Thoughts on Flash Sentry Haters

[Mantis01 19]

Better start doing a topic on My Little Pony topic.

 

There been people who like  Equestria Girls, there been people who hate. The character who got the most hate was Flasn Sentry, who Twilight gotten a crush on and I thought fan hating the Archies comic Sonic and Sally paring was worse.

 

The main reason bronies are hating on Flash is because he pair with Twilight and they want to pair their gary sue OCs with her. I find this Flash hate to be ridiculous, what wrong with Twilight having a crush on Flash and what wrong with he being on the series. It not like he was in love with Twilight in Equestria Girls, he just wanted to help Twilight. I get that bronies like Twilight Sparkle, I also like her as well, but not too much and don't want to pair her with a OC's character. Why would they want to pair their OC with her, why do they fall in her with Twilight, and why would Twilight like their OCs, she have to know them. Back to Flash Sentry, I really want to know about his character, his strength and weakness. I do want to see him in season five. 

 

What are your thoughts ?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I didn't like him because I thought he was a bland character, and I don't feel like Twilight needed to have a love interest at all, which is really the only purpose he served. I also don't have a problem with anyone who likes him.

I like Flash Sentry, but sorry, I didn't like his relation with Twilight in the movie.

He looks like a good character, and as long as he stays away from Twilight in the season 5 (or if they just becomes friends, which is unlikely), I wouldn't mind.

I just dislike the idea of one of the mane 6 falling in love with a stallion. -_-

Ah yes, the stereotypical "reason" as to why bronies hate Trash...Sen...damn it, one day, I will find a good nickName.

 

I hate the sh*t out of Flash Sentry because he was a plot device, a poorly made one, at that. A romantic interest because the script called for it. He had zero bbackground, and was there for the sake of being THERE.

 

In terrible movie, he somehow the worst thing about it.

Not because Twilight is my "waifu". I'm indifferent about Twilight (sue me, Arty ;o ), but because he's a terribly badthought-out charActer in a terribly thought-out movie.

Or maybe it's because he was created specifically to pander to the adolescent female demographic and has the characterization of a tuna sandwich.

Back that sh*t up, that's my favorite type of sandwich you're insulting, guy.

I thought he was okay and sweet but I think he should have more character to him. But personally I have always shipped Twily and Big Mac

My apologies to tuna sandwiches everywhere; they deserve better than to be likened to Flash Sentry.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I agree wth people who don't like Flash Sentry. Making a character just to get shipped with one of the main characters is sick and twisted. It's horrible to do, and a huge waste of time. And accentuates what I don't like about Equestria Girls in the first place. HIGH SCHOOL MELODRAMA IS HORRIBLE.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

If they gave Flash a personality and a story I would like him more but at the moment he has less to him then most background ponies.

Characters should be able to stand on their own not exist for the soul purpose of being a crush.

Aside from the fact that he was basically just a tool to shove an unnecessary romance subplot into the movie, I'd say people more generally dislike the thought of any of the Mane 6 characters - with their wonderful personalities - being paired with anyone who has a distinct lack of personality. Gotta jump on the hatewagon with this, but yeah, Flash really is about as bland as bland can get. That being the case, I can more than understand why hardcore Twi fans would revile the thought of adorkable lil' Twily getting with someone with less personality than Boulder.

 

It's the same reason SoarinDash leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Soarin doesn't really have much personality to speak of, at least not the way he's depicted in the show. I have nothing against those who do ship Flashlight (or SoarinDash, for that matter), but so long as Flash remains an undeveloped waste of space, it's not a ship I'll ever get behind.

[Feather Grass 312]

I can't give my opinion as he doesn't appear much (nor speak much thinking about it)

What are your thoughts ?

 

Actually, I'd argue that most people hate Flash because he has no character. I dislike Flash and I don't even have an OC.  If he had any kind of personality, I think people would like him more. He doesn't. He has nothing TO like.

[Live Forever 316]

That OP... just... no.

 

So apparently people who want to ship their Gary Sue OCs with Twilight hate Flash just because of their OC shipping. I want to give you the general reasons people hate the character:
 

1. He has no personality.
2. His relationship with Twilight is too forced and awkward.
3. He is only on screen for the sake of "romantic interest." Say what you want, but Equestria Girls was not a romance movie. It was an adventure movie. And that pointless subplot about Sunset framing Twilight could have been cut out altogether.

 

Did I mention anything about OCs in there? Not at all. Research, dude. Research and get your facts straight.

