Um, I don't know. I'm not you. Personally, I laughed.

Prediction for Ginger's response: "Great, so you think they're a laughingstock... -_-"

Exactly. They were made to look pathetic.

You have a very strange definition of pathetic.

I do?

@Colin

It’s complicated, But basically he won’t die unless his tail is separated from his body

@Story

I can't help it. I'm a Time Lord. It's instinct; it's in my guts… I will give it a chance it’s just a game after all.

Well, Ginger's mind works in strange ways...

Ginger you have a VERY narrow range of tolerance between competent/incompetent. Perhaps you need to reconsider what the problem is here?

You think that any failure of any kind makes a character pathetic.

I think it makes them human, honestly (or equine, as the case may be).

@Lurker you need a balance. You can't just show them fail (or do nothing) every time they appear and still expect me to find them credible

#210960 Psi 001 Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:07:37 PM

I can sorta see where he comes from, losses seem more significant without victories to balance them. Truthfully though, the Wonderbolts have always been in the background really so it's not like they've appeared enough to become Butt Monkeys about it.

#210961 Perpetual Lurker Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:08:16 PM

@Ginger Well, when we see them do what they're good at (i.e. performing), they're quite good.

Exactly. Yeah, they haven't exactly won anything, but they're just barely above background pony level in focus. You can't really expect much.

Hey everypony. Missed me?

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

@Lurker but not anything that's convinced me that these guys are the best fliers in Equestria

Well, sorry if I happen to LIKE the Wonderbolts (HUM-A-FUH)

#210964 Great God Pan Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:10:53 PM from The Woods. Where else?

Every single instance in which we've seen the Wonderbolts are not, in fact, the Wonderbolts, but their stunt doubles.

Spooky.

#210965 Pannic Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:11:04 PM

So, today I've been playing Thief and it is awesome.

Also watching Serenity. I saw it years ago without being familiar with Firefly, and now that I've actually seen the show I should get more out of the movie.

#210966 Great God Pan Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:11:54 PM from The Woods. Where else?

Which Thief?

@ginger. When in doubt. Write fanfiction.

I assume the Dark Project.

The only flying we've seen better is Rainbow Dash, sometimes. She still crashes way too much.

Hey Orion.

#210970 gingerninja 666 Fri, 1st Jun '12 8:12:22 PM from Aboard The Damocles

I guess that's the one disconnect I've always had with a lot of stories. They expect us to care ONLY about the main characters

That's because Rainbow Dash is the best flier in Equestria.

Btw, Ginger, I started reading a new book today and it made me think of you: the first two chapters were devoted to showing how awesome the villains were. Before the main character had even been introduced.

What? I do like the Wonderbolts. As characters, rather than plot devices or set pieces (which is what you seem to want out of them).

This show is the show for caring about background characters.

You know, "Rainbow Crash" sounds like a called attack.

Maybe that's what we should call whatever she did when she demolished the barn for Applejack.

@Blue (twitch)

Main character being the best. One of my greatest Pet Peeves -_- (You' think I would've gotten used to it by now)
