Aww man, all my griping did was erase the female lead

E À =

Nice poll, but where's the check box for "other?"

Huh. Interesting. I guess in the episodes she IS in she's used too much...? I dunno. Maybe 'cuz she's kinda annoying to me it makes it feel like she's used more than she really is. XD;

She really steals every scene she's in. She's the Joan Rivers of the troupe. Funny, yes, but often the center of attention.

She's also bright pink, squealy, and talking a lot is part of her character.

She's one of my faves, but I can see why she would annoy people.

If one of the other ponies was captured the way Rarity was, everypony would still come to their rescue. But because it was Rarity in this instance, they didn't expect her to be able to fight back the way they all would.

I guess the moral was kind of "Pretty fillies can handle themselves, but maybe not in the way you'd expect." Or something.

I really think this one is as simple as what Twilight says, verbatim: "Just because somepony is ladylike doesn't make her weak."

They'd still come to, say Rainbow Dash's rescue, but their daydream sequences would probably show her bucking and struggling and making a mess, rather than fainting. It's not that Rarity was more in need of a rescue than the others, it's that they assumed the experience was somehow more trying or more difficult for her because she's ladylike.

True, they didn't expect her to handle it how she did, but they didn't expect her to handle it at all.

Given how commonly people do this RL, it's worth an episode.

I think this episodes meaning was stated pretty clearly "Don't underestimate somepony just because's she's a filly."

If I was going to look deeper into it, Twilight's a filly, as are Dash and AJ, and the other ponies wouldn't have expected them to be useless if they were kidnapped, but they're all tomboys. What made the gang underestimate Rarity is her femininity. Femininity is often associated with weakness, but Rarity proves this isn't the case. Twilight realizes in the end that the "girly girl" can take care of herself pretty well after all.

This is the closest we've gotten to a Spike episode. <3 "An Hero" version of Spike!

Of the main six? Pinkie Pie. Definitely. Without a doubt. I love them all, but Pinkie Pie is annoying and has minimal depth compared to the other members of the main cast. I think she's rather over used too.

Pinkie Pie has been shown in fewer episodes than any of the other Six, according to IMDB.com

Some people just like villains, and of all the villains, Trixie was given the least positive portrayal. She didn't do anything likable at all.

I probably like Fluttershy the least of the main gang, but I love Fluttershy.

Of everyone, I probably hate Celestia the most. Her voice is just a bit too sweet for my liking. But I can't say I hate her, I'm just lukewarm. There really isn't anything about this show that I hate.

The way I see it is MLP is the TMNT of 21st century

I see this as in its own category. There hasn't really been a cartoon quite like this one. I think that's part of the excitement around FiM.

If this board is full of furries, I've got to say I rather enjoy the company of furries.

And god, does this cartoon have gorgeous backgrounds... Visually interesting, but not scene-stealing. Staged well so the action reads. Those backgrounds are old-school in the best possible way.

"Hi!"

I like the vibe of this place. All serious looking and stuff, with size limits on sigs. I do worry about the actual english only rule though. Not that that's difficult to do, but sometimes a joke's just funnier in allcaps, knaamean (I hope the occasional ebonic is alright as well )
