Most Overrated My Little Pony Characters

The Top Ten
1 Rainbow Dash Rainbow Dash is a female Pegasus pony from the 2010 kids' show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She represents the element of loyalty and is one of the six main characters on the show.

Her name is composed of "Rainbow" (referring to the color of her mane, the sonic rainboom she performed, and her previous occupation as a weather pony) and "Dash" (referring to her love for flying and her... read more

You see the cripple dance
Pay your money, baby
Now's your chance
Eyes like cyanide
I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever
I've had enough
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground
Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin
And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Withering
And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's…

I mean rainbow is so loved by the fandom for some reason I just don't get it,she kinda rude,she pranked a whole town with cruel pranks,she hardly even shows loyalty,i just don't get it,i'm not saying I completely dislike her but the fans treat her like shes some kind of messiah when shes just so self centered.

I don't get why people like hr so much, her fans treat her like a godess and all she does is say "i'm cool! " and "20% cooler! "
I don't hate her at all.
It's what she said in "Fame and Misfortune", 'I can't even go to the bathroom without someone tryna tell me how cool I am! '

2 Derpy

I really don't understand what all the fuss is about derpy. Sure, she is cute, and it is impressive how the pony who started as an animation error is now famous, but...

How can this freak is OVERRATED! She is not special at all. She is so CLUMSY! SO CLUMSY until she can destroy things. Sometimes she can't fly properly!

Literally famous for an animation error

3 Princess Luna

Luna is so overrated. Geez, poor Celestia doesn't get enough love. Luna might think Celestia is more loved than her, but actually it is the other way round. I don't hate Luna but yes, she is overrated.

Luna is very overrated. I can't see the reason why. She seems to be very distant and angry instead of loyal or kind. Why do bronies are hating on Celestia for helping her subjects?

Why do the Bronies hate on Celestia for not helping in certain situations but never criticise Luna for not helping with the changeling invasion?

4 Discord Discord, also known as the Spirit of Disharmony, is a former-antagonist-turned-supporting-protagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Excellent villain, absolutely terrible supporting character

Named after a social media site. Really?

5 Fluttershy Fluttershy is a female pegasus pony from the 2010-2019 animated TV show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is a kind pegasus and is very timid and shy. She takes care of the animals. She represents the element of kindness

Fluttershy used to be an underrated character, and because of that she became the most overrated character in the series to this day. That is why I think Fluttershy is the most overrated character, probably even more overrated than Rainbow Dash.

She is WAY too overrated! I don't even think she's cute!

6 Lord Tirek Lord Tirek (simply known as Tirek) is one of the main antagonists of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. He is a demonic centaur with the power to drain the magic and abilities out of other creatures, particularly ponies. He is Friendship is Magic's incarnation of Tirek; the first villain of the original series.

I don't think that he is the most bad

7 Babs Seed
8 Silver Spoon
9 Dr. Hooves

Doctor Hooves is a pony version of Doctor Who I believe. Because of that, he's kinda overrated.

What is doctor hooves?

10 Twilight Sparkle Twilight Sparkle is the primary main character of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She is a female unicorn pony who transforms into an Alicorn and becomes a princess in Magical Mystery Cure.

In several instances, she has been rude/too perfect. Such as:

1. Disowns her friends in the MLP movie.

2. Barged into the wedding of 'Cadence' and Shining Armor without even gathering evidence to claim that Cadence was evil.

3. Treated Spike like crap in Owl's Well That Ends Well.

4. Very pushy in Return of Harmony Part 2.

5. Emotionally abused the CMC by putting up a force field in Ponyville Confidential.

6. Became an alicorn after completing an unfinished spell (which other characters in other shows have done and don't get rewarded).

7. Can be overreactive.

8. Cried because she didn't see the Northern Stars which is bratty of her if you think about it considering she just caught a glimpse of it at the end of the 2nd act in Once Upon A Zeppelin.

But she has her positives too. Such as:

1. Treating her friends like family.

2. Memorable design.

3. Forgiving pony who always apologizes.

4. ...more

She has more fans than Rainbow Dash. every time someone talks about who the best or worst pony is, they always say Twilight is the best and how mostly anyone who isn't her is the worst! It's getting annoying! She's not that great, guys!

Twilight should be underrated which spoils the whole thing she is always the main character who doesn't really outstand and just give a push to Sunset to be the main character

I HATE HER! She's too overrated and stupid. She does not deserve to be a princess and her wings are ugly. She's rude to Pinkie Pie and she underrates Spike! I want her to get killed by Lord Tirek!

The Contenders
11 Applejack Applejack is a female Earth pony and one of the main characters of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. She lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her older brother Big McIntosh, her younger sister Apple Bloom, and her dog Winona. She represents the element of honesty. ...read more.

She's not even overrated at all, considering she's supposed to be one of the mane six she's actually the most underrated character in the show. The writers mess her up all the time and doesn't even care about her fans. The writers and bronies made me give up the show because they'r unfair and cruel. I sort of miss the show and wish is got better, but I can't get myself to watch it anymore as it makes me sad instead of happy. Bronies are jerks for not understanding and going against me on that! What if THEY were in my shoes? Would a show that's unfair against your favorite character be enjoyable? I don't think so!

Applejack is nowhere NEAR overrated. She is the most underrated of the Mane 6. She definitely needs more love.

Applejack is overHated, not overrated. Looks like people don't know the meaning of the latter.

12 Hoity Toity
13 Princess Celestia Friendship is Magic." As the ruler of Equestria, she is depicted as wise, benevolent, and possessing magical powers. Princess Celestia raises the sun and governs alongside her sister, Princess Luna. Her mentorship of Twilight Sparkle is a central element of the show's storyline, emphasizing leadership, friendship, and responsibility.

