In the Episode "Amending Fences" Twilight showcases just what an awful friend she truly is. Not showing up to Moondancers Party during a crucial moment in her development, led Moondancer to become socially awkward and reclusive, where as before she had potential, perhaps even as a princess, she now only serves as someone Twilight Sparkle can talk down to. A reminder of what she could have been. Moondancer probably spent several nights all on her own, wholly devoted to her studies, because she was otherwise empty inside.
These sorts of details were heavily downplayed during the episode, and cheap visual gags like such as Spike dressed like a maid, and that pony with a beaker on her head running around, were spotlighted, where Moondancers neglect is merely glanced over.

3. At the end of each episode for a while, Twilight gave a full synopsis as to the specific lesson she learned in that episode, but in "Lesson Zero" Twilight is willing to compromise her supposed belief system in order to not fail the supposed task Celestia had given her.

You could argue that somehow this makes her a more "human" character, but I argue the opposite, I think it makes her even more of an unrelatable cyborg-esque creature.
Ah yes, I remember my psychopathic obsession with success to the point where I abuse my position and sabotage others, making problems where they don't exist and throwing an entire town into chaos over a fucking book report because who fucking hasn't?

She quite literally that friend who will read you the riot act about recycling and then proceed to throw all her recyclables into the trash.

She has this habit of trying to force her misguided beliefs on others, without taking time to properly analyze what it is she's actually saying. She in my mind, never had the right to "teach" anyone, about anything. The student should have stayed the student.

Magical Mystery Cure.
Holy fucking Celestia, let's make Twilight a Princess and give unlimited power to a neurotic psychopath because what could possibly go wrong right?
Nevermind the host of better qualified canditates, my personal favorite of whom being Applejack.
A consistently level-headed character who never makes impulsive decisions.
And actually Applejack would have benifited so much more from this decision, a wings and horn to an Earth pony? I mean she'd be more useful in a fight, and you could even play it up big time for laughs and her getting used to it.

Celestia would have to explain to Twilight why she isn't a fit candidate yet to become a Princess.

But no, of course not. Because let's reward Twilight for her Spike abuse, emotionally based decision making, and god-complex psychopathic behavior with unlimited power, a castle, and a royal title.

So now until the end of time Twilight can lecture all of the other characters to death about how much more they need to learn about friendship because apparently no one else but Twilight learned anything.

5. In "What about Discord" Twilight again, post Princess-dom shows what a morallistically superior cunt she is, spending all weekend organizing books, and completely neglecting to spend even a single moment with her friends over a 3 day period.

Twilight then spends the rest of the episode, just baffled.

Baffled that she, miss-fucking perfect I read books all day Friendship Princess Bitch, was unable to in fact, maintain friendships.

But I actually do like the realistic portrayal of Discord here. Now see, I can imagine Discord IS, the type who could make legitimate friends.

Where as Twilight's friends are just placeholders for the Elements of harmony to Rainbowfuck baddies six ways to Sunday.

In real life, Twilight would have no friends, she'd be going to college for math, literature, and a liberal arts degree, blogging on her tumblr about all the "uneducated" and culture-less cesspool that our society has devolved into, and that we need to change the whole thing because muh vagina said so.

How anyone could ever like Twilight is beyond me. I'm sure I'll get called out for bait because wow, it's so impossible to have a contradictory opinion without it being bait.

>>26786909
Auctualy scratch that they are mostly fair points but the idea that applejack is level headed is bullshit.

Also it's not fair to blame twilight for celestias decision to promote her.

1. Agreed, however, by the time the scheme came up, Dash was already allowing her ego to put others in danger. Case in point, the very first person MDW saves would have ended up as a TV-PG splat, and Dash, being an idiot in an idiot plot doesn't try to join with MDW.

2. Huh, funny thing that, what could she have been possibly doing at that point, oh right the whole Nightmare Moon thing and getting called to work by her boss.

3.She'd, by that point always had a fear of failure, this was just her going into a freakout like Pinkie had in Party of One.

4. Yes, because as we've learned Alicorn are God's, who seem to be so ungodly even the lowest in power of real world myths would laugh at how pathetic they are. Phenomenal cosmic power, still taken down by plants, and a Jim Jones unicorn mare who can remove cutie marks.

5. Jesus, she spends time to herself, and, get this the episode makes it clear that it was only later that the rest of the main 6 even got all together with Discord that gave everybody the in jokes.

Scale it back namefag,. 5/10 git me to seriously bite.

>Years apart.

