Too much Rarity this season

I am not the biggest fan of Rarity but...Put those Pitchforks away Rarity Lovers...but I have to disagree I don't think she has been used any more than the others during this season

Considering she is one of the main characters, and didn't get a highlight episode for ages in earlier seasons, I wouldn't say she's being overused. 

 

Then again, I'm a hardcore Rarity fan, so this probably isn't an unbiased opinion...

I sorta agree with this. She has been featured in many of the episodes lately. However, in some of the past seasons, i never felt that she got as much screen time as some of the others. However, we have not had enough Fluttershy episodes lately. Thats why i am looking forward to the upcoming one that is said to be about her. FINALLY! Lol


:muffins:  :derp: Derpy and rainbow dash, Are best ponies! :dash:  :sneer:

Rarity is one of the most versatile characters they have in the mane six, I'm glad she's getting attention. 

 

I would LOVE to see Rarity getting Dash to open up to her girly side a bit more though, especially after this episode.

Nah, I wouldn't say so. I'd just expect we'll get a HUGE drought of rarity soon is all.

Like, I bet after the Rarity/pinkie episode it'll be zero rarity episodes, like how we had all the dash episodes early on in S5 and virtually no dash after that.
 

 


Yeah it's a bit ridiculous that Fluttershy has been shoved so far into the background but that's not got anything to do with Rarity being used a lot.

Fluttershy's got problems in that there's alot less to "Do" with fluttershy that's not just "overcome shyness" yeah? she doesn't even seem to have any hobbies like Rarity, sadly. (though I'd LOVE for an episode showing her to be a closet otaku or draw manga in her free time)

 

 

Rarity will soon be alicorn XD

There can't possibly be too much Rarity. Even if all the characters were Rarity and Rarity clones, it'd still not be too much.

Actually kind of weird though, previously it had seemed like that was more a thing with AJ and dash was more okay with her girly side than AJ (like how she'd help Rarity model dresses in S1)

She feels like she's taking up a lot of major roles this half of the season. Honestly it wouldn't be much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that the other 4 are severely lacking right now, especially poor Fluttershy after S5 screwed her.

 

Rarity is my second favorite character, and even I think they need cut back

Does anyone feel like that they have been using Rarity too much this season? As of this episode she has appeared in 9 of them and was mentioned in one.

 

So what?

 

I LOVE YOU RARITY SO MUCH (i could almost marry you)

YES!! I agree completely.. I mean.. I don't dislike Rarity in any way, but seeing

too much of her just seems to make me a little bored of seeing her.. :dry:

 

I'm glad somepony else noticed and decided to make a thread on the manner..

 

To summarize, she's had major episode long roles in 3 episodes

- The gift of Maud Pie (Being with them the entire time)

- Gauntlet of fire (Traveling along disguised with Twilight)

and of course

- Saddle row review.. But as that's a "Rarity episode" it doesn't really count towards her overshowing..

 

She has been in basically every single episode this season except "On your marks", though her showing

in "Newbie Dash" didn't really count towards her over-showing as ALL of the mane 6 were there..

 

So far the tally is like this:

 

Twilight showings: 6

Starlight showings: 5

Pinkie Pie showing: 6

Fluttershy showings: 5

Applejack showing: 5

Rainbow showings: 5

Rarity showings: 7

Yes, there has. She's not that great of a character either, and her fans are kind of obnoxious.

Im sorry your jealous that unlike yours our episodes are actually consistently good and we never get comical trainwrecks like you guys get <3.

 

Let me put it this way, they could give me 20 Rarity episodes and 20 Dash episodes and going by how the show's gone till now, I could be confident that 80% of the time, Rarity's episodes would beat out Dashes. 

Am I obnoxious sure? But it largely comes from years of having to deal with absolute bullshit and double standards being targeted toward my favorite characters, while things like the endless spinning in circles of Fluttershy are ignored and Dash's jerky moments almost never being given as much flak as Rarity's.

wot?

 

Fluttershy's been getting a lot for her direction since Season 4 and Rainbow Dash's been grilled for just about everything she does since season 2, often in hyperbole. There's just as many double standards towards RD as there is Rarity

With the way Rainbow Dash has been constantly featured throughout the other seasons I didn't seem to notice this, perhaps it had a buffering effect against the constant Rainbow Dash appearances.

Rainbow Dash actually felt pretty lacking in S5(though not as bad as FS), and she didn't feel like she had a more notable presence in S4 compared to the other 5. S3 was really the only season where she took on a lot of big roles compared to others

What has Fluttershy been getting since Season 4? Cause I remember that as the season where they tried to cover their lack of any actual ideas for her with crazy gimmicks, and Season 5 as the season where she basically did nothing outside of the opener and Scare-Master (and Scare-Master while having technically a good moral kinda just reinforced that).

 

As for RD, it's not as frequent as it used to be but back in the day you had loads of people just brushing off RD in episodes like Mare-Do-Well or Best Pet Win as just "Bad Writing" while Rarity in Sisterhooves and Sweet and Elite was her being "A Bitch". And hell even to this day you still have people probably obsess over her and Spike's gem in Secret of My Excess than just about any other critcized action of any character.

RD, AJ, Rarity, Twilight, all had the same amount of regular focus episodes in S5 at 3 each. Pinkie had more at 4 and Fluttershy had less at 2 (and frankly she's so overshadowed in Hoofields its hard to even call it a Twi-Flutters episode) (obviously if you include the 2 parters then things tip in Twilight's favor though not as much as usual since the S5 opener was more of a group episode than most 2-parters)

- Fluttershy gets a lot of flak for her direction. People have been pretty vocal about how she's either being used for gimmicks or how she learns the same things in her episodes

 

- Where have you been heard people bashing Rarity over those two episodes? I've heard nothing but praise for them. As for MMDW, it can pretty much be chalked up as bad writing because everyone came out in that episode worse. And I don't know about you but I thought MtBPW was both awesome and severely underappreciated. The bit with SoME is bullshit though
