I love Fluttershy to tears, she's precious. I feel like she was underused.


TheSpeedyBall

She is the least seen member of the mane 6 by quite a bit, still more seen than anyone outside of the mane 6 though.


[deleted]

I thought that was applejack? lol


petershrimp

Iirc, Applejack actually has the most screen time (possibly/probably excluding Twilight).


[deleted]

Wow rlly???!


petershrimp

I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a chart showing exactly how much screentime each of them had across the series, and Applejack was either 1st or 2nd place. My memory is telling me she was even higher than Twilight, but I'm honestly skeptical if I'm remembering that part correctly. I just tried to Google it, but all results on the first page are limited to season one and/or two.


Rotunas

I just want to corroborate this and say I remember the same. With Fluttershy on the bottom and applejack at the top


TheSpeedyBall

Applejack is third, the order is Twilight, Dashie, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, fluttershy.


LonestarLawyr

So good news bad news. The bad news is I think he (Half The Battle) took the google sheet down, but I copied the total screen time for each character a few months ago for a video. Through “A Matter of Principals”, the top 15 in terms of screen time: 1. ⁠Twilight (53,862 seconds) 2. ⁠Rainbow Dash (39,766) 3. ⁠Applejack (38,560) 4. ⁠Rarity (38,508) 5. ⁠Pinkie Pie (37,758) 6: Fluttershy (33,238) 6. ⁠Spike (30,251) 7. ⁠Apple Bloom (20,105) 8. ⁠Sweetie Belle (14,829) 9. ⁠Scootaloo (14,460) 10. ⁠Starlight Glimmer (14,273) 11. ⁠Discord (7,302) 12. ⁠Big Mac (6,687) 13. ⁠Celestial (5,486) 14. ⁠Granny Smith (4,903) From there it’s a weird batch: Shining Armor at #22, Zecora at #35, Gummy at #49, Sugar Belle at #60, Flim& Flam at #67/68, etc…


SonicSpiderRanger10

At least my favorite character got the second-most screentime. 🙂


LonestarLawyr

I always wanted more of Sunset Shimmer…girl was 🔥🔥🔥


SonicSpiderRanger10

Yeah, I’d like to see more of Equestria Girls. It’s sad. It’s so good, but got so much less time to shine than the main series.


PiccoloComprehensive

Much better in pony form. Something about the human form’s hair doesn’t sit right with me.


Rastaba

It doesn’t drag on the floor nearly as much as pony Fluttershy’s tail does! Hehe. Teasing but I do think I get what you mean.


petershrimp

Most of the human forms have hair that is longer/bigger than what I would expect. The biggest example is Rainbow; they really had a tomboy athlete have hair down to her butt.


Steampunk__Llama

Such is the curse of requiring their designs fit the doll moulds 😔 At least in the later EQG stuff they try to give them more distinct silhouettes and play around with their clothes and hair, but it's clear they were still pretty restricted in what they could do. At least we've got plenty of fan redesigns that aren't required to work as a doll <3


petershrimp

That's also why they all had boots and skirts at first. That was pretty much the first thing I noticed when they first announced they were making EQG, that every one of them was wearing a skirt, including AJ and Rainbow. At least they let Rainbow have sport shorts under her skirt, but it was nice when they updated their outfits later and actually let her have pants.


Steampunk__Llama

Yeah 100%, kid me was so mad that EQG Rainbow didn't wear shorts lmao, plus I've just always imagined a human AJ would wear either sturdy pants or overalls, so seeing her in a miniskirt is always a jumpscare when rewatching the first film 💀


petershrimp

>kid me Damn, way to make me feel old. EQG released just after my second year of college.


Steampunk__Llama

Lol that's how I've started feeling with people mentioning they started watching g4 at the age of 6, EQG came out when I was 12 :P It's nice to see some of the older fans still sticking around though!! You guys always made me feel welcome in the fandom despite being part of the target demographic, but it feels like so many of the old 'horse famous' people kinda drifted away from the fandom (which I do 100% get, but also it's kinda sad to see all these big names not really mention mlp anymore at the same type)


SonicSpiderRanger10

To be fair, her pony form has long hair, too.


Mr_MazeCandy

Her Human form is nice but I get the feeling she’s a freak and maybe a tad bit manipulating in private


wilddogwatching

my favorite

Neohexane

Adorable and kind. She solves problems with her words, not her hooves. And she befriended Discord. That might be among the most important things any pony has accomplished.


