No one would even notice until we realize that there is no orange pony holding a magical device at the season finale to help Twilight save the day.

>>27993751
I'd have absolutely no reason to watch the show. She's literally the only thing keeping me interested.

That would be worse than MMC, and I am not even an applefag. For me she is tied for 3rd place with all of mane six except for Dash and Rara.

They'd probably write out the other 5, before writing out her.

I don't - seriously - hate any single pony.
I simply mock her for being so boring in a show that is full of funny random shit and cartoony stuff.
Is like the serious guy in men in black, nobody cares much about him, but he makes the jokes really funny.
So while AJ, doesn't have much merit alone, combine with Ponk she is pretty fun simply to show how ridiculous Ponk really gets.

You can laugh at AJ as well.
Like in "Applejacks day off" she tries to feed pigs while hanging from a rope all like "This is how we do it" and Twilight's just like "You stupid mud pony!".

Yeah I get that she is boring but remember that this is a kids show. I would rather have my daughter look up to AJ or Ponk than any of the others, not like I have a choice in the end though.

Fluttershy is a good pony. She has a job unlike what the fucking retards here say.

REMINDER

Mane 6 appearances as of Episode 129 (appearances meaning full focus shots and/or background shots; mentions by name do not count):

Applejack – 13 no-shows out of 129
Twilight – 14 no-shows out of 129
Rarity – 18 no-shows out of 129
Rainbow Dash – 19 no-shows out of 129
Pinkie Pie – 20 no-shows out of 129
Fluttershy – 26 no-shows out of 129

Applejack has appeared more than any other of the Mane 6. Going by full-focus shots, Applejack and Twilight are the only two of the Mane 6 to appear in every episode of at least one season, Twilight being S1 and Applejack being S3 (if background shots are counted, Rarity and Rainbow Dash for S3 as well).


Applejack, alongside Spike, is also the only character to retain the same name and appear in every generation of My Little Pony except G2.

She's here to stay.

Pretty much this guy.

AJ is the straight mare, she could easily be written off as a background character, like cheerilee. You know, pop up sometimes to do "this is what you have to do to do X"

In fact that's why she's so OOC in her newest ep, she's the least probable one to have a flaw, so for the sake of giving her one for the episode they made her suddenly retarded and doing the sort of shit she'd correct other people (like she does in the first half)

Dash hasn't been more important since S1 and Faust left.

Even the finale ABOUT the sonic rainboom had dash as barely a footnote with Twilight the only truly important pony: Notice the ONE character missing from all those bad timelines? Its not dash.

>>27993802
Seen Applejack's day off?

they turned twilight into the levelheaded voice of reason for the group, AJ was made redundant by twilight literally stealing her archetype and incorporating it into her magical girl archetype.

AJ has issues of lacking a real point to the group anymore; She can't even be the second in command anymore since Starlight and sunset have taken that role.

AJ suffers from serious lack of Purpose due to constantly having her shit stolen.

>>27993829
They got rid of the EOH a long time ago; AJ isn't needed for that anymore, Twilight has solved the last World destroying crises without the EOH.

She solved the S5 finale without the other five and She solved the S6 finale without the other 5 as well: it was just starlight/sunburst and the princesses.
the other 5 could have basically stayed home in equestria for how much they mattered.

Likewise, they could have stayed home for the S3 premiere. Or fuck, they weren't even needed for the S2 finale, only shining armor, cadence and twilight truly mattered.


The only times they've mattered were the S1 premier, the S2 premier and the S4 finale. The majority of the time the other 5 aren't needed, and since the elements of harmony are permanently gone, that makes AJ even LESS important.

>>27994617
Why the hell would I be angry? I'm just pointing out the truth.
Starlight is FAR more important than applejack right now, and AJ doesn't really have much of a purpose.

>>27994682
They CAN be important if the writers SPECIFICALLY write the plot to tailor to them. As things stand, they really, really aren't neccessary. The only thing that made them relevent at the start of the series was them being connected to the EOH.
However, as the show has gone on, they've power creeped twilight up so that she LEGITIMATELY can solve issues without needing the EOH, and at the same time Shuffled the EOH out of the equation so they're not really needed anymore.


This has caused the other 5 to no longer have a real reason to be relevent besides "They know twilight." that is LITERALLY the only thing keeping them relevent at this point. None of them have any really special skills that would be needed to solve criseses: RD has been retconned to not being any better than the other wonderbolts as a flyer to keep her from being "too special", and the other 4's skills aren't anything truly unique either.


As such, when an equestrian threatening event rolls up, it basically ends up as a situation where you have ONE super hero and then 5 muggle friends of that hero who don't really have much business except to be moral support for the hero.
Why do you think they're slapping random ass magic on the other 5 in legend of everfree? They've basically realized this and are trying (Desperately) to find a way to make it seem less apparent.

For example, if there's a massive threat to Equestria like Tirek or Discord. The Mane 6 have always been the ones to handle those kind of threats.

>they've power creeped twilight up so that she LEGITIMATELY can solve issues without needing the EOH
She only solved the S5 finale because she was the only with knowledge of the siuation, and she knew the spell. Starlight was reformed with a short speech.

