Fluttershy was mis used in Season 2 She definitely had the spotlight taken off her. When I think of Season 1 the least prominent character in my mind is AJ (which is weird cos I'm sure she appears in like nearly every episode). And Season 2 it was definitely Fluttershy. So who gets put to the side in S3? |

I just hope that if Fluttershy gets more episodes in S3, she's more like she is in Green Isn't Your Color than every other episode she's been the focus of. When she turns into Cowardshy I can't stand her. I even like Rainbow Douche more. Of course, Dash is my favorite of the mains while Fluttershy is my least favorite, but that doesn't mean I really care for when she becomes douchey.

Just now wrote these as pony Mortal Kombat endings - plan to write more later. {Spoiler}Celestia: The clash between the forces of Outworld and Equestria could only truly end when one of the world's leaders defeating the other; this end came only in the most decisive manner possible, as Princess Celestia defeated Shao Kahn before the stunned eyes of his own army. True to form, however, Celestia refused to slay the emperor, instead leaving him beaten and begging to be finished before his quickly disillusioned followers.
Celestia's hold to her principals served only to divide the forces out of Outworld. Some, such as the centaurs and Reptile, took this to mean that Celestia's capacity for leadership exceeded that of Shao Kahn and the emperor did not deserve their respect, but for the warrior Shokan and the savage Tarkata, they took this as a sign of ultimate disrespect from Celestia, and considered the emperor's pleading for death to be proof of his honor. Once Shao Kahn recovered he gave the order for his men to retreat from Equestria, but unbeknownst to Celestia, her mercy only served to plunge Outworld into a brutal civil war.
Luna: Princess Luna's defeat of Shao Kahn did not come without a heavy price. In order to overcome the emperor's immense power, Luna was forced to embrace the powers of Nightmare Moon once more. Success came to her in doing so, but against her sister Celestia's orders to the Equestrian forces, Nightmare Moon murdered Shao Kahn on the battlefield.
After Nightmare Moon was dispelled, Celestia confronted her sister over this act. However, with the last of his strength Shao Kahn had latched itself onto Luna and once more summoned forth her nightmarish alter-ego. In desperation, Celestia was once more forced to banish her sister to the moon above, but she knows now that it is only a matter of time before a new creature - one born of both Shao Kahn and Nightmare Moon - comes to fully and definitively claim control over Equestria.
Twilight Sparkle: Twilight Sparkle was as surprised as anyone at the moment when she delivered her finishing blow against Shao Kahn. The unicorn did not believe herself capable of performing at such a level in spite of her past successes, but one fellow force on the battlefield did - none other than her mentor, Princess Celestia.
Celestia explained that she had for years believed Twilight capable of going above and beyond the levels of even herself and her sister, performing greater feats than she had even in her defeats of Nightmare Moon and Discord. In the days that followed as she allowed her destiny to fully sink in, Twilight began to feel herself changing and growing stronger; in Shao Kahn's defeat, her already great power had grown exponentially. As Twilight Sparkle shifted fully into an alicorn, she found herself declared to no longer be Celestia's student, but her equal.
Chrysalis: Princess Chrysalis knew that with Shao Kahn's presence in Equestria, there were no positive feelings for her to feed upon and no happiness for her and her Changelings to draw their energy from. With her health and her power draining from her, the desperate princess formed a plan.
Crysalis appeared before Princess Celestia, offering her allegiance as she offered the one chance to defeat Shao Kahn. While reluctant, Celestia agreed to have her guard lure out and offer themselves to Shao Kahn's bodyguard, Kintaro. With this in place, Chrysalis took the Shokan's form, and slipped herself in with Kahn's army once convenient; upon catching the emperor alone, Chrysalis reverted back to her own form only once she had poisoned the emperor.
As she watched the life drain from Kahn in short order, she explained to him her intentions - with his death, she would be a hero to the ponies of Equestria, and her Changelings would use this power to enslave the land for themselves. Once Shao Kahn's death had fully come to pass, the Changeling decided that her upcoming position would require a new crown - the emperor's helmet would do nicely. |

Yeah, sort of came to the realization that Green Isn't Your Color and Putting Your Hoof Down are the only episodes centered on her I actually like. She's better in a supporting role, it seems like. |

Honestly, the fact that it took so long for a Fluttershy episode to appear makes me wonder if the writers are struggling to do anything else with her character aside from facing a mortal fear or becoming more assertive.
Of course, I could be wrong and one of the first 5 episodes is a Fluttershy episode that puts her in a position where she can excel. But if I see anything as overdone as Dragonshy again, she's probably going to be stuck in that #6 slot for quite a long time.

Well, technically we did see an episode where Flutters excelled:
"May The Best Pet Win".
She excelled on finding a pet for Rainbow Dash.

In fact, I actually quite like her character when she's in the background. You get some really amusing gags, like when she tames Cerberus out of nowhere, or when she timidly escapes her cottage in Dragon Quest. |

My favorite background Fluttershy moment is her wrestling the bear in Lesson Zero. I'm starting to agree that Fluttershy works best as a supporting character as she just doesn't have the personality to really carry an episode by herself. |