>>26787053
Yes, several years between the very first episode of the series which had Spike's gift for Moondancer's party. The very same episode where she's assigned to Ponyville what seems to be mere hours later (at most a day due to the day after tomorrow being the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration after the banishing of Nightmare Moon). So how many years is that?

Apply yourself.

>>26787012
>2. Huh, funny thing that, what could she have been possibly doing at that point, oh right the whole Nightmare Moon thing and getting called to work by her boss.
Right, because the whole Nightmare Moon thing didn't take less than a day to deal with, and she didn't even bother to tell Moondancer jack shit, not even a "Hey, sorry I can't come" or bother to revisit her until years later because "Oh shit! I had friends before!"

It's a bit odd that someone like that was able to become a princess of friendship. You'd think not being like that would be kind of a prerequisite in order to obtain such a position.

O rly? You know normally a character is supposed to have faults in order to develop. Apparently Twilight didn't get that memo.

>>26787226
It was already a year as of Secret of My Excess, you seriously think seasons 3 and 4 don't add another year to that schedule making it "years"?

>>26787198
Year later anon, at most a year and a half that was packed with quite a bit.

Oh wait are you one of those faggots who think 1 season = 1 year?

I'd say her severe neuroses and Responsibility OCD combined with an antisocial personality are some pretty glaring flaws for a character to have, and she still struggles with them to a certain degree

I'm going to need you to sit down from your amazing mental gymnastics for a moment and tell me how the fuck you came to that conclusion.

There's no such thing as a legitimate reason to hate anything. You shouldn't allow your emotions to supersede your better judgement.

>>26787248
>O rly
Because Twilight was always the calm composed pony we no today and in no way was she awkward and dutifully lacking in a social skills. Definitely is still the same pony who would hypnotize the town because she couldn't right a letter.

>>26787258
Pretty sure they say "They were in Ponyville for a year" in that episode. If it isn't that one, it's an episode close to it. I wouldn't say each season is a year after that, but I think it's extremely fair to say the rest of S2, S3 and S4 can count as another year, going by seasons.

>>26787309

Opinion discarded

>>26787352
I'm not finding it in the episode. I either misremembered it, or it's somewhere else. Most likely the former, and I also don't feel like digging, so for the sake of argument I'll say I'm wrong.

But I'd still swear to it that it's been at least a year and a half from FiM to MMC, I'd find it ridiculous if Twilight became a Princess in any less time than that.

>>26787248
No it wasent the second year untill towards the end of season 3 with the summer sun celebration

It's bullshit but it's undeniable that episode was the first summer sun celebration since the premier.

They seem to be appearing up now though.

>>26786793
The only one of these that could have had a good point was the first one, and >>26787012
has already explained why your point is poorly thought out. Rainbow was endangering ponies lives in exchange for showmanship and needed to be brought down a peg. They could have talked to her about it, yes, but Rainbow is notoriously difficult to convince when she thinks she is in the right, and as we saw in her test episode, learns better by being shown things rather than being told things.

The rest of your points are actually the entire point of the episodes you are complaining about.

2. The point of the episode was to show you what can happen when you ignore friends. Twilight recognizes she was a horrible friend by the end, and I disagree with you about Moondancer's neglect being downplayed.

3. Again, the entire goal of the episode is to explain that Twilight is indeed letting her desire for success run her life, and the goal is to get her to recognize that she can't continue to function that way.

4. Every complaint you have is completely subjective, and I disagree entirely.

5. Again, you seem to have missed the point of the episode. The point was to show that you can keep friends without spending every waking moment with them, but you have to accept that you'll miss out on some things, and that is okay. Also, Discord planned the whole thing to make Twilight miss the event. It wasn't even her fault. DYEWTS?

>>26787423
>I'd find it ridiculous if Twilight became a Princess in any less time than that.
Oh it is utterly ridiculous that's why there was so much rage when it was revealed that it had only been a fucking year.

>>26787469
>Discord planned the whole thing to make Twilight miss the event
I auctualy disagree with this I think discord did nothing wrong in that episode and the ponys had no reason to get mad at him at the end.

>>26787506

He did go out of his way to make Twilight feel as miserable as possible through out the episode. Even "admitting" by saying how he "might" found pleasure in seeing Twilight struggle. The whole laughing at someone rather than with someone spiel.

>>26787532
Well OK you are right he did act like a dick about it but I'm sure he had twilights best interests at heart when he encouraged them to leave her to her sorting.

