Do you hate Trixie?

[Wolf-Boy 54]

I'm asking this because most of my friends hate Trixie.  Personally, I know what it's like to be shunned, so I kinda actually like her.  I want to know your views on her.

[Firelord Derpy 310]

I don't mind her. She's very flawed but at least she seems to be headed in the right direction now. She has made some bad choices obviously and has not been the nicest pony but I don't hate her.  

[Wolf-Boy 54]

It's good to finally meet someone who actually doesn't hate her.  Sometimes I feel as if I'm the only one who doesn't hate her.  It gets quite lonely.

[Concord 1,982]

To be honest, ironicaly, after the Magic duel episode, i really started to like her, i mean, i understand her completely, because i would probably seek for revenge if something happened to me aswell (Hating to admit it)

The last scene actualy made me a little sad that that's the last we will be seeing of her...

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

"Hate" is a very strong word to be quite honest.  I don't neccessarily love Trixie. But, as the poster above me said after the Magic Duel I actually started to like her.She isn't one of my favorites. But, I seriously don't hate Trixie. Now, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon? If I could use the word HATE to the fullest extent it would be these two. I seriously HATE those two.

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

I don't hate Trixie. Actually i have a very neutral feeling towards her because of what she did in "Magic Duel" i mean sure she was corrupted and didn't know she was doing beyond beating Twilight but she must have known the consequences of The Alicorn Amulet.

[Wolf-Boy 54]

I have to agree with you there.  I absolutely DESPISE them.  All they remind me of are the people at my school.  HATE doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about them.

[PonyEcho 1,610]

i like her as a villain, she was doing so well until that shift in her character development ruined it.

the amulet corrupted her? how does that explain her behavior with out it on, note when she took it of there was 0 change and she still tried to kill RD

[Koori 156]

I wouldn't say I hate her, but she isn't exactly a character I like either. In Boast Busters she struck me as a cheater, way overconfident, a bully and (obviously) a liar. Everything a stage magician shouldn't be and at least half of what I myself find... annoying.

 

In Magic Duel I thought she had gone crazy up until I heard what exactly does the amulet do. I'm pretty happy how the episode ended and how Trixie was developed character-wise.

[Nothing&NoOne 695]

Magic Duel was a good episode, don't get me wrong, but I still strongly dislike Trixie.

I cannot stand her "I'm better than you and I'll prove it even if I have to cheat" attitude towards everything.

 

Yes, the Amulet corrupted her, but she's the one who sought it out and bought it in the first place.

[Mirad 217]

Well, since I have plenty of answers, here goes a list:

Trixie is cool.

Trixie is badass.

Trixie doesn't give a fuck.

Trixie got shunned.

Trixie has a cool necklace.

 

I wanna go on, but those are my reasons.

[roptiriolg 49]

I think she's fine, not fan of her but definitely not hate her! She brings diversity to the episodes and expect more of her. So yup.

[duidamasterXD 9,627]

Well I found her pretty unlikable after her first episode but after Magic Duel I'm neutral towards her. She seems committed to being a better person from now on and she apologized for her behavior so I've forgiven her. She still hasn't done anything that makes her appealing to me though so ultimately no, I don't hate or even dislike Trixie. I just don't particularly like her either.

[Lost Profile 644]

I don't hate trixy... Never have...

 

I just thought she was a joke in her first episode

 

Now in her second episode she became 20% more badass!

Then lost the 20% when she apologized... But she learned her lesson... And that's awesome!

[Mu Nova 66]

I've always really liked Trixie. I found her a fun villain but at the same time hoped for her to not be an irredeemable character--she didn't seem to be one for a few moments in Boast Busters, anyway.

 

And I was pretty happy with this. She apologized, yet in a way that turned out to be in character. And now that I know Hasbro didn't suddenly turn her evil, I find that evil laugh to be hilarious.

 

Anyway. Trixie fan.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

Trixie is probably my 4th favorite right now. I mean she was an almost perfect villian, and is a pretty cool character as well.

[Sks_Burns 730]

At the very beginning, and i mean the very first time i saw Boast Busters, i disliked her. shes was cocky, annoying, and all flash with no spark. after i watched the episode a few times, she started to grow on me more.  Magic Duel secured my love for her character, and now shes one of my favorites. 

 

her character is fun to watch, just because shes so over the top. 

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

Why is there a thread like this every week?  Trixie seems to be the only pony that Bronies are allowed to hate (well, "Fluttershy is mai waifu!" people are allowed to hate Gilda), but why?  I'll never really understand it.

 

Oh, and as to whether I hate Trixie or not: My avatar, username, signature, computer wallpaper, iPhone wallpaper, pony art collection, etc should be an answer...

 

Basically the most ideal pony possible, in my opinion, would be Rainbow Dash as a unicorn who cares about intellectual matters instead of athletics...and that's pretty close to what Trixie is.  

[Spatsi 151]

Not really. To be honest, I've been her fan since her first episode, and now, after Magic Duel, I like her even more. Sure, she brags a lot( actually, Dashie does exactly the same) but nopony's perfect, right?

[Tall_But_Short_37 233]

If I had to guess, I'd say that Trixie heard somewhere that the amulet could give her amazing powers, but not that it would make you evil. She just was desperate to stop being laughed at everywhere. Trixie was just bitter, not evil.

 

I won't go as far as to say she was completely possessed or anything when she did all those evil things to Ponyville, I just think the amulet amplified her boasting and want for revenge and then gave her magic powers to back it up. That said, she would not have wished to or have been able to do these if not for the amulet. Seeing as she likely wasn't aware of its full effects, I don't blame her completely. Once she realized what had happened, she apologized in a very Trixie-esque and should be forgiven.

 

So no, I don't hate her. I think she's a very misunderstood pony who is used to being in the center of attention and is frustrated that now she can never seem to win.

[Candy Apples 18]

I absolutely love Trixie! Almost everypony I know hates her, except for one of my friends, but he only started liking her after the Magic Duel episode. I loved her way before that.   

[GrandMasterMiku 6]

I've been pretty much a Trixie fan since Boast Busters and Magic Dual, even though I said I don't like the fanservice overloaded episodes, was awesome so I'll make an exception.

[Sks_Burns 730]

see? they dont all hate you. infact, most of them love you. everything will be ok, so go find your cape and learn some new tricks. *pony hug*

 

 

 

[Sunny Fox 5,950]

I guess I would qualify as a vociferous anti-Trixie member, based on my previous posts about her, but I don't hate her. I don't find it within myself to actively hate any fictional character. That said, she does have a very low approval rating for me. This latest episode featuring her hasn't changed it very much. I can accept her boasting, I can accept her showmanship, but she lies, goes against her word (as she did in the challenge, by not showing that she could do something better than the others did, as she said she could, but instead using magic to attack them in different ways) and she treats her "enthusiastic little admirers" badly even in private. And she still has never apologized for telling tall tales about beating an Ursa Major when she couldn't do more than bother an Ursa Minor. So no, I don't hate her, but I hold her in a regard that could be translated as "hate" in a mindset capable of hating fictional characters.

[SagasaPony 122]

Who could possibly hate the Great and Powerful Trixie?

 

She's as hammy as they come and trills her "R's" like a pro.

 

Seriously speaking, Trixie has always been the character I identified the most with. She's smart, spunky, confident verging on cocky, and a showman to the core. Yet, I'm always left thinking that she developed that persona as a defense to events that she's gone through. What could those events have been? We're not given even a single clue about them, so there's this huge gap in her past that we're free to fill up with our imaginations.

 

Maybe I'm just reading too deeply into her, but still, she certainly makes for a character that sticks in my mind.
