Worst My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Characters

The Top Ten

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 the episode Magical Mystery Cure. Her character is known for her intelligence, love of books, and leadership qualities.

I became a fan of twilight when she was a unicorn. But until she became an Alicorn, she became mean and rude. Here are examples, in the movie she almost stole the queen pearl without nova permission and she almost did. Then, she yelled at Pinkie Pie because of the pearl part. The part she didn't tell Celestia she not good of being an actor but instead she told her friends, while she listened the whole conversation, which hurts her feelings. She even banished the crusaders without them explaining to her that they did the right things than the bad ones. Even she told them not to talk to her students ever again! That brought me to hating her character even more.
Fluttershy

Fluttershy is a female pegasus pony from the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which aired from 2010 to 2019. She is known for her gentle and timid personality, and she cares deeply for animals. Fluttershy represents the Element of Kindness in the series.

I agree with this, not to be rude to the Fluttershy Fans. Speaking of the Fluttershy Fans they are ANNOYING. Not all of them but MOST of them, I am trying not to offend anyone here. Fluttershy almost gets her friends killed over her 'shyness' in Dragon Shy. Sure, she saved them but she HID! Oh, but she forgets forgiven for it because she's so 'kawaii' or 'cute'! Her powers with animals is mary sue-ish. People keep on saying how Angel is the bad guy. But actually male bunnies ARE like that. If you don't like Angel you don't like male bunnies. Honestly, I hate Fluttershy. There are LOTS of drawings about her. Don't get me wrong some of them are gorgeous and outstanding! But honestly she's so overrated it actually gets boring and dull. She doubts her own thoughts and let ponies stomp all over her. Heck, if they can stomp all over her so can I.
Diamond Tiara

Diamond Tiara is a female school-age Earth pony and a minor antagonist who first appears in Call of the Cutie. She is portrayed as a snobbish and often bullying character in the early seasons of the show. She and Silver Spoon are classmates of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

I'm partially not perturbed by Diamond Tiara's antics as she is young. And being well known in the community makes her the easiest target for such ridicule. If anything, the number one spot is more akin to Garble or Hoops who may have had more experience. But we wouldn't know that because they're one note bullies! That's not to say I'm defending her. She's a one-dimensional character with unknown quarrels against the CMC, we know nothing of her personal life and she has no aspirations! Exploit this, writers! Back story, new character traits! You don't have to make her the nicest pony, but it would be great to know how she operates!
Prince Blueblood

Prince Blueblood is a royal male unicorn pony from the American-Canadian animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He lives in Canterlot and is the distant nephew of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, as well as the cousin of Princess Cadance. Initially, he is the object of Rarity's affections... read more

He is a jerk on so many levels. He is vain, selfish, and rude. He uses Rarity as a shield, treats her like a pushover, and insults Applejack's food after she gives it to them for FREE! "Royal Pain" is too kind to call him. If I were Rarity, I would've left him and gone to Spike, because he doesn't deserve the title of being a Prince.

Words can't describe how much I hate Prince Blueblood. He is selfish, rude, vain, stupid, and self-centered. He only cares about himself and his looks. He should be called Prince Jerkblood, if you ask me. He treats Rarity like dirt and insulted Applejack's food. Rarity should have called him something MUCH worse than "Royal Pain." Prince Jerkblood is my most hated MLP character.
Silver Spoon

Silver Spoon is the second in command alongside Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon is actually a character that I like. My top 10 reasons why. 10- She is loyal to Diamond Tiara, except in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. 9- She isn't as bad of a pony as Diamond Tiara. 8- She doesn't bully the crusaders in every episode that she's in. 7- She isn't that annoying in the show. 6- She's actually friendly to some characters in the show. 5- She is very optimistic to Diamond Tiara. 4- She turns good in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. 3- She's caring, to Diamond Tiara by trying to cheer her up, but it doesn't work. 2- She was the first on to applaud after Granny Smith's story in Family Appreciation Day. 1- She's not a doormat of Diamond Tiara, because she finally stood up to Diamond Tiara in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. My top 10 worst characters ever. 10- Gilda 9- Queen Chrysalis 8- Film and Flam brothers 7- Nightmare Moon 6- Discord 5- Angel Bunny 4- Meanie Pie 3- Spoiled Rich 2- King Sombra 1- Diamond Tiara. That's the end of my bias opinions. Goodbye!
Tirek

Wow. Season 4, you are the worst season of the series so far. Even Gilda is better than Tirek. And she sucks. I think the reason he sucks is because he has a dumb motivation. Luna wants to be appreciated, Discord just wants a friend, Chrysalis needs to feed her hive, Tirek... wants power. He just wants power. He goes through no real character development, making him one-dimensional and bland, and despite his awesome design, he sucks. He's like Sunset Shimmer: they both started out as bland potato bags. The only difference is that Sunset started bad but got good. Tirek started bad... and stayed that way.

