Unpopular opinion time

@Ring Team
I have to ask though what is there to disagree with in the first paragraph? All those are aspects of his character shown

@Andyxdr
I’m trying to make a different point. What I mean is that I like a character who knows what he does even if he’s always or ocasionally malicious than a character that causes problems because they’re too impulsive or because they lack fat inside their heads.

@CORDZ2000
Yeah, Bill is an awesome villain while Discord is an awesome villain too. He just pretends he is not a villain anymore for some reason. If only he commits to his crafts more. :D

@Just Wayne
You haven’t been able to trigger me this whole conversation lil bro

So there’s this comic that’s been grabbing people’s attention and it’s about Sunny Starscout having anorexia. While I’m glad that it has fans and it relates to people with eating disorders, but am I the only on who’s not interested in it?

@Mr.Myoozik
I’m not that interested, either. I didn’t even know about it until now.

@Mr.Myoozik
You could always filter it. I was almost liking where it was going though, until it went back to Sunny suffering again.

@Just Wayne
It’s too melodramatic for me, even from the start. I just don’t like how Sunny’s character was drastically changed to have her suffer just to get sympathy, it’s too OOC for me.

@Mr.Myoozik
I believe it.

@Mr.Myoozik
Eh, not the worse case of OOC, there are definitely worse. This one at least came out of someone’s personal experience than just outright spiting the character. I guess I’ve just seen enough grimdark MLP stuff to be phased.

It also helps that the personal experience part means it should be more accurate.

@Just Wayne
I don’t like those kind of universes. The ones where one character is the most hated. You can’t see it here anymore but there’s one where Fluttershy or “The Yellow one” did something atrocious that everyone hates her in-universe. What is it? It’s so bad they don’t even want to speak of it. So to me it seems like they hate her because they can.

@Phoenixflambe
I don’t really know anything about what you said, but this one feels almost slightly different for me. This one isn’t really done with just “being dark and edgy for dark and edgy sake” but more like it wants to tell a story and go into something positive eventually. Well again, almost. It went back to Sunny suffering again really soon, which took several steps back to what I thought it was going to do, so yeah, it’s not doing it for me now either.

@Just Wayne
Well, “out of character” doesn’t always mean demonizing them in order to make them look bad, it just means overall change their canon personality so much that it makes them unrecognizable.

In the series, Sunny is a cheery, optimistic character who embraces everyone for who they are and just wants to have a good time and having her suffer a disorder like that is just to sudden and jarring for me. If this was say Pipp who has it, then it would at least be kinda understandable for a lot of reasons. I know that the artist said in the beginning that it is based off of their IRL condition and the comic is just a way to vent out their frustrations, which I got nothing bad to say about that.

It’s just not the comic for me since it’s too bleak and dark for my tastes and I feel kind of alone in not being into it since everyone seems to like it.

@Mr.Myoozik
Eh, I look at it from more of a storytelling standpoint, and if it takes steps back in development, it’s lost on me.

@Just Wayne
Oh I thought you were talking about the ‘spiting the character’ thing.

We now have a official tag name for images that focus on Opaline’s plot. We should be using that as her plot tag now, it’s canon.

I don’t know if this is a hot take, but My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has too many episodes.

@Ring Team
It has too many bad and mediocre episodes. But if the numbers were cut randomly, whose to say it would be them and not the good ones which would disappear? If quality is a roll of the dice, then better to roll more than less.

@Dustcan
But we have so many evil butts everywhere. Why should her butt in particular have a tag?

@Latecomer
I don’t think so. Too much of a thing would become into a bad thing, it would make it less special. This is why I’m happy that Cowboy Bebop has 26 episodes instead of, say, 475 episodes. This is why I’m happy that Spirited Away is one movie instead of a trilogy. This is why I’m happy that Gravity Falls has 2 seasons instead of 8 seasons.

There’s another consequence of having too many episodes: Once you finished highlighting the features of one character in his/her episodes, you have to start writing new episodes where the new features of this character are quirks you wouldn’t associate to that character. TV Tropes even pointed that out in the case of Pinkie Pie, and I quote:

I said it a couple of years ago, but less is more. Imagine if the videogame ICO lasted for 50 hours due to features such as new outfits, sidequests, side characters, new levels, etc. It wouldn’t have been as special as it is now.

@Just Wayne
Because her’s is a canon evil butt.

@Ring Team
I wouldn’t take what TV Tropes says as objective fact, it is still a website written by people who have different subjective criteria, especially the tropes that fall under the YMMV category.

My hot take: I like Sparky better than Flurry Heart. I never really liked Flurry Heart’s routine of “Ruining everything, looking adorable, and then no one doing anything about it” and she never really got out of that. I know she is a baby but it was always annoying for me. Sparky messes things up too but he doesn’t really do it in a absolutely harmful way and it’s usually funny. Plus he seems to grow away from that routine recently and starts to have emotion outside of “innocent smiling” and “crying when your bad behavior is called out”. Both are baby characters but I feel like one is more endearing than the other. I will admit Spike is better than Sparky though.

@Just Wayne
I kind of agree even though I’m not a fan of Sparky either
