>retarded retcon of Faust canon>absolutely loved by /mlp/Impossible levels of hypocrisy.
Why was Maud pushed so hard anyways? Is she someones idea of a furfag OC meant to snatch screentime away in several episodes? I mean for the love of God, she has more episodes named after herself than some of the main characters or supporting ones.
>>42997796It's not that every single retroactive change to the TRVE FAVSTIAN VISION was bad. Just most of them.
>>42997802Maud was amazing. Shut your fake fan ass up bitch. I'll shove a rock up your pee hole.
>>42997796I believe you are talking out of your ass.The reason shit like this happened is because Faust DIDN'T do her job in Season 1. Family relationship should have been locked down in a show bible even before they were featured in the show.Faust did not do that. Stop putting her on a pedestal she doesn't deserve.
Marble was robbed, ROBBED I SAY!So many episodes wasted just to run the same joke of Maud not having visible emotional responses that could easily be spent for the two other sisters.
>>42997826Maud is supposed to be autistic like true fans of the shiw
>>42997826this except best pie instead
>>42997796Okay, but why didn't they just use Limestone or Marble and made her Maud? Like, give one of them Maud's personality since they didn't have one to begin with. It's not because of the Pinkie Pie book because their personalities in that book are not exactly what ended up in Hearthbreakers anyways.
>>42997826While I don't think Maud should have had less episodes, I do agree that the other two sisters should have gotten their own episodes too. Marble might be a bit of a repeat of Fluttershy, but Limestone is so much wasted potential and should have absolutely gotten some more attention, I can't think of any other equivalent character in the show.
I would have zero issue with Maud if her Faust created sisters actually got screentime, but we can't have nice things.
>>42997828I love Limestone
>>42997973fuck you i love her more
>>42997826Why did they feel the need to add the cuckquean scene?
>>42997999Because Marble deserved to suffer for having lustful thoughts about her cousin.
>>42997999Because Jim is a bitter talentless loser who should've never been allowed to direct anything.
>>42997999because we live in a society
>>42997796That's not a retcon OP. A retcon is when you try to walk back something that was made explicit.Calling an addition a retcon is like saying episode 2 is a retcon of episode 1 because it didn't already exist at the time.Shows develop by adding in new ideas. Nothing in the show actually revealed that there wasn't another pie sister, and so nothing is being undone by adding one later.So Maud is simply a new idea. You can just say you don't like that new idea without having to call it a retcon, you don't need to come up with some logical reason to dislike something.
>>42998122Maud existing isn't a retcon. But being at Pinkie's first party however is one. She wasn't there except she conveniently joined the party later off-screen . And they pretend she was in Pinkie Pride.
it was an infaust decision
OP is a faggot
>>42997821True, but the nu-staff would've found some other way to fuck it up.
>>42998122It is a retcon. Why the fuck would they show her whole family but not Maud? Where would the other sister be? Excluded from the party? Why would Pinkie Pie exclude anyone, her family least of all from a party. You shiteating trogs I swear...
>>42997796>retcon of retarded Faust canonIf I was in charge I would have retconned the whole sonic rainboom thing in general. Most retarded thing about the show.>"RAAAIIINBOOOM!!!">TS, RD, RT, PP, FS: who fucking cares?
>>42997796I agree that Maud as a concept is stupidBesides, you could have used Marble or Limestone instead of creating a new pony, but I guess they had to give her a "goth" look with her hairstyle and eyeshadow.Also, the idea could be "okay, Maud wasn't there when Pinkie cheered everyone up, so that justifies her being just as cold as Pinkie and the others before the cutie mark moment", but then we see that Limestone and Marble (and Pinkie's parents) are still just as serious as before, so that aspect doesn't really matter later.In a way, you can also blame the S5 writers for that, because wouldn't it be logical to assume that after that Pinkie's cutiemark where she cheered everyone up and threw a party, her whole family would be normal and not so serious?You can use the same argument against Maud, but also against Marble and Limestone: the fact that they still have that personality when the last thing we saw from them was that they had learned to smile is also a retcon made for the joke of "lol Pinkie is the antithesis of her entire family and she doesn't even seem to realize it"Despite all of that, I love Maud, Marble, and Limestone with all my heart, so it doesn't really bother me that much.I would have liked Maud to have a couple fewer episodes if it meant giving them to Spitfire or Coco Pommel, but we all know the writers would give them to some other insignificant and boring character anyway
>>42998665>Giving episodes to Spitty and anal slut 9000Based!
>>42997826she did show emotion though, at least in her debut episode.
>>42998631Based beyond belief.Faust's cocksucking of Dash in the first season is just disgusting.
>>42998504>Why the fuck would they show her whole family but not Maud Where would the other sister be? Excluded from the party? Maud got up earlier to go watch the fields, Pinkie only woke up the people at the house.>Why would Pinkie Pie exclude anyone?Because she can be forgetful and inconsiderate at times. She once forgot about her own birthday. It isn't far-fetched for her to focus on what is convenient or fun at the moment and forgetting about important details.While Maud was not planned from the beginning, the explanations given aren't out of character and do not explicitly contradict information as her to be considered a retcon.
>>42997796Wow, almost as if /mlp/ isn't a hive-mind so not everyone prioritizes continuity above all, and some of us are more interested in fun characters and stories.
>>42998155Carlos!