>>26787540
True, he probably did have her best interest at heart. However his "means" of doing so were rude, well intentioned, but rude none the less. A small scolding by the ponies probably served as his own lesson to take other ponies feelings into consideration, rather then playing "dungeon master" without consequence. Benevolent manipulation is still manipulation.

It's almost as if this is a kids' show with characters whose personalities are supposed to be relatable to KIDS.
For fuck's sake. Of course they aren't going to make perfectly rational decisions all of the time.
The writers write the plot and the characters in such a way that children are able to easily follow the plot. To make it make perfect sense would be boring(to a kid) and adultish. That isn't what kids want, so that's not what the show is about.

I suppose I need to provide another example? Let's look at "Feeling Pinkie Keen"
An overlooked scene is at the very beginning, Twilight berates poor Spike as he's distracted by Pinkie wearing a rainbow umbrella hat.

Even after Spike is almost knocked out by a rock that Twilight levitates over his head, she blames Spike for being distracted because "the magic needs their full attention."

Oh yeah, I'm sure you really need to learn this pointless spell of turning leaves into a fucking Tuxedo because that'll totally come in handy all the time.

And from there on it's Twilight constantly fedora tipping she can't just accept that something is happening that doesn't have a solid explanation.

No her autism single hoofedly puts all of her friends in danger all because she couldn't believe that something magical happened in a magical world

>Applejack
>a qualified candidate for a princess
>not a self-centered psychopath

I'm sorry, did you WATCH the episode in which Applejack insisted that none of her friends were as good as her so they couldn't help her buck apples? Even when she was literally killing herself working so hard, she insisted there was no possible way any of her friends can help her. In fact, she was so condescending that not only did she think that no one could possibly help her in her state, but she still thought that she could ALSO help other people with the things they were doing.

You are clearly drunk. Try again to muster up unreasonable hate in the morning.

>>26786856

>>26787768

Literally every single Spike episode is like a kick to the nards.
To site specific instances of every case of abuse would be like to extract all the salt from the ocean.

There's so much there that there simply isn't any point.

Heres something, why does Twilight not just red-pill Spike and tell him that Rarity is just using him?
Or better yet, just date the little purple lizard herself?

I know, he's just a mailbox/slave, how dare I suggest the mighty Princess have a romantic relationship.

It's not like they share a room, spend exorbitant amounts of time together, work well as a duo, and have a similar color scheme.

Inb4,
>b-but they're family
It's a pony and a dragon holy shit they aren't even blood related.

>>26787768
>>26787771
It's called being self reliant, unlike Twilight using her mailbox slave to do everything, even going so far as to get a new pet just so the pet can work the night shift!

Applejack is the pinnacle of perfection, the true patricians waifu. She's kind, honest, loyal (even more so than Dash).

She's down to earth, level headed, strong, compassionate, and a caring sister/family member.

And she doesn't even have the luxury of parents. So fuck you and your completely shit taste you cockgobbling faggot.

>>26787858
You rebutted my point with a massive tangent on Twilight dating spike. There's not even a facet here for me to argue logically.

Also, their comes a point where self-reliance is damaging. She was clearly taking on a task that required her family and was hurting herself (and Rainbow) in the process. The point of the episode was to learn that its okay to accept help when you need it.

>>26787858

>Implying being so self reliant to the point of hurting yourself isn't a positive trait.

Implying Applejack doesn't have the best work ethic, with a real get-er done kinda attitude.

>>26787934
Oh and what does Twilight represent? Magic?

Thats why she sucks at it and is constantly being outclassed right?

And why she needed Rainbow Dashes sonic rainboom to activate her cutie mark right?

This is why Applejack is so much better.

Applejack despite her failings is still the most dependable pony. Always willing to work hard to get the job done.

And let's talk about "honesty" here.

Honesty isn't really an element of friendship at all. Applejacks element should have been "the element of dependability" BUT I'm pretty sure the writers have autism so whatever.

How would you like if someone "so dependable" that you gave a fucking job to do, would on a fucking WHIM drop it in the middle of the fucking road just to "run back one last time" to autistically check every last single fucking detail about her "little baby sister" that she already explained (overly) a million times?

thats not how you spell applejack.

twilight is a fucking shut in grown ass mare who barely knows what a friend is and is finding out how to make and keep one in her adult life rather than her childhood. why you think she should be privy to RD's crippling insecurities is beyond me.

You can hate twilight because of that, but the fact that she has these weaknesses and they aren't called attention to is a mark of realism in an otherwise contrived show.

>>26786805
As previously established, Twilight is litterally a dog with a chemistry set when it comes to friendship, you got what you paid for.

