All right. Ever since I can remember, I've always disliked Twilight. I could never put my finger on *why* exactly, until I really started thinking about the predicament -- it's for a bunch of reasons, really. I like writing, so I actually took the time to explain.
Reason #1: She always tries to lead the others in situations that she's just coming along for the ride in, like she has some insecurity about not being in charge or in complete control of the situation, even if *others are* in control of it, or know what they're doing. If she isn't sure about it, simply because she has a lack of knowledge about it, she isn't going to do it, which is pathetic. She also tries to lead others by giving advice involving things that don't even involve her, whether her friends ask her for advice or not -- even when she knows nothing about the situation, she tries to give advice, and then often gets nervous when people don't follow it. You can see a glimpse of this by watching E1 of S1.
Reason #2: She's self-focused. Unlike Rainbow Dash, who (I'll admit) tends to get cocky in certain situations, she gets the *opposite* -- she's not cocky, she's self-conscious (that actually annoys me more), which *is* a form of being self-focused. This happens especially when people give her compliments -- whether she tries to act humble about it or not, she is focused on herself so much that she starts to get embarrassed. She feels it's all about her, and thus tries to compensate because she doesn't like attention.
Reason #3: She is portrayed to always look (and feel!) more mature in normal situations (which is actually silly, because when you take data from episodes of My Little Pony, you can conclude that she is notably the youngest), yet when her little supposed "intellectual" mind gets all hyped up, she goes out of control, high off of emotions only to crash back down to earth and realized how stupid she's been acting the past 10 minutes. She's too unstable to be the "main character" of MLP, because when she's actually faced with situations that she should *use* her head in, she can't use her head, because of her emotions and her endeavors to live in the moment! It's ironic, really -- she tries to hard to stay logical and out of the moment, yet when she fails, she fails completely and indulges so much it hurts. Hmm, I wonder why that is. Even more ironic, she often starts criticizing her friends and peers about the same thing she does here, and thus I proclaim her a hypocrite.
Reason #4: She falsely proclaims she is a scientist. She is not a scientist -- she does everything by the book. Scientists experiment -- she does not. She'd never be able to go out of her comfort zone enough to actually experiment on things that there was already a book on, which I find pitiful. >"I don't believe in anything I can't explain!" Yeah, because that's exactly what scientists do, right?! Honestly, I want to facepalm so hard at this quote. If she didn't believe in anything she couldn't explain, she wouldn't even have an initial hypothesis to even work off of to eventually try and affirm using the scientific method. #LoL
Reason #5: How and why she became princess. >"Today, I consider myself the luckiest pony in Equestria!" The whole deal here was that she had just become a princess, and while having her "royal ceremony", she said that, giving the impression that she considered herself lucky in that she turned into a "princess". I'm going to be mean here and translate this as, "I'm a princess because I'm lucky!" which I consider to be true -- her being a princess is nothing more than luck -- Sunset Shimmer was initially Celestia's focused student, but then she decided to turn "evil", thus making Twilight Sparkle a simple *replacement*.
TL;DR: You wish.
Leaving comments open because I want to hear what others say about this. |

I find her a bit overrated, but not bad.
If there's one Mane 6 character I don't like as much as the rest, It's Rainbow Dash. She's just too.. boastful for my tastes.

Are you going to post that on every MLP thread you find?

The character I don't like very much is probably either Twilight Sparkle or Fluttershy. Fluttershy is scared of every one, and is kind of a wuss. Not very awesome. Twilight sparkle pretty much HAS to be in charge of everything, she can be annoying, etc.
Rainbow dash is my favorite. Rainbow dash is so awesome! Just like me. |

Imo:
Rainbow Dash>Pinkie Pie>Apple Jack>Twilight Sparkle>Fluttershy>Rarity
Also, I changed my mind. Rarity is my least favorite. |

I don't see why people like Rainbow Dash so much. She's WAY too boastful.

Because Rainbow Dash is at the best least 20% cooler than any other pony.
And because of rainbows.
and awesomeness.
and because she's so much easier to watch than Twilight. |

But she's more "boastful" than "awesome"
I'm not calling her bad, heck, she's at least on my top 15, but still.

| I dont exactly hate Twilight, Even over the course of 3 seasons we havent really FULLY seen her true element "Magic" Ever since she became a alicorn all we see is her and the rest following each other. In my list its Rarity> Fluttershy > Rainbow Dash > Pinkie Pie > Twilight > Applejack |
