what is your favorite episode starring your favorite character?

[Sparklefan1234 161,602]

Hi! 

 

I asked this question to the folks over at the Twilight Sparkle Fan Club and I thought I'd take the opportunity to ask the other members here the same question.

 

"What is your favorite episode starring your favorite character?"

 

For an example, My answer was:

 

 "My favorite Twilight centric episode is "Amending Fences" because it took a simple few second scene from the pilot episode and added a new layer to Twilight's story."

 

I'd love to read your answers.

Wonderbolts Academy, it's a good accumulation of Dash's growth up to that point. Had the show ended in S3 like it was originally intended to, this would've been a great episode to cap off her WB journey. It's pretty much everything I want in a Dash episode

 

Plus it was a great follow up to Sleepless In Ponyville in a sense

Season 4 Episode 13: Simple Ways

 

Applejack's my favorite pony; hate on me for enjoying those slow-motion shots.

[Dark Qiviut 22,160]

Hurricane Fluttershy, for excellent characterization of FS and RD, an excellent internal conflict that many of us struggle with everyday, revolutionizing Fluttershy's "shyness" into a psychologically crippling phobia, and the feeling of triumph when she faced her fear and flew through it.

@RealityPublishing I feel the same way about Twilight Sparkle .

Twilight's Kingdom. We see just how much Twilight has grown and how fit she really is for her new role as royalty. Twilight makes the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of friendship, second only to laying down her own life. That's one of my favorite moments in the entire series, echoing her words in the Season 2 premiere: "Friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!"

"Lesson Zero."

Twilight is great in this for a wide variety of reasons. She's cute and funny as always, but her actions become sorta unsettling as the episode goes on. And yet, she's sympathetic because we know how her increasingly questionable actions are caused by insecurity and anxiety, and many of her worries and challenges are at the very least highly relatable to me, if not universal. This is where I really came to identify with her, and it solidified her character trait of placing overly high expectations on herself.

 

it's also significant for the show's most significant change: the move away from Twilight as the primary main character towards a more diverse ensemble focus. Kind of a big deal.

Wonderbolts academy for dash; If I could legitimately call "Hurricane fluttershy" a dash episode though, I'd choose that one: seeing dash in a leader/coach role really worked well.

[TeeSix 116]

I'm agreeing with Megas here, Wonderbolts Academy was an awesome episode. Probably to do with why it's one of two episodes I've ever watched live, and the one that I've of course liked Lightning Dust from ever since.

Lesson Zero. Because crazy Twilight. 

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

Suited for Success for Rarity, I don't think any other episode has encapsulated everything that makes the character so great as this one did.

[Truffles 2,033]

"Equestria Games" for Spike fighting his insecurities and lack of self-worth among his famous friends.

It might get replaced in a week and a half, though... o_o

Pinkie Apple Pie, as I loved her interactions with the apples and especially the scene with "The scariest cave in Equestria"

[Dynamo Pad 10,775]

Lesson Zero for Twilight Sparkle. Twilight was really funny and enjoyable in this episode. This episode also made me like her as a character and I could relate to her in some ways.

[Honeysuckle 135]

S2:E19 "Putting Your Hoof Down" When Fluttershy gets a back bone, but has to realize the difference between standing up for yourself/asserting yourself and just being plain mean to ponies.

Also, fluttershy realizes that she doesn't have to be a push over, she can stand up for herself and still be kind and sweet. She realizes confidence doesn't equal bad pony.

Having Applejack as my favourite character, I think among my favourite episodes featuring her would probably be:

- Applejack's Day Off (that was the title, wasn't it?) I like the way they show Applejack's habits (the opening and closing the gate then walking away was one of the best) I also like the Rainbow Dash addition.

-Apple Family Reunion was also pretty great. It shows the whoooooooole Apple family and the Raise This Barn song is one of my favourite MLP songs

But I like most AJ featured episodes.

"A Slice Of Life" FOR SURE!!! It features all of my fav characters: Vinyl, Octavia, Doctor Whooves, Derpy, and Lyra and Bon Bon!! Judge me if you will. All my favs are background characters!!

[cmarston1 5,951]

Flutter Brutter for Fluttershy.

I really enjoyed this episode for having my favorite characterization of Fluttershy in the series to date and showcasing just how much more confident and assertive she has became sense the series started.

[Chuckles4lyfe 441]

This is such a difficult question to answer. Rainbow Dash has so many fantastic episodes! It's going to be difficult to narrow it down to just 1.

 

For me, it's a toss-up between Testing Testing 1,2,3 & Stranger than Fan-Fiction. TT123 for its great humor, pacing, and lesson that is relatable to both kids and adults alike. Plus, it also stars my favorite mane 6 pairing so that is an added bonus    . 

 

STFF really caught me off with how RD was portrayed. She literally had no chill when talking with Quibble and I absolutely loved every second of it  . I want to see this side of Dashie in more episodes in the future. 

[M'gann M'orzz 745]

Where my Rarity and Pinkie fans at? I know this site has plenty of both yet im seemingly the only Rarity one that's posted here and only one Pinkie one has as well.

[pnylvr 185]

Pinkie Pride. We get to see how much the town appreciates her (normally) at the beginning, and we get to see her personality when someone takes her spotlight and how important she really is to Equestria in general. Also, there's "Pinkie's Lament", the best MLP song so far IMO, and the goof-off (yay laughing Rainbow Dash).

[Sparklefan1234 161,602]

@@M'gann M'orzz,

 

Ok, my favorite Rarity episode is "A Dog and Pony Show" because it showed that even though she may appear to not be able to handle dangerous situations, she used her wits to outwit The Diamond Dogs. Does that make sense? 

Plus, the "whining" scene is hilarious.

 

As for my favorite Pinkie Pie episode, that would have to be "Pinkie Pride" because I really enjoy the musical episodes.

[Tarnation 142]

I must say that Rarity takes manehatten is my favourite Rarity episode.

On behalf of cadance, A canterlot wedding is my favourite episode

On behalf of Sweetie belle, Sisterhooves social

On behalf of aria blaze, RAINBOW ROCKS

[Sabrinie 391]

I really the majority of Rarity's episodes but my absolute favorite that I could watch over and over and over again would have to be "A Dog and Pony Show". She's absolutely perfect in that episode. 

[Looking Glass 197]

Definitely s2e03: Lesson Zero, its the first twilight episode I ever watched, plus I really connected with her following It. Initially, I found it funny, but as it went on, I started seeing myself there, considering I have had stress related breakdowns myself before. Plus, the chari characterization is excellent!

 

Next would be "feeling pinkie Keen" and Twilight's kingdom.
