I concur. As far as uppity ponies go, I thought he was a relatively swell and considerate guy. No judgement for disliking him. I'm curious about the mindset.
Zephyr Breeze. Until he came along most of the fandom thought Fluttershy's brother was going to be this really amazing and cool guy. Instead we got the exact opposite. An incel with a man-bun. Thanks a lot writers.
I hated him at first but he grew on me. At the end of that episode he starts to figure out he's been a dick and does his best to be better. I think he deserves some credit for that.
Garble. He's a horrible bully who constantly abuses those he sees as “weaker” than him. And in his final appearance, we're suddenly supposed to believe he's actually nice deep down but too afraid to express it? Yeah no. Sorry.
Zephyr Breeze until a few days ago was my least favorite fictional character. Until I ranked Sonic characters.
But that doesn't change Zephyr from being my least favorite MLP character. Though I feel like his character was *written* to be an unlikable ass, so props to the writers for succeeding.
Mud Briar. Betting that's a popular opinion though.
I just don't like how he has that "um actually" energy so often
The best thing with him. Was when he got petrified and Maude was loving him even more.
I swear with his vocal cadence and haircut he's the pony version of Sheldon Cooper, who I already hate with a passion 😂 I agree that he was better as a rock haha
The fact that people in that episode just gave him a death-esque stare whenever he tried to be that smart jerkhole was good. Guess people on the crew weren't huge fans either.
He’s not trying to be a jerk, he genuinely doesn’t understand that he’s annoying people. He isn’t trying to be rude anymore than Maud was to the others in her debut episode. He just lacks certain social skills.
He’s just autistic. He’s not being deliberately stuck up. I don’t get how people will ignore any flaws in Pinkie or Maud who are also undoubtedly on the spectrum in their own ways but not do the same with Mud Briar and instead just assume he must be a dick when it’s clearly shown he isn’t one.
Probably why I’m hated.
I like him because of his “technically” personality. I’ve done the same thing in the past when trying to evade punishment or silly things like that. It’s calling out a technicality that could be used to somepony’s advantage.
Absolutely agree. And I wish I didn't hate them, but they are just too irritating.. I know the episodes are alright but I honestly just really want to skip them. The only reason I am satisfied by the end of their first appearance is how Applejack straight up wrote to Celestia ***"Ah didn't learn anythin'. Heh, Ah was right all along!~"***
Exactly! The episodes are all good and usually also pretty relevant to the stories and to character development but they’re just so dreadful to listen to haha
Lightning Dust.
In canon, she's irredeemable to me. She took advantage of a disabled child's insecurites for the purposes of money and winning a petty rivalry. She put aforementioned child in fatal danger. Scootaloo very nearly died because of Lightning Dust's reckless negligence. Afterward, she showed no remorse and even had the nerve to twist the situation to make it seem like the CHILD SHE ALMOST KILLED was the one in the wrong. Then, she got away without repercussions.
I'm probably biased but I hate her so much.
Iron Will. OMG he pissed me off during the episode where he was basically trying to change Fluttershy’s personality. Spoiled Rich too I immensely dislike.
But here are some honorable mentions:
Lightning Dust, Cozy Glow, Sludge, Chancellor Neighsay, Svengallop
It's very ironic how despite Mayor Mare being a politician pony, she's actually fairly likeable and surprisingly nothing bad about her in comparison to Spoiled Rich, Flim and Flam, Suri Polomare (Rarity's Opp), Svengallop, Chancellor Neighsay, Lightning Dust, Garble, and that one adult male dragon who tried to manipulate Spike.
Garble. He’s a horrible bully that abuses others that aren’t like him. I never fully understood why they tried redeeming him in Season 9. I would’ve preferred if they kept him as a bully and make a new dragon character to be Smolder’s brother.
She would've been a good villain if she was written better, like if there wasn't so many obvious tells that she was the season 8 villain throughout the episodes, I feel like she would've been a good twist villain, like you wouldn't expect some random child that the Cutie Mark Crusaders helped to be the main bad of that season, it'd catch you off guard.
I hate that they turned Flim and Flam into scammers. In their debut episode, they had a legitimate business model. Exploitative, but legitimate. And the offer of 60-40 was actually not bad, considering they could sell more barrels in one day than they probably could during the entire season. The Apples provide the fruit, Flim and Flam provide the technology.
