I'll just put it out there: Sci-Twi is a boring poochie character.
She has no memorable personality, no goals, no internal conflict.
If you like her, it's ONLY because you jerk off to her (or altenatively, you're a dyke self-inserting as her and shipping her with Sunset). No one on /mlp/ EVER discusses anything about this character aside from how much they want to fuck her.
There's nothing fun or interesting about her personality, she's extremely bland and forgettable when put next to Lauren's strong characters.

Some people say regular Twilight is a Mary Sue, but Sci-Twi in some ways is way worse in that regard. Consider this: real Twilight had to struggle with things like her stubborness and control tendencies, the show could always afford to laugh at her and that made for fun conflict. What flaws does Sci-Twi have that she has to struggle with?

You would never get a funny episode like Feeling Pinkie Keen or Lesson Zero with Sci-Twi because she's too much of a generic poochie to ever be the butt of the joke or do anything funny, she always has to be righteous or, at the very worst, misunderstood. Her entire struggle is "getting bullied by her classmates" and then "getting bullied by her evil self".

The way I see it, she's a boring, uninspired character who barely has any agency of her own. But you're free to try to argue otherwise in this thread, provided you give some reasons besides "she's a good character because I want to fuck her".

I like her because she's most likely a schizo autist who uses GrapheneOS. Literally me.
>>
>>42530888
She is literally Twilight Sparkle from S1. But instead of being forced to be the leader, she gets to rely on someone else to be the voice of reason and can safely stay in her role of snarky/jokey nerd.

She was given two movies of depth as Hasbro tried to hype her up. Bronies and children got bored to death of her anyway, so they stopped trying.

She could have been given some depth on the cancelled Human Sunset Shimmer special by making her redeem the human Sunset and finally coming full circle. But no, Hasbro wanted the winter shorts.

>She is literally Twilight Sparkle from S1.
No she's not. Stop pushing this meme. S1 Twilight Sparkle is snarky, stubborn, controlling. Sci-Twi is milquetoast, agreeable, passive. See this part in the OP:

We've never gotten an episode like Lesson Zero or Feeling Pinkie Keen because Equestria Girls doesn't work like that. You either get a 2-minute short that has to be funny and cute, or a 40 minute special focused on one or two characters at a time while still being entertaining.

It's all or nothing with EQG, and there's only so much you can do with that.

But if you must have Sci-Twi being stubborn and controlling, watch Spring Breakdown.

Joke reply from (42531030) aside, I kinda wish anyone reading this would just, idk, learn to have fun. And OP(>>42530888), for what it's worth, I've seen worse.

Pic related. PS. At least Sci-Twi ain't blonde and doesn't have pic related's character archetypes. The only context I can give is I've finally noticed a pattern towards certain disliked/hated fiction characters. I mean, I get it, I'm just way too used to it.
>>
>>42531033
>We've never gotten an episode like Lesson Zero or Feeling Pinkie Keen because Equestria Girls doesn't work like that.
I mean theoretically, you wouldn't get this kind of story with the character as presented in the existing material.
>But if you must have Sci-Twi being stubborn and controlling, watch Spring Breakdown.
I watched that years ago, but don't remember too much from that. It was a step up in her having some agency, but not by much.
>>
>>42531010
this you?

>>42531051
Then rewatch it. Half the special is Sci-Twi chastising Rainbow for being an insufferable and irresponsible thrillseeker. If you pay attention, both Rainbow and Sci-Twi talk with Sunset to smooth things over. Without Sunset, they would've been forced to confront it between themselves. Much like an S1 episode would.

No, but I was inspired by that post.

She's not to be bullied
She's to be made love to, consensually and carefully, with the purpose of breeding those bountiful hips

She was my favorite character of Equestria Girls but whatever.

Admittedly I do not care for her love life.
>>
>>42530888
I agree on all your points at a fundamental level, however, I still like her because a neurotic character that breaks when push comes to shove and can't figure a solution is really fun to me.
Ultimately, SciTwi is just Hasbro's attempt at keeping a Twilight in the EqG world, but just like Flutters isn't 1:1 with her pony self, I can delude myself into liking SciTwi cause of what role she's meant to fulfill.

Also the shipping with Sunset, even if its not in the show, influences my perception of her
>>
>>42530888
because twilight herself sucks. poochie is just a copy of that done even worse.
women are not strong, woman are not smart.
thats why it bothers you, but your stupid goy nigger brain cant articulate it.

Interesting to read the perspective of someone who HAS watched EQG beyond the first movie.

As someone who quit after trying EQG once, I was always under the impression that Sci-Twi was a neurotic, Doc Brown-esque inventor character,
who would always have some kind of weird/crazy (but smart) thing to comment about in a given situation.
Basically I thought she was more a comedic character than you're implying.

>>42531010
Or maybe I was right all along...
>>
>>42533154
you sound like a reddit fag
>>
>>42533154
She's basically two different characters in the movies and the latter specials
I think she was absolute dogshit in the former because she acted like a retard in Friendship Games and nearly destroyed the universe but then face absolutely no ill feelings towards her afterwards in Glimmer fashion. Then she spent the whole next movie sulking and doing NOTHING, actually NOTHING in the plot while Sunset and the M5 did everything until the very end where she unlocked her Mary Sue overpowered alicorn magic instantly after a pep talk.
Afterwards is when she took a backseat and became the genius inventor girl of the group and imo a lot more enjoyable.

Good to know.

Honestly the more I learn about EQG, the more it sounds like it was something that started out shit but got better with time.

Maybe someday I'll overcome the bad taste EQ1 left in my mouth 11 years ago and try watching the rest.
>>
>>42533264
You truly get to enjoy EQG when you lower your expectations and try to see it from the team's perspective.

Hasbro demanded a highschool spin-off AU to sell toys, and it had to be done in a year. That's how you get EQG 1 with all the contradictions and nonsensical choices, and the rest of the movies and shows are the crew trying to make sense of this world while still trying to tell a good story that's interesting for preteens and adult men too.
>>
>>42533264
you definitely shouldn't rate EQG based on the 1st movie. at least watch the 2nd movie

I've been so hesitant to watch RR because the only two musicals I've watched and fully enjoyed are Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music.
(The fact that both star Julie Andrews is just a coincidence.)

In general it's rare I find a pony song super enjoyable. Kirin song was the first one I actually thought "this is awesome!" while listening to it.

Yeah EQG1 is definitely the worst entry in the series. You should actually watch the other movies and specials they're pretty good.

Bump because I haven't gotten my popcorn for watching this thread.

Sci-Twi should build me an automatic stovetop popcorn popper.

Crystal Prep is very strict and even a good girl like Twilight has felt Principal Cinch's cruel cane numerous times over her education there.

Even after she transfers to Canterlot High Dorkle's cute nerd rear end is not out of danger. Principal Celestia uses a wooden paddle but that's not the worst part. Every time a student is paddled they receive a notification letter for their parents to sign. This almost always leads to a second spanking at home.

Twilight's mom buys her short skirts to make spankings easier. Twi is embarrassed to still be getting spanked at age 15 but she doesn't know all her friends get it at home too. This is unavoidable; all cute lolis must be spanked occasionally due to General Laws of Animated Cuteness.

They don't have any parents
