Which headcanon do you dislike?

I dislike the head cannon that Celestia is all-powerful and all-knowing. It would go a long way for for her likability for her to lose. Yes, getting defeated by vines, Chrysalis, and almost by catapults was fine, but you know what I would love? Celestia getting out-smarted. She is fairly manipulative, so somepony humbling her would be pretty interesting.

For all those who are talking about Scootaloo being disabled being "random filler head canon":

 

- Firstly, what's wrong with random filler head canon? That's the point of it - to fill in gaps that canon left.

 

- Secondly, it being random filler is not even accurate. "Flight to the Finish" outright states it's abnormal for a Pegasus her age not to be flying and implies the reason for that is improper growth of her wings ("What if my wings never grow?"). In other words, the episode pretty much right tells you that her problem with flying is not because she doesn't know how to, but because her wings are improperly structured. This, my friends, is what we call a disability!

 

As for me, there aren't many head canons that set me off; I prefer to have an open mind. Some I'm not as interested in, but the only one I outright dislike is Rainbow Dash being blood related to Scootaloo in any way (sisters, mother and child, etc.). I think it cheapens the feeling brought in "Sleepless in Ponyville" where Rainbow voluntarily agreed to be her sister, despite having no blood obligation to.

That the 1000 years in between Nightmare Moon's banishment and return were peaceful and prosperous and nothing bad ever happened.  Sorry, but I feel that's like saying the Crusades happened and then everything was peachy keen until this Hitler guy showed up. I mean you have the rise and fall of the Griffonstone (The show was vague enough not to mention when the idol was gained and lost) the founding of Ponyville, the advent of weather technology and if the comics are to be taken as canon, multiple Changeling attacks which wiped out the gem-eyed Pegasus and destroyed another major city.  

 

Basically I feel like the 1000 year interval between the show's lore and present is a wide open gap that's hasn't been filled and having it be just this time of peace and prosperity is both a bit boring and down-putting to the ponies that lived through it. I would love to see them add some more details to this period of Equestrian history.

Pinkie Pie being a crazed serial killer. I've seen some very interesting takes on it, but most of the time it's just not enjoyable at all to me.

I don't know if I'd call it a 'headcanon' exactly, but changelings talking in their changeling form. It clashes against my headcanon too much. In all their appearances in the show, they've never spoken as changelings. They've only spoken in some other pony's form. I've had to stop reading good fanfics after a changeling talks because it bothers me so much.

Daring Do can't be real. She belongs in a book because she's a projection of Rainbow Dash! 

Daring Do is really real. In fact not only did the mane six see her but Rainbow actually was in her book. So basically, the Daring Do books are biographies, not stories.

You misunderstood. I saw Daring Don't. People hated the episode because it destroyed this ridiculous headcanon of theirs that Daring Do can't be real. There was never any evidence that she couldn't be. And if you asked, you'd just hear that she's supposed to be some visual representation of Rainbow Dash projecting herself into the character when she's reading the books, which is stupid considering that Daring Do is on every cover.

Strnage how Dash couldn't ask Daring for a copy of this so caled rare daring doo book when she knows he author, unless Daring Don't was all in Dash's head. LIke the whole episdow was from the cllision frm the tree.

To me, the weirdest head canon is "Starswirl became Discord"  I mean WAU? :wau: ​​ To start with, the comics mention he helped Celestia & Luna get The Elements of Harmony to fight him (not that the comics are super reliable, but still)