I dislike Tirek. He was taken from G1 but obviously did something much more child-friendly. He would have been 3 spots up in my opinion if her turned the ponies into dragons like in G1
Rainbow Dash

Rainbow Dash is a female Pegasus pony from the animated television show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, which premiered in 2010. She represents the Element of Loyalty and is one of the six main characters featured in the series.... read more

Screw Rainbow Dash! She sucks. She's an overrated showoff who everyone likes just because she said 20% cooler. She cheated by flying against Applejack (who even pointed out she was flying... Get Applejack off the list! )
She complained about the dress even though Rarity put her heart and soul into the dress.
She still made fun of Fluttershy even when she was scared.
She is an annoying showoff who saved the town and took advantage of the towns gratitude and became an overly annoying jerk.
She replaced her best friend, Pinkie Pie, with a random party planner who showed up in Ponyville which almost made Pinkie leave Ponyville!
She called Twilight an egghead when she started to enjoy reading as well. Shouldn't the mane 6 be mocking her and laughing at her?
Honestly I wish Rainbow Dash was right under Fluttershy. Applejack deserves someone fair to play against and I think Rainbow Dash doesn't deserve the element of loyalty. Her element should be the element of rudeness.
Rainbow Dash should be cut from the show along with Fluttershy in my opinion.
Snips

How come Snips is this far up but Snails, who is basically his sidekick, is all the way down there? Either put both of them up here or both of them down there; make up your minds!
Plus, in their defense, they're just kids. Trust me, real life boys their intended age are idiots as well. I think they're funny characters, but that's just me. Everybody's entitled to an opinion.

What a character:
*Unleashes wild animal into a sleeping town at nighttime.
*Expects his idol (Trixie) to fight a huge bear for his own amusement.
*Almost gets Trixie killed by the bear, and shows little to no interest in her safety.
*Gets a slap-in-the wrist punishment.
*Gets treated as a good friend by everyone, for no apparent reason.
A Karma Hoodini, with no redeeming traits.
Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie is a major character in the 2010 show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She is based on the G1 character Surprise. Pinkie Pie represents the Element of Laughter and is known for her high energy, sense of humor, and love for throwing parties.

Pinkie Pie is far too hyper and energetic for some of the fandom. I get that, but why is she on the list? Better question: why are any of the mane six on the list? They are the main characters after all. Either way I also dislike Pinkie Pie she's far too hyper for some of us like me. She acts like she's a filly all over again. I get that her main goal is to make ponies laugh but she tries too hard. WAY too hard. In the episode where they introduce Cranky -- I absolutely HATED Pinkie Pie she tries to talk to someone who CLEARLY doesn't want to talk to anyone and wants to live a quite life, she bothers him until he just gets mad at her. Pinkie Pie doesn't get much character development and sometimes she just feels like the writers just use her for comedic relief.
Angel

Angel is more of an abusive husband towards Fluttershy. The worst part is that he knows he can get away with being a jerk because he's using Fluttershy's kind nature as his shield. He's the whole reason Fluttershy secretly has repressed rage. His name is even played for irony.
"... Into the bunny fire you go."-Fluttershy (FIW)

I stopped watching MLP after season 4 but still remember what an annoying, selfish, bratty, evil, greedy, demanding, petty, lazy, uncompromising, insufferable little ball of fur manufactured straight from the depths of hell this poor excuse of a companion for Fluttershy vermin he was.

The Newcomers

?
Sludge

He's a liar, I thought he was really Spike's dad!

He's a jerk and is lazy all the time.
?
Cozy Glow

Here are a few reasons why I consider her to be one of the worst villain of the show:
1. She's basically a kid. How in the heck is she going to be able to rule Equestria?
2. The "big twist" that she was the true villain of the Season 8 finale was lame because you could obviously tell she was evil in her first appearance.
3. Even as a comical character she falls flat. Everything she does is either stupid or obnoxious.

I love and hate her. I just don't like the idea of a child doing all of what she does even when shown kindness by her peers. However, I think the whole acting nice, actually manipulating thing is a interesting villain concept.

The Contenders

Gilda

Gilda is a reformed antagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She first appears in Season 1, Episode 5, Griffon the Brush-Off, where she is the main antagonist. Gilda makes brief cameos in Season 3's Magical Mystery Cure and Season 4's Equestria Games.

