Applejack still being so incerdibly underrated and keeps losing polls makes me depressed. Why is she so hated? It's not fair. And I hate the memes about her, why does she has to get the offensive ones and the other gets fun ones? Everything about being an Applejack fan is unfair, I feel left out and lonely because of it. If only changing favorite whenever we wanted to was possible...
Bree - 7 years ago
Ugh. Anxiety and no parents are never even proven, that's headcanon. But if that was the case it should be in the show, she'd be slightly better then.
Here's the full reason I hate Starlight. I didn't really want to discuss more, but Startards are just so annoyingly obnoxious and unfair hypocrites.
She was a leader and confident as a villain, those traits disappeared and her voice became pitched. She felt like a different character. Her leadership qualities slightly showed in the S6 finale.
Also, her becoming overpowered doesn't make sense. She had to spend years learning a spell in her introduction episodes, but suddenly was overpowered later in the same season. That's just cheap! I really dislike overpowered characters (compared to other mains), but when it's done this poorly I just despise them.
But I'd still hate her for how she ruined everything for the remane five's chance at two-parter focus until they get them.
If those three were fixed I'd love Starlight, but only then. And since one is impossible to fix I'll never love Starlight Glimmer. She's a cheap character and ruined the show for other fans. She had potential, but that was destroyed.
Bree - 7 years ago
@Hawk: Sorry but I don't want to discuss this further, it's impossible getting a point into your tiny brain. Keep being delusional if that's what you want, Starlight is unrealistic whether you like it or not.
Hawk - 7 years ago
@Bree
This is laughable. Sunset didn't change her personality? Are you serious? At the beginning or Rainbow Rock, she was a COMPLETELY new character. She no longer had an ego, she no longer had any power hunger or ambition. On the other hand, Starlight still uses magic to solve her problems after reformation, and she's still afraid of making friends. Yes, she changed a lot, but she still maintained many of her character traits.
And are you seriously telling me that Sunset's excuse was better or more realistic than Starlight's?! Power hunger/wanting attention is more relatable than losing a friend?! No, just no.
You say you lost many friends and got over it, but that's YOU, not Starlight; Different people react to the same thing differently. For example, let's say two people were bitten by a dog. One of them may still like dogs, the other may stay scared of them forever. That's why Starlight turned into a villain, but Moondancer didn't. I can't believe I'm explaining this, it's extremely obvious.
Not to mention that Starlight 1) Has social anxiety, so making friends is hard for her. She managed to be friends with Sunburst, but when he was gone she couldn't make new friends. 2) In the flashback we saw no parents, so Starlight had no one to guide her or stand by her side.
Bree - 7 years ago
@Hawk: And as I said some people want attention. But they don't do anything nearly as bad as Starlight did. And Starlight is the one who turned 180. She changed her voice and personality upon reformation, Sunset didn't.
Bree - 7 years ago
@Hawk: No, it's not. And it's true. And she didn't turn 180, she realized her mistakes. Starlight Glimmer did too and I know that, but she had a bad excuse behind it. Sunset wanted attention, loneliness makes someone want that. Starlight lost ONE friend she technically didn't lose, since she had an actual excuse of a backstory it shouldn't be a poor one. I lost several friends who deceived me. Two friends moved away, but those you can write to. I didn't turn into a nuthead starting a cult and nearly destroyed the world, there should be a lot more behind it than that if they're going to have a backstory. People has friends move away all the time, people lost friends too. But if Starlight was realistic our world would be over because people generally become withdrawn and keep to themselves when that happens
Hawk - 7 years ago
@Bree
Also, Sunset is more realistic than Starlight? I like Sunset, but turning 180 just because being hit with Rainbow Beam is anything but realistic.

