>>6445 I used to dislike Candy because she is pink princess to sell for little fucking brats who should've been beaten instead. But then I rewatched the Canterlot Wedding after a two or three years and found that actually she was one of the better handled additions actually, in hindsight. Also, I'm sucker for Greek Mythology and Candy makes the whole debacle seem like the Greek-like pantheon of Alicorns, as a horse Aphrodite. But I still hate Twilicorn.

>>6445 I used to sometimes find Pinkie Pie somewhat annoying. Maybe it was a combination of the voice and the randomness, but she's alright now.

>>6445 What Gilda did to Fluttershy in Boast Busters was irredeemable. But as the show went on so many other beloved characters did shitty things that Gilda didn't seem that bad, and then they gave her an episode where she's a sympathetic character with a difficult life... Hard to hold a grudge after that really.

>>6455 I'm not actually the OP, ignore that name

>>6445 I never hated her, I just was indifferent since I never thought she could be replacement of the Mane6 or the princesses unlike the student six or reformed glimmer were planned. But yeah, she kinda grew on me, and now it's my fav princess. I feel she's too much wasted potential, she deserved better.

>>6467 She is really beautiful.

>>6445 at first i hated flurry heart. but she's an adorable silly little foal and i love her.

I used to hate the CMC because they are annoying fillies what constantly make trouble, but as I watched the show I just sort of shifted to liking them.

I actually used to hate Pinkie Pie and I thought she was the most annoying character possible. Then I found out more about her backstory and mental challenges so I really grew to appreciate her. Also, she's just plain adorable! She also taught me to really appreciate birthdays more. They are special days for people. Oh it's also really great how she always makes people feel welcome and remembers their favorite things. To be honest she's more kind that Fluttershy. Fluttershy is only kind to animals or her crush (Discord). Wow, I had more to say about Pinkie than I thought.

>>8568 New writers and unshackled Confalone done her dirty in the non-canon seasons. A shame. She is all around great mare.

Cadance has nasty farts.

>>7115 I always loved Flurry Heart. She was the Infant Princess of Porn before she even appeared in an episode.

>>6468 She is just G3 Rarity with wings.

>>7120 I am with you on that. I did not like them until the talent show.

>>6445 >Used to hate, but grew to love. Believe it or not, Starlight Glimmer. Used to really hate her as a character, both before and after redemption. Somehow, she grew on me though. Maybe because I started thinking that if I have done something wrong, I'd like a second chance too. Well, please don't bite my head off for liking Starlight. At least it's not like I'm obsessed by it.

>>15767 On my first watchthrough I disliked Twilight Sparkle a little but liked Starlight Glimmer because she is like Twilight but more of a bitch and less of a retard.

>>6445 I used to dislike Coco Pommel, but she's grown on me.

>>17599 Into ponuts, aren't you?

>>17599 She's cute. Too bad there wasn't more of her in the show. Would have been cool to have something like an episodes about differences in opinion on fashion between her and Rarity that gets out of control. It would get resolved and friendship would increase at the end, of course.

>>17601 Not really to be honest. Vag is better. >>17604 One of the things I hate the most about later seasons is that they needlessly introduce new one off characters instead of using preexisting ones that would make sense. Coco could have filled the same role as Sassy Saddles in Canterlot Boutique.

>>17601 I am!

>>17616 >Coco could have filled the same role as Sassy Saddles in Canterlot Boutique. That would have been kino. Coco runs the Manehatten shop and Sassy runs the Canterlot shop. Each specializes in the fashion interests of the local populace.

>>17599 >>17604 I'm still annoyed that they never showed her sticking up for herself to Suri and quitting on screen.

>>17622 Would have been cool to have a separate episode where Suri becomes some sort of fashion villian and Coco has to put a stop to her villiany in Manehattan.

>>18491 I was half expecting Suri to show up as an antagonist in Made in Manehattan to try and sabotage Coco's play. Her whole "everypony for themselves" mindset would have contrasted nicely with the episodes theme of community. It would have been nice to see Coco confront her without being so meek.

>>7120 >>9120 Agreed. I thought they were going to be annoying kid characters when they were first introduced, just there to crack one liners and irritate the mane 6. And in S1, with episodes like Stare Master, they kind of are that. But later episodes like Cutie Mark Chronicles and Sisterhooves Social introduced more aspects to Sweetie and Scootaloo's character other than "We're also blankflanks that want cutie marks!" Like the other Anon said, they are a funny trio, and they would have a following in the fandom even if that was all there was to them. But I think the thing that makes them great is that they're like a more streamlined version of the M6. Any similarities made to their big sisters would be obvious, but they actually share traits with all of them. Don't overlook how excitable Sweetie Belle gets sometimes, or her love of breaking out into song, two things we often attribute to Pinkie Pie. Apple Bloom and Twilight are both curious and natural leaders. And like Fluttershy, Scootaloo is a bad flier, and has serious self-esteem issues. They could easily lead their own show. Why not? The Powerpuff Girls are still popular.

>>15767 Nothing wrong with liking best pony. >>15772 I disliked Twilight at first but came around after she took Starlight under her wing. I found her mentor mommy relationship with Glimmy adorable as hell and it was basically the first time she took the reigns without needing Celestia's guidance, she finally made her own decisions for once highlighting just how far she's come as a princess. It was suddenly like she had agency and desires of her own. I still wish unicorn Twilight was handled differently.

I used to hate Twist. I didn't like her colors that much and I thought her voice was annoying. Also hating Twist was kind of a meme. She's not that bad though. There are ponies with worse color schemes and voices now. She's interesting because you can make stories about her and Apple Bloom that don't have to follow anything in the show, since the show forgot she exists. I didn't like Bon Bon either. Her coat reminded me of skin color or aging wallpaper and she was just Lyra's uglier grumpy friend. Now I appreciate grumpy ponies more because they're funny. There was sort of a thing for a while early on where people would make OCs with human skin/hair colors and that was annoying. Thinking of a pony being covered in skin instead of a coat is gross, like a hairless cat.

I don't waifu Dash, but she's still one of my favorites out of the Mane 6. I remember I was really annoyed by her character at first, though. I don't think I started enjoying her until Read It and Weep.

>>17616 >Coco could have filled the same role as Sassy Saddles in Canterlot Boutique. No, Sassy is confident and Coco isn't. Coco would not have been able to boss around Rarity as if she is the boss and thus the conflict would not have occured

>>6445 I can't think of a single character my opinion has changed of.

>>17616 >One of the things I hate the most about later seasons is that they needlessly introduce new one off characters instead of using preexisting ones that would make sense One of the biggest issues plaguing all forms of media.