The idea of a solar deity ruling over mortals was always interesting. However Celestia has spend most of the series with little relevance to the plot, minimal dialogue, and few interactions with other characters.

She gets a lot of praise by fans, but she has not been fleshed out as a character.

She should be on top 10! She maybe a nice characters but the fanbase treat her like devil. - Dandere Dev

She's the most overrated stupid character ever!

14 Sunset Shimmer Sunset Shimmer is a female unicorn pony-turned-human and former antagonist introduced in My Little Pony Equestria Girls. She is a student at Canterlot High School, a former student of Princess Celestia, and a rhythm guitarist for the student band The Rainbooms.

Likeable, but FAR too much attention from both the fandom AND the writers.

I hate her! She is ugly, dumb and a jerk. She has an unlikeable personality with the worst style

She is ugliest one

15 Tempest Shadow

She was intimidating for a while, but then it got old because she had no real personality. When they finally did something with her, she turned out to be every sympathetic MLP villain but worse. Her tragic backstory is not that tragic and she's too evil to be sympathetic. Zuko never enslaved an entire country and that's part of why he's a good character. But tempest shadows introduction is her doing just that.
And as for her redemption arc: What redemption arc? She just suddenly becomes good because the storm king betrayed her. That doesn't even make sense. Her problem is that she thinks you shouldn't trust anyone. Being betrayed will just make them worse.
She's not emo, though. She never actually broods. Her tragic backstory isn't even that important as her motivations are just fine without it. Her horn is broken and she wants it fixed. Being ostracized by others is extremely unimportant for this.
Also, it would be so easy for the writers to simply imply that she received ...more

Ignoring her stereotypical emo pony demeanor, we've gotten next to nothing about her motivations beyond being bitter towards other ponies for rejecting her due to her horn when she was a filly. Not to mention that that comes dangerously close to another certain evil unicorn with a painfully weak-sauce backstory who wasn't very well-received once that backstory came to light. Its never even brought up whether or not her horn gives her any trouble with magic, and if twilight's comment about it at the end is anything to go by; the perceived problem is just how it looks. Not even a handicap; ITS HOW IT LOOKS THAT'S APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM. And again, too much of her backstory is missing for me to rationally make the connection between her backstory and her being such a bitter douche-bag.

Some people find Tempest the best character in the MLP movie,but honestly I didn't find Nothing interesting on her.

16 Derpy Hooves Derpy Hooves is a female Pegasus from the 2010s kids show My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic. She is described as dumb and clumsy. Her occupation is a delivery mare.
17 Starlight Glimmer Starlight Glimmer is a recurring character, initially an antagonist, in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She first appears in the season 5 premiere, The Cutie Map. From The Cutie Re-Mark - Part 2 to Celestial Advice, she is Twilight Sparkle's student in the ways of friendship.

Sometimes I find it extremely weird (in a negative way) and upset that starlight has casted more powerful spells than twilight in the show, who is ironically both a princess and an alicorn and should be a lot more powerful compared to starlight. Hell, starlight even (kinda) killed discord with a seemingly simple spell when the main six had to use the elements of harmony to defeat but only imprisoning discord. Even though she is being taught magic by twilight, unicorn magic has its limits, while an alicorn should have a much larger range of magic spells compared to a normal unicorn, since alicorns are the literal ‘gods’ of the mlp universe. I don't know I just think it doesn’t make sense and seems unfair to twilight. Just my opinion though:/

Worst written and most overrated character ever, I don't understand how a character like her can be so popular.

Twilight Sparkle is better and has more powerful magic than Starlight Glimmer.

Well she's better than Twilight.

18 Gloriosa Daisy
19 Button Mash
20 Sonata Dusk (Equestria Girls)

I'm really not sure if Sonata is overrated or underrated.

21 Pinkie Pie Pinkie Pie is a major character in the 2010 show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, based on Surprise from My Little Pony G1, She represents the element of Laughter.

Pinkie Pie, downright, needs to be #1. I'm not saying she's a bad character, but everybody thinks that Pinkie Pie is the best character, which is why I don't like her as much. Not to mention she can be pretty annoying at times.

All of her jokes have been done better on other shows. She's also the same character since episode 1. How is she not higher?

Discord is better

22 Rarity Rarity is a female Unicorn pony from the 2010 Animated Television Series My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic. She is the element of Generosity and her main passion is fashion.

She has the second most fanart on deviantart after Fluttershy, is always talked positively about wherever I see no hate of her anymore. That's being overrated and she's this far down? I agree she used to be underrated, but she's pretty overrated lately. She should be in the top 10, but not in the top 3 because with her being nice unlike her character type usually is she deserves a lot of love. But many of her fans can be a bit hypocritical against Applejack fans, back when Rarity was underrated her fans complained and how they bash on Applejack fans now makes them hypocrites.

She's so overrated she wasn't even on the list. People are always talking about her in the positive way and her voice actress is ALWAYS praised for voicing her. People behave as if she's the most underrated character ever when she's really not, but she's not as overrated as Twilight and RD of course. She's on par with Fluttershy in ORness.

Rarity being so far down on the list only proves how overrated she is. She is the second with most art on the and most people have something positive to say about her.

This even proves how overrated she is, Rarity has the most fanart on deviantart of all ponies, Fluttershy isn't first in that regard anymore.

23 Princess Blue Dream

Worst of worst. Enough said.

24 Diamond Tiara Diamond Tiara is a female school-age Earth pony and minor antagonist who first appears in Call of the Cutie. She and Silver Spoon are classmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Her character in a nutshell would be that she is the Serena (from Pokemon) of Friendship is Magic. >8(
