Rarity is the deepest and best developed character in mlp. |
| Zombie_Trotsky #1495328 5 days ago |
You could argue all of them could be deepest / best developed pony, except AJ. She REALLY needs more character development. |
| Anonymous #1495335 5 days ago |
^Are you kidding? Fluttershy's entire personality can almost be summed up by her name, not that she's a bad character or that I dislike her but there's not a whole lot of depth to her. Rarity is definitely one of the most multifaceted characters in the entire series. |
| CottonTales #1495336 5 days ago |
@Zombie
I think Fluttershy needs development too and Dash |
| Impious #1495341 5 days ago |
Fluttershy and Applejack both need character development, fo srs. Like, holy fuck. Applejack never does anything, and every fucking episode involving Fluttershy involves her "gaining her confidence". Rainbow Dash just needs BETTER characterization, more moments like the ones she had in Hurricane Fluttershy. That was her at her best, I think. Pinkie is okay, she's just comedic relief anyways. Twilight is second deepest character, but I feel like she's a bit predictable. But Rarity is fine as is, she's a wonderfully complex character. |
| Dumb_Rock #1495344 5 days ago |
One would think someone like Rarity would have more standards. |
| Clopitor_the_Hydrogenous #1495352 5 days ago |
See with Rarity, they give her character flaws as well as strength. |
| Zombie_Trotsky #1495374 5 days ago |
I sorta meant AJ having interests outside of fruit for starters. Maybe she turns out to be an avid music lover.
Anything really. She's tied with Rarity as my favorite character, so I really am looking forward to depth beyond being rural and liking food. She has the (non-book) smarts of Twi and Rarity but can have occasional goofy and chaotic behavior, so you'd think she'd be given more development time. |
| Takuto_Shindou #1495388 5 days ago |
Applejack really needs character development,i thought she would be a important key in the discord episode but i was wrong,she's nothing but a supporting character when someone is feeling down.
Pinkie in the other hand had a character development by saying she doesn't like her friends to laugh at her,but with her. Fluttershy is basically shy or pissed,she's my least favorite pony out of the main characters(out of mane 6,spike and cmc) Rainbow dash is fine,she's awesome. Rarity and Twilight are the deepest characters,my 2 favorite characters so far. |
| Anonymous #1495396 5 days ago |
@Zombie I know what you mean, AJ is tied with Rarity for my fave character too but she is sadly very underdeveloped. It's funny to me how a background character like Vinyl Scratch has no actual canon personality whatsoever, and yet she's extremely popular... people have just given her whatever personality they like, and sadly it's usually more than poor AJ has really gotten in the show. |

Maybe it's going against the intended feel of the show, but I'd want the show to show less group-based stuff. Quality over quantity. Episodes with at most 3 of the 6 fare well with me, and that's the kind of format I'd like to see AJ and Fluttershy in. |

It's not that Dash is a chronic douchebag, it's just that the writers have no idea what they're doing with her. If she behaved like she did in Hurricane Fluttershy more often, then people would be less inclined to say "le derp, dash is such an arrogant cunt". TMMDW and May the Best Pet Win made her look like a completely unlikable bitchface mcgee, and the cider squeezy episode just made her a pathetic buttmonkey. A far cry from the first season, where she was one of the most popular ponies for good reason. |

Also bring back Trixie to show that her cocky attitudes was just a chilhood trauma,that she used to be shy and quiet and tried to be nice with other ponies but no one gave a fuck for her or accepted her ideas,so she became an asshole because it was the only way she found to imply her opinion and never be despised again.

Okay, I'll agree with you on that one. Chrysalis is mostly irredeemable and a complete monster, and all of the woobie fanon going around about her is ridiculous. It seems like a lot of it has gone away, though. Mostly because it is ridiculous. Just like how people were all "poor Woona! How dare that tyrant bitch Celestia hurt poor widdle Woona! She just wanted to be loved!" and conveniently ignore the fact that if Nightmare Moon had been allowed free reign, she would have ultimately turned half, if not all, of the world into an unlivable ball of ice and killed everything on it. She still would have been stranded on a desolate world, but the difference is that she would never have had a second chance. Whether it was intended or not, Celestia saved her from a far worse fate. |

Its not just her hair,trixie was also a villain the beginning,but when we got to see against a superior evil we could see she wasn't bad it all.
"Despite being a princess, Vivi never demands any special attention, nor does she put herself first above others. She often thinks of others before herself, risking her life to help anyone who needs her. She is also extremely brave when she needs to be, going up against powerful enemies to help her friends despite clearly being outmatched. Her selflessness and sense of responsibility are what pushes her to carry her country's burden. As a member of Alabasta's royal family, she loves her country and is willing to do anything for it, such as infiltrate the enemy or sacrifice her life for it. She also is not above doing tasks unsuitable for a princess, such as washing dishes. When she argues, Vivi has a hard time coming up with insults, usually just saying something of little offense - such as nicknaming Zoro 'Mr. Bushido and has a habit of biting her bottom lip when she is tense. She often gave little speeches about responsibility while traveling with the Straw Hats, but she does not like public speaking." I would be okay with this new Trixie :) |
