Yeah, thanks Koda and RC89 for expressing the feelings that I just didn't have the heart to say. Sorry RD fans. To tell the truth, I only speak my mind on Rainbow Dash online, where I am safe from the danger of being punched out by a Dash fan. I don't have the balls to say the things I said to the face of a diehard member of the Cult of Dash. I learned my lesson after bad mouthing Renji from Bleach in front of a Renji fangirl. Never speak ill of someone's favorite character to their face.

And RD fans of the board, please note that when I say "cult", I mean the fans that say that Dash is the god of MLP and if you like any other pony, you have no taste.
I know none of you are like that.

Yeah, I like AJ, but I'd put her at my 6th favorite out of the main cast- not because of any flaws in her personality, but because she's usually the least outrageous. She'd pretty much be the Daniel Bryan of FiM.
Actually, I take my earlier statement back. Colorful look, heavily marketed, athletic, die-hard fanbase, and a complete and utter douche to everyone around them without provocation? Rainbow Dash is CM Punk.

This too. I'm not including any Dash fans here, and just being a Dash fan doesn't put you into my crosshairs of hate.

She is the Punk of FiM. I didn't say that at first because I actually LIKE Punk(I'm indifferent to Cena).

So I take it she's the Cena of the FiM fandom? I'd say she's my third favorite of the primary cast behind Rarity and Pinkie, but then again I'm partial to arrogant characters that often fall on their faces (re: Peggy Hill). Plus she's adorable. She's sorta analogous to Cena ~ Divisive ~ Has some weird Mary Sue-Ness at times ~ Lots of different colored merch Like I've said, Design wise, she's about in the middle for me (Behind Twilight and Rarity), but the fact that she's seen as the face of the series and consistantly written in the manner that she is is a bit uposetting. I think the worst thing is that there are moments when she's been made to look vulnerable in the past and the writing staff's ability to NOT write characters this poorly over the show's run thus far. Hell, this is nominally a show for grade schoolers designed first and foremost "To Sell Toys. The writing is what drew most of us in and makes most of us stay.....it's the fact that SO much is done so well, and yet one of the main characters comes off as just as flat and static as Dash does (Though once again I will put some of the blame on Episode order) rings a bit ...off really.

Rainbow Dash is my #1 pony for a variety of reasons. Yes, she's got a load of flaws, but really, it's the flaws of the ponies that make the show compelling and hers are no different. Now, what I will argue is this idea that she does not learn her lesson. She has always done the right thing in the end. If that weren't the case, she'd have the falcon as her pet and she would have used Spike's pre written note to the Princess. Her design is also the best of the bunch, and that's why she's on all the promo materials. She may do the right thing in the end, but two things: 1) The moral of her episodes seem to always be the same damn thing. 2) She usually only does the right thing after the rest of the Mane 6 get on her case. If they didn't speak up against her bullcrap, she'd probably still do it. And that's why Find a Pet and Mare Do Well are not in my list of great episodes. It's a shame too, because I really enjoy her Rainbow Douche persona. (man, you guys would handicap me by posting her as a topic while I'm at work )

Yeah, I'm kind of tempted to say Twilight is the Cena of MLP.

Oh and to Koda and RC, no offense taken. I actually like that I can have intelligent discussions over a divide character like RD here, without either side being jackasses.

She is honestly my 2nd favorite character. I like her persona and accent so well.