All other threats were solved with other ponies, the Mane 6 excluding S6 opener

>that is LITERALLY the only thing keeping them relevent at this point
yeah, because friendship is magic. Them being friends with twilight is the reason they defeated Tirek without the EOH

>it basically ends up as a situation where you have ONE super hero and then 5 muggle friends of that hero who don't really have much business except to be moral support for the hero.
How the fuck would Twilight beat anything without them? We saw her try and fail against Tirek; the Mane 6 defeated hi, not Twi

>>27994806
>Them being friends with twilight is the reason they defeated Tirek without the EOH
No, they defeated Tirek because they were handed a "EOH power up" box by the tree of harmony. Not because they were friends.

Without that box they were worse than useless.

>>27994806
>How the fuck would Twilight beat anything without them? We saw her try and fail against Tirek; the Mane 6 defeated hi, not Twi
Tirek was holding her own against tirek and COULD concievably have defeated him all on her own; She only "lost" to him because the other 5 were used as hostages: In other words, the other five were not only not helping her, they were LIABILITIES.
The only reason they won in the S4 finale was due to having a "insta win" box from tree.

>>27994806
>For example, if there's a massive threat to Equestria like Tirek or Discord. The Mane 6 have always been the ones to handle those kind of threats.

They have solved those threats SOLELY due to the elements of harmony; Without the elements of harmony, the other 5 are completely useless in those scenarios.

Twilight is the only one with skills that let her solve world threatening scenarios WITHOUT a giant "Insta win" macguffin.

The EOH were abandoned to the tree and the Mane 6 are still connected to the Cutie Map, and are chosen by it to solve problems, so your point is invalid by canon, unless you can provide canon evidence to the contrary

>Tirek was holding her own against tirek and COULD concievably have defeated him all on her own
>The only reason they won in the S4 finale was due to having a "insta win" box from tree.
Exactly. The Mane 6 were much better at defeating Tirek than Twi was. They also did it without destroying shit

>They have solved those threats SOLELY due to the elements of harmony; Without the elements of harmony, the other 5 are completely useless in those scenarios.
Tirek, you idiot

>WITHOUT a giant "Insta win" macguffin.
Except Twi hasn't beaten anything without the Mane 6, except Starlight, and that was only because of a last resort friendship speech. Were the Mane 6 there, they could've blasted her

But twilight was explicitly stated by celestia to be the only one she figured would be capable of handling all that magic, PLUS twilight is an alicorn, allowing her to do that.

Once again, twilight is specifically the only one with the abilities and skill needed for saving the day WITHOUT the Elements of harmony.

Twilight got turned into a princess in order handle more magic and is the only connection to the elements the princesses have. Without either they would of lost to Tirek. They could of just as easly ganged up on Tirek and delt with him at any point, but instead they choose to give Twilight an ego boost and let her retain (it means hold by the way) their magic and lure Tirek to the elements.

Also:

>Not knowing that the Element bearers are now THE elements of harmoney.

The background pony that's been around since generation 1 is still around?

>>27993751
Going to be fully honest; I don't think it would change much. And I think hasbro would LOVE IT.

AJ's a great character that OLDFAGS specifically like, but I don't think she resonates with the target audience or newer fans. She's constantly being left out of toylines by hasbro, is never in the McDonalds meal, has ZERO goals in life to give her an arc, and overall just isn't very toyetic.


I honestly think hasbro would be happy to reduce her to a cheerilee level as a secondary pony and replace her, and I don't think it would alter much. The only character really affected would be RD due to having chemistry with her, but RD has chemistry with everyone anyways.

>>27994659
Yes, try hard AJ for the win

>>27993751
That would be bad. And I don't even like Applejack. But without her, who would feed Fluttershy? Who would tease Rarity about getting mud on her? Who would be left to be the Tank member on the team? (She's a weightlifter.) And as long as there's Applejack, there's the chance of Tirek's Heartbag turning her into that lizard creature from Nightmare Castle and using her as one of four ponies to ride the ending of the world.

>>27997410
>Who would be left to be the Tank member on the team?

Applejack can't tank shit, she's not some goddamned Xmen with Super powers. Twilight's the closest thing to a tank the team has due to her forcefield powers.

We're around. We have a comfy thread about once a month but there's maybe twenty of us.

We are part of an old, dying breed. The other anon wasn't wring about us being oldfags, in more ways than one. Most of us applefags were already out of college, established or becoming established. I already have a wife and two little girls.

AJ is loved precisely because she doesn't have some major plot arc or big character flaw to overcome.

She is the only one of the group who is self-actualized. She knows her place in the world and leans towards a more level headed approach to problems.
She has responsibilities, avoids drama, and is focused on family and friends. She has always been a support character and I'm 100% okay with that.

If I ended up in Equestria I probably couldn't stand being around the other mane 6 for more than a hour or so, just like I can't handle college girls or worse yet teenagers.

She is the woman you go home to after a hard day of work, sit on the porch with a cold cider and a hand-rolled cigarette, and watch the sun set together without ever having to say a word.