Hi kettle how are you doing? Black as ever I see.
1) Yeah because pulling shit out of your ass is something we should all just accepted blindly without questioning. Yeah fuck that. Starlight was given a power boost because they wanted to make her their super special snowflake of a unicorn when that was never established before prior to The Cutie Re-Mark.
2) Yes let's just all instantly forgive the mare that tried to rip space-time apart because her friend moved away when she was 5 cause that in no way shows she is clearly mentally unbalanced. Oh she feels really sorry? Well tell that to Sunset or Luna or Discord, you know a characters that had to suffer the CONSEQUENCES of their actions instead of having nearly everything handed to them on a silver platter.
Oh you mean the personality that only had two mood, Insane sociopath and self pity partyer? Yeah really great character there. Maybe there will be a third reaction. She's a shit character that's underdeveloped with her being a pale imitation of Season 1 Twilight with a little Luna/Sunset thrown in. And I love how you pretty much just admit at the end she's a Mary Sue.
Steve - 7 years ago
@Bree
I don't mind you hating Starlight, i'm just laughing at you for coming here to cry ;)
- people should judge a character based on her performance in the show, not based on their opinions on her fans... thats just pathetic.
- You didnt get even 1 thing right about Starlight in all of your message, so no wonder you dislike her.
the thing i laughed at the most is how "Starlight is completely different than before".
Once again, only if you put Sunset in here it would be a correct sentence.
Bree - 7 years ago
@Steve- Not a Sunset Shimmer fan and I gave up on the EG movies because they're unrealistic too. But Sunset Shimmer didn't have a bad excuse, despite having problems with her the character was one of the few realistic things EG actually had and she doesn't have as many fans who shoves her down people's throats. The reason I'm not her fan is because I don't like overfocus on an entirely new character unless ALL characters changed, just like Starlight overfocus ruined her a bit. But even so, sometimes even just wanting attention is a better excuse than losing one friend. Starlight's reformation also made her into a different character, she feels nothing like she was at first. All other reformed characters I've seen keeps their general personality afterwards, they just get nicer. Starlight's personality changed and her voice got pitched. What I don't get is that people always dislike character who becomes OOC or OP, then Starlight comes along and become so popular. It doesn't make sense, it's like the majority in this fandom just want to see ponies whether the direction is good or bad. And by shoving Starlight down my throat only makes me hate her more, whatever you say you can't get me to like her and you only makes it worse. It's like you WANT me to hate her more. Starlight fans claim unfair things for other characters, but can't handle Starlight being hated. That's hypocrisy.
Me crying? Look at you, can't even handle people hating Starlight. Grow a spine. If you can't handle a character you like being hated, why do I have to handle all of mine being hated? If I can handle that you should too. People told me to live with all my characters being underrated, that's getting hard now with people like you being unfair.
Steve - 7 years ago

I don't get the Starlight love. She is too unrealistic and her personality is boring, so cliche. She's the most overrated character I've ever seen, especially with how her fanbase 'defend' her.

u are retarded as fuck... i guess its the Dunning–Kruger effect in play once again.
DONT try to give your opinion about a character u simply dont understand cause it makes your opinion worthless.... leave it to ppl that can relate to her and thus understand her better than you.
I can summorize your entire rant as:
1) she is too talented with magic, and since i have inferiority complex ill hate her for her talent.
talent & hard work doesnt justify impressive abilities, but somehow talent alone is fine when talking about another character (like someone that performed a sonic rainboom as a filly)... hypocrisy much?
2) they forgave her too easily, so im going to hate her cause its her fault, #fucklogic
im also going to ignore why she deserves forgivness and ignore other villians that were forgiven easily for worse things, only cause im biased and stupid hypocrite.
I also like how there is not a SINGLE complaint about her personality, because her personality is perfect - she is complex and unique, and thats just one of the many reasons that ppl love her.

Where is the storyline drama? Where are the Mane 6 going to continue after the Castle and the chest? What lies to them next? WHY DID WE LIVE A WHOLE SEASON WITH JUST A PONY THAT LIVED IN THE SHOW FOR ONLY 2 SEASONS???!!!!

