What do you think of the "best pony" debate?

[HorsesandMOARGaloar 300]

The constant arguments over which pony is "best pony" is really making some people crack up their sides out!

 

What do you think of the "best pony" debate?

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Well the debate is 100% subjective. There's no true "best pony" just who you personally think is best pony. So yeah, no true best pony.

[(MARVEL) Blue Blood 991]

I just love saying it. There is no true best pony, as Chickorita mentioned, but we still like to hail our favorites as best.

In my case, Pinkie is best pony. :3

It's fine as long as no one takes it seriously/too far or start attacking others since it's all subjective

i think it is rather pointless because there is no real best pony it is all opinion but some people do take it way to far and then it turns into a huge flame war and no one likes those but really i think the debates are sorta kinda pointless because there is no like super real answer to that it is all just opinon.

@archiver

 

Those few flammable rascals are why I love the "best pony" debate, bro!

[Sceethe 704]

rarity is best pony, you guys should know that by now

 

but seriously, its too subjective to really discuss it.

[Pinklady 346]

I loathe the term "best pony". It sounds so childish and is against everything MLP stands for.

[Amethyst Shine 15]

In reality, there is no "best pony". Yes, we all have our favorite ponies, but like they say, nobody is perfect and we're not all "the best".

[User0815 264]

Twilight sparkle is the best, she's cool enough for this 16 year old boy that's how u should know she's the best

[CriticalStylus 65]

Not only is it subjective, but it would be ridiculous if somebody took it seriously. Especially since it was a joke in the first place.

In fact, who takes it seriously?

[Derpaholic 1,155]

The entire debate is childish and completely unnecessary, because EVERYBODY knows that Derpy is best pony.

The term "best pony" is like saying a specific country is the world's "greatest country" there will be no "best" pony all of them are on an equal level 

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

I think it's all in good fun. That's all. I always say Discord is best pony, despite the fact that he isn't a pony at all. 

Ah yes, but realistically, they're all best pony, the way I see it. Every single character is unique and great and hold some kind of special meaning to each individual, so I can't really argue with logic such as that.

Though... King Sombra. Uff.. 

[Jeric 46,852]

Oh I love it when a fan if another Pony goes into why they respond to that character. It gives me insight into the fan since it can be so personal. On more than one occasion I have even had my opinion changed by reading a well composed post that shows me an approach to the character that I hadn't realized.

 

[Ezio Auditore 702]

As far as I'm concerned, there is no debate.

 

[Shanks 10,816]

In most cases it is not meant literally, "best pony" tends to mean in nearly all contexts as just another one of saying favorite pony. There are some times where things can get out hand but most of the time it is people in a calm and civil manner describing why their favorite pony is their favorite pony. A lot of people have very personal reasons why their "best pony" is they favorite pony and I am one of them, I have made it no secret that I love Applejack but despite my personal preferences I can see why others can like certain other ponies as much as I like Applejack.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

The main character is best therefore Twilight is best. Using the phrase to mean "favorite" is acceptable but isn't really a debate.

I think it's dumb cuz Rainbow Dash is the objectively correct answer. No need for debate

[CriticalStylus 65]

Did you just say "Debate"?! Bring it on, "Blizzard Izzard"!

[boiteporte 591]

Well, people are free to think whatever they want. Most people will prefer certain characters over others and that is perfectly normal. I certainly have favourites.

 

Now, starting from here, people are going to express their arguments and that is just fine.

But, to be fair, there is nothing to "debate" really.

[Redacted 71]

It's dumb, everypony is best pony.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

This "Best Pony" debate is subjective. Ones "best pony" will vary from person to person.  

 

However,their is no debate that Pinkie Pie is best pony at being Pinkie Pie because she is Pinkie Pie and only Pinkie Pie can be best Pinkie Pie because Pinkie Pie is best Pinkie.  

[Zygen 6,066]

It's a joke . I never have taken it seriously. I doubt most take it seriously, it's just a funny way to say your favorite pony.

 

Honestly all the characters are well developed and made though, so who is your favorite pony is essentially opinion based, and may be based upon your own personal interests and relatability, among other factors.

 

But there is no real best pony in my opinion, just who is your favorite. It all depends on how you look at it.

 

For example, I've read others posts about why they like their favorite pony, and many of the good ones give me an entirely new way to look at a character and learn to like the character even more. Not to mention liking the character more doesn't hurt me, it just improves my overall enjoyment of the show in my opinion.