I don't know why I am commenting on this. But I can give a good reason.
Not just as a character is she bad, her writing, voicing, and look is bad. Her writing for one is some of the most annoying slang from the 90's and 80's that we would of rather forgotten existed, she said lame so many times if you made it a drinking game you would be dead, and her forced voice was annoying, sometimes her actor broke out of it.
Now as writing, as a "villain" she was just bad and pointless, there was no reason to have her in the show. There were so many easier ways they couldve danced around the episodes topic in hand.
All in all, Gilda takes the cake of worst MLP character and one of the worst cartoon characters period. Bad episode, bad character.
Derpy

Derpy Hooves is a female Pegasus character from the 2010s animated television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She is characterized by her crossed eyes and clumsy behavior, which has made her a fan favorite. Her role within the show includes working as a mail delivery mare in Ponyville.

It's not that I hate Derpy, but I think all the fans go too crazy about her. Sure, she's kinda cute, but come on, why is she all of a sudden a million bronies' favorite of all time pony?!
She is a background character, people! Think about it. How many times has she appeared on the screen? Like, in three episodes or something! Overall, I like Derpy okay, but I just don't like how bronies get obsessed with her, so, no, I don't really like Derpy. Deal with it.

From what I believe, this scavenger hunt about Derpy has gone on long enough. Anyone who became a brony, probably after season 2, probably didn't know about this whole Derpy Hooves, and was practically forced to know her because if Derpy is seen during an episode, they'll mention it all over. That's why Derpy has my vote for worst character ever.
King Sombra

King Sombra, or simply Sombra, is a major antagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He appears as the main antagonist in the Season 3 premiere, "The Crystal Empire," and the Season 9 premiere, "The Beginning of the End." Sombra is a male, initially-umbrum unicorn and the former tyrannical ruler... read more

What is wrong with you guys!?!?
He is the best villain of MLP. (Maybe even one of the best characters in MLP)
He has a very deep and a sensitive character if you read the comic FIENDship is magic issue #1.
Then he is inspired by the one of the greatest villain that has ever been created Souron.
He has the coolest OC.
And like the best origin I ever heard from a villain in my life! (Inculuding things outside of Mlp universe)
And he is smart and powerful.
What more can you want from a villain like this!?!?
If you are not agreeing with me it's your loss then? (and you are probably a very annoying person.)
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Or you will pay!
Spoiled Rich

Spoiled Rich is a character in the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She is the mother of Diamond Tiara and is portrayed as status-conscious and influential within Ponyville's community. Her character is often used to highlight themes of class and social behavior in the... read more

Diamond Tiara is unbearable. Until Crusaders of the Lost Mark when we learn that she is like that because of her horrible, horrible mother. Really, all you need to do is just look at her design. If that won't convince you, then just constantly remind yourself of what her name is. Spoiled Rich is not a name I expect a nice person to have.

I do not blame Diamond Tiara for anything anymore. It was her stupid, stuck-up, mother who is to blame. Diamond just wants to be a better pony and actually have friends but she doesn't know how to change until the CMC show her! Not only does her terrible mother call the Crusaders "Blank Flanks" she yells at her daughter for not being re-elected for class president! Seriously, instead of being reassuring and kind to her daughter she screamed in her face about status and how she couldn't believe she lost to that "transplant from Trottingham" of which she was referring to Tip who did win. Honestly, you didn't even have to read my whole entire super long post to get an idea of Spoiled Rich's personality. Just reading her name will tell you all you need to know about that spoiled brat! A terrible mother and pony in general! I suddenly feel so bad for poor little Diamond Tiara who has to live with that awful pony! 😕
Rarity

Rarity is a female unicorn pony from the 2010 animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She represents the Element of Generosity and has a strong passion for fashion. She owns the Carousel Boutique, where she designs and creates stylish clothing.

Clearly Rarity is worse character because she triggers some brony's memories of being rejected by a girl they liked.
Other then that I guess she is too funny, too well voice acted and has too many good lines and moments that you laugh with her and laugh at her.
"But she's a drama queen" So are Twilight, Rainbowdash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. At least Rarity does it for laughs.
"She not generous" Except she is and more so then anyone else in the show. The few times she's not it is the same amount of times the other 5 break their elements too.
"But she was bad in that one episode" The other 5 had their episodes with the idiot ball. In short, cherry picking.
"Manipulative" You mean basic social interaction? You want examples of manipulative try Trixie, Flim and Flam and any other minor antagonist. Saying nice things to a friend isn't manipulation when you mean it.
Button Mash

He was one background character. Good to know you can ship one off characters that don't talk with main characters now, I was worried.

