Re: S06E11: Flutter Brutter
But yeah that scene in the forest definitely helped Zephyr's character.

Is Zephyr wearing young Applejack's Manehatten hair?

Other than that it was a great episode though.

Which I'll admit probably explains why I actually found his antics entertaining.

Kind of shocking he doesn't have a Triforce cutie mark.

Mmm, yeah, same. Looks like a couple folks here have a theory about that, but I might need to give 'er another watch before I can say the idea holds water.
Anyhow. You know what I found interesting? Zephyr's kinda both the "antagonist" and the main character of this episode. (Technically that'd make him the "protagonist", but he's not the main character of the show in general, so I dunno what to call him actually). The whole thing's all about him and his personal growth. Fluttershy and RD are a little more... "side character"-y? But at the same time, we're obviously supposed to see Zephyr (at the start of things, at least) as a jerk. He might be the central character, but we're not really supposed to be rooting for him (til later on). That being said, he's still a pretty entertaining jerk. The voicing adds a lot to that. But yeah. I'm not sure a "problem character"'s gone and overshadowed the Mane 6 before.
Also, off topic, just because I need to vent: Over on another site, I made an argument about canon not mattering in MLP (you know the endless argument about if the comics/books/etc. are "canon" or not?). Now, you may not agree with me, but that's not the point; The point is, I think it was a pretty reasonable argument. But here's the thing. I finished it off by saying how at the end of the day MLP's for 8 year olds. These two guys, without responding to a single dang thing I said, latched on to that one line, misunderstood it and decided that I was trying to be "edgy", and that it wasn't worth trying to argue with "people like that".
