WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:10.860 Well it's about time I get to this topic 00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:13.290 and boy is it due. I know there have been many, 00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.000 many others have tried to talk about 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.230 this and discuss it. 00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:18.980 So here I am, good ol' me better late than 00:00:18.980 --> 00:00:21.840 never right? Am I right? I'm like thirty 00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.810 five percent right... maybe. It needs to be 00:00:24.810 --> 00:00:26.369 about 20 cooler. 00:00:26.369 --> 00:00:28.710 Oh shush. Well anyway this is my attempt to give 00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:29.849 a different approach to the topic and 00:00:29.849 --> 00:00:31.349 hopefully get an answer that isn't entirely 00:00:31.349 --> 00:00:33.480 frankly being stated. Well the obvious stuff 00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.190 is obvious. For those who wanted to know 00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:37.170 or just avoid the Equestria Girls movie like the plague 00:00:37.170 --> 00:00:38.940 and considerate it non-canon. I 00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:40.860 have some sad news for you. 00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:43.050 Sorry. Second, Flash is the love interest 00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:44.879 character in the Equestria Girls movie helping 00:00:44.879 --> 00:00:47.129 Twilight- no not that one- the horse one. 00:00:47.129 --> 00:00:48.930 Can claim for school and saving her butt 00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:50.850 from time to time. The stereotypical nice 00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:53.760 guy basically. He's not that Flash. Sorry. 00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.199 The problem is that this goes directly 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:56.940 against Lauren Faust's ideas for who may 00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:58.820 make romatic issues not being main focus for female 00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:00.480 characters. And like others and certain pony 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:02.940 theme shows. Problem number two, he steals 00:01:02.940 --> 00:01:05.720 all the waifus. Do I have to just explain this one too err 00:01:05.720 --> 00:01:08.480 fine. You see bronies, just like any fans 00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:10.560 of whatever has emotional attachment to 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.140 characters... gee I don't know what that's 00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:13.740 like. 00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:15.330 Especially considering the high male 00:01:15.330 --> 00:01:17.070 fans to female character scenario in this 00:01:17.070 --> 00:01:20.490 show, a waifu is well a fake fictional wife 00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:22.229 shut up the unit's weird. 00:01:22.229 --> 00:01:23.640 Regardless, the main ponies don't have 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.170 any serious love interest that lasts long a 00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:28.200 time except, Twilight and Flash. So yeah the ideas 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.540 isn't taking kindly few well. UGHH!! My 00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:32.430 beautiful head canon ruined. Between these two 00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:34.320 ideas Flash just seems like a foreign entity to the 00:01:34.320 --> 00:01:36.360 series even more drastic than. Yeah. 00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:38.700 That. Thank god for the comics that fix everything 00:01:38.700 --> 00:01:39.960 and make sense out of the obvious 00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:41.070 marketing toys, 00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:43.680 Well kind of.. damn you Hasbro! 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.659 He just doesnt fit and he wasn't developed 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:47.939 enough for audiences for the most part to forgive 00:01:47.939 --> 00:01:49.680 the settling new character you. Damn it 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.119 the show is usually good at that 00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:53.729 now that's all explained, what is there do? How do we fix 00:01:53.729 --> 00:01:55.200 this? Well besides blowing up the 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:56.700 conveniently available Flash dolls 00:01:56.700 --> 00:01:58.259 that goes with your new Equestria Girls play set.. 00:01:58.260 --> 00:01:59.820 Do it. 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.100 I think flash needs better character development 00:02:04.100 --> 00:02:06.740 in the future. Let's face he's a tool. He's made to fit the roll 00:02:06.740 --> 00:02:08.390 of the romantic lead to complete the high 00:02:08.390 --> 00:02:10.489 school setting. But as we've seen before 00:02:10.489 --> 00:02:12.230 this is not impossible to fix the 00:02:12.230 --> 00:02:14.030 story in Equestria Girls is always focused on someone 00:02:14.030 --> 00:02:15.680 else too and we don't have time to 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:17.300 develop Flash into more of his own than 00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:19.430 frankly made for Twilight and to sell 00:02:19.430 --> 00:02:21.110 toys. My challenge: 00:02:21.110 --> 00:02:24.080 make flash likable with development writers. That's right 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.030 he can be taught! I mean if he has a goal, 00:02:26.030 --> 00:02:28.130 a focus, something outside the perfectly 00:02:28.130 --> 00:02:30.380 model face, and his perfectly model body he knows 00:02:30.380 --> 00:02:32.569 how he could fix this. And you know we 00:02:32.569 --> 00:02:38.000 don't have to --- So is he a menace? Nah. 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.380 Hes just a poorly played character with the 00:02:39.380 --> 00:02:40.819 goal and purpose that needs to be fleshed out 00:02:40.820 --> 00:02:42.920 more. We'll see if that's possible.