Button is 1 of the best characters even though the only words he said were vote for pip in crusaders of the lost mark episode buttonmash we will be with u.

He actually only made a cameo in slice of life and people hate him that much!? Wow. I am flattered.
Princess Celestia

As the ruler of Equestria, she is depicted as wise, benevolent, and possessing powerful magic. 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... read more

Ok, she hardly helps at all. But that's because she wants Twilight to learn, how is Celestia supposed to help without the elements? We can't presume that she has strong magic without the EoH because she can raise the sun. She is awesome though, people only hate her because she banished her sister to the moon. Guess what? Luna was not hesitating to keep it as night forever, and that would kill all life, flowers, ponies also need sunlight for vitamins. I think that Celestia done the right thing by banishing Luna. At least she does slightly more than Luna herself, I think Luna is a bit useless, she is a good character though. Luna can manipulate dreams which is pretty cool though.
Svengallop

At least Diamond Tiara was redeemed. At least Angel Bunny is able to put his attitude away when necessary. There is absolutely nothing good that can be said about Svengallop.

I despise this guy. He along with spoiled rich is now my most hated character I've seen on the show ( even worse than diamond tiara and angel bunny).

No good can come to a guy who over works Pinkie Pie... He was probably bullied as a kid for having pink hair...
Scootaloo

I feel so bad for Scootaloo. She's the least popular Cutie Mark Crusader, and look up her name with "cute" at the end of it and you find very few pictures. Weird enough, though, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom get all the glory and love. Scootaloo deserves better, I spit on this list.

Why... Why is she here?
She's a great character and I feel that she really shows what it's like to look up to someone (RD); there are times you'll be cocky and times you'll doubt yourself. Also she's the best CMC to be honest, Sweetie Belle has like no character and Apple Bloom can get annoying...
Opalescence

I fail to see why people immediately get hateful towards any character that is not completely perfect. Opalecense is funny in my opinion, and is pretty similar to a regular cat. Though she can be annoying sometimes I think that is just who her character is supposed to be: a spoiled kitty who is in some aspects similar to her owner.

Easily the worst character in mlp. And why the heck is DT and FS on top 2, it makes no sense, also, if a character is not perfect these days, people would hate on them.

I don't like her, but does she even count? She's hardly in the show, anyway.
Flurry Heart

I hate her so much! She is SUPER annoying and obnoxious, and she makes me want to cover my ears! The only cute thing about her is her hair! Otherwise, she is ugly! I HATE this abomination!

I don't know if it's just the fact that I hate babies, but flurry is insufferable to me. Maybe it'll be better once she grows up, but as it stands I can't even tolerate her.

Almost caused the fall of the Crystal Empire. Why is no one acknowledging this?
Applebloom

AppleBloom or should I say AppleBOOB is spoiled and whiny! She wants to have everything but when she doesn't get it she throws a hissy fit and gets her two slaves to help her! Like when she didn't want Granny Smith to come to her classroom so she wouldn't be laughed at. That's pretty mean in the fact that she's a senior citizen. AppleBloom also says pegisai are dumb. Poor Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! So basically, AppleBloom is a whiny brat, and she deserves to be a blank flank.

I don't like Apple Bloom because she called Scootaloo (my favorite CMC) a chicken! I honestly don't like characters that insult my favorites. So I'm sorry to say but, Apple Bloom is a jerk. They should replace Fluttershy with her on this list. I'm sorry if I'm offending you Apple Bloom fans, I'm just giving my honest opinion, I still like you, even if you love the pony I hate so much. Brohoof /)
Cranky Doodle Donkey

It seems like the writers didn't know what to do so they made this donkey
Trixie Lulamoon

Trixie Lulamoon is a female unicorn pony and traveling magician. She tends to speak in the third person and refers to herself as "The Great and Powerful Trixie." She is a recurring character in the animated series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Definitely the worst overrated character in the show, actually the only one from which I can say that I really dislike. Her Character shows no sign of good traits and everyone worships her anyway due to a fanfic or most commonly due to her design. When you look at her character and evalueate him corrctly without making stuff up you will see a character who is narsistic cynical and possesses no sence for rightcousnes.

Even if Trixie starts making up and becomes a friend from now on, I STILL won't forgive her! Like other villains, Trixie is also unoriginal and cliched! Her only strength is being a stage magician as well as her appearance and voice, but that's all there is.
Owlowiscious

I miss Owlowiscious. Twi's house was burned down and Owlowiscious flew away. It's so sad we will never see him again.

I think he's cute. Stop being mean to him. He didn't do anything wrong.

Don't be mean to the poor owl. I think he is adorable.
