Cart before the Ponies- and the Winner is...

[ManaMinori 4,143]

In "Cart before the Ponies", when Rarity recalls her childhood, and getting second place in creativity, should her flashback have made the first place winner Toola Roola, a g3 pony who canonically wins every art contest, BECAUSE her talent was art, rather than Derpy, who just seemed out of place as the artistic winner, with no explanation as to why?

because its derpy that should be self explanatory... shes awesome o3o

 

but she winning was probably added for a humor effect or whatnot

I don't really see why some random G3 character needed to appear in the background during one minor scene.

Because NM likes the character, and other prior gen characters, so he tends to find creative ways to try and include them in the show.

Derpy's inclusion as the winner is an example of ironic (or possibly even satirical) humor. The punchline being that the least expected winner still comes on on top.

The reason why Derpy ended up winning was because she was the least likely pony to have been capable of achieving victory, and it was meant to be played as a joke at Rarity's expense.

So just because she's derp-eyed means she's less capable at achieving greatness? Wow!

Toola Roola makes a hell of a lot more sense than Derpy.

Derpy works in mysterious ways that we cannot fathom.
