    If you could get rid of any character in the show, who would it be?

    Snips.

    Snails has proven that he's a much better character as a solo act, and Snip's voice sounds like a small animal being strangled.

    We are entitled to our opinions. I haven't even watched the show since they added her to the credits.

    Thank you. You probably had me avoid saying something I would have regretted.

    Honestly the only reason I hate her is because I feel they ignore Sunset because of her. Why can't Sunset show up in the main show.

    I agree, she is a much more worthy character to have a spotlight given to on the main show. She is worthy of redemption and I can relate to her better.
    (sidebar) Aren't there versions of each character in each world? The pony version of her should come back and her EQG version should take over. They did it with Twilight Sparkle. :twi:

    I think Sunset should stay in the EG world, but it be really nice if she just popped in for a visit. I also think they should do an pair of episodes where the Pinkies trade places. One ep for EG turned pony and then another for Pony turned EG.

    I want to see Sunset make an appearance on the show, to test my hypothesis that an EqG crossover would cause LostSanity's head to literally explode.

    To freaking easy.

    I'm pretty much with Dragonbait here. Me and him/her seem to be the only ones with common sense in regards to this.

    First, personal opinion does not equal common sense, second I want her gone too.

    Um... no.

    I like Spike.

    He's gone up for me due to his FINALLY decent episodes this season.

    I'm still waiting for the moment where he does something badass then I'll really like him.

    I feel that making it open season for every character makes it too easy, since there are plenty of cop outs (i.e. insignificant characters). So, if I had to get rid of any of the mainstay characters...

    ...That'd have to be Applejack. As we've seen, they can't do much from an honesty angle. The farm is rather self-contained, and Applejack doesn't make a habit of being available elsewhere except through convenience. Being an earth pony aside, which rather restricts what can be done with her on her own merits, they didn't imbue her with much in the way of hobbies, skills or interests beyond her life at the farm. And those lack of ideas really show in Applejack's "Day" Off.

    Fluttershy was in competition with Applejack, but she won because you can do more with kindness, even though I think a lot of what attracts people to her is largely superficial, and possibly even an illusion (to an extent, at the very least).

    While a good distance behind those two, Rarity also came to mind because I feel that she was miscast. Instead of generosity, it should have been inspiration. That way there's no confusion or competition with Fluttershy's kindness, and all the inspirational moments she's had so far can finally have an outlet and be something.