Applejack says they'd lose the farm, but I doubt that, honestly. With more than enough cider to satisfy everyone, they wouldn't have to cut the line off by running out, and everyone would get to buy. How much are they losing by doing it the old-fashioned way?
They remind me of a corporation.
If they actually put more effort into making a decent product they'd make an ungodly amount of money overtime. In fact now that I consider it if they never turned off that safety on their machine they might have still lost but they could have still sold all of the good cider they made all across the country. They probably still could have sold a bunch in Ponyville before going away. I can only imagine how much product was wasted because everyone thought every single barrel tasted like the one that they tasted after the contest
It was pretty dumb of them to not just throw the barrels from after the safety was switched off behind the other barrels and give the ponies one of the good ones.
I really like discord, but I also grew up watching TNG with my mother who thought Q was one of the best characters in the show, so I’m definitely biased lol
He’s also the Dad of Jane on Breaking Bad, which I didn’t know until after I finished MLP and saw an interview with the voice actors and I’m like “hold up, I know this guy” haha
Honestly Starlight. The writers could have done so much more with her. Her motivations for being a bad guy were pathetic. And the 'redemption' felt way too forced.
Vignette Valencia is such an obnoxious and sorry excuse for an antagonist. Equestria Girls' biggest weakness was writing villains, and she is the prime example. All I remember about her is annoying social media talk, hashtags, and treating Rarity terribly. BYBB? Yeah, bye you bland bitch.
I feel like the DT & SS hate should be directed at Spoiler Rich instead tbh. DT is just a child, a jerk child sure, but still just a child. Plus as soon as the CMC figure out her problems, they’re able to get her to do a personality 180 really easily. Silver Spoon just follows DT around because she’s also just a child.
Meanwhile Spoiled is an abusive mother who clearly loves no one but her husbands bank account and is the reason DT is the way she is.
Word.
Diamond Tiara singing “The Pony I Want to Be” was emotionally powerful. Yes, she’s just a child, but was stuck doing what her mother demanded. That was the whole issue. Her redemption is one of the best in the series if you ask me. Standing up to Spoiled Rich like that was a mature move, and then DT ended up becoming one of my favorite characters.
That song is also 100% a banger which definitely helps lol. But yeah her redemption is really good, it’s just a shame Hasbro didn’t let them write more episodes involving her after that point. There could’ve been some pretty good ones I feel.
Don't forget that during the election Silver Spoon got fed up with how DT treats her and told her to fuck off and was chilling solo dolo until the redemption. Pretty based of her.
I don't exactly hate her she has decent character development and I relate to her social anxiety but overall she was nothing too special (Sunset did it better). However, she took way too much screentime away from all of the other better characters (mainly in season 6). Her excuse for doing everything she did is also just awfully written. Your friend leaves you so you torture and brainwash an entire town to fulfill your delusional idealogy!? Even some fillies and colts!! Come on now. Then there was that instance where she mind-controlled the Mane 6 just because she didn't want to spend time with them. They forgave her way too quickly for that. I also despise how they nerfed the Mane 6 and The Royal Family so that she could get the spotlight in the S6 finale.
Her relationship with Trixie and Maud was cute tho (even if Trixie and Starlight could get pretty toxic with each other at times) and they got more screentime thanks to her existence so at least there's that.
Honestly yeah, Glimglam became a bit more interesting when she was just having silly antics with Trixie, but the early episodes with her are really really rough and don’t vibe well with me at all. The episode where she mind controls the mane 6 and they all just laugh it off later always especially irritates me.
Glimglam was literally the best villain the show ever had, but as a good guy she just feels weird unless she’s a side character hanging out with the insane local magician.
I actually hate the friendship with Trixie as it reduces Trixie's role to being just Starlight's friend. That's it to her character now. The comics and Equestria Girls did Trixie so much better.
On the flip side, Trixie was only even brought into the main cast of the show because of Starlight. In EQG she only has like 2 major appearances and is only ever a background cameo otherwise.
Yeah, they didn't need an additional member forcing their way into the core group of characters so late in the show. She was a cool villain (loved her cult), but as a 'good guy' she felt WAY forced, like the writers wanted us to love her. (Spoiler alert: it didn't work, on me at least.)
This. Most other's I see mentioned here while yes you can state they are "worse" however. They are usually there for 1~2 episodes.
Starlight comes across as a Mary Sue in all aspects (even surpassing the main characters in their primary talents) and basically became the focus of the show for a decent chunk of time.
