Post of the Day #431

@Applelight: I thought you would like that, even if it wasn't Pinkie being fattened. I could even think of where it might be canon, at least the "Pinkie and Rarity traveling through a forest together" part, they could have had to go through a forest on their way back to Ponyville at the end of The Last Round-Up.

Beards? Beards.

Beards.

@ Rainbow

It sure could. Also, it could be possible for them to encounter a ginger bread house...which Pinkie could promptly eat in a few moments.

Congrats Flash Sentry, you're the new Nick!

I thought that so far, although Flash is a nice guy, he's also a bit of a douche.

Oh? How so? I wasn't getting much in the way of douche vibes from him.

Yeah for all his faults, I don't get "douche". that would require actually having some character beyond "Nice guy who play guitar"

Maybe that's the wrong word. I'm not sure how to explain it. He's good looking, nice, plays the guitar...he's a bit...what's the phrase I'm looking for?

Now if it was me, I would make Twilight's future very special somepony a roguish type. Han Solo to her Princess Leia.

Costume swapped for Nightmare Night?

I'd go for a Flynn Rider type, myself. Han Solo was a dick. A well-intentioned dick, but still a dick.

Plain, perhaps?

I do understand the idea of someone being almost 'too nice', yeah. I dunno. I'll certainly agree that Flash's presence was unnecessary, but... I dunno. I don't want to think of him as flat because I recognize he could be interesting, and it's kind of a shame he probably won't be coming back for that. For all intents and purposes, he will forever remain Dreamy Cutebottom.

Flash Sentry is a perennial favourite on the Gentlestallions of Her Majesty's Guard Calendar(It's for charity).

Bishōnen?...nah. that would need Dude Looks Like a Lady here.

It'd be funny to cast Flash Sentry as a nice but dim guy whose sole function is to act as the distressed dude and the wierdness magnet.

@ keg

Oh yeah, he'd be a better example. Him or Fancy Free...did I say that out loud?

@ Kegi, well ANY character can be said that they could be interesting. But Flash wasn't.

Maybe that's the wrong word. I'm not sure how to explain it. He's good looking, nice, plays the guitar...he's a bit...what's the phrase I'm looking for?

Flat? He's good looking, nice, plays the guitar and...that's all we know about him.

He could be a stoner.

Yes...flat. That's it.

Make him a rogue, make him a nerd, but just make him something!

I suppose, but I mean that in that I saw a significant amount of potential if he'd played a heavier role, there. Similar to how Sombra was only really interesting as a villain in retrospect, once you started to realize how much he'd done behind the scenes. In terms of what he does on=screen he's not impressive, but taking into account his plans, he was obviously a brilliant guy. I saw some of that in Flash - he was clearly one of the few people in the school who had the rocks to stand up to Sunset Shimmer, and that alone is enough to make me think that he'd be a pretty interesting guy with some focus - to say nothing of the fact that he seemed to be able to spot a doctored photo at a distance and know where to look to find the evidence.

Or he simply new it was fake because he new Twi didn't do it, and knew enough about Sunset to know where to look.

helped by her just being idiotic about it.

That's his talent: Spotting Doctored photos. Now we just have to relate it to his name... Camera flashes! Yeah, let's go with that.

That was one of the problems I had with the movie. Don't just dump the evidence in the nearest trash can, for cryin' out loud!

Well, even so, that's still kind of impressive. He'd have known Twi for all of a day at that point, so even if he had a suspicion she wouldn't do that he'd still have to know where to look for evidence. Perhaps there was some Back-Alley interrogating of Snips and Snails we didn't see.