SFO - 7 years ago
@Hawk
Like tenco1 said, she just is given all this shit because reasons. No she didn't HAVE to be more powerful than Twilight for the episode to work, she just was because they need to make her a super special snowflake. Her relationship with Luna is no more than "Hey bronies, Luna like Starlight so you should love her too" shilling on the most basic level. And Trixie isn't much better either.
tenco1 - 7 years ago
@Swash
That just makes is sound like the writers had to come up with some reason for why the plot could work at all but couldn't come up with anything believable.And she wasn't forgiven because she's super great, you said it yourself, it's because she's Starlight, and we were told this was supposed to be a redemption story, so you have to have the characters forgive her and give her a second chance for the episodes to work.
Swash - 7 years ago
@SFO You're an idiot. She wasn't forgiven or given tons of power and opportunities "because she's awesome." It was [very obviously] a redemption story. She HAD to be more powerful than Twilight because otherwise she wouldn't have been dangerous. Her friendships with Luna and Trixie are mutually beneficial in when you look at their histories and Trixie's personality. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. A big, stupid mountain that bears very little resemblance to the molehill it once was.
Zidders Roofurry - 7 years ago
Spike. Starlight's many opportunities were wasted while Spike despite not having as much plot time managed to show just how much he's matured as a character. IMO this should have been his season not Starlight's.
SFO - 7 years ago
@Hawk
Yeah I know OC mean original character, but she's a crappy fan OC. Look at her. She's just as powerful as an alicorn, can rewrite the most powerful unicorn of the past millennium's spells, has the ability to fly just cause, has a "Deep and tragic" backstory (which is overly simplistic and moronic), is made Twilight's student because of how "awesome" she is, is instantly forgiven by everyone, is able to use her backstory to save the Crystal Empire, is friends with fan favorite characters like Trixie, Luna and Discord because reasons, does down right evil actions but is all instantly forgiven again because she's "Just doesn't understand" basically signifying that rather than treat her like a normal character they're just going to shill her, and then has Queen Chrysalis as her mortal enemy, gets to save the Mane 6 and Royals because they were all captured and useless and gets to be the instrument to redeem the entire Changeling race. Fuck if I made a character like that, all of the fandom would be over my ass for creating a shitty OC, which is what Starlight is.
Hawk - 7 years ago
@SFO
Dude, stop. What did I say to trigger you to the point where you replied angrily to me twice? It's just a show.
And "OC" doesn't mean "a character that you don't like"! OC stands for "Original Character". All the characters in the show are OC's. Stop using that meaningless and dead argument.

Because they are the mane Fucking Characters that's why! These are the characters I like and what to see grow and continue to evolve. Not stagnate and get shoved aside because the writers want to push their shitty OC

Definitely Spike. My favorite MLP character is Starlight, but I prefered her in season 5. She didn't develop in season 6 as much as she could and I didn't find most of her episodes as interesting as I expected. Spike, in the other hoof, had finally good episodes with good development. So yeah, I vote for Spike.

Kelly - 7 years ago
@Smithers: It's just a typo, it means nothing. That said, if what you say is right then all the characters on the poll should be just as hated as they make mistakes too. Hating her for that is just unfair. And the problem isn't just season 6, it happens all the time in polls like this. Your comment doesn't even justify anything.
@Kelly: Applejack's so underrated she's not even in the poll! But seriously, this isn't about hating anypony, it's about their performance in S6. Would you say she performed well by stealing AB's spotlight in the Apple Wood Derby? Or lying her way to the hospital over the cider deal?
Had to look back through the list of episodes to remember what was in it, but my vote goes to... Spike. Huh, wasn't expecting that. He done good in both Gauntlet of Fire and The Times They Are A Changeling. Minus a point for when he denied Thorax and broke his little changeling heart, but at least he realised he was wrong and rectified it quickly.
Starlight comes second for her parts in No Second Prances and To Where and Back Again. Although the less said about Every Little Thing She Does the better.
Rainbow Dash is usually my favourite pony, but she bucked up a lot this season; 28 Pranks Later, The Cart Before the Ponies, Newbie Dash. Points back for Buckball Season and the end of Dungeons & Discords though.
And Appleack? Is this someone's joke about Aloe's accent?

