  • Where does Rarity grow the most as a character?
    In my fourth video, I take a look at Rarity's motivations and her struggles. Rarity has actually grown on me a lot since I started watching MLP, and I'm hoping that other people can see why. This video took me two days and 8+ hours to make, which actually puts my total at over 40 hours of work if I put all my videos together. Wow....
    The response I have received since starting these projects continues to impress me. After only a week of uploading a video to my channel, I now have over 300 subscribers and 10,000 views. Thank you kindly to everyone who continues to motivate me into making more.

    Not really...Generosity is and always has been part of Rarity's character. It'll be pointless and downright unrealistic (as far as this shows goes) if she or the rest of the Mane 6 never struggled with their element....unless you want a rehash of G3. Rarity probably had to struggle the most with her element which one of the reasons why many people like her. And If I had to describe how many times that Applejack betrayed her element in season one alone, I'll be here all day.

    Good, but Rarity didn't want to manipulate Spike, you know how much she loves gems, and she can hardly hide her emotions so she lost herself in her thoughts.

    The Sisterhooves Social episode really got to me because it made me realize the way I had been treating my niece, Camille was not exactly the best way. She and I were close for awhile, but then I started to get jealous of her and would even exclude her from things. When I saw this episode, it made me realize what a jerk I had been to her. She looked up to me and I pushed her aside. Now, our relationship has been rebuilt and is much better, thanks to this episode. :)

    All of rarities eps are good but i love the moment when she dumps her hair in the trash to keep the secret of the surprise party. It was my introduction to her and it was set up so well. I instantly knew what kind of pony she was

  • @NoArtisticLimitation
    @NoArtisticLimitation 8 лет назад +7

    I see rarity as a pony who has trouble seeing from other ponies points of view. Being autistic, I actually have a lot of trouble with that myself. (Long story short, part of an autistic person's brain doesn't work well - that part is common sense and understanding others) Rarity likes making others feel happy, and she loves being the one who causes that to happen, even if she doesn't go about it the usual way (like me) but on the other side, she can be seen as a selfish pony due to the fact she's generous on her terms, and is willing to compromise others (not WITH others, just compromise others) just to do what she believes as the right thing (*sigh* ... Like me...)
    Is it the right or wrong way of thinking? Not at all! It's just a different way of thinking, and that's what makes her so unique. Each character has their faults, and that's what I like about the show in general.
    Idk, that's just my opinion

    @d.s.a.4394 6 лет назад +2

    There's a Latin video which declares to Rarity as one of the most important female characters in the last years. 😄 🎉
    According to the analysis, She's a deconstruction of two of the most common stereotypes in our culture: the endangered princes and the "Alfa bitch". 😮!!!!
    In any other series, Rarity would be the antagonist who wants to shine over all and doesn't matters if she has to step over everybody, seduce, menace or make destructive critics about the others.
    In MLP (by the other side) Rarity is a smart pony who tries to shine (with her style) and alternates between the two stereotypes to get the best in every situation. Although that, she has so much moments where she shows her big generosity helping to unknown ponys to improve their style, with advices and 1 or 2 free clothes.
    I can't remember if it was in the analysis I saw, but I think Rarity uses her fashion as a way to create an art, to shine and (as you said, my dear Dr) to set a big business.
    MLP has an incredible amount of impressive characters (it would be too long to list them) and Rarity is one of the best designed.
    She's one of my favourites. Specially, with the results of her evolution shown in the latest seasons.

    Dr. Wolf pretty well summed up my feelings toward Rarity as the show progressed. Though she and I are different in almost every way, shape, form, and fashion, she's still alright in my books. It's unlikely she'll ever be my favorite, but she’s still quite enjoyable, and she's (probably) not my least favorite.

  • @Tavion2
    @Tavion2 11 лет назад +1

    She is definitely the biggest surprise in the show. While I cannot relate to her as much as others, I think she's the most interesting. I honestly did not pay as much attention to family issues than you did, but I think it's a valid point.

  • @cryofpaine
    @cryofpaine 11 лет назад +1

    One of her talents is finding gems. She often expresses herself through using them in her dresses. So they are obviously very important to her. Imagine if someone had something rare and beautiful that was your passion - a daVinci, a Ferrari, the captain's chair from the bridge of the Enterprise, etc. - and they planned to destroy it. How would you react? Her natural appreciation for it certainly came across, and she implied how greatful she would be to have it. But that's different than begging.