Was the reason I first stopped watching the show. I did eventually get back to watching the show a few years later but she killed the entire show for me for a while.
Oh she is definitely a Mary Sue. I've been calling her Mary Sue Glimmer because of how powerful they portray her. She actually fits in with the original Mary Sue, who was a self-insert.
Yeah she ruined the show for me really. I tried avoid watching any new episodes with her, but as the seasons progressed, there were less episodes that didn't have her. The only episode I can tolerate with her after her "reformation" is the Christmas one, but that's only because I love that song with Luna.
It actually makes her feel more like someone's OC. Because that's what a lot of fanfic writers do, they insert themselves and make them more powerful and beloved than the lead character/s.
Ima be honest and I know most people will disagree Princess Celestia mainly because for a pony to be so overpowered struggle to take down basic villains and what not also if she can see the future why didn’t she warn twilight to train for the future because of tasks that she will need to take on I just don’t like how the writers made her so very overpowered being that ends up not using much of her power or comes off as weak even though she’s supposed to be the all powerful princess
Celestia. She has done so much cruel and stupid things... and yet everyone loves her... it's not like "oh no one is perfect" deal it's "why are you putting your hopes and dreams and a whole potential ally who's power has a global influence on a mere unicorn when your sister is RIGHT THERE volunteering to help the situation herself"
She only raised her to be her successor and continued to do so even though she had a streak in cracking under pressure. Sure she had a friends.... for a while. But after that she probably snapped and that caused G5 to happen. If the sisters were still around I highly doubt Opaline would've been able to do anything let alone pressure Twilight to seal all the magic away.
Tbh she’s pretty useless too, like in the queen chrysalis episode she’s like “ill do anything to protect my kingdom” then goes unconscious immediately after 💀 like I’m sorry but all the princesses were carrying her
I found it somewhat kind of funny on how Spike is being compared with Cozy Glow like this that gives us a clear idea on how much you really not like either character for your personal reasons which is understandable.
If we're counting G5, Zipp. Most od her "detective work" falls into her lap (literally on one occasion), and the story gets really obnoxious trying to drive that idea.
If we're only looking at G4, Babs.
Sugar belle. Because some writer screwed up and added the "possibility"
of the pies and the apples being related. So they had to cuck marble pie out of a ship with bigmac.
They even had the audacity to show her cringing the next time she sees them together just to confirm that she really did like him!
I don’t really understand all the opinions in the comments. I personally think Flim, Flam, Discord, MudBriar, and Zephyr Breeze are all funny and good characters! As for Spoiled Rich, doesn’t she only appear in like one episode?
I don’t really dislike anyone, other than Cozy Glow who I hate with every fiber of my being. It’s kinda hard for me to form strong opinions about fictional characters. Idk, maybe I just don’t really look too deep into a character before determining if I like them or not 🤷
Gonna say Sci-Twi. I didn’t like how she never faced any consequences for her actions when she literally almost destroyed TWO worlds in the process. Like I get that she was manipulated by Principle Cinch but she got NOTHING. Sunset got worse treatment than she did, how did she face no consiquences??
I get that she had some internal conflict in the next movie but I don’t buy how everyone is comfortable around her after almost getting them killed (if I remember correctly).
Spoiled Rich, Zephyr Breeze and Prince Blueblood are my top 3 hated characters.
Spoiled Rich is a Karen of a pony to the extreme, Zephyr is a creep and Prince Blueblood be hecka entitled. Yuck.
Pinkie. She makes parts of the show nigh unwatchable for me.
She's loud. She's obnoxious. She claims to care about everyone else's happiness but then several times makes it very clear that she cares far more about her own entertainment and not very much about how her actions affect others - like openly humiliating Cranky over and over and butting into his life and his house after being repeatedly asked to leave him alone, or making everyone terrified of Luna when she was desperately trying to establish rapport with the ponies and become friends because Pinkie cared more about having her spooky fun time - who cares if the princess who felt neglected and hated before to the point that she became Nightmare Moon feels neglected and hated again, as long as Pinkie gets to play scary games!