>>26786834
Twilight is a fucking nut case, already went over that in a way, but what do you think being the tutor of litterally mlp's form of the EMPEROR PROTECTS is going to do to a fragile filly mind? It does make her more human, you'd have to be a retard to insist otherwise. what that doesn't make her, and what you are obviously groping for despite being inept about it, is that it doesn't make her relatable. good for you? you don't relate to twilights struggle, maybe a lot of people don't. You know who fucking does? children. children constantly try to please their parents for the most part, so of course theyre going to show a lesson on how not to go off the deep end when you don't have anything cool to show to dad and he seems more concerned about his beer and is being short with you.

>>not the voice of reason
just because someone is a lying little cunt doesn't make their advice not reasonable dipshit, but I assume someone who can't handle flawed characters wouldn't understand how fucking common the down to earth rouge is as a character archtype.

>>26789691
Sorry, the occasional good piece of wisdom doesn't outweigh the fact that she's squandering the magical fucking embodiment of honesty by being a spineless bitch half the time.

not that ANY other mane 6 is any different
'Shy has the biggest cruelty streaks
Pinkie has the deepest depressions
Dash betrays people more than Discord and Tirek combined, quantitatively
Rarity is a selfish bitch
Twiggy, the element of magic, doesn't know shit about offensive magic

>>26789699
You make an excellent point, but for my arguement not your own, you already made it clear that the ponies being shit at what they do is unremarkabley common. This negates it as a factor.

I'll re-impress upon you the obvious factor that put of the ones you listed that applejack is the strongest voice of reason, at least to the point to make putting twilight as the voice of reason to be pants on head retarded.

Possible alternatives to applejack I suppose could see pinkie pie beat her out. I'm honestly not sure how to weight the difference between the voice of reason and the voice of meta.

This is not correct. Pinkie's senses going off actually saved Fluttershy. Fluttershy was going to Froggy-Bottom bog to drop off the frogs anyway. Pinkies senses about something huge going down at Froggy-Bottom bog made everyone think something big was happening there, so they all rushed to help because they thought Fluttershy was in danger. Her senses were actually flipping out about Twilight coming to grips with the fact that it didn't make sense, but they saved Fluttershy.

Twilight is the element of magic, and she isn't outclassed at it constantly. It also doesn't mean she has to be the best at it, though. It means that she exemplifies what magic should be. Now, I'm not positive what that means because it isn't explained, but Twilight's magic is tempered by knowledge and, later on, friendship. The other unicorns in the show who are antagonists do not prove to have the same traits that Twilight shows us. Trixie has no friends, and uses her power as a unicorn to first, embarrass others and lie about her own skill, then she uses augmentation to overpower and dominate ponies. Flim and Flam use their powers to cheat people, and Starlight Glimmer, who Twilight admits is just as good at magic as her, uses her powers to oppress other ponies.

The reason Twilight needed the rainboom, why all of the mane six needed the rainboom, was to show that they are all connected. Rainbow wouldn't have done the rainboom if she had not been proving her loyalty to Fluttershy, Applejack was being honest with herself when it happened, Rarity was generously trying to improve costumes for the play, Fluttershy was being kind to animals, Pinkie was searching for something to bring laughter to others, and lastly, Twilight was attempting magic. The important point here is that Twilight even says it in the second episode, is that the magic isn't there without friendship. Once the rainboom happened, connecting all six of them together, Twilight was able to perform far better than she normally would. She didn't know it, but the elements did.

>it's common, so it's fine

This is a satirical representation of every form of organized ignorance in human history. Hope it was bait.

I remember when Twilight stopped GlimGlam from taking away their cutie marks, oh wait..

>Being a nice big sister is a bad thing.

If this is a character flaw, then my name is Sally. Because last time I checked being kind and caring was one of the elements of harmony, so it can't be bad.

Lying isn't even something that will make you lose friends. In fact, lies will help you keep friends 99 percent of the time.
Source- Someone who actually has friends.

Like Dr Logic said, Applejack is the element of Dependability, not honesty. You don't have to be honest to have friends.

having godlike magical power and knowing a shitton of advanced spell doesn't necessarily make you good at fighting. she's not the element of combat.

How are dashfags still butthurt over this?

>>it's common so it's fine.
yes that's how it works when you are attempting to convey ideas to an audience.

>>26790550
Sure, whatever you say, Sally.

>>26786915
She is no longer like that. They vitiated her character.

>>26791297
That episode is literally not canon.

>>26791421
Got a source on that, friendo?

>>26786793
I don't dislike her as much as you but you certainly have valid points.
