>boring job>boring episodes >very few voice lines past Season 1 because even her creators got tired of her>not involved in any meaningful finale or episodes >a stereotype of a stereotype >zero nuance Was this non-character checklist trope doomed or were the writers at fault?
>>41820343>writers at fault?
>>41820343She is busy being my wife, leave her alone
She absolutely could've been treated better, it just came down to what the writers prioritized and in the post-Faust era she wasn't one of those things.
>>41820343you are too stupid to appreciate AJ
>>41820343I watched three seasons and let's say a half and I loved AJ throughout. What's the issue? Or does it come up later on?
Just not true. Lots more Applejack-focused episodes than there are for Rarity. also this >>41820374
>>41820343>can't create an exciting character outside of their own experienceWriters were at fault.
>>41820343Applejack is my least favorite M6 but half of what you said about her isn't true. She had some good episodes and you can work with her. But I think to really get into Applejack you have to be American with a specific mindset.
>>41820397>>can't create an exciting character outside of their own experienceNo one can do that. All the best renowned writers of history are either people who wrote about the specific things they knew a lot about, or people who led an exciting lifestyle where throughout their life they'd go to war, spend time in jail, go through three divorses, poverty and some form of depression, and then pour their musings on their rich life experience onto the paper.
>>41820414>No one can do that.No one can operate on a human heart but there's people who can. No one can write exciting characters outside of their own experience but there's writing courses. Why work in a field when you don't take the necessary education is beyond me.
>>41820421There are millions of writing courses out there and not one unifying authority that can tell you which courses are any good.Also, I imagine everyone who wrote for MLP went through some kind of formal education adjacent to writing.
>>41820433We got 10/10 AJ episodes in seasons 1 and 2 first directed and later supervised by an actual Jewess. If a tribe of people culturally hateful of rural work can write a compelling rural character there's a skill issue with modern writers.
>>41820444I wouldn't call Applebucking Season or Look Before You Sleep 10/10. I really like Fall Weather Friends though, but this just goes to show how even our two sets of standards are different, to not even speak of the different standards of every person involved in creating every writer course ever.
>>41820450Sorry bro, I got trips. It's like drawing you as the Söyjak and me as the chad.
>>41820343Bait, forced meme, and a sprinkling of unspoken Twifaggotry.
>>41820457Everyone has trips these days! Let me make this clear. My accomplishment is my own, you're chained to me and this time \'m not going to stop gathering magic until you can't mathematically cancel this idiocy without a video cassette recorder and the twenty eighteen wizards of the coast guidebook. Oh Dash' break my soul again!Blah blah blah blah blah pesent the gold apple for teacher Dashie!
I like how something like King of the Hill can make Southerners interesting but all AJ is: >apples>hyuck southernisms >apples apples>voice gets deeper like a man They should have just written her out, say she ran away or had to sell the farm or she died of food poisoning or got eaten by panthers or something.
>>41820414plenty of great authors lived boring fucking lives. by all evidence shakespeare did
>>41820545AJ is the fandom not realizing the elements represent Repub fiefdom. You'd suppose if twilight or starlight wanted to alter history they'd divert them away from the old castle since there were obviously a diff set of magical items waiting. I JUST ACCEPT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE.Fimfic spoilers!
>>41820559Shakespeare also didn't write his own plays
>>41820545I like how something like Madoka Magica can make magical girls interesting but all Twilight is:>books>akshually nerdisms >books books>body gets taller like a man They should have just written her out, say she flew away or had to sell the library or she died of hayburger poisoning or got disintegrated by Glimmer or something.
>>41820343angeljackI'll take the baitI think you might be able to recognize her importance if you see her as the M6 interface to the Apple family.The Apples were a key part in many memorable episodes, and without applejack there would be no connection with the show.She performs a very important role, even if you find her boring. AJ is the center of the Venn diagram between the M6 and the Apple family.Also she's best ponyFuck you OP
>>41820343She was the DEI before it became a thing. She was doomed to fail.
>>41820343Of all the ponies with their crazy jobs and quirks, it's nice to have a down-to-earth, as normal as you can get pony
>>41821392Should've been a background pony then. Waste of a slot for a main character.
>>41821553Applejack was never a main character. If you want an example of a farmhand type person who was a main character with a fraction of the screentime that would be Samwise Gamgee. AJ feels more like a Simpsons background OC like Comic Book Guy or Dr. Nick.
ITT: ponkfags, dashfags, flutterfags, and rarifags pretend they're not all irrelevant side hoes to the main character.
>>41820357That implies you agree with OP though
>Boring episodesJust gonna ignore Applebuck Season, Look before you Sleep, Fall Weather Friends, Super Cider Squeezy 6000, and that’s just the ones from the canon seasons
>>41821553This >>41821572. There's a line between main characters and background pony. Applejack is the line. Her ass is big enough to go over both boundaries
Ponyville is known all across Equestria for its apples in the show bible, making Applejack and the Apple family one of its most important elements.