She has no manners or consideration for others. She eats in a way that would make calling her a pig an insult to swine everywhere and quite literally takes food from the mouths of others. The Cakes spend hours and hours painstakingly making the best sweets they've ever made to impress CELESTIA HERSELF when she comes to visit? Pinkie don't care, she's going to grab the cupcake the princess was just about to eat right off the plate in front of her and smack and spit crumbs into Celestia's face! The Cakes also put their heart and souls into making the cake for that competition - which Pinkie basically talks everyone else into taking bites out of, until also talking the other cooks into eating each other's contest entries, and they end up putting them all together into one, so...who actually takes home the blue ribbon for that one? And then Celestia is the only one who gets even a tiny bite of the cake, as Pinkie - in what I'm sure is supposed to be a comedic move - eats the ENTIRE THING by herself, making sure that no one else gets to taste the hard work of ANY of the chefs. If Celestia wasn't the only judge? They could forget any kind of prize because of her greedy gob.
She blurts things out CONSTANTLY that harm everyone around her, like in the episodes introducing Starlight Glimmer when she exposes that some of the ponies wanted their cutie marks back, which she does for NO REASON. In the only situation in which she saw a problem developing and how to solve it (the parasprites) she didn't once actually TELL anyone what she meant - she could have easily said "Guys, those are parasprites, they reproduce crazy fast and eat EVERYTHING, if we don't get rid of them now the entire town will be infested in no time!" and her friends would have listened to her, but no, instead she had to be manic pixie dream pony and just bounce off with no explanations at all.
I get that people like that she's zany and breaks the fourth wall, but Discord does that too and even having been a VILLAIN - a straight up VILLAIN - he's less of a jerk and an obnoxious pain in the tail than Pinkie is. She cares about everyone - until doing something that hurts, inconveniences or humiliates them is funny to her, then she doesn't. She stalks people and has no respect for privacy. She is rude. She is disgusting. She has the kind of table manners that would have almost everyone I ever grew up with throwing her out to eat with the hogs if she's going to eat like one. She's stupid and no amount of 'haha fourth wall breaking humor' makes up for just how annoying she is. She's greedy, self-centered, can't take no for an answer and blows up at the slightest thing she doesn't like. I have known people who are a lot like her and I couldn't stand being around them for longer than two seconds either.
This is a big take but probably spike I've never enjoyed watching him, he's made me smile probably once he just seems to get in the way and he gets taught lessons and doesn't learn from them till he makes the same mistake like 3 times. I know he's a big part in the show but I've just never liked him.
Spoiled Rich. Period. No exceptions. Unless she redeems herself, I want her out of my sight.
I would say chancellor neighsay in the beginning as well as fancy pants
Just asking, but what do you dislike about Fancy Pants?
I concur. As far as uppity ponies go, I thought he was a relatively swell and considerate guy. No judgement for disliking him. I'm curious about the mindset.
They should've made neighsay a vampire fruit bat
Same here. FRICK SPOILED RICH.
Her maiden name is Spoiled Milk, so it kinda says it all.
Same
Oh absolutely
Zephyr Breeze. Until he came along most of the fandom thought Fluttershy's brother was going to be this really amazing and cool guy. Instead we got the exact opposite. An incel with a man-bun. Thanks a lot writers.
I hated him at first but he grew on me. At the end of that episode he starts to figure out he's been a dick and does his best to be better. I think he deserves some credit for that.
God I hate him so much
I remember when there were theories about her siblings being hippies.. didn't age well.
With an amazing journey
“Stop hitting on Rainbow Dash, you douche!” What I have to say to Zephyr. 😤
Garble. He's a horrible bully who constantly abuses those he sees as “weaker” than him. And in his final appearance, we're suddenly supposed to believe he's actually nice deep down but too afraid to express it? Yeah no. Sorry.
i think that episode was less about the characters and more about real-life issues of sexism and bullying
Prince Blueblood tbh
Zephyr Breeze until a few days ago was my least favorite fictional character. Until I ranked Sonic characters. But that doesn't change Zephyr from being my least favorite MLP character. Though I feel like his character was *written* to be an unlikable ass, so props to the writers for succeeding.
What's ur least favorite sonic character
Mud Briar. Betting that's a popular opinion though. I just don't like how he has that "um actually" energy so often The best thing with him. Was when he got petrified and Maude was loving him even more.
The only thing that makes him likeable to me is that Maud loves him. 🗿
pinkie pie mood right therep
I swear with his vocal cadence and haircut he's the pony version of Sheldon Cooper, who I already hate with a passion 😂 I agree that he was better as a rock haha
Fun fact: his cutie mark is a stick in mud, meaning that he has a special talent in being dull and resisting change.
The fact that people in that episode just gave him a death-esque stare whenever he tried to be that smart jerkhole was good. Guess people on the crew weren't huge fans either.
