Who Is your least favorite character in the show

[ghostfacekiller39 23,860]

Locking a thread because of a few negative comments towards a character would be an overreaction, I don't see why that would get the thread locked?

I think it'd be because people are being rude and insensitive about their opinions that clearly missed the mark by a mile and then just refusing to listen to reason rather than a few negative comments towards a character. 

 

*cough*

 

But yeahh. I kind of want this thread to get locked at this point. It keeps teetering on a flame war, which is what no one wants.

I think I can see where you're coming from, and I kind of actually agree. I Hope I didn't insult or hurt anpony here, I dind't mean to be rude towards you Rarity Fans. I'n very sorry

I thought how Pinkie was screaming in Fluttershy's face in FV was so unlike her from S1...what happened to the Pinkie that objected to pranking Fluttershy, knowing her anxieties and insecurities? Instead Pinkie just screams loudly about all of the things Fluttershy most fears, making her cry. What the hay?

 

It's called "faults of the moment". You do it,i do it,we all do it. Quite frankly all of us have a moment where we are being less than our usual selves -- perhaps abit more overbearing than we should be,however that doesn't mean our true character is ruined for a moment of fault.   

 

As for your 'screeching/yelling,blah blah' issue,that's always been Pinkie..since her 1st scene basically..

[MrButterscotch 9]

I understand what you mean, and I'm also aware of the fact that she has quite a few negatives. It was anyways more like a joke but you already got that, so yeah

I'd say Rarity, she just doesn't have much personality in her episodes in my opinion

I just think fans of  RD are obnoxious and overrate her, which makes me hate her, even though she isn't that bad of a character

Out of everyone, I think she's the most obnoxious and overrated. So this dosent help me.

@,Sir i have no idea what you are talking about or trying to imply. Perhaps you were saying you like Maud? I like Maud too. 

 

 

Edited because you edited: I knew you liked Maud,no need to edit your entire post to hide it.

I don't think that this thread ever got as bad as you're making it out to be. People weren't violently insulting each other or harassing others. I think that people may have shared some of their opinions in an uncivilized matter, but by no means was this ever a war zone.

I never claimed it to be a war zone With all of these passive attacks and defensive fans, it's been pretty close to becoming a giant argument several times.

This sums it up nicely, and it's all downhill when it gets to that point.

And yet this thread isn't locked. I'm surprised early this point.

Because Jeric kept it reasonable for so long :\He had people being civil and everything, but without that voice of reason, nasty comments about characters will be made and people will get offended. 

 

Hence, why I've been opposed to all threads like this in the past - they've only created problems, and that's where this one seems to be heading.

I actually feel that, although Rarity isn't my favorite of the 6 because I relate less to her, I think she is the best -- as in most complex -- character. She is flawed and her episodes show her facing that and working through it. I honestly don't feel any of the other 5 can match the complexity of Rarity's character. She is so well-explored and I love how believable a character she is. I'm also surprised you feel that she doesn't have much personality in her episodes, because I feel like the critique might be more toward "she has too much" with all the flailing and drama she brings to an intense moment. imo Rarity is the simply the best written of the 6, even though I say that Fluttershy is my favorite because she is the most like me. I completely understand how someone could be annoyed by Fluttershy too, though.

Tell your friend that "Maud is Maud.. Maud is Maud..  ". 

 

You showed good character for making the call to edit it out,Maud is proud of thee -- as you can clearly see.

Strange. When I started to watch the show I didn't like Rarity. But I've never thought that, I even thought the opposite: like @Obsidian Sky said, she had too much personality for me to handle.

You are a gentleman and a scholar. I think one reason I have a larger tolerance for what people consider 'out of character' moments is because I tend to not loose focus on larger picture aspects of the story such as theme, plot progression, organic cadence of dialog, etc. I don't want to get hung up on moments like Rarity yelling, 'Mine!', or Rainbow Dash dealing with animals. I may be a firm believer that minutiae can add to the tapestry of the characters ... but it can be a double edged sword.  

 

I will say that I cringe a little when people bring up the five 'Key' Episodes as out of character moments and reasons to dislike a character. They were intentionally crafted that way. Without them, then the theme behind Season 4 and the catalyst to Season 5 falls apart.

as well.  Rarity kind of wears her emotions on her sleeve. She comes across (to me at least) as someone who has emotional expression turned up a few notches. It's one of the reasons I find her so damn endearing.

Fluttershy fans are overprotective to the point of being violent

Pinkie Pie fans are very loud and annoying

Rarity and Applejack fans can be very pretentious and snooty

Twilight fans can be very doom-mongering

 

Yet I don't hate any of them

I have not seen any of that really, just the flood of Rainbow Dash fans on literally any site, if it's MLP or not. And actually, they are a combination of all those things. Overprotective, loud, annoying, snooty, and... Doom mongering? What does that have to do with Twilight fans?

lol I couldn't find any good reasons, though I said doom mongering because of the Twilicorn drama back in the day.

