think I'd like her more after she reformed my favorite character Discord, but it surprisingly had no effect on her character and its appeal to me.

 

Doesn't mean I don't like her, I just like the other five more.

[KokuraiNoSenshi 3,463]

Can't believe I am posting this, I hate putting myself on the spotlight...

 

"Least Favorite Mane 6" Huh...? Hm... I don't hate any of them... So I'll list all their flaws

 

Flutters; I wish she would stand up for herself. She is timid, yes, but can overdo it at times & I would love for her to be brave enough to stand up for herself.

 

Rarity; Too whiny, can be heavily focused on causing issues, & is waaaaaay to fashion-y for my tastes.

 

Twilight; Overly panicky (yes I know the irony). It gets soooooo annoying when even I notice when she is overdoing it.

 

Rainbow; Bit too brash & blunt for my liking.

 

Applejack; Can't hate something I don't see enough characterization for, but I certainly can say that she can be way to stubborn at times (again I know the irony).

 

Pinkie Pie; Stop. Being. So. CHEERY! Relax, focus on when things need to be taken seriously, & stop putting rubber horse shoes on or you are going to jump to the moon.

 

*Re-Reads what I said* Wait a minute... Why even bother? Flutters is timid because she doesn't want to hurt her friends' feelings, Twilight is just being a good student, Rarity is heavily passionate & a bit of an actress, Rainbow is straight-forward, AJ is an amazing example of perseverance, & Pinkie brings a smile to my face. See? I just listed everything I find wrong with the mane 6 but was able to look at their problems in a good light. Why? Because THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEM! This is all a bunch of pointless bashing, with no real rhyme or reason. These characters are characters that, if any one of them was taken out, we would be missing something important. We should love their positives, not hate their flaws. Besides, I personally find Flutters' flaws (for example) to make me like her even more. Her flaws make her positives shine harder than if there weren't. Everyone complains about "Mary Sue" this or "OP" that, without realizing the only reason that we have Mary Sues is BECAUSE they aren't flawed. So instead of complaining about the flaws of everypony, praise them for their issues, & let those flaws make their positives shine harder.

[SystemError514. 86]

This one is quite hard for me, but probably Fluttershy.

I like all 6 of the Mane 6, but because Fluttershy is always kind (Besides in Putting Your Hoof Down) that is the only reason why I think.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

That moment when someone dislikes a pony not because of something negative,but something positive.  

 

And before you bother with Ain't Easy Being Breezie,she learned the difference between being 'kind' and being 'kindly detrimental' which is what she basically explained at the end of the episode. 

[UCD 75]

I'd go with RD. People think Twilight is a Mary Sue, but just look at Dashie. She's fast, talented, has the best friends anyone could ask for, and she's already grown enough to have attended the Wonderbolts Academy, flown with the Wonderbolts, competed against the Wonderbolts, and even save the Wonderbolts. All that's left is for her to join them.

 

I feel like she gets a lot of stuff handed to her on a silver platter, and she's got possibly the largest fanbase of any pony (although the Rarity fanclub numbers disagree.)

 

It's not that I don't like Rainbow Dash, because I do. I love her just like I love the rest of the group. I just feel like Rainbow Dash is Equestria's version of Superman. She has too much going for her, and I feel like she hasn't developed much since the beginning of the show.

Okay this topic has somehow evolved from needless hate / attention-seeking hyperbole to...  Disliking characters for their virtues lol?  Really???  I'm just going to get this out of the way before someone else beats me to it:

 

Keep in mind that I'm being as sarcastic as sarcastic can be while standing in a big pile of sarcastic.  There will be many exclamation points.

 

I dislike Rarity because she has a talent for fashion and ambition in the industry!  And omigosh - she made beautiful Gala dresses for all of her friends.  What kind of awful pony does that?!?!

 

I dislike Applejack because she's hard-working and reliable!  And loves her family!  Booooo, family together-ness!

 

I dislike Fluttershy because she is considerate of others' feelings and good with animals!  And because she puts the needs of others ahead of her own!

 

I dislike Twilight Sparkle because she is intelligent and increasingly adept with magic!  Not to mention that she's...  WELL-READ!

 

I dislike Pinkie Pie because she attempts to make the lives of other ponies brighter!  And I absolutely HATE it when she makes me smile and / or laugh!  Laughing is painful for me.

 

I dislike Rainbow Dash because she's f****** awesome!  And has - wait for it - been personally responsible for preventing the deaths of several ponies.  I mean, she prevented a baby from flying off a cliff!  What.  Kind.  Of monster...  Would actually rescue a frightened filly from a well?  Maybe that filly LIKED it in that well!  Rainbow Dash, how tremendously inconsiderate of you!

 

All of it.  All of my sarcasm went into this one post.  There isn't anymore.