I've often said Maud would work better if she were Pinkie's cousin.>>42997802I have a theory that it was easier for the animators and writers to deal with one side character instead of two, on top of hiring one VA. Maud was genetically engineered to steal the spotlight from Limestone and Marble as Pinkie's favorite sister, which is why Limestone and Marble are constrained to a limited settings like the rock farm, whereas Maud is free to show up everywhere glued to Pinkie's side.>>42998776If season 10 came out tomorrow, you'd excuse Pinkie Pie's 7 other sisters hiding under her bed during her first party as being a sensible change.
>>42998631That severely cucked their backstories just for the sake of a hollow spectacle. I love Dashie wank but the loss of the m6 getting proper motivations to build their characters was not worth it.
>>42998714Faust is sucking Rainbow Dash's marecock?!
>>42997999To appeal to dbspics
Bump
>>42997796maud was always shit. the only funny thing she ever did was roast discord.
>>42999502
>>42998975>on top of hiring one VAmarble doesn't speak anyway
>>42997796I like Maud so I don't care
Pie bump
>>42997802SAINT MAUD
>>42999557Yeah, this. An emotionless character is good for a one-off joke, not to make a recurring character.
>>42999953
>>42997796>upset about Maud of all things>not upset about names of her sistersfake fan
>>43001686>defending a Pac Man reference over rock food punsInky is cool and descriptive like Pinkie, but Blinky was always an arbitrary crap name to get saddled with.
>>42997796I just really wanted to see more of Pinkie interacting with her angry sister
>>43001991It was funny. You know, "fun"? That thing we used to do before the fandom went to hell (around the time of Derpigate)?
>>43002082>food puns aren't funnyNever claimed the reference wasn't fun. It's too fun, the kind of random fun Pinkie would have nicknaming her sisters. That's my fun headcanon. Since you brought up the Derpster, half of that fun fandom back then also thought Ditzy Doo was fun. It wasn't, it was blatantly wrong and gay.
>>42997796What's the problem? Maud is a good character.
>>43002281Bait used to be believable.
>>43002599Are you retarded?
>>43002619He seems smart to me.
>>43000810
>>42997802Nah that's Glimmer. Maud is just someone having a good idea and not letting canon stop them.
>>43002233Ditzy Doo was a cut pony from Winter Wrap Up who sent birds in the wrong direction
>>42998155
>>43004402
So when's her rent due?Also... >MLPFiM Created and Developed by Lauren Faust.
And before I forget, showrunner =/= Creator. The person who originally made your favorites is allowed to leave the position. 5 years since MLPFiM ended and it's already starting to remind me of genwunners (from Pokemon) and I'm willing to use it as an unironic comparison now.
>>43005758
>>42997796Maud is my least favorite pony. Her joke isn't funny after season 6. Reddit mare.
>>42997796
What's even worse about Maud is that despite all of the completely legitimate criticisms itt, the hack staff got so up their own ass that they character assassinated and flanderized their own pet by introducing the retarded Sheldon pony. Every single appearance of Maud after that has her do literally nothing other than be attached to that unfunny faggot at the hip and suck his dick.
>>43007103Based. The Big Bang Theory was never funny.
>>42997796What's wrong, anon? You don't like the boring gray Daria ripoff?
>>42997796>omg she wasn't in this one scene >clearly she must not exist!She was pooping in the outhouse. Came back after and somepony took a picture of all of them.
>>43007485hot
bumping because I fucking hate this cunt
>>43007900Faust or Maud?
>>42997796We all know Maud was given a slip because she was an autistic mare where many went "OMG, she is totally me for real".I wonder if the reason why we didn't heard much about maudfags when she explicitly said "I have a boyfriend" is because they commit sudoku, so there was no anger in the change. But there was also no joy because she is Sheldon's girlfriend, and Sheldon fucking sucks.>Hurr durr, dude, Big Bang was the shitNO! It was the kind of crappy self referencial writing that let shows like Rick and Morty exists!
>have cute shy sisterNo I don't care if Fluttershy already exists, she can at least speak.>have cute angry but caring sister>all but write them out of existence like all of the recurring townsponies in favor of inserting some monotone retard voiced by an actual autistAll they did later on is throw away existing characters to replace them with shittier ones, and the ones they couldn't throw away, like the main characters? They just made them shittier. They replaced Cheerilee, the school, and the schoolfoals with random adult ponies who somehow needed to learn kid lessons, then with the friendshit school. They replaced recurring background characters with one-offs that were shit. Then they replaced ponka's family with mennonite references and a boring retard.
>>43008718>they replaced ponka's family with mennonite referencesBut they were that since season 1. We probably could've gotten a singing black sheep with Granny Pie though (RIP).
someone jog my memory, were either Limestone or Marble featured in episodes before this? Becasue the I don't think they were, and I don't quite get why you couldn't just use limestone's design for what would be maud.my most feasible theories are>they wanted one of each for the four temperaments, becasue it seemed like it'd make for good episode material (even if that didn't happen much)>adding a new character in a blink-an-you-miss-it moment would drum up interest and hype online
>>43008851Not really. Fanworks of Limestone and Marble were limited, mainly because they didn't have a show appeareance.They appeared in one of the sidebooks, and in that book Maud also appears. But it was meant to be a book-only character, then she became a canon one.
