Cupcake Ice Cream 436 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Possibly unpopular opinion but oh well I realize alot of brony's like Applejack and that is fabulous but what is with the sudden big rush of the Apple Family? Family Appreciation Day, Last Roundup, Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000, and soon Hearts and Hooves Day I mean I like AJ and her family as much as the next pony but I could use an Apple Family break Don't take this as an "I hate AJ" thread....just a bit overwhelmed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor XFizzle 8,669 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I'd say it's poor episode placement. I don't know how episodes are produced and made, but we had 2 Rainbow episodes in a row, 1.5 Rarity episodes (I give .5 for Secret to My Excess), and now 2 Applejack/Apple Family episodes in a row.

Prince Lightning Da Cute 619 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 AppleJack hasn't been in the spotlight much like Pinkie and Dash, sometimes bronies realize they been wrong with their love and love the unloved characters to stand out and show some of the compassion we're famous for.

Apple Bloom 2,933 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I'm getting tired of the Apple family too. (ironic huh?) I'm ready to see a Fluttershy or Scootaloo episode. 2 Signature by @Nico.

Yellow Diamond 7,569 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I've been wondering what happened to Fluttershy, since she has kind of faded off into the periphery. Arguably you can consider May the Best Pet Win! to be a Fluttershy episode, except most of the focus is on Rainbow Dash. There hasn't been an exclusively Fluttershy-centric episode since the first season. Fluttershy aside, yes, the Apple family has been receiving an inordinate amount of focus. The episodes should have been spread across the season rather than bunched together. Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Cassie 3,057 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I'm beginning to feel that as well, especially because the focus on the Apple family is actually taking away from the focus on Applejack herself. Her family has been overshadowing her. Of course we also need to hear more about Fluttershy too. She's practically vanished for all intents and purposes and it's really unfortunate.

Apple Bloom 2,933 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I want to see a Scootaloo episode. We basically know nothing about her. Does she have a family? Is she adopted? Where does she live? I want to know these things! Signature by @Nico. Come join us for movies and more! Every Friday on Equestria.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 maybe to make up for the lack of Applejacks during season 1? 1 LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice. Fees and penalties still apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twi Rubix 726 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 (edited) I dont really want to see Apple Family episodes. Just a Applejack episode... not since S1 really. Edited February 2, 2012 by TwilightRubix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance64 7,053 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Yeah, I used to think the same thing, but I'm actually kind of starting to like the Apple family more because of these episodes, they're really enjoyable characters imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy 6,169 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I definitely agree. Not anything against Applejack or the family, but I really feel like the focus this season has been on the family way too much. I do think that more Applejack centric episodes should come about. The one a couple of weeks ago was fantastic, however few episodes have actually been about her. Her sister has gotten more attention than her, and I don't really like that. We need more episodes focused on the mane six. They are the main characters, and honestly, it feels like the Apple family has gotten a lot more attention than Twilight Sparkle, which is odd. Everything needs more woodwind!

GrooveBroove 680 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Scootalo by far is getting the least respect. I hope when she gets her episode i's one hell of a doozy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom The Diamond 1,830 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Meh, its whoever scheduled the episodes. Seriously, whoever did it liked grouping the character's episodes together. I'm sure if the episodes aired in a different order, you wouldn't notice all the Apple episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezynell 2,037 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 Applejack is too bucking underrated. Not that nopony loves her, it's just that when, compared to the others... GAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Diamond 7,569 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 (edited) Applejack is too bucking underrated. Not that nopony loves her, it's just that when, compared to the others... I would be inclined to disagree. She seems to be very well received and well liked. Rainbow Dash tends to make more of an impact, so to speak, given her demeanor and attitude; the same can be said of Pinkie Pie. But it's not as if Applejack is neglected; she works better when teamed with another pony for an episode rather than a.) having the attention focus solely on her for an extended period or b.) being an ancillary character to Apple Bloom. Not that there is inherently anything wrong with Apple Bloom. Edited February 2, 2012 by Thereisnospoon303 Domine, tu omnia nosti, tu scis quia amo te.

Coco Pommel 669 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 (edited) This season's lack of Fluttershy is disappointing, and I know fellow bronies agree with me. The Apple family has had enough spotlight for the second season. There've been three or so episodes (my counting may be wrong) in a row now concentrating on members of the Apple family. Also, Scootaloo is legit. Edited February 2, 2012 by Saga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Diamond 7,569 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 yea... That's an interesting poll, though I wouldn't take it entirely at face value. More importantly, Applejack receiving more appearances doesn't negate or reverse the trend of her being "underrated." Forcing her to be popular, which I doubt is the intention of the writers, is not the way to go. My guess is that they want to provide more foundation for Ponyville as well as one of the more established on screen families. But they have done quite a bit of that already.

Kyreth 194 February 2, 2012 Share February 2, 2012 I'll have to agree with you there. I love the apple family as much as anyone but they need to keep rotating the focus of the episodes or they will get boring. It would be the same with any other character, or group of characters. I can't make signatures. Sooo... yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
