Trixie's role in the EQG universe


Unlikeable Pony

Recommended Posts

So, a thread on 4chan the other day got me thinking; What is Trixie's "Role", as far as interacting with others currently in the universe? In the pony world, there's very obvious chemistry between her and twilight, and she's got a very real character archetype and thing that she does (stage magic and all that), but in the Human world... she's kind of flat. Sure she yells out random crap, but without her ability to do actual magic, it comes across as more random and kind of brings stuff to a halt.

At the same time, she has ZERO reasons to have character interactions with Twilight, deleting a MASSIVE aspect of her character: There's really no reason for her to ever enter into a rivalry with twilight, as Human twilight's personality is different from pony twilight enough that she's probably not going to get into fights with trixie for petty reasons, and without magic, there's no reason for Trixie to come into conflict with twilight in trying to show her up.


So really, if they're going to keep reusing trixie, what purposes could she have besides just being a blatant cameo or fan pandering? Honestly, At this point, she would make for a better Rival for RAINBOW DASH in the human world since the two of them have some pre-existing rancor with each other from RR, and as braggarts and individuals looking to be in the spotlight in a show sense have a legitimate reason to come into conflict with each other on occasion.

Just because they use a character doesn't mean it's fan pandering. The ponies from Equestria were just humanfied obviously. No one really serves a purpose besides the main characters and Vinyl Scratch, Cheerilee and Big Mac I guess, in the actual movies other than to fill up space and be there to resemble Equestria in an alternate universe.

 

She obviously was just a minor antagonist in Rainbow Rocks to battle the Rainbooms, battle Rainbow Dash in the guitar battle, etc. and she had a killer song.

 

If her not having a big role upsets you then why not complain about the CMC, Derpy, etc.

Why do we need some big role for every character...we don't.

 

In other words, who cares XD
