  • Poll Results: Best Pony Psychological Breakdown?

    by Sethisto
    Looks like Twilight Sparkle losing her mind is the most popular breakdown! I have to admit, Lesson Zero has been my favorite episode ever since it aired.  Sonic Rainboom nukes, Fluttershy going wuju-style on a bear, and Rarity's overly dramatic attitude really showed off what this team is capable of when they go all out on a comedy style episode. 

    But I digress!

    This is a little late, so we already have a poll up.  Feel free to ask for new ones in the comments though, I'll find a fun one for after BroNYCon.

      Lesson Zero was where it all started for me. I think I would have become a brony anyway, but I think Twilight's deranged antics during that episode made it happen that much quicker. Granted, I didn't get a look at it until a few weeks after it aired, but once I saw it, there was no avoiding the inevitable.

      Fluttershy's breakdown causes lightning, that's pretty sweet. But I suppose Twilight's is rather amusing and Pinkie's is pretty sad. I don't think Rarity's and Applejack's count though. Rarity just overreacts (as always, but that's why we love her), Applejack's was just part of her normal personality.

      I just wanted to say again how awesome I think it is that you guys used my idea for this poll. I also wanted to say I'm not surprised at the results. It was pretty epic and hilarious seing Twilight lose her mind in that episode. But allow me to try and change some minds out there for those of you who are undecided. Here's a list of things you can't do:
      1. Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyQIO0LcsJs
      2. Tell me you don't wanna give her a hug right now.
      Can't do it, right?

      @archiveit I will concede that Pinkie's breakdown was funny. Nothing says crazy like a party with dust bunnies and such. But there's something about Twilight progressively going bonkers that beats Pinkamena any day. I mean, she got the whole town to go nuts over the Smarty Pants doll. All because she was so desperate for report material. Just my thoughts, which are not necessarily correct. LOL

      The ammount of crazy faces alone made her breakdown the best. But then you add the subtle gesturs like her ear twitching and her teeth grinding, etc. It was just so absurd and comical that it ensured Twilight's spot as my second fav pony.

      I loved Psycho Twilight so much, and just like Pinkie's breakdown I think it made the character that much more endearing. There's something charmingly tragic about the lengths that she pushes herself to meet expectations and how spectacularly it can all come collapsing down upon her when she fails. She's a pony who puts insane amounts of pressure on herself... that it was such a seemingly little thing that broke her seems so apt. Especially when you consider it was her own organizational skills that failed her by forgetting she had a lesson due, and not anything that was entirely out of her control.

      I also think it had the most important Friendship lesson of this season, and perhaps of the show itself... Notice when someone you know is having trouble coping with a situation, and don't let it escalate into tragedy before you're moved to reach out and help. There aren't too many shows that can tackle a subject that includes everything from suicide to school shootings that subtly.

      *Digs out hipster glasses*

      I haven't been in the majority vote since the "Best Stallion" poll. Personal preference pushed me to vote for Flutterage here. In my opinion, that was a better break of character than Twilight's was. I always took Twilight's ridiculously organized personality to be the kind that could easily snap like what we saw.

      Of course, this is not to say that I didn't like Lesson Zero. I've loved every episode of Season 2 thus far.

      @archiveit
      I'm a fan of Applejack myself, but I see where you're coming from. She's a bit too much like Twilight as a (normally) stable character rather than a zany supporting one. It's easier for her to play the straight man (mare) in any group/comedy dynamic.

      I think the toughest thing about spinning off a show with Applejack as the lead is that, out of all of the cast, she seems the one most anchored to the current setting and style of the show. Other ponies you could move to a new location, but after her Cutie Mark story how do you make Applejack leave the farm?

      Not that I'd personally object to simply more of the same from a spin-off, but usually they go for some kind of new setting or set-up.

      I think the next poll should be what fanfic should be adapted into a full-length feature film.

      Applejack is the best pony.

      I think we will see Applejack's breakdown in The Last Roundup.

      Psycho Twilight is best Twilight.

      I like many other episodes of Season 2 thus far, but Lesson Zero is the most entertaining. That mental breakdown was way too much fun for nobody to really enjoy.

      Meh, Pinkie's had more depth. Twilight's was just a parade of funny faces.

      Had to go with Twilight because it entertained for a whole episode. Flutterrage was fantastic, particularly the diabolic laugh, and Pinkamena was cute too. But watching either for 15 minutes would have been sad, rather than funny.

      Love the song poll idea, but we might want to limit the list to the shorter ones. I think we already know Winter Wrap-Up and At the Gala are hits.

      Twilight going mental was pretty hilarious, but I chose Pinkie's breakdown - because that episode made me a brony.

      As if the way TS snapped in s1 ep10 wasn't bad enough already...

      Lesson Zero was a rather bizarre experience for me, having to watch the character I most identify with becoming deranged. It certainly didn't help that I myself was stuck on an assignment when the episode was released. 0_o

      Nonetheless, the absurd nature of Twilight's mental breakdown had me laughing like a mad man. (Damn, I'm mean.) Naturally, I had to go with PsychoTwilight on this one. Lesson Zero FTW
