Hasbro trolling earth ponies?

[Flying wub 48]

I think Hasbro is kind of trolling earth ponies i think (may seem rude) earth ponies is worse then the other rases and is not better at anything (exept something somtimes like farming)

Like pegasi has wings and unicorns have horns so why can't maybe the earth ponies be much stronger then the other races (of course applejack is strong but i do not think pinkie is stronger then let's say rainbow dash.)

So to sum this all up i would request Hasbro (atleast wish and hope to celestia)

that Hasbro makes earthponies more "usefull".

 

Thanks for your time.

I don't see how Earth Ponies aren't "useful."

 

They do the farming and the ground work, like Pegasi do the weather work and unicorns often use their magic to do work. They're just as important as Pegasus ponies.

 

But Unicorn is master race by extension of Rarity master race

 

[Flying wub 48]

That i ment was how it come that unicorns can use magic and pegasi can fly and the earth ponies can... farm?

that was what i meant when i said i wanted them to be stronger or something becouse it just seems unfair.

Maybe i just think so but that was what i meant!

 

To make this clear i am not hating on earthponies.

btw not all pegasi helps with the weather and not all earthponies farms (as you probably know)

Earth Ponies seem to also have great business sense and also seem to be the strongest physically out of all the pony races by nature. Applejack is really strong and Big Mac can pull entire houses with ease.

[Castle Bleck 19,383]

In Legends Of Equestria, I believe Earth Ponies can run the fastest and have the most HP/defense.

I'd complain about the lack of Earth pony OCs. I'm the only person I know that has one.

They are the least appreciated pony race though by far. Earth ponies need more love!

[Adorkable 2,737]

Personally, while it may not seem so, I feel that Earth Ponies share the same importance and do just as big of role that the other typed of ponies do.

 

Earth Ponies grow the food. Without food, you'd have a bunch of hungry ponies! ^^"

[Kay Dreamer 884]

Earth Ponies possess the most physical strength of all the races, in addition to having the most endurance. They are essential to breathing life into the land - there is a latent magic in every Earth Pony which radiates from their hooves as they walk, replenishing the soil and energising it to spawn new life. This is why Earth Ponies make such good farmers. It was stated in Hearth's Warming Eve that only Earth Ponies can grow food. It may be that by lacking this kind of magic, it is impossible for Pegasi and Unicorns to farm.

 

All of the above is taken from official sources.

 

To add a little headcanon, I see Earth Ponies as being naturally innovative due to constantly needing to work around the limitation of not having wings or magic. Most Equestrian inventions probably stem from Earth Ponies, or Earth Pony ideas. They'd be good at building, naturally skilled at hoofwork, and the driving force behind technological advancement in Equestria.

 

They seem pretty darn useful to me.

Remember Maud Pie. Being able to plow through a boulder in a few seconds is no less impressive than anything RD or Twi has done.

[Castle Bleck 19,383]

@Regulus,

 

How could I have forgotten to mention my waifu?!

Time to bust a myth, Earth Ponies are not stronger than other ponies, at least not to the point where a well trained Pegasi can't beat them

 

RD and AJ are shown to be physically equals, despite her status as a pegasi. 

 

So no, Earth Ponies aren't these physical beasts

 

Before you bring up Big Mac or Maud

 

Big Mac's feats are gags like Pinkie Pie's. He's had trouble with cakes and saddlebags before

 

Maud is not typical. Everyone, including the Earth Ponies, emptied their bowels when she did that. 

 

OT: Earth Ponies are the support race. They can farm pretty well and seem to have more dexterity than other Ponies. Not that cool in a fight though, in a fight between a trained Earth Pony and a trained unicorn/pegasi, the unicorn can just levitate the earth pony and use him as a pinball, the pegasi can just blitz them to death

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

@, yet official sources have made it out like Earth Ponies are naturally the strongest. You're using cases to prove that Earth Ponies aren't the strongest, and that doesn't work. Just because I know some women that worked out and are stronger than some males doesn't mean that males aren't naturally stronger overall. It could be a biology thing. Just because Earth Ponies are naturally stronger doesn't mean they're that much stronger than the other races, but it also doesn't mean they're all exactly the same strength.

 

For example, we've never seen Unicorns perform any strength feats that didn't involve a use of magical aids, like Twilight lifting that water tower to defeat the Ursa Minor.

