Twi Rubix 726 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 In S1 Ep.21, "Over A Barrel" What did Rainbow mean when she called Fluttershy a tree? Was it that she wouldn't be moving on her own or something? And after that, Fluttershy said she would like to be a tree, but..... why? I'm assuming the only reason is that she would be one with nature, but I'd prefer to be something that can move and talk. That was a pretty random scene as well...

Dreadmallon 353 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Just for the laughs, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ MUFF1N D3RP 322 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It was a sarcastic remark. She had asked Pinkie if they were going to have to carry Applejack's tree(named Bloomberg apparently) all the way to the orchard, and Pinkie had a dense moment asked if Dashie meant Bloomberg and Dashie just felt like being sarcastic apparently and as we all know, sarcasm tends to be lost on Pinkie. Fluttershy, in her adorable way, just went along with it and said in a joking manner that she would like to be a tree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleyd 18 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Fluttershy, in her adorable way, just went along with it and said in a joking manner that she would like to be a tree. Hmm, never thought of it that way. The way she said it always sounded sincere to me, plus she isn't really one to be sarcastic or play along with things like that. Either way, she's rather in tune with nature like that - I could imagine her loving a nest of baby birds in her branches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strafe 593 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 There's a lot of Fluttershys in my front yard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadefire 2,796 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think Fluttershy WAS being sincere. I assumed she woke up and heard the others talking about whether or not she's a tree, and chimed in with her own two bits. Personally, I'd like to be a cat, myself. x3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
Legendary Emerald 622 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 "I'd like to be a tree" is my single favorite line in the entire series. I laugh every time I imagine that scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mare in the Moon 173 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh that part made me laugh. I heard the line a few times before seeing the episode, but the context really helps the joke a lot. I know its meant to be funny/cute/whatever, but I can honestly imagine Fluttershy legitimately wanting to be a tree o-o Its just believable. On another note, I download a lot of fan-made music, and there was one with that line "I'd like to be a tree" as one of the main parts of the song, and I played it while my friend and I were at the Gym and he was like "WTF is this?" and I told him, He complimented the song's editing when I told him it was made up of just random lines from the show. I got into showing him more and more of the random music I had downloaded and I finally got him interested in the show, and now he wants to watch it with me one of these nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
