It's just I always saw magic as being the defining trait of UNICORNS. I always thought the other races were great for reasons completely unrelated to magic (even if it is passive)

Finding out that they can do magic too kinda undermins their Badass Normality

[up]They are not Badass Normal. Not every show need badass normals.

Also that kind of character can be anoying.

[up] Then AJ really is inferior if she isn't a Badass Normal

How can they be annoying... wait I do hate Batman. Scratch that question

[up][up]They could still be Badass Normal even if they do have passive magic because everypony has passive magic, therefore it's not really a special ability. A pony without it would be considered disabled rather than normal. A pony without any magic is more like a person who doesn't have toes. A pony who's badass without it would be a Handicapped Badass.

[up]Exactly how is AJ inferior?

What IS their passive magic supposed to be anyway?

[up] Ignore me, I've just got a massive AJ bias, and I dislike how she hasn't really gotten that many CMOA's (compared to the rest of the cast)

^^Exactly. If everyone's magic, no one's special for having magic.

Besides, even pegasi have passive magic - the ability to stand on clouds, presumably some flight augmentation, and maybe tactile telekinesis for moving things while flying.

^Earth ponies are supposed to have 'a strong connection with the earth'. People have interpreted that to be everything from a racial green thumb to standing firm.

[up][up]Something with "affinity for the earth" if I remember Word Of God's stance on the issue.

[up][up][up][up][up]She can kick plot just for kicking apple in someone face. How she is inferior?

(I prefer Batman in stories whit no superpowered characters).

[up] x4 Growing apples.

I imagine that AJ is capable of growing apples anywhere. And they ALWAYS turn out great.

Regarding AJ, It's just that I dislike her distinct lack of CMOA compared to the rest of the cast

I'm probably just missing some though

Only time when I can accept humans with ponies are some serious big crossovers.

The criminal underuse of AJ in this series is nigh on unforgivable. [lol] She is best pony after all (for me at least)

An ep with her and Fluttershy getting stranded somewhere would be great waii

AJ and Big Mac need their own episode.

Something like this. (I know I've linked this comic before, but it's too funny to not bring back again.)

AJ is hardly my favorite character (Twilight is best pony) but I wouldn't mind seeing her get another spotlight episode. Although she's done some pretty impressive stuff. Singlehandedly stopping the stampede at the start of Applebuck Season was pretty awesome.

Is it wrong that I'm really attracted to AJ's voice? And her green eyes? sad
