PonyPowaX1000 69 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I guess he was decent, aside from Twilight not mentioning him, but creators filled in the possible plot holes with flashbacks . he's an ok character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I was actually really surprised, the fact that Twilight had a brother and that they don't look anything alike. But seeing his attitude and bravery, I kinda want a big brother like him :] ~Signature created by Chaotic Discord~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectRKA 2,848 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 (edited) Thought he was a pretty cool character. And you know what ? The funny thing about him, is that his mane/tail looks somewhat like my OC's mane/tail. Take a look: Shining Armor: Audio Flash (My OC) It's funny because I had my OC made way before the season 2 finale.

Eternal_Eclipse 28 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 All in all, I wish he looked atleast somewhat like her. Other than that everypony, I liked him. He was brave, caring and generally a good brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xievie 498 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I was't really attached to him. I would have been if he was introduced much earlier, gotten a few scenes, and had more to do in the show. But now he just feels like a one episode character. "Real life is just a crappy game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart's Desire 181 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 He seemed exactly like what I would expect of Twilight's big brother. A decent, loving, and kind pony. So even though it makes no sense that he was thrown in at the last minute, and somehow couldn't tell he was marrying the wrong woman (I'll just assume he was more under her spell than we realized because the difference between them was obvious) all in all he's a good character and I wouldn't mind seeing more of him.

Archangel 143 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 When I heard he was captain of the Royal Guard. I had this feeling he only got there because Twilight is Princess Celestia's personal protege. Which had to have given her family and her some perks. Plus he just rubbed me the wrong way. He didn't seem as... Stoic as the others guards. I wonder if they skimped on the training during that day. He seemed a lot more like a weak spot than the toughest of them. "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

Charming Knight 56 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I was basically like "wow what a guy". Then I proceeded to feel terrible about my shortcomings as a big brother oh ya dude i know exactly how you feel... i saw the episode and was like im just like this guy with my sisters! and as i thought about it more and more i realized how shortly i had fallen from acutally being like him and how nice he was caring but ya i failed horribly Amelia Monicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azura 1,107 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 It feels as if he was forced into the show at the last minute, they could have refined it a little but it was fine.

Cherry Blossom 864 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 He seems very unimportant to me, like how you would feel about any Royal Guard in the show. If I had to compare my big brother to Shining Armor, there would be a huge difference.

KakeiTheWolf 652 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I thought "... Knight in Shining Armor. Really, Hasbro?". Then I thought about how nice it would have been if I didn't have a sibling who was a horrible person. My Music: http://kakeithewolf.bandcamp.com/.

Discovery Dream 592 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 Quoted word-for-word: "Shining Armor? Hahaha! I get it! " I liked him and thought his name was very clever and funny. no rest for the wizardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Fluttershy 1,844 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I expected him to be uptight and snobby but he turned out to be really cool! You know like most ponies in Canterlot are uptight snobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modphase 1,271 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I just found it surprising that at the very end of season 2 they just announced that Twilight had a brother, but he's still pretty cool, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess_Molestia 1,460 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 oh hey another guy in the show... Twilight never mentioned him...just how much time has she been in Ponyville? they never specify Can't visit Ponyville? Show up and say you can't!

pinkiefan1287 610 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 When I saw Shining Armor I was like, cool a male charter in the show who has a pretty cool job and power. Kind wish they brought him up sooner or at least leave hits that Twilight had a brother. Like a picture of him in the background or something. Seeing as he was very important to Twilight. Still I like him and he seems cool. Made by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggler 345 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I thought that he was a decent character. He wasn't really the type that you want to see more of. It's ok if he appears in a couple of episodes, but he is too boring to get a lead role in an episode. Signature made by Midnightive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tol'Satha 163 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 First time he was mentioned: "Someone gave up trying to name you half way through" Hes an awesome character, just kinda sucked that he was never mentioned before. And the name... Who would name a child "Shining Armor"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkazoid 3,493 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 It made me sad I didn't have an older brother.... So I wen't and yelled at my little one for a few minutes Well, when I heard about him: Ehhh, well they might had over-done the character a little, I'm not a big fan of him, but he's okay I guess xD :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadmallon 353 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I was disappointed that he suddenly introduced out of nowhere, and how he was practically a drone of Chrysalis. Everything else is good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,880 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 I liked his design, I liked his voice, I liked his personality, and I liked his role. I didn't like how Hasbro decided to sling-shot him out of their corporate catapult at the very last minute and introduce him at the tail end of the second season, but that's to be expected. For the most part, I really like him as a character, and hope to see more of him in the upcoming season and beyond. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjsforever 89 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 He appeared too suddenly. "BAM! Twilight has an older brother!" I didn't really like that. I think he at least should have been introduced a little earlier, even if he was only there for the Canterlot Wedding. He was like your perfect cookie-cutter big brother/prince, so I admit I thought he was a bit bland. I do like his voice and his design though. Maybe if he appears later he'll grow on me.

The Awesome One 1,315 August 13, 2012 Share August 13, 2012 To be honest, he was too much like all those princes you see in the Disney movies. I would have liked it if he looked a bit more..badass or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
