Does some canon defilement stories annoy you?

[Bendy 1,821]

Does some canon defilement stories annoy you? As in your favorite characters do horrible and downright evil things with no logical explanation at all. They do things the real canon versions (from the show itself) of themselves would never do.

 

Examples of canon defilement; Cupcakes Pinkie Pie.  

 

Another example, Princess Celestia for seemingly no reason at all behaves like Harbinger from Mass Effect. *Glares angrily at Conversion Bureau fan fictions.*

 

Now, I don't mind a good character of Lawful Good Alignment turning evil. But I want some explanation, like she was corrupted or something, not just being evil for no reason.

 

I think canon Celestia is Lawful Good Alignment , she's not Chaotic Evil Alignment, as she is portrayed in many fan fictions.

To be honest, "Cupcakes" is not that bad out of character. Pinkie isn't portrayed as "evil," just deranged. In the show, she's already a little bit (or a lot) nuts. "Cupcakes" struck me as more of an explanation as to why she's so crazy.

 

I also see Celestia as being a chaotic character, as much as she tries to hide behind a mask of pure goodness and Harmony. Of course, I also dislike Celestia and have, therefore, never read any of these fanfictions, so I can't be sure if the way they portray her is accurate or not.

 

It does really bug me, though, when a character does something way off for no good reason. For example, I once read a story in which Rainbow Dash was cussing and being hateful toward a rival of hers, and then she tried to play a dangerous "prank" on him that ended with him being seriously injured. I know Dash is a jerk sometimes (I'm not too fond of her either), but that was just too over the top and not how she'd act at all.

 

I've also read stories about Zecora in which she didn't rhyme, and I don't like those just because... that's lazy.

The ones with Fluttershy being a psycho killer are the stupidest, though, because that is completely the opposite of all she stands for and believes in.

The story "Dash's New Mom" really bugged me with Twilight not piecing together that she was dating Rainbow's father and not even questioning all the similarities he has to her friend and treats Dash like the bad guy for being mad at her for not mentioning this after she found out.

 

This also bugs me because of how analytic Twilight is all of the time and it seems highly unlikely that she wouldn't find it odd that the stallion she was dating looked strikingly similar to one of her best friends-which makes her both a jerk and an idiot in the story.

Like two thirds of humanized Rainbow Dash involve her being really girly, and I know you can basically do whatever you want (because the character isn't human), but it's still out of character for her to wear a miniskirt and makeup.

First: You REALLY don't like TCB do you? At least it isn't Chatoyance's work *shivers*

Second: Celestia is NOT Lawful Good alignment. Lawful Good is about doing what is right NOW as opposed to doing something to 'teach someone a lesson'. Celestia is Chaotic Good, maybe Neutral Good at best, but she is not Lawful Good.

Third: Yes, it does annoy me, but it doesn't annoy me as badly as blatant misanthropy does.
