Let's go back to 2010. Hypothetically, what could they have done differently with Applejack's design/character that would have resulted in AJ being WAY more popular in the fandom (while still keeping her the same character)? If they course-corrected early, what traits or changes could they have given Applejack, that would have instantly made her greatly more popular with fans?I'd say for starters, one simple thing: make AJ the tallest member of the Mane 6. This....>emphasizes her bodily strength>emphasizes her horsey qualities, since she's intended to be the most horse-like of the mane 6>makes her appear more mature than her friends (she lost her parents young)>makes her seem tough, sturdy and reliable and like someone you would want to lean on for support>increases perceived confidence and authority, makes AJ more memorable, makes the viewer feel safe and protected next to her>taller = big strong earth pony breeding hipsAnd also just simply makes her way cooler. Making a character taller instantly increases their appeal in a ton of ways. People would pay way more attention to Applejack if she was tall, and it 100% makes sense for her.
>>42894835Adding more bells and whistles is not the answer when a character doesn't seem interesting, but I would make 2 changes to Applejack: >let earth ponies use magicShe's supposed to have this anyway. We see unicorns shooting lasers and pegasi flying, so let the earth ponies do something flashy like healing an illness, crumbling a rock, or talking to spirits or some shit. >give her an ambitionFor example, the Apples used to be nomadic per Family Appreciation Day, so give her the desire to reunite all of the lost branches of her family. This would give her a perfect excuse to travel and meet new ponies. If it wasn't a baby show for babies they could also have her try to learn more about the fate of her parents. >>42896807>I don't think there really is much wrong with her or her episodes>>42897006>Are her stories even that shitty though?When people say her episodes suck, they mean S4+ >Bats!In the end they just let the bats eat all the apples and Applejack is okay with it because she's just relieved her friend didn't turn into a vampire. I still don't understand how this was considered "resolved". They even ruined her giant apple. She should have been mad at Twilight for reckless use of magic on her farm. Comment too long.

>>42897405Honestly, she's not really even anymore stubborn than the rest of the mane 6. If anything, half of them have a worse stubborn streak than even she does.As for family, she does have episodes that aren't about that, like the Las Pegasus one with Fluttershy or Spike At Your Service. But I think the main thing with the whole family angle is that damn near half the major reoccurring characters are related to her. It's kinda hard for episodes to not involve her family when her family are in so many episodes. They can have important roles even in episodes not about her, so it ends up being unfair to condemn her for her episodes involving family alot when even other characters can't escape them. And I think it's a bit reductive to simply roll all of her flaws under the 'stubborn' umbrella, because you can honestly do that with all flaws at the end of the day. The conflicts of episodes like Somepny to Watch Over Me or Hearthbreakers aren't just about her being stubborn, there are other flaws which are more germane to the conflict taking place.Besides that, I don't think the other characters really are that much more varied. The only Rarity episodes that aren't about her career that I can think of are about her relationship either with her sister or Spike, which is just as varied as AJ has. Daring-Do is hardly any different from the Wonderbolts if we're being honest, it's still just RD hero worshiping at the end of the day, and the only other episodes she has are Scootaloo episodes, which are again ultimately not any different from an AJ/Apple Bloom episode. And Fluttershy only has the on episode about modeling that I can remember, and Bats is still about animals, which is in line with half her episodes still. Applejack's episodes really aren't anymore 1-note than anyone else's, she's just the only one with an extended family important enough to have multiple episodes about her interacting with them, as opposed to the others who's siblings only ever show up in like 1 or 2 episodes each. Even Granny Smith has more presence than the parents of the other mane 6.To be honest, when you really break it down, Applejack kinda feels like more of a mane character than anyone else. We know more about her past than anyone else, her family is the most present and has more importance in the story than anyone else's. It's actually a little absurd how much more we know about her than anyone else.
>>42897523>In the end they just let the bats eat all the applesWhat? Is the message of the episode just "pesticides bad"?
>>42897523>>Bats!But the thing with Bats! is that the shitty parts about its story are because of Fluttershy, not Applejack. People don't dislike it because Applejack sucks in it, they dislike it because Fluttershy is a Mary Sue who's solution is treated as being correct when it obviously has tons of holes in it. The story's not shit because of Applejack, it's shit because of the episode siding against her for no reason.>>Sompony to Watch Over MeI actually like this one. AJ has had a protective streak since the first season, and I think it's a good flaw to explore as opposed to the way other episodes handle their story where the MC is just made into a huge dick for no reason and the resolution is for them to not be a dick. This one at least still has AJ with sympathetic motives, and her even putting the lesson together on her own without another character needing to spell it out for her.>>Leap of FaithI don't minds this one too much either because it actually is a decent test of her honesty that's supposed to make her character. Alot of people deride her moment of honesty in the series premier as being underwhelming because there really isn't any reason for her to lie, and this episode does a decent job remedying that. AJ doesn't want to tell the truth at first because she thinks the lie makes Granny happy, and she'd rather see her family be happy and successful than ruin their moods with the truth, until she decides she'd rather her family be unhappy but safe instead of risking their well being on a lie. Plus, it shows her being willing to put her reputation on the line after she already told everyone Flim and Flam's product was great, so even there it shows a pretty virtuous side of her as being willing to take a hit to her reputation for the sake of telling the truth.>>Applejack's "Day" OffYea this is one of the ones me and the other Anon are talking about where the writers just don't want to have anyone else be in the wrong, so they make her wrong by default and everyone else just knows how to do her own job better than her even though none of them even run a garden.>>42897533The message is "Don't pressure friends into doing something they don't think is right". Even though that's exactly what Fluttershy spends the whole episode doing to Applejack and the episode ends with Applejack being forced to carry the burden of Fluttershy's unwillingness to remove some bats. So the actual message is more accurately "Fluttershy can do what she wants, and Applejack needs to blindly do what everybody else tells her to do". Even though the entire episode proves her right, they still all take Fluttershy's side for no reason and fuck over the Apples.
>>42897530>We know more about her past than anyone else, her family is the most present and has more importance in the story than anyone else's. It's actually a little absurd how much more we know about her than anyone elseReal, she's been shown as a baby, a filly a teen, her current young adult self, and at her old age.
