And Prince Blueblood most of the time is used for shipping.
 
No, he’s more used as a hate sink.
 
Me, I’d love to have the twist turn out he was friends with the third Wonderbolt and was screwing with Rarity for the most part (for the most part, he can still be a snob),

The princes aren’t loved but the King is hated by almost the entire fandom.

Shining only exists to be a prince and older brother.
 
Blueblood only existed to be what occupied Rarity at the Gala.

The same thing can be said about candence as she is only existed to be a pretty pink pony and twilights babysitter.
 
@Background Pony  
Actually His hatred is fading off and he is becoming as popular as NMN. I used to hate him because I thought he wasnt as funny As the other villains but then I compared him to Anime villains Such as Itachi And Akainu and I realized that I was a dumbass for thinking that all villains need to tell jokes and now hes my fav villain

And Cadence hasn’t gotten any love from the writers. If she gets more its because she’s a pretty pink princess.
 
And her fandom love is little more than “I would totally hit that”

Nah, she’s the only princess to actually DO anything to protect her subjects. They could have easily abandoned her character like they did Blueblood, but they didn’t because she had a point, they could characterize her more.

I actually was thinking more Alex Winter than Aladdin. ¬_¬
 
How’s this for a crossover idea, Soarin’ and Shiny get rip roarin’ly baked, and stumble into Timey’s TARDIS and activate it. Then they go into the past and get to meet the princesses as fillies, advancing 100 years at a time until they return to the present.  
SHINY N SOARIN’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

The whole show and every character in it exist solely to sell merch, only through people who actually try to do a good job with it regardless is it actually entertaining.
Fixed for you.

I love the title…I’ve been saying that it’d be hilarity to have a “princes” ep with Blueblood & Shiny forever.
 
’fcourse Blueblood was a one time side character in reality, I love how the fans used his funny royal brattiness (Blueblood blog was great, animations were great)

Blueblood would need lots of screentime to develop properly into a likeable character - screentime which, unfortunately, needs to be given to Applejack other things.

Something occurred to me.
 
First off, Blueblood only existed to subvert the Prince Charming thing. So no reason to see him again. Not saying we won’t but there’s no reason to do so.
 
And Shining Armor hasn’t received much less focus than Cadence she one thinks about it.
 
So where’s the fire? To imply that these characters are being neglected is disingenuous.

He was just there to be supplanted by Rarity.
 
We also see hoity toity and photo finish hanging off of her every word.  
It’s to show that she’s made it and gotten ahead of all her doubters and detractors.
 
And it’s irrelevant to the point I was making.

Build commie blocks!
Did Blueblood show up in a major way after season 2? I’m having a hardcore Mandela effect where I think he might have been in a background shot here and there, but was never featured prominently again after the S1 closer.

He only appears in the background in Sweet and Elite from season 2

And then in Equestria Games from season 4
large
From that point on he basically disappeared from the face of Equestria. There is no Mandela effect because there is no reason for him to have any other major role since he is just a tool to break an archetype.
