I agree, but it's spelled Pinkie Pie, you were close though.

And now this thread is in my egosearch, life is good (comparatively speaking).

Every time I see a discussion about who is best pony, I can never decide. It's usually whatever pony I'm thinking of at that exact moment, except like Sweetie Bell. If I absolutely had to choose, it'd probably be Fluttershy though. Her hair is a heart! How can you not like that?

I really like best pony discussions because they invariably follow the format of "'X is best pony.' 'Oh yes, I completely agree that Y is best pony!'"

Well, can you imagine MLP:FiM fans going "you're a fuckwit, Y is the best pony you mirthless reptile"?

P.S. If you don't think Pinkie is the best pony, you are totally a mirthless reptile.

A mirthless reptile?

by **Kulantan** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 6:39 am UTC

That's the one.

So any given fan either thinks Pinkie Pie is the best, or they love her. There is no escape!

Personally, she's my favorite because I'm always going to find the absent-minded character to be the funniest. Adding wacky and bubbly on top of that is just the icing on the cupcake that may or may not contain contain horse meat.

I always thought Gummy is quite a mirthful reptile, if an oblivious one.

My Little Pony is awesome. Some friends got me into it one day and I was thinking that it was gonna be absolutely absurd. I was right, but it's also awesome. Favorite pony wise, I have to agree that Pinkie is awesome for comedic relief. I'm also a fan of Fluttershy. How can you not love her?

I should note though that I'm only like halfway through the first season so who knows if other crazy stuff will happen that will change my opinion.

It being a controversial fandom is not an excuse, because he also did 2 comics on the furry fandom (not that anything is wrong with furries).

Oh, and Dashie is best pony.

I'd be willing to bet that more webcomic authors have not made a comic about My Lil' Pony than have made a comic.

That said, Randall tends to make comics on things that interest him, caught his attention in the last few days, or just because he wants to get a point across about a subject. I suppose nothing here has interested him enough - the fandom isn't reviled like furries, and if it's not his thing it's not his thing.

Fluttershy is the best pony. Smart, kind, caring and cute. Fluttershy forever <3

Everyone knows Twilight is vastly superior to all other ponies.

by **PatrickRsGhost** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 12:59 pm UTC

WRONG! Rainbow Dash is clearly the best pony of them all. She's 20% cooler than all the other ponies combined.

by **thecommabandit** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 1:25 pm UTC

The frequency with which this argument arises tells you just how good a job the character artists, writers and voice actors did.

Also, Rainbow Dash.

Question! I was just telling a friend about the show and I told him he should watch it, but I am trying to figure out which episode to show him.... any suggestions?!

I'll start out with saying Twilight's my favorite. But that doesn't detract from any of the other mane six.

On the latest episode:

I heard that Dragonshy was a good episode for this. All six main chars get decent exposure, and at that point the series was beginning to hit its stride. Or whatever the appropriate horse pun is.

I second this, dragonshy is a great episode and has quite a bit of humour to try and bring people into the herd with.

Yeah, that bugged me a little. For one thing in season 1 the sonic rainboom was something really hard that dash was struggling to pull off and in season 2 she does one without anything more than a moment of screentime. Furthermore, she does that straight into the ground without needing any sort of medical assistance. :roll:

Have you seen the Rainbow Dash vs. Starscream thing? Rainbow Dash is invincible.

Wow, I hadn't seen that before. That's pretty awesome.

Alright thanks! yeah I really liked that one.... I should have thought of that one. Hopefully there will be a new brony soon!

It wasn't a sonic rainboom. It was one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that have become so popular lately. They just happened to reuse the graphic. But yeah, being able to survive that kind of impact does take the level of cartoonishness to a level that raises questions. Like "Did RD really save anyone in 'Sonic Rainboom', or would they have been just fine?"

The number is dwindling. Just today, Joel Watson joined the crowd with the latest Hijinks Ensue strip. Unfortunately, the fact that it is about Bronies was kinda the punchline, so I kind of ruined it.

Didn't like this episode.

They should have played Luna seriously, not inconsistent randomness. Everyone was out of character except Fluttershy.

Animation quality is definitely up from last season.