 

Though it may be a shitty example, my point is that it's unfair to hate a character just because you don't like their fans(and it's also unfair to judge a fanbase based on a few bad apples. I mean, I still love AJ and Rarity and their fans despite having some of the my worst experiences in this fandom involving fans of those two, from EQD to Derpibooru, and even here)

This is turning sour quickly 

[~SadisticFluttershy~ 779]

Dang some of you don't have very good answers lol. Sorry!

 

 

Anyway. My least fave pony is Rarity. I have my reasons. I read some of yalls answers about Rarity.

She is a whiny, stubborn, needy sometimes greedy pony and way to self centered with her appearence.

 

Episodes that explain this: 1) Look Before you sleep.

In the episode, Rarity was too focused on making the branches look all pretty instead of taking them down as instructed. For me that seems like she's careless because the storm that was scheduled for that day will take it down anyway and create a huge mess. When it starts raining she starts complaining about her precious mane getting all wet. Ofc, AJ, get's all annoyed about it. AJ finds a park table for her to go under. Rarity however complains that she'll get her hooves muddy when clearly she doesn't understand that she can wash them off later. It's not the end of the world.

Later on in the episode they both get into a fight that Twilight knew about the whole time. On my perspective, AJ was a bit disrespectful for some of her actions. Eating with her mouth open, yelling at Rarity pretty much the entire episode and not using reason. Rarity though was a bit arrogant herself for interrupting AJ after she burped but didn't allow AJ to say excuse me right away. Near the end of the episode when they all turn in for the night, Rarity and AJ were having a rough time sharing the bed together and Rarity was all worried about the sheets not being perfect. Right there I'm like... SERIOUSLY??? AJ said screw that, I'm taking the blanket over and then Rarity kicks her off and makes the bed again. *Smh*. The way Rarity even gets into bed like that, I just wonder... How the hell do you even do that? 2nd, that's the most retarded way of getting into bed ever. AJ does a cannon ball which I'm surprised she didn't hurt herself doing that.  Then later on when Twilight wakes up and gets pissed off because her friends ruined her first slumber party and then a lightning strike hits a tree outside of her home. AJ pulls the tree in (Which was the dumbest thing I've ever seen). Ofc they get all mad which i don't blame them. Rarity is all focused of cleaning the little things instead of getting rid of the big obvious things. LIKE THE TREE.

I'll give credit to AJ for apologizing and Rarity realizing that she needs to stop being a clean freak for just a few minutes to help her friend with the big problem. They do that ofc and got along from there. But they were both acting like children and should've just acted like adults from the very beginning.

 

2) A dog and pony show.

In this episode, the main annoying things don't really happen until she gets captured by one of the diamond dogs. But before that, Rarity had spike along with her to look for gems. I found it pretty neat that she can find gems using a spell. But used Spike to dig them up because she didn't want to put ANY effort into getting the gems herself. Later when she gets captured by the diamond dogs, I was impressed with her technique in trying to get free from the diamond dogs. Which of course, whining, complaining and so forth which hurts a dogs ears or anyones ears. Much much annoyance, but funny as hell.

Instead of taking the opportunity of being set free when one of the dogs said "Well do anything!". Instead of being set free, she wanted to take charge over them which was the stupidest thing she could ever do in a situation like that. The dogs do eventually realize that they are stronger and more independent than Rarity is and takes over again and makes her do the work again. (That's all I got really)

 

3) Rarity takes Manehatten.

 

I very well questioned her Generosity in this episode. In the very beginning everything was cool and she was nice to everypony which I like to see in a individual like herself. However, she didn't realize that since she's in a competition and that it's for everypony for themself. She gets cheated out from her own original line by allowing one of the competitors she knew to use her fabric. She should've never given her an entire roll of it because karma will bite you. So, she runs back to the hotel room crying her eyes out and then all of a sudden figures out what she'll do for a new line. Hotel Shiek was it?

She uses her friends to make the dresses for her though it would go alot faster with more than 1 pony working on them, but she was all caught up in her own needs than to her friends needs. Like rest or food. Rarity had quite an attitude in this. I very will give my respect to the other mane 6 for continuing the work on the dresses even after being treated with disrespect. The next morning, Rarity rushes in and takes the dresses without even thanking her friends. That again is Karma. I would be pissed too if I worked all night to make sure the dresses were perfect and never got a thank you for all your help. Her friends didn't show up to the competition because of the disrespect they've gotten. That made Rarity realize that she let her generosity get out of control and that it made her lose all of her common sense and attitude being out of line. At the end, she got kindness from Coco after she quit being that other ponies slave worker and gave Rarity her trophy and a present (The rainbow fabric). Rarity's redemption was apologizing and having to stay in manehatten for awhile but gave that job to Coco as a thank you. 

 

Those are the 3 episodes of Rarity that I really just didn't like.

That doesn't prove that I hate rarity and everything about her, No. I just dislike her, but I like her in a way. I'd still be friends with her even after all that nonsense. I did smile at the fact at the end of rarity takes manehatten of that redemption.
