Dear Sunset Shimmer,
You are an overexposed piece of nutty fecal matter. You manage to steal the Element of Magic, having learned that it can be weaponized, and instead of stealing it again when monkey-world Flutterbutt gets her mitts on it, you try to win it fair and square, you stale-urine soaked meat-head. Given Twilight did the same thing, at least she has the excuse of being a good guy; you just didn't want it bad enough.
Yours sincerely, Discord
That has been bothering me, actually. Sunset's big plan was to conquer the world by using the element of magic. Presumably, she knew there'd be casualties. She could have just gotten a gun and TAKEN the damn thing.
And yes, I know that she's a teenager in EQG. There're still plenty of ways for her to get a gun.
And how did Shimmer even get into the mirror? It was located in the Crystal Empire which was banished prior to her turning petulant and..
The more I dig at that movie, the more SAN points I lose.

The mirror thing I just attribute to being relocated at some point; maybe a parting gift from Celestia or something?

Checking back.. It was kept in the Canterlot Throne room. Then sent to the Empire for safekeeping. And Celestia neglected to tell Cadence to actually keep the interdimensional portal safe.
THIS MAKES EVEN LESS SENSE! Celestia needs to contact the SCP Foundation and ask for a manual on their protocols on how secure, contain and protect incredibly dangerous things.

A cameo doesn't make much room for personality. I mean, people like him just because he exists, not because they like his personality, or because of something he did... the only reason I can think of for people to like him is that he makes for obvious shipping material for Twilight. His existence without that is a moot point.
4293334 Ok, now it works . Also, just make sure to give the artist credit here and in the future for new stories.
EQG didn't really make much sense... at all.
Don't be mad at me if you like the movie, that's just my opinion...
4293801 But he plays a guitar! How can you not love a guy who plays a guitar!
4296834
Of course he plays guitar.
They wanted him to have that 'perfect boy' image.
That very image is what disgusts me; you like a character for their perfections, but you love them for their quirks and flaws.
Flash is just your generic squeeze.
4296946 I disagree. He's the only guard with an orange coat and a blue mane. That's not generic at all.
4296959
I said generic squeeze - not generic guard.
To be honest, the guards as a whole are more interesting to me than Flash Sentry.
4283493 Oh yeah, I forgot about the alphabetical part. Other than that, that's what the description reminded me of too.
WHY DIDN'T DISCORD INSULT CHEESE SANDWICH?!?
whenever I'm upset I just read one of these; always cheers me right up
He should insult the princesses next.
This amuses me...
I was laughing the whole time
Just saying some of these were a little too mean. But still some were quite funny! Try Nightmare Moon next!

Difference is Flash Sentry makes an attempt at being a foreground pony with background pony level personality. At least with said background ponies, you can use your imagination; with Flash Sentry, he's painted himself as genuinely lacking of a personality. He's like a ponified Ken; he's portrayed as that 'perfect male model' who has a neat car, plays a guitar, and is unrealistically friendly and selfless - he's supposed to be portrayed as perfect, and lacks any quirks whatsoever.
Basically, they tried too hard and made a character that is unlikable; even Flash Sentry's fans only like him as shipping potential and will often give him traits that defy his 'Prince Charming' character setup. You'll not likely see Flash Sentry in any story where there is no hints of a crush or relationship between him and Twilight Sparkle.
