Patton was terrific as Quibble, and having the character be constantly questioning all the adventure tropes throughout the episode kept things funny and interesting. I also found his introduction hanging out with Dash to be really cute. If that ain't a viable ship, I dunno what is.

Nailed it.

If it was ever a ship I think it got torpedoed as soon as he launched into his spiel about how he hated the new Daring books.

...and then 'Dash goes home to blog on Tumblr about this jerk she met at the con whereas this guy's been around so long and seen so much and realized a body pillow being sold at a convention isn't really that big of a deal in the long run because there are so many more important things to worry about, and he's just trying not to judge the small stuff.

For a moment there I didn't parse the actual meaning of that little GIF and instead just read it as being like a spoiler bar or an asterix.

Fizzbuzz wrote:I don't think Quibble Pants being annoying was necessarily a mark against the episode itself. I mean, he was supposed to be annoying and not sympathetic, at least at first. Eventually he and Rainbow Dash had to learn to not be so much of a bother towards each other.
I wonder if someone who used to watch the show but became bothered by it at some point would first find Quibble Pants to be the more sympathetic of the two?
