Mephala 2,635 April 7, 2012 #26 Share April 7, 2012 (edited) Overrated: Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Maybe a few backgrounds. Underrated: Granny Smith (I REALLY want more Granny Smith), Rarity (she's only had a few Rarity based epis) and AJ (who's had lots of epis but is totally unloved D:). I'd also like more Fancy Pants, Hoity Toity, Cheerilee, and Photo Finish. But def Rarity. She doesn't get enough lovin' and she's one of the most developed and complex characters. AJ just needs more love XD Edited April 7, 2012 by PinkieDaShy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 April 7, 2012 #27 Share April 7, 2012 Well of course Overrated would HAVE to be TRIXIE! loljk In all seriousness I like Trixie and I find some people's zealous obsession with her awesome! You go Trixie fans! Twilight might have showed Trixie up with the Ursa Minor, but she'll never have Trixie's showmanship! So overrated? Pinkie Pie! Strange I love Pinkie Pie, but lately in season 2 she seems to be less funny and more annoying. But still Pinkie gets all my love anyway. Plus she does have the best Pony song! Underrated? Tootsie Flute Applejack. Strange how being one of the Mane 6 but still gets less fandom attention than some BG Ponies like Vinyl Scratch and Derpy.Even if admittedly she is my least favorite of the Mane 6, she still deserves more love. I'd also add Sweetie Belle needs more love, but I may be getting a bit biased. [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlutterDerpy582 89 April 7, 2012 #28 Share April 7, 2012 Visually; Vinyl is one of my favorites, however she is outrageously overrated. She is in the frame for MAYBE 5 seconds the entire show, and everypony is going about her as if she is a legitiment background character. Fan art, I see nothing wrong with because she is visually appealing. Never the less, I would love to see more of her! xP Next up, my underrated, Discord. Ahhh Discord, I could talk about just how underrated this character is for hours, but ill keep it short and sweet. First of all, seeing another Discord episode would make my alter ego pony life complete! The 2 part episode was nothing short of fantastic filled with plot twists, and just plain greatness. The overall plot, riddles, tricks etc. make the episode give off a feeling I have yet to comprehend. I would not expect an episode like this from a show like My Little Pony! x3 In conclusion, Underrated: Discord Overrated: Vinyl Scratch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra1nbowCrasH 272 April 7, 2012 #30 Share April 7, 2012 I agree that some of the characters are very overrated, especially background ponies like Trixie and Vinyl Scratch; however, part of it is like what Doctor XFizzle said: although they didn't appear much in the show, the fandom has turned them into something great. I think that both Applejack and Twilight Sparkle are under-appreciated characters. Nobody ever says that Twilight or Applejack are their favs. I also have to wonder what exactly fanfiction writers have against Rainbow Dash; "Cupcakes," "Rainbow Factory," "Rocket to Insanity," etc. https://www.fimfiction.net/bookshelf/709463/read-stories That's 5% of the last 4.5 years.

Emerald Flame 381 April 7, 2012 #31 Share April 7, 2012 Underrated - Applejack Overrated - Lyra Someday, maybe Applejack will get an awesome episode that isn't stolen by another character. Poor girl needs it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony Joe 583 April 7, 2012 #32 Share April 7, 2012 Overrated: Rainbow Dash. I dunno, I just really can't connect with her personality. Underrated: I'm tempted to say Pinkie Pie, but overall I don't think that there are any underrated ponies. That's really all there is to say on the matter.

Mare in the Moon 173 April 7, 2012 #33 Share April 7, 2012 Underrated: Celestia. Celestia gets very little positive attention from the fanbase (at least from what I see all the time) Overrated: Derpy. I never really got into the whole Derpy hype.

roomforapony 285 April 7, 2012 #34 Share April 7, 2012 Underrated: Rarity, Applejack, and Granny Smith. Overrated: Fluttershy. Doesn't mean I don't like her though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twi Rubix 726 April 7, 2012 #35 Share April 7, 2012 Overrated: Fluttershy. I like her, but gets alot of attention mostly due to being shy. Celestia. The whole Trollestia thing is plastered everywhere, and is mostly what makes her popular. Trixie. I just dont know why she is popular. Underrated: Applejack. I don't hear alot of reception from her for being one of the Mane 6. Spike. Spike is a really good character, but like AJ, not alot of attention for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that makes her overrated, as shyness is something people can relate to. If anything, Fluttershy is only overrated by the fans who like her just because she's cute.