 

I'm not trying to come off as aggressive. I'm just trying to give the reasons.

Not to be rude

 

I seen pony oc on deviantart all the time, the are some to do pair them with Twilight. 

 

I see Flash as minor character and have no reason to hate him. In fact Flash is a helpful character. 

 

Equestria Girls is  to be based on teen films. In teenflm there is a boy to does try to help the girl, it was also be reverse, the girl will try to be helpful with the boy 

[Espurr 449]

This is just an opinion. And as we know, they tend to be a little harsh. But no matter what, the haters are going to hate. I CAN respect their opinion, but I'm not a hater.

Seriously? That sounds like a movie critique. And I say as I say to them. Just enjoy. Don't look at the bad sides, just ENJOY IT. But you are entitled to your own opinion so don't take this the wrong way. (I tend to over defend stuff I like)

[The Crimson Cross 7,532]

They're just jealous that Twilight is already taken. That's all..  :comeatus:

Nothing you proceeded to say seemed at all rude.

So?  going from that to "The main reason bronies are hating on Flash is because he pair with Twilight and they want to pair their gary sue OCs with her. . . [sic]" , is a complete non-sequitur.

 

I see Flash as minor character and have no reason to hate him. In fact Flash is a helpful character. 

 

 

You could call him helpful, but the only time he was truly helpful, he could have been substituted for literally anyone else and it wouldn't have made a difference; moreover, the problem itself was written specifically so that he could solve it to serve the plot and make the viewers think that he wasn't completely worthless as a character.

Yes, that is called a cliché.

Don't look at the bad sides?  If there was no criticism, nothing would ever improve.

I don't have a problem with him. It's just...would they have a real connection with each other? 

[Mantis01 19]

1.He has no personality.

 

Being helpful and gentlest  is a personality trait on fim ans television show

 

His relationship with Twilight is too forced and awkward.

 

Actually it is Twilight who have a crush on him.

I mention that Equestria Girls is based a teen film. There going to be the teen cliches. Asking a girl out to a dance is one of the common teen film cliches Sunlight Simmer want to keep Twilight from getting that crown, by framing her, she can't go to the Formal. 

[Bunnyhop123 194]

And? There's more to a personality than a few adjectives.  For example, Fluttershy is also helpful and gentle, but when describing her one can list her goals, her completed challenges, her growth as a character, etc.  We don't know a thing about Flash Sentry besides he's 'helpful', and Twilight has a crush on him.

 

 

Actually it is Twilight who have a crush on him. 

 

 

And?  Their relationship is still forced and awkward.  That statement hasn't changed a thing.

 No, there don't have to be clichés, and FiM is a testament to that.  If the show can fight stereotypes, why can't the film?  The only reason that  Flash Sentry exists is to capitalize on said stereotypes in a manner both insulting to the audience and to the portrayed characters. And, again, his role of helping Twilight get out of being framed could've been filled by literally ANYONE ELSE.  He's just there to add another check to the list of the typical teenage film clichés, and I find that insulting to what FiM stands for.  Now, were he to be expanded upon in the future, I – and those that share my opinion – will stop "hating" him so much, but as of now, he has no business existing.

I'd like to know where he got that idea from, too. Pray tell, Mantis01?

And the problem was solved in less than forty-five seconds.

 

Yes, that is called a cliché.

 

Stemming from this, anyone can conclude that cliches are STUPID.

You the Nostalgia Critic or something? You are as great as him at pointers. Great job.

Helpful?! All he did was one thing. ONE DAMN THING. And gentle?! Where did you get that from? He has less than two dozen lines in the entire movie! How can you find his gentle side there? I've checked. It. Isn't. There.

 

Actually it is Twilight who have a crush on him. 

 

We've been over this. They have an awkward crush on each other. Even if it contributed to the film at all, it's still fucking awkward! I'm starting to wonder if you've seen the movie at all!

Blah blah blah, cliches, blah blah blah, useless subplot that goes nowhere, blah blah I DON'T CARE!

I'm sorry you had to see that rant. Damn it. It feels like I'm Joshscorcher and Mantis01 is Bhaalspawn.

Exactly. Faust meant for the show to have as little stereotypes as possible. This was not from Faust. It's... Something out of a... BARBIE show!

 

Also, blah blah blah, I hate Flash Sentry, yadda yadda yadda.

 

My rant is officially over.

Also, I don't think he's a brony, as all he's really done is reference the show, and that could simply be due to its popularity among his internet demographic.