LonestarLawyr

Except when she’s a Power Pony and she She-Hulks out…🤣


the_red_stinger_82

One of the absolute best characters in the whole show


JazzHooves

Shes super cute as an adult and in eg but im not a fan of her filly design


Sketch1231

I loved her filly design tbh, it showed more body type range (and I could relate as I was always the scrawny tiny kid)


Big-Conversation-885

I think, she could’ve had better writing, yes they gave depth to her getting over her shyness but.. I feel like she could’ve been more rounded out in general 😭


MrWolfie321

She had character development, she went from being a pushover to still being shy but very able to stand her ground. Until the writers needed to put her through the same character arc of course, which would be the main problem with her character, the writers never figured out another plot for her lmao


Big-Conversation-885

That's my only problem, I know it needed to be discovered deeper and deeper but damn, at some point it felt like more of a running gag than an actual plot.


MrWolfie321

Agreed. A valid point a lot of people put up is that in reality it takes multiple instances and time to get over a problem like that. But she is pretty much the only one who goes through the exact same problem that much. The other have as well but at least their are treated from a different point of view. For example RD learning to not be such a show off in mare do well and newbie dash: In the first she is obsessed with the praise of being a hero until she gets humbled down through example; And in newbie dash she feels insecure over the playful teasing and not standing out much among the wonderbolts, and she feels like she needs to impress them to gain their respect and elaborates a plan to make herself stand out the most at the performance (without telling her teammates ofc), yet once again gets humbled but this time by the consequences of her own actions, learning that realizing your dreams doesn't always go as you expect, but it doesn't mean you are a failure in any way. This compared to Flutters who pretty much ends up in the same situation of not speaking out when she needs to, but in different contexts most of the time.


ReyTepocataSamurai

I had a girlfriend with big eyes, long hair and tender voice and everytime i see Fluttershy i think of her. Obviusly she is my favorite pony ever. I love her un every form


Astrophel6326

i absolutely love fluttershy she is baby also her pony form is adorable and her human form is super cute, but i do think the human design could have been done a bit better


Dashie_Souls

She's a cutie in both forms


Mountain_Dew_Fan

I want her hoove in marriage


Remarkable-Job4774

Not if I get there first


MrWolfie321

While you two fight, im already on my way with a ring


Rengi_30

You're talking way to much so I'll take her hoove You snooze,you lose


Thefoxlover16

Jokes on you, I married her 5 years ago!


Mountain_Dew_Fan

No! 😠

best pony

Halo_Hybrid

I think anybody could use a friend who’s as soft natured, sweet, caring and nurturing as her but willing to stick up for you. She’s heavenly wife material. When she’s happy, everyone is happy.


Witty_Championship85

I love her so much, and he relationship with Discord is absolutely heart-meltingly adorable


TheGeicoLizard32

Pretty pony with pretty voice and pretty hair and pretty eyes and pretty hair when she was a filly and did I call her pretty?


Lastbourne

Pony Fluttershy has much better development


ShackledDragon

Best character in the show


Steampunk__Llama

Your flair says otherwise /j


Pepsi_Boy_64

My favorite pony. Relatable at times. Great interaction with characters, mad funny when she gets pissed. But she’s just…..charming.


xLilyJeanx

She’s my fav of the mane 6. She has the cutest design and personality and I can relate to her


Harley-5678

She’s my number one favorite character in MLP G4 (including EG).


Yumefrays

She's literally me


bloodredcookie

Hello fluttershy.


EstebanW1nsmore

Pony - yay. Human - nay. I dont like EQ.


LightningStrikeDust

My least favorite mane and humane character, but still adorable and enjoyable. Seriously, in most other shows, Fluttershy would be the best. She just so happens to be surrounded by a magnum opus of a cast.


Beyond_the_dreams

She’s absolutely adorable and I love her, rainbow use to be my favorite of the main 7 in either world, but after I’ve been rewatching it again, damn she’s my favorite, she’s so cute so wholesome, yet she can get serious when needed even if she doesn’t want to


SilnikParowy

She's the best


Marily_Rhine

She's one of the most adorable things in the universe. S-tier huggable pony, and she really _needs_ a hug.


Red_demon102

Simple, fluttershy is baby, she is precious, baby’s get cooki c:


pawpatrolcreepypasta

YES


Remarkable-Job4774

Best pony and human


Fuumarz

The most gentle and sweet pony ♥️ I love her!


