Unpopular opinion time

I think Spike x Rarity was a terrible ship and we should all be ashamed of it.

@SleepySteve
Come on. Just because you hate that ship doesn’t mean everyone else has to. If you hate it so much, you should just filter it. You can’t just dictate who to ship with who and who not to. Nobody likes thought police.

But being the thought police is so fun. :.(

@SleepySteve
No, it isn’t.

Not just ships. Nobody has any right to tell others what characters or episodes they should hate, either.

@Megalobronia
Of course not. Calling out people for liking things you don’t is just wrong on too many levels to count.

@Andyxdr
I will say, I do admire how the ship shows Rarity’s kinder side.

@SleepySteve
Good.

@Mr.Myoozik
How do you feel about it now that it ended?

I didn’t care about the ship, but I would have liked to have an actual resolution to it; whether it’s them getting together, may get together in the future, or just confirming that no they will never get together.

@Ring Team
I don’t think they missed your point, they understood it completely

@SleepySteve
Nah, don’t wanna

@Background Pony #B990
Feel about what?

I can’t help but like Pipp. Sure she’s got flaws and all, but ugh. She’s so cute

Pipp has flaws, but, with the exception of one dumb episode, I don’t think it conflicted with the motivations of the character. It doesn’t feel out of character.

@Ring Team
Guess that explains why you currently have her as your site avatar :P

@DragonBoi471
That’s Zipp.

@Ring Team
Critical Realization God, I’m an idiot.

Anyway, while we’re on the subject of G5, Twilight’s cameo in MYM feels kinda weird to me because it implies that between the events of The Last Problem an its future ending scene, everyone in Equestria suddenly turned CGI before turning back into 2D vectors. Anyone else feel the same way?

@Moving
No shame in admitting that, she has plenty of fans

No.

I see that Twilight appearance as a recorded message, not as a presence.

I’m gonna say it:

I think Jazz is a cutie. I like her colour palette, her voice and such. Her name may be kinda silly. But it really fits at the same time.

I don’t care how much hate she receives. Sure she’s not the best character, and i do prefer her in the MYM universe rather than the TYT one. But she’s still decent

Also, Rocky is such a cute stallion and I like his colour pallete

All the ways in which they’ve attempted to make G5 share continuity with G4 feel totally hamfisted. It’s abundantly clear that they just don’t belong together.

Do you ship her with Pipp? I totally do.

@Spinny
Not really. Shipping isn’t really my type of thing, I don’t hate shipping, I’m just not interested. So I kinda just see them as good friends. Sorry

@Moving
Guess this is the perfect time to chime in with my unpopular opinion that I also do not care about ships. Actually, among casual fans, I don’t think that’s exactly unpopular, but it’s pretty crazy how serious a lot of the brony fandom takes shipping.

I second this, mainly because the age/maturity differences between Spike and Rarity. I always considered it a ship to nowhere, even back when I joined the fandom a gazillion internet years ago. Like the only ship that I ever really gave credence to (even back then) was the one the showrunners ironically made canon: Lyrabon.

@Ebalosus
I only ship a little nowadays.

Honestly they don’t have as much interaction as one might think in the show.

I always have felt like it can work if Spike and Rarity simply became completely platonic friends and when they grow up it tranaforms into somwthing more.

Regardless of ships, I kind of wish Spike and Rarity had more moments as genuine friends. I love how they interacted in the Molt Down episode with Spike.

I also wish there were episodes were Rarity was a good role model for Spike, like teaching him about cons or maybe about good manners
