That varies too, my princess, although I suspect largely for plot convenience. There is a lot to suggest her wingpower may be inhibited by her confidence problems, but would be otherwise that of a normal pegasus pony - even back when she very first met Twilight, she was able to bowl her out of the way simply by rushing to see a baby dragon, and later in the same season (even before her wingpower training regime) she was able to extend her wingpower onto a fully laiden cart of frogs (plus saddlebags and a basket) without visible effort. I don't feel facing her with the human-world clouds (which, like the Crystal Empire clouds, are much wilder than equestrian ones) would be a good idea. ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexshy 14,711 April 21, 2018 Share April 21, 2018 I still have much more confidence in her abilities. The key point she must have it likewise to... "unlock" those abilities.

"unlock" those abilities. We will see. It is repeatedly demonstrated that Flutters' inner strength and power is equal to the rest of the (massively OP) mane 6; this is mitigated by her shy personality and Element. As we can see with the Iron Will incident and to a lesser extent the more recent Manehatten one, an assertive, overconfident Flutters is NOT the lovable pone we enjoy the company of... And I don't know what the effect of her being in conflict with her Element would be, but it can't possibly end well. 1 ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flutterstep 47,324 April 21, 2018 Share April 21, 2018 I do feel sorry for Fluttershy. She has so many flaws and each of them mainly affect her, as opposed to others (like Pinkie's and Rainbow's flaws). She's also rarely appreciated for her kind acts and what it takes for her to overcome fears that other ponies think nothing of. @Recherche *boop* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel in many cases the Element each pone embodies becomes a power multiplier when the pone is acting within her alignment - just as Dashie was able to unlock her rainboom when she acted to save Rarity, Fluttershy is able to assert astounding strength when acting in support or defense of her friends - not only her Stare, but when she more than doubled her Wingpower to assist Dashie in the water transfer. To use the phrase from EqG - when she is "showing the truest part of herself". 7 minutes ago, Recherche said: Reveal hidden contents Don'i mind me...