Vilyque

She's so yay !


yoboialex2169

She's one of the better ponies to me due to being the most adorable.


DrawyWild

She's so cute and precious! X3 I would definitely like to be friends with her if I had the chance lol :3


Indie_Gamer_7

Bro she makes me cry from how cute she is, those puppy sad eyes i can't.


Chaos_Breezie

To perfect and pure and must be protected at all cost


Feisty_Middle_7985

I adore her, shes one of my favourite characters, also comfort characters (amongst applejack and cadence) i really really love her kind and gentle nature since it makes me feel really safe and warm


Rose_lovesstuf

My favorite 😭💗🏳️‍⚧️


EchoMiddle672

I love fluttershy, really, such a cute pony and lovelly as a human, they underestimate fluttershy beacuse of her innocence and shyness, but the power that she holds and the upgrade that she can when she is with anger its no questinable.


LeoTheFloofyDragon

My favorite of the mane 6


catsinflyingsaucers

Human: Interesting character design, would have preferred more of a “green thumb” kind of look over this. It works well though. No other opinions for I haven’t seen her yet. Pony: Genuinely one of my favorites! A tad inconsistent about her courage and whatnot. I do enjoy the episodes centered around her but I think she is better used as a supporting member or a lead character in a B plot. I also think it is interesting that she’s a Pegasus who is not a frequent flyer. I have no opinion on this choice, I just think it is interesting.


astromin

i love her 💛🩷her human version is cute too i always loved she just carried a bunch of animals in her backpsck


MethidMan

The prettiest one (both pony and human), prettier than Rarity even IMO


Guilherm-rain-9341

Happy Cake Day!


StagDragon

Overated. They finished their character arc in the first 5 seasons and then was a flawless character for the rest of the show.


Afraid-Nobody-3844

She's not shy she has social anxiety, which isn't shyness. Very different things... and misleading to kids who related to her


Sketch1231

Her human form is the only good design imo. I love her though, she’s a wonderful character and one of the best ponies


Coveinant

Squeaky but in a good way


AleXandrYuZ

Wife


tfEmily78

Very pretty hair/mane


sks316

One of the adorablest beans, she must be protected at all costs


Affectionate_East758

Ma Little girl💕


metal_enjoyer

she gets annoying at a certain point but shes kind so whatever lol


eowynsamwise

LOVE HER! Genuinely considered getting her cutie mark tattooed on me, I just haven’t decided where would be the best place


ElectricDreamUnicorn

I haven't watched Equestria Girls. It gives me uncanny valley vibes. Pony Fluttershy is my favourite. She's so cute.


Foresthowler

Given she's a huge nature lover, I'm surprised she's not a barefooter.


PebieJeebies

Literally me if I were on a popular tv show


FlowerWyrmling

It doesn't matter what form she's in, she's still lovely. She's always sweet, and has heart of gold. I want to hug her


SaguaroCactus19

Her pony form is the cutest among the Mane 6, her human form not so much


JustHereForFood99

Adorable. And that's about all I have to say about that.


yestureday

Cute, compassionate, Only real flaw I see is she’s real shy and that can get in the way of a lot of things


Desperate_Form_1068

they're both cute and kinda shy


M178music

Love her


Training-Cup5603

need all hugs, she is so kind srs


BillDillen

Best pony. And I love how they designed her hair in the human version.


Joantheunicorn5

Not my favorite, but shes really cute!


bloodredcookie

***yay***


contraflop01

Absolutely perfect


ThaR3alOct-0

I love her either way.


Sure-Pair2339

Is adorable


HollowPhoenix

Too cute and gorgeous for her own good She makes my heart flutter


maribakumon

Perfect. No notes.


