Jokes aside, this would actually make a pretty good actual proto-Justice League for Man Of Tomorrow before we get the real Justice League.

Also, Mister Terrific and Guy Gardner have only been confirmed to return by the trades, ignoring that photo of Edi Gathegi and Mikaela Hoover together.

Rich or at the very least extremely wealthy.

Rainbow Lasers are cool and I love them, but the idea of Twilight extending a hand hoof in friendship to Starlight to "defeat" her is actually so amazing for a show about friendship.

Did I, less than 24 hours ago, call Prince Blueblood "some random guy with the teeniest bit of royal blood in him"? Yes, I did, yet here I am, in a post titled "In Defense of Prince Blueblood."

You may wonder what happned in those hours, so for a quick rundown, I read a comic with him in it, and I also read some great fanfiction about him, and also just kind of thought about it.

So, Prince Blueblood, in his only physical appearance in the show, was shown as a bitchy, whiny, rich stallion with issues. Among his "crimes":

• He takes a rose for himself instead of giving it to Rarity
• He takes a cushion for himself and doesn't bring one for her
• He expects her to open a door for him
• He expects her to pay for food
• He disrespects Applejack's food to her face
• He uses Rarity's clothes to make sure he doesn't get dirty.
• He uses Rarity as a human pony shield

 

I will attempt to justify and defend Prince Blueblood, because I don't think he's that bad of a guy.

So, Prince Blueblood is just at a party that he's (most likely) socially required to be at due to his status, and then some random Unicorn starts following him around.

Rarity seriously objectified the guy, and it feels like she expects ponies to act a certain way, and when they don't meet her standards that she came up with in her daydreams, she considers them to be bad.

Back to Blueblood's "crimes":

• He took a rose for himself. And? Pony see pretty flower → Pony takes pretty flower.
• Okay, so context is really required for this one. She's just following the pony around, and he's just at a party. He's not with her at the party or anything.
• Rich pony things - Can't really be excused*
• Rich pony things - Can't really be excused*
• Generic Reaction - A bit rude, but still a generic reaction.
• Kind of bad, can't really be excused, but Rarity's idea that he should've used his own clothes isn't good either.
• Literally the only bad thing he did.

The aforementioned fanfiction basically had the idea that he did most of these things so that Rarity would leave, but even though there are other explanations, I feel like for the two marked ones (*), it really works.

Also, Blueblood is an experienced (and competent) diplomat, so that kind of backs up the thing from the fic that the whole bitch thing was an act to shoo away Rarity.

In conclusion, Prince Blueblood isn't that bad of a pony because Rarity started following him around, and he continued as he would at the party, where the only actually bad thing he did was use her as a human pony shield.

The comics were the first time we actually got her name, aside from the script of course.

Flash Sentry being Captain of the Royal Guard is a pretty cool idea, but I don't think it works too well with what very little of him we see in canon.

I love making jokes about MLP. Anyways, best fight scene in the whole show.
