Thanks to her voice, now Derpy kind of reminds me of Ed.

Wasn't that sort of the point? They used her to psychologically torture Applejack because they knew that for how much they loved Pinkie, she was still pretty danged annoying.

It's like Over a Barrel to me, you can't not love it.

Don't start with him on this. He hates that explanation.

#76557 Mio Sat, 21st Jan '12 5:31:21 PM

Doesn't stop her from being annoying to both Applejack and the audience.

@Mousa: Hey, I think it's really good, it just has one or two obvious flaws. I wasn't very fond of it when I watched it the first time, but it grew on me.

Okay, let's not start the whole "But she's supposed to be annoying" thing again. We've gone through it like three times already.

@Mousa Still didn't stop the scene from being annoying

pointing out that something is annoying =/= Suddenly isn't annoying anymore

plus, she was pretty insufferable everywhere else too (except the cake scene)

but we've gone over all this MANY times

Basically, they were aiming for "annoying in show", but it borders on "annoying for real" for some people. Let's just say Your Mileage May Vary and leave it at that.

In other news, I finally started on my review. Will hopefully be done tomorrow, or possibly Monday depending on how much stuff I have to do tomorrow.

So, Mousa. Besides HER. Did you like anything else about the episode?

I admit, she was fairly insufferable, but for some reason that just made her even more funny to me. This immunity I have to her personality type must be stronger than I thought, because I'm way too used to people like Pinkie, most of the underclassmen friends I had that were geeky girls were like her.

I liked the moral of the story, I liked Pinkie's absolute outrage over the Pinkie Swear, Big Mac's crying was a sight to behold, "Rarity Catch me!", and I guess I liked the plot of it overall even if it was a wee bit ridiculous.

I liked Pinkie this episode, I thought her intentionally annoying bit was more humorous than legitimately annoying, but I get the feeling it would be better if I just leave it at that. Sore subject much?

Anyway, I've only popped in a few times today, but it looks like the general opinion of the episode is improving. Is that accurate?

#76564 gingerninja 666 Sat, 21st Jan '12 5:43:57 PM from Aboard The Damocles

I only like insufferable characters if I feel the person they're irritating deserves it.

Even without that, though. The Chimichunga scene literally gave me splitting headaches upon repeated viewings

@Crow Yeah, we needed to think about things a bit more than usual, that was when opinions started improving

So if I've got this right, if you don't really think about it you enjoy the episode, if you think about it to much you don't, but then you think about it more and it becomes enjoyable again?

#76568 Mousa The 14 Sat, 21st Jan '12 5:47:33 PM from Northern Virginia

The cherrychunga thing was so great though! Or was it a Chimicherry. Or a Chimicherrichunga?

Not thinking about it at all. This was my most hated episode of the entire series. PURELY because of Pinkie.

YMMV. YMMV! YMM FUCKING V. Oh god my head still aches

It differs for everyone. I liked it from the beginning and never really had anything dawn on me. Maybe I'm just not thinking about it hard enough...

But this was an Applejack focus episode. Doesn't that give it just a little redemption?

#76572 Crowfall Sat, 21st Jan '12 5:50:37 PM

Damn, that's harsh. I'm tempted to argue with you about this, but it looks like the thread has already been over this extensively.

Speaking of characters that people have been hating lately, how about Rainbow Dash? I thought she was a lot better in this episode than she has been recently.
