Maud is smart

>>29978315
You mean she isn't retarded?

Am I right in that she's the only pony we've actually seen getting a higher diploma in any academic pursuit?

Twilight's concept art had that really neat outfit, but that's all I can think of.

>>29978444
Purple is intelligent but far from smart.

>she's a stand-up comedian
>it was bitter sarcasm all along

Well one of them earned a doctorate, and the other was given wings and a crown.

You tell me

>>29978513
That would be right ;_;

>>29978541
I like that they are keeping that angle.

>>29978315
>characterization
What fucking characterisation? That they didn't repeat a joke from an episode from literally more than 5 fucking years ago?

Are you really so retarded that you just scream random words to do with writing to make it seem likev the episode is deep?

Dang you sound mad. It demonstrates Maud's attention to detail like she shows with her rocks. Most people would have said turtle because they don't know or don't care about the distinction.

>>29978315
>(((tortoise))) (male)

>>29978315
Maud, an academic is smarter and more knowledgeable than an athlete.

>>29978513
She graduated in friendship.
This is literally the highest degree there is and one most people here will never match.
Getting a science degree is doable.
Socializing on the other hand...

I'm imagining Fluttershy hiding somewhere waiting to correct her, but hoofpumping instead because Maud nailed it.

She's a rock doctor.
Twiligh's only knowledge of surgery is when she butchered that dog under Celestia's orders.