Theresa-Apocalypse

Probably one of the best members of the Mane 6, she has a lot of different sides to her personality, lots of character depth, probably one of the best along with Applejack


BricksCameraAction

Fluttershy my beloved 😍


ChaoticInsanity_

I really think the human design could look a lot better, but that's for almost every equestria girls design imo. Pony shy is one of the prettiest designs for me, next to rarity and cadance. I also really like her in general, I feel like I can relate with her being as we're both really quiet and constantly asked to speak up. (I'm NOT a loud talker lol)


NotAlbena

Just me who is a fan of fluttershys original outfit? Like her dress was simple but also cute


BasicEntertainment95

I love her in all her forms


tastydevilkitten

I hate her human 3/10 design she comes off like she would be more comfortable wearing overalls, not a dress . But they gave her a dress also there is something lacking in all their human designs Her pony design is perfect, and her personality is perfect, and everything is perfect in the pony form 10/10


ShuckU

Best member of the G4 Mane 6


encephalomeningitis

my opinion is that she's great


azure_sapphiere

Pony: best character Human: not fluttershy


Mr_MazeCandy

If you could only save one Pony, it would be Fluttershy, She’s that beautiful and sweet. Human Fluttershy is equally sweet, but she loses something about her character. Furthermore, she looks like she’s freaky in private.


LordNightFang

Don't like the pony version. And don't know the human version, so no comment on that.


Proud-Ideal-2606

I love all of the mane six, and fluttershy isn't my all time favorite, but I'd argue she's the best and most popular mane six. (She's my 2nd favorite lol)


Shy-Prey

Love the pony so much. Her and Appljack are my favorites....I think she looks weird as a pony


Wac11

The human one is meh, I love the pony one


Bastulius

She's the one I have the biggest crush on, especially the human version


icun97

I really like her mane


SickandCreepyChild

I'm a big Rarity fan, but, Fluttershy is still perfect.


AwkwardSegway

Best pony (along with Twilight)!


Jon_JayRoc-0312

They are both cute


unanimous_valentino

flutters is my favorite pony out of the mane six, and her human design is my favorite out of the main 7 equestria girls ^^


Jazzlike_Tailor_647

She is Sexy hot cute kind nice caring loving


Plus_Statistician324

Fluttershy's cool 


RojinZ1985

She's good looking in both Human and Horse form, one of the few I can say that about. Like, even Sunset Shimmer is only a standout in Human Mode, but "meh" in Horse Mode. Fluttershy can pull off both. 👍


Sakura_Tategami

Sweet Queen!


night_owl43978

She’s my least favorite of the mane 6 to be honest. I think they’re all likable, though. Being the worst out of a group of all great characters isn’t really that bad. But I think a lot of her episodes feel contrived and she, more so than the other 5, seems to cause the most issues. She’s really cute though and I like a lot of the gags relating to her. Flutterguy was fire.


Malhaloc

Fluttershy is adorable. I don't watch EQG though. On my rewatch of the series, she's not nearly the doormat she was memed to be. She actually is portrayed in multiple episodes (even prior to Iron Will) to be assertive when she needs to be. She can even be kind of a bitch at complete random in a few episodes. Which is really weird when it happens. It's so out of character for her.


Alephnull101

Fluttershy in pony form has that feel to her that no one else has you just want to hug her but the more nice thing about her is rhe fact that she is not an animal freak like himan fluttershy is she cares for them and knows whats best but human fluttershy stuffs the animals in her schoolbag which is stuffy and not much room for movement Tbf i dont like human fluttershy she is pretty irritating for me at least and doesnt really show any growth


StarUp228

https://i.redd.it/zftx8hfslj3d1.gif


nek0baby

i have her cutie mark tattooed on my hand, i think that says it all


Esorial

Smells like wet animal fur.


GurlB0ner

Fluttershy will always have a place in my heart I remenber being a little kid and being called fluttershy by my friends. It was the first time i didnt felt ankward and bad abt being shy nor got bothered about bullying :)


yomamakinny

My absolute favorite of all time 💞


Mlpxk-pop

I've been binge-watching MLP and I'm on season 7 now. I'm so proud of Fluttershy and how she's grown throughout the show. From being afraid of everything and everyone, and being a pushover, to standing up for herself and the people she loves.


Somerandomguyig25

I honestly love Fluttershy, I really resonate with her struggling to be assertive and stand up for herself, as someone with diagnosed anxiety, and even though Rainbow Dash is my all time favourite, I still love Fluttershy. Much better in pony form though.


