Maud is beating Cheese Sandwich out now. I'm surprised anyone would rank a stoic near-emotionless girl with a muted color scheme over Weird Al ponified and the cutest little mare ever, but I suppose them's the breaks. Being Pinkie's sister may have helped.

@Star Can't say about "attractive"... in the comics he was kind of meant to be somewhat of a loser and kept being overshadowed by Peter in his friends's eyes, potential lover's eyes, and especially in his father's eyes.

That's his entire schtick, to be ineffective at what is imposed upon him. He can't be virtuous and good like Peter, but he can't be evil and ruthless like Norman. Not fitting the standards he feels he's supposed to fit is his entire tragedy.

I guess at the very least they didn't go with the stupid Hulk-Goblin setup. What the fuck was Bendis thinking.

@Lumious No I don't mean like in personality but in appearance basically. I dunno maybe I'm just used to his appearance in Spectacular Spider Man I guess. They had a Hulk-Goblin get up there? Oh jesus christ....

Plus, Maud works well as a character in just about any situation, providing good comic interactions. Coco, Seabreeze, and cheese to a lesser extent are tied to those episodes specific plots, and it's hard to come up with new situations for them.

Most of them are earth ponies, interestingly enough.

@Luminosity, Bendis is a genius and you will take that back sir.

I am completely lacking in the ability to see Coco's appeal. My top three in new Pones would be Cheese Sandwich, Seabreeze, and Maud.

@Mousa Never.

@Starscream Basically the Ultimate Spider-Man comics changed the Green Goblin into an evil Hulk with fireballs. It was as boring and stupid of a decision as you'd expect.

Fixed that fer ya.

Look Starscream, Luminosity doesn't know what he's saying, Ultimate Spider-man is one if he few treasures modern comics has to offer. Read it, but stop at Ultimatum.

[up][up][up][up][up]Most people I've seen like her because she's cute, sweet, and underappreciated. Mostly cute, though. Moe-through-helplessness, I guess.

[up][up][up] You'd love Superior Spider-Man, then. It's a delightful story of Otto Octavius robbing Peter Parker of his body, thereby turning Spider-Man from snarky vigilante into born-to-late '90s Anti-Hero, and eventually killing the last remnants of his personality drifting within his mind.

[up][up] Better take that back quick son

I mainly like Coco Pommel because she's adorable as well as the polar opposite of that complete bitch Suri Polomare. Also, the mental image of Coco giving Suri the coffee she asked for right after quitting {Via hot burning coffee to the face} is too great to pass up.tongue

@Mousa and Midna Thanks but no thanks. I'm fine with just reading the Batman and Adventure Time comics that I've yet to read. And if I do go for any Spidey comics it'll probably be for ones in the 90s.

Wasn't Maud beating Cheese Sandwich out from the start?

Also, I can understand why. Cheese is great, but he's so similar to Pinkie Pie that he doesn't add much that the show doesn't already have. Same for Coco. She's a great character, but she's basically a combination of Fluttershy and Rarity. Maud is memorable because so far, we haven't really had a truly stoic character on the show.

It has its good moments, but its treatment of Green Goblin is atrocious.

Admittedly, of all the new ponies I've seen thus far, I would have to say I kinda adore Coco too... -looks about, hiding something within a coat- It's not like I adore her enough to contest Octavia's position now...

(Just how cute she is, and how... sympathetic she is... I just want to hug her!)

@Midna, you lost me at the word moe. Now not only is she forgettable, I will never care about her ever.

Also, no love for the miniature Eastern Eauropen family fairy? Seabreeze was just really cool.

[up][up][up][up] "basically a combination of Fluttershy and Rarity"

Who are my first and second favorite of the main six respectively. I think we're on to something here.

[up]OK

She herself isn't, it's just that the concept can be applied to her, but whatever.

As for the new ponies in this season, it's a draw between Cheese Sandwich and Coco Pommel.

@Lumious Mmmm....I dunno.
