Well I have to say that Hans has something over Flash. He had a personality, even if he turned out to be a douchebag. I think a character with little to no personality is worse then a character who’s character is them being a jerk/evil/etc. because plenty of Antagonists (Ex: Most of the classic Disney animated villains such as Scar, Jafar, Frodo, Ursula, etc) have memorable personalities.
But when a character has barely any personality to show and he’s matched up with Twilight, I feel nothing for him and this I don’t care for the relationship with Twilight because the personality between the couple is literally just from Twilight. The only connection is Twilight has a crush on him, because… she keeps accidentally bumping into him? I’ve said before if there was a future episode where Twilight was going to date a character that’s been long established such as Big Mac, Fancy Pants, or any other known Stlalion that’s when I’d want to know where it leads because both characters have established personalities and we’ll see what happens between them in a romantic setting. I don’t get that from Flash because he has the personality of a cardboard cutout of himself smiling. Because all we know of him is he’s a nice guy. A relationship in a fiction should have some actual chemistry between the two characters.
Also, even if Flash did had more personality and even if he had chemistry with Twilight there’s still a huge problem: There’s two different Flash Sentries. The Flash Sentry that Twilight had a crush on was the human one in the EQG universe. The pony one is a different being. They’re the same character, but multiverse wise they’re still different beings. How can you have a relationship that started in one universe and expect the same type of relationship in the other? This would count as Twilight cheating on the Human Flash Sentry for the Pony Flash Sentry. If the Pony Twilight is a Princess while the human Twilight referenced in the first movie doesn’t even know the rest of the HuMane 5 and lives elsewhere from them means that the alternate selves live very different lives. Even if they’re the same character and personality. The two Twilight’s are different because of how their life is. The same should be applied to the two Flash Sentries. Just because Flash and Twilight spent time together in the human world doesn’t mean it should continue but with the Pony Flash in place of the Human one. Which would be the result if Flash was promoted to being a recurring character and as Twi’s boyfriend.
As such, it’s not just because I dislike Flash Sentry that I don’t want him to become more important in the main show. The relationship they have would not make sense even if I did like their relationship or the character. Luckily, I’m confident that Flash will not become more important in the show and probably will remain in Equestria Girls stuff only for the exception of the occasional cameos like in Three’s a Crowd and Twilight’s Kingdom in the Main Show. I’m not looking forward to any “moments” between Flash Sentry and Twilight in Equestria Girls 2 (Not really looking too forward to the movie in-general after seeing the official synopsis for it really. The only thing that I’m somewhat interested in seeing in the movie, is what the songs bring. The story feels like it will be about as lackluster as the first movie’s). And he probably won’t bother me so much as long as the Pony Twilight is not involved with that Spin-Off series that we heard was being developed in France. I feel even the writers know he was basically just there to fill in the “Generic love interest” criteria that’s apparently essential in any movie that’s centered around High School and know using him in the show for more then just cameo appearances isn’t necessary.