  • @Tillyard86
    @Tillyard86 11 лет назад +3

    She's biting her hoof because it pains her so much that she wants it. Like I said at the start, the look is just Rarity, that how she is when she sees something she likes, if in fact it may have been mostly because Spike has a crush on her, it was from his perspective after all.

  • @vvolfmann6900
    @vvolfmann6900 10 лет назад +2

    My major problem with Rarity is something which is a mixture of both being insensitive and manipulative... In my opinion, Rarity's major flaw is that she is a bully... not the physical kind, but rather an emotional kind which will use guilt and pressure in order to get her way. She rarely is directly confronted with how this misbehavior is harmful, typically because after having gotten her way she comes to regret it later... Whether that be badgering her friends until she gets their initial reactions to her dresses for them, convincing Fluttershy to model for Photo Finish, getting Spike to give up his birthday gemstone to her, or getting Sweetie belle to leave her alone... Sisterhooves Social is the only instance of her even attempting to learn this lesson, which by the end of the episode she was already back to being argumentative with her sister to get her way until Spike intervenes with compromise.

  • @DarknessnekoProduct
    @DarknessnekoProduct 11 лет назад +2

    However, She doesn't always understand that how she says things and what she says can be manipulative. Which is why, I think, she was genuinely surprised to see Spike give her the gem. And she was genuinely grateful because she actually believes Spike wants to give it to her. Had she simply wanted to manipulate Spike not giving it to her, she would have never been so protective of it when a big bully wanted it. It was her symbol others could be very generous and she is going protect it.

  • @darkvioletcloud
    @darkvioletcloud 11 лет назад +1

    Maybe, if the premise was the same, they could've made Rarity appreciative of Spike's help (like how AJ was), but then he would have maybe destroyed a big dress project she was making and she would've decided that she had enough, and the ending would play out similar to how Spike At Your Service did.
    I don't know. I just wish Rarity had more good moments in Season 3. (But in Games Ponies Play, I liked it when Dash hit the glass ceiling and Rarity was oblivious to it. That was her moment! XD)

  • @generalrendar7290
    @generalrendar7290 9 лет назад +4

    Rarity sits near the bottom for me, still after her improvement. She was ranked 6th but moved up to five after sister hooves social. I find her personality a little grating and in sweet and elite part of her popularity and humor came from her insulting others. It rubs me the wrong way. Now she's a great character and I'd love to have her as a friend but those quirks keep her near the bottom for me.

    Rarity is an interesting character. Like you Dr. Wolf she's grown on me, but there are certainly things I still don't like about her. Ironically, even though she's the element of generosity, Rarity is comparatively the most selfish of the main characters. That's a paradox the I grapple with.

    Forgive me if this comment seems naive, but I relate almost perfectly with Rarity, yes, I agree that Rarity can seem manipulating. But I think she genuinely doesn't mean to do it all the time. Secret of my Excess What we see is that Rarity is showing her deep appreciation for Spike's Beautiful Fire Ruby as an artist, as a gem collector and as yes, of course she wants it because she know's it's value.

  • @Tillyard86
    @Tillyard86 11 лет назад

    She never decides that she wants the gem more than Spike does. Spike is disappointed to let it go but that doesn't mean he didn't think it was the right thing to do, he may not have wanted to do it, but he felt it was right. We all have to make sacrifices sometimes. And as you say, Rarity makes it worth it by kissing him.

  • @cidunate
    @cidunate 11 лет назад +1

    I do like the review. Except one little detail u addded. Rarity in "Secret of my Excess" she did not try to charm her way to steal Spike fire ruby. As a girl i know this because i have just went totally squee over something i love and we can't always control it, we don't always think of it. If Rarity had realized what she was doing, she would have stopped. Its true she was a little thoughtless, but she did not try to charm her way to take it. She's not that selfish and greedy.

  • @cryofpaine
    @cryofpaine 11 лет назад +1

    Actually I think this scene is what makes her likeable. She's real. This isn't just a cartoon character. If it were, there wouldn't be such nuance to the scene. It would be clear exactly what's going on. But in this case, it's open to interpretation. Personally, I see her somewhere in the middle. I don't think she set out to beg for Spike to give her the gem. Rather, she was just following her nature. Her cutie mark is gems. She got it by discovering a cache of gems. (cont)...

