Tenth page of the comic! I hope you’ll like it! Also, here’s an extract of the description of the comic directly from the first page: “[…] it privileges comedy and somewhere even cynicism even though I based the whole thing on a plot […]. That’s why I let the characters go a liiiitle OOC […], even if it’s something I try to put as little as possibile. And Pinkie Pie doesn’t break the fourth wall, she destroys it and rebuilds it just for the sake of demolishing it again.”.
I haven’t seen the latest episode yet, but I’m not surprised you would say that. I’ve been saying they exaggerate Fluttershy’s personality whenever they get the chance these days. It wasn’t always so.
Dragonshy was great because she had a good reason to think she shouldn’t accompany them: she was deathly afraid of dragons. Phobias affect plenty of people. It made sense.
The kind of stuff the writers pull nowadays is lame.
Given how she reacted in Dragonshy and the latest episode, as long as there’s no threat of her friends or a background firefly Shy would probably take the easiest way out: Giving up.