I hate starlight, but she's winning because non of the other characters were given anything great to do this season, so it makes sense that people would remember her more.
novalisk - 7 years ago
Huh, strange how people view this poll. For example Rainbow Dash being pretty high on how she performed, despite on various occasions her character has been reducted to her first season self, while Pinkie being dead last despite her development has been consistently showing, and only being kinda OOC in PPOV.
Though as everything, this is also subjective, I'm going to vote for Pinkie.
If it wasn't for my love for the ponies, I'd say Spike, as he clearly outperformed all of his previous season appearances or episodes in both of his S6 episodes.
Starlight definitely got a lot of important roles, but I'm hesitant on voting her, since this was "her season" to begin with, so it's a bit unfair.

WHY DID WE LIVE A WHOLE SEASON WITH JUST A PONY THAT LIVED IN THE SHOW FOR ONLY 2 SEASONS???!!!!
S6 was tooo casual for me. Friggin' sandbox.
Applejack. So underrated it hurts.
@Hawk
Like tenco1 said, she just is given all this shit because reasons. No she didn't HAVE to be more powerful than Twilight for the episode to work, she just was because they need to make her a super special snowflake. Her relationship with Luna is no more than "Hey bronies, Luna like Starlight so you should love her too" shilling on the most basic level. And Trixie isn't much better either.
@Swash
That just makes is sound like the writers had to come up with some reason for why the plot could work at all but couldn't come up with anything believable.And she wasn't forgiven because she's super great, you said it yourself, it's because she's Starlight, and we were told this was supposed to be a redemption story, so you have to have the characters forgive her and give her a second chance for the episodes to work.
@SFO You're an idiot. She wasn't forgiven or given tons of power and opportunities "because she's awesome." It was [very obviously] a redemption story. She HAD to be more powerful than Twilight because otherwise she wouldn't have been dangerous. Her friendships with Luna and Trixie are mutually beneficial in when you look at their histories and Trixie's personality. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. A big, stupid mountain that bears very little resemblance to the molehill it once was.
Spike. Starlight's many opportunities were wasted while Spike despite not having as much plot time managed to show just how much he's matured as a character. IMO this should have been his season not Starlight's.
@Hawk
Yeah I know OC mean original character, but she's a crappy fan OC. Look at her. She's just as powerful as an alicorn, can rewrite the most powerful unicorn of the past millennium's spells, has the ability to fly just cause, has a "Deep and tragic" backstory (which is overly simplistic and moronic), is made Twilight's student because of how "awesome" she is, is instantly forgiven by everyone, is able to use her backstory to save the Crystal Empire, is friends with fan favorite characters like Trixie, Luna and Discord because reasons, does down right evil actions but is all instantly forgiven again because she's "Just doesn't understand" basically signifying that rather than treat her like a normal character they're just going to shill her, and then has Queen Chrysalis as her mortal enemy, gets to save the Mane 6 and Royals because they were all captured and useless and gets to be the instrument to redeem the entire Changeling race. Fuck if I made a character like that, all of the fandom would be over my ass for creating a shitty OC, which is what Starlight is.
@SFO
Dude, stop. What did I say to trigger you to the point where you replied angrily to me twice? It's just a show.
And "OC" doesn't mean "a character that you don't like"! OC stands for "Original Character". All the characters in the show are OC's. Stop using that meaningless and dead argument.
@Hawk
Because they are the mane Fucking Characters that's why! These are the characters I like and what to see grow and continue to evolve. Not stagnate and get shoved aside because the writers want to push their shitty OC
Definitely Spike. My favorite MLP character is Starlight, but I prefered her in season 5. She didn't develop in season 6 as much as she could and I didn't find most of her episodes as interesting as I expected. Spike, in the other hoof, had finally good episodes with good development. So yeah, I vote for Spike.