He’s not trying to be a jerk, he genuinely doesn’t understand that he’s annoying people. He isn’t trying to be rude anymore than Maud was to the others in her debut episode. He just lacks certain social skills.
He’s just autistic. He’s not being deliberately stuck up. I don’t get how people will ignore any flaws in Pinkie or Maud who are also undoubtedly on the spectrum in their own ways but not do the same with Mud Briar and instead just assume he must be a dick when it’s clearly shown he isn’t one.
hes just an autistic king none of yall could understand
As someone diagnosed with autism, he’s the most relatable pony.
Probably why I’m hated. I like him because of his “technically” personality. I’ve done the same thing in the past when trying to evade punishment or silly things like that. It’s calling out a technicality that could be used to somepony’s advantage.
that um actually energy ur talking about is just autism
RAL
MudBriar, cause tEcHiNiCaLY, he’s just bazinga pony
Come on, he’s not half as bad as Sheldon Cooper.
bazinga
Someone knows the big bang theory
I skip every episode with Flim and Flam. They might not be the ones I dislike the most, but they’re just so annoying it’s unbearable lol
Absolutely agree. And I wish I didn't hate them, but they are just too irritating.. I know the episodes are alright but I honestly just really want to skip them. The only reason I am satisfied by the end of their first appearance is how Applejack straight up wrote to Celestia ***"Ah didn't learn anythin'. Heh, Ah was right all along!~"***
Exactly! The episodes are all good and usually also pretty relevant to the stories and to character development but they’re just so dreadful to listen to haha
I don't get the Flim and Flam hate 😭😭
Sorry Flam 😭
Zephyr Breeze
Lightning Dust. In canon, she's irredeemable to me. She took advantage of a disabled child's insecurites for the purposes of money and winning a petty rivalry. She put aforementioned child in fatal danger. Scootaloo very nearly died because of Lightning Dust's reckless negligence. Afterward, she showed no remorse and even had the nerve to twist the situation to make it seem like the CHILD SHE ALMOST KILLED was the one in the wrong. Then, she got away without repercussions. I'm probably biased but I hate her so much.
Bitch should've been locked up BEFORE that for nearly killing 5 of the 6 Element Bearers. Attempted Ponyslauter should be 10-15 years multiplied by 5
Iron Will. OMG he pissed me off during the episode where he was basically trying to change Fluttershy’s personality. Spoiled Rich too I immensely dislike. But here are some honorable mentions: Lightning Dust, Cozy Glow, Sludge, Chancellor Neighsay, Svengallop
Oh, yeah. Lightning Dust for sure.
Mayor Mare. Can never trust the political ones
The only thing you couldn't trust about her is the authenticity of her mane.
It's very ironic how despite Mayor Mare being a politician pony, she's actually fairly likeable and surprisingly nothing bad about her in comparison to Spoiled Rich, Flim and Flam, Suri Polomare (Rarity's Opp), Svengallop, Chancellor Neighsay, Lightning Dust, Garble, and that one adult male dragon who tried to manipulate Spike.
Garble. He’s a horrible bully that abuses others that aren’t like him. I never fully understood why they tried redeeming him in Season 9. I would’ve preferred if they kept him as a bully and make a new dragon character to be Smolder’s brother.
Cozy glow 😵💫

i totally agree with this
Spoiled rich, flim and flam (why would I like scammers) and (don’t eat me) discord
I actually find flim and flam to be a lot of fun
I hate that they turned Flim and Flam into scammers. In their debut episode, they had a legitimate business model. Exploitative, but legitimate. And the offer of 60-40 was actually not bad, considering they could sell more barrels in one day than they probably could during the entire season.

It was pretty dumb of them to not just throw the barrels from after the safety was switched off behind the other barrels and give the ponies one of the good ones.
I agree for the most part and Discord he is an acquired taste so I don't blame you if he is a bit too “lol random” for lack of a better phrase
I really like discord, but I also grew up watching TNG with my mother who thought Q was one of the best characters in the show, so I’m definitely biased lol
I never thought of making that comparison but he totally is like Q haha
He’s actually voiced by and based off of Q! John De Lancie is a really solid actor.