  • @Tillyard86
    @Tillyard86 11 лет назад

    In Secret of my Excess she never asks Spike to give her the gem, she doesn't hold at all back in show how grateful he is when Spike gives it to her and Spike gives it up pretty quickly, it Spike hadn't given it up when he did, she probably would have just left it there. Sure she manipulates Spike a little to give it to her, but that's her charicter, it's not bad, that just who she is.

    As odd as it may be, I actually liked Rarity more when I first saw her with sweetie belle, because I then realized she reminded me of my step mom, and our relationship has been like theirs for a long while. I think rarity is a complex and interesting character, who is much like the people in my life. She's a perfectionist who tries to do the right thing but doesn't always knows how yet still tries to be patient and work well in the social standing. A hard thing to do considering her upbringing and social class but I still think she does it well and I can't wait to see her grow more although seeing more development from pinkie, flutter shy and dash would be nice

      DRWolf001 You should really consider getting a degree in psychology then. You seem to have a natural instinct for this, and you could really help a lot of people. I myself have Aspergers Syndrome, and so do several people I know. We often need help figuring out coping strategies and overcoming issues from our upbringing, but it's hard for us to find psychologists who understand our situation and how we differ from both neuro-typical people and those with Autism. Heck, even those who wrote the DSM-5 don't understand us, and labeled us all as Autistic. It can be really distressing and encouraging.

    I agree with BC and yourself that Rarity is one of the better-rounded characters in the show. Though she took awhile to grow on me and I still don't think she's best pony. But there's a lot of serious depth to her character, and Tabitha St. Germaine's vocal work is incredible. Plus Rarity has a tendency to over-dramatize situations, and that's always hilarious. But she really has grown quite a bit over the course of the show, which is more than can be said for everyone's favorite schizophrenic.

  • @welcometothemetaverse2523
    @welcometothemetaverse2523 5 лет назад +2

    I have to disagree that Rarity manipulated Spike into giving away his precious fire ruby. She actually tried to restrain herself from asking for it and simply overstated how much she liked the ruby. Spike gave it to her because he realized that it matter more to her as a possession rather just a snack to him. And she didn't just forget his generous deed, she frequently brought up how much she genuinely appreciated him.

    Perhaps in Sweet and Elite, Rarity doesn't get in trouble with Twilight because Twilight knows how much it means to Rarity to get noticed by the Canterlot elite? And because of this, Twilight takes the high road and tells her that it's okay for her to go to the party that Fancypants was at. Maybe that's why Rarity learns not to forget where she came from, because the interests of the Canterlot can be fleeting, but her true friends will always be there and accept her for who she is.

Twilight was GIVEN WINGS FOR SCREWING WITH THE POPULATION OF PONYVILLE. She clearly can do no wrong which IS a characteristic of a Mary Sue.

No. Rarity in FF was thinking about her sister,but she was thinking about her old sister.

    But she didn't do that to make Spike give it to her, that's just who she is, she just naturally has this charm she turns on when she sees something she likes, and this is likely increased by Spike having a crush on her. Think about it, if her intention were for Spike to give it to her, would she have looked so stunned and been like "wow! I don't know what to say!" when he willingly hands it to her. Also it seemed to me like Spike preferred Rarity to have it.

    Up until 'Rarity Takes Manehattan', I really didn't like Rarity either as a person (pony?) or as a character. I mean, she has her reasons for some of the things she does, but some others are plain selfishness and I think it's terrible to see her get away with them, be rewarded for them, or otherwise have them be cast in any kind of good light. Largely because of what this says about her and her world, and to a lesser extent because of the message this sends to the show's target audience. The episode with her trying to imitate Applejack also ruins what little regard I had for her because it indicates a regression of her development as a character.