@SFO
Sheesh, what's wrong with taking a break from them once in a while? Are you sure you guys aren't being too picky?
@Hawk
Yeah I like how the Mane 6 did jack all this season as well. I mean who cares about furthering the Mane 6 when we can shove them into a corner all so Haber's OC can shine.
@Smithers: It's just a typo, it means nothing. That said, if what you say is right then all the characters on the poll should be just as hated as they make mistakes too. Hating her for that is just unfair. And the problem isn't just season 6, it happens all the time in polls like this. Your comment doesn't even justify anything.
@Kelly: Applejack's so underrated she's not even in the poll! But seriously, this isn't about hating anypony, it's about their performance in S6. Would you say she performed well by stealing AB's spotlight in the Apple Wood Derby? Or lying her way to the hospital over the cider deal?
Had to look back through the list of episodes to remember what was in it, but my vote goes to... Spike. Huh, wasn't expecting that. He done good in both Gauntlet of Fire and The Times They Are A Changeling. Minus a point for when he denied Thorax and broke his little changeling heart, but at least he realised he was wrong and rectified it quickly.
Starlight comes second for her parts in No Second Prances and To Where and Back Again. Although the less said about Every Little Thing She Does the better.
Rainbow Dash is usually my favourite pony, but she bucked up a lot this season; 28 Pranks Later, The Cart Before the Ponies, Newbie Dash. Points back for Buckball Season and the end of Dungeons & Discords though.
And Appleack? Is this someone's joke about Aloe's accent?
It's kinda sad how everyone seems to be VERY savage about this poll's results. Suck it, Glimmer haters! XD
This is just another proof how Applejack is painfully underrated. I hate polls like this, why do you love hurting Applejack fans so much? You're evil.
I can't even remember any of this past season's episodes without looking them up. Trying to decide who performed best would take too much effort looking up all that shit. So I'm voting Derpy.
....What?
Seriously, WHAT!?
Somebody explain how the everloving dickens Spike is outranking the mane six. Something is broken here.
Starlight Glimmer I refuse to class as a main character. She has not earned that privilege yet. Ridiculous
I hate starlight, but she's winning because non of the other characters were given anything great to do this season, so it makes sense that people would remember her more.
Huh, strange how people view this poll. For example Rainbow Dash being pretty high on how she performed, despite on various occasions her character has been reducted to her first season self, while Pinkie being dead last despite her development has been consistently showing, and only being kinda OOC in PPOV.
Though as everything, this is also subjective, I'm going to vote for Pinkie.
If it wasn't for my love for the ponies, I'd say Spike, as he clearly outperformed all of his previous season appearances or episodes in both of his S6 episodes.
Starlight definitely got a lot of important roles, but I'm hesitant on voting her, since this was "her season" to begin with, so it's a bit unfair.
Appleack is best pony, not to be confused with Applejack
Definitely giving my vote to Starlight Glimmer! :D
Rainbow Dash 2nd tho.
Starlight isn't my favorite either, but she's the only one in this list who I remember doing the most in the season. So it makes sense.
Pathetic how this fandom has fallen
I love Starlight, but she isb't a main character yet. But I liked Fluttershy attitude improvement. Vote for her.
wow so many satly people here
I would have voted for Trixie tbh
Starlight ruined the show, she's so incredibly overrated. And this is proof.
Why the heck is Starlight Glimmer in first place? She didn't get much development apart from "No Second Prances" and the season finale. And there was also that relapse in "Every Little Thing She Does". Not to disrespect anyone who does like Starlight Glimmer, but I just don't entirely see why. I mean, I want to like her, but so far, I don't have much reason to do so.
Oh fuck off Glimmer. Spike was so the better character. He didn't need to constantly reduced othet characters around him just so the writers could shill their oc. Seriously fuck this.
Can't fight the GLIM GLAMMM
The results please me so far :) Go on, Glim Glam! Though, I liked all of the characters in S6.
