Ruined For Ever? Sounds to me trolls are reponsable of this

Top! (I am getting lots of tops lately)

All the complaints I see are about how the episode is much more over the top than usual. Which, yeah it is, and it would get annoying if it was always like that, but come on. They're allowed to alter the tone between episodes. One episode of off the wall silliness doesn't mean the whole show will be like that now.

Are they mad?

Do they not realise how much meme juice you can squeeze from this episode?

Anyone read that Worst Bakers in Equestria Fanfic? The reason I'm asking is because I think I have the bad baking magic thing.

I was preparing to bake an Apple Pie in the name of Applejack and Pinkie Pie and was coring the apples except the cores ran at right angles in the apples. Annoying but no big problem. Then while the pastry was being prepared I noticed something. A maggot was crawling around in the flour. Oh and I cut myself several times while coring and cutting the apples. The only thing that disputes me having Bad Baking Magic is that the pie turned out pretty good, though I imagine Pinkie Pie or Applejack could have done better.

Yeah, I loved his episode and I'd be annoyed if it were like this all the time. The next one will probably be more low key.

Although I'm expecting even more Ruined Forever cries once it turns out that Luna's characterization doesn't match the particular fanon one that they like. Oh well, at least around here everybody's been reasonable.

Were you horribly sleep deprived?

Teeth, your avey makes me chuckle.

@Enlong: Twilight's telekinesis is stronger than AJ, and we've already seen that RD's speed can cause more destruction than AJ can.

She really doesn't have skills that make her stand out in terms of the team's demographic

What AJ needs is a challenge of the 'mind'.

Could be a good 'not as dumb as they look' asoep.

Unfortunately no.

Loved the episode. My stream cut out after Fluttershy twisted the bear's neck and came back when Twilight was on the bench so I thought Fluttershy had actually killed a bear for no reason.

So now Pinkie, Fluttershy and Twilight have incredibly creepy alter egos. Who's next?

They could show off her Determinator nature in a positive light. Maybe she could unflinchingly withstand a ridiculous ammount of punishment in order to save someone?

She could do a Tranquil Fury induced Unflinching Walk. Maybe with some Out of the Inferno for good measure

Aj is the strongest pony without powers. She still needs to have something special beyong being the best with a rope.

Which is kind of apt, considering what glue is made from.

Like I said above, I think they should try for raw Durability with her

It would look awesome

AJ can FARM!

Stronger?

If Twilight is going absolutely all-out, or perhaps using a specialized spell. We've only seen her move anything really big once, and it took a lot of concentration and exhausted her. The end of Applebuck Season didn't have anything to do with the strength of her telekinesis, it was all range and finesse.

As for Rainbow, she needed to build up speed to do what she did there. In Fall-Weather Friends, an almost casual kick from Applejack shattered both ends of that test-your-strength game. So I'm imagining what it would be like if she went full-out on something.

I know you keep saying that she's your favorite, but you almost seem to be fishing for reasons why she's apparently the weakest, up to and including taking sight-gags involving Pinkie literally.

AJ is indestructible?

What would happen if Big Macintosh played with the strength test thing? Actually, an episode where earth ponies in general shine might be a good idea.

Fine, but it still doesn't change the fact that she's been criminally UNDERUSED up until this point, and that every other cast member has had more awesome and day-saving moments than her.

edit: I still refuse to believe that Pinkie RUNNING like she was in Party Of One was supposed to be a joke. (the Offscreen Teleportation, yes, but not when she's onscreen and running)

It was The Cat Came Back, man. It's not supposed to be explicable.

NO! I specifically mentioned that the Offscreen Teleportation was a joke and shouldn't be taken seriously, but when she's onscreen and pegging it at the same speed as RD, I don't think that was a joke

Oh god, I'm sorry. Single Issue Wonk can sometimes hit me bad, man. I jut like AJ so much. I just wanna see her do awesome stuff

Twiligh carried an Ursa minor, and Tom with her magic(with ease). I am not sure of AJ is stronger than twilight's telekinesis

Well, the Offscreen Teleportaion in that part only happens when she's, well, offscreen, which in each case is because Rainbow outstripped her and the camera followed Rainbow instead of Pinkie.

With ease? I dunno. Her horn glowed more than it had in any previous episode when she calmed and then moved the Ursa; those spells clearly took a lot of effort, and it may have been a specific spell rather than raw telekinesis.

For another example, in Winter Wrap-up, she had to use a spell on the plow instead of just pushing it more with her telekinesis.

What about when she's ONSCREEN?

Y'know, that shot of her chasing after Rainbow Dash, and keeping up with her?

edited 15th Oct '11 4:27:11 PM by gingerninja666

As I said, the fact that Rainbow outstrips her, putting her offscreen in the first place, tells me that she can't really keep up with her in a flat run.

She was running after Rainbow onscreen, and Rainbow goes faster than her, putting her offscreen.