Twiliscael 3,961 April 8, 2012 #37 Share April 8, 2012 Over-rated- Fluttershy. How many times can they make her cry before her crazy fans realize that the developers are over-exaggerating her faults. but i still luv her Under-rated- Rarity. Rarity can be HILARIOUS in the right moments, such as with the Diamond Dogs.

spas-ticShotty 3,587 April 8, 2012 #38 Share April 8, 2012 Under-rated - Applejack. I mean, I don't even know why, she's such a cutie. Is it because she's Southern ? I dunno.... Over-rated - Fluttershy. And this upsets me even more. I can see why people like her so much, and I respect that, but come on! She's afraid of almost everything and is a wimp at a lot of stuff. The only time I really like her is when she is yelling , one way or another, and YOU know how rare that is http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png. I also don't like the fact that she reminds me the most of a G3 pony. I guess that's why I dislike her -_- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prettycool 65 April 8, 2012 #41 Share April 8, 2012 (edited) Overrated: Trixie: Why is she liked so much? She is a boaster, a jerk and a liar! Fluttershy: I don't see the appeal. Ohhhh suuuure shes cute but I really don't see the appeal. Mediumrated: Pinkie Pie: She has a rather large fanbase but she isn't overrated. Rainbow Dash: As a Rainbow Dash fan I will say that there is a nicely large fanbase like Pinkie but I wouldn't call her overrated. Celestia: Again, She has a nicely large fanbase but she isn't overrated. Underrated: Applejack: She needs more love!!!!!! Twilight Sparkle: She needs more love!!! Rarity: She IS underrated but I still hate how she joined the flying contest when it was RAINBOW DASH who wanted to join and win and impress the wonderbolts! What a dick move! Spike: I seriously don't see why this dragon has such a small fanbase! Edited April 8, 2012 by SuperX46 2 Huzzah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spas-ticShotty 3,587 April 8, 2012 #42 Share April 8, 2012 This is a recurring thing I just noticed. Overrated is almost always Fluttershy, underrated almost always has Applejack in it.

Why-Gnome-Ear-Fifty 400 April 8, 2012 #44 Share April 8, 2012 I might get a ton of crap for this, but I totally agree with anyone else who thinks Trixie is overrated. She's kind of.....the villain.....and only appeared in one episode, where it was revealed that she's actually just a dud. WHY does a dud have such a large fanbase? Luna and Twilight could do much better than her, and Twilight (although I'm certainly not a Twilight fan) should have a larger fanbase than Trixie. Luna is probably slightly overrated, but she's not as big of a deal as people make Trixie out to be... Then again, I'm a staunch Fluttershy fan, and I admit she's unbelievably overrated, so go ahead and take my words with a grain of salt.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkinbot 69 April 8, 2012 #45 Share April 8, 2012 Overrated: Trixie. *ducks from inevitable tomato throwing* While she does need more air time (as do all one-time characters, like Flim, Flam, and Discord), I'm not sure she deserves to be a central character. Maybe more like a personal nemesis to Twilight as Flim and Flam were to AJ. Underrated: Zecora. We need more Zecora as Consuela needs more lemon Pledge.

Starbrose 20 April 8, 2012 #46 Share April 8, 2012 From the mane 6: Overrated - Fluttershy Underrated - AppleJack Just from who gets the most attention and who gets the least. I think the terms overrated/underrated aren't the best to use. There's a reason Fluttershy is the most popular with the fanbase and also why AppleJack is least popular IMO. Doesn't mean they are deserving of anything different. Although ideally they'd all have strong fan followings I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Diamond 7,576 April 8, 2012 #48 Share April 8, 2012 Overrated: Trixie. I don't quite understand why she has been so popularized aside from her obnoxious attitude. Underrated: Rarity. I get the impression there are fans who see her as little more than an obnoxious snob. She has terrific one-liners ("Et tu, Gabby Gums?") and some of the best pony-centric episodes in the series ("A Dog and Pony Show", "Sisterhooves Social"). 1 Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te.

Akemi Homura 7,681 April 8, 2012 #49 Share April 8, 2012 Underrated: Rarity. It always seems that her good deeds are overshadowed by that of the other ponies'. For example: her construction of the gala dresses. Those were absolutely beautiful and yet this feat isn't recognized too much for anyone's liking. Also, she has wonderful lines that are often times very humorous... not to mention the fact that Tabitha St. Germain manages to convey these lines into Rarity's character masterfully! Overrated: DJ Pon3, albeit only slightly. I understand that while she's only been shown for about 3 seconds throughout the entire show, (and because of this, she apparently needs more love), it's now getting to the point where all this attention upon her greatly affects the perception and popularity of the other ponies. The same goes for Octavia even though she is my favorite "other pony". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homura Akemi 974 May 1, 2012 #50 Share May 1, 2012 Overrated: Fluttershy, Luna, Trixie Underrated: Applejack, Celestia, Spike, Apple Bloom (Kind of) I'm not really a fan of Trixie or Luna, but I'm not calling them bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