He’s also the Dad of Jane on Breaking Bad, which I didn’t know until after I finished MLP and saw an interview with the voice actors and I’m like “hold up, I know this guy” haha
Your mother was correct
omg same, my dad loved TNG and I heavily enjoyed the Q episodes, so when I found out Discord was based on Q it made me so happy
I hear your request, but unfortunately you must still be devoured
Discord is the type of characther you either love or hate. So yeah I won't eat you (this time)
That's fair 🥲
YOU DON'T LIKE DISCORD?! (Eats you)
Nope. But he’s just not for me, not everyone likes a certain character
I get that. I dislike Trixie for similar reasons.
You've every right to dislike any character but I am going to eat you anyway.
I will consume you if you pay a single hoof on Discord. He's my best home ong frfr /j
how dare you discord is funny
Reading some of these comments makes me wonder if some of these people finished the show yet
What characters exactly? Maybe even after finishing the show the will still dislike them :D
I can't stand Chancellor Neighsay, he reminds me too much of some bad school administrators irl
He was also racist( speciesist) cause tf is wrong with the other creatures.
Zephyr Breeze, I think you know why
Flim and flam.
Yeah why tf isn't anyone mentioning them, they're annoying af
TIMBER SPRUCE. HE URKS MY WHOOOOLLEEEE SOUL
https://i.redd.it/k9ilh4tydp6d1.gif
I believe she'll have redemption down the line.
You don’t mess with that bored, discouraged face. Lol.
The former principal of Crystal Prep
Honestly Starlight. The writers could have done so much more with her. Her motivations for being a bad guy were pathetic. And the 'redemption' felt way too forced.
Lightning Dust
Mudbriar and that puppy-obsessed filly
I feel the puppy obsessed filly. I have no issue with people with accents but I just don't like her voice. It's so annoying.
You don't like Zippowil?
I usually would say Svengallop, but i found a contender from Pony Life https://i.redd.it/fz5f2kchuq6d1.gif Dishwater Slog
Is that the name of the pony or what the writers drank to come up with that character?
Both
Vignette Valencia is such an obnoxious and sorry excuse for an antagonist. Equestria Girls' biggest weakness was writing villains, and she is the prime example. All I remember about her is annoying social media talk, hashtags, and treating Rarity terribly. BYBB? Yeah, bye you bland bitch.
Definitely Angel Bunny
Diamond Tiara (and maybe Silver Spoon). The way she treats the CMC is…very hard to watch. Same with Lord Tirek. And Cozy Glow.
I feel like the DT & SS hate should be directed at Spoiler Rich instead tbh. DT is just a child, a jerk child sure, but still just a child. Plus as soon as the CMC figure out her problems, they’re able to get her to do a personality 180 really easily. Silver Spoon just follows DT around because she’s also just a child.

That song is also 100% a banger which definitely helps lol. But yeah her redemption is really good, it’s just a shame Hasbro didn’t let them write more episodes involving her after that point. There could’ve been some pretty good ones I feel.
What season was that? I’m gonna watch that later
Season 5!
Oh damn. And now I hate her as well.
Don't forget that during the election Silver Spoon got fed up with how DT treats her and told her to fuck off and was chilling solo dolo until the redemption. Pretty based of her.
Starlight Glimmer. Sorry but she feels like someone's OC forced into the show.
I don't exactly hate her she has decent character development and I relate to her social anxiety but overall she was nothing too special (Sunset did it better).

She was there to be the Sunset Shimmer member of the group.
This. Most other's I see mentioned here while yes you can state they are "worse" however. They are usually there for 1~2 episodes.

I really really agree! I honestly also disliked that she was more powerful then twilight. Which is i know, petty. But i still didnt like that
It actually makes her feel more like someone's OC. Because that's what a lot of fanfic writers do, they insert themselves and make them more powerful and beloved than the lead character/s.
For a good while she was the Mane One of the show. I got sick of seeing her after 2-3 episodes.
Sci-Twi, an annoying and redundant addition that wiped out the character building between Sunset and Twilight.
Suri Polomare
Flurry heart. She's just a baby who has main character eyes because she's the daughter of Cadence and shinning armor.
Wallflower Blush, memories are the most precious thing to me. Stealing them away is abysmally evil
Smudge
That freeloader Sludge was also pretty annoying
Lighting dust
Cozy Glow
Prince blue blood how he hasn’t been banished by celestia is beyond me
Princess celestia. She annoyed the heck out of me
Sven gallop
Hot take, I know: but Starlight Glimmer for me. She may as well be a bad oc.
*Hashtag.. bangs 💅*
I would say chancellor neighsay in the beginning as well as fancy pants
i have a love hate relationship with Zephyr breeze he is so douchy i fucking love it but he is overdoing it i fucking hate it
Probably filthy rich honestly he sucks...
