S06E12: Flutter Brutter

Postby Wayoshi (?) » Wed Jun 01, 2016 3:00 pm

When Fluttershy tries to convince her freeloading brother to move out of their parents' house, he moves in with her instead, forcing Fluttershy to stand up to him and help him get over his fear of failure.


This thread is for discussion of the episode. This episode airs at 11:30 AM Eastern / 8:30 AM Pacific on Saturday, June 4!

Official preview clips and images are okay to post, as is speculation about the episode.

Writer: Dave Rapp

I'll be at a convention that day, so I won't see it until later.

I'm looking forward to this, though. This premise sound gold.

Quite possibly. There's a number of ways to go with the degenerate angle, hopefully it won't be too cringy.

Based on Big Jim tweets I think we're also getting Flutterparents too. The next lore ep for Fluts is here.

Maybe they'll expand on Fluttershy possibly liking anime and thus have him be a huge weeaboo.

So, how long before Rainbow Dash's long lost, never before mentioned brother shows up? :v:

Six seasons in and we finally see somebody from Fluttershy's family :-I

I hope it's a younger brother, we don't have any of those yet.

I hope Flutter Brutter is Andrea Libman doing a guy voice.

Or maybe just Flutterguy.

What if this is all leading up to a twist ending, where it turns out that a changeling learned that Fluttershy was estranged from her family, kidnapped and impersonated her brother, then constructed this plot so that "he" could move out and feed on Fluttershy's kindness and hospitality for a while?

Introducing a one off character is kind of a low effort way of builing an episode. I think it's kinda annoying but eh - this is a staple of the show.

:awesomedash: Everypony, I'd like to introduce my brother, Lil' SoAndSo!

:nnngh: I've known you all my life and I never knew you had siblings...

:3: Yeah, well, he fell in between the seat cushions of our cloud couch one day, but he decided to emerge because we were planning on buying a new one.

Not knowing your long time friend doesn't have a brother is more common then you might think. I had this friend for a decade and he didn't know I had a brother nor three additional sisters.

I hope this episode at least goes a bit into how Fluttershy moved to Ponyville. Were it not for the fact that she was from Cloudsdale and thus there was a severe lack of wildlife up there, I imagine she may very well have ended up being much like her brother.

Zephyr Breeze is his name, then. Interesting how he ended up being so tall, much like Fluttershy also looked when she was younger.

Flutterclan living room is spotless and exactly what I would expect. :allears: Bonsai tree! Rainbow lamp shade! Decorative ship's wheel clock! They're all set to be grandparents.

Want to see what Fluttermom's personality is like.

I love Flutterdad already, he's like the Bob Ross of clouds. :allears:

Also, someone (I forget who) posited that Fluttershy is the most assertive person in her family and if that's true it'll make this a great episode.

He seems calm, but internally he's very agitated because someone took his cloud-stapler.

I hate the Gordon Ramsey quote about never trusting fat chefs because they eat all the good bits, and I kind of already dislike Flutterdad for embodying that philosophy.

Well, considering that most clouds manufactured seem to end up getting busted by weatherponies around Equestria once they're no longer needed, I think him preserving the very best clouds is a good thing.

The amount of salt this episode will generate is going to crash the market and put at least one mining company out of business.
