Ace O. Jade 122 May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 I'm actually surprised that I have seen no mention of Flash Sentry's recent appearance in the Season 4 finale. I remember how huge of a deal it was when he appeared outside of EQG in Three's a Crowd, and there he only was shown briefly. He got a noticeable speaking role in the finale, and nopony has made a peep about it as far as I've seen. I, for one, am pleased with this appearance. Since EQG I've supported Twilight x Flash Sentry as her number one best pairing, and I'm glad to see Hasbro is becoming more bold with his role. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discordian 6,015 May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 I've never honestly cared about Flash Sentry's existence. Twilight has always been the type who's too wrapped up in her friends and her work for romance to really be a part of her life and I see no reason why that should change. Shoving a romantic interest into her life just wouldn't work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZukoIsBestPony 561 May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Flash Sentry? What Flash Sentry? I've never heard that name before. Is it a fan given name? *In my thoughts: If I don't acknowledge him, it will go away.

pony.colin 156 May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 Hasn't it already been said that EG isn't really canon anyways? If there was really anything there between Twilight and Flash - then there would have been some real acknowledgement between the two, outside of the film and inside the main show. As of right now - he's really just a minor character. Okay, I'll admit, I was kind of expecting Flash's appearance to have been mentioned already.

Avatar tag: shipping 299 May 12, 2014 Share May 12, 2014 My guess is that everyone didn't want an awesome finale like that get derailed by a cardboard cutout. I hated Three's A Crowd and having Flash Sentry in it serves no purpose but to stir shit up. Sig by the one and only Doc Volt! Gone but not forgotten! Guess who's back!!!

Dawn Wing 113 May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 Flash "Brad" Sentry? Nopony cares about him. He's just another royal guard, well he's orange, but that makes no difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I remember correctly, Flash Sentry acknowledged Twilight with quote unquote "body language" in Three's a Crowd. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/08/discussion-what-does-canon-mean-to-you.html Okay I'm checking EQD for this and apparently McCarthy said this about EQG "EQG did happen, but it doesn't impact MLP:FIM storylines" - what a really dodgy answer. I'm not surprised though, it's basically trying to say something that will appease both parties because it can be interpreted in a slightly vague way - those who don't acknowledge Flash and those who do. So if it happened yet has no real impact on MLP:Fim than what the heck was the point of EQG, besides my obvious answer again and again. Oh this bit: That subtle "smile"? What's the possibility that it wasn't simply an acknowledgement to Cadance's order of "understood, I don't need a royal guard to escort me around ponyville". Either way, the ship can sail. Nothing stops from ships from sailing, unless a whole section of the fandom decides to abandon it. then it will be dead.

So the fact that I too saw little reaction to Flash, is nothing short of 'Let's stop the presses, get wasted and throw a New Years' Party in May'.

McCarthy has released tweet, after writers panel, after interview saying that EqG will not directly effect or influence FiM. That, and it's like Twilicorn, it has been around for long enough, and it isn't going away so people just got used to his 2.5 second cameos. http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/vera-yeoman-r5921Muh pleb tier OC .http://mlpforums.com/blog/1663/entry-12477-pony-waifu-wedding-13-maiq-x-fleetfoot/ MLP forum's #1 Fleetfoot fan also married to fleetfoot <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose so It helps that, his cameos are overshadowed by fifteen thousand other things in the episode they pop in. Three's a Crowd has Discord and he stole the entire show as always, and the entire climax of Twilight's Kingdom stole the attention this time around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
