How is it better? Other than it explains a lot more of her capabilities if she's an Earth Pony. I mean her 4th wall shenanigans and such makes her much more insane. |

Whoever that is. |

To be honest, I hated Surprise. As a sad attempt for a OC based off of a Pinkie Pie recolor. Though, this comic has somehow allowed me to look past that...for a precious moment. |

Actually Surprise came first. |

^ Are you high? Suprise is Beta-Pinkie Pie, the pony that'd be in the mane cast with Pinkie Pie's personality in the early planning stages of MLP:FiM. Like how Fluttershy was going to be an Earth Pony, and Rainbow Dash was going to be Firefly. |

@378
Like 446 said, Surprise predated "Friendship is Magic" and was the predecessor to/inspiration for G4 Pinkie Pie. Many of the other ponies had some G1 counterpart that they were partially based on. >>122 |

@378 Yeah, do your research next time... |
| zeyro #437843 10 months ago |
Wasn't it because she wanted to even out the Pegasi/Earth Pony/Unicorn Ratio? Granted, this makes things seem a whole lot more depressing. |

Yes, but the funny thing is that the pony that Fluttershy is based on was an earth pony. If they had kept Pinkie Pie as a pegasus and Fluttershy as an earth pony, that would have kept the balance. But instead, they switched their races. Why? ¯\(°_o)/¯ |

In my head Canon Surprise is Pinkie's grandmother. |
| Glord #437917 10 months ago |
In my head canon Surprise is a distant relative of Pinkie's
or Surprise is an attempt at cloning Pinkie that somehow created a white Pegasus. |

Poor Surpise *gives her a hug*
@anon 875 One of the reasons for the change was to show that not all pegasi are hyper, energetic ponies. There are probably other reasons though. @Zephyrion I agree, though a scene in 'The Ticket Master' seems to imply that Surpise is one of the Wonderbolts. |

The were copyright issues too, I think all of the original characters except for Applejack belonged to a different party by the time FiM came into development.
So to work around this, new characters were made using names Hasbro owned, and making the characters different from the ones they were inspired from |

What have you done, Thiessen?
What have you doooooooone? |

@Drpepperfan1 - I already knew that. I was just expressing how I looked at her. There is no reason to be rude and obnoxious towards others. As a brony you should be ashamed of yourself.
@Everypony else - Yeah it's true, still I had very negative ideas about her all the same. |
| HeartmendSoar #438225 10 months ago |
I know Hasbro lost the rights to all the original characters save Spike and Applejack, but still.
Poor, sad Surprise. :( |

Pinkie is a great character, so stop forcing us to feel bad about this turn of events. |
