I like this. This kind of thing is the reason people tend to dislike guys like Leonardo of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cyclops of the X-Men or even someone like Optimus Prime. Good guys who follow the rules are dull, boring and bland.
 
Meanwhile, tough guys like Raphael, Wolverine or Grimlock? Guys who do whatever they want and fuck the consequences? Those guys are awesome! Leo wants to hold back and observe? Screw that, Raphael will get in there and kick some ass! Cyclops wants to come up with a plan? Shit, who has time for that? Just get Wolverine in there and watch him rip things up! Optimus wants to defend, build up his forces and wait for an opportunity? He’s a fucking coward; Grimlock will rush forward and make the opportunity, no matter how many Autobots get killed trying to follow him!
 
It’s like in the Transformers IDW comics. No one would’ve said Prowl was their favourite character when all he did was logically plan and point out the best course of action. But once IDW Prowl is revealed to be a completely amoral chessmaster who casually dismisses lives as expendable and boasts that he’s always looking far, far ahead? People love him.
 
Why isn’t simply being a good person not enough?

Okay, this is absurdly generic, even for me.

Oh, I didn’t realize the show/movie staff writes these blurbs for the Hasbro website; thanks for the information!

@Background Pony #618B  
Kinda agree with you there,besides they dont have a good basis to start with so how could they have turned that in a good way.It’s impossible  
Also those Flash toys are probably going to follow the Ghostbusters 2016 action figure in the clearance bin anyway.Nice waste of money

I’ve already pointed this out elsewhere, but the only reason most people find Flash bland is just like how people find Celestia bland: neither lend themselves to extremes and that makes them “bland”. People latch on to or create an extreme characteristic in order to lend itself to something “fun” with them.
 
That’s why Octavia isn’t just a cello player, she’s a posh clean freak pony who follows just about every posh stereotype. With Vinyl be the exact opposite. People created extremes so you can clash them against each other.
 
Flash has several character traits but they aren’t pushed to an extreme that would make him butt heads with others without both being negative. Why do you think so many latched onto his emotionally controlled dick behavior? It wasn’t just out of hatred, it was a point where his personality had an extreme to it. Being “normal” is bland.

@Background Pony #B122  
It’s funny how someone finds his ridiculous blandness as a good thing. Guess people don’t really need Flash’s character development after all, okay then.

@Background Pony #EC36  
Do you expect him to not be a perfect gentleman? Chivalry is an obvious and shown character trait - his introduction was freaking helping Twilight stand up. One of the coolest kids? No duh, that’s why Sunset used him. You’re treating it like completely new info.
 
Hell, it’s practically no different than those Mane 6 character introductions done before season 5 - this is just in text form.

@Background Pony #B122  
>perfect gentleman  
>chivalry  
>coolest dude in da crib yo  
This is a fucking overkill even for such Gary Stu as Flash.  
Maybe they tried to highlight his “traits” as you said, but they so overdid it, it’s goddamn laughable, like some caricature. They didn’t even try to add some new and believeable trait.

Drama when?

@Background Pony #EC36  
What did you freaking expect them to put? “Flash when left alone will go on a murder spree and kill everyone so he can have their waifus”? Dude, the point of these are to highlight goood characteristics of the character.

Haha, so kids that’s how you see staff totally gave up on progressing his “”“character”””. Now Flash is just a runing joke that beats even Edward in his blandness. I’m totally fine with it.

Instead of giving him a little depth they just said “Fuck it” and somehow made him even fucking blander than before, great job.

What exactly did you weirdos expect from a character card like this? Move on, this yapping is so old it’s fossilizing.

>one of the coolest students at [CHS]
 
A-ha. A-ha-ha-ha. You write this copy yourself, Flash?

Oh yes, chivalry is a well known concept in high schools.

Seriously? That’s ALL? Perfect chance to, oh, I don’t know, maybe EXPAND his character a bit, and all you do is TELL us he’s the perfect guy? Good grief…

This is official? Dang Hasbro, hire some decent copy writers and graphic artists proficient in Photoshop/GIMP; I know you want to cut costs, but this just looks like you don’t care.

@Dustcan  
I guess that’s debatable. Still, sans Twilight.

@621Chopsuey
 
Was he talking to any of them specifically? I remember the scene where he asked them if Twilight was coming, but I think he was speaking to them as a group.

@Dustcan  
Rainbow, Sunset, and Applejack in “Rainbow Rocks”.

Someone’s got “Nice Guy Syndrome” M’lady

“is a great friend to the Mane 6”
 
This would be a cool trait if it was ever actually used. Seriously besides Twilight has he even said two words to any of them?

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again.

@Background Pony #4E66  
Exactly my point.

@Brownee  
Except that he is cool and the guys that hate him are the ones that wear the fedoras. Really, only fedora wearing bronies hate him.