KittyKode_Alue

https://i.redd.it/kkhlwk45bn3d1.gif


Thefoxlover16

Best pony and my favorite


l0verarity

shes a repetitive constant character in my opinion there’s no huge development changes and i swear she always resorts back to being the same even when she slightly develops, love her to bits but she’s easy to forget due to her lack of attention on just her in the show


Flutterbatty

She's my waifu and my wife! (Pony version, I don't really care for human Shy or EQG.) I love her so much, unlike anything else in the world! She's been my favorite and been my waifu ever since 2010/20111 or so, when I got into the show. I think about her daily. I have lifesize plushies, cuddle size, and smaller plushies and other custom figures, art, keychains, and other merch of her. My laptop has her cutie mark. I have her bedspread on my bed, and we snuggle every night to sleep. She means everything to me, and I have loved her just as much now (if not more so), as I have in the past 12/13 years of my life that she's been my favorite. I believe that she'll always be the same to me until the day I die. She's also encouraged me in so many ways. I used to be just as shy as herself in S1E1 in the past. I started a wildlife garden of mine, and I have the same dream as she has (starting a wildlife sanctuary, of which I kinda already have one now). Even my favorite color has always been definitively yellow, since as young as I could ever have a favorite. I was kinda obsessed with the color yellow, really (well, not obsessed but REALLY into yellow as a color and everything yellow, like daffodils and yellow tulips). I love animals too, and especially nature. I am an avid hiker and love going on hikes and backpacking trips multiple times each year, and I usually always carry a plushie of her along. Over the years (since I started in 2014), I have hiked well over 1,500 miles with a Fluttershy plush or figure with me (and took photos of her there). And last year, I summited a mountain with a lifesize (well, almost lifesize) plush of Flutterbat because I wanted her to share the experience with me of my first true mountain summit (it was South Sister, Oregon. Third highest peak in the state; we camped at the top). So, she really means a lot to me and I love her so much. She's amazing and words cannot describe her. She's incomparable and one in a billion. Nobody/nopony can even come close to her. Even her flaws, if one can call it that, make her beautiful. I am also amazed at how many people love her and waifu her, and I have so many friends who also strongly waifu her too. But she deserves it–she's that special.


Amazing-Lifeguard641

I like her! I don’t think she’s overrated like I used to. Instead I believe everyone else is underrated and needs more love


Entire_Sorbet_9529

She's my favourite of the main 6. She's a great comfort character for someone like me :')


Bonni_Bon

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique


Darkslayer740

I think Fluttershy is the sweetest of the Mane Six She also has the prettiest eyes out of all of them, too. You'd be able to tell it was Flutter from a far away shot as long as you saw her eyelash line enough. I also like hee design in Equestria Girls I think each were humanized very well, and there looks suited their characters well Fluttershy's design definitely fit her in Equ Girls


LonestarLawyr

Why does Fluttershy seem to forget basic things like, that she can fly? S1:E7 she almost falls down the mountain on the way to see the dragon because she either forgets she can fly or doesn’t realize she could opt to fly. Are they accidentally or intentionally making her bimbo-ish behind the guise shyness? Or is she just so paralyzed with shyness that she can’t function? Thoughts?


SonicSpiderRanger10

I like her a lot. She’s really sweet and it’s endearing and cute how shy and soft-spoken she is.


3cc3ntr1c1ty

Overhyped wallflower.


EspurrTheMagnificent

She's fine ig. Definitely the most boring of the main cast to watch, imo. She can be pretty enjoyable when she's got a bit more spunk/sass or when they use her for more than "I'm shy, don't breath near me or I'll die", but it happens too rarely for me to have an opinion other than "eh". Fluttershy is the definition of C tier for me. She's fine. She exists. She does nothing wrong, but because she didn't really do a lot to begin with. Edit : I'm talking about normal Fluttershy. I don't care enough about EQ to have an opinion on the human one.


Marschaschem

I dislike her tbh. Her pony form mainly. Human Fluttershy never really made me angry or anything.


Steampunk__Llama

I like her, though I find her popularity is pretty overrated. I much prefer how fanworks depict her over her canon stuff, esp in the later seasons, since I find they make her a lot more compelling to me personally. She's def the 'weakest' of the Mane 6 for me, esp in most of her solo eps, but I particularly enjoy her moments as a supporting character rather than a spotlight one, particularly when paired up with Zecora, Applejack and Rarity <3 EDIT: Damn the Flutter stans found my comment ig


CareSubstantial3415

don’t ask me anything about the human forms, i hate them all. but i love fluttershy she’s my pookie


glitterstarfruit

She's always kinda been mid to me. Cute but kinda boring at times. I like her design but maybe she's just too soft for my taste idk.


GayJesus1234

I don’t have any opinions I found her a tad annoying at the start though but then again everyone except applejack was awful at the start of season 1