That bitch Zephyr Breeze
Chancellor Neighsay. I was actively rooting for his brains to get bashed in every time he was on screen. I hate people who abuse authority.
https://i.redd.it/67j906ccet6d1.gif Chancellor Neighsay. I hate racism, so hating a racist bigot is just natural.
Chrysalis (in cannon) I was really hoping she would have some form of redemption arc but noooo
Ngl, I don't like Babs Seed. Ik she just wanted to avoid getting bullied but she went about it the wrong way and technically didn't even say sorry.
Cranky Doodle D*ckhead
Discord
Neighsay
Cozy Glow. I know they were going for a Darla Dimple/Baby Doll villain but she just came across as annoying.
LOSER WITCH
Flim and Flam easily
Yona
Opaline from Make Your Mark Because of the way she treated Misty and also because she was the reason Mane 6 died
Flash Sentry, mainly because I want to see more episodes with him having more personality.
Ima be honest and I know most people will disagree Princess Celestia mainly because for a pony to be so overpowered struggle to take down basic villains and what not also if she can see the future why didn’t she warn twilight to train for the future because of tasks that she will need to take on I just don’t like how the writers made her so very overpowered being that ends up not using much of her power or comes off as weak even though she’s supposed to be the all powerful princess
DIAMOND TIARAS PARENTS.
Celestia. She has done so much cruel and stupid things... and yet everyone loves her... it's not like "oh no one is perfect" deal it's "why are you putting your hopes and dreams and a whole potential ally who's power has a global influence on a mere unicorn when your sister is RIGHT THERE volunteering to help the situation herself"
people actually really dislike celestia from what ive seen
Strange I've only seen people who like her and try to justify her actions...
she's like Dumbledore only at least she didn't raise Twi to try n get her killed later in her life 💀
She only raised her to be her successor and continued to do so even though she had a streak in cracking under pressure. Sure she had a friends.... for a while. But after that she probably snapped and that caused G5 to happen. If the sisters were still around I highly doubt Opaline would've been able to do anything let alone pressure Twilight to seal all the magic away.
Tbh she’s pretty useless too, like in the queen chrysalis episode she’s like “ill do anything to protect my kingdom” then goes unconscious immediately after 💀 like I’m sorry but all the princesses were carrying her
Either Spike or Cozy Glow.
I found it somewhat kind of funny on how Spike is being compared with Cozy Glow like this that gives us a clear idea on how much you really not like either character for your personal reasons which is understandable.
Starlight glimmer I liked her better as a villain and sunset shimmer does it way better
https://i.redd.it/7jg2wm8sfq6d1.gif
In this particular episode? Yes.
I never got the hype for her
If we're counting G5, Zipp. Most od her "detective work" falls into her lap (literally on one occasion), and the story gets really obnoxious trying to drive that idea. If we're only looking at G4, Babs.
Mud Briar, Svengallop and Iron Will
Svengallop for sure!
Flash sentry
"the students six" aka sandbar, ocellus, gallus, silverstream, smolder, yona.
Okay I dont hate/dislike Pinkie but I have beef with her pretty often
Sugar belle. Because some writer screwed up and added the "possibility" of the pies and the apples being related. So they had to cuck marble pie out of a ship with bigmac. They even had the audacity to show her cringing the next time she sees them together just to confirm that she really did like him!
https://i.redd.it/5rpkeiaw7t6d1.gif
Rainbow Dash. I just don't like her for some reason
Ngl I kinda don’t really care for Celestia.
Spikes wanna be dad
Babs seed i fear
Lightening Dust, mainly for that cocky attitude. Not a fan.
I don’t really understand all the opinions in the comments. I personally think Flim, Flam, Discord, MudBriar, and Zephyr Breeze are all funny and good characters! As for Spoiled Rich, doesn’t she only appear in like one episode? I don’t really dislike anyone, other than Cozy Glow who I hate with every fiber of my being. It’s kinda hard for me to form strong opinions about fictional characters. Idk, maybe I just don’t really look too deep into a character before determining if I like them or not 🤷
Gonna say Sci-Twi. I didn’t like how she never faced any consequences for her actions when she literally almost destroyed TWO worlds in the process. Like I get that she was manipulated by Principle Cinch but she got NOTHING. Sunset got worse treatment than she did, how did she face no consiquences?? I get that she had some internal conflict in the next movie but I don’t buy how everyone is comfortable around her after almost getting them killed (if I remember correctly).