I meant in a brawl with magic and wings included

 

And what are these official sources? Mind you, AJ and RD are both shown to be very competitive with each other, logically they should be striving to surpass the other and training accordingly. Yet, they're equal

It's been shown lots of times that Earth Ponies are naturally stronger. But here's one I can recall off the top of my head:

 

Princess Celestia: Tirek has stolen enough magic that he now has the strength to steal flight as well. Without Pegasi to control the weather, there will be no rain in Equestria. There is word he has gone after Earth ponies as well. Without their strength, they will not be able to tend the land.

 

One could argue she was speaking of something else, but she chose the word strength to describe the Earth Ponies' ability to tend to the land. I see that as directly referencing the fact that they are naturally stronger. I'll go grab a different source later but not right now because I'm being lazy. But that's my first source right now.

 

And in a brawl with magic and wings included, what does that have to do with Earth Ponies being stronger? If you're talking about fight strength or something, that is something entirely different than being really strong. In real life, I've seen people get taken down by people who weren't as physically strong as they were.

Thanks for your time.

They confirmed in the season 4 finale that earth ponies are, on average, stronger physically than the other two types.

[Hovershy 3,815]

Yeah, season 4 finale proved they are stronger than the other races, Tirek stole their strength from them.

 

I think earth ponies need more love though. 

[theshinycelebi 93]

Notice how they have powers at growing food? Yeah. Without them they'd all be dead. Not useless in the least bit. 'Nuff said.

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

I think the main problem is that the other races have done extremely flashy things with their powers while Earth Ponies haven't done anything amazing other than grow food and be strong. People are valuing what they see that amazes them over utility in this case. The Earth Ponies literally feed every other pony in Equestria, that is amazing when you think about it. Without them, they would have to hunt and gather or even rely on another race to survive.

 

Just because Earth Ponies aren't pulling off sonic buckbooms and jumping fifty feet in the air or something doesn't make them any less amazing.

Hmm, interesting. It can be taken that way, or it can be taken my way

 

My way being that without their strength, which is what Tirek took from them since it's their only power, evne though they remember how to farm, they won't be able to

 

It can be seen that way or other ways

 

@,

Congrats on that source. However, as we see from feats through out the show, it's not like Earth Ponies are spectacularly strong or anything. They MAY have a slight advantage, but it's not enough to keep them from being an under dog 

[Nulln 755]

Celestia said that unicorns have magic, pegasi have flight and control the weather, and earth ponies have strength.  She wouldn't have said anything about their strength if it weren't super strength.

Also in the winter play episode, earth ponies were the only ones who could grow the food, so everyone would probably die without them.

 

 

I'd complain about the lack of Earth pony OCs. I'm the only person I know that has one.

They are the least appreciated pony race though by far. Earth ponies need more love!

My oc is earth pony.  lol

Yeah, that's the main problem. That's why I cited their ability in a fight, people who want a badass OC don't want their OC getting curbstomped by a unicorn dropping a brick on their head or a pegasi blitzing them to death

 

Earth Ponies are support groups, which no one appreciates due to the fact that they aren't a physical threat

[Rainblow H. Ash 5,091]

@, thanks. And yeah, I have never argued that every Earth Pony could beat every Pegasus Pony or Unicorn in a hoof wrestle or anything, but strength does seem to be their main suit.

 

Another thing that it might mean is that Earth Ponies are simply more durable and have more endurance, meaning they can last longer without getting tired if they're working in the fields or in a fight. That one might not be true for every Earth Pony, but ya never know, strength can mean a lot of things physically about a being.

That is a fair point. Strength wouldn't mean too much when farming, save for plowing, but endurance? Real horses aren't that good in that department so if the Earth Ponies have endurance, that makes a lot of sense

 

I can accept Earth Ponies being slightly stronger on average, but if you train two ponies to the max, a pegasi can still match and Earth Pony physically, IMO

I agree completely, and it's not just because Pegasi are my favorite pony race.

 

I do, however, think that Unicorns are disadvantaged when it comes to strength, because we've never really seen a Unicorn do anything amazing when it comes to physically lifting something. So at least we can say Earth Ponies and Pegasi definitely seem to have a hoof up on in them in the physical department, so that gives each of them at least something they can hold over the overpowered magically-attuned Unicorns.

Maybe so, but don't shit on the unicorns that much either. Rarity and Twilight did a fine job holding Tom, Rarity kicked and staggered the Manticore, beat the crap out of Changelings with her bare hooves, and in general would have to be physically strong from digging up gems before Spike came along

 

Here's how I rate the Mane 6 raw power wise

 

Enraged Fluttershy>AJ=RD>Rarity>Pinkie Pie>Twilight>Fluttershy

 

Unicorns are OP, plz nerf
