Hey that horse took my car! XD
PEOPLE ADDING BAIT FOR BIGGER FISH!
Yet… There are no funny images or responses…
Personally, I prefer Skate Failman or Horse Carjacker.
But She had so much personality and character development. Swing Girl is hands down Best Mlp/Eqg character.

Can’t forget this girl who tried to have fun on the swing set.
He’s not hard to like at all. That mentality is partly the product of some very silly fans with bogus ideas about how things should be in the show, and partly groupthink, I suspect. Flash is a completely inoffensive character, so the most vocal whiners invent ways to complain about him, and the rest merely go along. I have seen one or two objections that actually had a degree of sophisticated thought behind them, but those cases are pretty rare.
Also, that’s just an outright lie, there is almost nothing to Flash. He has all the personality of a background pony, but it seems like he was thrust into the foreground. I do hope that he gets some real development, but he is just completely flat at the moment; he is very hard to like.
If you’re sincere, props for being someone who refuses to jump on the Flash-hate short bus. I like Sunset best, but Flash is a good guy.
This.
And squeeze in Sonata and Indigo.
And let’s not forget Sunny Flare.
Which is actually my favorite Shadowbolt.
So…Lyra, the Doctor, BonBon, Muffins, Vinyl, Octavia, Steven Magnet, Button Mash, Filthy Rich, Turnip, and Aria Blaze?
exactly
All of terrible characters with little to none personality not showing any kind of development or progress for several years.
guess who else we’ll be there.
Basically, that.
@angrybrony
And, suddenly it’s a problem to defend the character? They argued, I countered. That’s how it works. You need to calm the hell down.
that’d be some miracle to do that.
I hope they don’t give up on him, but his role in FG was diminished from RR, so it looks like they might. I think they could still win over the majority with some clever writing though.
we get it flash is the fucking bees knees and is awesome and not a waste of animation and time
…And, your counter argument is? Oh right, it’s “Nuh uh, he’s shallow.” I basically listed off MULTIPLE instances for my argument. Not just one instance of him showing these traits.
It looks more like scraping the crumbs rather than actual character analysis, I get that flash fans are trying to come up at least with something to make flash look not so shallow but I guess it only works well in their head.
Oh? So he magically knew that Sunset Shimmer had Snips and Snails doctored photos? Or that they would be dumb enough to throw them in a trash can and where they threw them away? He only saw the manilla envelope.
I don’t think you know what speculation is. The egotistical part shows with the name of his band (Flashdrive), and his new song (Love in a Flash).
Self centered comes from asking for a dance at the end of EQ1 despite the fact Twilight had to leave.
Both are also showcased in Rainbow Rocks as his two worst personality traits when the “nice” is turned off by the Sirens spell - thinking he’s better than everyone else, thinking Twilight came back just to cheer for him, acting angry when she opposes him, and only caring about what he wants (as opposed to the Crusaders, for instance, who made a point that THEY’LL win).
The cool guy persona being a “persona” by him comes from admitedly a tweet from his voice actor but also shows up by simply hard he tries to come as cool (“Watch the hair!” and his finger gun in Friendship Games which come off as more dorky than cool, a sure sign of a tryhard).
Nice is by his treatment of basically everyone when not under his spell.
Helpful comes from helping Twilight stand, helping during the cafeteria song, getting Twilight out of trouble, and helping Sci-Twi stand and put her glasses back on.
Dorky and clumsy is him walking into a door with Twilight in EQ1, his expression at the end when he asks for a dance in EQ1, walking into a wall and saying “tight” at the beginning of Rainbow Rocks, his air guitar and his “concentration face” when writing out his sheet music in Banner Day, his expression when he and Bon-Bon made bread in Friendship Games.
Determined and somewhat intelligent I already listed but I’d like to add that he was also smart enough to break up with pre-reformed Sunset Shimmer.
So, no, these are traits he’s SHOWN unlike, in fact, most “fan favorite” characters like Lyra (oh, look, she’s never said anything about humans), Derpy (clumsy was added BECAUSE of headcannons), and Octavia (all she did was play the cello with zero dialogue but fan speculation was British, prim, and posh).
What drugs are you on, seriously? Most of us know he’s flawed as a character, those are just some jokes right there.