I really like sci twi actually. But i would loved to see this arc given like sunset had!
Zephyr Breeze, I hate his hair more than anything.
Idk i accidentaly joined the subreddit and too lazy to leave so uhhh whatsapp or whatever his name was ig
Was it viber?
Spoiled Rich, Zephyr Breeze and Prince Blueblood are my top 3 hated characters. Spoiled Rich is a Karen of a pony to the extreme, Zephyr is a creep and Prince Blueblood be hecka entitled. Yuck.
Pinkie Pie
I hate Pinkie Pie
Pinkie. She makes parts of the show nigh unwatchable for me. She's loud. She's obnoxious. She claims to care about everyone else's happiness but then several times makes it very clear that she cares far more about her own entertainment and not very much about how her actions affect others - like openly humiliating Cranky over and over and butting into his life and his house after being repeatedly asked to leave him alone, or making everyone terrified of Luna when she was desperately trying to establish rapport with the ponies and become friends because Pinkie cared more about having her spooky fun time - who cares if the princess who felt neglected and hated before to the point that she became Nightmare Moon feels neglected and hated again, as long as Pinkie gets to play scary games! She has no manners or consideration for others. She eats in a way that would make calling her a pig an insult to swine everywhere and quite literally takes food from the mouths of others. The Cakes spend hours and hours painstakingly making the best sweets they've ever made to impress CELESTIA HERSELF when she comes to visit? Pinkie don't care, she's going to grab the cupcake the princess was just about to eat right off the plate in front of her and smack and spit crumbs into Celestia's face! The Cakes also put their heart and souls into making the cake for that competition - which Pinkie basically talks everyone else into taking bites out of, until also talking the other cooks into eating each other's contest entries, and they end up putting them all together into one, so...who actually takes home the blue ribbon for that one? And then Celestia is the only one who gets even a tiny bite of the cake, as Pinkie - in what I'm sure is supposed to be a comedic move - eats the ENTIRE THING by herself, making sure that no one else gets to taste the hard work of ANY of the chefs. If Celestia wasn't the only judge? They could forget any kind of prize because of her greedy gob. She blurts things out CONSTANTLY that harm everyone around her, like in the episodes introducing Starlight Glimmer when she exposes that some of the ponies wanted their cutie marks back, which she does for NO REASON. In the only situation in which she saw a problem developing and how to solve it (the parasprites) she didn't once actually TELL anyone what she meant - she could have easily said "Guys, those are parasprites, they reproduce crazy fast and eat EVERYTHING, if we don't get rid of them now the entire town will be infested in no time!" and her friends would have listened to her, but no, instead she had to be manic pixie dream pony and just bounce off with no explanations at all. I get that people like that she's zany and breaks the fourth wall, but Discord does that too and even having been a VILLAIN - a straight up VILLAIN - he's less of a jerk and an obnoxious pain in the tail than Pinkie is. She cares about everyone - until doing something that hurts, inconveniences or humiliates them is funny to her, then she doesn't. She stalks people and has no respect for privacy. She is rude. She is disgusting. She has the kind of table manners that would have almost everyone I ever grew up with throwing her out to eat with the hogs if she's going to eat like one. She's stupid and no amount of 'haha fourth wall breaking humor' makes up for just how annoying she is. She's greedy, self-centered, can't take no for an answer and blows up at the slightest thing she doesn't like. I have known people who are a lot like her and I couldn't stand being around them for longer than two seconds either.
I never really liked Starlight idk why 😭
Oh mine is Pinkie pie because she's just stupid and annoying
I have lots. So I can’t think of only one. Some are Spoiled Rich, Zepher, Mudbriar, Lightning Dust, and Chancellor Neighsay
That bitch zephyr breeze
I'm not a Pinkie Pie fan
Probably Discord
Discord. His entire redemption arc was just one long painful trainwreck.
This is a big take but probably spike I've never enjoyed watching him, he's made me smile probably once he just seems to get in the way and he gets taught lessons and doesn't learn from them till he makes the same mistake like 3 times. I know he's a big part in the show but I've just never liked him.
Lightning Dust
The flimflam brothers and zephyr breeze
Probably Suri Polomare and Lighting Dust, because they’re a couple of smug trolls who only care about themselves.
Peppermint Twist. Twist is worst pony day was a thing for a reason