      +Dairo512 what people don't understand in suite and elite is rarity's problem ISN'T as superficial as it first looks
      I mean her friends weren't just being informal
      their behavior when they joined the party was flat out EMBARRASSING to both rarity AND THEMSELVES
      they were flinging dirt everywhere, and acting like complete CLOWNS
      seeing rarity turn around and DEFEND them really speaks VOLUMES about how amazing she is

    • @Dairo512
      @Dairo512 8 лет назад +1

      Matthew cass I think Rarity's problem with the "upper class" is the same as the majority of unicorns': they strive for the bad stereotype, and Celestia is having none of it. Consider how Twilight acts despite being raised in Canterlot and personally tutored by Princess Celestia herself. Twilight has no interest in what the bourgeois consider "refinement", whereas smalltown girl Rarity is obsessed with it.
      It would have been in Rarity's best interest to seriously consider what Twilight's behavior and mission indicated of what the Princess class considers most important. I mean, she had a perfect inside source of information on The Royal City and its culture as a *neighbor* (no pun intended) who *loves teaching* and somehow managed to get wrapped up in her own idea of how the upper class should behave. Sad as it is to say, Rarity's dream of learning how to act just like the average upper-class pony is exactly the *opposite* of what Celestia wants for anypony, and Rarity's kind of lucky her friends ruined her "polished shell, rotten heart" dream before Celestia got involved.

    • @matthewcass3773
      @matthewcass3773 8 лет назад

      that's where I have to respectfully disagree
      rarity does not desire the polished shell, rotten heart
      she desires to be accepted, she desires to be the center of attention
      just like RAINBOW DASH
      they didn't "ruin" ANYTHING
      rarity WILLINGLY stood up for them. and I'm sorry, but if my friends behaved in such a manner as the mane six did at a formal gathering, I would be UNDERSTANDABLY embarrassed. It is so much more than a simple superficial goal, it is a test about standing beside your friends when they are behaving in an inappropriate manner to the point of it ruining your own reputation, a test that MANY humans FAIL, and yet rarity passed with flying colors
      I have watched the show over and over again, I know the mane six like the back of my hand
      rarity does not strive for a bad stereotype
      she strives to be a fashionista, she strives to have her business ACCEPTED into the upperclass. and You are saying she is defying the princess's wishes because she likes things that are associated with the upper class? your wording and your concept are insensetive, judgemental, and cold
      you are being judgemental towards someone for ther preferences. Rarity prefers high society, that is her PREFERENCE, she NEVER judges or puts down others and she stood by her friends.

    • @Dairo512
      @Dairo512 8 лет назад +1

      Matthew cass It's kind of hard to argue objective practicality and sense with someone who argues from emotion. Let's discontinue this conversation to avoid any unnecessary hostility.

    • @matthewcass3773
      @matthewcass3773 8 лет назад

      I do not argue from emotion
      rarity has her flaws yes
      but she is her own pony
      she has her preferences, and despite what you're trying to convince me, now, having a simple preference for an upper clas style is not immoral or in need of correction. rarity has CLEARLY demonstrated that, while, granted, she sometimes makes mistakes, she has her priorities straightened out, she is in the moral highground should she prefer "refined" things in her life as she does not judge nor force these things on others

  • @jeramahia123
    @jeramahia123 9 лет назад +1

    I don't think Rarity intentionally charmed Spike. She did charm him, but she didn't expect him to actually give it to her. She was genuinely surprised when he did.

  • @kendracurtis5875
    @kendracurtis5875 10 лет назад

    I don't dislike Rarity. However i agree that sometimes her interests can get the better of her. For example, she loves upper class cities and is into fashion and doesn't like getting dirty or sticky. But that doesn't mean that she will let those things get in the way of her love for her friends and family, as you proved in the video. I'm glad you did one about Rarity as i do see things in her. I love her as a pony and my favorites are her creativity and generous nature. I do think, and im not afraid to say, that she is part of the stereotype of girls but i don't mean that in a negative way. I mean that girls (stereotypes) are usually into fancy dresses and can be very creative, possibly into sewing or design as their hobby. Rarity,however, doesn't really do sewing as a hobby but as a business. Overall, she isn't one of my favourite ponies but i do enjoy her as a character for certain reasons.

    I always liked Rarity, but was disappointed by her stopping Spike from expressing his feelings towards her, even though it looked like the end for both of them in the ep., The Secret of My Excess. I understand her meaning in doing so, but I thought it was the wrong move.

  • @akirasaito1551
    @akirasaito1551 10 лет назад

    I know I might get hated for this opinion of mine, but the one I truly found annoying in Sisterhoof Social was Sweetie Bell. Why couldn't she show more understanding for her sister. She is the one causing trouble, albeit understandable, and she expects her sister to not get mad at her? Why couldn't she realize she was the wrong one and accept that she wasn't helping at all or even cause more trouble than she should? For that, I am on Rarity's side.
