The only scene in the episode I really hated. Pinkie Pie going nuts from no partying is one thing. But For Fluttershy to snap from simple ingoration of a few animal strangers is another. She would of more likely cried and been rather upset. |

An exact quote from FiM wiki
"The garden's animals rushed into the room, traumatized by an insane and enraged Fluttershy who ordered them all to love her" Best line ever. |

I thought Fluttershy's freak out, was AWSOME! It was totally out of character and it couldn't of come at a better time. |
| KitsuneManami #65952 1 year ago |
Well I'm still the kind of girl that wants to believe MLP:FiM should be like the old MLP except better written and brought up to modern standards. Which has be done, up to episode 21. After that, it seem's to be catering too much to fannon.
How would you like it if they suddenly drop EVERYTHING and did EXACTLY what the fandom wants? How coherent would that be? What lessons would be taught? How demeaning will it be? Do you get what I'm saying? |

I loved it she's got some serious fire under all that calm. |

I liked her freakout. However, this may be frightening to the kids, though. |

The difference is in Fluttershy's expectations. Normally if an animal ran away from her she would either apologize profusely or cry, as Kistune said. BUT this was not normal circumstances, this was something she had been building up in her mind for basically the entire run of the show. It was special, and she wanted it to go off without a flaw. As that started to unravel, she began to do what anypony does when they don't get what they want: have a temper tantrum. It's not out of character, it's just that different circumstances give way to different actions. |

Thing is, when someone goes insane, they tend to act out iof character. that's generally the very definition of "snapping" plus, it really isn't so OOC when you look back... She has an egotistical streak in things she thinks she is good at, she is somewhat prone to stressing out over things, and she had the pressure of "now or never" combined with rationalizing to be more assertive like twilight always told her to be. When all of those factors combine together, it only makes sense that she would snap in a seemingly OOC way. |

I guess when faced with animals that are more shy than she is, she couldn't help but fly the other direction. |
| Anonymous #65997 1 year ago |
It wasn't too out of character. Fluttershy seems like she gets angry pretty easily; she's just very good at repressing it. |

kitsune: the entire season was written and animated before the third episode was made... Derpy was onyl re-derped because it was just a small change they could make at the last minute as a nice shout out and nothing more.
This whole episode was written with NO knowledge of the fan following it would have gained by the time it aired. |

^ Term "Catering" can be bidirectional. Them catering to us, or rather us catering to them. As the show went on, fans made art, the art in most cases went unexpectedly cannon to the show. people started to believe they are listening. Made more art like that.
Point? It's messed with our minds. I feel she was out of character even though she probably was in the eyes of the show writers. All the cute Fluttershy art makes her look too innocent. Now there will be a flood of Evilshy art that'll make her resemble "CUPCAKES" Pinkie Pie now. Cute outside, dark inside. Though with the mentioned fanfic, it was pretty much in character. Sadly, it accidentally lined up as pseudo-cannon to the show. |

It's official. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie are skitsofrenic, Spike is an alcoholic, and Trolestia damned her sister to a seasons worth of community service.
Tune in next season when we find out Applejack smokes and Gilda is gay for Rainbow Dash. |

No matter how matter times I watch this scene, it's just too weird seeing her, or hearing her, so... pissed. |

"After that, it seem's to be catering too much to fannon. " don't backpedal. that's not what you meant and you know it. Plus, Faust is the one running the show. she KNOWS how to keep a show from straying too far from it's roots. |

^ Well, if he doesn't want it, I'll volunteer. Being raped by Fluttershy is better than most forms of consensual sex, after all. XD |

If you volunteer it wouldn't be rape. |

kitsune, you made a statement that was just plain wrong then you tried to make it sound like you were saying something else to try to save face. We're not being stupid, you're bing a coward. |
| Anonymous #66894 1 year ago |
Kitsune, the only fanon concession made is Derpy's eyes. The rest is all a wonderful coincidence. The writers actively avoid fan content to avoid possible legal issues. You say that it's these coincidences that convince fans that they're listening. Well, you're wrong. It's not coincidences. It's Lauren Faust replying to questions on DA. It's writers, animators, and composers talking to us on places like PonyChan. We think they're listening because they're talking to us and answering our questions, not because fans and production staff have seemed to hit the same targets here and there. And BTW, Cupcakes is actually as far away from Crazy Pinkie as Ed Gien is from me having a bad day in WoW.
I'm not exactly sure what you want out of this show. If you were to take and bring the writing, animation, and what not to a quality level, you'd pretty much get what we have in Friendship is Magic. |
| Anonymous #66919 1 year ago |
also, it wouldn't hurt your credibility if you stopped pretending you're not human yourself. this isn't a role play forum and you REALLY aren't fooling anybody. the "I'm a kitsune" act makes you sound like a 14 year old girl with an unhealthy anime obsession and an unwillingness to face reality. |

At least with me and Mac, it's all obviously in Jest. You seem to take your "Self roleplay" waaaaay too seriously. |

You know how you guys totally flipped out when you found out that Celestia banished her sister to the moon for about 1000 years in the pilot episode, especially when she was supposed to be nice all the time you guys keep seeing her as a troll. It's not that hard to guess that most of you guys will probably do the same thing to her, except that Fluttershy was more nice way before this episode. |
| Caramel #66942 1 year ago |
...We call celestia a troll because she does TROLLISH Things from time to time, and most of the time its a joke. |
| Anonymous #66976 1 year ago |
Celestia is the nicest troll ever though. She trolls, but she has purpose behind the trolling. failing that she makes everyone feel good after the trolling...
basically she trolls them because she loves them. d'awwwww. |
| Sunset_Sky #67012 1 year ago |
THere we go. Now I have a real name. Anyway. As I said before, all these things are coincidence. We call Celestia a troll, but she's actually much more like a traditional trickster. All the things she's done to 'troll' the ponies have all had some kind of ulterior purpose than saw the ponies become better people afterwards, learning from the events Celestia set into motion. |

@Kitsune
I have no idea what she means by this. Does she think that because pinkie pie's psychotic episode was so popular that this scene was made as some sort of fan appeasement? The entire season was finished before episode 25 was even aired, let alone episode 26. This scene was part of whatever intended "vision" was had for the show. And lets face it, no character quality is as straightforward as you think. Fluttershy generally lacks confidence except in cases of animals. Cases like her assertiveness with the Dragon and Filamena and her talkativeness with Spike than others show she can be MUCH more open and assertive with animals than she is as her regular, shy self. Someone who becomes drastically more open and assertive with animals than with ponies is likely to become infinitely more frustrated by them in the case of their apathy, and we can assume the reaction will be greater than that towards other ponies. It's proportional. But even without any explanation, you shouldn't assume that you "know" a character. The character you know is however much the author chooses to reveal to you at any given time. You made a very broad assumption without allowing for any quirks in the character that makes them so interesting, and even if you aren’t pleased with this development the history of quality that you’ve seen from this show should warrant some faith that the rest of the show will still be something that you would enjoy. Fluttershy won’t be crazy all the time. She was just out of her comfort zone, a necessary step to make for any character. Tl;dr The reaction was fairly consistent with the character. You made to broad of an assumption about how each pony should act, and then overreacted to a relatively reasonable character development. If you liked the show before now, one thing shouldn’t mean that it’s “going in a direction” you don’t like. Tl;dr was Tl;dr Quit being a baby and give the show another chance. |
