Harshreality 60 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 I just realised something. Each of the mane six encounters their own rival/enemy in the series, all except pinkie pie... 1) Twilight has Trixie 2) Applejack has the Flim Flam brothers 3) Dash had Gilda and still has Lightning Dust 4) Fluttershy has Iron Will and had Discord 5) Rarity has whoever it was from Rarity takes Manehattan... Does anyone think there is a parallel to these for Pinkie Pie? Seems it's kinda strange they would leave her out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything I'd consider Discord Pinkie Pie's dark reflection. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megas 28,133 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 I wouldn't say Iron Will or Discord count for Fluttershy. I'd also argue that Gilda could technically count for Pinkie Pie too. The closest for Pinkie Pie was probably Cheese Sandwich but he's not a villain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerned Bystander 2,905 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 She's had her share of conflict, there's no doubt about that, but her conflicts tend to be internal as opposed to focused on an external villain, just look at episodes like "Griffin the brush off" and "Party of one". It's the stereotype clown dichotomy of being happy and bubbly on the outside but at the cost of carrying around a lot of suppressed emotional issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirox the pony 1,336 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 You're right she doesn't have much of a nemesis, although considering how friendly she's supposed to be it's understandable why the writers have decided not to give her one. No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone think there is a parallel to these for Pinkie Pie? Seems it's kinda strange they would leave her out. 1.) Isn't Trixie reformed? Or isn't she hinted at being so? 2.) Yeah, Flim and Flam. You're right there 3.)Dash and Gilda is no more But Dash has Lighting Dust, The wonderbolts, and Daring Do 4.) Fluttershy doesn't have any... Iron Will doesn't count, I really don't think so at least. Also Discord is reformed. 5.) Rarity... Her own villain is her generosity. The person in Manehattan, forgot her name, but she was a villain but she isn't an opposite of Rarity. No one ever said she was nor is it ever implicated. Yes, she was the antagonist but she is no villain much less; opposite. I agree with the same reasoning for Fluttershy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Letter 1,832 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 Yeah, Flim and Flam. You're right there I never bought them as villains. They didn't even have animosity for the apples although after Applejack's about face on the elixir issue, I wouldn't be surprised if they did develop some. As far as Pinkie is concerned, I don't think she needs a nemesis of sorts. It might not work for her character. Silver Letter!!!

Pastel 7,630 June 28, 2015 Share June 28, 2015 (edited) I really don't see how such character could exist. A villain throwing parties? I really can't see it. Plus she already had Cheese Sandwich. Although he wasn't evil, he was somehow a rival for Pinkie Pie. Edited June 28, 2015 by Blobulle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glike 488 June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 (edited) Eh, Iron Will was in no way a villain. I think it's even a stretch to call him an antagonist. Anyway, Pinkie isn't the type to hold grudges, although... I can see someone who insults her family and/or their rock farm and antagonizing her family as being someone she would definitely have some issues with.

Pinkie-Guy 564 June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 Flim and Flam are the villains most counter to a particular element. You could also consider Starlight Glimmer to be a villain directly opposed to Twilight. I don't think we've seen any character directly counter Pinkie on such a basic level. Cheese Sandwich was only a "villain" because Pinkie thought of him that way. It would be neat for Pinkie to have a sworn enemy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singe 2,111 June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 (edited) Lightning Dust is valid. That was some hardcore ruination by Rainbow Dash and the Mane 5. Rainbow Dash throws Lightning Dust under the carriage with all the blame while she wipes her hooves clean of any part of wrong doing and gets what she wants by simply threaten to quit. Need to mention that it was the Mane 5's idea to go to the air base in the middle of a training session unannounced. Fly an air balloon unannounced in the middle of an active air base's training session and see if you can get away with calling the pilots, reckless.

Malinter 3,064 June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 Pinkie Pie is her own personal villian, Especially if she feels alone and lets her carefree spirit supress itself..

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202 June 29, 2015 Share June 29, 2015 I think the best villain for Pinkie is herself, kinda like Pinkamena in a way. I actually find it very interesting when a character who is seemingly always upbeat and positive deals with some kind of internal struggle, plus for me personally that is relatable as well. I personally don't think she needs a direct outside 'villainy' character and I think she might be the most difficult of the mane 6 to give an actual antagonist. 1 Redeem me into childhood.
