Maud's crippling autism was funny at first, but it's getting old very quickly.
>>
>>26961221
Nah, it's still pretty funny.
>>
>>26961221
It's endearing.
>>
>>26961221
Yeah, it worked for her one episode but as a overextended gag it got quite annoying.
>>
>>26961221
It only works when it's the focus of the episode. This time it was buried under a pretty stupid conflict.
>>
>>26961221
It's becoming creepy. I think she really need help like that poor pony who thought that she's a dog in older episodes. I suspect that her parent's doesn't realise that she's mentally ill.
>>
>>26961252
All of them are fucked up. Pinkie is hyperactive with ADHD, Maud autistic and emotiuonless with childish schosophrenia, Limestone has neurotic anger issues while Marble is incapable of any social interaction or even speech. All of Pie kids should be taken away.
>>
>I'm bored of her personality. Change her into a normal character immediately!
There's no "working" or "not working" when you're talking about her entire character. Just say you hate Maud.
>>
>>26961298
That's what happens when you let a rock choose who you mate with.
For all we know, it's probably paired up cousins just for a quick chuckle.

>>26961303
I just think that's she, as a character, is overused because she's so on-note and boring. It was cute as her debut episode and she didn't have that much if a big role in the Heartswarming episode.
>>
>>26961221
Problem is the gag about Maud treating Boulder like he's alive. The joke is supposed to be that the other characters can't tell if she's being serious or not, but in this episode (and the joke in RR too) completely miss that point all together.

/mlp/ in a nutshell
>>
>>26961340

other aspects of the MLP universe - like the everfree forest or the weather up north - seem to be sentient and alive, right? why can't boulder be?
>>
>>26961221
Agreed. It was okay for one episode but now it's just a gag that's repeated endlessly.
>>
>>26961477
B-but the Twilystick! D-didn't you LAUGH?!
>>
>>26961340
I think both the audience and character in the show think that Maud is just a looney while it will turn out that boulder reall can talk and is alive.

She's a character, not a gag. You might as well say "oh wow, they're doing the Fluttershy joke again!" every time Fluttershy shows fear about something.
>>
>>26961512
No. She's a one-noted character. A gag. Kind of like the Owl pet is a gag and not a character.
>>
>>26961221
Her behavior is creepy, i literally cringed through all of her dialogue.
>>
>>26961503
Thanks anon but we are all pretty familiar with autism, we didn't need another example.
>>
>>26961525
Towards the end of the episode after Maud was given her gift we were shown that she would absolutely give up things for her sister just for the sake of her happiness, not to mention she has various of character traits where in every episode where she is in you can notice small changes in her face

Her voice also very subtle in terms of showing emotions.

Boulder is like plank anon

Oh sure, when we talk about our waifus and plushes it's "normal" bit when maud has a husbando it's "wow her autism is getting annoying"

>>26962283
Most of this board's just memeing and trying to fit in when they talk about that. The thought of putting any care into it past whining "she's not real" is unthinkable and totally absurd to them.
>>
>>26961221
Nah i just believe in the theory that some pones have been cursed to become rocks and that rocks like Tom, Boulder are actual trapped pones
>>
>>26961221
Never cared for her, or Trixie, or Luna, or Sunset Shimmer, or any of the side bitches.
>>
>>26962379
I believe in the theory that some horses have a mental state in where they truly believe something is alive even if its inanimate, some pones include Apple horse (silly pony), Pink horse, and Rock horse, i also believe that some pones are insane and have a low grip on reality, like that one pone that thought she was a dog and barked all the time, and maybe some pones just snap with all the crazy shit that happens all the time, these are just theories though, not 100% proven

If you can remain entertained by and interested in the mane 6 despite how flanderized, predictable, and shoved into everything they are, good for you. I envy that.

>trying to fit in on an anonymous website

Just face it, she has become a fan-pandering-tier meme pony.

It was fun the first time. It has been THREE seasons already. Enough, seriously.
>>
Can Boulder please her sexually?
>>
>>26961221
The new writers overplayed her flat affect in this ep. She's ordinarily a character of fewer words who either speaks with her actions or who Pinkie speaks for. A few scenes with her were good in this ep, but her talking to the extent she did in many places felt weird.

I liked Maud; she's just very stoic and doesn't express herself too much. Was a pretty decent slice of life episode.

Don't forget how he rocks her world.
>>
>>26962665
She would be too similar to Marble if she didn't talk. The gag is that she doesn't display emotions and talk in a monotone way.
>>
>>26962757
but again, it has gotten old. Every episode featuring her is the same.
>>
>>26962682
>2 episodes
You forgot Smooze episode.
>>
>>26962800
Her dissing Discord was the only funny gag with her. Larson was the only one who know how to work with her. Newfag writer of "Maud Pie" and this episode just repeat the same joke like with the owl and her "who?" schtick.
>>
>>26961625
i would love to see a episode where she is tortured like that
but instead of she wanting to go to the bathroom is trying to keep a straigh face knowing what does water do to rocks

She doesn't have to be "funny" to have the right to show up. Do you really normally burst out laughing from every line in this show?

It even gets pretty funny sometimes, depending on how hard they're trying
>>
>>26961221
It was never "funny" you retard.
It was never interesting, well written, in character or anything substantial. Just another horrible ass character made to pander to autistic bronies.
>>
>>26963426
At least somebody cares about you then.
>>
>>26961221
She's not autistic.

Boulder is alive.

What? Sentient animals and talking magical horses are fine but you can't accept the idea of living rocks?
>>
>>26962682
For an one-note character like her, yeah that's overused.
